About the Barista

Hello! Thank you for coming to my about page. You can call me Gatari! I'm a bit bad at describing myself but I will do my best.


Lessee here...I'm a young woman in the US trying to achieve my dream of becoming a showrunner someday (for a cartoon!). But in the meantime I busy myself with little trivialities like playing video games, drawing characters and coding this website. Like I said on the front page, social media is kinda overbearing these days with the increasing user unfriendliness, runaway corporatism/crypto and AI nonsense and everyone getting into fights over who knows what, so when I heard that you could just make your own little site to just post whatever on, I was like "woah!! I should try this!! >:O"


The downside about that is that I'm a not that great at coding. But heck it we ball, am I right?


What else...umm...I'm an illustrator who likes to draw wacky cartoons about a variety of odd things (a bookish teenager who ends up living with a family of vampires, a singing robot fighting crime with the power of music and happiness, a gaggle of fish-people annoying each other on a scenic beach...for example). I'm a huge nerd obsessed with anime and manga, music, vocal synths and video games. I have a liking for cute-creepy stuff, horror and enjoy anything related to the supernatural. I'm really passionate about my interests to the point it's honestly really embarrassing. I'm shy and struggle to talk to people but I do my best if you're friendly. I have mental illnesses but I am working on them. I'm constantly sleepy.
