I love every beast on this earth and make no apology for it
I get winded easily by social interactions and am most likely not interested in talking on the regular or making new friends. Nothing personal at all, I am just satisfied by the amount of friends I have already.

I don’t tag many things (aside from gore and abuse CWs) and don’t recommend you follow me if you need things tagged
I also don’t recommend you follow me if you don’t like seeing pictures of insects and spiders
