hi it's mango

heyy!!
so, this is a carrd thing-... uh. yeah!
i'd recommend reading everything below- sorry if it's a bit of a slog, i am not the most succinct of people.
anyway, have a good one!ps: if there are any concerns about accessibility or anything i've said or done, please let me know and i am entirely willing to discuss/resolve whatever it is.

  • before you follow: i usually won't tag interests or anything (you can find those in the about me bit)

  • dni if: basic stuff (so.. y'know, if you're a bigot or a creep.).. one of those NFT or AI art bros.. jesus can't think of anything else off the top of my head but yeah

about mango(es)!

some basic- stuff! yeah

  • he/him

  • bi & trans (guy), still working out identity a little but yeah

  • call me mango or mangoes? either is a-ok with me

  • biracial, nonblack (I'm Desi + white (specifically Indian (Catholic Goan- I'm personally nonreligious but that informs a lot of experience w/ that side of my family))

  • artist (i draw, traditional + mostly digital {IbisPaintX, Autodesk Sketchbook + Procreate}), and attempted animator (WORKING ON IT, would use FlipAClip or somethin)

  • musician (alto/tenor saxophone, learning bass guitar and mandolin)

  • potentially neurodivergent? looking to try and learn more about it- also, i don't usually need tone indicators, but i do sometimes get a little confused about the meaning and/or connotation of things (especially jokes or things w/out context)- and tone indicators do also help sometimes

  • if i use tone indicators, usually it's to make sure that i know what i'm saying comes off as intended, not because i think the other person would need them (unless they specify that they usually need tone indicators or something, and i'm unsure i guess? i don't know how to clarify this properly, sorry)

my interests/stuff to talk about!

other things to know

some things about me that i figured are still important to keep in mind or know about, but shouldn't go in the basic intro (to avoid clutter)

  • i forgot what i was gonna put here but if i remember i will add it & post about the updates

  • fluctuations in the way i type usually don't mean anything? so if i'm talking to you and the way i type suddenly kinda changes then i'm usually still doin a-ok, it just kinda happens idk

  • i am a singlet (non-system, body does not have DID)

  • i have a very stupid & potentially a slightly dirty sense of humour (it might not come up a lot though??)

  • my art style fluctuates a lot

  • well aware i'm not the best artist out there, very sorry if i seem pretentious or anything at times
