Single post in Yautjan's Journal (oh my)

My name is Yautjan, Yaut for short (like the boat). I am 29 years old as of August 18th of 2023 and I live in Oregon, in the United States. I have autism, ADHD, severe depression and mild anxiety - these are all simply facts of my life. I was diagnosed with an ASD when i was three, so I have had an immense amount of therapy and learning to manage that. I'm always happy to talk about these struggles with people, even if they're not sure they have it themselves. I have done a few weird jobs in my life - started as a barista, worked in mortgage for a while as a processor, worked at a crematorium and then an organ donation center for a while after that. Now I'm slowly working through beauty school to actually become a make-up artist. I had originally wanted to be an opera singer, but I have permanent damage to my rib cage that makes singing very difficult now so I went with the next best option for me (the make-up). Of all those jobs I liked the organ donation one the most though. Please feel free to PM me for stories. Yes I have heard/seen weird things at these jobs. I went on a 2 month road trip this year (2023) from August to October. It's been a lot of fun.

My Friends

• Sky is my best friend on the entire planet. We met through a Love Nikki association discord and haven't looked back. I collect Gentle pokemon for them sometimes.
• Seth and I met in the same Love Nikki association discord and when drama imploded that server, we became a tight knit group of friends. They are the Protein King.
• Invi is one of many friends I met through writing fanfiction on ao3. They're my PMDND buddy, and my fellow pair-maker helper outer. Invi is smarter at Pokemon than anyone I know, for better or for worse.
• Bee is like a sibling to me and another friend from ao3. They once flew across the country to see me because I was sad about my house. I drove across the country to see them. I want to live in their couch cushions and they would feed me bagels the whole time.
• Tyr should be sainted for how good-hearted and kind they are. Another ao3 friend, they were my first stranger-hypeman for writing and are themselves very talented at writing and art. They love FF14 and they DM the PMDND game I'm in.
• Jubi is the older sibling I never had despite being younger than me. We went on a road trip together in 2023 across the entire USA to see our friends, and I learned so much against both of our wills about truck driving from them. Loves sunfish more than anyone on earth.
• Alyx is the creature of the ao3-friend group and belovedly so. The self-proclaimed bread guy. It shares my love of minecraft in a way few do not.
• Gee is my local friend by chance from the ao3 friend group, and we have bonded over our hatred of our shared home. Has the cutest little dog named Lola.
• Dion is the friend group baby and loves spiders more than anyone I know. We named our sobbing joltik emote after him because they are the eternal little sibling.
• Bog is the newest edition to the ao3 friendgroup and is the resident barboach lover. Sally hates their barboach chain specifically though.
• Sparky is another member of the friend group and the resident Splatoon lover. They play in my dnd campaign as a rogue and I want to pet their awful little guy's head.
• Qasida is one of the newer additions to my friend group, and is an accomplished writer and shares a cat named Duck with Alienea.
• Emmet is another new addition and named themselves after the pokemon character. Has a dog we call El Woowoo affectionately.
• Alienea is the third of the new trio and another accomplished author. If you read PLA fanfics, you know their work. You know.
• Chris is my friend from here on Pokefarm! He is obsessed with bugs and melans and he and I hunted Karrablast and Shelmet together.

We'll see
