A mutual of mine on tumblr, talon-dragonbeast, had the idea to take a stab at Joseph Fasano's poetry template for children and encouraged us other beasts to take a swing at it. You can see my attempt here, although I thought I might repost it here. I want to use this place more often. It's quite. I like it.

My name is Gillman.
Today I feel like a flurry of fins and sunshine.
Sometimes I am cool mud on a stone.
Sometimes I am a lizard dropping its tail.
But always I am a friend.
I ask the world, "how do I become a kinder beast?"
And the answer is a flurry of fins and sunshine.

This doesn't stick to Fasano's template perfectly, but I don't feel the need to. It's simple, but I like it.

Hello all, I am Gillman. I go by Amadeus on other parts of the internet, so that name is OK too. I use he/she, but not they/them. I don't like they/them. I am an aromantic lesbian and in my early 20's. I am going to university right now, and I study English and anthropology. I want to go into editing for research writing or archives and special collections.

As my name implies, I am a Gillman. I am also a bit of an alien and a gargoyle, although those are not as vibrant and do not take up much of what I talk about. I also am Stitch, from Lilo and Stitch, but again, that will not come up as often.

I am a few other places. I check my tumblr, gone-fish-mode, daily and nonhuman national park a few times a month. I am not sure how often I will be on deamwidth. If you want to reach out to me, tumblr is your best bet for a quick response.

Hobby-wise, I enjoy art, writing, reading, hiking, camping, caving, and kayaking. I collect lots of things and always enjoy learning.

I hope to post essays here, but who knows! I am also working on a nonhuman newsletter, called nonhuman notions! I will likely post updates here.

Thank you for reading, I hope to enjoy my time here.
