WHO ARE YOU?

Hi! I'm Kooki, and I'm the idiot who made this website. It's like my little personal getaway, a side-project I chip away at whenever the fancy strikes me.

Some basic info: I'm serbian, trans and gay (hell of a combination), and I use exclusively he/him pronouns.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

I'm an art student, primarily doing digital art though my roots are in traditional drawings. I'm interested in a lot of digital formats, all the way from illustrations to sprite work to video, and html happens to be one of the mediums I find fun to dabble in for fun rather than for work. I'll post some of my college assignments here when I'm particularly proud of them, but outside of that nearly everything I make is born out of love for someone else's work. I make fanart and fancontent more often than original content, and my general passion for storytelling usually causes me to overanalyze anything I'm interested in to any extent. Outside of studies, I like video games (though I don't have a lot of time to play them), I love music (even though I'm practically tone deaf), and I like writing (even though I hardly read books sadly) I mostly write fanfiction, as writing is the last creative medium I have that I'm not monetizing so I want to keep it fun and lighthearted for myself, and even when my ideas don't get turned into full fics or projects I still enjoy making AUs or rewrites of media I enjoy (or media I think could've been written better lmao).

WHAT CAN PEOPLE EXPECT FROM YOU?

Jack shit!
Generally, though, I already mentioned I primarily post fancontent, so that's what you can expect. Illustrations, analyses of canon (through metatextual means, usually in the form of videos or essays) and a LOT of bad taste in characters. I have larger projects in the works, currently my biggest ones being fYS and [GAME I'M STILL DECIDING THE TITLE OF] as they're projects I'm going to be graded on very soon. HOWEVER, with all that said, don't expect consistent or regular uploads from me. I don't have timeframes for making things and the last time I tried it went up in flames the moment I had more pressing matters to attend to. Time management is my greatest weakness and it's incurable as far as I'm aware.

People contain multitudes. Which will you meet first?

SMALLER MASKS

TOP TEN KOOKI FACTS

• I have a very, very bad sense of smell. I can hardly tell smells apart, if I notice them at all. Certain cookies smell like tea and some (apparently) unpleasant smells I hardly notice or don't mind at all.
• I'm allergic to dust mites. Aka dust in general. I sneeze because of pillows and have the general constitution of a sickly little german boy.
• Sometimes I collect random things I see in public that are clearly discarded. I always wash them for hygene purposes but that's how I aquired a small blue rubber duckie that sits on my desk now.
• Math is my mortal enemy. If you make me do math I WILL cry.
• Steven Universe accidentally contributed to my vaguely comphet phase, where I was convinced I was attracted to women because, hey, everyone is, right? And all the women in the show were pretty, and if I found them pretty, that must mean I'm attracted to them, right? I knew I was trans before I knew I was gay.
• I make a lot of typos, not because I don't know those words or don't know what they mean, but just because English's way of spelling is complete fucking bullshit and I will never cease being salty about the fact that Vuk Karadžić made a reform of Only the Serbian language, Every language should take on Vuk's rules.
• When I was in the hospital as a kid, I didn't have internet access, and the ONE time I got internet access during that stay I insisted on watching the entirety of those "dirty undertale confessions" videos that were really popular in the early fandom. I laughed at all of them so fucking hard you have no fucking idea.
• I have a hipster bun. I missed it dearly when I cut my hair.
• My first job was a one-time thing of pouring drinks for guests at an art exhibition opening. I handled the stress better than I thought I would.
• I usually carry rubbing alcohol with me, as well as tissues, wet wipes, bandaids, and hair ties. Even when I didn't have hair long enough to tie, I carried hair ties.
• I have a pair of fingerless biker gloves I'm too self conscious to wear
• I have a paper cutout of Sisyphus from some random magazine hanging on the wall next to my monitor. We're in this together.
• I, in fact, used to have blue hair and pronouns. Now I just have pronouns.
• On my path to my high school, I had to walk through a bit of a forested park. Because of this, I ended up seeing a lot of crows very often and, due to being a tumblr kid, I knew very well what crows were capable of and how smart they were. I got into a pretty decent habit of feeding crows for the few years I was there, and I'm so sad I don't visit that place anymore because it's kind off off the beaten path for me now. I miss my crow friends every day.
• I don't like coconut flavour. it's just icky.
• There's lost media from my childhood I'm afraid I'm never gonna see again but it's entirely too niche for me to look for properly. This includes a music video for kids that played on that one TV channel, certain songs that aren't that old but that I never saved in playlists or anything and now I can't find again, and also certain games on gamejolt that were free and I played like once as a kid but once my old computer got wiped I completely lost access to. I still think about them sometimes.
• I can read Tarot cards. Not very well, but I can. I don't think of it as a religious thing, just an ominous thing.
• I used to be afraid of scalpels as a kid because, long story - I saw dad talking to someone across the table from him and he was like.. playing with the scalpel I guess, by running it into this plank of cardboard in front of him absentmindedly. And like days after the fact the scalpel and the cardboard were still sitting on some work table and while no-one was looking I tried to replicate what dad was doing. Very predictably I cut myself and sobbed like a baby the entire time dad was disinfecting the (admittedly shallow) cut and putting a bandaid on it. He apologised for doing something like that while I (an impressionable child) was around to see it without actually being responsible about it and warning me against it etc, it's cemented in my brain as the first time an adult really apologised to me and admitted he was in the wrong even though I was the one who did something stupid. It was the first time I saw my own blood as well, by trying to hide it from everyone at first before they enevitably caught onto the fact that I was acting panicked and suspicious. I'm not afraid of scalpels anymore but that fear lasted throughout, like, the entirety of my childhood and teenage years.
• I carry around an emergency skalpel whenever I go outside for... art student reasons........ Totally not for self defense.
• I learned German as a second (third?) language in school for like 8 years. I don't even know how to structure a proper German sentance still.
• I love sticky notes. I don't use them as often as I could but I love having them around.
• Funnest fact of all! This list is more than ten entries long
