hey

i’m a parrot who comes online sometimes

a few things about me:

-hispanic, half costa-rican, half cuban. i’m bilingual (fluent in english and spanish)

-i go by she/they

-pansexual

-17

-i’m an only-child (checks out)

-i’d like to think i’m a pretty decent artist (i’ll happily share some drawings if you ask me to) been drawing since I could hold a pencil. took AP 2d art in 11th. (got a 4!) barely draw though :-(

-jody’s just an alias. if you want, you can also call me len, my real (middle) name

and media (a mix of shows, movies, and games) I hold dear to my heart, in no particular order:

-Breaking Bad

-Arcane: League of Legends

-Red Ded Redemption 2

-The Last of Us 1 & 2 (The games)

-Into/Across the Spiderverse

-Mob Pyscho 100

-Avatar: The Last Airbender (still currently watching)

-Night In The Woods

if you ever need some new stuff to get into (and you also happen to be a big fan of animation, and good storytelling in general, like me)... i heavily recommend going and giving one of these things a watch/play, if possible. you won’t regret it :-)

and hey, if you happen to know one of these things already, you’re so cool

some of my best pieces of advice— based off personal experience?

keep being you, meaning, never change for anybody. always trust your gut. and don’t be afraid to say sorry, even if saying sorry seems scary or embarrassing. sometimes we look back and wish we tried to mend things properly when we still had the chance. (though always remember it’s never too late to speak your mind)

if you’ve read until here, thank you. here’s something else, if you’d like to read that too: :-)

what brought me to cups?

it’s honestly difficult to pinpoint an exact reason — because truthfully, it was a mix of things. i initially came here out of loneliness, the desire to be understood, and most of all, I came here cause of my anxiety. getting on here and chatting, getting my mind off things, even when I was on the verge of tears, really soothed me.

i was 14 then. i’m older now, and i can say i’ve thankfully managed to tame my nerves a little. I still get jumpy sometimes, but it’s not as big of a deal as it was before (it came to the point where it was debilitating for me)

though, i’ll be honest with you, i still heavily struggle nowadays. with new things, too. but if there’s one thing i hope for every day that passes by is the ability to make people’s days better by being here. that’s what keeps me going.

thanks for reading. :-) i’m a goof, so if i sound serious in this bio, it’s really just because i wanted it to come across as semi-formal and easy to read through 🤍 i don’t come on here as much anymore, but i still appreciate all the connections i’ve made. and, if you’re new? i’d love to get to know you, too. may be a little shy at first, but talk to me and i’ll talk to you. again, thanks
