New and Improved #Introduction just for Beige.Party!

Hey there! I’m Petrichord (she/her). Please don’t call me Petri—it makes me think of the biology class I failed in college. I signed up for Mastodon back in 2018 but only recently started using it this past year, and then my instance (octodon.social) announced its shutdown so I've decided to migrate here to make new friends! Better late than never, right?

By day, I’m a marketer from New Jersey. By night, I’m a do-everything-else-to-stop-the-encroaching-feeling-of-doom-er. My distraction of choice is #Acting. I have a BFA in #MusicalTheatre performance, and I spend my free time working professionally and with community theatre companies. I sing, dance, act, choreograph, direct, and design costumes. I also run a shadowcast of The #RockyHorror Picture Show and have been a performer with the cast for over a decade.

Other things I’ll probably post about include #Burlesque, #Cosplay, #VideoGames (especially #Horror, #Mystery, and #RPGs), #TabletopGaming & #DnD (I used to be a DnD and Tabletop Gaming Streamer for a pretty big company though I don't do that anymore), #BoardGames, and #Books.

Fun facts: I’m an award-winning writer, but executive dysfunction usually wins, so long posts are rare victories. I’m #ActuallyAutistic and have #ADHD, which means I’m very socially awkward, so chaos comes naturally.

I love Porgs, glitter, and indie perfumes. Eat the rich. Let’s be friends. 😘

I'm a big fan of Mike Flanagan's approach to horror and dark themes, and there's something inherently horrifying about most of the origins of Clayface.

The 'Feat of Clay' two-part from Batman the animated series is still hauntingly creepy and unsettling, managing to implement both addiction and body horror as plot points in a kids show in a way that feels disturbing even if you are watching as an adult. So a the pitch for a "standalone Clayface movie as a horror/thriller/tragedy" certainly sounds like it has potential. Really curious to see what comes out of this.

That short story I was struggling to edit and submit before the deadline in August...

It was accepted!

It'll be my first published story!

After decades of feeling guilty about my passion, last year I began to write with intent. Now, thanks to the lovely friends in my writing group, and a publication that liked my twisted tale...this little story will see the light of day.

I am ecstatic!
