hi there! i’m matilde. i’m early 30s, living in montreal.

on the internet i’ve had a few handles; when I was young it was Chiaro, then as the internet aged out of forums it became a few one-off URLs on various tumblogs, livejournals and dreamwidths.

These days I often go by maru, kotomaru or hanamaru online. You can address me either way!

from a really young age i’ve been invested in the creation of places, aesthetic and tonal spaces to live in. i think this same tendency led me to making art and video games more generally. with friends, i run a fediverse instance at kokoro.garden and a forum at paralogue.org.

core stats

please don’t use this information to curse me.

  • mbti: infj
  • astrological trinity: virgo / libra / gemini

hobbies

i take photos for fun, write poems (usually some variation of blank verse), play guitar casually, slowly pick up more french and japanese.

favourite…

i review music on rym and keep track of my Gamer Credentials at kuudere.pl/us/plus.

i made this site as a low-pressure self-expression zone for half-thoughts and poems. i’m not that shy about the mixture of my various identities, though. if you want my professional site, it’s here.
