about matilde
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.
