Hey, it's nice to meet you!!! :D

I’m Zoë (she/her), a proud Native Hawaiian born and raised on O‘ahu currently residing in Arizona. I’m a mail enthusiast, USPS fangirl, and serial shopper. I love my family, boyfriend, Epson Perfection V39II, drawing, selfshipping, stickers, and a whole bunch of other stuff. I dream of one day working at the Post Office. LGBT (bisexual + bigender), sex positive, and down with the clown. Whoop whoop!!

I like a lot of specific shows/things, so here's some general stuff I like first! If you aren't into reading long walls of text, I have swap preferences and an ABC's of me at the bottom of my page. :)

My favorite colors are any shade of blue (preference towards cyan, baby blue, and turquoise), pink, and blood red! I love chihuahuas, chihuahua-terriers (got 2 back home that I miss dearly), and cute cats. Food themed items are great because my eyes are WAY bigger than my stomach. Favorite restaurant is Chili's. I adore Sanrio characters and other kawaii things. If you recognize any of the characters/fandoms I'm into, I would love anything related or even vaguely similar. :) I regularly collect merch of my favorite characters and enjoy sharing with others if I can. Owner of multiple stuffed animals, and total believer in live, laugh, love!

I love drawings, notecards, letters, or even just a quick hello written on scrap paper - it's fun to read and I like seeing other peoples handwriting. Feel free to talk about yourself, I like hearing about other peoples day to days!

🌟 MUSIC 🌟

Music is a HUGE part of my life, I can't live without it. I was a hardcore band geek (concert, jazz, pep, and marching band), dad is a DJ, mama sings, and my boyfriend is a music teacher. I love karaoke, singing in the car with my sister, going to concerts, dancing, musicals, all of it! I played trombone/euphonium and my partner is a bassoonist so naturally I have a bias towards those instruments. xD

Gorillaz is my favorite band and Bruno Mars is my favorite singer!!! :D I've seen Gorillaz live at Life Is Beautiful 2017...I hope to be proposed to at a Bruno concert haha.

I like a bunch of artists, including (but not limited to): Eminem, Insane Clown Posse, Daft Punk, TWRP, Ninja Sex Party, Justin Timberlake, Lemon Demon, Panic! At The Disco, The Living Tombstone, *NSYNC, Ben Folds, Falling In Reverse, Mindless Self Indulgence/EURINGER, The Beatles, Tally Hall, Oingo Boingo, and DEMONDICE. I also like musical and videogame soundtracks.

🌟 VIDEOGAMES 🌟

I'm a big fan of Sonic, Persona, and Danganronpa - the titles I like the most are Sonic '06, Generations, Colors, P4, P5, Trigger Happy Havoc, Goodbye Despair, and Ultra Despair Girls. My absolute favorite videogames of all time are Mario Kart Wii, Shadow the Hedgehog (2005), and Subnautica.

I was raised on Super Mario but switched over to Sonic the Hedgehog in my twenties. Some other games I like are Stardew Valley, Golf with Friends, Lethal Company, Minecraft, DDLC (me and my BF own an embarrassing amount of merch for this game), Fortnite, Pikmin 1/2, Fallout: New Vegas, Golf with Friends, and TF2. I used to be super into Overwatch but stopped enjoying it around 2019.

🌟 CHARACTERS 🌟

I love fictional characters...like...a LOT. I'm a selfshipper with multiple fictional others (fictional significant other) and comfort characters. I love drawing my favorites and/or commissioning others to draw them. My all time favorites are Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic), Morgana (P5), Mitsuo Kubo (P4), Loki Laufeyson (The Avengers --> Thor: The Dark World), Lapis Lazuli (Steven Universe), Seto Kaiba (Yu-Gi-Oh!), Cinnamoroll, Bad Badtz-Maru, and Little Twin Stars (Sanrio).

Other characters I like include Ryuji Sakamoto, Yukiko Amagi, Tohru Adachi, Yosuke Hanamura, Teddie (Persona), Yuri, Natsuki (Doki Doki Literature Club), Luigi, Waluigi, Bowser Jr., Rosalina (Mario), Cranston, Antonio, Sparro, Monty, Deli, Goldie (Animal Crossing), Kiyotaka Ishimaru, Sayaka Maizono, Mukuro Ikusaba, Hiyoko Saionji, Kazuichi Souda, Seiko Kimura (Danganronpa), Fresh Punch, Aggretsuko, Haida (Sanrio), Afro Ken (San-X), Beerus, Vegeta, Freiza (Dragon Ball), Luigi, Rosalina, Bowser Jr. (Sonic), and a LOT more!!!

🌟 SHOWS, MOVIES, AND BOOKS 🌟

I don't really watch shows or movies unless they really interest me...reading is great and I'd like to do it more often, but I'm lazy. :,)

My favorite shows are Bojack Horseman, Arcane, and Steven Universe. I also like Beastars, Teasing Master-Takagi-san, Saiki K., Sgt.Frog, Aggretsuko, Boys Over Flowers, The Cuphead Show, Black Mirror, Squid Game, and Bar Rescue (SHUT IT DOWN!!!).

My favorite movies are Princess and the Frog, Coraline, and A Silent Voice. I LOVE the Sonic movies, Wreck It-Ralph, DBS: Super Hero, Thor, The Avengers, Spider-man: Into the Spiderverse, The Batman, Talk To Me, Warm Bodies, Steven Universe: The Movie, Five Nights at Freddy's, Misery, The Hunger Games trilogy, Nimona, and a whole bunch I can't even remember right now.

I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't read an actual book in a while. >_< My favorites are Misery (Stephen King), the Chibi Vampire manga (Yuna Kagesaki), I Am a Hero (Kengo Hanazawa), and The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins). I also like Zoe Letting Go (Nora Price), The Lovely Bones (Alice Sebold), and Playboy magazines. Me and some friends are doing a makeshift book club where we all take turns reading from a PDF on Discord. We're starting off easy with City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau!

I mark swaps as “sent” after I put them in the mailbox. If you ever receive something from me that requires extra postage, please let me know (I'm more than happy to send stamps or pay the difference via PayPal/venmo)! I always read my partner’s profile(s) and try my hardest to send things you’ll like.**

✨ Swap favorites and other info:

Postcards - Animals, Hawaii, pinup, Sanrio/kawaii, anime/cartoons, vintage humor

Stamps - Love series (the 2023 Puppy & Kitty stamps are my all time favorite), sea creatures, animals, fruit, florals/nature

Colors - Blue (any shade - preference towards baby blue, cyan, and turquoise), pink, red

Swaps that include sticker sheets - As long as it's a complete set (no stickers missing), I don't mind if it's cut in half/thirds. :3 Sometimes they're too big for the envelope, I get it!

**For ATC swaps, I typically prioritize my own interests/wants when creating rather than my partners. I apologize, but I find it difficult to draw things I'm not interested in. Like always, I'll make sure to avoid sending something you might find offensive!

✨ Items/content I don't mind:

• Swearing

• Pinup girls/nude pictorials (on postcards or stationary items)

• Touristy, handmade, Etsy, and drawn/art PCs

• Religious items

Please try not to send anything pro military, cop, etc. unless it's humorous in nature. I don't tolerate racism, homophobia, or transphobia. I do realize that some vintage humor PCs can be a bit misogynistic, but it doesn't usually bother me. As long as the punchline isn’t assault, non-consent, or "I hate my wife," I’m good to go!

I don't really enjoy getting knock-off vinyl stickers from Amazon, Wish, etc. There's a couple cool designs from time to time, but more often than not it's made using stolen art. :( I may decorate envelopes/stationary with these but I try not to send them as extras.
