Notes in passing
Gabrielvare Alastair is the name. Biel or Gabi works just as well, or any nickname that comes easily to you. I’m an adult above 21, and I use he/him pronouns. I’m bilingual and move between English and Indonesian, though English is what I mostly use here since it’s the language I reach for when I want to think out loud. This account is a personal space for me, I share what’s on my mind, engage with things I enjoy, and let thoughts pass through without overthinking them.
Between sound and screen
Music plays a big role in how I get through my days. I’m really into R&B, especially tracks with trap elements or solid bass synths. That said, I don’t limit myself to one genre. If something sounds good, I’ll listen. Artists I often come back to include Arctic Monkeys, Reality Club, The Boyz, NMIXX, no na, NewJeans, Charlie Puth, RIIZE, Harry Styles, DPR IAN, Ariana Grande, KATSEYE, and more depending on mood.
For movies, I'm a fan of mystery and thrillers, especially stories that unfold gradually and keep you thinking. I also enjoy melodrama. I don’t always express emotions easily, so films that manage to pull something out of me tend to stay with me longer. Some favorites include the Knives Out trilogy, Interstellar, Se7en, Your Name Engraved Herein, and When Life Gives You Tangerines. I’m also on Letterboxd. Let me know if you want to be mutuals.
Games are also how I unwind or keep the hands busy in my free time. I play Genshin Impact, Plato, Block Blast, and Sudoku. Feel free to reach me out if you want to be friends there, or play games together.
To keep things clear
I tend to interact on the timeline. If we’re mutuals, I’ll probably reply to your tweets or casually show up in your mentions. Replies might take a while due to daily responsibilities, but it’s never intentional distance. I answer when I can do so properly. From time to time, I also do follower cleanups. It’s nothing personal and not meant to send a message. I simply prefer keeping my space comfortable and active.
I also want this space to remain respectful and safe. Therefore, I’m not looking to interact with minors or people who hold homophobic views. It’s more into maintaining comfort rather than drawing harsh boundaries. If this feels easy, you’re welcome here.
