INTRODUCTION
Hi!
The name is Valentino Maximo, or just Valentino. Val for short and I usually let my closer friends call me that. I also go by Cain, Apollo, and other names listed down here, whichever you may like to call me. However, there would be times I'd like to be called by one more than the other. You will see my preferred names at the time in my Discord "About Me" section if you have me added. My default, however, is always Valentino. If you kin, especially if we share the same kin source, PLEASE call me by kin names!
With that being said, I'd like to indicate that I'm an adult ('98) and is uncomfortable interacting with minors most of the time. I do have friends who are minors but I put a certain barrier in between. That, and I always view them and almost everyone younger then me as my younger siblings. I have quite a lot of found siblings. I might avoid interacting with you if we have no friends in common and you're a minor.
I'm technically mixed but I'm mainly Southeast Asian (Filipino) and I reside in the Philippines, so you'll definitely see me awake at the latter hours when you live half way or on the other side of the globe. My timezone is GMT+8/UTC+8, so please keep in mind that my messages will be seen late. My sleeping schedule is also a huge question mark for me so don't expect so much regarding responses. I sometimes respond late when I text people because I'm drained of energy 95% of the time.
I am a transgender male and a loud n proud bi (check here to know more) who is currently confused as to how to express my gender expression at ALL. I am a huge advocate of my community. Keep in mind that I often use SOGIE as a term, unbeknownst to most people in the community, but not so much in my country, so you'll see me use that term a lot. SOGIE stands for Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression. If you're a Filipino who wants to know more about the bill, click on this to know more.
I would also like to indicate that I am a neurodivergent. I am in sporadic therapy as I am not exactly in the right financial state to get consistent treatment. I am, however, professionally diagnosed with Bipolar I, OCD, and ADHD. I am getting myself reassessed if I suffer from PTSD/C-PTSD, BPD and Autism when I can, but with emphasis on the prior. Please ask if you have any questions regarding this. I will be happy to assist you, especially if you're a fellow Filipino who is of need of mental health assistance and/or resources. To add to this, please tell me ahead of time or tag the topic of death, wakes, death anniversaries, hospitals, and accidents for me. I have trauma surrounding those. Likewise, I will be tagging lots of things but let me know in advance if you have anything in particular you'd like me to tag for you. Thank you ^o^)/
I'm not sure how to properly expound as to who I am as I am not a big fan of labeling myself as anything but stupid (/lh) or put ridiculous title on myself such as "Your average loud and opinionated Southeast Asian", "God's sleepiest soldier" or "A Lovecraftian being straight out of Lovecraft's hit singles" and so much more. However, if you want to know my personality on such a short notice and know personality types and astrology, my following astrology placements/personality types are:
INTJ | 5w6 | 514 | sp/so | EII/LII | Phlegmatic-Choleric | RLOAI | EFVL | Page of Blood | Sagittarius sun and Taurus moon, will not reveal my rising.
NOTE: The list is incomplete because I have yet to take some other personality tests.
Another thing you have to note about me is that I am very, VERY chatty online. Due to my barely medicated self and meticulous need to detail everything, I do unfortunately detail everything out like this. Thus, I tend to infodump a lot and I meant that with such emphasis.
I am quite skillful in a lot of things. A loser jack of all trades, really. I am a performing artist first (singer, stage actor, voice actor, etc.) and a visual artist second (traditional and digital artist, sucks ass at it tho LMAO). I can do more things than the arts, but I did hone my skills growing up around it, so I talk about performing a lot. I originally aimed to be a lawyer, but now I just want to be a part of the academe, whichever my path leads me, really, because I like all of them. I was also a Diplomacy/IR major when I was in college, so I do talk about politics every now and then. I am a beginner in tarot, but pretty intermediate when it comes to astrology and have seriously self-studied for around 8 years now but have loved it since I was in elementary, so I can read different kinds of charts. I run a sideline in astrology chart reading but I'm on hiatus right now.
In addition to what I've said regarding my skills, I also love teaching and giving my two cents about what I know about my specialties. Some of the things I teach are singing and ESL, but I have taught them as a requirement in the past, but I sometimes teach those, even Tagalog, for fun. Feel free to ask me questions about my specialties. Asking for a lesson, especially in singing, might be another as it DOES require payment.
I speak 5 languages and I aim to learn more!
FIL: TAG (nat / fluent) , ENG (adv / fluent) , 日本語 (int, mostly conversational) , ESP/FSL (beg).
I learned Japanese growing up from my mum and my ojii-san, and I learned my beginner languages through college. I mostly speak English and Filipino (Tagalog), but I really am more akin to understanding Filipino since it's my native language. There would be times I won't understand you immediately. Apologies if I ask you questions. I also end up speaking in deep Tagalog so feel free to ask me what the heck I'm saying when I'm talking in Tagalog.
As I have mentioned, I kin so here is my kinlist. PLEASE VIEW IT IF YOU'RE KIN. Don't know what kin is? Here is a link that explain what kinning is! If you have any problems with my kin source or see it as problematic, please keep in mind that I am extremely critical of my kin sources. I have my own opinion or two about them and the last thing I want is for someone to start shit with me about them. I don't have to lay out every single thing, including my opinions of them. If you really need my opinions, please ask me what they are and we can talk in a civil manner.
I have comforts' list. Note that not all of them are fictional as they are a general comfort list. Please interact with me if you kin any of my comforts!! Worry not, I won't just befriend you because you kin them, I would really just love to be friends as we have similar interests.
Lastly, keep in mind that I use tone tags to get my messages across as properly as I could through texting, as sometimes the way I convey my words is misunderstood. That, and I just like to be clear with my words overall. After all, I am meticulous with how I convey myself. If you have no clue what tone tags are, please look at this to see how it is used in a sentence. I also type formally like this on a regular, but not so much through messages and mostly only seen on posts. I do have times wherein I do that, however. It's a built up habit.
If you have any questions, clarifications,
violent reactions, let me know through the social medias and other contacts that I will be linking down below. I will answer them to the best of my abilities. Let's be friends!! I do tend to be awkward at first. Please be patient with me.
Bonus stamps and blinkies that lets you know more about me.
消えてください
DO NOT FOLLOW/INTERACT IF
You fit the basic do not follow/interact criteria, pro-ship, etc. I do not tolerate discrimination and disgusting behaviour of any kind.
You're a minor/you just turned 18 and you don't know me from a mutual friend.
Drama heavy/love drama/often in drama. Please, I am so exhausted. This is the only place I can get relaxation from so the last thing I want is another headache and it's from the internet out of all places.
Against religions, especially Abrahamic religions.
I practice an Abrahamic religion
but this doesn't mean I condone every single discrimination that people have done for the sake of religion. I am very critical of them.
I'm one of the people I know who makes fun of my own religion. I focus on the spiritual side of it, not the bigotry that it ensures.
Kin with my listed kins that has "Don't follow/interact" in them. More interaction rules are found on the link for my kins.
If we have any conflicting kins, I will let you know immediately.
I talk about heavy topics at times since I have a bad mental health.
What I normally talk about is alcohol, smoking (!!!), intrusive thoughts, and the like. Some of my interests tend to be heavy, too (i.e. politics).
I tag them as much as I can, don't worry, but if you're uncomfortable with the frequency of how I talk about them, I suggest to not follow nor interact with me at all.

You might wonder: Why did you write all of that? Why waste time on all of those?
