Hey, it's nice to meet you!!! :D ❤️

I’m Zoë (she/her), a proud Native Hawaiian, mail enthusiast, USPS fangirl, and (not-so-proud) 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!!

🎵 Song: Kiss Me, Son of God by They Might Be Giants

👤 People: Me and my boyfriend!

📒 Character: Captain Churchill (BTD 6)

👐 Item(s): Debit cards...

🏃‍♀️ Activity: Doing Art Fight attacks!! (I've fallen out of swapping for a bit...)

In light of the growing amount of Bad gateway errors, I want to let it be known that I intend on swapping here as long as possible!

If I've ever sent you an ATC that you don't want anymore, PLEASE consider shooting me a message and/or sending it back to me. I'm very proud of my art and don't get to keep it often.

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. :3

My favorite colors are any shade of blue (preference towards cyan, baby blue, and turquoise), pink, and blood red! I love chihuahuas, chihuahua-terriers (we have 2!), 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! Wite-out should sponsor me because it's physically impossible for me to write without making mistakes LOL.

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!

My favorite places: Chili's and the Post Office!

🌟 MUSIC 🌟

Music is a huge part of my life, I can't live without it. I was a dedicated band geek in school, dads a DJ, mom sings, and my boyfriend is a music teacher. Gorillaz is my favorite band and Bruno Mars is my favorite singer!!! :D I've seen Gorillaz live at Life Is Beautiful 2017...I seriously 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, The Living Tombstone, *NSYNC, Ben Folds/5, Falling In Reverse, Mindless Self Indulgence/EURINGER, The Beatles, Tally Hall, Oingo Boingo, and DEMONDICE. My favorite vocal synth is Kasane Teto and I also enjoy 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 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 during the pandemic. Some other games I like are Doki Doki Literature Club (me and my BF own an embarrassing amount of merch for this game), Lethal Company, Bloons Card Storm, BTD 6, Golf with Friends, Apex Legends, Minecraft, Fortnite, Pikmin 1/2, Fallout: New Vegas, Stardew Valley, Overwatch, and TF2.

🌟 CHARACTERS 🌟

I love fictional characters...a LOT. I'm a selfshipper with multiple fictional others (fictional significant other) and comfort characters. It's definitely something that brings me great joy and comfort + allows me to blow off steam!

My favorite characters are Morgana (P5), Mitsuo Kubo (P4), Loki Laufeyson (MCU 2012-2019 NOT including Ragnarok), Lapis Lazuli (Steven Universe), Cinnamoroll, Bad Badtz-Maru (Sanrio). Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic) is and will always be my favorite character in all of fiction.

A few voice actors have had the misfortune of meeting me (LOL).

🌟 SHOWS, MOVIES, AND BOOKS 🌟

My favorite shows are Bojack Horseman, Arcane, and Steven Universe. I also like Beastars, The Amazing Digital Circus, Teasing Master-Takagi-san, BNHA, Saiki K., Sgt.Frog, Aggretsuko, Boys Over Flowers, The Cuphead Show, Black Mirror, Squid Game, Hazbin Hotel, and Helluva Boss.

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 happy to say that I've recently gotten back into reading!! :D It's a slow but welcome change. 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.

I mark swaps as “sent” after I put them in the mailbox. I always read my partner’s profile(s) and try my hardest to send things you’ll like.**

✨💖 Likes and other info:

Postcards - Animals, Arizona (lived in Tempe for 9 months and absolutely loved it), Hawaii, pinup, USPS, Sanrio/kawaii, anime, videogames, ones you'd find at the gas station for a couple cents!

Stamps - Love series (any year, but 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 find it difficult to draw things I'm not interested in! Sorry.

✨✅ Items/content I welcome:

• Swearing

• Suggestive themes, nudity, NSFW (ATCs, postcards, stationary, etc.). If you're on the fence about an item just assume I'm a pervert and send it on over!

• Blood, violence, mild gore (ATCs)

• Religious items

✨❌ Dislikes/do not send:

• AI-GENERATED postcards, images, or writing!! Please do NOT send this to me!!! 😓 I've already received a handful PCs and stickers that I don't intend on passing along to anybody. Generative AI truly bothers me.

• Food/snacks. I love eating random shit people give me but it really upsets my parents LOL. So for my sake and their sanity please don't send any...there's less temptation that way. xD

✨💝 Wishlist:

I really don't except anything from this list, I've just seen it on other peoples profiles and want in. :D

• Love 2023 stamps. They aren't on the USPS store anymore! :(

• Valentine's/love themed stickers and ephemera (year-round)

• Stickers that look like stamps

✨📝 Regarding how I run my swaps...

• I'm pretty lenient with past low ratings as long as the swapper (in recent times) has shown steady improvement and there are explanations/reasoning on said ratings. I don't take postmark drama seriously ("The swap deadline was 1/1 but the postmark reads 2 days later!!").

• Sometimes a profile just doesn't look up to par, so they get banned. It hurts to do and I often ask loved ones for a second opinion. I promise I have no personal ill-will toward you!

• I can and will angel the swap if your partner flakes or ends up being a bot (I've had 2 instances of this, it sucked). All I ask for is a bit of patience, especially if it's a craft/ATC swap.

• I'm forgetful at times, which is why I don't usually offer 1 on 1 swaps or sometimes assign partners late. I'm a human, please give me grace.
