It has an acquired taste though the journey to acquiring it is wonderful if long and strange, quite similar in underlying theme in a way to No Longer Human by Osamu Dasai
User Profile
You can call me Xenia (yea like the Linux mascot - unfortunately I'm not the most creative) or Raven or Vix, I'm not the most decisive either. As the user name suggests I am quite a strange lil fox-thing. I mostly read lit-fic, political/economic theory and Maths or CompSci stuff and the occassional urban fantasy, though really anything may pop up here!
If I say something silly or annoying or you otherwise want to get in touch you can find me at: voidadjacent@proton.me Though I may be a bit slow to respond!
