Henlo!

Hi! My name is Freda! You can also call me Frito or Fredward if you want! I'm just a socially awkward nerd who enjoys anime, manga, video games, warrior cats, and crushing on fictional men! My pronouns are she/her, though I don't care if you use they/them either. For more details, check my General About page!

General About

So, first off, I'm 28 years old and just an awkward nerd in general. I'm not always the best at conversation but I try my best. Feel free to interact and/or message me if you like. I also have a Retrospring if you want to send me anything anonymously. You can find it linked in my Links section!

Name: Freda (pronounced Fred-ah). You can call me Frito as a nickname if you like.
Pronouns: She/Her (cis)
Age: 28
Horoscope: Capricorn (just for fun; I don't put much stock into them)
MBTI: INTP
Asexual and possibly aromantic but I love fictional men.

  • I'm a huge Pokemon fan! I collect the cards, plushies, some other merch, and of course play the games.

  • I enjoy anime, though I'm really behind on recent stuff.

  • I love playing video games, especially Pokemon and Fire Emblem. I want to get into more things though.

  • I'm a fan of the Warrior cats book series.

  • I love animals in general but cats of all kinds are my favorites.

  • I'm currently hyperfixating on Twisted Wonderland but I'm not a huge Disney person outside of that.

  • I'm an artist and went to college for it but I'm currently treating it as a hobby.

  • I enjoy collecting various things related to my fandom interests and sometimes I share those.

  • I grew up with selective mutism and as a result I'm extremely socially awkward even as an adult. I am trying my best though.

  • I strongly suspect I am neurodivergent and possibly either have autism or adhd, maybe even both. I want to get a proper diagnosis though.

  • I've had crushes on fictional (animated) guys since I was very young and I like to yume/self-insert ship with whatever character I'm crushing on at the time. Currently that is Silver from Twisted Wonderland (previously it was Vil). I'm fine with sharing! You can find more information on my Yume page.

  • Outside of yume/oc x canon shipping I don't really care about shipping in fandoms. I view most things platonically unless it's written otherwise.

  • I have a tendency to ramble a lot

  • I think I can be somewhat childish for my age sometimes

  • Sometimes I enjoy dumb memes and shitposts

  • I consider myself a gender non-conforming (cis) woman. I don't care about gender norms. I guess you can say I'm kind of tomboyish for a lack of a better word? Except I'm more of a nerdy tomboy rather than a sporty kind.

But anyways, you can find more information on what anime I've watched, manga I've read, and games I've played on my interests tab.

My Interests

Pokemon has been my main interest since I was around 8. I've been collecting the cards since then, and I also collect plushies and some other merch. I play as many of the games as I can. My first Pokemon game and game overall was Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, and my first main-series game was Pokemon Diamond. I can name all 1,015 Pokemon and counting! I can immediately memorize any new Pokemon they release. Okay, not that impressive to the average person, but I like to own having Pokeyman brain. So far I've played all of these games, including mobile games and free-to-play games I spent a decent amount of time on:

Fire Emblem is my second favorite game series after Pokemon. Awakening was my first Fire Emblem, while Three Houses is my favorite. I've only played the newer games but would like to play the older ones if I get the chance. I also own Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes, Engage, and the digital version of Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light but haven't been able to play them yet. These are the games I've played so far.

I also enjoy the Legend of Zelda series going by what I've played so far and the occasional Mario game. I was obsessed with Animal Crossing New Horizons for a while and loved Okami. I also found the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games really fun even though I'm not really into Naruto anymore. I want to branch out and try more games from different series. When I was younger I would only play Pokemon games, so I haven't played a very diverse amount of games. Anyways, here's everything else I've played at this point.

I'm also a fan of anime. In recent years I've really fallen off with watching anime in favor of playing video games and there are a lot of series I plan to watch eventually. I also occasionally read manga, but usually for anime I already really liked.
Here's some favorites, while for more detailed information you can check my MyAnimeList account. Just ignore the Plan to Watch section because I need to completely redo it and delete most entries. I also don't update it frequently.

I've been reading the Warrior cats book series by Erin Hunter for over 15 years. They aren't all that well-written and are full of problems but I'll still keep reading them because I'm trapped in cat hell now. I've read and own almost all the books in the series aside from a few I need to catch up on. It's a huge series, so reading all of it is a timesink, and they keep putting out more books. Warriors is also the reason cats are my favorite animals.

Other interests

I got into Twisted Wonderland around January 2022 and have been obsessed ever since! It's my current hyperfixation. I love the art and the characters. I've never been a huge Disney fan but it didn't stop me. I decided to get into it because I thought Malleus's design was gorgeous. Eventually Vil ended up becoming my favorite but I still love Malleus too. Even though Vil is my favorite, Diasomnia is still my favorite dorm overall, and I love the gothic aesthetic. That's why I themed my Carrd after it. I really should watch more of the Disney movies the characters are actually based on though... However, out of all the Disney movies I HAVE seen, The Lion King has been my favorite since childhood. Ironically Savanaclaw isn't one of my favorite dorms. Probably because of the sports/jock theme, which isn't so much my thing (though I like all the dorms). I play on both the Japanese and English versions, though my English account is my main. Also, I have spent way too much on merch in a short time...

I kind of enjoy virtual pet sites sometimes I guess, though it's hard for me to keep up with them consistently (darn adhd, probably...plus just having other things to do). I casually play on FlightRising here and there, though I'm not good at keeping my dragons fed. I love the art and creature designs and that's what keeps me there, pretty much. My username is GreedlingYao (made the account during my Fullmetal Alchemist hyperfixation), if you're interested in looking me up on there.

Neopets was one of my major childhood interests, though it was because of the McDonald's plushies. I LOVED collecting them and trading them with a friend at school. I didn't have the internet at home when I was a kid, so I didn't get to actually play online. But I was still obsessed at one point, and even had a subscription to the official magazine. I have an account now, and it isn't much, but I play around with it somewhat. I still own a lot of the plushies though, including my childhood McDonald's collection, which I still hope to complete someday. Some of my favorite Neopets are Lupes, Xweetoks, Hissis, Pteris, Eyries, and Kougras.
