i'm pepsirosie aka rosie aka jo, nice to meet you! i'm 27, bisexual, and go by she/her :) you may recognize my name from comments online, my main tumblr or my bluesky!

after the continuous degradation of my usual social media spots on tumblr and twitter, i decided to make my own little space on the internet that wasn't constantly on fire 8) and so here we are!

to navigate, click on the tabs to the left and right of this notebook. to go back to neocities, click here!!!

drawing is one of my favorite hobbies, i've been doing it since i was a little girl and have only stopped on rare occassions. you can see some of my doodles by going to my bluesky or art tumblr!

i've always loved music, been listening to all kinds since i was a kid but have mostly leaned towards metal, rock, alternative, jpop/jrock and latin rock.

in the past year i've developed a special interest in both singing and translating songs in a few languages. you can find some of my amateur translations in my blogspot (plan to move those here at one point).

i also love video games! for a long time, i was unable to keep up with the latest consoles and games due to going to college and needing to prioritize spending in other areas. as of 2024 though, I got myself a new 3ds and have been picking up the games i used to play all the way back in 2014 :') it's been a ton of fun! I might write more about it here, not sure!

i like watching vtubers and streamers, occassionally timestamping VODs of their streams! it means i leave a collection of bits i liked or important moments in a video :) i mostly lurk but i've been watching a lot of indie streamers over the years and have amassed quite a few timestamps which i will be sharing once organized!!

one thing i DO want to share is my HOLOSTARS page which you can find HERE!!! if you like laughing your ass off, checking out sick new music, or just hangin with the boys, please give TEMPUS and ARMIS a shot!
