hello! my name is salvator, but some may know me as k49 or cube. i’ve had a few websites in the past but they’ve all been small standalone ones or… never progressed past a few handfuls of updates. i’m keeping things simple with this one, and focusing more on what i know i can do with html — that is to say, a lot of writing! luckily i am not a brief talker. if you didn’t know that already, you certainly will by the end of this…
i’m a visual artist and fiction writer, and i have a handful of other mild skillsets in mediums like musicmaking. i like complicated genre-breaking works made by weirdos with a stilted view of the world. postmodernism is all but tattooed on my knuckles. prog rock inspires my every breath.
i was born with nicheness in mind. i am half palestinian and romanian; one side of my family emigrated from palestine to jordan, and the other side is moldavian. i am a transgender gay man with fashionable metrosexual leanings, to put it simply. maybe i’m somewhat of a diva! i am disabled in a laughable amount of ways, though ME/CFS affects me most and i’m sure it’ll come up every now and then. i’m also schizoid, which both explains everything about me and is explained by everything about me.
i speak english and romanian fluently, speak conversational french and know some arabic and dutch. i lie about knowing spanish and latin. i’m basically italian.
i apparently write like james joyce. i'm most like rarity from my little pony. great combination, right?
