Hello World!

[HaneulSolstice]

Hi everyone! I'm Haneul Solstice (also J.Solace online, or any of my other aliases—I've got a bunch since my birth name doesn't vibe with my fluctuating soul). I'm hearing, but I've always been drawn to learning about other cultures, and the Deaf community has been one I've dipped in and out of lately (thanks ADHD, focusing on one thing forever is not my strongsuit). I'm a high school junior, obsessed with creative writing (fantasy/YA novels and zines), graphic design (building my "Unknown x Unfinished" brand with Canva), and K-pop (Stray Kids, XDINARY HEROES, XLOVE, KATSEYE). I've volunteered at a martial arts studio over the summer, dream of college scholarships for art/design, and love of feminism, identity exploration, and visual storytelling into everything I make, like my Haneul Solstice art project that's all about genderless fashion and digital aesthetics. I'm aiming to become truly multilingual (starting with ASL feels right), and I think this community is an amazing place to learn respectfully while sharing my creative energy. I'd be honored to hang out here, ask questions, and grow together; any tips for a hyperfocused newbie welcome! :DDD
