My Bio
Hello! My name is LockedBox, occasionally known as aspiesquared when my usual handle is taken.

I’m an Australian twenty something with too much time on her hands, not much direction in life and a lack of anything resembling “employment.” I also have this thing called Autism spectrum disorder, née Asperger’s syndrome. It’s kind of awesome, and kind of sucks, it depends on the time of day.

I like to write, to draw, and to do nerdy stuff, like play videogames, tabletop games, and read fanfiction. I actually have a degree in art now (though one thing I have learned is that having a degree in art does not make one an artist, very expensive lesson there) and though I draw regularly I fear my art will never be of a salable calibre, so I’m going back for another degree now while I continue my quest to find this mythical treasure called “a job.”

In the meantime, I write stuff. I’m actually trying to write professionally, or at least to self publish. I think I’m not half bad at it, and it’s something I can do alongside my study. I also have a long running piece of original fiction called Mix Beer With Liquor and You Will Get Sicker, though, I have learned a lot about writing craft since I began that particular bit of fiction, both from it and after the fact. It’s not that bad, but, these days I’m actually kind of embarrassed by those first couple of chapters. We live and learn, and I love those characters too much to abandon them without a proper ending.

My main presence online is on AO3, though I have recently created a tumblr blog which can be found at aboxfullofnonsense.tumblr.com Please forgive me as I am very new to the blogging platform and it may take me a while to figure it out. I also have accounts on AFF and deviant art. My Deviantart account is rather inactive since I changed degrees, but I do check on it every now and again, if only to look at other peoples pretty art, so you can still catch me here. My AFF account is more of a legacy these days, it was where I first posted MBWLAYWGS and it’s only fair I finish posting it over there. Either tumblr, or on AO3 are the best places to contact me if you want to chat.

Happy birthday to you! :heart:
Thanks so much for the llama :) haha yay llamas
Hey no problem. With the request system the way it is there's no reason not to.
Haha yeah, I'm a bit new to deviant art, no idea what im doing lol
We're all new at some point. I still have no idea how the darn function on here are supposed to work. I just haven't used any of them.
Hey there! I noticed you scanning in your botanical works at uni today and then all of sudden your work is popping up on my DA :D It is always good finding other NHI students on here. Your work is really great!! Hope the end of year stresses haven't been to harsh on you :)
Hey there yourself :) Thanks so much, it's great to see a few other people around from the course. I've been a bit of a headless chook these past few weeks, but thankfully things aren't too out of hand as of yet. Got two more water colour plates and a pencil piece and I should be good for the year, provided my fieldwork is received well. Can't wait for the break though, and the exhibition next week should be a good chance to unwind (as free beverages tend to do). Best of luck with all of your subjects Hi!
