Snowflake Challenge 2026 - Day 1

Challenge #1

The Icebreaker Challenge: Introduce yourself. Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.

My name is Bat, although when I play online games I tend to go by Gone. She/Her. Bi with heavy lesbian leanings. Mass multishipper in multiple fandoms because I have no chill. I'm 39, have a son who's my nephew that I've raised since he was 3 weeks old (he's now 14yo!) and help co-parent another nephew (he's 12yo). I also have a cat who is happiest being my shoulder baby, hates pets but tolerates kisses, and is named after my mom at her insistence (despite me being the one who bought him - she also seems to be jealous of him on some level so now she doesn't like him, lol). I work as a Caretaker for my mom who's been reluctantly bedbound for a few years now (we're hoping PT will help her at the very least get up long enough to sit in a wheelchair). I've been in fandom since I was 15 and have no plans to go anywhere. =)

I'm doing this challenge because I had a few rough years recently where I struggled to make content and was in a bit of a depression state so I stayed away from DW for a while. Hated it and want to be active in both again, so I'm hoping this challenge and others help me get back to it on a more regular basis. 8^)

Aww, that's really sweet that you've been raising your nephew for so long. :D And here's hoping your mother feels better soon!
