"What is this?"

Total Collapse is simply an outlet for whatever may be on my mind, usually music-related. But on the off-chance that I feel like writing something—anything, this is where it'll all go. While I never had any plans for this besides being a place to gush about whatever music I may be liking at the moment, I've exercised the possibility of this being something more than that. I can't say I know what I'd want this place to be for sure, but I believe things flourish best when left to grow naturally, so I'd prefer to take it one step at a time.

"Who are you?"

Anyone who's known me off the likes of Twitter knows me as LenticCloudline, but you can just call me Zeke if that rolls off the tongue better (which it should). My interests primarily lie in music (hardcore in particular), travelling, many aspects of psychology, and anything that falls under the umbrella of "just fucking around." Oh, and men. I love men (you too, if you're reading this :3). To name a few, some of my favorite bands/artists are Converge, Kid Cudi, Nine Inch Nails, Mac Miller, SeeYouSpaceCowboy..., Thursday, and Vein.fm, all off the top of my head, in no particular order. I've also been somewhat a part of the furry community for the past seven years, merely attending MFF '22 and AnthroCon '23 since then. While I may not be as deep into it as many of my peers, it's helped me find a belonging and it's how I've met some of my lifelong closest friends to this very day, but that's a story for another time. In the grander picture, I'm merely a small dog making my way in a large(-ish) city in my newfound home of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by way of the Oregon Coast as of last year. In the end, I strive to simply live as fulfilling of a life as I possibly can, taking things one day at a time and making cherished memories with equally cherished friends along the way. Not very ambitious, I know, but cut me some slack here.

"How can I talk to you?"

(WIP until I can figure out how to not make this look like jank)
