About me

edit

Heyo, I'm Willow or TartarusTerror, I mostly lurk here but sometimes I make (albeit very small) edits. I'm a fan of various different things which are mainly outlined in my Userboxes however, for example, I enjoy Homestuck, Coheed and Cambria, Sprain, and the Serial Comma. If you see me out in the wild feel free to say hello or spout some nonsense at me. - TartarusTerror (talk) 17:41, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
