This is Fiolsvinn, welcome to my carrd!
I witnessed a carrd, and saw that they were nifty, and funny, and practical, so I decided to give it a go. Learn more about me, my projects and where to contact me!

I am a furry
My sona is a chonky boof! Swiss shep, with Bernese mountain dog accents. Reference sheet by my friend Tim!
My sona is a reflection of my body goals, I am aiming for a powerlifter/walking hug machine kind of physique!
I am an artist
...or well, as goes my motto, "nerd of all trades, doctor of none". I've dabbled in lots of things, and plan to dabble in a lot more, but so far I've mostly been doing photography and drawing/painting. I haven't been able to stay consistent in that because of my studies and all that, but now I'm well-determined to finally get into it more seriously!
In photography, my favourite subjects tend to be vegetals, and abstract photography. I just stroll about and sometimes, I find things I wanna make pictures of. Landscapes are nice, but funky architectural feats are more likely to catch my eyes, especially if they happen to have details I can make abstraction with! I only have my phone to take pics for now, but I want to get some actual camera one day!
I've been doodling, scribbling and pencillating about for a while, though mostly on class notes margin, the kinda stuff you'd rather burn in a bonfire than keep. Besides sketching with my trusty .3mm Pentel Graphgear mechanical pencil and 2H leads, I've got some niiice Pigma Micron fineliners. I also got back to India ink, and Ecoline ink.My current obsession fixation is doodling ginkgo and monstera leaves.
I am a language addict
It's pretty much my biggest specific interest as an autist. Expect scarcely prompted lectures on ridiculously detailed mechanics of language.
I am a graduate student of linguistics, and my speciality is historic linguistics! Nothing more fun to me than delving on the origin and evolution of languages! This also brings the question of language interaction, how languages influence each other, of course. My speciality is the history of Japanese language, and the interactions within the Sino-Xenic sphere, and between it and Indo-European languages.
Hm? Lost? Thought I was gonna tell you about the bazillion languages I know? Well sit tight bucko cuz now's the time. List of course constantly expanding!
French (native)
English (very fluent, as duly documented I guess)
Japanese (grammar 💯 but I sorely need to chat)
German (okay but really need practicing)
Portuguese (learnt as a kid, no practice)
Spanish (dabbled into it)
Italian (same)
Mandarin (same)
Aynu (reading about it)
if you look under a microscope you'll find traces of Modern Irish, Korean and Arabic.
Of course... dead languages are to be expected here. I can accidentally summon demons in :
Latin (got the high school prize)
Ancient Greek
Most standard variants of Japanese uttered since Heian
Gothic
some Old Norse
As you can imagine... if you're a native speaker of any language I'm not too fluent in, especially Japanese and German right now, by all means feel free to message me! :3
I am a guy with way too many ideas
"Professionally", I'm now doing a master in linguistics, thesis in the cooking, and planning to go on a PhD afterwards
I'm also into programming. I am doing Natural Language Processing stuff with my studies, but I have other projects which I can't disclose quite yet, just gonna say that for now, I toy with Python and C# with Xamarin
I am also interested in book edition! Besides academic writing, I have ideas for a Japanese textbook for self-learners (sort of in progress already) and a cookbook... but I can't say more for now!
I'm pretty passionate about music, and want to learn some, and pick up instruments! I'll follow what occasion comes, but I'm probably gonna turn to the electric guitar first
I'm into all sorts of art and crafts too, mostly Japanese bookbinding now, but I'm also planning to get into soap making, gardening, and maybe macramé!
