![hello! my name is ruáin (ro-en), i used to change my writing when i was younger for fun but i’m not able to anymore [:(]
i think i write kinda sloppy, my passion lies in poetry so i wish my penmanship was neater. back when i could change the way i wrote, i started mixing cursive and print after getting good at both. that’s the way i’ve written ever since.
the appeal of my writing style is that it’s fast as well as stylized. nothing too flashy, but recognizable for sure. i like to think i use the best parts of cursive and print without it being too distracting. y, for example
y [standard y with a half loop tail that curves up]
= feels incomplete to me, plain
y [cursive-esque y with a tail that completes the loop and crosses the body of the letter to the opposite side]
same thing with g.
[same as Y]
my letters tend to flow into each other, which sort of ties a word together letter by letter.
thx 4 reading!

![I stopped using manuscript when I was 14~15. I don't particularly enjoy the shape of my letters more (I love manuscript and people that use it), it's just more intuitive for me and by this time of my life (I'm 21) I just feel like I belong here :) I've written so much!!
When I'm calm/well-rested/comfortable, it tends to look like this. When I'm writting [wow, with two t's] fast fast fast and I'm stressed or tired, it resembles [with two extra letters] this look (kinda).
