- -

Are you religious?

-

The only god I worship is Hatsune Miku.

- -

What are your political beliefs? What do you think about [thing]?

-

-See my political opinions. -

- -

I messaged you on [platform] and you didn't respond. Why is that?

-

-I'm not active on many platforms and the ones on which I am active tend to glitch out because I always have weird device setups. -If you need to get in touch with me I highly encourage you to contact me via SMTP at the addresses on the site index. -Unless you opened with something really weird, had I seen your message, I would have responded. -

- -

What genitals have you?

-

I understand neither why one would ask this question nor why they would expect an answer.

- -

What's your sexuality?

-

I'm not currently interested in forming a new romantic relationship.

- -

Why "Trinity"? Don't you go by Deven?

-

I go by both. What do you think the T in DTB stood for?

- -

How do you pronounce "Deven"?

-

-It depends. -I have the katakana translation of my name on the site index. -This says my name is pronounced "DEH vin", which isn't really correct. -It's actually "DEH vehn", which is distinct from the name "Devin". -In practice you're probably better off just saying "DEH vin", which is what I do. -

-

-No, my parents did not curse me with some ungodly unique name; I got it changed (legally) from what it once was long ago. -Send guesses as to my birth-name on a postcard: 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVE; WASHINGTON, DC 20500. -

- -

How do you pronounce "Trinity"?

-

-You leetspeek "tr1n17y". Alternatively you may use the English approximate pronunciation "Trihnihtee". -

- -

How do you pronounce "Blake"?

-

-"BLAYK". -

- -

Did you coin [term]?

-

-I have said maybe once or twice that I made up the discretion between "disc" and "disk" -(that "disc" is for optical and physically impressive media, such as compact discs or phonograph discs, and that "disk" is for magnetic media, such as floppy disks or hard disks; there are however exceptions and edge cases). -That was an exaggeration. -Someone probably came up with that one before me. I just followed what seemed to me to be an implied convention. -

-

-I might have coined the term catfella (a synonym of the conventional nyanbinary on 2020-08-11. -Or someone else might have coined it first. -I can't find it used in the same context elsewhere on-line (I used it when referring to my friend Socks) but maybe we'll never know. -

-

-There are "Devenisms" (and you can conjugate that however you'd like with "Trinity" if you so choose), -which is what I call my spontaneous and novel reformations and compoundings of previously-existing words, -but they're more Seussian than actual terms. I choose words based on how they taste, not how they look. -

- -

Are you {antisemitic,homophobic,racist,sexist,transphobic,xenophobic}?

-

-Not intentionally. -This one tends to be rhetorical, and from people who believe otherwise. -You're welcome to browse my (no doubt terrible) political opinions, which are previously hyperlinked on this page. -
