Who are dreamstitch?
We all share a 20 year old AFAB (assigned female at birth) body. We live in Australia and grew up in the outback, although are happily now residing in a bigger town on our own. We are currently studying full-time at university. We are autistic and are all very creative; most of us have our own creative outlets that we enjoy (meaning we have a lot of hobbies between us).
The name 'Dreamstitch' was selected by our host as a nod to one thing that kept us going throughout our childhood; fantasy worlds. Whether worlds we made up ourselves or ones we found in books, movies and video games, we spent all the time we could somewhere else. 'Dreamstitching' is a concept from The Dark Crystal (as Thra is one of our absolute dearest fantasy worlds) where gelfling are able to stitch memories into objects, allowing any other gelfling who touches it to experience that memory. We felt that that was reminiscent of the ways in which we share memories between us.
