About the MoY Blog

Mistakes of Youth is a webcomic. I made this blog as a means for people to comment on the site’s new posts, and to collect both updates from my art site and webcomic, along with any other projects that I may be working on. I also, er, blog on it, too.

About me

I am half-Iranian on my dad’s side, and half everything else on my mom’s side. No, seriously. I’m part Native American, part African and part European. This is why I simply prefer to refer to my ethnicity as half-Iranian. But I’m 100% American!

I spell humour, colour and the rest with a “U” because I went to a British school and they ruined me. I do however spell organization with a “Z” and refuse to write program as programme. I do spell grey as grey, though. One of these days I’ll probably decide to write completely in either British English or American English, but for now I will write in a horrible mish-mash of the two!

I am also a man with 2D-Complex. What does that mean?! It means I like cartoon girls over real girls. Yep. Also, while I do like normal girls, I also really like lolita/pettanko characters a lot, too.

I made my name WILDARMSHEERO when I was 13. I was getting an email account on the (now dead) gundamwing.org, since I liked Gundam Wing at that point. At the time I also liked the game Wild Arms 2 and since I was making an account on gundamwing.org I threw Heero at the end. To this day I still haven’t changed my handle. Because I’m lazy, or something. It’s like those guys who are 30 but still have SSJ4GOKU as their AIM handle.
