He grew up on the East Coast of the United States and originally enjoyed the carefree life of a gay college student and anime appreciator. A series of setbacks in his personal life led him to seek solace in cosplaying, and by the middle of 2009 he had established a pattern of behaviour whereby he would adopt the attributes of the characters he cosplayed, in an attempt to bring meaning and motivation into his directionless life. Dressing up as Sakura from Naruto led him to realise he was in fact a woman, and China from Axis Powers Hetalia turned him into a Communist overnight. This all took place against a backdrop of constant conflict with his mother, whom he lived with and occasionally beat up. By 2011 he was finding his domestic situation intolerable, and left home to stay with a succession of leftists and LGBT persons in Philadelphia, each time getting thrown out when they got sick of him. Having exhausted all of his support on the East Coast, he went West in 2012. Unfortunately this did not lead to an improvement in his situation, as his new acquaintances were no more tolerant of him than the ones he left behind. Today he divides his time between Oregon and California, sleeping under a wide variety of bridges. Incurably narcissistic, ADF has written about himself at length, allowing the conscientious reader to build up a detailed, albeit heavily biased, picture of his life. Below is the Lolcow Wiki's attempt to disentangle the truth of ADF's life from his self-mythologising.
