Anything else you'd like us to know? My journal is friends only. TERFs and antis need not apply.

Hi! We share Word of Honor, Leverage (I haven't seen Redemption), Sailor Moon. Do you want to be friends?

Sure!

I highly rec Redemption, by the way.

I've added you back. :-)

Just wanted to say thank you for doing this for the folks coming in... and it's been a while since I saw a friending meme.

You're welcome! Haven't done a friending meme in a while either but if we're returning to old-style journalling, might as well have one of these again :D

I love all of your interests! Friending.

I've friended you back :D

*waves* Thank you for hosting the meme!

We don't share many fandoms (apart from maybe Sailor Moon), but since you're also from Germany, and a queer person around my age: maybe you're interested in friending each other? You were probably receiving a notification about it, but here is my comment. :D

Friended you back! Can't hurt to know more queer people in Germany :)

Hello, may I joy the ride? :)

The more the merrier :)

My idea precisely. Sweet!

You've just reminded me that I really need to watch more Bollywood and see if I can get access to the second season of Leverage Redemption!

YOMIKO!!!

Sorry, I got excited. I don't normally meet people who've seen Read or Die. I desperately need to rewatch it, actually XD

The second season of Redemption only just started airing, so you haven't missed too much yet. (Having said that, they did start off with 3 episodes but it's not like the whole season's already out.)

Yes! I also need to rewatch Read or Die because it's fun and I have feelings about paper magic and books. Yomiko Readman brings me great joy :D

Thanks for hosting this meme! I'm seeing a few things we have in common, like Leverage and keeping a toe in Hockey RPF - want to friend?

Yeah sure!

I missed the Leverage bit! I’d love to be friends just on that and being 30s European with a hockey RPF (reader, in my case) bg.

Sure!

Thank you for doing this friending meme!

you're welcome!

Hii we have WOH & Sailor Moon in common, and I'm always looking for more personal journals as I like to get to know people! My comment is here if you'd like to take a look.

Can't go wrong with more WoH and Sailor Moon people!

Anything else you'd like us to know? My journal's almost entirely friends-only. No TERFs, no Tories.

you sound wonderful, would you like to marry me?

Sap.

I'd apologise for hitting on my wife in your comments but we know it would be insincere

Don't ever change.

🥰❤️🥰

We share a lot of interests! I’d love to be friends.

Absolutely! Added you back :D

would love to read about folklore/hellenism/vampire chronicles/dance things!

Added you! :D

fairytales, folklore, mythology, horror, the gothic, the sea, space, 80s metal, classic Hollywood, Hellenic paganism, baking, dance, video games, writing, knitting - all of the above - except I'm pants at kntting, and even worse at dancing. Can we still be friends?

Absolutely :D

Marvellous! Well met :)

Star Trek and Vampire Chronicles fan! Friends? I don't know what a TERF is but I promise I'm not a Tory.

Sure!

I’m drive-by interested in a lot of those things! And I absolutely LOVE Hades (and love Stranger Things, but no capitals there). Will probably play Mass Effect if the legendary edition ever goes down in price by like, a lot. Friends?

Absolutely! (For what it's worth re: Mass Effect, I don't think Legendary is worth the money and it might work out cheaper to find secondhand copies of the originals and just get the DLCs you're interested in!)

Oh I don’t think it’s worth it either, I played some of ME2 on a friend’s laptop a while back (friend from a different country, we met up for a weekend only) and it looked just fine. That’s why I’m happy to wait for as long as it takes. It sucks that the PS4 store doesn’t have the old games but all my money at the moment is on paypal. I may take a look tomorrow since I’m going near a secondhand store though, if it’s super cheap (like, 3 eur or less) it could work.

Oooh, we have a lot of common interests! I'd love to have another person to talk horror and metal with. I don't knit, but I crochet, and I love LOTR, Star Wars, Vampire Chronicles, and Stranger things. Can I add you?

Definitely!

We share a lot of interests! I especially love folklore/mythology and the history of horror.

Added you! :)

Thanks!

When I was putting my own intro together, I was glad I had yours to refer to, since we seem like we have a bunch over overlapping interests. I'm not super personal on my blog, so you're welcome to follow without friending, but I would definitely like to have more people to chat about folklore, space, and knitting!

Added you back! :D

I'm so, so very here for a lot of your interests as well as Vampire Chronicles.

(Also a friend of mine is giving me a crash course in the Silmarillion which has been Quite A Thing.)

edit: omg, I just realized who you are and now understand why we share so many interests. XD Hi there, it's a Vale!

Edited 2022-11-30 03:29 (UTC)

omg hi!! Of course I'll add you :D

Hey, we have several interests in common and you sound great! My comment is here if you'd like to take a look.

Anything else you'd like us to know? I am friendly and like meeting new people! Some of my posts are locked but what's public should give a sense of what my journal is like.

All of this sounds like my jam. Friending!

Yay! I added you back. :)

Adding you!

Nice to meet you!

You sound like we could get along, adding you now!

Likewise!

Oh, we're geographically close and you've already got reviews of books I want to read up on your blog - friending! Most of my posts are public so you're welcome to follow without granting access as you prefer.

Pronouns: she/he/they
Age bracket: 30s
Geographical area: UK (currently)
Interests: fandom in a broad sense. bookbinding (fanbinding!) and other crafts, like knitting, drawing, painting. I read a lot and I don't write as much as I want to as I find it hard to balance all my interests with what free time I have.
Fandoms: at the moment! I'm back in the depths of Daredevil (tv series as main canon) and Leverage. Cobra Kai, BBC Shetland, Interview With the Vampire (will I reread the books? if I had time...), OFMD, idek what else. I never really leave fandoms but I don't always write for them even when I'm neck deep in them. I doubt I'll ever write for OFMD for example but I'm still unhinged about it. Same for Supernatural. I like a very wide variety of things and I zero in on the queerest of them.
What type of posts can we expect in your journal? personal posts! my few public posts are typically fandom oriented and my locked posts are all personal. I post maybe 1-2 a week about what's going on in my life. there's quite a lot of locked fandom posts as well because I sometimes put everything in one update and if there's personal stuff it goes under lock.
Anything else you'd like us to know? due to aforementioned friends lock I like mutual access & subscriptions. I'm not great at commenting on other people's entries (if I've got nothing to say I don't want to force the small talk) and I don't expect everyone (or anyone at all) to comment on mine either. I quite like DW for how it allows us to just quietly follow what's going on in each other's lives.

Interview with the Vampire, you say? 👀

indeed 👀 I have mainly been discussing it with my friends in group chats but rest assured I am Extremely Normal (which is to say: unhinged) about it. I'm considering instead of rereading from the beginning, just to pick up where I left off or maybe just read the prince lestat trilogy. I haven't read ALL the books you see...

this is the correct way to be about IwtV :D ooh yesss rereads are always fun! I really like the new trilogy. well... the second one is a TRIP but it's worth it for the third one. if you've read the first three you've read the best tbh. please don't subject yourself to blood canticle lmao.

I have! I have read up to and including the vampire Armand, after which I stopped because I hated that book so much. (I wrote a scathing review of it on goodreads and to date it is the most popular review I ever wrote? it was also hilarious to see how many more likes I suddenly got on that review after IWTV started airing...) and I also did read Pandora but that was some years before I marathoned the first 6 books, which happened one summer like 10 years ago. I have no memory of it at all, I only picked it up from the library because a) I'd read the Mayfair Witches trilogy as a teenager and recognised the author name (at that point in time I did not realise the IWTV film was both based on a book and that Annie Rice was the author) and b) it was one of few English language books in my local library at the time, which was a small library in a small town in Finland that I didn't expect to have an English language section to begin with).

anyway! I am curious about the Prince Lestat trilogy IF ONLY because it sounds just as off the wall bonkers as the entire rest of the series. I hear Louis and Lestat got married in book 2? I am here for that particular trash fire. (I'm vaguely remembering, was it in Memnoch the Devil, where Lestat was in a coma and the other vampires were like 'he's your husband, you deal with him' about it to Louis. and in Body Thief they'd had a spat and Lestat set fire to Louis' house BUT FIRST HE RESCUED ALL THE PAINTINGS and I laugh about it every time I remember it.)

I am also unhinged re: IwtV. Subscribed!

YESSS MORE OF US

Here for the crafts and books! Friending!

Ooh bookbinding! I forgot to include that in my list of interests. I will send you a follow request.

yay another bookbinder :D

I haven't done it much recently but it's so much fun :D I will be doing a new book soon though because my wife asked for one.

it is, I love how creative it is. are you doing a specific book or a notebook or something else? I've mostly done fanfics and I have about 20 fics lined up to bind in the near future... I suspect I'll never ever be 'done' binding fanfics, I'm always discovering new ones I want a copy of.

This one will be a notebook for her to write in. She wants to write in a couple renditions of Puss in Boots that we came up with for our d&d game. Most of what I've bound are notebooks or sketch books.

" I never really leave fandoms but I don't always write for them even when I'm neck deep in them. I doubt I'll ever write for OFMD for example but I'm still unhinged about it. Same for Supernatural. I like a very wide variety of things and I zero in on the queerest of them."

Wow, you've absolutely nailed the way I engage with fandoms - I love 'em and never leave 'em. Friending!

so often 'being in fandom' is defined by fandom activity - like writing fic or making fanart or whatnot, something visible. but for me often a lot of fandom activity is "just" talking about it with friends :'''D

Hey, we have some interests in common! My comment is here if you'd like to take a look.

friending!

We have Daredevil and daily life posting in common - add me if you want!

will do! seems like we have a fair few things in common.

Fandoms: Vampire Chronicles, Black Sails, Legend of Zelda, Stranger Things, Mass Effect, SGA, Star Wars, Star Trek, Our Flag Means Death, The Vampire Diaries and more.
What type of posts can we expect in your journal? I need to get back in the swing of blogging, I've been so used to just dumping thoughts on twitter! Probably mostly real life updates, some fandom or media discussion, I might post about some of our D&D games too. I, in theory, am a vidder but it's been a few years. I'd like to get back into though. All my vids are up on my journal/AO3.
Anything else you'd like us to know? My wife and I have a podcast which we were promoting on twitter but uhhh... might as well plug it here too? No TERFs, No Tories.

Good day, sir! I lately coloured the naked ladies on your fridge, and in case you and your wife don't mind sharing online friends I'd be glad to join circles. :D

We're at least sharing interests in Black Sails, OFMD and Tory hate, haha, although I'm not from the UK. My comment post is here if you want to check!

Oh, delightful! I'm always happy to meet friends of Ria's :D Added!

Subscribing for Star Trek, VC and Vampire Diaries.

*thumbs up* subscribed back!

you had me at “no terfs, no tories”, which may be the last thing in your post but is the first thing I read. Stranger Things, used to love TVD, and we share video games, travel and D&D as specific interests. Friends?

Excellent! Added :D

Zelda, you say? Heck yes!

I literally have a triforce tattooed on my hand, so hell yes Zelda :D

Oh, we have some great things in common! Subscribing!

Awesome! Subscribed back :D

Vampire Diaries, I miss that show! I also see a few other shared in your profile, and absolutely no fan of the Tory party, want to give it a go?

>>need to get back in the swing of blogging,<<

You might find some inspiration in Recurring Posts. Lots of bloggers pick one or a few favorite topics to visit regularly. That makes it easy to maintain activity without running up your workload.

>>I've been so used to just dumping thoughts on twitter!<<

People do it here on Dreamwidth too, it's just not the majority trend. I made a post about Tweet-like Tidbits on Dreamwidth over on

twitter_refugees for folks who wish to continue making and consuming that type of content here. Not everything has to be a page-long post. It's all fine. :D

hi! sounds good to me, subscribed :D

Age bracket: Upper 40s
Geographical area: Almost the midwest United States
Interests: multi-fannish fandom person, writing, music, cats, attempting to garden (come spring)
Fandoms: Current - Legend of Drizzt (early books) with a mix of Forgotten Realms canon pulled into it. Past: Star Wars, DC Comics, Transformers and many others.
What type of posts can we expect in your journal? I have a daily check in with steps walked and words written that also tracks my headaches. Fic announcements (these can be daily when I am writing a lot), general life updates from time to time.
Anything else you'd like us to know? I try, very hard, to comment on posts on a semi-regular basis. Sometimes life overwhelms me (see this past month) and both my comments and writing fall off. I have gone access only (see again this last month), but grant access relatively easily once I know you're not tied back to any of the reasons I did lock down.

You added me on tumblr recently (pollychurchill, just added you back) so now I see you here I figure, wanna add each other?

hee, I was being sneaky (my tumblr dash badly needed new things) but YES!

Haha, I mostly noticed because your username sounded familiar, I think I must have read some of your fic way back in the day. Plus I came back to tumblr like two years ago and have been a lurker the whole time, so any time someone who is not a porn bot adds me I’m like, well, we gotta have SOMETHING in common, surely, even if it’s just running or previously having run in similar fandom circles. :)

Oh, you had me at "try very hard to comment on posts" - and it seems like my current fandoms overlap with some of your past ones, so I suspect we'll have some overlap. Friending!

I'm sure we do have some! Hi, nice to meet you!

Hey, I recognise your ao3 handle - pretty sure I’ve read and enjoyed some of your Star Wars fic! And I relate hard to struggling to keep my comments regular. I’m usually more or less steady at “semi-regular” levels, but then RL sets the pendulum swinging wildly between total silence and guilty catch-up binges.

Anyway, cool if I friend you? We share some interests (writing, music, gardening) along with our past fannish overlap, and it would be nice to chat more during our respective regular commenting phases. :)

Hi, and nice to meet you! Glad to have new folks around!

Pronouns: she/her
Age bracket: 40s
Geographical area: US
Interests: fandom, progressive politics
Fandoms: Ghosts (US/CBS) (this is my main fandom interest right now), Critical Role, various Star Treks, Jeeves & Wooster, Farscape, MCU, the old Whedon shows (it sucks that he's a jerk)
What type of posts can we expect in your journal? I tend not to post about my personal life (I used to under lock, maybe I will again, we'll see). Mainly Ghosts and stuff about fandom in general. Also links to any fanfic I'm writing.
Anything else you'd like us to know? Basic blanket NSFW warning on everything I post.

I love Ghosts (both versions) and Critical Role, and a quick look at your journal tells me you might help me understand Mastodon by osmosis, which would be quite helpful. Friends?

For sure! I'm still a Mastodon newbie but I'm happy to help any way I can!

OMG GHOSTS. Which are your favorite characters in the US version?

It just sounds so incredibly complicated, with different words for everything. I will go if and when people I love move to it exclusively and no sooner, I suspect, lmao, but it would be good to get a grasp on it before I need to use it.

Much like with the BBC version the main couple is excellent, though unlike the BBC version I have to admit I like Sam a little more than I like Jay, haha. I think Alberta, Thorfinn and Trevor are probably my favorite ghosts, but I love them all. I want Isaac to be happy! I also love that they adapted characters to US history, which seems like a given but you never know with these things, so I love that they have Sass and that Susan’s backstory has Patty Hearst vibes. I kinda wish they’d gone more off piste with some of the BBC counterpart ghosts but it’s still just real fun.

Okay! So I am a n00b and I apologize in advance (and to any actual tech-savvy people reading) if any/all of this is wrong:

ETA: Oh shit, that cut tag didn't work! Let me post this explainer to my own DW and link it.

ETA2: Here you go!

re: Ghosts

Yayyyy! Trevor is my favorite but I love all of them. I also want Isaac to be happy! That is a good point re: Patty Hearst vibes with Flower.

YAY nice to meet you!

Edited 2022-11-20 20:36 (UTC)

Oh yeah, cuts don’t work in comments, but they get collapsed if they go this far so it’s okay! Thank you though!

Glad to find another Trevor fan! Have you seen the BBC version at all? I think Trevor is the one ghost where I like the CBS version better, haha.

but they get collapsed if they go this far so it’s okay!

Really! I did not know that!

Glad to find another Trevor fan! Have you seen the BBC version at all? I think Trevor is the one ghost where I like the CBS version better, haha.

I LOVE TREVOR SO MUCH IT'S BECOMING A PROBLEM. Yes, I've seen s1 and some of s2 of the BBC one. It's really well-done but for whatever reason, it didn't become a mind-devouring obsession for me like the CBS one, I have no idea why. I do like Julian! But he and Trevor are very different. Julian's a lot more openly and happily evil, whereas Trevor goes back and forth. (Although Trevor's stint at evil this season was so much fun for me.) Who do you like in the BBC one?

Trevor is a delight! On BBC I absolutely adore the main couple, and then Kitty and the Captain a lot. I also really enjoy Thomas despite his ridiculousness, his backstory (I think that was S2? I’ve not finished S3 yet so presumably not a spoiler to say) was so sad. Julian’s fun, but like, he’s too much like some rl politicians for me to give a shit, you know? Trevor is young enough and indefinite enough where you’re like, maybe he could learn and be a good person! He really feels like his own character in a way I struggle with for Pete and Isaac.

Aw, I also like Kitty and the Captain! And Thomas. Lol, Pat and Thomas trying to do their ghost radio show. I haven't hit Thomas' backstory yet! I'm glad Isaac gets to be happier than the poor Captain. The BBC one is definitely less cuddly and a bit sadder in a lot of ways. There's a lot of horror and sadness hiding in the CBS one but it rarely ever becomes text.

He really feels like his own character in a way I struggle with for Pete and Isaac.

You mean as in more distinct from their BBC counterparts, or in a different way?

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense! The reason I haven’t finished S3 of the BBC series is very much… a certain plotline that made uncomfy. Not a bad one, just, mistaken identity kind of thing.

Isaac and Pete feel like watered-down versions of the BBC counterparts in some ways, which I know is shitty to say but something about them feels more stereotypical and less real? I still like them a lot, but it’s difficult for me to judge them on their own merit.

Interesting, I wonder if I'll figure out which plotline it is once I finally get there.

Wow, I definitely do not feel that way about Isaac and Pete (especially Isaac -- Pete is clearly 10000% character they changed the least), but all this is subjective so that's totally understandable.

It's great to find other people to discuss the show with. :D

What type of posts can we expect in your journal? I talk about writing projects, stuff I watch, and my very boring, hobbity life. You will hear about cats a lot, because my life revolves around cats. I have PTSD and occasionally when I vent I use cuts and trigger warnings. I sometimes natter about LGBT stuff. I make less political commentary than I used to because the news has been stressing me out too much this year, but sometimes I'm good for a political rant. Most of my journal is behind access lock for reasons and I only allow comments on my journal from my access list [again, for reasons]. I do post at least a few times a week.
Anything else you'd like us to know? I'm a trans man, queer [I like dudes and enbies], ace-spec, multiply-disabled and chronically ill, neurodivergent [ADHD and autism]. I'm shy and socially awkward, but I like making new friends. As a general heads-up, while I don't post my fic on my journal, I do write dirtybadwrong smut and would prefer antis steer clear.

Hello, I would like to be your friend!! We share some fandoms (Trek, Sailor Moon), and we're both trans boys :)

I just added you! Welcome aboard!

Whoop whoop!

LOL @ "Space Karen."

Enby here (she/they), I also love music and crafty things--crocheting and baking for me. Fandom-wise we have Tolkien in common, but I have lots of other fandoms. Also--is your username a pun on Van Halen? Because if you're a fan of metal, we probably have even more in common!

Hi! I am also queer, crafty and into Star Trek! Hello!

Hi! I added you!

I am also an adhd autistic trans person (she/they) who likes crafting and cats!

Yay, I added you!

Always down for cats! Want to give it a go?

Sure, I added you!

Hello! I am very fond of writing, cottagecore and crafts, also Tolkien. I am ace-spec and enby and also have fibromyalgia, so I feel like we have stuff in common and would like to friend you if its okay?

I have added you! Welcome aboard!

Thank you!

You're welcome! Oh, obviously it's OK to add me back. I should have said that.

Not to be a pain in the butt, but I don't know if you forgot to add me after you asked, or if you decided against adding me?

No, I'm just often away from the computer, so there can be long gaps before I get round to doing things. Sorry to alarm you :)

I appreciate your efforts with this meme, and I have boosted the signal.

Aw, thanks!

Hi! I’ve been looking for more D20 & CR & D&D (how many ampersands can you use in under 20 characters challenge) and I adore Leverage — friends?

:D Friends!

Hi! We have a lot in common including D&D and Tales games.

May I friend you?

Absolutely!

Leverage!!! I'm a D&D newbie, I just joined a campaign (we're having session 0 in January) so I'm currently working out what my character will be. friends? eta: forgot the link to my post: https://xancredible.dreamwidth.org/779278.html?thread=3882766#cmt3882766

Edited 2022-11-20 20:41 (UTC)

Ahhh first campaign, so exciting! :D

Definitely friends.

I am very excited! we are doing something called Curse of Strahd, that I'd never heard of before now.

Hey!! We have a lot in common, such as the love for birds, D&D (though I haven't played in a while), comic books, etc.! My jorunal is similar in the sense that most of my posts are a blend of special interests and RL. Feel free to take a look and maybe follow back! :)

Fantastic! Nice to meet you :D

Hi! I'm also into Star Wars and Leverage- I haven't had too much luck getting a D&D group together but I have had some fun with other TTRPG systems for one shots. Friending!

*enthusiastic thumbs up!*

I'm always on the lookout for other FF fans, and I'm interested in reading about D&D too (as something I've been casually intrigued by for a long time, but have never had a go at myself). Subscribing, hope that is ok!

For sure! :D

It sounds like we have a lot in common, but the most salient point for you may be that I tend to post daily about birdfeeding / wildlife / gardening activity. I am in central Illinois USA so that's likely a different set of critters than what you see out your window. I invite you to drop by my blog and see if it appeals.

Also

allbingo has a nature theme slated for December, if you're into creative bingo.

Hi, I'm in the Midwest, I'm a trans guy, I like X-Files, I am very much not a conservative. My post on the friending meme is here. May I add you?

Yes!! You sound awesome!

I'm from the Midwest and love Grey's, Law & order: SVU, & Iron Man. Want to be friends?

We don't have many fandoms in common, but I am definitely a person who will read mythology-based fics (or just stuff about various myths in general). I am neither a TERF nor a tory, if you're interested in adding back.

I am so very down with some of your interests! LGBTQ+ and kink related things are always of interest as well as horror things and writing. I also definitely found the X-Files to be part of the things I consumed a lot at certain points of my life and have been meaning to do a highlights re-watch.

Edited 2022-11-20 02:38 (UTC)

I would love to be a fly on a wall where an engineering student plays orchestral music! I never wrote for Hannibal but dearly love it (I am myself a surgeon, though my forensics friends laugh at the show's forensics).

Howdy! You're an engineering student now! I remember when you were thinking about school. Very cool to read what you're up to. Do you know where you're migrating to after Hannibal?

Ahhh hello! Yeah, things have... snowballed :P I do not have another fandom lined up... though I do have an original-ish novel idea that could probably be The Next Thing, if I had enough time for a Next Thing :( Taking fewer classes next semester, so maybe...

Hope you don't mind if I subscribe! Your posts look interesting, and as an amateur orchestral musician I'd love to read posts about that line of work.

>> i like villains, tilted power dynamics in media, <<

I love villains who are right. Their methods may be fucked up, but their core concern is valid. My favorites include Magneto and Poison Ivy.

So when I create villains for my settings, I tend to go for complex ones who have a goal that makes actual sense. I feel that it makes them more interesting characters. Based on reader feedback, the most popular one in this regard is probably Dr. Infanta. Whether she's a supervillain or a superhera depends on who you ask.

Who are some of your favorite villains?

>>musings on art/(censorship of),<<

I saw a reference to the Three Laws of Fandom in a new friend's blog, looked it up, and posted about it to start a discussion about freedom of expression and the importance of not being a dick because censorship makes fandom shrink. Ensuing conversations have been interesting.

Sure! I think I remember you from a GW comm I used to help mod. Nice to meet you (again)!

Nice to meet you again too!

I kinda want to add you just for surviving the Great GeoCities Crash. I had mine in the early 2000s, but no one ever talks about it anymore. That's where I learned HTML!

That's where I learned HTML!

Same, same~ I even had a computer course in uni a few years later where our final project was to make a Geocities site. (I've been sorely tempted by Neocities but just haven't had the time or energy to sit down and do it.)

Oh wow, I keep forgetting NeoCities is a thing. Mostly I just use it to add flair to my DW entries nowadays.

Adding you here and on tumblr.

I think you're right! I've never really seen anyone else talk about it on here. Awesome, I'll add you back!

Hey, we have some interests in common and I'm super interested in adding fellow crafters c: My comment is here if you'd like to take a look.

Hi, it's nice to meet you! I love talking to fellow crafters! What is your favorite Star Trek? And what sort of horror do you like, books or movies, etc?

TNG will always hold a special nostalgia spot for me, but my favorite Star Trek is DS9! & I like both horror books and movies, although I'm a little pickier about movies, lol

DS9 is my favorite too, though I do enjoy all of the old ones. I still haven't seen the newer ones though! One of these days I will get around to subscribing to the streaming service that has them. I read a horror book earlier this year (The Luminous Dead) that I keep thinking about even months later. It was the first book that's really creeped me out in a long time (and its sapphic so that gets points in my book haha). I have another book by the author that I need to read.

Ted Lasso! Fjords! Sounds really cool.

Tumblr made me look into Ted/Trent fanfiction and that was it :D

Hey, we have no fandoms in common, but it's so nice meeting a fellow introvert introvert and enjoying the nature. Also, art museums and journalling are fun. :D

I remember you :D Nice to have you around here as well.

Hello! Fellow introvert, reader and knitter. I liked the intro post on your journal, would love to read more.

Hello :) You're welcome in, I've added you. Nice to meet you!

Jackson rewatch sounds fun! I enjoyed Rings of Power too, and have been enjoying rereading the novels since it got me on a bit of a kick.

Mind if I friend you? Aside from fandoms in common, I love seeing photography on my reading page, and I’d be interested in reading more about your hobbies as well.

Ooo, I'm a tarot and oracle deck lover (although I don't do readings nearly enough). Do you use any decks in particular?

Hello, nice to meet you! I have a small collection of decks and some of my most-loved ones are the Hush Tarot, the Dreaming Way Tarot, and the Sun and Moon Tarot. Among oracle decks, I like decks with age diversity (especially aging women) and decks with artwork by Jasmine Beckett-Griffith. Right now I'm working with the Into the Lonely Woods Oracle! I don't buy indie decks anymore because of my geographical location, but there are plenty of wonderful decks printed mass market too.

I want to buy the mass market version of the Fyodor Pavlov Tarot and the Heavenly Bloom Tarot sometime. On the whole I like working with tarot better than oracle, because it helps me to have that structure.

Oooh, I hadn't come across a lot of those decks, they're so lovely. Definitely understand not being able to get indie decks, although it's probably worse for you. Many times, I've had to consider the potential extra cost of shipping and customs fees from the US on top of the (fair) expense that indie decks usually are.

The Fyodor Pavlov Tarot, though, I've definitely had my eyes on! *_* I love his art style a lot.

The structure of tarot is one of the coolest things about it - and well-established oracle systems, I suppose, like Lenormand, but I only have one Lenormand deck and I haven't used it yet. Sometimes I find the symbology of my oracle decks easier to grasp intuitively, depending, but tarot is good for more complicated things.

The Fyodor Pavlov Tarot, though, I've definitely had my eyes on! *_* I love his art style a lot.

Yes, it's lovely! I'm glad there's a mass market version because it would've been inaccessible to me otherwise.

I haven't worked with Lenormand either. I have a deck and a book. And I keep meaning to learn... I'll get to it someday xD

The symbology of tarot is so exciting, too. Like, the visual metaphors are dramatic in a way Lenormand isn't.

I like oracle decks better for daily draws instead of drawing for a question. They work well for loose journalling inspiration. Or as clarifiers! Some of them combine well with tarot to elucidate meanings.

Like, the visual metaphors are dramatic in a way Lenormand isn't.

That's exactly it! And the intended structure of Lenormand readings is so different, since I get the impression that the usual reading style is almost as a literal sentence, whereas tarot is a lot more free-flowing even if you're following the guidebook religiously. Some of my oracle decks lean more Lenormand in simplicity, and some are more like tarot.

Oh, hello! I am a tarot/oracle person as well and also do the original fiction thing. Fairytales and myths are always tasty too.

Hello, nice to meet you! I'm happy you're interested in those things too. Added you back :D

Hello! I love HZD, and despite having played it and HFW, I will willingly watch someone else's playthrough because I am such a nerd for that game. You seem like a chill and interesting person so friends?

absolutely!

Oooo, Dimension 20! I'm bad at actual plays, so it's taken me a while to get through them, but I've enjoyed what I've watched of A Starstruck Odyssey and A Court of Fey and Flowers, and I'm very excited for the upcoming new season and Emily Axford's take on spooky Red Riding Hood. I also really enjoy a lot of other Dropout content.

I haven't had a chance to start the latest season of Game Changer, but it's such a joyful show. I like some other Dropout shows too.

I can only do actual plays on video, and usually on 1.75x speed, so D20, while my gateway drug (Fantasy High S1 is on youtube), is a struggle sometimes because dropout doesn’t let me change the playback speed, haha.

Which shows do you like? I watch Um Actually kinda religiously, ngl, but Dirty Laundry didn’t quite match my expectations. Paranoia was awesome, but I’m not watching that again, lmao.

edit: also I added you! and also I am also very excited about Emily’s Red but ngl I am SUPER excited about Siobhan’s Aurora — I haven’t super loved a Siobhan character since Adaine in Fantasy High, but Adaine is my favorite DND actual play character of all time, soooo.

Edited 2022-11-28 19:15 (UTC)

Oh, I relate to that. I do like how well-subtitled Dropout stuff is, it makes life so much easier for me. I think my gateway drug to Dimension 20 was Escape from the Bloodkeep, although I never got around to finishing it - I'm half-into Critical Role (ie. I want to be into it but there's just So Much), and they made the sensible SEO decision of having Matt Mercer in the thumbnail for the first episode, IIRC. But I did watch all of Misfits and Magic! That one was fun!

(I'm seeing an option to change playback speed on my Dropout, but maybe it's a browser/app-specific thing. 😔)

I haven't watched much of Um, Actually; I have a terrible tendency to only watch episodes when someone I know is in them. Dirty Laundry also didn't quite click with me, but I still had fun - I feel like "people lie about ridiculous anecdotes from their lives" is a format that's hard to go too wrong with, and I liked Grant's drinks interludes.

Paranoia isn't one I'd heard of before! It sounds fun from the description, although I think it's 50/50 on whether I'd end up with second hand embarrassment from it. I'll definitely give it a go.

I'm pretty basic, to be honest. I really enjoy Game Changer and I liked Make Some Noise too. I've also had a lot of fun with some of the episodes of Breaking News, there are some of those that get me in hysterics every time.

My excitement for Emily's Red is one part excitement for Emily and one part a life-long enjoyment of creepy takes on Red Riding Hood. Siobhan's Aurora is also very interesting to me. I also always enjoy Zac's characters, so I feel like his Puss in Boots is going to be fun. I'm curious about what the overall tone of the season is going to be - obviously they're leaning horror, but I wonder what the balance with comedy will be.

Loving this comment! Bloodkeep was so much fun for me despite my lack of interest in LOTR, I just thought it was so much fun, and the lava mog! and Leiland and Lilith! and Efink becom— oh shit spoiler! What a fun fun ride.

M&M was cute, loved Jammer but haven’t seen the special yet. Critical Role got me via Mighty Nein on 1.75x and it took a YEAR so…

Where do you do Dropout? I’ve got it on ipad.

I like Breaking News but I like the Grant episode best, not because I like second-hand embarrassment but because he seems like he has no shame? I don’t know, I just find it really interesting, and I was hoping Dirty Laundry would be the same vibe where I’d find all the secrets interesting but unfortunately most of them are meh.

I hope Zac’s cat is also good! I love Zac, Ricky was one of my favorites in TUC, and then like, Lou’s Kingston and Amethar and Murph’s Riz and Theobald and Kugrash have also been favorite but their choices are like, okay, let’s see what happens. I’m hopeful because I was excited about Gunnie and I was not into him at all (poverty hits too close) so maybe it will be the opposite this time, lmao.

Same re: lack of interest in LOTR! But the good thing about LOTR is that it's been riffed on so much that, even if Bloodkeep was specifically parodying it, it wasn't hard to pick up on the specific bits of parody.

Also haven't seen the M&M special, so you're in good company there. And you've still watched more Critical Role than me! I've watched some of all three seasons, but it's mostly an osmosis fandom for me. I did watch all of Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, though, because it was exactly tailored to my interests.

Ah, I do Dropout on my laptop browser (Firefox, if that makes a difference). I wonder if it would work using a browser on the iPad or not.

Grant episodes of Breaking News are top-tier. He's one of my favourite people in the Dropout circle of people. Dirty Laundry is definitely much lower-key on the stakes of the secrets, and I think it loses a little bit because they clearly have a timescale to keep to, so Lily is often cutting off conversations.

Oh yeah, the poverty stuff in what I saw of A Starstruck Odyssey was rough, although it gained a dark comedy when juxtaposed with the amount of money Margaret was willing to throw around in those episodes. I was enjoying both iterations of Skip, but I think that might have been down to Zac's expressions and word economy.

Loved this year's Shaam Larein album, the new Darkthrone, The Lord & Petra Haden, Messa, Mizmor, Thou, Ufomammut, Celeste, or the new Sigh album... that's all been on the slab, lately. Though I'll always relax in Iron Maiden like in a hot tub.

You?

I haven’t listened to the new Darkthrone yet, but I’m excited for it! I like to listen broadly too, but my comfort zone is death metal (especially melodeath) and black/anything blackened. Currently listening to a lot of 1914, Aephanemer, Seth, Insomnium, Be’lakor and Altars of Grief. And Iron Maiden!!! Senjutsi last year sent me rabid, I hardly listened to another band for weeks after it came out.

I’m so desperately behind on this year’s releases that I despair of catching up, but hopefully I’ll be able to start getting back on the wagon soon.

Senjutsu was such a surprise! I walked into it expecting nothing, and was completely bowled over. :D

Your diverse range of interests sounds very up my street – subscribing, hope that is ok!

What type of posts can we expect in your journal? I, ah, I often treat my journal as if it is a pop culture magazine shot through with pages and pages of my personal concern regarding my elderly cat's health.
Anything else you'd like us to know? I worry that I smell of cat wee sometimes.

We don't really share any fandoms, but I'm interested in fan experiences other than my own and I'm all about pets. And I worry that I smell of cat wee sometimes made me FEEL SEEN! :D Adding.

Moments before this reply I was trying to clean her with a damp cloth, exciting much protest - we're now fully in the cat wee meta, ahha.

Adding right back! It's lovely to meet you! Like you, I'm excited to see what others are excited about and experience that joy through osmosis.

Hi! I keep seeing you around and you had me at "I worry that I smell of cat wee". May I add you? My thread is here but to sum up, I am a fortysomething trans guy owned by cats and I love Sailor Moon.

OH! Of course, please do! I'm adding you right now and I'm going to use you as my canary in the mine as to whether I should invest in watching Picard also.

*reads your list, narrows eyes, makes a note in a little black book* Hmm, no mention of Enterprise. I see.

hahaha, I'm teasing! :p

Hi, fellow metal fan!! Would love to hear more about your bands and your cat.

Hello, hello! I welcome all conversation about screaming Scandinavian men in dark forests and fluffy kittens, hahah.
