Twitter Exodus Friending Meme

[xancredible]

Maybe no-one besides my handful of DW mutuals will fill this out but let's try having a friending meme like in the good old days.

Comment with this form filled out, read other people's comments, chat, and friend each other :D

Your username on DW: rhoda_rants
Your username on other social media: rhoda_writes on Ao3; looking at starting a Tumblr, but I haven't done that yet
Pronouns: she/they, with a slight preference for they
Age bracket: I turn 40 next year :)
Geographical area: Southern USA
Interests: Writing, baking, drawing; music (Top 5 bands are The Beatles, My Chemical Romance, Nine Inch Nails, The Black Veil Brides, and Iron Maiden); horror in all formats (movies, shows, comics, books, videogames); sci-fi and fantasy; mythology, fairy tales, and magic.
Fandoms: Star Wars, Stranger Things, The MCU, The Sandman, Lord of the Rings, various low-stakes comedies, anything with vampires. You should know these reshuffle and change A LOT. Right now my top fandom is Stranger Things, but that will probably change once I'm caught up with the new Vampire Chronicles TV show.
What type of posts can we expect in your journal? Fandom stuff, including lengthy meta-analysis of various shows and movies; stories about the library where I work; concert reviews; book reviews; retrospectives on my favorite actors, series, or music; links to my fanfic updates; and my continuing adventures in learning how to play the guitar. At the end of the year, I post a Top [Insert Number] of new books and movies. That kind of thing won't be filtered (apart from the library stuff because it includes more details about my location), but mutuals will also see rants about US politics, LGBTQAI+ stuff, and more personal, family-related stuff.
Anything else you'd like us to know? My username starts with "Rhoda" which is an older online moniker, but I go by "Ash" now. Ace spectrum, Norse pagan, I use music as part of my spiritual practice and talk about that sometimes, and I update my blog maybe every week or so? I'm trying to update more frequently. I prefer mutual interaction, so if you don't comment on my blog ever, I will eventually remove you from my Circle. No hard feelings, it's just not what I want out of DW.

IWTV stuff, please! :D

[rhoda_rants]

Woo, vampire stuff! Although I'm not caught up on the new series yet, so it might be awhile before I'm able to interact with that fandom corner.

Lord of the Rings, [...] anything with vampires PLUS Iron Maiden-- how very awesome! Looking forward to reading more. 🤝

[rhoda_rants]

Yay! I look forward to getting to know you better!

[theskywasblue]

A fellow horror fan! Awesome :D

[rhoda_rants]

Horror IS awesome! Nice to meet you!

(I know we're already friended but I wanted to say hi! :D)

Also, I'm possibly going to start the Interview with the Vampire show today and am excited to go look at the post you made >> I'm also seriously considering doing episode rambles myself, just because I can.

(I came to VC in the weirdest way, my mother gave me the Vampire Armand when I was nine, but I loved it (there are a lot of factors that played into that which uh...get into other things) and proceeded to fall into what bits of fandom I could find in 2000 after getting a hold of everything available at the time.)

Unrelated to that: I did not know about music being a part of your personal practice, I love that so much and it makes me happy to see others do things like that.

[rhoda_rants]

Hi there! :) I'm not totally caught up yet either; actually I have another friend who is finished with the series and keeps posting about it--under a cut, thankfully--but I just keep going, "Gaaah, I need to finish so I can come back to this!" So I know the feeling.

[liriaen]

Your interests do really resonate - mind if I follow?

[rhoda_rants]

Sure! Nice to meet you!

IRON MAIDEN!!! :D Also My Chemical Romance!!! I’ve tried to convince a few people that these two bands have the same energy but metalheads tend to scowl at me and emo kids just look confused. Anyway, they’re two of my faves as well.

What’s your star war of choice? I got in via the sequels and that’s where my heart lives, but I dabble in everything.

Look forward to reading your posts :)

[rhoda_rants]

YESS!! Punk and metal really shouldn't be rivals. Emo especially has the same melodramatic, theatrical flair of many metal bands. I loooooove Iron Maiden. And MCR has been my favorite band on Earth since the "Revenge" era. ❤️

The Star War I came in on was the original trilogy, because that's all that was out when I was a kid; but I have grown to love all three trilogies. Mainly I just love all the movies, plus a couple of the extended universe books.

I also work in a library, enjoy multiple fandoms with vampires, and I'm interested in mythology/fairy tales. I think your journal will be fun to read so hope it's cool that I've added you.

[rhoda_rants]

Definitely cool! Nice to meet you!
