DREAMWIDTH FRIENDING MEME

Heyo!

So after a few plurk discussions, the want to start journaling again a la Livejounal came up a few different places, and this idea was born!

We ask if you participate, that you attempt to post 1-3 time a week, and comment as much as possible to help jump start personal journaling here on dreamwidth. And if you use your journal already (or if you start from here) we'd love a link back to this meme! The more the merrier!

You can also follow this community for both daily writing prompts and a monthly friending meme!

To participate, copy and paste this in a comment, fill it out, and go make some friends!

I am up for academic spewing.

[givemeyourhonor]

Yep I am currently like at the start of chapter 3 for ffxv and Yuri on Ice was the surprise of the year for me. But howdy!

[savethelilin]

I am very possibly the person your "looking for" is describing. Like... everything on your interests list is something I'm interested in. (Also, INFJ Scorpio Slytherin, since that list seems like it should mean something to you + Enneagram 5w4 + I could list a bunch of archetypes but I won't)

[savethelilin]

I see a fellow forever FFXII fan.

[savethelilin]

That sure is a lot of fandoms I like on that fandom list.

YOU
Name| Adina
Age| 21
Other platforms| nehelenia
Fandoms| Harry Potter (including Fantastic Beasts), A Song of Ice and Fire, Disney, Sailor Moon, looking to get into some podcasts beside WTNV, A:TLA, I plan on reading a bunch of books this year so a broad "anything lit(erature)" probably fits, musicals (yes, hamilton), cutesy 3ds life simulation games, possibly others that are escaping me right now
Interest| LANGUAGES, opera, cats, dogs, terrible puns, poetry is fun, paranormal stuffs and things, I can generally drum up some interest for most topics, really
Speed Bio| University student, lesbian, constantly excited about animals, currently job-hunting, Slytherin represent, possibly at the beginning of The Year In Which I Will Finally Learn How To Cook (tm). I sing loudly when I think no one is around and I saw a baby moose last week.

YOUR JOURNAL
What do you post| Most of the above, plus personal stuff. I plan on branching out a bit in terms of what I read/listen to/watch in the coming year, so I'll probably be talking about those things occasionally.
Posting habits| Until now, I've mostly done pen-and-paper journaling, so I'm not sure. A few times a week, and commenting whenever I have something to add would be my best guess!
Warnings| Nothing I can think of. I'll put up warnings for anything triggering or nsfw that might pop up, though.
Looking for| Fandom people, random strangers to chat to about our lives, people who enjoy some of the things I've mentioned above!
Deal breakers| I don't really have the energy for drama, tbh.

Tell us any interesting thing about you! Aside from English, I speak German (fluent), Really Bad French (it's so bad), and I have only just begun to learn Swedish and Polish. Wanna talk about Language Struggles? I'm your woman.
Anything else?

[nehelenia]

[capsulecorp_tm]

we koeis gotta stick together after all.

[nehelenia]

Hi hello hi, everything on your interest list sounds great! I'd love to add you, if you don't mind!

[nehelenia]

Animal Crossing and Madokaaaa, I'm here for those. Let's be journaling buds?

[blackmetal]

Yes! That is absolutely fine.

[nehelenia]

Yoooo, I see you mentioned languages. I'm here for that!

[nehelenia]

It is done!

[nehelenia]

ASOIAF and dogs and musicals!!! Sign me up.

[skyla_doragono]

I know I have a lot more, but heck if I can remember everything. Chances are if someone rambles off something, I have probably heard of it and like it.

Fandoms| My two mains are The Walking Dead (all versions, comic, TV, games) and Last Exile (the 1/8 Dio figure I've been screaming about wanting forever is finally a reality I cannot believe)! Another manga I adore and re-read yearly is Hana Yori Dango and I'm keeping up with Hana Nochi Hare! And Gargoyles I will always adore and rec until I turn blue (Greg is trying to get more comic canon released!). Undertale has also given me a case of The Eternal Feels. Also I love Lost... finally we are getting Funko Pops...

Otherwise I don't talk too much about other stuff, but that could be because I need more friends to talk to about them! My old muselist is here which can give you an idea of what else I'm hella into since I liked RPing from my favorite series.

I'm currently working on my backlog of games and series/books/manga/etc so I'm trying to expand on stuff I can talk about to people! Recent things I've finished are Daredevil, Stranger Things, Tales from the Borderlands, Voltron, and The Last Guardian (WHICH I BASICALLY WEPT THROUGH).

Interest| I don't RP anymore and haven't had good luck with PSLs catching me the right way (which doesn't mean I'm not open to trying again). I'm currently working on some cosplay and made a tumblr for that stuff at kukai-foundation. If there are any cosplayers from my main fandoms I'd love to get to know you and potentially make a con to cosplay together (assuming I could afford it and we were close enough to each other to make the same con).

I like watching gaming streams (esp GDQs, I have AGDQ on in the background right now!) and I play World of Warcraft (Alliance on Kul Tiras!). I'm a nerd for Paul McCartney and the Backstreet Boys and can watch reruns of The Golden Girls and Modern Family 500 times and laugh every time.

Speed Bio| I was born and raised and still live in NYC and work in the Broadway theater area as does some of my family (one works at Hamilton, everyone including me is jealous). I live by myself in an apartment and have two cute cats, Gaignun and Nora (video game name cats!). My sense of humor can be summed up with "everyone learns fast to use the absolute worst most offensive cards in Cards Against Humanity when I am the Card Czar" and I like being positive/lighthearted about things. Shitposts and dumb memes are my lifeblood, especially where my fandoms are concerned (ONTD_Lost was the greatest thing).

YOUR JOURNAL
What do you post| Right now not much, but I would like to post more about fandom things and also updates (with pics) for life events like I used to. I have so many good chronicles from work and other things on my old LJ.
Posting habits| It's been a while so I can't know just yet. :|a I used to keep up so much with my friendslist, and keep mine updated.
Warnings| No big warnings, really? I curse a bit, I may possibly post shit or memes, but nothing bad that wouldn't be warned about if I did post about it.
Looking for| TWD and Last Exile fans, more than anything (I've run LE communities and have a domain with a forum for LE stuff at Over the Sky with things like live dramas and TLs for lesser common canon things). Next tier would be cosplayers from these series. RPers not as much unless you think you have a magic give me PSL energy I clearly don't have powers.
Deal breakers| I mean, nobody wants a dick friend. If you're constantly salty or talk shit about issues instead of dealing with them like an adult, I don't want to be near that anymore. One big thing like many have mentioned is tumblr culture and discourse. I still tumblr because I like gifs and funny/good posts and can just keep scrolling without more than eyeroll at the garbage. But like, ok I'll be honest here, I'm not big on the SJW discourse stuff. I'd rather talk and gush about things I like instead being negative/making anti posts about certain parts of it or always talking about ~problematic~ things. I want to enjoy series I like not be a wet blanket about it to people around me. I want to GUSH and SCREAM and have 500 emotions about it.

Tell us any interesting thing about you! My three most cherished/rare fandom-related items are: the official goat plush from Last Exile, one of Richard's outfits from Lost that I got from the Lost Auctions back in the day, and the Hot Toys Albert Wesker figure. I have four large collectible Lucilles from TWD (and a few small things of her). I also hate moths a lot. Especially the huge juicy ones UGH.

Anything else?

(I'M SO EXCITED WORKING ON HIS COSPLAY I LOVE HIM..... HIM AND NEGAN AND EZEKIEL AND SHIVA S6B AND S7A HAVE BEEN SO GREAT FOR ME ALL OF THESE FAVES FROM THE COMICS BEING SO GOOD...)

[lostinstars]

So I hear you like the Assassin's Creeds, I also enjoy Parkour Stabfest and would like to yell about it with people.

Also art things and maybe other stuff? It has also been a while since I've done journaling.

[blackmetal]

Who doesn't like killing popes?

Same here, I was seriously just staring at my entries and I was like I GUESS I can do art.

[lostinstars]

People who don't appreciate hugs from Leonardo?

It's certainly a half decent way to keep motivated to do stuff I think, having people go "ooh!! :D" at your stuff is nice!

[savethelilin]

Ahhh I do love languages. I don't know any of those, though, aside from maybe a handful of words in German and French. Mine are concentrated in Asia... (Really rusty Japanese and Mandarin ftw?)

[blackmetal]

Connor and Haytham's sass offs too.

Well, it's one thing I can go off about. And agreed! I like to look at other people's stuff and get inspired. And thank you!

[lostinstars]

And Malik's.... everything.

I am so out of practice with drawing because I get crazy notions of things to make cosplay wise XD

Speed Bio| I'm a white-collar worker who grew up in the suburbs on the east coast, now living on the west coast. Technically speaking, I'm a first-generation American immigrant and I tend to be somewhat ambivalent about a lot of American culture. Because my work can be very frustrating at times, I'm redoubling my efforts to improve myself by straightening out my financial and fitness goals, as well as improving my drawing.

YOUR JOURNAL
What do you post| On Plurk I usually post news, cat pictures, manga panels, and general personal stuff.
Posting habits| I used to be fairly consistent at making personal journaling posts, but I haven't for some years. Themes will probably include fandom, photos, nature, race, work, and day-to-day life.
Warnings| N/A.
Looking for| People with similar interests or cool art.
Deal breakers| Begging for money, excessive health complaints, tumblritis, lecturing, inability to recognize hyperbole, sexual tmi
