jayregee: (Warning Whine Alert)
[personal profile] jayregee
Name: Regis

Age: 46

I mostly post about: I am Bipolar. So, it varies. My mood, life and fandoms seem to be the main topics of conversation. Plus, my homosexuality is on topic so my post can get to be adults only. Since it's FRIENDS ONLY there are no warnings.

My hobbies are: making icons, video games, my movie collection. (PHYSICAL MEDIA RULES!)

My fandoms are: Doctor Who, various yaoi anime, Friday the 13th and other horror movies, mystery TV shows like Perry Mason and Columbo. I am also big on the MCU AND DCU.

I'm looking to meet people who: Other gay men and allies. I do not have much a support system at home. So being bipolar I tend to need someone to listen. Even if they do not comment. Also, if I get to be too much, just skip the post. LOL!

My posting schedule tends to be: daily/weekly/monthly/sporadic/etc I try to get at least 3 posts a week in unless we didn't pay the internet bill.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Homophobes, racists, MAGA and other Trump supporters.

Before adding me, you should know: I can be a whiner from time to time. It's my way of getting my feeling out. If that isn't for you, I understand.

Name: Jasmine ♥

Age: 30s



I mostly post about: my life, thoughts, my wins & lessons. I like to think deeply and analyze situations or people, and take time to reflect. I'm very much into self-growth, and focusing on a healthier lifestyle may include recipes, as well as currently watching and reading. Overall, it's a special place to connect with others.



My hobbies are: reading, dancing/listening to music, binge watching random shows, meditating, yoga, knitting, buying notebooks and not using them fully, researching vitamins, online shopping, baking, cooking and juicing.



My fandoms are:not really into fandoms too much anymore, however, if you enjoy it, I don't judge since I have moments.



I'm looking to meet people who: I'd love to make some new friends on here, as a LJ vet. I'm looking for anyone who wants to connect, enjoys commenting, and is active. I'm open-minded and pretty down-to-earth.



My posting schedule tends to be: Most likely weekly, and I'll be a pretty active commentor =)



When I add people, my dealbreakers are: not into the haters, homophobic, racists, politics-focused types - I spread love and that's what I appreciate in return.



Before adding me, you should know: I'm Canadian & pretty new to DW but definitely not new to journaling since I used to be on LJ for years. I comment and I am not shy. I'm looking to interact with anyone 21+. I spread love, I enjoy uplifting others, helping ppl through healing, and just being a genuine person. Feel free to add me ♥



Some of my posts may be nsfw, I'm raw & explicit sometimes, we're adults going through adult things lol.

chromaskies: (Default)
[personal profile] chromaskies
Name: B or Bee (either is fine)

Age: 36

I mostly post about: Anything and everything, really. Questionnaires, creations (see hobbies :)), mind contents, articles,

My hobbies are: Sewing, jewelry making, self-care, fitness (beginner), cozy video games, photography (also very beginner), macrame, collecting stickers (I'm starting a sticker album!), restaurant/brewery adventures, Hello Kitty/Sanrio collecting (very minor hobby as I don't have money to go hard on it lol....or the space to) and finally researching/learning different topics is fun too.

My fandoms are: While I'm not super into fandom, I do like to make icons from games. A couple that I'm playing are Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Pocket Camp and Stardew, but I wouldn't say I'm into shipping or anything like that. I guess light fandom? I dunno lol.

I'm looking to meet people who:Hobby/creative friends who want a friendship and won't just quit on me when I go through a rough time. While I'm getting better, I do still deal with low mood, but having friends I can turn to when it get's heavy is wonderful. I will do the same for you.

My posting schedule tends to be: Coming back from a bit of a hiatus, I'll probably start posting weekly, until I get back in the swing of things, but I want to post every other day or every third day.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Mean people, those who are vicious with friend cuts, Trump supporters/the whole make America great movement,

Before adding me, you should know: See my "Looking to Meet People" please. Other than that, I can't really think of anything else.
canadiangirlgeek: (Self Portrait)
[personal profile] canadiangirlgeek
Name: Val

Age: 47

I mostly post about: Being Gen-X, Canadian, ramblings of day to day life, my mental health, sometimes the state of the world (though I try to keep that to a minimum), what I'm currently reading, Nelson shenanigans (my cat)

My hobbies are: I knit and crochet; writing, watching movies/television (mostly drama and British telly), reading, 'cozy' colouring with alcohol markers, music (love to listen to new things)

My fandoms are: I used to be very into fandoms 10 or so years ago, but not so much anymore. It can be exhausting.

I'm looking to meet people who: above all, are kind. 20+ of age, and have some interests in common. It would be ideal if you like to comment on entries.

My posting schedule tends to be: aiming for daily, but likely a few times a week. I'm journaling again at the suggestion of my therapist.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: the usual: racism, anti-LGBTQIA+. I used to be a big Harry Potter fan, but no longer and I generally stay away from those who still embrace the fandom, JKR, and the books/movies.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a very kind and sensitive person and try to be thoughtful and respectful when commenting on others entries, so I hope to receive the same in return. Also, I have an odd sense of humour and I use "LOL" and "<3" a lot.
theharbourreader: (Default)
[personal profile] theharbourreader
Name: Blythe
Age: 37

I mostly post about:
Life on the Cornish coast, daily swims in the sea, studio days at the pottery wheel, what’s blooming in the garden, what I’m reading (mostly mid-century women writers), the small rituals that keep me steady, and occasional thoughts on slow living and soft rebellion.

My hobbies are:
Ceramics, sea swimming, baking things that go with tea, reading literary fiction (especially anything with layered domestic dynamics and quiet emotional collapse), pressing flowers into notebooks, and making seasonal playlists.

I'm looking to meet people who:
Write or read with heart, find beauty in the everyday, value kindness, know the pleasure of a well-brewed pot of tea, or also spend entire evenings choosing which notebook to start. Anyone who understands that joy and sadness often walk hand in hand.

My posting schedule tends to be:
Softly inconsistent— I'm aiming for 2-3x week, sometimes once a week, sometimes three times in a day if I’m feeling chatty or emotionally unspooled. Usually seasonal—more reflective in winter, more playful in summer.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
Cruelty, racism, snobbery, homophobia, transphobia, or taking yourself far too seriously. I’m not here for edge for edge’s sake.

Before adding me, you should know:
I write a little like I talk—long, meandering, full of parentheses and feelings. I will absolutely comment on your post about moss or jam or the book you half-finished three years ago. I’m not perfect, but I’m trying to be soft on purpose.
setnox1: Faith Connors, hand pic (how scandalous!), Mirror's Edge Catalyst (Default)
[personal profile] setnox1
Name: SetNox1, or Kai if you prefer a 'proper' name.

Age: 20.

I mostly post about: Not sure yet but probably whatever's on my mind at the time. Daily life, insights, events, ideas, not in any specific order. Don't expect anything too shocking though. Inside thoughts should stay inside or in a paper journal at most.

My hobbies are: Dungeons & Dragons, drawing, maybe writing if you're generous with vague periphery interests that stuck around for months. I'm trying to get into sewing and other clothing DIY shenanigans.

My fandoms are: None. Maybe Percy Jackson if you count lurking in the art/headcanons corner of Tumblr as participating in a fandom.

I'm looking to meet people who: Share snippets of their mind and life and enjoy exchanging music recommendations. Seriously, send me songs, I love exploring new artists, especially the smaller/independent ones.

My posting schedule tends to be: Probably sporadic. Knowing myself, I'll try to keep a regular schedule, then forget about the schedule, then have a big buildup of stuff to say but can't find the words for them, and when things finally click int place I'll share a crap ton. I love my executive functionality (cue lightheartedly sarcastic sigh).

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Focus on sexual stuff and gore. I don't mind them in small doses but god forbid it becomes the main point of conversation. Also, ny form of queerphobia! Pardon my English but you're not 'phobic' or 'scared' of anything, you're just a douche, or raised by one at best.

Before adding me, you should know: I overanalyse quite a lot behind the scenes, possibly because of something neurodivergent that I've not yet discovered. For the same reason I might come across as plain or sarcastic eve when I don't intend to. Whoops. I'm also a very queer soul. Go enjoy your life without me if you're looking for a neurotypical, cishet-normative experience.

liminalovertea: Purple and pink clouds. (clouds)
[personal profile] liminalovertea
Name: Holly

Age: Mid-30s



I mostly post about: Shower-thought essays and musings, fandom, fan theories, world-building, reactions to media, drabble snippets, OC and character development, creative process, occasional IRL that's in a digestible form for the internet.



My hobbies are: Writing, art, paragraph roleplay, video games, reading, book annotation, note-taking theory, journaling, hand-sewing, crochet, knitting, playlist-building, theory-crafting, wiki-building and information management.



My fandoms are: Anything cat-related, The Elder Scrolls, Baldur's Gate 3, Dragon Age: Origins, The Legend of Zelda (Ocarina of Time → Twilight Princess), Silent Hill (1-4), The Evil Within/サイコブレイク, The Apothecary Diaries, Higurashi When They Cry, Hayao Miyazaki, anything horror by Mike Flanagan, anything by Guillermo del Toro, Asian horror, found-footage films, high-end animation.



I'm looking to meet people who: are preferrably 25+ in age, neurodivergent, share my fandoms, are open-minded and fun to talk with.



My posting schedule tends to be: Sporadic, due to fluctuating spoons and hyperfocus binges.



When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Anyone under 18, anyone supportive of America's current administration/MAGA/right-wing idealists, excessive political posts, crypto/AI/Tesla/entrepeneurial bros, religious evangelism or witnessing, animal cruelty, bigotry, racism, homophobes, transphobes, lore-policing, drama-llamas, unsolicited mental-health bombs (I'm your friend, not your therapist), overt neediness/attention-seeking, inebriated/intoxicated messaging, atrocious grammar and spelling (my native language is English), toxic behaviors in general.



Before adding me, you should know: I'm west-coast American (and yes, I would rather be anywhere else right now, but can't be), I'm AuDHD (progressively demasking after years of working corporate and burning out) and queer (AFAB genderfluid, pansexual; she/they pronouns). I'm 15-years-happily-married and monogamous. I'm very direct, because I would rather be honest than polite. I grew up in a household where expletives were every other word, so I hope you don't mind if I curse at times. My creative works are intended for mature audiences and are not intended for people who are easily triggered (I do try to tag accordingly, though, I'm not a monster 😅).

rafiwinters: (9 fantastic)
[personal profile] rafiwinters
Name:Rafi. If you come across this post or my profile and you think "hmm, looks familiar," that's possibly because I changed my DW name several months ago. It used to be "Emerald Em."

Age:58

I mostly post about:My daily life, my writing, my disabilities, autism, mental illness, being queer, my wife, fanfic, my gender journey, chronic illness (feh!), the political reality I and my people live in

My hobbies are:writing, crocheting, studying Wicca

My fandoms are:The West Wing, Man from UNCLE, Criminal Minds, some others

I'm looking to meet people who:share similar interests,

My posting schedule tends to be:three or four times a week, sometimes more often

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: TL;DR = don't be a bigoted jackass. Longer version: no queerphobia of any kind, no Trumpers. Be open-minded. Accept my lived experience in my queer self and my disabled body and mind. I welcome respectful questions if you have them, though.

Before adding me, you should know:I don't always have the spoons* to comment on all the new posts that pop up on my reading page when I log in. But I do do my earnest best to read the posts. So I generally know what's going on with my DW friends. Also, the mini-bio in my profile is currently (as of June 14 2025) pretty short--I'm working on updating and lengthening it--so it might not tell you much. If you have questions, please ask!

I am AFAB nonbinary, and again, happy to answer respectful/curious questions. But no phobias. If you don't like it, lump it and move along.

thunderschoen: (Default)
[personal profile] thunderschoen

Name: Simone



Age: Late 30s



I mostly post about: What I'm reading (probably some kind of cosmic or folk horror, or something adjacent to that), what video games I've played lately (mostly indie/puzzle/adventure/detective), bits and pieces about my life. Occasionally more personal things if I feel they might be interesting or useful in some way, otherwise I keep it private.

My hobbies are: Drawing, watercolour painting, reading, playing video games, vintage fashion, listening to music (classical, opera, symphonic metal, soundtracks, dark cabaret, electroswing, old jazz, some more modern stuff...), singing and playing the autoharp (I also used to play piano but kinda stopped...still have a keyboard but haven't dug it out in months...), occasionally cross-stitch and embroidery, puzzles, going for walks, learning about pretty much anything but especially animals, mythology, history, and science. When I was a kid, my special interests were Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece, butterflies, cloud formations, the planet Jupiter, and English folk superstitions, and I feel like I've just carried on from there. During the pandemic I got fixated on learning how to identify birds by their songs. You probably get the idea by now.



My fandoms are: I don't tend to write about fandom stuff but the only fandom I've ever been active in is Pokemon. I still write fanfiction occasionally but it's not something I write about in my journal. Other games I love include Portal and the Rusty Lake games but there's lots. In terms of watching things, I enjoy the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Game of Thrones / House of the Dragon, Black Mirror and Stranger Things. I'm getting back into Welcome to Night Vale (podcast) but I'm like 5 years behind...



I'm looking to meet people who: Share some of my interests? Similar age preferred but not essential. If you read and/or play similar stuff to me I would love to trade recommendations.



My posting schedule tends to be: Once or twice a week right now but during busy times I might drop off for a bit.



When I add people, my dealbreakers are: If your journal is very fandom-focused, I probably won't have much to say in comments. I'd also prefer to avoid lots of posts about religion and/or politics, regardless of "flavour". I don't really care what your political views are (I mean, unless you're a white supremacist or a neo-Nazi...I'm a mixed race Jewish woman so that could be awkward...) but I'd rather not be reading racist, antisemitic, misogynistic, homophobic, etc. content. Or anything that's overly mean-spirited about anyone.



Before adding me, you should know: I live in the UK, in case you wanted to know that. And I'm autistic, not that it comes up very often in my journal posts. Also, as a sort of "reverse" to the above question - I also don't post about my political views (or anything controversial, really) in my journal.

sweetsorcery: (Default)
[personal profile] sweetsorcery
Posting here because I haven't in years, and I struggle to find people who share even one or two interests with me, so the suggested template doesn't fit me any better than most things. I'll use what I can of it, and I apologise for being very rambly. :)

Name: [personal profile] sweetsorcery

Age: well over 18

I mostly post about: Writing, Fandom Events (Exchanges, Challenges, etc.), Life and Health Challenges. After that, it gets murky, because I often want to post about the many, many things that interest me and then just talk to myself about them instead, because my tastes couldn't be less mainstream.

What are these interests: Writing M/M (see fandoms), Victorian and Edwardian Ghost Stories/Horror/Weird Fiction, Golden Age Adventure Stories, Audiobooks and Vintage Radioplays, WWI and WWII (specifically British Military History, Aviation, and Naval warfare), British Social History from the Victorians through to the middle of the 20th Century, Ancient History, Art (esp. Romanticism, Neoclassicism and Surrealism) and Architecture (esp. Art Deco, Tudor, Jacobean), Archaeology, Ancient Egypt, Paganism, Spirituality, Reincarnation, Mythology, Folklore, Parapsychology, Taoism, British Dance Bands from the 1920s - 1940s, Baroque Music (incl. Opera very selectively), Romantic Era Music, Pop from the 1950s - 1980s, Dancing (sadly mostly passive these days), Romantic Poetry, Old Movies (I say 'old' instead of 'classic' to avoid confusion, because again, my favourites are pretty obscure to most people and include a lot of War Movies), Silent Movies, Age of Sail, etc.

My fandoms have been many over time, but these are the ones I'm most likely to read/write now and in future: Biggles - W E Johns, Famous Five - Enid Blyton, Vienna Blood (still on my first run-through of the TV series, but loving it), Kidnapped - Robert Louis Stevenson, Vintage Ghost Stories (I keep adding to the list of inspiring ones to write about), Vintage War Movies (ditto), 18th and 19th Century RPF, Ancient Egypt RPF

I'm looking to meet people who: share one or more of my eclectic interests

My posting schedule tends to be: What is a schedule?

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: You might assume from my old-fashioned interests that I'm rather conservative. Nope, not unless it comes to wishing people were still polite and well-spoken. Think of me as a kind of Ariadne Oliver type... and if that means anything to you, we might get along well. ;)
While I don't post or read about Politics if I can possibly help it, please keep on your side of the enclosure if you're homophobic, transphobic, racist, ableist, anti-science, anti-personal freedom, supportive of fascist regimes, or prone to diving down conspiracy theory rabbit holes. If you don't believe in the motto "Live and Let Live", we won't get along; that extends to writing too, because while I don't write anything needing AO3 archive warnings, you'll regularly find themes and pairings in my writing that offend conservatives and antis. Also, you must be over 18 too - I don't censor my writing or my posts.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a Pisces with a Scorpio ascendant, and an INFP, so I'm consistently spinning day dreams and easily distracted. I avoid conflict, but I have claws/pincers for emergencies. I'm agoraphobic and aegosexual.
I have CPTSD and Fibromyalgia, and I do talk about that. I mention this because it's cost me "friends" before, so if you easily get sick and tired of people whose daily life mostly consists of being sick and tired, and who sometimes need to vent their grief about that in their own journal, you might like to avoid me. It's unfortunately part of who I am, but I promise, I don't post detailed medical horrors. If I do post about it, it's usually as an apology for disappearing for a while and under a cut.
I sparingly use generative AI art to help me visualise literary characters of whom no proper visuals exist, but I don't use AI in writing. I don't claim AI art as my own, and fandom icons are about the most public use I make of it; if you're going to lecture me on that, please just move on.
I get hyper-fixated and will post about my fixations at length with the least amount of encouragement.

Country: Australia



I mostly post about: My journal is very new, i think I decided to make it because I was feeling a bit low and just wanted to write about my feelings and interests and hopefully find like-minded people. I'm also trying to make my web experience a more pleasant one, so I like looking at journals and personal websites. Indie web, small web, that kind of thing I yearn for so I might share things I find! But so far, I like to yap about my daily life and my practice in fighting games. I just started a fight log so I can hopefully more clearly see my progress! I will probably generally just talk about other things like anime, video games and maybe I'll post art or photos taken on my digicam. Also I'm queer and figuring things out still lmao



My hobbies are: Currently I'm focused in on fighting games (granblue rising, but I'm also a street fighter and guilty gear enjoyer), working on my art, vtubing, crochet and the smallest smattering of baby guitar when I can find time after all that. Other interests that can come back into my rotation is language study (Japanese and Spanish), miniature painting, nail art, weightlifting, snorkeling (I dream of scuba/free diving tho!)



My fandoms are:I'm not deep in any fandom at the moment but I enjoy content from sailor moon, granblue, guilty gear, general DnD stuff, hololive, vshojo and arcane. I'm also a huge Lady Gaga fan. And a lover of My Chemical Romance.



I'm looking to meet people who: I think are cool! I enjoy reading other people's day-to-day life and their passions, might get me excited about something new , too! If we hype over similar things that's a tasty cherry on top ;9



My posting schedule tends to be: aiming for at least a few times a week.



When I add people, my dealbreakers are: if you don't support LGBTQ+, if you excuse any wars, if you support generative AI, you know if you lean in those kinds of directions - please don't talk to me.



Before adding me, you should know: I'm sorry if my post was too long! And I might be using this as a form of therapy (cuz therapy is expensive) so if I do post something that's a bit heavier, I'll learn how to put it behind a cut and maybe make it friends only. But I think I'll try and keep cheery here! I'm still learning how to use this site

november_5th: (Default)
[personal profile] november_5th

Name: Karmen

Age: 30s

I mostly post about: personal growth, trauma unpacking, character analysis, neurodivergence, identity, memory, and the messiness of being human. Sometimes it’s raw introspection. Sometimes it’s writing projects. Sometimes it’s emotional archaeology. Expect depth, questions, and occasional chaos.

My hobbies are: Writing, reading, exploring psychological patterns, long drives with curated playlists, casually reverse-engineering tech, helping others make sense of complex systems, data analysis, and overanalyzing fictional characters as a form of therapy.

My fandoms are: Buffy, Doctor Who, Veronica Mars, iZombie, Epic: The Musical, Star Trek, The Martian/Project Hail Mary universe, and anything weird, genre-bending, or emotionally resonant. I also have a soft spot for nostalgic emo vibes and anything that blends humor with existential dread.

I'm looking to meet people who: Think deeply, love honestly, write messily, and aren’t afraid of intensity. Neurodivergent folks, artists, writers, and anyone else who thrives in the liminal spaces between structure and chaos - let’s connect.

My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic but meaningful. If I post, it’s because I have something to say, not because an algorithm demands it.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Bigotry of any kind or cruelty masked as honesty. If you can’t be kind (or at least curious), I’m not your people.

Before adding me, you should know: I’m someone who craves depth over small talk. I’m working on showing up without needing to perform. I write honestly, even when it’s messy. I hold space for contradiction, growth, and grief. If you’re here for realness, reflection, and weird little moments of connection, welcome.

Name: Danielle

Age: 30s

I mostly post about: life, books I'm reading (or re-reading!), music I'm loving, tennis matches I'm yelling at the TV about, and all the soft little joys in between.

My hobbies are: reading, writing, journalling, cooking, gardening, watching tennis, listening to music, doing crosswords, talking about Greek myths, collecting daffodils (not literally, just in spirit), and wandering around museums and libraries like a nerd in her natural habitat.

My fandoms are: Percy Jackson, Greek mythology in general, Taylor Swift, various tennis players (Aryna Sabalenka, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Jasmine Paolini, Qinwen Zheng).

I'm looking to meet people who: are curious, kind, thoughtful, and enjoy rambling about things they love. Fellow readers, writers, myth geeks, ADHD brains, and warm-hearted nerds especially welcome!

My posting schedule tends to be: softly chaotic, but aiming for 3–4 posts a week—somewhere between “routine” and “inspired flurry.”

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: bigotry of any kind, cruelty, or just generally being mean-spirited. I like my internet spaces kind and cozy.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a chatterbox when I'm excited, and I’ll probably mention Greek gods, tennis scores, and obscure historical tidbits in the same breath. I write with a lot of heart, and I love connecting with thoughtful people. 💛

Age: 36



I mostly post about: So I'm 2 years into my transition as a female, I'm pretty much woman except I can't land a job so have no friends, dates, nothing. I'm EXTREMELY stressed. I try to game to escape, but my mom purposely stresses me out while I do that, I'm in hell. I go outside only when I have to now, 'cause people treat me like shit. So my posts are mostly musings and psychological bs. You can see the shit I put up with on the first on my first page.



My hobbies are: Listening to y2k music, sometimes 90s music, playing video games, indie/y2k/multiplayer/remakes&sequals, and working out.



My fandoms are: Final Fantasy. I've played them all, though I haven't beaten every one. Will be getting more into Zelda when I get a Switch 2. The Last of Us (TV) and I've played the games. Gay shit in general.



I'm looking to meet people who: Nerds who don't get butthurt or threatened about me.



My posting schedule tends to be: Whenever the mood strikes.



When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Well, the exclusionary workaholic tools already aren't adding me, so I don't have to worry about anyone!



Before adding me, you should know: If you stop commenting after 2 weeks, as most journalers do, I will remove you so let's skip the unnecessary steps and just not add me if you're gonna do that, okay?

Hello! I'm new in here, and it feels lonely  for now. I'd love to start getting to know people, and grow my reading list.

Name:
Laura

Age: 40s

I mostly post about: my daily life, things that happen (mostly ordinary and mundane), my thoughts, or my daily activities. I also love to post photos. I'm a psychologist, so I won't rant about work or share details about that for confidential reasons, but I might occasionally talk about my work in general, or things that concern me at the moment.

My hobbies are: outdoor activities (hiking, paddle surf), yoga and sports in general, scrapbooking, watching movies and TV shows, reading (especially graphic novels), playing videogames 

My fandoms are: I'm not really active in fandoms right now, but I don't have any problem in adding you if you're into them, as long as that's not the only content of your journal

I'm looking to meet people who: basically I'm open to meet anybody who is willing to interact. I'm a very open minded person, I like to get to know people and know more about what their life is lilke. I love journals that talk about mundane things, I find comfort in daily life and routine.

My posting schedule tends to be: I guess I'm going to post several times per week. My journal is new and I haven't added friends yet, so I might post more when I add people. 

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: racism, homophobia, and in general people who are mean to others. 

Before adding me, you should know: my account is very new, so you won't see much content for now. Please, don't let that make you think I am not an active person or a person who is not going to post, is simply that I just joined DW and is all still a blank page for me (and this can be pretty scary). I used to be a huge poster on LJ years ago (I had an active account there for years), and I really miss to have a space where to share my thoughts and daily stuff, and also read about other people's life. I have accounts on other social medial sites, but none of them is giving me the kind of connection and safe space feeling that I find in places like this, so that's why I decided to go back to journaling.. I miss all the connections I made back then through LJ, and I'd like to find a place I can call home here in DW as well.

On a last note, I was polvodestrella in LJ. I don't have access to that account anymore, and I don't know if anybody from my flist back then in there is in here and reads this If this is the case, feel free to add me back, I'd love that

Name: Syrene

Age: 37

I mostly post about: WRITING. No, honestly, 99% of my entries will talk about what I'm working on currently (the chances that it's historical fiction are good), what plans I have for writing, my story ideas (it's mostly original, once in a while fanfic) and asking for input and/or help with stuff I'm doing, writing-wise. OTHER THAN THAT, my posts are about everyday stuff, some family drama which is an ongoing issue, health since I broke my ankle very badly in January and still am in a process of rehabilitation, therapy things and similar. But, yeah, 99% writing.

My hobbies are: Writing, Dreamwidth roleplaying, obscure Japanese musicals (Takarazuka), watching ballet and reading/doing a lot of research, making icons (I'm not very good at it, but it's a nice pastime) and spending way too much time on Discord.

My fandoms are: A lot of classic literature (Sappho, Dumas' The Lady of the Camellias, Mishima's Spring Snow, Vivien's A Woman Appeared to Me) and other literature (big Murakami and André Aciman fan), plus some ballet fandoms - I call myself the Queen of Obscure Fandoms, because most of my fandom participation is in fandoms where I am the only one or one of a few who have uploaded fic to AO3. I used to be very engaged in the community around the Royal Danish Ballet and attended almost everything they put on, but after covid that has unfortunately changed, I am, however, still a big ballet enthusiast although from afar and with a more nostalgic approach to it, looking back fondly on old memories.

I'm looking to meet people who: Will gush with me about beautiful things (writing, ballet, films, whatever) and discuss writing stuff with me or literature and sometimes come with thoughts and comments on the rest of the things I post about.

My posting schedule tends to be: Generally a couple of times a week, once in a while several times a day.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Politics. I am politically invested, as most people are, but in my DW space, I just don't have spoons for all that negativity, worry and ranting. I've got enough of that in real life. So, my journal is as far as possible a politics-free zone.

Before adding me, you should know: I sometimes take long breaks from posting, due to mental health reasons, but I always come back after a month or two and will as a rule keep people updated on what went down. As part of writing about my RL, I will touch upon my relationship (I'm a lesbian in an almost 20-year-long relationship this year), past school and family trauma (though I never go into great detail), my interest in religion (mostly academically these days, but I grew up pretty Protestant Christian) and mental health issues like anxiety and bipolar disorder. If that isn't your cup of tea, you should probably not friend me.

Age: early 40s



I mostly post about: General life and thoughts, for the most part. I do try to do a weekly media post of what I've been reading and watching (those posts are public, whereas everything else is friends-locked)



My hobbies are: Lots of different things, most of which are in my profile interests. The main ones are reading, cooking and baking, board games, trying out new restaurants/cuisines. I'm trying to get back into fiction writing, but life has me a bit frazzled lately.



My fandoms are: I'm not into fandom. I enjoy a lot of things, but not really to the level of what I consider fandom.



I'm looking to meet people who: write about their lives and like to get to know others. I try to comment when I can, but I do always read and try to keep up, and that's all I can expect of others, too. So comments are nice, but I'm not going to cut you for not commenting "enough."



My posting schedule tends to be: I try to post at least once a week. Sometimes it's every day, which I try to keep to as much as possible so that I can have a record of my life and thoughts.



When I add people, my dealbreakers are: If you espouse right-wing ideals, or are homo- or transphobic, or racist, then we're probably not going to get along.



Before adding me, you should know: see dealbreakers above. If you add me, you can get up to speed with my basics from my sticky post (and at the bottom of that one, I have linked a longer version with more details, heh)

Name: TRC

Age: 41

I mostly post about: My life, history, books, video games, streaming television, movies, art, maybe occasional current events and history

My hobbies are: AI art (I used to do traditional and digital art but am adapting with the times, and I specialize in anthropomorphic art), writing, reading, video games

My fandoms are: I was involved in the furry fandom but all the drama, cancel culture, callouts, and such caused me to leave, along with their resistance towards AI art. I was only in it for the art and writing, not everything else. Star Wars is probably my favorite franchise since I see allusions in everyday life.

I'm looking to meet people who: Maybe relate to me and respect my unique perspectives. I'm autistic so I am naturally weird, though I've pretty much mostly disowned my own people due to widespread exemplification of negative stereotypes, and I'm involved in zero to none autistic communities and support groups as a result.

My posting schedule tends to be: At least once every few days.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Pretty much anyone who is Woke, which was a major factor in my leaving the furry fandom and apathy towards the autistic community.

Before adding me, you should know: I am very ADHD, OCD, and PTSD as an autistic, and if you remotely trigger me in any way, I will politely that I remove you from my friends list, and I don't bother with second chances anymore since 99.99% of the time when I have I've been burned over and over.

I mostly post about: Lots of stuff! I'm not new to dreamwidth or even LJ, but I lost access to both of my accounts. I will post about day happenings, some photos, stuff I like and recommend (such as teas or music for example), life in general, stuff on my mind, surveys/questionnaires, and the stuff I make from hobbies! My posts are mainly in the medium length realm, but sometimes can get long depending.



My hobbies are: Penpaling, cooking, cleaning/organizing, writing fiction, doodling/drawing, sewing, making jewelry, wood paint/abstract painting, graphic design, fashion, long walks and practicing good habits/hygiene. I want to get back into yoga and strength training too, but it's not quite a hobby yet.



My fandoms are: I used to be huge into fandom, but it kinda fizzled out. However, I don't have a problem with fandom so long as everyone is respectful.



I'm looking to meet people who: Similar-minded, kind people who will communicate! I was heavy into facebook for a bit but a lot of people I talked to ended up ghosting me or they would just quit talking to me. It's heart-breaking. I want to build friendships



My posting schedule tends to be: daily/weekly/monthly/sporadic/etc

Will probably start out weekly, kinda every other day, but may go daily!

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:Hate in general, MAGA, Trumpers, extremists (politically), two-faced gossipers and finally those who ship children with anyone or the general thought that any of that is acceptable.



Before adding me, you should know: While it's not all that I post about, I will sometimes talk about my mental health or mental health in general. I have diagnosed MDD (major depressive disorder), generalized anxiety and OCD. I'm suspicious that I have ADHD and that I'm possibly autistic. I usually try to find the positive in life to talk about but we all have bad days. If you're not wanting to read about mental health issues at all, we won't click.

Name: Meep
Pronouns: æ/ær, ey/em, or she/her
Age: 36
Location: Tokyo, Japan (from New England, USA)

I mostly post about… my daily life - work (international school librarian) and school (MA Humanities, Self Designed - focusing on imagination as a form of escape from capitalism) but my conversion journey to Judaism, also pretty flowers I saw today; interesting things I read; Shinto shrines I visited; and my cat, Tiamat.

The hobbies I'm trying to monetize/professionalize are… writing - picture books, poetry
The hobbies I'm not trying to monetize/professionalize are… crochet, writing - queer romance, doll photography, indie web design, getting my nails done

I'm looking to meet people who… are adults (21+ only, non-negotiable because of my day job), post about your daily life (whatever that looks like), interact occasionally (I don't expect comments on every post!), and aren't -ist/-phobic, you know? no transphobes, no biphobes, no Islamophobes, etc. welcome here!

My posting schedule tends to be: I post at least once a day most days, often more; I use the "Don't show on Reading pages" ticky-box for inane thoughts or when I'm really on a hypergraphia tear and try to put excessively long posts under a cut.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: (See above, and…) I am a genderqueer asexual lesbian converting to Judaism [with a non-Zionist rabbi] so I think you can guess. If you voted for the current U.S. president or you are very concerned about """fairness in women's sports""" but aren't talking about the pay disparity between the NBA and the WNBA we are not going to get along.

Commenting expectations: I post a lot but I don't expect comments on every single thing! I try to comment when I have something to say but I won't spam you.
