journal:

i tend to post about general goings on in my life. this can span from relationship talk to whatever it is i'm nerding out about at the time. ( it's probably final fantasy ) i'm not really involved in fandom but i do like taking screen caps that jump out at me. you can also expect instagram dumps. i love images and aesthetics make the world go round. it's about a 50/50 split of locked and private entries. i'm not talking behind your back, i promise.
some things i just need to keep to myself.

i'm looking for people with similar interests or who are willing to share their lives. commenting is nice but not necessary. you may find that i comment often because i'm eager to know the people that i've friended. you can always let me know if it's too much!

if you're interested and think we may get along, i'm overjoyed but, i do have to ask that you please not add me without commenting here first!

( time may have passed since i've posted this so if it's been a few weeks
and you'd like to add me then you can always comment on
my friends only post instead ♥ )

other:

i'm a leftist
i'm an infj according to mbti
i study tarot + astrology pretty seriously
intersectional feminism or bust

We actually have so much in common that ot'd be silly not to be friends (waves the final fantasy flag). But also we share others outside that like Utena and Sakura) right now though FFXIV has eaten my soul!)

[law]

awesome! i was honestly thinking of dm'ing you since we crossed paths yesterday ♥
as a token of new friendship, i present to you the most valid ffxiv steam review.

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

Hurrah! And yes.. Ibhave heard reviews of the steam version and I just have to lol. Also.. I must warn you, Inhave an obsession with Basch's potholder. I hope that does not make you want to rethink our friendship

[law]

the few times where i actually appreciate one line reviews, lol. & i had to look up what you meant by basch's potholder and i am ( screaming ) with laughter now so no, it doesn't change my mind.

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

Well y'know sometimes you are out there in the middle of a vast desert and you never know when you are going to have to pick up a hot plate lying in your pwth. BASCH SOLVED THIS DILEMMA FOR ALL! Truly forward thinking right there.. what would the party do without his usefulness?

[law]

basch is the true hero of the story thanks to his thinking ahead! just imagine how hot imperial armor must be! everyone must be protected! a paladin in more ways than one!

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

IF THERE WAS ANY DOUBT WE WOULD GET ALONG, IT HAS BEEN ESTINQUISHED.

We will get along FAMOUSLY!

Hey Ashe,
I don't know where to begin. Your introduction already sounds really nice & I would love to get to know you better. I am a Taurus Sun / Taurus Moon / Virgo Ascendant, actually :3 (and pretty much into astrology & tarot, too, along with numerology and palmistry when I have the time to really dive into these subjects.). I'm 34 years old and I live in Germany. I love music & movies. My three favourite movies of all time'd probably be Labyrinth (favourite from my childhood ♥), Dead Poets Society, and Inside Out, even though the latter was released NOT THAT LONG AGO *ahem*. I am also into the MBTI & Enneagram - well, a little. I am really the worst at typing others I guess, but I myself am an INFP & tritype 479. As for music, it is really a mixture, but most songs I listen to probably fall under the category of "goth"... I also play the electric guitar & I sing. What else? Ah yes, my name is Rina. :D If you have any questions, please ask away.

[law]

hello rina! you sound lovely and love to get to know you more too :) i was just thinking not too long ago how it would be nice to know more earth signs. i've really been meaning to watch dead poets society even though i know i'll be a mess by the end. i'm not good at typing others either. even after lurking mbti boards for awhile. i have a somewhat basic grasp on what other types are like though. my tritype is 461.

your music taste sounds interesting and i think it's amazing that you're a musician!
do you also make goth music? who is your favorite poet?

[khaosinkinema]

I just added you :)! My favourite poet... I know this sounds so cliché right now, but I just loved Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (and Rainer Maria Rilke, too). I am not THAT much into poetry, though, to be entirely honest, but those two really stand out for me. :) I am trying to *grin* @ "Do you also make goth music?", even though it often doesn't sound like this. I programme my own music with some Digital Audio Workstations, and somehow I am mostly drawn to xylophones, steel drums, glockenspiels, etc. which is sometimes hard to put into this kind of music. Even though I sometimes managed to do that ^^;.

Oh yeah, Dead Poets Society. I remember the first time I watched it was in ninth of tenth grade... I had real trouble not to cry, because my dear classmates were just making fun of the movie while it was running, and I just felt really touched by the story...

[law]

i added you in return ♥
i haven't read much goethe but i tend to like the quotes i see. rilke is great and so relatable! i love poetry and i write it sometimes so i was curious. i wouldn't might hearing you music sometime if you ever felt comfortable posting it. there is a german artist that your description sort of reminds me of. they call themselves ' baldruin '.

i'm going to see if i can find dead poets society to watch soon but hearing your story, i can only imagine what it was like trying to hold back while you were touched so much. i used to cry at movies in school too and i'd get grief for it, haha.

[slayer_bon]

same age, living similar lives... you have good taste. I like a lot of video games. I can't really handle playing JRPGs anymore, but I have appreciation for some of the Final Fantasy series. my experience with The Legend of Zelda is similar... the games themselves are not for me, but still games I appreciate. I post weekly about my accomplishments in Old school RuneScape, as well as real life happenings... if there's any worth noting. my Discord and other infos are in my pinned entry, if you're interested in being friends outside of here.
compatibility on last.fm is only low, but that's ok. I really like video game soundtracks, vaporwave, and Japanese and Korean pop.
I'll add you, if that's ok.

[law]

thank you for the compliment :) i read your introduction and we seem to both like some of the same series from video games like ace attorney and katamari damacy. jrpgs are what i grew up with so i have an attachment to them even though i don't play them as often as i used to besides the ones that i've started and sometimes completed more than once so, i understand. it's a big time investment.

your entries seem relatable and i'll be happy to cheer you on through all your life happenings! i'll add you back now ♥

edit: i'll dm you my discord tag too!

[slayer_bon]

yeah, they started to drain me so badly. so I gave 'em up.

[law]

understandable! i don't play as much as i used to. i tend to just set about an hour or two aside when i can. getting immersed in the stories is usually what keeps me going. i do miss the days when i could grind for hours though.

[althea_valara]

Hiya! INFP here. I'm always on the lookout for more Final Fantasy friends. Currently I'm replaying FFVI and FFXV, and I'm a daily player of FF Brave Exvius.

My journal is equal parts squeeing over video games, sharing my knitting/crochet, and writing about life stuff (especially dealing with brain weasels); if that sounds good, feel free to add me and I'll add you back.

[law]

hello! the more the merrier. i am just about ready to start a new game of ffvi if i can find the time. i had gotten all the way to the magitek factory but then my ps3 died. luckily i have the gba version so i figured i might as well dive in. brave exvius looks interesting and i've been tempted to try it! if nothing else i can read about someone else's progress :)

i love the blog post in your userinfo and i'm happy to add someone who talks about their life and games so i'll add you back.

[oliphia]

Hi, I'd love to add you.

[law]

was there anything in particular that interested you about me?

[oliphia]

Our music taste is similar.. we're both scorpio. Just looking for new friends on here really as I've just transferred from LJ.

[law]

ah alright! i just noticed that your birthday is a day after mine ( the same as neil gaiman's actually ) and oh! you're from lj, cool. i was there for many years under different names. i'll add you back.

[furcas]

hello! i'm in intj as well, and interested in the occult and psychology. my journal is brand new (actually, i've got this account for a while, but decided to use it now). may i add you?

[law]

i'm an infj actually but getting to know an intj sounds interesting. i know what it's like to leave this place and come back. i don't mind adding you ♥
