Hello!
NAME: Brian.
AGE: Thirty-six.
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: Video games, Japanese language & literature, kagura, tea, reading, coding (sporadically trying to get better), fashion (mostly monochrome, minimalist, or what gets called "goth ninja"), tabletop RPGs (especially Exalted, Shadowrun, and Call of Cthulhu), cooking and food in general, and occasionally anime (especially iyashikei slice-of-life stuff), work, Judaism, or my hopes, dreams, and fears.
FANDOMS: The Legend of Zelda is really the only fandom I actually post anything about--I'm playing through all the games in Japanese in release order for practice, and I'm currently finishing up Breath of the Wild and eagerly awaiting the Link's Awakening remake (and also started working on a Zelda fanfic, the first fanfic I have written since I was 8
). Otherwise, I sometimes post about: Warcraft, Exalted, Tolkien, Kirby (the pink puff, not the comics artist), or H.P. Lovecraft.
LOOKING FOR: The kind of long-form, daily-life-interested community I remember from LJ a decade ago. Twitter is all hot takes, Tumblr is all memes, and Facebook is mostly articles. I like hearing about people's lives--if you only post about your fandoms, I'll be happy to read, but I probably won't have much to say. Unless it's about the Legend of Zelda, Tolkien, or Kirby--I have plenty of opinions on that.
WHAT DO I POST ABOUT: Mostly about my daily life, Japanese and coding (I'm studying both), anime (I'm in an anime meetup), theatre performances I go to, and video games (I write a long post every time I beat a game). Sometimes about religion.
SOME EXAMPLE RECENT POSTS:
ANYTHING ELSE: My journal is mostly public. I lived in Japan for three years, in a mountain town north of Hiroshima City. The personal feature I'm most proud of changes between my hair (long and red) and my voice (I've been told I should do radio or read audiobooks).
