NAME: KB

AGE:
late twenties

INTERESTS:
linguistics, ethnobotany, ornithology, fashion (particularly EGL), witchy stuff

HOBBIES: the usual, like playing video games, watching stuff on the boob tube, reading anything i can get my hands on, hiking, etc. other assorted grandmacore nonsense like drawing, knitting, baking, and gardening. i was getting into herding but then covid happened T__T

🎶THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS(in no particular order)🎶: okami, FF9, FF10, the sandman, alice in wonderland/through the looking glass, studio ghibli movies, tsutomu nihei’s work (KNIGHTS OF SIDONIA IS FINALLY GETTING ANOTHER SEASONS ASDFGGJLTRIRHFJS), agalloch, alcest, dogs, birds, death stranding

LOOKING FOR:
folks to interact with and befriend. i’ve actually been on this website since 2011 and have made a handful of good friends, so that’s a trend i’d like to continue if at all possible. despite the list above, i’m not active in fandom these days, so i’m not looking for journals strictly centered around it.

ANYTHING ELSE?:
my journal is mostly about my daily life, with the occasional Emotional Vomit ™️ rambling. i recently got back into overwatch and i’ll probably be hopping back on to FF14, so if you would rather connect through either of those, give me a poke so we can exchange handles c:

Hello, I’m into witchy stuff, hiking and all that “grandmacore nonsense” you spoke about. XD

My journal is mostly about happenings in my life—at the moment it centers a lot on our in-progress move from The Big City to House in a Forest, and navigating life with a 2 year old.

My journal is all public so you can see if it’s of any interest to you ^_^

Oh, but you’ve done herding which is awesome! I eventually aspire to have a small flock of sheep (meat and wool, maybe for cheese, and to keep the pasture from overgrowing), but I want to settle on our property for a couple of years first. I kind of don’t really want a dog (I like dogs, but they tend to scare off the wildlife and why would I live in the forest if I didn’t want to see the wildlife?), but everyone basically says it’s required if you have a house in the country for security if nothing else and the Mr is keen to have a dog so maybe a herding dog will be in our future XD

I super like Alcest - they were the last band I saw live before the lockdown! - but whenever I think of them, I inevitably have to think of Peste Noir also, and that makes me sad. I know that Neige has spoken about this a lot before and that he was 15 at the time, but I get sad thinking about it. I mean, I'm awful, because I still listen to early Burzum, but it's like constantly there in my mind.

tl;dr I love black metal, but it's really not easy somedays.

Also: FFIX is hands down one of the best Square games ever made.

I get you, I get you, it's a fucking kick in the teeth. But Neige is definitely better than some, like at least he addressed it. I was really into Audrey Sylvain's solo stuff for a while - she was on a couple of Alcest records too - but she was also in Peste Noir for a very, very long time, long enough to know basically how Famine felt about such issues. I'm so miserable about it, because a lot of the time, I can make excuses, and I feel like there's a weird delight in me liking early Burzum, because, being queer and Jewish, I'm exactly the kind of person that Varg Vikernes would not want listening to his stuff, but some of the stuff after all that is just sad.

I guess we shouldn't talk about why Agalloch broke up. :p

I feel awful, because I love this genre, I love the rawness, the weight of the sound, I love the great shadows it casts, but I feel like there's a bitter little knot of people who misinterpret the idea of universal disgust with the human race as an excuse to voice their petty prejudices.

UGH.

But I'm super happy to meet you! I'm sorry for wading into your post with my own sadness about the genre/scene.

Hahah, that meme is so absolutely spot on. This is the true spirit of black metal in 2020, lol.

The man is such a joke. sigh Me and a colleague at work had a look at that role playing game he made (it's basically racist!Lord of the Rings) and there are a race of people/enemies who are clearly based on Jews who all have a +1 to sneak ability, and ever since I saw that, whenever I get caught not doing my work I steadfastly cite my +1 sneak ability as the reason.

Hey there! Linguistics, ethnobotany, baking, gardening, and hiking are all interests of mine. I minored in linguistics in college, and used to forage a lot when I lived in the country (still have my eye on some pawpaws in the local park system once fall comes).

I also blog about daily life, both personal and mundane, with an extra helping of Emotional Vomit since the pandemic started.

The only mushrooms I've foraged are morels - otherwise I've never been confident enough about an ID to be sure I'm not about to poison myself.

I also mostly blog about my daily life, with the occasional foray into video games (I post a review of every game I beat and just got into FFXIV for the first time), Judaism, Japanese (I taught English in Japan for a few years), anime, and food.

Also, wait, Nihei Tsutomu did Knights of Sidonia??

I really loved BLAME!, so if there's any element of that in any of his new work, I'm in. I know I had friends who liked Knights of Sidonia a lot, so I should check it out!

My wife is an ornithologist so I'm very bad at it, but good at pretending I know more stuff than I do! I also like all the grandmacore stuff, that's a great term... gardening, crocheting, baking, etc. Happy to add you - I'm also a "mundane day-to-day stuff" poster.

I'm sure you can identify more than like 5 birds so you're ahead of me!

I also like FF14 and black metal. I mostly post about gaming, sexuality and opinion. Add?
