Helloooo!! Painter and enthusiast :)

[razielim]

BIO: Gabriel, aka Razielim, 30s.
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: Fandom! Mostly Legacy of Kain (RaziKain) and Batfam (BruJay) but other recent ones are Strugatski novels, AtLA, Captive Prince, Carry On, Mistborn, Witcher (TV), ASOIAF. I'm a very visual person so the best way for mutuals to infect me with a fandom is Really Pretty Art, and maybe also some funny memes and a powerpoint presentation. I'm only interested in slash and gen relationships.
Painting! Mostly I just paint, I don't spend separate time studying, but I'm always looking for new approaches and insights to improve my work.
Reading/Writing! I read mostly fantasy (preferably either gay or minimal romance), nonfiction (nature, history, neurophilosophy, and books that help me grow as a painter), Russian literature (favs: Fathers and Sons, Roadside Picnic), and philosophy (mostly Nietzsche, Foucault, Deleuze, J Krishnamurti). I write fantasy romance typically, whether original or fanfic.
More generally, I listen to a lot of lofi chillhop mixes, Chopin/Debussy/Beethoven, Stromae, and Soviet/Russian post-punk bands. I bake a decent amount, play bass, and get really excited to practice reading German or French when I randomly encounter them, though I am usually terrified to type a reply in those languages.

LOOKING FOR: I like reading journals talking about interests and hyperfixations, even if I'm hearing about the fandom/interest for the very first time. I love meta!! Ideally, I would love to chat or collaborate with people about LoK/RaziKain/BruJay specifically, but those are becoming more and more niche every day (esp on DW), so I'm just looking to find people who occasionally talk about things I also enjoy. I also like reading/commenting on/stealing question memes. It's a fun way to get to know people better and build rapport!

ANYTHING ELSE?: I don't get notifications for new subscribers or pay attention to who has unsubscribed me, and similarly, I subscribe/unsubscribe at my leisure. I only notice that someone's a mutual if we talk a lot. I'm a very chatty person, I just like to chat about abstract concepts more than daily life, so I don't typically comment on people's personal posts.

hi adding you you can see my sticky post for more info take care

[razielim]

Thanks! I look forward to chatting sometime :D

[liriaen]

Would have run to glomp on you but then we already did. :D

[razielim]

It's almost like you and I are advanced individuals from the future or something. :D

[liriaen]

Oi vej, I'd have to disappoint you, I'm quite the throwback, actually. :)

[razielim]

I believe that's called "advanced in years" uwu :D

Ah, an eclectic taste in music and literature, I like that! :D Roadside Picnic is fantastic; also I never managed to watch Stalker completely, although I tried it quite often, haha: always (!) dozed off somewhere. I guess it's time to try again. ;)

You can have a look here at my profile, for I don't have a sticky post (yet?) on my journal. And dude, your art is awesome! Your self-portrait a nice mix of sketchy and handsome, I like that! I'd like to add you to my circle. :D

[razielim]

Hhhhhhhhhh, listen, I might not have dozed off during Stalker, but I have strong thoughts about it. Perhaps fans of the movie would have preferred that I take a nap that day instead of slandering the film as loathsomely sentimental. It would be cool to hear your take on it if you finish, whether positive or negative! I'm actually waiting for someone on tumblr to also watch it so I can hear their thoughts, whatever they may be. (Strugatsky are surprisingly en vogue right now. Niche, yes, but not barren.)

I looked! Let's circle! :D
