'Ello 'ello.

[evenstar]

Name: Arwen

Age: 21+

I mostly post about: media I've consumed and has consumed me, non-very-personal random life bits, either joy or angst (or both) about writing (or writer's block), various creative pursuits, my animals, my studies, and music I recommended, because mp3 sharing never died, dammit. Spotify whatify?

My hobbies are: amigurumi/crochet, collecting/customising Pullips and other Asian fashion dolls/BJDs, sashiko/kogin, calligraphy, singing, writing, linguistics, onomastics, journalling, cosmetics, tarot and general cartomancy, learning languages, attempting to learn to draw,  making static websites, being highly critical of Web 1.0 nostalgia, and coffee. (What do you mean, that's not a hobby?)

My fandoms are: Tolkien's Legendarium (Middle-earth mythos) in general is the sempiternal love I always return to no matter what (I'm that one hapless nerd who taught herself elvish just for kicks and giggles, also I love The Rings of Power); currently also digging Good Omens, Our Flag Means Death, the Aubrey/Maturin series, and the Temeraire series. Kind of always on a low-key Manic Street Preachers kick, as well, if bandom counts? ♫

I'm looking to meet people who: are into similar fandoms or have similar interests, want to share music, want to rec good fantasy reads, or just want to make more friends. I was having the time of my life on Twitter in the Rings of Power fandom until the Muskpocalypse happened, so I do miss that dreadfully.

My posting schedule tends to be: ...erratic, honestly? Sometimes I'll post daily, sometimes there'll be week-long gaps. It depends on various factors (offline life, studies, health, Australian internet being a giant ball of fail, how much something has eaten my brain, so on so forth).

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: classists, racists, ableists, abuse apologists, fascists, TERFs, those who break friends-lock for any reason, and people who don't have the sensibility to scroll past fandom pairings they don't like instead of causing a massive fuss.

Before adding me, you should know: I have a couple of disabilities/chronic illnesses that effect my quality of life -- I may or may not go into details about them on friends-locked posts -- but don't effect my quality as a person or friend. And I'm horrifically shy, but trying to get past it. Your kindness is deeply appreciated. ♥ (Also, I'm in Australia, so I'm 10+ ahead of GMT, hence keeping what seems like weird hours. I live in the FUTURE! :D It looks pretty good from here...)

And I am of the firm belief that yes, pineapple does belong on pizza.

Hi!

I'm over 40, queer, trans [he/him], disabled, autistic, owned by cats. Socially awkward introvert, trying to come out of my shell and people more. I curse like a sailor but if you're OK with that...

I love Tolkien a normal amount - I haven't watched Rings of Power but I don't judge people who do [I know people can get gatekeep-y about it].

I also like pineapple on pizza.

I'm American but keep weird hours [non-24 sleep disorder].

If you would like to add me, feel free, if not no hard feelings and have a lovely holiday season if you celebrate anything.

[evenstar]

Fellow cursing-like-a-sailor-queer-socially-awkward-introvert fistbumps! You sound pretty damn cool. :D

[ex_flameandsong751]

Awesome! Welcome aboard.

[evenstar]

(also, you're a Maglor fan?! gfjdksafjd;ka excellent taste, sir, excellent!)

[ex_flameandsong751]

Oh my LORD don't get me started about Maglor or I will be here for days. He is my Blorbo of Blorbos. [I can't believe I use the word 'blorbo' now, but here we are.]

[evenstar]

SAME. I'm in the middle of making a fanlisting for him and writing a so-implausible-it's-crack-fic wherein he is one of two central players and just. Yep, full on blorbo status. ALL the feelings, A L L of them.

[ex_flameandsong751]

I would love to see this.

I have... a lot of Maglor fic. A lot. You're not under any obligation to read it [a lot of it is porn, putting it bluntly], though there's some crack, like one of my current WIPs which I'm trying to wind down before the holidays has him doing OnlyFans. This is what I do with my life. Yes.

[cassildra]

You seem very cool! Mind if I add you? <3

[evenstar]

Not at all! ♥ Lovely to meet you!

Quenya or Sindarin? It's been a long time since I was in the fandom, but people are still circulating an essay I wrote about Sindarin almost 20 years ago.

[evenstar]

Both, but a much stronger concentration on Quenya, especially lately. Which is odd considering I'm learning Welsh at the same time, but hey! 🤣

[hashiveinu]

I'd be happy to add you even though I don't do fandom now.

[evenstar]

It would be lovely to have you along!

[earthspirits]

Looks like we share several interests (including writing / books, witchy things, art, tarot, dolls and their customization, etc.).

Would you like to add each other to our mutual circles / subscriptions?

Thanks!

[evenstar]

That would be excellent! Always glad to meet other tarot friends for sure :D

[earthspirits]

Thanks! And just added you back. : )

[lordhellebore]

Hey heyyy, another pizza heretic here :D Love Tolkien as well - but I never quite got around to learn either Sindarin or Quenya - and I still really need to read the Aubrey/Maturin series (so far, I've been more the "Hornblower" and "The Terror" kind). I've made lots of amigurumi for the addorted family kids ^^ I'd like to add you :)

[evenstar]

Ooh, funny you should mention "The Terror"! I'm yet to read the book but the TV series only last night grabbed me by the throat on a completely random watching, so I fear another fascination may be on the horizon. Also, pizza heretics will inherit the Earth! ...or just the delicious pizza, I'm okay with either :D I'd love to have you along!

[lordhellebore]

The books is quite different from the show, but I did love it. And what a great coincidence! *adds*

[bluewinged_songbird]

Oh, excellent Galadriel icon! I love Rings of Power (and the Legendarium in general), though I don't post here much. Just wanted to let you know you seem very cool.

[evenstar]

Thank you! ♥ I adored her beautiful, flawed portrayal in ROP and Morfydd Clark is just so lovely, I can't even.

[pianogurl330]

I also love Tolkien and am loving Ring of Power. Would you like to add each other?

[evenstar]

That would be excellent! :D Lovely to meet you!

[pianogurl330]

Awesome! Thank you! Nice to meet you too!

[anonne]

You have a great list of interests – I'd love to add you if that's ok?

[evenstar]

Absolutely! ♥ Happy to have you along!

[virgosplaining]

I already wanted to add you and then the last line just sealed the deal. *highfive* I also like crocheting, writing, language and coffee -- because it's definitely a hobby in my world :)

[evenstar]

Oh, brilliant! :D You sound amazing, lovely to meet you!
