Hi there!

[lordhellebore]

Name: Cato

Age: 41

I mostly post about: My daily life, musings about people & relationships, navel-gazing, fandom

My hobbies are: * books/reading
* writing - fanfic and original (still trying to get myself started on my first novel)
* theatre (never ask me about 18th/19th century German theatre if you value your time ;)
* music (esp. classical music, and all kinds of Metal, EBM, Dark Wave, Goth, Industrial)
* dancing to abovementioned music at Goth clubs
* crafts (I crochet, I am learning how to knit, and I still want to learn more than basic sewing)
* drawing/painting (I hope; I've woefully neglected it for the last 20 years . . .)
* baking (but who is going to eat it all?)
* my plants
* decorating and creating my own colourful vintage hippie jungle in a 2-room flat

My fandoms are: Too many, but the main ones are Tolkien, A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones, Earth's Children, Star Trek, The Terror, Harry Potter (minus JKR's hatefulness). I've also known to be dabbling in Pirates of the Caribbean, I'm a Karl May nerd (and need to write fic!), I adore Stephen King, and there's some shows/books that apparently have no/microfandoms, like Abercrombie's The First Law, and Rebecca Gablé's Waringham saga, for example.

I'm looking to meet people who: ...vibe with me. Some common interests are nice, too, but not an absolute must :) If we have interesting things to say to each other, I'm game!

My posting schedule tends to be: I used to post daily, but right now, it's around 1-3 times a week.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Being a right-winger or tankie, queerphobia, religious fundamentalism, classism, ableism

Before adding me, you should know: I'm neurodivergent (autistic, possibly ADD), I'm queer, and I'm doing my PhD in German literature. I'm the mother of an adult son (19) who's amazeballs, I've got a girlfriend who's just as amazeballs and has a great husband (poly here!), and . . . you'll find out more eventually.

Hi! We have some similar interests and mutuals in common. Would you like to be friends?

[lordhellebore]

Yes! And oooh, you like Harry/Luna? <3 I was so disappointed when that didn't turn out to be the route in canon... xD

[pianogurl330]

I do! I was disappointed too! Thanks for the add, adding you back! :)

[hashiveinu]

I'm a classical musician and a lot of my journal is devoted to talking about music. I'd be happy to add you.

[lordhellebore]

Yes, please! I'm glad you asked, because after seeing you around, I'd wanted to ask you ^^

[mucky]

I don't have much to offer you, but as a guy who also loves classical music and is interested in everything Weimar-related (especially Weimarer Klassik), I just wanted to say hi :D

[lordhellebore]

Everyone offers themselves :) You seem interesting and I added you.

[mucky]

Oh! Adding you back — I hope you find something interesting within. :"D

[liriaen]

I’ve seen you around since the days of LJ, back then in Potterdom… music wise, we should get along fine; too few gothy people round here, the blackly-disposed should stick together, nay? :)

[lordhellebore]

I do think I remember your username from back then! :) And more goth-y people are always welcome!

[liriaen]

Lovely! I’m looking forward to seeing you around. :)

[wraithmoon]

liriaen May I jump in and second that gothy peoples are too few? It'd be wonderful to befriend another dark-hearted soul. (Is it ok to add you?)

[liriaen]

Oh for sure! Gladly!

[wraithmoon]

My apologies in replying so late, but I've got you added :)
