Name: I go by a lot of things but Lea is most common on Dreamwidth probably.

Age: 30s

I mostly post about: Video games I've played, books I've read, anime I've watched, and other fandom related things. I don't post about my real life much at all.

My hobbies are: I practice tea and like learning about and studying languages. I am mediocre at Japanese and have been trying to learn Russian but it isn't going so well. I play a lot of video games, particularly indie visual novels which I keep a record of in a separate com. My reading habits have dropped off since I was younger but I like genre fiction (particularly with m/m elements) and non-fiction when I have the concentration for it.

I also do a lot of hobbyist worldbuilding which is sort of like writing an encyclopedia that no one else cares about but you haha.

My fandoms are: Gaming in general is my fandom for the most part. I like talking about game design, trying demos, and so on. I do get "read all the fic" fannish sometimes. The fandoms I've been in are: Disco Elysium, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Banner Saga, Long Gone Days, Dishonored, Nu:Carnival, Dragon Age... I also follow the Overwatch League religiously.

I've been in a few book fandoms, namely Les Mis, and I'm currently still really into The Tarot Sequence books.

I watch anime a bunch but don't tend to read or write fic for it. I do love fan art though. Some favorites are Gungrave, Demon Slayers, Haikyuu, Chiharafuru, Escaflowne... I'm sure I'm missing some. It's a lot of shonen stuff most of the time.

I'm looking to meet people who: Like talking about books and games and shows and stuff basically. Maybe our interests align once in a blue moon and that's when we can have a fun chat. That's fine with me!

My posting schedule tends to be: daily/weekly/monthly/sporadic/etc Very sporadic. Sometimes multiple times a week, sometimes not for months.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: If it's all personal stuff all the time I probably won't comment much or follow back.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm pretty exclusively a m/m shipper and if I get fannish about something it's usually because I'm in it for the shipping. My journal is 18+. I rarely post adult material but I sometimes it happens.

I think we will get along! I added you.

Cool beans, will add you back!

While I do post a lot of personal stuff in my journal, WoW's been my main game for the past sixteen years and I do chat about my gaming experiences. (Its hard to chat about the lore, though, without anyone else on my list really sharing interest. I do have a running character list within my journal, too.) What's been your favorite part of the game/lore? And what have you played? (Do you still play?)

I've also dabbled with Dragon Age: Origins a few years back, and have a smattering of others games I'll delve into these days like the Diablo series, RS3, the original Wolfenstein 3D games, some classic NES/Sega games. I've tried my hand at DnD & MTG (online), too.

If its cool, I'd love to add you. I'm 100% ok with shipping and my journal is 21+ only as I do discuss various adult topics.

I had to get off the wagon near the end of Legion, mostly because it just sucked up my time like nothing else. I stared off playing Trolls and enjoyed them a lot, but at some point rolled a Nelf alt and got sucked into their lore for the most part. I played a Druid through most of Vanilla > Legion with a Shadow Priest alt. I'm not up on the current lore anymore but I still think of the game fondly and it'd be neat to see what people are up to nowadays. I hear this current expansion is pretty good. There were a couple of stinkers in the middle there.

Are you looking forward to the new Diablo? Considering their mobile game and just... everything Blizzard lately my expectations are very well tempered but Diablo one was one of my OG favorite games!

I'll follow you back!

LEGION! That's my second favorite expansion (and the one I returned to), I completely understand why it took up most of your time. What was your favorite bit about playing Druid? I mained a Blood Elf Spriest from BE to Pandaria, then took a three or so year break because of life. (I currently main a Night Elf Havoc Demon Hunter.)

Dragonflight is a fun expansion, I was happy to see that the timeline moved forward (it takes roughly five years after the events of Shadowlands) and see changes occur.

As for Diablo, I'm excited to see what they're pushing forward. I don't really do mobile games so I'll skip that. What are you most excited about Diablo?

I've added you back :)

Running into the Nightborne in Legion was definitely my favorite part. I loved that whole city. The zone design just felt so nice and lived in and I remember enjoying the plot even though the details are now super hazy.

I'm always attracted to hybrid type roles and I played a lot of PvP so the Druid and Spriest were both great for that. I spent something like 1000+ gold respecing my druid to help out with runs back when that was a thing haha. And I had a Feral/Resto build back when you weren't locked into a tree. I liked pouncing on people and then just when they thought they had me I had a swiftmend in my back pocket.

I don't know if I'm going to play Diablo. I don't think anything can really surpass D2, but I do enjoy the feeling of slaughtering hordes and picking up legendary weapons so I might keep an eye on it. My favorite thing in the old games was the music honestly and they have new composers now.

How is the Demon Hunter treating you? That's one class I never played. I think I did a few intro quests and that's it. They do look so nice though.

Suramar was one of the most beautiful, however frustrating, areas during Legion. I remember the opening questline and being amazed at the richness of the lore alone. I liked that there were technical Night Elves that had a focus on Arcane magic rather than Druidry.

I feel you on this. My current partner plays a Druid and he's done nothing but raved about it (and has attempted to push me to play the same but it's not a class I feel wholly called to mess around with). Spriest can be tough with rotation, though, but in they earned, "facemelter" in PVP. I had fun fear bombing large groups in BGs.

Oh shit! I remember when this was a thing!

Haha, thats awesome :D

Fair enough. I can't go into D4 too much for a lot of reasons (long story) but I can say there's a lot of refreshing elements to the game. I think its worth keeping an eye on. I also didn't realize they changed composers. I wonder who they worked with back in the day.

I've been playing DH since Legion and loving it. They're a solid class to play if you DPS and they're (now) pretty fun if you want to tank. (I haven't tanked too much though.) Their mobility is a game changer, on a personal level, because I was always that slow poke when running on my Spriest. But I remember wanting to play DH back in BC, when I started. I was so happy to see them as a playable class when Legion came out.

I added you! I think we have a lot in common :)

I've added you back, and love your layout!

Thank you! :D I only just finished it :)

So? Worldbuilding is a fun hobby on its own, whether or not you write in a setting or share it with anyone else. People build ships in a bottle just for their own amusement, this isn't much different than that. Most of mine is for writing, but it doesn't have to be.

I love talking about fandom (and video games, I don't play as much as I used to, but I'm still a big fan of a lot of them), and I like just hearing about the things people are currently into, fannish-wise.

Friends?

Friends! It looks like we do have some interests that knock shoulders with each other!

I'm interested in getting to know you

Hello! I'm not sure if you're still looking for friends, but we've got some interest overlap (video games, anime, genre fiction) if you'd like to add each other? :)

Hey, yes! I've added you! Sorry for the late reply, I've been on the road.
