intro!

Name: Liz

Age: 30s


I mostly post about:

  • anime: series/OVAs from the 70s through the early 00s (the Leijiverse, Ghost in the Shell, Sailor Moon, Evangelion, anything Shinichiro Watanabe touches)

  • pro hockey: Toronto Maple Leafs are my team, but I love hockey and keep up with all of it

  • music: slowcore, shoegaze, doom metal, IDM, math rock, visual kei, and post-punk are my sweet spots

  • Star Wars: X-wing, ABC Squadron, Thrawn, pockets of Expanded Universe/Legends

  • cultural theory: lots of Mark Fisher, Ccru pieces, Verso titles, and books/essays on the evolving relationships between humans and technology

Hobbies: researching new topics, playing Overwatch, reading (mostly nonfiction at the moment), being Chronically Online

Fandoms: To be honest, I've not participated in fandom extensively in the last few years due to internet toxicity. But I absolutely love Star Wars and I just ignore parts of the universe I dislike. I've also dabbled in Marvel Comics/MCU, Harry Potter, and Doctor Who (mostly classic , with the Second Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon being my absolute favorites)

I'm looking to meet people who: are nerdy but also positive. Even if our fandoms or interests don't heavily overlap, I'm always open to new things and new media; I'm just not open to fighting about ships, fics, etc. within fandom communities

I also prefer that most of my followers are 21+ but it's okay if you're 18-20. Not that I post a lot of NSFW content, but there are some occasions where I need to blog about extremely personal, often triggering things (and I'll always put it under a cut or preface with a trigger warning regardless).

Posting schedule: I'm holding myself to at least once a week these days, but it'll probably be more.

Dealbreakers: MAGAts and users that are generally spiteful/angry/toxic. Both of those may seem like a given, but ya know, gotta spell it out. If you're in a fandom and you disagree with me about an opinion, I'm happy to welcome your viewpoint; however, you should be respectful and treat it like discourse rather than being a bullheaded anti.

Before adding me, you should know: I believe Black lives matter, 2SLGBTQIA+ rights are human rights, science is fact (although evolving), and that everyone should have access to essentials like housing, food, clean water, and hygiene. I'm very Left but I will rarely post about politics; if anything, it'll be more socialistic theory and conceptual subjects. I think we've all had enough of bad political juju over the last several years and I don't like to add to the noise.

While the Leafs aren't my team, I've had a soft spot for them ever since Breakfast with Scot came out. They were the first major league team to acknowledge gay folx and allowed their uniforms & name to be used in the film.

The Sharks - crappy as they've been - are my team. :)

And I totally get it about toxicity of fandom. I've not seen much of it, but what I've seen, I've backed away quickly from.

Hi! I talk hockey, but unfortunately our teams are rivals... As my favorite is the Bruins.

They are a fun bunch! Season didn't end the way I wished it would have, but I'll admit I didn't cry because of their loss to the Panthers (which after their multiple losses to them in the regular season, I nearly expected).

Seems we have a lot in common, and I love hockey and barely have anyone to talk to about it. Friends? My Teams the Bruins though hopefully that won't dissuade you from becoming mutuals :)

Love your username, and we probably have some overlap in musical taste! (You're welcome to check out my profile page, since I STILL don't have a sticky added to my journal, sorry) :D Could you maybe educate me about slowcore, though?? I'm becoming too old for this shit, haha.

Also: Sailor Moon & Ghost in the Shell, yeah!
