I hear they do car commercials in Japan!

Name: Maeve
Age: late 20s
I mostly post about: fanfics, fandom events, my personal life and hobbies, the many things I watch/read/participate in some way.
My hobbies are: writing, reading, watching series and movies, learning languages (currently trying to teach myself Korean!), art and crafts (currently trying to teach myself how to use oils in mixed media works), cooking, listening to music.
My fandoms are: My interests go far and wide and you never really know what I'll be fixated on on any given day, but here's a list of fandoms I'm currently active in some form:

Sense8
Teen Wolf
Arcane/League of Legends
9-1-1
The Raven Cycle/The Dreamer Trilogy
Doctor Who
Merlin
Interview With The Vampire (2022)
Figure Skating
Squid Game
Shadowhunters
Blocco 181
Deadpool + other characters in the Marvel Universe

I'm looking to meet people who: want to engage in fannish discussions, rec each other fics/books/music, anyone who's interested in polyamory and polyam shipping and would like to talk about shared interests or tropes (tangentially related, but I co-mod polyamships , holly_poly  and I run fourormore ). And writers! I'd love to make new writer friends!

My posting schedule tends to be: Sporadic. I post on my journal much, much less than I comment on posts or engage in comms.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
Right wing rethoric (See: LGBTQIA+phobia (TERFS go die), Racism, Xenophobia, anti-revolutionary rethoric with no basis in reality).
Character bashing (I love to be a hater just as much as the next guy, but if your whole schtick is hating on one character, then pass).
Harry Potter and related fandoms.
Sam Smith and Taylor Swift (specifically "gaylor" fans) (can we be friends if you like either? sure, but please don't force them on me because if I'm singling them out is for a reason).

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a leftist through and through. You can even read it in my fics if you know what to look for. I'm a feminist and TERFS and SWERFs are definitely not it. You can try to convince me otherwise but you will waste your time. I love fannish activities and they bring me joy, but I don't shy away from a political discussion, I haven't been involved in local politics for over 13 years for nothing. Sometimes I will post in languages other than English, feel free to ignore those posts. If they bother the living daylights out of you, I will not be offended if you leave. Also, I make too many vine references. It's 2024, I should be over it by now.

Hello! My name is Jess! I am also a writer and creator of a comic I've been working on and off for many years! I've had a hard time painting in oils but I do like water colors and acrylics. Also I am a big leftist. I don't post much political stuff but I do support the more liberal and left side of things in life! What other crafts do you do? I'll add you! :-)

[maevedarcy]

Hi, Jess! I also don't post much politics in here but I feel like it's only fair people know immediately. I know I can't last an afternoon without mentioning something that outs me anyway.

I'm currently super into painting but I have very limited time because of RL, so I'm a bunch of unfinished paintings in a trenchcoat, really. I also like sculpting with clay or plaster (mostly small knick knacks and such. I haven't made a big sculpture since high school), but again RL doesn't allow me much time for that lately. Now that I think about it, that sounds really sad lmao I promise I am a person and not a bot.

[a_natural_beauty]

Yeah, it's whatever you are comfortable with.
Ooohh, sculpting sounds like a nice way to spend an afternoon!
Oh I believe you! RL has got me so busy this last week, it was rough to be honest. But I'm hoping next week will be easier and I'll have more time to do art related stuff. :-)

Hey there! We don't have many fandoms in common (though I was delighted to see Ronan Lynch mentioned on your profile, having finished the Raven Cycle for the first time very recently :D), but I always enjoy talking about writing, and have tremendous amounts of fun with OT3+. My journal is slightly quieter at the moment and for the next few weeks while RL slams me, but I expect to be back on the saddle and talking about writing a whole bunch again soon :D See what you think!

[maevedarcy]

DID SOMEBODY SAY RONAN LYNCH? nah jk I'm normal about Ronan Lynch and The Raven Cycle in general (unless...). I definitely don't think about these books often or have a 30k WIP where I make them all a polycule or anything. I like TRC a normal amount (lie)

If you ever wanna discuss TRC or The dreamer Trilogy, just give me a shout, I'm pretty much always down to talk about themes and motifs

I love that you post other ways to engage with comms on DW because I sure could use more. I've been lurking for almost two years and I'm only now finding my footing.

[vriddy]

Aaah that sounds awesome :D I opened the AO3 page for the polycule as soon as I finished reading the series, although I haven't started yet - I seem to be in a book-reading mood lately, but I'm sure I'll cycle back to reading fic soon enough :D Best of luck with your WIP, it sounds like an amazing time!!

[maevedarcy]

oh my god if you do end up reading ot5/6 fic pls send recs hahaha maybe I've read it already, maybe not, either way, I get to relive a moment with the polycule and smile :)

[desecrets]

hello!

we don't have a huge number of fandoms in common but i did spot a couple (my - now slightly old - post is here if you wanna take a look!). generally im always looking to add people who write fic/participate in fandom and enjoy talking about fannish things! :)

[maevedarcy]

I'll add you! For a fandom that old, I don't find many fans of the Vampire Chronicles in the wild these days. Should I also comment on your post on your journal?

[desecrets]

Oh that's so funny, I've been having the opposite experience -- having been in the fandom for going on 20 years while it was tiny, I feel like all of a sudden everyone is a fan! :'D

No, that's all right! I'll add you back!

[toothpastepancake]

Hey! Sorry to comment on a literally one month and one day old post, but I've seen you around Dreamwidth and you seem pretty cool!!! I'm a DW/SH/Poly ship fan too, and a writer, and a leftist :) It's nice to meet you :)

[maevedarcy]

heyyy! nice to meet you too! no worries about the late comment. What is the internet if not a place where the past and the present meet? I subscribed! If you end up subscribing, I hope you have fun with my posts all over the place.
