Name: Senri

Age: 30s

I mostly post about: Books I read (a lot of this), fic I've written, cute, strange, and good things I have found on the internet. Life stuff (often under private lock). Fanfiction exchanges. I'm unpredictable and you never know what I might have in store for you!

My hobbies are: I'm rediscovering hobbies after having been in school (sometimes working alongside), but some things I want to pick up again and have liked in the past are: swimming, hiking, scuba diving, doing art (I was really into printmaking 10 years ago and would like to get back into it; also drew and painted), and writing (mostly fic but some original work and poetry). I enjoy trying new things and will do almost anything once.

My fandoms are: I love Attack on Titan inordinately and I will just be upfront about that. Also, the things I read fic for in 5th grade are things I still love now! Examples: Animorphs, Pokemon, Invader Zim, Young Wizards, Tanith Lee's books, Naruto, Blade of the Immortal, Gravity Falls, The World Ends With You, D.Gray-man, and Xiaolin Showdown. I have a soft spot for the Riddick movies. I read Dungeon Meshi recently and had a great time. I am following Blue Period and loving it, and another long-running series I'm looking to get into is Witch Hat Atelier. My favorite book I've read so far this year is called Venomous Lumpsucker. :D

I'm looking to meet people who: Are kind. Other fannish types are welcome, but we needn't share fandoms if we have other things in common (if you just want to booktalk you're so welcome on my blog!). Mostly my goal is to be kind to my f-list and make it clear that I enjoy having them in my reading circle. I'll enjoy reading about your niche hobby or your life or your day! Getting to know people in very different circumstances is one of the joys of having online friends imo

My posting schedule tends to be: Sporadic; at least a few times a month (I try). I read my list more often than I post to my own journal.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: No Republicans/convervatives/right-wingers/fash. If you harass or judge the morality of others based on their fictional tastes we should not be friends (my own journal content is pretty milquetoast and I tag my own writing pretty thoroughly but I dislike harassers on principle). While I said I try not to sweat the small stuff, I don't consider treating others respectfully to be small thing, concurrently sexism/racism/homophobia/transphobia/ablism/etc are not welcome on my blog and I try to push back on that kind of stuff in my space.

Before adding me, you should know: I have pretty strong political feelings and lean pretty left, but I don't tend to post about politics as when discussing politics with people I agree with, I end up often feeling pretty despairing haha, and when discussing politics with people I disagree with I end up angry. Also, I'm kind of shy, and if we connect I prefer that we just subscribe to each other until we see that we gel.

Same! Blue is the only game in which I've also completed the Pokédex! I never managed it again in any of the others. Lack of patience, most likely. Haha. I must admit I don't even know most of the newer Pokémon these days. Sure, the famous ones I know, but not every single Pokémon. It was so much easier when it was just Kanto! lol

Yeah the beginnings of Pokémon GO were awesome. People were super friendly and helping each other play. I ran into a rather helpless-looking older woman who was trying to catch her first Pokémon (she said she had her daughter's phone and really wanted to see what the hype was all about, lol) and I explained how to throw a Pokéball and helped her catch her first Pokémon. She was super nice. Those were the days! I miss them. These days the playerbase is down to the die-hards, I guess.
