Come for the introspection, stay for the emo throwbacks

[november_5th]

Name: Karmen

Age: 30s

I mostly post about: personal growth, trauma unpacking, character analysis, neurodivergence, identity, memory, and the messiness of being human. Sometimes it’s raw introspection. Sometimes it’s writing projects. Sometimes it’s emotional archaeology. Expect depth, questions, and occasional chaos.

My hobbies are: Writing, reading, exploring psychological patterns, long drives with curated playlists, casually reverse-engineering tech, helping others make sense of complex systems, data analysis, and overanalyzing fictional characters as a form of therapy.

My fandoms are: Buffy, Doctor Who, Veronica Mars, iZombie, Epic: The Musical, Star Trek, The Martian/Project Hail Mary universe, and anything weird, genre-bending, or emotionally resonant. I also have a soft spot for nostalgic emo vibes and anything that blends humor with existential dread.

I'm looking to meet people who: Think deeply, love honestly, write messily, and aren’t afraid of intensity. Neurodivergent folks, artists, writers, and anyone else who thrives in the liminal spaces between structure and chaos - let’s connect.

My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic but meaningful. If I post, it’s because I have something to say, not because an algorithm demands it.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Bigotry of any kind or cruelty masked as honesty. If you can’t be kind (or at least curious), I’m not your people.

Before adding me, you should know: I’m someone who craves depth over small talk. I’m working on showing up without needing to perform. I write honestly, even when it’s messy. I hold space for contradiction, growth, and grief. If you’re here for realness, reflection, and weird little moments of connection, welcome.

"A writer trying to find her words again." *swoons*

Yes, out of curiosity I peeked at your profile. Welcome to Dreamwidth, and I hope you find congenial folx here! I'm a writer (mostly fanfic at the moment--a Man from UNCLE novel to be precise), I'm autistic, I have various chronic illnesses/conditions/pain, and other things I have written in the past include memoir material about my experiences with all of these. I am going to add you, so I hope that's okay. I think we have enough things in common to make it work.

I read frequently, comment when something's interesting, and post anywhere from one to four times a week. Anyway, hello. :-)

Sounds wonderful. I love the community that Dreamwidth offers -- I was not expecting that when I joined. Happy to connect. <3

[flirtable]

Hello! You sound like my type of friend. May I add you?

[november_5th]

You may!

Hello!

[gatheringrivers]

Welcome to Dreamwidth!

You seem like we'd be compatible journalers, so I added you to the filter that shows you my intro post - let me know if you think we'd be compatible. :)

Well, well, well. A fellow spoon-deficient, system-scorching, fandom-saturated liberal goth nerd with trauma compartments and a healthy disdain for algorithmic capitalism?

Clearly, we’re doomed to be friends.

(I mean, unless you're secretly a MAGA plant sent to infiltrate queer-aligned Orville fans with IT backgrounds. In which case: bold strategy, Cotton.)

Adding you now. Let the glorious chaos begin.

WOHOO! :)

I have an About Me here: https://cassie-faith.dreamwidth.org/276.html it's semi up to date. Feel free to check it out and add me if you think we'd get along! :)

[november_5th]

Read it. Yeah -- we're friends now. Hope you're cool with that because I already sent in the registration paperwork. Friendship certificate should be coming in the mail in 6-8 weeks. (I know that's a while, but the wheels of beaurocracy turn slow.)

Seriously though, lovely to meet you!

[immournia]

Welcome!

Sounds like we're on similar journeys in healing. If its ok, I'd like to add you to see if we're a good fit :)

[november_5th]

That sounds wonderful. Thanks for reaching out!

[immournia]

No problem! Added you :)

Hi! I am Katie and WOW. Your intro resonates with me so much! I am also not a small talk person and highly value depth. Would you like to be friends?

[november_5th]

Funny story, in another life, long ago, I used to be called Katie.

I would love to be friends. <3

neurodiversity, dr who, VM and iZombie.. woohoo!

Let me know if you want an Aussie friend (and if your favourite doctor isn't Tennant, you get bonus points)

[november_5th]

I'll take an Aussie friend! I'm going to have to vet you by finding out YOUR favourite doctor though. ;)

(And what you thought of the newest twist!)

My fave is Tom Baker - I have a Baker04 DW shirt as well. With the rebooted, my favourite s Eccleston - so underrated. Dodgy sense of humour andvery protective... reminds me of me hahah

Haven't seen the latest series so no spoilers hah (I'm a bit behind)
