Name: Holly

Age: Mid-30s

I mostly post about: Shower-thought essays and musings, fandom, fan theories, world-building, reactions to media, drabble snippets, OC and character development, creative process, occasional IRL that's in a digestible form for the internet.

My hobbies are: Writing, art, paragraph roleplay, video games, reading, book annotation, note-taking theory, journaling, hand-sewing, crochet, knitting, playlist-building, theory-crafting, wiki-building and information management.

My fandoms are: Anything cat-related, The Elder Scrolls, Baldur's Gate 3, Dragon Age: Origins, The Legend of Zelda (Ocarina of Time → Twilight Princess), Silent Hill (1-4), The Evil Within/サイコブレイク, The Apothecary Diaries, Higurashi When They Cry, Hayao Miyazaki, anything horror by Mike Flanagan, anything by Guillermo del Toro, Asian horror, found-footage films, high-end animation.

I'm looking to meet people who: are preferrably 25+ in age, neurodivergent, share my fandoms, are open-minded and fun to talk with.

My posting schedule tends to be: Sporadic, due to fluctuating spoons and hyperfocus binges.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Anyone under 18, anyone supportive of America's current administration/MAGA/right-wing idealists, excessive political posts, crypto/AI/Tesla/entrepeneurial bros, religious evangelism or witnessing, animal cruelty, bigotry, racism, homophobes, transphobes, lore-policing, drama-llamas, unsolicited mental-health bombs (I'm your friend, not your therapist), overt neediness/attention-seeking, inebriated/intoxicated messaging, atrocious grammar and spelling (my native language is English), toxic behaviors in general.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm west-coast American (and yes, I would rather be anywhere else right now, but can't be), I'm AuDHD (progressively demasking after years of working corporate and burning out) and queer (AFAB genderfluid, pansexual; she/they pronouns). I'm 15-years-happily-married and monogamous. I'm very direct, because I would rather be honest than polite. I grew up in a household where expletives were every other word, so I hope you don't mind if I curse at times. My creative works are intended for mature audiences and are not intended for people who are easily triggered (I do try to tag accordingly, though, I'm not a monster 😅).

Hey there! We seem to have stuff in common. My current bio on my profile page isn't much use--it's under reconstruction--so here's a sort of summary. I'm autistic, a writer, chronically ill/in pain (yay fibromyalgia! lol), and AFAB nonbinary. And then some. I had just posted in this community the other day looking for other people, myself. I live in the USA too, and my trans-lesbian wife do wish we could get out, but we effin' CAN'T.

And then some.

I'm going to run over and add you. Hope you'll add me back. :)

Hiii! I'm 25+, not into purity policing in fandom, like Miyazaki and del Toro a lot (also love animation and occasionally trawl youtube looking for excellent short stuff), am not right wing, and generally hope to be kind to others. Care to give mutual subscriptions a try? I prefer to subscribe rather than grant access at least at first, as I lock more personal/sensitive/vent-style posts, and also subscribe to a philosophy that if we don't gel we can unsubscribe with no hard feelings.

Most of my blog is reviewing books and graphic novels I've read and stuff I've watched, and sometimes fannish posts about fic I've written. I'm getting more into the fic exchange scene and posts will come by about that.
