Name:circii or bunnii

Age: 30s



Country: Australia



I mostly post about: My journal is very new, i think I decided to make it because I was feeling a bit low and just wanted to write about my feelings and interests and hopefully find like-minded people. I'm also trying to make my web experience a more pleasant one, so I like looking at journals and personal websites. Indie web, small web, that kind of thing I yearn for so I might share things I find! But so far, I like to yap about my daily life and my practice in fighting games. I just started a fight log so I can hopefully more clearly see my progress! I will probably generally just talk about other things like anime, video games and maybe I'll post art or photos taken on my digicam. Also I'm queer and figuring things out still lmao



My hobbies are: Currently I'm focused in on fighting games (granblue rising, but I'm also a street fighter and guilty gear enjoyer), working on my art, vtubing, crochet and the smallest smattering of baby guitar when I can find time after all that. Other interests that can come back into my rotation is language study (Japanese and Spanish), miniature painting, nail art, weightlifting, snorkeling (I dream of scuba/free diving tho!)



My fandoms are:I'm not deep in any fandom at the moment but I enjoy content from sailor moon, granblue, guilty gear, general DnD stuff, hololive, vshojo and arcane. I'm also a huge Lady Gaga fan. And a lover of My Chemical Romance.



I'm looking to meet people who: I think are cool! I enjoy reading other people's day-to-day life and their passions, might get me excited about something new , too! If we hype over similar things that's a tasty cherry on top ;9



My posting schedule tends to be: aiming for at least a few times a week.



When I add people, my dealbreakers are: if you don't support LGBTQ+, if you excuse any wars, if you support generative AI, you know if you lean in those kinds of directions - please don't talk to me.



Before adding me, you should know: I'm sorry if my post was too long! And I might be using this as a form of therapy (cuz therapy is expensive) so if I do post something that's a bit heavier, I'll learn how to put it behind a cut and maybe make it friends only. But I think I'll try and keep cheery here! I'm still learning how to use this site

Come for the introspection, stay for the emo throwbacks  

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.

TACTICS TACTICS TACTICS TACTICS TACTICS  
Yes, Final Fantasy Tactics is coming to multiple platforms on September 30th!

Caves of Narshe news article: https://www.cavesofnarshe.com/news/article/its-finally-here-the-ivalice-chronicles/

Square Enix official blog: https://www.square-enix-games.com/en_US/news/final-fantasy-tactics-the-ivalice-chronicles

There will be a collector's box full of goodies.

I am very hyped, because I have long wanted to play Tactics but lacked a method to do so (I do own the iOS version, but my phone is small and I can't see it.) I'm just trying to decide which platform to get it on. I could do PS5, original Switch, or Steam. DECISIONS!

myth, matches & me: a hello post  

Name: Danielle

Age: 30s

I mostly post about: life, books I'm reading (or re-reading!), music I'm loving, tennis matches I'm yelling at the TV about, and all the soft little joys in between.

My hobbies are: reading, writing, journalling, cooking, gardening, watching tennis, listening to music, doing crosswords, talking about Greek myths, collecting daffodils (not literally, just in spirit), and wandering around museums and libraries like a nerd in her natural habitat.

My fandoms are: Percy Jackson, Greek mythology in general, Taylor Swift, various tennis players (Aryna Sabalenka, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Jasmine Paolini, Qinwen Zheng).

I'm looking to meet people who: are curious, kind, thoughtful, and enjoy rambling about things they love. Fellow readers, writers, myth geeks, ADHD brains, and warm-hearted nerds especially welcome!

My posting schedule tends to be: softly chaotic, but aiming for 3–4 posts a week—somewhere between “routine” and “inspired flurry.”

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: bigotry of any kind, cruelty, or just generally being mean-spirited. I like my internet spaces kind and cozy.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a chatterbox when I'm excited, and I’ll probably mention Greek gods, tennis scores, and obscure historical tidbits in the same breath. I write with a lot of heart, and I love connecting with thoughtful people. 💛

Wishlist Wednesday  
Wishlist Wednesdays are intended as a catch-all for anything you'd like to ask for in a casual, low-stress setting. No need to create a separate entry to the comm (although you are always welcome to do that, too), just leave a comment with your request right here under this entry.

It can be anything. Are you looking for icons of a specific drama or actor? Do you need a beta for your fic? Do you want to know where to buy merchandise of something? You can ask for recs of any kind (fanfic, drama, novel, music, whatever), or even leave specific fic prompts that others might be able to fill. Or whatever else that you can think of. Right now we're still kinda experimenting with this format, after all.

Feel free to discuss wishes/requests in the comments. And if you want to fill a request, feel free to do so right in the comments, too, or make a separate entry to the comm.

And please also check out the previous entries!

Multiple wishes/requests are definitely all right, just post a new top level comment for each. It would make it easier for people who might be interested in helping you out. The only thing I'd suggest for now is that you hide possible spoilers in the usual ways:

Name: Ashley (she/her - transfemme)

Age: 36



I mostly post about: So I'm 2 years into my transition as a female, I'm pretty much woman except I can't land a job so have no friends, dates, nothing. I'm EXTREMELY stressed. I try to game to escape, but my mom purposely stresses me out while I do that, I'm in hell. I go outside only when I have to now, 'cause people treat me like shit. So my posts are mostly musings and psychological bs. You can see the shit I put up with on the first on my first page.



My hobbies are: Listening to y2k music, sometimes 90s music, playing video games, indie/y2k/multiplayer/remakes&sequals, and working out.



My fandoms are: Final Fantasy. I've played them all, though I haven't beaten every one. Will be getting more into Zelda when I get a Switch 2. The Last of Us (TV) and I've played the games. Gay shit in general.



I'm looking to meet people who: Nerds who don't get butthurt or threatened about me.



My posting schedule tends to be: Whenever the mood strikes.



When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Well, the exclusionary workaholic tools already aren't adding me, so I don't have to worry about anyone!



Before adding me, you should know: If you stop commenting after 2 weeks, as most journalers do, I will remove you so let's skip the unnecessary steps and just not add me if you're gonna do that, okay?

Hello! I'm new in here, and it feels lonely  for now. I'd love to start getting to know people, and grow my reading list.

Name:
Laura

Age: 40s

I mostly post about: my daily life, things that happen (mostly ordinary and mundane), my thoughts, or my daily activities. I also love to post photos. I'm a psychologist, so I won't rant about work or share details about that for confidential reasons, but I might occasionally talk about my work in general, or things that concern me at the moment.

My hobbies are: outdoor activities (hiking, paddle surf), yoga and sports in general, scrapbooking, watching movies and TV shows, reading (especially graphic novels), playing videogames 

My fandoms are: I'm not really active in fandoms right now, but I don't have any problem in adding you if you're into them, as long as that's not the only content of your journal

I'm looking to meet people who: basically I'm open to meet anybody who is willing to interact. I'm a very open minded person, I like to get to know people and know more about what their life is lilke. I love journals that talk about mundane things, I find comfort in daily life and routine.

My posting schedule tends to be: I guess I'm going to post several times per week. My journal is new and I haven't added friends yet, so I might post more when I add people. 

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: racism, homophobia, and in general people who are mean to others. 

Before adding me, you should know: my account is very new, so you won't see much content for now. Please, don't let that make you think I am not an active person or a person who is not going to post, is simply that I just joined DW and is all still a blank page for me (and this can be pretty scary). I used to be a huge poster on LJ years ago (I had an active account there for years), and I really miss to have a space where to share my thoughts and daily stuff, and also read about other people's life. I have accounts on other social medial sites, but none of them is giving me the kind of connection and safe space feeling that I find in places like this, so that's why I decided to go back to journaling.. I miss all the connections I made back then through LJ, and I'd like to find a place I can call home here in DW as well.

On a last note, I was polvodestrella in LJ. I don't have access to that account anymore, and I don't know if anybody from my flist back then in there is in here and reads this If this is the case, feel free to add me back, I'd love that

Did You Make a Thing?  
This month is almost over, so, let's hear it. *g* How did it go with your fannish creativity?

Did you manage to make a thing?

Created fanart or made vids? Wrote fic or meta? How about picspams, link collections, character mood boards, themed playlists, promo posts, or whatever else you create for fannish enjoyment?

Here's the place to share it with us! Leave a link in the comments, or elaborate on it as much as you want.

waving from a land far, far away.  
Name: Syrene

Age: 37

I mostly post about: WRITING. No, honestly, 99% of my entries will talk about what I'm working on currently (the chances that it's historical fiction are good), what plans I have for writing, my story ideas (it's mostly original, once in a while fanfic) and asking for input and/or help with stuff I'm doing, writing-wise. OTHER THAN THAT, my posts are about everyday stuff, some family drama which is an ongoing issue, health since I broke my ankle very badly in January and still am in a process of rehabilitation, therapy things and similar. But, yeah, 99% writing.

My hobbies are: Writing, Dreamwidth roleplaying, obscure Japanese musicals (Takarazuka), watching ballet and reading/doing a lot of research, making icons (I'm not very good at it, but it's a nice pastime) and spending way too much time on Discord.

My fandoms are: A lot of classic literature (Sappho, Dumas' The Lady of the Camellias, Mishima's Spring Snow, Vivien's A Woman Appeared to Me) and other literature (big Murakami and André Aciman fan), plus some ballet fandoms - I call myself the Queen of Obscure Fandoms, because most of my fandom participation is in fandoms where I am the only one or one of a few who have uploaded fic to AO3. I used to be very engaged in the community around the Royal Danish Ballet and attended almost everything they put on, but after covid that has unfortunately changed, I am, however, still a big ballet enthusiast although from afar and with a more nostalgic approach to it, looking back fondly on old memories.

I'm looking to meet people who: Will gush with me about beautiful things (writing, ballet, films, whatever) and discuss writing stuff with me or literature and sometimes come with thoughts and comments on the rest of the things I post about.

My posting schedule tends to be: Generally a couple of times a week, once in a while several times a day.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Politics. I am politically invested, as most people are, but in my DW space, I just don't have spoons for all that negativity, worry and ranting. I've got enough of that in real life. So, my journal is as far as possible a politics-free zone.

Before adding me, you should know: I sometimes take long breaks from posting, due to mental health reasons, but I always come back after a month or two and will as a rule keep people updated on what went down. As part of writing about my RL, I will touch upon my relationship (I'm a lesbian in an almost 20-year-long relationship this year), past school and family trauma (though I never go into great detail), my interest in religion (mostly academically these days, but I grew up pretty Protestant Christian) and mental health issues like anxiety and bipolar disorder. If that isn't your cup of tea, you should probably not friend me.
