Age group: over 35

Subscription/Access Policy: Anyone 18+ can subscribe and have access if asked. 30+ is personally preferred, but open to any adult, honestly.
I lock anything related to IRL, photos, or more personal mental health ramblings behind access, so you won’t miss much cause everything else is fair game and public.
No conservatives and Christians.
I have no interest in incest or adult/minor ships, so I’d like no interaction with people who consume that.
Just be a nice and cool person, mate.
Main Fandoms: Right now? The Amazing Digital Circus, The Moomins, bit of Undertale and trying Delta Rune, and Delicious in Dungeon
Other Fandoms: Octopath Traveler, Pokemon, Yuri on Ice, Story of Season/Harvest Moon series, Marvel, Team Fortress 2, Ace Attorney/Gyakuten Saiban
Fannish Interests: fanfic, fanart, making and seeing peoples’ playlists for ships and characters, graphics and icons, edits (tiktok style), crack-memes and shit posts about characters
OTPs and Ships: I admit, they tend to change with the season, but right now?
Jax/Pomni from The Amazing Digital Circus
Snufkin/Moomin from the Moomins
Falin/Marcille from Dungeon Meshi

Kinda dabbled into Mettaton/Papyrus from Undertale for a time.
Phoenix/Edgeworth and Klavier/Apollo are my Ace Attorney ships
Favourite Movies: The Super Mario Brother movies, Deadpool & Wolverine, The Avengers, Good Burger, Promare, Kiki’s Delivery Service, and Princess Mononoke
TV Shows: mostly 80’s and 90’s cartoons. (Nerd about old cartoons with me?) A little South Park. Maybe some mind rot competitive reality shows like Rupaul’s Drag Race to play in the background. I also like Tokusatsu, like Kamen Rider and Super Sentai
(My favorite Kamen Riders being Kamen Rider Gaim, Kamen Rider Den-O, and Kamen Rider Fourze…)
Books: The Fire’s Stone by Tanya Huff and Between Mischief and Magic by Marissa Serrao. I am on the hunt for lesbian content, so recs for books are always encouraged.

Comics/Anime/Misc: Marvel (specifically Spiderman, X-men, and Deadpool comics), I like some DC too (Batman and Superman are a jam.), Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon), CLAMP (especially like Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa), Hetalia, She Likes to Cook and She Likes to Eat, Yuri on Ice, Pokemon, Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Anything else? I’m trying to be better about interacting with friends’ posts, so don’t feel bad if I’m not replying a lot; I tend to be busy or I see your posts and genuinely support you and feel useless on what to reply with. I’m also on discord if you’re more active there and you like to message. (Can get Line again, too.)
I’m a shipper and hopeless romantic, so don’t mind me shipping characters or analyzing and being fixated on my OTPs and favorite characters at the same time.
I'm a cat parent. I hope you like posts about my cat.
One of my interests when it isn't fandom is witchcraft, herbs, and Paganism. I'd love to meet fellow spiritual folks.

Jul. 14th, 2026 06:13 pmsapphicfairyoracle posting in addmeName: Pom
Age: over 35
I mostly post about: life, random things that come to mind so it might be my personal twitter without the character limit and have the ability to control my comments. Drawings and fanfic will come up once I have breathing room from classes.
As of right now, I have no TWs and just hide posts in a cut if they get too long. But I'm working on tagging content/trigger warnings now for future posts after today. Feel free to tell me if you have any TWs before adding me.
My posts are mostly public and will save anything IRL, very personal vent posting, or photos for Access only.
My hobbies are: drawing, making little memes or crack-y “shit posts”. I also am giving writing fanfic a whirl after years of not doing that. Creating and talking about OCs count as a hobby, right?
Love nostalgia and retro. Always down to nerd about 80’s and 90’s cartoons together. What’s your favorite?
I’m very into witchcraft, so spirituality is also important to me. I am exploring Celtic and Kemetic Paganism.
My fandoms are: Right now? Really into Moomin, The Amazing Digital Circus, Pokemon, Story of Seasons series, Evangelion, and a little bit of Undertale. Marvel when it’s mostly Spiderman, Deadpool, and X-men. Tomodachi Life has my Nintendo Switch in a grip. Old interests come back every once in a while. Delicious in Dungeon and Yuri on Ice have a grip on me as far as favorite animes go.
I'm looking to meet people who: Are also into the fandoms I like, and anyone else who also partakes in witchcraft. Fellow artists or writers are always wonderful to befriend, whether we write for the same interests or not. I love seeing creative souls be so passionate about their works.
My posting schedule tends to be: Anywhere from weekly to bi-weekly. Trying to post more. I'll also try to be more engaging with friends in the posts, if it feels hard to comment on my posts lately. I'm trying to be better about commenting on friends' posts more, as well.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: - I'm still learning when it comes to Paganism and witchcraft. And the different types of practices. I have a grasp on what’s closed and what’s open to practice. So if I'm ever exposed to misinformation, be patient and correct me with well meaning - not with malice.
- I love shipping, so I hope you can tolerate that I ship characters when they tickle my fancy. I’m a old woman-loving nonbinary, so anyone who doesn’t like slash (male/male or women/women couples) is someone I might not want to interact with.
- Be a fellow 18+ adult.
- I'm a little political. Sorry. I understand escaping from reality and doom scrolling, but as a POC nonbinary that openly loves women... I'm friends with other POC and LGBT+ people, so I do care even online. So rants might come up occasionally. (I will tag it, though.) Also why you might as well avoid me if you're conservative.
Christianity is a no for me due to religious trauma. With that said, anyone conservative is someone that I’d like to avoid. They tend to be the bigots we all want to avoid, anyway.
- People that like darker dynamics like incest and adult/minor ships, I would rather not interact with, please.
Before adding me, you should know: I'm on Discord if you're very active on there and would like faster access. I can give that upon private messages. But also know that I work during the day and then do class work as soon as I log off. So replies can be sporadic. And no servers, please. (unless we just make one for ourselves.) Used to have Line, if that's what anyone uses, I can get it again.

Hello again :)
Jul. 14th, 2026 07:04 pmyourivy posting in addmeMy friends list has gotten a little quiet lately, so I thought I'd see if I can find a few cool new folks ;)
Name: Tina
Age:old 38
I mostly post about: Daily life, mental health (always under a cut and with TW/CW), and everything that goes through my head. I do a weekly "What Are You Reading Wednesday" post, as well.
My hobbies are: Reading, listening to music, taking walks, going out for coffee, hanging out with friends, jigsaw puzzles, cuddling my cat, taking pictures, going to concerts, travelling.
My fandoms are: I don't really have any? I am a fan as in liking things, but I don't participate in any kind of fandom activities. It's awesome if that's your thing but it's just never been mine :)
I'm looking to meet people who: are kind, funny, empathetic and curious. I love reading about what fascinates others and makes them happy, and getting glimpses into others' daily lives.
My posting schedule tends to be: this month, I am doing an "Ask me Anything", where I answer one question every day which my friends have asked me, so I post pretty much daily. Outside of that, I aim for at least twice weekly - the above-mentioned "What Are You Reading Wednesday" and one general life update (usually on Sundays). I do take care to not spam you too much, though, and of course you don't have to comment on everything even if I post daily in July ;)

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: besides the usual intolerance/bigotry - and let's be real, who considers themselves a bigot, anyway - people who aren't understanding about mental illness and/or don't want their friends to post "too much negativity". While I try to keep things light, I also want to feel like I can be myself in my journal and not want to be anxious about where the line towards "too much" would be crossed, if that makes sense?
Also, I am neurodivergent which means that I sometimes put my foot in my mouth without realising it. This has caused misunderstandings to escalate into drama before which I don't want anymore. So please, if I ever say anything that offends you, point it out to me and give me the benefit of the doubt. I promise I never set out to hurt anyone and I will listen, apologize and learn from it.
hi all!
Jul. 14th, 2026 01:00 ammarycuntrarian posting in addmeName: Kat or Katrina
Age: 39
I mostly post about: My life, struggles and wins, mental and physical health updates, rants, I also talk about media like movies, tv and books.
My hobbies are: Painting, crochet, gaming, web design, all kinds of crafts
My fandoms are: Yellowjackets, Community, Legion but I don't know if I'm IN those fandoms, just love those shows.
I'm looking to meet people who: Are my age and want to connect over the same bullshit.
My posting schedule tends to be: Sporadic, I just got a new laptop so I'm trying to post more.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Bigotry, general fuckery.
Before adding me, you should know: My life isn't all roses and sunshine right now and I talk about it a lot. But also other stuff, so don't worry too much about.
hello again
Jul. 11th, 2026 10:23 pmhalley posting in addmeName: Halley. You can call me Halls or Hal too.
Age: 33 ♥
I mostly post about: I'm trying to get back into journaling after a long break. I always used to post about my life-- work, school, family and friends. I work at a library so I will probably post about books I've read. I'm currently taking classes at SNHU to get my degree in English & Creative Writing. I spend a lot of time with my friends and my sister, and I have a cat who is 17 years young. I also occupy a few fandoms that I might post about every once in a while. So yeah, the regular stuff, I suppose.
My hobbies are: READING, crochet and crafting, painting and drawing, playing video games (although I haven't made time for that in a while.) I love to watch anime and k-dramas. I'm also a big movie-goer, I like the feeling of being in a theater. I cook and try new recipes often. My first degree was in photography so I like to take pictures still.
My fandoms are: I'm not terribly focused on fandom posting although if I'm playing a game I really like, or I go to a concert or buy something fandom-related I will certainly mention it. I am big on Kpop fandoms and WWE right now. I have a life-long love of Final Fantasy games. I'm a Love and Deepspace player (although we're boycotting currently). My main anime obsessions are FMA: Brotherhood, Naruto, Sailor Moon, and Studio Ghibli movies. I love Steven Universe and Adventure Time.
I'm looking to meet people who: Are from all walks of life. I love to read and learn about other people's experiences and day-to-day lives. People who actively post and comment would be awesome. We do not have to have shared interests as long as you're open to communicate. I'm very easy-going. I started on LJ when I was 16 and posted there for years before moving here and then taking a break. During that time I made a ton of friends that I still keep in contact with. I'm hopeful and excited to meet new friends here again.
My posting schedule tends to be: Weekly or bi-weekly. 200-500 word average. I do have ADHD so I will very likely forget to post at some point, or get hyper fixated and post more often.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: 21+. I don't make a habit of talking to kids online. Please, no MAGA. AI "art" is a no go. Basically any brand of bigotry or racism will not be okay with me.
Before adding me, you should know: I practice witchcraft. I can be kind of blunt. I'm diagnosed with depression, anxiety and CPTSD but if I post anything related to mental health I will tag it so you can choose to read or not.

Jul. 11th, 2026 11:16 pmheartchrysalis posting in addmeName: Juliette
Age: Early 20s
I mostly post about: life updates, fannish things, current reads or book reviews if I’m feeling up to it, random musings, my sweet little dog, my writing process and its longstanding rival: Writers Block. Oh yeah; might also have a bit of a giggle at life’s annoyances. I try to keep things light, but I’ll be serious when needs must -- I don’t always have the sun shining out my yeah. Mental health is an important topic for me, too.
My hobbies/interests are: writing, reading, music, thinking, fanfiction, greek mythology, poetry, etc. I don’t really play video games but I’ve a fair idea about most; Resident Evil, Dead by Daylight, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, to name a few.
My fandoms are: Stranger Things, Welcome to Night Vale, Dead Poets Society, Percy Jackson, Twilight, stuff… (my memory is SO fickle but I’m sure I have more)
I'm looking to meet people: from all walks of life as long as you are kind and have a heart. Just people to coexist with, like huddling in the grass while experiencing life :-) Shared interests are amazing but not very necessary. I read just about anything.
My posting schedule tends to be: erratic. I’ve been on DW for years and I’m only just getting back now after Life with a capital L happened. Alas, this is the part where I say, “Guess who’s back?”
When I add people, my DEALBREAKERS are: the usual. Homophobes, racists, anyone who puts their opinions above basic human rights, anyone who uses gen-ai in creative spaces, anti-feminists, all sorts of discrimination, etc etc.
Before adding me, you should know: I am very passionate about writing and everything fannish. I like writing about people being loved right, kissed right, and fucked right. I love love in all its forms and glory, irrespective of gender. I think love is beautiful and everyone deserves to be loved not just well but properly.
The Graham Platner debacle. and the necessary death of white bro leftism.
Jul. 10th, 2026 06:48 amnumb3r_5ev3nI'm so tired of Leftist-identifying reactionary white men. I'm so tired of reactionary white men wearing Leftism like a costume.
I actually don't know if I even qualify as a Leftist anymore, because for the last 10-12 years these exact assholes have been overrunning the political space and the discourse I have existed in since the early 2000s, and telling me I am not one. That they are what real Leftists look and sound like, and that I and everyone who looks and sounds like I do are shitlibs.
We all know the type: aggressive, insecure bro types who mainly want to be able to smoke weed and have healthcare, And maybe they do actually intend for other people to eventually have those things too, if they are ever given power they want - but the really important thing is that we give them the power they want. These dudes are constantly talking down to everyone else and condescendingly telling us what's good for us, and how awesome it will be when we hand them all the power they want.
Maybe they say all the right things when conditions are perfect. But they sure do like to say slurs and lash out when provoked! And consent seems to be something they have no actual regard for. And they are constantly begging us to see white supremacists as poor woobies failed by the system and perpetual victims of the class war who are deserving of nothing but our eternal tolerance, compassion, and forbearance, instead of going out and reading W.E.B. Du Bois like an actual goddamn Leftist would. But then that would be "Identity Politics," which they think of as a bourgeoisie distraction.
A lot of the older White Bro Leftists like this are actually ex Ron Paulers who hitched themselves to Bernie Sanders's star when it became obvious after 2012 that Ron Paul's ship would never come in. And underneath the costume they try to put on, this is what they still are. Maybe they learned all the right talking points. But the racism, the misogyny, the entitlement? It's all still there. And it's obvious if you know what to look for and listen for. It explodes out of them the moment they get even the tiniest bit of pushback about anything, or experience any kind of frustration whatsoever.
I do not live in Maine (and for one very good reason, will never live in Maine) and so my opinion of Graham Platner was never going to translate to a vote for or against. But I never liked or trusted Graham Platner. The Totenkopf tattoo, and the fact that he had it for 20 years before going "haha oops" and covering it up with something else, should have been enough of a red flag. No one should be shocked at all by the allegations that have come out this week. We should all be nodding and going "okay yeah. There it is."
My litmus test, since around the early days of Black Lives Matter in the early 2010s, has been this: what does Black Twitter think of this person? But since I have mostly divested from microblogging platforms, it has turned into: what does Black Leftist Youtube think of this person? If Black Leftist Youtube does not think this person passes the smell test, then this person does not have my support. It's as simple as that.
I have had a few slip-ups following white Leftist youtubers over the past few years. But as far as actual candidates, the above litmus test has never done me wrong.

No one should be shocked at all by the allegations that have come out this week. We should all be nodding and going "okay yeah. There it is."
My litmus test, since around the early days of Black Lives Matter in the early 2010s, has been this: what does Black Twitter think of this person? But since I have mostly divested from microblogging platforms, it has turned into: what does Black Leftist Youtube think of this person? If Black Leftist Youtube does not think this person passes the smell test, then this person does not have my support. It's as simple as that.
I have had a few slip-ups following white Leftist youtubers over the past few years. But as far as actual candidates, the above litmus test has never done me wrong.
