About Me
I am a neurodivergent woman living at home due to mental illness. I earned a bachelor’s in creative writing, with a minor in film studies, several years ago. I have enjoyed reading books and writing fiction since childhood, and I also enjoy watching films and television when I have the time. Some of my other hobbies include working in various fiber arts (mostly crochet and cross-stitch, with occasional knitting), playing video games, and baking sweets.
I currently use this journal to update folks on what’s going on in my life. As such, most entries are locked to just my access list. If you want to make friends, that’s cool; just drop a comment on this entry and I’ll check you out!
One of the things I don’t generally post about very much is fandom-related stuff. I’ve been burned by toxic fandoms in the past (Danny Phantom and Doctor Who, for the curious), so I don’t count myself as an active participant in fannish activities these days. That said, I do still write fanfiction, and I enjoy rambling about my books and shows and movies from time to time.
My primary fannish interests lie in TRON these days, but I have written fanfic for Doctor Who and Pacific Rim in the past. I mostly just write TRON fic these days, though, and most of my fic from fandoms past and current can be found on Archive of Our Own (here is a [link] to my profile).
I don’t talk politics very often, but let it be known that I am a flaming liberal who does not truck with TERFs/SWERFs, Nazis, white supremacists/nationalists, misogynists, queerphobes of all varieties, antisemites, Islamophobes, racists, or general dickheads of any political stripe. Miss me with that shit.
Favorites:
Books
Authors: Robin McKinley (favorites include The Blue Sword, Pegasus, and Dragonhaven); Tamora Pierce (Protector of the Small quartet, especially Squire); Terry Pratchett (Feet of Clay, Going Postal, Thud!); Garth Nix (The Old Kingdom series, especially Lirael and Abhorsen)
Books/Series: The Anthropocene Reviewed, John Green; The Goblin Emperor, Katherine Addison; Iron Widow, Xiran Jay Zhao; The Murderbot Diaries, Martha Wells (especially Network Effect)
Movies
Beauty and the Beast (1991), My Neighbor Totoro, Pacific Rim, TRON, TRON: Legacy, The Grand Budapest Hotel, WALL-E, Crimson Peak, Pride and Prejudice (2005), Children of Men, The Fall (2006), Chungking Express, Run Lola Run, Into the Spider-verse & Across the Spider-verse; Star Wars in general (faves include Star Wars (1977), The Empire Strikes Back and The Last Jedi)
Television
Live Action: Pushing Daisies, Doctor Who (2005), Jekyll*. I have enjoyed but not finished: Community, Parks and Recreation, Agents of SHIELD
Animation: Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, Steven Universe, TRON: Uprising. I have enjoyed but not finished: Adventure Time, Young Justice, My Adventures with Superman
* I like most of Steven Moffat's work that I've seen, including his run on Doctor Who. (More lukewarm towards Sherlock, honestly.) I do not want to hear about how he's Terrible, Actually; I know all the arguments and I'm aware of them, but I have no intention of justifying my likes to strangers.
Music
I listen to a wide variety of genres and bands. I have a penchant for soundtracks (movies, TV, video games, you name it), as well as some dance and electronica, and some pop and alternative, too.
Bands/Artists: Daft Punk, Janelle Monáe, The Glitch Mob, Florence + the Machine, Pomplamoose, They Might Be Giants, Caravan Palace
Composers: John Williams, Michael Giacchino, Thomas Newman, Louie Zong, Joe Hisaishi
Albums: Discovery, Daft Punk; TRON: Legacy soundtrack, Daft Punk; How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, Florence + the Machine; The Electric Lady, Janelle Monáe; WALL-E soundtrack, Thomas Newman; Cosmos, Louie Zong; Spirited Away soundtrack, Joe Hisaishi; Stardew Valley soundtrack, ConcernedApe (Eric Barone)
Video Games
For the most part, I play a lot of Animal Crossing (all New Horizons these days, but I also loved New Leaf) and Pokémon (Gen IV to present). I am also a fan of the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons series, Stardew Valley, and Spiritfarer. I’m a big Legend of Zelda fan, but mostly by dint of watching other people play (I am terrible at fighting things, so… yeah).
So that's me. Again, if you want to make friends, just drop a comment on this entry and I'll check you out!!
