[midousuji]

the "it's summer, i got my hat on backwards and it's time to make some friends" friending meme

if you're new to the concept of a friending meme, a general gist is that you fill out the form below, and then comment around to people who have similar interests to you, or who seem cool, or you've seen around and wanted to add to your social media circle, etc etc. request to add them on their social media and meet new people!

is your personal dw account open for friending?: Yes! There's not really anything in it right now, but I do have a plan on using it regularly for long-form journaling. It's something I want to get back into.


interests: Reading and writing are probably my biggest non-fandom interests. I'm currently going through a whole list of classics with the intent of doing my own close reading on the narrative (current book is To Kill A Mockingbird). This is just for fun, but it ties in to my major; I'm working toward a degree in Creative Writing because I love being poor. I write a lot of fanfiction that I never finish and it is my goal to at least write the first chapter of my Skies of Arcadia AU epic before summer ends. I enjoy astrology and tarot even if I don't necessarily swear by it; sometimes the stuff I get from it is exactly the advice I need to hear. Sometimes I draw (I'm not very good) and I like learning different methods to get more comfortable with drawing. Horror is my absolute favorite genre and I love anything that deals in it. I greatly prefer paranormal stories to slashers but I consume any and all of the media. Nosleep is basically just a list of bedtime stories for me. I love trashy TV, it's a terrible vice of mine. I'm a lesbian and I have a girlfriend, I'd love to meet other LGBTQ people if our interests align!

fandoms: Skies of Arcadia is my biggest fandom and has been for over ten years. I will love that game until my soul travels on. Recently, I've also rediscovered my love for Dragon Ball Z and tripped face-first into DBZ hell. Otherwise...

Current/Major Fandoms: Dragon Age, Legend of Zelda, Telltale games, When They Cry (specifically Higurashi, but I have Umineko on my computer for reading later), Batman: Arkham series, Fire Emblem, Rule of Rose, Simoun, Steven Universe

Minor Fandoms:Harvest Moon, Pokemon, Red Garden, The Cat Lady, Ace Attorney, Gatchaman Crowds, Mass Effect, Princess Tutu, In the Flesh, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, Orange is the New Black, Pushing Daisies, Game of Thrones/ASOIAF, DRAMAtical Murder (I know), Gravity Falls, Over the Garden Wall, Final Fantasy (mainly VIII, X, and XIII), Fresh Off the Boat, gay dating sims (bless you Winter Wolves), basically sim games of any kind, Junji Ito, Stephen King, just horror in general honestly

Basically I'm a big gaming nerd that gets really intense about things when I go through them but my true loves rarely change.

anything else?:



Be my friend.

is your personal dw account open for friending?: yes! there's a post that says "not adding" but if i give the a-ok first or we kinda sorta know each other, adding is a yes. should probably add that to the post at some point, LMAO.

also really need to work on typing out entries but i comment a lot otherwise. most of the time.

interests: mmmm, this is kinda hard since i'm not too sure. i really, really like playing video games (check out my steam!). i also really love music and try to listen to something almost every day! if i'm not listening to music, i'm either asleep or playing a video game tbh....or watching a video that required me to pause my music. some fav bands/artists are: fall out boy, my chemical romance, ayumi hamasaki, britney spears, aya, super junior, kalafina, buncha random rock/pop stuff, ETCCC. anyway, i also like horror/action movies, watching let's plays on youtube, mmorpg's, SLEEP, dragons, cats, the darn love live mobile app game, aaaaaaand other stuff i'm probably forgetting.
fandoms: currently watching: ansatsu kyoushitsu, hibike! euphonium, season one of love live anime, owari no seraph, punch line, and the puella magi madoka magica movies. other things i'm into are: skullgirls, soul calibur, tekken, durarara!!, evangelion, devil survivor 1 & 2, kara no kyoukai, inuyasha, gundam wing, kakumeiki valvrave, free!, monogatari series, the last of us, persona 3/persona 4, natsume yuujinchou, sailor moon, pokemon, dramatical murder, no more heroes, dragon age, mass effect, saiyuki, yugioh!, final fantasy x/x-2 + xii & xiii, tales of xillia 1 & 2, ao no exorcist, kyoukai no kanata, black lagoon, hellsing, haikyuu!!, the uncharted series, ANDDD....the tv show hannibal, buffy the vampire slayer, house md, ETC.

ABOUT AYA: this aya! i don't think many people know her music and it stinks because i love her! she's kinda grunge/punk rock-ish: here are some of her songs if you wanna listen real quick. i'm rambling but if you'd like her albums, i got them...

anything else?: i'm dealing with a really difficult living situation and i know i've been saying that for a long time but it's really serious lmao. i haven't explained it to many people nor made a "public announcement" of sorts explaining because i'm just not comfortable yet and i'm also super ashamed of it. this has caused me to become kind of.....closed off and anti-social to a great many of my friends and (the few) new people i've added. interacting in any way has become 10 times more difficult than it once was. however, recently (like a few months ago recent) i've been trying to reach out more......little by little.....i do want to talk, i do want to have fun....

so!! if you do decide to add the mess that is me, please be understanding of this. i've been trying to reach out again and not be so afraid but it's still hard. please have this funny gif as an apology for the above!!! T__T!!!

is your personal dw account open for friending?: Yeah! I've been meaning to write more in this journal sobs.

interests: cats, dogs, just cute animals. yet sadly i am like allergic so I can't really have a cat as a pet. sobbu. I can dreaaam the dreaaam.

I graduated college in December with my major of child and adolescent development, and am currently derping around and working to get experience.

I like watching anime, making amvs (though really slacking on that nowadays derp), playing video games, drawing, rping, and reading visual novels, though I'm also making an attempt to read more light novels.

I am more of an anime person than a manga person, so the anime has to really impress/intrigue me if I want to read more. Although I'm still a tad bit behind this season because I've been busy trying to catch up on Detective Conan (which I just caught up to a few weeks ago). After marathoning that, I also started Gintama and am staring at my long on-hold list going: I CAN TOTALLY FINISH YOU NOW. I'm looking at you Urusei Yatsura.

I'm pretty open with what I listen and watch like one of my favorite bands is Dead By April and just recently I got addicted to Taylor Swift's 1989 album sobs.

fandoms: pokemon, 07th expansion (higurashi/umineko/rose guns days/higanbana), sword art online, hayate the combat butler, yu-gi-oh, slayers, KEY, digimon, natsume yuujinchou, detective conan, grimm, once upon a time, gravity falls, seiyuu (mostly rica matsumoto), if anything just look at my myanimelist.

anything else?:

[epika]

I heard When They Cry and came running. Higurashi and Umineko are my lifeeee. Also Pokemon, Pikachu is my baby always and forever.

Seeing so much DBZ news makes me want to catch up to Kai in time for Super.

[epika]

Did you say Umineko and cats?

[epika]

Cats, Pokemon, Walking Dead, and Dragon Ball you sayy~
