Hello

Name: Regis

Age: 46

I mostly post about: I am Bipolar. So, it varies. My mood, life and fandoms seem to be the main topics of conversation. Plus, my homosexuality is on topic so my post can get to be adults only. Since it's FRIENDS ONLY there are no warnings.

My hobbies are: making icons, video games, my movie collection. (PHYSICAL MEDIA RULES!)

My fandoms are: Doctor Who, various yaoi anime, Friday the 13th and other horror movies, mystery TV shows like Perry Mason and Columbo. I am also big on the MCU AND DCU.

I'm looking to meet people who: Other gay men and allies. I do not have much a support system at home. So being bipolar I tend to need someone to listen. Even if they do not comment. Also, if I get to be too much, just skip the post. LOL!

My posting schedule tends to be: daily/weekly/monthly/sporadic/etc I try to get at least 3 posts a week in unless we didn't pay the internet bill.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Homophobes, racists, MAGA and other Trump supporters.

Before adding me, you should know: I can be a whiner from time to time. It's my way of getting my feeling out. If that isn't for you, I understand.

Nice to Meet You ♥

Name: Jasmine ♥

Age: 30s

I mostly post about: my life, thoughts, my wins & lessons. I like to think deeply and analyze situations or people, and take time to reflect. I'm very much into self-growth, and focusing on a healthier lifestyle may include recipes, as well as currently watching and reading. Overall, it's a special place to connect with others.

My hobbies are: reading, dancing/listening to music, binge watching random shows, meditating, yoga, knitting, buying notebooks and not using them fully, researching vitamins, online shopping, baking, cooking and juicing.

My fandoms are:not really into fandoms too much anymore, however, if you enjoy it, I don't judge since I have moments.

I'm looking to meet people who: I'd love to make some new friends on here, as a LJ vet. I'm looking for anyone who wants to connect, enjoys commenting, and is active. I'm open-minded and pretty down-to-earth.

My posting schedule tends to be: Most likely weekly, and I'll be a pretty active commentor =)

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: not into the haters, homophobic, racists, politics-focused types - I spread love and that's what I appreciate in return.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm Canadian & pretty new to DW but definitely not new to journaling since I used to be on LJ for years. I comment and I am not shy. I'm looking to interact with anyone 21+. I spread love, I enjoy uplifting others, helping ppl through healing, and just being a genuine person. Feel free to add me ♥

Some of my posts may be nsfw, I'm raw & explicit sometimes, we're adults going through adult things lol.

(no subject)

Name: B or Bee (either is fine)

Age: 36

I mostly post about: Anything and everything, really. Questionnaires, creations (see hobbies :)), mind contents, articles,

My hobbies are: Sewing, jewelry making, self-care, fitness (beginner), cozy video games, photography (also very beginner), macrame, collecting stickers (I'm starting a sticker album!), restaurant/brewery adventures, Hello Kitty/Sanrio collecting (very minor hobby as I don't have money to go hard on it lol....or the space to) and finally researching/learning different topics is fun too.

My fandoms are: While I'm not super into fandom, I do like to make icons from games. A couple that I'm playing are Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Pocket Camp and Stardew, but I wouldn't say I'm into shipping or anything like that. I guess light fandom? I dunno lol.

I'm looking to meet people who:Hobby/creative friends who want a friendship and won't just quit on me when I go through a rough time. While I'm getting better, I do still deal with low mood, but having friends I can turn to when it get's heavy is wonderful. I will do the same for you.

My posting schedule tends to be: Coming back from a bit of a hiatus, I'll probably start posting weekly, until I get back in the swing of things, but I want to post every other day or every third day.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Mean people, those who are vicious with friend cuts, Trump supporters/the whole make America great movement,

Before adding me, you should know: See my "Looking to Meet People" please. Other than that, I can't really think of anything else.

Proper Greeting

Hi! Name's Saffron, but I go by Saff. Happy I found a wee community to peek into. I feel like I'm joining insanely late into the fandom, despite having been a fan since I was a toddler in the 90s.

My introduction to Sailor Moon was when the DiC version aired on TV for a while and I accidentally ran into a few episodes. In fact, the one were Nephrite meets his end in Naru's arms was the first episode, and I understood nothing besides him having been someone's boyfriend (I was like...4? 5?). I thought for the longest time that Naru was Sailor Jupiter, and that the Senshi had to defeat their boyfriends to get to the main villain. Mind you, I had not watched all the episodes, just parts of an episode here and there, and then never again until I was 12. By then I was living in Brazil and watching the Cartoon Network dub from there (which did not hide the fact that Fish Eye was a dude, and that also left a lasting impression on me).

Long story short, Sailor Moon has always been present in my life, I have loved it since wee, but I never actively participated in the fandom until now (and I have rewatched 3/5 of the classic series, gone to see the Super Live in March and started to RP in a Magical Girl MUSH as Zoisite).

I started to post some stuff on my side tumblr like sketches, and tried my hand on a dark fic that I need to revisit. Now I'm going back to LJ and older communities for fanfics and hidden gems I never got to read. Also have been collecting some doujinshi when I can find any that are specifically Shitennou or Amazon Trio related.

Yes, I have a soft spot for the villains. It's hard for me not to, especially finding out the implied backstory the Senshi had with Endymion's knights (I guess toddler me wasn't that off the mark lol). And that being (in my opinion) confirmed with the PC Engine game. I just love the tragedy of it all.

Okay, gonna go ahead and post two of the drawings I did recently.

( Dark Kingdom Zoisite tormenting Sailor Mercury )

( Kunzite and Zoisite )

I think you guys can guess what ships I have. Honestly I ship everyone with everyone. Hard not to, Sailor Moon seems to lend itself to that.

Anyway, it's good to meet yall, I hope to pop in with thoughts and chatters!

This gradually took shape across the parking lot from a local Asian fusion restaurant over 2024; between recovering from Hurricane Ian and the COVID quarantine, changing hands, and changing formats (from the mid-century Cantonese-American the original owners had served for forty years to a pan-Asian combination of sushi, ramen, and Chinese), they’d spent the previous couple years uneasily gaining their bearings.

The garden’s proximity to the street, along with the lack of any obvious receptacle for offerings, makes it clear that this is a more ornamental than devotional site. (A Web search indicates the presence of a local Buddhist temple, but the address is a private residence, and home worship services are for who they’re for, which does not include curiosity-gawking spiritual tourists.)

My guess is that the white-flowering shrubs are Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides), aka Confederate Jasmine, Chinese Star Jessamine, and Trader’s Compass, native to warm regions in South and East Asia, and widely planted in the Southeastern U.S. The flowers’ heady indolic fragrance is prized in perfumery, but I’m afraid I haven’t the right sensory range to enjoy them.
