2020 Friending Meme

[st_aurafina]

This helped me a lot in early 2017 when Trump had just been elected, and I am hoping we can get the same feeling going again, after the UK election was such a shock.

Connections are important when it feels like the world is getting darker. Fandom is a huge and strong network of people. We don't always get along, but we're stronger together.

Make new friends, reconnect with those who have drifted, enlarge your circle, and know you are not alone.

ETA on Sat morning AEST: This text box was functionally busted a few hours ago, so if you grabbed the code then, you might have an image with no link. It's fixed now, with all new alt text for screen readers. If your promo link is just an image, please replace the code with what's in the box now. Thanks for all the posts, btw! Giraffes popping up everywhere.

DW username: vulcanrains
Preferred pronouns: They/Them
Other platforms (tumblr, twitter, etc): Just DW
Active/primary interests or fandoms: My current fandoms are Gentleman Jack, Good Omens, Carnival Row, MCU, War Of The Worlds, His Dark Materials, and anything with Keira Knightley, Natalie Portman, Chris Evans or Mark Ruffalo. I grew up on Star Trek. I have major crush on Cara Delevingne. I'm a sucker for a period drama. My favourite books are Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice & Matilda. I fucking love Jane Austen and books are my best friends
I love socialising, playing tennis and football, cycling, dancing, swimming, yoga, taking long showers, parties, listening to music, striking up conversations with random people, playing board games, rearranging the furniture in my flat, putting on super soft comfy pjs and hiding under a fluffy blanket with a book.
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: I'm a huge fan of DW's 'random journal' feature and happily comment and talk to people
I post about: Pretty much anything that goes through my head - books, movies, tv, sport, sex, music... with large doses of all things positivity and kindness
I post/check my feed: I'm aiming for once or twice a week
I want to find people that post about: their lives and loves and passions and what's important to them.
I am most interested in interacting with people on: DW
My blog is: public
Anything else you need to know about me: I am female, a tomboy who loves pretty things, and queer. I have ADPKD which I probably won't talk about that much. I'm politically centre-left. I'm an ESFJ, a Libra and a Hufflepuff. I'm addicted to coffee, I'm a geography nerd, I swear a lot and 'fuck' is probably my favourite word.

We seem to have fandoms and queerness in general, hope it's okay to add you!

[vulcanrains]

Of course!

Ooh, Gentleman Jack - I need to add that to my interests list! It's not something I've seen anyone writing about, but I adored it and would love to read more about. We also have geography, Good Omens and MCU in common so I'm friending you, hope that's okay! :-)
