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.

Preferred pronouns: she/her

Active/primary interests or fandoms: Trick or Treat and Yuletide, horror movies, nostalgic fiction from the 80s and 90s (e.g., Point Horror, Baby-Sitters Club, Making Out, etc.), action movies, creature features, and, top of the top, werewolves. I love A Little Late with Lily Singh and am currently, as in while I'm writing this, halfway through Dollface. Hockey is my favorite sport, and my team won their first Stanley Cup earlier this year. #weallbleedblue

If you've seen me around, it's probably because: Trick or Treat and Yuletide treating
I post about: fandom and real life (locked)
I post/check my feed: varies, though at least a couple times a month
I want to find people that post about: anything, really, I love to hear about the things people feel strongly about. I am always looking for media recs and I love hearing about people's art and writing and everything.
I am most interested in interacting with people on: DW
My blog is: mostly publicly, selectively locked
Anything else you need to know about me: Here's my December 2018 about me post; big things to know: I'm queer, biracial, liberal, live in a small town in a red state, and kind of ridiculous about a lot of things, including art and my dog. I have bipolar disorder and have been in treatment for more than a decade. I'm close with my large, extended family, and I'm adopted.
