[Snowflake Challenge] Day 4/5 - Introduction and Promotion

[prixmium]

Day 4 - Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've interacted with and friend/follow them.

Did this.

Promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them.

My friend morethanprinceofcats is honestly the thing I miss most about being on tumblr regularly. She seems to have had neither cause nor motivation to move anywhere else, but her blog is honestly just so good. It is a combination of a peaceful flow of her beautiful aesthetic and a lot of really hard-hitting, good media criticism that she isn't trying to impress the Fandom Powers That Be with and I just love her a lot even if we don't talk much.

Reconnected with an internet person I really like overall through her running incorrectfateqs instead of just on tumblr. I love these things, so much. Fate is such a heavy, dense mythology and story that the silliness for it, canon or fanon, is needed and great.

Can I cheat and just go with dreamwidth for my last recommendation? It's circular and not going to lead anywhere new, but I just really enjoy having this type of outlet again. It's so much less pressure than other blogging or microblogging platforms, and it is so "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" in terms of its functionality. If you're willing to read the documentation you can do almost anything with it, and there isn't the pressure to have this pristine white page where you only ever talk in pt. 5 typeface.

I'm super enjoying the nostalgia factor that's coming with Dreamwidth. I'm not as fandom-y active as life active but it's a nice little place to diary my findings or days.

"life" active this is the most casual burn ever

[toxictsukino]

fuck I'm so sorry. OTL I just talk about fandom so much more less than I used to. Life is something to talk about for me. Tho I wish I had more fandomy things to talk about. ;_; like I admire all ya'll who are so passionate about what you like.

I don't think it's cheating, and I definitely agree about DW. I felt very pressured to update a lot on Tumblr, but it was never really of any substance; I found myself very casually consuming stuff and not interacting with it beyond a reblog. It's been great seeing people return to DW and I'm really hoping the old comms are reanimated by the influx!
