Describe yourself in five sentences or less: i was born a very short lesbian in the deep south and then i married a very tall canadian woman and ran away to PEI. i live with my wife and my rotund demoncat (Thanatos, or as we call him, Fattatouille), and a headful of stories, mostly of the horror variety. i write the way probably most people breathe; i also bind books, make jewelry, paint, sing, hoard languages, garden, bake, and care for infants and small children. i like being in the sky and being in the sea. i don't like winter.

Top 5 Fandoms:
--gaming (currently playing: xenoblade chronicles AGAIN, adventure bar story, and a whole lot of zx spectrum games.)
--yuri! on ice
--doctor who (i'm a diehard eleven fan)
--i'm catching up on call the midwife now so i mean, we can talk about that!
--if you want to talk to me about jrock, we can be bffs on that alone. i have more or less properly been in that fandom since 2003 and i will never stop EVEN AS IT AND THE REMAINING X JAPAN MEMBERS DIE OUT AROUND ME. (too soon?)

I mostly post about: writing, stuff i'm making, my dumb cat, how immigration is hard, weird conversations i have, and, uh, sometimes i froth about how my mind and my body conspire to kill me, because they do, and that takes up a lot of headspace.

I try not to post about: the situation in my home country. i try not to read about it either.

My last three posts were about: all PSAs about lj's russiapocalypse aside: putting my cat on antidepressants, the launch of my patreon, and a lengthy-but-ugly post on what it means to grow up female in a bad neighborhood in georgia.

How often do you post? How about commenting?
sometimes i post daily, sometimes weekly. i tryyyy to comment on at least all personal posts.

YOSHIKI WILL NEVER DIE!!!!!
Too many virgins willing to sacrifice themselves for his eternal youth. XD

You said the magic words, we must now be friends, yes.

kalmialatifolia

ALL I'M SAYIN IS, you remember when born to be free was released (ONCE AGAIN FEATURING A NAKED YOSHIKI ON THE COVER) and he was like "everybody send me your ~~nudes~~ recreations of the album cover~!" BUT LIKE OMG YOSHIKI you didn't have to create an elaborate story

WE WOULD ALL SEND YOU NUDES

YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK MAN

Him and Gackt, I swear to god, two of a kind. TWO OF A FUCKING KIND. XD ngl, I love 'em just a bit for it, too.

man gackt posted something to instagram about how he and yoshiki were having dinner together and i want to know why and i want to know NOW. THESE PRIMADONNAS MUST BE PLANNING A PROJECT THAT WILL NEVER COME TO FRUITION.

There's been rumors of S.K.I.N. coming active again.... IF YOSHIKI CAN STOP DOING FIFTY MILLION THINGS AT ONCE. Gackt was on YoshikiChannel (AGAIN) just a couple days ago, too.

BLESS THESE ASSHOLES. T_T

hi! i too am a lesbian from the south (texas, not georgia though, and now residing in boston) and with a rotund kitty (but he is an angel, not a demon). i like video games, though my tastes tend towards visual novels, and i'm not in jrock fandom anymore but i used to be and probably will occasionally know who you're talking about!

anyway you sound great and i'm adding you if that's ok! :)

VISUAL NOVELS? =D oh man so RIGHT NOW MY THING IS THE PETIT NOVEL SERIES (i'm on november of the 3DS collection, SO GOOD). TELL ME YOUR FAVES.

sure thing!

oh i haven't heard of that one! i stick to ones on the computer; i don't have a 3ds and none of the iphone ones are particularly good in my experience.

my faves aaaare (all of them have possible f/f endings):
long live the queen (you'll die SO MUCH before you win once, but it's a blast)
the royal trap
seduce me
cinders
life is strange (i cannot tell you anything about the endings w/o massive spoilers lol)

OH DANG THIS IS SUCH A GOOD REC LIST I'M GONNA DIE. i know petit novel was originally for the PC, but i'm clearly bad at Finding, i can only dig up 3DS reviews. and i love otome games so HECK YEAH

also, it feels nice to meet more married lesbians. it used to be such an outlier status, even where it was legal, so even seeing a handful pop up makes it feel more...real, y'know?

YESSS let me know how you like them!

(and i know, i swear at least 5 of the people i've added within the last week have been married lesbians. it's great!)

I totally freaked out and had to google X Japan to make sure another one hadn't died since Taiji. Phew, they're still alive.

I have not been into JRock for years, but I still know who the pre-2010 bands are. Do you have any recs for newer bands?

We share interests in games, cats, and writing. I'd like to add you if that's okay?

nah. pata was hospitalized awhile back, thus cancelling YET ANOTHER TOUR, but they're all still kicking. THANK GOD.

DO YOU ONE BETTER, i can rec you AT LEAST TWO NEW AND AMAZING PROJECTS OF OLD BANDS IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW: the mortal is atsushi sakurai's "help i've discovered that i am human and one day i'm going to die so i've got to exorcise the demons of my childhood stat" project. sukekiyo (maybe nsfw, like nothing is happening but inexplicably kyo is wearing a bdsm nun habit) is kyo's group featuring two of the rentrer en soi guys and some 9 minute sex ballads or whatever. you know how it is. also did you know pierrot reunited to do a tour with deg? CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS SHIT. (SORRY I GET EMOTIONAL.)

now for actual new bands, right now i dig the black swan and i am delighted by this bunch of old-school vk madmen. (that's a vaguely nsfw pv.)

ANYWAY YEAH YOU'RE COOL. =D i added you back! <3

omg I didn't know Kyo had a sideproject. I have a copy of his solo album from 2009(??) because a former friend was a total fan of his and bought it from cdjapan (she also bought two pairs of those pants he designed off of ebay, oh man those were fugly.) brb going to watch the BDSM nun habit running wild.

PIERROT GOT BACK TOGETHER? THIS IS MAKING MY INNER 17 YEAR OLD SO SO HAPPY.

I'll check all of your reccs out this afternoon. Time to have a nostalgia trip, or at least rock the fuck out for a while.

Hey! Gaming! I got one of those somewhere... I play Terraria a lot?

Also the only thing I'm remotely familiar with is... Detroit Metal City. (which implies that I'm totally, totally off base) Wanna be friends anyway? :x

I'M LAUGHING SO HARD. we can totally be friends. XD was that adapted to a drama at any point? WOULD I LIKE THAT? i've never read it.

They did do a live-action movie of it, which I thought was hilarious. I still quote it sometimes.

(Well, I just remember one quote: "The gates of Hell are closing soon," said as the main character was running around in full gear and needed an excuse as to why for passer-by.)
