In my last posts I described the start and progression of my tadpole adventures. Here's the next instalment.

As soon as the tadpoles started growing legs they changed rapidly. Within days the kinda dopey goldfish behaviour, like nibbling around the surface of the water, disappeared, they became very elusive and shy. Almost like as soon as they started thinking about being predators they realised they were also prey. It was a bit sad, because I really enjoyed watching them, but also necessary for them to become wild frogs. I was glad that I hadn't spoiled them for life on their own.

Name: C.K. or Chester

Age: 36, nearly 37, growing old mandatory, growing up optional

I mostly post about: Culture Club/Boy George & Jon Moss (my hyperfixation of 22 years and counting), Linkin Park, wrestling (classic SMW/WWF, Jim Cornette, and my deeply cursed WWE 2K25 Universe), my OCs who are realer to me than most people, witchcraft/spirit work/folk healing/moon rituals/grief magic, retro gaming, emotional overshares that read like journal entries from a possessed poet, fanfiction that makes people unwell at 2am, chaos, and the occasional Reddit food rabbit hole

My hobbies are: Writing fic that's 70% emotional breakdown, 20% worldbuilding, and 10% people getting railed in a meaningful way, hexing cults with sigils and sass, collecting music like a religion, drawing OCs, being a haunted glitter goblin with eyeliner and vengeance, building 48-year fanfiction universes with fully documented timelines and named children, going to work like a normal person and coming home a completely different entity

My fandoms are: Culture Club (I'm writing a massive AU called Colour By Numbers spanning 1978-2026, and a supernatural [not the show] fic called The Rhythm of the Hollow), Linkin Park (Bennoda forever), wrestling (SMW/WWF/WCW but mainly the universes in my head)

I'm looking for people who: are too weird for Reddit, too raw for Instagram, too smart for Twitter/X, overshare about their OCs like a religion, cry over character development, understand that Jon Moss deserved better, write long posts, and don't find it weird that I've named all the children in my fictional universe including the surprise baby

My posting schedule: Erratic. Sometimes a lot. Sometimes I vanish for three weeks and return with an entire AU timeline and a new OC

Dealbreakers: Racism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, antisemitism, being a dick, Scientology apologists, anyone who thinks Mike Shinoda is evil because of an Instagram reel, "isn't wrestling fake?", "you still like Linkin Park?"


Before adding me: I'm a trans man (he/him, they/them). Autistic and ADHD. I write mpreg unapologetically. I am a Zionist and tired of explaining what that actually means. Pro-AI. I smoke weed. I am extremely defensive of Jon Moss and will write essays about it. My AO3 is CampCornette69 and yes that's a wrestling reference

I went to the cemetery today and it was the first warm day of spring - even the wind was warm, and all the birds were going absolutely nuts, they were so loud. The snowdrops are in full bloom everywhere and they look so incredibly lovely against the leaf litter.

Today I took some pictures around the yard and did a couple of garden crafts. These are from the house yard and savanna. (See the Worm Bin and the Water Garden.)

We've had a very persistent winter here this year and this has happily meant that I've had lots of visitors at my bird feeders. Today I had the opportunity to photograph this adorable little Long-Tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus caudatus) while it was hunting for seeds on the bike-shed roof just outside my window.

The first crocuses are blooming! I just had to take pictures when I spotted them this morning. Yesterday they were just buds.

My hobbies are: Playing videogames, watching movies and tv shows, drawing digitally, roleplaying in discord, coding 

My fandoms are: Game of thrones books, whatever actor I might be obssesed with ATM (currently daniel ings and david dastmalchian), dcu, doctor who, death stranding, fallout new vegas, cyberpunk 2077, kingdom come deliverance 

I'm looking to meet people who: are interested in interacting in eachothers posts even in small ways, like liking. creating and building an active community. people who read entire journal entries and anyone with interests similar to mine, also lgbt and neurodivergent people.

My posting schedule tends to be:It's sporadic, although I try to hit a daily pace

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: I have no deal breakers... for now? I just have fun with it

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a huuuuge leftist. I don't want right wing people interacting with me, ever. Also I complain alot, I swear like a sailor... if you're sensitive to swearing don't add me. Yay

Name: Em

Age: Mid-20s

I mostly post about: Lately, I've mostly used Dreamwidth for life updates related to my quest to get a teaching certification in my area. I also use it for fandom exchanges and general writing community.

My hobbies are: Writing is the big one. I write poetry and original short fiction. In fandom spaces, I tend to write a lot of short form erotica.

My fandoms are: Many and varied. Some of the favorites at the moment are BBC Merlin, October Daye, the Young Justice cartoon, and Wooden Overcoats.

I'm looking to meet people who: I like sharing this space with a wide variety of people. Some of my favorite members of my circle post recipes, media reviews, or meaty fandom meta, but other favorites are just sharing links to interesting news articles or talking about life.

My posting schedule tends to be: It's been sporadic in the past, but I've been trying to get in the habit of posting a few times a week. It's been grounding.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Don't be a Trump supporter, anti-LGBTQ, or a climate change denier.

Before adding me, you should know:
I'm polyamorous and live in a tight-knit community that includes many platonic and romantic life partners. Sometimes I post about US politics, but that's going to be fairly rare. I am quite left-wing, because my government's right-wing social policies negatively impact my community and my family. If you show up on my reading page and ask a question in your post, I'll probably answer it in the comments.

Name: You can call me Lina!

Age:35



I mostly post about: Journal entries about writing, social medias/the internet and anything creative, witchcraft, what I'm reading/what I've read, etc. Anything that I'm wanting to write about really.



My hobbies are: Reading, writing, making arts and crafts, drawing, anything that tickles my creative brain. And also watching junk TV because I contain multitude.



My fandoms are Mo Dao Zu Shi and Scum Villain (anything MXTX but I haven't finished Heaven Officials Blessings yet). I've also dipped my toes in Stardew Valley and Bridgerton as a fandom, although I haven't written anything for those yet. I'm Deadfandomswriter on AO3 if you wanna take a look.



I'm looking to meet people who: Are open minded and care about building a sense of community through active participation in their spaces. Are creative and love to see magic in their every day lives (I consider birdwatching to be its own kind of magic for the sense of wonder it brings, for example).



My posting schedule tends to be: So far a couple times a week, but I don't really schedule those.



When I add people, my dealbreakers are:Bigots, small minded people



Before adding me, you should know: Other than everything else above, I'm queer, and that probably will colour what I write about more than once in a while. I also do not speak to my family anymore (although my family-in-law have welcomed me warmly), and that also can come up, so if it's something that is uncomfortable for you, you might want to avoid my blog. Oh! And my first language is French!

The sun came out and everyone was enjoying it so much after more than a week of clouds and snowfall. This crow was taking a very energetic bath - look how far the water droplets are flying all around him!
