hi, new and looking for friends!

[unearthlymarmot]

Name: Teddie
Age: 30
Country: USA
Subscription/Access Policy: Feel free to friend me and I'll probably grant access, although most of my posts will be public anyway! I'm looking to make more friends, so I'd be happy to have you, but you don't need to feel pressure to grant me access if that makes you uncomfortable.

Fannish Interests: I've had a lot of the years (shoujo manga, Harry Potter, Dragon Ball, Pokemon, Mass Effect, superhero comics), but lately I'm focusing mainly on Doctor Who, Star Wars, and Star Trek. I love a good space story! I recently decided to do a proper watch through of all of classic Doctor Who, so I'm having a lot of fun with that.

I like to post about: My journal is new, but I plan to post commentary and pictures as I make my way through Classic Who and the Big Finish audios. I'll also post about New Who, Star Wars and Star Trek, my personal life a little, and my cat a lot. I make icons occasionally.

About Me/Other Info: I'm a genderfluid (they/them prounouns), mentally ill nerd who likes being friendly and considerate. I have a lot of passion for my fandoms, although I can also be a little scatterbrained and flighty. I do my best to be consider of other people and to own up to any mistakes I make. I like to have a quiet, good time talking about science-fiction, animals (I love marmots and other related animals like squirrels), makeup, and toy collecting.

I'm looking to decrease my tumblr presence (too stressful for me), and increase my presence on other platforms such as this one.

Thanks for reading!

You seem pretty cool, and we have some interests in common (namely Doctor Who, but I love Star Wars as well). Do you mind if I add you?

[unearthlymarmot]

I don't mind! I'll add you as well.

[mr_picard]

Ooooh a Jadzia Dax icon! *waves enthusiastically*

I also find Tumblr tiresomely stressful, I'm there for gifs, not drama. (Sigh.)

And I like having a quiet time as well, heh.

Friends...?

[unearthlymarmot]

Oh gosh, you probably don't remember me but we were actually LJ friends! (My username was delanynder.) I'd be happy to friend you here. :D

And exactly, tumblr gets so tiring with the constant drama. It's bad for my mental health, honestly. I needed some place to be more relaxed.

[mr_picard]

Ooooh! I'm old, forgive me if I don't really remember much of the old LJ days, lol!

Yup, same here. I do try to remind myself that Tumblr has a lot of young people and that some young people are impulsive and quick to judge but that isn't helping much. I've unfollowed all the drama blogs and am now quite happily following mostly folks who make nice TNG gifs or post cute guinea pig pics...

Thanks for adding me, I'll add you right back! :)

[unearthlymarmot]

Oh that's alright! LJ was a long time ago, I'm surprised I remembered, haha.

[mr_picard]

Yeah it went downhill quite a while ago although I do fondly remember its most active days. :)

Hello! I am a Trek fan who also fled Tumblr, so I am adding you. I usually grant access after I know people better but all my fannish posts are public. Add me back or not as you see fit :)

[unearthlymarmot]

Always happy to meet other Trek fans, I'll add you back! :>

[the_bell_jar]

Hey! Also nb and kind of in love with makeup. Adding you. :)

[unearthlymarmot]

Awesome, adding you back :)

[maplemood]

I love Star Wars and Harry Potter. Mind if I add you?

[unearthlymarmot]

I don't mind! I'll add you as well.

[scripsi]

I'm a big fan of Doctor Who, both Classic and New. I also like Harry Potter. if you feel we would work, I'd be happy to friend you.

[unearthlymarmot]

I'd be happy to add you!

Hi Teddie! I'm Kaden. Seems like a lot of people are distancing themselves from tumblr lately! I am the same, just made a journal yesterday, and am going through Classic Who myself! I'd love to be friends :)

[unearthlymarmot]

Nice to meet you! I'll add you. Also, I love your icon! :>

[madsabouthugh]

Awesome! And thank you, I love Tomatochu :3

[lemonbalmgirl]

This is a little belated, but may I add you? (I may have stalked your posts slightly. You seem neat.)

I also deal with mental illness and lurk in several of the fandoms you mentioned. :)

[unearthlymarmot]

Sure! It's nice to meet you, I'll add you as well. :>

[an_unexpected_party]

Hello! We like about all the same things, so I'll be adding you! I'm also working on cutting back on tumblr, and really hope that dreamwidth stays as active as it's been in the last couple days.

[unearthlymarmot]

I hope so too! It's nice to meet you.
