Anybody wanna be "screw tumblr" buddies

[quietrae]

Hey! Looking to be more active over here and it will be easier if I have more friends and communities to check in on!

Name: Brianna
Age: 25
Country: USA
Subscription/Access Policy: I'll add whoever to whatever, I'm not picky

Main Fandoms: Captain America, Steven Universe, The Magnus Archives, Nirvana in Fire, Star Wars, Yuri On Ice, and most recently Venom (I liked the terrible movie where sad reporter man gets a buff alien boyfriend, if anyone wants to try and get me into the comics I am OPEN to it)
Other Fandoms: My interests section on my profile has a more complete list, but I love science fiction and fantasy lit and would love to meet more fans of that to talk about it with.  (Discworld, Imperial Radch, The Goblin Emperor, etc...) I love a lot of older anime like Utena and Fruits Basket, and also I consume a metric ton of audio dramas because I like to listen to them at work.
Fannish Interests: I mostly lurk and read other people's fic because I am a shy ball of anxiety, but this year's new years resolution is to start posting my own. I also like pretty art of my OTPs but who doesn't.
Ships: Steve/Bucky, Yuuri/Victor, Jon/Martin, Jon/Michael, Pearl/Rose, Lapis/Peridot, Mei Chang Su/Everyone, Venom/Eddy Brock
About Me/Other Info: I recently started trying to teach myself how to knit, and am also trying to learn Japanese. I have a little bit of an amateur fascination with linguistics and history. I like to bake but am not very good at it so I'll be great to follow if you like laughing at other people's baking fails. I love true crime. I have two kitties and they're very cute and I will post many pics.

Adding you for Wes Anderson, your absolutely justified anger that I very much share, and that maybe we can be study buddies. I've been trying to get back into attempting to learn various languages including Japanese. I'm very proud to say that after starting from zero last year I can now recognize most hiragana very quickly.

I would love a study buddy! I'm good with hiragana and I'm learning kanji with Wanikani, but I cannot make katakana stick in my head for the life of me. I guess just because they get reinforced so much less than the other two, but its an endless source of frustration.

I need to get back into a groove with Wanikani; I kind of fell off once we got into winter. Lately I've only had the energy to keep cycling through the hiragana lessons on Duolingo because I can quickly complete those mini flashcard sessions before I go to bed and forget and lose my practicing streak, haha.

I would love to have a better way to practice katakana, too. It rarely comes up? I guess it makes sense that it does, but still.
