Hi Dreamwidth

[tiptoetwirl]

So I've had a Dreamwidth account for a while but never fully migrated to the platform until now. I'm not gonna say why I created the account in the first place because it's a little nsfw. It may or may not have had something to do with a kinkmeme 🙈 It's been so long though that I don't even remember the fandom anymore!

I'm hoping this migration will help me accomplish two things. The first is to journal a little more.

I've been exploring art (both traditional and digital) and while I am very much a beginner and still have LOADS of learning to do, I've been looking for a place to post my studies and practices and rantings and ravings where people from work won't see them. All of my other social media has so many work colleagues and friends on it that I feel a little constricted in what I can or cannot say. This goes for more than art though, I wanted to place to just rant in general without work people hearing me.

I'm probably overthinking it but I feel a little embarrassed to admit to work colleagues just how deep my love for all things, for example, Rafa Nadal, K-Pop and Harry Potter goes. So hopefully here I can post fandom related thoughts and maybe some RL thoughts that I don't want to share on other social media platforms.

Secondly I fully count iconning as an artistic endeavour but, like with my other digital and traditional art, consistency is something I've been struggling with. Work/life balance over the past few years has played a big part in that but hopefully a new platform means a new start! I haven't created my icon community yet but I will get around to it soon. I'm not sure if I want to keep my old name or not!

So that's it from me. Here's to hopefully a better relationship with consistency going forward!

Hi! :D

I made a DW account because a lot of Sims 2 content creators were on here, but never really used it. I was surprised when I saw one of them post a couple of weeks ago (still about The Sims 2) until I remembered why I got the account lol

I'm looking forward to seeing your art ;)

I honestly wish younger me remembered that the internet was forever! I'd save myself a lot of embarrassment.

At the same time it's knowing the new platforms before most other people and seeing how they develop. I remember joining twitter absolute AGES before anyone else I knew did as well. Same for MySpace when that was still a thing (I'm giving away my age a little).

Hi, glad to see you around here :D Looking forward to seeing your work!
I feel the same way re: mixing fandom and RL, it feels odd, haha.

Thank you! Yeah part of me is like "you shouldn't be ashamed of what you like" but then reality always kicks in 😆

Anyway, it'll be nice to have a space for fangirling again 😁
