General
Name/Nickname: krad
Age or Age Group: ~30's

You
Do you have any hobbies?: I'm an old web meatbag that's most known for drawing villains on my main handle (http://kradeelav.com) and in general being the one usually yelling 'fuck authority' literally, conceptually, and knowingly. I made this DW as a container to separate 'actual self' from 'artist persona' cleanly and have strong feelings on the topic.
Do you have any interests, that wouldn't fall under a hobby?: villains. monsters. cathartic art that hits your id like a jackhammer, fellow kinksters + history , mil-hist (psyops, science of interrogation, mercenaries, etc). long-standing interests that aren't manufactured for attention's sake. experiential-ly creative side of fandom with a side of the sordid. zinesters. ships with deliciously fucked up power dynamics, sakuga, hacker shit, catharsis from those who never quite felt human. villains, again.
Are you into fandom?: Not as much these days. Hellsing & Fire Emblem (Tellius) only these days, if so.
What does your day to day look like?: corporate design manager shenanigans, replaying Wind Waker, doodling some fetish art, messing around with ubuntu.

Entertainment
What anime/movies/games/books do you enjoy?: I like old ~2000's-era 2D animation; still retain a soft spot for Hellsing(!), Neon Genesis Evangelion, and some fuckier anime. Generally a fan of mil-hist books, biographies, and more obscure zines, but don't care for live-action films.
What kind of music do you listen to?: Akira Yamaoka, VNV Nation, Ashbury Heights

Journal & Friending
What do you post about?: various liveblogs of media usually older than 2005, corporate ladder-climbing shit, magpie-ing links from the more interesting corners of the internet, guns. catharsis as a concept. if you need content warnings for anything mentioned here you're probably not going to want to follow.
How often do you update?: Roughly twice a week.
What do you look for in a DW friend?: anyone still reading and interested ~
Do you have any kind of friending policy?: generally I wait until we've interacted twice positively or have been mutuals for a while before sharing private posts. nothing personal, I'm old school and intensely suspicious.
Do you have any deal-breakers?: censorship bootlickers~

Anything else? my bark is a lot worse than my bite. :) all that said, welcome to dreamwidth - there's no finer home for an online diary or us weirdos.

I can't relate to most things in your comment, but I have to say I literally squealed when I saw you mention Ashbury Heights. They are my favourite band, but nobody ever talks about them. So congrats on having a good taste in music XD

[kradeelav]

aw thank you, and I'm so glad to see somebody else who likes 'em as well! :D What're your favorite tracks from ashbury heights?

[neo_ultra]

I honestly don't understand why they are not more famous than they are, they deserve it!

My Top 10, in no particular order because I like them all equally, are "If You're Shooting with the Left It Means the Right Side Is Working", "Missing Mr. Marchie", "Masque", "Heart of Darkness", "Glow", "Scars of a Lighthouse", "Kingdom Confession", "Derrick Is a Strange Machine", "Corsair", "One Trick Pony".

And yours?

[kradeelav]

hee hee, i actually had 'Glow' on repeat last night ~ x) Some of them feel like older tracks that I haven't heard (am very basic and usually just grab the popular ones off of youtube LOL).

Favorites tho ... (checks replay count on itunes)
- spiders
- shades of black
- angora overdrive
- anti ordinary
- bare your teeth
- cry havoc

[neo_ultra]

I also really like the music video for "Glow", it fits the vibes of the song quite well.
I think youtube has all of their albums, so in case you want to hear more, they are all there :D

Nice selection! Although it's not like they have any bad songs XD

You sound really interesting, even though we don't share a ton of interests directly. (I must say, though, as someone who's been online since I was in my early 20s, I am hugely amused at you saying you're an 'old web meatbag'. Me, too! :D )

Anyway, I'll go add you, and if you like what you see, add me back!

[kradeelav]

Aw thank you for the kind words - and yay to more old web meatbag buddies! :)

I think your chickens are frankly adorable, and likewise appreciate the access. Looking forward to hearing about how it's all going ~
