Hobbies and Interests
What are your current interests and/or hobbies?: longform written roleplay, fiction media especially of the horror, supernatural, or true crime variety, gaming, various DIY attempts, fashion, photography.
Do you participate in these hobbies or interests daily?: certainly when it comes to taking in media, anything more creative or hands-on is at the mercy of my schedule, gaming comes at second place.
Is your hobby or interest your job? Would you like it into a job?: my job is 50% design-by-direction and a lot of drop-of-a-hat problem solving, but I can't say it carries the same experience as being freely creative and expressive.
If applicable, what's your greatest achievement/creation from a hobby or interest?: I'm very pleased with my original characters I've developed in dwrp...they mean very much to me!
Are there any hobbies you'd like to get into?: more dedication to language learning (Japanese,) vocal work (voicing, possibly singing,) and one day maybe I'll be able to come up with a self-contained story worth writing beginning to end to make any good use of my OCs. (the trouble with that being, I enjoy collaborative work so much more than writing solo.)
If you're into collecting something, what is it?: bones, insects, oddities in general, rosaries, miniature things, enamel pins, anything that has pigs (mainly boars,) Genshin Impact characters.
Do you have a "main" hobby or interest, one that you participate in more than others?: recently I finally got into story podcasts, I keep up with MrBallen and began The Magnus Archives a few weeks ago; I'm a semi-regular Genshin Impact player; I do indie vtuber streaming but given the demand of my schedule I might shift more to vtubing proper (video-based channel on youtube,) and much of my other 'hobbies' are encountering things I want to adapt into jewelry or clothing, much more whim-based but happens too frequently to be occasional. I also intend to return to instant film photography.
Do you want more friends that participate in a specific hobby or interest? If so, what is it?: I'm just interested in meeting people that have similar interests to me, I prefer similarity with variety around me!
Is there anything about your hobby or interest that annoys you?: it's...moreso that I am often such a low energy person because existing is draining and I have a physically laborious and very social job, which leaves little time and energy left for me to do Things, which makes me very inconsistent, or takes me forever to come around and pick up games or media or crafting tasks I've been meaning to get to. I am hoping that having some people to chat with will energize me. but one thing that annoys me is that I have an impossible time looking back on things I've created because I often cringe at my past self no matter what I do. :') except for writing!
Do you participate in your hobby or interest for fun or relaxation? Both?: relaxation for me is existing as little as possible... so I would say certainly more for fun and self-enrichment.
And lastly, do you prefer to participate in your hobby/interest alone or with someone? it really depends! if I choose to do something alone, I'd still like to be able to share what I have done with others of similar interests.
General Journaling
How often do you post?: I just began this account although I've been on dw since 2011 or so. I'm hoping minimum once a week, but I intend to be present more often than posting.
Do you post about your interest or hobby? If not, what do you post about?: I will be! either about content I'm consuming at the moment, content I'm doing, pet projects I'm planning, or executing.
What do you like to read about on your friends page?: honestly as someone that's used plurk to keep up with rp partners for about as long as I've been on dw, anything from what you're up to to what you're watching/reading/consuming is all I can hope for. pet pics are a plus.
Do you post about fandom? If not, do you mind reading about it?: I'm not a very fandom-y person in general but I do intend to talk about what I'm currently enjoying, and very likely why and my thoughts on content!
Do you have any deal-breakers?: anti culture, I would prefer to connect with people 18 y/o and up, political conversations, preachy tendencies, bigotry of any sort, toxicity and behind-your-back behaviors.
I tend to like ominous/creepy/macabre stuff but I'm really laid back and looking for people to have conversations with and share our joys. but for transparency's sake, I utilize Catholic associations and imagery as I find inspirations in it (due to my upbringing) though I don't ascribe to any religion specifically, it's a familiarity and nostalgia thing. in case you might be uncomfortable by this, I just want to state that at the front!

Hobbies and Interests
What are your current interests and/or hobbies?: reading, tarot, crochet, sewing, medieval history & fandom! i mostly write and read fic, although my favourite thing is beta and talk-things-through duty. I also dabble in gardening when I get the chance! at the moment I am mostly creating for The Arcane, The Witcher & Lord of the Rings. I am reading T Kingfisher's Nettle & Bone
Do you participate in these hobbies or interests daily?: Pretty much! I read on my commute to work, and have my fic WIPs available on Drive pretty much all the time. Plus most of my socialising is fandom related via discord
Is your hobby or interest your job? Would you like it into a job?: No, and also no. My hobbies are my break from the pressures of having to earn money and be good at things
If applicable, what's your greatest achievement/creation from a hobby or interest?: The 25,000 word fic I wrote for Rusty Quill Big Bang in 2022 - the longest thing I have ever written, and something I put a lot of time and effort into researching, writing and revising. I got to include some of my favourite literary and folklore elements while fitting them with the Magnus Archives canon. And I got to work with some absolutely lovely artists for the exchange, who produced gorgeous artwork based on my words!
Are there any hobbies you'd like to get into?: I would love to get into bookbinding! And jewellery making. And to finally learn to knit. And - well. If it exists I probably want to try it, haha

Do you want more friends that participate in a specific hobby or interest? If so, what is it?: I would love friends of all kinds!
Is there anything about your hobby or interest that annoys you?: There's a lot I find personally frustrating about the spaces I am in, but one of the biggest is yarn snobbery in fibrecraft circles. Everyone has preferences, but there are hundreds of reasons someone might chose one fibre over another, and really it's no business of yours
Do you participate in your hobby or interest for fun or relaxation? Both?: Both! Mostly it depends on what I'm in the mood for, although crochet is almost always for relaxation, unless I'm making something for someone (e.g. as a gift)

Hobbies and Interests
What are your current interests and/or hobbies?: writing (mainly fanfiction), reading, watching good films and TV series, coloring,
Do you participate in these hobbies or interests daily?: Yes!
Is your hobby or interest your job? Would you like it into a job?: I‘d love to turn writing into a job. On the other hand, you don‘t get paid for fanfics, and I struggle with writing/inspiration/motivation right now, so it‘s probably good I don‘t have to make a living from it.
If applicable, what's your greatest achievement/creation from a hobby or interest?: One of my original texts got published in an anthology in 2020 and another one in 2022.
Are there any hobbies you'd like to get into?: upcycling and crochetting, maybe, vidding and creating icons would be awesome, too. I have issues with fine motor skills, so the first two are unrealistic to happen. For the rest, I don‘t know where/how to start.
If you're into collecting something, what is it?: Collecting is the wrong term, but I keep most of my concert tickets. Unfortunately I lost the few first ones, but other that, I have a lot of them. I want to not just keep them in a box, but make an album or whatever and maybe make a few notes of how the gig actually went and stuff. If any of you did something like that for their unusual keepsakes, please let me see!
Do you have a "main" hobby or interest, one that you participate in more than others?: That would definitely be writing!
Do you want more friends that participate in a specific hobby or interest? If so, what is it?: I have friends who write, but I‘d love to have more friends who write. Fanfics or originals, I don‘t care, I just want to read about your writing process, the good times, the bad times and the ugly times.
Is there anything about your hobby or interest that annoys you?: I often feel like my writing is redundand and shitty and I hate when I don‘t get anything written, due to the lack of inspiration/ideas. I‘m in one of these phases right now and it‘s kinda meh and frustrating.
Do you participate in your hobby or interest for fun or relaxation? Both?: Both!
And lastly, do you prefer to participate in your hobby/interest alone or with someone? Writing is a lonely business, but I love to talk/whine about it, about ideas or the lack of ideas and such. Especially with someone who shares the fandom or the pairing.
