Meeee. But not Bernard Hill neither Reita. :( All hail the victorious dead.

Life's less hectic, meaning I have more time to dedicate to fannish activities. Boy, do I miss that. It's like I'm recovering a part of myself whenever I come back to fandom.

After a year on Dreamwidth (happy anniversary to me! a week late), a bit on and off, I realise my favourite feature of the site is the late 00s feeling. I started being active online on fandom forums when they were still a thing in the late 00s/early 10s. I sulked (other) social media for a long time. Discord is somewhat forum-like but the fast pace of certain servers throws me off. I never had Xanga, MySpace, Skyrock or LiveJournal. 9yo me, however, found Dramione fanfiction on Skyrock.

I like DW's display. It's easy to use. There are certain customization features I'd rather have otherwise but I don't 'speak' CSS, so it is what it is. I can manage with what we have! I recently discovered the explore random journals and random communities option.

At the beginning, I wanted this blog to be music and fandom-centric. Now, I'm less sure exactly what direction/purpose I want to give it. I realised I enjoy reading about people's personal lives, and I don't entirely disdain blabbering about mine. Anyhow, it's my blog, I can do what I want and talk about different topics. Tags exist for a reason!

Do you think there'll be a resurgence of blogs and forums? There are a few tumblr refugees and youngsters like me who use DW. By youngster, I mean mid-twenties, which is old enough to have had a taste of the late 00s internet. I wonder if the 18- population will eventually tire from the reels and youtube shorts frenzy and opt for something less fast paced (or seemingly less fast paced. I encountered crazily active forums 10 years ago and that scared me).

Because I gotta do what gotta be done.

Hello there [General Kenobi], you might know me as SonOfMandos on AO3; sauronnaise on tumblr; SonOfMandos on SWG (Silmarillion Writers' Guild).

My interests pretty much are: Tolkien; mythologies; ancient history; fantasy; the music I listen to (namely metal (symphonic, doom, blackgaze), neoclassical darkwave, video games' soundtracks, neofolk, K-music). I write dubious fanfiction and draw dubious fanart. I sometimes read mangas and webtoons. My late childhood and teenagehood were shaped by CLAMP's works. I This blog will be about fandom stuff, mostly. Oh, and I love exercising and doing cardio.

Other than that, my hair and I aren't on good terms. The hair on my head is doing well (it's rather Aragornish in style and length), but my facial hair is pitiful (I have a stubble at best). Wonderful. (Yes, I'm a dude) Also, I'm a native French speaker.

Feel free to follow if you wish to. Just don't be a moron--I'm a bigger moron than you and not shy to troll back. (I doubt there's an army of moronic morons showing up in blogs' comment sections, but just to be sure.) Jokes and humour are of course welcome. Don't hesitate to comment an older entry of mine--I'd be flattered if you did!

Some of my entries are friends-locked. Let me know if you'd like access to those. They are about my life (when it's either boring or questionable). I simply don't want people who aren't on Dreamwidth to read them.
