unhingedforest | Reading

So, I made a DW a few years ago, but fell off posting on it pretty quickly. I’ve made this new account in hopes of being more active!

Name: Eclipse

Age: 31

I mostly post about: So far, I’ve mostly been posting my writing as well as fandom meta. I post a mix of fanfic and original writing. But I anticipate also making posts about the books I read and the movies I watch. We’ll have to see how things evolve!

My hobbies and interests are: Drawing, writing, houseplants, reptile care, and dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures.

My fandoms are: I’m in the horror fandom at large. However, my two main niches are the Alien franchise and the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise (minus the shitty remake lol). I’m also in the following fandoms: Ghost the band, Beetlejuice, Phantom of the Opera, and the monster romance community.

Other fandoms I enjoy but that I’m not posting about a lot at the moment are: the Stargate franchise, Batman villains, and Once Upon a Time.

I'm looking to meet people who: Basically, I’m just looking for nice, chill people who share some of my interests!

My posting schedule tends to be: I only recently made this blog, so I don’t know what exactly my schedule will look like, but I anticipate it being fairly sporadic.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: People who are oddly aggressive and rude, conservatives/MAGA types, people who are anti-LGBT, people who are strongly pro-GenAI, and people who generally participate in fandom purity culture.

Before adding me, you should know: I am in my “cringe but free” era, and as a result, have been writing more OC/self-insert x Canon Character fic — specifically OC x horror villain stuff. If that’s not your thing, this probably isn’t the right blog for you. ^^’

Also, while I generally do not care what people ship, I am very uncomfortable with lolisho, so if you like that kind of thing, we won't mesh well.

It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

What are you working on? What have you finished? What do you need encouragement on?

Are there any cool events or challenges happening that you want to hype? I've been neglecting Dreamwidth - tell me what I'm missing!

What do you just want to talk about?

What have you been watching or reading?

Chores and other not-fun things count!

Remember to encourage other commenters and we have a discord where we can do work-alongs and chat, linked in the sticky.

1) Lunch on my sunny balcony

2) Booked a test ride on a foldable e-bike this afternoon. I’m mostly curious because I don’t want to spend so much money for the little I’d use it

3) Did I mention the gorgeous sunshine ^^

Time to look back on 2025 with a focus on iconmaking, to draw some conclusions, and get some feedback! \o/

1) ICON PROGRESSION

Tell us what icons you made last year, select the best/the most extraordinary/the most representative, and tell us about them.

Tell us about your progress, your fandoms, your ideas and techniques. What changed over the course of the year?

If you want, you can make resolutions about your iconmaking: what you would like to do this year, techniques you want to try, goals you want to achieve - for resolutions, also see bestof_icons below.

There are quite a few progression posts made by our members in previous years, where you can look for ideas how to go about it:

=> https://icontalking.dreamwidth.org/tag/progression+post

( more examples and layout code links )

* You can post your progression/resolution posts as new posts directly to this comm, use the tag "progression post"
* If you post(ed) a progression post to your journal, you can make a new post here and link to your journal
* If you have more than 5 icons in your post, put them under a cut
* Note: you must be a member of this community to be able to post

Deadline: any time you want! These things take time. Post them to the community any time you like!

2) BESTOF_ICONS

bestof_icons is here again, too. Voting is not open yet, but you can make:

Remakes

Resolutions

3) ICON FEEDBACK/CONCRIT

When this comm was new, there was a concrit/feedback thread on every post, but it wasn't used by many people, so I stopped making them. In case you do miss getting feedback on your icons, there's a concrit/feedback thread in this post again!

Plus, there's a relatively new comm where you can request concrit:

iconcrit

Have fun, and be nice!

p.s.

If you'd rather participate in a challenge this month, check out our List of current active iconmaking communities. It's a sticky post at the top of this comm, and you can also find a link to it in the comm's sidebar. I update this list about once a month. You're always welcome to let me know if there are new comms I should add to it.

Wow, we got a huge rainbow from 11 makers! \o/

If you want to snag all the boxes, here are the links:

7 rainbow mystery boxes

The randomizer (and people's preferences) were not actually very fairly distributed. *g* The highest numbers (5-7) were for b/w, orange, red, and purple. There was only one person who got a blue box, and not a single yellow one. Now you can enjoy them all!

https://www.mediafire.com/file/t4ed5x90fdsju33/icontalking_box_bw.zip

( and here's our rainbowy result: 62 icons by 11 makers )
Feel free to comment here or on each maker's threads linked next to their name.

Our next activity will be the yearly roundup/review activity, and it'll be coming right up.

Name: Senri

Age: 30+

I mostly post about: A smorgasboard of things! Lots of book reviews, discussion and chatter about different fandoms, links to interesting things I've read or looked at on the internet, recipes I've cooked and whether I liked them, writing memes, and I'm trying to get more into posting short life anecdotes.

My hobbies are: I write both original work and fanfic, I'm playing more videogames these days, and I'm easing my way back into doing art and being outdoorsy. I like working out, going for walks, and listening to crickets, moving water, and birdsong. I'm athletic and specifically enjoy swimming, weightlifting, yoga, and spinning. I was into dwrp for a long time and still enjoy doing private storylines with friends. I love trying new things and will do almost anything once!

My fandoms are: Attack on Titan (I do not like the ending or think it was well-written, and because you can find those types in this fandom: I do not think Eren was right), Animorphs, Naruto, TWEWY, Tanith Lee's books esp the Unicorn Triology, Gravity Falls, Eyeshield 21, Blade of the Immortal, Dungeon Meshi, D.Gray-man, Lilo & Stitch. If I liked something once, I will probably have a soft spot for it just about forever.

I'm looking to meet people who: are chill and kind and value being kind to others. Nerdy types who like writing and book talk. Thoughtful people. Shared fandoms are far from necessary; I don't fanpost that much. I enjoy getting a small window into lives different from mine and my goal is to make friendly connections with others and be kind c:

My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic. I check my reading list regularly and do try to comment.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
No:

Purity wankers/purity police, if this is your choice for how to engage with fandom as a hobby we aren't meant to be friends. My own journal content is quite milquetoast overall and I warn for more extreme content when my writing involves it, so you won't blindly click your way into extreme content you aren't into if you add me, and I generally try to avoid this kind of discourse in my journal other than making my stance on this clear at the outset.
Conservatives/MAGAs
I don't want racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ablism etc on my friendslist and will unfollow and block commenting on my journal over it
I'm not a fan of genAI at all

Before adding me, you should know: I will probably not grant you access for a long time if we follow each other. It's not personal, I just like to know a person well and know that we mesh before I grant access. You won't be missing a whole lot as I don't post under access filters often.

gardening

Last month I was rereading one of Alaric Albertsson's books( think it was 'To Walk a Pagan Path') and there was a chapter on creating a calendar meaningful to where you actually live...so I decided that this was going to be one of my projects for this yr.
It's pretty simple; just Journal what happens each month in the natural world around you. I live presently in E Tennessee and actually, the Solstices and Equinoxes pretty well "map" here in Loudon County but we can fine tune things.
This yr, of course, had to be anomalous;>! Normally, within a couple weeks of Winter Solstice we get temps in the high teens. This yr until last week it had actually got to 70F! Now, it's "seasonal" with today in the 40's.Due to the warmth my neighbor's early Daffs budded up and right now they don't look like they'd recover. Me? Mine are breaking ground and at least one Snowdrop has buds, though most are just breaking ground a well.
We've also got Canadian Geese, Ducks and at least one Heron here on the inlet....a BIT early.
Preliminary name for 1st month; "Frikkn Freezing Moon";>!
Cheers,
Pat

Current Mood: accomplished
Current Location: Lenoir City(Nevermore;>!)
Current Music: Skald Radio

unclutter

How did the decluttering of the work space(s) go? Did you spend time looking for things that could go, move a thing or two, or have a wildly successful week? Or did you work on a different space instead?

For week four we are moving from decluttering spaces in order to make them more welcoming to us, to making our space more welcoming to others. What this might look like

Is it difficult to get into the house? Option: work out what of the stuff in the front hall / entrance / verandah / front step is useful to have there, and deal with (some of) the rest. If that stuff is clutter to be rehomed, maybe make the getting it out of the house a priority
Is there nowhere for visitors to put things when they visit? Option: go through the shoe rack / coat rack / other storage and getting rid of what you don't use so that there is space for visitors to leave their shoes / coats / other when they visit
Is there nowhere for a visitor to sit? Option: Clear a second chair! Or a path to a second chair!
Are there too many choices of tea, and none of them good? Option: get rid of the stale tea so nobody accidentally gets served it. Do not suffer stale tea.
Have your serving plates / company coffee mugs / tea cups seen better days? Are there good ones that never get appreciated? Consider: ditch the dodgy, have the joy of using the nice ones (and if the nice ones aren't ever going to get used, is it time to send them out into the world to bring joy to someone else?)
if you have a car and are a person who provides transport, is there clutter in there making life awkward?

Remember, this is a gentle challenge, and if you get one thing progressed, that is a big win even when you can't give yourself the credit.
