heartstopper is fine i guess. also, how do i use dreamwidth?

item one: lol remember when the point of my posts was to talk about the books i was reading? joke's on me i haven't read anything new lately just a goddamn lot of fanfiction and maybe 20 pages of eve kosofsky sedgwick's absolutely impenetrable work "epistemology of the closet". anyway i read the first two heartstopper compilations they were okay i don't think i'm going to read the other ones. or watch the show, which was my original plan. maybe i'm just too old for this shit now?

item two: i have a couple people following me (subscribed to me? granting me access?) now, maybe because of tumblr's whole skeleton crew scare? which is making me realize that actually i have no idea about dreamwidth culture. what the fuck do any of these words mean? is mutual culture a thing here? does just subscribing make us mutuals? how do people make friends on this website? dear the three people who follow me, please help?

I've completely lost any desire to continue Heartstopper because of the whole thing with Alice Oseman's "I'm better than those nasty yaoi authors that write SEX and FUCKING because I write soft cute uwu gay relationships!!!" shtick. I watched the first season of the show, it was fine but nothing to write home about.

For your last question, I've been using Dreamwidth for nearly two years and I feel like its more laid back here. There are a couple of people I consider mutuals because we comment on each others entries often, but there's not as much pressure to interact with others here. I'm sure there's a few people on here that read my entries but don't comment and that's completely fine.

subscribing is like following, granting access allows the person to see your restricted posts (some people make more heavy use of this feature than others)

yeah i'm ngl i have no idea re: item 2, i just looked up 'friends at the table' in the interests search and subscribed to any active journals that had it listed as one of their interests LOL. hello i am one of the new people. partly because of tumblr skeleton crew scare partly because i really do want to use dreamwidth more

hi! i post about f@tt here Not At All but odds are that since we have that in common we probably have other things in common, right?

[thegreatratsby]

that is exactly why i went and spam followed all active accounts who listed it as an interest!! 🤣 yeehaw
