I've had this account for a while but I've never done much with it. I guess I have trouble identifying conversations I could meaningfully contribute to. Ah well. Soooo here I am, I'm 23, Australian, not doing much with myself atm because as it turns out I'm bad at being autistic. Fandoms: Pokemon, Homestuck, Steven Universe, Animorphs, Star Wars. I like writing, I really like editing, I do some knit and crochet. I grow succulents. I want to make (online) friends or at least join a community but I don't know how, you know? I always end up just lurking forever.
Hi!! Hello!! I am awkward and I love friends!! I'm Pepe and I love homestuck and Steven Universe and Star Trek and Star Wars!! I knit, too!!
I offer the following advice: release the pressure of "meaningful contributions." Feel free to take tiny steps as you feel the place out. Hang out, click like on posts that you like, and join us in the occasional shitposting tangent. All those fandoms are pretty popular, there's likely to be people willing to joke about them or share theories and loves and grievances about them. And showing off pictures of crafty things is a good way to feel you've contributed.
welcome! i love to crochet, though i've tried unsuccessfully to learn to knit like 4 times. i like to grow succulents too! though i currently only have one jade plant. also i'm into every single fandom you mentioned! :D this forum is very chill, and i second everything @swirlingflight said. just hang out and you'll be fine.
haldo, i am exactly your age and also a lurksome autistic succulent-keeper. i too prefer editing to writing, so long as i'm not, erm, editing my own writing. which i actually have to do this week, OTL. anyway, hi, yes, you seem cool! community-friend!
Well, congrats, you've now joined a forum. Now you've reduced the problem to "how to participate". :P
Yeah, a couple of blankets. One knit, one crochet, both of them just about at the stage I can't easily take them places.
Ooo I crochet too and I love Steven Universe and Homestuck. You could try to join those respective threads in Fan Town? I mostly lurk too, but I do like talking about fandom stuff sometimes. You could also join the skype chats if you like that sort of thing. They can be hard to keep up with sometimes, though, so ymmv.
Welcome! :D I'm big into HS and SU as well, so I've gotta ask: fave characters? c: EDIT: Also, fave Pokemon?
Oh, gosh, so hard to choose, I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR Peridot is Literally Me a lot of the time, so if I had to pick one... but honestly every SU character is my precious child, every single one even Kevin Homestuck: Rose all the way, with Kanaya and Feferi and PM and Roxy as runners-up, but I love everyone here as well, the only Homestuck I don't like is Gamzee. Pokemon: changes a lot based on what's on my team. Current MVP and darling fave is Heracross, one before that was Ferrothorn, and the one I've loved the longest is probably Luxray. My favourite type, the one my team just isn't complete without, is always Grass (they're always so pretty and have such great status moves). The first Pokemon game I had was Diamond, so all my nostalgia got attached to genIV. and as usual I love everything in Sinnoh they are all my sweet lovely deathmonsters
