My tumblr url: Deleted! Here now! Used to be dalearmitage, annoyangle, unifiedweirdnesstheory, spaceisyrbutt. I mostly did RP on Tumblr.

Other sites: This is pretty much it. I'm trying to wean off all the social media sites that are based on clickbait and eyeballs and get back into creating dedicated longform content.

My fandoms: Gravity Falls, Twin Peaks, King Falls AM, Adventure Time, Hannibal, Fullmetal Alchemist: B, Real Ghostbusters, Max Headroom, The Venture Brothers, Youtube longform essayists like Lindsay Ellis, Folding Ideas and Red Letter Media. I cut my teeth on culture jamming content from Negativland, EBN and their like: stuff from the A/V Geeks and the Prelinger Archive, too. I'm a SubGenius minister, but not a dick about it. I have complicated feels about David Lynch and his work. I can't stop watching cooking shows like Hell's Kitchen and Great British Bakeoff. Big fan of Charlie Brooker ever since I discovered the Screen/Game/Weekly/Newswipes and How TV Ruined Your Life ; oddly enough, haven't really managed to watch all of Black Mirror yet tho... I like other British shows too, mostly comedy and light quizzes like Monty Python, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Mitchell & Webb, The Young Ones, Bit of Fry and Laurie, Upstart Crow, QI... I generally keep an eye on anime and try to find one show to watch per season, though I prefer older stuff like Yamato, Gundam, Bubblegum Crisis, Dirty Pair, etc.

I'm super keen on spooky small towns, Pacific Northwest Gothic, trees, tea, liminal spaces, tarot readings and tarot cards, and, as Agent Cooper once put it, "What we fear in the dark and what lies beyond the darkness."

Finally, I will never stop recommending Robert Hughes' absolutely epic Shock of the New miniseries or John Berger's Ways of Seeing - such food for thoughts about the relationship of art, media, and how they both shape and comment on society.

What kind of content I post: Generally a mix of RP with my OC (journal entries, WIP and the character's random thoughts), short-form writing, complaining about my creative block, and smatterings of personal this and that. I have gotten used to Tumblr's 'lurk quietly and reblog pretty aesthetic' so in a certain sense it feels like writing longer posts is learning to walk all over again. I'm not sure what would even interest people...

Access/commenting policies:
Nothing for now, I might have a policy later..

Anything else?: I feel like I don't have much of a 'fandom identity' and I'm still sort of ambiguous as to whether trying to develop one is a good thing or a bad thing, given the state of the Internet in play at this point. Things are so different now than in 2007, and it's hard for me to want to stick my neck out very far (though I am actually fairly opinionated about some stuff.) Censorship is blossoming everywhere, everything is always terrible RL... Finding the balance of 'providing interesting things and opinions for other people to read' and 'protecting myself from brigading' is something I'm still trying to work out. I like using the word 'literally' too much and also using ellipses too much.
