New here

[southern_belle30]

So, I just moved over here from LJ.

 

I usually use Dreamwidth for roleplaying purposes, but after the....shall we say....shenanigans that Livejournal has been doing as of late, I decided it was time to pack my things and move.

 

 So....hi...?

It's great to finally see some activity on DW!

[southern_belle30]

Right?

As I mentioned, my journal is full of LJ salt (TM), as I am pretty sure everyone else is salty about the new "management".

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

That's an awesomely attractive icon of the Hiddles you have there my good sir/ma'am!

[southern_belle30]

Ma'am~!

I am embarrassed to say I'm hugely obsessed with him....

And I totally love your icons as well! :D

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

Never be embarrassed of your love for Hiddleston-- he is a part of my golden trio, not gonna lie though-- it was Loki that completely did me in with him-- he's so adorable!

[southern_belle30]

Guilty as charged over here.

I don't know if it's his boyish charm, that grin, or what that makes me swoon, but he does!

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

I think for me-- it's that he carries that 'loveable dork' look irl-- which I just can't resist!

[southern_belle30]

Me either!


Or, as someone said: "That beautiful sparkling smiling stupid angel face <3"

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

We share Marvel and Hetalia! (And of course, the Hiddles too!) Do you want to be friends perhaps?:

[southern_belle30]

Yes please! :D

[sgamadison]

I completely understand. I couldn't bring myself to agree to the TOS, and that's why I'm here.

[southern_belle30]

I mean, I loved LJ...until it started those shenanigans...



....and the salt came out.

[sgamadison]

Yeah. I've had a mirror account here at DW for years, and at the first of the year, I warned my friends that with the move of all servers to Russia, we'd now be subject to Russian law. I stated then I would probably not renew my LJ account when it expired, but I was torn because so many of my friends and communities were *there* and not here.

But I never expected to be shut out of my own account with a 'agree to this or else' new TOS aggreement. In a way. I'm glad for the hard push out the door, otherwise I doubt I would have made the effort to get to know people in the DW community. :-)

[southern_belle30]

Totally know that feeling all too well.


When I saw the "agree to this or else" thing, my reaction was "LAME" (as done by the Nostalgia Critic) and the move began.

Speaking of which...how big is your salt?

You got a jar of dir--salt? Mack truck salt? Godzilla salt?

[sgamadison]

Well, I'm not 100% convinced I know what you mean about salt--but I'd been on LJ for ten years and had posted over a million word of fanfic... So if by salt you mean upset/angry, I'd definitely put myself in Godzilla category. :-)

[southern_belle30]

Well, I meant being upset about the whole "conform or else" thing.


I don't even know what I'm salty about, other than that new changing of the bosses..if you could even count that...

[sgamadison]

That's kind of what I thought you meant, but I wanted to be sure. :-)

[arethinn]

Please forgive me if my icon phrasing makes you upset, but I'm being as honest as I can with the keywords.

This made me curious, so I went and looked. I'm puzzled what anyone would find objectionable about them?

[southern_belle30]

That would be my anxiety talking.

I'm always afraid that whatever keywords I have for some icon keywords would make others upset.
