Hello!

[sodium_amytal]

Is there an interesting story behind your username? Honestly it's too weird to explain in a blurb so just uhhh read this and search for "sodium amytal." I am a Bad Taste Basic Bitch™ (In all fairness, I made this username in my early 20s and spent a great deal of my fandom time intentionally pushing boundaries, so *shrugs*)

Location and language(s): USA. English.

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.): Late 20s.

Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending: Disregard of YKINMKATO. Shaming people for what they like. Just general ass-hattery.

Do you have an "About Me" post new friends can read to get a sense of who you are, the people you talk about regularly, etc.? Just looking through my profile or my journal posts should give you an idea of who I am. I just post artwork, fic, and random Youtube videos. 

Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful? It should be, if you're looking for things I'm interested in or my AO3 profile.

List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away: I'm very "ship and let ship." I'm not interested in discourse. I'm a big fan and proponent of RPF, so if that squicks or offends you, you might want to walk on by.

You mostly write about: Lately most of my entries are random Youtube videos, since I haven't been creating much content of my own lately. If/when I finish or start posting a fic, I'll definitely share it in my journal. Same goes for artwork. My fandoms tend to be all over the place, but right now I'm into the MCU.

You never or very rarely write about: Politics or general real-life things.

Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked? A mix. Sometimes I put the more "cringy" stuff under a lock, but that's usually just things I'm embarrassed about liking/creating.

Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)? I don't have that kind of energy, lol.

Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.): I'm so bad at maintaining a schedule. I tend to post whenever I feel the urge.

Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? I've been posting a lot of videos recently. I try to post art, but I'm not very productive right now. Also I love those journal meme things. I could post those all day.

What do you enjoy most about journaling? That I can put things under lock, and the lack of retweeting/resharing that lets things get out-of-control viral.

How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)? Multiple times daily. I refresh that shit like it's a Tumblr dash. 

You really enjoy reading about: Fannish thoughts, meta, reviews, fanfic, tutorials, journal memes.

You have very little interest in reading about: personal posts

Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? All fine by me! I love that stuff.

When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity? Quality, for sure. I won't turn my nose up at quick "cool art!" comments, but I really love in-depth thoughtful comments, especially on my writing.

Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly? Nah. I'm not super great at commenting, so I can't blame anyone else for being quiet.

What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals? I usually only comment when I have something to say. I try to comment on art posts more often than not. Despite seeming like a brash jerkoff, I'm actually a shy bean who's terrified of saying the wrong thing, and without a "like" button I can't really communicate that I've seen your post in a way that pleases my introvert brain.

When you friend someone, but things don't really click, do you unfriend them without warning, or do you send them a note first? How do you prefer to be unfriended in similar circumstances? I usually just unfriend without warning. I go through fandoms pretty quickly, so I can understand if someone unfriends because they're no longer interested in my stuff. No hard feelings.

AND LASTLY

Friending memes often ask people to list their favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., but more often than not, those aren't things people actually write about in their journal. Do you have any favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., that you DO often write about -- not necessarily in a fandom sort of way, just in general? I'm heavily into Marvel right now, so hit me up if you're into the MCU! (I need friends to flail to about my WIP!) Other than that, my fandoms tend to fall on the obscure side (just check my journal's sidebar tags to see what I mean). I also write/draw original stuff if you're into that, though I don't post about my OCs as much as I should. 

Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends? I'm really not as abrasive as this post probably makes me seem! ;o; I'd love to meet new people who share my interests or like my content!
