(no subject)

 I think my biggest problem w a big flashy blog thing like this is it feels like everything I say needs to be rambling, long, and full of actual thought.

It's easy with my Korean blog--it has a purpose. It's both practice and a way to write up what I thought about various books I've read in Korean. With this, it's been so long since I've written meta, or about fandom, or anything, that it's kind of like well.... okay, what's the point? 

Probably should just go find a prompt fill blog to write in and let the blog malinger.

Oh gosh, I have the same problem tbh x)
I'm trying to train myself into being more flexible on that subject but I don't think crossposting three-lines posts from tumblr will ever become an ingrained reflex... but oh well, we'll see how it goes I suppose :)

I feel this. I think most of the reason I let my DW go for so long was because I felt like I had nothing to say, and I still had a hangup about admitting I was in fandom and wrote fanfic (which is why my tumblr and ao3 and dw all have different usernames).

Yeah, the blog format just provides a whole different set of expectations, and it doesn't encourage nearly as much shitposting as I really enjoy. It's a place to talk and discuss, if that makes sense? Totally different vibe.

I've always kept personal stuff here; I used to write a lot of book reviews, recipes I'd invented...I liveblogged basically all of culinary school. I resisted Tumblr for a long time before finally being dragged into Loki fandom...The two sites are just for different things to me.

Yeah, absolutely agreed. The vibe is totally different, the style of posting, all of it. It's a hard transition, but putting it in terms of how I blog in Korean has been helping!
