Belated Snowflake Challenge #1, Icebreaker
Jan. 4th, 2026 04:09 am
Okay, I'm caving to temptation and adding to the roster of people on my flist doing this!
So: Hi! I'm J, they/she, from Norway.
I've never tried the Snowflake Challenge before, but it sounds like a fun way to get activity on my feed, and maybe remind myself to post more often. I find I struggle with the "effort" to keep up with DW as opposed to just scrolling something, but I hope it's just a matter of habit!
I'm a medievalist by training (using "medieval" in the broad, anglosphere sense; in Scandinavian terms my background is in Iron Age studies, i.e. the Viking Age and preceding eras, plus Old Norse lit). I don't blog about it really, but an interest in linguistics and history definitely informs my likes in general!
I'm semi-active in fandom: I write fic (ao3) and once in a blue moon I'll make an edit or some icons, and I do a lot of writing over discord. I've got a list of my fandoms here which is mostly up to date. Atm I'm very invested in classic Doctor Who. Other big favs are Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek TOS, The Terror, Vampire Chronicles, Withnail & I. A good chunk of my posting is fandom related.
Things I watch and read will probably crop up. Generally I enjoy older media a lot! I'm your classic "not keeping up with current TV shows because I'm too busy watching old ones" tumblr user (my tumblr is here btw). I read more genre than literary books, mainly classics, older horror, historical, and some fantasy, plus nonfiction!
