~~*** Welcome to my blog ***~~

[got_quiet]

Hello! I'm Lea/GQ. I am mostly into Video Games, but also watch Anime sometimes, and read books. Fandomwise I am chilling deep in m/m land.

My fandom coming of age was anime fandom in like 2003. Expect old otaku behavior here.

Here is stuff I love and want to talk about! Bold is stuff I'm more fannishly active about. Links are to reading lists for that fandom.

Anime/Cartoons: Gungrave, Gankutsuou, Chiharafuru, Demon Hunters, Haikyuu, Ghibli, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun, Arcane, Metalocalypse

Video Games: Overwatch (including the esports scene), Hades, Dragon Age, Nu:Carnival, Honkai Star Rail, Against the Storm, Disco Elysium, Long Gone Days, Banner Saga, interactive fiction, and lots of indy games! I post visual novel reviews on a community sideblog playingstory

Books: The Tarot Sequence, Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, Les Mis, Whyborne and Griffin, Italo Calvino, Natsume Soseki, and lots of M/M

Movies: Inception, Thor's part of the MCU

Find me @

• alliwantisallofthis or my fanart spam sideblog vidyamen(I can't draw though T_T).
• gotquiet or xelamz for the spicier stuff.

Other hobbies I like to write about: Japanese learning, Japanese tea ceremony, collecting ephemera like book plates, and worldbuilding.

Most of my posts are public! Feel free to subscribe without asking. I only subscribe back for fandom blogs. Blogs that are almost exclusively personal or very negative in tone I will probably not follow, sorry. If you are interested in my approach to commenting/dreamwidth interaction, more detailed info is in my profile.

I write almost exclusively about fandom and not too much about real life things. I do flock personal posts but if you ask for access I will probably give it to you.

if you don't like typos, I am so, so sorry.

What sorts of m/m have you been reading? I think the last I've read was from the fantasy-romance mailing list I'm on... (I still need to write up some comments on their advent offerings.)

[got_quiet]

I've been bogged down with YA stuff that hasn't really hit lately, but the last book I read was Red, White and Royal Blue. I'm a fan of the Griffin and Whyborne series and the fantasy books of Ginn Hale, which tend to be darker.

[kalloway]

Thank you! I'll definitely check them out. (I know I've seen the Whyborne books mentioned somewhere before...)

[got_quiet]

I hope you enjoy them! The Whyborne books have a small, enthusiastic fandom so they do get mentioned here and there and show up in exchanges.
