boringmuseHello everyone! I only recently discovered this website and it looks like it has a great community, which is why I joined! As an introduction, I'm Isabella, XVII, and find interest in art, books, music, attractive men, films, and period dramas. I do own a Tumblr (angelvault.tumblr.com) which has about 2K followers at the moment, but I feel like this website is more authentic as people actually write their own posts whereas a majority of Tumblr is people reblogging others' posts (which is great and all, but still strange to me).
I'll probably use this site to rant about life and also gush about my favorite fictional pairings and shows and all that. Pride and Prejudice is probably my favorite thing to exist; Jane Austen is brilliant. I've read P&P and Emma by her and can't wait to indulge in the rest of her novels. The fandoms I find myself a part of are quite widespread; I recently watched Stoker (2013) which has got me hooked. Actually, a lot of the films Mia Wasikowska has starred in tend to be favorites, Crimson Peak (2015) is another (also Tom Hiddleston!). Other random movies I greatly enjoyed are Amélie (2001), Heathers (1988), Dead Poets Society (1989), and Les Yeux sans Visage (1960), an unsettling and poetic French horror film.
Aside from Pride and Prejudice, my favorite books include The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Jane Eyre, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Awakening (by Kate Chopin), and In Cold Blood. There's obviously more to list but this post would be getting too lengthy by that point.
DW looks promising; I hope I get to make some friends! I haven't met anyone IRL who shares my interests, so online is really the only place I can seek refuge in for these kinds of things. Happy holidays to all!

It's helped me a great deal even though bad things happened before that I can't change, but this is so similar to the internet of my past. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for making me feel better in your hopeful words. Take care.
