Hi :D

[oceangrey]

Welcome to my blog!

I'm more likely to be found on tumblr rather than here, but I thought I'd make this account because I've heard a lot of good things about Dreamwidth. If tumblr every actually goes down I'll probably be on here a lot more.

Stuff you're likely to find on this blog:

• Occasional knitting projects. I'm learning and I've made a couple of things, but there's still a lot more I want to try out. Eventually I might pick up crocheting as well. My ravelry account is here!
• Writing. (Mostly fanfiction——maybe eventually some original work? Who knows!) My ao3 account is here!
• Just me randomly blogging about my interests. This may include stuff I've read or watched recently, or maybe a subject I've become really fascinated in spontaneously. I'm hoping to study urban planning at uni, so if that works out expect me to post a bit about that :)
• I might occasionally talk about current events/political issues, as well as linking some resources. Most of this talk will likely be UK-focused because I live there. I'll be tagging this stuff with 'politics post'.

A bit about me:

• Nonbinary (they/it) and I like to go by Corrie, but I also accept nicknames based on my account name.
• An adult (at least 18 years old, born 2006).
• I'm a fan of many different genres of music, but the ones I listen to the most, as of making this post, are metal and goth. I'm planning on getting a lot of physical copies of my music (vinyl, CD, cassette, etc) so I might post about some of that! I'll be tagging that as 'music physical finds'.

About my fanworks/original writing: I'd love to see if someone was inspired by my works in any way, and I'd love to know if you do so! I don't have any problem with people building off my work, as long as they don't use AI to do so (I'm not a massive fan of it, for obvious reasons). If you want to translate my work, add it to another site, make a podfic of it, etc., please let me know! The answer will most likely be yes, anyway :)

That's all I have to put on here for now. Have fun looking at my blog——and if I know you from another site (e.g. we're mutuals on tumblr) don't hesitate to talk to me on here! :D

I prefer physical music media - the way an album is structured (esp those made pre-digital music era) has thought behind it. Eg. Pink Floyd. New Order's early albums had post-punk one side, and synthwave/electronic on the other. There was a purpose to it all.

Yeah album structure is something that I’m noticing a lot more when listening to albums originally released physically (especially with songs that lead into each other straight away on vinyl or CD). Also that’s a cool fact about New Order! I’ve not listened to much of their stuff yet but I’m planning to

yeah it's really unfortunate that the whole art behind album themes and ordering of the songs and what it means and the feel/moods it puts you in has become literally a lost art... everyone just buys single songs or listens to them via streaming or whatever the algorithm chooses for you...
