First of all, it's... probably best I introduce myself, so that people remember who I am. I'm the-redjay/luckweaver from Livejournal. Since I'm 90% sure that my account was purged for inactivity, and even more certain that it's a disorganized mess, I decided to get back into blogging on a new platform.

Thanks, @elisi. You always drag me back in just by being, well, you.

So to begin with - if you manage to find me again or vice-versa, what did I miss? What's been up in the life of you? How are you handling the closet fire that is 2020? Created anything new in the world of fandom or otherwise?

I have been blogging. Long story short, I lost my job because of Covid so I started a website where I blog about divination, polytheism and magic, and sell little workbooks and exercise pdfs on the same subjects. It's slow-going, but I'll share the link if anyone is interested.

Second, I don't know if any of you ever knew my real name, but... I'm in the progress of legally changing it, and my gender marker! I'm still semi "in the closet" - ie. my family will probably never know - but I use they/them pronouns exclusively, now. I also go by the name 'Lee', which is technically short for 'Lífþrasir' (leef-ruh-seer). But Lee is good. I chose the name from Norse mythology, Lífþrasir being one of the people who survives Ragnarok. I've been through a lot the past few years, and I reckon I've survived.

I'm an auntie now! A nearly three year old I'm going to refer to as Roo who is likely autistic due to trauma from her birth parents and a nearly two year old with microcephaly here called Turtle. They're being raised by my husband's parents full-time, which is... great, really. I don't want to get into the gloomy details, but they're in a much better place now, and I love them to pieces.

Animal parenting wise, since I last blogged we began rescued three rats and a bunny on top of our four ferrets. The bunny - Aster - is still with us, but two of the rats have passed from old age, so now we just have the equally old Chewie. Ferret-wise, my pride and joy, my first born son Floki passed away just over a month ago. It's left an open wound in my life, but he's in a better place now; he was old, and cancer struck hard and fast. We have three ferrets about the same age now, two of whom are also rescues - Locke, Robin and Sera. I'll also be dog-sitting for ten days later in the month.

Right now, my two main projects (outside of the blog) are renovating my house inside and out (we're tearing the deck down on Saturday something something mutters lousy neighbours meddling) and re-writing the stories about my Doctor Who OC, Rodageitmososa, who interacts heavily with @elisi's AU world! I've improved a lot as a writer, and I figured Roda deserved that care and attention, and it allows me to fix some inconsistencies. Hopefully I'll post the first chapter of her semi-reboot later on today.

So... yeah! That's pretty much where I am, right now. This is the one and only not-friends-only private post, just so that people can find me again. From here on out, I'll be a little locked down for personal things, but my fandom stuff and general mumblings will be public. Welcome aboard, and I hope we'll all be talking again soon!

Part two of this post is: if you've stumbled upon my blog, and you would like to friend me, I am very much open to friending new people and getting to know them! I'd just like a little nudge here as to who you are before you send the request :) Even if we've never talked, just a "I found this and thought we'd get along" is enough, and if you're someone from my LJ days that I've not yet tracked down please say hi!!

Thanks, elisi. You always drag me back in just by being, well, you.
Awwww. <3 <3 <3 I shall keep dragging you back in that case!

I've been through a lot the past few years, and I reckon I've survived.
Go you! Glad that you seem to be coming through onto the other side.

I'm an auntie now! A nearly three year old I'm going to refer to as Roo who is likely autistic due to trauma from her birth parents and a nearly two year old with microcephaly here called Turtle.

Oh goodness. Am glad the kids are now well-cared for and happy, but it sounds like it's been a nightmare.

my first born son Floki passed away just over a month ago. It's left an open wound in my life, but he's in a better place now; he was old, and cancer struck hard and fast.
Oh noes. I remember Floki!! Rest in peace little fella.

Do you want me to signal boost this post?

First of all - love the icon.
'Staged' is my 2020 blanket. ♥

Done!

Ooh is it a whole thing? I've only seen a clip, something to do with "me and my family sketched pineapples yesterday". Which cracked me up.
OH MY GOD YES. It's a six episode show created & filmed entirely during lockdown. It David Tennant & Michael Sheen playing themselves (so slightly exaggerated) with a lot of guest stars. It is very very funny and very very wonderful and I am currently watching it for the 3rd time. ETA: Avoid spoilers!!

Hey! You don't know me, but it looks like we have a good few interests in common (Marvel, Good Omens, Mythology, Steven Universe, Harry Potter, Ladybug & She-Ra to name a few! I don't make content for all those things but it's nice having folks around that are into them) - would you mind if I subscribed?
It's alright if you don't want to let me into friends-only stuff, or if you'd rather refuse :)

Sorry, sorry for the lateness of saying something here, but at least we have already said hello again elsewhere :) :)

Lífþrasir, or Livtrase in modern Norwegian is a great name, a favourite of mine. I am glad you've gotten through the hardships you've had to handle.

Yay for being an aunty <3 I am glad the kids are in a safe place now.

Good luck with the renovations and writing!

The only modern language derived from Norse that still buses the thorn letter is Icelandic (at least I don't think Faroese still use it...) but of course the old Edda poetry and Sagas have been translated into Norwegian as well, and many of the stories and names are well known and popular. Livtrase is not a much-used name these days, unlike Liv which is used more, but it’s possible to name your kid Livtrase.

I just started using Duolingo some weeks back, to learn Finish. Don’t really know why I wanted to learn Finish; it’s just been something that’s been in my head. Why did you want to learn Norwegian? Have fun getting back to Norwegian if you do, and you’re welcome to ask if you have questions about it.


I hope the kids remain safe :)
