Prix's Interests

General

education, religion, philosophy, faith, fandom, fandom history, social justice, language, dogs, food, fanfiction, fannish creativity

Music

I love the instrumental themes and scores from movies and TV. I like to listen to them while I write or take walks. If something has lyrics, I want to be able to hear and understand them. I like a sampling of most genres. Lately, I listen to the alternative station when I'm stuck in the car, but I also listen to top-40 and hip-hop/R&B. NGL, I am a big Taylor Swift fan, and she ends up being my go-to a lot. Unironically learned to like Fall Out Boy as an adult. I like Panic At The Disco!'s newer music but not their/his older stuff so much. I thought an opinion about FOB and Panic were kind of necessary for this website.


Also, Dolly Parton is a gift.

Movies

Bloated corporate media franchises have more of my heart than I would like, the MCU in particular. I love a lot of its stories, but I am rather disillusioned with it as a product. I used to love Star Wars a lot. That one, I'm even more disillusioned with, because TROS was a disaster. I love TLJ a lot, and I like the other seven movies pretty well.


One-off movies I like include: Breakfast At Tiffany's; Push; Secondhand Lions; The Shawshank Redemption; That Thing You Do; Pacific Rim (only the first one); Romeo + Juliet; While You Were Sleeping; Pride and Prejudice (2005)

Television

I'm using this box to be about other unspecified media, too.


I watch a lot of true crime documentary shows and YouTube Channels. I also listen to podcasts of this nature. I like documentaries in general for casual TV watching. I like to learn something or to follow the process of an investigation or something. This kind of television-watching is more of an intellectual or curiosity investment than an emotional one, even if it incites emotions in me. It's still lower-stakes for me than getting emotionally involved in a fictional universe. I'm selective about those, but mostly because I tend to hyper-fixate if I really like something.


I like some live-action shows, and I like some anime. As an anime fan, I could not care less about the "current season" stuff. With anything, I tend to sit with things I like and revisit them over and over more than move on to new material. It's both a problem and a comfort, but not a problem I'm trying to fix.


The most recent "new" thing I really enjoyed was The Flight Attendant on HBOMax.


Current primary fandoms are: Type Moon (Fate; Kara no Kyoukai); SciAdv; Dragon Age


Doctor Who (2005) has a lot of staying power as an interest, but I haven't watched much since Clara left. I plan to. One day. I just really love Clara, and I got distracted.


I have a love/hate relationship with Agents of SHIELD. Skyeward fan forever.

Books

I went to university for English, in part, but since high school and the rapid expansion of the internet's accessibility and constant relevance, I have not been an avid real-book reader. I'm not sure I'm ashamed so much as hopeful that one day I'll develop the self-discipline. I read a lot on a screen, sometimes even books, but I often read articles, fanfiction, and social media websites instead of books.


That said...


Good Omens (loved the show, almost finished the book); The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Lolita (not aspirational but beautiful and important imo); The Great Gatsby (probably the same as the last parenthetical)

Heroes

I have personal-life people I admire and respect, but I don't really want to list them here. Otherwise...


Dolly Parton is a great example of someone who uses her wealth and influence for good, embraces the (mostly white lbr) culture she came from while promoting and learning about other cultures, and is just generally really cool.


That said, I'm sure if you went digging there's something problematic and flawed about her, too. Don't idolize real people to the point that it feels like it reflects badly on you when you find yourself disappointed by them.

Prix's Blurbs

About me:

You can call me Prix. I'm 30 years old which means I am old enough to remember the original MySpace but not really old enough to have used it much. A friend told me about this website as an amusement or curiosity, but I became genuinely interested, because I miss How the Internet Used to Be.

My pronouns are she/her. I'm fine with they/them.

I am here because I am interested in making a snazzy, if garish, profile. I want to practice and study CSS and HTML in the fun way that websites like this allowed a person to do way-back-when, before corporate consolidation of the internet made everything a little less fun.

My primary presence online is related to fandom. I have other interests, too. I'm passionate about real social justice. I don't think bullying within fandom has anything to do with social justice. Don't treat fictional characters better than real people. You can't protect them; they're not real, no matter how real they are in your heart.

I despise capitalism in its current form, care about doing a better job with our environment, and think big corporations probably need to die. I care about poor and marginalized people's problems and experience some of them myself. I'm not a communist either. I tend more toward socialism than anarchy in my ideology, but I don't think violent political seizure is feasible or the right answer.

Who I'd like to meet:

Sincere people. I totally get that the MySpace/emo aesthetic probably invites a lot of memeing and irony in this day and age for anyone who is old enough to remember it rather than be experiencing it for the first time. To the extent that I end up using this website, I'm going to basically assume that you're at least 18 if you're interested in anything I'm doing here. That said, at this time, I don't mind minors who are old enough to use the website looking at anything I do or post directly here. I'm a pretty PG-13 kind of person most of the time, though some (not most or all) fanfiction I write is intended for adults-only audiences. I expect you to follow the rules and your own conscience for following any embedded content of that nature. I may block minors in the future if things get weird, and if I do, it's not personal. It just depends on how this platform feels.

It's hard to say who I would like to meet. I am pretty open-minded and friendly! That said, if we have nothing in common, I probably won't maintain contact or interact just for the sake of it. I'd love it if I made friends here, but I am not going to try to collect people like trading cards.

I think it is actually easier to explain the kinds of things I am not interested in interacting with, so...

I won't interact and may block the following types of people:

  • People who are unable or unwilling to read the relevant parts of my profile, such as this one, before interacting.
  • People approaching me with pick-up lines or intrusive questions or requests.
  • People who are anti-religion. I am religious, and I am protective of the expression and meaning of even those faiths I don't follow. I'm totally fine with atheist and agnostic people. This is about how you view or refer to the phenomenon of religion itself. You can keep your disaffected or angry Flying Spaghetti Monster nostalgia to yourself. I recognize that religious trauma is a very real thing, and I respect that some people have a long way to go before they are comfortable with discussing or interacting with religion, but I don't accept people dunking on it around me.
  • People who discriminate against marginalized groups.
  • People I get a generally weird vibe from. (Sorry if you're perfectly nice.)
  • People who do not even try to make their grammar and spelling comprehensible.
  • People with brand new or unfinished profiles. I don't expect a masterpiece, but I'm not interacting with anyone until the text part of my profile is solid enough to give you an indication of who you're dealing with. I expect anyone I interact with to have done this same, even if you're not as wordy as me.

I know that may feel like a lot. I already feel a little silly for taking this website so seriously, but it's not exactly that. It's that I do have my main online social presence elsewhere. I'd love for this to be a fun experience, but I am setting clear boundaries because that's one thing I miss about Web 1.0 and because I don't want to have to spend a lot of time after-the-fact defining my boundaries.
