nadjarachel_importSeeing as I have seemed to acquire several since my last post, I am making another filterpost. Again. You don't need to reply to this one unless you want ones you think you might not have, btw. Fair warning, though, I reserve the right to say no to adding you if I'm not comfy with it.
Also, if you ended up taken off of one that you were on, it's probably due to comfort levels. If you want to know why or want back on it, though, please let me know. PM is preferable. Thanks~
So, repeating my disclaimer: My journal's friends only. This is partly due to the fact that I have no idea what people want to read (and have a penchant for not commenting and letting me know *gives everyone a look*), and partly due to the fact that based on the topic, I am varying levels of protective over my writings and who sees them. So, I make up an (increasingly complex) system of filters.
Sexuality/Relationships: Fairly self explanatory. Sexual things, relationship things. Mostly, though not entirely, revolving around a bunch of wtf and issues I've got concerning those aspects. BDSM tends to be in this category as well, and it sort of varigates between sexual and non-sexual. There are also a bit of squeethings written under this filter, and I'm going to try to post more of those up in the future. Sexuality=/=Relationships, btw. Often, they're quite different. I put more than only my romantic relationship up here. Also-I am poly, as my profile gives fair warning to, so if there's anything in that aspect that I feel comfortable with having public, it'll also be in here. Also, fair warning-anything sexual could well be uncomfortable. I don't give many details at all, but neither am I discreet in my wording. There will usually be a BHI/TMI warning label in a cut, however-if you end up squirming, you were warned.
Theriantropy/Otherkin: I am both otherkin and a therian. Elf and horse for certain, cat is iffy, and sort of...therian by default unless more specific elaboration is requested. This means, for those of you (do I have any?) who don't quite know what I'm talking about, that I believe that while I am in a human body, and thus human, that my soul is otherwise-is that of an Elf, an Arabian horse, and possibly a Jaguar. That's my origin for my otherkin, in any case, there are certainly quite a few. This filter is for the writings I do that are otherkin or theriantropy specific. They may be shifted, they may be thoughtstreams, they may be something else. There's still a bit of identity-confusion regarding this, so some (fairly redundant, at this point) identity-puzzles might be included here.
Multiplicity: I'm still quite hesitant to accept the label multiple, however as there are two other people in my head, it suffices as a filter name. I have two headmates, one named Alyssa, one named James. I had a prior named Shadow. All three are/were trauma splits. Alyssa has gained separation from myself, James has not-though he is quite certainly his own person. This filter is for any posts regarding multiplicity, whether it be specifically my headmates, or multiplicity in general.
Alyssa: Posts written by Alyssa, if she chooses to write. Since she's now her own filter, there might be more postings from her. Despite the fact that she fronts fairly often, however, I'm honestly not sure how much she'll write publicly. She tends to be quite private, with the exceptions of a rare few people.
James: Posts written by James, if he happens to front and be on LJ at the same time. Don't expect much activity here, but feel free to request anyway. No idea if either he or Alyssa will add people they wouldn't mind on their filters even if they don't request, but I wouldn't count on it.
Dreams: I dream. A lot. I am also a precog, in a very light (and unpracticed, unhoned) fashion, and almost everything that I've "seen", as opposed to what is instinctual, has been through dreams. I've been a bit lax lately on my dreamwork (I should really pick that up again), however when I remember a dream and can write it down-and if I find it interesting enough/if it affects me enough-I'll write it up here. Nightmares usually end up posted, as those ones tend to have a large effect on me.
Past Lives/Memories: Yeah, I'm like most people, I had a life or two before this one. *wry grin* I tend to have some ramblings about them on occasion-much more rarely lately than before, granted-and I'm fairly paranoid about them, so they earned themselves a filter. The reasoning for the memories being separated from past lives is that some of the memories are from this life, but affect me about as much as past life stuff does. Past lives and memories have a lot of grey area with me, sometimes they overlap, sometimes they don't. Most of the writings on this-life memories are the pseudo-traumatic ones. I say "pseudo" because they could be considered as such, but none have left me with PTSD, so I consider them pretty light.
Self Work: I do quite a bit of introspection, and every so often I happen to make some progress. These writings are the in-the-process-of writings, and usually tend to be fairly analytically-toned, as opposed to emotional. Fairly self explanatory, honestly.
Religion/Spirituality: I'm pagan. Generic pagan, I don't really have that much of a direction aside from that. However, I have the Morrighan as a patron, and there are several other deities who've poked their ways into my life in some way or another, some by association, some otherwise. These are the writings that tend to correspond with that facet of my life.
Views: Opinions, beliefs, mindsets on various things. This one tends to be another of the analytically-toned filters, however I like to think it one of the more interesting ones. Though that may just be my ego. *grin* I'm not as closed off with this filter as I used to be, I tend to let more people on it. I also have tended to use it more lately than I had when I first made it.
Emotion/Family: Highly intense, highly emotional, highly brainfrying posts. Usually anger, depression, or panick/anxiety based. Sometimes, if I happen to be squeeing and on LJ at the right time (and if the squee is intense enough), squee posts as well. You are warned now, these will, likely, be quite incoherent and very low on the logical/rational/reasonable end of the scale. Anything regarding my family (born-with family, not acquired family/Herd) will be on here too. Mostly because the posts often tend to be along the same tone as the emotional ones.
Paganystuff: Milder generic weirdshit filter. The weirdshit I'm not so worried about sounding crazy for writing. Weirdshit being an umbrella term for the mystic, magick, metaphysics, generic occult, energywork, other such descriptors that go along with similar out-of-societal-norm lines. The descriptors that don't already have their own filters, I mean.
Weirdshit: The weirdshit that makes me paranoid, and that I worry about sounding crazy for posting. This is much more tightly filtered, and I'll only add you to this one if I feel safe with you on it.
Garb and Geeking: Okie dokey. I'm a geek. A huge geek. I am a gamer, I am a rennie. And I can go on for ages about any number of different aspects of both of those. Especially the costuming parts. Thats why there's a garb section. I plan to go to college for Fashion Design in three years, and before then (and after), I plan on having a side business designing and/or sewing garments for people, likely doing quite a lot of custom work, if I can manage it. This post is for those generic rambles. ....Sometime or another I need to write out an intro-to-Rachel-geeking, I think. It might be both entertaining and useful.
Work: I work in an airport. I am a cashier at a restaurant, at the busiest location that the company owns. This means my job is in turns stressful, entertaining, pissy, and just plain awesome. There will, likely, be quite a few work-related posts-and not all of them will be great to read-so I figured I'd make a filter for it. Request if you want to have some random entertainment, or have ways to appriciate your job that you never thought you'd have. *grin*
Household: Restricted to my roommates and I, and containing such issues as need to be talked about but might be more productive over text, and not in person. Unless you're them, no requesting. It's being listed for the pure and simple reason of "it exists".
House Of Matter: For those of you who are not aware, I am being taught various and sundry topics that are not entirely (and often quite the opposite) of the mundane by Gaarik. These are any writings, recordings, musings, puzzlings, questions, or any number of other things, on the lessons. They might go into quite a bit of detail, as one of the main uses for this filter is as a recording for myself. Please feel free to request to be on this filter, however both of us will be deciding who I put on the filter, as that is what I feel proper/necessary. Do not expect to be reading anything of this filter unless you request it.
Trusted: One of my tightest filters. What goes in here is the stuff that I am so paranoid about posting, that I almost don't, or almost put private. What is in here leaves me quite vulnerable, thoroughly uncomfortable, and usually is affecting me greatly in some fashion-or will, if the information is handled poorly by who is given access to it. Likely, this is the greatest blackmail that I put in my journal. *grin* You can request to be on it, however as I said-I'm incredibly picky. Some of these posts get switched to private, if I'm too nervous with them being public in any fashion.
UITLO (Updates In The Life Of): Somewhat detailed updates in the life of me, varying in length and content. Sometimes will have a few other filters on there, sometimes might not. Oddly enough, this is the one I'm more paranoid about than most others. Probably because I put a bit more of myself into these writings than in others, where I detatch bits of me and/or my energy from them almost completely.
And, of course-
General: Anything that could possibly NOT fit in any of the dozen-odd posts up there, goes in here. And this is, basically, restricted to my f-list, it doesn't even get a "real" filter.
Also, as an afternote: If you comment here, I'll let you know what filters you're on, except for my Trusted, UITLO, House Of Matter, and Household filters. If you're on the first three, you'll find out soon enough. And the third one is not having anyone aside from the roommates added, so it doesn't completely count.
Please, PLEASE comment here if you are reading this, even if it's just to say "I'm good, thanks", because otherwise I won't have a freaking clue what to put you on. I really hate having to go "Ok, well this person didn't comment, so maybe they'd like this one, and crap, they might like this one or they might go "wtbf?!?!", so maybe not.....". It sucks. Please let me know what you want here. And if you say "I don't care, whatever you like", be prepared to get more than you bargained for.
Also, if you ended up taken off of one that you were on, it's probably due to comfort levels. If you want to know why or want back on it, though, please let me know. PM is preferable. Thanks~
