The snowflake challenge wants me to update my fandom information

What can I say about myself? I should have an introduction page.

Hi, My name is Danielle. I go by Dani or Dani Rose. I turn 40 in May. I'm trying to find the enjoyment I used to get in blogging and making icons as well as participating in things but I haven't gotten to much of a start since one of my Cats is currently in the hospital.

I love Harry Potter fanfictions. I have mixed feelings about JK Rowling because I haven't read her essay myself and I've seen mixed opinions on her but Harry Potter was a great comfort to me as an abused teenager who wanted to kill myself until I finally ran away from home at age 18. I read almost anything. I have a soft spot for fanfictions where Harry gets the family he deserves.

I loved Bridgerton Season 1 but haven't yet watched Season 2 because Netflix raised their prices but I will.

I love Doctor Who. I haven't watched the series since Clara came on board although I've tried a few times it hasn't felt right.

I love videogames such as Stardew Valley, Dreamlight Valley, Banished, The Sims....

I still read the occasional MCU Or Miraculous Lady Bug fanfiction that catches my eye but I wouldn't say I'm actively seeking them.


I love languages and I study German on Duolingo, alongside Latin, Spanish and Italian. But mostly German because I took classes in my 20's and I know how to pronounce things.

Oh yeah, I'm married and have six cats. My childhood best friend is our roommate and we're a happy little family.

Sometimes a family is a girl, her husband, their five cats, her childhood bestie and her cat...

I've kind of gotten out of Harry Potter some time before the thing with JK Rowling came to my attention (before it happened / got big?) and with all of that, I thought I'd be out of it for good. However, I've recently dipped my feet into that fandom. To be fair, I mostly read stories that fixes plenty of issues in the wizarding world including prejudices and adults that try to keep Harry from danger while not doing anything to actually prevent danger from going to Harry...

It's also been ages since I saw Doctor Who. I started the first season with the female Doctor (13th?) and then completely lost track of new episodes coming out. I liked Clara, but I struggled to connect when the 12th Doctor came along. I wanted to like that Doctor - the stories just didn't do it for me and I think it was kind of a death knell. I liked the companions of the female Doctor, but also didn't connect to all of the stories. There were some good ones. Just not enough to revive the dwindling interest, I guess.

Family can look whatever we want it to look like!
