Name: walterinsect
Using this name since I first entered this cyberworld back in…2005? All of my cyber presence is unified under this name. Recently I made some connecting points between this and my legal name, but under this name, I’m “almost real, but not quite”.
This blog:
This blog is a personal archive of walterinsect, to record thoughts and process at certain point in time, and this blog act as storage space for that purpose. Twitter account is used in the same way. Twitter records raw data of thoughts, whereas this blog act as storage for more organized, discrete thoughts with some logical coherence. Thus it is likely that it is worthless and not interesting for anybody. Unless you are dying of lack of useless texts to read, this is not a place for you.
I believe in outsourcing my thoughts and memory in an accessible way for future reference. In effect I record all the “shameful regrettable past” and through that I can record everything I thought at certain point in my life. I do this with clear objectives, and thus I am not trying to justify my severe case of Social Media addiction. No, really.
Who I am:
To name few attributes…
- Professional Otaku
I am now working in the content business, but details are under NDA. I stand between fandom, IP holders, and creators. - Japanese-English Translator
Both Japanese to English and English to Japanese. I used to work as a freelancer, but not anymore due to changing circumstances. I have been working in manga translation and Kickstarter related translation/customer support. Studying German and Finnish at the moment. - Anime Otaku
Stressful days during my high school years in Amsterdam led me to watch anime, and now a otaku of some sort. Watches many things, but works by Makoto Shinkai and THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Anime is my all time favorite. My personal research topic is THE IDOLM@STER, Revue Starlight. - Seiyu Otaku
Following Hayami Saori-san and Kisui Shio-san as my favorite seiyu. Hayamin’s solo music is GOAT, and Kisui-san’s musicals and acting career is shining with brilliance. - Yuri fan
As once named by my Twitter friend, I’m “Bi-yuri-ngual”. Loves Yuri novels, but mostly fanfic works on pixiv and Doujinshi. Started in Kan-Colle then went deeper with Cinderella Girls. - International Relations and Contemporary History nerd
I love contemporary history as a basis for current affairs. Especially interested in Finnish History during WWII. This somehow led me to live in Helsinki. - Military Nerd
Loves all military stuff, especially equipment. Land, sea, air, anything. Plays Airsoft.

The English account. The one mentioned in JPN is the main account. This one should be a lot less noisier than @walterinsect

List of all the anime I have watched(as far as I can remember). Too lazy to put ratings for everything.
Archive of Our Own: https://archiveofourown.org/users/walterinsect
Started using AO3 some time ago. Mostly for reading, just like Pixiv, but this place is for my personal project to translate fanfics I fell in love with. Not much progress though.
