🦭 Pinniped Post 🦭
I like stuff, and things. Sometimes I talk about them but mostly I don't. With all affection: don't follow if you need things tagged, I remember to tag something maybe three times a year.
I enjoy talking to people, despite being Awkward and Weird. Asks and messages are always open.

(in order of them occurring to me and vaguely sorted by type, to be added to whenever I remember and/or feel like it)

Killie et al
Linguistics. I particularly enjoy PIE, but linguistics and language in general are my beloved and have been since I was a very wee thing.
Prehistory
Prehumanity (I'm fascinated by that nebulous wibbly-wobbly long slow process of us becoming us.)
History, particularly: the bronze age; the bronze age collapse; the Greek dark ages; the Etruscans; the Minoans; ancient Egypt, particularly Hatshepsut but all of it generally, up to and including the Ptolemy ptimes; the roman republic; early medieval era, particularly in Britain; three kingdoms period of China; the Renaissance, particularly in Italy; the English Reformation; Regency England/the Napoleonic era; and many, many more.

books
CJ Cherryh. All of it, but especially Foreignerverse. The atevi fascinate me, and if I'm lucky I'll be 1/8th as ferocious as Ilisidi in my old age.
Judith Tarr, particularly King and Goddess.
Vorkosigan Saga.
Discworld. GNU Sir Pterry. I like the Night's Watch books best, but it's a narrow win and almost everything else is tied for second, except the wizard books. They bobble along in a meandering third, arguing about it.
Georgette Heyer's regency romances. Pure comfort food.
The Animorphs
Emberverse (more conceptually than specifically; I have some qualms with the plot and the writing both as the books go on, but I can't deny the appeal of the concept.)
Wolf Hall
video games
Mass Effect (Garrus Vakarian is my space boyfriend)
Fallout (3 and New Vegas, 4 a little, I played 76 but it's not interesting to me from a fandom standpoint.) (Gob and Charon and Dog/God and Hancock are all my boyfriends. It's fine I can have a harem if I want.)
Rimworld
Oxygen Not Included
Colony sims, city-builders, and resource-management games in general
Ark
Pharaoh/Cleopatra and all the related games
Fallen London, Sunless Sea, Sunless Sky (-he sun the sun the sun the sun the sun the s-)
