I'm an incurable writer. Original stuff, fanfics, all kinds of sh*t. I also love reading, dogs, animals in general, baking, walking, and laughing at the random stuff my brain comes up with. I also have controversial ships. Live and let live, please.

Fandoms I'm in or love: Skulduggery Pleasant, Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts, Lockwood & Co, Dr Strange (movies), Sherlock BBC (also ACD Sherlock, Mary Russell series, and Elementary), Day of the Jackal, The Aeronauts, Little Women...and possibly more? I've read all the Riordan books...

Individual books I love (and their fandoms): Jane Eyre, Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Villette, Shirley, (or anything by the Brontes), Emily's Ghost, The Blue Castle, Knights of the Borrowed Dark trilogy, The Lost World and The Poison Belt, I Capture The Castle, Little Women, and many more I can't think of right now. Little-kid-me demands that I also add A Little Princess and Coral Island to this list...

Music I love: Roxette, Taylor Swift, Adele, Emeli Sande, Enya, Dua Lipa, and some other select songs, like Money Run Low by The Score.

Songs I can't stop listening to that might well be a part of my DNA by now: Haunted, Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince, Listen To Your Heart, Anywhere Is, Getaway Car (my no.1 spotify wrapped this year, and i'm not ashamed), I Knew You Were Trouble, The Look, This Love, Wonderland, There's Nothing Holding Me Back, Blow Your Mind, The Wind and a bunch more. If you're a Swiftie, DM me your favourites. Let's agree and argue and have fun!

I am so emotionally mature for my age that I've been told I have the soul of a pensioner. It was a compliment and I'm taking it as such.

In one country I am tall, decent-looking, and socially funny. In another I'm average-heighted, average-looking, and averagely-funny. Which is weird for my esteem and opinion of myself. Whatever.

I'm not a very ambitious person. My great dream in life is to be an author. I'm also funny, weirdly knowledgeable about niche things, and addicted to chocolate. (It's becoming a problem).

Send me asks or interact! I'll send asks or interact in return - or random asks whenever I'm bored. I love meeting new people. Whoever, whatever you are, just so long as you're not a...Think of all the worst kinds of people. If you're not one of 'em, then hang out with me.

@the-archivist-system is my beloved adopted sibling and one of my best friends 🐾 They're the only one who gets to call me Logios, because of this post!!✨️

Thank you to @dramatic1nlyf for this amazing moodboard!!!!

AFJAFSGHHDAF THANK YOU @skeletal-spire-man-aka-overfit this literally made my YEAR

And lastly, here are song lyrics from songs that have stuck to me like glue, arranged to tell a vaguely coherent story.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile

You’ve got the words to change a nation but you’re biting your tongue

Something keeps me holding on to nothing

Who can say where the road goes, where the day flows?

And you know it’s never simple, never easy

Wasn’t it beautiful, running wild till you fell asleep?

I’m only one, but not alone, my finest day is yet unknown

You go there, you're gone forever, I go there, I'll lose my way

God rest my soul, I miss who I used to be

I attend Christmas parties from outside

It’s all fun and games til somebody loses their mind

There’s no comfort in the truth, pain is all that you’ll find

I held that grudge till it tore me apart

It’s the first time, the last time, we ever met

It's no surprise I turned you in, 'cause us traitors never win

You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes

And now they’ve broken you like they’ve broken me, but a shattered glass is a lot more sharp

And if I’m on fire, you’ll be made of ashes too

I pass it and lose track of what I’m saying, cause that’s where I was when I lost it all

Always learning everything the hard way

Some say illusions are her game

Don’t you worry folks, we took out all her teeth

And nobody comes to save you now, but you got something they don't

When the violence causes silence, we must be mistaken

I remember all of the things that I thought I wanted to be

When you’re young, you just run, but you come back to what you need

So, baby, can we dance, oh, through an avalanche?

You don’t need to save me, but would you run away with me?

Cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world

"Don't you see the starlight, starlight? Don't you dream impossible things?"
