new pinned post! i felt like i needed to re-introduce myself, for my own personal reasons (eg a deliberate abandonment of previous attempts to be a particular way online) SO hello this is an intro post. i'll probably keep adding to it/updating it over time.
my name is Esmé, i use he/they pronouns, i'm in my late 20s.
i'm autistic, nonbinary and asexual/aromantic. i am a naturalistic pagan, and i talk about that much more on my sideblog: @rainsandrains
my url is because i was very into classical literature for a while, especially the iliad. it's pronounced "A-kill-EY-us"
offline i'm a phd student, currently writing my thesis on the poetry of John Keats. i sing choral music and write poetry. i have a poem in a real published book, which you can get here! (my first real published work, so i'm excited)
online stuff:
fandom stuff you will see here a lot:
BBC Merlin
the band Ghost
misc other music (Nine Inch Nails, the Longest Johns, the Mountain Goats, a lot of folk and a lot of extreme metal (various black and death metal bands))
old fandoms you might see a bit of: The Magnus Archives, Les Mis
i have a website on neocities, on which you can see a lot of poetry, long form blog posts, lots of naturalistic pagan stuff, and the first attempts of an inexperienced coder (html is hard). over there you will also find my directory of resources for trans people in the uk
i have recently started uploading ukulele covers to youtube again, after not doing so for years.
you can find some of my poetry on my neocities, but i also post some of it here: #my writing
very occasionally (hopefully more often from now on), you'll find my own drawings and paintings here: #my art
personal posts are tagged #esme.txt (be warned, i do delete old stuff - if you think you remember something and now it's not there, it's not your memory, i've just deleted it)
finally, this was my previous pinned, and i want to keep it pinned, so:
