Being a fan of a famous historical figure is crazy, I will be like ‘wow finally seeing my waifu this year 🥰’ and it will be at his mausoleum

Most of the blogs in this little family are largely inactive but can I just point out most of us made these as teenagers or in undergrad but I'm pretty sure most of us are in grad school now.

Almost exactly a year later, and I'm officially an anthropologist and historian, albeit focusing on a different subject than this blog. I've had one of the most insane years of my professional life accepting and departing an executive role and fully deciding on museum work as my primary career. @mary-shelleys-ghost @lordbyronsuggestions mes amis, how are y'all doing?

@realpercyshelley first off, congrats! I may not post much but I still check these blogs and it’s cool to see what everyone has fallen into.

I used to work in provenancing medieval manuscripts based on handwriting and physical clues, but when Covid shut museums down I made some big changes. I now live in Scotland and work as a distiller at a scotch whisky distillery. But I still spend my free time in graveyards reading gothic literature (of course).

Today is Coleridge’s birthday, so feel free to take laudanum and recite the rime of the ancient mariner to every third person you see. You know the drill!

Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.

Percy Shelley being convinced he’s dying of tuberculosis and having ominous dramatic premonitions only to die in the silliest stupidest hubris-filled boating accident imaginable is, and you may disagree, hilarious.

[mary-shelleys-ghost]

Happy 231st birthday, @realpercyshelley! You don’t look a day over 200.

the burning of lord byron’s sexy, sexy memoirs was almost definitely the most tragic event in literary history. i must know the “evils, moral and physical” that he wrote of or i Will Die.
