Hello! Welcome to the blog. I'm oldromantisism (was t1cket-to-ride if you're confused). Call me whatever you please, I don't mind too much.
NO DMS ASKING FOR AID. I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE.
If you come across an anonymous ask, signed off as 'The mad Count', it might be me. I also occasionally use -🕯️
Although I don't feel comfortable revealing much on the internet, here's what you should know
I'm Scottish, and usually operate in the GMT time zone.
I have autism, along with balance and hearing impairments
I have a habit of rambling when I do actually post something, so expect my nonsense to be long.
Have some fun facts about me, for your time
I have a large collection of rocks
Despite my appearance, I'm the first generation of my family (in recent history) to be scottish
I was born missing the nerves in one ear that control my hearing
My family own the jacket of my ancestor, who was around in London, when jack the ripper was active, in the area he was seen in.
I could give some more, but I don't want to bore you. Feel free to ask for some other random facts if you're interested.
When it comes to fandoms, I have too many to list. Here's the important ones:
The Magnus Archives, FNAF, Sonic (you can thank @crossovergirl1 for this one. The sonic interest was not by choice.), Undertale / deltarune, ULTRAKILL, inscryption, hollow knight / Silksong, Bloodborne, and many others I can't be bothered to list here.
Music (I listen to almost everything), History (especially the history of my own country), myths and legends, old / physical media, the classics and gothic horror, Sci-fi, alternative style (I dress somewhat goth-ajacent, and find the history interesting), TTRPGS, period and historical fashion (runs in the family, that's what my mother did her college course on.), gothic architecture, nature and animals, and geology / rocks.
These will be what I use from now on
#the mad count's ramblings - my posts, and (rarely) whatever I write
#the duke - posts from Grimm, my mutual and close friend
#the court - posts from all my mutuals, or my friends
#letters and memoirs - reblogs
#the gallery - art reblogs
#creatures of study - animals of any kind
#the familiar - my cat, greebo.
#messages of note - important posts, such as this one.

I can't be bothered to go through and edit every single post I made or reblogged until the URL change, so I'll list what they mean here:
#ticket ramblings - my posts, rare.
#station master - photos of my cat, greebo
#return tickets - reblogs. make up most of this blog
#train graffiti - art. Usually done by others
#passengers - my close friends or mutuals
#train announcements - important posts like this one
P.S: Thanks for reading all this. I understand it's a long pinned post, but I do appreciate it. Feel free to ask me anything you want, my inbox is always open.
Please, remember to drink water and take care of yourself, as much as you can. It doesn't matter how much, just that you do it.
Even though humanity feels like it's falling apart right now, all we can do is continue to live through it, one way or another. It may feel fruitless, but, alas, what else can we do?
