About me

Hello there! Welcome to my neocities, my tiny corner of the internet where I try to escape the scrolling™.
What is there really to say? I am in my 30s, I currently reside in Italy (by way of being born here) and I have a boring 9 to 5 that I carry out so I can enjoy the rest of my time.

This website is partly commonplace book, partly scrapbook and is all around badly coded by me with the help of a few (wonderful) web samaritans.

Hobbies & Favourites

reading - videogames - writing - cross stitch - knitting - hiking
fond of: flowers (if you can't tell already), fairy tales, mythology, spring and autumn, the sea, the woods, the moon & the stars and all things space, animals are super cute but bugs and spiders are underrated

Interests

The focus of my academic interest was English literature of t he 17th and 18th century, but I also have studied fantasy literature, critical theory as well as the interconnections between literature, narrative and game design. I've also developed a fascination with Italian Reainassance humanism as of a couple years ago.

I have an interest in politics and sociology, as well as philosophy. I have a layman interest in art, especially landscape art of the 17th and 18th century, and decorative art. Medieval history and ancient Egyptian history are my favourite periods to read and learn about.
I also find myself deeply entrhalled by modern conspiracy theories, for some reason I still don't comprehend. Though I do not believe them I find them and the surrounding crowd fascinating. Might've been being exposed to the X-Files at 4 years of age.
