Welcome!

Greetings, traveller! Welcome to Highly's House of the Peculiar. Public posts are mostly bookish: regular reading updates (What are You Reading Wednesdays, only I normally do them on weekends), book reviews, and other bits and pieces.

Fandom-adjacent, but not a Fandom Blog. Links to fannish discussions occasionally, but would probably rather not end up on a fandom meta roundup. Don't mind if fandom accounts follow me, but probably won't follow back for fic or shipping centred accounts.

My photoblog crossposts to [personal profile] speculumannorum, and I also occasionally repost or unlock photo and poetry posts here.

Access locked posts tend to be personal navel-gazing: I do grant access, but usually only if I've interacted with you a bit first.

1: Ahem. Sorry it was late I should have finished that joke I forgot to finish the joke I'm a horrible person. AEthelbert (after the archbishop, yes) is called Ash. Everyone except his brother calls him Ash. That's the big joke. Aside the fact their mother gave them both dishearteningly unwieldy names to prove her piety.

2: ...XD. sometimes I think I'm going to write a paper about St. Brigid lore and hagiography enhancing the role of women in Irish Christianity but that's actually not my period or even my geographic location that I'm most interested in.

3: That's actually the part I was comparing it to. Uh. Because I really liked that part. I think The Wanderer is just awesomeshit mostly because I can read it without taking out an investment of several days (unlike, see, Beowulf.)
