myth, matches & me: a hello post

[booksbardsandbaselines]

Name: Danielle

Age: 30s

I mostly post about: life, books I'm reading (or re-reading!), music I'm loving, tennis matches I'm yelling at the TV about, and all the soft little joys in between.

My hobbies are: reading, writing, journalling, cooking, gardening, watching tennis, listening to music, doing crosswords, talking about Greek myths, collecting daffodils (not literally, just in spirit), and wandering around museums and libraries like a nerd in her natural habitat.

My fandoms are: Percy Jackson, Greek mythology in general, Taylor Swift, various tennis players (Aryna Sabalenka, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Jasmine Paolini, Qinwen Zheng).

I'm looking to meet people who: are curious, kind, thoughtful, and enjoy rambling about things they love. Fellow readers, writers, myth geeks, ADHD brains, and warm-hearted nerds especially welcome!

My posting schedule tends to be: softly chaotic, but aiming for 3–4 posts a week—somewhere between “routine” and “inspired flurry.”

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: bigotry of any kind, cruelty, or just generally being mean-spirited. I like my internet spaces kind and cozy.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a chatterbox when I'm excited, and I’ll probably mention Greek gods, tennis scores, and obscure historical tidbits in the same breath. I write with a lot of heart, and I love connecting with thoughtful people. 💛

Hi, you sound pretty interesting so yes please!

Hi there! I'm also in my 30s and love Greek mythology and history, journalling, and going to museums. I'm trying to read more, mostly horror stuff at the moment. I'm in the UK as well!

Hey! Greek myth, journalling, museums and UK-based?? Hello, instant friend! 💛 I’ve never really read horror - what are you reading right now?

[thunderschoen]

Thank you for the add! :D

Right now I'm reading Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach series which is a blend of sci-fi, cosmic horror, and a bit of espionage drama, I guess? It's about a mysterious agency that's monitoring and surveying a section of abandoned coastline where weird stuff happens, to put it briefly!

I'm adding you! I'm trying to read more, mostly random stuff like fantasy, horror, paranormal and urban fantasy/supernatural. I love Greek mythos but probably don't know more than I should know about it. You sound like my kind of person. Fifteen love! ... (I hope I used that right)

And I’m adding you! 😊 I’m also trying to read more—mostly a delightful jumble of fantasy, historical, and romance. You totally sound like my kind of person.
