Name: ace (short for alex, but please just call me ace!)
Age: 48
I mostly post about: tennis, fannish rambles, book reviews, occasional football nostalgia, and random life musings
My hobbies are: reading (historical fiction, romance + the occasional sports biography), writing emotionally messy fanfic, cozy farming sims (stardew valley hours are ridiculous), traveling when i can, and yelling fondly at tennis players and footballers
My fandoms are: tennis (lifelong), historical fiction nerdery, bridgerton, and a splash of nostalgic 90s/00s pop (yes i still love take that and one direction, no regrets)
I'm looking to meet people who: are fannish, bookish, or just like chatting about their passions. bonus points if you also get tennis brainrot or historical-fiction cravings.
My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic — sometimes i post a lot, sometimes i vanish into the void with a book or a video game.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: no bigotry, no cruelty. fannish disagreements are fine, but being mean about real people (especially athletes/actors etc.) is not my jam.
Before adding me, you should know: i ramble a lot in lowercase, i treat my journal more like a diary/archive than a performance space, and i’m always happy to chat if you are!

If you enjoy Bridgerton, you may enjoy real Regency silver fork. I recommend Theodore Hook and Edward Bulwer Lytton (earlier works) as a start. The female authors in the genre were mostly Victorian and tended to moralise things. You might also enjoy memoirs, such as those by Harriette Wilson, Captain Gronow, and even the biography of Beau Brummell by Captain Jesse, as it's full of anecdotes about all sorts of other people as well.
