Really Alyson but I prefer to go by Alys. I’m 26 years old and I live in Pittsburgh, PA with my boyfriend. I have an extremely useful degree in English literature and Medieval history from Penn State University, which I’m putting to use by working for a large bank. I’m an Aries, an atheist, a feminist, an INFJ apparently, and a huge nerd. My hobbies include reading and quietly sobbing while watching Doctor Who. I have nine tattoos and I’m learning to play the clarinet because I will never be twee enough to play the ukulele.

Things I like and frequently post include (but are not limited to) the following: comic books, 19th century poetry, the House of Habsburg, makeup and stage makeup, feminism, reproductive rights, biographies of European royalty, Harry Potter, A Song of Ice and Fire, Doctor Who, Mystery Science Theater 3000, tattoos, tarot cards, yoga, Shoujo Kakumei Utena, Sailor Moon, My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic, Pokemon, German musicals, Japanese musicals, bad movies, horror movies, gothic novels, European history, Haruki Murakami, Parks and Recreation, Community, BBC’s Sherlock, The Venture Bros, David Tennant, Oxford commas, and facial hair.

Also if you like big cats, hot ladies, and delicious food, here is an obligatory link to my platonic bro Ryfonso’s tumblr that he in no way guilted me into putting in here.
