Remember that time Stephen Colbert threw a pancake at me? (Intro post time!)

Hello, I’m Elizabeth. You can call me that, or epaulettes, or Lili, or Eli. For some reason, I am a nickname collector. If you want to tag me, you can go right ahead and use the epaulettes tag. It’s just me and a bunch of fancy shoulder coverings in there. Just the way I like it!

I graduated from Barnard College last May with a lot of praise and a degree in English which has so far only made me unemployable and liable to vomit meta all over this here tumblr.

I started this blog when I was studying abroad in Scotland in 2010. If you ever try to make it back to my ~origins, I warn you in advance, it’s going to devolve into mediocre tourism photography. Fair warning and all that. If you ask me about studying abroad in the UK, I will legitimately write you an essay. I am perpetually three seconds away from getting on a plane back to Edinburgh and never coming back.

I was raised in the Harry Potter fandom (Harry/Draco for life!!1!), but since Deathly Hallows was published, I’ve flitted around. Things I follow closely are listed in the sidebar, and you can see what fandoms I read fic for on my Pinboard. Speaking of my Pinboard, I’ve been cultivating the links on it since 2008, and write pretty thorough reviews, so if you like/want recommendations, check it out!

On this tumblr, you’re liable to see: music posts nobody seems to care about, Glee-related metavomit, sing-along tags, nostalgia about things from my childhood, fashiongasming over waistcoats and cravats, occasional nerdy mentions of the 19C since I studied that in school, Darren Criss’ face over and over and over again, feminist ranting, bitter stanning (particularly of Torchwood and Merlin), recommendations of other people’s cool things, and oh-so-occasionally, original content like graphics and fanmixes.

No matter what insecurities I have, or how lonely or lost I feel, my #1 thought about myself is that I deserve happiness, and that’s my #1 thought about everyone I’ve ever given two shits about in my life, which probably includes you. Yes, you.

So come talk to me! Though I warn you in advance I am liable to vomit words and love all over you if you give me the least indication it would be welcome.
