I am..

[bloodydemonic]

Joey. 28, bisexual, demisexual, theoretically poly, cis-female, liberal, white and English. She/her. I live with my girlfriend Tally and our cat Clive. I really love baking, cooking, dancing, knitting, cats, historical fiction and would love to be able to time travel. I'm super into gratitude, mindfulness, wellbeing and work for my local NHS Mental Health & Wellbeing Team which helps me fight my own battles with anxiety, panic attacks and depression.

I'm a voracious reader and a history nerd - especially Tudor & Elizabethan England, both fiction and non-fiction. Some of my favourite writers include Alison Weir, Philippa Gregory & Hilary Mantel. I have some interest in the industrial revolution, the victorian era and would love to know more about the ancient world. I'm also curious about tarot, horoscopes and divination. I grew up as a member of a congregational church and have a complication relationship with God.

I have a completely unexplainable passion for disaster and apocalypse movies, the current world situation is giving me an interest in epidemiology and I've always been fascinated with aliens and UFOs. I'd probably be quite the sci-fi geek if I let myself - although I would run away with the Doctor in the TARDIS in a heartbeat!

My favourite colours are green & silver, my favourite flower is a sunflower, my favourite is mint and my favourite season is autumn. I love fresh flowers, warm bread and scented candles. Mani/pedi's make me happy. I need sunshine like I need oxygen.

I’ve got some tarot cards but I’ve yet to use them yet

Yay for being a sci-fi geek! Doctor Who is awesome🖤 (hope you don’t mind me adding you for all that)

We had a baptism of fire moving in together. We got our flat in January, adopted Clive in February and then... well March happened and we've been in lockdown together ever since - was was furloughed and I've been working from home. Talk about a make or break!

And I don't mind you adding me at all, welcome aboard!

Oh wow yeah, what timing! Has it been working out ok?

Aww yay!

Mostly, it has. We've had some arguments but I imagine most couples have. It's just been a case of her finding ways to occupy her time, me managing to separate working from home with being at home and us getting used to being together 24/7 (but also finding time/space) to do our own thing

I'm actually now thinking I'm going to miss her if we return to normal but at the same time, it'll be nice to have my own space and time again!

I absolutely adore royal history of all sorts but know most about England's history because it's so easy to find documentaries about it. Pretty much if it has to do with historical royalty of any kind, I'll eat it up XD. I don't know, there's just something about that atmosphere that I find especially fascinating seeing as there isn't many countries with royalty today, not to mention how different it is today than throughout history. It's just very interesting. I like exploring it through fiction as well!

I also have an interest in tarot. I find comfort in predicting my future—it gives me confidence to push forward when I'm struggling. It doesn't even matter to me if it's real or not (though I'll admit I tip toward believing), it's the idea behind it that I search for. It's funny, I also believe in horoscopes because I think people definitely become what their horoscope says they are, but I don't buy the 'this is your horoscope for today' stuff you'll find on the internet or a newspaper—it tends to be wildly off any time I've ever checked. Seems to be a ripoff, unfortunately. It's just not possible to guess someone's day when you're guessing for so many people at once. Tarot are more reliable because of it being a prediction that pretains to you and you alone. That's why I trust it more.
