Author bio:

Hello there. I'm Outlier. I'm 16, and I live in Dublin. I want to live in Germany or the Netherlands when I'm older, and then move to Sweden.
I adore history, especially the Ancient Greeks, Romans, Britain (especially the navy) from around 1750-1820, WWI, the Cold War, and all Irish history from 1916 onwards. I love Italian food. Horrible Histories has ruined my life in so many ways. I dream of visiting every single country in the world, or at least every country in Europe. I love Sherlock Holmes in all its various incarnations, as long as they don't give Holmes a female love interest. I have a mild obsession with LGBT-themed films that isn't really mild at all. Since I am a loser, I love reading all the ancient writers. The Roman writers around the time of Augustus were especially epic. Special shoutout to my homies Livy, Propertius and Ovid, yo.

I like the rain and the cold, and the heat makes me sleepy and my head itch. I have always loved Dr Seuss, and I always will. I make it my mission to know things that other people have never even wondered about, like the reason for the decline of cauliflower in the UK. Tolkien's world means more to me than anything else in the world. I am a strict vegetarian, but I don't get offended when other people eat meat, though for some odd reason people think that I do and are constantly apologising for it. Dick Grayson is my favourite comic character ever, but I adore all the Batfamily. I love DC but I hate it even more. DC fans will understand what I mean by that. As an institution, the Catholic church makes me unspeakably angry.
I am literally the best Tetris player you will ever meet.
Les Miserables is my life. My favourite Roman emperor is Elagabalus I don't even care what you say. I take these 'bio' boxes very seriously, and thus think it appropriate to write my life story. I know the first Toy Story film off by heart. Fanfiction is my biggest distraction. I am against gender boundaries. I can recognise all 6 members of Monty Python from quite a long way away. I love tattoos. I am completely in love with Alexander the Great. I am almost impossible to personally offend, but am annoyed by everything from pink Lego to the Disney adaptation of Hercules. My hobby is dating pigeons.
I am very friendly on the internet, but I tend to scare people in real life when I try to be nice. I love talking to people, so feel free to add me or send me a message. Or alternatively, don't be creeped out when I send you a stalker-y message. I'm not a serial killer, I promise.
