Hey all! I like probably most of the people introducing theirselves today am detaching myself from bsky, and I don't think I ever actually even made an intro post there, (whoops!) so here is one!
I'm an asexual trans woman in my thirties, my hobbies are mostly a rotating hyper fixation wheel of TTRPGs, gunpla, miniature wargaming, 3D modeling, and occasionally a non-tabletop RPG. Also my husband runs a rabbit rescue so I do a lot of stuff with bunnies too! We live on a farm with many animals we rescued from being food and a few more we adopted who were always companions.
Currently I'm trying to do research to write a book about Posadas aliens coming to Earth in the 18th century and bringing mechs because "what if Jane Austen had a Gundam?" is a very fun question to me, (and also I forgot Gundam Wing existed for like two weeks when I first started thinking about it,) but it's kind of turned into "what if Gundams fought in the Napoleonic wars?" so now I'm also working on a wargame
Welcome! Good luck with your book writing and hope you find plenty of fun rabbit holes to dive down while researching for it!
I did listen to a pretty cool podcast about free black men in the employ of the British Royal Navy in the 18th century last night
I'd be interested to see how wildly messy a mecha French Revolution could get, or even what shenanigans Qing China at it's peak under Emperor Gaozong could get up to if they had mechs. Certainly a most fun thought experiment no matter the era.
