The Beginning of our Odyssey

Oh. My. Goodness.

It's me!

HELLO WORLD! It feels so good to be here, in this space, writing to you! Welcome to Meig's Odyssey! My name is Meigs (they/them), I am a 23 year old, queer non-binary human currently based in Orlando, and I am going to be your leader on this journey.


I am sure you are asking yourself "What is this 'Odyssey' and why should I care?" I am happy you asked!


My entire life has been surrounded by all things fandom. From a very young age, I was thrust into the worlds of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, eventually expanding to other worlds like Stargate: Atlantis and Firefly. Reading was also a major part of my life, diving into Camp Halfblood in Percy Jackson and the Olympians or jumping into the arena in The Hunger Games. As soon as I turned 13, more of my time was spent online. I spent hours pouring over Tumblr and Deviantart to find pieces and stories about my favorite heroes, and saving countless of images to Pinterest boards that will never see the light of day. (My Doctor Who board alone has over 1,000 pins...)


One thing that has remained constant is my love for creating! Being able to connect with and tell stories has been a part of my life since I started performing when I was nine years old. This is where Odyssey begins, with a love for creating.


The definition of "odyssey" according to Oxford Languages is "a long and eventful or adventurous journey or experience." That is exactly what I am striving to do with this space. I want to be able to share my journeys, whether that's video production, writing, photography and more. I also want to be able to share other peoples journeys! The galaxy is vast and everyone has different paths and ley lines in which they operate, and I think that it is so beautiful that we can share pieces of ourselves in spaces like this!

I intend to turn this into a place of creativity and wonder. I want to showcase other people and their odysseys, emphasizing that we all are beautifully created and how similar we all are, despite our differences. My hope is to continue photographing people, interviewing people, and sharing this with you all! I plan to post reviews, cosplay galleries and much, much more as a part of this odyssey.


The best part? You get to come with me! No odyssey can be complete without an adventuring party of some sort. Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring, The Doctor and his companions, even a Dungeons and Dragons party! You all get to board my ship, and explore the galaxy with me.




I hope you are ready for one heck of a ride, because this is truly going to be the adventure of a lifetime. Sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy!
