In your opinion what would your friends arts taste like?

// Ahhhh I won't exactly describe everyone's art here so I'll only describe based on what I recently ste :3

Klai's art tastes like Oreo... why? How to explain this,,, You know the many things you can do with oreo like split in half, dip it in milk, add cream on it, and whatever crazy stuff people do on it before eating it--- That's what Klai's art feels like. You savor it in different emotions... it can be unhinged, wild, wholesome, makes you crying... or multiple at the same time. 😭

Beth's art tastes like egg tarts. Sweet on the center for its content while bordered by slightly crunchy edges... yum yum yum.

Fifi's art tastes like... these Danish butter style cookies. Her drawings are like treats of surprises, you wouldn't know what kind of shape of cookie you'll get next once devouring the first level of the cookies.;;; and you'll never get tired of it bc I luv butter cookies so much nom nom nom nom---

Yami's art tastes like fruit gummies,, usually cherry flavored gummies. It looks bouncy and feels squishy, and tastes sweet. Sometimes, even soursweet when art makes you cry in tears;;;/lh

Joe's art tastes like bubble gums-- so many flavors of bubble gums. But in general, you would get this strong black mint flavored type of gum if I describe the communion and tricksterherald content she gives---/lh like is so powerful and refreshing I feel edgy when brainrotting about the communion rahhh 🔥🔥🔥

Mandi's art tastes like... André's chocolates??? Tbf, It's an extra dark chocolate bar, one of my favorite treats since childhood ngl. The bitterness and strong flavor are so yummy it makes me cry or go silly sometimes hehehehehehe;;;. The dark themes, angst, ocs just havibg trauma stuff going on--- chef's kiss✨️ The art she gives reminds me of that treat/lh

Kory's art tastes like Pirulin. Like her art treats are so silly good, it's a bit rare for me to see her delicious drawings,,,/lh It feels like how I rarely get to eat Pirulin sticks when I was younger;;;😭🥺

Nezumi's art tastes like lollipops. They give a big variety of flavors that make your mouth have different colors-- she has almost all the themes (fluff, comedy, piece of life, angst). You suck on one, and before you know it, it's already gone. Shows how I love their art so much I would always look forward to cherish it whenever they decided to bless my eyes with another drawing hhh;;;

1-8 for Ruben & Anruh + 17-24 for André and Tammie 🥺

Ruben and Tammie and the bad bitches they pulled by being autistic <3

Ruben and Anruh

1. What are things they both find funny ?

Bad puns and cringy jokes. They both find them charming and it’s kind of a competition of who can come up with the worst one for any given situation <3

2. If they could each describe each other in one sentence, what would it be ?

“If spring was a person, it’d be Ruben.”

“The most breathtaking being in the whole universe.”

3. If they complimented each other, what would they say ?

ohohohoho, they compliment each other all the time, but never realize they’re doing it, nor that they have been complimented. It’s a very casual thing they’ve been doing for the majority of their relationship, even before it became romantic, and they never really intend for it, it just happens lol. I like to think the main compliments are on the size of the other, because they come the most naturally. 

So Ruben will drop a comment on how Anruh could wrap her hands around his waist and her fingers would touch, and Anruh is like yeah, I could probably do that. Flash forward a couple hours and they’re both like, was that flirting ???

4. What would be their ship name ?

I call them Ruruh <3

I’d also like to give them a ship name Danny Phantom style, but imma need some extra time to figure that one out

5. What activities do they enjoy together ?

Gardening, hiking, foraging, reading, cooking. Generally pretty mundane things and outdoor activities, doesn’t really matter what it is since they enjoy simply being in each other's company.

6. What is/are their love language(s) ?

Quality time is for both of them, do not separate them, but Ruben is very keen on gift-giving. Which is mainly little things he finds while out in the woods, he gives Anruh rocks and she keeps every single one. For Anruh it’s physical touch, especially after she gets more confident that she’s not going to hurt anyone. At that point she practically can’t keep her hands away from Ruben, and he doesn’t mind because it’s Anruh. Nape kisses are their favorite <3

7. Write a ~300 word love scene for them. 

“Anruh!”

The urroa looked up, finding Ruben running towards her. She stood up from where she’d been kneeling by the river bend.

“Did you find something?” she asked as Ruben stopped before her. He held out his hand to reveal a small stone. It was glossy and white, with small specks of something metallic. Anruh would’ve guessed it was another case of glimmerite, had it not been for the way Ruben was bouncing on his feet, smiling widely. And that she knew what glimmerite looked like by now. 

“It’s pyrite!” Ruben answered her response question. His voice was filled with excitement. “I’ve never found it myself. It must’ve been carried by the river from a mine somewhere.”

“How can you tell it’s pyrite?” Anruh asked and leaned down to get a better look as Ruben began to explain. “As you can see it has a metallic luster to it, but that’s obviously not exclusive to pyrite. But the color is. As you know, glimmerite is black, but pyrite is brass-yellow like this. We can also try a streak test when we get back home!” and on he continued. Going in depth about the formation and structure and chemical composition of the mineral. About every little detail that set it apart from similar minerals. 

Anruh listened carefully, nodding along to his words. Geology wasn’t her strong suit, and she wasn’t always fully certain if she understood what Ruben was talking about. But she always listened, did her best to remember everything he told her. 

Which wasn’t always easy, with the way would shine in those moments. A fire burning bright and beautiful. Warm and welcoming. It didn’t take long before Ruben’s words bled into one another and became illegible to the urroa. She regarded him with fondness. Hypnotized by the amount joy a single being could have for their mundane world.

Without really thinking, Anruh leaned forward and pressed her lips to Ruben’s temple. Which unfortunately cut him off. Ruben blinked, face turning pink. He then turned to Anruh with an awkward chuckle, “I was rambling, wasn’t I?”

“Not at all,” Anruh said, “I just lost focus for a bit. Do you mind taking it again, lilla väsen?”

8. What were their first impressions of each other ?

For Ruben it was this strange juxtaposition of brutality and gentleness. How she spared his life despite having just killed an animal, that even though she tackled and pinned him to the ground, she never hurt him. 

For Anruh it was how curiosity had overtaken fear. How he not only ventured into a place known to be dangerous for humans, but that he then returned despite her telling him not to. 

André and Tammie

17. What senses (sights, smells, feelings, etc). remind them of each other ?

Pink is André’s signature color so you know Tammie calls everything pink ‘André colored’ lmao. But there’s also the warmth of fire and lightning strikes, the smell after summer rain, and every single hacker character in the movies he watches.

For André it's hand written hangul and the strumming of a guitar, the feeling of chapped lips and the taste of energy drinks. And at times even bite marks on a pencil are enough. 

18. What would be their love motto ?

“You being you is enough for me to love you.”

These two were down bad, oblivious, and so convinced that the other had no interest in them that when they finally confessed there was this mess of “What did I do for my favorite person to like me back ???” And the answer is very simple, “you were you.”

19. If they could each write a single line in their marriage vows, what would they be ?

“I promise never to leave you behind, this map is made for both you and I.”

“Until my heart stops beating, and a little longer still, I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine.”

They’d definitely drop some video game references in their vows lmao <3

20. What is a promise they have made to each other ?

That when the whole Madereine situation is done and over, they’ll go home and play video games. It’s very simple, but it means a lot; they’re both going to survive and there’ll be a home to return to. Playing video games is also comforting and a way of winding down for them, meaning they can forget about whatever happens and just be. Exist like nothing had ever threatened their peace and quiet. 

21. How have they changed each other for the better/for the worse ?

This is a hard one ngl. I feel like a lot of the changes they’ve gone through are results of their friendgroups as a whole, but there are parts of them that are results of their feelings for each other. Tammie’s interest in poetry and songwriting came about because he realized he had feelings and needed a way to sort them out, which turned into a song that only he knows is about André. Also the thing that made him realize he had indeed fallen in love. Similarly, André got into coding because Tammie mentioned a feature he wished could be added to a game they both liked. Which resulted in the very chaotic first mod André ever made. 

22. If their lives were what was originally intended at birth, would they have still fallen in love ?

I desperately wish I could say yes, but the problem is that if André’s life was what was intended he wouldn’t have been raised on Earth. He wouldn’t even step foot on the planet until the annihilation, and he’d be way different than the André we all know and love. Him and Tammie falling in love was something that took time. It started as a little crush when they were really young, that then grew more and more over the years as they got to know each other better. That sadly wouldn’t have happened had Madereine’s plan been successful from the start.

So everybody say ‘thank you’ to Catalina <3

23. Write a ~300 scene between them with no dialogue, only body language.

They’d since long lost track of time. Too occupied riding around the skatepark, talking and laughing. It was only when the moon was high in the night sky, and the air had started to become a little colder, that they realized it was time to go home.

On the journey home through limbo, it became hard to speak, as the familiarity of the skatepark was left behind them. André wouldn’t say it was weird or uncomfortable, but it was awkward. In the way that he didn’t know what to do. Should he even do anything at all? Was it enough to simply walk in silence? The questions made him feel stiff, because he wanted to do something. But what? Casting a quick look down, André caught Tammie’s hand as it swayed between them. Maybe it would be cool if he…?

He didn’t dare to look as he reached for Tammie’s hand, and he felt how his face became hotter the moment their fingers brushed against each other. The pink light became brighter as Tammie followed his movements. Clumsy and uncoordinated at first, but soon they walked hand in hand. Fingers entwined, hugging away the anxious tremble. 

André let out a shuddered sigh, one he knew could be heard loud and clear over the silence. He was surprised to find it didn’t bother him as much as it used to. Still, he glanced over at the other. Tammie’s bottom lip had been captured by his teeth, and the corners of his mouth had curled into a wide grin. Eyes glimmering in that mesmerizing way only that only Tammie Hyon could, with scarlet dusting his cheeks. 

André turned his gaze back ahead, and smiled widely. It’d all be okay in the end, after all.

24. What is something they have each had to forgive the other for ?

That they’ll both throw themselves in danger if it means keeping the other safe, no matter what. Tammie has taken bullets for André, and André has willingly engaged with Madereine to keep her away from Tammie. And every single time the other brings out the “Idiot, you could have died.” and the response is always, “But I didn’t, and neither did you.”

It’s that flavor of protectiveness that the well-being of the other is far more important than their own. So they’ve come to learn that not only do they have to dial it down a bit for the sake of each other, but also accept that they’ll do anything for each other, even if it means death.

Crypt Time

So like, during my Panthéon visit I went to see other cool people in the crypt as well and I’m just going to post about them after posting one about Lannes. I must say that Lannes is ✨privileged✨ considering that he has his own room (crypt) comparing to everyone else, and it is not likely that he would be shared with someone else. (To be fair, I still feel bad about him being stuck in a dark space, he would have loved Montparnasse Cemetery more, where his heart is buried in)

Without further ado, let me introduce the bois and girlbosses✨

After walking pass Rousseau and Voltaire, our girlboss Joséphine Baker, great artist, activist and WWII French Resistance fighter, is the first one that I paid my respects at. It is only the soil that is inside the sarcophagus, just like the one that contains Geneviève de Gaulle (I did not take a pic of this :p).

Next we have the Curies, a big name in radioactive substances; they’re buried together peacefully

And then we have F L O O F

This is the crypt that inters the remains of Jean Moulin and André Malraux, both fighters of the Resistance (with 2 more cool French guys at the other side of this crypt, whom I have forgotten the names). It was closed but you can still take pictures from outside. You know this is Malraux when there’s a cat beside his grave, because he is the crazy cat man. Somehow I wondered if Albert Camus were reinterred in the Panthéon (symbolically like Joséphine Baker), would he be put into this crypt as well… and I bet, if you think their spirits will stay there, this crypt is going to be very fun.

Anyways, let’s continue with Carnot, his grave has quite a lot of stuff on it.

And here is the crypt that inters the remains of 3 cool writers: Victor Hugo, Émile Zola and Alexandre Dumas (Sr.)

Hugo and Zola are facing each other, while Dumas is at the end. It looks like Dumas has been having fun babysitting the other 2.

Then here is the grave of Félix Éboué, a general (and later colonial governor) who fought for the free French forces in the colonies during WWII. He was an interesting figure ngl, thank you Black History Month for introducing me to him :3 (somehow it is always interesting to see people from the colonies raised to the top during colonial times tbh)

And that’s it! I went to the souvenir shop at the end to get some postcards then continue to hitchhike to Barcelona 😔

Look at our girlboss🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Also like there’s an entire section of Le Petit Prince stuff since there is a monument of Saint-Exupery in the place. For those who are interested in French colonial history, there is a monument on Toussaint L’Ouverture at the entrance of the crypt that interred the remains of Éboué.

By the way, starting from the last post, I am adding alternative texts into photos, hope you guys are fine with it!
