There are several questions we are all used to in life. What superpower would you want? What do you want to be when you grow up? What's your biggest regret? I haven’t lived too long, so I haven’t had many chances to do something so horrible nothing can be compared to how much I regret it. Until recently.
I'm an avid book-reader, enthusiast, collector, and lover. I've read many books, though not nearly enough, and have yet to read a book I did not enjoy. As all books are incredible in their own way, picking a favorite obviously is a challenging process, thus I have a three-way tie for favorite, and am unable to rank books any further than that. My three favorite books include: The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski, Billy Summers by Stephen King, and Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon. The novel Everything Everything was the first of these favorites to gain the unobtainable title of favorite. It's a beautiful and inspiring story, that I've reread one a year for five years. I'd also like to state that I have no problem with lending my books to others and giving book recommendations. I quite enjoy sharing incredible literature with others. But recently, I made the mistake of entrusting my beloved, well-cared for copy of Everything Everything with a stranger. With someone with not a care in the world for books and literature. Someone who I shall never trust again, and will hold a grudge against forever. She, whom I will not name, dog-eared, dozens of the delicate, worshiped pages in my copy of Everything Everything. I will regret to my grave, ever even giving thought to letting her lay eyes on my adored novel.
Although it does not contain the many memories attached to my original copy, my generous elder sister bought me a new, hardcover copy, which shall never be soiled by hands other than my own.

Is Smoking Sinful?
Smoking is one of those topics that the Bible doesn’t give a clear answer about. So how then can we determine an answer? Here are a few things to consider. 1. Smoking has pagan roots. It is interesting to note that the origin of smoking tobacco came from indigenous, heathen religions. The Bible tells us that if the root is holy so are the branches (Romans 16:11). And vice versa! If the…

op i would like you to know that your fixed version of fight club the novel got me through my ib extended essay. i did not have my own copy with me at the time of writing and only after a brief panic did i remember your holy contribution. often i would trail off into reading it out loud in the middle of trying to find a passage. sadly the word count made me cap it at 4000 words. thank you and godspeed soldier.
LMAO BEEN THERE BESTIE been over half a decade but I did a historical one on the Stonewall Riots. bro you would not BELIEVE how absolutely insane I got when, since the historical EE requires you to extensively consult primary sources (for those not in the know, this means sources created during and right after the event, like newspapers, speeches, etc. I'd also found a monograph from just a year or two afterwards iirc), I went from expecting to confirm the general mythos about Stonewall to being like Oh God Oh God Its All A Lie!!!!!!!!!1!1! Its All A LIE!!!!!!!!! <- baby's first realization that political groups, even ones you belong to, will use historical revisonism extensively and with extremely questionable morals, and crack down on anyone who acknowledges it
seriously so funny to me that a sort of joke ee thesis ended up being a Defining Life Experience
I can absolutely imagine how much it'd help to have your book be ctrl-f-able, glad I could help out there. Godspeed soldier, may you gain all the college credits
#asks#ftr most stuff commonly discussed around stonewall originated from a 2016 tumblr post#i wish! i was joking!#like literally guys i promise you Im Not Lying. I Promise You#frankly the amount of modern liberal politics that originated from 2013-2016 tumblr. that i watched go from some nonsense to stuff debated#on the national stage or treated as well researched fact and not something tumblr user xxxxxxx came up with in 2015#... it's a bit dark really actually#anyway kudos to u anon for reminding me of this. i wonder if i still have my own ee tucked away somewhere#i was still sooooo early in my 'question authority people will lie to you they do not always have good motives even if they say they do'#development that i spent the entire essay trying to be very fairhanded to the modern schema#nowadays i would be a lot meaner v.v

top 3 of your biggest kins and why!!
Yayayay someone sent me an ask !!!
Sorry for my lack of response! Will get to it now!
Also I assume you mean fictionkin - sorry if you didn't!
Luz Noceda
Dvdhnfjdjd WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN? I've been so fucking obsessed w her and could relate to her WAYY too much since I started watching. Just... Ugh. So much of it. Being "the weird kid", inconsistent and lackluster grades / performance, being overly obsessed with a specific franchise (though mine come and go and return every few weeks lol), having a mom who really cares about you and wants the best for you and has had similar experiences growing up and being isolated or cast out but accidentally made you feel like you had to conform because that's what she kinda had to do??? idk but still encourages her child's true self and feels super guilty Abt it all yada yada. having little to no friends (I have one! (Speaking of offline) before visiting the demon realm. Fanfic writer (I never have the patience or motivation to finish anything I start though), being impulsive, not knowing whay you wanna be, being into witchcraft, feeling like you're somewhere where you don't belong (the human realm) and would gladly escape into a whole different realm, Bisexual (I'm questioning this though), gender nonconforming, being told that you just have to "apply yourself", insecure, similar clothing style, considers herself a "dummy", poor attention span for things she's uninterested, indecisive, etc etc, THIS SCENE THIS SCENE THIS SCENE
(ps the way camilla hovered her hand above the screen / luz when she saw how sad she was 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺)
It's just. Everything.. I remember the first time I watched it I was like "Luz is so me in almost every single way. Except she makes a ton of eye contact, I don't rly do that" lmao... I would rewatch s1 and S2 on loop every day for the whole summer, I am NOT exaggerating. I rly love TOH I'm so.glad I got the opportunity to watch it and it means sm to me and I keep rewatching the scene from thanks to them and auhggjt.
"all I ever wanted... Was to be understood!" HEJDJFJDIDJRUJDJEKF DJJFFJNFB FIKF
AARON MITCHELL
oh my GOD when I saw this movie for a few days I'd cry sm just bc of how much I related.to him. He chews his shirt. I used to do the same when I was twelve and a bunch of my shirts had holes and still have holes but I stopped and now I just grid my teeth instead lmfao and they hurt ouch. a piece of gum is a lifesaver for.me. He's OBSESSED with dinosaurs - for me it's not dinosaurs specifically but like I've said earlier I tend to get OBSESSED with things way too much to the point everyone knows me for that thing. He's implied to have ZERO FRIENDS before meeting Abby who shares his obsession w dinosaurs (just like me and my one n only friend fr) (why do I keep getting attached to characters who previously had zero friends wtf.) LOVES to talk Abt his interest. Obsessive. Shy. Awful social skills. Takes things too literally sometimes. Calls his dad father sometimes cuz why not ("Thank you, father." after he gave him his phone back "just as promised" (except he broke it in pieces but he.kept his promise so aaron doesn't care lmao.) carries a notebook and pencil w him randomly?. his older sibling and parent argue abt the siblings college choices and you're just forced to watch and the tension is rising and you're feeling anxious and Uhm yeah. SOMETIMES KINDA ROBOTIC IN HIS SPEECH? I've noticed? Blunt. Has a TON of things related to his obsession. (For me I have primarily a tonshit of sonic themed things.) dislikes being alone. Dislikes admitting his feelings. Nerd. Uses obsession as a way to understand, contextualize and communicate with the world and his surroundings. Also chews his fingers. Always wearing sweatpants. Fidgety. Ect etc. Just lile arhghfhfng. HIM.
Things I don't relate to - wearing shoes in bed. What the actual fuck Aaron. Also he wears socks. I don't do that unless I'm nailed down to the floor until I succumb to their nonsensical rules. Ok they KINDA make sense but I don't like them. I don't care that my shoes or feet will smell afterwards get those fucking socks away from me.
. anyway sorry. There's probably more but yeah I forgot. I actually got the urge to cry when just thinking about him a couple of times. Like wowza dawg he's just like me fr and I mean it. I can really really relate to him and I act a lot like him and I acted even more like him when I was about his age and was obsessed with exclusively sonic for like a year straight. lol
Enderman
Ok this one's a short one but yeah I can relate to them. They're just minding their own business, in their own piece, picking random things off the ground (or ground itself..), DESPISE eye contact and will get really violent if you make eye contact with them (I am not exaggerating I actually get really angry and uncomfortable with uninitiated eye contact from ppl I'm not comfy with like don't look at me stop looking at me stop looking at me.) makes random sounds sometimes, such as screeches and hisses. Unlike them I DO like water and I LOVE rain HOWEVER I DO NOT LIKE touching smaller amounts of water on surfaces where I don't expect water to be and get really grossed out and uncomfortable from it. Unless they're with their own kin they're just kinda going around, alone, minding their peace unless provoked. Like most mobs - both hostile and peaceful - acknowledge your existence, hostile ones attack you, peaceful ones like horses and sheep and pigs and wolves and cats and whatnot may look at you if you look at it and pay attention to you and some can be befriended, enderman is neither like them, they're minding their own business, they don't initiate contact like, ever, and only engage w the player when having to defend themselves... when feeling threatened EVEN if the player didn't mean to scare them, like idk I'm.noy.really used to strangers having good intentions with me so I get defensive easily .... that is irl, on the internet I definitely don't get ever scared from social interactions ahaha 😎 yeah.
So yeah the only thing I KINDA can't relate to is not liking water - I only dislike water in a very specific context so yeah. And I do make eye contact w family members usually like I've mentioned earlier - I don't know, do endermen make eye contact with each other? I'm not sure, I don't remember. There might be more to them that I relate to but I can't recall anything at the moment
Everything I've mentioned about these characters in This post - I can relate to. These are just my feelings put imperfectly into words.... but I feel a lot about them and have felt a lot about them for quite some time.
Ducbfjrj there's also a list of characters I relate to (link in intro post) but these were the ones I related to the most
#asks#Minecraft#tmvtm#toh#luz noceda#aaron mitchell#enderman#anyway i just remembered all three of them are commonly hced as autistic.#coincidence? pretty sure yeah#idk i dont remember the diagnostic criteria rn i can relate to a lot of things but that doesnt necessarily mean I'm autistic#I've questioned depression before. o dont think thats the case eitjrr.#idk. i aint no professional#but yea i doubt i am is all im saying#ok bye

Haii! This isn't really a request but i was wondering how you made the moodboards so lined up? I was also wondering if you had any tips? I really want to start making some ^^ /gen /nm /genq
This is a really good question!! And because I wanted to answer it thoroughly, this answer got really really long lol so the it's under the cut!
The short answer is that I crop all of my pictures manually! I usually do that in the gallery on my phone, but it can also be done here on Tumblr. The aspect ratio you're looking for is 1:1, which makes a perfect square!! If you scroll through the pictures on (most of) my moodboards, you'll see that they line up uniformly as squares, which lets me make perfect 3:3 grids! Also, I don't usually use gifs, but those need to be cropped by a third-party app or website most of the time if you plan on using those.
As for general tips, I gave some advice here! I don't have much advice on how to make moodboards because I think everyone has a unique style that they bring to their content. I'll tell you a few things that I do for my stuff, though!
I usually stick to about three main colors per moodboard, unless it's supposed to be colorful specifically!
I have a few go-to items that I put in my moodboards: blankets, stuffies, pacifiers, sweaters, books, and sometimes also lights!!
I add as many tags as I can think of to my stuff! That's how people discover new content!!
The last thing I can think of is I always try to make the theme of moodboard clear. Like, I ask myself 'if there was no title or request attached to it, would people still be able to guess what it's supposed to be?' This is easiest with characters because you can just put their face in there! Idk thinking about that helps me sometimes with sticking to a theme!!
That's all I got. I hope this helped at all!! If you have anymore questions feel free to ask! If that's all, I hope you have fun making stuff!
#this got so long#i'm sorry about that#i hope it at least helps you a little!!#I'm excited to see what you create!#Pip's barks#i think I'm going to make a commonly asked questions post#maybe that will help some people out#anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk#this was a fun question to answer!!#ps i hope this is what you meant by lined up#if not let me know and I'll try to help!#this wasn't edited there's probably grammatical errors

i love TAing. some parts of it are stressful but running office hours and just getting to talk through a concept with the students until we've identified the source of their confusion and successfully resolved it is so satisfying and fun.
#and i know a bunch of fun facts to throw in that they appear to find genuinely fun!#e.g. 'worms are one of the only commonly studied multicellular organisms that we can freeze'#which is always a real hit.#a couple of them asked me to explain my research to them today???#and they said they thought it sounded 'cool' and 'sci-fi'#which makes me feel :')#and they asked for grad school advice! i feel so USEFUL. they're so likeable and interested in stuff#even the ones who are clearly suffering under the weight of only being kind of interested and really wanting to pass the class#1. are showing up and asking questions! which i appreciate!#2. are obviously trying to think through the concepts and light up when something becomes less confusing#and i am very grateful to them for putting in the effort. and i hope i repaid it with useful information about how to pass the exam.#box opener

I mean this in the best way and I do not shame anyone who has not experienced this yet but once you separate yourself from the mcr fandom and kinda live outside of it online and in real life for a few years you realize so much of mcr related discourse is just… not that big of a deal. It only feels important right now because so much of your time and life is dedicated to this topic
#my life from 2018-2022 was like a sabbatical that let me find inner peace#and yeah glass houses etc i need to learn to care less#but when asked straight forward questions abt stuff commonly misunderstood i can't help myself

Define promise ring, for the poll? I have an idea but idk
A ring given by one partner to another as a “promise” of dedication to the relationship and their future together.
#very commonly used by teenagers (hence the question) when engagement is like… not a common step#but also seen in adult relationship#usually a predecessor to an engagement ring in both cases#ask#anon

about
last updated: 8th of july 2023
all readings are alleged, only for entertainment purposes
hi, i’m melody and i post (kpop + celebrity) tarot and astrology content. i also talk about feminism and will occasionally talk about other interests - please keep in mind before following that this is still my personal blog 💖 my soulmate best friend is piano (@prettyrealm) who also posts similar content 💫
faq
♡ credibility of my content:
astrology: i do my best to make my astrology content easily digestible so it can be readily and straightforwardly applied to yourself, the people you know and perhaps even celebrities.
tarot: this is for you and time to determine ♡
♡ requesting readings:
you are free to request on any idol, actor, athlete, singer, youtuber etc. but sending me a request does not mean your request will be fulfilled.
you cannot request on someone that has already been read for (unless for a quick reading). if you want a reading on someone who has already been read for, you can purchase a commission.
♡ answering asks:
i do not answer asks too frequently since i try to post content when i have the time to be on this account. i do take time every so often to go through my inbox and answer genuine questions and feedback. however, there are some asks i don't answer at all.
♡ asks i do not answer:
♡ if your question is stated in this post, my commissions page or my pinned then it will not be answered.
♡ if your question is about piano's readings and not mine then it will not be answered.
♡ if your question shows you have read my readings incorrectly or with bias (regardless of if it's positive or negative) then it will not be answered. e.g. if you choose to selectively pick points from readings and jump through hoops to come to a conclusion or say things i literally didn't say, i will not answer your ask even if you think you're "agreeing" with the reading. my readings are not sugarcoated or packed with filler words to hit a word count, there is no reason for you to have to read between the lines.
#about#faq#melody tarot#kpop#kpop tarot#celebrity tarot#tarot#astrology#personal#astro#astroblr#tarotblr#melody astrology#prettyrealm#for pinned#i will continue to add commonly asked questions to this too
