This or That?

{{ I wanted to do this for Dove, too! Full list taken from this post: https://beyondthetemples-ooc.tumblr.com/post/188181238187/50-cute-this-or-that-questions

cacti or succulents Succulents, though she'd much prefer keeping an herb garden (in memory of her mother’s garden), even if it's just on the kitchen counter.

butterflies or honeybees Butterflies. (Especially in RP!continuity, since she now has a very important moment to associate them with a friend.)

typewritten or handwritten letters Handwritten, especially if she'd be the one who has to type otherwise. (She is very much a hunt-and-peck typist.)

polaroids or film Polaroids, unless she met A Certain Distant-"Family" Teammate who, in Certain Continuities, was involved in photography, and she could learn about the process. It would fascinate her.

road tripping in a VW bus down the coast or camping in the woods on summer nights Camping for sure, she doesn't do great in vehicles.

cozy beanbags or breezy hammocks Ooh, probably cozy beanbags? She'd take awhile to perfect the art of hammock balance, and then probably be too nervous about potentially falling out again (and embarrassed by how many times she already did) to Truly Relax.

oversized jumpers or fluffy bathrobes Fluffy bathrobes for sure, she's always a sucker for soft cozy things.

banana bread or pumpkin spiced loaf Banana bread, though she'd like pumpkin spiced too.

the smell of old books or the smell of petrichor Old books. She likes the rain, but old books just smell like home.

chapstick or matte lipstick Neither, she's not big on makeup and very much Not Used to wearing either. (Though she's more likely to need chapstick if she went somewhere with an actual winter; since she doesn't do very well in the cold, her lips probably would get a little bit chapped.)

macarons or eclairs Ooh, she'd really enjoy them both. If the macaroons are plain, she'd prefer the éclair. But if the macaroons are lighter flavors, like vanilla or fruity flavors especially? Definitely the macaroons.

a candlelit bath or a naturally lit reading room Naturally lit reading room.

a matinee at a musical or a evening at the art gallery Evening at the art gallery, less people and a quieter atmosphere.

creamy hot cocoa with marshmallows or dippable hot chocolate with churros Probably hot cocoa? She'd prefer the pseudo-savory to a Sweet Thing Dipped In More Sweetness.

poetry or prose She reads more prose, though she enjoys poetry too, and does dabble in it a bit herself...

(Like here [x], for instance.)

vinyl or cassettes I actually don't think she's been exposed to either. But she'd probably prefer cassettes, because you have more control over how loud it is on a radio than on a gramophone.

antique shops or second hand stores Antique shops, there are a lot more things to pique her curiosity!

a heavy, rich chocolate cake with ganache and caramel or a light, summer sponge cake with cream and fruit Definitely the summer cake-- with her favorite. You know: Fruit! (And a super-sweet heavy cake wouldn't go over very well.)

purikuras or photo booths Neither, really, unless she's with a friend. Then they'd probably have more fun at the purikura?

cozy scarfs or warm beanies Cozy scarfs! She prefers neck warmth to head warmth. (Not that, as far as I'm aware, she has ever had to try either one...)

rose gold or copper Rose gold, though copper is a comfortingly familiar color to her.

watching the sky at sunset from the beach or watching the city below from an airplane at night Watching the sky at sunset from the beach, for sure! (Feels like home, and hope, and lots of other good things.) But she does not enjoy being on an airplane at all. Rough first experience (in an as-of-yet unpublished and only barely-outlined story, but let's just say it gets "bad" in three ways, and she'd rather never travel by one again).

mason jars or coffee mugs Coffee mugs, though she doesn't like coffee at all.

puffy clouds and blue skies or thunder and lighting on rainy days Blue skies, Definitely blue skies. (She'd prefer a light rain, but thunder? Gods NO.)

a cup of hot tea or a bowl of warm soup Hot tea, though both are nice~

picnic on a grassy hill or tea in a flower garden Tea in a flower garden, it would remind her of her mother, her childhood, her home...

silk or lace Silk, probably? (She's most comfortable in silk because her cloak is made out of a kind of "silk", and thus it's more familiar and comfortable.)

sketching in a museum or journaling in a café She'd probably be journaling in a museum. It's hard, very hard to find Dove in any public place long enough to write a journal entry. She'd linger a bit longer in a museum with a friend, but she's not much of an artist unless something really inspires her.

converse high tops or beaded summer sandals I don't think she'd invest in either, since they're usually more of the higher-priced Fashion Clothes, which she's really not that into? But she's more likely to wear the beaded sandals.

sweet crêpes or fluffy pancakes Either one, really! Unless they're fruit-filled crepes, then definitely the crepes.

galaxies or nebulae Galaxies, probably? Seeing all the stars would remind her of Azarath's skies.

cuff-chain earrings or full finger rings (I don't see her wearing either, actually? But for a costume or something, I can see her wearing the finger cuffs over the ear cuffs. Since, you know, her ears aren't pierced...)

knee socks or leggings Probably knee socks, if she's ever cold enough to wear socks??

in bed or out in the rain In bed listening to the rain, ideally.

the muted colors of winter or the vibrant colors of summer Vibrant colors of summer! (As long as it's not hot enough for her to get heat stroke again.)

autumn leaves or spring flowers Spring flowers. (She prefers the delicate brightness to swaths of red/orange/fiery colors. Though, I don't think she has ever seen Real Autumn Leaves...)

summer fruits: peaches, berries, cherries, and apricots or tropical fruits: pineapples, mangos, papaya, and grapefruit. Honestly? All fruit, all the time, she really just loves it all!

malt shakes or ice cream floats Probably the ice cream float, because that's only One Scoop, but she couldn't even drink half a malt without her intense lactose intolerance acting up.

smooth jazz or lo-fi Probably lo-fi?

waves lapping at the shore or wind rolling over wheat fields Waves lapping at the shore. It's a sound of Home to her now.

sunflowers or lavender She's deathly allergic to lavender (we're talking, one whiff and she can go into anaphylactic shock), so: Sunflowers! Definitely!

enamel pins or embroidered patches She doesn't wear either, but she'd probably like embroidered patches better? Especially if she learned to sew them herself.

fresh cheeses and cured meats or fresh bread and homemade jams Bread and jam, for dietary and preference reasons alike!

fireworks or sparklers Sparklers, definitely sparklers. (Fireworks are so loud, they terrified her the first time. And she has trouble "steeling herself" for them, because you can hardly prepare when the sound comes so much later than the sight...)

bath bombs or scented candles Probably scented candles? I don't think she ever gets into the bath bomb "fandom".

library borrower cards or vintage postcards Library card, for sure.

singing and playing the ukulele while walking or singing in the car with the windows down She doesn't enjoy car rides very much at all, so while the only instrument she knows how to play is something kinda lyre-like, she'd prefer singing and playing while walking.

filling your passport with stamps from each place you travel to or collecting souvenirs from every place you’ve traveled to Souvenirs, I don't even know that Dove has a proper passport? (No social security number, and all that.)
