instructions: look at the images, close your eyes, take 3 deep breathes, and pick which ever image you are drawn to! Use your intuition!
oracle deck used: the literary witches oracle
pile 1- ༺༻
cards pulled: skull, ghost, wolf
Pile 1 you will be going through changes and transitions. Or maybe you’ll have a reality check. Some of you could be grieving during this time. You maybe be thinking heavily about past memories, fears, or any unfinished business you may have. With the ghost card, this could be taken literal for some of you, maybe you might encounter a ghost?? With these changes and transitions in your life you will be stepping into your power with the wolf card. You will be taking zero bullshit from others. I feel like you may be stepping your foot into situations or asserting your dominance. I feel like these changes that are going to happen to you are going to push you to become your inner bad bitch. You may have a calling to do something, maybe a project or a new hobbie!
Pile 2-༺༻
cards pulled: love, fantasy, teacup
OMG PILE 2 YOU WILL BE GETTING A LOVE OFFER!! Wait stop bc I’m so excited for y’all. Okay so with the love card, whatever you desire is what your gonna get in January !! So whatever you’ve been manifesting, keep affirming because it’s coming into the 3D this January!! This card could be literal too, some of you could get asked out or start a new romantic relationship! With the fantasy card, you may be delusional during this time LMFAOO. You may over indulge in something or hide in your fanasty or imagination. However, pile 2 you will feel emotionally fulfilled with this teacup card! You may also be resting a lot during January as well.
Pile 3-༺༻
cards pulled: eye, bees, healing
Woah pile 3 your cards flew out! Looks like this message needs to get across to some of u. Okay so in January some of you may be seeing thru some peoples bullshit. Maybe you’ll be observing your friends and realize how fake they are. You will be seeking answers for some situation. Pile 3 you may be getting a new job or working together with a group of people! With the healing card you may be doing some deep introspection and healing yourself or maybe doing some shadow work. You might help others during this time or seek help from others.
If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading! This is my first pick a card reading! I really enjoyed making this so let me know which pac should I do next! Thank you !! 💗

15 24 28 33 50 60 67 72 93 for my darling vic 😊
15: What battle in the campaign has been most memorable to your character? It’s a pretty even tie right now (partially because of like. how recent the second was) between the fight with Jhe - you know, where they literally exploded in his hands - and the most recent fight with the rich lady ghost - because ahaha it could’ve happened again
24: Which other player character does your character find themselves having the most in common with? hey, Same Hat, Anthe Fellow tank, martyr complex, everything is Definitely Fine, like...if he’d actually get around to thinking about it there’s an acknowledgement that it’s probably not great traits to have in common but. Also it’s nice that Anthe gets it. She gets the sort of things losing a loved one will get you to do, and that’s not necessarily good but it’s...solidarity.
28: What is currently motivating your character to stay with the party? In a way, really, it’s them sticking with him. They’re the ones getting dragged into this contact with the Dynasty and this giant purple worm hunt and he’s absolutely baffled by it, but...also extremely relieved because this is the first time since Ilharess died that he’s felt fully comfortable around people. They’re a dysfunctional mess, but they’re his dysfunctional mess, and as long as they’re insistent on tagging along as he tries not to get executed arrested, he’s going to look after this dysfunctional mess as best he can.
33: What person does your character admire most? In terms of like,,, abilities and skills, Nol. Wizards are cool as shit man, and she’s already such a powerful one (eat your heart out Zolaed) and it is just super cool to be able to watch. In terms of more. personal ? sort of things, Nev. While I as the player know it’s not entirely true Vic definitely sees Nev as so put together, so sure of her standards and such. Even if she doesn’t seem super confident about things there’s still this aura of Knowing What She’s Doing. (and he has no real reason not to believe that at this point!)
50: Who in the party would your character prioritize rescuing, in dire circumstances? Instinctively, immediately, Nol. but dear god don’t make him pick.
60: What decision would the party have to make in order for your character to consider splitting off from the group? tbf he uh. tried to split already. but that was less of a disagreement thing and more of a martyr-shit thing. and considering how adamant they were about not letting him do that, it would probably take a decent amount for him to legitimately want to leave again. I think the big one still stands, if they got into something that got them actively working against the Dynasty. Like he’s done mercenary work in the Empire himself, but if it turned into something that specifically sided with the Empire in the war or went after his people,,, I think he’d be out
67: What is your character the most envious about, regarding anyone in the party? Literally anyone’s ability to just. Straight up Talk To a God. So right now Anthe and Nol specifically, even if Nol’s was just a quick weird call to what was possibly maybe a very weird ?? deity ?? He grew up vaguely following the Luxon because it is what his family did, and has been leaning into it a little more lately, but the revelation that some people’s gods just ??? talk to them? Answer questions? Some people have legitimate evidence to base their faith on??? wack
72: Who in the party would your character trust the most to keep an important secret? It was Nol way back when he first gave her his real name and it is still Nol now. She understands the importance of secrets, even if he doesn’t really. have any from the dreamteam anymore. She gets the significance.
93: Who in the party does your character trust the least? P.A.T. for sure. Though it is technically Professor Ducky he’s got the beef with, Vic definitely does not differentiate between the two of them, and he’s not about to stare down a dog in the waking world so he’ll happily side-eye P.A.T. That whole Dream “therapy” session got him real on edge with that pair, and P.A.T. is a little unnerving already, and he’s fine with them tagging along (always good to have more backup and more contingency plans) but he is definitely not about to divulge more than absolutely necessary to either of them.

Hi Nonny!!
AHHH okay so my last proposals fic rec list is REALLY old and in my old format that is gross and ugly and hard to read, so you know what? I’m starting over, and getting a nice fresh coat of paint on these gross cute fics! <3 Hope you enjoy! <3 Promises of Forever and “fake” proposals are included on this one too! <3 I’ve probably missed a few, so check out the See Also lists just to make sure LOL <3
PROPOSALS (May 2020)

Marriage and Weddings (April 2019)
Proposals
Weddings / Proposals / Husbands and Established Relationship
Established Relationship Pt 2 (June 2019)
Sherlock and John’s Wedding
New World, Old Words by thedeafwriter (G, 641 w., 1 Ch. || Deaf Sherlock, Sherlock Whump, Pining Sherlock, Marriage Proposal, Fluff, Always John) – It was disconcerting to experience. One second, he was laying on the table, breathing in the gas that would make him sleep, the next, he was dragging his eyes open to look around the bright room, trying to wake up.
This Isn't About the Bathtub by cypress_tree (G, 1,142 w., 1 Ch. || Marriage Proposal) – John and Sherlock go to Angelo's for dinner. In both of their pockets are rings they are going to propose with, but the other has no idea. John proposes first, and Sherlock answers by pulling out his engagement ring.
Our Bodies Bend Light by lovetincture (G, 1,211 w., 1 Ch. || Established Relationship, Fluff, Domestic Fluff, Beekeeping, Retirement) – They got married. Of course they got married. Snapshots in a relationship. There's a jar of bees in the bookstore and a cottage in Sussex. Sherlock's not the marrying kind, and John's tried this once before, but they're Sherlock and John. Of course.
A Metaphorical Gesture by cyparissus (T, 1,578 w., 1 Ch. || Marriage Proposal, Fluff) – "Sherlock, are you--" the words die in John's throat and he has to swallow and start again, "Are you asking me to marry you?"
and yes I said yes I will Yes by Mithen (T, 1,662 w., 1 Ch. || Fluff, Humour, Est. Rel. Marriage Proposal) – Sherlock has deduced that John is going to propose to him, and he's ready to accept. If only John would actually get around to it...
The Marriage Proposal Negotiation by Goddess_of_the_Night (G, 2,161 w., 1 Ch. || Dev. Rel., Possessive Sherlock, Insecure Sherlock, Fluff, First Kiss, Post Mary) – Sherlock hasn't ever really done anything the traditional way, so of course it wouldn't bother him to propose to John even though they're not even dating. And the fact that John is already on a date with someone else when he decides to do it? Tedious.
You Know, The Old Saying by songlin (T, 2,248 w., 1 Ch. || Wedding, Marriage Proposal, Fluff, Engagement) – "Marry me. I need to have you forever." Unrepentant husbands!Johnlock fluff.
Extraordinary by genesius (G, 2,860 w., 1 Ch. || Marriage Proposal, Sherlock Plays the Violin, Established Relationship, Morse Code, Fluff, One Shot) – Sherlock's deduced that John's going to Italy to buy him a violin. Even the greatest detective alive makes a few mistakes.
The General Idea by agirlsname (T, 3,022 w., 1 Ch. || Retirement, Promise of Forever / Proposal, POV John, First Kiss, Tooth-Rotting Fluff, Soft Sherlock, Idiots in Love, Crying / Emotional Sherlock, Love Confessions) – After twenty years of friendship, John is used to Sherlock acting weirdly. But the news Sherlock finally brings himself to deliver change the carefully built dynamics between them, and John realises it's time to act.
Engaged by lifeonmars (NR, 3,146 w., 1 Ch. || Marriage Proposal, Fluff, Holmes Family, Song Fic) – Sherlock did not believe in marriage, but he wanted to be married. He found this something of a surprise. Part 2 of Damage
And as the seasons change, I love you more by Teatrolley (NR, 3,219 w., 1 Ch. || Fluff and Angst, Est. Rel., Marriage / Proposal) – A year in the lives of John and Sherlock, essentially.
Bagged & Tagged by Regency (T, 3,339 w., 1 Ch. || Drunken Confessions, Fluff and Crack, Marriage Proposal) – A very inebriated John devises a clever means of proposing marriage to Sherlock. Unfortunately he's forgotten all about it by the next morning.
Rumpled by WhimsicalEthnographies (E, 3,601 w., 1 Ch. || Est. Rel., Insecure Sherlock, Fluff, PWP, Proposal, Bottomlock) – Then, halfway through a documentary on river otters that neither of them was paying attention to--how could John, with a gangly, limp consulting detective practically purring in his lap?--Sherlock suddenly bolted upright, looked at John with a perplexed expression and a crinkle above his nose, and blurted, “Marry me.” Part 4 of Longitudinal Cohort
Bolt Holes by PostcardsfromTheoryland (T, 4,177 w., 1 Ch. || H/C, Angst, Drug Mentions, Pining Sherlock) – John asked, one evening, if Sherlock liked her. To which he grudgingly had to say yes, and John said he was glad. Because John was going to propose to her.
Unforgiven by 221b_hound (M, 4,721 w., 1 Ch. || Marriage Proposal, Victor Trevor, Jealous / Protective John, Jealous Sherlock, Sherlock’s Past) – Sherlock’s latest case is for his ex boyfriend, the brilliant and handsome Professor Victor Trevor. John is not too happy about that. But things aren’t what they seem, an old friend of John’s is involved in the case, and John has a few surprises up his sleeve. Also - a proposal! Part 16 of Unkissed
Applied Linguistics by what_alchemy (M, 4,837 w., 1 Ch. || Possessive / Anxious Sherlock, Introspection, Bed Sharing, Past John Whump, Est. Rel., Marriage Proposal, Sherlock Loves John So Much, Word Play) – “He wants to shake John by the shoulders, wants to open his mouth and swallow John whole. Wants to marry him.” Sherlock searches for the right words.
What Happens in Vegas (is legally binding in the United Kingdom) by moonblossom (E, 5,051 w., 1 Ch. || Accidental Marriage, Friends to Husbands to Lovers, CSI Crossover, Fluff & Porn, Bathtub Sex, Hand Jobs, First Time) – When a case sends the boys to Vegas, John comes out of it with a bit more than he bargained for. Part 19 of Prompt Fills, Remixes, Works inspired by others
My First, My Only, and My Forever by vintagelilacs (E, 6,220 w., 1 Ch. || Post-ASiB, Virgin Sherlock, Pining Sherlock, Sherlock’s Bum, John’s Scar, Sherlock POV, Body Worship, Fingering, Bottomlock, Promise of Forever / Proposals, Misunderstanding, First Kiss/Time, Loss of Virginity, Virginity Kink, Seduction) – Sherlock narrowed his eyes. He was missing a vital piece of data, he was sure. John had been looking at him oddly ever since they left Buckingham Palace, and the ensuing incident with Irene Adler had only exacerbated his erratic behaviour. What was it? Why would he care that Sherlock was a virgin? There was nothing reminiscent of mockery or pity in his gaze. And then it hit him. John Watson was aroused.
A Silver Sixpence by _doodle (NC-17, 16,400 w., 2 Ch. || LJ Fic || For a Case / Case Fic, Fake Relationship, Humour, Romance, Marriage Proposal, Awkward Idiots, Cuddling, Touching, Kissing, Love Confessions, Bed Sharing, Friends to Lovers, Fake Until It’s Not, Schmoop and Fluff, Bottomlock) – “John, we need to get married. It’s for a case, not any romantic notions on my part pertaining to our partnership,” Sherlock said, with brutal honesty, and without even looking up.
Never-Ending Cycle by orphan_account (T, 17,211 w., 1 Ch. || Christmas, Est. Rel., Proposal, Fluff) – Or, four times Sherlock Holmes attempted to propose to John Watson, and the Christmas Party at which he finally did. Sherlock thinks he's a miserable failure, John is confused, Mrs. Hudson and Lestrade provide some unsatisfactory advice, and Mummy is, as always, the solution. All in a lovely, fluffy holiday theme.
About Sleep and Coffee and the Existence of Fate by Atiki (E, 17,426 w., 6 Ch. || Fluff, Marriage Proposal, Humour, 5+1) – Naturally, John was startled when suddenly the ultimate solution occurred to him: Marriage. This was, of course, a bit of a fundamental problem rather than an actual solution. One didn't simply use the words “Sherlock” and “marriage” within the same sentence. Not even in a hypothetical context. Five times John kind of wanted to propose to Sherlock, and one time he didn’t have to.
Permanent Fixture by vitruvianwatson (E, 18,836 w., 9 Ch || Post-S4, Parentlock, Slow Build, Friends to Lovers, They’re Good Parents, Blushing Sherlock, First Kiss/Time, Explicit Consent, Sexual Content, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Mutual Pining, Big Feelings, Crying, First Kiss, Fluff, Anxious Sherlock, Inexperienced Sherlock, Emotional Communication, Love Confessions) – Now, as Rosie sat curled up against Sherlock’s side, John watched and wondered exactly how he had ended up here. Domesticity had never suited him before, not at any point in his life. His disastrous marriage had been proof of that. But somehow, here in the warmth and safety of 221B Baker Street, here with Sherlock Holmes reading medical jargon to his daughter, Sherlock’s bony feet nudging against his leg, John couldn’t imagine anyplace that would make him happier.
The One With the Proposal by kim47 (E, 22,375 w., 3 Ch. || Fluff, Romance, Marriage Proposal) – Proposing shouldn't be this difficult.
Sonatina in G Minor by SilentAuror (E, 22,574 w., 1 Ch. || Case Fic, POV Sherlock, Angst, UST, Sherlock’s Violin, Post-S3, Romance) – John has come back to Baker Street, but Sherlock doesn't understand the strange tension between them, even after he begins teaching John to play the violin at John's request.
a good old-fashioned happy ending by darcylindbergh (E, 32,731 w., 26 Ch. || Christmas, Frottage, Comfort, Est. Rel., Fluff, Insecure Sherlock, Frottage, Nightmares, Sleepy Sherlock, Marriage Proposal, Humour, Fluff, Dancing, Cooking, Happy Ending) – For Christmas this year, Sherlock wants to get John something special: something every fairytale deserves. Part 2 of things fairy tales are made of
Only To Be With You by SinceWhenDoYouCallMe_John (M, 40,768 w., 4 Ch. || Black Mirror / Future AU || Character Death, Future Technology, Sickness/Cancer/Illness, Heavy Angst with Happy Ending, First Person POV John, Pining John, Heart-Wrenching Angst, Promise of Forever) – I tell myself that next time I’ll come near this same place again. Wait around for the mysterious stranger in his coat to dash past me, hot on the heels of a new criminal in black. I think this all the way back to my Exit, planning where I’ll wait and what I’ll say when I see him. Scheming on how to get his name. It’s only once I reach the Exit Point door that I realize two hours and forty-five minutes have passed, and I realize that this won’t be the last time I Visit. It won’t be the last time at all.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse by SilentAuror (E, 50,635 w., 1 Ch. || Post-S4/S4 Divergence, Case Fic, For a Case / Reverse Fake-Relationship, Conferences, Marriage Equality, Travelling / New York, Pride, Homophobia, Bottomlock, Marriage Proposal, John POV, Sexuality, Love Confessions, Emotional Love Making, Public Hand Jobs, Blow Jobs, Passionate Kissing, Needy/Clingy Sherlock, Virgin Sherlock, Touching / Hand Holding, Bed Sharing, Little Spoon Sherlock, Intense Orgasms) – John and Sherlock go to New York to attend a conference run by the National Defence of Traditional Marriage Coalition in order to investigate the potential bombing of the annual Manhattan Pride parade. As the conference unfolds, John finds himself repulsed by the toxic ideology being presented, which becomes relevent to his own unacknowledged issues and his friendship with Sherlock...
Bridging the Ravine by SilentAuror (E, 58,887 w., 3 Ch. || Post S4, Couple For a Case, Bed-Sharing, First Times, Confessions, Awkwardness, Sex Trafficking, Massages, Wet T-Shirt Contest, Group Therapy, Past Loss of Child) – Sherlock and John go undercover at Ravine Valley, a therapy centre for same-sex male couples in an investigation into a possible human trafficking ring. As they pose as a couple and fake their way through the therapy sessions for the sake of the case, it quickly becomes difficult to avoid discussing their very real issues. Set roughly six nine months after series 4.
The Burning by SrebrnaFH (M, 60,658 w., 24 Ch. || Reverse Reichenbach, Suicide, Depression, Hurt Sherlock / John, Separation, BAMF John, Good Big Brother Mycroft, Angst, Implied/Referenced Torture, Fake Character Death, Rescue Mission, Reconciliation / Reunion, Hospitalization, Marriage Proposal, Illnesses, Physical Therapy, Happily Ever After) – Something went very, very wrong. John had seemed, if not happy, then reasonably content with his life. Sherlock had never predicted something like THIS might have happened. Not in his worst nightmares. He was the lousiest friend ever, apparently. At least Mycroft found him something to occupy his mind with, so that he didn't have to go back to 221B and stare at the walls and the chair, where John Watson would never sit again.
The Bells of King's College by SilentAuror (E, 64,019 w., 5 Ch. || Post-S4, Missed Opportunities, Angst with Happy Ending, Fake Relationship, Case Fic, John POV, Jealous John, John in Denial, Travelling / Holidays, Virgin Sherlock, Wedding Proposals) – It's only been two weeks since Eurus Holmes disrupted their lives when Mycroft sends John and Sherlock to Cambridge to pose as an engaged couple at a wedding show in the hopes of solving six unsolved deaths...
The Wedding Garments by cwb (E, 105,390 w., 36 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || Alternate Future AU || Alternate First Meeting, Dating / Arranged Marriages, Romance, First Kiss/Time, Heavy Petting, Cuddles, POV Sherlock, Virgin Sherlock, Idiots in Love, Slow Burn / Falling in Love / Dev. Rel., Nervous/Anxious Sherlock, Jealous/Cranky, Hiking, Vacation Homes / Honeymoon, Sherlock’s Family, Horny John/Sherlock, Patient John, Massages, Hand Jobs, Assassination Plots, Hand Jobs / Oral Sex, Case Fic, Emotional Love Making, Bath Time Fun) – This is the story of a young consulting detective who wants nothing to do with marriage and an army doctor who wants to find true love. It's 2020 post-Brexit England and the British government is encouraging arranged marriages. Candidates meet through state-run agencies and date in hopes of finding love (and tax benefits). Sherlock doesn't need or want a spouse, at least not until John Watson shows up. Hesitant to give in to his more carnal urges because of the way they derail his mind, how will Sherlock progress toward the more intimate aspects of a relationship? The answer lies in a very special wedding gift.
Proving A Point by elldotsee & J_Baillier (E, 186,270 w., 28 Ch. || Me Before You Fusion || Medical Realism, Insecure John, Depression, Romance, Angst, POV John, Sherlock Whump, Serious Illness, Doctor John, Injury Recovery, Assisted Suicide, Sherlock’s Violin, Awkward Sexual Situations, Alcoholism, Drugs, Idiots in Love, Slow Burn, Body Image, Friends to Lovers, Hurt / Comfort, Pain, Big Brother Mycroft, Intimacy, Anxiety, PTSD, Family Issues, Psychological Trauma, John Whump, Case Fics, Loneliness, Pain) – Invalided home from Afghanistan, running out of funds and convinced that his surgical career is over, John Watson accepts a mysterious job offer to provide care and companionship for a disabled person. Little does he know how much hangs in the balance of his performance as he settles into his new life at Musgrave Court.

whats up my dudes !!! i am bee, i’m 19 & i never fuckin learned how to stop using this exact vine reference in all my intro posts !! i will be playing my Babe andromeda black. but first a lil bit about me b4 i start 2 ramble about andromeda: i’m always a slut for the Aesthetic, i’m a math Nerd aaaand im probably ?? way too in love w fitzwilliam darcy. also i will Always want to plot so if u do too please hmu !! nyways u can find out more abt my daughter andromeda under the cut !!
- ̗̀✰ • 【 XU JIAQI, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER 】 ❝ did you see ANDROMEDA BLACK on the train back to hogwarts ? they’re a PUREBLOOD in their THIRD year as a TWENTY-year-old SLYTHERIN. apparently they’re the RECUSANT around the grounds; most likely because they give off an aura of rain on dark windows, the heavy sweetness of red wine, ink-stained fingers, a tempest barely contained within a girl. of all the social media platforms, they’re definitely most obsessed with their INSTAGRAM; probably because they’re SELF-RELIANT, but also INTROSPECTIVE. however, on the new manifest app in mr. carlos’ english class, they’ve already managed to anonymously steal the username: NIMUE. ❞ ┊ 「 bee, 19, est, she/her. 」
PINTEREST !!
rec·u·sant ( noun. ) a person who refuses to submit to an authority or to comply with a regulation.
aka just a fancy way of saying rebel !
( rain on dark windowpanes, the heavy sweetness of red wine, ink-stained fingers, greyish purple of dawn, cold bones, fastening the clasp of a silver necklace. dark curls escaping from pins, starched white shirts under wool coats, cold coffee dregs and burnt out matches from a guilty cigarette. fog over the scottish moor, the soft tick of a grandfather clock, stars peeking through an overcast sky, the stark echo of a single violin. the pages of a book turning in a library past midnight. holy places long since abandoned, the simmering wildness of a bird caged, and the ancient ache for freedom. a tempest barely contained within a girl. )
PRE-HOGWARTS !!
andromeda & her mother have what u can call a strained relationship. from her moment of birth, druella saw everything andromeda did as an act of rebellion, whether it was a childish question asked in the wrong place at the wrong time, or getting so absorbed in a book she forgot to come down for dinner, or a bit of accidental wandless magic born out of a moment of frustration. every day was a trial against andromeda, with her parents acting as the judge, jury and executioner, & over and over again she was found GUILTY.
andromeda never meant to defy her mother, at first, but no matter how hard she tried to please druella, nothing she ever did was quite good enough. there was always some fault, whether it was a lock of hair tumbling free from its pin, a corset come unlaced, posture ruined from hunching over a book. her wrists were too bony, her lips were too thin, her skin too easily flushed.
[ TW ABUSE ] it didn’t escape andromeda’s notice that every flaw her mother criticized was one druella shared as well, and when she grew older she realized her mother’s dissatisfaction with andromeda was merely a product of her own dissatisfaction with herself. but that didn’t feed her the nights she was denied dinner for her ‘ misbehaviour ’. it didn’t take back the days andromeda went unable to speak thanks to a punitive silencio, and it didn’t grant andromeda’s wish to have a real mother who loved her. [ END TW ]
did druella love her children ? who knows. maybe she did, in her own twisted way. but druella was first and foremost a business woman, and her main trade was her daughters. andromeda grew up listening to endless warnings that her mother would “ never be able to find andromeda a husband if … ” and then came whichever grievance she’d chosen to focus on that day.
it cannot come as a surprise that andromeda learned to live in the shadows, away from her mother’s disapproving glare; that she learned to rely on herself and herself only, that she learned to watch & observe & test the waters, to think before acting. ( of course, druella did not approve of this either, and informed andromeda that no man would want a girl who was so serious all the time. )
her parents often dragged her and her sisters to various pureblood functions, where andromeda stood off to the side in uncomfortably starched dresses, disappearing like smoke any time someone looked like they were heading over to strike up conversation. she would explore the pureblood manors, all silent footsteps & watchful eyes, making observations on how the wizarding world’s elite lived their lives, noting separate beds in the master bedrooms & half-empty whiskey bottles in the washrooms. it seemed like everyone was only looking out for themselves in this world, trying to further their own social status and wealth.
at home, she would escape to the roof with a book, whether it was a history of warlocks or the kind of torrid romance novel druella pretended she didn’t read, dark eyes hardly looking up as the sun sank lower in the sky, fingers blackened with ink by the time she closed her book and descended into the house to face her mother’s wrath that she missed her piano lessons.
is it strange that such a cynical girl could have such a yearning for beautiful things ? or would that merely be a side effect of cynicism, to long for something to thaw a hardened heart ? andromeda loved beautiful things, perhaps a bit too much, but she did not trust them. nothing beautiful was made to last, and if it was, it wasn’t truly beautiful. sunsets faded to darkness, books ended, lovers grew apart. the inherent transience of beauty made andromeda crave it all the more.
HOGWARTS !!
hogwarts was a breath of fresh air for andromeda, the chance to experience life outside her parents’ regime. to her inquisitive, probing nature, an ancient, magical castle full of history & secrets was paradise, let alone all the classes it housed. and the people — andromeda had never seen so many people in her lifetime. hundreds & hundreds of students filled the castle, all with their own thoughts and lives and desires. an introvert by nature, she didn’t interact, merely observed. she made best friends with the library & the constellations, sneaking out of the dorm to sit with her legs dangling over the fifty-foot drop of the astronomy tower, eyes finding her constellation, andromeda, and wondering if her fate was written in the stars too; drunk on the beauty of an untamed scottish night.
the unidentifiable yearning she’d always kept tucked inside a corner of her heart ballooned until she could hardly stand it. it was a yearning to be something more than the perfect pureblood wife her mother was trying to groom her to be, a thirst to prove herself in some way she didn’t even understand yet, and it was this ambition & drive that got her sorted into slytherin.
if druella & cygnus had thought andromeda was unmanageable before hogwarts , when she wasn’t even trying to be, she was downright wild when she returned for winter break in first year. now that she knew life could be better than what she was currently living at home, she buzzed with a restless energy that alarmed her parents. andromeda may have been troublesome before, but this was bordering on dangerous. druella made the decision that andromeda would not be returning to hogwarts. [ ABUSE TW ] this sparked one of the worst fights they’d ever had, and culminated in a rare but unforgiving physical beating. [ END TW ]
eventually druella conceded, and andromeda was allowed to return, but she was much more cautious now. she only made friends who her parents would approve of, she kept her nose clean, and at home, she played the part of the dutiful daughter. there were still small rebellions, though — long curls cut short with a silver flash of the kitchen scissors; a nicked pack of her father’s cigarettes smoked cross-legged on the roof, coughing into her fist so nobody would hear. as she got older, she paired the cigarettes & book with red wine , the finest she dared steal without risk of being caught. this was her escape, her small patch of beauty in an ugly world.
andromeda keeps to herself at hogwarts as much as she can. the only people she spent time with were those her parents approved of, and she didn’t like most of them. she threw herself into her schoolwork instead, easily landing herself a spot among the top students.
but she loves hogwarts, loves it with all her heart, as so many abused children do – it’s a safe haven, a place where she can at least pretend she’s free. she loves learning everything that she can ( in fact, she was very nearly sorted into ravenclaw ). her favourite place to be is the astronomy tower, and she still escapes there whenever she’s feeling a bit too claustrophobic.
she was chosen to be a slytherin prefect for her year and although she thought she wouldn’t like it, she’s grown to enjoy the position. not for the power it gives her over her fellow students, but for the escape it brings. she can associate with people she would normally never talk to, and roam the castle freely past curfew. and andromeda isn’t a naturally nurturing person, but she’s found that she enjoys talking to and helping the younger years. she sees their wonder at hogwarts in their eyes, the same wonder that she felt, and has grown quite protective over quite a few of them.
she’s technically in slug club, due to her prowess in potions and her illustrious family name, although she hardly ever goes – she does not like slughorn at all, nor most of the people he’s selected to be in his little club. other than that, however, andromeda doesn’t make a habit of joining clubs or teams or anything that would involve her being forced to interact with people.
PERSONALITY !!
those who don’t know andromeda might say she’s aloof, proud, detached, all flint eyes & sharp edges. and they wouldn’t be wrong. andromeda’s habit of keeping to the shadows has carried on into her hogwarts years, and as an introvert, her solitary nature can sometimes come off as downright anti-social. she’s naturally pensive, and her pensive face just so happens to look pissed off.
she finds it hard to trust people. she’s so used to a world shaped by selfishness that she rarely meets someone she doesn’t suspect of having ulterior motives. after all , beautiful people, like beautiful things, are temporary. everyone turns ugly sooner or later; everyone’s claws are eventually revealed.
andromeda carries an unmistakable air of wealth that, although entirely unintentional, can rub people the wrong way. she has a taste for the finer things in life — an aged wine, a silken scarf — and sees no reason why she shouldn’t enjoy them. she’s well read & well bred, and has a vocabulary and accent that can seem pretentious to some.
but those who do know andromeda, those precious, precious few, know of her vivacity, her independent streak, her love of learning, her dry humour, the dimples that appear with every mischievous smile. they know the fire she’s kept hidden in her heart for so long, and the proud, apathetic mask she slips on so easily whenever she’s hurting.
MODERNISMS !!
listen as much as i love the idea of andromeda in a modern age, it’s mostly just bc of the wealth of information that’s available to her ? like staying up ages watching random ass videos & falling into a black hole of wikipedia articles & having 12 languages on duolingo and a streak on khan academy. fuckn nerd ass
but social media ? not for this bitch !! i really have Tried to get her to use social media so i can do fun sc threads & such but she wont listen to me smh. u know when u meet someone cute & you’re trying to stalk them online but they either dont have any social media or it’s just like an empty acct with no posts ? shes that bitch. she’ll text people but she hates the like …. publicity of social media. doesnt trust fb at all ( and she shouldnt !! zuck shes onto u ) and probably has a snapchat someone made her get but she consistently replies like 3 days late, breaks streaks, has a snapscore of like 304. what a mess. shes a grandma. understands & enjoys memes but never uses them or references them. if andromeda black references a meme around u then u know she trusts u implicitly
she’s wary but intrigued by this new english class. she dreads to think of the reaction it’s getting from pureblood families like hers, but she recognizes this for what it is: an escape. an opportunity.
she chose her username nimue after the famed lady of the lake from the stories of king arthur and the round table. she’d loved those stories as a child, and was especially drawn to the mysterious witch, half-good and half-bad, who trapped the kingdom’s most powerful wizard inside a tree to gain her independence, who gifted the king with his famed sword, who was there when the great golden age of the kingdom rose and who was there when it fell.
OTHER !!
gender / sexuality: cis female / bisexual
birthday / zodiac: jan 11 / capricorn
mbti: intj
moral alignment: chaotic neutral
temperament: melancholic
patronus: raven
amortentia: dried ink, pine, petrichor, dark chocolate
that was ??? ridic long so bless u if you read all of that mess. im Too Lazy to list wanted connections rn, maybe i’ll do that later who knows. but anyways pls plot w me & let me love u down

ABOUT 7 PLAYLISTS ON SPOTIFY
Since September I´ve been trying to create an original playlists on Spotify with music that I like and I wanna share with you guys. In this post I just wanna link them, in case you wanna find them, listen to them or at least maybe find some new unknown artists to you :) Enjoy them anywhere you go, if you´re on board, commute to work or school, even when you are at home.
Od září se snažím dvakrát do měsíce vytvářet a sdílet playlisty na Spotify se zajímavými umělci, které mě zaujali nebo je poslouchám téměř denně. V tomto příspěvku vám je chci ještě jednou všechny nasdílet a podělit se o ně s vámi v případě, že byste je chtěli najít, poslechnout, a třeba i nalézt nějaké nové kapely na poslouchání ať už jste v práci, na cestě do školy nebo doma.
( Click on the picture, you will be linked to Spotify playlists]

SUSANE LISTENS VOL.1
Banfi - Mercy Street
The Kooks - Naive
The Wombats - Let´s Dance To Joy Division
Lake Malawi - Paris
Arctic Monkeys - Four Out of Five
Cage the Elephant - Cigarette Daydreams
Coasts - You
Lake Malawi - Maryland
This playlist is one of my favourites, I found Banfi on concert in Prague, actually it was concert of Lake Malawi releasing their album Surrounded by Light. The Kooks are one of my fav band ever, so Arctic Monkeys are. Cigarette Daydreams by Cage the Elephants reflects amazingly my after break up period in my life two years ago. Coasts - the british band, I discovered thanks to my friend at concert in Prague last year. Wombats just perfectly combines all of that together. and Paris and Maryland by Lake Malawi - Czech pop-indie-rock band is kind of signature songs from time, when I was alone in Prague, long-distance relationship and long walks around Prague with my thoughts. You can vote for Lake Malawi in Eurovision until 21st January. Download the app to your phone, vote for Lake Malawi here.
Můj první a jeden z mých nejoblíbenějších playlistů. Výběr obsahuje Banfi, které jsem poprvé slyšela a vlastně tak i objevila, na koncertě Lake Malawi v Praze na křtu jejich alba Surrounded by Light. The Kooks jsou moje nejoblíbenější kapela, to samé Arctic Monkeys - takže tyhle dvě kapely v mých playlistech nemůžou chybět. Dále pokračujeme Cage the Elephants, které pro mě symbolizují porozchodový čas před dvěma lety - sakra důležitý období v mým seberozvoji. No a završují to Wombats, Lake Malawi a Coasts, do kterých jsem se zamilovala v Rock Café v Praze před rokem a kousek, kam mě vzal kamarád jako akreditovaný press na vyzkoušení si fotit koncertový fotky. Lake Malawi je česká pop-indie-rock kapela, která má potenciál tvořit svou hudbu na světové úrovni - proto je nyní můžeš podpořit v hlasování na Eurovision (jak na to se dovíš u nich na oficálním instagramu v odkazu v biu nebo hlasuj zde). Jejich Paris a Maryland songy ve mě vyvolávají vzpomínky na procházky po Praze, kde jsem žila sama, ve vztahu na dálku a Honza mi moc chyběl.
SUSANE LISTENS VOL.2
Plini - Electric Sunrise
Bon Iver - Holocene
Alex Turner - Glass in the Park
Radiohead - Daydreaming
Jeff Beck - Unforgiven
Olafur Arnalds, Nanna Bryndis Hilmadotir - Particles
Olafur Arnalds - study for player piano
Mogwai - Take me somewhere nice
Gavin Luke - The Gift
Laraaji - Introspection
Aaron Lansing - Faded Dreams
Hans Zimmer - Time
James Horner - The bioluminescence of the night
Nicolas Hooper - Harry & Hermione
This one was meant to be for listening to fall asleep - for me perfect. However, the first song might be a little bit distracting :) Third song by Alex Turner and his Glass in the Park, originally made for the Submarine movie - aww his voice, his lyrics, the music, so calming so sweet…it just caresses my soul. The rest of the songs will take you to your Dreamland very quickly. Calm and relaxing music, nice slow voices joining the whole atmosphere and inviting to fall asleep or just balance your mind and think about something nice. My fav is Particles, Avatar Music and the song from Harry Potter - looove how smooth and touching this music is.
Tento playlist je hlavně myšlený jako spešl playlist na usínání - nebo alespoň na mě funguje. I když se vám může zdát, že první song se trochu vymyká a je tak trošku “jiný”…hned mu přijdete na chuť. Třetí píseň od Alexe Turnera a jeho Glass in the Park, pocházející ze soundtracku k filmu The Submarine. Jeho hlas, texty a hudba vás pohladí. Zbytek písniček vás zaručeně vezmou do říše snů. Hodně klidná hudba a pomalý zpěv přímo lákají do toho se zamyslet, zrelaxovat se a pomalu a klidně usnout. Moje oblíbený jsou Particles, hudba z Avatara a soundtrack z Harryho Pottera - to je srdcovka.
SUSANE LISTENS VOL.3
Alabama Shakes - Gimme All Your Love
London Grammar - Hey Now
Cold Beat - 62 Moons
Daughter - Youth
Banfi - If not for you
Lake Malawi - Not My Street
Phoenix - Too Young
Florence + The Machines - Delilah
Tycho - See
Coldplay - Midnight
Alabama Shakes - Sound & Color
The Veils - Swimming with the Crocodiles
Awww each song is so nicely done. Great background music for each situation - if you are home cooking, you´ve got friends at your place, going shopping or just walking somewhere…I kind of like this playlist for anything. Alabama Shakes is American band with distinctive and soulful rock, and voice of the lead singer is something magical. Second song by London Grammar - I´ve discovered this trio because of Dior J´adore commercial and since then I looove them - very moody, but so good. Phoenix and their French indie-pop won´t let you calm :) Coldplay and their Midnight is such a masterpiece for thinking or creating, and last song by The Veils - Swimming in the Crocodiles is just right full stop for this music session.
Aaa každý song z tohoto playlistu je prostě super! Hudba se hodí jako podkresová pro každou příležitost - hodí se domů, pokud si jen tak jste a nebo vaříte, nebo máte kamarády na návštěvě, nebo zrovna někam jdete. Já tenhle soundtrack poslouchám kdykoliv se mi zachce. Americká kapela Alabama Shakes vás očaruje svým odlišným stylem a zpěvaččin hlas je něco naprosto božskýho. Po nich nastupuje London Grammar, bristké trio, které jsem objevila díky reklamě na Dior parfém J´adore a od té doby je miluju. Jsou hodně deep, ale moc dobrý. Phoenix a jejich francouzský indie-pop se synťákama vás rozhodně nenechají v klidu :) Další následuje Midnight od Coldplay, což je pro mě osobně skvělý song na rozdmýchání myšlení a kreativitu. Poslední song od The Veils je jen dokonalou tečkou za touhle hudební smrští.

This playlist symbolizes a window into taste of music of my childhood. I´m very grateful to my parents leading me to listen to different styles of music and they educated me pretty well in that. Music played all the time at our home, and we used to dance, sing and just be happy. Thank you for that :)
A máme tady playlist symbolizující moje dětství a takové okénko do mého hudebního vkusu, který byl hodně ovlivněn samozřejmě tím, co poslouchali rodiče. Jsem vděčná za to, že mám vzdělání v super hudbě a v mnoha hudebních směrech. Muzika hrála v našem bytě neustále a my pořád zpívali, tančili a prostě byli šťastní. Dík za to :)

Šestý a tudíž předposlední playlist se skládá z písniček, které jste mi zaslali vy :) Na instagramu jsem před nějakou dobou rozjela research a ptala se vás na vaše oblíbené písničky. Já z toho vybrala 37 songů, míchají se zde různé styly, interpreti i nálady. Mockrát děkuji všem, kdo poslali song a můžeme si to určitě někdy zopakovat. Byla zábava si všechno poslechnout a vybírat. Mezi moje nejoblíbenější patří Alan Gogol - Chime - tu jsem neznala, velice krásná instrumentální kytarová hudba, Sia - Big girls cry, BEP - BIG LOVE, Pink Floyd - Echoes a mnoho dalších. Moje nejoblíbenější skladbu najdete na úplném konci playlistu :)
SUSANE LISTENS VOL.7
Isaac Gracie - Show Me The Love

Skinny Living - What About Us (Pink Cover)
Joe McAdam - Going to New York
Ellysse Mason - Hunt Me Down
Eddie Vedder - Guaranteed
Stu Larsen - Til The Sun Comes Back

Ryan Adams - Wonderwall
Matthew and the Atlas - Can’t You See
Eddie Vedder - Rise
Anberlin - Creep
Ryan Adams - Oh My Sweet Carolina
Paul Canning - Your song
Angus & Julia Stone - Stay With Me
Last but definitely not least playlist ♥ Have a look - full of amazing artists♥ It´s focused on more like an acoustic performance. Each song has deep lyrics and great mood. We discovered Blushes - the band with synthetizer is only exception with electric quitars , amazing band we saw in Jimmy´s Club MCR. Joe McAdam - busker from Christmas markets and his calming voice is amazing for the soul. After this song you´ve got a chance to listen to his girlfriend Ellysse - very talented and beautiful aswell…check them on SPOTIFY :) ♥ Stu Larsen is our all-time fav mate, traveler, photographer, musician - if you don´t know his music…hurry up and listen to his lyrics and amazing guitar game. Eddie Vedder composed this music for soundtrack for INTO THE WILD movie…both as movie so as soundtrack is one of my fav music. Ryan Adams has re-made Wonderwall originally by Oasis into something different, but soo pleasing :) Roo Panes is a band with very charismatic leading singer - ladies :) but his voice is as charming as his appearance :)
Máme tu poslední playlist, plný skvělých umělců, kteří si zaslouží trochu lásky ♥ Tady jsem se více soustředila na výběr spíše akustické hudby. Každý song má krásný text a uvede vás do skvělého rozpoložení. Blushes jsme objevili s Honzou tady v MCR v Jimmy´s klubu. Je to jediná výjimka s elektrickými kytarami a synťákem :) Dalším je Joe McAdam, busker, který mi prodal svoje CDéčko na vánočních trzích, jeho hlas je neuvěřitelně uklidňující. Hned po něm si můžete poslechnout jeho talentovanou a krásnou přítelkyni -Ellysse. Určitě na oba mrkněte na Spotify :) ♥Stu Larsen nám sedí lidsky, je to cestovatel, fotograf a skvělej muzikant. Pokud neznáte jeho hudbu - tak si ho prosím poslechněte :) jeho texty vám přímo budou mluvit z duše a na kytaru válí :) Nádherný písničky k filmu Into the Wild, složil Eddie Vedder - a jak soundtrack, tak film stojí za pozornost :) Pokud máte rádi Wonderwall od Oasis, tak se vám zaručeně bude líbit i jak tuhle klasiku předělal Ryan Adams :) V neposlední řadě bych se ráda zmínila o kapele Roo Panes, jejichž zpěvák je krásný, ale stejně charizmatický je i jeho hlas.
And finally we´re at the end of today´s article :)
Let me know which one do you like the most and let me know if you want me to continue in creating these playlists for you guys, It was fun and it´s quite cool to do it. Furthermore, Spotify is ultra fast platform for finding new interesting artists. I´ve to say, that we are into it with Johnny - finding something new and refreshing.
Feel free to share your music with me guys - use #susanelistens in your stories or tag me on Instagram with your music :)♥ I´m curious.& cannot wait.
Love,
Susane
Dejte mi vědět, který playlist je váš neoblíbenější a jestli byste chtěli, abych nadále pokračovala ve vytváření playlistů i v tomto roce. Docela mě to baví a Spotify je ultra rychlá platforma najít neznámé umělce - což je takový náš koníček i s Honzou.
Budu ráda, když budete vaše oblíbené songy sdílet i se mnou - použij #susanelistens v tvých stories nebo taguj v příspěvcích na Instagramu♥ Těším se :)
