List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers ♡♡♡

Awww cute! Hell yeah I love this stuff 💜

1.Class literature and poetry. I'm so passion about nerd shit. Like the Odyssey, the Divine Comedy, Shakespeare, Arthurian legends, the romantic poets, gothic novels. I can't get enough of that flowery, swoon worthy trash. I try not to go on about it too much cause I can get a little insufferable.

2. Peppermint tea with honey. I love a lot of teas but there's something about peppermint and honey that sooths the soul.

3.Catholic/religious imagery. I was raised catholic and am super duper not anymore but i love the imagery and art, especially when it's used to critique the church or in a fun spooky goth way.

4.That lilacs bloom in late May, around my birthday (this one just went by lol). It's silly but purple's my fav colour and where im from they always pop up within a few days of my bday. It's like a little gift from nature.

5. Not to be too simple but reading and/or writing! Nothing makes my happier than a good story. Whether it's a little fic or a big ol' book. My fav genres (reading/writing) are romance, horror and fantasy. I'd love to publish some weird pulpy romances someday.

💜🖤💜

Siena on a rainy day, my hair is suffering but my heart is full 🩷

Palio season is almost here and the whole city is full of life!

I had my doubts about staying but now that i started my healing journey ( physically and mentally ) i finally understood that this is my place.

I am still struggling and dark thoughts still hunts my mind...but now i know that i am in the right place to fully grow up and become the best version of me.

Hehehehe lil info on the randomness of me :3

Happy 10th anniversary to FNAF!!

[heavenbarnes]

not being able to find older bf!simon around the house and while you’re looking for him, you catch something out the window-

nearly all the women in your neighbourhood gathered at the end of your driveway

you come outside to investigate only to find them with their attention glued to the front of your car, it’s not till you walk around the front you find the lower half of simon sticking out from under it

on his back, knees bent, massive boots planted into the concrete, bare arm occasionally stretching out to find another tool

“you alright, si?”

you hear him grunt before he’s calling out to you

“yeah, i’m right sweet’art- sortin’ out that bit thas’ been givin’ y’grief”

breaking your gaze from his massive thighs flexing under his jeans, you scan back over the crowd that’d formed

all of them married, all of them a good ten years older than even he was- you couldn’t really blame them really, you had eyes

you could hear him shuffling out from under the car before he suddenly straightened to full height, wiping greasy hands on the front of his old-white-singlet

he pulled up the bottom of it to swipe his forehead and you think you heard someone gasp

wrapping a firm arm around you, he gives your backside a pat before he kisses the top of your head

“got t’keep y’safe, y’know?”

“thank you, baby- now be polite and say hello to your audience”

oblivious as ever to anything other than you, simon threw a look over his shoulder before he followed you back into the house

“oh, ‘ello ladies”

(someone throws a street barbecue and you force simon to talk to the other men around the burner and multiple husbands request him to start “doing that shit” in the garage with the door shut, please)

Hey Crim! Here's a couple questions for ya:

What got you into making correspondence lists for Transformers for pop culture magic/paganism?

What are five things that you are proud of yourself for getting done recently, no matter how "small"?

What's a really weird piece of lore in a piece of media you enjoy that you haven't gotten the chance to share with people yet?

If you were in charge of making a divination deck (tarot, oracle, Lenormand, whatever), what would it be like?

What is a form of divination that you want to get into, but haven't gotten the chance to do so yet?

What is a form of divination that you don't want to mess with?

In light of me spilling salsa all down my shirt and pants earlier today, what's your favorite snack food as of late?

Hey there, Jasper!

What got you into making correspondence lists for Transformers for pop culture magic/paganism?

Well, I've just really loved Optimus Prime ever since I got into the Michael Bay Transformers movies growing up. Like I love his character, his voice, his personality, and his moral compass. So I figured, much like some other heroes I worship, why not honor Optimus too? So that made me want to make hero worship posts and spells involving some of his comrades!

What are five things that you are proud of yourself for getting done recently, no matter how "small"?

1.) Honestly, surviving work up until this past Friday, since now I am on vacation until the 27th. 2.) Finishing 2, almost 3, books since the start of the month. 3.) Making the decision to restart the Naruto series from the beginning. 4.) Continuing with therapy and making the decision to restart EMDR. 5.) Allowing myself to hyperfixate on my hobbies and interests again.

What's a really weird piece of lore in a piece of media you enjoy that you haven't gotten the chance to share with people yet?

Naruto was supposed to name his son MENMA after an alternate universe version of himself that he met in the canon movie, Road To Ninja: Naruto the Movie. But the person who created the Boruto series (not originally Kishimoto, Naruto's actual creator) decided that Boruto (Bolt) was a more appropriate name? Fuck off with that shit. (Yes I know Kishimoto was overseeing the series, but he gave the creator some creative freedoms...) Boruto is fucking garbage series and I refuse to watch/read it. Ya girl Crim has a lot of opinions about this series.

If you were in charge of making a divination deck (tarot, oracle, Lenormand, whatever), what would it be like?

I am dying for a Naruto themed deck. I'll take whatever I can get, oracle or tarot, but no one is making one and I'm literally crying about it. So if I had the art skills and funds, I'd make a Naruto themed deck in a heartbeat.

What is a form of divination that you want to get into, but haven't gotten the chance to do so yet?

Spirit boards! I had a custom one made a few years back, but haven't used it yet and I really want to try it out!

What is a form of divination that you don't want to mess with?

Playing card cartomancy. I barely tolerate reading tarot, so I don't think I'd vibe with this particular form of divination.

In light of me spilling salsa all down my shirt and pants earlier today, what's your favorite snack food as of late?

Sweet varieties of cashews or almonds. The sweet/salty combo is chef's kiss.

Thanks for the ask!

Randomly thinkin about Chilchuck today, and how he tries sooooo hard to self sabotage

like for example, other half foots on the island think that he's a greedy asshole who only cares about money, and he does nothing to try to disprove that

but then there's this omake at the end of book 9 that shows that people treat half foots fucking TERRIBLY and chilchuck started a union to protect them

and then in the bicorn chapter, he doesn't want Marcille to keep digging into his personal business so he tells her he CHEATED ON HIS WIFE

but he just COMPLETELY fuckin lied about that and made himself sound so much worse than he is bc he's afraid of being vulnerable with people and would rather everyone believes he's a shitty person so he can keep them at a distance

and the thing that's memed so often is that he refuses to help with fighting most of the time because it's not part of his contract

but if you take this lore into account (not gonna add those particular images to this post simply bc I've used them in so many posts already LMAO) along with this tidbit from the world guide:

then it's like. yeah he has to keep his weight low so if he gets killed or severely injured and has to be healed, that could be really dangerous for him. and even if he was healed at that point he'd end up being a burden to the party after that point, he would be too dangerously thin/sickly to be able to help.

Like, Chilchuck has so many things about him that APPEAR to be character flaws, but every single one of them has a very reasonable explanation. He just leans into the mischaracterization bc he's emotionally withholding and can handle people thinking he's an asshole more than he can handle opening up to anyone. he's such a well thought out and interesting character
