i haven’t done any tag games in....awhile, so thanks to @murreal for tagging me <3 (and sorry to whoever it was that tagged me in a tag game months ago before i left tumblr for like a year,,,,,,,i really did mean to do it)

when was your blog created: y’know i’m really not sure? i also know i was on here for months before i reblogged a single thing so i can’t even use my archive. probably late 2015 or early 2016

last movie seen: the incredibles 2

favorite candy: i really like chocolate. toffee is also a fave, especially since it’s usually covered in chocolate. chocolate covered fresh fruits are great, if that counts as “candy”

favorite holiday: i like christmas! i like lights and candles and bells and decorating and hot chocolate and eggnog and fireplaces and dancing!! it’s fun!

put your playlist on shuffle!

(i’m not sure what this means unless its a spotify thing but i’ll just put all the music i own on shuffle asdjfzlsjfxfjlds)

1. May It Be by Enya from the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack. I just the whole lotr soundtrack on my phone i love lotr and the music is lovely

2. Changling Child by Heather Dale. asdljsldfjdfj i really like Heather Dale all her music is superrrrr pretty and i like this one esp. very soft and gentle and lovely flute

3. Girls Like Girls bye Hayley Kiyoko. it’s hayley kiyoko and im gay. thats all

4. Vienna by Billy Joel. someone else bought this for me and we don’t speak anymore but its still a good song

5. Discovery of Gravitation Music Box Version from the soundtrack for Gravity Rush 2/Gravity Daze 2. this series is my favorite video game series and the soundtrack is so so so good please play this series if you have ps4 or ps vita it’s so worth it

6. A Red Apple Fell From the Sky also from GR2! basically the lyrical version of the same song it’s wonderful and a bit more jazzy. jeez i love this series asldjdsfjsdfljfdj

7. 7 Years by Lukas Graham. i’m so happy this is #7??? perfect. idk why i own this song but looks like i do

8. Douse Shinundakara from the Gravity Rush soundtrack! the lyrical song from the first game. super fun and good. i highly recommend the lyrics video so you can understand it. i liked it a lot more once i knew the lyrics

9. Old Town from the GR soundtrack again!! The theme for the home city auldnoir (oops i’m sorry I swear i have other songs idk why all the GR popped up ajdsjdfslkjfjf) i study to this one usually! very calming and feels like home

10. Ennui by the Doubleclicks. This one is a huge mood tbh. i think i started listening to these people after my aunt bought me albums from them for christmas. they’re fun they have a lot of fun topics like dnd and p&p. mostly in it for the lyrics with them

my personal aesthetic tagged by @aurorarsinistra

tagging @sol-luna-stellae, @bluellaby, and anyone else (if they want to ofc)

[elurin]

I’ve come to the terrifying realization that my parents will believe anything I say.

[elurin]

I was tagged by @doradelacour; tysm!

Rules: tag 20 followers you’d like to get to know better

name: Aisling nickname(s): Ash (eh that’s all?)(I think?)(I mostly give others nicknames) gender: girl star sign: Scorpio height: 5′4″ (and a half!) sexual orientation: ace hogwarts house: ravenclaw favourite colour: green probably (though I love blue too) favourite animal: umm umm umm... I like wrens? time right now: 17:03 average hours of sleep: umm idk? *checks sleep tracker app i use* apparently, 4 hours and 13 minutes (but that doesn’t include weekends so) cat or dog person: cats favourite fictional character: how d a r e you. Y’know what I’ll go with Elurin bc hey it’s my url and I don’t wanna chooooooose. number of blankets i sleep with: one favourite singer/band: Heather Dale? I guess? dream trip: gosh, I dunno. I’m not fond of travel. (Maybe France?)(bc it’s different-er than the uk or something)(and my french is at least passable?) dream job: umm, idk for sure, something biotech when was this blog created: idk sometime this summer? current number of followers: 63 when did your blog reach it’s peak: ??? Not sure it had one? what made you decide to get tumblr: honestly probably I needed something to do to continue to avoid my summer homework fictional character i’d date: umm idk? I dunno. Can’t think of anyone. how many blogs do i follow: 77 what do i post about: harry potter mostly, some tolkien and occasional other stuff? (also random comments from me sorry to you all) do i get asks regularly?: nope aesthetic: White pines, clear and frosted ice, new snow. Snow on branches, the sound of ice skates, perfect circles, the swish of fabric. Varnished wood, peppermint, the subtle starlight on a new moon, mists on a lake while the water gently laps at the dock. Wafting candle smoke and curling wisps of incense, wind chimes and wood smoke, dew on the grass. Swirling whirls of fancy scripts and bare feet. Prairie grasses and drifting clouds and the soft solidness of loamy earth. (doesn’t feel like writing)(shamelessly copy pastes from the last time this came up)

So I’ll probably not tag 20 people bc imposition much? but here’s a few: @iamminniemcgonagall @sol-luna-stellae @thatshyfangirl @ophxliasflowers @aurorarsinistra @bluellaby (0% obligation @ you all ofc)

[elurin]

8/10 coughing up blood wouldn't recommend but is enough to convince my mom I'm too sick to go to school.

[elurin]

3, 23, 41, 48 (these were all v cool ok so have an overload, sry ahah)

hi yenna!! no that’s great these are fun (also i 100% asked someone else more than that so you’re def fine)

3. What kind of animal would you bring to school?

i’d bring an owl, i think! a toad just seems eh, and i’d want to send mail to my parents, which a cat is...less suited for tbh.

23. Will you subscribe to the daily prophet or the quibbler or other wizarding world media?

yeah, i would i think. probably just news stuff (the daily prophet + whatever else seems reliable)(not that the prophet rly is but y’know) i don’t think i’d subscribe to the quibbler unless i was friends with luna tbh. though i’d prob read any copies that made their way to me

41. What classes will you take for n.e.w.t.s?

the only question is how many classes am i allowed to take?

but really a lot. charms, transfiguration, ancient runes, DADA, CHARMS, arithmancy, herbology, potions, CHARMS, astronomy, alchemy if it was offered (idek but i think that was mentioned on pottermore once), CHARMS, muggle studies if i didn’t grow up muggle, and tbh prob history of magic?? and also did i mention CHARMS

i just want to do all of them and i think i actually would based on the number of advanced classes i took that i had zero (0) interest in “just in case” (i would prob pass on divination)(though i’d prob try to take it at least once to see if i had a gift somehow)(and just no COMC bc i would be Scared)

48. Will you consider becoming a professor in hogwarts after school?  

i’d consider. honestly i need to know more about the job possibilities in the magic world bc if my options are ministry grunt, magic entertainer (eg singer, quidditch, etc), auror, cursebreaker, dragon handler, shopkeeper, or healer (all i’m sure i can think of off the top of my head) you can bet i wanna be a professor

tysm yenna i really really like doing these; they’re reallllllly fun

42 & 47 for the Hogwarts asks!

hi hi anon!!

42: What will your boggart be? 

oh, that one’s hard actually. (i’m tempted to say the spector of failure or the looming future or something oops) probably the people i love turning their backs on me.

47. If you were invited to join the slug club, will you accept the invitation?

mmm yeah i would. (i can’t even say no to normal people much less the talented and successful people who could make my life horrid later on.)(also it could be useful later on)(and it’s always fun to talk to smart people)(even if most of the people were more there for fame)(there’d still be people like lily or hermione)

thanks for asking anon!! this was fun!

[elurin]

y'know staying up until midnight used to be a Big Deal™ but now i'm just kinda like yeah i stay up til three everyday

[elurin]

I'm done with this damn year. 2017 will probably be worse but… I'm holding on to the shreds of hope.

[elurin]

You know your obsession with something has gone too far when you run out of fics in languages you speak and then proceed to just run the other fics through Google Translate.

[elurin]

one - you ramble lots and it's wonderful and sweet. two - you are kind and sweet and actually such a lovely human. three - your sleeping habits are lowkey terrible.

1. Wish I could deny it. Can’t really. And thank you. (see I didn’t ramble)

2. Oh um thank you?? That’s really nice of you to say? I’m flattered tbh

3. I feel so called out rn honestly what did I ever do to deserve this from you (yes okay it’s true)(they’re awful)(just horrible)(I blame school)(but also I remember summer between seventh and eighth grade)(I slept from 5AM to 9AM and just marathon-ed through the lotr extended edition on a portable dvd player)(and then the first commentary track)(and then the next and the next...)(and once those ran out)(I marathoned the hours and hours of behind-the-scenes footage)(until that ran out)(and then I did it again)(so I guess the sleep habits are an ongoing issue oops)

[elurin]

Um ok 1: you like the hogwarts founders 2: you're seriously nice 3: you like Lotr - no I didn't realise I didn't know what your URL was in reference to initially and a bonus: ur header is still Christmassy :D

1. True as anything. 2. Thank you, you’re seriously nice! 3. Yes absolutely (and dw I don’t really expect people who aren’t fairly deep into that fandom to get it)(and yes yes it is)(I specifically chose a wintry one so I could try to get away with it until the snow melts)(so that means it’ll probably stay that way until April or May)(bc I like it and also I’m lazy)(but really thank you)

[elurin]

No shirts do I wear more often than the two shirts I hate that I have left when I'm out of clothes and don't want to do the laundry.

[elurin]

Honestly I'm terrified 2017 will manage to outclass 2016 for sheer awfulness

[elurin]

Okay guys I don’t have 10 friends much less 10 I don’t know have already been tagged so I’ll tag a few friends and some mutuals/people I’ve talked to? Prob still not 10? @glorfy-the-bright-haired-ellon @sol-luna-stellae @fandomsmakeheartsbreak @aurorarsinistra + anyone else

(I think that’s like everyone I’ve talked to at all on this site off-anon who hasn’t 100% for sure done it (tho I’m too lazy to check) and I don’t want to tag completely out of the blue so yeah)

[elurin]

I feel bad for my poor younger brothers. My mom just gave them the music today for the song they need to memorize for their recital—also today. Which she was given weeks ago, apparently.
