30, 36, 9

30. What does your MC see in the Mirror of Erased? After the events of fifth year, she would see Professor Fig. He was the first to make her feel truly welcome in the wizarding world, and she will always view him as the true Hero of Hogwarts.

36. What are their feelings on the Dark Arts? Aldora has very flexible feeling on the Dark Arts. She can see their usefulness, and is wiling to do what it takes to protect herself and those she loves. But she only uses them on people who are already using them to hurt others.

9. What's their favorite spot in or around the castle? Aldora loves to spend time out on the grounds and can often be found by the lake, thinking or swimming.

Thanks for the ask!

[kasasagi-eye]

Can I ask your top 10 fav fics ever (from any fandom, if you don't mind)?

Also, just curious, is there a story behind your name "kasasagi-eye "?

Okay this one is fun so here we go! Number one is pretty much set in stone, while 2 to 9 are just in the order they come to me AND are in the fandoms I've been enagged with in recent years, because I move fandoms a lot. Let's say that if I happened to be stranded somewhere with no Internet these are the fics I would like to have with me, at this moment.

desynchronization by Ontogenesis (hikaru no go, Ogata/Sei) It has: an amnesiac displaced out of time who was formerly a ghost and lots of relationship drama. I reread this pretty much every year. One of my favorite things about this is that while it is written in english, the characters' dialogues flow AS IF THEY WERE IN JAPANESE, and I can hear they actually say these senteces. Which to me is an amazing feat.

Game of Stacks by CommaSplice (GoT, multiple ships). Such a well-thought modern AU is hard to come by.

if living can be this by Lise (MDZS, songxuexiao). My fave Yi City redemption fic. Lise is one of my all time fave authors becuase of the excellent characterizaiton and dialogue; I orignally got hooked by their Steve/Loki works in Marvel fandom, which are also amazing.

This Side of Rain by Erinye (Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, squarejohn). I love this one for making me see the benefits of unlinear narrative, and what has to be one of the most agonizingly equisite description of pining in fiction.

Unwilling Sleep by Telanu (this author also has other pseodonyms but I don't remember them off the bat (Petshop of Horrors, Leon/Count D) It has: an immortal character becoming mortal, and all it entails.

Listerworld by Kahvi, Roadstergal (Red Dwarf, LIster/Rimmer). One of the most unique plots I've read, befitting the uniqueness of the source material. Also, pining.

The Most Important Thing by NorthenSparrow (Supernatural, destiel). All of their destiel works are amazing but this one has amnesia, which is one of my favorite tropes so ^^

Wizardry By Consent by Sixthlight (Rivers of London, Peter/Nightingale). I love all of this author's works in the fandom, amazing writing.

Не в нашей власти by Ликующий Октаэдр. (SVSSS, bingjiu) This fic is a bit longer than my preferred fic length, which is up to 200k words and moreover still ongoing, but manages to keep the (extremely well crafted) story interesting. Amazing bingjiu interactions.

Дождь и Ветер by Eswet (Nirvana in Fire, Prince Yu/Mei Changsu). A great redemption fic for my favorite evil prince and some proper food to ease the hunger for my favorite rarepair (71 works on AO3 including two paltry attempts of my own T_T) Honorable mentions go to many fics by esama in Hikaru no Go and Harry Potter fandoms out of which I cannot pick a single one, bingjiu fics by xpityx, The Lotus Eaters by aldora 89 (Kirk/Spock). oh wait and also A bit of Fragnance by Silvercistern (now orphaned because the author got harassed by f***ing antis in a different fandom), which is a great arranged marriage AU for Quan Yizhen/Yin Yu (TGCF). And --- I MUST HIT SEND ALREADY BECAUSE I COULD GO ON FOR HOURS TRUST ME (Oh wait you also asked about my nickname, so just a short explanation - Kasasagi means magpie in Japanese and it is how my writing works - I steal the shiny bits of everything I see (and read) and put them together.)

Thanks for the tag (and the help) @evaslytherpuff

Aldora Stone 💛🖤

Anne-Marie is a wonderful face claim for Aldora, this picture is exactly how I picture her, pink hair and all. Aldora loves to adventure and this style of outfit is great for running around the highlands with her many potions and books. Her weapon of choice is a battle axe, one she made herself, much to her parent’s horror. Aldora is 100% a night owl, coming alive as the moon rises, so for her flower I chose a moonflower morning glory.

Daisy Stone ❤️💛

I chose this name unknown face claim for Daisy because of the blue hair, but the longer I looked the more I liked her face for Daisy. As Aldoras younger sister Daisy has had her normal teen witch life shaken by her sister’s arrival at Hogwarts and decides now is the perfect time to dye her hair like she’s always wanted. Daisy loves to keep her style casual, but always cute and colorful, with a bit of 70s vibes and an obsession for floral patterns. Her weapon of choice is a sword and she loves this one that she found at a muggle Renaissance fair. Surprising everyone who knows her, Daisy has a goth garden full of dark purple, blood red, and black flowers. The garden is her pride and joy, these blackish purple dahlias her favorite.

Since I can’t pass up an opportunity to talk about my OC…

Daisy Waters 💛🖤

I chose this face claim while struggling to describe Daisy in my fic, and aside from eye color, this girl (name unknown) is a perfect fit. Daisy has a strong love of punk/alternative fashion and would wear this outfit while performing. Since becoming a wolf animagus, Daisy prefers using her claws and teeth as her weapon when she can. No flower quite represents Daisy more than, well, Daisies. She sees herself in their quiet, simple beauty and their ability to grow almost anywhere.

No pressure tagging: @sylviaonyx @helendeath @hotcinnam0nspicy (even if you don’t have an HL mc we’re all here because we love HP so show me your HP OC)

I was tagged in this tag game AGES ago by @silvyadrakkon, @shanaraharlyah and @a-usernamelol. Thank you guys, I was glad to get to know Lyssa, Hellendil and Allan better. Sorry I'm such a slowpoke, it has been in my drafts all this time and I only got to finish it now.

So, "post a collage of your MC in real life, their fashion, their choice of weapon, and a flower that represents them".

1. Andrew Garfield? As I discovered recently. But I'm still looking for his faceclaims, so if you know someone suitable - please share. And, no, despite his hair, I don't see him in Newt Scamander

2. The word ‘fashion‘ would probably cause a short circuit in his brain. Not something he pays attention to as long as his clothes are practical. Modern AU, just because the first pic is modern, too.

3. I decided to interpret the 'choice of weapon' not literally because he used to protect himself without a wand for most of his life (before Hogwarts).

4. A cactus is technically not a flower itself, but despite its prickles and ability to survive harsh conditions, it can still bloom.

If you see it and want to participate – you're tagged! I won't tag anyone specifically because I'm too late for th – On second thought, @phinik @littlejonyy @myokk @girl-named-matty wanna join? No pressure of course

Karianne Ulrichdóttir

Age: 25+

Height: 1.74 m

Birthday: 29/Feb

Eldest child of Lord Ulrich and Lady Aldora, and primary heir to the House of the Celestial Horses. Her younger sister Famke currently lives in Belgium.

Karianne is the very definition of “extrovert”; she loves to mingle and liven up conversations with bold statements and teasing. Equestrian matters are her favorite subject, as she learned the family business of breeding and training horses from a young age.

At 19, she won her first gold in Eventing during the FEI World Equestrian Games, and went on to maintain her title for 5 more years. Karianne is stubborn, passionate, and competitive, which was the first thing Bud noticed about her. She has a great eye for fashion; frequently causing others to stop their conversation when she makes her entrance.

Karianne is fascinated with cosmo. She enjoys watching the God/Shadow Warriors train, when she usually cheers on Artica to piss off Bud. Rúri has been her best friend since childhood, and it was Karianne who introduced her to Syd.

Chazzawrites Challenge Day 3

Introduce Your Main WIP 

Bold of you to assume I have a main WIP.  I have probably three sets of characters I’ve written with for the longest time and the outlier.  

Carseir and She was who was Christian but then morphed into Sultiana but I still don’t have a name for her.  I started this story over three decades ago.  Very star-crossed lovers.  I spent Nanowrimo 2016 working on this and came to the inescapable realization that some of the major plot points I wanted to use just would not work.  Like, seriously not work.  The level of suspension of disbelief and sheer illogicalness (is that a word? Well it is now) that I was asking my readers, my characters, and myself to swallow wasn’t going to fly.  It just wasn’t.  So now, I’m not sure what I’m going to do with them.  There is a lot that I’ve done that I love and I don’t want to lose.  Some time I’ll need to find the brainspace to refigure this whole mess.  

Malia Keenblade and Jhalil Korizen.  Malia was my first PBeM character, so created nearly three decades ago.  Jhalil was my second.  They were born in Greyhawk, but have expanded out from there.  They ended up in the same PBeM because Jhalil died (hard to recover from having your arm ripped off) and my friend who was the DM let me let him die and bring Malia into the adventure.  We did resurrect Jhalil at adventure’s end.  Nanowrimo 2020 was devoted to them.  They are definitely friends to lovers and I have a scene that I love, just love, because for once I captured just how desperate Malia is to be Jhalil’s lover at the exact same moment she cannot lose him as a friend.  The WIP is maybe halfway through and has 80K+ words.  I have most of an idea of how the whole thing will go (basically Malia gets sent on a quest to save the world, Jhalil goes with her, they collect more friends along the way and figure out they’re in love with each other, and they save the world in the end despite efforts to the contrary), but there are scenes that elude me like how does Jhalil and Toliran rescue Malia from the demon-bonded magic user when they don’t have magic themselves without having Mother Solaria be the Deus Ex Machina?  I don’t know.  That scene eludes me for now.  I adore these two, though.  Their bantering is so much fun to write.  

Kyra Cortland and Jared Thompson.  I started writing them about 15-20 years ago.  I sort of have a plot for them, but really?  They don’t need a plot.  They just need each other. They are also friends to lovers and they are great for writing smut/erotica/whatever.  They’ve been friends since they were five years old or so.  Jared has the traumatic, completely efffed up childhood.  Kyra’s the one with the solid family life, older brothers, and parents one would be an idiot to cross and who clearly adore their kids and their kids’ friends and really just take in a whole mess of found family including Kyra’s other best friend, Gabriela, who was once Jared’s girlfriend.  Trust me.  It works.  

Toliran Aldoras.  I created him for a PBeM with someone I had done a previous PBeM for, but this time around, too much drama happened outside the game and then the game died.  However, I was left with this fascinating character who is turning out to be asexual and who is so mellow, it’s kind of fascinating.  I couldn’t just abandon him to obscurity.  So, since he shared Jhalil’s mentor’s name, I just threw him in with Malia and Jhalil.  He’s having a good time with them.  He’s probably the most well-adjusted of the group.  Just watch out if he actually shows anger.  That’s usually Very Very Very Bad.

I’d love to hear more about your postmaster PMD ocs! Who are they? Do they work on the Air Continent?

🥺 im so flattered you took an interest in my ocs, thank you! these guys are recent ocs of mine but i've been thinking a lot about a story for them.

 chronologically, it would take place some years (around 50-80) after the Super games. to make a long story short, Hei the amnesiac eevee and Key the ex-thief zorua are working for the Shaymin Delivery Service run by Postmaster General Aldora, who is, as you may have guessed, a shaymin. 

The pair were kind of forced to work there in order to pay off a 2000Poke debt, thanks to them accidentally destroying a package containing a gold ribbon stolen by Key (a la Ouran High School Host Club lol)... as they are mail carriers, they go to all the continents to deliver mail, but the post office headquarters is based in the Water Continent (note that this isnt the original shaymin delivery service from the explorers of sky games, that one is in the Grass Continent, and in this story, is no longer running). 

The story follows their mail-delivering antics, as well as a disturbing rise in strange and powerful pokemon outlaws...

Honestly, I might just start writing about them because I have a LOT to say still hehe.... thanks again for being interested in them! <3

[underthenightskydreamsneverdie]

1, 2, 27, 28!

1. What’s you MC’s name and house? My MC is Aldora Stone, a proud Hufflepuff.

2. Were they a hatstall or easily sorted? Aldora was very easily sorted. Even though she has some Slytherin qualities, she is a Hufflepuff at her core.

27. How does your character behave around people they like? When Aldora likes someone she is warm, open, giving, and bubbly around them. She's very curious and will ask a million questions of her friends, wanting to get to know them on a deeper level. She encourages them to chase their dreams and will always have their backs.

28. How does your character behave around people they dislike? Aldora tries to be civil and thinks everyone deserves basic kindness, until they pick on someone who can't fight back on an equal level. After that, she'll whip out her wand, and jinx them mercilessly. She loves knocking bullies down a few pegs.

Thanks for the ask, love!

Press

-- Miles Island interview from July 20, 2020 on Turtle Tempo

-- “Right As Rain” was voted #19 in KVSC-FM’s Top 88 Albums of 2019

“Right As Rain is an interesting collection of psych pop with a grungy, alternative edge. It's dreamy and fuzzy, almost in the realm of shoegaze. I can tell a lot of thoughtful hard work went into this and I think the album came together very nicely.”

-- From Divide and Conquer

“Right As Rain was a nine-year endeavor, but through persistence and a willingness to experiment, Bjorklun made his own psych-pop odyssey. Much of the sonic texture and production is indebted to the classic acid-fueled psychosis of the 1960s. The title track is a reverb-y jam; guitar and vocals ricochet around like a musical game of echo-Pong.”

-- From Ear Coffee

"2019’s Right as Rain LP is a jangling, fuzzy, alternative outpouring overflowing with boundless pop sensibility."

-- From Aldora Britain Records E-Zine - Issue 157 March 2024

Inferius. Part 1: We Need More (26th July 2017)

Astoria apparated, the hood of her long black cloak shielding her face from passers by. She moved swiftly through the now overly familiar ministry offices, stopping suddenly outside a dark, worn door. She glanced around before opening it and walking into the small damp room. Only a steel table and two chairs occupied it, no windows and a small ventilation vent. She took a seat, removing her hood and waited for him.

A swift glance at the clock told Harry that it was time for him to leave. He sat amongst thick piles of paperwork in his office with a couple of coffee cups here and there. The morning had been long and slow. He wanted answers. With a swift Accio towards his jacket, Harry Potter was soon marching his way through the bustling corridors of the ministry of magic. Within minutes he stood outside the familiar oak door. He breathed sharply through his nose once and pushed the door open.

She looked up with a bit of a start when the door opened. After 6 years the situation still didn't sit well with her. Her eyes met Harry's as he moved his way into the room. "Potter," she spoke in a soft voice but it didn't cover the disdain in her tone. "I only saw you last week. I don't know what you think I can tell you." Astoria sat back in her chair, pushing her hair behind her ear.

He almost wanted to smirk at her ill tone. "Greengrass..." he returned, bluntly. Six years of her jibes and mind games had taught Harry an awful lot about Astoria, and he wasn't in the mood for games. "Let's just cut to the snitch shall we?" He approached the table and rested his palms on the sides of the cool metal, looking her dead in the eye. "Nott."

Astoria watched him, she couldn't deny she respected him but that hadn’t fully replaced her hatred of the situations he had put her in over the years. She leant forward, her face merely centimetres from his. "I've been trying," she moved back, shifting in her seat. "He trusts me but I'm not his number one, I don't have access to the supply yet. This is going to take longer than I thought. So you're going to have to wait."

An exasperated sigh left his mouth as he stood up straight and began to pace. "I've been waiting for nearly three months, Tori." Her nickname rolled off his tongue naturally. Their relationship was a funny one...Six years of payback for her crime by dishing the dirt to him. It was a fair price to pay, but they had fallen into their habits together. "He keeps disappearing. Where is he going?"

As she watched him she shook her head gently. "I know you've been waiting a long time. I want this to be over as much as you do," Astoria was fully aware of all the things she had missed, all the bridges she had to burn and relationships she watched crumble so as to not break her cover. She was silent for a moment, before taking a deep breath. "Bulgaria. I'm pretty sure it's Bulgaria. Shaffer mentioned it in the Den last week,” The Den was Theo’s favourite spot. A pub where purebloods would often go to fuel their drug and alcohol habits. “but Nott has never let up on that sort of info. “

Harry tapped his lip as he watched her speak. She was always so calm and he always felt so tense. This whole situation was like a ticking time bomb and if he didn't act soon, the whole scheme would fail. The main source coming from Astoria meant that Harry had to trust her. Six years was indeed a long time... but not enough time to fully trust a Slytherin. "Jensen Flatcher. 17" he started, moving the chair back to sit on it. "I had a call from his mother at 5 am this morning to tell me that she found him in his room with a needle charm sticking out of him. Dead." He paused for a moment to let her mull it over. "He'd just finished his second to last year at Hogwarts. Had a fantastic mind on him... wanted to become a Herbologist. Until he met your wonderful Theodore, that is." He scraped his chair along the floor so that he could rest his arms on the table and look at her. "We can't let him get away with this Astoria, it has to end and you need to help me. Innocent lives are being stolen because of this Wizard that you call your friend!? It cannot go on. I want you back in there and I don't just want names and gossip and speculation of a place, I want a confirmed place and I want to know when he will be there next."

Astoria watched intently as he spoke. She knew his next words would not the pleasant ones. Harry only sat when he was about to tell her something serious. She froze. Her heart beating against her chest as her eyes fell from his and her head bowed. The strikingly blonde hair that had been behind her ears now curtained her face, hiding an empty expression. This was bad. Astoria knew Nott was supplying, she'd spent the last few months getting close to him. Parading around Nott and his gang of some of the most brutish men Astoria had ever seen. Nights spent boozed up and high- all to get Harry what he needed. But it hadn't been enough. Astoria ran her hand through her hair as she lifted her head up to meet his eyes. The sadness was evident on her face as she whispered, "I'm trying. Nott is charming and very clever. He isn't going to give up that sort of information easily, Potter." Her mouth had gone dry as she stared into Harry's bright eyes. Astoria had seen Jensen at the Den a few nights before. He was a kid. He was friendly and now he was dead. The reality of what she was doing was sinking in. Before he was just a dealer, a supplier but this was death and she had been right there. Close enough to touch him as Nott took his money and gave Jensen what he had paid for. "Nott is not my friend, Astoria protested, "You think I want to spend my days and nights around that scum and missing my daughter grow up?" Her voice had become clearer as the sadness turned to anger. "I will get you what you need to put him in Azkaban but this has to be the last time."

He watched her slowly. Their business like relationship had been one of convenience, one that Astoria had been... reluctant to agree to at first with her pride and fiery temper getting the better of her. The change had been remarkable. Harry raised his eyebrows when she looked up sadly with big wide eyes. If this had been all those years ago, he wouldn't have even taken a second glance to know that she was being manipulative and putting it on. He had seen her go through it all, each job and each briefing with him slowly ebbing away to who she truly was. He would probably even go as far to call her an occasional friend, somewhat. It pained him a little to see her ill-treated by others in public, to hear his own wife go on about her and her lifestyle choices, judging her down to the ground. But he could not tell a soul who Astoria Greengrass really was. He couldn't tell them that she was smart, endearing, witty and even the slightest bit empathetic sometimes. Nobody could know, as they slunk around each week and met in a room that resembled an abandoned prison cell and stank of mould. The Minister had given orders to Harry himself... "We need to use her to our advantage, the witch is a pure blood, a former Slytherin and a Greengrass! What more could we need?". That was when the first task started, infiltrating small groups that were stealing family heirlooms and ancient artefacts. And here we were, six years down the line... Harry had been promised that it would be his last job on this seedy excursion. He had important things to do in the main belly of his job, really important things, plus a wife and two young children to go home to at night, a family who knew nothing. People might think he was having an affair with Greengrass if they weren't careful. It was all becoming much and he needed to finish it. He leaned forward towards Astoria, to show her at least some comfort as she proclaimed her dislike for Nott and promised him more. "I believe you Tori" he murmured "I want this finished as much as you do." He reached up to scratch the beard he had been letting grow out for the last few months. "One last time, that's all I ask. Get in, find out where and when. I promise that's all I need"

Her heart still pounding, Astoria stood, her heavy cloak hitting the floor with a small thud. “As I said, I will get you what you need.” She began to turn away, to walk out. She was exhausted, her head still sore from the night before. Yet again she had had to take her daughter back to her fathers because Nott needed her at one of his parties. It was Astoria’s job to charm them, charm the potential clients into buying whatever Nott had for sale that particular night. It came easy to her, and once she realised that, it disgusted her. She’d already convinced everyone around her that she was an unfit mother that she had often wondered if she would have been better off in Azkaban. At least that way she wouldn’t have to see Aldora’s face when she let her down time and time again. “I need you to promise me that after this, you will make it right somehow,” She turned to look Harry in the eyes again. They both knew the irony that the only person who really knew her at this point was Harry Potter, but she needed him and though she’d never admit it, she enjoyed him. “I know this was my punishment but I need my life back. I’ve done so much for you, for this ministry. I’ve given up everything.”

Harry nodded in agreement, he didn't deny it at all, she was right. There was no doubt that the crime she had committed those years back was serious and gods had she been made to realise that. He had made sure of it... On the last day of her preliminary probation he was glad to be rid of her. He would finally be able to wipe his hands and put her under another Auror to take charge of the rest of her sentence. But unfortunately for him, Shacklebolt had other ideas. Through the years of secret jobs, he had watch her slowly come out of her shell, yet crumble at the same time. Her hard and sour shell melted away to reveal a vulnerable woman, worried for her relationship with her daughter and others. The secrecy and gritty dirty work was slowly ebbing away at her, to show who she truly was: a human, a mother. Her child needed her in it's life. Harry never had the joy of his parents sending him off to Hogwarts, cheering him on at a Quidditch game or to coming home to them at the end of the schooling year. Who was he to prevent a woman from watching their own child grow? At the beginning of this, Harry would have said that Astoria deserved to be used as the ministry's puppet. But six years is a long time... He found himself staring at a fly on the wall for a minute as he went over her words carefully, before looking up at her and doing the one thing he'd never thought he would do in Astoria's presence. He smiled. "I promise"

Astoria smiled weakly to mirror his. She was no doubt glad to be able to put this all behind her but she knew that in order to get Harry what he needed, things had to get much worse. Sometimes she had enjoyed the cases Harry had put her on; they gave her an excuse to let out the frustration and anger that had pent up over the years but this was different. Nott was different. She'd known him for years, they all had. He was charming, warm, gentle....on the surface that is. During her time with him she'd witnessed his darker side. She'd once arrived at The Den just as he was finishing one of his 'training excersises' where he would take a tramp off the street, promise them drink and warm clothes then hang them to a wall all night, letting the highest bidder have a go at casting whatever hex or curse they wanted. She needed this all to be over. "Thank you," she mouthed. She was fully aware that Harry had lost his enjoyment for putting her in situations like this, and for that she was grateful. "Give me a few days and you'll have what you need." Astoria gave him and sharpe nod, pulled her hood up over her head and walked out of the room with all the grace of the pureblood princesses she'd been brought up to be.

just a fun little character game. fill in the below categories with 3-5 things that your character can be identified by. repost & tag away ! PLEASE REPOST; DO NOT REBLOG.

EMOTIONS / FEELINGS. 01.  optimism 02.  determination 03.  tenacity 04.  enthusiasm 05.  recklessness

COLOURS. 01.   YELLOW - bright and loud and indisputably there. cannot be swept aside, overlooked or denied. yellow shouts out its presence unapologetically and sits tight in the sky, usually warming anyone who comes into contact with it. 02.   ORANGE - fiery and intense, a roaring testament to the pilot she was and the hero she is. both lena and tracer have an affinity for the colour, as it’s just an honest representation of who she’s become. coincidentally, the colour of her loving girlfriend’s hair. 03.   RED, WHITE AND BLUE - the colours of the union flag, a patch lovingly sewed onto her jacket sleeve as a reminder of what she’s returning to when a day’s work is done. she may be saving the world, but home is where the heart is. 04.   ELECTRIC BLUE - her chronal accelerator, shining at her chest diligently, keeping her anchored to this reality as a physical being. also the colour of the trails she leaves behind in her recalls; it sings of a future that could’ve been, a past that she can shape endlessly.

SCENTS. 01.  wildflowers, something as stready and beautiful as she is. 02.  motor oil, the smell of her best friend being hard at work and a new invention on the way 03.  clean, fresh air, something she as a pilot couldn’t get enough of and missed while she was in her disassociation state.

OBJECTS. 01.   thick yellow goggles, a jaunty accessory to protect eyes so full of wonder and joy. 02.   two light guns, rapid-fire and accurately aimed. when she weilds them, she means business. 03.   the glowing blue metal cylinder on her chest that allows her to touch and feel in this world and change time at her will. 04.   a photo of her and her best friend winston, back in the heyday of overwatch, kept at the bottom of a drawer in her home. 05.   a medal, given to not only her but all of her allies and friends to mark the noble work they’re doing. it’s shining diligently alongside their bedroom mirror.

BODY LANGUAGE. 01.  slightly parted lips, half ready to ask a question, half ready to laugh 02.   quick and jerky movements, ready to jum right back into the fray 03.   slightly lazy stance, hip jutted in her own confidence. she knows how to present herself as the happy-go-lucky girl everyone knows. 04.   eyes wide and wonderful, the stars themselves alight in her curious gaze 

AESTHETICS. 01.   the sight of a clear blue sky as she laughs loudly enough to shake the world 02.    going into a fight with friends by your side, knowing that any mistake can be quickly erased  03.    the feeling of not belonging where you are -- not being able to touch or feel in your current state 04.   the sound of giggles, heartfelt and real as soft lips press against her cheek 05.   a hot cup of tea clutched between her always-cold hands, steam billowing into her face
