I never thought about the multiple variations of when Dorothy was married as Sophia trying to publicly protect her but wow. I do wonder how much Dorothy understands Sophia is protecting her, because there's definitely Complicated Feelings between them and it seems like maybe Dorothy sees Sophia's disappointment/anger first (do they ever mention how Sal felt? I remember Dorothy saying she always thought he wasn't proud of her or something but idk if it was related to her pregnancy ... also gotta wonder how it effected her relationship with Gloria and Phil)
Hii anon! If you'd like a more in-depth take on Sophia protecting Dorothy through the inconsistency of her stories I highly(!!) recommend the lovely @the-eclectic-wonderer 's post on Dorothy's age when she married Stan (I haven't looked the same at Sophia since!)
I've got a lot of things to say about this, so I'm putting my thoughts under the cut to avoid clogging people's dashes haha
I personally think Dorothy doesn't really know the extent of how much Sophia cares for/protects her in those moments (& those moments specifically, because I feel like she's otherwise pretty attuned to the way Sophia shows affection? They've got pretty similar problems around opening up with other people and several of their scenes together show that they've sort of found a way around this!) But their general relationship aside, it's pretty clear in several instances that Dorothy is hurt by Sophia's remarks on her marriage with Stan, her pregnancy, etc — so I can't help but think she's not too aware of what Sophia is doing, trying to help and protect her? Especially when, in a lot of cases, she could've just said nothing and avoided hurting Dorothy entirely; there's usually a less hurtful path involved, but Sophia purposely chooses to make her remarks. Whether or not they're constructed to protect Dorothy in one way or another, she still makes the choice to hurt her too (although, knowing Sophia, I doubt she's fully aware of the effects her words have? Idk, that's some food for thought!)
It seems like this isn't a topic either of them has ever been too willing to discuss, let alone openly and emotionally. Sophia tends to deal with things with jokes and nasty comments, and Dorothy seems to shut everyone out entirely. I'm not sure where I'm going with this exactly haha, but what I'm trying to say is their coping methods are too far apart (and too similar) for the opportunity for any real, constructive conversation about this to have occurred? So maybe Sophia is reaching out to Dorothy in her way (the only way she knows how to) and Dorothy... Well, I think she mentioned it genuinely hurts her at some point (though I'm not sure if that was in response to a Stan-related comment or something else) which I think means we can conclude she doesn't see the deeper layer behind Sophia's behaviour — or maybe she does, but it doesn't take away the hurt?
As for Sal: I believe Dorothy mentioned something about his reaction in S5, E13: Mary Had A Little Lamb. I don't remember her speech in its entirety, but she mentioned something about "Only having one parent [Sophia]" for a while, so I think Sal took it a lot less well than Sophia.
Good point about Gloria and Phil too!! I genuinely have no clue. We do know Dorothy's a lot older than both of them (I think she was 7 when Phil was born, and if I remember correctly, it's implied that he was the middle sibling?) so if Dorothy was 17 when she got pregnant and married Stan, it means Phil and Gloria were 10 and under. She was, by all accounts, An Adult to them already — so it might not have damaged their relationship, so much as changed their perception of her? I'm sure they could've been a lot closer if Dorothy had been allowed to stay at home and be a child for longer than she was. As it is, I can't help but wonder if they ever saw her as their peer or more like an older relative?
#thank you so much for the ask anon!!#and for the opportunity to ramble haha#i didn't even *know* i had a lot of thoughts on this but i guess i do shdjdj#the golden girls#dorothy zbornak#sophia petrillo

Hello, if I may ask, do you have any headcanons about enjolras and courfeyrac in the umw universe?
Hello!! I'm about to become an unskippable cutscene 😃
I can't quite remember if any of this has already been mentioned in Enjolras POV chapters but I'll just list everything I've got lol:
- They met when they were seven years old. I've never thought all that much about their parents since they don't feature in the story (though it's safe to assume that Enjolras was already fairly estranged from his parents by the time he became a hunter) but I've always had it in my head that they were initially shoved together because their parents were part of the same social circle and did that thing where they decided their kids should also be friends. I think this happened a lot to both of them as kids and generally didn't work out, especially for Enjolras, who was a shy, serious sort of child and often considered either intimidating or just plain weird by his peers, but on this one occasion it turned out well! Courfeyrac immediately considered Enjolras to be extremely smart and cool, and while Enjolras (unused to positive feedback) was a little unsure of this at first, he quickly realised that Courfeyrac was genuine and they've been best friends ever since.
- They are a classic case of an extrovert adopting an introvert.
- Enjolras has always struggled with making friends—Courfeyrac was really his only close friend through their earlier years at school, but Courfeyrac is very outgoing and gregarious and has a lot of love to give and so he always had a lot of friends, and there were definitely times when Enjolras felt sort of jealous of that, and worried that Courfeyrac would lose interest in him in favour of others. It never happened, of course.
- They met and befriended Joly and Bossuet in their first year at high school, and Marius in their first year of university.
- Their friendship has always confused onlookers since they seem so different, but they actually do have quite a lot in common, and the ways that they are different work to their advantage: Courfeyrac sometimes does need someone to be the voice of reason and responsibility, Enjolras sometimes needs someone to tell him to lighten up.
- Courfeyrac has always been the more emotionally intelligent of the two, but he used to joke that this was the only area in which he was more intelligent than Enjolras because for a long time he didn't consider himself particularly academically smart and would be quite self-deprecating about it. Enjolras never agreed with this assessment and Courfeyrac eventually grew out of the notion, which mainly stemmed from how the adults in their lives perceived him and his more boisterous personality.
- Courfeyrac is bisexual and figured that out pretty quickly as a young teenager. He had a lot of crushes throughout high school and dated quite a few people and Enjolras was woefully unequipped to deal with the emotional turmoil of these teen relationships but did his best to be supportive. For a while they both thought that Enjolras just hadn't reached “the stage” of being interested in dating etc yet, but after a while they realised that this supposed transformation didn't seem to be forthcoming and decided to do some research, leading to Enjolras happily using the aro/ace label for a few years. He was extremely alarmed when he later did develop an interest in a fellow student at university, leading to further research and an understanding that catching feelings is something that happens to him very occasionally. When he least expects it, you might say 👀
- Truly there's a whole slice of life teen drama here that I could get into if I wasn't too busy writing the monster-hunting plot 😂
- Enjolras really struggled with his decision to leave Lyon to pursue hunting without telling Courfeyrac, to the point that I have often daydreamed of an AU where everything is exactly the same except Enjolras ultimately couldn't go through with it and Courfeyrac ends up going with him.
- The characters have developed a lot in the ridiculous amount of time UMW has been ongoing, and I think if I was writing the earlier chapters now, knowing what I know, that Enjolras would have tried to explain to Courfeyrac where he was going, or told some lie to reassure him, or done something other than just vanishing and assuming Courfeyrac would get over it. I don't think him taking off the way he did in the story makes the most sense now, with how much weight their friendship has been given. But I'm locked into it by me from 10 years ago 😂

Hi! I am coming at you about the "hozier album //Jason Todd" repost you made, in which you stated that you would take no criticism and, should someone come at you, you would rant line by line about it
I don't particularly disagree with you, but as a hozier and jason todd fan I need to hear more about this!!!!
Ohhh ho ho ho ok I have been SAVING this ask as a little treat because I was so excited when it came in but I've realised if I keep saving it I won't answer it! So! Here we go.
I'm gonna use the first songs from his newest and oldest albums for this (originals not special editions)- only doing a few lines from each or this post will go on forever- but if you send me a specific track, I will do an analysis of linking it back to Jason! There are very very few songs that I cannot do this with.
First up- Take Me To Church! Arguably Hozier's most famous song.
It starts off with these lines:
I think of this one mainly in regards to Robin Jason. Jason was originally a very bubbly, happy character- before he was originally killed off. In future Robin-Jason comics, whilst still maintaining that very Robin sense of humour, he's more volatile and seems to make light of situations he shouldn't- lining up with this first verse. The following "Knows everybody's disapproval" aligns with every comic of Jason since being written with the knowledge that he was disliked as Robin, with several going so far as to have the public in-universe dislike him, too; and with the follow-up of the regret felt when Jason had actually been killed. A lot of voters had expressed being shocked because they didn't believe he would actually be killed off based on the results of the infamous poll, and many in the present who feel Jason was treated unfairly: hence, "They should've worshipped (him) sooner".
I especially enjoy these lines in reference to Jason:
"No masters or kings when the ritual begins" When Jason comes back to life, there is nobody there for him- no welcoming arms of his father, and no condemning hands of his enemies. He is entirely alone; not directly aided in his resurrection by anyone, left to crawl out of his grave on his own.
"There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin" Jason was entirely oblivious to the fact that becoming Robin was viewed as a "sin" not just by the viewers, who disliked him for replacing Dick Grayson (as he was, originally, written as a Dick clone, pretty much) but also by Dick, who resented Bruce for passing on the mantle without checking with Dick first, and thus resenting Jason in turn for unwittingly stealing it from him: but Jason was oblivious, and sweet, and claimed it gave him magic. He wanted to help people and do good; and these actions led to his death. Another play on it is that the innocent and childish need to meet his mother *also* led to his death.
"In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene" I enjoy paralleling between his death and resurrection here. Once again pulling back to the warehouse for the madness part- I personally imagine choppy cuts between the Joker swinging a crowbar to Jason's fingers digging out of the grave. On a different scenario, the line "Only then, I am human" I enjoy the idea of having Jason fighting to swim out of the Pits, lashing out immediately at whomever was closest, to push the bitter irony that without the murderous Mountain Dew he would've still been catatonic and living on the streets. Then it would be juxtaposed with perhaps the dozen-heads-duffel-bag for the following, "only then I am clean", to reference how he feels he is "cleaning up" the streets and making Gotham safer.
Next up is De Selby Part 1- We're starting in the coffin with these opening lines, babey!
This song makes me distraught over how Jason it is to me. I especially in this regard feel the verse, "That God at the start couldn't bear" is very fitting, as Jason was dead for months before coming back to life, as if God was reluctant to allow him to return to the suffering He knew Jason would thus be subject to.
Jason was catatonic for two years before being dunked in the Pit- but I think this line, too, speaks to the innate horror of having died a 15-year-old, and gained your consciousness at 18. He went through the brunt of puberty completely unaware; I have to believe he didn't recognise his reflection as his own, at first- I even imagine he may have seen Willis, instead, and if that isn't a true horror in itself? You no longer recognise yourself as you, but the face in the mirror is still familiar as the one of your abuser. Yikes. Still, for these lyrics specifically, I think the first applies better: Not recognising himself post-Lazarus, feeling disconnected from his body.
For this song I also want to note these lines:
These lines specifically give me CHILLS for Jason. Going from Robin, who is the light to Batman's darkness, to the Red Hood- shadows and resentment and pain. And the way he "transformed" -a la murder Mountain Dew- on top of the fact that as someone brought back from the dead, he is technically an unwilling subject of necromancy- very much hammers the "Is claochlú an ealaín/Is ealaín dubh í" home. Yeah.
Thank you so much for this ask! I love being able to talk about songs I associate with Jason- ESPECIALLY Hozier ones.
#askbox answered#glitter-stained#thanks for this again!!!#you gave me the opportunity to yap and i heavily limited myself so as not to make an essay#these aren't even my top Hozier picks for Jason haha but i thi k that prives my point!#hozier#jason todd#gbirrds ramblings#before anyone starts yelling yes i KNOW the original songs aren't about this i KNOW TMTC is about gay men dont @ me#let me be silly and autistic about this one man in particular

I’m so obsessed with the way you draw nrmt ;-; You draw them like actual men… it’s a huge problem among aa fans where one of the two of them (usually edgeworth) gets written or drawn as a tiny long-eyelashed hairless submissive twink and it’s like. They’re Grown Men. And no one will ever be able to convince me that edgeworth would let his guard down/let go of his control-freakiness enough for some of the shit he’s portrayed as doing lmfao 🫣 I’m certain a big part of it is that you’re gay and You Get It lmao.. I’ve sent you way too many asks in the past few days and i’m sorry if it’s weird but idk you’re my fav ace attorney artist and i appreciate you sm
Alrighty, finally free enough to tackle this anon. So, before I say anything, I want to preface this with my belief that there’s no right or wrong interpretation of a character in fandom—I love to see the immense variety of ways that characters are depicted, and I think it’s fascinating to get to see through the lens that people view them. What I will be talking about in this ask though, is my (and clearly anon’s) personal preference. I just wanted to get that out of the way, because I would be very unhappy if people read this and thought that I judge any interpretation of the characters I spend much of my time talking about on the hellsite.
With that out of the way, I do agree with you anon. I’ve hesitated to answer asks like this in the past (you’re not the first to say this), but you have put it in a way that I think fits how I feel about them. I am a gay man—I love men in any shape or form they come in, but I truly adore masculinity. Hairy belly and ass, boxy builds, square jaws and hands, receding hairlines, deep voice, the works. This is not to say that these characteristics cannot also be feminine, but I am approaching this in the context of speaking about male characters, and the things I enjoy from them—but make no mistake, I love effeminate men just as much, especially in the variety of ways that they can manifest.
Which is a good lead in to something I have always loved about Edgeworth, from the first time I played these games nearly twenty years ago: Edgeworth has always struck me as inherently traditionally masculine, even in spite (or perhaps because) of his more flamboyant tastes, such as wearing a bold pink suit, jabot, preference for frilly things and flowers, etc. He’s not what any boomer would call a man’s man, but I feel like a lot of fandom overlooks that he’s barrel chested, deep voiced, stoically cold, and prone to masking or outright shutting down his emotions. As a gay man these traits really resonate with me—I embody many of the same things, while also having a certain air of “fruitiness”, if you will.
I’m in my mid-thirties, and while I believe it’s never too late to have heroes or feelgood characters, it’s a little unusual for me to have a character that makes me feel “seen”, at least in the way he does. Being a trans man specifically, I’ve spent much of my life grappling with the inherent masculinity and femininity I was born with, so it’s always been a comfort to me (even if I didn’t quite realize it when I was younger) to see a man that sacrificed absolutely none of his masculinity while wearing frills and a bright pink suit. So I love depictions of him (and Phoenix, because I think he’s viewed not dissimilarly in this fandom) that lean away from the typical shiny smoothness of most anime, and more into making them standard 30-something males. As I said in the first paragraph of this, it's all personal preference, there’s no right or wrong way to vibe with these characters, but I appreciate you anon, because I do think that we’re in a very small minority in this fandom, and while that’s not a bad thing by any means, it’s nice to see a kindred spirit <3
#I could touch on my thoughts on Edgeworth's control freak nature and how that relates to a lot of the kink art I draw of him#but it's meadering a little off my main point here and something I'd prefer to tackle separately if I ever get around to it#rest assured I've thought about it a LOT though haha#also this is somewhat off topic but since I'm rambling about personal preference#I also like to depict Edgeworth as being just a smidge shorter than Phoenix#their canon heights are 5'10 and 5'9 respectively but damn it#Edgeworth has looks fame and wealth#bumping Phoenix up to an even 6' is FAIR#sorry Edgeworth Phoenix should have at least one thing over you#and it should be height#also anon#you do not bother me at all#the asks you've sent have sincerely made my day every time I've received them#thank you so much for allowing me this opportunity to ramble

hi! do you have any recommendations for skin nourishment? saw the patrick bateman room on your twt❤️
hi nonnie well first of all thank you for describing my very normal room like That and secondly yes absolutely!! the harsh uk weather is my nemesis so i curated my routine to be as nourishing as possible. disclaimer that you definitely don’t need all of these products; i just happen to have super sensitive skin that is prone to dry patches and i also kind of love having a specific routine it’s very therapeutic #patrickbatemancorefr... so without further ado here are my recs 💌
1. clinique take the day off cleansing balm
i haven’t touched makeup wipes in about 7 years because they tended to irritate my skin especially around my eyes so i swapped to this cleansing balm and it’s amazing at removing even the most stubborn makeup efficiently without feeling harsh at all 💆♀️
2. ren skincare evercalm gentle cleansing milk
i used to think cleansers were supposed to make your face feel “squeaky clean” until i realised that just meant my skin was being stripped of its natural oils 😭 this is by far the most gentle cleanser i’ve found and i’ve tried a TON none of which can compare like this is srsly such a uniquely soothing product
3. origins drink up intensive overnight hydrating mask
this mask is my absolute fave 🌟 it’s marketed as an overnight mask so sometimes i’ll use it in place of my moisturiser but more often than not i just leave it on for a few hours while i study and it leaves my skin feeling so nice and rejuvenated yippee
4. hada labo gokujyun premium hyaluronic acid lotion
ok this is called a ‘lotion’ but it technically functions as a serum imo and it’s truly my ride or die product i can’t even tell you how many bottles i’ve gone through. it’s comprised of 7 kinds of hyaluronic acid so it is ultra-ultra-moisturising and it makes my skin feel so bouncy and hydrated yass 💧
5. kiehl’s creamy eye treatment with avocado
this is the only eye treatment i think actually made a significant difference out of all the ones i’ve used. it’s so creamy you just need the tiniest amount and it melts so nicely into my skin 🙌 i suffer from super dry undereyes and eyelids and this honest to god saved my life #kiehlsstan4eva
6. caudalie vineactive overnight detox oil
okay firstly i’m obsessed with how this face oil smells it’s like being transported to a spa but more importantly i love how it absorbs into my skin without feeling greasy in the slightest <- i didn’t even know that was possible with an oil. tbh idgaf about the anti-aging claims but this noticeably makes my skin feel sooo soft when i wake up in the morning so i highly recommend!
7. la roche-posay cicaplast baume b5
this is not marketed specifically as a moisturiser but i use it as one LOL. this is my ultimate holy grail i cannot emphasise enough how it totally transformed my skin esp. in the winter months it is so freaking nourishing and i will repurchase it forever and ever 🫶
and that wraps up my list!! honorary mentions go to the kiehl’s ultra facial cream which was my fav moisturiser before i discovered cicaplast and basically anything from the innisfree green tea range 🍵
#this is probably way more in depth than u cared about HAHA i'm sorry im just a skincare fanatic and i loved the opportunity to ramble :^)#i hope this helps nonnie <3#i went thru a LOT of trial and error with skincare when i moved to the uk so i can firmly vouch for all of these as 10/10s#hari influencer era#<- the resurgence of this tag... slayage

was there any consensus about mercury magic?
-- wizorb 🔮
Well, most agree that it's the state of matter, not the elemental composition that actually denotes the category of magic. Therefore, mercury magic would be classed as aquemancy at room temperature, but that would change depending on if it was cold enough to solidify. Some scholars continue to (very heatedly) argue that its more metallic properties (like high conductivity) still class it as metallomancy, but for the average Joe Shmoe, what matters is that it's liquid.
If you wanna get into some more of the technical details of it...
In this setting, magic is performed by taking ambient mana and causing it to take on an "alignment." "Alignment," in this case, referring to some physical object or phenomenon in your environment. Additionally, ambient mana is everywhere, all the time, flowing through everything.
So, if you're sitting in a room with a glass of water, the mana passing through the water at that moment is water-aligned, and if you can reach out to that mana and use it to move the water, that makes you an aquemancer.
Theoretically, you could be a "mancer" of anything. In the first place, this category system (used by the magicians of the Central Basin) is actually kind of outdated! It takes a retroactive approaching to categorizing magic—looking at what people can do then trying to create categories around that.
If you want better idea of what people can potentially do with magic, you'll want to look at the system used by the peoples of the Black Ridge. They use a system more akin to those political alignment charts, where you plot two axes and then see where whatever you're measuring falls.
The most basic of these charts has an axis for "cold/solid" <- -> "hot/liquid", and one for "pure element" <- -> "complex compound," so mercury would fall squarely on the far end of "pure element" + "liquid."
There, problem solved!
Of course, these charts can get a lot more complex, and some people even take the time to assign numerical values to each axis and try and calculate out where exactly any given kind of mancy falls.
The benefit is that when looking at it as a field of possibility, rather than just observed reality, you can spot potential in places people simply haven't tried before. What would "hot" + "complex compound" magic look like? Lava, perhaps? The possibilities are limitless!
There have been sporadic attempts to bring the system over to the Central Basin magicians' guilds, but due to a mix of stubborn tradition, pre-existing structures built around the old system, and a lack of translations into Plains Tongue, it has yet to see widespread adoption. The farmhand who picked up a bit of water magic to help with cleaning the stables doesn't care if water is technically the "warm" form of ice, it's all just aque.
#oc tag#oc lore#gershwe's project#fict got an ask#also omg baby's first ask?? thanks haha#i will take ANY and all opportunity to ramble about this story

RANT ABOUT THAT THERE OC YOU HAVE AQUIRED!!! :D I invite thee to gremlin in my direction!
WELL info on THAT oc is- [CONFIDENTIAL]
BUT I CAN RAMBLE ABOUT ANOTHER OC I HAVE! He is... a tad similar in concept to the oc I was talking about :3
SO! This guy has been with me for.. many a year atp, went through a lot of redesigns and his story has been rewritten more times than I can count jcjf he's never seen the light of day til now so- yea haha
Say hi to Chroma!
How evident is it that I redesigned him during covid?
Chroma is a Sans from my undertale au, ChainTale! Or... well one of them. He is Chain!Sans 1.0 Something effed up in his au and it got deleted with Chroma surviving only because of his funky magical structure, basically weird chain!monster anatomy and magic n stuff nfncn
Chroma's code isn't compatible with any universe anymore, not ever ChainTale 2.0, so he just sorta glitches from place to place with no choice of where or when or for how long.
There are tells of when another glitch out is getting close. The longer Chroma stays in a certain au, the glitchier he gets.
The first few times he got glitched out (doodle of that cuz it's funny)
He attempted to figure out why everything's so different around him. He even tried to get to know a few people. That however- those friendships never lasted him long as he always ended up being ripped away from the friends he'd made.
Over time he stopped trying to connect with people, as it did him nothing but make him feel even more miserable. He chose to hide his face to avoid being recognized as a Sans, cuz- obviously an au would have its own version of the guy (Or not, in which case it would be sus to see a random unknown or dead person)
ChainTale Sanses are also rather tall for a Sans. Standing at 5'7
Chroma can summon and hide his 'chains' at will.
Chroma's bones have gained a gray hue sort of coloring on his fingers and hands. Marking him as a glitch in the system (if the glitches and binary chains weren't telling enough)
I had some notes on his particular brand of chain magic but I don't remember what it was haha. All I know is that it's different from Chain's (ChainTale 2.0 Sans)
SPEAKING OF CHAIN! Might as well shove this on here (have a ref for him as well.. maybe I thought it was finished but what I found I have saved is just a wip)
Lil tartar loving guy
He also doesn't wear shoes. Yes he still lives in Snowdin, yes there's still snow in Snowdin. Yes the wet trail he leaves behind drives Rust (ChainTale Papyrus) up a wall.

tagged by @jiminsproof and @hopeonthestreets to post my top 5 bangtan songs (double attack on this fine saturday)
thank you both for tagging me, i take this as a wonderful excuse to ramble about my favorite songs and also to cry over having to narrow them down to just five<3
in no particular order:
spring day
all rise for our national anthem. this song means so much to me and easily one of the top songs i go to on a bad day. the themes, emotions, the meaning, it’s all very near and dear to my heart. who knows, maybe i’m just always a sucker for seasonal metaphors in media.
euphoria
fun fact euphoria was my most played song this year according to spotify wrapped. as someone who found bts early this year, this song really scratched my brain in all the good spots, and it still does. the song sounds beautiful and of course jungkook’s vocals are euphoria to the ears (i am promptly boo’d off stage). there’s so much love in the song and it just makes me feel so good. my best friend describes the song as “a perfect song to walk home to” and i think that properly sums up my feelings as well.
film out
this song does things to my brain that i cannot explain. jimin’s verse truly makes me feel like running around my room and doing parkour off my walls, that is the only way i can explain it. THE EMOTION, THE MELODY, THE DRAMA, THE VOCALS. i love every single one of their japanese songs, in fact i have like 5 of them on my favorites playlist, but this one truly makes me feel insane in the best way [:
on
on was maybe one of the first songs that i happened across while i was getting into bts that blew me away so far that i never came back. there was a list of songs i recommended to watch every possible content of to my friends in my infamous slideshow i presented to them to get into bts with me, and on was at the top of that list every time. (other honorable mentions from that list were black swan, dionysus, and idol) the choreography is INSANE and still makes me insane, the themes and messages, and knowing what mots7 meant for the tannies now... it all hit so hard and it still does
arson
on the topic of songs that make me go insane, this one definitely does still too. i remember the night arson dropped, i was up dancing and running around my room for like an hour. same thing with hobipalooza too! it’s such a tasty song, the burn of passion, the want to keep burning hotter and hotter, the quiet question of “should i slow down or keep blazing on?” and the acknowledgement that you are the only one who can make that decision OOOH it’s spicy
honorable mentions goes to the songs that i couldn’t stop crying over for weeks: yet to come and the astronaut, as well as the song i currently cannot stop crying over: wild flower!
more honorable mentions from my extensive bts favorites playlist are: black swan, lights, outro: ego, trivia: love, 134340, serendipity, run bts, as well as newly added change pt.2 and still life! and so so so many others
and now i give this impossible task (should you want to!) to salma @seoksao and wish you the best of luck if you do<3
#i broke the rules slightly and didn't choose my actual top five because if i had i think we'd be here all day#but these are 5 random favorites from my favorites playlists haha#i'm so sad i ran out of space to ramble about 134340... i went on an extensive ramble about it to my best friend a few months ago though#my whole schtick is actually going on long rambles to my best friend intermittently about bts songs#most recent one was trivia love and namjoon's wordplay in it#so this was right up my alley haha#thank you again for tagging me lovely i will always take an opportunity to ramble about my favorite songs#natalia 🌙#keywrite

Teacher: If you don't get anything in to your boss on time, guess what? You'll be fired!
Me: Crazy. Guess who's staying unemployed for the rest of her adulthood?
#sam's talky talks#Haha. I hate it here#Actually. Recently I've been thinking about adulthood as well. But more of just...am I gonna be stable enough–#–to provide for myself? What if my job is shitty? What if I stayed unemployed for the rest of my life?#What the fuck am I going to do?#I mean. Shit. That's scary. And I'm so bad at communicating with people because I get anxious and shy#I suck at getting shit done so throw some job opportunities out the window. I'm so bad at writing stories I can't cut it as a writer#I...my mom was right. I'm never going to succeed in life. I'm just too busy stuck in my little world#I'll never be able to help anyone. I'll never be the amazing daughter she always wanted. I'm gonna be like those 30 years olds–#–who still live in their mother's basements haha...#I bet by that time I'm 20 my mom is gonna be sick of me. She'll probably want to throw me out by then because I'm such a disappointment#It's always what I've been anyways ya know?#Shit. I'm probably never going to finish high school. Never go to college. I can see myself being a drop out more than anything#Disappointing huh? It's all I've known. I'm surprised my parents haven't caught that yet#My dad and step-mom have so much hope and expectations for me I can't breathe#<- I mean. They don't want me to be an A+ student. But they really seem to want me to do amazing#You know. My dad jokes about how I should be getting A's. That B's and C's aren't good enough. And that kinda hurts#That hurts a lot. Because I've never been a good student. Just average#I'm venting and rambling in tags. Haha#Ignore me please. This is nonsensical that this point
