What were you like when you were 19?

Hi anon I hope you know that this ask has sent me down an existential crisis because it's been almost 5 years, and no I hadn't realized, and I am struggling to write an answer. I have wrote and deleated stuff a couple of times cause I am not sure how to word things. 19 year old me was going through a lot. Let's say that was a time of change, both positive and negative. (as if that isn't the case with most things in life). It's certainly marked me quite strongly. At I had finished with high school, which felt like a liberation. I celebrated going through an incledibly holiday aroud Europe with three friends of mine. That holiday really did something to me. I remember having terrible panic attacks before leaving because I was so scared and felt overwhelmed, but I faced it and I went. It was an emotional rollacoaster, but by the end I had so much fun. That journey is to this day one of the biggest personal victories of my life, I don't know how I did it but I did it (which is ironicly enough a good description of that whole year, and most of my life actually). At 19 I also started going to uni, which was a much needed academic change. I didn't have the best of time in high school, and I starting my uni journey brought me a new joy and enthousiasm for studying and learning. It was also quite complicated to figure out out uni worked, and how I had to study (it took me a lot of time to find a proper study method for uni let me tell you). What really marked that year is the fact that a very close friendship degenerated into an incredibly toxic relationship that then thankfully found its end, not in the best way, but it did end. I don't want to go into details for obvious personal reasons, but let's just say that things went bad and worst in waves. I got to a point where I would wake up feeling panicky and had anxiety turning on my phone in the mornings. I felt like I was emotioally responsable for this person which made me hesitate ending things, I was stuck in a limbo that really fucked me up. Things ended not in the best way, but they did, and althought my anxiety revolving that took months to die out I felt like I was reborn. Sadly this friendship ended with me losing other friends as well, but if I didn't burn that bridge I don't really know what would have been of me. This event marked not only that year but me as well, it clearly effected me a lot, and as I said it marked a final change in my life. In a way I feel like I am again in a new fase of change at the moment although differently. So 19 year old me was a little stuck and a little lost at best. As I said complicated times. But I am proud of 19 year old me becuase they still prove to me that I can get back up, even after bad falls that hurt more than just a bit.

Overall when I think about this stuff I can't comprehend how some people when thinking about past versions of themselves feel cringe and embarassment. I was and still am a very embarassing creature, believe in me, but the more years pass and the more I look back at old versions of me and see how much of a badass they were. I don't feel cringe about my teenege self, when I was in middle or high school. When I look back at them I feel pride, if they went through all they went through, and still got back up again, it means I can do it again now. That gives me some hope in myself.

Okay this degenerated in a longer reflection that I intended, I am not sure you were hoping for such a answer. As I said those were complicated times, and they were made of a lot of changes that brought with them a lot of negative and positive feelings. I am, as I said, very curious on why you asked for 19 yo specifically (sooo, you know send me another ask to tell me). I will now go pondering on how time is fake and it can't have been that long ago. I hope you'll have a good day.

Now Playing: CastleVania: The New Generation

So it is that time of the year where we have to kill Dracula again… Fine but this time we'll do an Interrail.

[elbiotipo]

Another interesting thing is that we often think of pre-columbian Americas as isolated societies, but not only there’s growing evidence of trade across the Americas, but also societies were aware of the empires and civilizations aroud them: they didn’t live in enclosed bubbles. Natives from the Amazon, the Greater Chaco and Patagonia knew of the Incas and told the Spanish very accurately about them. Likewise, North American natives were probably aware of the cities in Mesoamerica and traded with them. It is very likely that myths like the Gran Patití, the Seven Cities of Gold (or Cibola), El Dorado, and many others, have part of their origin on natives describing to the Spanish the Inca and Aztec civilizations they already knew, and the Spanish mistaking them for more GOLDEN CITIES to conquer.

(I just read América Mágica by Jorge Magasih and Jean-Marc de Beer that proposes just that given the evidence in Spanish chronicles, but there certainly are other sources, as well as growing ethnobotanical evidence of trade and contact.)

We have no proof, but it’s not far-fetched to think that the Andean and Mesoamerican civilizations had very limited contact. What would have they had thought of each other¿ The Europeans believed India and China to be lands of mysterious golden kingdoms populated by magical monsters, while for the Chinese Europe was a far-away land of barbarians and cold, of little concern to them. What would have the Incas thought about the Aztecs¿

Of course, I’m just idly speculating. There is no real proof that both civilizations had any contact between them. And yet, who knows.

Vlad chuckled at the other's enthusiasm and happiness. When he clung to his arm, he didn't even flinch. He merely smiled and enjoyed the physical affection he missed from family. "Oh don't worry, I will! Though I don't think your brother likes me....eh, it might just be me who knows." He shrugged lightly, trying his best not to move Feliciano's arms too much.

He watched as people filtered out of the room lazily, and at the moment of food his stomach growled. "Food does sound really good right now! I wonder if there are any good places nearby." For a moment, the Romanian was confused. Then, in realization, he smiled and winked at his relative. Right, he still thinks I'm a vampire, almost forgot. "Right, the sun. It's more of a slow burn than a sudden combustion. If I had an umbrella, I'll be perfectly fine."

@coltii-romanesti

Vlad returned his bright smile, a little more naturally now. “Of course~!” He chuckled at his mimicking of burning and sizzling, knowing very well that he won’t burn. Sunburn maybe, but from garlic, nah. He practically lived off the stuff. “It has been a while,” he smile shrank, but it was still there. “All the usual things of life; living! I haven’t gotten a chance to run by for a bowl of noodles because of all the backlog of things I need to fill out for the EU.” He sighed, remembering all his paperwork. “Plus the quickest route here is through Hungary…..and I don’t ever like to risk running into her…” His eyes narrowed for a moment in memory of the Hungarian female he despised before brightening again. “Oh no it’s ok, Feli! You get busy, it happens! Though I’m glad we get to spent some family time this time!”

He chuckled nervously at the mention of Hungary. Right. They didn’t like each other very much… and that was an understatement. Though, Feliciano visibly relaxed when the conversation quickly steered elsewhere. Good. He wasn’t all that comfortable with angry people. Feliciano clung to Vlad’s arm and smiled at him; he was always seeking out physical affection. “Well, next time we’re in Italy, you have to come over then!” They were currently in the meeting room in Brussels for the World Meeting, hosted by Belgium this time. All of the other nations had slowly trickled out until there were just a few catching up with each other whether it was official work or personal affairs. 

“For now we should go to a nice cafe and eat~” He insisted, tugging lightly on Vlad’s arm. “Or do we need to wait for the sun to set, because… you know” he leaned in to whisper, looking around the room to ensure no one was listening to them.

Thanks anyway :) It's just kinda strange? It's definitely a good rule to not disturb the boys, but we all know there're a lot of people who act whatever they want, and there're a lot of fans, so it's hard to imagine that no one even try to come to them and ask for a selfie, since they're pretty casually going aroud the cities in USA & Europe and even in Asia sometimes.

during one of the episodes of bv a fan recognized them and asked for a selfie and they said no so i guess that’s what they usually do

Theo was ready for the trip. A fun summer cruise with the Cains along Europe. They promised to stop in Greece for him. Since he loved art and culture, he wanted to see the greek colosseums. He wanted to segway through the city and float down the Italian Arno and tiber and take photos. He loved taking photos. Clyde was nervous about Italy, but he promised to show his daughter where her hertiage was. He hadn't been back with Gabe since in fear they would lose her. Even though they adopted her when she was one year old. He asked Gabe five times if he was sure he had her AMERICAN passport. Theo thought Gia's story was touching. There was an article writtne about it, turned into a made for tv hall mark movie. Clyde buying her for a DS and 100 dollars and hiding her on a plane for hours under his shirt. Gabe fighting the system to make her part of the family.

She was amazing. Beautiful. She gave him strength to come out straight to his family. Foster was fine with it, but Hedwig was a mess at first, but now was cool with everything. He hugged his mom as they boared the ship. He had his own cabin and was glad for that. Foster fussing over the tickets and Hedwig going on about clothes. She was performing on the stage up top deck later that night. He saw his crew come on with his bass guitar. Theo saw Clyde and Gabe walking forward, Gia behind them but quickly between them. She had her hair down, her shirt low and a cute outfit that made Theo just stare like a deer in headlights. Foster pet Gabeo n the shoulder and shook his hand. They talked about the DOW. Theo looked her over and lifted a sharp brow. "Hello. We didnt know if you guys would make it" he said lamely. "We are glad you did." He said. He hugged Clyde, he remembered clyde when he was a kid taking him to a toy store in London and many shopping trips after that.

Theo saw a group of guys looking Gia over and whistling. Theo felt red in the face, but tried to play it off. "I think your room is next to mine? Is that right?" He asked foster. "Yes, I think so, We are all on deck 1." He said. "Gia gets a room by you." He warned. Clyde looked at her. 'Will you be ok in a room alone?" He asked. "Cause Papa or I could stay with you if not, or you are welcome in our room." He said. Theo chuckled a little bit. Hedwig was yelling at someone about getting her a margarita now! He took her hand and lead her to the stairs to help her get to her room. "WE will get the drink later." He said. "I promise. Let's get settled first" He looked back at Gia and nodded. He helped get Hedwig settled. She said she needed a beauty nap, so he left her to go see his room.  

His room was smaller than Hedwig and his dad. He wanted a smaller room. He liked smaller rooms on ships. He felt more safe for some reason. He got a little sea sick, but now had medicine to help the motion sickness. He would get over it after the first day. This was two weeks long, so he knew he would need to,and they would have days to walk aroud on land. He went into his room and looked around. It was small. He set his stuff down and peeked out to see Clyde going into Gia's room to get her settled and to make sure she knew how to use the locks and who to call. Clyde saw Theo and smiled. "And theo.. hes across from you.. and daddy and I are only 2 rooms away. " He said and finally left because Gabe called for him. "Hey yeah, if you need me.. Across the hall." He saluted her. "I heard there is an all you can eat sushi bar, want to go check it out with me?" He asked shyly.

I have no clue about shoes

I wear a size euro 47 or US 14 shoe

I've never been a sneaker head but i would like to have a bit more style.

I am a 17yr old from europe. I don't have much money my budget would be aroud 100€, or 400HRK I would like to get myself some shoes that would stand out a bit more. I've always kept a low profile when it comes to clothes especially shoes. But a low profile doesn't help with women 😅 so i would like to stand out some way at least stand out with my style i dont wanna be in the spotlight but i wanna look fresh. I would like to bring some colour to my clothes, since most of my dresser is quite dark i am a bit chubby so i buy darker clothes so it hides my man boobs,so i am starting with shoes. I know i shouldnt expect a lot with such a tight budget. I usually buy something black on black or black on white, usually adidas. I am not a sporty type i just want something everyday and comfortable.

So could you please help me buy something, go wild i want as many recommendations as possible. Even if you cant give me any recommendations i would like if you could give me some tips about how to pick and choose a good shoe.

Thanks in advance. -op :)

[the-fourth-knower]

on that subject of other countries who ar aroud in at least Early Ming dynasty...

an England and France equivalent would of course be having a war - basically it was "Who has the right to be king of France". There's some other factions at play too.

Jian visiting the ancient land of Rome, or its equivalent, could be particularly interesting. Stories of Rome did reach real life China after all - I can only imagine how it must be to hear those stories, then get to not-Italy and discover that it's very different now than they days of the Roman empire controlling Italy.

speaking of, the Romans are being taken over by the Ottoman turks. Who were also bullying the general Middle East area and would go on to move into East Europe

over in Africa you have the Sub-Saharran trade routes, and especially West Africa floursihing thanks to gold.

Closer to Jian's home you'd have various Mongol left overs I imagine.

In India you'd have conflicts bettween new coming Islamic Turk groups, an upsurge in native Hinduism while Buddhism declined, and in the south there was the Vijaynagara Kingdom that remained indepdent of the newcomers.

in Southeast Asia you have the collapse of various Empires due to various reasons. Not much of an expert on those sadly, but seems pretty cool history! it seems like more warlord ism similar to what is going on in where Jian and co. are at.

Japan at this time seems to also be in a state of intrigue and warfare - seems like warfare is just common across Europe and Asia in this time period. Korea gets in on the action a bit too by being invaded by forces from China and a coup that puts in power a pro Ming dynasty- the Joseon. Tibet at least seems to go independent after the Mongols lose control of it

Sorry for the ramble lol - I got the chance to do a bit of history browsing and sharing what I know.

for your OC setting, it's mainly set in a Ming era China esque area yes? is there a specific time frame of Ming or is more like, the aesthetics/culture?

either way it's funny that you could have fantasy bird warlords fighting, and meanwhile over in the Europe equivalent it's also on fire from plague and the big and small kingdoms fighting each other. oh and whatever the Roman Empire remnants were up to

yes! mostly ming era esque! with some cultural/aesthetic elements from the three kingdoms period, the han, song, and tang dynasty. like i said before, a fictional version of ancient china with mixed in historical elements.

also to answer your second part of the ask--BRUH. i always keep in mind of the idea of jiang visiting other countries.

It's a very popular tourist destination during daytime but if you wait just a little longer, you get this gorgeous light with hardly anybody aroud...

Ships

@kawaiijellyfishgarden

Do you think you could do a male Cullen and a male Volturi ship? I'm a 5'4" African American girl with brown eyes and caramel ombre curly hair. I'm a chubby but curvy girl! I'm more 'flight before fight'. I'm loyal and I tend to put others before myself, even if it comes back to bite me. I am love in love with traveling! I tend to talk a lot but I still make a good listener. I'm a hopeless romantic but in a more classical sense and hate things like 'Netflix and Chill'! Oh! I'm a Sagittarius!

i ship you with ....... Edward
