not to brag but i saw my very first opera tonight (die zauberflöte)... and it was soooo much fun holy shit 10/10 i understand what opera queens are getting at now

[rogue-coyote]

ten people i'd like to get to know better

thanks for the tag @jacerys-velaryon

last song: jackie and wilson (hozier) has been playing on a loop in my head for the last two months. before that it was goodbye, eddie, goodbe (phantom of the paradise soundtrack)

favourite colour: purple...

last book: oughhh i'm balls deep in three uni textbooks atm (developmental bio, animal physiology and biochemistry lmao) but the last book i finished "for fun" (read: writing research) was "radio hitler" by nathan morley. an interesting pop-history look at the influence of radio broadcasting shows for third reich propaganda both domestically and abroad.

i did start "the brothers karamazov" audiobook but i was having a really hard time keeping track of what the fuck was happening :( i might try to read the physical copy instead but honestly i haven't had much time or brain capacity to read for fun lately because prepping for my thesis is consuming my life!

last movie: PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE 50TH ANNIVERSARY ORIGINAL DE PALMA CUT...

last tv show: i'm about 2/3rds done with HBO rome. before that i was rewatching fellow travellers for the 2nd time. contemplating a mad men and/or babylon berlin rewatch...

sweet/spicy/savoury: spicy and savoury!! i'm a dark chocolate slut, don't really care for sweet.

relationship status: single and tired of people's bullshit tbh

last thing i googled: "never thought i'd get to meet the devil" it's a 1 min transition song in phantom of the paradise that is extremely catchy but not on the soundtrack... i wish they'd expanded on it

current obsessions: i am always thinking about my ocs tbh... idk i don't really get obsessed these days like i used to, but i do have a rotating spectrum of things that i find interesting; history, classic lit, film, art, cellular biology/epigenetics, FISHES (!!!!), travel, food. i obviously have a particular interest in wwii... specifically the experiences of the average person, largely wehrmacht focused but allied airborne too.

for media, rn i am thinking A Lot about alan wake ii and phantom of the paradise.

looking forward to: i'm maybe a week or two away from being short-term debt free which means i can finally start planning and saving for a solo europe trip (aka do a bunch of stupid oc research) :-)

also it's almost reading week and i desperately need to lay face down on the floor for a little bit. and also write gay porn sorry (i'm not).

extremely no pressure tag @fooltofancy @muffinpines @wehdile @presiding @georges-lecointe and literally whoever is reading this its whatever

it's my birthday today :)

its also the national day for truth and reconciliation. i'd love for people to check out my etsy or donate to truth and reconciliation in honour of my grandmother 🧡

i swear i make this post every year in spring but. there are truly few better feelings than being cozied up with a writing project i am deeply autistic about and a nice beverage while it thunderstorms outside.

[rogue-coyote]

i'm sooooo excited for the 50th anniversary phantom of the paradise event this evening... idk how i'm gonna focus on anything else today

it’s been a pretty amazing trip north to collect some research data 🥰 we were lucky to have perfect weather and tons of bears in the area, including a mom with three cubs (a rarity in the last few decades)

y'all i'm going to die of embarrassment... was checking my calendar with a coworker and forgot i had left my tumblr tab open on that victorian mouth to mouth post. when i closed my calendar out of habit i know he saw the picture.

and i don't know how to explain wtf is going on there without 1) sounding like a freak or 2) making it seem worse than it is by doing that because he didn't say anything so it would be Weirder to bring it up like "hey i know you may have thought you saw gay porn on my phone. it's actually weirder than that but completely sfw. but actually not."

and so now i have to change my name and leave the country

churchill can eat shit and die forever but unfortunately i have to say. "we shall fight on the beaches" kind of a speech of all time

birthday is coming up and i'm thinking about a screen tablet (or even just a larger size tbh) to replace my 11 yro small wacom pro... it still works but i've always been frustrated by the limited canvas size bc it absolutely destroys my wrist and deters me from drawing.

anyone have experience with huion or xp pen to compare with cintiq/wacom?

it's that time of the year again where one (1) whole shelf in my fridge is just. entirely cans of beer.

... in my defence my two favourites are limited summer edition - a lemon lavender radler from the yukon and a locally brewed blueberry pale ale milkshake - so i have to start going hog wild with a cache Now or else risk missing out... and then how do i survive the winter if i have beverage depression
