#but i'm sure i will bc i've gotten rather obsessed

[smallboyonherbike]

i've been leading up to this poll for awhile by doing polls of top billboard hot 100 hits for each year - all from top 30 or so but not the exact top 10 as i would skip repeat artists or songs i didn't think were super memorable today.

if you check out my poll of just the actual billboard #1s for 2000s, you can see that absolutely none of the #1s won any of these year polls lol. but here i do feel we've got a truly solid group of competitors!!

Yandere! Werewolf Headcanons

I've been stalked by the guilty feeling that my Romanian Werewolf boy got a lot of backstory but not much romance or interaction. So there you have it: some headcanons featuring the ancient Beast, a post-kidnapping sequel.

Content: female reader, obsessive behavior, monster romance, mild NSFW at the end, ridiculously older yandere

You followed the gargantuan stranger back into the city, leaving the bloodbath behind as if it was just a distant dream. Admittedly, you’d expected to be dragged into some mountainous cave or an abandoned mansion, not the cozy - albeit a little dusty - apartment on a main, historical street. On second thought, he did function as a human outside of his monstrous escapades, so it made sense. “Is this your place?”, you sheepishly asked while he wiped the thick layers of blood off him. “One of them, yes”, he answered curtly. “It’s central”, you remarked, trying to make conversation. “Well, I didn’t know about it back then. It’s been a few decades.”

Your ears perked up at the words. Gazing at his features, he didn’t seem necessarily aged to you. The deep creases contouring his face felt more like a sign that he’s lived sorrows beyond most people’s comprehension. “How old are you?” You finally asked as curiosity replaced your initial fear. He abruptly stopped his movements and leaned back, brows furrowed in deep contemplation. “I’m not so sure anymore. I was born in the 80s”, he concluded. “That’s not too far back, is it?” You inquired, this time more relaxed. “80 BC, I meant. You do the math.”

He freshened himself up as you counted the millennia on your fingers, frowning in confusion. He chuckled at your intense focus, then quickly looked up into the mirror. When was the last time he smiled like this? The reflection was a foreign sight to him. “We’ll get you everything you need tomorrow”, he continued, still in a daze. What a strange idea, having someone to speak to after an eternity. And suddenly, it occurred to him just how rusted his communication had gotten: “I’m so sorry, I haven’t asked for your name once”, he said, embarrassed. “It’s (Y/N). And you are...?" Might as well introduce yourself to your benevolent captor.

The dreaded question. How did they call him back in the day? He hasn't had anyone spell it out for him, nor did he feel the need at any point to say it himself. Why would he? He hadn't anticipated meeting you. With pursed lips, he searched his mind. Eventually, from the depths or memories, from days of yore, it made its way back: "Daos."

Given your first gory encounter (where he quite literally murdered everyone else), you were surprised to find out he's otherwise a calm and polite individual. Well, he's had centuries to mature, you suppose. You've also noticed he has that rather old-fashioned chivalry to him. He's very attentive despite his stoic demeanor, and often follows with acts of service.

"You're insulting me. I can carry this myself with ease", you'll argue. "I never doubted you can. Nonetheless, it is my wish to do it for you."

As the days pass, your reluctance seems to vanish as well. In fact, you've become particularly cheeky, encouraged by his warm, unperturbed behavior. Maybe you haven't gotten the worst deal out there, after all.

"You know, you talk like an old man", you've teased him once. He was visibly taken aback by your statement, and you could discern a faint blush on his face. "Do I? My apologies, I haven't spoken to anyone in a long time. I'm not familiar with modern speech. Have I embarrassed you somehow?"

He spends his free time reading, though he will frequently take you on walks. It's an interesting affair to say the least. You can feel the curious eyes of the passersby and hear their not-so-discreet whispered gossip. You can't truly blame them: Daos is enormous even as a human. He towers above everyone else with his imposing appearance. To match, his voice is deep and coarse as a result of not using it much until recently.

The ancient werewolf is a living history book. If asked, he will narrate to you important events or details you might be curious about regarding his culture. Once, when he'd been in a good mood, he even shared fragments of his life before turning into a creature. He'd been a high-ranked Dacian warrior, spending his days training or fighting. He still remembers the flag he carried with bitter fondness, yet another irony to his fate: a wolf-headed serpent. It was meant to showcase their way of life; barbarians with no fear of death. They'd greeted the Roman Empire with nothing but a sword and a shield, no shred of doubt.

He might've been betrayed by his people, but the pride remains. The pride of a soldier who's never known defeat. You learned quickly that his beastly form doesn't count as a significant change by any means, save for appearances. The man has brute strength even as a human. You'd once strayed from his view, and a stranger approached with a daring whistle, gawking you up and down. Before you could react, Daos clawed him by the throat. You heard the twist of the skin and the creak of the bones giving in to the immense pressure of his large hand.

"It's the second time I have exposed you to such unpleasant sights", he said, discarding the body as if it was any other garbage. "Forgive me, but I will not have you disrespected like this."

He is very much aware he's taken you away from the world out of his own selfish desire. The fact that you accepted it is more than he could ever ask for. That's what he keeps telling himself, even as his eyes wander to your lips whenever you speak. Or as his hand lingers a moment too long against the curve of your back. Or as he hungrily takes in your scent whenever you're nearby.

He might be unhealthily possessive of you, but Daos will never do anything against your will. No matter how obvious his urges are. In fact, no amount of flirting or teasing will shake his resolve. You will have to be very direct with your approval.

Once the reality settles in, he'll become extremely affectionate, bordering on obsessive. To think he could have you in every way possible. Oh, he's waited thousands of years for you. All the suffering, the loneliness, the anger, they're stripped of any meaning now that he has you.

The city strolls at an awkward distance have since become a habitual excuse to hold your hand and show you off to the mortals. The quiet evenings of passing time with a book now include your merely noticeable weight cuddled into his lap. You didn't expect him to be this adoring. Being touch-starved for millennia counts as one reason, naturally, but there's more to it, so much more. And it all leads back to you.

He is a little taken aback when you ask him to do the deed in his werewolf form. "Don't be foolish. I can't overcome my instincts as well when I'm a creature. I could harm you", he'll lecture you. "Besides, you can barely take it as it currently is", he'll add, smirking at your baffled expression. It seems he's picked up on your cheekiness.

After a lot of pleading and waiting for the right moment - when he's ravaging you in a daze - he finally agrees. True to his word, his tune instantly changes. The tender hold turns into a desperate grasp sinking into your skin, and the thrusts become irregular, almost frantic. His drool cools your burning cheeks as you hold onto the coarse fur, feverish and overwhelmed.

His golden eyes rest on the small human squirming underneath him, and suddenly, he can't help but notice: you have the perfect birthing hips.

this is my leg hair acceptance journey (for anyone interested)

i'm still not there yet but my perception has changed

before starting, even with my legs covered in winter i'd shave everything (even my arms and back)

then i started letting it grow in winter and still shaving/waxing in summer

i did that for a few years and last summer i decided to keep my leg hair, only to bleach it (cuz it's very dark)

i even went to the beach with it in a bikini and it wasn't easy but it was surprising how not so many people noticed, although i was only with family so it definitely helped feeling more comfortable

i've progressively gotten used to seeing myself with leg hair and i like the feeling of it now and would rather not shave anymore

i still have trouble fully accepting it though, i still don't like how my leg hair looks with more feminine clothing such as skirts or dresses, and i'm not sure i'd be willing to wear shorts to work with leg hair yet (i'm thinking of waxing at first and letting it grow out again so that i can slowly get used to having more and more leg hair in a work/public setting)

basically, it takes a lot of work, and a lot of time, but it is possible to free yourself from this gender norm and it's very cool not having to be obsessed with every unshaved hair and not having to spend a lot of time and money shaving/waxing (also a lot less pain and less blood)

i'm lucky to hang out with mostly women who have the same mindset as me on body hair

i did get comments from my dad but a little feminist lecture put a stop to them

so next step is in a work environment which will be very hard bcs they're not the most progressive bunch but i'll try

[wistful-pigeon]

https://www.tumblr.com/cartoons-asfuk-blog/131237661529 This really got on Cartoon Network. It’s the episode that was delayed and screened at sdcc to. That had to be fun lol. Teen titans go probably does worse but still wow

I mean I assume that whomever you are, this is in my inbox because of my recent Ramblings-

I'll be honest, I don't quite understand the tone implied in this message but I know that I remember the character (Cheshire? Listen it's been a solid 5 years since I had the emotional capacity to watch YJ again but I did in fact watch Season 1 at least 3 dozen times)

I'm going off of context cues alone here and granted, I don't have a whole lot but I feel like this is about Her Legs; and man I can't think of any way to fight in a long skirt (or skirt in general) that doesn't involve Your Opponents Seeing Your Whole Ass and that's why I personally always wear shorts or leggings underneath if I'm wearing a skirt/dress (one has to always be prepared for combat at any moment).

I *did* check just now to make sure, but Cheshire is 19 already in Season 1 so honestly? I don't necessarily see this as being an "inappropriate" or even particularly sexualizing scene- I've seen clips of the latter seasons and whenever Starfire is introduced (no spoilers there please y'all istg I'm going to be watching it soon I just need to emotionally prepare myself and after Good Omens Season 2 I'm still reeling here) I have seen a multitude of GIFs involving... a more sexual nature than what this gives off to me.

So like I think what I'm saying here is that given how female superhero outfits have always been, this scene is nothing particularly raunchy in my eyes; I'd say the whole "Oriental" aesthetic of her character may or may not be in the best of tastes (I would listen to what people of East Asian ethnicity have to say about it rather than say "it isn't problematic at all" cuz I don't know the intricacies of it all) and the overall sexualization of Cheshire's character does sorta play in to the whole "sexualizing East Asian culture" trope that IS indeed a long existing problem; but in the way they tell her story (as far as I recall and up until S2), I think that the overall story of her character is generally handled well without anything that my younger self noticed as being particularly problematic.

Although I do feel there is a difference between how one can show that a certain character may display their attunement with their sexuality (and I don't mean sexuality as in sexual identity per say it's more about one's own image of themselves and how one wishes to be perceived by others, as a Sexual Being) as opposed to the perception of the character through the lens and to the audience and the OVER-sexualization of characters and people that is an ongoing Issue and remains one of the reasons why I have never gotten fully otaku-level obsessed with anime bc it is a very prevalent issue within that form of media.

Don't have a clue why this answer became an essay but here I am, 7am, and I hope that this all comes across in a more cohesive manner than it felt writing it.

And I swear I'll go ask my girlfriend for the HBO password and finally WATCH the show again and the new seasons and maybe then I will understand better? Honestly if you can't tell from all of this I'm AUDHD so if I misconstrued things lmk

Can I request yandere Peter Pan and the lost boys (poly) x male reader? It’s cool if not! (:

sure thing :) since most of the lost boys are really young children I decided to do headcannons for Peter and Felix individually cause I've had a lot going on these past two weeks emotionally so when I have more energy I'll do an actual oneshot for this ask

Warnings: Yandere obvi

Starting with peter, he'd be the type of yandere to make it very clear to his darling that they're his.

If you came to the island with a friend, yeah, they're dead.

nobody can go near you, but the longer you stay on the island the more he'll trust you. But trusting you doesn't matter because it's the lost boys who are eternally stuck in puberty that he doesn't trust.

HATES physical affection but will not hesitate to fully make out in front of a lost boy so they'll leave you alone

he's chill(er) with you hanging out with the younger lost boys between like 6-12 after that it's free target practice.

after about a month he gets more comfortable with Felix being around you, but not without ripping his heart out and threatening him first.

says ily before you even start dating

if you choose to go the monogamous route and Felix isn't attracted to you, then you'd end up hanging out with the blonde more than the man who set his eyes on you, but that'll be purely bc with Felix you can talk to the other lost boys without worrying he'll snitch.

and boy does that piss peter off. you're supposed to be HIS so what are you doing spending more time with the second in command than the man who took you in?

are you not grateful for his protection and undying love? of course, over time you are but he needs to ensure he's gotten his message across.

so like any good boyfriend you didn't agree to date, he stabs his competition and leaves him on the beach to die. Of course, the other lost boys saved him but now you understood.

you understood that no one would go as far for you as him. nobody can be trusted but him.

if you go the poly route he's 10x more defensive not just of you but of Felix. It took a lot of effort to share you and he's not going to spread his feelings further.

At first, it started out as a competition, you obviously fell for Felix first considering he's better at masking his psychopathy compared to Peter

It took some time but Felix convinced you to give pan a chance.

happiest day of his life

he's down bad I'm telling you

leaves hickeys to mark his territory. doesn't matter if he was prompted or not he'll just come up to you, loop his arms around your waist and get to work

despite being over a century younger than Peter I believe Felix is 110 times better at hiding his obsession

once you realized that Felix was equally as crazy as Pan you were already in too deep

big spoon so you don't run away

he enjoys pissing you off a bit too much

very much a passive yandere

unlike pan it'll take a bit of provoking for him to act out, whereas pan if you look at him the wrong way he'll gut you

will not let you leave his side EVER

loves playing with your hair. he's sitting on a long combing his fingers through your hair in front of the fire while he glares at Peter ogling his darling, this happens quite frequently

I think Felix leaves bite marks rather than hickeys, like, 'he let me do this to him and you think you can lay a hand on him? nah'

loves physical contact and Holding hands is a must.

Random ask, do you think Ultimate Note (C-drama) is worth watching? Is it from dmbj? I read somewhere that it is not danmei like MDZS or TGCF, is it true?

Okay... for whom I was obsessing about pingxie here and doing like 5 edits in a raw about it? Haha. Yes, of course, it's worth it. And yes, it's the Daomu Biji series. As I've said already it's technically not a danmei no, it's a series of the adventure books with a BL couple in it, that is as epic as wangxian yes. It is a very VERY popular chinese bl pairing that everyone ships for like 10 years now. Despite them not being together yet and one of them realizing that their relationship are romantic only like 12 books after now that he's very-very ill (do not worry, "Reboot" other part of the show was a bit rewritten by author from the book to give them a happy ending, bc books aren't finished yet and he jokes that he's gonna finish maybe in 2050), the story and their story is absolutely incredible, I'm 100% sure you'll fall in love not only with them, but with the world, other characters and iron triangle and will be gone forever! *evil laugh*

Anyways "Ultimate Note" is as gay as can be yes, but.. BUT "Ultimate Note" is not the beginning of the story and you won't get anything if you just start watching it. It starts from book 5 actually and follows to book 8, the time when they were almost always together in the books (other than that their story is full of painful separations, painful longing, constant search for each other to usual fav chinese major 10 or smth years of full on pain), so you have to either read first books first or just read the main info you need to know before that. Bc even tho there are many adaptations, they're very chaotic and some are such bad quality that I'd rather skip on those. "Untimate Note" and "Reboot" are most well known bc they're on another quality level. They're both gayer than the book, but the second one does include slight cencorship, first one none at all haha. UN tho is much brighter than the original book, I mean books are quite crass.

Anyways, you gotta do like a minimum research for sure, but better just read first books, then watch UN, then continue reading up to the bronze gate separation, then happily watch reunion in "Reboot" and happy ending hehe (that if you won't get addicted like me and want to continue the torture) xD

Look at them look, look, look. Their love story is super great, chemistry is incredible, so if you miss your epic chinese gay love stories, yes, that's the right adress <3 In fact again they're in my top 3 ships along with wangxian and that's with the fact that they still haven't gotten together (and maybe never will, who knows), only shared a "kiss" of life underwater and fucking ripped my heart by being the most idiotic idiots ever, but believe me it's worth it. You must've heard, they're the legendary "I found my only connection with this world... it's you." morons lmao

It also has a beautiful donhua based on book 3, too.

But also again small reminder that romance is not the focus of these books, so despite the fact that they're truly incredible and have this red-string of fate kinda relationships, its not exactly the same thing as danmei novels (its same tho xD).

But also I know what you ask here, and yes, "Ultimate Note" is indeed as a c-drama on the same gay level as your usual danmei c-dramas yes. You will love them, trust me. Also chemistry oh such chemistry, rare thing to find. In both ;)

Who are your death predictions for stranger things volume 2? If you had to pick 3

ok... before i answer this, this isn't anything @ you for being genuinely curious or anything, but i posted a little while back about how i don't really get the whole obsessing over main character deaths thing and saying that any of them Has to die by the end of the show. i don't like thinking about that and i don't personally feel like any of them have to die -- especially after everything they've been through and what we the audience has been through with them at this point

so, hopper, joyce, steve, robin, nancy, jonathan, el, mike, max, lucas, will, dustin, i'm not going to speculate on any one of them dying ever bc i really really don't want it or to even think about it happening lol

that said, (almost) literally anyone else is fair game, so

(potential spoilers under the cut !!! please do not read any further if you'd rather go in without any info or if this sort of speculation may upset you. please remember that i am someone who has kept up with all kinds of potential spoiler things over the course of filming and i might know more info than what we've gotten just from bts + trailers and officially released stuff. i won't bring any of it up but it will most definitely influence my opinion)

so... you said 3, and i've definitely got 3 potential deaths in mind

unfortunately, bc he's become such a popular and well-liked character and bc i myself have grown attached to him, i do think eddie is going to die. i think he's meant to be the gut-punch death that i've seen some people suggesting there has to be this season for some reason. he's Not a main character but he fits in so well with our group, he might as well be considered one. and how sad would it be if they spent so much of the season trying to help him and max only for him to die in the end?

i think it's gonna happen when he's in the upside down with dustin and that the guitar thing is his big moment before death. i would love to be wrong about this, but i believe dustin is screaming for him in the vol 2 trailer and it's not looking good. there's also the nightmare on elm street parallels

honestly, i've gone back and forth on whether they're actually going to do it. i think the duffers actually hate killing off characters just as much as i would hate having them die, and they've definitely seen how popular of a character he's become. i almost convinced myself at one point that they could do another fake death situation and have him stuck in the upside down in need of rescue for s5 but... most people would probably hate that kdsnfkj. but seriously, it'd be almost like going full circle, back to the beginning. there's almost certainly too much else going on in s5 for that to be what happens, though

there's gonna be a ton of deaths in the el/silo lab/military/cali crew storyline. most of them have been shown to us in the trailers and teasers, though. like you know the people in those vehicles and helicopters aren't surviving lol. idk if sullivan is in any of them bc i could see him continuing to be an adversary in s5, esp if he isn't in any of them and so much of his team is wiped out literally by the girl he's chasing

but, the significant death i'm expecting to happen in this storyline is owens. it was fucked up of him to just throw el into all of this without a proper warning -- he didn't tell her about the hair, he didn't tell her what the nina project really was, he didn't tell her about brenner. sure he's desperate and he's obviously only been reluctantly working with brenner on this the whole way but i think that's really all about to come to a head in the next ep

i think he's going to maybe want to help el leave, but brenner tells her she isn't ready. and then the military infiltrates the base and he tries helping her in some way, and then he dies. i'm pretty sure about this one, but that might just be the influence of his character description in the stupid puzzle game talking lmao

i'm 50/50 on brenner, so i'm not counting him as one of the three. i feel like there are characters he needs to interact with again in order for his story to be truly over. hopper, namely, and since i don't see them meeting up this season... maybe henry/vecna, too, since he holds significant responsibility in what happened there. plus, they just seem to really love matthew bts and i don't know if they'd get rid of him that quickly after just getting him back. i could be totally wrong, though, bc it kinda seems like el/the cali crew are the only ones making it out of the desert.

now, in russia, i think we could be losing either murray or dmitri. maybe both. i think murray's been having too many wins, too many big moments. and dmitri got the speech about how they'd die as traitors or monster hunters, and how his son would view him after. plus there's the line about joyce 'saving (hopper) bc of friendship' which like... everyone on this show does that, yes, actually. just all feels like it's leading to something

but yeah, eddie, owens, murray/dmitri. mayyyyyybe brenner. none of the Actual main characters. i'm not saying all of the main main characters are in the clear, though, as i'm sure they'll all be pretty messed up in some way going into s5

Do you reply to comments, why or why not?

i do!! i love seeing comments and even if i just reply in emojis i try to respond to all of them!

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

idk if any of my fics have truly /angsty/ endings? but some of my fics that are just like cutoff convos are pretty angsty? most of them are in my faeth family feels tag!

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

honestly i do go hurt/comfort a lot, or like emotionally sappy, but my happiest fic is probably my sandra lynn/jawbone kitchenware fic, or my brancella gbbo au

Do you write crossovers?

i did one crossover fic for the d20 alphabet challenge!! i will not link it <3

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

i don't think so? i've gotten some comments that i weren't Sure, but i've chosen to take them as compliments

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

nope! i've done some fade to black stuff but no real smut

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

no?? i dont think so

Have you ever had a fic translated?

i have not! but it'd be really cool

What are your writing strengths?

i like to think dialogue! but i also know it's not my Best. i do a lot of descriptions but tbh i do like my one liners, or using one line to get what i'm trying to say across. i also like to think that i'm good at building tensions in scenes/i don't post if often but writing horror/gore

What are your writing weaknesses?

i know i said i like to think i'm good at dialogue, but i also know that sometimes i'm not. and also like pre planning gets me all the fucking time. i always go back and fuck with my outlines when i do make them, they never stay the same

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

i personally don't do it, but that's also because i don't fully trust my ability to know when someone would switch to another language. i know a lot of immigrant who do switch languages pretty often, but i also know it all depends on family structure/the character so i just avoid it for myself

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

i think PJO?? but i also probably wrote fic as a kid i forgot about

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

ooh i really like my aelwyn and old people fic. i'm also proud of my fig and fabian fics, but particularly stitch by stitch i tear apart!

my endocrinologist dropped me as a patient for "not seeing her in person in 2 yrs" despite having until the end of the year to do so, but like i'd rather just get referred to a new one bc her receptionist is weirdly hostile

my depression has gotten so bad that i no longer find joy in anything

my ocd has gotten so bad w my checking compulsions that i obsessively check every hour to make sure my car hasn't been stolen and i cannot make myself stop

i can no longer afford my psychologist who costs $300 a session bc if i work at all when i'm not in school, bc of the way disability works here, i'm literally losing us money

i got literally banned from financial aid for failing/dropping too many classes due to my mental health due to (see above)

husband and i are fighting all the time bc everything is too stressful and i literally cannot help him w his schoolwork bc whoever writes the online modules intentionally tries to trick students, and "gotcha" style learning is unfair

i'm being bullied by a middle aged woman at the dog park bc i ... talk to my dog while he plays

in conclusion, i give up forever

[punchyfeeley]

Monday and Friday tag game :)

Tagged by @saintgarbanzo ! It isnt monday or friday but here's the thing...time isn't real...

relationship status I'm pretty sure I'm aro bc any time someone wants to date me I feel physically ill but living vicariously through fictional characters' romantic lives and also a mostly hypothetical slut these days as i'm chronically ill and am not risking covid thanks

favorite food my formula? (I have a feeding tube) it lets me not die which is pretty rad. I drink like 6 cups of tea a day tho if I can pick a drink instead- Irish Breakfast with a bit of cream and sugar or iced tea.

favorite color green :)

song stuck in your head Moments Silence (Common Tongue) by Hozier v underrated. I'm a sucker for songs about religion and sex. I'm learning it on guitar so I've been listening to it over and over

last thing you googled "Rabbi Yohanan time period"

time time is made up and I don't wanna think about it

dream trip a cabin in the woods just like alone with my dog and some good reading. Fortunately, this is an achievable goal.

last book you read does a play count? "Titus Andronicus" if yes. The Queer God by Marcella Althaus-Reid if no.

last book you enjoyed Both The Queer God and Indecent Theology by Marcella Althaus-Reid. I'm a slut for Queer Theology.

last book you hated reading I'm not really a Titus Andronicus fan, but if we're talking hate then The Invisible Weevil by Mary Karooro Okurut. It's about the HIV Crisis in Uganda but it's just disgustingly and horrifically classist and victim-blaming and I wrote a 7 page paper about why it sucks

favorite thing to cook/bake biscuits! Sometimes I think I'm not that southern but then I remember I used to work at a biscuit place making biscuits and sausage gravy and shit all day. Also, I call mosquitos "skeeters" and called summer "iced tea season" the other day. so.

favorite craft to do I don't really craft? But I will fix anything. Give me a little hands-on helpful task and I'm happy as a clam. I would rather be invited over to hang a shelf than to watch a movie.

most niche dislikes the sensation of earbuds or headphones (they make the insides of my ears sweaty): when people call all nonpenetrative sex (especially PiV) foreplay.

opinion on circuses A bunch of my friends are circus people! I used to do acro. good group cuddle piles. 12/10.

Do you have a sense of direction and if not what’s the worst way you’ve gotten lost? no! My mom and I once got lost in rural Georgia and there was this very muscular attractive man wood chopping wood outside in the rain??? who gave us directions and I was sure we were going to be murdered.

last song you listened to Symphony For Strings by Dvorak. I don't have a story I just love it.

last show you watched The Musketeers. It's really bad but everyone is hot. Sexy sword fighting. I really love terrible shows that know they're terrible. You also have to try not to think about how they're all just old-timey cops.

currently watching nothing. I can't focus on watching things anymore for whatever reason. I can read for 18 hours a day but cannot focus on watching something for longer than 5 minutes.

currently reading The fall semester is starting so I'm currently reading Global Migration: Patterns, Processes, and Politics for my Migration and Displacement Class. I'm trying to only take one depressing class per semester now and this was my pick. It's genuinely very interesting but also owchie my heart

current obsessions Queer Talmud. Jewish Bondage. Homoerotic Chavruta relationships.
