K, so I'm in a depressive episode, and I'm craving chocolate. Nobody probably cares, but here's what type of chocolate members of Team Tadpole prefer and how I think they'd react to receiving it as a gift! This is purely headcannons, and I haven't been able to play the game in a few months, so if I get something wrong, don't be mad at me, lol.

Shadowheart: She absolutely adores dark chocolate, and she's absolutely one of those pretentious fuckers who hate milk chocolate, and take anything other than 90-100% cacao as an insult on their fucking bloodline. She does think that she's better than you for liking Dark chocolate- This does not change if she gets her 'good' ending.

If you bring her her favorite type of chocolate, she will not only be impressed but grateful. I feel like she probably has chronic migraines or something and would enjoy sharing it with you some late night with a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board. Probably making flower crowns or feeding animals in a meadow, basic cottagecore lesbian romance stuff. I could be wrong, I've never romanced Shadowheart, but it's just a gut feeling.

Karlach: Karlach likes milk chocolate best, and doesn't see the point in putting up with something bitter just because some people think it's 'better'. More than anything, it reminds her of her mums baking, back when she was a kid. Chocolate is expensive and hard to get your hands on, but by god when the holidays came around or her birthday, I feel like her mum would've baked her the best cookies or chocolate chip muffins after working extra hard to afford it.

Karlach would love whatever type of chocolate you gave her, but I think especially if you brought her hot chocolate or chocolate chip cookies/Muffins/etc, she might even tear up a little. After all, she hasn't had something like that since her mom died.

Wyll: Wyll is a proud enjoyer of chocolate in general, but actually seems to favor white chocolate and dark chocolate the best. He likes to enjoy the contrast in flavors.

I feel like Wyll would just be grateful to be given chocolates, and wouldn't care much what form they came in. He'd probably invite you to enjoy them alongside him, and simply spend time with one another. I do believe he loves dark hot chocolate with whipped cream, and would probably try to set up a day to go to his favorite cafe in baldurs gate for hot chocolate, to return the favor. It's a treat for him, too, since he hasn't been there since his father cast him out. It'll bring a wave of nostalgia, and maybe some unkind memories.. But he will feel happy to be there. Especially to be there with you. And maybe, it'll become a much more common thing.

Astarion: I feel like he prefers dark chocolate, if he's able to eat it at all (I don't remember how vampires work in DnD.)..

If he can't eat it, I feel like he'd miss it.. the simple things. Pleasures like imported chocolates. He might go on a monologue about things he enjoyed as a Mortal that he no longer can.-.. If he can, however, eat chocolate.. I think he'd be surprised. Surprised you thought of him, surprised you spent the money, surprised you wanted to give him anything at all. I think he'd be very happy, but he probably wouldn't want to show it. He'd brush it off with a sarcastic comment or something, yet still taking the mental note that if nobody else cared, at least you did.

Gale: Gale is the most pretentious motherfucker there is, are you kidding me? I think he, himself, loves milk chocolate and it's a major guilty pleasure, but he tells everyone it's dark chocolate. He doesn't shame anyone for their preference, but there comes an air of arrogance whenever he says he likes dark chocolate.

He will definitely be grateful no matter what type you give him, but if you give him milk chocolate and tell him you know it's his favorite? He might try to deny it at first, but his heart is beating a mile a fucking minute knowing that you've been observant enough to bring him his actual favorite type without making a big deal about it, or calling him a liar.

Lae’zel: Has never had chocolate before, and doesn't know why you're giving it to her. She does, however, adore white chocolate after you get her to try some. You'd assume she'd prefer dark, but she doesn't. She believes that if you're going to have a sweet, or a desert, it shouldn't be bitter because that defeats the purpose.

After you get her to try it the first time, she'll insist she doesn't like it or see the reason for it, but at any party or gathering or anything where there's chocolate? She's sampling the fuck out of that snack table, and hovering over the bowl of sweets like a dragon guarding a hoard of treasure. She actually really likes fancy chocolates and truffles. If you bring them to her while in an established relationship, she won't act very different, but she's very happy and feels very loved.

I might do Halsin, Jaheira, Minsc, and Minthara later. Idk.

October 2024 Reads & Reviews 📚 🎃

Best Hex Ever by Nadia El-Fassi - 5/5⭐️ I absolutely loved this book! I'm a big fan of magical realism romances and this one hit the nail on the head for me. It was cozy, it had depth and great character development, and the spice was hella spicy! I'll definitely be reading the second book to this series when it comes out.

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson - 2.5/5⭐️ This book was okay, and I was a little let down, since it's such a popular horror book. But, realistically, not all classics live up to modern day standards of story-telling. I found the dialogue between the characters having too much tongue in cheek humor for what was supposed to be a scary, eerie story. I'm glad I read it though because I can see how this story sets up the modern-day haunted house story and the way vulnerable characters are prone to be effected to hauntings more.

The Pumpkin Spice Cafe by Laurie Gilmore- 3/5⭐️ I didn't know what to expect with this one since it's been so viral and maybe I over-estimated the book because of that and should have known better lol. Even with that being said, it was still a super cute, cozy fall romance that has a good level of spice. If you want an easy, entertaining and no-frills seasonal romance, I'd recommend this one.

Man Made Monsters by Andrea L. Rogers - 3.5/5⭐️ This was a really neat book. If I had to summarize it, I would say it's, "Young Adult Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark with Native American Characters and Themes", which is pretty cool! There was a bunch of short stories and each one had some pretty cool illustrations. I loved that all the stories had characters that were related spanning from the late 1800's to modern times and onward. The inclusion of the family tree was pretty awesome, as well. Very neat and unique read!

The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden - 5/5⭐️ Damn! This was probably one of the my favorite McFadden books so far. I really didn't see the plot twist at the end of this book coming. This was a quick, easy and entertaining read that I'd recommend to any fan of psychological thrillers. I enjoyed the variety of crazy people in this book - they all had their own motives and intents behind their actions for doing wrong and it makes you think a bit about the reasons people turn to murder.

The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw - 2.5/5⭐️ This was such a strange book! I read it for a book club and I think a more realistic, horror style storytelling of The Little Mermaid is super cool. However, it seemed to me that the author used the most complex, and uncommon words to her writing that made it utterly pretentious and difficult to read. The ending was good but I felt the timeline of the story telling was very off and some of the story came after the acknowledgements page which was bizarre to me.

Murder Your Employer: McMaster’s Guide to Homicide - 3/5⭐️ I really didn't know what to expect of this book but it was very unique and highly detailed, as well as filled with dark humor. I enjoyed the story and the premise of a school to teach people how to "delete" people the world would be better off without. However, it just wasn't my cup of tea. It was very quirky which I loved but it just wasn't for me.

The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst - 3.5/5⭐️This book is the definition of "cottagecore". It was really cute and cozy, however, it was definitely slow for the first half of the book. The second half was a lot more fast-paced, and I loved the ending. I just wish the pace was more evenly spaced out. Still very much an enjoyable, feel-good book.

A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair - 3/5⭐️ I loved a more magical realism take on Greek mythology and the gods being like celebrities within the world of mortals. This was a story about Persephone and Hades relationship. The spice was super good, like very good! The story wasn't anything groundbreaking good but I love an easier fantasy read without it coming with the need of as much lore to the world they live in.

🔥 thoughts on the popular aesthetics? (cottagecore, dark academia, etc)

I personally kinda like them but i’m also annoyed whenever someone says something super generalizing like “gay people love cottagecore” or whenever people have no self awareness when it comes to the negative aspects of those aesthetics, such as romanizing classism and colonialism

idk since you’re an aesthetic blog i wanna hear ya thoughts :)

I've talked about my issues with cottagecore many times, to the point where I've received hate mail because of it lol

My thoughts on cottagecore are pretty simple: it's not wrong to daydream about wanting to garden or own a cottage out in the country. The issue I've always had with it is the egregious amount of TERFs and tradwives who would sneak their way into this aesthetic while also trying to spread their gross ideologies of either radfem rhetoric or Christian 'traditional gender roles' crap. That's why I started using #cottagepunk instead because I didn't want to be associated with those people at all but I still wanted to post about that aesthetic since I was raised in a rural, mountainous area.

I like dark academia simply as an aesthetic because it reminds me of my own time in college, studying and going to the library/cafe with my friends. So for me, it was more about nostalgia and missing that time in my life and less about seeing myself as 'inherently smarter' just because I read classic books or whatever. Honestly, I was usually the one 'academic' that spent more time reading cozy mysteries and sketching instead of boring myself to death reading long, jargon-filled articles. Though, granted, I was a poor kid who went to school for filmmaking so my experience in 'higher education' was already very different than what typical dark academia presents it as.

Overall, I love many different aesthetics on tumblr but I genuinely can't stand when privileged people take them over and make it uncomfortable for minorities to enjoy themselves in these spaces. Like, with so many 'secret' white supremacists in the cottagecore tag, I couldn't 100% enjoy it as a poc. With so many obnoxious, classist people in the dark academia tag, again, I couldn't enjoy it 100% as a working class poc. Even the goth, witchy, and plenty of other aesthetics I loved blogging about, couldn't really hold my attention because of how pretentious or straight up evil some people would be towards anyone who didn't 'fit' into the aesthetic in their eyes.

That's kind of why I prefer to mash a bunch of aesthetics together and kind of create my own aesthetic out of it! I think more folks should start doing that, as well, so there's less of these rigid and vague 'rules' about who can be a part of certain aesthetic or not.

Sorry for the last time😅 heres the exchange reading:-What's my fs first impression of me

I got a vision of two people standing very close and having an awkward conversation and they're surrounded by people in a cafe or restaurant, that guy looks very interested and wanted to know the girl whereas the girl look little hesitate to talk & feeling shy? Anyway I immediately hear the word popular so maybe your fs is someone very popular and you know them so when they first came to talk to you, you got shocked and feel shy and hesitate to talk to them which make you little awkward, I'm keep seeing the guy smiling and wanted to know the girl I don't why you're so awkward around them they look at you like they fall in love with you there lol

Now their first impression of you was literally "they're so beautiful" and I'm hearing this word a lot now 😶 "I wanted to know you", "I saw you", "I know you", "why are you avoiding me", "let's talk", "I wanted to talk to you and know you more" ok so there's lot of knowing you or wanted to talk to you I'm hearing, from what I saw and hear I feel like for them it's a love at first sight 😉

My initials: SK & Sun sign: Gemini

Hope you like the reading 💞

Hey there! You don't have to apologize for anything! Thank you so much for participating in the exchange and offering me such a wholesome reading! I'm looking forward to more exchanges with you! 😍🥰

Having said that, here's your reading:

Your FS's first impression of you 🥰

Whoaaa whaatttt! I'm screaming! You got such beautiful cards! Legit! I pulled 6 cards for you and they all have golden energy that feels very shiny and regal and royal to me. Do you have leo prominent in your chart? Anyway, let's dive right in! Your future spouse could meet you somewhere near water (a lotus lake?? Idk why lotuses stood out, a fountain, a waterfall, a swimming pool???) It's a waterbody fosho, OMG a beach??? It's a deserted place, a little isolated (or maybe you're alone when they see you from afar, just being your beautiful lovely self?). Their jaw is gonna be dropped. I feel so excited. They're gonna be in awe. Starstruck fr. They're gonna feel your aura and your energy, you have a warm and welcoming energy. They're showing me your aura, this person is gonna feel a pull towards your energy, more than your external human self. They're gonna feel like you're shining real bright, and they're blinded by your beauty (blinding lights by the Weeknd). I see you having thick eyelashes, they love your eyes. They see you having an elongated neck, silky hair (you could've dyed them btw) and a toned body. You could be wearing something flowy (like an evening gown, very cottagecore vibes). You wouldn't even notice them, they'd stare at you from top to bottom. I have 4 cards where the girl is looking away and doing her own thing, they think you look so beautiful doing whatever you are (I saw a cafe window, sipping coffee???) They wanna take you out on a coffee date, they wouldn't know how to approach you and strike a conversation though. They see you as an etheral, magical being. You could be smiling or laughing, idk they notice you being very jolly. Like your wind could be blowing, there could be violins playing in the background, your FS is so cute and dramatic. I'm hearing, "in this moment I knew I was fucked up" in a robotic voice. They see you as fierce and strong yet fragile and drop dead gorgeous at the same time. They think you're rich. "You smell rich" I heard. They'd love how you smell, if they come talk to you that is 😏😂 I got both emperor and empress cards, WHICH IS A PERFECT MATCH BTW. Wow. You're both destined to meet. No wonder this person is gonna be blown away at the first impression haha. You are surreal to them. I never write so beautifully. Maybe, they love writing poems for you. Penning down their thoughts. "She's confident - Justin Bieber 🎶"

They're gonna forget all their worries when they look at you. You're someone very lively and independent. They see you being very caring and compassionate too? That's all i got for you!

I hope this reading resonates with you. It turned out beautifully. I feel so happy delivering this message. It made me feel so positive. Maybe, that's the kind of impact you have on people.

Please don't forget to drop a feedback if the reading resonates with you! Have a good day! ✨

P.S. I'll drop a feedback for my reading in your asks. I hope that's alright 💕💕

AKAASHI KEIJI!

-first off this is like the perfect match i ship you two sm <33

-keiji has everything you’re looking for and more. he has to be all of these things especially when he’s dealing with bokuto.

-speaking of bokuto he’d literally adore you! he’d want to be friends almost immediately, asking you about you and akaashi and would basically just become your bestie lol.

-since you’re a cancer and he’s a sagittarius i think this would be such a cute combo🥺. cancers are so sweet and sags are really full of adventure. despite akaashi’s calm demeanour, he’s very full of excitement and would take you anywhere you’d like to go!!

-akaashi would love your choice of dates!! i think cafe dates would be a regular for you two since i think he’s big on like coffee and caffeine in general. you two would alternate between those and cinema dates.

-if you have a thing for old cinematic masterpieces he’d fall for you even more! but if you like new movies better than older ones he’d have no problem <3 it’s whatever you like.

-you two would be the best at keeping plants alive! you twos home would be ridden with plants that are the most liveliest and they make everything look wonderful! i also think akaashi is a lover of animals as well. adopt a pet together! they’d feel so loved and be so well taken cared of.

+

a day in the life...

you and akaashi scurried across the street, trying to get away from the pouring rain. it had ruined the date that he had planned at the park today. “i’m sorry the rain ruined our date beautiful. because you looked absolutely stunning in that dress.” he grabbed your hand and twirled you around slowly.

“thanks keiji,” you blushed as he walked you back to the car. “we can go to the bookstore or something. i’ve been craving some of their tea.”

“bookstore it is. whatever you want angel.” he sent a sweet smile your way before cranking his car.

it took about 25 minutes to get to the bookstore. you two vibing to music all of the way there. once you arrived, he opened your side of the door for you and led you towards the door, opening it for you. you always loved how much of a gentleman he was.

“go sit down and i’ll bring you some tea and a book okay? is it still chamomile with lemon and honey?” you smiled with a nod. he walked to the back of the store while you took a look at the scenery. it was very cozy and homey which is why you loved it so much. you wished to have a library in your home one day.

he soon came back with tea and a paperback book in his left hand. it looked sort of old and ragged. “what’s this?”

“devil in winter. i know you enjoy romance and i think this might peak your interest a bit.”

“thanks babe.” you leaned across to table to place a kiss onto his cheek; he moved his head slightly to the right so it could miss his cheek and reach his lips instead. “love you keiji.” you giggled before opening up the book.

“i love you more sweetheart.”

Headcanon! Class 1-A POV⬇️

One day in the dorms common room the bakusquad gathers up everyone, except Bakugo, and explain the "situation" because they are starting to get worried.

Iida: Now that we are all here!, except for Bakugo, for some reason, what is it you want to tell us?🤚

Kaminari: OK, Everyone listen up!! Blasty is starting to worry us and we decided to do something about it! ⚡

Mina: Kirishima says that he's been hearing screaming from Bakugos' dorm everytime those "people" come over! 🎀

Kirishima: It's true! And evertime I knock to make sure everything is ok he just yells at me to leave! It's super weird bro's!🦈

Mineta: You think the bastard would have the balls to have a seventhsome? Basically a threesome but with 7 people, lol An awful lot of girls are in that "group".🗑

Uraraka: Don't be gross Mineta!! This could be serious! Plus I doubt Bakugo is that type of person! ✨

Yaoyorozu: It is true, none of us know anything about these people. And now that we know that there's screaming going on in Bakugos' room.. This is worrisome to say the least.💸

Kirishima: Great then! I understand that we're all onboard then? 🦈

The class all look at eachother with the same worried look on their faces and agree to come up with a plan together to figure out whats going on. No they can't just ask Bakugo, the strangers could be forcing him to keep it a secret even though they highly doubt it but even so, they have a feeling he wouldn't tell them anyway. After agreeing on the plan to tell Bakugo that they were all going out for one day and placing cameras all around the dorm hallways and common room, they all agreed to meet up at the class and set the camera screen in the classes screen. Like the projector each class has irl All they had to do is hope that Bakugo takes the bait and instead of taking the group of strangers to his room, it happens outside of it.

Later...Btw Aizawa agreed to this as long as they didn't wake him up

Kirishima: Yo Bakubro! We're all gonna spend this Saturday at a nearby Cafe, do you mind if you stay here to watch over the dorms? 🦈

Bakugo: Whatever! Just don't take too long! And don't kill anybody with your stupidity!! 💥

Iida: Thank you for your concern but I ask that of you to be more polite next time!🤚

While Bakugo starts to scream at Iida ronot tell him what to do, Deku starts pushing Iida to the door as he look at all the others to tell them to start heading out.

Kaminari: Don't worry Blasty we'll be back in a couple of hours ok? Do whatever you what!!

They all immediately start booking it to Class 1-A as soon as Yaoyorozu closes the door behind her.

Bakugos' POV⬇️

All of the idiots from his class mysteriously headed out without any warning. He had just finished up setting up his room to watch the first episode of "Kiss her not Me" Kiss him not Me Genderbend with the Katsucrew. Seika had recommended he watch it since she had heard it was supposedly really good. And she wanted to watch it with someone.. Cottagecore was pesstering him about it for a while until he gave in. They were gonna watch it in his room until his classmates decides they weren't gonna annoy him today. So he had a change in plans that he didn't mind, considering the Tv in the common room was bigger than the screen on his laptop. As stubborn as he may have seemed, he really wanted to watch the new Anime. So he called up the Katsucrew to come as quickly as possible so they didnt waste any time. Once they were in the dorms and prepared everything in the common room, they all sat down in the couch, some on the floor in front of them and started watching the first episode.

Class 1-A POV⬇️

Class 1-A, thankfully, had a camera hidden behind the Tv. So they could see the Katsucrew prepare the common room for something. They looked like they were preparing it for a movie? To say the least they were confused, especially when they saw Bakugo..excited? They kept on watching the footage with suspense and anicipation the whole time. And to see what the crew was watching they had a camera behind them as well. To say the least it was obvious that Iida, Yaoyorozu, and Deku were the ones in charge of the cameras

Moments later passed and they were at they were at the part where Serinumo Serinuma Genderbend and Igaracha Igarachi Genderbend were watching the play together. And when they held hands...Bakugo, Henshuu, and Seika screeched like animals..

Bakugo: Just fucking hold her hand- ShE lIkEs YoU-

Seika: OMG LOOK- LOOK

Henshuu- AHHHHHGGGGHHHH!!!!

Bakugo: OMG ITS HAPPENING!!

Seika: OHHHHHH- AHHHGGGGGG!!

.....

This isnt what the class expected...., but it was the best outcome they could ever imagine.

When the Katsucrew left, Class 1-A made it their personal mission to buy Bakugo as many Anime and Manga to see him like his adorable weeb self again No they didn't tell him they were spying on him, they would all die Suffice to say, Bakugo was confused, but not upset

My first Original Hc!! Hope ya'll like it💕

1124.

Do you drink oat milk? >> This is a “how Gen Z are you?” survey, and I am not Gen Z, so this should be fun! :p I’ve had it in cafe drinks, but I’ve never had it by itself. It seems to be on the... idk, chalky side.

Has oat milk changed your life? >> Nah, I’m not into it. Macadamia milk is the tits, though.

Before oat milk, were you more of an almond milk person? >> I do like almond milk as well.

Are you interested in nut milks in general? >> Yeah! I think the whole genre is cool. It’s good to have alternatives. Of course, after saying this, I’m going to read something horrible about the nut milk industry tomorrow in the NYT or something.

Do you love Trader Joe’s? >> I do love Trader Joe’s. I go kind of apeshit in there every time we go. Also, our local TJs has a little stuffed panther named Joesy that they hide in different parts of the store and it’s fun to hunt him down. Little things, god dammit.

Do you love Trader Joe’s seasonal candles even more? >> I don’t like scented candles.

Is the pumpkin/vanilla one your jam? >> ---

Did you have a matcha phase? >> A phase, no. I just like matcha, period.

Do you love thrifting? >> I wouldn’t say that. I don’t like shopping at all, and thrift shops tend to be more disorganised and chaotic than other kinds of stores, which makes it even more stressful for me. But I appreciate being able to buy things that were pre-owned instead of contributing to the buy-new-discard-buy-new-again mill that capitalism prefers us to be on.

Do you wish you were thrifting right now? >> No???

Is what you’re currently wearing “thrifted.” >> Nope.

Do you use the word “aesthetic” as a noun? >> Yeah, like “for the aesthetic” or “that’s his aesthetic”. (Is that recently-coined usage? Didn’t realise that, I thought it was always a noun.)

Do you buy things because “aesthetic.” >> I mean, I do buy things because they match a certain vibe that I like to have around me, or because they match something else I have... 

Do you consider using only lowercase letters your aesthetic? >> No, it’s just the way I type (when not taking surveys). It doesn’t seem important for my purposes.

Did you have a vegan phase? >> I was raised vegan...

What about gluten free? >> No, I don’t have a gluten intolerance so there was no reason for me to eat gluten-free.

Do you like fast casual vegan restaurants like By Chloe? >> I’ve never heard of that, and I’m not sure I’ve ever been to a fast-casual vegan restaurant at all.

Do you say “this is sending me.” >> Yes.

Do you say “love that for me.” >> No.

Do you say “mood.” >> All the time.

Do you own fairy lights? >> Yep, I’ve got a string of them over my bed. I keep forgetting to replace the battery, though.

Do you have a disposable camera? >> Nope. Have those made a comeback?!

Do you have a polaroid picture wall of some kind? >> No.

Do you own a tea kettle? >> Well, yes...

Do you drink tea before bed? >> Sometimes. We have several varieties of Sleepytime (I really like the peach one), for example. It’s just nice to have a cup of tea while lounging in bed reading or browsing tumblr before settling in for sleep.

Do you own glass straws because the metal ones kind of gross you out because you can’t tell if they are clean or not? >> I’ve never seen a glass straw, didn’t even know that was a thing. I just... don’t use straws, tbh. I don’t care for them.

Have you made a TikTok? >> I have an account so I can use the app and save favourites and send tiktoks to Sparrow, but I don’t post on it.

Do you know what your “FYP” on TikTok is? >> Yeah, the neverending feed you’re greeted with when you open the app.

Are you currently rewatching “Gossip Girl”? >> I’ve never seen that.

Do you have anxiety? >> I don’t have an anxiety disorder.

Do you identify as an ambivert? >> No.

Do you have a YouTube channel? >> No, just an account for interacting with other people’s videos.

Is there actually a video on it? >> ---

Do you own airpods? >> No.

Can you not live without them? >> ---

Have you cried today? >> Not today, no.

Do you feel guilty about buying stuff on Amazon but use it anyway? >> Nah, I just don’t use Amazon. I don’t really have to, after all, I have other options. If I did have to for some reason, though (and there are definitely reasons why people might have to depend on Amazon -- they’ve literally set themselves up that way, it’s a fucking trap and that’s part of what’s so galling about the whole thing), I sure as hell wouldn’t let anyone try to guilt-trip me about it.

Do you feel guilty for shopping at Brandy Melville because it’s problematic? >> I don’t know what or who that is.

Have you ever eaten at a Sweetgreen? >> Never heard of it.

Could you eat Sweetgreen everyday? >> ---

Do you NOT have a Facebook? >> I didn’t have one for a while but I eventually made one so people could contact me through it if they had to. I don’t post on it and I really hate even having the account, but that’s the constant dilemma when something is so insidiously ubiqitous. Do I participate in this thing and deal with the cognitive dissonance so I don’t miss out on connections, or do I opt out and deal with those consequences? There is no right answer, there’s only the one that you can live with.

Do you call school “Zoom University”? >> ---

Do you get “Sunday Scaries”? >> ???

Are you afraid of Mercury in retrograde? >> Of course not. It’s not supposed to be frightening in the first place, but the memery around it has both simplified and exaggerated how it works.

Do you make life choices based on astrology? >> I don’t really make life choices, period, lol. What choices do I have to make? What to eat for dinner? My life is really simplified.

Do you have less than 10 photos on your Instagram grid? >> I don’t have an Instagram.

Do you Facetime more than you actually call your friends? >> ---

Do you know what Cottagecore is? Are you into it? >> I have a workable understanding of what it is, but I wouldn’t say I’m into it. I like the idea of living in a more naturally “connected” and less hectic environment, of course, but I don’t have a blog about it or anything.

Is your go to pose in pictures a sideways peace sign? >> I don’t have a go-to pose because I’m rarely in photos at all. But I have done the sideways peace sign before, it’s fun.

Do you say “we love” when referring to something only you love? >> No. If I say “We” it’s because I’m including the Inworlders.

And lastly, are you always tired? >> Nah. I bet I sure the fuck would be if I had to do half the shit my peers have to do (particularly in the realm of employment).

4, 8, 9, 12, 13, 19, 35, 36, 43, 59, 67, and 98 for the sweetheart ask! 😊💜

Omg so many questions!! haha But thanks so much for asking @astarkey!! :D These were interesting lol

4: What kind of self care is your favorite to do? Retail therapy... lmao Probably a bad idea when you ain’t got a JOB tho!! haha dying

8: Best trip you’ve ever been on? In January 2018 I stayed with my sister when she still lived in Virginia and hung around Charlottesville for about a month. lol We ate Chopt and Noodles and Co all the time and I gained like 10 lbs from all the Japanese pan noodles I ate. :P And then at the beginning of Feb 2018 she and I traveled by train from VA to NYC in the middle of winter and froze our asses off for 3 days. But I got to see Wicked on Broadway, and had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square twice. I need to go back to NYC some day so I can go to that Serendipity cafe and get a frozen hot chocolate and to visit Central Park. lol

Ask Me: Sweetheart Asks

9: Favorite thing about your room? Usually I would say my large window because I love the sunlight. But lately it’s been so damn hot that I have to keep my curtains closed. I also like how it’s kinda coming together more ever since I started redecorating a bit. I bought a folding screen that I’m using as a headboard, and I got some new blankets and pillows for my bed. I have some houseplants too that make it feel more adult in here despite all the stuffed animals I refuse to get rid of. :P

12: Who do you look up to? I kinda look up to the author Victoria Schwab. She’s just so knowledgeable about the writing craft and even though she’s a hot mess of anxiety I really love the way she views and talks about stories. Y’all should totally watch this lecture she gave two years ago. LINK: In Search of Doors. It’s so good!! I need to watch the rest of her “No Write Way” series.

13: Favorite poet? ummm... haha I don’t really have one... I’ve never really enjoyed poetry. lol a crime possibly considering my BA in English. :P

19: Favorite old film? I haven’t watched too many movies made prior to like 1980 tbh... lol But the oldest film I watched all the way through and really enjoyed was An Affair to Remember (1957). Cary Grant was everything in that movie!!

35: What makes you happy? Right now a decent meal and to finish the next chapter of my fic would make me very happy. lol Listening to “Get Free” on repeat makes me pretty happy lately too. Also reading good fanfic in bed.

36: Imagine your ideal life, the life you wish to make, what will that look like? lmfao idk honestly at this point I’d just love to have a little house somewhere. A family of my own would be nice. Maybe a dog.

43: Would you be a fairy, a mermaid, a vampire, a siren, or an angel? Fairy for sure!! Although I kinda want the best of both worlds, so maybe a mermaid fairy hybrid. lol I’m definitely a vampire irl though. :P I haven’t seen daylight in ages.

59: What’s your favorite kind of aesthetic? Lately I’ve really been feeling cottagecore vibes. I need them. Also anything summery and free. Lots of teal and orange. Also houseplants.

67: Do you have anything you do to physically comfort yourself when you’re sad? Such as a favorite blanket? Or a relaxing bath? If I’m really sad I’ll just lay in my bed and listen to music or watch my faves to cheer myself up. Podcasts have been really helpful lately. If I’m stressed sad I might go for a walk.

98: How’s your day/night going? Feeling kinda blah today. I’ve been so bored lately. Might just watch more umbrella academy and work on crocheting my blanket. Thinking of opening an Etsy shop but idk that my knits are good enough.

ur so right ! vernon IS an egghead & a whole ass clown & can be so weird sometimes,, like the things this man does baffle me gdkgjk but i love his weirdness and how he's so comfortable being his authentic self and doesnt care abt what other ppl may think of him,,, i rlly admire that quality sm ! fashion-wise he's different for sure, but i love how he coordinates colors ! he likes playing with complementary colors (mostly w/ his beanies) & tying his whole look together with color (pt. 1) - 🌻

like sometimes his outfits are so out of this world (team rocket) but he manages to somehow make them work with the smallest details like matching the colors of his socks to his shirt or beanie,, truly a fashion icon! THE B/W PHOTO its one of my fave vernon looks omg he just looks like such a dude™ and i love his hair wavy!! :/ yea im pretty sure jeonghan doesnt like long hair bc some ppl (even interviewers) were like “oh there’s a GIRL in this group” (pt. 2) - 🌻

i work at a local cafe ! it’s mostly a good time bc i’m a barista there so i get to make drinks which is rlly fun!! ooh what ice cream flavor is ur favorite? i like cookie dough! ooh i’ll be sure to check out some of those tracks, thank u ! 🥰(also u use apple music,, we love an intellectual) i dont listen to too many bands, but i like the glass animals & the 1975! but i love mitski!! ‘be the cowboy’ was so good 🥺and i also love lorde! (pt. 3? idk anymore) - 🌻

ooh my summer aes is basically ymmday’s follow version lol i love those pink tinted images of the boys just lying in fields of flowers since i too would love to be in a flowy pink dress sprawled out in a bed of flowers in the countryside,, i like dusty pinks & blues and i love lavender/lilac ! i also love the cottagecore aes if u kno what i mean !! hope this helps ! sorry for so many asks ahhh but im off to work soon, luv u & have a nice day ! 💘(pt. 4 i think?) - 🌻

ok first of i LOVE how u sent me so many asks n forgot how many u sent ur so funny i love u hgiufdhgiufdhg ur so sweet u sound so kindhearted too i 🥺

but YES vernon is just an intellectual who has taste only the most fashionable can understand hehe, and YES ugh my fave hair colors are brown/blonde streaked and black hair…. genuinely my faves ever but omg when his hair was like blue? that was so cute i loved that so much 🥺

and yeah omg its like long hair=girl so they just made it so weird for jh i HATE it! bc i genuinely loved it and liked how they had a guy w long hair in the group it made it fun and not boring yk… like not all the members had the same hair length!

a local cafe?? thats so cute that just sounds so ideal! local shops always seem fun to work at and feels very comforting:o is it like that?

my fave ice cream flavor would be … I HAVE A LOT i think its bc i work at an ice cream place so i try so many but i like oreo ice cream… and cherry ice cream like cherry garcia from ben and jerrys? so good.. so good…hehe
