Little Ways to Love Your Life

I love performing little rituals to enhance my life. It's infinitely satisfying and it reminds me why living is so beautiful, on days when I start viewing the world through a pessimistic lens. This is your reminder that there's so much beauty in the mundane, just start looking for it :)

Here's some things I do that make me love my life just a little bit more:

Wake with the sun:

There is nothing better than opening your eyes to golden sunshine on your face. The golden hour has this quality that makes you feel like royalty.

Move your body:

Give your body a dose of endorphins by doing some exercise! Go for a hot girl walk, hit the gym for a sweaty HIIT sesh, or just groove to some Just Dance. I promise it will make you feel like you can conquer the world.

Smell sweet:

Put on a playlist and sing as you shower. Lather yourself up with sweet-smelling soap, and after you step out of the bath, slick on some vanilla scented moisturizer, and perfume. Don't forget deodorant! Make sure to stick with organic products because chemicals can irritate your skin.

Food = love:

A full stomach is a happy person. Make yourself a cup of coffee, and a hearty breakfast. Take note of the way milk swirls into the dark coffee, how the egg sizzles in the pan. Allow yourself to just exist in the moment, where you are taking care of your mind and body.

Self-love:

While I eat healthy 90% of the time, on days I really need to feel excited, I go buy a pain au chocolat from my nearest artisan bakery. It's one of my favourite foods to indulge in and it always makes me smile. Likewise, buy yourself something nice. It could be a new shirt, a bouquet of flowers, or designer chocolates. Indulge in yourself. You deserve it.

Look at beautiful things:

I don't mean window shopping or aesthetic Instagram pictures. Go out and observe. Look at the shape of the clouds, and how the trees dance in the wind. Pet that cute dog. Smell the wildflowers. Disconnect from the online world, even if it's for half an hour. Give yourself that much time.

Take pictures:

Screw retail therapy, taking aesthetic pictures is my new thing. Take so many pictures. The way sunlight filters in through your window, a cat stretching, a close-up of a flower, your Starbucks mocha latte. Unleash your inner photographer.

Pursue your hobbies:

When I'm down I play the piano or whip out my glue gun and craft my worries away. Doing something you love instantly puts your brain in a good mood. It could be tennis, gardening, quilling, birdwatching. Whatever you love. Do it.

Restrict your social media:

I was unknowingly comparing myself to all the girls I saw on Instagram and it was so detrimental to my self-esteem. I ended up deleting the app. I'm currently planning on reinstalling it by July next year. Delete the apps that do not make you feel good. You will have more time to dedicate to work, hobbies, family and relationships.

Finding joy in the mundane is the most healing thing you can do. Make your routine special, and switch it up once in a while. Don't shy away from your dream life, because you DESERVE it. You deserve EVERYTHING you ever want, okay? Now go get it. xoxo

explaining my blorbo associations pt2: jules who i do not draw often im so sorry u look like that babygirl

song: i actually... have never made a jules playlist LMAO my jules brainrot is so academic i could spit theories for him but not songs. so i had to dive into my spotify likes and find something. goldilocks spot is actually from a very old jolyne playlist i made but i think it also fits jules. to me it's a song about being painfully aware of how... average? not-outstanding? just there? you are and the angst that comes with it, the bitterness towards other people (in jules' case, for not seeing him as who he knows himself to be—a noble). but there's also a stubborness and pride that keeps you from fully confronting those feelings/that dilemma and finding peace within it, which is fitting for the persistent turbulence within jules... a lot of this is my (quite liberal?) interpretation tho so yeah

color & object: purple is the color of royalty and lavender is pretty and calming and healing. quite the nice set of descriptions for someone like jules :)

animal: i dont kin assign animals often so this was hard. but i chose raven as a parallel to doves... because jules' dove of happiness was/is rosemarine, and because jules is almost like rose's shadow in many ways... also ravens are kinda bad omens i feel like for all the gentleness jules shows he is also obviously capable and willing to do terrible things, he's selfish and prideful and even a little greedy... and lol i think the negativity also fits some of his self-image

drink: tea! of course! what else would i put

aesthetic: i think classic dark academia with all its elite-ness and occult-ness and general fucked up-ness would be a very average jules genre. smack him in a dark academia plot a la secret history and he's right at home lol. even his fallen noble status makes for an interesting pov in a dark academia story. the genre's potential for class analysis and commentary too is jules de ferrier

other: i think it was a fic which was about jules and perfume which made me think about this association... lavender was the scent too so that is another explanation to the above lol. as for the shadows again it's cos of his duo thing with rosemarine but also everything he does is kind of... in the shadows... he has engaged in shady shit (gang moment???) and is often lurking/observing situations (as the right hand man yk) and also just him looking out for the people he cares about even if in incredibly convoluted ways (see: rosemarine and jules' deal with the thugs who wanted to beat him up when they first arrived at lacombrade). he does the dirty work in the dark or smth like that. tbh there are a lot of oppositions with rosejules, the light/shadow thing is pretty on the nose i think but my favorite is probably the feminine/masculine. (disclaimer thisis an idea spitball Only so pls do not sue me for incorrect use of terminology; im sorry feminist theory i promise ill read more of you BUT a lot of the ideas kind of branch out of 2nd wave ideas/concepts i believe)

because publicly rose seems to take the patriarchal role as the superintendent (ie. being the disciplinarian, having power, being the symbol of the institution) while jules assumes a more matriarchal role as advisor, someone more approachable and "kinder" than the patriarch... then it all gets skewed because of auguste's presence, so they actually switch with rose being "feminized" and jules being "masculinized" but anyway LOL i have many thoughts on this specific kind of. feminist/queer inspired reading of rosejules

i hate his ass so much cos it's so fucking hard to break his character down in a comprehensible way. the thesis topic thing is only partly a joke. i genuinely think with the depths i am going to look at this i can find something in him or maybe im just delusional lmao i probably am

[spongeofaces]

Struggled a bit with this one, so sorry if the results aren't what you wanted :(

---

I match twstgarden with...

🐉 Malleus Draconia 🐉

-:-:-:-

Doesn't matter how introverted you are, Malleus converses the same with everyone (excluding Lilia, Sebek, Silver) anyway. He also isn't the most social person, (doesn't get out much) so he doesn't know awkwardness from confidence.

A big quality time guy, and maybe physical touch? Gentle giant.

He'll support you from the frontlines, or the sidelines, just tell him what he can do. But remember to give him some support too, it aint easy being a lonely prince.

He's patient, so open up in your own time. He's happy to go at whatever pace you set for a relationship. Real respectful.

Knowledgeable in older topics.

This guy knows nothing about technology. Showing him a video game will result in many curious enquiries. It may take him a little bit to learn the ways of gaming, but he'll treasure any time you spend teaching him.

Again with technology, make him a music playlist. He'll adore it.

Honestly, this guy would go just about anywhere, as long as you invite him. He knows plenty of abandoned places to explore, and would be ecstatic to research them together with you! Oh, please let him tell you about gargoyles, he's obsessed.

Lots of dates! Be prepared to visit a lot of new places, cafes, shops, parks, museums, basically everywhere datey. Oh, but wherever you go, it'll probably be pretty empty. For good or bad, Malleus's prescence scared any other visitors off. But, that just means more space for the two of you.

Other options: Vil, Leona and Riddle.

Gar Face Gabe - Antagonist of Book 3. Rival pirate captain that might have been a tiny bit corrupted by dark magic and working for someone else. Got a thin scar across his face from Cassandra a couple years earlier and is a pissy baby about it.

Extra Stuff

A little bit on the different regions in Eltya that we see in the books

Dinvirty: Tris and Kaye's kingdom. Nestled in one of the biggest mountain ranges of Eltya, almost always in a deep blanket of snow with freezing temperatures year round. They are they protectors of Keyon's Gate, the one thing keeping the Witch Queen imprisoned. Based on the Vikings and the Roman Empire.

Goke: Snow and Lan's kingdom. Not far from Dinvirty on the other side of the mountains, with a slightly more temperate climate. Mainly deep woods with some lakes and small rivers. A little bit less colder than Dinvirty, but still gets frequent snow and rain with very cool temperatures year round. Based on the Medieval Gothic Era.

The High Seas: Cass and Erica's region. A lawless land in the waters surrounding Eltya, including the lush but deadly tropical islands surrounding the main continent. Very hot with wild and rough seas, filled with very large and dangerous sea monsters. Based on the Golden Age of Piracy.

Dryklan: Max and Monty's kingdom. Settled in the second biggest mountain range of Eltya, the mountain mines filled with the purest ore and finest metals. Other than mountains there is the forests, one of which spreads into Greyvenhill. Temperate region on the warmer side, with lots of rain. Based on late 1700s/early 1800s French Aristocracy.

Farkle: Elliot and Hestia's kingdom. The fallen and long lost kingdom, overgrown with deep and cold pine forest and dangerous magical creatures, with villages on the outskirts. Temperate region but on the colder side, with frequent snow and wet weather. Based on Mid 1800s English countryside/The Last Russian Dynasties.

Greyvenhill: Sapphire and Raven's kingdom. Mostly in the middle of the continent and relatively flat with grasslands throughout and swamps towards the coast. Trading hub of the continent, with the most river and coastline out of the other kingdoms. Very hot with just enough rain to keep grass and trees alive, more humid towards the coast. Based on Authruian/Robin Hood Medieval era with a touch of Scottish/Celtic in there.

The Under: The Afterlife and Underworld. Desolate and devoid of life, everything down there is hellbent on making you suffer. Mortal souls rot away there until who they were in life is gone and they become demons themselves that serve the Dark King. Unbearably hot and dry. Based on Goblin Valley in Utah and the underground caves in New Mexico.

The Sands of Doom: The Witch Queen's imprisonment for roughly a thousand years. Completely devoid of life, with nothing but sand and tall thick cliffs on both sides. The only exit is a small gap in the mountains, closed off by the high wall called Keyon's Gate, guarded by the fiercest warriors in Dinvirty.

Other things:

Triveya has a pet dragon! His name is Torch, he's dark red, and he's basically a puppy with claws and teeth that breathes fire

Triveya also lives in a giant tree library complete with a fireplace and living space up top with a glass roof. She hundreds of books, mostly on magic

Hestia has servants that she made out of fire in her castle, because she got lonely and couldn't do the upkeep of the castle on her own. There's Embers, the genderfluid butler with their tiny lizard companion Coals, also made of fire. Then theres Flicker and Ashes, the cook and the maid.

Raven has a big family back in his home town. He has two big brothers both of which are in the army with him, and three little sisters (triplets). His parents own the tavern and inn of the small town, and his mom is the best cook for miles. Yes Raven is a total Momma's boy, that's why we love him.

Sapphire is based on a combination of Buttercup from Princess Bride, Anna from Frozen, and Giselle from Enchanted. (plus a little bit of me!)

I wante the vibes of Handsome and the Beast (Elliot and Hestia's book) to be Beauty and the Beast meets Anastasia with a sprinkle of the 12 Dancing Princesses in there

I want the vibes of Sleeping Beauty's Bodyguard (Raven and Sapphire's book) to be Maleficent meets Princess Bride

Elliot has a ten year old sister named Daisy. She's very playful and imaginative and Elliot is teaching her how to read

Snow seems like she's got it together and she's the one in the group with a braincell, but she's actually a dumbass and just chooses not to use the braincells she has sometimes. She's clever but she's also dumb as rocks

Lan is the main holder of the group braincell and they DANGEROUSLY close to losing it

Elliot's favorite book is the Eltyan equivalent of Twelfth Night

🦢 anon is backkkk

I saw how u said the thing abt fl being good for edits and stuff and THE MAN WOULD BE SO SO GOOD FOR HER. IT LITERALLY FITS SO HARD OMG. EVERYTHING ABT THAT SONG IS JUST SCREAMING FL.

also that’s one scene talking abt the flowers in chapter 2, there was that thing abt lillies and tulips and I’m guessing that white lillies obviously symbolise William but tulips are different colours so idk which one exactly symbolises fl

there’s three main colours I think they would be.

pink for confidence and beauty

Purple for royalty (I found the original version and I saw that fl was originally gonna have more royal origins but u changed her to a grand duke’s daughter which is still pretty high up there. I just wanna add that I think it’s really cool how she’s kinda socially superior to William but form what I see, she still feels inferior to him or at least sees him as competition. Counts are lower than Dukes and Marquis, I think the order is Emperor, king, grand duke, duke, Marquis, count, viscount and I forgot the others.)

oh yeah and red for irresistible love or lust. (Don’t judge I think fl would be hot as hell like move over William it’s my turn)

idk if not naming the colour was intentional or not but ur seriously a literary genius omg

sorry for rambling I just really really love the fic and I can’t wait for the next chapters 😞 can’t wait to see fl grow as a person and I really like ur writing style. It feels like I’m reading a period romance novel

AW THIS WHOLE THING WAS SO SWEET DW ABT RAMBLING I ENJOYED READING THIS

THE MAN IS LITERALLY MY FAVOURITE TAYLOR SONG EVER AND I SHOULD ADD IT TO THE FIC PLAYLIST IF I HAVENT ALREADY. THE LYRICS ARE VERY RELATABLE 😭

tbh I didn’t put that much thought into the tulip. I was torn between whether to even include that line or not but I think the colour should be up to interpretation. All of them suit really well but I think it just depends on the character aesthetic. My idea for fl is both like reds and dark shades but also can be light colours like pink and white. If ur fl like purple then the colour can be purple. I remember reading somewhere that purple represents wealth bc of how difficult it was to get as a dye.

THE SIMPING FOR FL IS SO FUNNY 😭 I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT BUT I AINT COMPLAINING

Also period romance novel is too big of a compliment for me 🤭🤭

Dark Royalty Core Playlist

you've fallen into the starry night ✧ 

I enjoy royalty core playlists the most but have added others as well. Enjoy romanticizing maths homework(or something hopefully less headache-ry) to the tunes ❤

Dark Academia/Royalty core playlist

Here’s a playlist to live out your bridgerton fantasies of running through empty castle hallways while it rains; corset tight and your billowing dress cascading behind you.
