faantine replied to your photoset: Unbearably pretentious on instagram? Probably....

alix this looks like a character moodboard

Needs more walking stick, theatre & tea to be entirely in character, but I appreciate the aesthetic. 

[cosettefauchelevent]

faantine replied to your post: fyi i am still awake and still absolutely living...

truly the dream

like i was fully expecting to stay up to the point where the conservative landslide looked inevitable and then going to bed miserable so this is marvelous

like paul nuttall just came third in his constituency, amber rudd might lose her seat...this is content well worth the all nighter

childermass (👀), bel rowley and emma

Childermass is such A Dude, mad respect for him for putting up with all the nonsense he goes through in JS & Mr N. Never forget he was the only guy John Uskglass deemed worthy of a face-to-face chat for like several hundred years. What a guy. Still offended he wasn’t played by Sacha Dhawan though (sorry Enzo, love u really)

Bel Rowley is my queen and my hero and if u criticise her in any way I will fight u

Emma, my problematic fave, my bossy bi af princess, please let Gugu Mbatha-Raw play you before she’s too old 

SEND ME A CHARACTER AND I’LL TELL YOU MY OPINION OF THEM

[percybitchshelley]

mango! black cherry! mocha! green tea! strawberry! peach! cotton candy!

when and why did you start your blog?

WAY BACK WHEN in ye olde 2009 i ditched good old mibba for this place, even though nothing about tumblr screamed “creative writing/fan fiction site,” BUT my friends all came here so i followed. and i’m p sure i’m the only one out of my gang who is still here on this godforsaken website l o l

four words that describe you?

right now the ones that come to mind are.. like.... Salty Girl Is Done

ideal weather conditions?

chilly with clear skies!!!! a few fluffy clouds are permissible, encouraged even

i just love simultaneously feeling cold air and sunshine on my skin, i like to have it both ways

favorite flavors of ice cream?

cookie dough is my usual go-to but i recently tried a new bluebell flavor called “bride’s cake” that’s like, almond and amaretto with little cake pieces and it was. my fave. i also really like birthday cake flavor?? basically anything with chunks of cake or dough... im sorry if that’s disgusting lmao

a language you wish you could speak?

like..... so many. i wish i spoke spanish, rather than only being able to read and write in it... i wish i could learn german, and korean, and greek.. i’d even learn latin if i ever had the energy

how do you relax?

usually under my covers, on my side, my laptop propped up sideways against my knee, watching something funny like Golden Girls. sometimes a form of dessert or pizza is involved

three places you want to travel to?

IDK if this really counts but i would give anything to be able to travel back to britain and just. chill there for a long time. i miss it a lot

but!! aside from that i’ve always wanted to visit east asia, especially japan and korea... i’d love to visit greece, or egypt, or jerusalem... i’ve always wanted to visit lithuania too bc that’s where the largest chunk of my ancestry comes from. i’d love to go pm anywhere and everywhere, though

[aggressivelyfloral]

hey folks!

If any of you follow Annie’s blog (faantine/razkholnikov) make sure to go and follow again at faatine. There was an unfortunate accidental blog deletion but she is still on tumblr!

Rule: List the top ten songs you are listening to nowadays and tag (ten) mutuals

WHICH I DID but as always it’s ten out of like fifty, also if you asked our system blog the answers would be different, although kids did get a look-in on this bc I really like some of the stuff they’re obsessively listening to atm

1. Love They Say - Tegan and Sara (mirliflore won’t stop listening to this. our baby<3)

2. Dame Binned Cow - Stuart Warwick (can only find this live but it’s still incredible. y’all I am so INSANE about this man’s album it’s UNBELIEVABLE music)

3. Suicide Blonde - INXS (of its time, but then so am I. ugh it’s gr8)

4. Here For You - Jean Michel Jarre feat. Gary Numan (I will be goth club trash until the day I die)

5. Neglected Space - Imogen Heap (Scion here is especially nuts about this)

6. Heavenly Creatures - Wolf Alice (DEAR GOD this band are good. this entire list could have been songs of theirs I’m obsessed with rn)

7. Hideaway - I Heart Sharks (killer summer indie, please ignore this inexplicable hipster tennis video)

8. Shadows - Spectre (some old school EBM, a ridiculous video, also loving their song 1985)

9. Save The Day - College feat. Nola Wren (mirliflore & I both adore this, a surprisingly murdery video though)

10. Whatever You Want - Cold Showers (still absolutely obsessed)

does your gf have tumblr?

She does indeed.@faantinePlease don’t scare her away, I like her a lot. 

[mygirlishdays]

@faantine had the best eurovision spam tonight. I appreciate you very much

[whenharrymetsallys]

@faantine hdgahdkkdg it's this story about a time this lady went to see the original performances of richard iii with richard burbage and liked it so much she invited burbage to her rooms afterwards but only if he was in character (weird as fuck tbh). but shakespeare got wind of it and went earlier and was let in. when he was in there (presumably doing his thing) burbage came along and was pissed off but shakespeare apparently popped his head out of the window and told him to leave because 'william the conqueror had reigned before richard iii'

1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 35+6 and 47!!

2: What are you currently reading?

I’m tentatively reading ‘A Clockwork Orange,’ which I’m finding kind of hard going, but I’m getting there!!

4: What was the last book you added to your tbr?

I just added a TON of random children’s fantasy from Goodreads suggestions (Are you sensing a theme here)

5: Which book did you last re-read? 

I’m trying not to re-read at the moment because I have SO MUCH to read already, but I listen to at least a couple of the Harry Potter audiobooks every year or so, I just finished Order of the Phoenix.

8: Paperback or hardcover? Why?

I’m a sucker for a fancy hardback, but I’m a paperback gal at heart.

35: Name a book you consider to be terribly underrated 

I LOVE ‘Vernon God Little,’ which won the Man Booker then kind of fell off the radar, I think? But it’s an INCREDIBLE book, it’s grimy and funny and fast-paced and just THE BEST, read it!!

Ditto ‘Skin Lane,’ which I picked up at random in a bookshop in Hay on Wye and fell in love with, it’s a slow burner about a middle aged man who becomes obssessed with a teenage boy and its heart-breaking.

36: Name a book you consider to be terribly overrated

I already answered this but then I remembered how much I hate ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’

47: What do you do to get out of a reading slump?

Audiobooks and plays are great because they’re really satisfying but there’s also a level of instant gratification which is GREAT when you’ve lost motivation to get through big novels

[na0art]

I was tagged by @faerie-flowers. Thanks!

What is a big goal you are working towards?

Right now, I am working towards becoming a librarian. And also to make an extraordinary boy I have feelings for to have feelings for me as well. But I know there isn’t much I can do, except not going full freak.

What’s your aesthetic?

It varies a lot! One day, I like the forest dark witch aestetic, the next I am more into cyberpunk hacker and the following, I am into horror goth stuff with black and white clothings inspired by cartoons from the 30′s. In any case, my aesthetic is dark. That’s all I can be certain of ^^

Do you collect anything?

I used to collect carrollian books, but now, I don’t have money for them, sadly...

What is a topic you’re always up to talk about.

Lewis Carroll and his works! Also, at the moment, I am interested in satanism. I wish I could talk about it more.

Pet Peeves.

Passive agressive behaviour and people who gives the silent treatment. Basically, I hate all form of pettiness.

Good advice to give?

Don’t ever imagine that you can change others, or that they will act the way you want them to. They never will.

Recommend three songs:

Wanderland - Season of Tears

The Mouse and the Model - The Dresden Dolls

Waiting for you - Akira Yamaoka

A food that’s nasty in your opinion:

Brussels Sprouts ARE nasty. I can’t even smell them :(
