heyy^^ could I ask for a romantic match up with a haikyuu boy? ://)
I'm a girl and use she/they pronouns (but I prefer they/them), I'm 18 and I'm demi- & pansexual.
I'm an entp/intp and I'd say I'm a open minded and kinda funny person. I tend to be extremely shy when I'm not comfortable with people but when I'm with people I trust I'm the most extrovert person in the room.
When people annoy me or hurt people I love I can get damn mad in seconds.
Others say I'm very loyal and a good listener. They also see me as responsible (and I dont understand why, because I act kinda childish sometimes)
If I'm interested in something I can lose myself in it really quickly.
I really like science (especially chemistry & astronomy) and video games and my hobbies are skying, skating, volleyball and cooking.
My favourite song changes from time to time but some of my all time favourites are video games (by the young professionals) and serotonin (by girl in red)
Thank you so much and have a nice day!
A mystery person looking for love chose me as their matchmaker! Let's see what they're getting...

You've been destined to be with none other than charismatic Oikawa Tooru himself! Wanna learn more?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
- First of all, you two make such a cute duo [jealous] </3
- BUT LET'S GET INTO IT! First of all, getting to know each other. You're shy with strangers, right? Oikawa's perfect for that! He's such a lively and extroverted boy, so he tends to start conversations with people (and keep then going).
- The way he first notices you, it could've been anything. Maybe he saw you sitting alone reading, maybe you were discussing practice with your volleyball teammates (if you're in the club) or maybe he just overheard you making a really funny joke with a friend.
- Whatever it was, it caught his interest so he approached you once before his volleyball practice started. You were caught off guard because 1) wait omg no he's talking to me and 2) omg it's oikawa? Not blushy kind of shy, you just weren't expecting his company.
- He looked so jolly (and for what?) while asking you questions to get to know you. Your name, class, extracurricular activities, mutual friends possibly? He rambled on and on to prolong his time with you that he didn't sense Iwaizumi walking up behind him.
- "Y'know that one old chemistry teacher? I had her this morning and sh- OUCH??"
- Yeah, Iwaizumi used Volleyball-to-the-headā„¢, it was super effective. Needless to say, he had to leave but before leaving, he waved you goodbye with a huge grin.
- After this first meeting, you two started to interact more and more often. After getting to know you, he discovered that not only are you nice and really friendly, you're genuinely so funny and being around is never a bore.
- You two have the same childish humour, and sometimes it's like you two mentally communicate elaborate bullshit ideas every 2 seconds (please leave iwaizumi alone, he'll die if Oikawa and Oikawa's partner in crime start to mess around)
- He likes to take you out on nature walks or stargazing, and if he's feeling funky, he'll take you to an arcade. He'll try to impress you by attempting to win a 10k token plushie (he didn't succeed in the end, instead, you won a duck plushie and gave it to him).
- And it's not surprising that at this rate, he started to really like you <3
- And after a while, he confessed his feelings to you. He didn't leave out the parts on how seeing you walk through the school gate always made him feel giddy, how he would giggle when he reads your messages, how gazing at your face while you do your homework in his room always sent his heart into a frenzy. He really poured his heart out.
- And let's just say, you two hit it off >:]
- Now let's start with the adorable stuff <3
- Ok first of all, TREATS YOU LIKE A GODDESS AND WILL NEVER DISRESPECT YOU. SERIOUSLY!!! You mean so much to him so he wouldn't even imagine hurting you in anyway :(
- LOVES taking walks with you in parks and around ponds. Will hold your hand the entire time (kisses the back of your palm before doing it <3)
- PLANETARIUM DATES!!! If I'm not wrong, it's canon he likes aliens, and you like astronomy right? Perfect sense to buy two tickets and spend your day in a planetarium together. His eyes would be like saucers the entire time and everytime 5 minutes, he goes, "Oh my god Y/N-chan, look at these!!! :0"
- During school days, will frequently invite you over to his house to spend time together, play video games, watch silly videos, watch reality TV together or volleyball matches when he feels like it.
- Speaking of volleyball, he'll bring you with him to practice! Will wink at you continuously and shows off his skills (pls cheer for him). If he's up to it, he'll play a 1-1 with you in the local neighbourhood park on your way back home.
- THINKS YOU'RE SO COOL WHEN SKATING!!! YOU COULD BE FALLING OFF AND HE'LL GO, "Omg Y/N you're so awesome :D!". PLEASE TEACH HIM TOO!
- Even the basics are enough for him. Also if you hold his hands while guiding him, chances are he'll start to blush. You're just so impressive and the praise you're giving him is too much for his heart to handle <3
- Ok ok, we all know Oikawa has a problem with limiting himself and always overworks himself. He's aware of that, but he doesn't think anyone wants to hear him talk about it.
- Except, you're there for him. It takes him a while to open up but, after he does, he never goes one day without thanking you. For reassuring, for scolding him when he needs it, for caressing him whenever he gets injured. For being there for him :]
- In return, he'll shower you with so much affection and loving words. He'll always check up on you, whether or not something bad happens.
- Reminds you of things if you forget them! You lost your notebook? He'll help you rewrite your notes and lessons. You have an important assignment due tomorrow? He'll help you with it, even if it means half-assing it. He's always there to assist you and make your life easier, just like how you made him happier.
- In conclusion, Oikawa would fly to the moon and back just to see you happy <3.

*DASHES INTO THE ROOM, STRANGELY PHYSICAL HEARTS SPILLING OUT OF MY ARMS*
I HEARD ASH NEEDED LOVE TODAY AND Iā€™M HERE TO TELL YOU 25 REASONS YOU ARE INCREDIBLE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT. SO HERE WE GO, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER, 25 SUPER COOL AWESOME ASH THINGS THAT MAKE MY DAY BRIGHTER
1) your blog name is just!!! Really cool!!! To this day, I donā€™t know why, itā€™s just a daily source of giddiness. Love me a blog with a really cool play on word name and hey howdy hey look what we got here, a super cool blog with a super cool name
2) you are so amazingly kind??? And incredibly involved with your readers??? You are the sort of writer I thought existed when I was a smol sheltered bean and lo and behold one of my first outings I find a super awesome cool and interactive writer who cares??? So much about what sheā€™s putting out into the world, and how it affects others??? You are both an inspiration and a gift??
3) thanksgiving lives in my head rent free, day after day, minute after minute. Catch me sweeping up popcorn at work and all of a sudden my brain is starting my cinematic presentation of stuff being spooned onto a pitifully empty plate, and the warmth of the holidays being stolen away by the things that lurk in grey eyes :)
4) you and your blog have (has? Grammar. Bleh) been such a source of wisdom, and itā€™s just wonderful. I know I canā€™t be the only one. You share so many wonderful resources, and you *care* so much I just. Yeah. Youā€™re incredible. I cannot even begin to explain how much Iā€™ve benefited from running across this wonderful place.
5) I cannot speak about the amazing things that comprise ash without going absolutely bonkers about your w r i t i n g. I just. You are so good at layering meaning upon meaning upon meaning into your works, until they become this beautiful, colorful sedimentary formation of gorgeous intent and heartbreaking subtext.
6) and beyond just subtext, IMAGERY, ASH. IMAGERY. I COULD WANDER DOWN YOUR SPRAWLING CORRIDORS OF DESCRIPTION FOR HOURS. GET LOST IN ALL THE LITTLE NOOKS AND CRANNIES WHERE DETAILS LIE AND MY HEART GOES TO BE FULL AS WELL AS TO SHATTER
7) just about any time Iā€™m up early I see a happy little green discord bubble that makes my heart go ā˜€ļøā¤ļø and Iā€™m not a morning person, but it always puts me in a happy mood to start my day
8) hello random point here!! Just for me to say youā€™re amazing and I love you!! Iā€™m allowed to do that cause I made the rules :P
9) you are taking a break!!! A well deserved, wonderful break to rest the ash head!!!!! Take care of the ash brain!!! For inside it are many wonderful things!!! Many amazing gifts to this world that you bless us with!!! Take care of the ash!!!
10) now I will sing a song: *clears throat* OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH HOW I LOVE THE ASH OCā€™S, THE ASH OCā€™S, THE ASH OCā€™S! HOW I LOVE THE ASH OCā€™S THAT BREAK MY HEART IN TWO
11) you were the first whump writer I ever really came into contact with! Thatā€™s not to say I hadnā€™t read whump before, but I had never interacted with anyone before. And nervous little me stuck my head in and you went HELLO WELCOME WEā€™RE ALL VERY FRIENDLY HERE HAVE A SLICE OF HEARTACHE PIE AND JOIN THE FUN and I cannot thank you enough for that
12) your profile picture. Please. It gives me so much serotonin
13) stop Iā€™m already gay. This comes with no context but it doesnā€™t even need it. You know who this is about.
14) Chris owns my entire heart and also my soul šŸ„ŗ so does Kauri, come to think of it šŸ„ŗ and Jake šŸ„ŗ and Krista šŸ„ŗ and-
15) I FINISHED THE BAD ARC RECENTLY AND HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME. HOW DARE YOU DO SUCH A FANTASTIC JOB RIPPING MY HEART TO PIECES IN SUCH A BRILLIANT MANNER. HOW DARE YOU MAKE SOMETHING SO gOOD HURT SO BAD. HOW DARE-
16) Teach me to write pls you are a goddess of prose and I bow at your altar
17) HEY GUESS WHAT ITā€™S ANOTHER RANDOM BLURB WHERE I JUMP IN AND REMIND YOU THAT I LOVE YOU IN CASE YOU FORGOT WHAT THIS WAS ALL ABOUT! YOU ARE FANTASTIC! YOU ARE SPLENDED! KIND! IMPORTANT! TRULY MAGNIFICENT!
18) never has someone ever managed to make me so worked up over a roomba, I swear to god I am more invested in Kieraā€™s well-being than I am in my own, PLEASE TELL ME MY FUNKY LITTLE VACUUM MAKES IT
19) Vincent! Shield! Breaks! My! Heart! Someone! Please! Help! Him! For! The! Love! Of! God! Please! Just that whole...kauriā€™s whole....and Owen and....šŸ˜­ you have such good concepts and they break me to pieces and the (minimal though it is) comfort stitches it back together and ASHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
20) five more left! Five more left! Cause I can only fit 25 in! But there is! so much more! About the Ash! Of that Iā€™m sure! Look out. Here comes the Ash love!
21) this is specifically a me thing, but in following some of the discourse that passes through your blog, I have learned a *lot* about the world, and about myself. I wonā€™t give specifics, but you actually encouraged me to talk with someone, and secure a diagnosis that Iā€™ve been holding off on for a long time. And it has opened up so many pathways, and helped me see the world in such a different light and I just. I can never really thank you enough for that?
22) I can never get enough of how amazing you are at flipping the usual narrative on its head, and drawing out such crucially important morals from it? God I just. Ash
23) youā€™re still here! Youā€™re still going! The world is a crazy place, and the internet even crazier, but look at you! Youā€™re here! In spite of it all, itā€™s still you! And I thank my lucky stars every day for it!
24) this is just a fun fact but you are one of (5) blogs I keep post notifications on for, constantly. Tumblr and I are very fickle friends, but I cannot tell you how much it gives me a little rush of glee (or terror or sorrow or fear depending on the content) whenever I get that little banner pop up on my phone and it says ASHINTHEAIRLIKESNOW POSTED:
25) Number twenty five is simply, truthfully, and completely that you are Ash! You are wonderful, and brilliant, and a light in a world that gets pretty dim, every now and then. Even when your light feels a little grey, never let it go out ā¤ļø you are loved, and you are so very special, and you deserve tenfold of the goodness you put out.
ANYWAY, IN CONCLUSION: WE LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK ASH!!!!!

Anon, I have no response that can possibly match what I was sent here. This was delightful and it made me feel the same way I felt when I first saw theĀ ā€˜boom da yadaā€™ commercial for the Discovery channel, which is to say... awesome. Thank youuuuuu for this list!

the empty text box answer hall of fame
over 400 of yā€™all took my stupid uquiz. why.
an anon ask requested me to show my favourite answers to the little text box at the end so i spent like two and a half hours going through every single answer AGAIN since i hadnā€™t screenshotted any while looking through them the first time. you idiots are so funny and lovely people and here is a big post going through some iconic answers. i hope this can be entertaining but also it is mostly just for me lol
first of all, in one of the questions i mention that i often leaveĀ ā€œi fucked ur momā€ in the empty text boxes at the end of most uquizes. this then resulted into 43 of you leavingĀ ā€œi fucked ur momā€ in the textbox in some way or another and one person asking: ā€œi wonder how many people wroteĀ ā€œi fucked ur momā€ after what you said earlierā€. some favourite variations of this include:
as a wise uquiz maker once saidĀ ā€œI fucked ur momā€
to quote u, i fucked ur mom <3
i fucked your mom but i thought it was you anyways the pussy was bomb
as I was fucking your mom, I realised that I truly am the sexiest bitch alive
i didnā€™t fuck your mom, but i did make sure she got home safely <3
and a bonus i also enjoyed: Can you ask your mom if sheā€™s single
no, my mother is not single, and i really hope none of you actually fucked her. that being said i laughed at these every time thank you so much
these next ones i just want to talk about even though the original sender will most likely not even see them. or they just need some context. i just need peace of mind
Tumblr media
the first question of the quiz was my favourite one to do because kpop songs are sometimes absolutely fucking bonkers and i wanted to showcase that it was hilarious!!!! i can confirm that not all kpop is like that. i specifically chose the funky ones because i think it does add to character and that is something that i can simultaneously enjoy and also laugh at. but kpop also has amazing lyrics!! itā€™s not all one thing and kpop is super diverse. i didnā€™t personally know some of the songs i put in there, i just knew their funky lyrics so i cannot speak for fm but also what the fuck was that song
Tumblr media
as you should. carry on. i was very threatening withĀ ā€œdo not leave it empty you bitchā€
Tumblr media
this one was just cute!! idk if youā€™re going to see this person who sent it but my native language is finnish. chuu is an icon.
Tumblr media
one of my questions was if you were a wizard what would you say when you cast a spell and one of those answers was fuck you. this person took it to the next level and i loved it so much i couldnā€™t stop smiling at this one
Tumblr media
listen iā€™m fuckin trying
Tumblr media
this person just completed the assignment. left me a wonderful love letter
Tumblr media
and last but not least, this person did everything i told them to do in the actual question. a+ incredible performance!!!
if i could iā€™d put in all the screenshots i took but since there is a photo limit i believe, i will just write them out exactly as they are. moving on, here are just some random ones that i really enjoyed:
iā€™m your father, luke
i am so sad, i dont have enough white beads to make a little 3d seed beed chicken sitting down ): i even arranged all the beads i stole from my mom by color, it took me 3 days, and now i cant even make a little chicken ): a little seed beed chicken )ā€™:
youā€™ll meet the king of fungi in 34 days
today i managed tp find the nether fortress and collect 10 blazerods. im about to beat minecraft for the forst time in my life
Dude every question of this was a riot I love you
Bro Iā€™m just here for the vibe
I think dogs should be able to vote
i killed a man lol
Pebis.
jack sparrow pirates of the caribbean was confirmed some flavor of homo way back when which means HE was disneyā€™s first gay character yet they refuse to give pirates of the caribbean the credit it deserves and they refuse to my calls where I try and tell them they simply must have jack sparrow pirates of the caribbean kiss a man directly on the lips in the next movie
ehhhhhh Iā€™m evil penis boy im gonna steal your penis
I love you, no homo. The homo costs extra
Yo check this out *<|:) heā€™s in a party hat
theres way too many kpop references in this quiz
\_/____ itā€™s a slug
that was the weirdest quiz iā€™ve taken in a while and i truly enjoyed it
My cat is meowing at me i thin iā€™m going to die today
FUCK (are you pleased)
I wish I was a nac Mac feegle but more than that I wish I could enjoy being a nac Mac feegle
I forgot what this quiz is about already
I hated these questions and have lost 10000 years of my life answering them (no but thanks for the quiz!!!)
on god I was gonna choose theĀ ā€˜cuddling stray kittensā€™ option for the how do u sleep question but then I remembered that I actually did sleep in a refrigerator box on my bedroom floor for months when I was like 9 :/ throwback!!!
when i was 7 i put my hand in a food processor while it was running toĀ ā€œsee what would happenā€ and somehow im 28 and still have all my fingers and toes
this last one deserves its own moment. itā€™s the best message i got:
Tumblr media
congrats on the phd doctor bitch!!!
along with all of these messages, i got a lot of song recs (thank you sm!!) and i got so many lovely messages from people saying they liked the quiz or just other generally nice things and i canā€™t explain how much serotonin these answers have given me. just wanna thank everyone who took the time to write something in there i loved it!!!!!!!

Beanā€™s Eurovision 2021 Top 5!
(aka Beanā€™s Eurovision 2021 Song Ranking: Part 5)
This is the S-tier for me, and I would be ecstatic if any of the following artists won.
5) Manizha - Russian Woman [Russia]
Tumblr media
I genuinely donā€™t understand how, Russia being the way it is, this pro-LGBT Tajik refugee utter goddess managed to catapult her modern feminist anthem to winning the Russian national competition. Maybe after charming everyone with internet darlings / rave trolls Little Big last year, Russia decided a conventional Eurovision act was for squares? Or maybe Manizha is just that good? Honestly probably a bit of both. This song is a tour de force. If youā€™re like me you might need multiple listens to be ready for it, because it exists somewhere outside of conventional genre expectations, but I promsie itā€™s worth it. If it wouldnā€™t be insulting to Manizha I would suggest it comes from an alternate universe where electronic music is more freeform and you could combine Russian girl-rap with a sick synth guitar (sitar??) drop without it being weird. I feel I need to mention again how good that drop is. Itā€™s not a dubstep-type drop, but when that first beat kicks in you feel the energy, and it makes the subsequent slowdown for the lyrical belts (ā€Š‘Š¾Ń€ŃŽŃ‚ся, Š±Š¾Ń€ŃŽŃ‚ся Š’сŠµ ŠæŠ¾ ŠŗруŠ³Ńƒ Š±Š¾Ń€ŃŽŃ‚ся, Š“Š° Š½Šµ Š¼Š¾Š»ŃŃ‚сяā€) all the more impactful. That her message reduced so many Russian viewers (and a fucking cultural committeeperson) to pearl-clutching only proves how much itā€™s needed. People hate to see an immigrant woman win. But, have you seen her? Sheā€™s fierce and she cannot be shut up <3
4) 10 Years - DaĆ°i og GagnamagniĆ° [Iceland]
Tumblr media
If you follow my tumblr youā€™ve probably seen me reblog stuff about DaĆ°i Freyr, because I think heā€™s delightful and I love everything he does. In the wake of Hatariā€™s BDSM-with-a-message shaking the world in 2019, Iceland swung in the complete opposite direction in the best possible way by introducing us to DaĆ°i Freyr, potentially one of the most wholesome musicians of all time, and his high-school-found-family-turned-band-GagnamagniĆ°. Their 2020 song Think About things was written as a sort of letter of hope and acceptance to Freyrā€™s young daughter whoā€™s too young to form opinions. Itā€™s utterly charming and probably would have (deservedly) won last yearā€™s Eurovision if the pandemic hadnā€™t caused it to be cancelled. 10 Years, in turn, is a love letter to Freyrā€™s wife, with whom heā€™s been married a decade. Freyrā€™s style is both unusual and distinctive: smooth and simple yet irrestibly catchy vocals, funky brass fills, and the gorgeous experimental synths of a self-trained internet hobbyist. His attachment to his old-school 8bit aesthetic makes him not just endearing to my own nerdy biases, but refreshing to a generation of Eurovision viewers tired of the overproduced and inauthentic bombastic power ballads of yesteryear. Freyr is clearly the musical genius of the group (as evidenced by his frequent covers, streams, and other fun experimental breadcrumbs he clearly releases just for the sheer fun of music) but I also love that heā€™s always surrounded by his buds. That one in the front is his wife :) You can tell theyā€™re friends, you can tell theyā€™re having such fun, and itā€™s a straight rush of serotonin to me and anyone else who goes buckwild for found family in fiction. I want to play video games with him. šŸŽµHow does it keep getting better????šŸ‘Æā€ā™‚ļø
3) Discoteque - The Roop [Lithuania]
Tumblr media
The Roopā€™s Discoteque is the ultimate theme song for dancing by yourself in your room. That is it, I have condensed its essence into one sentence for you. Itā€™s really not hard to get the appeal of that. Havenā€™t we all been trapped in our rooms for the past year? Donā€™t we all need to be told that ā€œit is ok to dance aloneā€? I feel like The Roop made the accompanying dance simplistic for other viewers on purpose. Discoteque is for everyone. Discoteque is a sealed package of pure fun, and itā€™s addressed to everyone who has heard the chorus of this song. Even though everyone is isolated in their own home right now, we can do the dance ourselves, and it is ok to dance alone. Dance alone, dance alone, dance alone.... šŸ•ŗ
2) SHUM - Go_A [Ukraine]
Tumblr media
Songs like SHUM are the reason that Eurovision exists: a blend between Ukrainian folk (heralding the beginning of spring) and utterly banging hard techno. Where the fuck else would I find Ukrainian technofolk? And more importantly, where else would I find one that goes this hard? Thereā€™s a reason why in the past week I have seen videos of almost every Eurovision performer dancing to SHUM, and itā€™s because SHUM is a fucking banger. Iā€™ve already posted that I think I played this song so much my neighbours are getting sick of it, and Iā€™m trying to teach myself the Ukrainian lyrics. Itā€™s not out of effort, really, itā€™s just because if you like EDM at all you will fall in love with this song and have it in your brain constantly, and next thing you know youā€™re learning Ukrainian folk tales about the metaphorical resonance of sowing hemp. Itā€™s such a good song purely on a musical level that anything else it could offer is just extreneous, frankly. But we also have Kateryna Pavlenkoā€™s god-tier cyberpunk queen aesthetic, Ihorā€™s brilliant flute-playing, and a genuinely very punk video of the band visiting Chernobyl to benefit from Go_A too. The band that never stops serving.
1) Dark Side - Blind Channel [Finland]
Tumblr media
Ok, look, nobody is surprised to see me simp for the Finnish nu-metal band. But give me a few paragraphs to convince you that they (or at least this song) merit just a bit of simping. As a treat. From the perspective of Eurovision this song came pure out of left field: electronic pop and hard rock in a harmonious marriage the likes of which the music scene hasnā€™t seen in decades. Apparently they like to use the term ā€œviolent popā€ to describe themselves. In many ways the feel like a Linkin Park revival, if maybe a bit more energetic: dark, emotionally vulnerable, and the kind of thing you would belt out in the shower on a bad day. It is also technically perfect. Considering the simplicity of the lyrics itā€™s easy to overlook all of the compositional details at play here, but from the vocal effects to every guitar riff to the drum solo in the bridge to the sheer energy of the performance, everything is both perfectly engineered to be musically effective yet authentically hard rock as fuck. These boys may have the aesthetic of someone who spends their days crawling out of dive bar dumpsters (affectionate) but they are extremely hardworking with their craft and I wasnā€™t surprised to see the release of their mini-documentary wherein itā€™s obvious they are working themselves ragged and should probably be getting more sleep. Not to forget, of course, the message of Dark Side. This song is a tribute to the outsider, to feeling lonely, to being emotionally stuck and needing release. It embodies catharsis. Every human out there (even though some may claim not to) know what itā€™s like to want to stick your middle finger up at everyone. And itā€™s that often-maligned part of you this band is channeling with this amazing rock song. I want Dark Side to win because I think, after 2020, what we as a society collectively need is to put our middle finger up, take a shot, throw it up and donā€™t stop.

Hello! I'm sorry for going mia but it has been a busy last few weeks...
My grandma gave me a part of her huge garden to take care of and I've been weeding and cleaning everything and it's so much fun I'm really looking forward to the next months when I can start planting seeds and then grow my own vegetables!
Also I started an internship where I work from home the whole time and it's been a pain to contact the mentors because their replies take up to an hour and it's really annoying.
I'm also still working my other job at the grocery store because the internship is unpaid šŸ˜‘ and I can't live from my savings for half a year.
Easter rush was bad at the store because people really go crazy over here if stores are closed over a 2 day holiday.
Anyways, I've been enjoying a lot of the music that came out in these weeks, ateez was amazing! Like that saxophone solo in take me home? Chef's kiss!
Pentagon Do or Not oh my god I love that song so much! And the whole album is so good too! I just wish it had a bit more variety soundwise.
And the Astro comeback killed me! The new album is so damn good! And they already got 2 wins! I'm so happy!
What do you think about these comebacks?
How are you doing?
How's life and school?
Drama anon ā¤
YOU'RE BACK !!!!!!! :D !!!
Omg that's so cute šŸ„ŗ keep me updated on your lil garden !! :(( you're working so much, well done but I hope you're able to rest well ! Oh lord, people .. *shivers in disgust*
THE SAXOPHONE SOLO I died honestly, my soul just projected. Do or not ... legit the best thing to have blessed us this year<3 so much serotonin. Ooh that's a valid point, I agree that there's not much variety sound wise but I actually really liked it for that. I just .. love pop rock .. so give me all the pop rock and I'll be happy haha. And the vibes were continuous but they some funky (winky boy) things in the bsides whcih were nice. I rly enjoyed just listening to it as a full album!
Yesssss astro was amazing and its charted so well and done great on shows and I'm so happy for them! I loved the entire album ngl the production was just next level stunning and dear my universe has become a favourite!
