#haechan is so tsundere in this fic lol

[neo-shitty]

tagged by @crownily ; hi darling i know it’s so late :( i’m so sorry, i was so busy with school. thank you for tagging me! i really enjoy doing these long tags xx

what do you prefer to be called name-wise? online, i prefer to be called by my dn, toffee. my real name is althea but i don’t really go by that name that much here.

when is your birthday? april 27th!!

where do you live? philippines 🇵🇭

three things you’re doing right now. plot-building my next fic, relaxing and typing this down lol 🤣

four fandoms that piqued your interest. oh my god the harry potter fandom at one point, the minecraft community in general, this fandom for this local band i listen to and of course, the kpop community.

how has the pandemic been treating you? i’m slowly getting used to this new normal and i’m adjusting. i still prefer face to face classes though and going out. but don’t we all?

a song you can’t stop listening to? today, it was psycho by red velvet. the past few days, it was 90s love by nct u. who wouldn’t lose it over haechan’s double high note, hello?

recommend a movie. MIDSOMMAR but i’m forewarning you, that movie is all sorts of fucked up and is traumatizing as hell but the way all the small details you would miss if you weren’t paying attention all made so much sense in the end was amazing. it was soooo well made which is why it’s worthy of a recommendation. plus, it’s not everyday that you see a horror movie that’s filmed in broad daylight.

how old are you? i’m 18!

school, uni, occupation, other? freshman year, majoring in accountancy

do you prefer heat or cold? cold but not too cold.

name one fact others may not know about you? i’m an only child.

are you shy? depends on the situation.

pronouns? she/her

biggest pet peeves? noise when i’m working

what’s your favorite “dere” type? tsundere. funny enough, i grew up like one.

rate your life from 1-10: 1 being crappy and 10 being the best it can be. a 5 in this fucking pandemic.

what’s your main blog? @neo-shitty

list your sideblogs and what they’re used for. @toffeerecs is my fanfic tracker/directory and @looking-for-althea is a planned personal blog but i have no idea what to put.

is there something that people need to know before becoming friends with you? i have a life beyond this app and i’m only here when it’s convenient for me. please understand that i may disappear for days on end. i would most likely pick up the conversation where we left off like no time has passed. i hope that’s fine.

this was a long one! i don’t know who else to tag though so feel free to do this if you want to :)
