#i like reading scholarly articles 😭😭😭

[lambentplume]

microdosing on getting back into reading. i’ve been using my old laptop and found a folder of pdfs of scholarly articles + one zine + apparently a personal finance crash course that my past self compiled for me. yippee!

7. What’s the last thing you read that made you cry? | 15. Post the last line you wrote without context. | 19. What’s your favorite character headcanon? | 20. Do you have a favorite fanfic or author? If so, tag them/post a link and share the love!

Putting the questions in the ask oh there is a special spot for you in heaven

7. Honestly I cry if the wind blows the wrong way 😭 are we talking like real stories or like anything cause I looked up the translation of a song and cried at that lmfao. Also I’ve been reading scholarly articles about the history and culture of gay men’s choruses for class and that stuff always makes me cry 😂 anyways fanfic/book-wise it was probably that grandekofi hanahaki fic that I think Juno wrote!

15. “Anetra threw herself face-down onto her bed as soon as she was sure Marcia’s attention was diverted, groaning into the pillow.” OR “Dame blew Kam a kiss when Kam looked back. All she got in response was a dramatic eye roll.” (I’m working on multiple fics at once and I don’t remember which one I wrote last)

19. FAVORITE? That’s hard I don’t know if I have a favorite they’re all so story and situation dépendant 😭 I mean of course there’s my dame is a bottom one that I believe in my heart of hearts, my Anetra has clinical anxiety in everything I write one, my every character is a lesbian because I don’t have a powerful enough imagination to be able to write someone being attracted to men 😭 uhhhh I like my Anetra is scared of flying one that I work into a lot of stories. I have one I’m fleshing out about Dame being a closet nerd.

20. Favorite is such a loaded question I love everyone and I have a crippling fear of making people feel rejected!!!!! So I will once again say the fics that inspired me to write fanfic via the nicknames I’ve given them :) desert lesbians by @ziggyzaggystardust and of course, the one I keep screaming about and will not be stopping thank you very much, bodyguard au by ???? Someone???? Please tell me if you wrote this or if you know who wrote it I want to scream about it to you so bad (and once again go read rawnsyf to spite the twitter haters and support useless college lesbians)

blessed to be tagged by @dandojpg omgg thank u 🥰

last song: it was either higher by sleep token or untouched by the veronicas i don’t remember now omfg. right now crush by ethel cain is playing 😈

last show: i prefer movies tbh so i think my last show(s) was when i rewatched got & the last kingdom .... but any other time i just cycle through the same like 5 comfort movies for background noise. i watch cars at least once a week i’m not gonna lie 

currently watching: overwatch is sitting open on my tv right now if that counts LOLL earlier i was watching horse racing though :]

currently reading: the last time i read for fun (other than fanfic) was when i started to reread the twilight series last year .... right now im trying to convince myself to read all the fuckign scholarly articles i need to do my final essays so i can get this stupid ass degree next weekend 😭 BUT i also roleplay/write a lot so technically that counts hehe 

current obsession: other than the obvious (f1) i am a hoarder of many trinkets and my room consists mostly of my cinnamoroll collection, monster high, my little pony, my FUCK ton of kpop albums, and hella amounts of makeup & clothes cuz i love fashion too. i am also obsessed with my horse his name is jazz, he hates men and also is a little crazy and he has a mega fuck ton of things at the barn because i like him looking cute and fancy all the time :3 he loves sugar cubes too. oh also if i don’t drink diet pepsi everyday i’d probably be dead

I struggled even in my lit classes with some of the readings😭

Life Update Tag Game

thank you @homosexualrodent for tagging me in this :) been struggling with answering tags and asks and stuff bc of a general lack of motivation in my life right now so i am doing this Right as i'm seeing this 🙏 i'm doing this on my phone so pls forgive the formatting

1.) last song i listened to

all you had to do was stay by taylor swift, which is, for once, not on my monstrously long (15 hour) playlist. generally if someone asked me that question i'd have to say one that came off of there. if anyone wants that link lmk, it's probably basic but i like it and that's what counts LMAO ❤️

2.) currently watching

weirdly enough i don't actually watch a lot of TV - i don't have the time or the attention span when i do tbh - because i don't really fully enjoy media if i'm not fully obsessed with it, but i am liking a couple of different things right now. i just finished up succession and loved it even if i didn't understand a lot of the business talk that went on a lot of the time, i started hemlock grove which is another kind of werewolfy thing, and i Just started the second season of bridgerton. definitely recommend all three - in the order given.

3.) last show i watched

still succession. it's the last one i finished, anyway

4.) currently reading

lots of school stuff. scholarly articles for a research paper i don't want to do even though i chose the damn topic, the catcher in the rye, and a raisin in the sun. i really like both TCITR and ARITS, although i haven't finished A Raisin yet. it sounds really stupid to say i don't read very much outside of school considering i WRITE, but i haven't had much time or energy to be engrossed in something in a while 😭 definitely reading more once summer hits tho!!!

i don't know who's already been tagged in this, so i'll just tag my go-tos: @inabottlelikelightning and @thecenturiestrickle
