Chapter 4 of 21 Questions

Matt, Lily finally had a name to put instead of only texting the random digits that Alex had given to her a few days prior. Unable to resist and despite the late hour, Lily was eager to share this with her best friend who would definitely enjoy having the latest details regarding the mystery boy as she had called him.

As Lily got up from her bed and rushed to her friend’s room, she didn’t wait for a response when she knocked and immediately entered – Lily knew that Alex was still awake because of the light coming from the bedroom and the fact that Alex was a hundred percent a night owl. The look on Lily’s face and her tone were enough to draw Alex’s attention:

“Alex!”

“Lily!” the blonde replied with the same excitement her best friend had despite not knowing yet what would follow.

“Guess who has a sort of new friend?” Lily asked with a tone that was pretty much giving the answer. 

“Ooh mystery boy is back? Tell me!” Alex was absolutely involved in whatever happened between her friend and the stranger.

“Okay sooo, I have a name: it’s Matt. we actually cleared the ghosting situation, he was just busy which is completely understandable like– we barely know each other so I didn’t need a whole explanation to be honest.” Lily shrugged as saying that – it was true, she wasn’t really bothered by it.

“What else have you learnt about him?”

Alex could see how genuine the smile on her best friend’s face was when talking about this potential new friendship of hers. By force of habit, Lily gave her unlocked phone to Alex for her to read the latest conversation while she replied to the question:

“I’m so happy because he is a huge Pokemon fan and I don’t know, I wasn’t expecting it like he’s not as into the DS games as I am but he seems to adore Pokemon like in general, the universe and everything as much as I do so it’s really exciting that we can bond on that! I hope we can find more stuff we have in common in the future like movies or TV shows, you know?”

While listening to Lily, Alex couldn’t help but think about the only Matt she knew: Matthew Sturniolo, one of the triplets she’s been following on YouTube. A bit far-stretched maybe, Alex thought as there were probably thousands of Matts on earth who love Pokemon, it's just a coincidence. 

For now, Alex was just enjoying her friend having someone else in her life apart from Jade and Lucas who also worked at the café. The blonde was thinking back to middle and high school when it had always been the two of them without anyone else. Obviously, they had had a few classmates they liked talking to at school, but never has Lily ever had other friends for she wasn’t very outgoing – Alex became more of an extroverted during high school and kept a couple of friends from that period but it was hard, even nowadays, for Lily to go up to people and get to know each other. Online friends was a concept that Alex always thought would correspond to Lily as speaking to people without meeting them was so much easier than being face to face with someone you absolutely don’t know. She was really hoping that this friendship would help Lily grow and appreciate new beginnings as well as changes.

~~~ 

For the following weeks, a new routine had started for Lily. On the one hand, she was spending more time knowing Matt – she had for instance learned that he loved hiking in the mountains, while she briefly talked about her wish to travel the world. On the other hand, Alex was successfully getting her deeper into the Sturniolo fandom and twice a week when Lily would come home from work, this was what she was welcomed with:

“NEW VIDEO!!” Alex shouted when hearing Lily close the door.

“Yayy, let me just take a shower and get changed, I’ll be here shortly”, Lily replied, eager to watch the new video.

“Okayyy, I'll wait for you! What’s twenty more minutes after an hour”, Alex laughed at herself.

Since Alex had managed to convert Lily into watching the triplets with her, she decided she would now wait for her best friend to come home so that they could watch the new videos together. Before that, Alex would simply watch the Sturniolo Triplets alone in her room, but as Lily had now found interest in watching them as well – Alex was glad the Wheel of Doom video had convinced Lily that the triplets might be funny, they actually started watching them on their TV in the living room.

After Lily returned from her well-deserved shower, the two girls sprawled out on the sofa and Alex gave a snack to Lily as she looked for the latest video on the boys’ channel – this had been their ritual for every Wednesday and Friday.

“I didn’t see the notif on my phone, what’s the title of today’s video?” Lily asked.

“It’s Triplets brothers lie detector test (Chris’s revenge), it’s gonna be so fun!” Alex replied, excited to see how it would turn out. “Remember last week it was only Chris who had to answer questions, so this time I guess he’s gonna ask Matt and Nick.”

“Yeah I remember, I’ll remind you that most of the time I’m the one with a better memory than you!” Lily argued – honestly it was half-true because there was one time when Lily forgot what Alex said to her only two seconds later. “Last week was really funny, I loved how Chris would just smile after every question for no reason.”

“Oh my god, yes he waaas”, Alex – a certified Chris girl – agreed with her best friend.

As they watched the video, the girls couldn’t stop laughing at the answers given by either Nick or Matt. For instance, when Nick denied that he would give a kidney to Matt – the reply being so quick but turning out to be a lie was always funny to see. Moreover, it simply ended up showing the special bond between the three brothers, something hard to understand but beautiful to look at.

Then, as Nick tried to cover the lie from John – the computer guy that somehow always does these tests, no matter the YouTuber, Lily couldn’t help but feel like she was missing a piece of information.

“Wait what– Chris has a brand? Of what?” she asked the girl sitting next to her.

“Oh, it's his clothing brand. I’ll show you after the video, it’s honestly sick!” Alex explained. “I’d die to have something from FreshLove”.

Unknown to Alex, this was something that Lily would definitely not forget as she was already planning on looking it up on her own – away from Alex’s eyes – so that she could maybe find a birthday present for her best friend. This was always a very special event for the both of them as they were both gift givers that loved trying to find or make the perfect gift for the other.

On the same subject, as Matt was now the one answering questions from his brother, a relationship as pure as the girls’ could be observed when Chris asked him if he ever felt jealous of his brothers. Matt’s no was agreed by John to be true; and while the three boys were smiling, Matt decided to add that he only felt proud of them, thus getting an aaww from both Chris and Nick – as well as Lily and Alex.

The video nearing to an end, Alex and Lily couldn’t help but burst out laughing when Chris mentioned his Pepsi addiction.

“It’s honestly a wonder how this guy even survives on Pepsi like– bro fully believes that it’s not crazy even when his brothers tell him it is.” Lily couldn’t comprehend this triplet.

“No yeah, I don’t know whether to cry or keep laughing right now because I know Chris is def not making it to forty years old”, Alex could only agree with the blonde.

After this simple exchange, Alex looked at her friend and couldn’t help but feel overjoyed with the feeling of knowing that the person she loves the most in her life was loving the same things as she does.

[littletroggo]

get to know your mutuals!

thanks for the tag @captn-trex! teaching violin and composing is pretty sick :D

what’s the origin of your blog title: i was affectionately nicknamed a little troglodyte by my brother, and it's way better than my previous usernames. it's "troggo's trash hole" because i like the alliteration and embracing my inner trash panda aka raccoon

OTP + ship name: akiham akiham akiham. akihiko's my favorite character from persona 3, and his interactions with the female protagonist are so cute! otherwise, i'm pretty indifferent to ships. i end up liking a lot of random shipping stuff because it's cute, and i like cute things

favorite color: blue! specifically dark blue

favorite game: persona 4 golden. that game got me through a rough spot. i also love the rgg games (lost judgment being my favorite). i played through yakuza 0 to 6 in one summer... honorable mentions to left 4 dead 2 and deep rock galactic because PvE is fun :3

song stuck in your head: all of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION's discography especially Re:Re:, Blue Train, and Piece of the Future

weirdest habit/trait: i'll fold whatever cloth i have on hand like a blanket or the hem of my shirt and run my finger over the corner of the fold. i don't know why i do that, but i have since i was little

hobbies: just art and video games. i used to be a big reader as a kid but assigned reading kinda killed that

if you work, what’s your profession: currently studying to get my bachelor's in engineering. i'm hoping to work in the aerospace industry after i graduate though to be honest it's looking kinda shaky :P

if you could have any job you wish, what would it be: toy or rollercoaster designer! i think it'd be fun and cool. same with being a professor. i'd take anything for design or manufacturing work just preferably not in the automotive industry

something you’re good at: what are you my therapist? art? i guess? i mean i hope so i've been drawing all my life

something you’re bad at: spelling and basic math. my spelling's so bad spellcheck has no clue how to help me. hell i still use the things i was taught in elementary school like wed-nes-day and bus-in-business. my basic math abilities are also comically bad. derivatives, ODEs, and matrix operations? easy! ask me to multiply a number above 20 by 5 or add two double digit numbers together? can't do it in my head. i consistently mess up cubing numbers too...

something you love: learning! there's a lot of exciting things in the world, and while i'll never be able to learn everything, i still like learning new things

something you hate: putting people into boxes and saying all they'll ever be is whatever is assigned to that label. it always infuriates me because it's people having a preconceived notion about you and it's pretty demeaning

something you collect: plushies and stickers! half of my bed is plushies. it's their bed that i'm borrowing. i also like stickering my belongings (it still barely makes a dent in my sticker collection...). i also have a small lego clone collection. fives and the bad batch live on my monitor and diligently watch me work :3

something you forget: a lot of things. i'm really scatterbrained. i've forgotten appointments until i get a calendar notification. i've left home on separate occasions without my phone, wallet, bag, proper shoes, and even my glasses once

what’s your love language: quality time!

favorite movie/show: too many to pick from. if it has time manipulation and/or cool technology, it's most likely a favorite of mine

favorite food: mac and cheese, beef noodle soup, and cha siu bao

favorite animal: axolotls and red pandas!

what were you like as a child: very quiet and reserved unless i was around people i was already comfortable with, then i wouldn't shut up

favorite subject at school: before university, physical sciences like physics or chemistry. for university, it's CAD and creative writing

what's your best character trait: i'd say i'm a fast learner. i've picked up the basics for a lot of things like sewing, 3d modelling, video editing, soldering, lathing. nowhere near an expert but i can get by

what's your worst character trait: i have too high of standards for myself and too low of standards for others. this often results in me being too critical of myself and blind to others' faults

if you could change any detail of your life right now what would it be: i wish i had more energy to do everything i need/want to

if you could travel in time, who would you like to meet: honestly, no clue. i think it'd be funny to ask orson welles how he feels about his last work being voice acting in a glorified toy commercial but otherwise idk

[moons-and-stars-and-shit]

hello!!! i'd like to request a piece of 🍰 please <3 apologies for incoming info dump about my Entire Life :| & thank u so much darling!

basic information — i use she/her and i'm bisexual, an infj, and a scorpio. a yachi kinnie :)

appearance — i'm a 5'0 asian girl with long black hair and dyed caramel tips! my body type is petit and skinny - lack of butt, unfortunately, but i got some tibby! overall im pretty tiny and always look younger than my age lol. i also wear glasses because i am Very Near Sighted, and my clothing style is a weird mix between cutesy-pastel-female-kpop-idol fits, indie teenage girl, and faux cottagecore.

personality — i'm a rather introverted person, but i'm trying my best to work on that. i have depression, anxiety, and adhd, but i'm always telling myself uplifting things and trying to work on my mindsets, so i'd like to say that i'm also sincere and compassionate! i'm also very adaptable and easily influenced by the behaviors of people around me. i think at first impression, i look standoffish and judgemental, but i think it's because i lack the confidence to say what i think and express my emotions, which i'm also working on! once i'm comfortable, i think i'm a very funny, intelligent, and caring person (i'm an extremely sensitive person and receptive to others' emotions — i cried a LOT watching karasuno v shiratorizawa 😐), but i can also tease and be a little sarcastic if the relationship calls for it. i get very affectionate and touchy with close friends too! long story short - i might seem awkward and quiet, but give me a moment— i'm trying, and i'll get there eventually, and i think that'll be worth waiting for. :)

hobbies — i like to do visual art things, like sketch pretty anime boys and also cross-stitch and make calligraphy! i'm a bullet-journaler :) i also love love LOVE learning languages and about different cultures, especially asian ones. i think i'm a pretty studious person when i get into it but i do procrastinate a lot T____T i'm also super into playing genshin impact, but i easily hop interests, so one day i'll be on this and the next, it's something else i'm rambling about. get ready to get ur ear talked off about wtv i love that week <3

likes + dislikes — i like anime, bts (!!), and otome games :> i also enjoy desserts, boba tea, flowers, and sudoku puzzles 🥺 i'm also a lover of learning, asian cultures, and dogs (also cats, but mostly dogs!) <3 i reallllyyyyyy want a pet snake one day too 🥺 family is also very important to me because i'm the youngest of 7 children! i dislike spiders snd working out (seriously the last person to want to do any type of fitness). all that "moving" jazz... volleyball is the only sport i'll probably ever even bother to learn the rules of LMAO but do not expect me to play i will eat the floor </3 my arms are sticks and i will simply embarrass myself

what i want/need in a relationship — i have a pretty idealistic idea of romance - i want someone perfect, but i know that's not realistic. at the very least, i want someone who loves me very much and is honest about that. they also need to let me be affectionate and clingy, and will be the same way back, even if it's just a little bit. i'm someone who needs love and affirmation rather consistently, like a freaking plant. i NEED someone who'll make sure i'm doing things and being productive, and someone who will actively encourage me to both be a better person mentally and physically get things done. they also should be able to take care of me (i'm a youngest child so i like being babied~) <3

this is very long, apologies! thank you so much for your wonderful matchups, they're so detailed and you work very hard on them, i can tell. thank you for your hard work!! kisses 4 u! <3

@mochiiswan ok I see you stealing my husband from me 🥲

Astrology

When Virgo and Scorpio join together in a love match, these Signs that are two apart in the Zodiac are brought together.

Their placement gives the relationship an intense karmic bond

The Virgo-Scorpio couple is loyal and deep, with very strong ties.

Virgo and Scorpio enjoy working together toward acquisition: Virgo wants order and Scorpio wants power.

Both of these Signs are about resources, including inheritances and property.

This couple is very service-oriented and known to be dependable.

They like to lend a hand to a friend or to the community.

Additionally, Virgo can be withdrawn — while Scorpio is more opaque and outgoing.

Because of the disparity, both Signs can learn from one another if they can agree to meet halfway.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury and Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto.

This combination is very heated, thanks to Pluto’s influence.

The two Signs unite to form the basic foundation of human relationships — Mercury’s communication and Mars’s passion.

Mercury and Mars go well together; Mercury is about the conscious mind, and Mars is about the passion of romance.

Scorpio is rambunctious and intense, and Virgo is attracted to this energy.

In turn, Scorpio needs the loyalty and practicality inherent in Virgo.
