#ilove you so much kate!!!!!!

[shortnsweetgf]

they’re on a date, your honor

[fushitoru]

aashiii bb i just started your bridgerton gojo fic n i’m so in love w it already please!! your writing is PHENOMENAL, the dialogue is so picturesque for bridgerton like you could fr write the screenplay for the show (honestly…pls do bc s3 was such a disappointment to me lolol you would absolutely eat down and save the whole franchise)

i love how adorable yuuji is, i adore protective older brother choso, the moment with reader n her mom at the debutante show was so sweet too. i also love reader’s personality?? she already feels so warm n sweet n kinda sassy n idk i just adore her is2g if duke gojo does anything to hurt her im grabbing my baseball bat 😂😂🙄

anyways i srs can’t gush enough about your writing it’s so great. it is NOT easy to write…i guess old english? idk what the language is specifically but yea like it’s one thing to write in old english, but all the little details you weave into conversation and exposition so naturally really makes the world feel so full and truly set in that period time place. tiny things like that i think what makes a story so memorable for me n i just wanted to highly commend you for that, as it really feels like i’m getting a sneak peak into what you’re picturing when you write

ok but duke gojo?……..ok listennn i know he’s antagonistic rn but 😫😫 i would let him ruin tf outta me. feminism didnt exist back then okay cut me some mf slack 😒😪 no but in seriousness i adored the scene where he shoo’d naoya away, and like all his convictions ab marriage, and the scene where he interrogated reader on the dancefloor. he’s characterized so well and i love how build his uhh lack of better term aura? xd

this part in the ch1 had me CACKLING so hard for some reason it was so funny the whore part LOL

like ugh they have SO much chemistry…like again it’s so hard to build chemistry like this so naturally so i really applaud you you’re so talented

i’m yapping im srry!! it’s actually past my bedtime 😂😂 (11:37pm here but i’m an old lady) n i’ve got one eye out for selener rn but ugh just one last thing ilove how theres like lil components from daphne’s szn and anthony’s szns ITS SO ahsgdfs i love gojo and i love s1-2 bridgerton so tysm for sharing this fic!! i cant wait to read more soon n catch up w the series. much love!

AHHHH ELLIE THE AMT OF SEROTONIN THIS GAVE ME >>> u are so sweet for this <3

ahaha reader is totally that bitch (regency era version). i lowk try really hard to make reader have personality and stay in character so im glad you got that impression 🙇‍♀️

AHHH and im so glad the old English doesn’t come off as corny LMAO. whenever i open my laptop chrome always suggests opening thesaurus and the regency era publications i reference when im writing. it is such a bitch to decipher and be able to replicate it so i am very honored that you complimented it :’)

CRYING so real! feminism drops alongside my panties whenever gojo breathes xoxo

reader called him a whore because that’s what he is. i think if I didn’t throw in sassy insults that a lady from the regency era would never use I think I would kms because sometimes you can’t express dislike for someone in a very demure very considerate way. if gojo gets called the antirizzler in a future chapter now we know why

AND AH! you are exactly right because there were things I loved about daphne as a character and things I loved about kate, so I feel like reader is a mix of them both. I think everyone universally acknowledges that gojo and anthony are both losersTM so that part was decided naturally.

ty for being so sweet!!! it means a lot 🙂‍↕️

[jungkookio]

List

I’ve noticed I’ve found comfort in making lists, so here’s one. This one’s theme is: the past year and my feelings about it! *sparkle sparkle, glitter glitter, ethereal music descends, if this list were personified, think of Sailor Moon doin’ her transformation twirl* This isn’t so much a list of good or bad, it’s more of just a list of things that I thought resonated with me the most. I’m trying to hash out or at least be more conscious of the amount of absolutes I use, so I guess I can start cutting from the bottom bottom of the shit I put out: personal blog posts. I like reading personal pieces I write. They capture how I feel in some moment, maybe not precisely, but pretty closely. I always come back to them. “They” as in records of my personal experiences. The medium in which they take form varies incredibly. Shelves of filled and unfilled journals, ranging from a key and lock hardshell diary that says “Princess” or leather bound Moleskins, private blogs under Tumblr, Listography, Blogspot, password protected documents on my hard drive, and recently, in a more mico-dosed manner, Instagram. Some mediums are honeymoon length, others are year long commitments. Whatever the medium may be, the meaning is still the same. And the meaning of it, really, is for me to read these mediums sometime in the future, maybe minutes after, maybe years after. That’s how I pinpoint my maturity (or immaturity). 

Now this seems like I’m preparing to prelude this list as some sort of work of art, but remember I called this the bottom bottom of the shit I put out. (Reference paragraph 1.) I feel as if this is the bottom because this is the least-filtered version of myself, tier one. If I can cut out something, in this case cutting down the use of absolutes, it’ll be easier for me to use less of that something in higher tiers like my daily lexicon that affects other people besides myself. I’m not that philanthropic. I eat meat and know that the majority of my apparel comes from sweatshops. I actively support like, one union, and the IWW, in a very tiny way. (I do banner drops through my school’s anarchist club.)  But fixing parts of myself from this level might do something in the fix-yourself-before-you-fix-others kind of way. Anyway, to humble myself, I’ve got to be aware of how I present myself to myself before I present myself to others. This medium is a bottom feeder of mediums. 

That was a lengthy, kind of hazy explanation for why I’m not using too many absolutes in this list.

So here’s a list of experiences in 2016 that are worth bumpin’!

~ I applied to college and finished high school. I got into one of my top choices and waitlisted for the others, but now I attend a decent institution where I think I’m happier than I’ve ever been (consistently!). Fuck you Canyon lmao

~ My mom started a restaurant with 0 experience in the food world, which is climbing its way up. Peep us on Yelp! Honestly, no one thought she could do it but foodies like it and we finally have a steady staff. Reason #28495789572389 why my mother is a badass, besides escaping the Vietnam War as a refugee.

~ I worked at a Latin Asian fusion restaurant for six months and didn’t get fired. Sure, I smelled like salsa most nights and might have broken up a family in the process, but it was an experience I wouldn’t take back. 

~ I realized I get really bad social anxiety which I try to cover up by making myself an elusive, independent character, which I’d say is not much of a strength as it is also a flaw. I think I have gotten better at embracing that elusive, independent character by integrating her as a true part of myself, and set times to abandon her by being confrontational and friendly when I should be. Not sure if this is me mastering my parts of my personality or a sign of being a psychopath. 

~ Relating to things that make me anxious, I got a tiny bit better at dancing in public, talking to strangers, and making friends. 

~ Found some happy places:

-Joshua Tree National Park 

-Olomana Three Peak Trail

-Table Rock Beach 

-Hạ Long Bay

 -Coos Bay 

~ Toxic section: Tried a lot of drugs, all for free cause I’m a fucking snake. Favorite is still acid. I love acid. Started and stopped smoking cigarettes. I like menthols and Parliaments.

~Did a few friend-vacations:

-Santa Barbara with three wholesome humans

- Palm Springs with JJKRT (+ Jenny Jeh) 

- Mountains with my bad influence, older pals

~ Became more comfortable with the idea of gaining weight as a part of becoming more healthy. I’m still working on it, but at least I notice it. 

~ Connected with family that had been shut out my entire life in Vietnam. Being in Vietnam kind of makes me feel a way that is indescribable. I think I might need to spend more time there to grasp what it is. I want to spend a long period of time there... Just not sure what period in my life will open up for that to happen. 

~ I was in and got out of a not-optimal relationship, making me realize that I seek partners who are transparent with their emotions and that I need to be more transparent with mine as well. Also, vanilla sex is boring.

~ I got into a very-optimal relationship, and he’s cool as fuck. Look at him.

~ Realized 👏  That 👏 I 👏  Have 👏 Fucking 👏  QUALITY 👏  Friends who serve as good memes (Some examples include but are not limited to: Harrison Fish Pic, Johanna In Every Pic) and emotional support but mostly memes 

~The following section in this list was inspired by Scott Somers. If you do not care about Scott Somers, things that Teline enjoys, or any variation of the two, Please scroll past this section. 

~ INDULGED IN SO MUCH ART HERE ARE JUSSA FEW: 

-Music (albums  of 2016 I cherish): Noname’s Telefone, Frank Ocean’s Blonde, of Montreal’s Innocence Reaches, Jamila Woods’ HEAVN, Princess Nokia’s 1992

-Music (I seen in da flesh!!!): Wiki, Dinosaur Jr., Kool A.D., Patti Smith, Tomorrows Tulips, King Krule, Bon Iver, James Blake

-Podcasts: Serial, The Ex-Worker, Alan Watts

-Literature: Flowers from Hell by Nguyễn Chí Thiện, Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris, Life of Pi by Yann Martel, Reconstructed Lives by Haleh Esfandiari, The Orestia by Aeschylus, Naked by David Sedaris, Pesepolis 1&2 by Marjane Setrapi, Paper Girls Bryan K. Vaughan, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami, Suburban Warriors by Lisa McGirr, The Book of Job maybe by Moses, Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur, Snotgirl by Brian Lee O’Malley, The Ego and His Own by Max Stirner (may or may not do a review of these later)

-Movies/TV: Way too much because these are the easiest to consume, yet I’m not as attached to film as I am to music and literature so I’m going to think less about this, whoops sorry. But I Will Say: I liked Rogue One much more than the Force Awakens and The Skin I Live In fucked me up in a good way because it forced me to think about how fake gender is. Anime is always good. Stranger Things left a soft spark in my normie nerd-core self. Everyone should take some time to watch a documentary about the Situationists. 

-Visual and Performative Art: So much art at random warehouses, office spaces, cafés, online, in print, and in more official places like The Portland Art Museum, The Getty, The Broad, & LACMA that left me shook but also empty inside. Also saw some whack performance art/poetry hybrid of Dao Strom on my campus. I have no words for that experience. PLUS I SAW ALEYSHA WISE AND NEIL HILBORN ALONE IN LA BUT IT WAS A LOVELY SLAM POETRY EXPERIENCE ILOVE THEFDSKALJFKS

~ I got a job at the local middle school where I get paid to make art with low-ses, ESL middle schoolers and talk to the teacher, Zoralie, who grew up in Venice Beach and always has a story to tell. 

~ Made friends in college and two of them are coming to road trip up to Portland with me. Shoutout to Annie, Jake, Hayley, Kavi, Ema, Coriander, Alex, Noah, Lucas, Ben, Thomas, Kate... They may not be the closest to me, but I’m glad that I found a place. 

~ This is my (cw: absolute) best friend.

~ And lastly, I think I became aware of the modes of oppression that rule my everyday lifestyle and I want to devote my existence to dismantling them.
