Don't You Try and Make Some Fool of Me

summary:

With his world on the brink of collapse, he knows there’s no easy way out, except how maybe there is. He can only hope it’s worth the sacrifice he’s about to make. Or, the ending events of chapter 9 of Love is a Losing Game, but from Illya's perspective.

notes:

inspired by Love is a Losing Game by @cha-melodius <3 The fic may or may not make sense without the original, I really can't say, but REGARDLESS I think everyone should read Love is a Losing Game because it's LITERALLY SO GORGEOUS AND SO AMAZING I am in love with it, probably, and there aren't enough words for me to express how much I absolutely adore it.

tags:

Falling out, Emotional Hurt No Comfort, Angst, inspired by another fic, competitive chess au, Napoleon Solo Needs a Hug, Illya Kuryakin Needs a Hug, Mutual Pining, Angst without a happy ending, but there is a happy ending in the original fic, POV Illya Kuryakin

excerpt:

Anger courses through him, thick and revolting, a nauseating combination of fire and ice that shakes him to his very core. He isn’t even certain what he’s mad at, nor who. Napoleon, for putting him in this position? Oleg, for causing this to exist in the first place?  As he lifts a trembling hand to Napoleon’s door, it’s really impossible to say what the true source of his anger is, because upon seeing Napoleon, it’s gone as though it were never there. The relief in Napoleon’s eyes leaves him breathless and for a moment his resolve is shattered. There’s something in Napoleon’s ocean eyes that preemptively shatters his heart. Chest aching, he wonders how he could’ve ever thought he’d be able to do this.

Post about the two different AUs of my S/I, both applying to both F/Os!! I'll also be linking this in my pinned intro :3

Story/AU #1: Kane ends up getting hired as a night gaurd sometime after Larry does, and Larry shows Kane the ropes around the musuem and how to properly lock up for the night and handling the exhibits. After Kane gets assigned some paperwork, it's made clear to him quite quickly that he might have some little pocket desk buddies he's going to be getting acquainted with.

On posts relating to this AU it will be tagged with: Do you think..🥞💭

------

Story/AU #2: Kane is a prince with a kingdom that is revolting against him, and on his first night after fleeing, he ends up bumping into some others that don't mind giving him some shelter, protection, and perhaps even some close company. (AU where they are in their respective timelines and Kane ends up bumping into one of them when wandering).

On posts relating to this AU it will be tagged with: Sanctuary👑🧭

another year celebrating @pcrtrait ♡

yippie ! i can't believe it's already been a year since we celebrated your birthday on this app 🥹 time flies by so fast wow . i hope you have the best birthday ever & i hope you get everything that u want !!

i got very emo & reminisced a bit so i logged into my old indie rp accounts & wanted to share these lost gems that i found :')

our first ever convo ! we really started things off talking about ms. kali uchis & i think that's so iconic of us 🤭

i was reading some of our old threads too & i'm SHOCKED to see this thread because what ? romeo AND arizona ?! lmaooo not them both having history before meeting nova and renato i'm dead ...

next , i saw this ask & i wanna know why we never started any of these ships bc the potential !!! howeverrr , some of those muses are inactive so mayhaps we should do this again for our next pairing >:)

but okay going back to our messages , i found the birth of zara & luca !! #braincelltwins since the beginning fr because we had the same aisha x aron manip in mind & decided to create a ship based on it ♡ and in the same day we created trav & leti <333 bless these manips bc they're the reason our bbs are alive fr

speaking of pairings , i think our most iconic brotp to exist is TRUCA ... i love this entire post istg i re-read it & fell inlove with them all over again !! but of course , we also have our angsty moments :'( i totally forgot we made a thread of them fighting but omfg , the entire sasha arch had me yelling , screaming , crying , & throwing up !!! like look at this . i can't believe i wrote that LMFAO + the tags ?! yeah ... relatable .

i didn't want to spam too much links ( if i did there would at least be 20 ) so that's it for now ! we can reminisce more next year :') i hope you enjoyed this bday post ♡ happy birthday again loml & here's to celebrating more bdays + friendships with u .

[andalasia]

hellos. dusting off my old sideblog to throw up this request bc that feels like a good idea. i've responded to a couple other searches, so i'm realistically not looking to take on too many more. little bit about me, i'm a 29 man, live in the central timezone [ i think technically it's cdt bc it's currently july... but don't quote me on that ], used to consider myself a reader reader but me and the books have been beefing these past few months so that isn't occurring as frequently. maybe because i've been giving rp more attention. i've been rping since at least 2009, but most of that has was on forums like proboards/invisionfree/jcink. i have only recently really been a discord rp girlie

really only looking for m/m plots at this time. mayhaps one day i will go back to doing hetero ships, but for the time being that's not really something that interests me. i don't have a robust collection of muses that i pull out of rotation, that's just never been how i rp... if you see a guy on my main blog [ blakegallo ] the odds are that i would use them as a face. because i cut my teeth on forums i do typically only use actors, musicians, and the occasional model as faces; i typically steer clear of people who social media people. it's really just a matter of personal preference. i am willing to consider a fandom based rp, but would prefer something that is more oc x oc.

as far as preferences go i do write in the third person past tense. i don't really have any interest in breaking the discord message character limit for replies. i would never do a one liner, but a nice well developed paragraph or two is usually good enough for me. i like there to be something to respond to and get a nice back and forth going. i've seen a lot in my decade plus in the rp community and i've definitely done responses that are what the girlies call novella length now and that's just not something i'm super invested in returning to at this time. i don't have any interest in rping in dms, i think that things are just more organized in a private server. i also prefer for new threads to be individual channels just because i find that easier to scroll back through than one general channel, but that's me. i am a tupperbox girlie... and so i do have a slight preference for using them. it's not a requirement by any means, i have more 1x1s that don't use them currently than do, but just throwing that out there. i also find that doing something mumu is just easier for me with the tupperbot, but we can make it work if you aren't for it.

as a sidenote, i also do really love text threads. in my time perusing the the tags i'm not sure if this common because so many of the requests i see are for the novella level girlies. but sometimes i might have time for some quick banter between our characters. i also find that characters texting leads to where a next thread should go. as a vibes girlie i just like letting the characters sort things out sometimes than us as muns going back and forth figuring out where the plot should take them next.

plotting for me tends to be more organic. i really don't like to get too far ahead of ourselves. to me it's like writing a romance novel, we know these characters are eventually going to get together, but the journey to that destination can be whatever we make for it. so the ups and downs and angst along the way is what makes it fun. obviously i'm all for tossing ideas back and forth about how we think we should handle something or where we should go next, but i don't really have any interest in outlining the whole journey and then just hitting the beats.

so please be 21+, 25+ honestly would be even better and like this if you're interested. i might read the occasional high fantasy book, but that's not a thing i am all that interested in. i might be up for something vaguely paranormal, but i'm really more a regular person writer. give me the lives and the rich and famous or mess happening in suburbia... i'll reach out from my main blog in tumblr dms and we can go from there if we think it could be a good fit.

for @dreamlingbingo

(who, thank goodness, said we can also use snippets to fill these prompts-which I am now doing. Prepare for spam. Maybe. This procrastinator has been procrastinating and now it's almost November and she's thinking... whoops. Anyway, here will follow some snippet prompt fills for different chapters in my as-yet unfinished fic, The Wizard and the Unicorn)

Square/Prompt: C3-Free Space (Creature: unicorn)

Title: The Wizard and the Unicorn

Rating: T

Ship(s): Dream of the Endless/Hob Gadling

Warnings: minor character death

Additional Tags: The Last Unicorn au, unicorn Dream, wizard Hob, magic, quests, castles by the sea, falling in love, learning to regret, magical transformations

Summary: "You can find the others if you are brave. They passed down all the roads long ago, and the Red Bull ran close behind them and covered their footprints..." Are all the unicorns gone from the world? Is he the last? What happened to the others? To find the answers to his questions, Dream must leave the sanctuary of his forest and face the dangers of the mortal world. Along the way he will encounter friend and foe, witches and wizards, harpies and highwaymen, and a demonic bull guarding the way to a crumbling castle by the sea...

A snippet from Chapter One:

Thomas tightens his grip on his reins and his rouncey-sensing his nerves- paws at the ground. With his master’s words ringing in his ears, he looks at the forest with new eyes and suddenly it does not seem so benevolent. An unnatural quiet has descended and he has the impression of many malignant eyes upon him. And still the black bird watches them from its log. “Mayhap we should turn around, sir?” he says quietly. “Hunt somewhere else?”

Sir William gives a sharp nod. “Indeed.” 

They turn their horses and urge them to a quick trot back the way they had come, both as eager as the other to be out from under the treeline. Yet at the very edge of the forest, Sir William draws rein and turns back. 

“Stay where you are, poor beast!” he calls. “This is no world for you. Stay in your forest and keep your trees green, and your friends protected. And good luck to you, for you are the last.”

And then they are away, the fading sound of hoofbeats leaving silence in its wake.

***

Long moments pass, and gradually normality returns to the glade.  The chirps of chiffchaffs and wood warblers compete with the distant drumming of a greater spotted woodpecker; a red squirrel bounds across the ground, returning from foraging to feed her hungry kittens; legions of bees and butterflies drift and flutter amongst the carpet of wildflowers. All is peaceful.

Then from out of the shadows steps the unicorn. 

He is a creature of rare magnificence, which of course he knows, for all unicorns are proud and vain. He is dark like the clear night sky is dark: black coat flecked with silver across his flanks and quarters, a reflection of the stars above. His mane is long and flowing, curling almost to his knees, though never knotting (it would not dare). He is tall and slender, with finely-feathered fetlocks, cloven hooves, and a tail that would put even the finest lion to shame. And his crowning glory, of course, is his magnificent spiraling horn which gleams like obsidian upon his noble brow. He is the lord of this forest, the guardian of its denizens, and his name is Dream.  

Dream comes to a stop next to the fallen oak and looks down upon the bird perched thereon. She has clearly been waiting for him, for she instantly takes flight, only to alight upon his shoulder.

“Did you hear them, lord?” she asks excitedly. “The humans? They were speaking of you!”

The unicorn turns his head to regard her out of one starlit eye. “I heard enough, Jessamy,” he says dismissively, before turning sharply on his haunches and making his way back into the shadows of the trees. He had been drawn out by the chatter of his charges regarding the human incursion into their realm, but he dislikes being so close to the forest’s borders. He feels Jessamy flare her wings for balance as he breaks into a swift trot, eager to return to his sanctuary deep within the woods, where his power is strongest and the laws of nature bend to his command. 

“They were saying that you are the last, lord!” Jessamy squawks. “Can it be so?”

“What would mortals know of the matter?” Dream tosses his head impatiently as he trots along. “Just because they have not seen any unicorns does not mean that they have all vanished. We know how to pass unseen in this world, and human eyes have ever been blind.”

“Yes, lord,” Jessamy acknowledges. “But now I think on it, we have not had the Lady Death bless our woods for many years, nor has the Lady Delirium come to dance with the butterflies… and when did you last hold counsel with the Lord Destiny?”

“They are busy in their own realms,” Dream snorts. “As I am here. The mortal world grows ever more dangerous; no doubt they do not seek to leave their domains unprotected to go visiting.”  

He slows to a walk as he enters  his sacred glade, deep in the heart of the forest. The oaks and ashes tower above him. The sunlight filtering through their canopies dapples the ground with green and golden light, and plays upon the clear waters of a deep, circular pool that sits in the very centre of the clearing. Here in the seat of his power, the world is exactly how Dream desires it to be. It is true that there are no real seasons here. Spring blossoms bloom alongside summer ripened fruits, and the days are gentle. The rain comes when he wishes it: to nourish the trees and replenish the streams,  but the harshness of winter is kept at bay.  Where in the wider forest his animals follow the natural rhythms of their lives- living and dying, hunter and hunted- here, around these sacred waters, all the creatures of Dream’s domain meet in peace. Here there is no predator or prey, no fear or bloodshed. The lion and his mate lie side by side with the wolf and the deer; the stoat the rabbit; the owl and the shrew… and if the years have turned outside the forest, their passing has had no impact here.  

Dream approaches the pool and gazes down at his reflection in the still water, thinking. In truth he is perturbed by the presence of humans in his forest. His woods have always been protected by his magic: hidden from mortal eyes, he has created and maintained a safe haven for the creatures under his care. Never before have men trespassed upon his land and threatened his subjects. He has not felt a waning of his power but perhaps something has shifted in the balance of the world…? Dream makes a decision. He must call his siblings, ask them if they have experienced similar.

He lowers his head to the water, casting his thoughts out. The pool is a scrying place: here, Dream is able to touch his horn to the water and call out to his siblings. No matter the distance, they will hear and be able to answer. Though he uses it seldom, indeed, Dream cannot recall the last time he called upon his family this way, always has he had an answer. This time, there is ringing silence in his head.

[lemonhemlock]

Thoughts on Maegor i and Aenys i ?

not a ton of super developed thoughts, but i did ponder a bit on targaryen foundational myths here with the choice of these two very, very different personalities as brothers. i also have a maegor tag for some fun back-and-forth with the ole anons

generally-speaking i enjoy maegor as a character bc he is SO over-the-top and his actions are so tremendously villainous it goes into moustache-twirling territory for me & i can't take him seriously. nearly every paragraph in his story legit makes me want to make the sign of the holy cross on myself. i, a reddit atheist. (jk jk) his stans are very, very strange though. i'm wary of targnation people who say they like maegor; they manage to come up with the most headache-inducing takes.

that being said!!! i feel like there should be more maegor content?? like, there are so many interesting - and dark! - avenues fans could explore via headcanons and fics. for example, i kind of think maegor/rhaena has a lot of potential as the fandom's next problematic ship that could start wars and get people cancelled? off the page she does feel a little like the one who got away in that visenya's marriage proposal between maegor and rhaena gets rejected, but he still ends up marrying her. you could even say he goes out of his way to do it?? by killing her brother-husband and defying the Faith's dogma (yet again!!) to marry her?? he even names her daughter aerea as his heir??

i mean, he was relentless in trying to get a son of his own, so there wasn't really any need for him to do that. he went so long without a named heir and took three (!) additional wives for this very purpose, so why would he suddenly feel the need to name a little girl? i wonder if he didn't do it out of some sentiment, since that little girl was rhaena's specifically. if he were to die without children, why would he even care who succeeded him anyway? jaehaerys and alysanne were also alive, yet he chose aerea specifically.

also rhaena is said to have tried to kill him during their wedding night, so that sounds pretty spicy! yet maegor with the terrible temper tantrums is not mad at her and names her daughter his heir the next day? while disinheriting jaehaerys? crazy! but! when rhaena flees!! he orders the hightowers to behead rhaella as punishment! what a silly goofy guy hhhehe! idk, i just find it interesting.

maegor also seems to have a bit of a power struggle with alyssa velaryon as well, i'm surprised he didn't try to marry her too. there is something to this idea of maegor ridding himself of his male relatives so as to rule over / control the female members of his family. maegor as the most unlikely (and awful) president of the targaryen ladies fanclub - there's a concept to ruminate over

another one of maegor's marriages which i find under-discussed is his first one, with ceryse hightower. the high septon's niece. not the most well-matched couple, though? she's 23, he's 13. so why? an attempt at assimilation mayhaps? the hightowers trying to integrate the targaryens further into westerosi society? (the faith was opposed to his marriage to rhaena) in any case, they were married for 14 years before maegor got a second wife, yet we have no information on how they got along. ceryse always maintained she was maegor's rightful and only wife. the dynamic with alys and tyanna must have been insane.

to come back a little to aenys. the idea that this weakling king managed to have such a fruitful marriage and sire so many children (and was popular with the ladies too!) whereas maegor was an abject failure in that regard.... lends itself to some narrative irony. :))

okay i don't necessarily think the OG post should have been in the tag of the ship they're criticizing like tumblr etiquette 101 people but also

is this person legitimately ok or did seeing lando and carlos hanging out trigger some sort of breakdown for the "mctwink" people

"carlos and lando have only hung out twice outside of f1" you clearly don't know shit. they've hung out twice this season alone mayhaps, probably more than that.

"carlos and lando aren't friends, they've said multiple times they're just competitors" okay? so have lando and oscar? what point are you trying to make?

"carlos is only using lando for publicity to get another seat" this isn't a slight to lando, but WTF DO YOU MEAN, carlos just had a perfect weekend (much better than damaging his floor in quali and taking a trip through the grass in the race 🤭) and you think he needs LANDO for publicity after that? bestie, sit down, you sound ridiculous. also going off about that pure electric ad as if lando's dad hasn't gotten half the paddock involved to advertise for him before lmao.

i also love the emphasis on "omg we only find out about mctwinks hanging out after the fact because oscar doesn't use lando for popularity" 99.9% of carlando hanging out away from the track has been confirmed by fans, not them, and if they have confirmed it, it was long after the fact.

can oscar fans grow the FUCK up please.

this is absolutely unhinged behaviour. and they’re complaining about ME????

this person clearly knows fuck all about carlando and should just keep their mouth closed about things they can’t comprehend. loser behaviour for real.

1. Fire Made Flesh (39) 2. The Family Dinner (27) 3. Starbucks - A College Experience (18) 4. The Widows Bite Back (11) 5. What could and never should have been (7)

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do! I am super bad at interactions so I am always anxious if I responded well but I do respond to every comment. Sometimes answers take some time if I have to process something for longer though. I love to hear from my readers and I love talking about my works and I believe if something has taken the time and effort to write something about them it's only fair to respond :)

5. What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

Since I (so far) only have two finished fics (not counting the OS Collections), I'd say The Widows Bite Back. (Wanted to put a Question Mark there but no it's pretty angsty I'd say xD)

6. What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

BAHAHAHA. Okay. That's a harder one. Again, don't really have a any finished fics going into that direction. I believe I can give you a less angsty than the angstiest one so....The Family Dinner? lmao I need to write a happy Fluff fic (Mayhap about Hvigon *snickers and runs away*)

7. Do you write crossovers?

I. ADORE. CROSSOVERS. I have too many. My current obsession is Vikings x HotD. But I am also EXTREMELY interested in Vikings x TLK because I want AND NEED to see TLK!Alfred absolutely DEMOLISH the Ragnarssons. (Search your heart, you know it to be true) I have so many lying around. My HUMONGOUS AU is a Multi-Crossover of MCU x SPN x Good Omens x Norse Mythology x Tokyo Ghoul. BIGGEST Monster in the room with us ngl. Otherwise, the Starbucks Fic is a MCU x SPN x The Boys Crossover, then I had thoughts on a SPN x Witcher Crossover, and loads more, but I'll stop here... xD (it already got out of hand, but I'll stop here)

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not yet. But I am scared. (But I am always scared so yeah)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I have started writing smut rather recently and am still very new to it, but hope I can finally strangle my inner priest (sry father). I so far only did Slash smut. I am sry if the joke is offensive, I cope with bad humour.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I am aware of. (Shamelessly copying that answer)

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I am aware of. (Shamelessly copying that answer, again)

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I did have a Whatsapp group for fic writing with a friend but we've never published it nor have we finished it. It was very, very on crack. It was an MCU x The Dome fic where the Villain was a German fitness coach who is kind of a meme in our country...let's say we had a great time xDD

13. What's your all-time favorite ship?

I have several. Most of them are made up by me. I am so unrelatable. BUT I therefore decided to give you two: One of mine own creations: Hvigon (Hvitserk x Aegon) (I really cannot not put it here, you'd know I'd be lying) One of the 'normal' ones: Stucky (Steve x Bucky) (I am a sucker for tragic gay couples what can I say) Fuck I have so many and cannot decide MOVING ON

14. What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

My AU is so huge and I am afraid to even post the first part I've finished already so...yeah...chances are I just finish the Timeline and the Database and the Lorebook and post those as my legacy before I ever post OR EVEN FINISH that one ksksksks

15. What are your writing strengths?

I don't really feel I can be the judge of that, honestly, I'd let my readers be the judge of that. But since it's asked, I feel like I am good at writing dialogue. Snappy exchanges, double meanings, innuendos (occasionally, not always). But, yeah, I don't really know about that for sure.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Descriptions. When I write I practically have the scene playing in my head and see everything and focus only on whatever the focus actually is and later realize I have not lost one word about the place or about the characters' appearance xD

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I LOVE IT. When it makes sense. It's hard to make it make sense. I learn languages in my free time and at college and with foreign languages it is more usual to just understand gibberish if one doesn't speak them and if a character speaks in a different language they know they'd naturally understand it themselves so...yeah, I have a huge problem with keeping things realistic xD But I actually love it when it's done - and maybe I should loose some of my thoughts about it lol

18. What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?

For Fandoms - The Last Kingdom. I don't know why but I don't feel like I know the characters well enough to do so just yet... LotR - I have talked to @errruvande about one of my ideas and I really would like to write that ngl Vikings - I mean I am kinda writing for that one BUT (hear me out): A non-crossover fic (yeah, I know, completely unheard of). I have a few ideas (among them a complete rewrite starting from Season 4b) but I am trying to concentrate on my active projects rn xD And for ships - I have a lot of them I'd love to write fics for. Again, most of them from my own creation (Deaniel (Dean Winchester x Daniel (OC)), Starlight (Peter Quill x Balder), (Loki x Caterína), just to list a few). For 'normal' ships I feel like I want to put Bagginshield here...I don't know why. It's something in my stomach that makes me want to do so...maybe it's nostalgia...idk. There are safe others too but I cannot think of any rn

19. What's your favorite fic you've written?

I really like Fire Made Flesh. Although it's not exactly the Hvigon Fic I had in mind it has become it's very own thing, surprised me on several occasions and already gave me lots of opportunities and challenges to improve my writing and plotting skills! Let's see if that holds up until the end xD

Once more, thank you SO MUCH for the tag <33

Whoever sees this and wants to join in pls do <3

[the-dead-will-dance]

Love my main pairing to death but I just realised that in the same way that they have a Depeche Mode lyric as a name for content about them, my new pairing deserves one too

Mind you the Percival/Brady line is on thin fucking ice because Brady is like a more realistic version of Xiaoshi's alter ego and that doesn't sit well with me

Holy shit why did I just realise that I named Xiaoshi's alter ego Holló in Hungarian which means raven or crow depending on how picky you are, meaning I should really go look up raven in Chinese to get him a name fitting with the theme

Distractions galore but at least I'm entertained

Back to my main point, need to find a Depeche Mode lyric so I can name my Percival/Brady content because snippets will definitely end up on here and I can't keep calling them by what looks like a godforsaken ao3 ship tag

Something something Get the Balance Right lyric? Mayhaps?

I'll get back to you on that one

Mayhaps I should make a general shipping tag instead. ))

We ain't mentioning that it's been more than a month since you originally tagged me @imsorrywhatsalifeagain

Tag game

Tag game: tag 9 people you’d like to get to know better.

Last song: Currently, am curating a playlist for an oc of mine. Rn playing is Have it Out by Mother Mother, which I decided not to add.

Currently watching: At this present moment in time, I am watching: Hannibal the series, Doctor Who (hundredth rewatch), Pose, and American Horror Story

Three ships: Eri x Red x Lance, or even Faith x Red + Red x Lance. Like love triangle type of polycule w them. But everyone is dating in the Eri version. Umm, and Tei x therapy. But if we're not just talking about romantic ships, then Tei x Yuri. Idk what they have, but it's something

Favorite color: Reb

Currently consuming: Ummmm well the last thing I ate was a kakugiri ramen which was delicious. That was a fair few hours ago now tho n idk what my parents are gonna make for dinner. If they don't make something for me tho, I'll have a steak and gravy pie. Oh my god I can already smell the chips that would go really well with it.

It was quite difficult choosing what to eat for lunch: I was more craving a tom yum but it's in my routine to usually have the kakugiri, so I was conflicted..... Hell, we'll probably get the tom yum next time, all things considered

First ship: How'm I supposed to remember that, that woulda been ages ago............ I guess something I started shipping a long time ago would've been Jaehee and Zen?

Relationship status: I also am aroace. @alwaysminiatureking is me qpp, but want another relationship.....

Last Movie: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I guess What by Bo Burnham counts as a movie? But does it count if I barely watched it cuz I quickly fell asleep to it?

Currently working on: I'm doing a bunch of stuff. As mentioned, am going thru songs to put on an oc playlist. If you mean more in general tho, I'm downloading dvds, I'm writing both fanfic and original stories, I'm trying to move out, I'm knitting a scarf, and whatever. Tomorrow I'm going food festival in town <2
