Go for the concert. Screw it. Tomorrow is not promised so JUST GO

@koalamb replied to your post “would it be worth it to go to a concert for a kpop...”:

go go go! even if you don't end up thinking it's the best night ever, it's an experience! and usually concerts are always fun, there's new people to meet etc 8D

@january-summers replied to your post “would it be worth it to go to a concert for a kpop...”:

I vote go. Do you have someone you could go with? That way even if it’s not the big fan experience, it’s still a reason to go out with a friend for a night? (But even if it’s just you, you deserve a fun night out!)

the Squad has convinced me, concert time it is 🫡🫡🫡

[kommunisti]

same with the eyelash wish!! mine's been the same for like a decade but every time one falls off you gotta blow a wish on it. doesnt hurt to do it so why not

eyelash wish buddies 🫡🤝 and yeah it's not like it's harmful so why not :D often i just wish the day will go well so fhdjdj. not the highest of stakes

8, 10, 15! For the book meme. Also happy holidays :3

thank you and happy holidays to you as well 🥰💖

8. what is the first book you remember reading yourself?

this answer is extremely unrelatable, but jussikese seitse sõpra (juss' seven friends) by silvi väljal, i must have been like 5 or 6 at the time? and i remember this because i absolutely detested this book with every fibre of my being. i've not read it since, so i have no idea why, but my anger is written into my bones

10. do you have a guilty fav?

i try not to feel guilty about what i like, but i do think of the di kim stone series by angela marsons as kind of a guilty pleasure. 's all fast paced kinda trashy police procedural vibes, which i love 🤭

15. recommend and review a book.

our wives under the sea by julia armfield, which was easily my favourite book that i read this year! it's such an achingly melancholic little book, that skirts delightfully close to horror at times, but is mostly about grief and loss and guilt, because the person you're grieving for is still there with you.

i simply adored the almost dream-like quality of the prose and the imagery presented. if anyone remembers my whining about annihilation last year, i think this book comes pretty close to delivering what i wanted from that story.

Re: the girl with the scissor me sign, it's. Actually a running thing in aew right now that involves 1) a tag team's real actual dad being stolen by another tag team 2) selling merch to straight men that has the phrase 'scissor me daddy ass' . Yeah idk either what's happening 🤷

I clearly was not at the devil's sacrament but if straight men want to figure out how to scissor I support them

i'm doing my part !!

1. Are you named after anyone?

Not that I know of. Had i been amab, mom would have named me after the man she believed should have been her soulmate (but wasn't my dad). They met in Italy while she was interrailing and her wristwatch died when he introduced himself. (His name was Alex)

2. When was the last time you cried?

Around and after April 19, after hearing the news of Moon Bin's passing.

3. Do you have kids?

No, but I would love to have someday. I'm just not in a situation where it would be wise for me to raise a child, I feel.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

No, that's not really my speed.

5. What is the first thing you notice about a person?

Outfit and overall expression of self. The manner in which they treat me. (I mostly meet customers. You can tell instantly which ones are nice)

6. What’s your eye color?

Green. The type of annoying green that ya authors wax poetic abt lol you know what I mean

7. Scary movie or happy ending?

These two are not mutually exclusive. A satisfying ending is more important, but I would prefer if its also a happy one. I'm trying to watch more scary things.

8. Any special talents?

I can pop most of my joints. I love organising and categorising things for myself and for others. It's pretty difficult to deter me.

9. Where were you born?

Ivalo, northern Finland. I have not lived there since I was a toddler

10. What are your hobbies?

Gardening, bullet journaling, digital drawing. Tabletop rpgs (starfinder and dnd, we used to play pathfinder). Reading and trying to be more active in watching different movies. Id love to say video games but ive only really played The Sims 4 and Acnh lately. Running when the weather allows it.

11. Do you have any pets?

Not anymore, but I used to have an older gentleman miniature poodle who was too tall to actually fit the miniature category. I love him dearly. One day I would like to get another dog, probably another poodle. I love how particular they are about things.

12. What sports do you/have you played?

I used to compete in swimming until I started high school. I've also danced a wide variety of genres from ages 7 to 19, and attended a couple of national competitions for modern dance. I had to quit because my joints got too fucked up and I fell out of friendship with my back then bestie. Now I just run and do home youtube workouts because I don't like going to the gym.

13. How tall are you?

161 cm ish I think? Which is like... 5'3 or sth

14. Favourite subject in school?

I've always loved languages, and had incredibly supportive teachers both in finnish and English as a foreign language. Swedish as well, but I never quite clicked with those teachers on the same level hence why my Swedish is more ..so-so. Art obv. Honestly? Everything else except for maths, physics and chemistry I found enjoyable. Oh and .. social economics? Probably would have liked the subject but I hated the teacher. Aside from those, learning new things has always been a joy.

15. Dream job?

Honestly? Something that won't drain me and actually leaves me with savings and a will to live.

Bonus: any significance to your blog's name: its the finnish version of my main blog's url, koalamb. Literally just a mashup of two fun little guys who are both known to be .. not the smartest cookies out there.

Tagging @varsbaby @moviestarmijoo @zeesqueere @seekingthestars @sapphicshawol @alexanderfuckingwept @phoradendron if you're up for it, but honestly if you see this and want to do it you can say I tagged you xoxo. Feel free to ignore, but I'd love to learn more abt mine moots

Ohhh sky is so good!! I used to play this but I also wish it wasn’t so heavy on multiplayer 🥲 just lemme explore by myself

It’s from the same team as journey and flower though! Journey gives you another player who plays at the same time, but I .. don’t think that always happens ? It’s a super pretty game tho, lots to explore

My fave is still abzu though, it also has some people from the same crew I’m pretty sure, but they’re under a different company. In abzu you get to explore the oceans!!

Ohhh, I’ve played Abzu, it’s really good. Is Sky on Steam? It sounds like something I might like to check out.

okay noted, that's two votes for Abzu, now i must check it out!!!! 😆❤️

sky IS super pretty, i'm very much enjoying the visuals and the soundtrack so far, it's really just the multiplayer thing that's tripping me up rn fjiewoaf (that and i wish i had a MAP but that's a personal problem lolololol)

i'm playing sky on Switch and i know it was a mobile game first! i just searched Steam and i didn't see it :( full name is Sky: Children of the Light by thatgamecompany, if you wanna look!! it's free so if you can find it, it's worth giving it a shot, nothing to lose!!

[a-blue-tree-man]

@koalamb for you!!!! i love your boy!!!!!!!!!!!! he’s so pretty and sparkly and lovely!!!!!!!!!!

Top 5 fragrances?

1. Mugler Angel (edt)

I have the comet bottle and I still haven't tried the current formulation or any edp for that matter. It's just very memorable, It was my signature for a while in my late teens. I just love how hedonistic it is, as the mother of all gourmands. Made me fall in love with patchouli. It's referenced constantly but I don't think there's anything out there that really compares.

2. Rochas Tocade

My namesake... It's very easy to approach, it's like an ambery powdered-sugar thing for me. Rose is a listed note and many compare it to turkish delight but I don't get it much, maybe something rose water-esque and green in the background. I like it because I keep noticing new things in it ever so often... It's special to me because it kind of awoke my interest in fragrances again, I wanted to get it because I remembered my mom owning a bottle during my childhood and googling it I found out it was originally brought out on my birth year. I have the 2018 version.

3. Etat Libre d'Orange Divin' Enfant

My newest favourite. I find it hard to describe but it constantly makes me go "what's that lovely smell..... WAIT, it's me". If I had to pick one fragrance to wear on the daily, atm I'd go with this one. I bought it because @fruitchouli compared it to Lush Sikkim Girls and that's one of my favourites, this one's more subtle.

4. Lush Sikkim Girls

The naming is kinda sus but the scent itself is just.... like there's this old Yardley perfume ad with the tag line: "A new way to burn incense. You're the fire." and that's LITERALLY what this smells like. Recently discontinued and I suspect they might bring it back in the more expensive perfume line.... Anyway I wanted to try it specifically because ppl said it made them smell like they were burning and I found that really fascinating. It's like a sweet smoke smell.

5. Alkemia Perfumes Fetish

So this is an indie brand on Etsy and this perfume oil is actually discontinued. They do sell custom blends, I think, so it should be possible to request the same type of scent from them. Anyway, it's the best leather perfume I've ever tried. It just smells like roses & leather which is, of course, very me. The shipping & taxes when buying from the US costs an absurd amount though.

I don't know the context I've just seen the memes and was like what did I even do to retroactively make our ancestors hate each other. and I support giving short people boxes for better angles of attack.
