#maybe its a meteor shower that theyre watching

[werewolfnightwalker]

I just think that, post war, Touya and Keigo should sit on Touya's childhood swing set in the Todorokis' back yard and watch the stars together. With crickets chirping, fireflies dancing, an owl hooting in the distance, and their fingers just barely brushing between them.

well. might as well design a pony dress for the grand galloping gala.

Just a buttload of questions

I was tagged by the lovely @jessiohhh. Thank you chickadee. Took me forever to finish, but I got there. :D 

Apparently this is to help you get to know your tumblr peeps better. 

Gonna put most of these under a cut to save y’alls dashes.

1. Do you prefer writing with a black pen or blue pen? I guess if I had to choose it would be black. I don’t know why. A good black ballpoint is a lovely thing to have.

2. Would you prefer to live in the country or city? Depends what stage of my life I am in. I want to retire to the country but otherwise wanna live in the city.

3. If you could learn a new skill what would it be? To sew and make clothes. Gosh how different my life (and my wardrobe) would be if I could fix clothes, alter clothes, MAKE clothes. I want this skill so much!

4. Do you drink your tea/coffee with sugar? Don’t drink coffee. My tea has half a sugar. I worked my way all the way down from two sugars and I’m proud. :)

5. What was your favourite book as a child? My Dad used to read me Enid Blyton books when I was little. My favourite series was probably The Naughtiest Girl in the School series.

6. Do you prefer baths or showers? Definitely showers. I want to like baths, but whenever I take one I just feel sweaty and gross.

7. If you could be a mythical creature, which one would it be? A fairy. I’ve been obsessed with fairies since I was little.

8. Paper or electronic books? Probably electronic books. Easier to read and travel. 

9. What is your favourite item of clothing? Gosh I don’t know. I literally sat here thinking about it for a couple of minutes and I can’t pick a favourite. I guess by default it falls to the item that I wear the MOST which would be my black combat boots. I wear them almost constantly.

10. Do you like your name or would you like to change it? Nah I tend to think Laura is a bit boring. I like my middle name Eileen though.

11. Who is a mentor to you? I’m kind of without one at the moment. Thats just the situation my current life is in right now. 

12. Would you like to be famous and if so, what for? I would like to be “Author Famous”. Like have soooooo much money, and dedicated fans who like my work. But nobody recognises me in the street. 

13. Are you a restless sleeper? Yes.

14. Do you consider yourself a romantic person? No, not in the conventional sense.

15. Which element best represents you? I wish I was earth but I would say probably water. Can be dangerous or calm. Flexible. 

16. Who do you want to be closer to? Hmmm I feel bad that I’m not closer to my godson. But ya see, he’s an annoying lil shit. At least the stage he’s going through right now is really obnoxious. So spending time with him is just... not fun.

17. Do you miss someone at the moment? All my Canada friends.

18. Tell us about an early childhood memory. I’ve talked about early childhood memories on here a lot. I don’t want to repeat a story so lemme think a moment..... I remember being obsessed with pressing buttons when I was younger. I mean, most kids are. But you see my family lived on a dairy farm, and in the dairy where we milked the cows and stored the milk there was like... a WALL OF BUTTONS. And levers, and switches and other doo-dads. And like... I just wanted to press them all. But I wasn’t allowed. Obviously. Only at certain times during the day would my father call me over and lift me up so I could press one particular button. So yeah, I remember that. “Helping” my Dad in the dairy and being excited whenever I got to press the buttons. I never even got old enough to learn what the buttons did before we moved off our farm. :(

19. What is the strangest thing you have eaten? Hmmm, probably escargot. Snails. They were delicious.

20. What are you most thankful for? My newborn nephew.

21. Do you like spicy food? Yes. But spicy food does not like me.

22. Have you ever met someone famous? Yeah last year I was working on a feature film that had a Disney starlet working on it.

23. Do you keep a diary or journal? No way. Too hard. The only time I keep journals is for really important stuff that needs documentation. Like a medical journal when I’m sick. Or an anxiety journal when my GAD gets real bad.

24. Do you prefer to use a pen or a pencil? Pen I guess.

25. What is your star sign? Libra

26. Do you like your cereal soggy or crunchy? Bit of both. If you can get a mouthful with both then thats like... bliss.

27. What would you want your legacy to be? Do I need to want it to be anything? Cause I don’t. Like I don’t really care all that much. Maybe I will later in life.

28. Do you like reading, what was the last book you read? I dont think its accurate to say I like reading when I literally never do it anymore. Except for fanfic. I listen to audiobooks a bit. I just finished listening to The Stand by Stephen King.

29. How do you show someone you love them? Cuddles, I’m a cuddler.

30. Do you like ice in your drinks? Yes.

31. What are you afraid of? Wasted potential and never really getting where I want to get.

32. What is your favourite scent? That smell after a sun shower. Everything is wet and the sun is making it evaporate into the atmosphere. Love that smell.

33. Do you address older people by their name or surname? Not to be cheeky but like, context is a thing. Depends on the context.

34. If money was not a factor, how would you live your life? Not terribly different. I would still work. I guess I would travel a lot more. Since that is something that I would love to do but can’t because I don’t have the funds.

35. Do you prefer swimming in pools or the ocean? Theyre both the same level of scary to me. Yes, I suffer from an irrational fear of pool sharks. So I guess I would go ocean because at least with the ocean you have the surf waves to make it fun.

36. What would you do if you found £50 on the ground? Look around to see if someone had dropped it, then if there was no one, pocket it.

37. Have you ever seen a shooting star? Yes. Last time I went camping there was a meteor shower. Wait, do they count as shooting stars? If not then no.

38. What is the one thing you would want to teach your children? Compassion.

39. If you had to have a tattoo, what would it be and where would you get it? I want to get a bunch of babies-breath flowers tattooed in the middle of my back. Its so specific because I plan my tattoos for a long time before I get them.

40. What can you hear now? The fish tank filter at my brothers house.

41. Where do you feel the safest? In my bedroom. In my bed. Laptop and phone and kitty nearby.

42. What is the one thing you want to overcome/conquer? My fear of relationships and emotional intimacy.

43. If you could travel back to any era, what would it be? I honestly don’t know. There are a lot of cool places (but like, usually only if youre in the upperclass). Ancient Greece maybe? Jane Austen era? Woodstock? I can’t decide.

44. What is your most used emoji? This lil dude. 🙃 I prefer it to the regular smiley face.

45. Describe yourself using one word. eclectic

46. What do you regret the most? Not having my mental health issues diagnosed at an earlier age.

47. Last movie you saw? In the cinemas? A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood back in January (actually got my wallet out and looked at my ticket stubs). Just in general - I watched The Florida Project last night with my bro.

48. Last tv show you watched? My Little Pony. Been watching episodes to help me fall asleep.

49. Invent a word and it’s meaning. Derp-a-derp. My bro and I have been saying that over the last few days when we can’t remember the word we are trying to say. Like “go get me the derp-a-derp” or “what was I saying about the derp-a-derp”. Its a good placeholder.

-----

Annnnnd imma taaaaaaag.... like I said, this is a long one so no pressure (it took me like a week to get through all the questions).... anyway I tag @hichie, @thepragmaticrebel, @heavensdick and @serendipitous-magic.

i feel like the recent hb episode shouldve been more focused on octavia and loona tbh

like if i were to semi-rewrite it, i would include via maybe stealing the book to take notes on the portal spell, and leave the actual book where she found it, so no one else notices shes gone. the first scenes of via with stolas can remain the same. Blitz asks her to not be so rude and they get into an agrument about it. maybe then, loona decides she needs to cool off before she starts punching him, and concidentally goes to the same city via went, taking the book with her. later stolas realises vias gone and asks blitz to take care of it, maybe he remembers about the meteor shower now, maybe not. blitz asks loona to keep an eye out on her, she ignores it but scrolls pentagram and sees vias posts then. insert chase scene and setup to smog scene. loonas like well this sucks wanna go to some mountains i know? they shouldnt have any smog there. they open a portal to mountains in the desert and go thru. now theres a couple routes we can follow here

loona accidentally gets into a town in said mountains and (since the release date was october) people r all dressed up for trick or treating. theyre likely in front of a door or driveway and get handed some candy by someone who says "nice costumes! theyre so realistic" they decide to go trick or treating, possibly kicking some kids, and talk to each other. eventually the meteor shower begins and they run to the nearest high place to watch. they bond some more. they decide to go back to hell once its done

they accidentally get into a mountain town in the middle of a festival. in this verison loona couldve also found via before the nighttime and said that la gets too smoggy to see anything. they have fun festival times, until the night falls and they take a hike to a higher spot to watch the meteor shower. they bond and talk more, until its over. they both hesitantly go back to hell.

they watch the meteor shower, talking about how shit their dads are and generally bonding with each other. maybe they fall asleep but get wakened up by a sheriff and they hightail it away. instead of going back to hell immediately, they decide to do another fun thing (arcade? destroying things? laser tag? idfk, i dont know their hobbies or what interests theyd share, i only know that loona likes destruction and mobile games, and that via likes music) they then go to hell

when they get to hell, blitzo is waiting for them, extremely fucking worried (mainly scared about stolas) loona growls at him while hes doting and probably ends up shoving him away. blitz calls stolas and he immediately shows up for his "little via" and she blows up at him while crying. she tqlks about how she felt abandoned even after he said hed never abandon her and asks if he even remembered today. she does the same, you hate her more than you love me line. she might say shes moving out far away from stella and stolas the first chance she gets. stolas tries comforting and pacifying her, but it doesnt work. she does begrudgingly agree to go back to the palace and have a homebaked desert and/or dinner, with promises to go do something fun after stellas fully moved out. loona also goes home with blitzo, who tucks her in and maybe its then we get the loredump about the pound she was in. she tells him that its enough with that sappy story and to let her go to bed. he does, and maybe theres a joke in there about him opening the door to add more things to his goodnight to her, closing it, and then adding some more (with her throwing a pillow at him at the end of it). loona gets up, and crinkles an old picture and throws it in the trash. she sits against the wall and cries. she then takes the picture and uncrinkles it, revealing it to be when she was adopted and looks at it for a minute. she tosses it onto the ground and tries to go to sleep
