For the soft asks:

ivory - describe your pajamas?

buttery - favorite snack?

nightlight - do you read before bed?

sapphos - favorite poet?

Ivory: i have several of them but the one i like the most is this very simple red t-shirt/dark blue short trousers pair that is veeeery comfy! I also have 3 made of silk that my mum gave me and I rarely use them because silk is- is an important material 🫠

Buttery: fruit! Appels are an easy go-to snack, grapes too(whenever is the season)!!! Or idk some bread with something, be it sweet or not, doesn't matter too much. Orrrrr... kinder milk slice>>>>> kinder products are my weakness 😫

Nightlight: if I don't it means I am VERY tired and it's almost worrying... going to bed without having read something, be it a ff, a comic, a book or anything else is a rare occurrence.

Sapphos: mhhhh. Complicated question. I'm not sure I have a favorite one yet... like- I live my dear Cecco Angiolieri because he was unhinged and I love his poem "S'io fossi foco"

But other than that let's see the first ones that come to mind:

Catullus: both the romantic poems and the... more descriptive ones are a fave

And Eugenio Montale, his poem "Ho sceso, dandoti il braccio, almeno un milione di scale"/I went down the stairs, giving you my arm, at least one million of stairs"

The title is long but it's very romantic and sad and my Italian literature professor described it as "the most romantic poem in all Italian history" so- I me damn...

Another poem I really like is "August 10th" by Giovanni Pascoli that talks about the day his father was killed. Also very sad, but really lovely. I like Pascoli's ideal of the poets and his style ^w^

Another poem that really touched me was "if I must die" by Refaat Alareer. Really left an impression on me and it's one of the few poems I can almost cite by memory because it's so raw I can't forget it.

I remember the day we were studying Ruoert Brooke's "The soldier" and the first few words "if I should die think only this of me..." and I was reminded of Refaat's poem.

If we think about it he was also a war poet and although the start of their poems are rather similar imo the message, the way they continue couldn't be more different... and I don't know it feels like a wrong confrontation but it was bugging me.

Also, "Dulce et decorum est" by Wilfred Owen and most of the works by several war poets are fascinating to me.

Yep I know the answer was "favorite one" but really couldn't choose! Just 2 years ago I "didn't get the hype" about poetry and now... both thanks to my former professor, and Megatron(yup... I know ahaha) I am DEEPLY fascinated by it. Poetry can express things simple prose cannot and I can't help but be in awe when I find a good poetry book

Howdy! I see that match ups are open and I was wondering who from MTMTE/LL I would match up with (if you dont have time that's okay)

I am 5ft 5inches, ace, I have auburn long hair, brown eyes. I have sever dyscalculia (difficulties with basic mathematics such as addition, subtraction etc) I've been doing martial arts for about 15 years now. I enjoy reading just about anything as long as it's not an autobiography. I love trips to mountains and just being in the mountains in general. I am afraid of the dark, people touching me, bears, spiders and drowning. I've been doing yoga for 3 years and now I'm really flexible. I wake up at 6:30am or at the very latest 7:00am everyday and I go to bed at 10:30. I love having a schedule and routine. I enjoy doing hard work and getting my hands dirty. My favorite color is purple and I drink tea to the point that other people find it concerning. Have a great day and stay safe!

I match you with Perceptor!

You might be a little small, but you are a warrior and as a former Wrecker, Perceptor has huge respect towards you. Not only are you calm and close to nature, but you are book smart.

It doesn't bother Perceptor if you can't do math. Many bots in ship can't so it's honestly not a big deal to him. He would happily help you with any math problems if your job as Liasion gives you any.

He does his best to keep you safe and that includes feeling safe. For your fear of the dark, he built you a nightlight that displays your home galaxy all over your room. It's not too bright to keep you up and not dark enough to leave you feeling scared.

Perceptor enjoys nature with you and is impressed by how flexible you are. You actually encourage him to try some with you. When you can't visit nature, he creates a virtual reality where you can enjoy the mountain scenery.

Likes how precise you are with your time and loves how you take routines seriously. It's so refreshing and nice to love someone like you. Asks you to help him with some stuff around the lab that requires a small set of hands and you feel proud afterward when he tells you what a great help you are.

Enjoys morning energon with you while you enjoy your tea. The same goes for brunch, lunch, snack time, and so on. For your anniversary, he takes you out to an alien planet to enjoy the beautiful scenery and local tea.
