ok now i got happiness that is going to last for hours
#and i have my best friend from across the globe to thank for it#she drew me as my favorite animal. the one i've always loved and sadly learned to be ashamed of for loving#she single handedly made me inspired to try and tackle horse drawing again#we can joke on this however much we want. i had a big horse phase as a kid. i got the chance to do horse riding for about a year#but it was cut short for a few reasons#namely i was not helped through eating issues linked to psychological health and thus i always under-ate#and as consequence of that i was extremely weak. would lose strength in my limbs so quick after 15 minutes of activity#that i'd fall mid lesson and risked seriously injuring myself multiple times#having a particular mother also meant she didn't try to investigate on why that was and just got mad. so i eventually had to give up#but my passion stayed strong. i had horse videogames. the only things i managed to ask for as a kid were horse plushies or the bayer series#of model horses which cost a lot. and i felt guilty asking for something like that. but kids love things and i never made a fuss about them#i kept the small booklet with me at all times advertising the items. i remember i used to bring it with me by the local pool too#i read encyclopedias on horses. and breed catalogues too. and magazines. and i used to draw them even if i knew it would suck#horses meant so much to me that i started collecting a horse card game too called Bella Sara#the illustrations in there inspired me. so much. i used to browse for hours. sort them in an album#which is the one i showed my best friend there. i keep it close to me. i'll never throw it away#it means so much that after all this time. kid me finally gets to be honest about one of their special interests again#and it is welcomed with open arms instead of judged or treated superficially or worse mocked or accused about#people might be lucky to not have this problem. but to me having someone be willing to have these interactions with me isn't normal#it's lucky and i feel blessed for it. it's not my standard. i feel undeserving of it#because i've been taught the opposite is the normal course of events for me. so i already did this in private chat#but i'll mention it here on my semi-diary blog again so it's here forever. that i'm grateful#and i am lucky to know archi and all she does for me is tenfold helpful and appreciated than what she might think

Hi there! I am in Florida, and at this very moment, trying to dissociate from hurricane Ian that is beginning to hit my town. ๐ฌ So I figured I'd distract myself by asking for ships. If you see this elsewhere too, I just...don't like talking about myself very much so I'm only writing this once.
She/her, INFP, Hufflepuff. 5'2, generally pale, curvy, but not overweight (yet, lol), blonde hair (but it's currently The Little Mermaid bright red, lol), blue-green eyes. I love my hair and my eyes and this is the only thing you'll ever hear me say I like about my appearance.
My favorite thing about myself is my sense of humor. And to a lesser extent, my sarcasm. I never really feel I have much to offer people, especially in difficult times, but I can make my friends laugh when they are crying. And a few weeks ago one of my good friends said to me that every time she goes home after spending time with me, her husbsnd says she is always in such a happy mood. And that was just like...the nicest thing anyone could say to me. ๐ I am an introvert until I am comfortable with someone and then I can be loud and frequently silly. Years of customer service in my past made me decent at bullshitting small talk, but ugh, it drains my batteries. I will get along with anyone who isn't an asshole, but I do not get close to most people easily. I don't like conflict, so I can get passive aggressive with people I'm close to if I have any issues over something. Trying very hard to change that, as I know it's not a great look.
Other random shit about me: I have anxiety, but (I think) I've learned to hide it well in public most of the time? My brain is just a fucking mess, but I will joke about it all day! ๐ I love all animals. I'd cuddle an alligator if it wouldn't eat me. I've got cats, dogs, rats and a bunny. I've wanted a horse my whole life. My favorite author is Neil Gaiman. I love going to the beach and swimming in the ocean. I love museums and history and learning about lore/fairytales/monsters/cryptids. I love Marvel movies/comics, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I occasionally do conventions and cosplay, though I'm not very good at the cosplay bc I cannot sew. Lol. I've been Rose and Amy from Doctor Who and Kate Bishop (Hawkeye). It's really fun! I wish I were better at it. Love bowling and mini golf. Sadly, none of my friends do.
I love music and going to shows used to be my thing! Like I've seen over 100 bands and concerts. I don't have the time/money/energy to do it anymore, but those were absolutely the best years of my life. I've traveled to other states and across the country for a couple of bands (The Matches and Motion City Soundtrack) and made some of the best friends just waiting in lines. I have one tattoo and it's a crow with a blue button eye that the singer of my favorite band drew for me.
I'm gonna shut up now. Lol. Sorry I got carried away. I'm REALLY trying to distract myself from thinking about this hurricane rn. Thanks in advance if you made it through the rambling and decide to do anything with it. ๐๐
Hi love! I hope that you're doing well -- my thoughts are with you and everyone else in Florida ๐
I ship you with . . .
Lewis Nixon!
There are so many reasons I see this ship working, so I'm gonna try to explain them all coherently lol
Okay, first of all, when I say Nixon loves you, I mean all of you -- your personality, your looks, everything. He would constantly be complimenting your appearance and making sure that you know how gorgeous you are, because he wants you to see yourself the way that he sees you
Sarcastic duo (but not in a mean, argumentative way! The fun, only teasing each other way) He loves your sense of humor, and if he's ever a little too in his head, he comes to you because he knows that you'll be able to ground him by just joking around with him and making him smile
When you first meet, he thinks that you're very shy and is trying to figure out ways to bring you out of your shell so that he can get to know you better. The second that you get comfortable around him -- bam! He's the immediate embodiment of the heart eyes emoji, because omg she's so much fun and I'm gonna talk to her for hours
Nix is pretty comfortable in public places -- he grew up attending parties and galas because of his parents, so he knows how to politely work a room if he has to make an appearance. He knows that you get anxious, though, and he'll hold your hand the entire night, gently rubbing his thumb along your knuckles to soothe you as you make the rounds while socializing
After the war, Nixon is really intent on just enjoying himself -- in the various different ways that entails. And now that you're together, he's gonna make sure that you enjoy yourself, too
He takes you everywhere (and don't worry, because he can afford it -- no worries about sparing any expense) You want to go to a museum? Not really his scene, but he loves watching your face light up all day when you learn something new. You want to go to the beach? He's rented a boujee house for the week. You want to go to a concert? Front row seats. Everything is an adventure, and what's better than having an adventure with someone you love?
At some point, he thinks it might be nice to settle down somewhere. Or at least to have a nice place to come back to. You're a little surprised by how big the property he buys for this purpose is, and when you tell him so, he just smirks, "Well, where else are we gonna put the horses?"
You didn't get carried away at all, darling! Again, I hope you're doing well ๐ Thanks for the request, and I hope you like this ๐๐๏ธ

Firstly, I hope you and your family are doing OK since the hurricane and that it didn't cause too much damage! Secondly I'm so sorry this has taken me so long to get to, I've been all over the place lately between graduating and starting my new job๐
I ship you with Johnny Martin
He's obsessed with your red hair, like he thinks it's the coolest thing ever and it looks so good on you.
You're alike in the sense that you both need to be comfortable with someone before you feel like you can really be yourself.
Of course you two seemed to click right away. You both made a few sarcastic teasing comments and it was like you'd been friends for years.
He's always quick to remind you of your worth, and how you always seem to brighten people's lives without even trying
He totally get that sometimes you just need time to yourself to recharge, and he's always happy to just sit quietly with you or leave you do your own thing in your own space. You'll come find him when you're ready.
No matter what you say, he thinks your cosplays are great and he's always super encouraging.
He's ridiculously competitive, and loves nothing more than trying to beat you at mini golf. He scoffs and acts annoyed when you beat him, but really he just loves seeing you smile.
He definitely intends to start taking you to concerts again, cause he knows you loved going to them.
Hope you like it x
