tagged by @valiantnomore <3 <3 <3 thank you for the tag! :D i havent done one of these in so long!

Three ships: qifrey/therapy <3 jkjk 

miyuki kazuya/sawamura eijun (crossfire permanently changed my brain chemistry)

mei changsu/xiao jingyan (i havent actively sought out nif content in like a year but every once in a while i think about either of these two for like a second too long and it takes me out. i have so many FEELINGS)

Last song: i did this ask game while listening to the album 千分の一夜物語 スターライト by amazarashi so take your pick XD i will say it was 空っぽの空に潰される. i really like the chorus of the song because it has a nice rhythm in japanese which is 

楽しけりゃ笑えばいいんだろ

when something’s fun, you laugh, right?

悲しい時は泣いたらいいんだろ

Last movie: the new ant man movie! (i saw it with @maebird-melody and another friend :D) i actually had no idea there was even a new ant man movie until like an hour before we went to see it because i dont know anything about marvel

Currently reading: im in the middle of rereading Nine Quarters of Jerusalem by Matthew Teller! i think it’s a really interesting look at the old city of jerusalem through stories of people, especially palestinians and ethnic and religious minorities, who call it home. it does a great job of giving the reader a picture of a living, breathing city rather than the different kinds of ideas of the past and the future people project upon the city without having lived there. also it rips into the british empire so big plus for that

Currently watching: i am super duper bad at watching stuff like so bad so i have no idea actually. i am relistening to the adventure zone balance arc if that counts!

Currently consuming: i bought a sencha tea in japan last month that i really like! i am trying not to consume it too quickly because i dont want to run out but it’s so hard XD

also i am going through spray paint like there’s no tomorrow bc i have two weeks to finish my thanatos cosplay and the com crunch is so frickin real

Currently craving: the things i would do for in n out burger

vingilot or earrame?

look you fucker

jk i love you

probably vingilot because i’m currently going through an elwing/eärendil phase and also that boat is a star and we all know i love space. also also vingilot means flower foam, which i think is prettier than sea wing.

make me choose

thank you dear aaaaaaa

 i like my face?? like the shape of it 

i’m not comfortable with working with people in general but i’m good at making people do their work and organizing them if the situation calls for it 

i guess i’m fun at parties because i’m always the person that’s already insane even still sober 

but i’m still very quiet and i value silence 

i can walk without making a sound if i want to and scaring people this way gives me life

Shipper tag game

tagged by @tiesanjiaoshenanigans <33

What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care about anymore?

oh god i dont even know. probably any silm ship i liked since i just outgrew that part of my life organically and also dennor probably?

Which ship would you consider your first one?

percabeth easily

Your first fanfic was about which couple?

it was dennor hetalia

Do you remember the first couple you saw fanart of?

most likely percabeth since i got tumblr literally just to follow viria for the art

Have you ever gotten into ship discourse?

yes i was 13 and i didnt like fruk. i made an apology drawing that said 'im sorry fruk shippers' on a sign being held up by a sad girl. i was 13. since then? not really. i dont tend to have the time or energy to actively argue with people i disagree with. to me theres no point + it doesnt matter

Did you use to have any NOTP or have one currently?

im opinionated so absolutely!! didnt like hk/iceland (hetalia) or fruk (hetalia again lol). didnt like yuri/otabek (yoi), most byleth/student ships (femblem), jeanluc (when i was into genshin). currently dont like renheng (it's just not my thing), jing yuan/fu xuan (also not my thing) or dan heng/anyone tbh (although i make exceptions for tb). i dont have any massive reasons for disliking them theyre just either not my thing or dont align with my hcs (shrug)

any jing yuan/hcq feels vaguely icky to me because they knew him as a teenager while they were adults (aside from yingxing since his age is more ambiguous and it seems like he mightve grown up at the same time jy did?)

Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read?

brb checking my ao3 history

oh my god is was a fucking dddne dabi/hawks fic i found when i was looking through trans tags. i havent read or watched mha it just sounded interesting. i liked it and its here if you want to read it (mind the tags)

Currently, do you have any OTPs?

weirdly no massive ones for hsr which is my main fandom. i have ships i like tho!! kafblade, stellemarch and bronseele. also i think clara/yanqing is adorable in concept. arranging playdates between my daughter and jing yuans son. i also think voidwelt would be really interesting

Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?

not rlly!! i tend not to care too much about canon when it comes to shipping, so i hardly even pay it attention

Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?

not rlly!! if there is i cant remember them

Do you have any ship that, in the past, would've been considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?

any rpf ship tbh. i honestly think rpf is fine as long as you dont project its contents onto the very real people it's based off of.

What is your favorite crack ship?

velite/argenti

What is the couple you read the most fanfics about?

i dont read fanfic v often (combination of bad attention span, really specific tastes, etc) but when i do its usually sansang, seongjoong, or whatever ship fic @tiesanjiaoshenanigans or @kireinalix ask me to beta are hehe

What do most of your ships usually have in common?

this is a good question and i dont really know the answer. my taste tends to favour characters who make a good parental unit (seongjoong, jingliu/baiheng), but i also enjoy the dynamics of amoral pairs (kafblade), as well as goofy lesbians having a good time (stellemarch)

What you absolutely hate in a ship?

if its boring tbh. if something feels boring or overdone im p much guaranteed not to like it. like jeanluc? theyre just boring to me. i also really dont enjoy the 'i knew you when you were a kid and then you grew up hot and now we're dating' thing

5 Things I’m Proud Of 2021

Thanks adhijo @userfett for the tag!

2021 was….a lot to say the least. So much happened, and I owe a lot of that to my support system (my friends—online and irl—and my family). Anyways, here are somethings I accomplished this year :)

1. Graduated college and received my Bachelor’s degree in computer science

2. Moved into my first non-college apartment on my own in a city I’ve never lived in before

3. Started my first real job

4. Started caring more about my physical health in that I cook more often and I started kickboxing

5. Put my mental health first
