🌊 summer time baybeeeee 🌊

tbch you couldn't catch me in the water KJNAKSJNF but. ren's an avid swimmer (otter-coded...), and he looooves being on the water, so maybe he could convince me to go out for a short while. he'd be so happy about it... he'd get the zoomies and, once i went back on land, have to swim laps to get it all out (i would sit at the water's edge and take photos of him ^_^ KAJNFNKJN).

this was originally for an art party, with the theme "ducky"!

for a show that's fundamentally about family it's weird that we've never heard even a passing mention of Pete White or Dr. Mrs. The Monarch's families. Like we saw Sheila's wedding and her family wasn't there, and you can't tell me Rose hasn't asked Pete about his mother at least once. We know more about Brock Samson's family than theirs. Hell we know more about Underbite's family than theirs

Wash: *wheeze*

[honetii]

as someone who grew up in st louis and had a lot of family in the southern/rural midwest I really do love the setting of borrasca bc there's a lot of random niche shit about the midwest and missouri that I get to project onto the characters. like I know in my heart that they say "warsh" instead of wash.

got to hold my own beautiful, absolutely perfect used good condition copy of The Analytical Lexicon to the New Testament (William Mounce), the lexicon that carried me through fall semester like a graceful yet meek beast of burden

got an early Christmas gift from my dad and it was literally a work uniform shirt from the restaurant I worked at?? he asked them for one??

saw the Christmas gifts I bought online for my sister and my brother-in-law! they're going to work, which is a relief bc I've just about lost my steam for Christmas gifts (RIP to my plans but based on the current mental health I've got to go easier on myself)

washed a good number (but not all) of my musty sweaters

discovered that my two beloved black satin sashes have been destroyed by rats

encountered rat feces on my bookshelf (after my sister apparently cleaned up a larger mess that she wouldn't describe in detail)

I was really hyperactive and chatty and kept bringing up LGBTQ issues without meaning to and getting myself into awkward conversations with my brother-in-law (like actively trying really hard not to set him off but constantly doing it anyway by accident)

hugged a lot of people at church

watched a really xenophobic video lecture on Revelation. The speaker said the 4 horsemen were: communism (evil bc red), capitalism (which is of course not as bad as communism but only its necessary balance), Catholicism (evil bc white), and Islam (evil bc green??). I know that Revelation is a notoriously opaque text and I'm honestly fine with people having equally bizarre interpretations. But this was just irresponsible.

got asked to do a church-related music performance for the first time in 3 years! it's a string trio with my cousins O and A and they're actually excited about it so that makes it a lot easier. The hard part is that we have to find/arrange our own music, I have to transpose a part into alto clef so that O can play it on viola, and technically I should probably double check with the pastor that I am actually allowed to do this, since it was the music director who asked me (I am excited to an unhealthy extent about this)

crawled in a window to help my neighbor who got locked out of her house!

washed a lot of dishes by hand bc the dishwasher is broken and my dad can't get the new one in bc he put in flooring after the dishwasher and now it's stuck

i would kill for some spaghetti rn tbh

top 5 tsc ships, top 5 non-tsc books, top 5 types of fruit

top 5 tsc ships:

Henry and Charlotte of course. I love them to death. They set my romance standard.

Herongraystairs. Cassie let them have eachother.

Thomastair. Iconic ship, can't argue with it.

Gabrily. I'm not even as into them by themselves, they're just so funny together.

Sophideon. Similar to the above. I really like them in TID particulary Gideon is so stupid.

Top Five Non-TSC books;

Aghhhhh this is hard. These are just some I like, I could go on and on.

Breathing Room by Marsha Hayles. Childhood favorite of mine, awoke something within me. Set in just pre-WW2 America, in a tuberculosis sanituriom. Main character is, at the beginning, a 13 year old of german decent, and the book follows her years in the sanitorium. A lot of people die, so in some ways it's quite tragic, but its pretty short, and one of my favorites. It's still a hopeful and beautiful story.

The Book Jumper by Mechthild Gläser. Not sure how to describe it, buts its pretty damn good.

The Love Letter's of Abelard and Lilly by Laura Creedle. Anyone who is neurodivergent should read this now. It's a great story, and its so sweet, I love it.

Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland. One of my all time favorites, I have yet to read another book that replicates the experience I had reading AIW. It has a way of being totally chaotic while making total sense I havent seen any other book sucessfully replicate. Grouping this in together; Unbirthday by Elizabeth J. Braswell. It's a dark AIW spin off and is the best one I've read. It's everything Tim Burton's AIW was trying to be, and I wish it was more popular.

Cinnamon Moon by Tessa Hilmo. Hard to explain briefly but its amazing. It's set in post chicago fire chicago, about an irish american girl and her younger brother, both of whom have just been orphaned by the Peshtigo Wisconsin fire, a fire that happened almost at the exact same time as the chicago fire, and despite being arguably much, much worse in terms of damage and survival rate it is overshadowed by the Chicago fire. It's chock full of interesting, unique history, and is an excellent read.

Top Five Types of Fruit;

All depends on the season, so in no particular order;

Lemons. I love citrus and will eat any citrus fruit raw. Including lemons. Sue me.

Peaches. There is something very primal and comforting about slupring the sweet gold from a knife whilst ambrosia drips down your arms.

Kiwis. I really like them with a little brown sugar sprinkled over the top as a dessert!

Rasberries. I love berries in general. Blueberries, rasberries, and blackberries is my favorite fruit dessert. Just let me eat those three berries for days.

Apples. A good apple does wonders for me whenever my stomach hurts. Love them for that.

More than five but I am feeling like a rebel SO;

Pomegranates, oranges and grapes. If i could have all eight of these fruits I would be happy for love. I love how oranges make my mouth taste, good grapes are like straight candy for me and I love to eat pomegranate seeds by the handful from the empty husk.
