URGENT: Help The Balla Family Relocate

Current progress: $180/$680 AUD

Vetting information: shared by Sara (bsonblast) and was promoted by Jin (jinforjustice) on ig

Adel's family needs $500 to relocate to escape the escalated shelling in Omdurman. The family's campaign has been stagnant for 2 weeks, so we desperately need to get donations flowing again!

Please donate and share. We cannot delay their travel! The Balla family are in danger as long as they remain in Omdurman.

Tagging for reach. Please share if you see this. Thank you

hello again.

sorry for not posting in a while, but i'm back with another masterpost. this contains both old, and new campaigns. i would like for you all to look into each, and every single one of their stories, and if you can, help them by donating. they deserve every amount of monetary gain all the while, going through so much pain.

if you're seeing this post in this tag, then that means that this tag is currently popular enough for this post to be seen by more people. i do apologize for annoying anyone by doing this, but we shouldn't forget about about anyone who is going through genocide.

here's a couple of more things that are worth mentioning:

1. due to a recent event, i might not be able to donate for a while. i'm currently working on that issue. so, i hope that everyone understands that, and i do apologize for making anyone upset, or angry by this. just know that your feelings are valid.

2. i am not an official vetter by any means. if you are looking for your campaign to be verified, here are a couple of suggestions that you can look for: bilal-salah0, gazavetters, butterfly project (forgot the name, sorry), 90-ghost, nabulsi, el-shab-hussein, gaza-evacuation-funds, etc.

3. if you're helping for a cause, why won't you do me a favor, and click at least six buttons here? -> https://arab.org/click-to-help (this'll further help the cause, if donating is not a possibility for you.)

4. some of the images does contain after injury. please proceed with caution.

5. if you think i have missed anyone, or any info, then please let me know down in the comments. i believe that is about it.

if anyone is able to donate, please do so. regardless, please reblog this, so more people can help. thank you.

20 Questions for Writers

Thanks @mrsmungus for the tag. ❤️

❣️How many works do you have on AO3?

13 total, including three fanart art gifts. The only writing I have is my current work. I'm bringing the old FFN stories over on another account.

❣️What is your total AO3 word count?

834,995- 1 million before the year's end would be nice.

❣️What fandoms do you write for?

So far only Boy Meets World. The fanart gifts have been in other fandoms.

❣️What are your top five fics by kudos? Autumn in Philadelphia Trilogy- 243

Flashbacks- 109

Christmas to Last a Lifetime- 94

Not too shabby for such a massive series with an OC as a main character.

❣️Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes. Eventually.

Ever single comment is incredibly important to me and I don't always have the spoons to respond the way I want to. Rather than rush a response, I wait until I can give it my full attention. There are times, however, when certain comments appear to go answered for months. Those are comments from people I am in touch with privately and have already thanked. I will respond to those in time as well.

❣️What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

The Darkest Night without question.

❣️What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

At this point, probably Christmas to Last a Lifetime.

❣️Do you get hate on your fic?

Is having someone throw a tantrum in your comments hate?

The writer who did this was upset over how the first part of AiP ended because they did not read the tags or summary. They also complained about my OC being better than theirs and whined about liking Audrey more as though at 11 years old I created with Aud malicious intent to hurt them 20+ years later. 🙄

This was the person who also tried to push me out of the fandom, harassed me, and stole my work.

So, hate, no. Immature, entitled behavior, yes.

❣️Do you write smut?

No it's not my thing to read or write. My story is canon compliant and I'm staying true to the content of the show as well. Since it's a 90s kids' sitcom, situations were only dealt with to a certain degree.

❣️Do you write crossovers?

Technically. lol The AiP trilogy is a crossover with BMW and its sequel show, Girl Meets World, but since it's in the same universe I don't count it.

I am in the works of doing a real crossover that I'm really excited about, hopefully soon.

❣️Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes. See the hate on fics response.

I debated how much to say since my socials are still being monitored but you know what, I don't care.

This person stole big chunks of my work from three of my stories and readers have noticed. That's how I became aware of it. Two readers brought it to my attention and just recently another mentioned it also.

I've dealt with it thanks to my dear friends who have had my back through this year + long ordeal.

And ngl, it was satisfying to see her panic and meltdown when the report was submitted and rush her ending. The subsequent attempts to cover her tracks have been popcorn worthy as they have been both comical and pathetic.

Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm too nice and give too much benefit of the doubt which is why no one outside of my friends' circle has seen the massive report on the theft and harrassment.

However, should you dear [REDACTED] try it again, I'm holding onto that report and won't be so nice the second time around. It won't be your friend who's been asking for the link since December 8th that I'll give it to either.

❣️Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not to my knowledge.

❣️Have you ever co-written a fic?

Not yet!!! But soon and I'm so excited.

❣️What's your all-time favorite ship?

As for canon ship, they change all the time, but currently it's

❣️What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

At this point it's looking like Birthday Wishes. lol I mean, I have it outlined to the end and the next chapter is almost ready to go, but I'm prioritizing Saudade and have little time for BW, unfortunately.

❣️What are your writing strengths?

I'm not sure. May be characterization? Possibly world building and character development.

❣️What are your writing weaknesses?

Conciseness. lol Also SPAG editing. My brain skips words like crazy when writing and even editing. No matter how many times I go over things, I miss so much.

❣️Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I avoid this personally because I know enough that I'd mess it up. And I only know Swedish which isn't really a language that figures into my work naturally.

As for fics I'm not writing, it really depends on how it's done.

❣️First fandom you wrote for?

Boy Meets World. First published was Labyrinth.

❣️Favorite fic you've ever written?

Ah, how to chose. Autumn in Philadelphia trilogy. I can't get anymore specific than that. lol

[techno-danger]

*ummm... I saw your tag and the comment and I hope you're at a safe place now. I hope it's not too much. I apologize if this reopens old wound.*

Hey, thanks so much for the concern. I'm completely fine to talk about being kicked out. It helped me leave my toxic situation all that much easier.

Thankfully my Nana let me move in with her the same day so I'm grateful i never ended up on the streets cause that's exactly where I would've been without the help and support I have now. I've got my own increased disability pension, my support worker who's helped me since I graduated high school 3 years ago has been there for me every new milestone I achieve and even helped me get my birth certificate, id's and other important stuff of mine back. I managed to have my first paying job last year at Christmas and my old boss even asked if I wanted to come back again this year! (I am btw, gonna be taking ALL the selfies with Santa :D). I've been applying for jobs about every week but nothing has gone through yet (you would not BELIEVE how many big companies have switched over to AI Interviews its been A NIGHTMARE-) however I'll be going back to Tafe (tertiary education) to get cert 3 in Child Care and see where that might take me, hopefully down a similar line as my support worker, he's helped change my life so much and is one of my biggest heroes. In fact we're even going to Melbourne next week for the PAX convention and he's been helping get our cosplays ready (Going as Verosika Mayday and Stolas from Helluva Boss).

All this compared to when I was practically an unpaid maid in my own home and was literally told often that I don't deserve my own opinion since I was acting "childish" and "disrespectful". That the reason I was suicidal and depressed was because I was "too lazy" to do my chores when I was told to. That if I brought in the washing creased or didnt cook a UNIQUE dinner every night or forgot to wash the dishes afterwards, I hadn't earned the right to eat breakfast the next day. Heck, if I hadn't done some of my chores (cause I was literally out of the house around 9 hours a day studying for a course I BEGGED to quit), like if the clothes got creased in the basket from when my parent left them for WEEKS in their room or vacuum the floor of the entire house, I would have to pay them a "Maid Tax" of $30 (AUD) for every chore of that they did. Oh and I also didn't have any kind of allowance growing up, just a centrelink pension of about $500 a fortnight that I had no control over.

This is all stuff I had to deal with since I was about 11, and I had a lot of other trauma from my other parent when I was younger, as well as other stuff I don't want to mention. I know there are worse things people can go through but I hope no kids get stuck in the same situation I was. No one deserves to feel like they earn the right to just exist in the world. Just because they're acting like a child having a temper tantrum doesn't excuse you having to be the adult in the relationship. I'm 21 in 2 months and I've had to be way more mature than the rest of my family who are in their 60's and 70's (who KNEW how my parent treated me) just so I could mentally survive. Even if they hadn't laid hands on me for a long time, emotional abuse still counted as domestic abuse, a fact I think my parent forgot.

I am fairly certain my parent has undiagnosed BPD, my psychologist and support worker both seem to think so after seeing the messages I've received from my parent over the year, going from scathing rants to suicidal goodbyes to ignoring me for months to civilized invitations to events we both like and then back to scathing rants. I've lived with my parent for so long I understand how their thought process usually goes so I can understand where each of the actions come from but that doesn't mean I'll be excusing them anymore.

They're still my parent, the one who's loved me, raised me, fought for me, guided me and helped support me for my entire life. However, I also have to accept that they're narcissistic, manipulative and hypocritical. Just because I love them does not mean I love how I'm treated by them. I hope that anyone who's going through anything similar to this can find the help they need to get a better support system and rise above the situation you're in. Take it from someone who can't see their own future still, it DOES slowly get better as long as you have at least one person you can count on.

Seriously thanks for the ask, I've never really gotten to properly talk/write about my life before and how it's changed so much in just a year. I hope you have a great day :))

━ Shaak Ti x Avona Teller

I commissioned the wonderful @audpaints to bring my Jedi OC Avona Teller to life alongside Jedi Master Shaak Ti. I love this piece so much. The way they are looking at one another, the comfort and fondness in their eyes. It's perfect for them. Thank you so much again Aud, your art is wonderful. You can commission this fantastic artist here.

If you are a reader of my fanfiction, you may recognise Avona. She was my first Star Wars OC, and features briefly in my Darth Maul x Reader fic By The Light Of The Second Moon. I couldn't let her go once her part in that story was complete, and now she has her own story that I'm slowly working on, which explores the restraints and dynamics of young wlw relationships in religious and educational institutions.

Here is a little snippet of that piece, which I think fits this post quite well:

The Cosmic Light

Avona was a celestial object in orbit. She was a planet endlessly circling around her star, and by the laws of physics and life itself, was never able to collide with the centre of her galaxy.

Never able to touch her.

She could vividly recall the days before the orbit, before the pair were wrenched into an infinite dance by the powers of the universe: the short wonder of their shared girlhood. As younglings, Avona Teller and Shaak Ti would hold hands, play games and tell stories of the stars side by side. As they grew into Padawans they would spar, grapple, wrestle. Assisting one another in their tasks and assignments, helping each other with the skills that each of them struggled with. They would traverse the vast corridors of their elegant and ancient temple home side by side. They shared their hopes, dreams, worries and struggles. The sounds of despair, laughter, frustration, and joy would echo frequently in their chambers.

When they blossomed into young adulthood, the two young women found themselves drawn together in a much more intimate sense. They attempted to confront and withstand their physical needs, but were ultimately unable to resist their desires. They explored their bodies until they were experts in every inch of each other. They spent every waking and restful moment together, eating, meditating, studying. Avona knew Shaak Ti's hands as she knew her own, knew her breaths as though they were exhaled from her own lungs. She knew before she spoke the words that would fall from her soft, pale lips. She knew her in the Force, felt each shimmering spark of her lifeforce, each hue of the richness of her colours.

But then came the trials, the oath of the Jedi and the vow to the Republic. To serve as a Jedi Knight is to live a life of neutrality and peacekeeping, an existence void of attachment. A life that did not align with what they had found in each other. In knighthood, they made a sacred promise to the Force, but also to themselves. In ascending the ranks of the Jedi Order, they would forsake their connection and would sacrifice the bliss that they had found in one another's arms.

The evening before the ancient ritual, the two young women swore never again to you connect skin to skin. For the power of their touch was much too great to bear. The sweet warmth between them was a risk for their future paths. Now that they were to be knighted, and wholly dedicated to the Force and to the Republic, their attachment had to be severed.

And so, the orbit began.

au game! ⚔️🖐️

okay, this was a fun one. thanks for tag @creepkinginc @crossmydna @metalheadmickey @energievie @auds-and-evens @mmmichyyy!

rules (more or less): use this au generator to assign you an au, this fan fiction trope generator to give you a trope/situation/sometimes another au, feel free to keep clicking until you get something that inspires you.

then try to come up with the title, plot, vibe, and details of a fic including whatever the generators gave you. you don’t actually have to write it, just put the concept into the world! this is basically just a thought experiment.

au generator gave me: galdiator au

fic trope generator gave me: have one of your characters give the other a tension-filled, flirty palm reading. bonus points if their reading is total bullshit they're making up on the spot as an excuse to touch the other.

title: nope. stealing for jessie's playbook. this is supposed to be fun and titles are anything but fun.

let's plot: - mickey: becomes a gladiator to run away. doesn’t give a shit if he lives or dies. just has to get out and away from terry and it’s the only option he sees. he’s been doing this a while. managed to keep himself alive. is actually really good at it. but he hates it. is starting to think he’s just going to let it end soon.

- when in waltzes ian: new recruit. green as can be. far too innocent for this kind of work. but he’s got his family to take care of and he’s made some kind of deal with a gladiator owner(?) that once he brings in x amount of wins or money or whatever the fuck he’s free and will have enough money to set his family up real nice.

- mickey’s certainly keeping his eye on the new guy but also keeping his distance because it’s not like he’s going to be around much longer. maybe he’s got a fight coming up up in the not so distant future against a guy who actually stands a chance of beating him and he’s thinking he’s pretty much going to let it happen.

- right before ian’s first fight. all the guys are prepping in their little gladiator locker room. everyone does these good luck/here’s some advice kind of palm readings (palms don’t seem right but let’s roll with it) before the fights. except mickey. mickey’s never believed in any of that bullshit. 

- but mickey’s chilling in his grump corner and ian, the new guy, doesn’t have a buddy. so he timidly approaches mickey and asks if he’ll read for him. mickey’s first instinct is to tell the guy to fuck off but of course he’s way too in love with this stranger already to actually say no to the excuse to hold his hand. so he makes up some shit, makes the kid feel good about himself because lord knows the newbie’s about to go out and there and get his assed kicked. least mickey can do is make his last few minutes nice. he also flirts a little harder than he means to but again, who cares, not like he’ll be back.

- except of course ian makes it back. he’s actually a bad ass fighter and mickey is turned on as hell. 

- they keep going with this routine of mickey reading for him before fights. eventually ian offers to read for mickey. questions why he never does it. and mickey gives him his cynical speech. 

- they grow closer and closer of course. could be some good excuses for some nice sweaty, blood covered smutty moments.

- something happens to mickey one fight. ian’s got him distracted somehow. maybe ian had a big fight coming up and mickey was worried about it. mickey’s off his game and gets hurt pretty good. he’s still healing and has to sit out for the next week’s fights. ian doesn’t have mickey to read for him and is all kinds of messed up about it. mickey’s watching for somewhere and sees ian fighting like crap. has to run his wounded ass self down to the pit to cheer ian on. convince him it’s not mickey’s readings that are making him good, that he’s got it.

- the big fight mickey planned to throw finally comes up. he’s really torn. he loves ian, yeah, but he does still hate this life. and ian’s eventually going to get out. leave mickey behind alone again. this opponent is the only one who could ever beat mickey. if mickey kills the dude today, he’ll never have another chance. before the match, mickey finally asks ian to read for him. they both know mickey thinks it’s bullshit but ian does it anyway. ian somehow suspects mickey’s plan. so he says whatever sneaky coded shit he needs to say to pull at mickey’s heart strings. the famed moment of mickey out there on the battlefield. about to take the game ending hit. but locking eyes with ian and making the choice to save himself.

- we get our great omg i love you and i could never be without moment.

- but of course, that night, the gladiator owner guy tells ian (when mickey isn’t around) that he’s fulfilled his deal. he’s free to take his money and go. but now he’s conflicted. he can’t leave mickey behind. but he also can’t abandon his family. he has to talk to fiona about it. she of course tells ian to follow his heart. not to worry about the family. she can take care of it. but he knows she can’t. so ian goes back to the owner. proposes a plan where he keeps fighting until xyz and then both him AND mickey are free. the dude reluctantly agrees, but mickey’s his best earner (did they bet on these things or something? they do in my world) so it’s a steep price tag.

- they keep doing their thing and eventually mickey starts to get suspicious why ian is still around. he should have fulfilled his contract by now. somehow finds out about the deal ian made. and of course he’s all pissed about it. he tires to convince the owner guy to take back the deal but he won’t (because reasons. whatever). now mickey’s terrified every time ian has to fight. if something were to happen to him now, he’d blame himself. 

- obviously mickey can’t stay mad for long and question mark, question mark, question mark they come up with some kind of scheme that gets them both out and back to ian’s family with plenty of money to all live happily ever after and mickey to find his whole new family.

too late to tag anyone but if you haven't played and want to, do it! it's a fun little exercise!

hello again.

sorry that is has been a little while since i made one of these. been kinda feeling slumped, and all, but finally, after a couple of days of finally pushing my body to do something, i finally got this done.

if you are getting this post in this tag, then that means that this tag is currently popular enough to show this post for better visibility. i do apologize for annoying anyone by doing this, however we should not forget anyone during all of this.

reminder that even in the new year, we should not forget about anyone that is going through genocide. whether that be palestine, congo, sudan, haiti, west papua, etc. there are so many genocides going on right now as we speak, so your contributions for them are very much needed.

there's 3 more things that are worth mentioning:

1. as of now, i don't have enough money to donate to anyone. sorry about that.

2. i am not an official vetter by any stretch of the imagination. i am only the messenger.

3. some of the info might be outdated (specifically the last two donations, and the last time they have posted. i do apologize for the confusion.

if anyone is able to donate, please do so, regardless, please reblog this, so more people can help. thank you.

Find the word…Red and Blue edition! (And a quick update)

IRL hasn't relented much yet and I'm still struggling to find the energy to write so the next update will likely take another 7-8 weeks to get out. Hopefully not. Hopefully the ongoing situation in my neighborhood will be resolved before then.

I was able to get in a little drawing (see the new Aud sketch above). Yay! 🎉

Also my favorite niece, @axolotlsupremacyowo, tagged me in her new Find the Word game.

Here we go!

Words for me:

Sky, Ocean, Blueberry, Sapphire, Denim

Words for you:

Ruby, Ladybug, Cardinal, Holly, Bricks

Tagging: @stealing-your-kittens @the-orion-scribe @winterlovesong1 @justanotherpersonwhowrites @violetrose-art

Open tag too if you'd like to join the fun.

Also if you want to be tagged, let me know and I'll add you. If you did, let me know and I missed you, throw something at me. It's been awhile since I've done these. 😅

Sky

Another flash of lightning cracked through the sky. As the thunder subsided, the doorbell rang. Cautiously, Shawn approached the front door. He pushed the curtain of the narrow window to the right of the door to the side just enough so he could see out. It was dark. The porch lamps were no match against the stormy night; darkness swallowed any light they cast.

Lightning tore through the sky once again. In its radiance, he could see the shadow of the Boogeyman at his door.

-Saudade: Preparations

Ocean

Shawn started to move again-this time he ran. As he did, thoughts of his father's drunken fits chased him. He swore he could hear Chet roaring in fury just behind him. He panicked and raced faster, desperate to get to the safety of the apartment and Jon. But memories of his father pursued him. The taunts and the insults echoed like the bellowing of the ocean in his ears reminding him of how worthless he was, how useless, how much easier life would be without him. He felt the sharp, painful sting of an open palm against his cheek.

-The Return: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Blueberry

With the mood dampened, Shawn and Julia busied themselves by going over the menu. Certain foods were off limits due to Audrey's altered taste thanks to her pregnancy. Bacon was an absolute no-go as the smell exacerbated her all-day sickness.

Instead of bacon, Julia made sausage patties the way Audrey taught her to make them from scratch while Shawn made blueberry pancakes the way she had taught him.

As he dropped pancake batter on the skillet, he glanced at his sister and asked, "How old were you when Mom taught you to cook?"

-Saudade: "I Never Sang for My Father"

No sapphire. 🤔

Denim

Audrey looked so frail and young and even more so next to guys like Harley Kiner, who had also taken a liking to her. If it had been up to Jonathan, he would have assigned her to a class at the elementary school. It was easy to picture her in a denim jumper with her hair tied back at the nape of her neck surrounded by kids who no doubt would brighten to see her each day.

Tag Game Tuesday

I was tagged by these lovely lovely people - @celestialmickey @lingy910y @energievie @shinygalaxyperson @creepkinginc and @mmmichyyy - thank you!

✨✨✨✨

name: Julia

your birthday: April 24

where in the world are you? City by the Bay 🌉

when did you join tumblr? Last year!

do you have any sideblogs? No

mobile or desktop? Both (because the FOMO)

your perfect sleeping conditions: a bunch of perfectly-positioned pillows, those sheets that only spas are allowed to use i have no idea where to find those in real life, phone nearby on the nightstand so i can read in the morning 

a movie you think everyone should see at least once: it’s not the genre i normally love, but the first movie that comes to mind is “The Shining”  ... but may I also recommend "Grease"?

what shoes do you wear the most often? black vans (which have replaced black converse)

find the book closest to you. turn to page 7. what’s the 7th word? Vienna’s

describe your keys to me: they absolutely MUST be color-coded or i will never open the door, those are attached to my car key, which is attached to a little library card keychain. I used to have this keychain that looked like a turntable, and when you pressed the button, it would sound like a record scratching. I need to find that again.

what’s your favorite snack? Dried mangos from Trader Joe’s. If those are not available, chocolate-covered almonds

one of your aspirations: i’d love to learn sign language one day

and finally, tell me a random fact about yourself: i tried to teach myself how to read tarot cards a couple of years ago, but got frustrated because i couldn’t memorize each card’s meaning… but it was a fun endeavor for a bit and i really love tarot deck art 

✨✨✨✨

and a Picrew - my fave way to relax on my phone when I'm not making A.U.gust moodboards for @gallavichthings or writing @galladrabbles 💕

I wanted to tag a whole lot of you today because I love all your posts, drabbles, art, stories, giftsets, and meta discussions - you all really make my day! no pressure to play if you'd like to ... 🪄 to:

[catgrassplantdad]

it's tag game tuesday wednesday THURSDAY. fandom edition, baby! thank you to our beloved @celestialmickey for kicking it off and for tagging me, and also to @energievie & @tanktopgallavich !! 💛💛

your name: jessie

your age: 33

your first fandom(s): i usually say supernatural, but fuck it, i think it was spartacus. i may have engaged with it in a very different way, but i was hyperfixated as hell. i went to my first and only fan conventions. by myself! i never want to go to fan conventions! so yeah. spartacus.

your current fandom(s): shameless, and to a lesser degree these days, supernatural

how did you first get into fandom? hyperfixated on a show, stumbled upon the fandom side of tumblr, did not make a tumblr but lurked a little bit, decided fic was cringey and that i didn't like reading it (it was a v small fandom with not a lot of quality content), hyperfixated on another show and decided to try reading fic again, had my entire world rocked to its core, made a blog, been around ever since.

how long have you been engaging with fandom spaces? like nine years?

how often do you read fanfics? i'd say every day, usually when i'm in bed.

top 3 characters from your current fandom(s): mickey milkovich, dean winchester, castiel.

have you ever written a fic for a fandom? if so, shout it out! i sure have!

have you ever drawn fanart for a fandom? if so, drop a link! nope!

share a personal headcanon that you feel very strongly about: mickey was thinking about yevgeny when he and ian had the parenthood conversation in 11x12.

you’re trying to convince a friend to get into your current fandom(s) with you. what episode, clip, or scene are you showing them? okay so i actually did this with one of my closest irl friends and she got...possibly more into supernatural than i am, and she reads destiel fic, and has had intense gallavich fic phases as well. and it was actually super easy lol. she just has the same kind of brain that i have, and i just had to tell her to watch the shows because i knew they'd fuck her up the same way they fucked me up. she saw my reaction after november 5th 2020 and wanted to know everything, so i told her everything, and she started watching spn the next day. i watched shameless a couple months later and lost my entire mind, and all i had to do was tell her that she NEEDED to watch it, and she started watching it right away. i think if i had to show her a specific scene though, it probably would've been mickey coming out in 4x11. iconic, legendary. she would've eaten that up even with no context. also special shoutout to this friend, because she's the person who taught me to not be embarrassed about being interested in fic, or fandom in general. i always thought she was so brave for being open about her hyperfixations in her everyday life, like for real lol. i still struggle with it, but i've gotten more open about it because of her.

and finally, what does fandom mean to you? a community of some of my best friends, and the place where i learned that i can actually be a creative person. i'm doing all kinds of fulfilling things with my life because of this space 🥹

name: Vey

sun sign: Aquarius

what day of the week were you born?: Saturday (Nosho made me look up the meaning of the day of the week you were born. It fits O.o)

first app you open in the morning: my browser to play Wordle

last song you listened to: Queen of Kings - Alessandra

what type of phone do you have? Xiaomi Redmi

something you’d like to learn how to do: play an instrument, preferably guitar

art gallery or history museum? Art Gallery or Natural History Museum (if they got dinosaurs!)

I’m not tagging anyone since I’m criminally late for this... Sorry.
