9. opinion on brown eyes?

I LOVE brown eyes!! they're so pretty, they're like lil mounds of earth and gold and it's amazing! But maybe I'm being biased since I have brown eyes myself lolol!

But when I was in elementary and middle school, I used to be VERY insecure about my eye color (and hair color) since they are naturally brown (well, depending on who I ask, the answer changes from hazel to brown so I don't rlly know heh)

That was due to the girls in my school that would bully, try to be fake-friends with me, and/or would just be favored over me and a few other students most of the time having blonde hair and blue eyes at that time

Luckily, the insecurity wore off when I entered my freshman year of high school so now I'm pretty happy with my eyes and hair being brown!

12. whats a turn off you look for before you start officially dating someone

If our values don't align, we want WAY different things for our lives and are on two different pathways that we wanna take, or our beliefs are just too different!

For example, I tend to avoid right-winged/conservative people (I mean, my whole family does since we're all pretty left leaning, my dad hates the right lol), people who are the usual isms and ists out there (like, I'm not dealing with no nazi, racist bullshit or anything similar to that), or even if they don't want kind in the future since I obvs do want to have kids and a family of my own one day

At least, those are my turn offs said in the most simple terms I can use!

23. have you ever been in love?

OOOOOOO I HAVE!!!!

I was deeply in love with my very first boyfriend I had from my first year of middle school all the way to freshman year of high school. He was an autistic boy who went to the same Special Ed Homeroom and some classes that I did (and was very in MLP G4, Apex Twin and Jet Set Radio)

He was shy and awkward but also very kind, funny, and was super fun to talk to and we were able to gush about our interests to each other, drew art for each other, and I felt like he was the only one at that time that actually understood me since we were

Due to distance and and his super strict mom (they were an Asian family) that didn't like me much, after the summer and going to separate high schools in my sophomore year, we were never able to speak to each other again, so we were kinda forced to breakup by the world lol

And I was also in love with an ex that I had an online long distance relationship for a little over two years when I was 16-18 (I was 3-4 years younger than they were), we also made lots of art for each other, supported each other at the worst times of our lives, and promised each other than we would be able to meet and begin a deeper relationship outside of the internet someday

But then around May of the two year mark, they told me that they realized a small bit ago (it was like weeks prior from I remember them telling me) that they were aro and that they didn't want to be in a relationship with me anymore but still wanted to be friends

Let's just say I didn't take it well, at all since I felt it was plopped onto me outta the blue, was caught off guard, and I was in school at the time it was happening. It was not a good day....

Thank you soso much Beetle for sending this in, it was so much fun to answer these intriguing kind of questions! Also sorry for rambling for so long lol!

I hope I see you in here again and that you have an awesome evening!!

Bestie now you get to drown in wlw recommendations. I feel bad but that's probably like 80% of what I read right now. And! There's some amazing wlw stuff, not even just say teen novels, even though I read a lot more of those.

Gearbreakers: Please please please read this book. It's a sci-fi dystopian novel that stars two sapphic protagonists and has some amazing worldbuilding. It's part of a duology but I haven't read the second book yet. Either way probably one of my favorite books right now.

Cinderella is Dead: This book sat on my shelf for months and I regret not reading it sooner. I kid you not, I read it in two days. The book itself is a fantasy book about a girl who doesn't fit into the "perfect world" that Cinderella left behind 200 years ago. She's grown up with the myth, but as her story progresses, she realizes that it might not be quite true. (Also I felt myself crushing on the love interest. Great descriptions.)

Now for more teen novels, since I'm a sucker for romance:

She Drives Me Crazy: Rivals to lovers between a basketball player and a cheerleader. It's a fake dating book. I actually think that's my taste in books. Sapphic fake dating books. I'll be honest, not my personal favorite, but still a good book nonetheless.

Some Girls Do: The first sapphic book I ever purchased. I read this at the age of twelve and most definitely shouldn't have, but it's really become a comfort book from me. It's a relationship between a trackstar who was kicked out of her catholic school for being gay, and a mechanic who's a badass. It really explores the differences in queerness for different people, along with unhealthy relationships.

I Kissed Shara Wheeler: I cannot tell you how good this book is. Enemies to Lovers and one of the most captivating stories I've ever read. It's one of the books that turns all the straight people not straight by the end, and I think those are honestly my favorite. Either way, I devoured this book as well, and I'd highly recommend it.

Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating: So this one's probably self explanatory by the title. But it's absolutely incredible. As someone who says they're not a huge fan of fake dating, I sure do read a lot of it, and this one comes in at the top. Simply an incredible book, and both characters are some that I still remember and think about, even years after reading the book.

drowning in wlw recs is the dream actually <3 thank you for these <33

gearbreakers sounds super cool actually?? im not normally a sci-fi person but i trust your taste and it looks rlly good anyway so!
