People I'd like to get to know better

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAGGING ME @shamblespirate I AM SMOOCHING YOU SO HARD

Last song: Tití Me Preguntó by Bad Bunny

I don’t really have an explanation for this song other than it gets me hyped the fuck up and Bad Bunny really just is one of my fav Spanish speaking artists and idk with both him and I being Puerto Rican I just have this sense of pride ya know SKSMDM OKAY ENOUGH OF THAT

Favorite color: light blues

Any shade of light blue! It can be pastel, baby blue, etc etc like blue has me in a chokeholdddddd

Last Movie: Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop

MY BOYFRIEND SHOWED ME THIS MOVIE AND OH MY GOD IT IS SO CUTE???? Im a sucker for cute shit and this had me *sobbing* 100/10 please go watch it

Sweet/Spicy/Savoury: Savory

Oh this is tough….. I was teetering between spicy and savory but ultimately landed on savory cause I’m just baby when it comes to spice 😭 like I like it when my food has a kick to it but I’ll always love myself a good steak with some A1 sauce or some tacos from this good taco shop down the street like I can live without spicy but I can’t live without savory

Relationship Status: Taken!

I’ve been in this relationship for over 3 years!! High school sweethearts 🥰 I actually knew him for around 6+ years and I’ve been in love with him since the beginning and he has been in love with me too but we haven’t done anything about it till senior year 😭 truly a mutual pining slow burn 🤭fun fact! Our anniversary is the same day as Laws Birthday

Last thing I googled: cenote

I booked a cruise for my birthday and I was looking up excursions and there was one where it was like cave and cenote diving and I didn’t know what it was so I looked it up! It’s basically like a sinkhole filled with water I might just have to do that 👀👀

Current Obsession: Bugsnax

THIS IS SUCH A CUTE VIDEO GAME AND IVE BEEN PLAYING IT NONSTOP FOR THE PAST WEEK I think everyone should be required to play this game at one point in their lives

EEEEEEE HI BABYYYYYY TY FOR TAGGING MEEEEE 😙mwahmwahmwah!

Last Song: Writing on the Wall, Will Stetson

Anyone who wants to know me needs to know that I'm obsessed with Kaveh from Genshin Impact, so when this man WROTE A SONG about my sweet angel Kaveh (AND THEN I DIDN'T FIND OUT HE DID UNTIL THIS WEEK AND I STG IT'S BEEN LIKE A YEAR SINCE IT'S BEEN OUT FFFFF), well, I've had it on repeat. I, uh, cried the first time I listened to it because I'm a sob (also bc I can't hug pixels, that man needs all the happiness and love and success ANYWAY)

Favourite Colour: Yellow!!!!!

Like, pastel yellows, specifically, but also the yellow of the Bumblebee car from Transformers.

Last Movie: Don't Worry Darling (2022)

I'm not really a movie watcher so like, me watching this was spur of the moment bc my mama put it on and I saw Florence Pugh (fucking love her)! IT'S KINDA INSANE??? I missed a bit of the beginning but like, she used to be a doctor, but she would complain to her bf/hubby (played by Harry Styles; girl, if you see this... I know you like him👀) that she was tired and shit, so he's been listening to these weird recordings from some egotistical batshit crazy mf (Chris Pine) like an incel (like Harry's character gave huge inferiority complex incel vibes and excelled at the role) and decided to pledge some like, allegiance shit to Chris's character's organization and got himself and Florence's character all hooked up to these weird eye machines that "transported" them into an alternate reality?? and it looks like the 50s in there, like she was stuck playing the housewife role in this really select community. BUT APPARENTLY SHE'S BEEN GETTING BRAIN ZAPPED WITH ELECTRO SHOCK THERAPY TO NUMB HER BRAIN/MEMORIES SO SHE THINKS IT'S REAL AND IT'S HER REAL LIFE??? y'all it's so fucked BUT SO GOOD.

Sweet/Spicy/Savoury: Savoury

Don't get me wrong, I love spicy shit, I'm a sugar fiend, but savoury just smacks. Every time. Besides, I don't like all spicy things (like tabasco or sriracha, for example) soooo ya.

Relationship Status: Single

Saving myself for my own Kaveh/j/j/j nah, I don't even considering it "dating", but the last person I was with was in fucking middle school, and ever since then, I've either been too busy with school or with work or with my shit health; I wish I realized that paramedic was flirting with me the last time I was waiting in the hospital, GOD, he was so handsome and nice and I looked like I got beat up fr that day

Last thing I googled: "manhwa lightsaber"

LISTEN TO THIS YOU GUYS I NEEDED A REFERENCE PICTURE FOR SOMETHING BUT I ALSO HAD MY SAFESEARCH OFF AND MORE MANHWA PEEN APPEARED ON MY SCREEN IN FRONT OF MY MOTHER and she gave me the biggest fucking side eye I've ever experienced in my life, why do bl manhwa dudes got such massive dicks, man, I'm EMBARRASSED, fucking Cain from Dear Door sabotaged me, GOD

Current Obsession: Hazbin Hotel (specifically Luci 🥰)

The animation, the soundtrack, LUCIFER FUCKING MORNINGSTAR, he's so adorable and dorky and I love his obsession with rubber ducks and making them multi-functional, like other than a bath toy, he made a fucking fire-breathing rubber ducky and I love it so much 🥹 the way I'm planning a self-insert design for this man... goshhhhh.

no obligation tagging! @raspbrrytea @nemjun @lehguru @alstors @lordmaplecrust @mrskreideprinz @jaim-inhothekid (sobbing as i fail to remember y'all's handles kdsfhs)

Hehe thank you for tagging <3

Last song: Dirty imbecile - The Happy Fits

Don't have much to say, I just bop to this. The Happy Fits generally make music that itch my brain nicely, helps that most of it is fast paced with lyrics that don't fit the upbeat tempo. I'm weirdly picky with my music but there's no real pattern to what I will and won't like?

Favourite colour: Teal

Specifically the darker variations, it's just very soothing to me. Have a similar relationship with just very dark green. Reminds me of dense vegetation or deep water. When I'm hopefully not renting my home anymore, I want teal walls in my bedroom.

Last movie: Festen

Okay so this isn't an English movie. It's a movie made while adhering to a strict set of rules (handheld camera, only natural light, no audio manipulation etc.) It revolves around a man's 60th birthday ('Festen' meaning 'the party') where everyone in the family carry long buried resentment towards other members, and it bubbles to the surface during this party. It's super uncomfortable to watch but also incredibly real in its portrayal of family and interpersonal dynamics.

Sweet/spicy/savory: Savory

I can't handle anything more spicy than uhhh supermarket paprika (the weakest one you can find)... which pains me because spicy food looks so good!!! I do enjoy sweet things but only in moderation 😅

Relationship status: Taken

Been with my boyfriend for... 5 years almost? He's the first person I was ever interested in sharing my life with and I consider him a "we're going to make this work even if the sky falls down because we want it" type 'soulmate'. We've had really rough patches and I enjoy every day with him, even when we get on each other's nerves <3

Last thing I googled: TCRgd Vg4

Not explaining this makes it look more silly :3

Current obsession: Mad scientists apparently

Dottore and Scarecrow live rent free in my mind. If I could chew on them I would. Especially Dottore things have been circulating around my brain as I get more and more infuriated by lack of Dottore in genshin. STOP holding him hostage, give us crumbs please hoyo ;-;

I'm not tagging anyone, but if we're moots please know that I am dying to know the answers and would like to tag you, but am too scared to do it <3

ellalalala

This piqued my interest and I decided to join in :) Also, I'd be delighted to get to know you better!

Last song: Shrike - Hozier

Hozier has been my favorite artist for the past... Five years? His music resonates with me like no other. The album "Wasteland, baby!" was a huge comfort for me during COVID, and now "Unreal Unearth" is pretty much the same. Suffice to say he released it when I needed it the most. He's a wonderful lyricist (one of the best of our generation imo) and his vocals... I just adore him.

Favorite color: Red

Any shade of red. It's been my favorite color since the 7th grade and for some reason I just stuck with it. Though I did have a phase where green was my favorite, then purple... Anywho, nothing compares to red. I even dyed my hair that color :)

Last movie: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Okay, I don't actually remember which movie I watched last (I don't watch movies that often) but I'm guessing it's this one. Catching Fire is the best adaptation of the Hunger Games books. The cinematography is on an entirely different level here, compared to that of the first movie, and with the introduction of the past Victors in the 3rd Quarter Quell, it's just all incredibly exciting. The setting of the movies is chillingly reminiscent of our world, and as someone who lived in Russia for 6 years - it's downright creepy realising how much of my life, at some point, was actually not normal looking back.
Suzanne Collins is an amazing writer. Not much else to say.

Sweet/spicy/savory: Savory

I'm a bit similar to you in this! I can't handle spicy food (only to some degree, really) and sweet stuff easily makes me feel sick if I have too much of it. I'm really picky with that :)

Relationship status: Taken

I've been dating my girlfriend for a little over a year now...? After discovering my sexuality back in 2020 (during the quarantine, when I had the opportunity to think about myself properly without any distractions) I met her and everything changed for me. I immediately developed a crush on her and kept it secret for... What, two and a half years? Then I cracked and confessed one night and we've been dating ever since. She's the only person in my life who I've felt so connected to, and seeing as I'm really introverted and generally prefer to be alone, this is quite the achievement. I've never had the feeling that I couldn't live my life without someone, but with her, it's all very different.

Last thing I googled: Dolphin meme

Okay, don't ask. I needed it for "Speed Draw" on Roblox. Don't.

Current obsession: Il Dottore

What can I say. My whole account revolves around him. I still stand by the idea that the "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde enjoyer" to "Il Dottore stan" pipeline exists because I went through it! You do not wanna know how many essays I wrote about that novella in high school! Dark times!

Tagging my good friend @ashenburst because I know she'll love this. Also, @sandraharissa @maelkacapsalaki12 because I wanna know more about you guys!

ashenburst

Sorry for taking so long! Saved this thing as a treat (totally wasn't busy studying too). Thank you for tagging me, you were right, I loved doing this <3

Last song: DATURA [paroxysm] - Crywolf

This song, like the rest of Crywolf's work, blows my mind every time I listen to it. Crywolf is a constant reinventor of the electronic genre, one whose journey I've been honored to follow for years now. I genuinely believe he's a one-of-a-kind phenomenon; his production value, stylistic directions, creativity, themes and lyricism are a synergism like no other. And again, to think he's constantly pushing the boundaries of electronic music! To make matters even better, Crywolf treats his fanbase with great kindness and care. I managed to talk to him when I tagged him on my Instagram story as my top artist for 2023, and my opinion of him (as usual) has only improved. If I had to summarize, I'd say his songs feel like my childhood friends. With them, I feel most like myself.

Favorite Color: Orange

I used to be a purple fan for a decade, but now I'm free from the chokehold. I resonate with the warmth, comfort and softness that orange represents, that I used to deny for my whole life until recently. Just like the friend who tagged me dyed her hair into her favorite color, so did I! And I got called Childe for it...

Last Movie: Saltburn

Watched this while semidrunk with the girls, and... it wasn't as disgusting as people made it out to be? Pretty cinematography, solid acting, yes. Thought-provoking because it shocks the viewer, but what can be made of the surprise? If it's a movie about class and society, it's very bare-bones with a message that doesn't ever take off. Consequently, I don't have much to say about it. Watch it if you're drunk with your friends. That's it. Or just watch The Talented Mr. Ripley :)

Sweet/spicy/savory: Spicy

Love me a good adrenaline rush while eating, and I tolerate spicy food very well.

Relationship status: Single

It's certainly a cultural thing, but the newer generations of men in my country are absolutely horrendous. My culture wishes to create men who are providers and served, but doesn't seem to teach men how to provide, or how to respect what they're served. That along with the leniency of parents in this busy capitalist era (and the never-improving depressing state in my corrupted country) has resulted in a lot of... underdeveloped, incapable, emotionally immature men. It's ruthless. Nine times out of ten my interactions with men end up with me ignoring them, growling at them or just, lol, venting to them for the night and calling it quits. Women, though? Thank god I'm coming to terms with the fact I'm pansexual, because I'm so down to worship the poetry that are women. Regardless, I still turn down pretty much everyone in the romantic sphere. I'm either too busy, or my standards are too high, or... I just remain oblivious (once to dry humping? don't ask me how). But, despite some disappointing experiences, I've also had the most wonderful, magical, perfect ones too. You could say the stats are against me: I have to be hopeful because my hope has a basis :D I'm so excited to see what the future brings, whenever, whatever!

Last thing I Googled: egyptian number whatsapp scam

LMAO got a suspicious message earlier today

Current obsession: staticmoth

What can I say. They're eating me from inside out. I'm not one to lose focus easily, but they've been destabilizing me for two months now and I hate them for it.

Tagging @rubixpsyche, @thequeenpapaya and @mvrtaiswriting, but whichever of my mutuals wishes to join might as well hijack this post. I'd love to get to know you!

how am i only seeing this now?? this is so cool and i'm so happy you tagged me @ashenburst, we're like tumblr besties atp 😭

Last song: Talk - Hozier

when i tell you i am obsessed....... I'm not joking. hozier is one of my fav artists so this doesn't come as a surprise but there's just so many layers to this song that just make me go into a spiral every time i listen to it. the reference to greek mythology? the indecent tone of the bridge? the beat? oh. OH.

Favorite Color: Lilac

It really changes all the time lol I'm just a colour girly. it something that can change daily based on the overall mood/vibes. i used to be obsessed with orange but now i kinda find it a bit too harsh idk idk. i also love baby blue - idek if that's the right name for that shade

Last Movie: The Pale Blue Eye

I kinda fell asleep while watching it - not because it was necessarily boring but bc the pacing was a bit slow.. also I was cozy on the sofa so that definitely didn't help. it's based on an edgar allan poe book, which makes the plot automatically good, but do expect a period piece.

Sweet/spicy/savory: Sweet

can't handle spicy food at all. i do have a sweet tooth and i absolutely adore chocolate - i very rarely find things too sweet to consume (i put a lot of sugar in my coffee too). however, my toxic trait is craving something salty right after having consumed the most tooth-rotting food. idk.

Relationship status: Taken

i don't say this often here and i don't think that transpires from my writing, but i am, actually, in an healthy & happy relationship. it's that kind of relationship that will either end in marriage or in me never actually recovering from heartbreak. we will celebrate our 4th anniversary this year but we have known each other since we were kids.. there are just so many invisible strings tying us together it's like the universe intended us to be together - but that's a story for another time. so yeah, very happily in love with the loml. <3

Last thing I Googled: 'for a fortnight'

LOL I WAS TRYING TO DECIPHER TAYLOR'S CRYPTIC MESSAGE DONT MIND ME

Current obsession: tarot reading & the tortured poet departments

is the album out yet? no. am I overly obsessing about it? yes, yes. correct. if you know you know i am going INSANE. for the tarot reading bit what can i say... i think i'm starting to get in touch with my spiritual side. i don't know, i just feel a.. pull. towards them. so yeah. i've been researching.

tagging @softxsuki @henrioo and whoever wants to join bc.. i'm afraid of bothering people by tagging them so byeeeee

So for over a month and a half I’ve been told in my Creative writing MA class that my writing is too poetic and abstract to work in the form of a novel and that I need to simplify my meanings and sentences. I did as I was told and lost all interest in writing if I have to write in the same style that every other novelist does. Today I received this note from a classmate and didn’t realise how much I needed to hear it. Don’t change your art just because other people don’t get it. Don’t change your style to fit in with everyone else. It’s your story not theirs.

This post is 4 years old, but for anyone who needs to hear it I want to tack on the advice my Creative Writing professor told the class I was in: "Not everyone is going to get what you're trying to do. So a lot of the advice your classmates write on your papers might feel Wrong to you. If it feels Wrong and you don't think they understand your story, don't take their advice because they are not your audience."

Sounds like the initial advice for OP to tone down her natural voice was incorrect, but thankfully one of her classmates that was part of the audience wants to hear that voice.
