#tumblr's fyp really got me figured out today

[mossnotes]

17 questions for 17 people!

(tagged by @ox-blr)

hello! i’ve been mia from tumblr for a long time because, well, i’m losing interest and seeing studyblr content isn’t motivating me the way it used to? so, i’m gradually re-entering this space in a different, healthier way, so consider this a reintroduction! 

nickname:

my name is carrie and i don’t really have a nickname? i used to get called caz or cazza (ew) a lot, and i recently made the connection that caz - or kaz - means i’m twinning with our good lord, kaz brekker hehehe. also for a while somebody called me pigeon (because of carrier pigeons, i guess?), so honestly if you want to call me pigeon go for it. it’s fun, at least. 

height: 

5′3″ or 5′4″, i think :(

zodiac: 

aries sun, libra rising, capricorn moon ! 

hogwarts house: 

slytherin !! (fun fact, i used to be a hufflepuff but changed to a slytherin within the same year, so, character development? or maybe, and more likely, villain/corruption arc? idk)

last thing i googled: 

how to toggle between items on minecraft inventory bar (i finally got java after playing bedrock my whole life so it’s taking some adjusting :D)

song stuck in my head: 

can you feel my heart - bmth (a tiktok of someone screaming it in the car came up on my fyp today and now that is ALL I WANT TO DO)

number of followers:

543 ! on my old account i got to 4k i think in the end? for some reason now, i can’t seem to gain followers and the ones i have aren’t very interactive :( i think maybe because tumblr seems to be like, dying out (finally?), especially studyblr. or maybe it’s me that’s getting bored of it and not being active enough for people to interact. hm. 

hours of sleep:

nothing (except anxiety-induced insomnia on sunday nights) will get between me and my eight hours. 

lucky number: 

7. i’m not sure why. or maybe it’s just my favourite number. is there a difference?

dream job: 

i don’t have a dream job because i don’t dream of labour in this capitalist hellscape working in a little bookshop sounds about as peaceful as retail work can get. i just want to sit on a stool behind the counter wearing my silly little granddad jumpers reading the books i was supposed to shelve. or, if my writing takes off, i want to be a rich elusive spinster living in the huge old house at the edge of my town, where i only ever appear in a long silk nightgown to deliver my latest manuscript bound in velvet ribbon to a gloved figure in the black car at the end of my drive. 

aesthetic: 

i’m such a sucker for dark academia, and dark or earthy tones. my tweed blazer is my most prized possession, even if i never get to wear it lol except for dramatic recitals of hamlet’s to be or not to be soliloquy. i’d love to be one of those people who wears pastel purple jumpers and strawberry dresses but, no. 

wearing: 

for all i just boasted about my dark academic adoration, i’m currently wearing trackies and my stepdad’s old help for heroes jumper, which i think i spilled tea on. (that was the most english sentence i’ve ever written bloody hell)

favourite song(s): 

lover, please stay - nothing but thieves

itch - nothing but thieves

medicine - harry styles

electricity - arctic monkeys

despair in the departure lounge - arctic monkeys

lose it - oh wonder

(i really like am and nbt can you tell?!)

favourite instrument: 

bass and electric guitar are so cool, i have an electric but i can’t play to save my life. also piano? if you play piano i am immediately infatuated with you. 

favourite author(s): 

donna tartt and v.e. schwab (also, mary shelley goes without saying)

favourite animal noise: 

the little chirp my cat does when she wakes up and immediately wants to know where i am

random: 

i lowkey hate studyblr just because of how glossy and amazing it is when studying literally never looks like that, and idk if it’s just me/my dash but as a mentally ill person it’s so hard seeing this constant productivity because most days i just do my online school (mostly from bed because i don’t have the energy or am just too uncomfortable at my desk because my room is on a tilt bc i live in a really old house and the desk is right on the tilt oop) and then i’m too shattered to study or do any extra. it blows my mind that there are people who study for like 8 or 10 hours a day with such insanely good self discipline... ah. idk that was a rant, studyblr used to be incredible for me and so motivating but i’ve really fallen out of love with it, so this blog might change direction a bit and go more writer/random/literature meme idk??? ily thank u for reading and sticking around w me mwah
