Hi, for the stay at home ask game: 3, 5, 7, 10 and 20

3. your favourite “grounding” activity (anything that involves using the hands/doesn’t involve “spacing out” or escapism - something like gardening, knitting, dancing, cooking)

Probably cleaning, I think it gives me a sense of relaxation and relief but also, like, control of the things around me?

5. tv shows that cheer you up

She-Ra, ATLA, The Great British Baking Show, and Miraculous Ladybug. I also recently watched a ton of We Bare Bears because I was on heavy antibiotics for two weeks-- and the show is super cute and made me feel better. 

7. your favourite board game

Life or Clue!

10.  something you’ve created in the last year that you’re proud of (a playlist, a piece of art, some writing, a craft hobby, a social media account, etc)

I created several Spotify playlists which are pretty solid, although I’ve stopped adding to them as of recently. I also wrote some poems that I’m pretty proud of. 

20.  a skill you’ve picked up in the past few years

Being a better communicator, even if I’m still pretty anxious and quiet. I think I’ve gotten so much better at committing to talking things out instead of keeping them to myself. Also, I started learning Spanish, and I’m pretty excited about it!

Thanks for asking <3

14, 17, 50?

14: if you were to live with your best friend in an old flat in a big city, what would it look like?

White brick walls that we’d probably paint a soft color because he’s not a huge fan of white walls. Lots of plants and hopefully big windows, probably the kind that he has in his house where they push fully out and open. A space for my office/writing work and a place for his sewing and knick-knacks. Postcards, letters, magnets, and art-prints all over the fridge. An unnecessary amount of throw-blankets (for me) and pillows (for him) everywhere. Probably just generally crowded because we both have a looooot of stuff. 

17: what color do you really want to dye your hair?

I’ve just dyed my hair an “unnatural/fun” color for the first time (it’s peach) after years of dying it black and honestly, I’ve done it and I’m glad I did but it’s not my thing? I’m also anxiously obsessive-compulsive about colors and my hair/clothes, so to be honest I’m kinda happy to return to having black hair. Too much stress. 

50: what’s an odd thing you collect?

I dunno if it’s odd but I have boxes upon boxes of keepsakes. Ticket stubs, train passes, old notes, friendship bracelets, fortune cookie fortunes, cards, etc. I’m kinda running out of space tbh. Also, I guess I collect post-it notes? Like a massive amount of them.

combat boots

combat boots: are you a very forgiving person? do you like being this way?

Yes, I think so. And to an extent, I think it’s a good thing- because I’m not very revengeful or bitter. But it also makes me sort of a doormat, so that’s not great.

for quarantine asks, 18, 19, 22

thank you <3

18. what do you miss the most?

i miss proximity to other people and just having the general option to make plans or hang out. also, sitting in coffeeshops/parks? i’ve had so much time to write and do work but i miss that really comforting atmosphere.

19. what do you not miss?

this one is a little hard to answer, but maybe just crowds/busy public transport.

22. what have you been doing more of?

i’ve roleplayed a little bit and that’s cool, especially since i haven’t done it in a while. i’ve also got to talk to @ask-scorpius-hyperion-malfoy so much more and spend time with him. writing poetry (and submitting to journals agh), baking, cooking, and also i’ve bleached my hair and might dye it- which, ooof.
