pairing - frederik vesti x reader
summary - cute and (hopefully) short moments in frederik and reader’s relationship written in headcannons
a/n - this is my first time writing for Frederik, let’s hope this isn’t that bad 🤞
★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
cooking together-
~yet another hot Danish Motorsport driver who also happens to 6’0/184cm (did i get that right) and has a very perky personality
~okay so i’m pretty sure we all learned some kind of dish from our mother/father before we left for college or our job
~and once a while when it’s a chill and relaxing night together, i see the two of you swapping recipes
~also maybe there just so happens to be a book of international dishes laying around somewhere in your apartment
~dessert recipes would be fun too, as long as the two of you don’t get into a food fight while you make if the cupcakes (no one likes cleaning up flour)
~it’s just a really fluffy idea and is really cute
going to old bookstores-
~all those really aesthetic pics of girls with their boyfriends at bookstores with vintage copies of everything
~oh yeah, that’s you and Frederik
~i think the two of you would get pulled into some bookstore when your going back to your apartment or when you’re in another country and you see a bookstore with a vibe that just pulls you in
~the three pounds for a book sale, i love that
~i think the two of you would be like, ‘okay we’re only getting four books’ and then come out with their thirty
~yeah there’s probably no self control and lots of candid pictures that the two of you took of each other
~I can just here the instagram and pinterest girlies going crazycoffee dates-
~okay here me put~the two of you would end up in a coffee shop after going to a bookstore ~and maybe you would just read or you would just talk for hours on end
~or the two of you would just have your laptops and coffee with scones or biscuits and just sit there doing work with each other’s company
~and the two of you would definitely have stolen glances at each other from time to time~and you would hold each other’s hand and it would just be all romantic and cheesy
~you guys would definitely not be able to stop laughing with you hold eye contact for too long after working for like two hours without looking at each other
visiting art galleries-
~this is for my creative and artistic girlies ~okay so, of course with traveling around the world you’re going to see a lot of art and public statues
~so like, (sorry I haven’t followed the f2 schedule in so long) of course Adachi Museum of Art, Museum voor Schone Kunsten and the Musée océanographique de Monaco
~and of course we can’t forget about the Louvre and MoMA
~i’d like to think that fashion matters when you go to museum
~like, obviously, not full blown~but maybe like Lissie Mackintosh core with your own twist, i mean have you seen her leather jackets and sunglasses
~and maybe for Frederik if we go that far we can do the sweater vest over the dress shirt and chinos or jeans
~your passion for art would be bold strong and he would love and respect that like he loves and respects you

~ Diabolik Lovers AU Story Information ~
Story Title: Love Planted a Rose. 🌹
It will be a Trilogy. Dark, Maniac, and Ecstasy.
Art Cover and Story Description, Here.
Christine Diaboy Ship: 🔪Azusa Mukami.
Tumblr media
• Artwork by The Drawables •
Azusa will be her one and only, I will NOT do Love Triangles or Multi-ship with the other Diaboys.
~ Why he calls her “Rose?” and not “Eve?”
Azusa calls Christine “Rose” mainly because of her scent of roses. But he has also said that the Red Rose in general reminds him of her.
Quotes is from a short Fanfic I wrote.
Azusa: “… I was… walking in the garden… and I picked up this… red rose for you...”
Caressing her cheek, he looks at her with so much love in his eyes.
Azusa: “You are… just… like this rose… You’re pretty… like this rose… you smell nice… like this rose … your skin is soft… like the…rose petals… and your blood… is the same color… like this rose…”
Quotes are from my Novel, Chapter 3.
Christine: “Rose? Why are you calling me “Rose?” When my name is Christine.”
He moves closer to her, runs his fingers through her hair, and strokes it. While caressing her arm with his other hand.
Azusa: “Your scent… is so good… and your skin… is so soft… like rose petals… you remind me of a beautiful red rose… The name suits you…”
“So nice... my own... little rose...”
Azusa likes to give roses to Christine as gifts, he also loves to place roses and other flowers on her hair. To him, she looks adorable. Later on in their story he also bought her a Red Rose hair clip. (The Red Rose in her hair that you see her wear in most of her arts, that's the clip he bought her) ☺️ Azusa also knows how to make Flower Crowns but he will only do those on special occasions.
Azusa and Christine both like going to the Garden a lot. They love taking walks together, holding hands, and enjoying the beautiful view of the different colors of the roses.
Roses are a huge symbol of their relationship.
The reason he doesn't call her “Eve” is because Yui Komori is in my story. She is the only true Eve. I did not want to replace Yui with Christine for the Eve Tittle. So I came up with another plan instead. Yui in this story her Diaboy choice is Ayato. (They are my favorite Ship) 🤭
Yui and Christine become good friends and you will see lots of interactions between them in the story.
So there is no reason for Azusa to call Christine “Eve” when she's not Eve.
Karlheinz has a different plan for Christine. He personally chose her. But I won't reveal that plan yet because it's a huge spoiler and a big character change. I'll probably reveal that plan in Maniac.
More information about their canon story and Ryoutei Academy. This will all be in another separate post.
~ Past Relationship ~ ⚠️
Before Azusa, Christine had a 4-year relationship with a guy from her hometown. His name is Mark. He was her first love.
Their first two years together was fantastic, and she was madly in love with him. But in their third year together everything changed. Mark started to be cold, he became verbally abusive to her. It was so bad to the point she started to believe his words. Making her feel worthless. They had lots of heated bad arguments. One time out of anger he almost raped her. He didn't succeed because someone knocked on his apartment door.
They continued this terrible relationship.
Christine even though she was unhappy she still loved him and tried to make it work. But nothing was good enough for Mark and he still continued to treat her like garbage.
One day he told her that he had been seeing someone new for a while now and that he wanted to start a serious relationship with that woman. He ends the relationship with Christine.
The fact that he was cheating behind her back, that he ended it first and moved on with someone else like she was nothing.
That broke her.
Tumblr media
• From Picrew •
There will be Flashbacks of this topic in Love Planted a Rose, and the asshole Ex will make his appearance in Maniac.
Love Planted a Rose, (Dark) will come out in either January or February. It will be published here on Tumblr and A03.
Admin Note:
If you read up here, thank you! I did try to not make this extremely long.
If you decide to read her story with Azusa, you will get to know Christine's personality even more. And of course, you will see her relationship with Azusa bloom. 💗🔪🌹
I do plan soon to open my Ask box again and maybe to do some Interactions with other Ocs.
I don't do Rps here on Tumblr. Only on Discord. If you want to Rp with Christine, just send me a DM and we can plan.

i care IMMENSELY and need to know the teams the gyms the story and all of it my hands are open my listening ears are on please please please 🤲🏻
kendy, kendy, kendy!! sorry, that this took so long it has been an absolutely wildly busy/burnt out point in my life!!!
@reveluving idk if you’re a big pkmn girly, but i feel like you would love this too 👉🏾👈🏾
i actually made teams for like 8 characters for my batman fics so let me know if you want to see another one for my damian/oc wip. 🥺
for jason and my self-ship oc, bella
Tumblr media
jason would be a dark-type gym leader by day, and definitely the leader of a violent criminal organization by night.
but what he’s doing isn’t too bad! he controls nightclubs, underground battling rings, and casinos like the ones in the game. just like in canon though, he never lets anybody harm children and he’ll hunt down any trainers in his area that are found to be abusive.
he’s tall, tough and scary but he’s sweet to his pokémon. if a kid loses to him at the gym, he won’t even take the prize money, he’ll just buy them ice cream! if teenagers or anyone older loses to his gym, he’ll just donate the prize money to local homeless shelters and places that house less fortunate children and pokémon. (not like he needs it with all of the money he makes.)
i will leave whether or not he kills people to how dark you interpret the universe to be; he would never harm a pokémon, though. anybody else remember when lance straight up murdered a team rocket member in gold/silver?
anyway this is his team!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
shiny duskull; it’s less of a pokémon he uses for battling and more just his constant companion. it’s his partner, despite being a ghost type because it’s red, masked, represents the grim reaper/death, and is a symbol of scared, crying children.
houndoom: also carries the imagery of death/hell, but it represents and his love for dogs, especially ace the bat-hound!
scrafty: it’s based on street fashion and being a delinquent, rebellious hoodlum, which fits pretty well given jason’s upbringing. duskull is his partner, but scraggy was probably the first pokémon he had.
absol: it’s a protector especially to children but is misunderstood constantly because people think it’s a bad omen of destruction, which reminds me of his reputation :(
honchcrow: it’s a mob boss, there’s not much else to say.
bisharp: wears metallic red armor and the pokédex calls it ruthless and unchanging in expression when it hunts and kills. it also usually has an army of smaller pokémon that do a lot of fighting and cutting down for it.
Tumblr media
my oc isabella works at a bookstore, which is where her romance with jason blossoms. she’s down to earth and represents the every day people of gotham in a way that the batfamily can’t, so she would definitely be a normal type trainer; similar to how lenora in bw runs her normal-type gym out of a library in the back of a museum.
the bookstore however wouldn’t be a certified gym by the league, rather it’s more of a training space for people who want to research and practice more - she’d probably limit herself to one battle a day at the very end of her shift as a way to destress and if you win, you can get any book of your choosing for free!
jason won several times and still paid ‘as a tip’ when they first met, just so she would like him more. When she tried to return it, he only agreed to take it back if he could use it to take her on a date :(
here’s her team:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
maushold: while in my actual stories, she’s comically afraid of mice, she and jason end up having a set of twins girls! plus maushold is just an inside joke with my sister who helps me develop a lot of my batman fanfiction ideas. 🥰
lopunny: because of the way it looks, people forget that lopunny can kick your ass. which is the same as isabella, who isn’t a trained fighter, but could absolutely sock you out. plus, especially with its mega evolution, lopunny takes a lot of inspiration from dancing, and isabella represents the latin side of my heritage, by being a bachatera/salsera! again, this is a love letter to my sister who’s 2nd fav is buneary!
eevee: she’s adaptable! plus, like jason, she loves puppies!
blissey: for her calming, motherly influence! (if trainers were allowed to 7 pokemon, i’d give her a kangaskhan for this too!)
cyclizar: come on. you can’t marry jason todd, without loving motorcycle rides. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
noctowl: her partner! represents her love for books and she’s a night owl, like everyone in gotham!

Love In New Orleans/4
Tumblr media
Fanfiction
an AU TVD/TO story
Part 4
Elijah Mikaelson x Elena Gilbert
Klaroline
Kennett
a/n: thank you so much for reading. xoxo
As the title said - it’s about love that three friends Elena, Caroline and Bonnie, who are native to New Orleans find, each falling for a Mikaelson.
***
The next morning Elena’s apartment
On a conference call with Bonnie and Caroline, Elena shared this-
“So, he walked out with me and - I am going crazy here- but it was like- this one moment- he looked at me - and it felt like- no, I am just imagining thing”
“It felt like he is into you? Like he wanted to kiss you?  What?”- Caroline said.
“Like- yeah- he was  into me.”
“And- what happened then?”- Bonnie asked.
“Nothing. Elijah said good night in his usual nice manner and anyway, Aiden, the  Chauffeur came, and I left.”
“Ok. Is he like I-really-care-about-you  nice or just nice nice because he is like that with everyone? How is he with - his other assistants- that Camille?- Caroline asked.
Elena thought for a second and then said-“Oh, it’s the same. He is the same nice with her, too. Everyone, really.”
‘Sorry, Elena, but I think that you are imagining things “- Bonnie said.
“You are right. I got to stop before I embarrass myself.”- Elena concluded-“ok, I got to go now.”
“I have scheduled the dress rehearsal. Moved it to 6 pm tonight, so you can be there”- Caroline said to Elena-“I hope he doesn’t put a load of work on you. You are one of my bridesmaids and you have to be there.”
“I will try.”- Elena said.
“Oh, and Klaus and I set the date. It’s the 23rd December.”
“OMG, but that’s like a month away. Did you tell him about the baby?”- Elena asked.
“No, that will be the Christmas present. And the date, that’s the free spot they got at  the Pharmacy Museum Courtyard. And I had to pull strings for that one, too. The bridal shower is in the Degas House. I will give you the whole itinary when I see you tonight.”- Caroline said.
They now all hang up and Elena went to read different proposals she had to present later to Elijah.
💝
As Caroline finished her conversation with Elena, she saw that she had a missed call from Klaus. She returned his call and as he answered, he had this to say-
“They have finally  found out who my biological mother was. I have a name.”- Klaus said happily.
“OMG, really? Who is it?”
“Her name was Esther Evans.”- Klaus said-“but they still have to check things out. She gave birth to me in England, but then they have to check marriages etc.”
“That is so great. You might be meeting her soon. How about your father? Did they find him?”
“Not yet. But if we find her, she will be able to tell me.”- Klaus said.
“So happy for you”- Caroline said-“would you - maybe change your name then?”
“No. Because my adoptive parents were great people and I am proud to have their name.”- Klaus said.
“Yes. And I will be proud to have it, too.”- Caroline said-“Love you so much.”
“Love you, too.”- Klaus said-“What do you have today?”
“I am choosing the dress today.”- Caroline replied-“for you it’s easy - just your uniform.”
“You are beautiful, no matter what you wear.”- Klaus said sweetly.
“Did I say that I love you?”
“You did, but it is nice to hear it.”- Klaus said.
After exchanging more love, they hang up.
💗
Later in the day
And what about Kol and Bonnie?
Well,..as Kol took Sven to pre-school, he went to the same bookstore where Bonnie held her reading, to get some more books for his son, but also some for him.
Entering the horror section, he smiled a little seeing  Bonnie there.
As he approached her, he said-
“Hi. Never took you for horror/gothic lover”- Kol said as he saw her holding some books she had chosen.
“Hi.”- Bonnie said -“I like the grooly stuff, too”- Bonnie said-“not just fairy tales.”
“Well, I am here for the grooly, creepy and bloody stuff, too. I must have been a vampire or something in my past life.”
“I think I was a witch.”- Bonnie said jokingly-“well, I have always dressed as one for Halloween.”
“A good or a wicked witch?”- Kol asked chuckling a bit.
“I think a good one, like Glinda.”- Bonnie replied-“I guess you would be a Dracula type?”
“I was notorious as a kid, so- definitely a bad boy. At least that’s what my sisters say.”
“A bad boy, ha?”- Bonnie said chuckling.
“They can write books about the mischievous things I’ve done, driving my parents crazy.”
“It’s hard for me to imagine this. I mean, seeing you with your little kid and the way you are with him.”
“Well, love changes things.”- Kol said with a streak of sadness in his voice.
“It so does.”- Bonnie said and trying to lighten things up asked"so- I recommend The House of Furies. Really spooky. “
"All right.”- Kol said-“and if I can’t sleep at night because of the book, can I call you to keep me company?”
He smiled cheekily at her.
“You can.”- Bonnie said.
💕
In the Mayor’s office
Elijah was on the phone to Freya -
“Yes, last night was really great and I agree  that we should do this more often. Yes, count me in for Christmas Eve dinner. Ok- don’t worry about it. It was short notice. Talk to you soon. Ok. Bye”
As he hang up, he called Elena in the office. She got in and he said-
“I have a huge favour to ask.”
“Yes, Mr. Mayor?”- Elena said.
“Freya cannot accompany me to the Charity Ball tomorrow night. It is not in your job description, and I really feel bad to spring this on you, but would you accompany me to the Ball?”
“Yes, I would.”- Elena said not thinking twice.
“That is - thank you.” -Elijah said extremely greatful.
“It is fine. It will be a great opportunity to talk to Councillor Guererra if you don’t mind about the Sewage system proposal. I also  have some suggestions about some points.”
“Yes, you could talk to her, because she and I always disagree and she lost the election to me  and somehow I get the feeling that she doesn’t like me much.”
“You were so much more convincing at the debate”- Elena said-“even though she had some good points and I will use them. It’s all for the city anyway.”
“True.”- Elijah said-“it’s all for the City.”
“You really love it?”
“I grew up here, even though I wasn’t born here.”- Elijah said-“it’s an amazing place, absolutely unique.”
“Yeah, it really is unique”- Elena agreed.
And with that they commenced discussing the matter at hand.
That evening as she met her friends in the bridal shop, she told them about the invitation to the Ball.
“I have nothing to wear. I mean - for a Ball”- Elena explained.
Caroline was now in her element. Playing the Fairy Godmother the minute she heard about the invitation.
“Louise”- she said to the shop assistant-“can uou get a few Ball dresses bring over from your other shop?”
“Of course, we can”- the shop assistant replied.
“Weren’t we supposed to help you pick your wedding dress?”- Elena asked.
“Yes, but this is more urgent. The Ball is tomorrow and you need a dress like now!”- Caroline said.
“I agree.”- Bonnie said.
“I don’t need anything too special”- Elena said.
“And why not?”- Caroline said-“You might meet someone special.”
“I think she has already done that.”- Bonnie said referring to Elijah.
“Well, true. And make him go all hot for you.”- Caroline said.
“What are you talking about?”- Elena acted innocently.
“Seriously, Elena. I know you are in this professional limbo kind  a thing with him- but - he is - tall, dark and handsome!”
“Nothing can happen!”- Elena said huffing-“I just want a simple Ball gown.”
“Oh, come on, Elena. Live a little.”- Caroline said.
“This is not High School��- Elena said.
“I second that.”- Bonnie said and added with a little smirk- “I met Kol today.”
“Now, you are telling us!”- Caroline said excited to hear more. Elena was all ears as well.
“He invited me to go out for a drink, and I said yes.”
“OMG!”- Caroline exclaimed-“There is a development. Where did you meet?”
Bonnie now told them about all of her and Kol’s chance meeting at the bookstore.
“This is like stuff from the movies”- Caroline said-“both of you are into the Mikaelson brothers!”
“It spooky, right?”- Bonnie said as it had  just sunk in that it was so.
“Maybe you will have a double wedding.”- Caroline now said.
“Aren’t you a bit ahead of yourself?!”- Bonnie said-“he had just asked me for a drink. That’s all.”
“You never know. Look at Klaus and me. We met at a Ball, just about the same time last year, and now I am picking a wedding dress out.”- Caroline said happily.
“Talking about dresses.”- Elena now saw the shop assistant rolling in some gowns from their other shop.
The women now went on trying out the gowns and having some girly fun.
🎄❤💕🌛
The next day
Elena was getting ready for the Ball, putting on the gown with a little help of her friend Caroline.
As Elena finally was ready, Caroline and her took a selfie sending it to Bonnie.
“You look amazing.”- Caroline said as Elena took one more look at the mirror and had to agree with her friend.
Not long after, the Aidan, the Chauffeur came to the door telling Elena that he was sent to pick her up.
Elena took her clutch bag and the shawl and as the women were now down in front of the building, she thanked Caroline for all her help.
“Knock him out”- Caroline said in a low voice to Elena.
“This is not a date.”- Elena reminded her friend.
“Technically not.”- Caroline said-“have fun and forget about everything else for one evening.”
Elena rolled her eyes at her friend putting a little smile on and then  went to the car, where Aiden was already held the door open for her. She slipped in the car and off she went like Cinderella to her Ball.
As she got in the car, her phone rang and it was Elijah.
“Good evening, Ms. Gilbert.”- Elijah said-“I was just wondering if you aere on your way?”
“Yes.  I am on the way.”- Elena said.
“I apologize, but something has come up and I b am running  late. I had to return to the office.”
“What happened?”
“There was some security breech, involving Camille’s uncle. It is nothing serious, but, I needed to go back to clarify things.”- Elijah explained-“I will explain everything in detail when I see you in a little while.”
“All right, Mr. Mayor.”- Elena said and they both hung up.
Being Elijah’s, more or less, right hand, Elena was approached by one of the President of the NOLA Council, Vincent Griffith, as she got out of the car.
“The Mayor will be a little late.”- Elena explained as they saw her arrive and Elijah was no show.
“We had hoped that he will be here by now. We thought he will give a little speech.”- Josephine LaRue, the hostess of the Ball now came up to Elena.
Elena, the born diplomat, insured the brisk hostess that she should not worry and that Elijah would be there as he had promised.
And so it was, not long after, Elijah arrived. Elena was already busy talking to Councillor Guerrera, industrious as she was.
Josephine was more than happy seeing the Mayor arrive and took him hostage immediately.
As he finished with her, he went to find Elena, who was talking to Vincent. As he got to the corner where she they stood, he stopped for a second, his heart left breathless by the vision of her in the gown. If his heart wasn’t lost to her already, now it definitely would do so. She was jaw-dropping beautiful and his heart    jumped up as he now got to them.
“I am really sorry that it all went the way it did today.”- he said.
“Is everything resolved?”- Elena asked.
“Yes.”- Elijah replied-“and now I have to leave you again, as the hostess wants me to officially open the Ball.”
Elena uttered- all right and he went to do his duty.
“It gives me great pleasure to extend to you all a very warm welcome on behalf of the LaRue family, who has been the host of the Christmas Charity Ball for more than a century. As it has always been the tradition, the evening will start as always with a century old waltz, so I invite you to find yourself a partner and meet us in the Ball room.”
As he finished his little chat with other members of the LaRue family, he went to find Elena.
“May I have this dance?”- he said in the old fashion putting the hand out to her.
Elena nodded slightly. And for a moment there she thought that maybe this was not such a good idea, but Elijah had already put his hand out to the dance formation, and slid his hand around her waist placing it lightly on her back. His touch made her heart rate quicken. And they swayed over the dance floor with the rest of the couples.  Elena felt like she was in a dream. The warmth between them grew more powerful by the second, and she was now feeling her heart would run out of her chest.
She was partly glad when the dance finished, and partly she wished it continued forever.
Gentlemanly, Elijah thanked for the dance and as they moved away from the Ball room, as he had to see an official, Elena had scheduled for him the other day. She took the opportunity to get out in the garden.
“Cool it.”- she muttered to herself, taking a deep breath.
She looked up at the moon smiling down at her.
“I can’t do this anymore”- she thought gazing up to the shiny round satellite - “Please, help me get over this. This can’t be. We work together. What is happening to me?”
And she stood like that for a little while trying to work out her emotions.
“Ms Gilbert?”- she heard Elijah’s voice call out and she sharply turned to face him.
Here you are!? Aren’t you cold?“- Elijah said.
"No”- Elena replied shortly-“I needed some fresh air. Too many people in there.”
“Yes, it is quite crowded inside.”- Elijah agreed and added-“ if you wish we can leave. There is nothing we need to do here anymore.”
“All right- yeah.” - Elena said, a tiny smile curling up on her face.
“I will give Aiden a call.”-  Elijah took his phone out and dialled the Chauffeur’s number.
As Elijah finished with Aiden, Elena said that she had left her shawl inside.
“I will get it for you.”- he said and Elena said that she would meet him at the car.
Elijah nodded a little in agreement and went inside.
Half an hour later they were in front of Elena’s apartment building and the gentleman he was, Elijah walked her to the door.
“This me. Thank you for taking me home.”- Elena said gesturing to the door, taking the key out of her bag.
“This is a least I could have done. Thank you for - like always- the great work you- do.”- Elijah said somewhat clumsily looking at her charmingly.
Elena nodded feeling all the butterflies in her stomach fly high - and like moonstruck, both lost themselves in gasping looks before their lips met. He kissed her and the world fell away. It was slow and soft at first, then deepening it lovingly.
His hand rested below her ear, his thumb caressing her cheek as their breaths mingled breaking up, looking at one another still feeling the swirls of emotions dancing up inside of them.

Aaaaall the warm-hearted asks! 😊😘💖 With "Name three things (for each) you'd love to do if/when you visit London, Paris and Oslo" for the final question 😉💕💖🌹🗼🌷🍦
THANK YOU, you're so good to me!!
Weather - What do you love most?
Besides my loved ones--coffee, books, classical music
Dove - How do you express love?
I'm very verbally affectionate. I also love taking care of people--making them food or coffee, bringing them treats, looking after their needs of all sorts.
Friendship Bracelet - What does friendship mean to you?
Friendship is being there for a person, holding their good things & bad things like you would your own. It's also laughing a lot.
Loveseat- Describe your ideal house
I'd love a bungalow or Victorian cottage. Tons of colors and patterns and life. Plenty of bookshelves with rolling ladders. A little garden.
Record Player - Love songs or breakup songs?
Love songs. I'm definitely a romantic at heart.
Stargaze - Celebrity crush?
The late, great John Quincy Adams
Planter - Do you have a green thumb?
I'm working on it. Right now I'm struggling with houseplants. I do have an herb garden of which I'm very fond.
Linen - Do you prefer being friends with someone before starting a romantic relationship with them or starting straight into love?
Friendship first. I like that foundation to be there, because a firm foundation gives the base for all sorts of growth.
Hot Cocoa - Three things you love about yourself?
I'm smart, creative, and compassionate.
Valentine - Do you like pda?
I do not. I'm very private about that area of my life and it always surprises me when people aren't.
Succulent - What are you looking forward to?
It's going to SNOW tonight and I'm seeing two of my closest friends tomorrow night! It's going to be lovely.
Bath bomb - What is the best form of self care?
Taking care of what my therapist calls your "vulnerability factors"--making sure you aren't too hungry, thirsty, tired, or over/understimulated.
Roadtrip - Where is the farthest you’ve been from home?
Anaheim to the west, Lille or Madrid to the east.
Brown Sugar - What is making your heart warm today?
A close friend texted me this afternoon telling me she's making a cake for my birthday dinner with them tomorrow night. So sweet, and she's the best baker I know!
Pearls - Do you want to get married?
Someday, probably, once my mental health is sorted out.
Seaside - Ideal date?
Dinner and the symphony.
Luna Moth - City or country?
City, definitely. I appreciate the country, I really do, but I can't manage without the symphony, ballet, bookstores, theater, etc etc.
Velvet - What is your style?
My style is a weird mix of girly/classic/bohemian. It's peculiar, but it suits me, I think.
Cupcake - Are you in love?
I am not, for which I am frankly thankful because I have enough going on as it is.
Romcom - Is your story a comedy or tragedy?
A comedy, definitely. Even I have to laugh sometimes.
Sunset - Ask anything you want!
Okay, things I'd like to do in...
London: I went to school here, and I'd love to revisit my old haunts in the Regent's Park area, go back to the British Museum, and go shopping & for tea at Harrods.
Paris: One of my favorites! The Louvre, Saint-Chappelle, and Notre Dame, for sure.
Oslo: In my top three of places I'm dying to visit. I want to go to the Viking Ship Museum, the Oslo Fjord, and the Norsk Folkemuseum. Someday...

From the Happy Asks Post: Fairy lights, Dancing, Cats 🤗
Fairy Lights: If someone wanted to get to know me, they should definitely watch any British television show because I’m an Anglophile. They should read Sherlock Holmes, C.S. Lewis, the Bible, and Hamlet. They should listen to folk and indie!
Dancing: My dream date? Oh boy. To be honest, I’ve never really thought about this before. My dream date would be exploring a city, tea/coffee in hand. Grabbing dinner at a little cafe next to a river as the sun dips low into the sky. My dream date would be spending hours in a bookstore or museum, talking about anything and everything.
Cats: I love waking up late and staying in my pj’s, making tea, reading, watching Netflix, journaling and taking pictures!
Thanks girlie 💕
