what did you think of portrait of a lady on fire?

ok I know u sent this like weeks ago and IM SORRY

I thought it was really good!!! I’ve probably only watched like 1 or 2 actual gay movies so seeing someone kind of like me accurately represented (not fetishized/demonized/etc) was nice. I’m not good at reviewing movies idk ksjdksjd I rlly liked it

#i cant put my feelings into words : #:’)** #thank u for asking tho!! #asks #persimmongal

hey y’all!

starting in november i will be applying to colleges as a freshman. i don’t have financial aid or fee waivers but i still have to pay for my applications myself and they’ll probably be over $300. its really difficult for me to get a job because my entire family is high risk for covid, and the college apps would take up almost half of all my savings. if you could help even the tiniest bit, my venmo is @/emilyws and my cash app is @persimmongal. any donations or even advice would be very very welcome thank you!!

#emspeaks #donations #:/ sorry yall

Who's to say that all the world's saved don't already have Sentai we havent seen. Milk world could have milkranger. There could be dried persimmonger or kotsakuger or sdger.

I think dried persimmonger and persimmonger should be rival teams like lupinranger and patrenger

“I want to be a sweetheart in every moment / full of goats & xylophones, as charming / as a hill with a small village on it. / I want to be a village full of sweethearts, / as you are, every second of the day, / cooking me soups & drawing me pictures / & holding me, my inexplicable & elephant sadness, / with your infinite arms.” - chen chen

“I started living alone, vacuuming my apartment weekly, saving parmesan rinds for soup, calling to negotiate better rates for utilities. I became a better cook and friend, especially to myself. These specific tasks are not meant to demonstrate adulthood, the inane fantasy of the unrigorous that there is a finite level—based often on what you can afford to own and what that implies—at which no further acquisition of skills or growth is necessary. Rather, it’s to illustrate that I now live my life in a way that suggests I care to be in it. Naturally that desire transfers to other tasks, practices, and ways of relating––what I mean is that it transfers to love.” - lucy morris

“Everyone needs a place. / You need it for the moment you need it, then you bless it — ‘thank you soup...’” - richard siken

“By definition, comfort foods are rich and creamy or evocative of childhood pleasures.” - samin nosrat

“every time my family went on a road trip when i was young we would go to this restaurant that was famous for its split pea soup and they had the cardboard cutouts in front that you put your face up to. and my brother and i would always take a picture. and now i have a collection of pictures of us growing up in front of that split pea soup restaurant” - @persimmongal

“Soup is the song of the hearth... and the home.” - louis p. de gouy

“Every time I feed people, I am offering them the universe on a plate" - jeong kwan

“I want to remember us this way—

late September sun streaming through

the window, bread loaves and golden

bunches of grapes on the table,

spoonfuls of hot soup rising

to our lips, filling us

with what endures.” - peter pereira

every card im given, i keep. i still have the t shirt i was wearing when i had my first kiss even though id never wear it now. the coffee cup sleeve from a date a year ago? its in my drawer. grocery store and bubble tea receipts from when me and my best friend have gone out together over the last couple years? i kept every single one. ive written a journal entry for around 1000 days in a row. i am like my own personal archivist! i save all these little pieces of my life for my future self to look back on as proof that i lived

#its ok to rb this btw #starting to think i have abandonment issues #i dont want to forget anything! #and ive missed SO MUCH already #ive never felt as lonely as i do now! and its only going to get worse from this point forward #i know i grew up a lonely child and i have experience with this but its so bad now and i dont know how to cope with it on this level #watching things grow #ok aida #persimmongal #im gonna miss u so much

hi💘💘

if it wasnt for the nights - abba

i got appointments, work i have to do / keeping me so busy all the day through / they're the things that keep me from thinking of you / ohhh baby, i miss you so, i know i'm never gonna make it

#THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME #it was so hard choosing lyrics for this one #i chose these because other then the chorus this is the part me n my friends sing the loudest :') #persimmongal #wesley #music #asks #engulfes

[sunpdf]

can you do 3, 7, 13, 22 and 100?? and mayb if i want.. elaborate as to why you listen to it / how it makes you feel ?? 🥺💌

yes of course :’)

3. if it wasnt for the nights by abba 

this year has been ROUGH but my go-to pick me up song? if it wasnt for the nights baby! i listen to this when im feeling down and i need to motivate myself to go shower or study or just when im feeling like dancing around  

its definitely one of my favorite songs of all time and i have a lot of really good memories i associate with it :’) i used to work at a cafe before all of this happened and i remember blasting this while closing at the end of the day when everyone had left? i was listening to it on my way to my first date with my partner too! and once i was doing a silly little friendship quiz with my friend @persimmongal and one of the questions was “what is your friends favorite song” and i said i didnt really think i had one but she said she thought i did and that it was if it wasnt for the nights and i didnt know it then but she was right! it is! 

i think most of all it reminds me of the moments when i was growing into the best version of myself and being with my found family

7. tal uno by barrie 

i remember all the times @persimmongal told me to listen to this band. i kept forgetting to so i didnt really begin listening to barrie until maybe january of february of this year? but once i did i was hooked 

i have a tendency to get attached to certain songs for about a week at a time? basically ill listen to that song on repeat for hours every day for at least a few days in a row lmao. im pretty sure its a neurodivergent thing 

plus, im not sure what the exact name for it is but i think i really like dream pop genre of music. im really prone to zoning out and it does cause me to just forget i exist a lot of the time but not in a bad way. it makes me forget i exist in a relaxing way

13. rhiannon by fleetwood mac 

im not sure what to say about this one - it was definitely one of the songs my brain latched onto at a certain point this year. i remember i was going through a pretty bad depressive episode and i was working a lot at that time to distract myself from a lot of what was going on in my life

22. saturated by barrie 

wow you picked out two (2) barrie songs! this one is kind of the same situation as tal uno? almost all of my memories with this song i associate with @persimmongal! it reminds me of studying together with her at our favorite cafes. and we take different busses home but we used to have this little tradition where i would take her bus with her for just one (1) stop just to spend the extra 5 minutes together

100. im looking through you by the beatles 

i remember writing letters while listening to this? i had a pretty strong beatles phase in middle school lmao. i dont listen to them very much anymore but there are a few beatles songs that i listened to on repeat for weeks this year and those were michelle and im looking through you

hiii aida what r some of ur fav flowers 💐💐

hi ahona!

im not sure what my favorites are? for the most part, i don’t think much of flowers unless i associate specific memories with them 

i love buying flowers for my loved ones though! i bought pussy willows with my friend @persimmongal once, plus she made this post about tiny little flowers that remind her of fairies! in my mind those belong to her 

in spring my partner would send me pictures and videos of their garden almost daily and they never forgot to show me their pea plant :’) i like those little pea flowers too now because of them

and i didn’t think much of them before but i really like dahlias too! i bought some for them on one of our dates and idk i just look at them differently now! my pal @ilpagliaccio made me a dahlia out of orange tissue paper and blue pipe cleaners a couple years ago and its still on my shelf today

hey aida! <3 i just found your blog and spent a good while scrolling through it and it made me so full of joyful emotions in many instances that i just really wanted to say thank you. and also, i was very certain at first that you and persimmongal are dating but when i found out you’re friends i-, i was just so utterly happy to see you showing each other so much love and affection and tenderness and i just, yeah, that’s what friendships should be. i really really hope you’re doing well <3

oh my goodness! this is so sweet! :’) asks like this make my day, thank you so much! yes we are just friends not dating! i could never date anyone i love quite the same way i love her though! it’s cliche but there really is a special place in my heart reserved for her ❤️❤️❤️
