I was tagged by @sirtadcooper - thank you!! 😃

Tag someone you want to know AND/OR some of your besties.

(mandatory under the cut because I'm an idiot who can't keep it short to save her life 😅)

Favourite colour: this is an easy one, I'm in an established relationship and still madly in love after so many years with practically every shade of violet/purple that exists! 💜 Maybe I'm slightly more drawn to colder hues, but I'm not really that picky when it comes to this family of colours!

(This is a picture of a portion of wall in my bedroom I have asked to be painted with this shade of violet - which is a bit darker in reality but y' know, artificial light, that corner is way too dark to photograph otherwise... the whole room has various hues of purple scattered around: curtains, decorations, blankets, pillows... here's a special appearance of my beautiful boat lamp! ⛵💕)

Last song: thanks to a suggestion from Youtube, which probably hates me, because I'm still recovering from a flu and generally weak so it would be wise to avoid any kind of unneccessary emotional outburst:

Not technically a song, but still... I'm not sure if I was crying while watching this because I haven't had the chance to listen to them live yet, since they made a European tour twice but never touched my country and I couldn't travel abroad to see them, or because of... whatever it is that is going on with this performance and these artists, "epicness" to me barely covers it, I know I'm exaggerating but that's how much I love Two Steps From Hell, what can I say... In any case here I am being even more of a mess than I already am, you'd think I have had enough of using handkerchiefs these days! 😭❤️‍🔥

Last movie: I think it was Imagine me & you, which I finally watched after seeing a lot about it here (unpopular opinion no one asked for, I thought I would have enjoyed it more... ☹️)... It was either that or Bros (which I actually enjoyed it more than I expected instead 😁), at the moment I don't remember exactly which came last...

Currently watching: Fellow Travelers as for new shows (fuck me, seriously, what am I doing to myself 😭 - I'm crying quite a bit in this post 😅), rewatching Blackadder after having finished A bit of Fry and Laurie 😆, and sports as well, mainly tennis, padel and basketball atm!

Other stuff I watched this year: Oh my, I didn't watch an awful lot of things, but I'll surely forget something - I'm terrible remembering this kind of stuff (if only it was just these things 😅)! Let's see, in no particular order, I can recall Minx (so far this year the most pleasant surprise in terms of TV series I've watched for the first time, silly [affectionate] little show), Wednesday (it was a bit meh for me, not sure if I'll watch next season), Red, white & royal blue (likely one of my favourite movies this year ❤️... yeah, it's not certainly a big deal of a movie ofc and I'm not even a rom com gal, especially for those Hallmark style movies, like this kinda is, but idk, it was cute and warm and brought good feelings and probably I watched it in the right moment for me, or one on which I just needed good vibes, what can I say), Call me by your name (even more than watching the movie reading the book was... quite an experience - I'm not saying it an entirely bad way, but I'm still so utterly confused about my feelings about this novel), What's love, The kissing booth (don't ask me about this one, the things I do to watch an actor I like 😅 - there's a whole trilogy of it but I only watched the two movies that had in the cast the actor I was interested in, really can't be bothered to do more than that, it was enough suffering I endured 🤣), Only murders in the building, The witcher, National treasure: edge of history (I don't care what anyone says, this show deserved at least another season, it was far from perfect but there has been way worse that still sticks around, and I'm speaking as a fan of the movies foremost, especially the first one, which is one of my comfort movies, as absurd and silly as it is 😊), Shadow and bone, The witcher (as for these, I'll probably keep watching an eventual next season only for some of the cast, because both were an utter disappointment and I wouldn't bother continuing otherwise), let's see, what else, oh yeah, Smiley (this was another nice show tbh, and in this case I could also train my ear a bit on the language since it's in Spanish and I'm trying to learn and improve it 😝) and two other Spanish shows (guilty again for watching mainly for an actor I wanted to see ah ehm), Merlì/Merlì: Sapere Aude and Alguien tiene que morir, and Érase una vez… pero ya no, all pretty much forgettable... I don't know what else, probably there is something more, but I'm making it lenghty already, I should stop anyway!

Shows I dropped this year/didn’t finish: damn, I should make a sheet about tv/movies as I do with books, it's honestly hard remembering what I watched or dropped! I can recall not going through the second episode of Warrior nun: again, another show I was curious about having seen things here on Tumblr, but I didn't feel it after the first episode, I'm not even sure exactly why - it's possible I'll try again someday, it's way too early to have an opinion after only one episode! I also didn't finish Lockwood & co., this one wasn't really for me tbh... I'm not even mentioning something I've been watching only and exclusively because it's a sort of joke I have with a friend of mine... All right, I'll say, it's High School Musical: The musical - the series 😅 Truth is, my friend likes the movies and low key also the series, whereas I hate them all, and she knows they piss me off and she has fun hearing my comments and teasing me about it... I have a bit less fun submitting myself to this "torture" but whatever! 🤣 I try to watch the series when I'm particularly willing to waste my time, because the only reason I'm doing it is to have a laugh with said friend, anyway rn I'm at the last season and it's so bad, sooooooo bad (mind you, meaning it's just not for me, I'm likely too old and too millennial to watch this kind of shows anymore), I don't know how I am supposed to endure any more of it lol!! I guess at some point I'll force myself to finish it to end my suffering and hoping my friend and I will finally close this questionable chapter of our watching experience, but damn it's hard! 😝 As for shows of which I completed a season but didn't watch the next, I could say one was Abbott Elementary: pretty bummed about it because it was actually cute and was enjoying it, I finished the first season when the second didn't air yet and when it did, I had moved on and lost interest a bit and wasn't in the mood to continue my watching (happens to me a lot)... I think at some point I will resume this one, just have to find the right inspiration! 😛 (I'm rather complicated and picky about my watching/reading experience in general, ops) And I have to mention as well, even if it will surely grant me some disapproval from the person who tagged me in this game 😆, I couldn't pick up Our flag means death after the first season as well, and for now I don't think I will resume it: I didn't really feel this show, I don't know what to say... 🤷 Should I mention that I also tried rewatching The Terror but I was like "oh hell no!" after the first episode?! 😅 In my defense I watched it at night, and the show is A LOT and nearly killed me the first time, yeah ok I'm making excuses but I have to be in a certain state of mind to watch certain things and The Terror is one of those cases - I already mentioned I'm complicated with my watching experience, yes?! 😜 Anyway it was a rewatch so it shouldn't count sssshhhh 🤫😁

Currently reading: more like, the books I've put on hold atm, ouch! True that this year, especially in the first half, I've read way more than I expected and definitely way more than I usually do, but that's not an excuse to make a pause - still, I'm realizing that it's been few weeks since I've picked up my readings! Anyway, what I've been reading is Mercanti avventurieri by Attilio Brilli, which collects stories about merchants and their travels and trades through the centuries; Columbus by Lawrence Bergreen, the account of Cristoforo Colombo's voyages in America - not happy enough of ending up horrified and outraged by the chronicle of Magellano's expedition (by the story and events, not the author's writing, which I actually appreciated a lot), I decided to educate myself more about another so called "pioneer" who thanks to his hubris committed terrible atrocities in the name of "progress" and "religion" and "civilization" and so on 😡 , since the little knowledge I have about Colombo comes mainly from my years at school... Despite the fact that my respect for this man is nowhere to be seen, I'm still somehow fascinated by the narration of sea voyages, which in the end are actually my main interest when reading this kind of stories; Atlante delle fortune di mare di Cyril Hofstein, an account of tales about (mis)fortunes at sea, involving incidents, lost treasures, mysterious events, discoveries, disappearances, disasters and so forth - btw, in the book there is this particular chapter:

The disappearance of the Erebus and Terror is the title - the real story is terrifying enough even without creating a fictional horror show inspired by it jfc!

And lastly, this is definitely the less "serious" reading, The Lawrence Browne affair by Cat Sebastian, one of my first attempts at reading "proper" (meaning they're not fanfictions, not that I don't consider those "proper" literature, on the contrary many of them are written far better than some published books I've read, so yeah, I should say "published" instead) erotic novels lmao 😝 This was a whim really, I felt I wanted to read something light, "wicked" and not to be taken seriously (it also was probably some sort of "knee-jerk reaction" to many of the queer books I read this year, which were sad, depressing and/or tragic 😔)! Romance novels are not really my jam in general, but every once in a while they don't hurt, since I'm doing it just for fun! This one is actually the second book of a trilogy, more disappointing than the first book I have to say, which was more "juicy" and entertaining! 😁

Currently listening to: ah, this is a tough one to pinpoint, because lately my Spotify is on shuffle most of the time (I have a folder literally called "Miscellanea" that keeps a bit of everything, it's a glorious mess lol), and my music preferences are rather varied... Let's say that if I have to consciously choose something at the moment, there would certainly be Poets of the Fall, Gaelic Storm, The Irish Rovers, Santiano (in general celtic folk/punk songs, especially if inspired by sea and sailors stories- those are good for all seasons 🥰), Two Steps From Hell, J2 and "epic music" in general, and dance-pop music from '70 to '00, original or remixes, especially when I work out in the last case!

Currently working on: do crosswords count? It's my newest pursuit lol 😆 Because otherwise I'm afraid I'm not working on anything in particular at the moment (and I should start, since I had a couple of ideas for gifts for Christmas that alas, have to be handcrafted in order to be created, and if I want to have them done I am the one who must work on them, ugh can you believe it, outrageous, what has the world come to 😂)... I occasionally do a bit of calligraphy, create costume jewellery or create little macramè things, again usually trinkets but this summer I bought thicker yarns so I could have a go at something a little bigger like coin purses, wallets and little bags, and all in all it didn't go that bad:

The problem is, at least with the purses, that with these dimensions I can't fit half the things I usually bring with me when I go out because "you never know what might happen I might need this thing", so these purses were more like first tries and will likely not be used by me very much because they are too small for my necessities! 😅 In any case, I had to put this activity on hold for a bit because I lacked some time to dedicate myself to it!

Oh, wait, does trying to repair a porcelain ornament that fell on the floor (not because of me, I want to clarify, for once that I don't accidentally bump into stuff and make a mess - which happens more often than I'd like 😅) count? Hardly but whatever, anyway it's going to be complicated to glue the pieces back, some have shattered in such tiny fragments, sigh...

Current obsession: I'm almost shocked to report that at the current moment no particular obsession has consumed my every waking hour 🤣 I mean, even the flame of padel, which I've been following almost religiously all year, has dimmed a little, but it is the end of the season/year, everyone is tired and so am I apparently, rooting for couples who almost never have significant results (story of my life lol), so I guess I'm recharging the batteries for another round of hopeless cheer next year, yay! 🥳 For the rest, in terms of media I believe there is nothing of significance to report in terms of proper "obsession" for the time being, so yeah, that's it 😌 (the times of Black Sails or even Agents of SHIELD are far behind me, I miss being that "obsessed" tbh ☹️)

Tagging @thelifeinmyshadesofgrey , @whitestnoise , @lives-ruined-and-bloodshed, @valentinaonthemoon , @mednay , @tirairgid (ofc if you want to and haven't done it before) and whoever wants to give it a go really!

For the ask game: Doctor Who if you'd like to do the rest and the TV show you were most obsessed with in 2020, whatever that was. If it was DW then the TV show you're watching right now, maybe? Either way have fun!

Favourite character: The Master, all of them, always <3

Funniest character: I will go with Donna

Best-looking character: it;s always so hard to choose best looking character, cos they are all so good looking, idk, Clara, Martha, Amy, Yaz, Dhawan!Master's gorgeous eyelashes <3

3 favourite ships: gomez!master\twelve, dhawan!master\thirteen, simm!master\ten hehe okay I did cheat here cos it's literally one ship for me, but I don't really 'ship' anybody else there

Least favourite character: I don't think I have one

Reason why I watch it: because it's absolutely brilliant incredible fantastic amazing... you get the point :D it makes me feel good, it makes me laugh, and sometimes even cry, it makes me feel something. If I don't feel anything then I am not interested in it. A good story always makes you feel something.

Why I started watching it: Oh, who remembers now, it was on tv and I watched it cos what else would I do back when I was smol and had no internet, and then stopped watching cos I could not accept the new doctor (pffft like I would slap my younger self for that now) and then Michelle Gomez happened in my life and honestly I would kill for her, so I got back and now it's one of the best shows I have ever seen and I love it so much <3

a show I was obsessed back in 2020? why 2020? :D I was obsessed with many shows, but somehow I did not pay attention what year it was lmao I think it's easier to find the answer by checking my blog, cos if I was obsessed with it - I was probably creating something for the show. I was obsessed with DW too, I am sure. And Star Trek, those are the shows I am always obsessed about. Maybe I am not yelling about them all the time, cos I love them for a long time now, but they are always there <3 Caos, mostly Michelle, guess it was not long after I watched ouat and was still obsessed with Regina, but when I am not obsessed with dark haired villains who can step on me honestly. The boys, the owl house.

right now Im finishing 4400 the old one, but also watch ongoing shows which episodes drop every week, like constellation, young sheldon, resident alien.

thanks for the ask, and have a good day ❤️

Well. I did it. 90 pages of Black Sails gifs I have now scrolled through. At the 20-odd page mark I said to myself, "Wow, there sure are a lot of gifs here - I wonder how many pages are left." I checked and saw that it was 90. I could have given up at any point but your talent for giffing shone through and I just couldn't stop. For months. (Pretty Flint kept me going.) Now I have reached the end I just wanted to thank you very much for your service. I've had a wonderful time in your edit tag! <3

bless you and thank you oh my god you are a true hero surviving that much flint related content.. i didn't know there were that many pages hghsddfgh FLINT MY BELOVED those were the best days on this hellsite.. anyway thank you so much for the compliment and i'm so glad you enjoyed scrolling through my descent into madness 💖

For the ask game: multiples of 12! 😊

thanks ruth!! &lt;3

this is gonna be a LONG one, so i'll put it under a cut heh

(if you're reading all my answers just know that i love you forever and THANKS)

12: What time were I born

uuuh i remember my mom telling me this not that long ago but i can't remember lol. it was around 6 or 7 in the morning, i think

24: Favourite style of clothing

dark, gender neutral, nerdy, effortless

36: Tattoos and piercing i have

neither. i've never even had earrings. i'm too chicken to get actual piercings, tho i love the look. would love to get some tattoos, but money......

48: Do I live with my Mom and Dad?

oh god no. i mean, i love them, but after moving out 6 years ago it wouldn't be easy to go back. my mom and i tend to go at each other's throats after spending more than 3 days together lol. (i am legally registered at their place tho - but i live in a sort of dorm/boarding home in another city rn)

60: Do I prefer to be behind the camera or in front of it?

behind. i hate being photographed. 💀

72: Can I touch my nose with a tounge?

nope. would be a fun skill tho

84: I accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what’s even cooler is that they endow me with the super-power of my choice! What is that power?

halting time. no rewinding of forwarding it, just HALTING. just to have more hours to Do Stuff in a day. 🙃

96: Bullied someone on the internet?

nope. i would cut off my own hand before doing that. I was bullied on the internet and it was one of the worst things i ever had to experience. very traumatic and i still have to deal with the aftermath today ugh

108: Watched TV for 5 hours straight?

DUH ofc. back in the day (2013....) i managed to binge-watch 10-12 doctor who episodes in ONE DAY. it was. a difficult time (mental health-wise) and i needed Distraction

120: Wore make up?

yeah.. but not like. seriously. stole some from my mom and tried it out when i was like 14 but never really got the hang of it. also it was (is) too much effort and too expensive AND a sensory nightmare. i like to paint my nails tho.

132: Been rejected by a crush?

nope. but that's bc i never confessed in the first place 🫠

144: Am I afraid of the dark?

a lil bit, yeah. good thing i live in a big city with lots of light pollution eh

ask me stuff!

For the ask game: multiples of 8 please! 💖

hi ruth! 🌼

8. What’s your favorite band/artist?

florence + the machine!

16. Want any tattoos? What of?

answered here :D

24. When was the last time you cried? Why?

it was long enough ago that i don't remember the reason :)

32. If you could go anywhere right now, where would you go?

egypt or greece. i'm a huge history nerd and would love to visit both places someday

40. Do you like the beach? Do you prefer it sunny or cloudy?

Yup I do! Unfortunately the beaches near where I live are always cloudy and really windy but I prefer it sunny!

48. Who’s someone you can trust with your life?

not to be sappy but my older brother - we fought a lot as kids but our relationship is a lot better now and he's one of my best friends. He'd probably help me hide a body if I asked and vice versa lol

[theredontbedragons]

I ask of you the impossible. Top 5 Black Sails scenes please!

Noooooo I’ve been reverse-UNO’d!!

Okay let’s see.. I’m going in chronological order, because no way am I ranking these:

1. S2E1 - Infiltrating ‘the fucking warship’. “What the FUCK did you think was going to happen?!”

2. S2E5 - Miranda handing Flint his past, followed by *The Kiss* and just utter softness.

3. S3E8 - Calico speech/carriage hi-Jack-ing. “You and I were neck and neck in this race right till the end. But, Jesus, did I make up a lot of ground to catch you.”

4. S3E8 - Madi being a badass telling Silver to get his shit together. “When I speak, my men listen, and they do as I say.” “You can imagine the restraint it took for me not to let my people loose…I will fight this thing rising up in me eager to see more blood spilled today.”

5. S3E10 - Campfire chat. “Would you tell me?” “I wouldn’t be so worried.”

(Plus, you know.. shark hunting, Madi’s ‘chorus of voices’ speech, Max being whip-smart in every step, Anne swimming between ships, Flint reunited with Thomas.. the whole show??)
