reblog if you almost drowned when you were six in frigid water

🌚🫐🖇️🌺 for the ask thing!

🌚 a show you’d tell people to stay away from I only have an answer for this because I was trying to think of a comparison for something else and I remembered 13 Reasons Why.

🫐 some place you’d love to visit My best friend from college (who grew up in different parts of the UK) really wants me to visit London, she says it's very me. I also have a friend who lives in Denmark, so maybe just a general UK/Europe trip (I've never been anywhere in Europe).

🖇️ what are your favorite asks to answer I mean, I clearly love talking about myself 😂 and I love answering asks about favorites (songs, books, gifts, colors, anything). but honestly, I haven't yet gotten an ask I haven't loved answering *knocks on head*

🌺 what is the best gift someone has ever given you and why is it so important this is actually one of my favorites to answer too because I'm a gift girlie through and through!! I have many answers to this, but one of my favorite stories is for a book from my favorite undergrad professor. she gives copies of a book to some seniors, but she gave mine to me a year early because i was having a really hard time with the core classes for my minor ending (meaning i'd be finishing my undergrad studies, but wouldn’t see her every week). i was in tears about never seeing her again (we both knew damn well i’d see her again) and even though it was ridiculous, she took me so seriously. she gave me the book and told me she wouldn’t dedicate it until i was actually graduating, which meant we had to see each other again. it meant so much to me that she took me seriously and made an exception for me. (it was also the first time she swore in front of me, and i remember looking up and seeing her eyes and knowing she did that intentionally as a little gesture of "you're special to me" and that meant everything to me)

as a fandom we need to track down the person who made this gif. credit needs to be given. the story needs to be told. how did they find this video. what did the rest of the gifset look like. are they single.

🎧🍋💌🍀

🎧 last song you listened to "Cornelia Street" was playing as I pulled into my parking spot 🥺

🍋 favorite genre to read / watch / write read - the two sections I tend to check first at bookstores are psychology and fiction lmao. most of my favorite books tend to have some variation on the theme of grief and loss. bonus points for chosen family and/or mommy issues watch - i think it's well established that i love cop shows LOL and sitcoms too write - i'm not really a writer, but i think the writing i've done that i find most beautiful are letters or papers/writing that analyzes music (or movies/musicals/stories). if that even makes sense?

💌 why did you start this blog? i was 13 and it was one of the Things to do (it's also very possible tumblr is how i first found a link to the july 18 2004 wicked boot and that's why i have this account 👀)

🍀 what is your comfort show/series and why is it your comfort show? How has it helped you?

I think eventually my answer will include Castle or The Mentalist, but not yet because of the “gets in way too deep” thing.

I think it’s a toss up between Bones, Friends, and Gilmore Girls, but I might go with Gilmore Girls. Of those three, it was the last one I watched (I watched when I was 16/17), but it meant that the height of my obsession coincided with me moving away to college, so it’s really associated with my freshman year of college 💜

🍄⭐️🌺🍀

oooo we're getting deep!! i love these questions.

I'll do a read more since these are longer asks <3

send me an emoji!

🍄 what is something that’s happened in your life that you wish you could go back and change? losing my job a few months ago. it shattered my confidence in what i fear is a very permanent and far-reaching way. associates aren't confident to begin with (they shouldn't be—it's the stage of the career we're in, and most good supervisors say they'd be more concerned by an associate who doesn't have some level of self-doubt), but it's now combined with a fear that i can't trust my supervisor as someone i can ask for help and me questioning every decision i made in the last year. it literally shook me to my core and it makes me so upset because what little confidence i did have was so hard-earned and important, and even though everyone (including my own therapist who is also a supervisor) agrees it was my supervisor and not me, i truly don't know if i'm going to get over this.

⭐️ what is one of your biggest accomplishments? Why is it so important to you? everything about undergrad. i know it's cheesy but it's truly where i became who i am, all because of those people and experiences (particularly getting in/choosing to go, my minor, and my hospitalization/pandemic graduation, as those were the most defining parts).

🌺 what is the best gift someone has ever given you and why is it so important i love talking about gifts so I'm going to name a few hehe sorry

literally every gift you have given me could fall into this category, but the first one that comes to mind is when you sent me those watercolors. it was very much out of nowhere and the way you encourage me to keep practicing art is just so meaningful to me.

the goodbye gifts I got from the last daycare I worked at and my traineeship site for grad school, because both made me feel so loved and understood and I was proud of myself for taking it in.

my favorite undergrad professor gives copies of a book to some seniors, but she gave mine to me a year early because i was having a really hard time with the core classes for my minor ending (meaning i wouldn't see her every week). i was in tears about never seeing her again (we both knew damn well i'd see her again) and she took me so seriously. she gave me the book and told me she wouldn't dedicate it until i was actually graduating, which meant we had to see each other again. it meant so much to me that she took me seriously and made an exception for me.

send me an emoji!

🩷✈️🧚‍♀️🪐 !!

okay first of all your url?? i'm screaming it's so good

🩷 dream job? right now, I'm so tired that my dream is to not have a job. And I'm really, really missing the babies I worked with, so maybe part-time infant/toddler teacher (the dream part being that I'm able to survive on it)

✈️ favorite place you’ve traveled Okinawa and Taiwan were the two most special trips because they're where each of my parents are from, so it was a combination of tourist-y things and family things!

🧚‍♀️ favorite characters of all time If I try to really narrow it down (the pain!), then

Kate Beckett (of course!)

Patrick Jane

Teresa Lisbon

Temperance Brennan (and I just have to mention Lucy Preston, Lorelai Gilmore, Galinda Upland, Elizabeth Vaughan, Jenna Hunterson, Elsa, Hope Van Dyne, Emily Prentiss, Aaron Hotchner, Addison Montgomery, Charlotte King, Lemon Breeland)

🪐 favorite shows / series of all time Castle, the Mentalist, Bones, Timeless, Rizzoli & Isles, Hart of Dixie, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Gilmore Girls, and Criminal Minds are my top 10 🩵

🔐🍌🌝🌚

girl you always see me and i just 😭 💜

🔐 something no one would guess about you oooh you're picking hard ones 💀 i mean i have some really depressing answers but i won't do that to you 😂

oh! that i've never been good at wrapping things! (I've gotten a lot better but based on everything i do, i.e. using literal wax seals and pointed pen and shit, you'd think I'd be good at that)

🍌 what is one talent you wish you had my answer is usually singing/acting/dancing/etc. because I do daydream sometimes about doing musicals and performing and getting to connect with all the artists I love so much in that way.

🌝 a show you would recommend to anyone i recommend Timeless to pretty much everyone, and I think I choose that because the premise is something I would absolutely say "nope" to (I've been a fan of Abigail Spencer since before it started, which is why I watched) but it's one of my all-time faves.

🌚 a show you’d tell people to stay away from I had a thought recently that reminded me of 13 Reasons Why, which is probably why that was the first show I thought of for this question.

send me a "get to know me" emoji!

And

Orange gold pink black

orange - the mutual you'd commit a crime with gold - the mutual you want to flirt with (or already do...) pink - the hot mutual, damn you're just so pretty black - the mutual you want to elope with

I'm disappointed in myself that I don't know what crime we'd commit tbh. the rest are just like... what, are you gay or something?

what color am i to you?

For the colors

Yellow light blue green rose lavender

yellow - the mutual who is just very positive light blue - the mutual who always makes you laugh green - the mutual who you would trust with your life rose - the mutual who you're not very close with, but would love to be lavender - the fun mutual you want to get high/drunk with

the snarky remarks i had for literally every one of these LOL 😂 oops

what color am i to you?

yellow - I'm sorry, what?? light blue - not being okay has its perks i guess green - you absolutely should know better rose - wait, since when are we not close?? (i'm hoping you meant geographically bc otherwise we have some explaining to do) lavender - reminds me of the time someone said they'd watch two musical boots with me if I got high with them and it was the one time I considered doing it, but only for the musicals

This is random but I wish there were more wlw gymnasts and gymnastic fans like me out there

aww hugs to you anon. I understand! I know some NCAA meets will have pride themes so maybe as time goes on more gymnasts/fans will be out/visible <3

Turquoise and Green !!

green - the mutual who you would trust with your life turquoise - the mutual you would be irl friends with

aww absolutely!! but side note please don't trust me with your life hehe (I mean I would try but absolutely fail if we're talking horror movie situations fkdja;f)

what color am i to you?

red and turquoise!!! 🫶🏻

red - the smart mutual who always has intelligent things to say turquoise - the mutual you would be irl friends with

omg thank you for saying that 🥹 i love talking to you!! 💜

what color am i to you?

my toxic trait is begging y’all to send asks right before I go to work for five straight hours
