well, so I was gonna send #4 mutual(s) you think knows you best and #5 mutual(s) you think you know best anyways, but now I also need to know #10 anything you want to tell @like-the-rest-of-la AND #11 a random thought/memory of @like-the-rest-of-la and also (because I am nothing if not an enabler) #7 tell us what you like about @stagefoureddiediaz (but you DON'T get to say her amazing brain and lovely personality, because duh <3)
(YES, I want all the answers, no you do not get to pick and choose, yes you still have to love me after this 😌)
OH MY GODDDD. SARAHHHHHH.
Okay. Okay, I can do this. [cracks knuckles]
Let's goooo!
4. mutual(s) you think knows you best
There's definitely more than one. I have to go with @ennea, @theyarnmaidstale, @catdadeddie, @hazel-athena, and @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels, probably.
5. mutual(s) you think you know best
Fuckkkk. This is so fucking hard. Omg. 💀 @theyarnmaidstale and maybe @catdadeddie.
10. anything you want to tell @like-the-rest-of-la
Literally every single interaction we have makes me smile, Lisa. You bring so much joy to this site and to my fandom existence, and you don't even know it. And the fact that you went through the trouble of doing ARTWORK for my little podfics leaves me in absolute awe. (There's one you all haven't seen yet. That's why it's plural.)
11. a random thought/memory of @like-the-rest-of-la
Oh man... Well, now I have to let y'all in on the gnn secret.
Once upon a time, Lisa DM'd me this photo...
Tumblr media
The convo promptly spiraled into this...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was all downhill from there... 💀💀💀
7. tell us what you like about @stagefoureddiediaz
Ohhhh! I love how playful she is. I love how quick she is to engage and just have a good time on the dash. Even if that means pretending to be a damn ghost for months on end. It just makes her an absolute joy to have in my life tbh. 🥰
Mutuals ask game. 🌷

Rating every teacher + Miriam in scarlet and violet how well would I enjoy their classes:
-------------
No. 8 - Dendra
Eventho her classes are about pokemon battles/related to battling, I think she's also the PE teacher. I mean look at her.
Eventho I can see her very suportive towards her students, I still would die in them. Don't like PE AT ALL. My experiences with them weren't great so thats why she's last
No. 7 - Tyme
Okay
As sweet and supportive she is, there's now way I would actually enjoy her classes. I like her as a person, but because I suck at math and it gives me anxiety - Nah. Just Nah
Shes a good teacher, but I don't really know when she's gonna explode like she did to Clavell. So sorry Tyme.
No. 6 - Salvatore
Kinda same with Tyme. He's cool and all, but how he sometimes acts... eh don't really like it... I know it's meant as a encouragement and tries to make the classes more fun but sometimes it's kinda... pushy? You know?
He's kinda 50/50
No. 5 - Miriam
Eventho she is the school nurse and don't have a teaching license [yet], I think she could be nice heath-education-teacher-thinggy (don't know the right word)
I think she's nice, but just because I can't have nice things, probably wouldn't like her classes as much I hoped.
No. 4 - Saguaro
He's a fucking chad okay? He's my dad now. Im not really into cooking but would 100% enjoy my time there. He's so adorable and cute! I mean, so MANLY that he wears pink and has some embroidery in his apron. Also uses pokemon he likes and not what everyone expects him to have.
ALSO THE FUCKING SLOPOKE CUP 😭😭😭😭 It's just so damn cute
But yeah, would enjoy his cooking classes
No. 3 - Jacq [almost forgot him]
Man, do I like biology. Is it humans or animals give it to me. Don't really like the history aspect that much but still.
He's kinda clumsy and forgets lots of things. He's also chill too that he rather show us videos than actually teach. Also can see that students tends to lie him about having homework so he always kinda "huh, I thought I did give.... OH well it's not that important" and then Clavell hears that and stares at him and the Jacq's like "oh shit"
Yeah, he cool
No. 2 - Raifort
HISTORY, LET'S GOOOO!!! Give it to me!!
Love history. So cool and interesting to learn about the past. I want to study history and become historian too so heck yeahh!!
I can see her being strict but wouldn't probably mind that. She's cool
No. 1 - Hassel
Do I really need to explain?
This man right here. Love him.
So yeah. Im the art kid so anything related to art and crafts is really nice! Don't really like all the mediums but learning new things is cool.
Hassle can be strict too but in a good way. He definitely would give all his students the best grades, but he really can't do that.
I guess usually with art, the teachers don't actually rate the atrwork itself, rather the techniques and how well you used them in the said artwork. And also how you behave in the classes maybe can affect the grade too.
So thats why you may not have given the best grades but idk. Im not a teacher and don't really want to.
BONUS ROUND!!
I know Clavell is the director, so he'll mostly do paperwork than teach, but it would be fun If he did!
When I was in school, the principal taught something sometimes. It usually was kinda easy and quick so they could have time to do the paperworks and staff.
Idk what Clavell would teach, but hell yeah, his classes would be fun. Would enjoy my time there!

Hiya Miya! How about adoration, be mine, hugs, love letter, smitten and valentine for you and Armin?
Thank you sm for the ask Hedone!! <33 adoration — how would your f/o speak about you to someone else?
Armin always speaks pretty highly about the people he cares about when they're not around, it makes me really flustered honestly! It's a weird sorta niche love language for me, knowing he praises me and my efforts to others. He likes to mention my artwork and writing to others a LOT, according to him, he just wants people to know how creative I am. I appreciate him greatly <3 be mine — how would they react to you flirting with them, do they get flustered? flirt back? Oh boy HERE WE GOOOO, so canonically me and Armin when growing up both had hardcore crushes on each other for many years but never said anything, had no clue, right? But as of a few months ago, I was made aware that I apparently accidentally flirt like, all the time. So, only god knows how much of that went to Armin. When I'm actively trying though? One of three things happens, or maybe all three depending on the day. Either he gets flustered, compliments the flirting attempt, or flirts back (In Armin font this is just complimenting me really hard and trying to get me to laugh/smile, he's really charming 😭😭) hugs — are you and f/o affectionate / open about your relationship in public? A normal amount I'd say! We hold hands, cheek kisses here and there, sometimes I just need a hug no matter where I am so that might happen. We refrain from anything deemed socially/publicly too intense. Plus we'd rather save that for home/in private! love letters — are they good at expressing how they feel? what’s their best way of letting you know they love you? Armin over the years has sort of mastered every love language there is really! He always wants to make sure I know that he loves me. He shows that in a lot of ways, helping me with tasks I can't accomplish, encouraging me when I need it, spending time with me and listening to whatever I have to say. But most importantly, he'll simply just say it, usually in one of his longer Armin-monologues that he gets into when I'm not feeling good about myself and I need to know that he does love me. smitten — was it easy for the people around you and f/o to figure out you liked each other? did they get involved in you getting together at all? Oh, oh boy. So, everyone say thank you to Mikasa because she pulled ALL of the weight here. Eren was beyond clueless for a very long time and felt incredibly stupid when he realized. At some point the entire 104th knew besides us, but even then we still didn't say anything until the retaking of wall Maria, literally took us both nearly dying to get it out 😭 I will say, Jean had a special role in all this. I don't bother explaining this on my list but, in each of my canons if I end up with Armin, Jean is QP, if I end up with Jean, Armin is QP. It's a lovely balance I don't get in other things I ship in because that's how Jean and I's dynamic was before I realized I also loved him romantically! I also sometimes polyship with them both, which is fun! Anyways there's a point in all of this, Jean in my "Armin route" encouraged it the day of confession, if he didn't we probably STILL wouldn't have gone for it. Mikasa fought the battle but Jean won the war, truly. valentine — gush about your valentine! ^^ You got it boss! I love how cozy and comfortable Armin is, not only just to me but in general. I love cuddling with him while he reads, just curling up in his blanket and getting to take a cat nap. I also love it when he talks about work, I just really like hearing his mind work so fast as he's speaking, he's so intelligent and can be so passionate, it's so charming! He's my very amazing, compassionate, accommodating and doting husband that I'd do anything for!

Oh hi there! Fancy seeing you here!
So, fun idea...
Farmers market! Season? Whatever you like!
What does Levi buy and want and what does he avoid?
What does Jean buy and want and what does he avoid?
Helloooooo <3
Market season! My favorite! Funny, there's something else like this in my ask box, so I'll get to talk about it more hehe YAY!
For me in hot Florida weather there is in fact market season, I won't go in summer. For this however I would not be living in such a humid place haha
Alright, Levi and I are ready to goooo! We do a once around the entire market to see which of our favorite vendors are there, and go early so we can hopefully beat the crowd. We bring a small 2 wheel cart with us too, to put our stuff in :)
Fresh produce is a must! Apples, pears and oranges are always on the list the first time out. I go for the cut pineapple but Levi won't let me and gets a whole one and says he'll cut it up! We get a rainbow of bell peppers cause green is my favorite but he likes yellow and orange. They're good for stuffing and in salads! Tomatoes, cucumber, and butternut squash! He'll cut that too!
He tries to keep me from the dried fruit but I find it anyway. He says it's too sugary (he's right) but I do grabbed dried pears and stick with seeds and nuts. Somehow dried beets end up in our cart too? Hmm.
We do allow ourselves to get some bread too. Either a loaf or a dozen rolls depending on what we want that week. We don't get too many baked goods since we can make them, but sometimes if one of us is hungry we'll get a fruit pastry to hold us over. Otherwise we skip most of the ready to eat foods so we don't waste what we bought.
We look around at other things but don't need much so though we like things, try not to overspend. Sometimes we'll get a new plant for the garden. We like flowers and herbs and replenish some of the easier produce we try to grow.
Skips otherwise are things like dried pastas and cheeses. We don't do much of those. Unfortunately lots of the crafts too. They're very nice but we don't usually need them?
We did by a handcrafted cutting board last season though, it's holding up nice, so at some point we'll see what they're selling this year.
Then there's Jean. He gets ALL the fruit! And some veggies. He's not too picky but loves mushrooms (whereas I do not, which is fine). He's always buying lemons, zucchini and ginger for dishes. One thing he is not a fan of is eggplant.
I also see us having a garden, just with mainly produce and way less flowers. We generally skip the succulents area, unless he buys me flowers :)
He's different here because he does like snacking on dried fruit, or making his own trail mix, and sometimes overspends on it. Pineapple, mango, cashews, etc. But it's only once in a while so it's okay. Annnnd yes to the dried pasta. Also, honey!
He's always buying hats too?! Straw hats, he must have twenty, but he swears this one is different from the last one. He skips things like artwork though unless we're looking for a gift.
Well, there's more I could include HAHA but I think that'll give the general idea!

okay it’s time for some stardew valley headcanons for the bachelor/ette(s) so let’s GOOOO
Alex:
- he always awakes before his grandparents, and on warmer days he’ll go down to the beach to watch the sunrise.
- friends with elliot! the two of them sit on the side of the dock sometimes and just chat about life.
- knows how to make cookies, as evelyn taught him when he was a bit younger
- wary of the saloon, as he doesn’t really like the smell of alcohol and only goes into it if he’s forced to!
- if you marry him, he can and will pick you up randomly to surprise you while you’re working!
- if married, he will “bench press” your kids once they become toddlers, and it always makes them giggle
- hates the winter and gets cold really easily. on the first day of fall he’s already bundled up wanting it to be summer again.
Elliot:
- willy is like a father to him. the two of them sit on the docks and watch the fish swim by together
- sometimes he’ll braid his hair, and leah will bring flowers from the forest and weave them into his hair.
- has a rlly pretty singing voice, and likes to record piano covers in his spare time
- if you marry him and the two of u have kids, he’ll always braid their hair in the morning and tuck flowers behind their ears.
- he brings home fresh fish he caught and makes himself dinner every night. that’s why he’s an excellent cook.
- has actually caught a legendary fish before!
- his eyes change color, they can go from blue to green to brown in the same day. people call them the “prismatic shard of eyes”
Harvey:
- he’s so clumsy that sometimes he’ll even trip over air. due to this, he has little bruises all over his knees and elbows.
- his favorite animals are birds. sometimes he’ll go outside and just give them some bird seed. he loves watching them fly around.
- not only is he fascinated with planes, but he’s also fascinated with the weather. as a kid he used to watch the weather channel, and he dreamed of becoming a weatherman.
- when he needs to focus really hard, he’ll pull his hair back with a headband
- him and his mother were and still are very close, and he writes letters to her at least once a week
- he cannot cook to save his life, but he’s an incredible baker! will make you little treats if you’re friends or married
- he always wears a wristwatch, but the time is always 6 minutes behind. he likes it because it has a plane engraved into the side against his wrist.
Sam:
- he had adhd, and his stims include flapping his hands, tapping his foot and strumming his guitar
- he has a beautiful singing voice, think like wilbur soot but a bit more high pitched?
- the reason he likes cactus fruit so much is because he just plants them and lets them grow. he loves succulents because they don’t give him an allergic reaction!
- cannot play video games for shit. sebastian and abigail have banned him from multi-player games because he just sucks so bad.
- love language is acts of service, simply because he likes singing for people he cares about and doing little things for them!
- if you marry him, he will bring his guitar into the coop and/or barn and sing to the animals. they have learned to run over a greet him, since they love his singing.
- his hair is actually curly, but you’re unable to tell due to how much he gels and straightens his hair.
- has mastered the art of the puppy dog eyes
Sebastian:
- loves the hell out of halloween, but is scared of literally everything. he nearly cried watching a horror movie with sam and abigail.
- really good with a slingshot! so if he were to go into the mines, he would wreck some monsters shit with his slingshot skills
- he had glow in the dark stars on his ceiling, but removed them. he used to love the stars and space, but came to resent them because it was his sisters thing.
- he like…irl blushes. like an anime character. when he’s embarrassed, upset, flustered, his face will go all pink. everyone picks on him for it.
- has/had a crush on most of the towns singles. he is a bisexual disaster and secretly a romantic so….take from that what you will.
- a natural born ginger, but dyes his hair. he also has freckles on his nose! and he has an eyebrow slit because of a scar!!
- for some stupid reason, he takes really good care of his hands? like he always makes sure they don’t get calloused, and his nails are always painted black, despite using his hands all the time for work.
Shane:
- he cannot cook. he burned pasta noodles because he didn’t know you had to put water in the pan.
- he still has a chicken plushie from when he was a baby, and it still sits on his bed. and if he cuddles with it at night? no one needs to know.
- has a huge birthmark on his side shaped like a heart
- really good at mixology, so i think that when joja gets shut down, shane works at the saloon and makes the drinks while gus cooks. he adds a whole new section on the menu!
- friends with sebastian. they paint each other’s nails from time to time, or sit in the rain together and just talk.
- kinda strong as hell? he lifts boxes in joja for work, as well as carrying around jas, so i’m assuming he could just….pick the farmer and his friends up?
- he has the most contagious laugh, it used to be a rare sound, but now that it’s a pretty common occurrence, shane makes people laugh all the time with his own laugh.
Abigail:
- buff. she is buff as hell. her and alex work out together sometimes, since she expressed a desire for adventure. she has picked up sam and sebastian with no warning and thrown them into the ocean
- can talk to animals due to her being the daughter of the wizard! so sometimes she’ll go to marnies farm and just chat with the cows or something
- if she sees a tree, she WILL climb it. she loves it so much, it’s just so adrenaline inducing for her.
- her and sebastian tried to go into the mines before but sam stopped them because it wouldn’t have been very safe. they were all 14.
- trying to learn to play the ukulele with a little help from sam. it’s frustrating, but she really likes the sound of it, and she’s determined as hell.
- absolutely cracked at any and all video games he plays. mario kart? she will kick your ass. animal crossing? her island has 5 stars. pokémon? she always wins. you can’t stop her, she’s too powerful.
- she has glasses, but prefers contacts, since glasses would get in the way of her adventuring.
Emily:
- not only can she sew, but she also makes her own soaps and candles! any form of creation she adores.
- loves flowers, and has a lot of little potted ones in her room. she raises them, gives them little names and personalities, and then brings them to sandy and tells her all about each flower
- she can roller skate, and it’s her preferred method of transportation. she can do a bunch of fun tricks as well!
- has an eyebrow slit
- making cute little baskets of homemade gifts is her favorite thing to do for her friends. sometimes she’ll just leave them on their doorsteps for no reason other than she wants to!
- can SPRINT in heels. like even 6 inch heels she can just RUN and it scares everyone who sees it.
- she loves the sounds of birds chirping in the morning, and she’s able to identify the name of the bird by its chirping and calls
Haley:
- is able to perfectly crack and drink from coconuts. that’s why she loves them so much.
- has the worst sense of direction. she’s lucky she lives in a small town, or she’d get lost all the time
- the spring is her favorite time of year, simply because she loves to capture life coming back in those spring months. baby animals, blooming flowers, her friends on the beach or just chilling in the sun, all of it
- her most prized possession is the very first picture her and emily took as kids on their parents polaroid. it’s taped to her mirror
- has a little beauty mark under her lip, but it normally isn’t visible due to being covered with makeup!
- she’s able to do her own nails! this is because she is ambidextrous, yet she doesn’t know, because it’s never been brought up
- she fucking LOVES learning about and identifying plants, trees and flowers. she knows so many it’s crazy. she has a great memory.
Leah:
- resident true crime enthusiast and ghost hunter. she drags elliot with her around town to go hunting for ghosts. they also watch documentaries together!
- has a bunch of little scars on her hands from her artwork
- to get inspiration for works, she’ll go on walks at different times of the day, different seasons, different routes, and she’ll turn each walk into a work of art. depending on all the environment and those who she runs into, each piece is vastly different.
- animals love her, and will sometimes just follow her around for no reason. she doesn’t mind at all, she kinda loves it.
- friends with emily. they are currently teaching each other their own forms of art, since they love learning from each other!
- really good at dancing, she’ll dance while she’s working on projects and she’ll hum a song to herself
- her favorite statue was created after she went on a walk, ran into abigail, and the two of them went swimming in the ocean and stayed there as the sun set and the stars came out. she has a little crush on abigail.
Maru:
- her hair is ALWAYS tied up, it’s impossible for her to work if her hair is in her eyes
- when she was a kid she wanted to be an astronaut, because she loves the stars, but she found she prefers the science and math behind it all
- she pierced her own ears, she has little star earrings!
- watches cartoons and geeks out about them with penny when they meet up in town!
- for some odd reason, she is terrified of butterflies. no one who knows her, or even maru herself have ANY idea why, but she will run away if she sees one.
- her favorite memory was the one night her and sebastian stayed up really late as kids and snuck outside to look at the stars (back when sebastian still loved them) and they ended up seeing a meteor shower
- she presses flowers as a hobby, and just keeps them in a little notebook alongside her ideas for projects and gadgets.
Penny:
- while she’s cleaning her and pam’s home, she finds herself singing to herself. she has yet to be caught by anyone
- each day, her hair is done ever-so-slightly different. each morning, she likes to change it up, and sometimes jas or vincent will give her something to put in her hair
- also interested in ghosts, will occasionally join elliot and leah on their adventures
- she is naturally really warm, so she doesn’t have to bundle up as much during the winter. the kids cling to her because she’s like a human space heater
- has a bit of a geeky side, and she loves to watch cartoons a lot. when she can find the time, she always watches them. they being her lots of comfort.
- has a small scar on her side from when she tripped over as a child onto something sharp. she likes it because with two freckles, it makes a little smiley face
- loves the water and the feeling of sea wind in her hair. she secretly wants to learn to drive a boat, so she can feel that wind in her hair whenever she wants.

So my copy of "Through the Mirror, in the Day" came in recently (along with my signed copy of SLS reprint 2 LET'S GOOOO) and I want to gush about some of the little details about it!
Tumblr media
Number one is that, rather than reading from right to left... It opens like a western book, and reads from left to right! Since it's a "mirror" I thought this was such a neat touch?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Number two is that the writing on the back? Is backwards, but with a little photo magic, we can mirror it and read what it says. In a similar vein, the white stripes are meant to look like the light reflections on a mirror as well! And, we can also see the mirrored Nod that appears during the event.
The inside contains explanations for all the puzzles and is basically a walkthrough for solving the little event, but there are some little doodles and even full color images of both Nod when it's Mikuni's birthday, and Nod as it normally appears with Mikuni and Tsurugi inside. The entire event and all the different dialogues you can get from clicking on items is written out inside to read at your leisure. It's very lovely! And, of course, it makes for a wonderful display piece thanks to Strike's beautiful artwork on the front~
We still don’t know what the spring we receive from completing the event is for… Maybe it’s a missing piece from whatever Jeje’s Item would be used on? Like a music box, or a wind up doll…
How very sad it would be if Mikuni gave Jeje something that belonged to a precious gift from his mother. I could see him do it, too, if only for one reason. Every time he sees it, he’ll remember. What happened that night, his own hatred, his anger, the fear that drove him… No matter how badly he might want it to be so, he is NOT Alice living in a dream. He will not wake up, snug and warm in one of the foyers, golden lamplight and the solid weight of his mother between himself and Misono while she calmly embroiders and sings softly to herself. This is his own reality, a waking nightmare wrought by his own hands, because the alternative would have been worse.
In my opinion, this event… is a manifestation of not only Mikuni’s own guilt and desires, but also Jeje. How much they both wish that the days are still long, that autumn is still far away, and that the warm, soft twilight of safety, caught between the deadly rays of the sun and the cool, reaching shadows of the estate, still creates a safe haven for playtime and excitement buzzing among the children who live there, echoing up to them through a cracked window along with the chirping of crickets.
But that kind of scene… It’s only a dream.

Here We Go Again…
Tumblr media
Oh Rico, not again.
Well, welcome back everyone. Today, we’ll be stepping down another path of misery and suffering and—alright, I’m not that melodramatic. God, give me some credit. The topic, or rather controversy, I’ve chosen for today has to do with a celebrity—shocker—but unlike my past stories, this is someone I like. Or rather, liked; at this point, I’m on the fence. Frankly, they’re someone I didn’t expect such a thing from—and yet I’m entirely unsurprised, for the most part. The person in question is Rico Nasty. Rico Nasty, for those unfamiliar, is an American rapper known for songs such as “Smack a *****” and “Tia Tamera,” her collaboration with Doja Cat. Now, while I respect her as a musician, I still think it’s fair to acknowledge that this isn’t her first controversy. Though, after enough scandals, one would assume she’d know how to handle her issues in a more… mature manner by now. Though, such is not the case. Which is unfortunate, especially when it comes to her being ultimately in the wrong, but still steadfast in her belief that she’s right. Which is applicable for a lot of celebrities—heck, even just normal people—but c’mon. Alright, but before we get ahead of ourselves here, let me fill you in on what happened.
It all started with a piece of artwork posted online back in December. The art was of two original characters by Twitter user @/nameisboytoy, with the caption “teen romance.” Though, it was posted at the end of last year, it wasn’t until a few days ago that the artwork was brought into controversy.
Tumblr media
You see, Rico claims that she saw the drawing online, and took a screenshot of it. She then proceeded to post the artwork onto her Instagram story, showcasing it to her two million followers. The kicker? She didn’t include the artist’s name in the story and/or where to find them. Rude, right? Well, the artist then took to Twitter to tweet a screenshot of Rico’s story with the caption “no credit let’s goooo <3.” People then started calling out Rico for not giving proper credit—or any credit, frankly—to the artist, despite her calling out other creatives in the past for not crediting her for their style. Now, this is the point where you’d expect Rico to… y’know… apologize? Maybe state how she’s in the wrong for disrespecting another creator, or even just repost the story with proper credit this time? But no, why would she do that? Instead of taking the responsible approach, Rico proceeded to go back on Instagram, posting two new stories with a few… choice words. Here’s a few quotes from the video to sum it up:
“So if you see something that you like on Twitter and you screenshot it, you’re supposed to post the artist?”
“If I see something and I f***ing liked it, then I’m gonna repost it. I don’t have to tag anybody—this is ridiculous.”
“How many of y’all post pictures of me and not tag me? Remake pictures of me and don’t tag me? Like y’all need to… shut the **** up”
“…you taking it to heart like, ‘D*mn, no credit?’ Like, girl here’s your credit. Here’s your 15 minutes of fame. The picture was cute, you’re a great artist—“
“—but you’re a sh*tty f***ing person.”
Wow… does tagging someone really bring her that much misery? Is simply leaving the artist’s username in the screenshot similar to a death sentence for her or something? I can’t imagine telling someone that they’re an awful person for a mistake you made. It’s ridiculous. Not mention, her bringing up fan-edits and fanart of her as if that’s somehow equivalent? She isn’t some underground musician that needs the exposure. And besides, most people that do make fan content of her tag her in it. So it confuses me as to why she would compare the two, claiming that her own fans are invading her privacy. Don’t think I forgot about the “15 minutes of fame” comment either. How could Rico, someone with a large following who worked their way to that point, say that to someone trying to do the same? They’re not using her name for fame, or attempting to defame her for their own gain. The artist was wronged and rightfully responded it, not even in a hateful or disrespectful way. But I guess in her mind they should have just… been grateful she saw it? While gaining nothing from it? It’s a very strange mindset, but I guess that’s what entitlement gets you.
UPDATE: Oh wow, she finally gave credit to the artist—three days after the fact. Seems kinda pointless now, especially after berating the artist in front of all her fans, but better late than never? I guess. Eh, hopefully, she’ll learn from this experience—but it’s likely she won’t. Oh well.

RANDOM HEADCANONS GO
HERE WE GOOOO
mario (origami king)
- is fiercely protective of olivia thanks to her being a little sister with a rogue big brother and his own big bro instincts kicking in
- at first, when he stepped on a magic circle and his thousand fold arms appeared, he thought he had found another curse like in ttyd
- he’s a great hugger! many of the toads he rescued get overwhelmed with joy and just give him a hug and he ALWAYS delivers.
- he takes his coffee with a bit of mushrooms that he always brings from home
- he still has his royalty pass to shogun studios and wants to take luigi and the princess there one day (he also thinks jr might like it)
luigi (origami king):
- is doing SO WELL for himself
- for some reason i imagine him constantly accidentally running into the legion of stationery before mario and they just. have a nice civil conversation bc he isn’t directly in their way
olivia:
- kinda wants to get to know the legion of stationery... they were made by her brother, after all
- mario is a father figure for her (and luigi is her cool uncle)
- sometimes falls asleep in marios pocket bc it’s so comfy in there
- was planning to go back home with the origami craftsman once olly was defeated
olly:
- when he first began making his own origami, it was very sloppy
- he practiced for about a week, trying to get every fold perfect just for olivia
- he misses her deeply and it makes him very sad, but his ego gets in his way of realizing that
- he says he has no favourite members of the legion of stationery, but he has a soft spot for stapler
- he really adores colored pencils’ artwork
colored pencils:
- from overlook tower, he has a view of the other streamers and when he saw how ‘basic’ his streamer area was he was FUMING
- he actually tried to physically move his streamer to somewhere more exciting but it would break if he continued so he let it be
- wants to dabble in paint
rubber band:
- those blue rubber bands were specifically chosen by him to match the streamer
- she never forced birdo to be in the show, they just happened to cross paths on the way to the park and hit it off quite well
- bit more of a pride headcanon but rubber band is bigender and uses he/she!
- rubber band’s paper machos have way more personality than any other paper machos- she trained them herself (and yes, they do autographs!)
- the true plot of the plays that rubber band was so mad about is that mario was supposed to be defeated only for rubber band, the REAL hero, to swoop in gracefully (it was all very elaborate. there was a zipline involved)
hole punch:
- loves company! unfortunately he’s a legion of stationery member so when toads don’t want to dance with a giant scary hole punch, guess what? they do now
- actually not that rude about music opinions! he’ll trash a lot of things but he’ll never trash you for liking them
- tried to hole punch a snifit or two on his way down to the temple of shrooms but he found they have absolutely zero sense of rhythm
- his demeanour is a mix between a disco lover and a b list horror movie monster and he’s well aware of this
tape:
- actually went out of his way to go talk to the other members of the legion of stationery! he’s the one who views them the most as a group
- him and scissors get along thanks to tricks that are usually taboo and wanting to keep things clean (plus their streamers are by far the closest, so tape sometimes sneaks off to see scissors)
- this is why tapes involvement in the chapter is very little, because he’s off chatting with the other members most of the time
- is that slacking off? no! course not! don’t be stupid!
scissors and scissors’ creations:
- like stapler is olly’s dog, handaconda is scissors’ pet!
- handaconda has a tendency to go scissors when it plays rock paper scissors because its thinking about its owner
- scissors thinks that the cutout warriors and handaconda are SOOOO CUTE and everyone is super weirded out by them
- i imagine her as like, somewhat of a chuunibyou? or at least, a very overexaggerated caricature of a dark anime swordsman
- her ‘i will sheath my blade so we may become equals’ and sheer excitement of cutting things up often clash, because she wants to seem serious but the thought of getting to unleash her blades gets her literally bouncing
- is not a dog person
- likes ollys idea for an origami world bc origami is so much more exciting to slice in two than paper
stapler:
- likes scratches in just the right spot. nobody except olly knows where this spot is
- constantly mistakes colored pencils’ missiles for chew toys

Soulmate AU- Yang Jeongin
A/N: This probably isn’t my best writing but it is a really cute read for Jeongin <3
Word Count: 2130
It was no mistake this time. At first, Jeongin assumed maybe it was the boys messing with him, writing on his hand when he fell asleep and claiming not to minutes later. It was always a mystery to him, how beautifully drawn objects would magically appear on his arm. After noticing it a few times however, Jeongin seemed to mind it less. That was until he got caught for it. 
“What is this?? On your arm?” Jeongin’s makeup artist asked, holding his hand up to reveal the small designs printed across it. 
“Oh! Nothing..” Jeongin smiled nervously, slowly pulling his hand away from the makeup artist’s grip before she could explain, “We’re going to have to wash this off Jeongin, you’re wearing short-sleeve” 
Jeongin rolled his eyes, of course his soulmate had to draw on their hand right at this moment. The lady practically dragged Jeongin to the nearest sink, lounging his arm in the water and scrubbing as hard as she could. “What is this?! Sharpie??” 
“Umm.. I’m not sure” Jeongin muttered, making the lady groan. “We’re going to have to make you wear something long-sleeved.” As much as Jeongin hated wearing long-sleeves during a concert, he knew it was what he had to do. He had only been in Seoul City for a week but the drawings on his arms were getting bolder- more prominent. Little did he know that was where his soulmate lived. 
----
A loud shriek came from your sister’s room. God, it took you by surprise, causing you to jump in your seat and make a mistake on your new mural. 
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN’T GO??!!” Your sister exclaimed on her phone, “We planned this for so long..” A few seconds later you hear your sister barging into your room, you quickly throw a sheet over your art. Cursing yourself you thought about the paint which still wasn’t dry, either way you already messed up because of your sister. 
“Hey, you have to go to the Stray Kids concert with me, my friend just cancelled”
You nearly choked on your spit, how could she ask you to go to a concert that was going to begin in a few hours? 
“Um no? I have artwork to do” You replied, shoo-ing her out of your room and slamming the door just for her to open it again.
“Does it look like I care? Quit talking about your dream of making art and come with me. It’ll be fun!” She said, giving her fakest smile before leaving the room. 
“God, I seriously can’t-” You took a deep breath to calm yourself down before getting ready and leaving for the concert.
----
On your way to the concert, you looked out the window to admire the view. A pen inside the cup holder had you writing things on your hand, one thing stood out to Jeongin when he saw it appear on his as well. 
SKZ
“S-stray kids?!” Jeongin gasped to himself before putting his hands behind his back. 
“What are you looking at?” Hyunjin asked with a smile as he approached the boy. “Nothing!” Jeongin giggled before continuing his exercises. 
---
You had to admit, even though you had never listened to Stray Kids, the adrenaline that ran through you during the concert lasted the whole two hours and was still with you as you got ready for the Hi-Touch. 
“So basically, all you do is give them a high five! Pretty cool right!” Your sister exclaimed.
“You paid $200 to give them a high five?” 
Your sister rolled your eyes, leaning closer to you before whispering, “So here is my plan, when I see Chan- one of my favorite members- I’m going to try to interlace my fingers!!” She squealed as your face turned into a look of disgust.
“God you’re obsessed” You muttered before security could place you in line. 
Waiting in line, you couldn’t help but to feel a tingle from your arm. God, was it an allergic reaction? Maybe the ink from your sister’s pen wasn’t vibing with your skin. You looked at the small roses and flowers that adorned your skin, the ink suddenly blackening, darkening in color. You could feel each line piercing through your skin the closer you got. 
With a small smile you approached the boys, your heart beating out of your chest. “Hi!” You exclaimed as the boys greeted you. One by one, the members' faces came and went until one locked with yours. A shocked expression.
Your eyes met Jeongin’s before it could interfere with the contact of your palms, his long sleeve shirt peeking down just enough for you to see a small flower that mirrored the flower on your right hand. 
Jeongin stared at the flowers on your skin as well. Was this it? Was he your soulmate?
“Hey! Stop holding back the line!” The voice took you by surprise, unlatching your hand from Jeongin’s and turning to see your sister being pulled by security as she tried to hold onto Bang Chan’s hand. 
“I WON’T LET GOOOO” Your sister cried before you could pull her away, apologizing to the boys and leading her outside of the venue. 
“Are you insane?!” You scolded her, “Go to the restroom and clean your face, this concert had you crying buckets” 
Your sister nodded in response, the sound of a few sniffles heard before she could go to the restroom. 
----
When hi-touch is over, Jeongin quickly rushes to the dressing room. He doesn’t hesitate to pass the staff and members, shutting the door behind him as he looks around. How could he get your attention? You were his soulmate, the one making all these drawings on his arms, on his body. He adored your art, especially the one on his inner thigh, a simply smiley face that made him laugh every time he saw it. But was it a two way route? Could he possibly draw something on his arm and have it appear on yours as well? It was worth the shot. 
Taking a pen from Hyunjin’s bag, Jeongin quickly scribbed Stay, don’t go on his arm- hoping that you would receive his message. 
----
In the car you find yourself watching outside as the city starts to build up with lights. The view is beautiful, breathtaking as you take out a pen and draw and your bare skin that wasn’t inked.. until you find out that it is. 
The words Stay, don’t go mark behind your wrist, grabbing your attention as you get out of the car. 
“Where are you going?” Your sister asks before you could leave. 
“I’ll be back” You simply reply. Getting a phone call from her friend, your sister dismisses you as you find yourself running back to the venue from the words on your hand. 
----
Maybe it was a waste of time. You’d been here for what felt like hours, looking for a sign or some sort of message to tell you that you weren’t crazy. To tell you that the boy from that band did have your drawings on his arm. To tell you that the words written on your hand were written by him.
Your fingers line the drawings on your skin, wondering how soulmates link to mirror such drawings. Just how lucky you were to have found yours. 
“You’re my soulmate” You heard. Looking up in front of you was Jeongin, standing proud in a purple tee and sweats. 
Getting up from the floor, you faced him, eyeing his drawings that looked just like yours. “I am..?” you whispered before he could pull you into a hug. 
“Jeongin what-” 
“Shh..” He whispered, holding you closer against him. “I always wondered who was behind these drawings, always something different everyday, I love them” 
“You love them?” You replied, grabbing his hand with a light grasp. “How can you love them?” 
“What do you mean? They’re amazing y/n, I feel almost honored to have your art on me…” 
You smiled at his words. Keeping your talent of art from your disappointed parents, always being told that art was a waste of time from your sister, and now finally here you were- being told by your soulmate that he loved your art.
“Don’t tell me that’s the first time you’ve heard that,” Jeongin said before taking his hand in yours. “Can you show me what else you’ve done?”
----
You and Jeongin sat down on a blanket in the middle of your room as you showcased all your works to him, pulling out each sheet to reveal your works that he continuously praised. He was by far impressed, and even though you two had known each other for less than a day it felt like you had known him for your entire life. 
“So.. the drawing of a dog that you drew on your leg a few years back was your dog?!” Jeongin asked as he eyed the pictures of your family and friends on the wall. 
“Yeah!! And remember the women I drew on hand, that was Julia Roberts” You giggled, watching as he gasped in shock. “No wonder I recognized that face!” 
When Jeongin paced around your room, he noticed the painting from earlier, covered with a green sheet. “What’s this?!” 
“Oh don’t look at-” You said before he could pull the sheet over. It was your incomplete work from before the concert, the one you spilled paint all over when your sister forced you to go to the concert.
“Why not?” Jeongin said, crossing his arms and touching the wet paint. 
“Because… it’s not finished and it’s really bad” Jeongin frowned, dipping his finger in the paint before swiping some on your face. 
“Hey!!” You chuckled, getting some paint on your hands and rubbing it on his cheek. Before you two knew it, you were a laughing mess- throwing bits of paint and taking brushes to paint each other. Your room was a mess but you didn’t even care at this point, you hadn’t felt this happy this much in a long time and you would do anything to live in this moment forever. 
Soon enough, Jeongin was drawing on your face with red paint, the two of you on the floor giggling from the adrenaline. 
“Your art isn’t bad y/n, I’m going to make sure the rest of the world can see it” 
“What?” You said, keeping eye contact with him as he closed you against the wooden floor. You could almost hear his heart beating against your chest, his breath fanning against your lips. You two were getting closer and closer by the second and you just wanted to hold him forever. 
“Your art is beautiful y/n, just like you” He smiled before pressing a kiss on your lips. 
You blushed at the sudden action, realizing your eyes had fluttered shut and your arms had wrapped around his neck.
As you leaned closer for another kiss, you heard the sound of your front door opening, quickly alarming your senses. “Oh my god, that’s my sister!”
“Your sister?” Jeongin asked, watching as you opened your room window. 
“Jeongin you have to get out” 
“What?! Through the window??”
“My sister is a huge fan of Stray Kids, remember how she was holding that one boy during hi-touch? If she sees you she’ll literally freak.”
“Alright, alright” Jeongin said, walking towards the window. 
“We’ll meet again y/n” He said, placing a kiss on your lips before crawling out the window. 
“Bye Jeongin” You pouted, closing the window before you sister could open the door. 
“Oh my god, what is this mess?” 
----
After dinner, you plop onto your bed, smiling at your artwork that you had unveiled in your room. Remembering how happy Jeongin was when he saw them, you wondered if you should put them out for the public to see. His reaction made you feel more confident, despite what your family had to say about it. You knew at heard that you carried a talent, and now you knew you had a soulmate as well. 
Pulling the covers over your head, you grab a pen from your nightstand and draw Jeongin’s name with a heart around it on your hand. 
The ink tracing on his hand took him by surprise, the members crowding his hotel room as he sat on his bed, getting ready to rest for the day. The night itself was overwhelming, but Jeongin was happy to have met the girl of his dreams and he’s glad he didn’t miss out on kissing you. 
Putting his phone to the side, Jeongin noticed the small message on his hand, a small smile creeping on his face as he grabbed the hotel provided pen and wrote your name with a heart by it.

Complicated- creativitwins
Digging up old drafts baby here we goooo.
The father in this story doesn't have a name so you can imagine it as anyone you'd like/ as simply a stranger. Happy reading.
Trigger/ squick warning: father figures, complicated relationship with parental figures, mention of screaming, child services mention (in like...one sentence) mention of crying, mention of animal death (bunnies) mention of homophobia. <- if I missed any let me know.
Edit: I did not check spelling. We die like men
-
Pappa had always been with them.
When they were three and just formed their first memories they might remember in distant futures when all was quiet and nothing was holding them back from reminisent, they would remember about the time they’d gotten two big stuffed bears bigger than themselves When Papa had still been alone and Dad hadn’t been with them yet.
They would remember the soft fur in their little hands as they cuddled close to the things when it was naptime.
Pappa was always there for them
When Roman was five and he woke up from a nightmare where a squirrel was chasing him around the playground pappa was there to wrap his long arms around him and tell him that he was safe and that he would get his squirrel catching gear out of the supply closet the man they had started calling Dad had built for them, first thing in the morning.
When Remus faked being sick the first day of school because a kid in his class had laughed at the white streak in his hair he'd had since birth pappa had come and picked him up, explaining that poliosis is nothing to be ashamed of and laughing warmly as his son tried to pronouns the word.
-
Pappa would always protect them.
When Roman first talked about his pappa and dad in school the teacher had looked like she'd eaten something nasty. Later on Roman was moved to the same class as his brother, his own teacher saying she didn't want to be associated with his kind.
When Pappa came to pick him up that day Roman asked what that ment. And for one of the first times in his life he'd seen pappa frown.
They baked a cake to celebrate them being the same class that evening and Pappa and dad lifted the two of them high up in the air and twirled them around while cheerful music played.
When Remus got told off by a teacher for the first time because he had pushed another kid in his class he had to sit in the corner for ten minutes.
When he was allowed to go back to his spot Roman thanked him for protecting him and Remus threw the paper ball that had been thrown at him right back.
When Pappa came to pick him up he and the teacher had a long talk and they left quickly afterwards. Pappa holding both his and Roman's hands in his own big one's and telling them about how they had done the right thing.
-
Pappa would always comfort them.
When Roman came back home with scrapped knees and an attitude Pappa had asked him what had happened.
Roman hadn't answered and his brother had later told their dad's that he had seen Roman getting pushed around by some older kids. The had been yelling a word he didn't know the meaning of. When he had told it to pappa he had looked angry. And told his boys that those kids were mean and to never use that word because it made fun of good people.
When Remus began to get more friends his pappa asked him to include Roman in all of their games.
His brother had trouble connecting to people and was quickly becoming the bullied kid. And while Remus would gladly take any bullets for him he couldn't protect him at all times.
And while Remus played star wars with his friends, running around the playground and pretending to know the characters, Roman sat and drew in the little notebook pappa had given him for school.
And Remus bought him a new one with his own pocket money when a mean kid threw it in the lake nearby when they went there to explore with the class around the time that eggs would magically appear in their garden and they pretended like it was a bunny putting them there.
Pappa would always be with them.
When they went to highschool and Remus his friends could no longer play starwars with him because one moved away, one said she’d never liked him and two others went to the same school but suddenly forgot about their being friends, he sat with his brother more often.
And when Roman got friends that he wasn’t sure he liked but hung around anyways because it was better than sitting alone, Remus was left sitting at a table at lunch, other kids coming to sit at the same one in the hopes he would get up and leave.
When he had refused to do just that they’d began whispering about him pretending he didn’t hear them. And when he acted like he didn’t hear they had began calling him mean things.
After two months at the new school they came home and both called for their Pappa with shaky voices too quiet to bare any sort of good news.
And when Remus showed off his bruised wrist he’d gotten when a kid had grabbed him harshly and Roman told him about how his friends hadn’t been friends but bullies in a trenchcoat and a mustache to make him think they were friends before telling him he was too weird to hang around, Pappa had brought them both into his arms. Whispering something like ‘oh my poor, brave boys,’ before holding them a bit tighter and then telling them that sometimes, the world was mean like that and that, sometimes, it takes a while before you find the right people.
And when they went to bed that night they laid in the room and stared at the same ceiling. Both pretending they couldn’t hear Pappa arguing with Dad in the hallway.
Both pretending they weren’t crying silently until they fell asleep to Dad accusing Pappa of being a vile and horrible human being.
Pappa didn’t have all the answers.
They learnt that when they were on their second year of highschool and both of their pet bunnies died in the same night. 
Roman had sniffled and stood near the gardendoor as he watched them dig a deep hole all the way at the back of their garden. 
Remus decided that he would be sad about this at night when nobody would see or worry and stood close by Pappa as he put the two bunnies in a shoebox and put it in the hole. Saying they had probably died because of the rat poision Dad had spread across the lawn and that the mice must’ve gotten into their food somehow.
They learnt this when Dad and him had sat them down after breakfast that had strawberries to tell them that sometimes love died and that weddingrings would rust and be put in two seperate homes in two seperate boxes that would never be opened again.
They learnt this the fifth time that Remus came home with bruises and Roman began to listen to darker music and emote less dramatically. Unlearning all the expressions he’d picked up from those animated childrens series they weren’t allowed to watch but watched them anyways. He faked having imagined a happy place when the woman that was supposed to help them through the divorce told him to invision one. Instead invisioning Remus, and how he should have punched the guy that had made him drop his books the moment he saw it happening.
Pappa was  a human being.
They realised this more clearly than ever when he’d found out why Remus only wore long sleeves and got sent to therapy after their Pappa had hysterically cried over it and begged his son not to leave them before he could grow old.
When Roman stared at the ceiling after he’d taken 14 paracetamol and googling how many it would take to leave them before he could grow old, only to find that he would probably be fine and go to school the next day feeling as empty as usual. Pappa had yelled at him when he had gotten back to be more careful and not get invloved with his brothers troubles after he’d shown off the scratched shoulder from where he’d been thrown against a fence when he'd tried to stand up for him.
And when Remus got diagnosed with dyslexia and Roman with depression they said nothing. Roman shaking his head when the doctor suggested therapy and Remus sitting quietly as they explained that he might have adhd aswell.
Their father wasn't perfect.
They learnt this when Remus came back from school with a black eye and a failed math test and the test was all that was focused on. Shouting not unlike the one they'd heard all those years ago when love began to die and rings began to rust booming through the house and piercing through the music Roman was listening to in his room. A bottle cap with water falling off his desk and the little growing plant in it falling with it.
They learnt this when Roman said he was asexual aromantic and their father said that he should consider therapy again because surely that couldn't be normal.
And when Roman told him that maybe they weren't normal he'd been send to his room. Doors slamming shut and noises too loud for Remus to process.
-
Their father was wrong sometimes.
They realised this when Remus first brought a friend home and jokes about countries the kid wasn't from were made around the otherwise uncomfortably quiet dinner table. And when religion was brought up in a house full of atheists Remus stood and took his friend's hand, saying that they'd eat something at a foodtruck and storming of, leaving Roman to feed little stripes of unseasoned meat to the cat.
-
Their father was bad sometimes.
They learned this when the both of them started college and the racist microagressions turned into jokes about how they'd never make it since they were both going to art schools.
And when Remus showed him his homemade costume he huffed and said it looked great in a tone that Implied anything but. And when Roman showed him the finished piece he'd worked months on he said it looked nice even if it had mistakes while pointing at every single one of them while his son, hands still stained with markers and pencil smudges, gave a watery smile and the artwork was put in a art map to never be looked at again.
Their father wasn't good for them.
They realised this. Finally realised this, when Remus was twenty and had decided to move out, getting a small apartment would have been to expensive had his brother not eagerly asked him if he could come with him.
And they told their father while their bags were already packed and the rent was already payed.
And their neighbours registered a noise complained and whispered about calling childservices when their father started another screaming match to tell them how much he didn't want them to leave and how they wouldn't make it.
And they painted the walls mint green while Roman painted a mural around the spot where their couch would be.
And they ate lukewarm noodles from the plastic canisters while sat on the empty apartment floor.
And Roman bought a dozen succulents to take care of and make it feel more like home.
And the wall was always covered in outfit designs and storyboards as the jar they had put the sticker 'for a couch' on slowly filled up.
And they still send him Christmas cards but didn't plan on visiting that house for a long long time.
And their father would have killed them for the mess they made of the apartment sometimes.
And they preferred it that way.

This is both an extremely specific vent and goes out to all the kids with complicated relationships with their parents.
You're allowed to not like your caretakers. You're allowed to not want contact with them after you've moved on. You're allowed to think how they treated you was unjust because it probably was.

Aite let's goooo 1, 6 (pics?), 10, 12 (fave picture or artwork?), 15, 28, 31, 38, 41, 90 :D
1) When you have cereal, do you have more milk than cereal or more cereal than milk?
A: More cereal than milk so you get a spectrum of crunch
6) Do you keep plants?
A: Not personally, but my sister has a yucca and we’ve got some cacti and living herbs in the kitchen. We’ve also got a bunch of stuff in the garden if that counts: Strawberries, swiss chard, rosemary, a bunch of ivy and native flowers, as well as a prince of wales bush, a rose bush, and some jasminolia (amongst other bits and bobs). Also I want to grow some saffron in the summer so that’ll be fun! If you want pics of any of them lmk :D
10) Do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach?
A: Side but if my back is particularly fucked I’ll try sleeping on my back though I always end up on my side anyway.
12) What’s your favorite planet?
A: I had to choose one now because I’ve never done so before. Probably Saturn? I’m a big slut for planets with rings, I mean look at this.
Tumblr media
 Also its got some cool moons!
15) Go google a weird space fact and tell us what it is
A) Triton (one of Neptune’s moons) orbits backwards for some reason and is the only known large moon to do so.
28) Sunrise or sunset?
A) Sunset. Sunrise is too early but I’m sure they’re very nice as well.
31) Think of it: have you ever been truly scared?
A) I mean I scare pretty easily so it depends on what you mean by truly scared. The story that springs to mind is when I was walking back home from school with a friend. And the friend stops dead in his tracks, grabs my arm and goes “Woah, woah, woah, theres a tiger there!” or something to that effect. I look over into a driveway and see an orange and black striped mass on the ground so I fucking book it. I’m talking full Usain Bolting it down the street. Cut to my friend laughing hysterically because it was a stuffed tiger toy lol
38) Tell us about your pet peeves!
A: Chewing with your mouth open and the sound of someone sucking their finger after eating finger food
41) What’s the last book you remember really, really loving?
A: I mean the depressing answer is I don’t remember, haven’t read any outstanding books recently. The Burning White drew me in a lot and I can’t remember being that glued to a book for a long time, but I had a lot of issues with how it ended and certain threads coming together that didn’t quite work. A Storm of Swords was just a bullet train of great storytelling but that was maybe 5 years ago now?
90) Talk about your one of you favourite cities.
A: Ehhhhh the boring answer is that I don’t think I have one? Košice was great though so I’ll go with that. It had really cool historical things to look at (cathedrals, coat of arms, etc), the food was very cheap and really good (I had the best crepes of my life there), and it was well connected to other parts of Slovakia which made potential hiking trips and visits to nearby castles fairly accessible. Just a great city to stay, eat, and explore, would highly recommend!
Thanks for sending the ask and I hope the answers were satisfying/interesting :D
