ok listen

listen

this is like the first formal serious ask i have on my mAIN blog so yea... im totally not freaking out 

okay !! so, let’s do this-

log cabin : what’s the first video i saw on jack’s channel ?if i remember right, i think i watched sister location first, mainly because of anti’s appearances. i’ve always loved seeing creators interacting the way sean does with his community, so when i learned about this ‘antisepticeye’ i was like WOAh, give me more pls. i began watching the lore and boom ! here we are !

beard : what topic could i spend hours talking about ?anything related to sean, really. mostly, about his pma movement and how proud i am of him. i could also spend ages talking about his egos and creating stories and what-not, though it’s been really hard for me to find some good friends in the community ^^’

eviebot : what’s the last thing that made me laugh ?i just watched his last 50/50 video and i have to give robin a very big applause for his amazing editing skills. as much as i love jack and his videos, they wouldn’t be the same wihtout robin. 

irish slang : what’s my favorite word ?any word that starts with ‘wh’, actually. they are so good to listen to, and absolutely love how people give those words different pronunciations. the way sean speaks them, it’s just delightful. im a sucker for accents and im guilty for that. 

college : if i could build a themed hotel, what would it look like ?being an artist, i owuld make a hotel themed on that, allowing artists to design one room by themselves. be it artists from the community or from my country, i just want a hotel where people can make things by themselves, almost like an interactive hotel. that would be awesome, no kidding. 

headphones : if someone could narrate my life, who would they be ?fuck, this is hard... i have a lot of idols and people i look up to, and a lot of them have beautiful voices. i would be delighted if jack narrated my life, i really am in love with his accent. if not, i would have pj or dodie narrate it. they also have beautiful voices.

screw you billy ! : what are my least favorite videos ?no kidding, i think it’s the fortnite ones. i’m just not one to enjoy shooting games. it’s both stressful and annoying to me. and yeah... that’s why i also didn’t watch the prop hunt ones... shame on me, i know.

sleep is for the weak ! : what am i doing when i can’t fall alseep ?i usually put on my headphones and play some nice music. i have a lot of playlists and choose between those. i get to listen to omam, billie eilish, dodie, some indie here, some spanish music there, maybe some lofi. it depends on my mood.

shadow of the colossus : what are my top 5 videogames ?i’d have to choose the last guardian, beyond two souls, infamous : second son, undertale and maybe heavy rain ? idk, but the first four are definintely up there.

reading your comments : what values are msot important to me ?definitely respect and honesty, to begin with. i’d rather have people telling me hurtful things at my face rather than behind my back. it’s both insufferable and it also can drive me to anxiety attacks. i’ve had it happen. i also appreciate a lot patience. i am someone who takes her time for most things, and if i can make others be patient with me, that woudl be a great achievement for me.

cunt mug : how many mugs do i own ?mine, i have like two, and both are very pretty, one a blue-ish colored one and another one with sketched hearts on it. they are both lovely- and big. and for my coffee bean, i need big mugs. 

ryan reynolds : if i could hang out with three people, who would they be ?jack is definitely up there. i’ve been so close to see him- and it jsut didn’t happen. so for me to get to spend a day with him, it owuld be incredible. i would also want to spend the day with misha collins, i admire him a lot as well, and just love his positivism. and i think i would also want to hang out with anyone part of the community. it owuld be so cool to have friends to talk with that have the same interests as i do. so yea !

marvin’s mask : is there a trick i’d like to learn ?oh, yes ! a lot ! i woudl love to learn to make wicked fluffy cakes and the technique, and also some card tricks. i’ve tried those as well, but have achieved very little. i would also thrive for mixology. yea, ya girl wants to know how to prepare drinks !

and

mable’s sweater :  how woudl i describe my clothing style ?definitely relaxed. my day to day consists on a poncho or a hoodie, boots and some jeans, a very loose braid or a high, very badly made bun, with bags under my eyes and pimples in my face. now, for the weekends, i’d definitely try to dress a bit nicer, with flowy and loose shirts, make-up (i love makeup), jeans, maybe some heels... hell, it can vary.

DAMn those were a lot of questions. but thank you so much for askin ;w; it really made my day !!

A religious amusement park

I let myself sleep in my first morning in Kyoto and when I woke up I had a ton of messages from Dave (my friend in London catsitting Jack), that one of his front fang teeth that we noticed had a big cavity back in June had broken off. My initial reaction was "ouch!" and I was so sorry for my baby. Luckily Dave noticed it pretty quickly and the vet I used to take him to in London was able to do the surgery the next day -- he did well through the surgery though is still quite groggy and recovering. Poor kitty. I was so sorry I wasn't there to give him a big hug. Looking for a distraction, I set off to see Kyoto. My hotel had a free coffee and tea bar that is open all day and, to my delight, they also had iced coffee so I made a cup and headed off in search of breakfast. They have a ton of great restaurants at Kyoto Station so I went to a great little cafe and had yogurt and fruit. Ok, I'll admit it... on the side I thought I was ordering a small pancake, but it happened to be a sort of soufle pancake which was an awesome mistake to make and ended up being a delicious breakfast dessert. (Though I did feel a bit of judgment from the Japanese waiters.) After breakfast I set off in search for a supermarket to get some healthier options for the next few days to keep in my room and happily found fruit, yogurt and these sweet red bean pastries I have fallen in love with. Yum. When I finally left the hotel again to explore I only had time for one temple (of the close to 10 I "must see" in Kyoto) so I headed to Kiyomizu Temple. I was a little nervous as I heard it was "quite a hike" to get up there, especially since the summer heat was brutally in the 90s, but my SF expectations saved me again. It was an uphill walk but there was tons to see on the way and even a little bit of shade! As I climbed up the hill more and more of the temple grounds unfolded, first beautiful bright red gate houses and then the huge wooden temple. Everywhere I looked there were Japanese people in traditional dress - both the women AND men! And they didn't stop with kimonos, they went all the way by getting their hair done in elaborate, braided updos, carrying basket purses and wearing wooden sandals that click-clacked along the stone walkways. In the heat I was in no way enviable of their outfits, but I did appreciate them as part of a historical backdrop in my experience. The formal temple is under renovation, so there wasn't much to see there, but the rest almost felt like a religious amusement park with attractions for the whole family. FIrst, I stopped at Otowa-no-taki which is a little waterfall. There was a long line of people lined up to use the long bamboo sticks to get a sip, as it's supposed to insure health and longevity. While I waited for my turn I laughed as I saw multiple people downing cupfulls, as if they had just walked 10 miles in a desert. When it was my turn, I took a healthy drink (pun intended)! Next was the lover's stone. There were 2 stones about 18 meters apart from each other and it is said that if you can walk with your eyes closed from one to the other then you will have a love wish come true. Even though I was by myself and there was a bit of a crowd of people I decided to give it a go - though moving slowly. I made it from one end, past the second stone without running into anyone or stepping off a ledge, but missed the second rock by a foot or so -- good thing I also forgot at the beginning to make a wish! The final attraction on my visit was the unlabled Tainai. My tour app didn't tell me what awaited me, so I simply took my shoes off, paid the Y100 suggested donation and headed downstairs into the darkness. (Side note: One of the joys of traveling alone is that you only have yourself to blame, especially if you get lost or end up in a terrible situation. Thankfully, this was not either of those, but wandering into unknown darkness does make me happy I was not responsible for another.) I have never been anyware so incredibly pitch black, but I followed the wooden beads (and the backpack of the man in front of me) and finally found the illuminated stone. I made my wish and turned the stone. It was hard to leave such a fun place, but I did not want to be disrespectfully late to my tea ceremony, so I headed out. This was Ashley's recommended "must do," and I must admit it was a pretty cool place. First we had a little lesson in the tea and traditions. A very sweet (and often giggling) woman explained that there are 3 things you must bring and from inside her kimono she pulled out a fan, paper and small wooden knife (for picking up sticky treats). Then another woman came out and literally "performed" the tea ceremony. In a traditional sense, making matcha is like a dance; you snap your hankerchief a few times, wait for a certain number of drops after cleansing the bowl and meticulously whip the matcha back and forth. Since I was seated to the right of the host I was the "special guest" and got to drink the first batch. We also learned that there is a prescripted way to pick up the bowl (turn 2x clockwise and then drink, slurp the last bit) and that the beautiful lacquered matcha powder container is left in the middle, so guests can talk about how pretty it is. The bamboo spoon is also left on display and has a name (we "met" Milkyway)! After the tea ceremony I headed to Nishiki Market. Let's just say it smelled kind of like the fish market in Tokyo, had tons of squid and eel on skewers and was full of tourists. I'm not saying everyone would hate it -- just not my cup of tea. I realize that by now most of the temples woudl be closing, so after wandering around downtown for a bit longer, I took the train back to my hotel and decided to take it easy and do some planning. The final cultural experience of my day (because I'm not going to include the curry I had for dinner, as they gave me a fork and spoon) was the onsen. Aside from the daily drink my hotel offers, and the awesome free laundry it has, my favorite feature is the on-site onsen, or Japanese bath house. I got my fisrt experience with onsens the night before my 30th birthday, in Japantown in SF. That was much more of an ordeal, this is kind of like a modern-day bathhouse. I showered, "enjoyed" the salt sauna (as much as one can enjoy 50 degrees C) and then spent a bit of time in the hot tub. While I prefer a massage to a bath house any day, it was a nice way to relax at the end of a day -- that and the wine I had later.
