fav color scheme? fav comfort movie? fav song that describes u?

umm i rlly love red n blue ! n also blue n yellow.. n green n red (evem tho it's kinda christmassy but nothing wromg a that !) but actually.. basically primary colours together !! my fav comfort movie is honestly probs but im a cheerleader , or also i rlly love heathers !! um idk any song that describes me tbh.. bUt my fav song atm tho is um possibly Maybe i know by lesley gore

go event thoughts so far

tbh i think its prolly my least favorite xmas event just bc of how... un christmassy it is (regarding that i prolly liked the first 2, maybe 3, for that). like i know the joke ha ha karna is a dense guy whos just too cool for school ha ha funny joke but like. idk his outfit seems really generic when compared to the other santas. like it doesnt have to be a short dress/outfit (the first 4 santas, suzuka) or even have to have a red color scheme (arcade helena, both goth santas), and like nightingale has this classy long gown that looks awesome, but all of them have way more of a santa theme and its way more likeable imo. esp since this game is like constantly fanservice for him

i dont rlly care much abt the story but its another case it seems of handsome guys doing handsome guy things and pretty lady doing pretty lady things and idk. after how shit some of the events were this year id appreciate more a fun christmassy story and this isnt that.

tho tbh i also get vibes of that this event is also trying to be the same as the quetz one. like i get why theyre denying its existence, it wasnt rlly that remarkable and the copyright stuff is really scummy on go’s side of things, but if the copyright was that bad they shouldntve done it in the first place imo, much less do a revamp of it but with a focus on “op sexy man being sexy op haha”

idk one good thing is its a good way for me to save quartz (since ash and sigurd arent in the banner lol) bc nemos next banner will destroy me (probably)

christmassy asks: carols

carols: name one christmas tradition that you find cool or unique to your culture. Hmm in sweden we celebrate this thing called Lucia on December 13th and i don’t rlly know how to explain it but always in school there’s people who do like a lucia train and the sing and it’s kind of a cozy thing and yeah idk how many other countries celebrate this thing. U can probably google and get a better understanding of the whole thing

my dream was one of those dreams where the feeling and the air are more prevalent than anything else.

first i was in C only it didn’t look like C at all, there was a christmas-like homely coldness to everything. i was still boarding but wasn’t at school for any of the dream. at around 6 in the morning i was at a co-op shop thing with A, H and E before school. you came in to a lowered floor, there were some steps of white tiles like the rest of the store and the till was there when you came in with loads of shelves and candies and things around it (it looked a little bit like the 7/11 tae went to in the highlight reels but less blue and more white, and brighter). we were waiting to leave and H or E was looking at a shelf further away. W was at the till smiling like he always does in a cheery charming way and there was a beautiful girl with glowing blue eyes and blond hair and a white cap and uniform that he was speaking to (she worked there too). his shift appeared to be over so he gathered some stuff and passed by me talking abt WS and suddenly said “and you know, there’s an open job position” or something, smirking and looking right at me. i didn’t respond and freaked out a little inside (thinking oh god i need to get that job, is it full-time bc if so i can’t do it, do they need years of experience, do they need someone who knows loads abt books and who has time to read, do i need to speak to MR... and does he want me to have the job or is he just saying that bc he knows i would want to work there and how does he know.... ahhhhhh). he was going to his job at WS after his morning shift at the co-op, i knew that bc i knew him. then we paid and left i suppose. at some point that i wasn’t present for in the dream him and i agreed to meet for a coffee sort of date thing? i suppose? at 6 bc that was the time he had his change from the co-op place to WS. so there i was at the ass crack of dawn, the image of main E present in my mind as i thought abt the time i had left to get back to skl in time for registration. for some reason i wasn’t nervous abt the “date” thing bc we were just meeting as a practical friends sort of thing, like “let’s talk abt books” or some similar intention. like when i went on a walk w J. we both wanted to go for a walk and we knew e/o so we went.

idk why but we didn’t meet or i don’t rmb meeting but i wasn’t upset (one of those dream things) so i was walking thru town, stressed, with a bag that held sth important, an umbrella, a coat and sweater, and a feeling that ppl were staring at me. i didn’t have enough time to get back and i couldn’t walk fast bc my stuff was weighing me down and i couldn’t figure out an efficient way to carry it all, despite the amount of times i stopped and rearranged it. i think that was my anxiety abt skl and time and things creeping in on the dream. 

there were also a bunch of small dream sections where i just visited WS by myself to browse and we had banter although i don’t rlly rmb those. WS instead of being on the ground floor, you entered it through some outside steps that went down below street level and then from there inside you could go upstairs. it was cosy and warm.

another day (or maybe just later the same day) i was walking along w L from town bk to house. it was sunny and green. on the way back from town right after a big square w a fountain in it there was a lane that passed by a large mossy wall on the left with a pond/lake/river? and on the other side there were tall trees so you felt like you were walking under a wide green tunnel. there were ppl on the grass by the water (university ppl it felt like) and as we passed the little stone wall next to the river L or sb else showed me a video on their phone of W sitting there w his guitar singing a song w a beautiful voice and i groaned loudly and sulked all the way bk to house.

in between i had a strange dream abt travelling with a dad, a maid and his small daughter through a wasteland where loads of diseased zombie ppl were lying around w raw skin and blood everywhere (what the hell) and we had to hop from rock to rock and not touch the blood or the zombie ppl AT ALL and it was quite serious and scary. then we were in a woodsy part like that scene at the end of the 2nd lord of the rings movie where gollum hides from sam and some ppl a way away arrived in a helicopter to take us away and the dad didn’t want them to so he made us all crouch in the pine needles w his daughter held closely to his chest and he was yelling at us to stay quiet. but the other ppl found us anyway, they were friendly and french i think, and there was a boy with us who didn’t want to speak french but the large tall man w a white beard laughed and they escorted us away.

in another part i was on the beach. it was cloudy but warm and probably around 4 in the afternoon and nobody else but my friends were there. i was in the shallow water on my belly and elbows, facing the sand slope right by the water’s edge where the others were chatting on towels. S and J were there (haven’t seen her since she left in 5s). they came over and made light-hearted fun abt me for some reason i can’t rmb, then S was putting long golden earrings in my ears. i was wearing a faded, strawberry-colored one-piece bathing suit and i looked good. i played them a folk album by a girl w blond hair who i’d seen in a dark green garden in somewhere like oxford w big stone buildings and cobbled streets and vines. her songs were 3 seconds long and were interconnected and they were about rabbit holes and things like that. J and S didn’t rlly care.

then i was back in C where it was still christmassy and i went into WS where there were a bunch of kids and he was there behind the till and he was smiling at me and we’d had some sort of conversation and i felt sad but he was just smiling. i said something like “because i want to still see you” or “see you again” and he just smiled and seemed to agree that this was a good idea. i don’t rmb anything else.

in the dream i was a pink-nosed sad girl w mildly curly and thick hair, i was myself but a little different and sadder and weaker, and i wore a turtleneck and scarves and coats and my hair was ruffled all the time.

(just bc i couldn’t fit this into the running commentary w/o ruining the cold, christmas-like homely feeling: i wish i could stop dreaming abt him. he appears all the time in my dreams and it’s horrible, it makes me feel rlly stupid.)
