Hi Gina, Have you seen this article?
No. But thank you. I really love what the author had to say! Usually I highlight a few key comments, but I found myself highlighting almost the entire article.
[…]
And that is all well and good, however there does come a time Harry Styles deserves some respect. We know he wasn’t the first man to ever wear a dress. Still, his appearance on the cover of American Vogue in December 2020 felt like a moment. Yes ok, he has pinched a few styling tips and lyrical flourishes from the great male frontmen of our times (David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Mick Jagger, George Michael, et al). But like Bowie caused a scandal by wearing a Mr Fish dress on his album cover in 1971, Styles does too every time he flaunts another disco coloured, nipple-grazing jumpsuit. At least someone is still trying to push the boundaries.
More than that, though, Styles’ persistent drip feeding of all things “flamboyant” — on the fashion front, credit must go to his longtime stylist Harry Lambert — is exactly the antidote a world in a toxic masculinity choke-hold needs. His own range of unisex nail varnishes? Great. Pictures of him stomping about in little heeled booties and a pearl necklace? It really is delightful to see.
His relationships with queer creatives are a convincing testament to him as a person, too. He launched gender fluid designer Harris Reed’s career when he wore a selection of his blouses on tour in 2018. He did too for S.S.Daley, another queer-centric label, which the singer gave a leg-up to stardom by spotlighting it in his 2020 Golden music video. Taking his support a step further, this month it was announced Styles bought a minority share in the brand.
And on set, the stories that come back are similar. Pat Boguslawski, the movement director best known for his current role at Martin Margiela under John Galliano, worked with Styles on his viral 2020 Beauty Papers cover shoot. Yes, the one where he is naked save for fishnets and loafers.
“He was just incredible,” Boguslawski told me in a recent interview. “It was fascinating to work with someone who is a male but at the same time so open minded and willing to do anything.” First hand testimonies are a good place to start when it comes to reading mega-stars who have their image so tightly controlled (often it’s near impossible to get any sense of true character).
While Styles has not spelled out his queerness in black and white, every plumed, pink ostrich feather coat he normalises makes it a little bit easier for those wanting to express themselves in peace and safety.
It shouldn’t be like that. In fact, it’s sickening. But that’s not Styles’ fault — and by putting it to the forefront of pop culture, he is doing the LGBTQ+ community a solid. To my mind, that is something worth applauding, not tearing down.

ENG Translation: Joker Out appeared today (3.11.2023) on the Headliner.rs, a Serbian digital magazine.
You can find the original text here
ENG TRANSLATION:
The phenomenon Joker Out… In Americana Hall* it was like there was no tomorrow
*in Dom Omladine
For those unaware, if they still exist, Joker Out is a pop-rock band from Ljubljana which gained fame after participating in this year’s Eurovision. Even though they only won 21st place, their career blossomed after the competition and so they became one of the most successful (if not the most successful) acts that participated this year.
They sold out tickets for nearly every concert with incredible speed, with a special emphasis on the former Yugoslavian countries. But, why is that?
First of all, this charming five are a boy band. A real, classic, boy band. We haven’t had such a phenomenon in our area for a long time, the younger generation have almost no experience with something like this. They came onto the scene at the right moment and gave the audience what they needed. And Eurovision came into their career at the perfect time to give them a flying start and to launch them from a quality, alternative Slovenian band straight to the stars.
The older generation loves them for their undeniable quality. When something that stands out from the crowd emerges, in which you can see years of work and which, as the career goes on, records only progress, the older generations stop being so elitist and know how to recognize it.
They partially love them because of nostalgia. With their attitudes and style, they are adorably reminiscent of some bands of the 80s and very easily bring back memories and briefly bring experiences that the generations growing up back then remember with melancholy.
Young people love them… well, is an explanation really necessary? Their concerts are like a party, two hours of euphoria and a total occupation of all the senses. It’s not hard to win over a young audience if you are like them: five charismatic guys who radiate with their existence.
For months, competing for a second of their attention, girls have been screaming over each other in the audience. They know the lyrics by heart, without knowing a word of Slovenian.
Tears of joy are already pouring with the opening lyrics of the first song. Having conquered Novi Sad, these guys arrived in Belgrade on the 2nd of November. The countdown is finally over.
Labyrinth-like lines in front of Dom Omladine hinted at a fight for a place in the first row, and even a few rows back. When the doors finally opened, the fastest secured their desired place, others were defeated and some gave up at the start and chose a place further back, for a more intimate experience.
Colourful outfits, shiny, neon makeup, sequins, pearls, latex, lace and who knows what other details and accessories found themselves in the same place, in the same crowd. So divided, yet perfectly harmonious, it’s clear these people belong where they are. When the members of the band joined their colourful scene on stage, the spectrum was complete.
Entering the stage, right on time, tensely prolonged but so spectacular, they set a standard that won’t be beaten for a long time. Joker Out opened their first concert in Belgrade with the song “Sunny Side of London”.
They introduced themselves as “five Slovenians who are here to sing for you”, but they are, really, much more than that. Bojan’s interactions with the audience, his smiles, looks and irresistible personality caused general hysteria from the very beginning.
With his wit, he held the audience’s attention without stopping and immediately gained their full trust. Although he’s the most mobile, with the role of frontman, he’s far from being the center of attention. It seems this is a band where everything is divided into five equal parts. The audience goes absolutely crazy for each of them.
“Bojan, I am not a baby seal, but can you please adopt me?”, is just one of the endearing banners that could be seen in the audience. Letters, bouquets, and bras flew towards them, almost non-stop.
Delighted that everyone present knew the lyrics and therefore addressed him in fluent Slovenian, Bojan spoke to us in fluent Serbian.
Although the audience was often louder than the speakers, the loudest scream was let out with our “Demons”, while “Katrina” was dedicated to a randomly selected girl in the audience.
There was such a strong collective energy that it would draw in even someone who has never heard even one of their songs. At the advice of the band, everyone hugged someone who needed it right at that moment.
To summarise, why did this phenomenon take over? When you have someone who gives their all to the audience, when they enjoy what they’re doing, everything makes sense. The five of them absolutely deserve every second of their success, there’s no doubt. Today there’s rarely a band that immensely values their fans, on whose stage there’s respect between the members. What they have is earned through sacrifice, work and talent. They’re aware of it and so are their fans.
These tireless, energetic guys gave their insatiable audience an unforgettable encore of five songs. As they themselves say, we danced and loved each other all night (loved them, ourselves, each other, or mutually, whichever happened to whom) and all that - as if there were no tomorrow.
After tonight flower petals, confetti, sequins, lots of sighs and someone’s vocal chords will be cleaned up from the Americana Hall in Dom Omladine, but the spirit of some seemingly normal Slovenian guys will remain within for a long time.
Translation cr: @moonlvster

Hi! Lisa from Blackpink is known for her unique fashion sense. I'd love to hear your take on dissecting her style
Lalisa personal style
Focusing outside of her stage/event outfits and peeking into her more personal taste, I think Lisa’s style is best described as girly streetwear. Lot of sharp lines, classic but modern pieces met with her more playful character, create this combination of feminine, minimalistic and tomboyish look. Think of oversized, sporty pieces combined with either more fitted, cropped ones or softer colours and patterns. She prefers closed/high necklines and puts more focus on accentuating her waist. Jewelry is minimalistic (thin or pearl necklaces, watches), and she likes to add more personality into her outfits by accessorising with different types of hair accessories. Never completely girly and never completely boyish – the outfits are always perfectly balanced, but in a soft, casual way where it looks effortless. She’s also really good at building a silhouette and playing with lines.
Speaking of silhouette, one thing I also noticed about her outfits is that it’s always somehow elongated – whether it’s by clothes (long dresses/skirts/coats/pants), colours (monochromatic outfit combinations) or hairstyle (long sleek hair under the waist/under where the top is cut) helps create the illusion of longer lines and accentuate her lean figure. Some of her go-to pieces – oversized sweatshirts and pants, cropped tops, cut-out pieces, denim, long dresses/skirts, hats, sporty shoes, blazers
colours –neutrals, black, combined with a softer, muted pop of colour. I also noticed she likes to wear a lot of yellow/lime shades
hairstyle – whether it’s her long waves, cute bob, or a braids/ponytail type of hairstyle, it’s always with simple details, sharp but sleek and neat. Like mentioned before, styling with sport caps, cute hats and hair clips. Bold straight-cut bangs are one of her most signature looks as well
makeup – neutral, clean face with tinted lips, soft eyeliner
Lalisa outfit inspiration
minimalistic, feminine, tomboyish, soft, oversized, cropped, contrasting, long lines

Hi guys,
Today we are chatting about a total bargain I spotted from Kiko Milano! This is a brand I haven't really explored much but one of my favourite youtubers SOPH always recommends Kiko products. Since they have a store in Oxford Circus I decided to pop in and they had a sale going on so of course I picked up a couple bits but today we are chatting about my best bargain I found.
Today we are chatting about the beautiful Soft Nude Eyeshadow Palette reduced to £7.99 instead of £15.99. This palette includes pearl, matte and satin finishes to create the perfect soft nude eye look. The second I swatches these shadows you could see how creamy and pigmented these powder shadows are on the skin. I love colour stories like these because you can go from the softest subtle eye look to a deeper toned look using the darker matte shades.
Looking at this colour story it does remind me of the Naked 3 palette from Urban Decay but if we're comparing formulas I would have to say Kiko has a much better formula for this colour story. Even if this palette was full price at £15.99 I would of been more than happy to pay that price because the pigment, design and formulation is so worth it.
The Kiko website says using this palette you can create the following looks:
Pink shades for an elegant, delicate make-up look
Warm shades for an exotic look
Cool shades for a sophisticated, modern look
After purchasing this palette I finally got rid of my rold Naked 3 palette because I haven't worn it in years and I must say that Urban Decay shadow's don't age well compared to other brands where I can use them long after the recommended date. Considering this is my first Kiko palette I am already so impressed and eyeing up more palettes to try on.
As always all products mentioned in my blog post are linked above.
Lots of love
Bella xx

I know its not gonna be a happy ending but sometimes any flavour of asakiku is everything to me 😭 would it be okay if we got some headcannons about evie and Kiku in a future we're they never separated and worked well for each other?
Who says they'll be apart forever hmmmmmmmmmmm?
But lol yes! Hummmm. Fem!England and Japan romance headcanons-modern day edition. Let's go!
He still gifts her pearls - brooches, bracelets, earrings, rings, and necklaces - the whole shebang. In 2020, she received a pearl tiara for when he came over with his Emperor and Empress for the State Visit. Japan has a tradition of gifting their princesses a necklace and tiara when they come of age. They're usually just diamonds with some pearls, which can make them seem plain (can't believe I'm saying that) in comparison to the European traditions of coloured gems (that's a lie, Belgium and Spain are in the same boat). It's a whole thing regarding rank married in versus blood princesses, etc., but typically, the lower rank and married in girls get more naturalistic and less structured designs. I'd like to imagine that she got one like the former Princess Noriko's - such a wonderful shout out to the classic Japanese artwork that everyone in the West knows:
Apologies for the dinky/blurry photo. It's hard to get a hi res shot of this thing.
On the other end of things, and this will pop up in the fic, but she gives him her literature. 1st editions and rare books to add to his library. Kiku has such an interest in writing and literature and poetry, and takes very good care of them.
Initially, she gives him her Victorian novels, but Kiku, off his own initiative, goes further back, having a go at Chaucer and such. He is very good at translating works to and forth between English and Japanese and often gifts books back to her.
I mentioned it in a previous post, but Kiku particularly attaches to the poem Pearl, and England also shows him like the works of Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe, who were two writers and friends in the 14th century. Julian's is considered the oldest piece definitively written by a woman in English, and Margery's is the oldest autobiography in English, let alone one by a woman.
She likes to go on hikes with him, they can walk and walk and walk for miles. She has taken him to the Peak and Lake Districts more times than they can count, not to mention Dartmoor, Exmoor, the South Downs, and the Yorkshire Dales. They both love their gardens, both going to great pains to look after them. They spend a great deal of their time together outside.
And when they get home, like the old married couple they are, she tidies up around the house, he cooks dinner, then they settle down for the night. She knits or crochets whilst watching something like Only Connect or University Challenge, Kiku is absently listening in the background as he plays a video game, and get more questions right then Evie. He is congratulated with a knitted jumper by the end of the night.
They don't have sex that often. Really. Both are kind of lazy partners and are old fogies, they'd rather go to bed and sleep than anything. Eva in particular is clingy, and is prone to biting. It was a fight to get her to remember to not do it above the collar line.
As they both learn post WWII how and when to get involved with governments and politicians and armies and such, they are slowly given more and more freedoms to just be, with no strings attached. It's then, when she's able to let go of a heavy and poisonous burden, and he's free from such a destructive ideology, that they're able to meet in the middle once again, not as England and Japan, but as two very old immortals.
Alfred is able to plug the gap, rather than be dividing force this time. He's not happy about his mom being in a relationship with his best mate (the day he saw those teeth marks it was somehow a larger betrayal than anything Eva or Kiku had done prior), but it's purely in a dude that's my mom territory, rather than a political gripe.

tag nine people you'd like to know better
I. favourite colours: black, blue and silver used to be it, but these days I'm more over shades of green, purple and more colorful stuff in general? I think turquoise is my current favorite.
II. favourite flavours: warm spices! I love cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves. I also really enjoy paprika on the savory side of things, which made living in the Netherlands easier for me, haha.
III. favourite genres: pretty open question here - but I really enjoy sci-fi and fantasy for mostly everything (videogames, movies, books, shows) while my music style is mostly rock-based but with so many crazy pop varieties.
IV. favourite music: my favorite bands are all Japanese (GLAY, LUNA SEA and BUCK-TICK are my top 3, and I'm still processing the loss of Sakurai Atsushi, really). But a look at my Spotify wrapped will tell you that I can listen to mostly everything, particularly if ship-inspired. Some artists I've been listening to a lot lately have been Gabriel o Pensador and Gloria Groove.
V. favourite movies: Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl.
VI. favourite series: Star Trek (TNG and SNW are my favorites!), Doctor Who, Community, Penny Dreadful (the original one with Eva Green), Brooklyn 99, The Good Place.
VII. last song: 'Até Quando?', by Gabriel o Pensador.
VIII. last series: 'The Continental'. Wanted more lore than fighting scenes but it still made me write up an entire verse, haha.
IX. last movie: 'Saltburn' - I watched it with Dawn aka my bestie and we had very similar reactions to it. Very pretty aesthetic-wise, weird (lazy?) choices for plots and often uncomfortable to sit through.
X. currently reading: nothing that is not work-related, I really should pick up this hobby again as I used to.
XI. currently watching: I am currently obsessed over 'Beef' - I started it because of Ali Wong but damn. Daaaaamn. This show is like an incredibly well-directed trainwreck and I'm hooked, not gonna lie.
XII. currently working on: new routines, mostly exercising! I really want to be healthier in this next year.
tagged by: @drippingheart (although the tags did make this post vanish for a while, hehe~)
tagging: instead of tagging nine people I'm just going to pester a few mutuals who have been online lately such as @hisroyalmagnificence . @desiccation . @lnsknndy . @holyguardian . @cybrvce & you!

You’re My Best Friend
Hello my Tumblr Lovelys
Here is the second last part to this story :)
Love Suze xx
15
“The bond between a mother and son lasts a lifetime”
Taron was standing at the breakfast bar and Robyn took three long strides towards him and threw her arms around him to hug him.
“What’s this for?” He asked as she gripped him tight.
“’Cos I can and I love you and I think you need one.”
“I will never refuse a hug.”
“You are such a wonderful man.” Robyn said into his shoulder. “Thank you for your kind words about the media. I know it settled my mam’s mind a little bit.”
“It was the least I could do. I know it still worries my mam.”
Robyn ran her hands in circles around his back. “You mad I gave away your muffins?”
“No cariad, not at all plus there are still four left and we can bake something else tomorrow.”
“Something else?” Robyn asked as she lifted her head from his shoulder.
“Sure.” He grinned. “You have a full recipe book of things and I love baking with you.”
Robyn returned his smile and gave him a little nod. “I am sure we can pick something else tomorrow. Maybe we could make some savoury though. Oh…” She looked at him. “Pizza.”
“Pizza?”
“Yeah. We could do homemade pizza. You have yet to see my pizza oven.”
Taron’s eyes grew with a twinkle. “I love that idea. Dinner?”
Robyn nodded in agreement. “Absolutely. Pizza for dinner tomorrow.” She took her hands from his back and lifted his left arm to check the time on his watch. “K it is just coming up to three and I know we are in no rush. So let’s clean up the baking stuff from the sink, pick a movie to watch, then we can make the rest of our phone calls, figure out something for dinner, run you a bath, give you a shoulder and head massage and then get another good nights sleep.”
“That all sounds perfect but where in that plan do you come in? That all sounds like it is catered for me. You have two days left before you get back to work and now I am here, I will not be letting you go back to work unless I know you are ok.”
Robyn felt her heart flutter as she knew he meant every word he said and it had been such a long time since someone other than her family and friends had spoken to her with such love and care, she felt a little emotional. Stepping into him, she lay her head on his chest, hearing his heart beating and closed her eyes enjoying that beautiful sound. “Well, I was hoping when we watched the movie, I could have that Taron nap.”
“Absolutely.”
“And running a batch not tedious at all. I can easily turn on the taps for the bath and then I was hoping I would get to return the cuddle afterwards and give you your favourite head scratch and that does not take a lot of energy at all and you know I love doing that for you and it relaxes me when I know you are relaxed.”
“You are some women to negotiate with your words and make it sound so easy.”
“But it is easy.” She replied. “And I get to do it all with you Taron and then we have two more days of watching movies and not doing much else.”
Taron sighed happily. “Plans made.” He agreed. “So, washing up?”
“You wash and I dry but I wanna get your wet clothes into the tumble dryer before we start that and maybe if you have anything else that needs a wash, we can pop on for you?”
With a nod and a quick kiss, they walked into the laundry room and while Robyn sorted out the clothes which were on the clothes horse, Taron gathered anything else that he wasn’t wearing which he had brought with him to be washed which really wasn’t a lot. He handed them to Robyn and went back to the bathroom to take her clothes from the laundry basket, bringing them to her. He watched with amusement as she put everything he had given her into the washing machine together, throwing in some yellow pearls in with them before she closed the door.
“So you don’t separate?” He asked amused.
Robyn chuckled. “Nope. It all goes in together.” She added some washing powder and fabric softener into the drawer. “I am not a dark, whites and colour separator. I never was and I never will be.”
“This is my kind of washing.” He laughed.
“Well, it all comes out clean in the end and I have always washed my stuff this way and it has never failed me and you will have some clean and dry clothes for tomorrow.”
“Sounds good to me.” Taron helped her tidy away the clothes horse and grabbed her hand as they walked out of the laundry room. “Robyn…”
“Yup.”
“Do you think we could call my mam before we wash up and get settled with a movie?” He asked her. “I know we said we wanted to keep our bubble but I saw how happy your mam was with our news, I know my mother is going to have the same reaction.”
“Taron, of course! Let’s give her a call plus I promised Mari and Rosie they would be the first to know and I have already broken that promise to them.”
With a smile, Taron agreed. “They are going to be overly excited and I really do believe you are going to be their favourite from now on.” He led her towards the couch as he spoke, taking a seat as he had been when they are with Robyn’s parents.
Robyn sat to his right and shook her head. “Never. You are their big brother who they adore.”
“When Jack finds out he is going to lose his shit.”
Robyn laughed hard. “Here, your friends are going to tell you they were right the whole time. They had us together from New Years Eve.”
Taron lightly laughed. “They did, didn’t they.” He shook his head. “I will take the stick but can you please be with me when we tell them.”
“Wanna make another phone call?” Robyn asked.
“Oh God no.” He pulled his phone from his pocket. “Just my mam, Guy and Mari and Rosie. The others can wait. I need my sassy Robyn there for my friends.” Robyn hugged him from the side, resting her chin on his shoulder as he found his mam’s number and pressed the option for face time. “May as well video call. She knows I am already here with you.”
The phone rang out and Robyn let go of Taron as he let his body drop backwards onto the couch. “Every time.” He groaned.
She joined him sitting back against the couch and took his phone from him. “Let’s try again.”
“Cariad…”
“I am your lucky Irish chicken, remember?”
Taron sighed grumpily as Robyn re-dialled his mam, his sigh louder when his mother picked up on the third ring and greeted the women beside him with a grin.
“Robyn!” Tina had been preparing dinner in the kitchen and it was Rosie who brought her ringing phone into her, her daughter telling she missed the first call from Taron, getting to answer the call the second time around. “Hi there. It’s nice to see you.”
“You too Tina.”
“Let me guess, Taron is there somewhere, probably grumbling because I didn’t answer the phone quicky enough.” It was hard for Robyn to keep her laugh in as his mam made a face at her through a grin and she moved so she could hold the phone with herself and Taron in the screen.
He had been waiting for the laughter but the slight gasp was not what he was expecting and when he looked to his mam and saw her worried face, he was confused until Robyn caught his eye and touched her cheek, Taron then remembering the slight bruises on his face from his run with his Keith yesterday.
“You told me that you did not get injured at the pool.” Tina’s voice was strained.
“Mam…”
“Spill now and I want all the details.” Tina’s face showed her growing worry laced with annoyance as she leaned against the kitchen counter, one arm crossed over her chest.
“This…” Taron gently touched his face. “Did not happen at the pool.”
“Might be the only thing that didn’t happen at the pool.” Tina returned.
“Tina, please don’t be mad at Taron. I know you remember the conversation Taron had with you yesterday about the shit with my ex outside the coffee place. We just didn’t mention that it turned into a physical fight that Keith started because Taron didn’t want to worry you more then you already were. Taron didn’t throw a punch but he got a few to his face and as always when we are together, comes out with a bruise. He is just fine. It looks worse than it really is, the bruising has darkened a little since yesterday but he is ok.”
“Robyn, one day you are going to have to stop standing up for my son.” Tina’s face changed, her tone already softening to Robyn’s defensive speech.
Taron lifted his arm to slip it around Robyn’s shoulders and leaning in, gave her cheek a little kiss. “I don’t think she will ever not stand up for me.”
“Never.”
“Fiery Robyn my favourite.” He chuckled and then turned his attention to his mam on the screen. “I am just fine and that fucker is long gone.”
“Taron!” Tina exclaimed. “Language.”
Robyn laughed at the exchange between mother and son. “Well, he is a fucker and he is definitely gone.”
Tina frowned at Robyn for a moment but then shook her head. “Well good news all around then and I am glad to hear that. So, I really don’t think this is the reason why you called me. Do you both want to fill me in?”
A smile filled Taron face. “Are Mari and Rosie around?” He asked.
“Yeah in the other room.”
“Perfect. Can you give the phone to them please.” Taron saw his mam confused face. “We just wanna talk to them for a second.”
“Well ok. Sure. Give me two to walk you through.” It took Tina ten seconds to walk from the kitchen to the sitting room where Taron and Robyn had set up the tent for her daughters all those months ago, her two girls sitting down watching TV, both in from school, taking advantage of their no homework on a Friday. “Girls, Taron is on the phone looking for you.”
The excited shouts were easily heard and Robyn grinned at Taron, knowing just how loud that squeal was going to get soon.
“Taron!”
As expected, delighted yells came through the phone and Taron’s face lit up as he took the phone from Robyn, giving her a wink. “Hey you two!”
“Taron, I got all the answers right in my test today!”
“I got a new book in the library.”
The girls spoke over each other, Tina walking away as she let her children catch up with each other. She knew they would come and find her after they had finished talking and it meant it gave her some time to continue to get their dinner ready.
Taron let his sisters talk over each other, eventually stopping them with a grin. “Well, I have missed you two, a lot.”
“Me too. When are you coming home?” Rosie asked.
“Once I am finished filming Rosie, I hope to get home for a few days.”
“Just a few days?” Mari asked.
“Well maybe more than a few. I have some time off soon.” The girls faces lit up on hearing that but Taron knew he was about to make their grins grow more. “Look who is here with me.” He moved the screen so Robyn was now in view and as he thought the girls hollered more with glee.
“Robyn!”
“Robyn!”
The joy in their faces made Robyn smile wide and she cuddled a little more into Taron. She had wrapped her left arm around his right, holding his hand and loved watching his smile grow and grow as he spoke with his family. “Hi girls.”
More happy chatter came through and it took both Robyn and Taron a few tries to get them to settle down.
“We have something we would like to tell you.” Taron informed them quickly, not sure how long they would stay a little quiet for.
“What is it?” Mari asked.
“Robyn?” Taron looked to her and nodded to the screen. “You do the honours.”
It was easy to return his light smile and she turned towards the camera. “Ok so remember back at your birthday party Mari, you asked me if Taron and I were boyfriend and girlfriend?”
“I remember asking if you kiss him.”
Robyn chuckled and glanced at Taron who rolled his eyes, looking back to his sisters. “Would you mind if I kissed him?” She asked.
“Well, I guess not.” Mari answered her nose scrunching up. “I mean I know you love him and he loves you and that’s what people do who love each other.”
“So like properly kiss?” Rosie asked, talking over her sister.
“Eww.” Mari rolled her eyes. “Gross.”
“Mari…” Rosie’s tone was a little frustrated.
“So, we are still on the kissing is a gross idea then Mari, yeah?” Robyn chuckled.
“Yes.” Mari replied firmly.
“Ok well what about if friends kiss on the cheek?” Taron asked his sister.
“Well that I am ok with.”
“And what if boyfriend and girlfriends kiss?” Robyn asked inching closer to Taron.
“Yeah, that’s ok too I guess.”
“Robyn…” Rosie’s eye lit up a little. “Are you…”
Robyn didn’t let Rosie finish her question. Instead, she placed her free hand on Taron’s cheek and turned his face towards her, placing one simple kiss on his lips. She caught his eye and saw his pout and grinning, kissed him again. As expected, the squeals came and going for a third kiss, Taron smiled as he heard his sisters babble on the phone.
“Taron!” Mari exclaimed. “Oh no way!”
“Robyn!”
With a last kiss to Taron’s lips Robyn faced the phone screen. “I promised you both, that if Taron and I ever became boyfriend and girlfriend, you two would be the first to know. Well, it happened.” Robyn’s eyes closed as Taron kissed her temple. “We are boyfriend and girlfriend now.”
“Really?” Mari asked her eyes wide.
“Really.” Robyn confirmed.
“And you kiss him now?” She asked.
“Of course they kiss Mari! They are in love!”
“Who is in love?” Tina had heard the giggles and laughter, squeals and shrieks from the kitchen and was desperate to know what on earth her family was hooting about.
“Robyn and Taron.” Rosie answered.
“They are boyfriend and girlfriend now!” Mari said proudly.
Tina looked at her daughters with a look. “What on earth are you talking about.”
“Robyn just told us.” Rosie smiled.
“And they kissed. Three times!” Mari informed her mother, a slight air of disgust in her voice. “And not just cheek kisses, mam. Lip kisses!”
Tina walked around Rosie legs and taking the phone from Mari, sat in-between her daughters, holding the phone so all three could be seen in the frame. Looking back at her were her son and the woman he had loved since she first came to visit them back in November for his birthday and while they were sitting beside close, beside each other as they always did, Tina definitely noticed a difference to the closeness, to the smiles they wore and her mouth dropped a little as she looked at Taron, catching his eye and seeing the smallest nod of confirmation to what her daughter had said. “No…”
“Yes.” Taron answered her.
“Taron?” Tina’s free hand went to her mouth, her smile growing under her fingers. “Really?”
“Really.” Robyn answered.
“Taron!” Tina’s voice was full of excitement, the exact same as how her daughters had been and she stared down the phone. “Oh my goodness!” Tina found it hard to find the words she wanted to say, thinking twice with what she wanted to say when her young daughters were around and just smiled at her son. “Taron, I am absolutely delighted for you, you too Robyn. Just so happy for you both.” She gave Taron a little look. “But you know about time too.”
“Mam…”
Tina laughed at her son. “So how long have you been boyfriend and girlfriend?”
“About twenty-two hours.” Robyn informed Tina.
“And how many kisses have been exchanged?” She questioned with a wink.
“Hmm…” Taron hummed turning his head to quickly kiss Robyn on the side of her lips. “Not enough for my liking.”
Robyn chuckled, laughing more at Mari’s face. “Because I wasn’t expecting Taron, I had some plans made with my friends and my parents which I kinda forgot about and let’s say, there is never going to be a key under my flower pot ever again thanks to your son.”
“Taron…” Tina’s face was grinning.
“We are not expecting another visitor for the weekend.” Taron told his mam matter of factly.
“Well, that sounds like some peace and quiet that you both need. It has been a long time coming.” Tina settled back into the couch beside her daughters. “So how are you both?” She asked. “Robyn, you all ok after you visit to the hospital?”
“I am just fine thank you Tina. I have been taking my tablets and my tiredness is gone and my energy levels are back to where they were which I am so happy about.”
“That’s great Robyn.”
“Thank you again for the lovely bunch of flowers you sent me.”
“You are more than welcome.” Her eyes looked to Taron. “I am normally afraid to ask but seeing as how Robyn is there with you and you have both finally come to your senses, Taron, you ok love?”
He nodded back, moving a little closer to Robyn. “Yeah I am good. Slept like a log last night and I have been speaking with Matthew and everything is ok. No more water work and he is going to send me on the footage to help settle my mind over it all.” He leaned his head more towards Robyn. “A life saver as always. A wonderful ear and voice of reason too.” He added. “And well mam, I am just happy. Really happy.”
“I am so delighted for you Taron.” Tina smiled. “You already know I adore her and how much she cares for you, looks out for and after you and always has no matter what.”
Robyn could feel her cheeks starting to flush as Tina spoke about her. “You know I feel the same way about Taron right?” She said quickly. “He means the world to me.”
“I know Robyn.” Tina beamed at them.
“Robyn when are you coming to see us again?” Mari asked. “I have been practising my tin whistle.”
With a little giggle, Robyn caught Tina’s eye, the look enough to know how well her present to Mari was appreciated. “I am not too sure when I will be back to see you Mari, but I know I will definitely be coming back before the year is out to see you.”
“Aren’t you going to go and stay with Taron now?” Rosie asked.
Robyn shook her head. “No Rosie. Taron will be going back to work on Monday and I am staying here in my home.”
Rosie’s face turned confused. “But you love Taron.”
“Oh I do. Very much so.”
“And you are together.”
“Yes Rosie, we are.” Taron answered.
“Ok then why don’t you want to be together all the time.”
Robyn gave Taron’s hand a little squeeze. “We would love to be together all the time Rosie, but I live here in Ireland and Taron lives in Aber and London and is working in London.” The little girl’s faces were still trying to understand what Robyn was saying.
“Rosie, while we love each other very very much, we do live in different countries.” Taron took his turn to explain it. “It is something we are going to have to learn to work around and how to be together as much as we can. We can visit each other when we can but we will call each other all the time and people who love each other like Robyn and I, can live apart and still be together.”
“But won’t you want to see Robyn all the time?” Mari asked.
“Always but unfortunately, we are going to have to work around our jobs and what we do. It doesn’t mean we don’t love each other any less.” Taron felt his shoulders drop a little. “We will just work extra hard to see each other.”
“And look, we are pros at it now.” Robyn gathered Taron’s hand in her two. “We are going to take it one day at a time. For us we know that we love each other and we will always be there for each other as best we can as we always have been.” She stretched to kiss Taron’s temple gently. “I think that is as much as anyone can ask for.”
“Most definitely.” Tina agreed. “So, what have you planned for the next few days?”
“Not much at all.” Taron told his mam, thankful for the change in subject. It had always been hard to leave Robyn but he knew this time, it was going to be the most difficult goodbye they ever had and he did not want to think about it. “Robyn has promised to bake me something tomorrow.”
Robyn turned her face to him with a grin. “Oh I have, have I?” She chuckled. “Promised?”
“Yup.”
Robyn laughed. “Well I guess baking.”
“And watching TV and not doing much else.” Taron added.
“So no more kissing?” Mari asked with a hopeful face.
The adults laughed at Mari’s question, Tina giving her youngest daughter a little hug with her arm. They continued to talk for another hour, the chat excited and happy on everyone’s part, especially when chat about the possibility of Robyn coming to visit came up.
“As soon as I book a flight, I will tell you.” Robyn told Taron’s family. “I am positive it will happen and Tina just so you know, you may also have my parents for a visit too.” She grinned. “My mother suddenly has a reason to visit Wales now.”
“Lizzie is always welcome.” Tina laughed. “I look forward to the day when we can actually go for a coffee together rather than do it over the phone.”
Robyn shook her head but she was still smiling. She knew well her mother and Taron’s had had many phone calls together since they exchanged numbers. “It is all ahead of us.” Robyn assured them.
They chatted for another few minutes when Tina snuck a look at her watched. “I think maybe we should let you two go. My poor dinner will be ruined.” She grinned to her son in the screen. “We can have a proper catch up another time.”
Taron nodded. “Mam the only people who know are Robyn’s friends and her parents. I am going to call Lyndsay too but for the moment we are just…”
“I won’t breathe a word.” Tina assured him. “But you know well Jack is already very suspicious.”
“Oh I know.” Taron smiled. “I am hoping for some back up when I tell my mates.”
“As in he needs me around to protect him when he does.” Robyn pitched in.
“Robyn’s friends are so very tame compared to mine.” Taron called out as his mother and Robyn laughed.
“I know love. I know.” Tina smiled at him. “This is going to be a wonderful thing for you both and I am just so unbelievably happy for you two. Don’t forget to call your mother over the next few days Taron. Distractions are very likely but I would like a chat.”
“Of course.”
“Before you leave Robyn’s please.” Tina added with a wink, causing a light blush to fill her son’s cheeks. “If you can.”
“Sure mam.”
Saying goodbye took another ten minutes and once the phone call ended, Taron placed the phone on the coffee table and sunk back into the couch, stretching his legs out, sighing. He closed his eyes and another sigh filled his lungs.
“I love them.” Robyn said as she changed her position on the couch, kneeling beside Taron. His hair had fallen past his eyebrows and she brushed it back, her fingers raking right through the soft strands a few times. “I cannot wait to see your friend’s reaction.”
Taron’s head turned to her. “I am going to be roasted alive.”
“Nah.” Robyn softly smiled at him. “Teased yes and am I prepared for the numerous sexual innuendos, definitely and am I going to sass them back, absolutely but I also know they are all going to be happy for you.” She gave his head a pat, his lips lifting in a smile at her little playfulness. “But we don’t have to worry about any of that right now.” She looked over his head to the sink. “How about we forget about the dishes for time being and why don’t you get comfy in your corner, pick and movie and I will be right back.”
“Avoiding grown up stuff?” He asked with a grin.
“Yes.” Robyn replied giving his hair a ruffle. “We can do it later on.”
Taron left his hair as it was waiting for Robyn to fix it for him but instead she got up off the couch. “Where you going?”
“Bathroom. I need to pee.” Robyn chuckled.
“Oh right ok.”
Robyn stood up and stepped over his legs. “Nothing scary right?” She asked as she walked around the couch, placing her hands on his shoulders.
“Nothing scary.” He confirmed. “Though, scary means you cuddle close into me.”
Robyn gave his shoulders a rub. “I promise that is going to happen. Actually, I can pretty much guarantee it.”
He closed his eyes and his smile grew as she left with a kiss to his head, raking her fingers through his hair to take it out of his eyes. His heart was beating with a bliss he never knew he could feel and warmth flowed through him which just made him feel like he was floating on a cloud. The look on his mam’s face was magical and he knew he was in for a grilling when he got talking to her by himself but he could tell by her smile and eyes that she was so thrilled for him and Robyn, the same way that her parents were. They had so much to look forward to together, so many new adventures to take together and he was so excited for it all. His head turned as Robyn walked out of the bedroom.
“Did you even move an inch?” She asked with a grin.
“Nope.”
“So I can have the corner?”
Taron quickly jumped across the couch, landing on his stomach, his head in the corner, his legs up on the cushions. “My corner.” His voice was muffled as his face was buried in the soft grey material.
“You do realise you have just opened yourself up to be jumped on, right?” Robyn chuckled and without giving Taron a chance to reply, jogged around the edge of the couch and carefully launched herself onto him, covering his whole body with hers, Taron laughing deeply as Robyn lay on top of him.
“Cariad!” He chuckled as Robyn slid her arms around his to mimic how he was lying on the couch.
“What?” She asked him. “My couch got a new cushion and I wanted to try it out.” Lifting her hands, Robyn started to run her fingers up and down his sides, feeling his body jiggle under her as she tickled him lightly.
“Robyn!” His laughter turned deeper and he wriggled trying to avoid her hands as she moved from his waist to his shoulders but she had him pinned. Had they been on her bed, he could have flipped her over but the couch had limited space and it was either squish her against the back of the couch or throw her off it and he didn’t want to do either. “Ok ok ok!” He tried to catch her hands but she was too quick for him, plus his face was still in the couch and he couldn’t see. “Robyn! I give!”
As soon as she heard him say those two words, Robyn lifted her hands from his sides and slid off his body, coming to kneel by his head. “You had to know that was going to happen.”
Taron lifted his upper body and leant on his elbows and gave her a frown which lasted about a second before he grinned. “I walked into it or should I say, lay into it.” He got to his knees and crawled over to the corner, sitting down with his back against the couch and his legs stretched out in front of him on the poof. “Right come on. Before you get up to any more mischief.” He patted the couch.
Robyn stood up and sat on the couch, leaning in to give Taron a tiny kiss. “Love you.”
Kissing her back, he smiled. “Hmmm love you too. Now come on. Naps.”
Before Robyn got comfortable, she grabbed the TV controller and handed it to Taron. “You pick.” She sat on the couch, beside Taron, crossing her legs.
“What are you doing?”
Robyn turned her head to look at Taron, her face a little confused. “Sitting on the couch?”
“Robyn, how on earth can you have a Taron nap when you are nowhere near Taron?” He gave his chest a light pat. “Come on over here.”
With a re-position, Robyn moved to lay against his side, her legs stretched out the same way as his were, taking up the other side of the poof. She felt Taron move a little, lifting his arm so he could stretch it over her shoulder.
“Much better.” Taron hummed. Leaning down his kissed her head and then turned on the TV, going to Netflix to find something to watch.
Robyn kept her eyes on Taron the whole time as he flicked through the movies and tv shows. She felt like pinching herself because she just couldn’t believe that this was real. His heart was strong and his body was warm and he was all hers in the same way that she was his. It made her snuggle a little more into him, moving down so she was able to pull his arm down lower. He settled on a movie, one that Robyn knew she was not going to watch a minute of and once he put the TV controller down, she felt his right hand reach over and brush through her hair a few times before another kiss was placed on her head. Her eyes closed and she grinned after Taron gave her another kiss. She reached up to cup the back of his head, tilting her head back to she could return his kiss but on his lips. He grinned as she kept giving him little kisses and with one final one, she lay her head back down on his chest and wrapped his right arm around her. Comfort and contentment, it was something she had not felt in such a very very long time and the tingles and warmth she felt was something she would get used to quite quickly and easily.

How to enrich and expand your vocabulary (Writing 101 with an old soul #2)
Hi lovelies and welcome to the second part of my series "Writing 101 with an old soul"!! *clap clap* 👏👏👏
So today's lesson is going to be about:
┌─── ∘°❉°∘ ───┐
Enriching your vocabulary
└─── °∘❉∘° ───┘
Here are some basic tips that worked for me and allowed me to expand and broaden my vocabulary:
✘ Read. A lot. I know it may sound annoying as hell but I hardly ever find myself learning new words when talking to someone, unless they are really eloquent or use technical vocabulary of course. I would recommend reading basically everything, even the material that you dislike or do not find interesting. Just a brief reminder – there are lots of media out there that you can find really easily. Literature is not limited to novels – think of short stories, fanfiction, poetry, comics, manga, graphic novels, etc. (And most of the time you don't even have to buy them to read them!)
✘ Watch movies, series, documentaries, etc. It may help you learn technical vocabulary if its main focus is on a topic that you want to learn more about. Plus it can be of great help to learn more about timelines, managing space and time, well-written or poorly-written characters, recurring themes, symbols and metaphors, etc.
✘ Listen to music which the lyrics are not in your first language. It will not only help you learn little by little other languages, but will also help you broaden your point of view, expand your mind and your horizons. Obviously you have to stay patient and be kind to yourself –it will not happen overnight. But I can guarantee that it will have a positive cultural and psychological impact on you.
Now you may wonder, "What should I do with my new breadth of vocabulary?"
Here is an example. You want to describe one of your female characters who is called Poppy (yes, just like the flower) and give your readers a glimpse of what she looks like. You already have some ideas about her physical appearance and made a list out of them:
Quite fragile/delicate at first sight
Real pretty though
Black ebony eyes
Red hair + thin, white strands
Soft & smooth skin
No make-up
So now that you have enough words to describe Poppy, you can start writing a descriptive passage focused on her.
I would advise you to start with very simple, basic sentences in order to be able to make them more beautiful later. It could be something like:
"Poppy seemed quite fragile at first sight but she was really pretty though. She had black ebony eyes and red hair with thin, white strands. Her skin looked soft and smooth even though she was not wearing any make-up."
Let's try and embellish this description, shall we?
I took this descriptive passage from one of the stories that I posted on Wattpad – be careful that I first wrote it in French and then translated it in English for this lesson. So your Poppy is:
"[...] of fragile and delicate beauty. She had long, straight bright red hair with thin, white strands that she braided and adorned with pearls. Whenever she smiled, little wrinkles formed at the corner of her bright eyes, black ebony eyes being a sharp contrast to her milky complexion. She had high cheekbones, lips in bold red barely lighter than of her hair. [...] She [...] never wore make-up. In truth, she did not need any of it – with her pale complexion, perfect smooth skin, lively eyes and naturally red lips, she was so beautiful she could make envious even those who were most confident in themselves."
Do you see the changes I made? Can you now clearly picture Poppy in your mind?
When I wrote this descriptive passage, I made sure to use lots of adjectives to characterise her and make her livelier and easier to imagine. I think it is a description that plays on the visuals (see the colours that pop up again and again, can you see a theme there?) and one I'm very proud of.
┌──❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚─┐
Homework
└───❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚┘
No, you're not dreaming, lovely people! There's homework for you to do! For real!
Instructions: Think of something you like, something that feels familiar and makes you feel safe and comforted. Try and write a description of it. I want you to be proud of the final result. You can post it in the comments if you like.
And that's all for today. As always take care of yourselves and stay safe. You're worth it, darling~ ♡
꒒ ০ ⌵ ୧ ♡

/ birthday event prep with moon somin
when it’s almost her birthday, somin had almost forgotten the cafe event that legacy does for all of their artists. it’s been more than a year since her debut, but she still is kinda feeling like she’s living in a dream. she’s been actively living her life and feeling like some of it isn’t real.
and then this cafe event. seeing the birthday cafe events for her last year had been genuinely wild and she’s seen the ads pop up online for this year. she hopes she’ll have time to drop by one of them and get a cupholder for herself, but she’s not too sure if she’ll have time considering it’s during comeback promotions. but hopefully. she really wants one to keep in her room, even if she’s only going to use it as a display item.
either way, she’s in the kitchen with a camera crew in front of her and a baker and a barista to help her come up with her ideal dessert and drink. she had spent a lot of time thinking about the best pairing for her set and she thinks she’s decided on her pairing. originally, she had wanted to do a cake of some sort with a milk tea, but she had been a bit worried that it might be too heavy for her fans.
so she had carefully thought about the pairing every time she got a cake or a drink from a cafe and thought it was nice, but in the end she’s going with her favourite drink and one of her favourite desserts.
“okay, so the drink is one i’ve made before i kind of wanted to play off the fact that my colour in crystallis is white, so i’m making an oolong milk tea,” somin says happily after introducing herself to the camera. “it’s not white but it’s really pale and it’s one of my favourite drinks, though i usually get it with pearls.” she doesn’t mention that she usually gets it from gongcha, but she’s being careful to not namedrop any brands.
“it’s actually really easy to make and i make it in the dorms all the time,” she explains, showing the oolong tea that had been provided for her today and she holds it up, grabbing the teapot that’s in front of her and adding a spoonful of the loose leaf tea into it. “then you add hot water and let it’s steep. we’re going to use milk powder, which is lactose free so anyone who is lactose intolerant doesn’t have to worry about this drink!” she grins, knowing that that was important to people who had to worry about that. “and then we’re going to add honey as the sweetener later, which i guess makes this a honey oolong milk tea.”
she sets the teapot aside for now with a timer, moving on to describing her dessert. “i didn’t want something too heavy since the milk tea is milky,” she explains, grinning as she comes to the reveal of her dessert. “so we’re going to make something tart! literally, too. it’s a lemon meringue tart,” she says, happy with her choice.
“i love meringues ... i also love croffles but since those are really popular nowadays, i thought the tart would be better and it’ll pair better too!”
“oh the tea is finished ...” she stops talking so she can add a few spoonfuls of milk powder and also a squeeze of honey, stirring before taking a sip. “oh, i think it needs a little bit more honey,” somin says aloud, nodding and adding a little bit more. after another sip, she brightens visibly and nods. “perfect!”
the baker steps forwards to help direct her on what to do for the pastry from behind the camera, and she laughs a bit sheepishly as she spills some flour but manages to crack the eggs masterfully one-handedly. “i cook a lot, but i don’t bake much so i’m really out of my depth here,” she explains, looking sheepish but she works hard to listen well and follow all the instructions. she manages to make the tart base, letting it rest before returning to attempt to make the lemon curd as well as the meringue.
it’s a struggle, but after some brief struggle with piping, she’s finally at the end stage of the tart. there’s some powdered sugar on her cheek, and she’s struggled a lot but she’s also very proud. “don’t worry you guys, yours will look a lot better,” she can’t help but quip, laughing afterwards.
“but now’s the part i think everyone’s been waiting for, right? because i definitely have been ... the torching!” she holds up the blowtorch, trying not to look too excited and probably failing miserably as she gets the okay to turn it on, facing it away from her. she lightly torches the meringue, watching as it browns and she does it until she’s satisfied with the result.
there’s a slight cut where she goes to freshen up and fix her makeup before returning with the finished drink and dessert set up in front of her. “tadaaah~” somin singsongs happily, showing both items to the camera.
“here i present to you my dalcha,” she says, holding up the honey oolong milk tea, “which you can have hot or iced, even though mine is currently iced. and the tart is called lemon moon,” she says, and maybe she’s being cheesy for making so many moon puns but she doesn’t care either. her whole vibe is supposed to be somewhat celestial, from her last name to her stage name.
“i hope you guys enjoy it!”

This tag/ask game is so fun! Thank you so much for tagging me @presleyelvis <3 I loved your answers btw ;)
last elvis song you listened to: Little Sister
current elvis song stuck in your head: Long Black Limousine (I wanna put this one in a movie)
favorite live performance moment: I have several favourite moments, he was an amazing entertainer and a goofball lmao, but lately I've been thinking of the moment in Elvis: That's The Way It Is when he leans on his knee, the mic stand is completely diagonal, and he's saying "It's a very tender love song. it's a ballad. and um.. you get up into a girl's face yknow, very close, and you say YEAHHH!!" hes talking in his pleasant voice and then just YELLS it makes me laugh but if he did that to me he'd scare me shitless. Anyways and then he just start singing Hound Dog lmao.
favorite genre/era you like to hear elvis sing most: I think if you love Elvis you have appreciation for each of his different eras, each one is special in its own way and I personally can't choose a favourite. His rise to stardom in 55-56 when his voice is so young, so untouched, so unique, that era of Elvis is one most beautiful moments in music history for me. His phoenix moment in the late 60s, his comeback in 68, will always have me on a chokehold, the way his voice is so strong and lower, it's just such a special moment, he gave everything he had and more. But right now I'm really into the time period of his return after the army and the release of Elvis is Back! This album is what I've been listening the most during these last two weeks ( and I recently got a really beautiful coloured vinyl pressing of Elvis is Back! and I'm so <3)
current favorite elvis song (bc how can you pick!): Reconsider Baby. Once again Elvis is Back! is a perfect album and Reconsider Baby is my favourite song to ever close any Elvis record, just an amazing and very underrated song. I'm really a blues girl.
elvis song you tend to skip: I rarely skip his songs, but I don't really enjoy Guadalajara and Angel ( I recently got a second hand vinyl record of Easy Come, Easy Go) and yeah I don't like when those come up. But other than that not much.
what kind of music did you listen to before/besides elvis: I really got into Elvis after the movie, because Baz showed me what Elvis was like while performing, his electrifying, world shaking energy that just jolts right through you. The music I listened "before" Elvis is basically Elvis's musical sons or his successors in a sense, or at least in a chronological view because they appeared right after Elvis. My musical taste has always been rock music and it's subgenres. Around age 11, or fifth grade, was when I started to discover the music that spoke to me with classic rock n' roll like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Guns N' Roses, grunge with Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Hole and a lot of nu-metal. I also listened to a lot of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, they were one of the biggest rock bands when I was a kid. During my teen years I heavily gravitated towards post-punk, post-hardcore, metalcore with bands like Brand New, Citizen, Knocked Loose, La Dispute and also indie alternative rock bands like The National, Interpol and Placebo. Female alternative musicians like Kate Bush, Lana del Rey, Fiona Apple, Florence Welch and Mitski are so important in my life as well, I wouldn't be the same without them. So yeah I listen to a lot of rock, my beggining was classic rock n' roll and I've always have been all over the rock genre musical family tree. But I also listen to a lot of blues, jazz, some rap and some pop, and as of late, a lot of brazilian music, I really love Chico Buarque and Seu Jorge. ( I wrote a lot but I can talk about music for hours ok, give me a break)
are you collecting elvis' cds, cassette tapes, 8-tracks, or records?: Yes! Most of the money I've spent in these last months has been on Elvis, mostly vinyl records but also cd's, dvd's and books. I will work harder to make my collection grow <3 !
is there any other music you've started listening to because of elvis?: No. Like I said rock n' roll was always my thing. But I've been in an "oldies" kinda mood again since Elvis and I'm listening to a lot of music from 65-71 as of late. A lot of Led Zeppelin too, I feel like I'm 12 again.
last live performance you were at: last live perfomance was of this cool band I saw in the random festival near the place I live that I can't remember the name because I wasn't sober. Last big artist perfomance I saw was Lana del Rey in 2019, my first time seeing her, I lost my voice in that concert lmao.
if you could have been at any of elvis' live performances, which would you choose: Any Elvis live perfomance would be amazing. But yknow if I had to choose one, then the 68 special. I'd kill to be one the girls in the audience during the 68 comeback special, I mean I'd pass out, it would be too much for me, but it would be worth it. He's really close to you and he's absolutely drop dead gorgeous and his perfomances give me goosebumps, so yknow I'd pass out on that set, they'd have to call an ambulance, but yeah, that's how I wanna go. 68 special.
I don't have that many Elvis mutuals as of yet but I'm tagging @ash-omalley @troubleinapinksuit and whoever else sees this and would like to answer as well! I'm tagging you so just tag me back because I'd love to see your answers and get to know more of you 💕

brain is melting in studying so. do you have any thoughts on victoria/cor wedding...............
YES i have SO many wedding thoughts!!!!!!!
well okay so first of all. i think it’s cor who proposes after like a year long courting period (after they’ve been together for a few years which is technically backwards but it’s the intent that counts) because she wants victoria to have the proper southern belle experience. victoria tells her she doesn’t need to do that and she would marry her even if she proposed out of the blue with a ring pop ring but (not so) secretly she LOVES that cor put the thought and effort into it. they both get super into the wedding planning—spending days cake tasting and colour picking etc—and they make some really good memories during that time. the wedding is a huge outdoor affair of course, and they invite like two hundred plus people, most of whom are people they’ve gotten to know through being involved in the local lgbt and punk scene, but there’s also cor’s maternal great aunts (who were the ones who supported her when she was younger and trying to get her feet under her) and victoria’s second cousin and his husband. victoria refuses to let cor see her for a week prior to the wedding, insisting that she needs to get things perfect and cor isn’t supposed to see her in her wedding dress anyway. cor wears a modified three piece with studs and fancy embroidered patches, and victoria wears a stunning light coral gown, adorned with pearls, with an almost-opaque, incredibly fancy veil. they both weep when they see each other for the first time, and by the time they exchange vows they’re full-on crying. they have a professional photographer (a friend of victoria’s who’s trying to break into the field) do a series of wedding photos that gets put together in a book later on. their cake is white with piped flowers and fancy frosting and icing, and it’s four-tiered, with a cliche topper of two brides. there’s a dance after the reception and cor puts to use the fancy dancing lessons she took in secret for the past six months, and they’re both grinning and laughing and so happy they feel like they might burst.

hello! thank you for opening free rarot reading! previously i have had some readings done by you and they never disappoint!
assumption that i have about you : you are soft spoken, LOVES PEARL, also i do think of you like dreamy like (i feel like you have that dreamy look), wear a lot of sweater, loves the colour white. i feel like you are generous and you are a deeply caring person (also emotional too??)
my question will be :
"what colour does suit me best?"
as in which colour pallette that would make me look 'pop' (as in outfits) or just looks great on me or just made sense about me (?) or/and also somehow represents who i am!
i would love to get the reading on that topic! forgive me if that is a random question but very much intrigued to hear your question!
thank you so much once again for the free tarot reading! have a fantastic day/night! ♡
Hi!
Thank you for your assumption, I do feel these are true.
I'm seeing that a lot of colours suit you, but specifically when they're well organised and match really well, I'm also seeing that matching outfits really suit you, soft colours, beige, browns. I'm going to say a lot of very feminine and classy outfits suit you very well!

JONOTHAN FACTS
he/him this man was given something and stuck w/it , jokes aside he’s chill with his gab
his twitter is a mess, his fans love him for it, his manager not so much
got introduced to rhythm games by charlie and hasn’t put them down since, between his shoot breaks he’s probably playing project sekai or project diva if he brings his switch
honestly shocking this man hasn’t become some stay at home-growing mold- kinda dude with the kind of things that man is into it’s like chronically online adjacent (no i don’t know what i mean i am just saying words, figure it out)
can drive, won’t drive, highway scary. But if he’s the designated driver he’ll do it anyways. Despite his anxiety and hatred of driving he prefers to be the one doing the most driving when doing road trips.
can actually handle his liquor, everyone found out when he was barely buzzed when he joined in on luke and charlie’s cousins drinking at a get together and everyone else was either knocked out or stumbling.
Lives in a high rise apartment, Floor to ceiling windows, decently sized balcony which has a small outdoor table and a barbecue.
He used to not be into decorating his space but now frequents ikea and other places to decorate and style his place with charlie.
HATES, DETESTS the big/main lighting in the apartment and uses solely mood lighting/ lamps and ambient lights to light his place unless he’s cooking in the kitchen. You can tell which apartment is his by the coloured lighting coming out of it (not that you could actually see in since he’s so high up and the windows are mirrored on the outside, but let’s pretend here since we’re doing so much of that in this document lol)
Wasn’t that big on the idea of marriage when he was younger but if he’s being honest (and don’t tell charlie) but he can see himself spending the rest of his life with charlie, marriage or not.
Has been blonde before, that didn’t last very long but it was a thing. He had to do it for a set of shoots and the moment he could dye it back to black he did.
prefers to be the first one awake ONLY IF charlie is staying over because if he doesn’t she will be really annoying in trying to wake him up.
Jonothans motif is cats, meow.
Ok i don’t have an actual perfume specifically but i know he goes for those fresher spring scents almost smells like grass lmaooo.
sleeps with his hair out of his face using a soft headband, wears a retainer overnight as well (gotta keep those pearly whites lmaoooo)
morning routine beauty wise involves a whole buncha got2bstyled, hair straightener, moisturiser, sunscreen and the iconic black eyeshadow it’s important.
Has faint freckles they get covered easily by his concealer but in the summer he doesn’t use as much concealer and they’re more visible :D
Is a big fan of noise, think machine girl and the garden. But is also dedicated to bubblegum pop and girl groups 💪
hates going to the hair salon only because he hates making talk with the stylists, he’s kinda socially built like a guinea pig with people he only very occasionally sees. kinda frozen mentally it’s a nightmare for him 😭. So you can imagine the situation he’s in when he has to do his job.
is actually considering becoming a streamer as a side fun thing. But due to its yk live nature his manager said no way your twitter is bad enough. Poor woman is so overworked trying to keep things palatable for modeling agencies.
Big fan of coffee flavoured things. Is kind of a coffee snob in the sense of knowing the differences between roasts and using an actual coffee machine with all the bits n bobs on it. Idk how he does it either. Is yet to convince charlie coffee is actually decent.
Jonothans regular tea order is the brown sugar milk tea with pearls.

Could I request a ship?
I have short dark brown hair and brown eyes. I have pearl earrings currently. I am 5'6. I am also ftm and gay.
I am currently learning German and Ukrainian. I play the cello (I would say that I'm pretty decent at it). I want to join the paratroopers soon and maybe get a doctorate degree in the medical field. I like writing books, reading, and drawing. I am very interested in history mainly the 20th century. I also know how to cross-country ski and love the winter.
My MBTI type if I remember correctly is INTJ. I love procrastinating and do well under a lot of pressure. I'm also very stubborn and awkward with talking to people so I don't have many close friends. For some reason, I have a sort of knack for doing things well, even if it's the first time I've tried it and that might be because I listen really closely to stuff to make sure I'm doing everything correctly. I need a straightforward path and a list of things I should do to get something done.
I have depression, anxiety and maybe (I say maybe because it's undiagnosed) maladaptive daydreaming, which basically means I daydream too much that it's a problem. Any small words of affection or reassurance sends me through the roof and makes me happy for the rest of the day (idk why). I also get angry very quickly and forget things quickly.
I am converting to Judaism so that’s cool. My sense of clothing style is just me pretending I’m in the military, pleather jackets, heavy jackets that are either camo or dark green, aviator sunglasses, a lot of neutral colours, fancy dress shirts/blouses, combat boots (which I currently do not own so just tennis shoes or winter boots), I have a few BoB pins which I have created on my own :) I like wearing t-shirts in winter under my jacket just because. The t-shirts usually have designs like aeroplanes, space, and museum shirts. I also have a collection of shirts from places I’ve never been cause I think it’s hilarious. I do a lot of things just cuz I think they’re funny.
I keep a lot of stuff in my pockets “just in case”. I impulse buy, which is a big insecurity of mine. People intimidate me easily so I usually wait to get approached to start a conversation. I like watching adventure shows like extinct or alive or expedition unknown.
I would say that I have a very dark sense of humour and am almost always sarcastic when talking to my friends (also I love irony). I have an interesting music taste, most any song I listen to goes onto my liked songs on Spotify heh. I sometimes slip into a British accent or one that isn’t mine at all.
I tend to get myself injured a least once daily. (this is a not a problem for me anymore)
Wow can I just say that you sound like the most interesting person?! I feel like we would honestly be friends irl. I also really need someone to teach me how to cross-country ski, bc I’ve never done that before 🤭
I ship you with:
Lewis Nixon from Band of Brothers!
Ship theme song: Real Love by The Beatles
Y’all make the most interesting couple!
You both know a lot about really obscure stuff
Two Encyclopedia Bitches In Love💕
He finds your dark brown hair and brown eyes so sexy
The two of you know soooo many languages
He loves when you speak Ukrainian to him
Since that is one language that he hasn’t quite picked up yet
Meeting you during the war in Germany and he thinks your German at first because you speak the language so well
Lew was raised on classical music
So he loves sitting down with a glass of Chardonnay while you play your cello
Is very supportive of you entering the medical field
You probably meet at a field hospital during Bastogne
I feel like you two will have a huge shared library of books together
Lew is a lover of pop culture and history
He can spew weird history facts at you all day
And he loves that you probably already know all of them🤭
You love to ski?!
This dude will literally buy a Swiss mountain chalet just so you can both going skiing together in the winter months
Intj and entp personalities are very complimentary just saying
Y’all nickname your house Procrastination Station
Literally, all Nix ever did during the war
Besides drink
Was work under pressure
But he’ll never push you to do anything you don’t want to do
Nix lives in a very laidback manner
And he’s glad that you do, too
This man hates to be rushed through life
Nix was that Gifted And Talented kid in school
So he relates to your ability to do things perfectly the first time
Those first few years after the war were tough on you both
Nix had a lot of baggage coming out of the war
So he understands your need to be alone
And for escapism
Nix has a way with words
And he’s getting better at showing his true affection and fondness for you through kind reassurances
He’s a great gift giver
And an impulse buyer like yourself
So your home is probably loaded with boxes of random stuff Nix just picked up for you during the course of his day
Nix isn’t really religious
Nor is he that spiritual
But he’s supportive of your conversion to Judaism
He thinks it’s a very interesting culture
He has no problem with introducing you to new people
Since he knows it can be difficult for you to approach others
In fact, he’s quite good at making connections for others
Nix loves your sense of humor
It gels perfectly with his own
You never fail to make him laugh when he’s having a bad day
And for that he is eternally thankful

MEDIA EXPERIMENTATION - SEASHELLS.
Seashells are a part of every beach anywhere. The shell I decided to base this particular look off is a clam shell. Clams typically have pearls inside of them therefore, I decided to add pearls into this design as the statement of the garment. I added an orange starfish as a pop of colour. I then continued the theme that I seem to have been going with which is cutting up squares of fabric and gluing them down.
The media I used for this design was pencil and some stuck on pearls, as well as some fine liner for the skirt. I love the design of the top half of this garment but I think I could develop the bottom half even more. Such as making flares or even making it into a dress. Overall I think that the top would be the star of the show and I would prefer it to be a two piece. I am also really happy with the drawing I did of the shell it makes the page a little less dull.

One of a kind Indian Jewellery That Is Appropriate For Different Occasions
India is a land of diversity with various civilizations and customs, which often unite to be a single nation. Imbibing the very similar features, most Indian jewellery is actually diverse with respect to its designs. Nonetheless, the most popular factor which binds them as one will be the metal - Gold. Indians' everlasting love as well as fascination for gold pieces of jewelry date back in the past, to when the kings and queens of different eras draped themselves with golden ornaments from top to bottom. The penchant for gold pieces of jewelry has evolved with each new generation. Exclusive, distinct plus sophisticated jewellery designs stir the attention of the existing era, instead of the volume of gold utilised in them.
Earrings are evergreen accessories and the easiest way to style up or down your everyday western, fusion or even Indian wear. We suggest you take a few picks from our contemporary earrings collection for a casual chic statement. There are plenty of designs to choose from among studs, hoops, tassel earrings, front-back styles and danglers which range anywhere from antique baroque motifs to floral patterns and modern classic lines. Handcrafted out of plain and gold-plated silver or alloy, many of these pieces are studded with Swarovski crystals, pearls, rubies, opal, sapphire and other gemstones, or adorned with enamel details. Some styles even have pop colours that can pep up any attire and even your mood! Traditional Earrings
Nearly all overseas nations around the world carry a misconception that Indian jewellery only contains ornaments manufactured from pure yellow gold. Even though our love for gold and also its colour could have created this belief, it is really not the only metal utilised in the ornaments. Jewelry made of white gold, platinum, copper, brass, bronze, silver and even ivory will be extensively preferred in different parts of India. Jewellery primarily manufactured from glass and also wooden beads are observed in many rural and also tribal areas of India. Inspired by their traditions and also cultures, different states of India have their own distinctive trademarked jewelry designs, that tend to be popular globally.
While Delhi can be popular for its glamorous Kundan ornaments, Orissa will be prominent for its fragile Tarakashi or silver filigree pieces of jewelry plus art. The temple town of Nagercoil in South India is popular for its expensive temple jewelry, and the actual complex vibrant styles of Meenakari will be well-liked all over Rajasthan. Surat can be renowned for its generous addition of diamonds along with electroplated brass, plus copper pieces of jewelry can be common in Moradabad. Varanasi and also Purdilpur will be renowned for their glass-beaded jewellery collection, while Mathura is actually famous for its wooden-beaded ornaments. The Bidri work and fresh pearl necklaces of Hyderabad, the lac jewellery of Bikaner and the Thewa jewellery of Pratapgarh along with the amazing tribal bead ornaments of Andhra Pradesh, add a unique angle to the already vivid set of Indian ornaments.
Earrings never go out of style and any traditional attire is truly complemented by a beautiful pair of earrings. Whether you are someone who likes to wear small studs or someone who goes all the way to flaunt long dangling statement earrings with intricate detailing, Tribe will surely have something for your personal expression of style. Moreover, one could go with colourfully embellished pieces matching with the colour of their ethnic outfit or choose to don neutral or pearls and even earrings studded with multi-coloured stones or glass - versatile in their own right. We have some of the classiest classic designs that will bring the limelight to you, be it any occasion. We keep launching new traditional jewellery collections from time to time, which means you’ll always have plenty of latest traditional styles to choose from. Make one of these your own for a traditional style statement with Tribe. Bahubali Earrings
Pretty much all gold jewelry designs might not be well suited for every outfit and also celebration. For this reason, it's essential to find out which jewelry would go with your look and outfit. Large jewellery designs, especially gold and also silver, will be best associated with conventional clothes along with open-neck outfits. A long-beaded pearl or glass necklace along with a set of thin metal bangles could go well with both Indian as well as Traditional western clothes. Lac earrings are usually best when paired with Indian costumes, and big lac pendants on a simple long chain appearance appealing when combined with Traditional western outfit. You can find ample possibilities when it comes to Indian ornaments. Consequently, carry on experimenting in order to make a exclusive style affirmation.
