Last song:

One Day in Your Life by 54-40

Currently watching:

Random YouTube videos about English royal history, primarily the Plantagenets and the Tudors.

Best thing about last month:

I got some new stickers in the mail today. And some new (to me) stamps and first day covers to add to my ever-growing collection. :)

Current obsession:

Knitting and crocheting, mostly to procrastinate on anything actually productive.

Currently reading:

The Plantagenets by Dan Jones, and I have Pierre Berton's War of 1812 on deck.

Currently working on:

A summer cardigan, and also about seven billion stories (both fanfiction and original).

Sweet/ savoury/ spicy:

Salty.

Last search:

I learned that Curious George is a Barbary Macaque. (or a chimpanzee, but I think he looks more like a macaque.)

Looking forward to:

Not much, really, because ✨✨depression✨✨.

I haven't interacted with, well, anyone on here in a long time so I'm tagging @purplechernobyl and anyone else who wants to do it!

⭐️Origins of your blog name: My first name and my old dog's name.

⭐️My “I’ll always order this” food:  Caesar salad and onion rings.

⭐️Overused emoji:  😊 And this past month has seen a lot of use out of 🖕🧊

⭐️Comfort movie, book and show:  More like comfort youtube channels. Alexandria Ryan, Hannah Alonzo, and HopeScope have been my go-tos. I did spend last night curled up under about fifteen blankets to watch Space Jam.

⭐️Song on repeat: The Tragically Hip - Grace, Too

⭐️Current hyperfixation: researching and writing what will hopefully be my first actual proper book!

⭐️Oddly specific thing that brings me joy: seeing kids get excited about things. Last month I was in Toronto and I took a walk by the CN Tower, and I watched so many kids shout at their parents, "Look how BIG it is!!!" and just looking up at it in awe.

⭐️What smell makes me happy: freshly mowed grass, bacon cooking, and lilacs (btw, where are the lilac-scented candles? They've all been replaced by lavender, it seems)

⭐️Something I loved as a kid and secretly still do:  I not-so-secretly watch the shows I loved as a kid. Sesame Street, Today's Special, Fred Penner's Place, Mr. Dressup, the Elephant Show.

⭐️Phone wallpaper right now: my floofy chonk Paskal

Anna:

Your Result:

patron saint of heartbreak

not of comfort. not of condolences. there is a heart and there is a fissure, a fracture, something that starts to splinter and break open. you're the patron saint of the way a heart is rent open. the way it tears itself apart. patron saint of the rift. patron saint of the gash. when they say to "open your heart" to somebody, you are the patron saint of bleeding out.

new OC Sophie:

patron saint of bones

patron saint of frameworks. of structures. of solidity. patron saint of things that break. patron saint of things that are left behind. the bones survive long after the body, the building: what is there left for them, when the rest has gone? what do bones do, with nothing to hold around them? who holds the bones?

Also me: Let's write historical fiction for a time period I know next to nothing about and what appears to be a black hole of non information because of the Very Important Events which take place before and after said time period.

If you need me, I'll have moved into the library because all the books I can find on the subject can only be used in the library.
