Thank you for the tag @galaxy-siren :)

Fave color: I have two—blue green & hot pink

Watching: I'm in-between shows, but the last thing I watched in full was the docuseries Twisted Yoga.

Reading: I started rereading Jane Eyre, but got sidetracked.

Last Google: Griffon dogs

Currently Working On: Chapter eight of All That Glitters Is Not Gold

Tea or Coffee: Both, I've been switching between Irish breakfast tea & my protein coffee. It just depends on the day.

Current Phone Wallpaper: A live wallpaper of Earth

Fave color: GREEN BABY!

Watching: Rewatching Death Note atm, Busted and K Foodie meets J foodie

Reading: I am doing a terrible job of starting books atm and not finishing them and dipping between them and then starting some more. Jail for me I think.

Last Google: Stuff to do with cricket (I'm doing quiz quesistions for my dad for his birthday)

Currently Working On: Just trying to keep it together

Tea or Coffee: Both, but cold please.

Current Phone Wallpaper: Oscar Isaac.

Fav color: I usually answer this question with “ocean colors”; I love blues, but also the greys and silvers and tints of green and the light and shadow and depth and wistfulness of glittering waves 🌊 and all the different blues and greys of the sky above it too!

Watching: almost done with Narcos, hopefully seeing Project Hail Mary again (<333), and catching up on some recent Amimisu videos I’ve missed 📽️

Reading: rereading The Silmarillion; reading The Book of Charlatans and (hoping to get back to) some delightful fanfics ♡📚 and audiobooking a nonfiction read about T. E. Lawrence from my library too!

Last google: Sugar by Sleep Token (!!? oh my god what a song) 🎶

Currently working on: a pair of knitted grey wool socks, prepping some lacemaking supplies (ahh I am so excited!!), ongoing duolingo lessons, sewing a Star Wars skirt, and hopefully soon getting back to some fic writing ♡🧵

Tea or coffee: tea babeyyy 🫖🍵🧋☕️ (I will occasionally drink decaf coffee too, and do like it a lot! but tea is my go-to and my favorite ♡)

Current phone wallpaper: my lock screen is Kira Nerys and Jadzia Dax looking at each other very sapphically, and my wallpaper is my otp from my all-time favorite kdrama, Yeon Seon x Jung Ji-un 🥹💞🌸

Fave colour: Like you I don't like to fix the color. I call my range berry colours: all those purple-red variations, sometimes going for an actual red or blueish purple. Though the one colour I go for the most is the juice of a blackberry. Just perfect 😍

Watching: I just started Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and it's very fun with loads of pop music numbers. Before I did a rewatch of Agent Carter and for a comic book show it has great female characters (though it lacks diversity in other aspects - fuck is that show white; you can see them trying to bring in some in the second season but it barely makes a difference). Still they should have gotten that third season.

Reading: A few fics in the last days. I'm technically reading two books, one about ADHD and also re-reading Polysecure. That one I am taking slow to actually absorb the information and use it to reflect and understand my own attachments styles and how I show up in relationships.

Last duckduckgo: "tumblr more text colors" lol. I tried to see how much effort it would be to highlight the berry colors in a red-purple instead of a default tumblr color.

Tea or coffee: preferably ice tea!

Current phone wallpaper: okay, absolute top choice for Kira and Jadzia looking at each other saphically! My background choices are usually not that interesting. For my phone I'm using one that came with my prev prev phone of soap bubbles.

And now for the no pressure tags:

Fave colour: purple

Watching: I just finished the Queen's Gambit like yesterday it was really good and kinda got me back into playing chess a bit more regularly if anyone wants to play with me on chess.com I have the same username

Reading: currently botw fics for books uuuh I'm slowly making my way through Abaddon's Gate the third book in the expanse

Last search: a time zone converter lol

Current phone wallpaper: the default it's like a series of pink clouds

No pressure tags:

Favourite colour: purple, and specifically the more blue-toned deep royal purples (I'm picky). fuchsia pink. silver. black. deep turquoise.

Watching: I can't remember, but I don't think we had anything on the go before I went away. I need to catch up with my various German series, though.

Reading: The Keeper by Tana French. I need to catch up with that, too.

Last search: I can't remember. But I'm about to search a particular band from the Finnish scene 20-odd years ago because I met two of them on Friday night and I could not for the life of me remember what they looked like back then XD

Currently working on: not right at this moment, but my final assignment for year 2 of this benighted MA in Applied Linguistics (I am applying them in a context that the module team either are not interested in or haven't bothered to include because it's my entire reason for doing the course) and then then THEN I shall be putting Two of a Kind together properly YAY!

Tea or coffee: Coffee. Tea is the devil's mouthwash.

Current phone wallpaper: the Boy Disaster, as it has been on and off for over ten years (he's always either my lock screen or my wallpaper, and sometimes both, in a beautiful b&w photo taken by my friend in the summer of 2011 when he was playing some shows with his brother).

andddddd I'm going to tag (with absolutely no obligation!) a few people who I see a lot in my notes and would like to get to know better, and if you see this and fancy doing it, consider yourself well and truly tagged! @pureestmeddow @kylobith @lithdraug @acosmodot @eryn-gilith @kailoros @the-11th-doctor2

Favourite Color: Green! Especially dark greens I love, but light greens are nice as well

Watching: im not a particularly avid watcher and i have a bunch of finished shows but the one i watch most actively rn is Derry Girls!

Reading: also several books but most actively/ currently Plant Lady by Minyoung Kang (enjoyable (? It does also deal with abuse so unsure if thats the best word to use here) read but i dont think its gonna stay a super memorable one, apart from the fact that i like the plant stuff) and the fifth book of the Alex Verus series, which are just always a fun series to read imo

Last Search: 'plant lady book' cause i didnt remember the authoes name and didnt have if by hand lol. Before that it was some german word i didnt remember the english translation of (...it was a fairly simple one but thats besides the point)

Currently working on: sadly not a lot artistically cause ive been busy :( but i always have a sketchbook going and i on-off work on embroidery on an old jeans of mine. Im also working on my bachelor thesis'!

Tea or Coffee: i enjoy a good tea as well on occasion but coffee is part of my daily routine and smth i like to drink all year, so clear winner here

Current phone wallpaper:

Art lf someones tiefling oc (im assuming) that i just really liked (but cant remember the artist of and couldnt find with reverse search either:/) as my lockscreen and my friends art (@mnemoticnotes) of my oc as a home screen :))
