Lost Human

"Ever since you came into my life, you've completely changed it. I've never met anyone so naive and trusting before. Someone who's sharp-tongued, but actually incredibly kind. Someone who sings off-key, laughs too loud, eats messily, and talks nonsense all the time. But being with you is damn fun.

“what's your favourite note?”

I was tagged my @my-rose-tinted-glasses & @miss0atae. Thank you so much. This was such an interesting one, and I need a little time to chose my picks 🥹

This was so fun! I went with the first pair that came strongly to mind for each rasa, and I surprised myself with a couple of them; some of these are my usuals that I tend to trot out but a few are not my frequent picks. Some side couples stood out too, which was neat.

I've been avoiding these posts until I made mine (now I can go look at them all!) so I'm not sure who's played, but no-pressure tags to some of my faves that I bug all the time: @gotmehookedonthekpop @slonekaru @befuddledcinnamonroll @delesaria-blog @scarefox and anyone else who wants to play--please tag me so I can see your picks!
