heliotrope; have you ever been in a castle?

lunaria; what’s your favorite fictional universe?

calendula; biggest pet peeve?

sunflower; share a favorite quote.

jasmine: answered

heliotrope: I've been to Beynac, Avignon, Carcassone, and I think some other castles in France and Spain that felt somewhat less castley. (Beynac was exactly what I wanted out of my medieval castles and I spent the entire time annoying my family by staring out windows and daydreaming, Avignon was all right, and Carcassone felt too touristy)

lunaria: Lord of the Rings

calendula: uhhhh. a pet peeve is people who present controversial/nonobvious ideas as if no one in the room could possibly disagree with them because we're not like those people, right? right?

sunflower: it's unfortunately pretty religious but Kipling's Hymn to Breaking Strain is one of those poems I recite under my breath when I'm trying to distract myself from something unpleasant

We only of Creation (0h, luckier bridge and rail) Abide the twin damnation— To fail and know we fail. Yet we - by which sole token We know we once were Gods— Take shame in being broken However great the odds— The burden of the Odds.

lantern - how did you meet your best friend? that’s a tricky question, as i don’t really have a best friend? but the people i’m close to, i met them in high school

spice - have you ever encountered a house that you believed to be haunted? no :/ as much as i love the idea of the supernatural, i don’t actually believe in that stuff. my sister is convinced that our house is haunted, and while we do have some.... odd stories, i don’t think our house is actually haunted.

Awwwn thank u for asking <33

6) are you religious/spiritual?

Not really?? I identify as agnostic because, to me, all religions sound equally absurd but at the same time science can’t explain everything, so who knows??? At the end of the day, any or even none of them could be right. I do respect all of them and their followers equally tho, as long as they aren’t hurting anybody nor try to convert me. I find theology and extremelly interesting topic tho, and the way it impacts and helps to shape different cultures!

Also, lately I’ve been reading quite a lot about witchcraft and buddhism and have been fifing myself very interested in both??? I like that you can still be agnostic and practice either of them too (or at least in some ramifications of them) :D Idk if i’d be able to stick to it, but i do would like to at least try to be more in touch with my spirituality in some way <3

7) do you care about your ethnicity?

Idk man this is such a complicated topic because like, tecnically, I’m a little mixed race (like the majority of the brazilian population let’s be honest sdckdsyg), but as far as looks go I def just look white so :v That’s what I id as too btw, but like, if I were in the US, i’d def care more about my id as a latin american probably, and when I went to europe some people gave me shit because i kinda sorta look turkish (and i do am of turkish descent) which obvs made me angry so :v I guess it depends of where I am isduhkcfduh But most of the time it’s not something i think/care about much no (and i do realise this  is a priviledge!!), other than just like, curiosity about all the different cultures my ancestors came from~ (wich would be, as far as I know,  italy, spain and turkey from my dad’s side, and portuguese, native (south) american, german and black on my mom’s side).

22) list the top five things you spend the most time doing, in order.

1. Procrastinating;

2. Daydreaming;

3. Overthinking;

4. Internet;

5. Reading (fanfiction, actual books or just stuff for college ksdhk)

30) pick one of your favorite quotes.

Aaaah this one is difficult!! I have so so many sjdcsjdh But one of my latest favs would be:

 “If you can’t be unafraid, be afraid and happy.”, from The Raven King, in The Raven Cycle series by Maggie Stiefvater. 

As someone who has both anxiety and social phobia, that really ressonated with me :’) 

sexual orientation headcanon: LESBIAN

gender headcanon: female 

mental illness / neurodivergent headcanon: ADD

Thank you!! :)

From Chapter 10 of Bring the Gasoline, tentatively titled “Margin of Error”. A little more than one line just cause:

Those dark eyes of his, swimming with the sort of certainty she’ll never understand, look so much like Nate’s. 

That makes it easier, somehow. Gives her a comfort, a soft sort of warmth when she looks into them and lies.
