5, 18, and 30 for the favourites asks? ๐
ok this is hard to answer (<- houseki no kuni fan) but hm. maybe malachite for semiprecious gems, but for like, precious gems i think sapphires are the coolest, with yknow the whole like, synthetically created thing!
i dont have one but i probably should fix that.... tba....
30 - book shorter than 300 pages?
OUGH I DONT READ MANY BOOKS SORRY, i read more mangas tbh,,,,, though out of those, my lesbian experience with loneliness, and literally all of nagata kabi's autobiographies, are extremely important to me and i read them at a time i really needed to hear what they had to say teehee, i also really really really love and adore the last volume of shimanami no tasogare by yuhki kamatani, i was genuinely sobbing the entire time i read it!!!! (i also loved double house by nanae haruno, idk if it was more than 300 pages since you literally like. cant get a physical copy of it but it had such a huuuuuge impact on my art its so dear to me)
