This evening has been // Been hoping that you'd dropped in So very nice // I'll hold your hands they're just like ice

I never knew how much fun ‘draw the squad/OTP/OT3′ stuff is! I’m totes gonna do more. I already have a bunch saved in my drafts! Many thanks to @everafrost for suggesting this one so of course I had to draw Jo & Sammy havin’ a snuggle in the snow~

Thank you! ((Tea asks))

16. Hibiscus tea: What is a song you can always hear?

Lately I’ve been listening to a couple songs on repeat - Fuel to Fire by Agnes Obel, Smokestacks by Layla, and Stay Alive by Jose Gonzales are a few that I can play constantly without getting bored.

17. Flowering tea: What is a movie you can always watch?

There are actually very few movies I usually feel motivated to watch - I’m one of those people who says they don’t want to watch a movie because it takes too long and then proceeds to binge watch five straight hours of a tv show.  How to Train Your Dragon is probably my favorite movie, with Big Hero 6 as a close second.  As far as shows, I’m literally always in the mood to watch Pushing Daisies, Star Trek, Steven Universe, or Warehouse 13. Psych and Eureka are also comfort shows for me; they’re the ones I go back and watch a lot when I’m not doing well.

18. Pu-erh tea: What is a book you can recommend to others?

Ocean at the End of the Lane by Niel Gaiman.  It’s beautifully written and a quick read, definitely one of my favorite books. Neverwhere and The Graveyard Book are also 11/10 always recommend. Just anything and everything by Neil Gaiman okay

19. Turkish tea: What is your favourite cake?

Oh man this is a tough one… probably molten chocolate cake topped with fresh raspberries and whipped cream

20. Green tea: What was the first movie you saw in a cinema?

I have some vague memories of going to a theater with my dad when I was like four and being terrified.  I can’t remember what movie it was though.  The first one I actually really remember was Toy Story 2.  I was still a smol young thing but it was considerably less scary that time.

21. Blueberry-Muffin tea: Tell me a memory, which makes you smile.

My first semester of college, the day before thanksgiving break.  I was going to be staying in the dorms for the break, while everyone else was going home.  it was a bit of a lonely prospect.  My friend (who would one day become one of the closest friends I’ve ever had) came down to my room to say goodbye and borrow some books.  She had a long bus ride ahead of her, and I always had a well-stocked bookshelf.  We talked for a little while, and she brought up the prospect of us being roommates someday, when we moved out of the dorms.  We hugged, tight - she was one of few people I was ever really comfortable being touched by, and she gives fantastic hugs.  Like, holding someone so tight and nuzzling up close to them simply because you love them to pieces and just need to wrap yourself around them.  That kind of hug.  At least, that’s how it always felt to me.  I watched her leave, and realized in that moment just how much I was going to miss her.  It was mostly an unimportant and uneventful kind of moment, but it stuck with me for a long time.

In the years that followed, we did become roommates, and the best of friends.  We shared so many wonderful moments together, so many good memories.  She helped me through some of the worst times of my life and she’s always going to mean the world to me.  We’re no longer living in the same town and staying in contact has been difficult and complicated by a lot of stuff, so the memory is more bittersweet than happy.  But it still makes me smile, and I miss the good times we had together more than anything.

22. Panda tea: Do you have pets? Which one?

Yes! This is my leopard gecko, Jack. She’s a sassy little lizard and I love her dearly. (Fun fact - she inspired a character on this blog, my smol gay pirate queen)

Aileen was studying this new girl practice at Camp Half-Blood. It had been a while since the Hunters had gone to stay at Camp Half-Blood, but Aileen and Sasha had been hunting monsters and they could use some luxury for a few days. The dark haired girl wasn’t particularly bad, but it was easy to spot she had not been there for long, or that she was behind training.
