i always thought the tv license was to watch bbc ! bc they have no ads so don’t make money that way. but i am v likely wrong

ooh yay thanks for asking!! i love answering these <3

arrow: how much does your happiness rely on relationships with others?

precisely zero! i'm happy single, and i'm happy in a relationship! i love myself, like, a LOT, so whether or not i have someone there who also loves me doesn't make much difference tbh :P that said, i love boy alex to pieces and i can't imagine my life without him, but i think that's different

bouquet: what's your favorite kind of flower?

dark red rose! but i'm a sucker for any flower, really :3

rose: are you romantic?

yes. i am a romantic piece of shit. i say ridiculously romantic things which i will never repeat in public while gazing into alex's eyes. he once called me to tell me he 'had the sads' so i went right over to his flat, pausing only to buy him all his favourite snacks (and wine, which weighs a lot in a handbag btw!), and then promptly ordered use some chinese food once i arrived. he was once really tired from lack of sleep so i put him in my room with my laptop to relax while i did all the previous meal's dishes, made him a hot chocolate (with marshmallows, of course), and proceeded to cook a delicious dinner of crispy duck salad and steamed dim sum ^-^. idk these aren't really that romantic but i find that it's the little things that are most important :3

true love: do you believe in love at first sight?

Sun: Close your eyes and think of five things that make you smile when you think about them. What are they?

• Alex • Puppies/dogs in general• My dorky friends (so that includes you)• uhmm like when i think about how awesome space is and how happy i am to be studying it for my degree :3• how much of a stereotypical girl i am, and how little of a fuck i give about anyone who thinks that's a bad thing <3

Jupiter: Is it possible to love someone if you don't love yourself?

Of course! Well, at least I think so... I wouldn't actually know, I've never not loved myself... But I presume that those who do not love themselves are nevertheless perfectly capable of loving others

Nebula: Is it better to have something amazing and lose it or to never have had it to begin with?

Oh, I stand firmly by the old adage that "It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all" or whatever it is - when you lose something amazing, you gain a certain appreciation for what that was, which increases your depth as a person, I think...

Pluto: When you're very scared or worried, what do you think about or do to help you feel better?

Hmmm....I rarely get scared or worried if I'm honest. If I'm worried, I just tell myself that worrying won't do anything at all to help the situation and that what's done is done and what will be will be. When I'm scared, it's usually because there's a spider in the room, so I usually just vacate said room and shout for someone to come and dispose of it :P

Saturn: How would you define yourself, without saying your name or giving a physical description of yourself or your obvious personality?

Jesus fuck that's difficult. "That really hot one who swears a lot" probably. Or "the really hot one with the great fashion sense". Or just "the really hot one"

Ursa Major: What do you find most beautiful in people?

Genuine kindness, the willingness to be good to others

Hydra: What do you find most beautiful in yourself?

My fierce loyalty to and protection of those I love. My strong moral compass. My ability to eat a large dominos pizza all by myself.
