31: What my last text message says

41: Where I want to be right now

hi, theo! thank you for the questions 💜

19: a fact about your personality

hm. i'm super shy and quiet, esp when i don't know people.

31: what my last text message says

oh, what a question to ask today of all days. it asks father to let me know what the specialist says re my last 'diary' entry (follow tag to see if curious, mind the cw)

41: where i want to be right now

if you have to perceive me as anything, let it be as an amorphous cryptid adjacent creature of the night.*

living in southeast scotland (via england, france, wales, belgium), speaking english & french, slowly & intermittently learning japanese (spanish and ukrainian are also on my list, but one thing at a time).

the floki pup (~10yo rescue staffie) has been my faithful companion for 8 years. expect pics (when they don't get flagged as mature, thanks dumblr).

i like all type of crafts, history (i study it, or try anyway), reading, writing, art (trying to get back into both and expand my horizons in the latter), sewing (mostly historical non electric techniques), antiques and vintage, all things analogue, linux (still a noob), ... (the list goes on and on, really)

mostly sfw space and none of the nsfw are the sexy kind (that's what sideblogs are for). dark themes and imagery will be present though, so ymmv, especially since i don't always have the spoons to tag things.

i wanna make friends! so please send asks or a dm if we're moots, as my brain won't let me bother you first. signal or email are also good options, just ask me.

*doesn't make sense? i plan to make a post about it at some point. *shrugs*

oooh! hello random person with a random question in my inbox! thank you for visiting and enquiring!

as with most questions asking for a favourite anything, my answer will mostly be: a. it depends on the mood and b. so many choices, so little time!

and since i'm bilingual, it also depends what language we talking about... 👻

for english, at the moment i quite like amorphous.

for french, it's a tie between saperlipopette and carabistouille.

Noise! 🙈💜

Mahogany - let's go on a late night drive together and listen to one of your playlists.

as long as you're the one driving and i hope you're prepared for some very eclectic playlists, let's go!

Pink - biting you biting you biting you biting you licking you biting you biting you

i'm gonna have to bite you right back!

Green - wanna go touch grass with me?

please and thank you! touching grass is good. let's go lie down in a park at night and touch grass while we watch the stars.

You're bubbly and outgoing when you're out with people, but it also drains your energy level a lot..

anon! thank you for giving me something to divert my bored brain, it was going in a dangerous direction! 💀💜

as for your assumption:

well, that was disturbingly spot on. though i don't think i've ever been described as 'bubbly'. but hey, there's a first thing for everything.

only caveat is that it's when i'm out with friends and the ratio of friends vs strangers is higher. as soon as more than a couple unknowns are thrown in the mix, i go quiet observer instead, until i can assess they'll take my special brand of dark and gutter bound humour the 'right' way. (though if they're friends of friends, the chances are high that they will, since my band of misfits and i have the same kind of humour, generally).

and yes, no matter how much i adore them, any type of outing where it's the whole group (or even part of it), is extremely draining. i'm an introvert, so anything more than a group of 3 (me included) and my energy levels go sub-zero very quickly, and if you add my chronic fatigue to the mix, it's worse. 💀 doesn't stop me though, especially since one of our own doesn't live in the same city anymore, so we don't see her often.

thank you again for asking anon darling! 👻

thank you, dear anon, for giving me a bit of relief from my boredom! much thanks! 💜

🐸 Describe your aesthetic.

hm. pastel goth? kinda. more goth than pastel generally. and really only purples. just kinda dark-ish, witchy, with splashes of purple when the mood hits? oh, and with some kawaii thrown in for good measure. because why not. does that actually help? feels kinda nebulous. but then again, that's kinda par for the course.

🦋 Describe yourself in three words.

smol witchy goblin.

🎤 Is there a song you know all the lyrics to?

hm. that's a hard one, because i tend to need the music for the lyrics to come to mind (i have a shite memory), and does that really count then? on the top of my head, i'd say Magic Dance by David Bowie from the Labyrinth soundtrack.

thank you again anon! 👻

Theo! Hello! Thank you for the ask 💜

Five things that make me happy:

Floki! I adore my little gremlin 🐕

The roof over my head. It might be 2.5y since I moved in and stopped being homeless, but it still feels kinda novel and makes me very happy 🏡

My friends, online and not 💜

Finally having longer days and sunlight 🌞

I hope you are happy and that your body and mind give you space to feel good, plus I love the animal videos they always make me smile ^.^ ✨✨✨

dear anon, thank you very much for your very sweet message. i really appreciate it. i know you said i didn't need to answer, but i felt the need of it, as it's been on my mind a lot.

regarding your interaction with my posts, or lack thereof, there really isn't any obligations to do so. indeed, the vast majority of the people who follow me don't. i'd even go so far as to say, that's the general experience for most tumblr users. and that's regardless of moots status.

as for where we stand, whether we're moots or not, i most probably just wanna make friends. i wanna be friends with everyone i follow, or even if i don't follow you really. i've found tumblr to be one of the best online spaces to make actual friends that last outside of it.

that being said, i think you might be taking all this tumblr interaction business too seriously. and i don't really mean you, as in you personally, but you as in at lot of 'newer' tumblr users (generally those that haven't been on this hellsite for approaching 20 years (dear lords under, i'm old)). it's something i've been noticing and you just happen to mention it in my inbox, so here we are (i'm putting it under a read more, so feel free to ignore if i'm being guilty of exactly this right now lol).
