i have three on display, including my korean keycap board (top), my sweet cherry keycap board (second), and my ombre pink board (third one down)

i also have two more which are the ones that i use the most because they're the thockiest, creamiest switches - the blue one for my laptop when i'm writing, the pink heart for my desktop:

cool office thing for (1) like - my Plushie Dreadfuls Rheumatoid Arthritis bunny! he's my little disability mascot 💜

last song - "Come Over" by BTS

current obsession(s) - homemade iced coffee, Arirang full album, BTS always, k-beauty skincare, Peter Han's art, crocheting this blanket, setting up my new writing corner in my office, and my new pink round swivel armchair (ask me about ittttt i'm so excited)

currently watching - a string of my all-time favorite movies likes Knives Out and The Martian (in the evenings, for comfort's sake), BTS' In The Soop (in the mornings, while i walk and do my stretches) and Interview w/the Vampire (just started the pilot)

last thing i googled - "9℃ to ℉" to tell my group chat how fucking cold i was

3 words to describe myself - "afraid to try" (stealing from queerstark here because task initiation failure/executive dysfunction is currently destroying my entire life, and those three words are exactly the source of it)

books i'm reading - just finished yet another favorite jikook fic re-read, but book wise i'm eager to start reading Unmasking Autism by Dr Devon Price, Fluent Forever by Gabriel Wyner, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, Circe by Madeline Miller, and Vengeance Road by Erin Bowman

favorite class at school - art (practical) or english (unit 3)

favorite period at school - school's a bit different in Australia, but my favorite was always the one just after recess because i finally felt awake and it was usually a double period between recess and lunch - i always liked double periods because i felt more confident in learning when i had more time to do it, and because doubles were usually creative classes like art, photography, english, etc

favorite artist right now - for physical artwork: in general i'm obsessed with the art style of Peter Han (and desperately searching for a copy of the Dynamic Bible), but also loving watching kmileu on youtube, and following my favorite jikook artist of all time elsa_draws on twitter

if you mean musical artist? BTS

favorite artist throughout my life - physical artwork: in terms of world-famous artists, alphonse mucha or vincent van gogh. in terms of fandom artists, i worshipped the art of Stephanie Lostimolo when i was quite young, and through fandom years amazing tumblr and instagram artists like kendrawcandraw, lettiebobettie, and hookieduke

musical artist: BTS. honestly, i have felt so much joy in music throughout the course of my life, i spent my teenage years throwing every last cent i could earn at stacks of CDs and cassettes, i devoted my entire personality to music in those formative years - but no single artist in my life has ever given me even a fraction of the joy that i feel in knowing and listening to BTS

(note: i spent a very long time deeply in love with and dedicated to Ani DiFranco, so she gets an honorable mention for shaping my young adulthood, but she falls short in recent years for letting me down more violently than any other hero of mine ever has 😔)

favorite flower - snapdragons always, and flannel flowers for my sister who passed (her favorites), but also lately i have been deeply in love with lotus flowers

i've had an odd obsession with body-suits and leotards since i was really small. i was going to be a dancer - for much of my childhood that was my thing, and i was in classes for jazz, tap, ballet, and classical dance for years until my parents decided it was too much hassle and too much money and they wanted to focus on my brother's tennis career instead

even years after i lost that though, my love for that particular article of clothing remained and was reignited violently i saw Meg Tilly doing a dancer's stretching routine in one in the opening scenes of The Big Chill when i was a preteen. she was so beautiful and had such a gorgeous figure, i wanted to look exactly like that so badly i got out my old dance leotards and was so completely devastated when none of them fit me anymore. i had no reason to ask mum to buy me a new one that fit, no class to wear it to, no good excuse for it. i let it go

as a teenager, my body was suddenly plagued with lipedema (not that i knew that at the time, i thought i was just ugly and fat), so i covered up completely every chance i got, refused to even wear swimwear to the beach or the pool and opted for shirts and long shorts in the water. when i turned 18, i remembered some awful things that happened to me that i'd repressed, and ballooned up to super morbidly obese within a year - and stayed that way for most of my life

now that i'm finally losing that weight for good, now that over 100lbs of that is off and the last 100lbs is well on its way and i am actively taking care of myself, one of the things i love to do is sit on a big, beautiful round mat in my living room and do my vibration plate work, my body brushing, and my skincare routine in the morning with something relaxing on the TV. i realized when i began it that i was not going to be able to do my body brushing on my legs while fully dressed, and i didn't want to sit out there in my underwear - so i decided to be brave, and i bought myself some bodysuits

now i get to wear them every morning, and while i know i'll never look the way i want to in them, i love them more than anything

so the last time i got a tattoo i was in my 20s, and actually all four of my tattoos were done in my 20s, but i've always wanted more and i kept putting it off and off and off because of money and fear and so many other things, and now my brain is like, oh i'm too old i guess? sadface

BUT i've recently kinda looked at my life and looked at what i want to be and who i'm becoming and i've decided i am 100% getting the four tattoos i want starting asap!

the first one is gonna be the easiest to kinda slide me back into the experience when i can afford it, and it's going to be this specific ring design around my right thumb. my sister died when i was young, and she left me her jewellery, which i got most of in a little envelope - but her favorite ring, the one she wears in almost every picture, was missing, so i'm getting the pattern on the ring tattooed 💛

AHH yay!

what’s your favourite kitchen appliance? honestly it's my new blender, it's a Ninja Blendsense and it's amazing it does everything so smooth which - as an audhd texture issues girlie - is so SO important for me. i get so much of my fiber and protein and nutrients from my daily smoothie!

what’s your favourite piece of furniture and where did you get it? right now it's my TT Racing Duo computer chair in Chopper Edition - which is bright pink and blue and lovely 🥰 as someone who has owned nothing but chocolate brown and dark wood/cheap black furniture most of my life, this is my first attempt at letting real colour into my world and i'm hoping to slowly let more & more in as i replace things around my house! i got it over here (honorable mention on this one to my bedframe which is also a bookcase, she's glorious)

what’s your go-to recipe when you want to make something that requires minimal effort? honestly if i'm flaring up it's def something frozen thrown at the airfryer from a distance lmao BUT lately i'm cooking for myself more and more and smash tacos are my newest quick obsession for high protein fast! they take minutes to prep and cook so damn quick. you just season your ground beef with taco seasoning, smear it in a thin layer all over a mini tortilla, cook it meat-side down and then a bit on the other side in a hot oiled pan, and then fold it in half with salads, beans, or sauces in the middle like a regular taco. here's a recipe for a mcchicken version too!

Mine is an old gray rabbit :)

bless! he sounds adorable!

#11 - my most loved plushie - this one's a big ole throwback to some 15 years ago when me and Emily @queerstark ran the asktheanderbros blog! we invented for the narrative a plushie that baby Blaine adored, if you recall, Oop the Orange Dinosaur, and one of my beautiful followers (the lovely @jaylie12!) actually made him for me! he remains to date my most beloved plushie and he's a little wonky and floppy from too many hugs, but still hanging on strong after all this time 💛
