ta very much to @methuselaa for tagging me to answer these questions!! 

1. what is your favourite mythological creature? i’ve been v into merfolk and sirens and selkies and kelpies for a while - i love that kind of oceanic gothic thing yk? also, if these count as mythological creatures, i’m fascinated by starseed/starpeople

2. if you could be reborn as another animal, what would you be? mmm i think maybe an orca

3. three songs that you connect with right now? silk - wolf alice, space song - beach house, heaven knows i’m miserable now - the smiths (lmaooo)

4. have any pets? i have two lovely pesky dogs (a black labrador and a tricolour collie)

5. would you rather be in middle earth, narnia, hogwarts, or somewhere else? out of the three, def hogwarts. no contest

6. do you like your name? is there another name that you think would fit you better? caitlin is just an awful name imo. it’s boring and bland and basic and i don’t think it ages that well (so it’s actually very fitting for me). i would lovelovelove to have an astronomy related name, like a constellation maybe? carina or lyra or something. but honestly i’d be happy with like jane or olivia. just. anything but my own name. (my surname is 10x worse though)

7. can you name a few influential books you've read (and maybe why they were influential)? teeth by hannah moskowitz is important to me because it was maybe the first book i read with an lgbt+ protagonist? i think it may have been. northern lights by philip pullman reignited my love for the celestial after a brief affair with the terrestrial. the handmaid’s tale by margaret atwood is a rare dystopian novel with feminist themes and was the gateway to some research on feminism in the 70s/80s. ayoade on ayoade: a cinematic odyssey by richard ayoade was actually quite educational and v funny 10/10

8. what is your birthstone? amethyst!! said to prevent drunkenness in the wearer. (bonus: my hindu birthstone is moonstone)

9. is there an underrated book, movie, show, singer, or artist that you are aware of and wish more people knew about? a film i wish was more recognised is hoje eu quero voltar sozinho... submarine and ex machina aren’t exactly obscure, but i feel like they should be more well know too. as for musicians: black honey, wolf alice, lykke li, superfood, years & years!!

10. is karma real? no, i don’t think so

Thank you so much! <3

Austin: that very specific Yankee Candle Mountain Lodge smell, waking up in the middle of the night and realising you have time to go back to sleep, pines, “you look so seatle but you feel so LA”, sailing over calm waves, sunbathing to dry your skin after a swim, making ridiculous food to watch a movie with friends, the feeling of accomplishment when your phone says it has 1% of battery but it still lasts until you reach home and your charger.

yeeees dark greens are my fave greeens
