If you could have any view from your bedroom window what would you choose? Definitely a busy street in London. Or Edinburgh. New York. Boston. Near the library where i work.
Whatās your favorite thing to do on a sunny day? Generally Iām not a fan of being outside, especially if itās sunny. But I love milkshakes so cooling off with them on sunny days is great.
What do you consider lucky? The fact that the bad things that have happened to me havenāt been seriously harmful. The series of events that led the people in my life to be in it.
What made you smile today? Eh, itās still pretty early. I reblogged lots of cute Halloween dogs!
What makes you happy? The fact that fanfiction exists and is free, libraries, dogs, audiobooks

To be completely honest, I had no idea where to start with this oneā¦. A lot of these songs are from musicals Iām less familiar with, but I really wanted to include POC and lesbian narratives in this specific playlist. Though thereās a significant lack of female duets in musical theater that pass the Bechdel Test, let alone ones that count as romantic.
Thank Goodness from Wicked
What About Love from The Color Purple
Elaborate Lives from Aida
Changing My Major from Fun Home
Iāll Cover You from Rent
So this one represents the Korra/Asami/Mako love triangle, which I just realized is one of the only true love triangles Iāve ever seen (as opposed to love angles that YA keeps telling us are love triangles). Itās hard to be the Avatar, especially when the public hates you and the two people youāre in love with are dating each other and putting on a face for the media.Ā āLook what we've got, a fairy-tale plot. Our very own happy ending. Though it is, I admit the tiniest bit unlike I anticipated.ā
A beautiful song about two women falling in love with each other. I didnāt know anything about the book or the musical to be honest, though Iāve always been interested in checking it out. This song is so beautiful, I need to see this musical now.Ā āIs that me who's floating away? Lifted up to the clouds by a kiss. Never felt nothing like this. I want you to be a story for me that i can believe in forever. Ā Will you be my light in the storm? Will i see a new world in your eyes? With you my whole spirit rise.ā
In Aida, the romance is between a princess and the captain of the army that invaded her country. They fall in love despite this and sing about the duties that they must hold to, which made me think about Korraās duties as the Avatar and her depression in the final season.Ā āI just want our time to be slower and gentler, wiser, free. Ā I'm so tired of all were going through. I don't want to live like that. Too many choices tear us apart.ā
Okay so this is THE lesbian song and itās so good. The have sex, they laugh and do silly things, they love each other and always want to be together. āYou laughed a little bit at one point when I was touching you. I saidĀ might lose consciousness, which you said was adorable. Iāll have found some dignity, but who needs dignity?Ā Cause this is so much better. I will study my way down her spine. Familiarize myself with her well-made outline, while she researches mine. All sweaty and tangled up in my bed sheets. And my heart feels complete.Ā Letās never leave this room.ā
These two are just too sweet, I needed to have a sweet and happy song on the list for them. They started out as best friends, after all. āLive in my house, Iāll be your shelter. Sweet kisses Iāve got to spare. Iāll be there and Iāll cover you. You are my love, be my life. When youāre worn out and tired, when your heart has expired. With a thousand sweet kisses Iāll cover you.ā
It took an enormous amount of restraint to not putĀ āHonor to Us Allā from Mulan on the list, I hope you know that.Ā
The Confrontation from Les Miserables
All I Ever Wanted from Prince of Egypt
Go the Distance from Hercules
Wait for It from Hamilton
When I Grow Up (Reprise) from Matilda
Javertās obsession with catching this one insignificant criminal is ridiculous, especially when compared to Zukoās banishment on the condition that he find and capture the Avatar. However, this scene is extremely similar in a lot of ways, with Aang trying to talk Zuko down.Ā āAt last we see each other plain. You wear a different chain. Iāve hunted you across the years. Dare you talk to me of crime and the price you had to pay. Wherever you may hide away, I swear to you I will be there.ā
Okay listen. Prince of Egypt has one of the all time best soundtracks ever created and I will fight you on that. Anyway, this song will come up a lot because it fits my favorite type of bad guy perfectly. It especially works for Zuko because heās literally a prince.Ā āGleaming in the moonlight, cool and clean and all Iāve ever know. Here among my trappings and belongings I belong. I am a sovereign prince of Egypt, a son of the proud history thatās shown etched on every wall. Surely this is all I ever wanted.ā
Even though Zuko wouldnāt ever admit it, everything he did for the Fire Nation was with the intention of being loved and admired.Ā āI have often dreamed of a far off place. Where a great warm welcome will be waiting for me. Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face. Iāll be there some day if I can be strong. I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong.ā
Thankfully, Zuko turns it all around eventually and starts taking the steps necessary to get where he wants to be in life. Heās got to make a lot of big changes before he can get redeemed.Ā āMy mother was a genius, father commanded respect. When they died they left no instructions, just a legacy to protect. I am the one thing in life I can control. Life doesnāt discriminate between the sinners and the saints. We rise and we fall. And if thereās a reason Iām still alive when everyone who loves me has died, Iām willing to wait for it.ā
The end of A:tLA is so celebratory and the finale of Matilda comes full circle in the same way. This song alone goes through a journey of kids wanting to grow up fast, adults wishing that they were fulfilling their childhood dreams, and then back around to happiness in the reprise. Zukoās story wraps up with all of his doubts being replaced with positive change and noble accomplishments. āI will be smart enough to answer all the questions that you need to know the answers too. Nobody else is gonna put it right for me, nobody else is gonna change my story.ā
The hierophant, the star, the hermit, the magician
THE HIEROPHANT: Something you believe in
Answered
THE STAR: Someone you consider perfect
Wow um, nobodyās perfect? Heād hate me for saying this, but Lin-Manuel Miranda is pretty high up there. Heās an incredible writer and creator, singer, performer, and musician. Heās dedicated not only to his work, but to creating more inclusive opportunities for others. He wants to educate kids, make Broadway more accessible and affordable, save Puerto Rico. Heās funny, friendly, and adorable. He puts a stop to cat calling and raises peopleās self esteem. Thatās all pretty close to perfection.Ā
THE HERMIT: Favourite way to spend a day alone
Iām actually not the biggest fan of spending my days alone. Even if Iām with someone and we just sit silently doing our own things, I will feel way better about myself than I would be completely alone. But honestly itād be reading more than anything. I wake up and the longest, most emotionally satisfying fanfic ever written has just been uploaded. I read it and laugh and cry while pretty music plays in the background and I occasionally scroll through tumblr. The days after discovering Sansukh were some of the best alone days Iāve ever had.
THE MAGICIAN: Something you're very good at
Uuuugh, you tell me? I donāt feel like Iām very good at anything really. Iām fairly good at writing. Iām somewhat artistic and musical but Iām not that great of a singer or performer or anything. Iām okay at cooking? I love jigsaw puzzles. Iām kind of obsessed with them actually, Iām very good at those?? I get hyperfocused though so I usually donāt do them unless I need to shut down my brain and prevent an emotional outburst.Ā

34) Love or lust? Love. Love love love love love love love, this isnāt even a question.
35) In a relationship? Youāre a loser.
44) In your opinion, what makes a great relationship? My two huge ones are communication and being friends first. I donāt understand how anyone is able to just commit to someone they barely know.Ā
45) How can I win your heart? By having the url @mungoknotwise and sending me self indulgent questions during an askbox game.
26) Are you happy with the person youāve become? This one is deep. Iād have to say yes to this one, I think. 2015 was arguably the worst year of my life and everything about me thatās happened since then seems like an enormous improvement. Sometimes Iām genuinely proud of myself.
36) Define Art. It makes you ~feel something~
46) Have you ever caught a butterfly? Actually I might have lied about strange phobias. Butterflies have always sort of scared me? I donāt know, the idea of any kind of bug is just not cool. So even though I probably have caught a butterfly at some point way back in childhood, I can tell you that tiny me probably cried when a butterfly was near her. And adult me just avoids the things.
I really am obsessed with playlists.... And your poem turned out to sound like a real poem!
