6-28: "Everywhere You Look" update

6-29: "All the Magic We Made" update

6-30: A fun little Bellarke strangers to lovers oneshot

7-1: "You're so Gorgeous (it makes me hate you so much) update

1. Why did you choose your url?

My username is so weird lol I get asked this all the time and I wish I had a better answer but I literally just love videos of those hairless cats taking baths. I also think the word nakey is really funny which pretty much tells you everything you need to know about me. I didn't plan on posting fic when I came up with this name and now I'm too attached to it to change it to something practical or more poetic.

2. Any side blogs?

None currently but there are some old ones lingering around...

Somewhere out in the universe is a hipster blog filled with poetry and short stories about boys who didn't like me back in high school but it is long lost and I have no idea what it is called. It is probably a repurposed to scam people into clicking RayBand Sunglasses links by now. There's also a really really old Dramione fic blog running around somewhere that I used when I wrote in the Harry Potter fandom.

No need to talk about my "fitness" blog that was basically thinly veiled orthorexia

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

I think since just before the height of the popularity so like 2010? I fell out of it with everyone else and was really pleasantly surprised to find that people are still hanging around here when I came back two years ago haha

4. Do you have a queue tag?

No. I'm highly impulsive and a terrible planner. If you see posts on here, I am here haha I don't have that kind of foresight.

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

Honestly I have no idea, I was having a tough time and wanted to write and the rest of this has just been a really happy accident.

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

It's real cute isn't it?! It's so hard to find aesthetic faceless pics with brown skin so I had to take the opportunity. It's just so vibey, isn't it?

7. Why did you choose your header?

Yellow is such a joyful color!

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

I'm not very tech savvy I have no clue how to figure this out? It's probably a moodboard of some kind! I'm not big on text posts haha

9. How many mutuals do you have?

I have literally no clue. But I have made sooooo many truly incredible friends on here. I'm infinitely grateful for all of them. Y'all have become such a genuine source of joy and support in my life, I truly cannot express how much you mean to me.

10. How many followers do you have?

982 and I suspect a significant percent of those are porn link accounts and spam because at least one of those follows me a day. Idk what the point of follower counts on here is, but I love all of you, even the Pornbots. This account is also super old so some of them might be dead blogs too.

11. How many people do you follow?

589

and none of you are pornbots and I love y'all even more.

12. Have you ever made a shit post?

I've made crackposts?

13. How often do you use tumblr a day?

I notoriously hate my phone and I have this app that lets you grow a tree if you don't use your screen. It's very cute, I grew 5 peach trees today. But long story short, it's not super often, maybe once a day. I try to check notifications every day though because I do absolutely love interacting with y'all.

14. Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog?

Hahahah I wish I was bold enough to do this because I've been tempted to do it more times than I can count but conflict makes me squirm and also cry. I do get intensely annoyed when I see tone-deaf discourse about mixed race people though so I'll always go to bat for that one.

I did lose my shit one time and tagged something as "nakeycats has fucking snapped" which haunts me in my tags to this day and makes me laugh now.

15. How do you feel about the ‘you need to reblog’ posts?

I get it. I mean, I'm not one to tell people what to do and I don't always love the tone it takes on but the general sentiment of it isn't unfounded. There has been a general shift away from reblogging even though it's the only way content gets traction on this site. From a content creation standpoint it's disheartening to put work out there and know that nobody is seeing it. So much love and work goes into writing and it really does suck sometimes. That said, people are going to do what they're going to do, it's not going to stop me from putting work out there.

16. Do you like tag games?

I adore tag games! I love everything about them! Every time I get tagged in one it's like "me? really?" and then I consider us to be besties haha.

17. Do you like ask games?

I really like them and I used to love doing them when we did BWC! Some of the games get hard to keep track of now but this was such a good way to meet people and I'm grateful for it. That said, I LOVE ASKS. If you ever need to vent or rant or tell a joke or chat or practice your emoji usage HMU I'm always down.

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

Is Tumblr famous still a thing? I would probably just tag my friends in this since they're all famous to me and I'm convinced a lot of them will be famous one day for writing or creating in some way ( @stealing-jasons-job and @queenemori specific point to you in particular)

I will give a special shout-out to @burninghoneyatdusk because I was a massive fan of her writing and then we became mutuals and I was like "omg!! the author of this fic love! A star is following me back!" haha so that was a fun moment when I was first dipping my toes in the fandom and it did feel like someone famous followed me. Also she is rad and very humble considering how talented she is.

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

I can't even bring myself to have a crush on someone in real life.

Plenty of friend crushes though.

20. No-pressure tags:

Aesthetic Tag Game ☀️

take some time to reflect on everything you like about yourself, some of your favourite things, quotes that stuck with you, or anything you like that reminds you of yourself, and make an aesthetic/moodboard with it just like you would for your favourite character. this gives us a way to think positively about ourselves and to get to know each other better at the same time!

Tagged by the lovely @burninghoneyatdusk 💛 I love the message behind this tag it’s so thoughtful and lovely.

Omg I love you thank you so much!! This made me smile so big and honestly means a lot to hear.

Figured I should mention, I’ve sucked about updating The Proposal, sorry y’all! I’ve been trying to figure out where the story is going to go and it’s been a process. Too many ideas and directions!! I think it’ll end up being my longest fic to date if all goes according to plan. But an update should be coming shortly, I have a few one shots rolling for the BLM fundraiser that I’m working on rn but I’m plotting the proposal as we speak!

A note

I get a lot of mean DMs about trying to make things seem happy all the time and that life is not cute and perfect. And like...I know this?

Being positive, intentional and kind is a choice.

Every day, we all are given and blessed with an opportunity to be decent. Not good, decent. Life is hard, it’s tough on everyone and we all endure things that chip away at our hearts. Appreciate the people in your life, people who make the hard times easier and the good times more meaningful. Be nice to people you don’t know because it’s decent and we’re all human and everyone deals with their own burdens. There’s a lot of significant days for mental health in this month, days for awareness and activism. And I think that’s great—but part of mental health advocacy is also providing people with grace, not actively working to make the lives of others more difficult than it already is.

I post things that seem mindless and happy because that’s what makes me happy and I hope it brings joy to others in some way. That’s not everyone’s cup of tea, I understand that. But if that makes you angry in some way, I want you to consider why it makes you angry? Give yourself some grace too.

Tagged by: @changingthefairy-tale aka one of the loveliest people I know

Rules: Tag 10 people you want to know better

1. Relationship Status: Complicated. I’m in a public health crisis induced long distance relationship which has been...terrible. But for official purposes I have a boyfriend.

2. Favorite Color: yellow aka the happiest color and also baby pink

3. Three Favorite Foods: Sushi, avocado toast, oven baked Mac and cheese

4. Song stuck in my head: Blu by Jon Bellion I’ve been on a huge kick on his stuff lately and I’m totally obsessed.

5. Last Song I listened to: Truth Hurts by LIZZO it was my finish line song for my run today, absolutely immaculate vibes.

6. Last thing I googled: “Mormon mom Rainbow Sprinkle Cookie Recipe” I spent the afternoon making cookies to mail to my baby brother at college haha I’m obsessed with Mormon mom blogs Bc they always have the best recipes. They are very liberal with the butter and that is the way I like my cookies best.

7. Time : 11:53 aka past my bedtime I am an old person in a young body

8. Dream Trip: hmm this is tough Bc it’s a toss up between places I want to visit and love or somewhere new. But I have three because I don’t know how I would decide. I would love to go to Paris with my mamá and see all the sights with her. My family was also supposed to go on a safari in South Africa this summer and it got cancelled for obvious reasons but that’s a place I want to visit so badly. And lastly, my family is originally from Colombia, I’ve only been a handful of times when I was a baby but I would love to go and see where my Abuela was born and eat real authentic food.

9. Anything I really want: So many things...this is such a tough question. I want to write an unapologetically sappy book full of beautiful scenery and a compelling Latina main charater, to write a realistic love story that Latina girls have to hold close to their hearts. I want to be a lawyer. I want lots and lots and lots of kids, adopted and biological. Just a simple life full of love, perhaps a farm close to my parents and siblings, a few cows, a chicken, maybe a goat, raise my kids close to family in a place where they can dig their bare feet in the dirt and roll in the grass.
