#tagalongs

was tagged by @alien-onyx. tagging... @turoce. @rna-world. yay okay let's do this

1) what's the origin of your blog name?

i do this thing where i insert or add the name 'kel' into words. like 'sadkel'. out of the three science subjects i was learning, i liked chemistry the most. i took the word 'alchemy' and 'chemistry', mashed them together, and you can figure out the rest

2) what's your "i will always order this" food?

i struggle to eat food. one food i can finish is this mixed vegetable rice with fried egg that my family orders for dinner from time to time... one time i ate this for three dinners in a row. it's probably that

3) what's your overused emoji?

skull 💀and smile 😀. 'i am at my limit' every time i use the latter.

4) what's your current comfort book/show/movie?

wander over yonder is my comfort show. but if you're really talking about my true comfort media then i will shoehorn outer wilds into your feed.

i guess silksong has been rather comforting recently. i can suck up a silksong challenge video without any regrets 👍

5) song you've had on repeat this week?

i haven't been listening to songs this week because i got distracted by pokémon. i'm trying to consume music in a more mindful manner (and that means trying to listen to different albums and genres. and i don't finish them each time. 'casual' by chappell roan seems nice.)

6) what's the last thing you fixated on?

currently it's pokémon. last thing was.... was..... silksong i guess???

7) what's an oddly specific thing that brings you joy?

oddly specific things are the gateways to joy. i love seeing bus stops every time i travel across the country because each one is different... whether it's built to look modern/traditional, or when it just isn't well maintained... it's just nice.

also, my friend's blue bucket that's outside their house gate. there's a story behind that which makes me giggly

8) what smell instantly makes you happy?

i struggle to describe smells, but it's something like.. hm, the perfume my 'qpp' uses? or whatever smell the things they give me have. things with them might be rough now, but my memories are evergreen. i choose to interpret them how i want.

9) what's your phone wallpaper right now?

for the phone i use tumblr on, snufkin fanart for my home screen and one of my instagram mutual's illustrations (it has a manta ray!) for my lock screen.

10) are you a morning person, night owl, or something else entirely?

probably a night owl given that i'm typing this at 2am instead of sleeping. but i've been trained to be alert in the morning too. i can say that i am not an afternoon/evening person, it knocks me out cold.

11) if you work, what is your work profession? and do you like it?

RULES: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous and tag as many people as you have WIPs. People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then you post a snippet or tell them something about it.

Note: I do not properly name my files.

Ahem! The people I'm tagging? Uh. Let's say. Uh. Let's see..

Friendly friend that friendlyly tagged me in a friendlyable way: @alkhelmist

Mutuals I am tagging: @aliasmisc @mrsponio @shootingstarfishemyr @gr4nberr13s @viridlamb (yikes I need more tumblr moots. I swear I have more moots, they're just on tiktok ;_;)

Last book read: Personally, A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers is genuinely so good. It's about this non-binary tea monk that goes out into the world to give out advice or something, but eventually finds themselves in the wilderness where they have an encounter with a robot. Its really philosophical and a whole journey of self-discovery for both the human and the robot. It's just such a beautiful book. I need to get to reading the sequel which I recently found out existed. The actual last book I read was The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho for school. I actually really enjoyed it.

Last TV series: PLURIBUSSSSSS. LORD I AM SO OBSESSED. The whole premise of it is so interesting. Like, hello??? A depressed lesbian trying to save the whole world from a hivemind??? I'd eat that up in a matter of seconds. I don't want to spoil much, but yuri does happen soooo 🤭

Last film: Thunderbolts. I actually started watching it around May or June after AP tests finished. My teacher put it on and we got through two thirds of the movie before our teacher stopped because everyone was too locked in on watching it rather than completing our end-of-year project. I finally finished watching the last part several weeks ago. I liked the movie. The shadow effects were really sick and the whole thing about experiencing your worst memories and fears is very TMA coded.

Last song: MAD - Caravan Palace. It's such a banger oml. In general, the Gangbusters Melody Club album is my favorite from Caravan Palace, second to Panic. The music video for it is so Caravan Palace. It also marks the second time they've used a pole dancing animal in their music videos?? I Want Things to be Beautiful is another song I've had on loop recently. It has this certain mood and tone I can't really put to words that I REALLY love.

Last game: Meleeniacs on roblox. I just recently got into it and its super fun. The character designs are so peak. I currently play as Matador because they are so beautiful to look at. I really bad at the game, but whatever, I just joined. It's either this or Phighting. As a level 159 Hyperlaser/Sword main, I either cook or be cooked. I've had rounds where I carry my team and earn like 12+ kills and I've had rounds where I have a losing streak of 15+ rounds. I yearn to be those players who are level 200+ that make you hopeless the moment you see them on the opposite team.

Coffee or Tea? : None. I do not like caffeine at all as it utterly destroys my sleep schedule, and I don't like tea all too well. I am a proud water enjoyer. Either that or milkshakes.

Sweet or Salty? : SALTY ALL THE WAY. I am known for not liking anything sweet. The only sweet I prefer is fruits. Though I do eat some candy, I can only handle a handful before I start getting sick. Salty on the other hand....I tend to add a little too much salt when I cook my spam fried rice...I'm like that one website with the pugs liking the screen for salt. You can catch me eating ramen, udon, chow mein, pacit canton, and basically any other noodles from asia. I also LOVE spicy foods, to the point where my tolerance for spice is scarily high. Buldak x2 is nothing to me anymore. I've had so many moments where my parents are dying from the spice of chicken biryani, and I'm there like "...wait. It's supposed to be spicy?"

Working on: A lot of things. A webtoon that I haven't started advertising yet, but has several episodes out already. holy moly @aliasmisc, this is completely unintentional, but our premises for our creative projects are scarily similar. That has been the reason I've been putting off advertising it anywhere because I feel really bad 😭. I was reading some of the lore of your world, and my heart SANK.

Besides that, I need to work on finishing that one animation I uploaded here a while back. Along with those things, I am working on art for a new D&D campaign I just joined. Salem, my beautiful baby boy.
