—questions

1. Why did you choose your url?

I adore the cdrama Legend of Fei and Yang Jin is one of my fave characters in it 💕 Cloud Ravine is where Yang Jin is from; it’s got a pretty sound to it, too, and it felt like a perfect simple-yet-beautiful new url to go with after finally taking the leap to change my brand url theleavesoflorien 🥺

2. Any side-blogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them.

@quenyatranslation: pretty self-explanatory haha

@garasham: I’m just a nerd who loves vampires, The Witcher and languages 😌

@ninquenarmo: needed a space to collect all my TW3 screenshots ✨

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

Since October 2011 lmao, so it’s been over 10 years now I guess 😳

4. Do you have a queue tag?

Nope, I rarely use a queue unless I know I’m gonna be away for a long time

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

Pretty sure it all started bc my innocent soul was looking for Drarry content dhsfds, and then over time my blog turned into a multifandom mess 😂

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

I love Cirilla and TW3 💖 Wanted to change my icon to Legend of Fei’s Xie Yun but, since I recently did an entire blog makeover, I figured I should keep something familiar for a while so my followers aren’t completely confused 😂

7. Why did you choose your header?

For mobile - just needed something pretty to fit the colour scheme of my icon 🌸 For desktop - I love my man Lan Wangji very much 🥺

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?

Not really, though I can remember a few super weird interactions :/

15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

I usually ignore them bc they’re not good for my anxiety sdhfs

16. Do you like tag games?

17. Do you like ask games?

For sure! I mean, you only post ask game prompts when you’re in the mood anyway, right? 😊

—writing snippet

Here I decided to combine the “snippet of something I’m working on” and “last 7 sentences I wrote” ask games 🥰✨ It’s going to be fewer than 7 sentences though, bc I don’t want to reveal too much of my story and it’s very short anyway 👀

A dark shape obscured the silver glow of the moon shining through the window’s faded, distorted glass mosaic. It moved closer… closer… until the window croaked on its rusty hinges, giving a strangled squeak as though in warning.   

Gascon was ready.

His hazel eyes gleamed eerily in the darkness as he leapt towards the opening with silent, graceful steps.

—witcher school quiz

Congrats! You're part of the Wolf School we all know and love. There's not many wolves left due to not one but two ambushes against them. However, they are loyal, close knit, and surprisingly one of the most welcoming schools. Though, most of them are not known for getting along with cats - except for Lambert 😉

My school’s actually Crane but, since it probably isn’t even among the results, I think Wolf (or Manticore) fits me pretty well as an alternative! 😍💕

—picrew (middle school vs. now)

Decided to put that one under the cut! Yep yep, middle school me was emo and had black hair with pink and purple highlights fhsdfs bye 😂

hi lexa 🥰🥰 here's a soft matchablossom layout of the fic where 1/2 of the ship dies 🤩

For a few minutes he just stares at Kojiro's profile. The slope of his nose, his lips, the way his eyes twitch as he's immersed in his dreams, messy green hair falling over his forehead, framing his beautiful face. Kaoru will remember the sight of the sunlight caressing Kojiro's face forever, the way he stirs awake when Kaoru reaches out to gently trace a thumb over his lips.
