feel better;  it’s been a long week, not moving from your permanently dark bedroom, your phone forgotten under the bed with a hundred missed messages, but you’re finally opening your eyes and seeing a sliver of early morning sunlight filter in behind the curtains that a mysterious breeze blew open.

daisy chains;  it’s late spring or early summer and you’re dozing with your best friends in the grass, the slow and peaceful brush of the warm breeze keeping you in that state of just waking from a pleasant dream.

songs to run away to;  you’re packing an overnight bag and taking the first bus out of the city. you’re not exactly running away, but you don’t plan on coming back. all you know is that your only goal is to keep on running.

classical jams;  it’s your fancy neighbour’s annual ball held in their gothic castle and you’re getting turnt to tchaikovsky while very deliberately disappointing your parents who wanted you to use the occasion to find an upstanding suitor.

kpop coffee shop;  a sweet and gentle kpop playlist for studying, chilling, and having a generally nice time. it sounds like every nice cafe you walked into that motivated you to finish all your work with a latte.

Divers and Dwellers! Captain here.

Mission Kleio is a-go. Lancaster has all the A/V recording and data retrieval equipment one could possibly need down below.


She’ll be our voice above surface while the divers and I embark on our first excavation. Anyone unfamiliar with our mission should listen to Lancaster’s recordings which will be uploaded to the cloud (link in bio).

Coming soon to Anchor and Spotify.

The Kleio Files: a new pseudo-archaeological podcast by @mirmmaid

Jo, would you like to dance with me? I can’t because… Because of what? You won’t tell? Never. I scorched my dress. See? There. And Meg told me to keep still so no one would see. You can laugh if you want to. It’s funny, I know. I have an idea of how we can manage.

In this house we have chocolate cake for breakfast, and never bother with silly little things like bedtimes, or brushing our teeth.
