for the astrology ask game taurus, sagittarius aaand 9h ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

Hallooo!

Okkk let's see:

-Taurus: mhh sushi and pizza....but I love fruit more than anything. Especially that kind of super sweet grape used to make wine *smuah* and apples. And lemons, I love lemons.

Also jelly, it doesn't matter which kind of jelly I just love it a lot... God I want some jelly now whyyyyy

Hmm idk I love food it's one of the best pleasures in the world. So yeah idk I love all the food ✨️✨️ I will be the joy of your grandmas, I will never deny them.

- places I'd like to visit in the future:

Ireland and Scotland: please they're beautiful and so rich of history and things to see and the nature and and-

France: I love France a lot... and admitting this just made me lose my Italian citizenship. I also hate it for its politics and many other stuff... but God isn't it beautiful.

Mexico! I've wanted to go there since I was little! My parents went there for their honeymoon, I fell in love with it when I watched the "Beverly hills chihuahua" movie (you can laugh ahshfhfhfh) and the culture and places look so interesting and beautiful to me! And I know about all the problems etc but still a beautiful place that deserves to be seen and treasured imo

Japan: I am very curious about it. More than the cities I'd like to visit the countryside, the semi-forgotten spots, because I've seen some pictures and it's absolutely breathtaking.

Greece: THE HISTORY! THE ART! THE CULTURE! THE ISLAND WITH THE CATS! Please I could finally see all the things I studied/am studying!!!!

Spain: I'm going there just for "casa batllò" and anything touched by Gaudí, because my love for that man is endless.

Whatever place has more examples of brutalist architecture. I love brutalism. Talk to me about brutalism. Best architectural style ever and I'm dying on this hill.

9h- what languages would you like to learn

ALL OF THEM. No seriously, I love learning new languages and unlocking new thinking patterns (it comes with the package!!!). Atm I can speak fluently Italian and English and with a bit of practice also Spanish (I haven't practiced it for the last 2 years and I'm a bit rusty with the speaking, but reading and listening I'm fine).

But also I want to learn French and German, they're my top priorities.

If I get the occasion I'm going for Russian, Chinese and Japanese too! Haaaaah if I hadn't chosen Art (and writing) as my main passions I would have chosen to study Languages and Etymology!!

ALSO SIGN LANGUAGE (idk which one but the feeling is there)

#thanks for the ask!#steel answers #please people speak in foreign languages with me other than english #my answer will be cranky as hell but I'll have so much fun!!!#also I'm personally mad with Spanish and English because WHAT DO YOU MEAN HAIR/PELO IT'S A SINGOLAR NOUN #“i capelli” in italian. plural. every time i talk about my hair i refer about it as “them” and i have to go back and correct it ahshdhfh #i miei capelli sono corti/my hair is short #or spanish: mi pelo está corto/mi cabello es corto #like omg whyyyyy #WHY ARE YOU SINGOLAR #also spanish and its thousand ways to say car “carro/coche/auto/autómovil” ahshhdhffhf #don't worry i also hate italian a lot #and english #idk probably it's a love/hate relationship with languages #fuck it we're communicating with ultrasounds from now on

@illfoandillfie turns out I never actually learn my lesson when it comes to men and work.

New job been at it for I wanna say a month at the time, was friendly with the people I had to deal with up in GC. Had a Teams meeting with his boss, my boss, the CEO’s son and him - First thing I thought and messaged the only other girl in our office?

Fuck, he’s very attractive.

I message him about work stuff maybe 2 weeks later on his mobile (didn’t really think about it being his work number, oops).

Starts messaging me, not about work. We’re very flirty, in a fun SFW way (thank fuck). He asks if I have a work phone, I tell him that it’s my personal.

He says, I feel bad for you having to take work calls on your personal so you can have mine. I tell him wow, so generous. He shoots back, “Well I’m in a generous mood”. Fuck.

We message, I wanna say, almost 24/7 for two weeks. He says he’s coming down to Melbourne before the end of the year. We flirt and laugh and we talk about things we’ll do in concept.

“Okay well let me revise that statement, I would like to go with you”.

We message a shit ton more, we flirt a lot.

We talk about dating and he mentions how his last girlfriend was South African (with a few other shared traits) like me with the 😳 emoji. We talk randomly about religion and sex before marriage - he brought it up, not me!

We joke about him booking a flight to come down asap if gave him my spare ticket to the Arctic Monkeys (my sister had already claimed it). We giggle about me planning a trip up to GC in May, for his birthday and not being willing to actually see him.

He asks me about the best areas to stay in Melbourne. He says he’s found a few really good airbnbs while we’re messaging.

We flirt a whole lot more. He tells me to come work up in GC instead of Melb. He’s “just saying….”

And then something happens and it fizzles.

I ask him for the CFOs sons personal number because A had crashed a girls dinner and paid for everyone without saying a word - I knew they were friendly because he had joked that A would be happy to take him out instead of me, when he came down to Melbourne.

He can’t come down for personal leave in December anymore - he’s thinking Feb now. But he’s still hoping he can come down for work.

Messages slow down, we joke that’s he’s flirting with one of the girls up in GC, but I get the feeling he’s not joking, not really - but not my problem, we’re just chatting.

I try to resurrect the conversation, works for a little bit but he’s not putting in the same effort and I get frustrated and mute our conversation for the rest of the weekend.

He gets grumpy and doesn’t respond after that.

And now he messages me on his work phone about work and that’s it.

I still want him to surprise me at work, with that imaginary work trip, but the weeks almost half way done and then December’s over.

I know, I’ll end up be heartbroken if he actually does come down in February and doesn’t tell me or if I hear about it from A once he’s already gone home.

I don’t think I was building things up in my head this time. But I’m not going to put myself out there again, just to get hurt.

But yeah I just thought I’d update you with my crappy relationship woes.

#the man deserves his own post #he doesn’t need to piggyback of Joshua’s #we messaged an actual fuck ton #like I couldn’t even get to the beginning of our conversation #and he’s sweet #and English #The ACCENT #and gave as good as i did #I would have done long distance for him #I probably would have even moved for him #I was not subtle at all #my boss is/ was so suss #it’s hilarious #but fuck #this fucking sucks

I misread lamb as lamp. I proceeded to spend a full minute trying to force ‘lamp’ to work there. It doesn’t sound long, but I read fast. Supposedly.

Of course it didn’t make sense. I learned in kindergarten that b, p, d, and q are somehow different letters and how to guess words based on context clues. Kindergarten.

It took me a. whole. minute.

It’s so obvious! If lamp is nonsensical and lamb fits neatly, knowing those words look identical in typeface should make everything clear. But nooo, I apparently can’t read.

#i hate dyslexia #it’s so annoying #and english #i’m blaming the whole language #pick different letters #dyslexia

1847, Lucknow, India

“Please Mama? I’ll be a good girl I promise, pakka, pakka, pakka!” Asha begged one august night, as her mother shook her head.

“Let her go cara, she needs to experience the world she needs to grow up in, sooner or later.” Her father spoke up.

“And let a six-year old go by herself into a bustling city full of strangers doing bhagwan jaane kya? Not a chance.” Her mother replied firmly.

“But I wouldn’t be alone, I’ll be with Papa! Please, Ma?” Asha reasoned. She could see the gears turning in her mother, and saw the exact moment her resolve crumbled.

“Fine, but I want you to finish your school work on the trip. I will not be wasting time at home. You are one of the only girls who get to school, and I better not see you wasting that privilege.”

Her mother had been opposed to her going to school in the beginning, but once her father persuaded her, she would accept nothing but the best from Asha. Asha often thought how it would be like to be Shyamala, their neighbor who didn’t go the school and spent the entire day running wild.

Asha huffed, but nodded, and in five minutes was in front of the horse cart with her bag slung over her shoulder, her father helping her climb it. She grinned as she made herself comfortable on the cotton bags, she was finally going to Delhi.

***

Delhi was all she expected, and everything more. It was a bustling busy marketplace, and she sunk deeper into her father’s side as people stared; a white man with a brown daughter wasn’t a usual sight there.

Asha smelled the scent of the sweet perfumes wafting from the shops, the sharp tang of spices in the air, the clop of hooves heard dimly blending with squawks and the bleats. Her father stopped the cart near a shop as a man came out, smiling good naturedly.

“Salaam Anthony ji! Phir wahi saaman?” the man with the strange cap on his head greeted.

“Ji.” Her father replied back in Hindi, having seasoned it over the years.

“Bas aur lauki add kar dijiye ga.” Asha scrunched her nose at that. She did not like bottle gourd. The man started, having just seen her pressed into her father’s side.

“Wah! Aaj to gudiya bhi aa nikli!” The man smiled at her.

“Hanji. Bahut jyada ki demand karti hai madam.” Her father poked fun at her, as he reached for the vegetables and fruits they needed to get them for the next month, giving the man some coins.

“Alvida gudiya.” The man waved at her, and she waved back.

As they walked back to the cart, her eyes caught onto something. She pulled her father’s sleeve, and motioned to that stall, pulling him along as she ran there, scared that someone else would take her treasure. Asha crouched down, and pulled out a book. It was a black book with gold engravings, and little dots which traced out a pattern. She was just beginning to learn English, and stumbled over the title.

“T-th-the S-sky At-atlas.” She read aloud and looked to her father, silently asking if she could have it. Her father laughed, and proceeded to buy it for her.

“Do you know what these are tesoro?” He asked later, when they sat comfortable in the cart, the beginnings of sleep lulling over them. Asha shook her head.

“These,” he traced over the dots, “are stars. Do you want to learn about them?” She nodded excitedly.

“Well, then I suppose, we’ll have to continue teaching you English through this. But this will be our little secret, okay candessa?” But as he looked to her, he saw that she had already fallen asleep, her head bent toward his arm, hers clutching her beloved treasure close to her self.

-------------------------------

hello! slight note here + translations

Anthony is English, but has Italian lineage, so he speaks both Italian and English, and so does Asha. Also, Asha’s arc (for the time being) is centered on her being in India, so a lot of Hindi will be used, but rest assured, I will be attaching the translations for both the Italian and Hindi parts.

I don’t speak Italian, so the pet names are all from a fic I liked and the meanings are from there as well. If a native speaker wishes to correct me, and would like to help, I would be ever so grateful.

I will try to update daily, with Asha’s and the Mysterious Boy’s POVs on alternating days. The Boy’s name will not be revealed yet for plot reasons, but I’d love to hear you thoughts! :)

This book is also majorly based on ‘The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue’ by V. E. Schwab, and is largely inspired by it, with a twist of my own.

TRANSLATIONS:

pakka- absolutely/promise (informal)

cara- dear

bhagwan jaane kya- god knows what

Salaam Anthony ji! Phir wahi saaman - Hello Anthony sir (not sir exactly, more like respectfully, used for elders or important people)! The same things again?

Bas aur lauki add kar dijiye ga - Just add more bottle gourd please.

Wah! Aaj to gudiya bhi aa nikli! - Wow! The doll came out today!

Hanji. Bahut jyada ki demand karti hai madam - Yes. The madam demands a lot. (said teasingly, and not the exact translation, same for any other sentence/phrase and there is a language disparity)

Alvida gudiya - Bye doll

tesoro - darling

candessa - candle
