📺 Favorite tv show? At the moment, Our Flag Means Death (shields self from tomatoes being thrown at her 😁)

🕴️ Favorite character? Oof, this is difficult. Gonna have to go with my precious baby boy, Stede

💋 Favorite relationship in the show? Blackbonnet (shocking, I know)

👯‍♂️ Fav sibling relationship in the show? No blood relations but the entire crew is chosen family, so… all of them?

🎨 Favorite art form? Music, with a heavy focus on lyrics/words

⚡️ A talent you wish you had? Being able to draw would be cool

☀️ What is one thing that can always make your day better? My toddler nephew saying the most hilarious things, he's barely 3 and already the funniest person I know

🎬 Favorite fictional character of all time? Atticus Finch (any works he appears in besides To Kill a Mockingbird do not count)

🌅 Dream place to travel to? Thailand or Ireland (either "land" would do, get it? 🧍‍♀️ ...I'll see myself out)

🎈 You’re planning a huge party, what’s the theme? The Masque of the Red Death, get fancy and spooky, bitches 🎭💀

🍕 Favorite pizza topping of all time? All kinds of cheese and extra mushrooms

🥂 You can pick ONE celebrity to have dinner with… Who? Andrew Garfield, {Marge Simpson voice} I just think he's neat

🎥 Favorite movie that you kinda know is bad but you still love? Rocky Horror Picture Show 👄

👖 How would you describe your style? The "I gained a substantial amount of weight in the past 5 years and haven't bought anything new since, so I now wear whatever I can fit into and lots of dresses and skirts cause pants are uncomfortable and shopping for them is a nightmare" style 😬

🖤 Finally, something making you smile this week? My mom's reaction to a present she really wanted, seeing her that touched was soul ascending ✨

----

Next, I got tagged by @deedala, @tanktopgallavich, @suzy-queued and @lupeloto to complete this round of Weekly Tag Wednesday, thank you my darlings! 💙

Name: Lyds

Location: Unknown location in Europe

Astrological Sign: Taurus squaaaad ♉

What's a TV show or movie you plan to re-watch this year? Hubby has never seen Giant, so I'll be rewatching it soon as well as some other classics like Some Like It Hot and Philadelphia Story, I'm sure I'll rewatch Frankie and Johnny for the umpteenth time as well. As far as shows go, I rewatch Our Flag Means Death at least once a month since it's my comfort show, and might do a Shameless rewatch since I've only seen the whole thing once (excluding all the Gallavich scenes)

What's a book or fic you will probably re-read this year? The entirety or The Menagerie by @crossmydna and Honeycomb by @metalheadmickey with artwork by @heymrspatel 💕

What is a song you will likely continue to play on repeat? I've been replaying One Of Your Girls by Troye Sivan for days and don't plan on stopping anytime soon, also still listening to Hozier's entire Unreal Unearth album whenever I'm chilling

What's a tasty treat you look forward to eating more of this year? Gonna steal Ri's answer here and say cinnamon buns, as well as my husband's homemade pizza rolls that I previously mentioned, as they're our favorite thing to eat while binge-watching

What's a time sink that you will continue to sink time into this year? Scrolling this beloved hellsite

Did you pick up any habits in 2023 that you plan to continue? Only unhealthy ones that I plan on ridding myself of in 2024 👋

What's your toxic trait? Inflexibility and freaking out when things don't turn out the way I've planned

What is a coping mechanism you will continue to indulge in this year? Staying in my burrow with my hyperfixations

Tell me something you like about how you look! My full, rosy lips against my smooth, pale skin

Give me at least three adjectives describing things you like about yourself. Honest, open-minded, creative 🌸

I'm out of the loop (which is about to change since I celebrated the last of the festivities today) and haven't been keeping up with the tags lately, but am still going to tag some peeps if you want to do either or both of these: @heymrspatel, @stocious, @too-schoolforcool, @xninetiestrendx, @krysmiss, @sleepyfacetoughguy, @michellemisfit, @whatwouldmickeydo, @vintagelacerosette, @metalheadmickey, @rereadanon, @francesrose3, @darlingian and anyone who sees this and wants to play! ✨

2, 3, 6, 7, 15, 18, 21 💖‼️‼️

HI JULIAN ILY 💖✨

2. Album of the year?

It's not an album from this year, not even close, but Departure Songs by We Lost The Sea. It's one of my favourite albums of all time and one that I come back to very often. It helps ground me when I get too anxious and was a much needed source of comfort for a pretty rough year

3. Favourite musical artist/group you started listening to this year?

I mostly stuck to old favourites for this year so I don't really have a good answer for this one :((( (send me songs you think I'll like!!)

6. Episode of TV or webisode that defined the year for you?

Oof... it's gotta be Moonlight Chicken ep 7. Death, grief, community, support, love, carrying on.

7. Favourite actor of the year?

It's been a year of comfort rewatches for me so once again I'm going with an old favourite that I still stand by - Tatiana Maslany, my queen. In my eyes nobody will ever be able to beat her. If you haven't watched Orphan Black, add it to your list and WATCH IT, even if it's just for her - 90% of the show really is just her so it all works out

15. What's a bad habit you picked up this year?

You and @dribs-and-drabbles have yelled at me about it enough this year (with very good reason, ily you both, thank you for looking out for me 💖) to know that it's my complete disregard for sleep as a concept. I'm hoping to change that this year.

18. A memorable meal this year?

Two highlights!

The first is this espresso panna cotta, shared with my best friend in our favourite restaurant in the town we went to college in as our final meal before she left the country to pursue a PhD. So proud of her, miss her so so much 💖

The second I don't have a picture of, but I learnt how to make tom yum soup (thank you thai qls for the cravings!). Paired with some egg noodles, my ultimate comfort food for this year.

21. What's something new about your place of residence (room, home, or general location) now vs the start of the year?

There has been a tray with about 8 different balls of yarn that has been a permanent fixture in a corner of my room for the past 2 years now - my temperature blanket from 2021. For some reason, it just seemed never ending and I had almost given up hope on it ever being a completed project. But I finally finished it about a month ago and have moved on to different projects. Now it's a cozy blanket that I can cuddle under (and scream into) while I watch my fav shows

(I typed this out listening to Departure Songs wrapped up in this blanket hehe)

✨End of Year Asks✨

✨My opinion on the ESC songs this year ✨

(before rehearsals and stuff)

Albania: I've seen many people ranking it low but I actually like it. By far not my fav but it's still good imo.

Armenia: I really like this one, added it to my playlist. And her live vocals are good, so that's nice.

Australia: Not my cup of tea tbh.

Austria: This song absolutely slaps, I love it. One of my favs this year

Azerbaijan: Also not my cup of tea but I still think it's a good song.

Belgium: At first, I wasn't a big fan but after listening to it from time to time I like it better.

Croatia: This one I really love. It's peak ESC. I wouldn't listen to it in my free time, but for esc it's perfect.

Cyprus: I kinda forget about that song most of the time. I mean it's good and stuff, but easy to forget, for me at least haha.

Czechia: Also one of my favs this year! Been listening to it since they won national selection. Sadly their staging and live vocals weren't that good at the pre parties but I'm hoping they'll improve.

Denmark: Not a fan of this style of song to be honest.

Estonia: It's a good song but not something I would listen to after ESC.

Finland: That is my favourite this year! I love this song so much and Käärijä is also such a sweetheart. It's crazy, it's party.

France: Probably an unpopular opinion but I liked their entry last year more. Song still slays.

Georgia: The lyrics don't really make sense but she can sing live, so that's a plus!

Germany: What can I say? I don't have to be ashamed of our song this year. Finally. I really hope they'll do good with the televote to show the old boring German boomers they were the right decision.

Greece: Even more forgettable than Cyprus for me.

Iceland: She should have stuck with the Icelandic version imo. Would have liked that a lot more.

Ireland: Boring, I'm sorry.

Isreal: I don't really get the hype? There is so much going on, idk.

Italy: I'm a sucker for the Italian language and the Italian entries the last few years so I'm a fan.

Latvia: A really good song. I hope they'll do well.

Lithuania: No, not a fan, although I like the ending.

Malta: I don't know what to think of it. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I absolutely can't stand it haha.

Moldova: I love Pasha and I love this song. Moldova absolutely delivered and I hope he does well.

Netherlands: You can hear the influence Duncan had on it. It's okay.

Norway: I liked Jone a lot more but I think Alessandra was the best pick for Norway to get high in the rankings. The song is very catchy. Personally I've heard the song too much on TikTok already.

Poland: No.

Portugal: At first, I didn't really care for it but with each listen I like it more.

Romania: Now that's a really unpopular opinion but I absolutely love this song. Theodor has an amazing voice for a 18 year old. Pls listen to his ESC medley, it's so good. I agree that the staging is bad but I heard he'll change it for the Semi, so I'm hoping people will see his potential.

San Marino: It's kinda catchy idk haha.

Serbia: The lyrics are very relatable lol. I'm not the biggest fan tho, still hope he does good, I love these kind of entries.

Slovenia: This one is sooo good. I was very sad when Slovenia didn't qualify last year for the final, so I'm hoping they'll do this year.

Spain: From what I've seen people either hate or love it, no in between. I love it.

Sweden: Sorry to all the Loreen stans but I have a problem with her: I don't understand what she's singing. It got better with Tattoo since Euphoria, but it's still so muffled to me .

Switzerland: Nah, don't like it.

Ukraine: I really like this one, especially the revamp with the Ukrainian parts in it.

UK: Too generic for me. But it did get stuck in my head so it did it's job haha.

Very excited for the upcoming weeks and how my view on some of the songs will change 👀

#esc ranking #esc23 #eurovision 2023 #I wanted to do this since forever but I was simply too lazy #Instagram

[bleachellie]

listened 2 every blink-182 album last nite, including the new one, and i rly liked it!! 🤠💕 like, ngl i think i actually prefer nine (and california as well, i Luv california!!) over their older albums now?? 😧

like, apart from their recent albums just being rly good like, relistening 2 cheshire cat and dude ranch.. they’ve still got overall some of my all time fav blink songs!! but some of the other tracks are just.. yikes 😬

anyways 2nite i think i’m finally gonna get round 2 listening 2 green day’s more recent albums, i haven’t listened 2 a new green day album since uno, so i’m rly excited!! 🥳✨

[yonglixx]

oh yeah there's a few groups i like!! of course my ults are skz but i'm also keeping up with ateez, itzy, twice, shinee, day6, and a.c.e :D as for casual listening, i listen to about a million groups but mostly bts, monsta x, txt, nct, red velvet, blackpink, sunmi, somi, chungha, and so on

if i'm correct it should be around 2am right now in your timezone (it's 10am here) so you'll wake up with this ask in your inbox hehe

so i've fully settled on what type of gifset i'll make for you by the time christmas comes around, i'm gonna have to step a little out of my comfort zone but i'm really looking forward to making it for you 🥰 i hope you're looking forward to receiving it as well hehe

and uh can we talk about the incredibly beautiful gifs you're making at such rapid speeds ??? bc i could never 😭 i always sit down with my laptop thinking 'ah, time to gif' and then i never gif </3 i'm especially in love with your felix x star countdown set he looked so good there 😔💘 (who am i kidding he always looks good)

oki i think i have some more q's cooked up in my little brain;

who are you closest to in height? (for me it's seungmin)

you also said you were a new stay in the first ask i sent so i was actually curious on when you started stanning? which, by the way, good choice 😌

and more in general, how long have you been into kpop? what was your first kpop song?

do you own any albums??? if yes, how many? (i'm curious bc i'm always spending too much money on albums and then i complain about being broke </3)

do you have irl friends who also like kpop? (i'm incredibly lucky bc my three closest friends are also kpop fans, one of them an atiny, the other an army, and the last a deobi and moa)

i hope you had a great weekend, sun ☀️💞

— your skzanta ✨🎁🎄☃️

You are absolutely the sweetest like I woke up to this message so your predictions were correct❤️❤️ I am so, so, sooo excited like you really don't have to do anything special but I am so looking forward to my gift and I know I will love it no matter:) the fact that you are doing this for me is enough❤️

Yes, besides skz and bts,I also love Ateez, TXT, and I occasionally listen to NCT 127, Blackpink, ENHYPEN, Shinee (I love Taemin), and some random K-pop recs on my Spotify haha bc I'm still kinda new so I want to know what is out there❤️

I saw the new group, they are pretty young and so good already but tbh, I don't think I will invest in anymore groups bc having three main groups is enough for me. I don't know how people do it like I can't multitask like that 😂

OMG!!! thank you so much for your kind words but you are so right, I make way too many gifs for someone who is going through finals :(( whenever I see anything new, esp with Felix, Im like hes so cute I have to gif that 😂😂 I may have some issues haha

So I like to call myself "fun-size" and I'm probably most closest to Changbin❤️

I started stanning SKZ around the time CHEESE(MV) was released so about 3-4 months now, but it feels like I've known them since forever❤️

My first Kpop song was "MOON" by Jin and ofc, my first group was also BTS❤️❤️❤️

sadly, I don't own any merch yet because im too overwhelmed by everything already and there are so many content of the groups I like that I need to go through first. Like, believe it or not, I'm still watching (and rewatching) Run BTS 😂

I'm also very lucky to have two amazing close friends (ONE OF THEM IS ALSO AN ATINY!!!!!) who love , and who also had a hand in getting me into K-pop but they don't have blogs dedicated to their favs haha nonetheless, it is very nice knowing that I can always vent to them and that we can always jam to K-pop when we're together. My sisters tolerate it and I think they are slowly starting to like it, they just don't wanna admit it yet😂😂

These were so fun and I know I already said it but I always love your questions, you are so lovely and I already love you❤️❤️ I hope you are having a wonderful day❤️❤️

#oh im so excited!!!!! #like it is giving me something to look forward to after these finals :)) #thank you so much for making my morning ❤️❤️❤️ #secret santa #asks #💜
