Omg, that's great! I'm happy you had a nice day ♡ and I hope you can get better soon, because you're a very beautiful and hard working person and you deserve to be happy! I'm glad you like this idea, and I'm excited to play this game, omg!! And the lotus flower is indeed gorgeous and I love the reason why you love it! (does that make sense?) It's so beautiful and hopeful :_ And my answer to your question is: (+)

Apart from the HP saga, my absolutely favourite books are “The forest of hands and teeth” by Carrie Ryan and a book from Agatha Christie (its name in English has the n word :( but i read it in spanish and it’s “Diez Negritos”). the forest of hands and teeth is amazing, I read it many years ago and as a zombie lover, I absolutely loved the book. Also, it’s very beautiful and I cried while reading it :’) (+)

As for Diez Negritos, it was amazing. I read it when I was a child but I still remember it. It’s about ten people (or more? I dont rly remember) who are invited to a house and something happens and they can’t go out. Then, one by one everyone dies, and it’s very interesting to solve the murders by yourself. My question for you is: how many languages do you know? ♡ I love you a lot too!! PD: happy pride day! -your lovely anonie 💞

Awh, I hope you can get better soon, too! Every bit of you is so beautiful and deserving of happiness as well! ^.^

I’m glad you like my reasoning for loving the lotus flower, hehe. xD

Wow, your taste in books is so interesting! :OI actually asked since I wanted to get a better sense of what your taste is, since you expressed how much you like my work! The books you stated actually seem very different from my style of writing, but I think that that serves as a good indication of how eclectic your taste is! Also, I will definitely keep these books in mind, as I am always looking for good book recs. xDI’ve actually never read the Harry Potter series, but I do plan on it because I have heard so many good things about it! I am also a bit of a zombie fan as well! The only zombie book that I have read that came to mind when you told me about The Forest of Hands and Teeth is Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion. Warm Bodies was actually adapted into a film in 2013, and I liked both versions though they slightly differed in a number of ways. Also, I think that it’s really cool that you can read in Spanish! Since you read that book in Spanish as a child does that mean that Spanish was your first language? I want to know the languages that you know as well! I guess this could be my question for today for you. :3

This also relates to your question to me about the languages that I know! Well, as a personal language lover, I am going to say that I know several, though my fluencies in them vary greatly. I know five in total: Tagalog, English, Spanish, Korean, and Japanese. As the first child of two immigrants from the Philippines in the U.S., Tagalog was my first language. I still speak it pretty fluently today. I actually took formal classes in university to help improve my fluency because I feared that my time away from home caused me to substantially lose some of my fluency in the language. I actually surprise a lot of my elders a lot when I speak formally in Tagalog to them because, unfortunately, many of the young Pilipino-Americans here in the U.S. are rather unfamiliar with our mother tongue, which I’m sure is related to the U.S. colonization of the Philippines not too long ago.I learned English as soon as I began school, but I struggled with it at first because it isn’t my first language. However, because I was exposed to it at such a young age, my fluency in it increased so much to eventually surpass my fluency in Tagalog. It’s just something that happened because I had to use English so much to talk to people whenever I was outside of my house. So, I guess you could say I am bilingual in that sense bc I was exposed to those languages at the same time as a child. :3As for Spanish, I grew up in a predominantly Hispanic community, and I ended up choosing Spanish to fulfill my foreign language requirement in high school. I remember I used to be pretty fluent at one point because I was able to converse with my Spanish-speaking friends a few times. But now, I am out of practice so I am not as fluent anymore … But I can still understand a substantial amount of it! I actually understand more than I can speak these days, haha. And I suppose Spanish was relatively easy for me to pick up because the Philippines was once colonized by Spain, so Spanish has very much been integrated within the Tagalog language. Actually, sometimes when I forget the Tagalog word for something, I just say it in Spanish, and it works, lol. English also works too because of U.S. colonization as well. Us Pilipinos actually tell time in Spanish, since the Spaniards are the ones that introduced the 24-hour-day system to us.So, basically, growing up, I had to learn three different ways to count numbers, in Tagalog, English, and Spanish. Wow, okay, sorry for going on about colonization and such … I am just very passionate about the subject, haha. Don’t mind me.Now, as for Korean and Japanese, my interest in learning those two languages came from my consumption of their media, mainly Kpop, Korean dramas, and anime. I am not that fluent, but I can understand more than I can speak. I haven’t formally started learning them, but I tend to pick up new things as I continue to consume their products.

Okay since I gave such a long answer, I hope I can learn more about you too! Maybe in your answer to my Spanish question you can expand a bit more about it? But only if you’re comfortable of course! Remember that you don’t have to share anything with me that you don’t want to, okay. I want you to be comfortable and to know that I want to treat you with respect. :)

I love you sooooo much, and happy pride day to you as well! Even though my works are predominantly heteronormative as a result of my personal experience, I want to say that I am supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. I admit that I am not to knowledgeable of the community as a whole, but I am willing to learn, and I am little by little. What I do know is that this community is marginalized. And I want to say that everyone, you, and all of my followers, regardless of however you identify, deserve to be loved and treated with respect like the beautiful and complex human beings you all are, that we all are.

I hope you have a wonderful day, my lovely anonie. ^.^
