#fuschia billy green

Fuschia ‘Billy Green’. It’s doing great in that container and hummingbirds are supposed to like it. I like the color and its growth pattern contrasts pleasingly with the petunias and begonias.

It’s Billy, boys.

I originally wrote this quite some time ago as a part of chapter 30 but I decided I didn’t need it so it’s bonus content now, I guess. This happens right at the beginning of 30 before Victor gets a call from Phichit. Since this didn’t make it to the final draft, the editing is really lazy. I’m honestly only posting this to get out of working on the next few chapters lol. Also, Billy is definitely a trip, I know. Anyways, without further ado...

Victor had no clue if Yuuri was Red Specter or not. He was exactly where he started. It didn’t change the fact that Red Specter was still very real, no matter who he was beneath the mask which meant that if he couldn’t come up with a satisfactory offer by midnight, it was likely that History Maker would get hit. This was his last (and only) bet, he realized as he got off the elevator a floor below Yakov’s office. This floor, the Artillery and Design floor, always smelled like singed fabric because it was where the super suits were made… but it still didn’t account for the burning smell. Billy, a man with round pink cheeks, a long green mohawk, and coke bottle glasses looked up when the glass doors slid open for Victor. Billy beamed and cheered like a redneck on the fourth of July when he saw Victor. 

“Victor Torch! Just the tight assed hero I was looking for!”

“Billy,” Victor greeted him and the other cheering technicians with a nod. “Is it ready?”

“You bet your wintry butthole, it is,” Billy said and beckoned him closer with a finger. They walked to the back of the lab, passing metal tables and clunky equipment, all of it glinting with a futuristic sheen as he passed. Some of the technicians were bent over sheets of fabric that seemed to be radiating electricity—it made Victor tingle in the strangest way as he passed, while a few of them made alterations to suits that were actually familiar to him. He guessed Spotlight tore their suit recently, when he saw a squat little technician pushing a button on a giant sewing machine for the all too familiar pink ensemble. 

“It’s back here,” Billy said, “for safekeeping.” 

“I appreciate that,” Victor said.

“It’s in good condition,” he commented as he stopped at a long, dark, glass wall at the very back of the lab. He punched in a few codes on a keypad. A rectangle of light appeared a little ways away from them and Billy led him to it. “You were careful, even back then,” he complimented Victor as he took a little remote out of his lab coat pocket. The rectangle of light was actually a door behind the glass, a door to a small closet with a revolving rack. In front was a prototype of Victor’s current suit: black, sleek, and shimmery. Billy clicked his remote and the rack spun around to show the suit Victor had worn two years ago. It was similar, but royal blue instead of black. He kept clicking, letting the suits spin by, each of them taking an era with them as they went. He cringed at a fuschia one with lapels—he was feeling a bit melodramatic then.

“It’s always been a pleasure designing for you, Winter Nikiforov, because you’re not just a man of justice, you’re a man of art. A renaissance man,” he kissed his fingers, “you get me.” 

“I always have,” Victor smiled, lying. 

“Heeeere we goooo,” he sang as they found the suit Victor wanted. He thought it would fit Red since he was much younger when he first wore this. Red was smaller than him. It was black which fit his MO… he tilted his head, unsure as he took in the swaths of revealing mesh across the chest, the sparkling crystals on the shoulders and hips. It was sturdy, he knew that for a fact, and very well made because Billy made it himself. But it wasn’t exactly low-key. Heroes never dressed to blend in. 

And it was a bit…risque. He had to be honest. Even Chris’ suit wasn’t this suggestive and it was Chris. Victor was only nineteen when it was made, when he told Billy exactly what he wanted: something that would make his opponents uncomfortable. He was feeling cocky because he was starting hero training years before what was normal, and he was young… he felt free and invincible for the first time in seven years. It gave Yakov a heart attack at the time and even Lilia disapproved. In the end, Celestino convinced them to let Victor explore… He thought there were still some old newspapers somewhere with him wearing this on the front cover under scandalized headlines...

The fire was back, that sensation that he now recognized as a red light—a sign that something was off. He bit his lip. He shouldn’t think about Red in this suit, even if he was planning on offering it up. It didn’t matter what he looked like in it or what Red thought of it or anything that just crossed his mind, because the only thing that mattered was protecting History Maker. 

There was no mask. That was what was missing. That’s why he felt weird picturing Red in it. Of course he’d feel this way trying to imagine Red Specter’s face… it was confusing, disconcerting, uncomfortable, nerve-wracking, all those things...

“Billy…”

“M’lady?”

“Have you ever considered… making a mask for this?”

“Are we talking Robin style with just the eyes, or are you thinking more of a Batman-exposed-chin thing, or like a full faced Red Specter deal, because the answer is yes, Snowflake. Yes, I have considered making a mask for all of your suits. Why don’t you step into my office?”

“Uh.”

“Just…” he said awkwardly as if he had just realized the entire lab was his office, “look at this.” He pulled out his phone and opened a few files. He scrolled through digital scans of sketches he’d made, all very impressive, and then actual prototypes that Victor was interested in for himself. Of course, his ability gave him the power to disguise his face easily so he didn’t need a mask but… he still kind of wanted one now that he was looking. 

Focus. He wasn’t clothes shopping (unfortunately). He was completing a potentially life saving transaction. He pointed at a full mask with crystals elegantly crowning the area where the wearer’s hairline would be. “You already made this one?”

“You betcha.”

“I like it.”

“Roger dodger,” he whistled a tune and pushed a blue button on his remote. The revolving rack disappeared into the closet ceiling, pushed out by another rack. This one carried pieces that Victor either changed his mind about or ones that Billy started but lost interest in, scraps of abandoned ideas. He clicked the remote so that the rack whirled around until they got to the mannequin heads, some bare and others wearing masks that Victor had never seen until now. Billy pointed a remote at one. 

“Look good to you?”

“Yes,” Victor said, because it did, although he wasn’t sure Red would appreciate something so flashy. Especially not since the thief seemed to gather fashion inspiration from the shadows under his bed. Well, if he didn’t like the design, he could have it altered. What mattered was that it was nano-tech and made with pure Pandora’s Iron. “I’ll take it,” he said. 

“Okey doke, will that be debit or credit, sir?” Billy chuckled at his own joke as he pressed a button to make the glass doors protecting the closet open. He reached up and gingerly removed the mask from the mannequin. “Isabellaaaaaa!” He shouted over his shoulder and a young mousy looking girl came scuttling around a corner. 

“Sir?” She squeaked.

“Can you please get a box for me? Big enough for a suit?” 

“Yes, sir,” she nodded frantically and squeezed her eyes shut. Victor heard a soft whoosh sound and when he looked up, he saw a large white box soaring above him. It glided gracefully down next to Billy who thanked her before she scampered away. Billy neatly packed the suit under the mask before sealing it and handing it over to Victor. 

“Merry Christmas, baby boy,” he crooned.

“Thank you,” Victor said with an impressively straight face. He’d been practicing since he was sixteen, though Billy had gotten progressively more… Billy as Victor grew older. 

“I’m curious. Is this for Yuri?”

“I—what?!” 

“I mean, I don’t really mind if you give it to the little furball because he’s kind of family and we all put up with him but I’m concerned about the whole… accountability thing with Yakov and the red tape and the chain of command is a whole thing—”

“Ah—oh, you mean Yuri Plisetsky…” Victor groaned, dragging his hand down his face.

“Uh… how many Yuri’s are there? Oh!” He snapped his fingers, “that hot doctor from your Instagram! My girlfriend loves him! He’s got this kind of secret-sexy-vixen-by-night-and-sad-puppy-by-day vibe going and it drives her wild. She stalks him like he’s an insta famous kitten or something,” he said with a tone of pride Victor found strange. 

“He’s not a doctor, and...no,” he shook his head, “It’s not for Yuri P. I just want it for... nostalgia’s sake.” 

Billy nodded thoughtfully, rubbing his chin. Then he slapped both his hands on Victor’s shoulders, startling him, “That’s so weird. Have fun!” He called for Isabella again as he left Victor, getting straight back to work. 

He thanked all the technicians on his way out and took the elevator down to the first floor so he could wait in the lobby. He plopped down in a chair and set the box on the floor beside him.

I saw on someone else's post that you offered to show them how to make gifs? I am super interested in making The Magicians gifs so I was wondering if you could teach me as well? Or even make a public post or tutorial or something? Thank you!!!!

Yeah, of course! There are a lot of ways to make gifs, some of them undoubtedly better than what I do. But, for me, I have a couple methods I generally use, one with Photoshop (when I want very specific control over the colors, composition, type styles, etc.), and the other with just a free tool (when I just want to make a gif that looks decent and not sink a ton of time into it). 

I’ll go over the free tool method here; it’s more straightforward and limited, but wayyyy friendlier for someone just starting out. Also, again: it’s free. (But lemme know if you wanna talk Photoshop and I’m always happy to open that giant can of worms.)

One nice thing about gifs becoming the one true currency of the web is that a lot of gif-oriented sites have built gif-making tools in the past couple years and made them free and easy to use, so we can all become gif-producing worker bees, constantly toiling to keep up with the internet’s insatiable demand for gifs.

I use Gif Brewery 3 for mac, built by Gfycat. (There’s also Giphy’s GIF Capture which I’ve used a few times and didn’t hate.) So for the purposes of this tutorial, Step 0: Download and install Gif Brewery 3

So! Now let’s make a gif. Let’s say I want to make some gifs of Margo taking her throne as high king. 

Step 1: Open Netflix in Google Chrome (i.e. not Safari because it blanks your screen if you try to record your screen while a video’s playing) or play a DVD on your computer, or pull up the scene you want on YouTube. Basically get a video of the scene you want playing on your computer screen in whatever fashion you prefer.

Step 2: Open Gif Brewery and select “Record Screen.” Resize the window that Gif Brewery then opens up so that it frames the video, hit record, and then play the part of the video you want to gif.

Step 3: When you’re done with video, click “Stop.” Gif Brewery will then open the video clip that you made in their interface. You can close your browser and the blue frame window. You can see the full clip you just recorded in Gif Brewery. Trim the extra bits off of the clip by dragging the green bar to define your start point and the red bar to define your end point.

Step 4: Resize! Tumblr’s main content box is 540 pixels wide. So if you’re making a gif that’s meant to be full width, you can size down to that width. Make sure “Maintain Aspect Ratio” is checked. (Now’s a good time to also crop if you want to, say, gif only Margo’s face without the space to her left and right.)

Step 5: So now we have something that’s the size and shape of a gif. If you want to add text, now’s a good time to do it. Use the “Text” button at the top of the window to open the Text box. Here you add your text, adjust the font weight, size, color, and border if you’re using one. I’m going to use a Billie Eilish lyric for this example because I’m cliche as hell. 

If you’re making a standard-style gif with a text caption, you’ll use a bold san serif font like Helvetica, with a black border around it to make sure it’s readable, and then keeping it small and centered at the bottom of your gif, like so:

But! if you’re feeling Artsy, go nuts with your font choice and placement. Find a font that captures the tone your message and clip are conveying. You can find a wide range of free fonts on Google Fonts or good old DaFont. I want that badass Margo ‘tude, so I’m using a grungy font and Margo’s signature bright fuschia. Drag the text box to move and resize it until you’re happy with it.

Step 6: Time to fix your colors! Screen captured images basically always look more dark and muted than they should. The fix is to fuss and fuss and fuss and then fuss some more over the colors. Gif Brewery has limited color controls, but as I’ve learned, you can still spend an inordinate amount of time fussing over them. The Magicians makes this an especially good exercise in finding the limits of your patience because they’re always backlighting scenes in a way that blow out your brightness when you try to make even small edits. (Which is why I’m switching over to a different shot that’s easier to work with for this example. Margo’s hella backlit in our gif.)

Exposure Adjust: Increase exposure to make your brights brighter

Gamma Adjust: Increase gamma to make your darks richer

Saturation: Increase to make the colors as rich as they can be

Vibrance: I also like increasing vibrance for even more of a pop of color

Hue Adjust: their hue controls are funky, but you can make some minor adjustments if at this point your gif looks weirdly too red or yellow.

Play around until you find what looks good to your eye. For a gif that’s meant to look like it’s colored normally, watch out for things like: the whole thing looks too dark and you have to squint to see the details; you overbrightened and now the white is blown out and blinding; or you oversaturated so much things look pixely and glitchy. 

Step 7: Open the Settings panel with the button at the top right. Time for more fussing to make sure the timing, frames, and settings are how you want them.

HERE’S THE THING: Tumblr does NOT let you upload gifs larger than 3mb. So everything you’re doing in this panel is a balancing game to keep your gif under 3mb without letting it look like trash. These are the settings you’ll fiddle with most often:

Speed is set to 100% by default. But you may want to slow it down, especially if your clip is only a couple seconds long. Slower means it’s easier to see the subtle changes in a character’s expressions and it makes the action look less jerky. The slower you set your speed, the more frames will be added to the gif, so keep an eye on that.

Frames per Second is what it sounds like. The lower you set this number, the fewer frames you’ll use, but the animation will look jerkier. You want enough frames per second that your animation looks as smooth as a hot knife sliding through butter. 12 is their default. I try to not go lower than 10. When I’m feeling particularly luxurious, I’ll set this to 15.

Color Count: Gifs can use as many as 256 colors and as few as 2, if you don’t care about your gif being an offense to nature. You can set it to the low 200s without compromising on quality, though, so that’s what I did here.

Step 8: Hit “Create” and wait an inordinate amount of time while your gif renders. When it finally, finally does, check the filesize on the bottom right. In the above gif, you’ll see my gif was 2.1mb. Perfect. So I can hit save and it’s done. But if it had said anything larger than 3mb, I’d have hit “Cancel” and then fiddled with the settings some more to get the number of frames down.

Alt-Step 6B: If I want to do anything fancier/artsy-ier/more unique than this kind of gif, this is when I’d usually crack open Photoshop. But there is some room for creativity within Gif Brewery. Let’s go back to Margo and look at some of our options:

In the Filters menu, you can see there are a number of bre-built Photo Effects to play with. Sometimes they look awesome; sometimes they look like trash. So experiment! There’s also rando filters like Halftone effects. And the Color Effects can give you options like adding a vignette, fading the colors to old-timey sepia tones, or creating a duotone like I ended up doing. 

Have fun with it and look for effects that will support the tone you’re setting with clip and text you chose. So like for this Margo example, going black and white, or dark and heavy, etc. would not have been tonally consistent with the badass vibe I’m going for.

And I… think that’s it? At least to get started. Hopefully that helps, let me know if you have any questions! Or want to talk about anything beyond the basics. I’m always happy to dive into the specifics of how a particular effect was made, or how to add more advanced refinements.

As celebrity after celebrity poured out of their town cars and onto the pink carpet for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Met Gala, there was but one I was waiting for: Harry Styles. The youngest co-chair to be chosen for the annual event, and never one to disappoint when it comes to looking freaking spectacular, he would surely blow us all away.

This year's theme of Camp, perhaps more than any other, demanded that celebrities really show out with their fashion choices. Lady Gaga surprised no one by being an MVP of the night, complete with a 16-minute entrance in a Brandon Maxwell look that involved first a fuschia parachute of a gown, which turned into a black, bulbous gown, which then turned into a pink satin number that she had accessorized with rhinestone sunglasses a 1980s cell phone, and over a million dollars worth of jewels. Janelle Monae’s Christian Siriano look featured a blinking eye over one breast. Billy Porter one-upped his own Oscars ball skirt by the power of six men who carried him into the function, queen-of-Egypt-style (him, in a golden-winged number by The Blonds; his, uh, porters wore nothing but golden pants). Jared Leto (arguably one of the more campy male celebrities of our time) took a cue from the 2018 Gucci runway and carried his own head down the carpet. And then came Harry Styles.

The true winner of the carpet (at least in my heart, as this isn’t an event with actual awards) must be him: an icon who is not afraid of some capital-F fashion. Styles put on a full look for the 2019 Met Gala, and he didn’t come to play.

Styles stepped out in a custom black Gucci ensemble that let every man know that suits and tuxedos simply weren’t making the cut anymore. The sheer jumpsuit, complete with lace cuffs and a ruffled neckline, that allowed a peekaboo moment for many of his tattoos, melted into beautifully tailored trousers, which tapered delicately atop his heeled Gucci boots. His hands were, as always, decked out in his signature ring collection, but this time his nails were painted black and a pale teal. On his face, a slight application of mustache stubble and a single dangling pearl earring. To call a look “gender-bending” may be passé, but Styles certainly challenged some norms with this ensemble: Mainly, the norm that men on red carpets should look boring AF.

When asked about his outfit and what camp meant to him on the pink carpet, Harry told Vogue, “I mean, I think it’s about enjoyment and about fun; no judgement. And having fun with clothes. I think fashion is supposed to be fun. And I think it’s a good time for that as well — people being who they are.”

Did we mention that this was his first Met Gala? And he bypassed arriving as a guest to head straight to the co-chairs’ table, no doubt because he continually makes bold style choices we should all pause and reflect on more often? Over the last two years of his solo career, Styles has performed in floral Gucci suits, heeled YSL ankle boots, and the occasional velvet ensemble. Offstage, though his look is more lowkey, he doesn’t shy away from an accessories pile-on, favoring hats and all kind of jewelry-layering. He sees fashion as a form of self-expression, according to his long-time stylist Harry Lambert and doesn’t believe in maintaining gender based fashion norms. In an interview with Vogue UK, he said of Styles, “Harry has always been keen to experiment with fashion and is never scared to try something new.” Styles is, as he said last night, having fun with clothes and being who he is. (And that is: an unabashed icon of style at 25.)

Consider some of the huge-name stars on the pink carpet: Did anyone explain to Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchenexactly what the theme was? Did Kanye West just wake up and think, “It’s just the Met Ball. My Midwestern steel mill chic will do with Kim by my side”? Swizz Beats, while handsome in his green and maroon velvet, played it safe and, like many men before him, opted for a boring suit. Either they didn’t do so much as a quick Google search into Susan Sontag’s “Notes on Camp” before choosing their looks, or they didn’t have the gumption of one Harry Styles to step out in the full glamour that the event required.

And Styles isn't some kind of male fashion anomaly. He's inspiring others in young Hollywood to step it up as well. Cole Sprouse, child star turned Riverdale heartthrob, also graced the pink carpet with a truly outrageous ensemble. Looking somewhat similar to a hot ventriloquist dummy with his slicked side part, Sprouse rocked a sleeveless, maroon suit jacket and pants with floral appliques that were meant to mirror a pair of vintage Ferragamo shoes, as he told Vogue. Both he and Styles make it clear that men can have fun with their fashion choices, and that a night all about looks doesn’t have to be ladies-only.

Harry Styles showing up as he did at the Met Gala, following years of bold style choices, opens up the conversation about what men wear. It’s a crack in the doorway for red carpet reporters and onlookers to excitedly ponder, “I wonder what Harry Styles — or Cole Sprouse, or Chadwick Boseman, or Donald Glover —  will be wearing.” It’s permission for guys like these and any stars to come to continue showing up, to be asked who are you wearing, and to have a damn good answer.

So, is it a stretch to say Styles has, with this one sheer jumpsuit, Changed Red Carpets Forever? Let’s hope it isn’t, because it would be a change for the better.

Kerry Washington Flosses Her Own Golden Globes, Tiffany Haddish, Lisa Bonet & Jason Momoa, J-Rod & More Hit The Red Carpet

The 2020 Golden Globes went down last night, and we've got the red carpet round up you'll need before talking about everybody's lewk last night.  Get into Kerry Washington and her own golden globes, Tiffany Haddish, J-Lo, Zoe Kravitz our Dolemite faves, and more inside.

The 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards popped off at The Beverly Hilton Hotel last night.  While there were VERY few nominees of color on the slate, more than a few still hit the carpet.  As for the fashion - oddly one of the least impressive years we've seen.  But let's get into it.

OK Kerry! 

"American Son" star Kerry Washington gave us bomb face, a bomb bob (Takisha Sturdivant-Drew DID THAT) and a look that had folks torn on whether it was the one for her.

Fab stylist Law Roach slipped our girl into some Jimmy Choos and this sexy black Altuzarra two-piece number with a jeweled harness, no bra and plenty of inner side boob and skin. 

She's a mom of two and makes this MILF life look easy, so we're not mad at the look at all.  A tad bit jealous of the A & B cup hotties who can rock this easily, but we think she's giving us fresh, modern and memorable - the goal of any red carpet slay.

Some folks believed it looked sloppy and simply was not for her, even if it's a gorgeous piece on its own.

        View this post on Instagram

                      A post shared by Kerry Washington (@kerrywashington) on Jan 5, 2020 at 6:38pm PST

  We kinda love it though.

Also giving us fresh & modern perfection:

Newlywed Zoe Kravitz!  The "Big Little Lies" star flexed in her Saint Laurent spokesmodel duties in this super cute mixed print dress.  Usually, inverse color/size polka dots on the top and bottom would give us anxiety, but it works, especially in black & white.  Possibly only a look Zoe could pull off as well.

Her Hollywood hottie mom and stepdad also hit the carpet looking like the hot couple that they are:

Lisa Bonet (in Fendi) and her partner Jason Momoa (in a green velvet Tom Ford dinner jacket and Cartier jewelry) who was presenting last night, showed up looking gypsy fab as usual.  Not everyone loved the Aquaman star's look but we're not mad. Even when he took off his jacket to give to Lisa during dinner because she qas cold (that's why he was only in his tank top folks!). Nothing can make that man look bad.  No-thing.

Tiffany Haddish twirled onto the red carpet as she was on hand to promote her upcoming flick Like A Boss.  Law Roach had his hands full dressing her as well for the night in a pink Galia Lahav gown and Jimmy Choo shoes.

Chile, J.Lo.  Honey.

Never thought we'd see the day when we get physically annoyed by a red carpet look from the ultimate red carpet slayer Jennifer Lopez.  The house of Valentino may have pulled a miss this go-round with this leftover Christmas present vibe of a gown.  We all know she loves to be the belle of the ball with a fabulous princess moment, but this wasn't it.  The hair, makeup and Harry Winston jewels were fabulous though.

The dress was horrid, but her biggest fan A-Rod didn't care or notice.   He wrote her a heartfelt letter on Instagram about how she doesn't need a trophy to make her a true champion. The nominee lost in her category but chick stays winning in life.

          View this post on Instagram

                  Jen, it doesn’t take a trophy, medal, or plaque to identify a true champion. . To millions of young women who have watched you and have been inspired and empowered to do amazing things in their lives, you are a champion. . For countless musicians, dancers, actresses, and performers who have seen and emulate your passion, drive and work ethic to find their own success, you are a champion. . To your children, your family, your coaches, your staff, and your extended family, you are a champion. . To everyone whose lives you enrich daily, you are a champion. And don’t you ever forget it.

  Sweet.

Eddie Murphy's Dolemite film was nominated, so he hit the carpet with his longtime partner Paige Butler last night:

This man doesn't age. 

  Morning Show star GuGu Mbatha-Raw showed up in a very yellow-gold Gucci look for the night.  Not loving it, but she's beautiful as always.  Next up for the British bombshell: Misbehaviour, in UK theaters March 13th.

Dolemite star Keegan-Michael Key and his new wife Elisa Key (nope, it's not his ex wife, he just has a type) hit the carpet together last night.  

Our fave Dolemite star, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, made a statement in a fuschia gown for her big night that felt like life imitating art.

And Wesley Snipes rounded out the Dolemite cast on the carpet looking halfway in character and halfway like himself.

Cynthia Erivo gave us old Hollywood glam as she hit the carpet basking in her Harriet success.

Fab stylist Jason Bolden dressed her in a custom Thom Browne look (that took 800 hours and 11 people to create) and a $3 million Buglari diamond & jeweled necklace for her big night.

  Director Barry Jenkins - whose film If Beale Street Could Talk was nominated for Best Screenplay last Golden Globes - hit the carpet with his significant other, director LuLu Wang.

  Yessss Winnie!  Designer LaQuan Smith and model Winnie Harlow - rocking his design - hit the carpet together.

  He dripped in a custom white Alex Vinash look with custom Jimmy Choo boots and an Emm Kuo NY bag using over 4,000 Swarovski crystals.  Of course.

    "Queer Eye" star Karamo Brown looked dapper in a custom Grayscale black on black double breast silk brocade tuxedo. Werk.

E!'s Nina Parker ushered in the slate of fab red carpet hosts for the night in this golden Melissa Mercedes gown for the big night.  Gorge.

YBF chick Zuri Hall slayed in Jovani Fashions (Jovani! Jovani! *Housewives reference*) and cute curls.

Do you get asks on a regular basis: Yes. However, it depends on how socially active I am myself at the moment. As it has been now, I haven’t been as social as I used to, so the inbox has been updated with new messages less often. But when I am social, I often find new messages in my inbox at least a few times a week. That is, when I have time and energy to chat with other people.

Aesthetic: 80s pop fashion, new wave, black mixed with pastels and bright colors, sparkly jewelry, glittery snow, warm beds, scented candles, glow sticks, tea, birds, and lots more. 

Star sign: Cancer

Last thing I googled: “Albeit used in a sentence”. I want to improve my vocabulary, so I often google new words I’ve found, and try to figure out in how they can fit into different sentences that makes sense.

Favorite music artist(s): Emily Autumn, Billy Idol, The Birthday Massacre, Lindsey Stirling, Concrete Blonde, Kate Bush.

Do you have any other blogs: Yes, but I’ve barely used them. I have one inspiration blog, in which I reblog different nature photos as an archive for inspiration when writing, which I think I’ve set to private. I haven’t used that one in months. And a Jack Frost RP blog, which I’ve barely used either, but intend to go back to eventually. And an art blog which I don’t know if I’ll ever use much.

Why did you choose your URL: Eh in my teens that was my username on social medias, and I just stuck with it. I think evening is the best time of the day, so that’s how I came up with it. 

Average hours of sleep: 7-10 hours.

Lucky number(s): 4, 6, 7, 12

Favorite character(s): Jack Frost & Pitch Black (RotG), Link (TLoZ), Anduin Wrynn (World of Warcraft), Max Caulfield (Life is Strange).

Number of people I follow: 156
