💖 What do you like most about your own writing?

😐 What embarrasses you most about your own writing?

ngl my attempts of just making the characters MOVE are absolutely ridiculous why is it so hard to just describe actions oh my god

fics ask game!

omg i’m so flattered you’d think i read anything but fanfics and manga ksjdskjds BUT but . i’ve read kitchen by banana yoshimoto last month and it’s really nice. i like the themes of cooking and food as love, as communion a lot, so i really loved the book!! (it’s mostly about grief actually. but the elements of cooking for and with someone, the food, the whole affair of it is intrinsically part of the story). on earth we’re briefly gorgeous by ocean vuong is also Really good.

if you’d like ya lit stuff, the six of crows duology by leigh bardugo is still my fave ya lit series

1. “the world begins at a kitchen table. no matter what, we must eat to live. […] it is here that children are given instructions on what it means to be human. we make men at it, we make women. […] this table has been a house in the rain, an umbrella in the sun. wars have begun and ended at this table. […] perhaps the world will end at the kitchen table, while we are laughing and crying, eating of the last sweet bite.” (joy harjo, from ‘perhaps the world ends here’)

2. “all bread must be broken so it can be shared. together we eat this earth.” (margaret atwood, from ‘selected poems ii: poems selected and new 1976-1986.’)

3. “how simple life is. we buy a fish. we are fed. we sit close to each other, we talk and then we go to bed.” (garrison keillor, from ‘supper’)

4. “i love you. i want us both to eat well.” (christopher citro, from ‘our beautiful life when it’s filled with shrieks’)

5. “we are born and we produce fruits, and with those fruits we make jam. and we share it.” (seventeen comeback trailer)

i’ll build a fire (you fetch the water): one day by exes

nostos: saltwater by geowulf; note by nat and alex wolff

by my own law: benjamin by the neighbourhood watch

[send me a number + a mood/genre/language and i’ll rec you that amount of songs]

LISTEN I READ NOSTOS LIKE FOUR OR FIVE TIMES AND I JUST KEEP READING BITS OF IT OUT LOUD OVER AND OVER BC IT MAKES ME INSAAAANEEEE

i’ve reread it yesterday and my brain is currently just going “ithaka waits for no one. […] odysseus comes home and penelope awaits by their tree” on REPEAT because oh my god does this quote makes me Think™. he comes home but home isn’t as he remembers bc “fire has taken trees, and water has taken sand, and time has taken people” BUT THEN the contrast of that to “and penelope awaits by their tree.” ithaka might’ve not waited but penelope did, but Love did. not only bc love is patient but bc she chose to wait for him and nostos is so much about love as a choice, about choosing to keep on loving, to keep on holding on. “he’s lucky junhui is stubborn. junhui is lucky minghao is stubborn” and just how ithaka is home and not only bc it’s where he’s from but bc it’s where love awaits by the bed, by the threshold.

I’M SORRY I’M SURE I’M JUST RAMBLING AT THIS POINT BUT i love nostos So Much™ it’s definitely my favourite fic Ever and it has such a special place in my heart and yk guess i’ll be thankful you wrote it and shared it

it depends? usually, it’s print bc i write way faster like that and i’m used to, but i do use cursive for titles and stuff like that or when i’m in the mood to give myself some wrist pain

10. what would your non-perfume/cologne signature scent be?
