💞❤️💞probably won’t get asked but if you do ask please put the question💞❤️💞

Please send these. They sound interesting.

you feel slightly intimidatingly inscrutable to me, which is maybe strange considering how pitiless a light you shine on your agonies! also your aloof physical elegance is enviable, and feels like an appropriate carapace for you. mostly i hope you know you aren’t actually somehow uniquely unworthy of the affection you yearn for; if anything, the opposite is true! you are bright and winsome and growing: i wish—and anticipate!—good things for you.

banana, coconut, papaya, apricot x

banana: favorite horror movies?

i am unfortunately unable to watch horror movies because they get inside me and i get Too Scare and very very sad and anxious. i can just about run up to an “annihilation” level of thriller/body horror but that’s where i disembark

i also don’t watch movies nearly ever but that’s, its own problem,

coconut: favorite perfume?

i’ve been wearing ck one a lot lately, in a real appropriative 90s bitch/lowest-hanging-fruit-genders kind of mood

otherwise im eternally working thru the samples i amassed three years ago when i bought a lot of things at sephora, but i don’t have any strong favorites rn of the ones in rotation

papaya: what song describes your aesthetic?

answered but i’ll go again and cheat even more egregiously this time. “needing/getting” ok go + “hard times” buke & gase + “variations on a cloud” miracle musical + “the cn tower belongs to the dead” owen pallett

apricot: what do you do when you’re sad?

in descending order of frequency:

if it’s the regular sads & i’m just like, dwelling in it: reread my sadposting tumblr tags, listen to random music, obliquely pester or soberly avoid pestering my friends, write poorly or obsessively, watch ten consecutive youtube videos of moderate comedic value

if i’m trying to fix it: listen to upbeat music, walk around, seek out an actual social interaction or engage in several online conversations at once, potentially even engage in a physically affectionate activity which is the ultimate in mood fixing but also wholly forbidden so that’s challenging, eat a delicious food that i like

if i’m in the blistering all-encompassing thought crush howl of depression fear: curl up in my desk chair at 2:30AM, listen to loud dissonant melodied music to try to suppress some of the tracks of my thoughts (sleigh bells, as a fallback/default), write extremely weird delusional things, if i’m unlucky get all the way to engaging with another person and say some sad limping oblique monstrously weird failed-cryptic misery shit, develop bizarre ritualized eating habits, attempt to form logic out of puréed-and-frozen brain slush, wind up with a hateful suspicion against the concepts of causality and existence

fortunately that last one gets to live in 2014-2017 where it belongs

you caught me at a moment when I’m trying and abundantly failing to write a poem. here’s some parts of this failed & failing poem:


Any space that can be filled with a seatback screen and the full run of Transformers
Dark of the Moon or in your case a paperback of Dhalgren
is enough time for anyone and now I’m done waiting


                     which is just bodies and words
but such soft bodies. Such fearful words.


Someone else’s mouth— not mine
I can’t feel things with my mouth—


…so anyway now we know what it looks like when i spin my wheels frantically at some Words

i am fucking struggling with the directive to interact syntax and line, friends. i don’t know shit about either one! mostly line. i’m very bad at line
