Random photo tag game

got tagged by @dummerjan to post a random photo of my camera roll! thank you 💕

I took this the other day when my girlfriend @ptolftos-blog and I went to a flower garden with @wilfriede! I took sooooo many amazing pictures, but this little bee has a special place in my heart 🥰

I'm going to tag you two, as well as @amazingspider-boy, @nachdenklich-tj, @lilolilyr and @farminglesbian :)

Shuffle your music and make a poll for people to vote for their fave song.

Thanks for the tag @farminglesbian ! This is quite the eclectic mixture. Links to Spotify under the cut, in case someone would like to know what I’m sometimes listening to. 😅

I’m tagging @slightlyintimidating because how couldn’t I with a topic like this, @purlturtle because you love a good tumblr poll, and @thewindysideofcare , @she-is-27-i-checked , @tebarambles , @daisydoctor13 because I’d like to see what you’re listening to. 😄

As always: No worry, if you don’t want/find the time to do this.

Stats tag game

Thanks for the tag, @spaceprincessleia!!

most hits (1,774): Crash and Burn - This is the Top Gun story I did last year in a fit of Monica Barbaro induced insanity. Honestly never expected anyone to like it but it's done well for some reason (but in terms of hits, my Velcinta multichapter is not far behind, so please make that the number one!!)

fewest hits (37): things you said - Not even a full story, just the collection of ficlets I did here and then gave a permanent home to. Out of my actual stories the one with the fewest hits is a one-shot from my Forces at Work series called The True Heart of Winter, which was a nice little holiday chapter I did one Christmas

most kudos (95): Crash and Burn again but I'm still hoping one day Sharing a Blanket (the first story in the Velcinta tag, nbd) can overcome it

most comments (76): (oh, love, get me) out of the cold - Honestly I don't think I've ever looked at that number and thought about it but damn. That's pretty cool, thank y'all for the love on that one

fewest comments (0): things you said - Again I actually don't expect any on this one. Plus they came with some on here so i'm cool with that. Glad that I don't have any others that are zeros, thanks to @farminglesbian lol

most bookmarks (13): out of the cold - But as far as one-shots it's Loved I Not Honor More (my VelcintaWeek entry and favorite child) and Sharing a Blanket tied, and I love that

fewest bookmarks (0): It Won't Kill Ya (and things you said) - Honestly not shocking. This is probably my least favorite Velcinta thing I've done but the idea wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote and posted it

most words (82,621): out of the cold - My magnum opus, as I've said before. I don't think this many words will ever again flow so easily from my brain. Not that it was all easy, but it was always enjoyable and even now I'm rereading it for my own inspiration

fewest words (2,046): Sharing a Blanket (I'm not counting the ficlets) - Honestly it was tough to stretch this one to 2k, which is my absolute minimum for a chapter or one-shot, because we knew so little at that point. But no one else was jumping to be first to write about them and I just had to do something between when The Axe Forgets and The Eye came out. I definitely would not have guessed then that (far) less than a year later I'd have written more than 100,000 words on them <3

Das zweite (und letzte) Kapitel von "Manchmal muss Liebe schnell gehen" ohne Kontext:

Für @farminglesbian , @all-my-worlds-a-stage und alle anderen, die Bock auf ein First Meeting AU haben, was der SWR locker in "Blackout" hätte einbauen können, wenn er nicht so ein Weichei gewesen wäre 🥲

last song you sang out loud: had friends over this weekend and we invented a new game called strudel karaoke, which is when you're all eating strudel but a banger song comes on so someone has to sing along so you take it in turns to do a verse & i think the last one we did was we didn't start the fire

what is your favorite crisp flavor? < enjoy how british this q is, salt and vinegar

last book you opened: the green roasting tin by rukmini iyer (can confirm her gnocchi and peppers recipe is well good)

earbuds, headphones, or nothing? i am FULLY on team Give Me A Headphone Jack but i love my earbuds

last place you went to other than home: walked my friends to the train station :)

a colour that looks good on you: i have 0 style and 0 clue, yellow is almost definitely not flattering but it's my fave

last trailer you saw: i think the old guard (before making friends visiting last weekend watch it)

Tagging: (lol you've already tagged a bunch of my pals) @farminglesbian @paddingtonmybeloved @mineralrabbit @aliesafenlock @fred-the-dinosaur @carmelasoprano @dullroarofspace @mrsconneryisunfaithful but no pressure + if you see this and wanna do it please do!!

Clare: That's not dangerous!

Catherine: Oh it is. We gave off enough methane to melt a polar icecap. Greta Thunberg had to come and talk to us. We had a flood t'week after, do you remember? Well, that was us lot cracking up Halifax. Oh, it might give you inner peace, but there's whole costal towns falling into the sea every time you squeeze yourself into t'lotus position, so... and then you go voting for the Green Party.
