≻ is your muse an optimist , realist, or pessimist ?

"I try to be an optimist most of the time. Pessimists never seem like they're having a lot of fun, and it's kinda exhausting."

[astridlius]

≻ how does your muse handle having to confront someone ?

"I avoid it as long as possible and then it all explodes in the stairwell at Ocean Crest and I end up losing a whole week's worth of meals yelling about fry nests, or some shit. So, not super well."

[astridlius]

Foxglove - What steps, if any, has your muse taken to overcome their insecurities?

"I got really good at the one thing I was always pretty good at in the first place. Some might call that overcompensating, but it's worked out pretty well for me so far."

[astridlius]

Astrid: why Astrid: you literally love it Astrid: [voice message] I'm already running and I even picked up a cool rock but anyway yeah I love you I guess and happy birthday and come home soon okay bye. @maverick-liu

Mav: Nooo i don't think so she just cares a lot and made it your problem Mav: woah. take it back! Mav: AH NOOOO BUT NOW I'LL BE EMO AND COACHELLA ISN'T AN EMO FEST ASTRID Mav: [ voice message ] Fine! Then you're getting this! And it's not gonna be sweet and nice because you rejected my call, and sure my call didn't happen yet, but you pre-rejected it before I could, so go on your silly run. I hope you don't trip. @astridlius

"You're asking the wrong guy, dude," Astrid said with a hint of regret. "I showed up to the thing at Sharky's last year in a skin-tight dress and mouse ears that were supposed to be hippo ears, Mean Girls-style. And it was, like, a total last minute, mad dash kinda deal."

"I also do not know who that is. GTA actually has, like, characters with names and not just random NPCs you can run over?"

location: utp!

“Is it too early to be considering costumes for this years Halloween costume competition?” Warner wondered out loud, tapping his pencil against the sketch pad in his lap. He’d been sketching costume ideas all afternoon in his sketch pad, some more creative than others but all based on video game characters.

“Tell me I wouldn’t look like the dopest Jason Duval from GTA 6 with the baseball cap and shades?”

[astridlius]

Astrid: are they not the same thing Astrid: god you're such a momma's boy Astrid: no i'm about to go for a run and i can't have you throwing off my game :) Astrid: should've picked up when you had the chance ig @maverick-liu

Mav: is mom being a bitch or is she just being overbearing? Mav: woah yeah she's wrong it's my job that was bestowed upon me at the good age of two Mav: can I call you right now? @astridlius

"I dunno dude, Meredith is pretty hardcore," Astrid said lowly as they bent to touch their toes, eyes flicking toward the instructor. "Like, I don't think it's actually sadistic or anything, but it's also not...not. If that makes sense."

@nirawu

where: grounded yoga for: anyone! / @aurorabaystarter

"Please tell me we don't end up doing backbends by the end of these classes. I've been to yoga studios that thrive on medieval torture poses to weed out the weak."

[astridlius]

If you could see any musician (dead or alive) live, who would you choose?

"HAIM, easy. I mean, I've already seen them a few times but I already got VIP tickets to their next tour. They're so much fun live, and I'm 90% convinced that Women in Music Part III was written specifically for me."

[astridlius]

🍎 + aiden

"I'm thankful he taught me to be more selective when it comes to who I keep around."

@aiden-stevens

[astridlius]

"Yeah, of course," Astrid said, moving closer to Kalina so that she could pet the rabbit. As skittish as some of the others seems, this one seemed perfectly content to chill out in their arms.

"Oh my god, are we about to adopt and/or steal a rabbit together? That'd be so cute of us, actually."

@screamqueen-slater

“ can I?” Kalina asked when she mentioned how soft the bunny was. She was a bit too overwhelmed to pick up a single pet just yet because to be honest she didn’t know which bunny to pick up. Or be really chaotic and try to make friends with a series ducklings. “ I can go ask someone? Theyre all really cute. I’m willing to join in on being irresponsible if they are” @astridlius

[astridlius]

Astrid: i just looked it up Astrid:

Astrid: i mean lowkey mom's kinda being a bitch Astrid: she keeps texting me about you like it's MY job to watch out for you and not the other way around @maverick-liu

Mav: Oooo urban dictionary that I don't want to teach it to you Mav: Okay okay okay when I get in a quieter area I'll call you so you can hold this over my head forever Mav: Don't call mom a bitch. Mav: BUT SUCKS TO SUCK HAAAHHH 🤭 I'll dance especially hard just for you @astridlius

[astridlius]

"Bar hopping is always kinda tempting, but maybe not that best idea at..." Astrid looked at her wrist to check the time on a watch she was wasn't wearing, "11 am."

They tilted their head up in consideration. "A swim sounds cool. I mean, I don't have a bikini on me, but I'd be down for, like, a half-skinny dip if you are."

@syrenaxharris

open starter: @aurorabaystarter where: anywhere

"What should we do?" Syrena asked the person nearest to her, not even taking a moment to glance and see who it was. "I am bored and I need somebody to entertain me before I literally die of boredom." Never did Syrena think she would so desperate for another person's company but she truly just needed to not be alone. "Horseback riding, ice skating, swimming, bar hopping.. anything!" She sighed. "You were literally be my hero and I will forever be indebted to you."

[astridlius]

Astrid: wtf is a candy flip Astrid: see but i want you to call me and tell me how much you love me Astrid: so i can hold it over you forever Astrid: i'm literally sooooooooo mad i'm not seeing lady gaga Astrid: you lucky son of a bitch

Mav:

Mav: I'm in the desert with questionable service Mav: And feeling p good mid-candy flip good thing I didn’t answer it would be a whole lot of emotions Mav: BUT YOU'RE THE BESTEST 🫶 wish you were here

[astridlius]

Where do you feel most at home?

"Here, honestly. I was born in Oakland, but I hardly remember it. My family's here, my friends are here. I know this place better than anywhere in the world."

[astridlius]

What’s a song that gives off good vibes anytime you listen to it?

"If It Wasn't For The Nights. B-side ABBA classic. Don't listen to the lyrics if you're just there for the good vibes, though. Just turn your brain off and lean into the disco."

[astridlius]

"Well they also help emphasize the, you know," Astrid gestured vaguely, "Beautiful, intimidating, tall blonde woman vibe you've got going on."

They took the tub and smiled. "Thanks. If only this shit could make me, like, four inches taller. I think I'd be unstoppable."

@arwengriffiths

Arwen couldn’t help the small laugh from escaping her, as hard as she tried to keep it in. “Been there,” she admitted, leaning forwards to grab what she hoped was the right brand of protein powder. “Sometimes I think half the reason I started wearing heels was just to be able to be tall enough to reach things. Here —“ she handed the tub over — “There we go.”
