Germany Gothic
- there are many fields of flowers. Pick yourself, the sign says. Leave money in box. Leave the money in the box. Bring a knife, not scissors for the flowers. Do not use the one supplied, you don't want your fingerprints on it.
- The playground is empty after eight. Empty. Don't be convinced otherwise. She's not there, the playground is empty.
- If you have a problem, do not approach the teacher watching over the children. Do not approach the mother of three. Smile and greet them, but approach the child waiting behind them. They are the ones truly guarding the children. They will help you. Their guardians guard something different.
- Some time ago, men in brown shirts stole people from their houses. These houses are marked with gold, but not by us. We only know not to step on the gold. The stolen people will not haunt you, the neighbours that watched will.
- This buildings is old, he proudly says. They survived the wars. You smile. You do not asked why they survived. The houses know your question, they grin. Ask them later, he doesn't know.
- A soccer field's lights are always on. People are always playing. Don't approach them; you don't know who they are playing against. Pray they win every night.
- The beggar is not hungry. Not for food. Be kind, and they will ask their price from someone else.
- If you are lost, don't ask the police officer. Ask the street musician. The oldest person in the city doesn't remember a day without that saxophone sounding through the streets. Music is a hobby for many species, and they know better than you where you came from.
- trust the fields. They have seen young girls safely pass. If it calls to you, answer it.
- avoid the people smiling at you, the ones with bright eyes and pretty scarves. No one has seen them here before. Walk beside the ones in grey and black who stare forward, never meeting your eyes. Trust me, they are watching you. If they do meet your eyes, they are telling you you are in danger.
- The bus driver is your friend. The security camera in the back of the bus is not.
-You do not talk to the person in the seat next to yours on the bus. Do not ask them where they're going. Do not ask where they need to get out. Humankind may have buried body language a long time ago, but it will serve you well now.

Suburban Gothic (pt.3)
(including a couple other parts of town that I haven't mentioned before)
- it is february. it is april. it is august. it is october. it is february again. typical, you think, looking up at the sky. the sky looks back at you, and you turn away as you walk into your house. - avoid the place beyond the Car Wash, they all say. And it is true. avoid the place beyond the car wash, or something could happen to you. one of your friends dared to go back there once, just steps past the run down sign. she has never been the same again. - there are three middle schools. one is poor, one is rich, and the other...when you were in elementary school, you vaguely remember somebody telling you that they were going there in middle school. but when you try to recall their face, nothing comes up. don't ever look in the windows if you pass by. - just get uptown, you think to yourself, picking up your place. just get uptown, and nothing will happen. nothing can happen if you could just get uptown. as you break into a run, the streets of downtown drag you back, and you sigh. you will never make it uptown, and to be fair, you're not sure that you want to. - the birds have come by the park pond every morning for a year. nobody goes to the park in the morning anymore. a few people have caught glimpses of the birds at sunrise, but they never fly until night comes again. of course, the birds are never really birds, but you must pretend. you must pretend - you pass a historic building. you pass a historic building. you pass a historic building. you pass a historic building. you pass a historic building, and a man in a old looking suit nods a you. you pass a historic building. you pass a historic-

Character personalities for your oc — spring flower edition
Sunflower: cheerful, optimistic, bright and outgoing; with an infectious smile and laughter, you cannot help but be drawn to them no matter how down you feel. A typical sunshine person who sees the best in people and situations, and who makes the best of people and situations. They are true mood lifters and ones who build people up.
Rose: passionate, fiery and bursting with enthusiasm — they are strong defenders of people whom they care about, and of things that matter to them. They are alluring but also very protective of themselves, and need to be around those who treat them with utmost respect and care.
Orchid: as one of the more exotic and rare blooms, they are sophisticated people both inside and out. But when challenged with certain situations, they can get temperamental and easily irritable but often with good reason.
Lavender: with a calm and nurturing personality, they are often seen as a source of comfort in times of uncertainty. Though they often take on a behind-the-scenes role, they are always able to step up and show bravery in the face of adversity — they see it as a personal duty to safeguard the serenity of life.
Tulip: they adopt a go-with-the-flow mantra in life, are laid-back and are fairly popular among their social circles; they are able to bloom even in the gloomiest of weathers thanks to their strong sense of self. Constantly exuding happiness and a carefree spirit, many also tend to feel relaxed in their presence.
Hydrangea: just like the various vibrant colours these blooms come in, they are versatile and adaptable souls, and easily immerse no matter the environment they are thrown into. Artistic and dreamy, they tend to have a more idealistic view of the world, which, though not often, become an obstacle if not brought back to reality in time.
Peony: a natural beauty and a graceful soul; yet, they are warm and compassionate, especially thriving when they serve people around them. They take their friendships and relationships very seriously, but are only really satisfied when they are given that same level of attention from the other party.
Daisy: they are down-to-earth and extremely genuine people, and often described as the 'old-soul' in the group. They are visionary and constantly strive to make the world a more harmonious place to live in. These people are typical 'perfectionists'.
Daffodil: eccentric and unique, they have rather quirky idiosyncrasies that add to their personal flavour. They radiate joy and have a certain lightness around them. A problem solver and a lover of challenges, they can also be seen as competitive people who love the thrill of success. They prefer to forge their own path in life, and not be pinned down by something or someone.

some playlists i’ve curated
lotus in bloom: homemade ice cream, wet grass, the sun is out, big dreams, familiarity, learning handshakes, a walk in the gardens, bright colors, hopscotch games, the radio is blasting, growing, picking tangerines, the aroma of baked cinnamon rolls, seashells, blushed faces, taking it day by day
i could stare at ur back all day: tracing the birthmark on your lover’s arm, scattered flower petals, sharing laughs and lollipops, comparing hand sizes, no one else in the world exists, holding on, pink skies, timeless, beauty, reciting poetry, fulfilled promises, pure sweetness, feeling whole
the motherland: golden lanterns, loving, a sunny afternoon, grammar books, cut-up slices of fruits, rivers, open arms, nostalgia, pine trees, belonging, people-watching, first encounters, train rides, playing chess
andromeda: nothing is quite real, the moon on your mind, cold wind, small voices, a mystery, the world is heavy, distractions, a fire, long white dress, spinning, torn sheet music, illusions, apologetic yet brilliant, swords, closed eyes, floating, you are reborn
braking softly: sparkling waters, peace, beautiful innocence, a matcha iced coffee, dried flowers, longing, butterflies, intertwined fingers, a lover’s hair tie, you just turned nineteen, the calm wind, the windows are down, writing in diaries, blowing kisses, bakeries
on some strange angel’s porch: staring into space, surrendering into your own loneliness, why can’t i cry? just let it all out?, home is nowhere on earth, lamp lights, dreading silence, a ghost, poison, everything is enough, the winged nike of samothrace, falling away, decaying
closing distance: a soft kiss on the chest, touching skin, desire, sweet perfume lingers, empty wine bottles, warm breath, whispers, candlelit flames, honey, nurturing, cherishing, a little bit lightheaded, love in one place, stained lipstick
i feel like running: green neon lights, 24 hour motels, pulling up at the mcdonald’s drive-thru at 3am, empty streets, searching, deserted valleys, chaos, a serpent, it was so cold but it’s burning, melancholic, lost memories, echoes, fast cars, faded wounds
backseat luvrs: hands clasped, milk chocolates, the sudden tingling feeling in your stomach when you make eye contact, nicknames, everything is in the shape of a heart, first love, illuminated, letting them in your heart, candied cherries, confessions in letters, endless gazes, the world stops
i’m over it (she’s not): puffy eyes, fragile, sick of trying, holding hope, breaking, explosion, broken fragments of your heart, pouring november rain, emptiness, ruins, infinitely wondering “why”, sorrow and anger, betrayal, gone
i was not ready: another heartbreak, darkness, eating dinner alone once again, words left unsaid, old dreams, bad timing, empty fields, running mascara, a hurt that lasts, feeling selfish, the person they once were, a stranger, the end
one jop this time: a kpop playlist full my personalised top-tier bangers
ヽ( >∀< ☆ )ノ: kpop again but just the girlies!!!
yumeji’s theme: inspired by wong kar wai’s in the mood for love
love you for 10,000 years: inspired by wong kar wai’s chungking express

my former gifted kid playlist directory
autumn. frosted breaths, hot drinks, tweed blazers and knitted sweaters. coloured candles and stacks of classics in dimly lit rooms. library dates and early morning coffee runs. witches, pumpkins, brown jackets. the air is heavy but the coffee is warm. the leaves are falling and its time to fully embrace the dark academia aesthetic and go feral, as we do.
yearning. an almost constant state of being at this point. poetry, calloused fingers, white flowing shirts, candlelight, long eyelashes, twisting your ring on your finger, words dying in your throat every time you look at them, patterns traced on skin, a brush of fingers, fading memories, car conversations, sly nicknames, stolen kisses, broken promises.
introspection. coffee shops, foggy mornings, rainy evenings, city lights, flannel shirts, silver rings, dark colours, elliot smith, true crime podcasts, eye contact across a dim cafe, secondhand smoke, secondhand shirt, ink stains, faded jeans, chilly nights, messy notes, great music taste, probably gatekeeps, optimistic nihilist, feeling stuck, feeling like you’re meant for more than this.
feeling the big sad again. not really sure what brought it on, listening to sad songs to cope, rewatching comfort movies, nostalgia, self doubt, tracing a path on a map with your finger, leather watches, closed curtains, cancelled calls, staggered breaths, gasps for air, drying tears, midnight ice cream, watching the sunset, sighs of relief, hopeful smiles, things will get better.
overstimulated. too loud, too quiet, too many people, not enough. long walks, art galleries and bookstores. tangled earphones and painted totebags. need to collect your thoughts, need an iced coffee. skipping every song because you can’t find the right one, your head’s a mess but your outfit is great today.
love. slow songs, dancing in the kitchen, fingers intertwined, cheap wine, good company, philosophical talks on the roof, knowing looks and wry grins, laughing together while making breakfast, oversized sweaters and cold hands, flowing dresses and loosened ties, candles and annotated paperbacks, dirty jokes and warm hugs, home.
sunlight. rays streaming through the windows, it’s saturday and you can sleep in, warm sheets, freshly brewed coffee, a cat jumping onto the counter top, syrup and pancakes, plants on the windowsill, arms around your waist in the kitchen, the radio is playing, soft tunes cutting through the morning, you’re awake and ready to face the day.
moonlight. hot chocolate, fairy lights, thinking aloud, cozy socks, the feel of cotton and the smell of rain, making playlists and rereading childhood classics, cough percy jackson cough, indie folk music, the colour dark green, making tea, listening to traffic, worn-in sweatshirts and vines on the wall, lamps, late night snacks, doing your best.
iridescence. the feeling you get leaving a movie theatre. neon lights, midnight strolls, bus rides home, vivid pink clouds, blueberry slushies, shitty alcohol, leather jackets, the colour purple, a24 films, eyes closed against a car window, bubble gum, sarcasm, graffiti, disassociating at frat parties, retro diners at 2am, a secret romantic, tired, can’t wait to see the world.
arson. fiery eyes and deep purple eyeliner, kind of want to be left alone, kind of want to rule the world, smashing plates in abandoned houses, smudged mascara, 4am mcdonalds, stop signs, screaming lyrics from a rooftop, combat boots, chipped black nail polish, head banging and big smiles, conspiratorial winks and high fives, optimism and anarchy.
let’s get high. self explanatory.
dude that little kid is hardcore goth. soundtrack from when we were 14. sorry.

CONCEPT PLAYLISTS: ROMANCE EDITION ?!??
because i've been DYING to share these. the playlists are usually focused on most of the songs' lyrics. anyway:
|| SHIP TROPES ## enemies to lovers ## friends to lovers ## right person, wrong time ## unrequited love ## codependency / trauma bonding
|| THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE ## the first love : the first glimpse at love ## the second love : "what a fucking mess this is" type of love ## the third love : finally (aka, true love in songs)
|| OTHER ## candy-sweet type of love : the earliest stages of falling in love (similar to the vibes of the first love playlist) ## thought you were somebody else, you : falling for the idea of somebody, rather than for who they actually are ## it would have been you : when you continuously think of what could have been ## there's nothing left here to decode : perfect for getting over a breakup (or just healing from a particular something in your life)
|| TAYLOR SWIFT SPECIFIC: ## the five stages of grief (tv) : in order! ## pining (taylor's version) ## bonus: going insane (taylor's version) ## bonus: crying (taylor's version)
