Now that I’m officially in part 2 and the angst has begun in earnest, I made this to remember the good times of the early novel… I didn’t think I’d miss Cha Eui-jae’s insane devotion to his soup restaurant this much

Just some nice msg for my mutuals <3

Where did the whopping huge meteor come down? I assume if there are core samples, we know where it was, and maybe there are remnants of it?

Chicxulub Puerto, Yucatan, Mexico, fucking exactly

Tage Game

Rules: answer & tag 9 people you want to get to know better and/or catch up with.

Merci for the tag @hastalavistabyebye ! :D

Favourite colour?

Tricky question. I never really had a favourite colour ever. The closest to it would be red? Like a nice dark wine red? In general I like pastel colours and darker earthy tones better than shrill and bright neon colours.

Last song?

Let's see what my Spotify says: Brown Eyed Girl by Rolipso, Foinix, Brandon Chase.

Currently reading?

Technically the first Thrawn book, but I am also slowly chewing through the Witcher books and recently started the last book in that series.

Currently watching?

Multiple things. The Expanse on Prime, Dungeon Meshi on Netflix and The Acolyte on Disney+.

Currently craving?

A nap mostly, but also I feel the mood of working on my wips again. I feel the muse calling me to finish that one art for my OC.

Coffee or tea?

100% Coffee. My tastes are "boring" in comparison to what's out there in coffee flavours and types. I will be a happy bean, when I get a Cappuccino or a Latte Macchiato with a little bit of sugar in it. A Mocha if I feel like something extra. I love hot chocolate as well and it was my favourite hot drink as a child and nothing beats old bread submerged in hot cocoa as a simple breakfast. For tea, I like fruit teas more and mostly drink them when I am sick or its very cold in winter to warm up.

I put together these podcast recommendations based on books a while ago, enjoy (they also work the other way around, I highly recommend these books, I made it my life's mission to make people read radio silence, it's SUCH a great book and it got me into Welcome to Night Vale and podcasts in general. Thank you Alice Oseman)

i'm never good at summarizing things but I tried my best lol

This is what happens when you fight a bunch of weird swords that kill and infect the rouge turning them into a weird gothic vampire thing.
