#Krystal A. Smith

[asoftepiloguemylove]

could i request a webweave on the struggles of being the younger child?

(for example - being treated like a baby, older siblings acting like theyre the only ones who have problems, bullying by older siblings not being taken seriously, not feeling like your achievements matter as much, because your older siblings did it first, feeling lonely/ignored, annoying stereotypes about younger siblings on media etc.)

i did my best with this. i hope you're doing okay <33

finished books

here is the long, long list of my 2024 reads, with ratings, dates, and links to reviews. wanna read along or chat with me about books? i'm super active on fable.

because of tumblr's limit on links, i cannot direct to individual reviews at this point. for this reason, i will be sharing reviews here separately from time to time using the tag #harrowclare reads. if you would like to view my reviews on their respective sites, you can find them on thestorygraph & goodreads.

dates are listed as month, day. manga volumes that are binged will be grouped so that this list isn't a million miles long, with the range of ratings for the volumes in the stack. a few of these titles were started in 2023, lol whoops! those are the only dates with a year stamp.

Giorgia Kennedy (Judith/U/S Juliet in 22-24 Australian Tour of & Juliet) will be playing Catherine Parr in the 2024 Australian Tour of Six! 

Complete Boleyn Tour Cast Change besides Adriana Scalice and Kelly Denice Taylor

I’m gonna give this to myself, as I thought Aryn would leave and Kelly would stay in her position but I was very close so whatever

Kelsee plays Aragon or Parr in Toronto [Never Happened]

Triple Silver Show

Happened twice, both on the UK Tour! 

April 25, 2024 (Evening): Shakira Cleves, Meg Howard, Harriet Parr

April 27, 2024 (Matinee): Meg Seymour, Shakira Cleves, Harriet Parr  

I Column

Red Cleves Braid is the new standard Cleves hair

Seeing as how Krystal, Darcy, Meg, Natalie, Danielle, Sierra all use this hair, it’s being used at almost an even amount as the original cleves hair so I will count it for now <3

It counts!
