I was tagged by @betweenthetimeandsound . Elda, thank you. Your moodboard is beautiful.

Game info: look up your blog name + "core" on pintrest then post the first 9 photos to create a moodboard of your blog + quote from book of choice

These are the results for "fragile dew drop". There was even the poem the name is from!

I think they are really cool. I definitely stared at them way too long.

@postmodernmulticoloredcloak , @gildedscreampoetry , @vengefulnoob , @agape-emo-eros am curious about yours. Whoever else wants to do it is also welcome (please tag me if you do: I'd trult love to see them:)

tagged by @fragiledewdrop. Thanks for giving me something to do at midnight when I should be sleeping but I accidentally went into a beer and poke coma at like 5:30.

Rules: answer the questions and tag fifteen mutuals.

1. Are you named after anyone?

Not specifically. My mom said she named me about “strong women” and that’s clear when you see the list of names she considered.

2. When was the last time you cried?

I kind of don’t remember. I think I cried just a little a few weeks ago because I was feeling a lot of residual grief that wasn’t super specific. And I think I was werewolfing.

3. Do you have kids?

No.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Not especially. I think I lean more on being witty than sarcastic, but very few people are immune to a well timed “Really?!”

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

I don’t know. Usually whatever is most distinct about them. Clothes, maybe.

6. What’s your eye colour?

Blue. Specifically a teal color with a ring of green and a thinner ring of amber around the pupil.

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Both. I think I also just like scary movies with happy endings. Mostly I like ambiguous endings though.

8. Any special talents?

I’m really perceptive. Part of the “witch” rumors about me has to do with how I look and dress but it also genuinely comes from the fact that I can read people and predict outcomes with startling accuracy.

9. Where were you born?

At a hospital in the city in Massachusetts that my family is from, 30 minutes north of where I grew up. Hence, eternal jokes about how I’m not a real Connecticuter.

10. What are your hobbies?

Traveling, reading, watching movies, going to the theater, sewing (but mostly for practical purposes), pretending I’m going to get good at bass guitar

11. Have you any pets?

No.

12. What sports do you play/have played?

When I was a child I did martial arts and swimming. In late elementary I did a little bit of floor hockey. In college I took a foil fencing class. And that’s literally entirely it.

13. How tall are you?

5′5.5″

14. Favorite subject in school?

I’m an English teacher so it feels wrong to any anything other than that, but I also disliked almost every English teacher I had in high school. I loved science though (specifically chemistry and biology) and really should have taken more social studies classes since I really love the subject. I also liked chorus and art, but I didn’t take them every year. Spanish was fine too. Really, I liked everything but gym and math except my algebra 2 class was okay.

15. Dream job?

I kind of have it? I’m a high school English teacher at a travel-themed school with a diverse student body and I teach World Literature and a course I created about marginalized people. I guess my dream job is my current job with a better principal. 

I would tag, but does anyone do these aside from me?

"Kallias," he chokes, "they are all about you"

Fanart for The Gold Shackled Singer, or the story of Erasmus and Kallias on ao3 by @fragiledewdrop / @ahandfulofsapphires I read in class and just HAD to draw something for. It wouldn't leave me alone.

NaPoWriMo Prompts

Hello everybody!

I was inspired by @fragiledewdrop's @versesforthedew prompts two years ago, which really got me writing for some of her prompts. So, I'd figured I'd do the same for this month. Like with her poetry prompts, they could be used for prose too (and could help out with your book!)

If you tag me at @betweenthetimeandsound, I'll find your work and reblog them.

addicted to tragedy

half-naked beauty

running without a pursuer

revolt of the angels

a dying rose

crucifixion

bleeding lips

walking on ice

the undefeated

hypocrisy

an era of discontent

there she goes...

despair and hope

for love to replace your shame

broken jade

ritual sacrifice

apocalypse

until eternity

bright red

emptiness

perilous time

habits of the soul

cigar-laced kiss

sunken cost

heavy in your arms

the blue of my oblivion

paradise

figments in watercolor

my sister's crown

resurrection

@fragiledewdrop replied to your post “@fragiledewdrop replied to your post “Okay that...”:

He's so beautiful🥲😍😍😍😍😍

​What's his name?

He's chonky and super cuddly. Si chiama Micio perché l'abbiamo preso insieme io e mia zia e non saremmo mai riuscite a metterci d'accordo su un vero e proprio nome quindi l'abbiamo chiamato Micio. Also known as Micione, Miciozzo, Miciozzone, Miciobello, Miciottolo, Miciottobello, Amore, Amorebello, etc

[fragiledewdrop]

Zykira: So curious, your name is very poetic. How did you come of it?

Hello Zykira! That is a wonderful name. First of all, thank you.

My url comes from a poem by John Keats.

It says:

"Stop and consider! Life is but a day,

A fragile dew-drop on its perilous way

From a tree's summit... "

It encapsulates all that life is to me: something beautiful, but incredibly frail-maybe beautiful BECAUSE it's frail. It certainly feels like that is the case. We shine for one brief moment before falling.

Anyway, my actual name is Federica and you are welcome to call me that.

What is the story behind yours?

[reblogthiscrapkay]

For the bi ask:2,3,8🌺

Thank you! I’m supposed to be making midterms and here I am wasting time on Tumblr. 

2. when and how did you realize you were not straight? I was 10. I honestly don’t know how I realized outside of the fact that I was thinking really, really not straight things about women in general. I had remarkable powers of compartmentalizing at the time because somehow I was able to think these things and write it off as, “Well, I have liked boys so I can’t be gay.” I think it took me until early high school or late middle school to even know what bi was, but once I knew I was very suspicious of any girl who was openly bi. Call it internalized biphobia but there’s a specific early and mid-2000s culture aspect to it too that would take too long to get into now. At 17, I briefly tried really hard to just become ace (no luck; I mostly just became a fujoshi for a year) and then all the suppression came back full force when I was 20. I didn’t really come out so much as I just acted really bi until people figured it out (and I basically still do that). 

3. talk about your first boy and your first girl crush Is it weird that I don’t totally know for either of these? I remember in first grade pretending to have a crush on a boy at school who everyone thought was cute, but I was just trying to be normal (see also: any time anyone talked about boy bands through all of elementary). I might not have had a crush on a boy I actually knew until I was like 12 and I was super bitter about liking him and didn’t want to. My first celebrity crush was, I think, on Raul Julia as Gomez Addams, which is probably the most on-brand thing I could say. I was 8 so I often cite 8 as the age I knew I liked men.  As for my first girl crush, I have even less of an understanding. The problem is trying to parse that difference between thinking a girl is super cool and wanting to be like her and actually wanting her. Since it took me until 12 to have a crush on an actual male person my age and even then I was resistant and bitter, I think it’s impossible for me to know.

8. describe your style Witchy vintage: mostly black, star patterns, red or black flowers, black and white stripes, knee-length skirts and dresses, button downs, pants tucked into boots, add a weird necklace or earrings or a flower crown and some dark lipstick. Oh, and my hair is a wavy bisexual bob on top of that.

Virginia Woolf! Have fun 🌼

who would be your literature dream team: Oscar Wilde and Stephen King. A horror novel that would maintain King’s attention to childhood and trauma with all of Wilde’s humor and, you know, explicitly gay characters. No more Richie/Eddie subtext, baby!
