ask me stuff!
Tagged by @the-remote-part -- vielen Dank, dearie!!! Können wir Freunde sein? (please excuse my shitty German!!)
Rules: tag nine people you want to get to know better!
Top 3 ships: Hmmm... Right now, I guess it would primarily be Rebelcaptain, because I’m a Star Wars hoe first and foremost. I’m a sucker for people who have so much potential to be friends and possibly even romantic partners, but end up saving the world instead. (But, like, only in movie format. It’s the perfect length. TV is terrible with this. They take too long.) Second would probably be Jurdan (Holly Black’s Folk of the Air series, for those unaware)-- I’ve been OBSESSED with the series since The Cruel Prince came out, and it’s only strengthened as I read more fanfic. Lastly, I’m going to say Nessian from ACOWAR. I love them, and they deserve the world. 
Last Song: Spotify says, “Great Divide,” by MAGIC GIANT. PLEASE listen to their music if you need bops to get through quarantine. I recommend “Great Divide,” “Set on Fire,” and “Window.” 
Last Movie: Is Tiger King a movie? No? Then: Onward. Cute as hell, and Tom Holland’s in it, so I loved it. (I love everything he’s in. He’s cute as hell too.)
Currently Reading: Quarantine is boring, and work’s slow, so I’ve been chewing through books like it’s my actual job. I just finished Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón for the thirtieth time, and I started The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Dare this afternoon. 
What food are you craving right now: A buttery shortbread cookie. Or maybe a brownie. (Sugary foods I haven’t had in eight months. Yay for healthy eating and healthy weight loss!)
Tagging: @aspeckof-stardust @amandlas @doontpanic @slytherinoftarth @leanmeanlizardqueen @bilexualclarke @woahpip @letmehavemycurlyhair @slightlyrebelliouswriter23 DON’T FEEL PRESSURED TO DO THIS!!! I just love you guys and your blogs!!!

Vegetarian and Vegan Dining in Orlando & Kissimmee
Tumblr media
Whether you've made a commitment to healthy eating or just fancy a change, you don't have to miss out on dinner while on vacation in Orlando. Vegetarian and vegan dining in Orlando and Kissimmee is plentiful.
There are Vegetarian and Vegan Dining options locally, in the parks and a few local haunts a little further afield.
If you're wandering around the Orlando theme parks and feeling peckish, there plenty of options to tickle your vegetarian and vegan taste buds. Menus change quite frequently, but items below will give you a guide.
Disney go above and beyond to cater for dietary requirements. Disney chefs really know their stuff when it comes to vegetarian and vegan dining, or guests with dietary or allergy requirements. Always discuss your options with your server.

(The vanilla version is not). The hashtag #DoleWhip has over 160,000 posts, so you can see how popular it is! And a newcomer in 2018, the Peter Pan Float has already graced the pages of many Instagram accounts. And if you order it without the red chocolate feather, it's perfect for vegans. Available from Storybook Circus in Magic Kingdom. Another to add to the list is LeFou's Brew. This delicious slush drink from Gaston's Tavern in Magic Kingdom is totally vegan.

Quarantine Tag Game!
@thefangirlingbarista tagged me! Thank you so much, Jess. <3 
Are you staying home from work/school? Yes! I’m really, really bored. 
If you’re staying home, who is there with you? My parents and my brother.
Are you a homebody? No. Going through this has only made me realize how much I like to leave my house. However, I do love my home when I’m there, and some days, I desperately want to be at home, and need to. But this is hard.
An event that you were looking forward to that got cancelled? I was going to see My Fair Lady at the Ohio Theatre. :( 
What movies have you watched recently? Bend It Like Beckham, Room, and The Hurt Locker. 
What shows are you watching? I’m watching Schitt’s Creek, Golden Girls, and Queen of the South over again, and starting Killing Eve! 
What music are you listening to? Anything, really. I realized I need to find my own taste of music, because a lot of the music I’ve listened to over the past few years is stuff I’ve grown up with, and it began a conversation with myself where I realized I needed to find my own. 
What are you reading? There There, by Tommy Orange.
What are you doing for self-care? Going on walks, running, reading, writing, and playing with my dogs.

1,31,33? ❤️
thank you, dear! :) @slytherinoftarth
1: Age--- 23! As of January!
31: What my last text message says--- “pay me bitch” to my little brother, whose midterm paper I edited and who promised to pay me for doing so.
33: What words make me feel the best about myself--- Hmmm. I’ve decided to edit this question from my first original answer. I think the quote that resonates with me the most right now is this: “The difference between a weed and a flower is a judgment.”
