2009 Reference Guide to Seb's Hair(Long post w lots of pics):

I would rate these but I love every version of him too much so I cannot pick 🤭, I'll add some commentary though. This took a horrible amount of time but it was also a great excuse to download and show off a truly terrible amnt of Seb pics(I was in tears half the time bcs of cuteness agression)

0. Testing(Jerez)(February 10th-12th):

Honestly such perfect Seb hair, I find this soooo cute!!! His hair is honestly always so perfect at Jerez testing every season. I love the length and style, he looks so incredibly pretty <3

1. Australia(March 26th-29th):

And now he is...bald. I actually kinda love this hair, he's my little kiwi fruit!! But I also can't help but mourn the Jerez hair. I'm just like: why did you feel the need to go bald, Seb??? It makes him look so young!

2. Malaysia(April 2nd-5th):

3. China(April 16th-19th):

I think the highlight of his bald era is how much he embodies the nickname "sunshine." Like the way his hair and eylashes glow in the sun??? Literally sunshine. Also it's cute to see his hair grow more fluffy

4. Bahrain(April 23rd-26th):

The texture differences are so interesting, I think this length looks its best when it's more fluffy like in the top right pic.

5. Spain(May 7th-10th):

It's funny how his hairline does that point in the middle, again: looks better when he looks unkempt

6. Monaco(May 21st-24th):

Weirdly shocked at how much his hair grew in-between Spain and Monaco??? Also I forgot that those fashion pics were from this weekend, and I was jumpscared by his mohawk look. I think he should keep away from hair product hahaha

7. Turkey(June 4th-7th):

Lego hair looking ass. Kidding kidding, just think his hair looks best all natural

8. Silverstone(June 18th-21st):

Lowkey kinda baffling to me how different his hair looks at different stages of the weekend. The podium hair especially is just soooo different, its very cute but yeah idk

9. Germany(July 9th-12th):

I did not realize he cut his hair again during this season?? Seeing these was very surprising to me, I had thought he grew it out for the entire season but I guess not! But I guess if he hadn't gotten a haircut the entire season, he'd probably have his angelic curls of 2010 by the end

10. Hungary(July 23rd-26th):

Kinda love the looks he was serving this weekend, it's just very spikey and cute(also the cunty sunglasses!!

11. Valencia(August 20th-23rd):

12. Belgium(August 27th-30th):

That garage lighting makes his hair look soooo much more yellow rather than his fair blond in the sunlight

13. Italy(September 10th-13th):

This transitional growing period is not my fav, just the way his hair sweeps in is funny

14. Singapore(September 24th-27th):

Looking particularly blond this weekend!! His hair is just very light and pretty

15. Japan(October 1st-4th):

I think most of these are from post-quali and for good reason; I love the way it looks like he has highlights in all the bottom pics

16. Brazil(October 15th-18th):

I love his scruffiness from this weekend!!! The scruffy stubble is sooooooo!!!

17. Abu Dhabi(October 29th-November 1st):

Pretty cute I think but yeah like nothing can really compete with his hair length in 2010 for me so I look at these and I'm like, ooooo growing longer!!

Conclusion: I think it's fun to get to see the process of someone's hair growing out. I've noticed that a lot of men with short hair get very consistent haircuts to keep their hair generally the same length, and I think that's so boring!! I think it's great to grow out your hair for a few months time because you get to see yourself at all the different stages and experiment with all kinds of different looks! So yeah, props to Seb for serving all kinds of looks this season!!

Also it's always interesting to me how much hair length/style and facial hair can change a person's look, but particularly how old/young they look. Like when he shaved his his head, it made him look so young. But in Brazil for example, with the longer hair and scruffy facial hair, he def looks older!

And of course, let me know which you like the best :D My favorite is Jerez <3

Happy Birthday Scottish actor Richard Madden born June 18th 1986 in Elderslie.

Richard was raised by his mother, Pat, a classroom assistant and his father, Richard, who worked for the fire service. He also has two sisters, Cara and Lauren.

His parents were “hippies”, he says, and their house was pretty open, with friends always piling in for big vegetarian meals. Madden spent a lot of time outside, in the woods behind their house. He has several injuries: he shows me where he shot his dad’s old air pistol and blew off part of his finger, then managed to wreck the same finger when he nailed a wooden plank to his skateboard, then crashed it, so apart from the Hippie parents it was much like most of our own days as bairns.

Despite growing up wanting to be an actor, Richard was very shy during his childhood. To overcome this, at age 11, he joined Paisley Arts Centre’s youth theatre program. In 1999 he was given the lead role as Sebastian Simpkins in BBC1’s children’s TV comedy series Barmy Aunt Boomerang, that’s him aged 12 in the first pic with co-star Toyah Wilcox.. By 2000, he’d made his feature film debut in the Iain Banks adaptation, Complicity.

After high school he was accepted to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow, Scotland and in 2007, he graduated.

Less than two years later, Richard had a recurring role as Dean McKenzie on the 2009 BBC series Hope Springs. Soon after, he landed the role of Ripley in the 2010 movie Chatroom, a film about a group of teenagers who encourage each other’s bad behaviours after meeting online. In the same year, Richard played punk band Theatre of Hate singer Kirk Brandon in Worried About the Boy, a TV film about the life of British singer-songwriter Boy George.

In 2011 Richard landed his breakthrough role as Robb Stark in the HBO fantasy-drama series Game of Thrones. Also in 2011, he played gay paramedic Ashley Greenwick on the short-lived British comedy-drama Sirens. During hiatus from filming Game of Thrones in 2013, Richard was cast to star as Prince Charming in the 2015 Disney film Cinderella.

Richard won his first Screen Actors Guild award in 2014 for the Discovery Channel mini-series, Klondike. He played Bill Haskell, one of two adventurers who travel to Yukon, Canada during the Klondike Gold Rush in the 1890s. He further enhanced his reputation as a good actor when he appeared in the BBC drama Bodyguard in 2018, the following year he played Lieutenant Joseph Blake in the film 2017 and was Elton John’s manager/lover in the biop of the star Rocketman.

In January 2019 Madden won a prestigious Golden Globe for his role as war veteran David Budd in the BBC show Bodyguard. He also appeared in the 2019 war movie 1917.

We last saw Richard in the movie, Eternals, which was okay, but nothing great, he is one of several actors being touted as the next James Bond,

Last year Richard starred in the Amazon Prime series Citadel, I've watcheit and was not really impressed with it,I think he does pull of the American accent well, but I noticed there have been people saying he doesnt, Madden revealed he spoke in the accent for two years straight to prepare for the series. The show has been earmarked for a second series. Richard is set to appear in the feature film Killer Heat next, it is in post production.

In July 2019, Madden received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. When asked about his personal life during a New York Times interview following speculation about his relationships and sexuality, Madden stated: “I just keep my personal life personal.”

Madden was recently named one of ‘Scotland’s Sexiest Men' following a new study that identifies the most attractive features for men, he has competition though, also in the running are Bathgate’s David Tennant and Glasgow’s James McAvoy,

Richard, quizzed on what he would like to do next he sad “I’d like to do something in comedy. It’s nice to not… I mean we go to work every day and we’re like, ‘You’re gonna die today,’” he said, adding that he wanted to “do something fun for a minute.”

Dolly brainfarts - This Old Dollhouse

April 12, 2009 - idea collage

I have no plans to follow through on any of the stuff I typed and typo’ed here. I did add a closet bar to the window-cubby of the Twiggy trunk, but nothing else has been altered.

Original text below cut

I have the Twiggy and Elizabeth Taylor trunks from Franklin Mint; they're made for their 1:4 portrait dolls (they have other celebs in the series too, but most of 'em are no longer made). I also have a folding Barbie house like in the picture. Mine has the same colors, but the cardboard wall board (with images of other stuff) has been painted a solid blue. I think I painted the pink cabinet on the right a black color, as well. (I snagged the images online, as my camera is still dead. The new Canon hasn't been purchased yet, as dad's pumping funds into remodeling the living room.)

Big note for this project: Folding house can come apart, be chopped, be painted, blow up (though all dolls will be given plenty of evacuation time) for all I care. I don't use it, and it's not as great as I had imagined. It's packed away in our barn, so it's hard to get to. If I can avoid using this, it means less hassle trying to dig through boxes.

Both trunks cannot be modified in ANY way. I already tried to take the hinges off without killing things (so they might go back together later), but it didn't work and I'm not sure if it can be done. I don't want to paint anything; outside of the Twiggy trunk is vinyl anyway. The empty areas could be storage space, but I'll put a shelf unit in there instead of nailing anything in place.

Main goal is that I need to at least use the Twiggy trunk in some fashion. I'm gonna end up moving things to the floor in my room, but I don't want things sitting directly on the floor. I'm gonna add a pic of bookshelves that have dollhouse potential, too.

If you've got any ideas or examples or floor plans or tips for setting up a non-standard dollhouse that's at least playscale (1:6 or Barbie sized), I'd really appreciate it.

Welcome to my life.

Hi everybody (anybody...) !

Opening this blog was a big step for me. I have been thinking of doing it for a couple of weeks now but I couldn't find the courage. I wanna introduce myself a little, even if no one ever sees this post.

Hello, I am B, 24 years old, I have two ginger cats (my baby on my profile pic). I've dealt with anxiety my entire life, I am diagnosed with BPD since I was 17, no medication, no therapy (lmao I need it). Also diagnosed with ADHD since I was like 5, unmedicated again (lmaoooo). I dealt with severe depression for an entire decade, from 2009 to 2020 (11 to 22). I got out of it (unmedicated too, listen, I said I was a mess). I dealt with alcoholism when I was 17 (2015), got sober, on my one year anniversary I used drugs for the first time and became heavily addicted to speed (early 2017). I heavily relied on it for 4 years, greatest love of my life, helped me stay alive. Got to my breaking point on February 9th 2021 and I celebrated my 2 years anniversary last month !!! Hardest thing I've ever done. Haven't popped a single pill since.

I was an anorexic during my addiction, everything turned around food consumption, calories burning. Would only eat once a week for months at a time, on and off for 4 years. When I stopped using, I started binge eating. The past two years have been uncontrollable for me. The first year, I went in a state of mind where it was better stuffing my face rather than popping a pill. I gained 100 lbs in the process, in 12 months. Not even exagerating. I gained another 20 lbs during the second year. Two weeks ago, I said enough was enough. I was at 119.5 kgs. I started doing these 2 videos on youtube, cardio for plus size people, 20 minutes. I did 7 sessions in 11 days. Let's see how it's gonna go !!

I have a boyfriend, my soulmate, the love of my life. I met him summer 2017. It has been a rocky relationship to say the least. When we met, he was more of an addict than I ever have been. We were a couple after 5 days, moved in after 3 weeks. He got clean late 2018. He has been my anchor ever since we met. He is my biggest emotional support. Every year our couple is getting stronger and stronger, every year is better than the last. I don't know how I'd survive without him in my life. He was/still is my first ever boyfriend/relationship. I've never wanted to pursue dating, until I met him, I was 19, he was 20. He was the same, never had a girlfriend either. Going through mindless, unemotional sex with unknown faces. When we met, we both knew. We were made to be together. It was hard but I would do it all over again and again and again.

I graduated high school in 2014 at 16, I never did anything else with my life. Only worked at shitty fast food jobs that made me wanna die. I went back to school last august, in Infography. Found out it wasn't my place after 3 months, pursued Secretary instead. Started February 28th. I've been doing amazing so far.

I have a very small family. It's only my mom and sister. I have a brother but he lives very far away, we didn't stay in contact. My mom lives a couple hours away from me, she has preschool twin boys and she takes care of my grampa who has dementia since christmas 2019. My sister lives in another continent with her girlfriend since 2018, we keep in touch daily but she only comes around once a year for a few weeks.

Long post, but kinda explain every aspect of my life I could possibly write about in my future posts. I actually can't wait to start talking to myself ! This post got me all excited !!

Introducing...

Lawson’s Girlfriend, Tiffany Espensen

Per their Instagrams, Lawson Bates + Tiffany Espensen are getting pretty cozy.  While it’s unclear if they’re pre–courting, courting, or whatever, it’s obvious that they’re in some sort of romantic relationship, and not trying to hide it.  So...  It’s time for an Introduction Post!

Meet Tiffany

Tiffany Lian Espensen was born in Lianjiang, China on February 10, 1999.  She is 22 Years Old, as of March 2021.  At 13 Months Old (March 12, 2000), Tiffany was adopted by her parents, Dan + Robin Espensen, and moved to California.  As of 2021, she still lives in the Golden State.

Career   Tiffany Espensen is a professional actress, appearing in television and film.  Arguably, her most–notable role to date was “Cindy Moon” in Spiderman: Homecoming (2017), which she briefly reprised in Avengers: Infinity War (2018).  Before that, she had major co–starring roles on children’s television—Bucket & Skinner’s Epic Adventures (2012–2013), then Kirby Buckets (2014–2017).  She’s also a voice actress, with voice credits for movies, television, and video games.  She has appeared  in two made–for–TV movies and one miniseries.  And, she’s had one–off or minor roles on a few well–known shows, including House (2011), Lie to Me (2009), The Young & The Restless (2008), NCIS (2008), Criminal Minds (2008), and Hannah Montana (2007).  Her full filmography is on IMDB, for those who are curious!

Education   By junior high, Tiffany was homeschooled.  (This might have been due to her acting career, rather than for religious / ideological reasons, though.)  After high school, Tiffany chose to pursue a higher education, but continued to act at the same time.  She enrolled with Liberty University Online in 2016.  (She chose Liberty for its ‘biblical worldview,’ saying in 2017:  “I genuinely really love what Liberty is doing, and what it stands for.  It is so important because you don’t see many colleges today that stand for truth.”)  Tiffany graduated summa cum laude in August 2019, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science.

Religious Beliefs   Tiffany is clearly religious...  She sought out a Christian, bible–focused college, and apparently factors her faith into her career.  She claims to be “very careful” in selecting “the roles I do and auditions I go on,” since she knows her choices will “represent Christ.”  She’s fairly outspoken about her religion on social media, as well...  She includes scripture in, like, every Post.

Other   Just a fun, weird fact...  Apparently she’s best friends with Bindi Irwin, Steve Irwin’s Daughter.  Unclear how they met, but their friendship appears to go back to 2014, at least!

... and Tiffany’s Family

Tiffany’s Parents are Daniel Philip + Robin L. Espensen.  (Haven’t yet been able to track down Robin’s Middle or Maiden Names.)  She has 1 Sibling—her Older Brother, Erik C. Espensen.  (It’s unclear how old Erik is or whether he’s adopted like Tiffany.)  Erik lives in West Hollywood, CA, and works as a real estate agent. (See Also.)  He and Tiffany seem to be quite close.   

As for Tiffany’s Parents...  They are both licensed realtors.  Also, it seems that they own and manage quite a few properties, mostly in Riverside County, CA.  Dan is a Financial Advisor, as well.  They’re very busy!

As for where they’re from...  It’s sort of unclear.  The Espensens seems to run the financial advising and property management businesses from Desert Hot Springs, Riverside County, CA.  On Facebook, Erik lists nearby Palm Springs, CA as his “hometown.”  However, they have ties outside of Palm Springs, as well...  Two charter schools in Julian, CA—a town just outside of San Diego—reportedly oversaw Tiffany’s homeschool curriculum.  But...  On IMDB, Tiffany says she lives in Los Angeles—not San Diego or Palm Springs.  (Plus, IG Pics often place her in iconic Los Angeles locations, such as Griffith Park, Staples Center, and Dodger Stadium.  Plus, Disneyland / California Adventure, which are technically in nearby Orange County, but are decidedly not in San Diego.)  So, yeah...  They’re from Southern California.  Somewhere.  Seems they may have moved around some, or maybe live live in Riverside County, while self–describing as Angelenos.  Very possible.

Overall Impression / Comments

Overall, Tiffany appears to be more ‘wordly’ than some of the Bates Spouses.  However, she’s also very young, and there’s a fairly large age gap.  (Lawson is 28, 29 in July; Tiffany just turned 22.)  I’m very interested to see what happens with Tiffany’s career, if she and Lawson marry...  Will he move to Los Angeles?  Will she keep acting?  Will she keep acting if they have children?

It’s an interesting pairing.  I’m interested to see this unfold.

[eragonpaolini]

ok I am interested in hearing about the mouse novel you started in 3rd grade

For anyone wondering what this is about, I mentioned this story a couple times in the tags, I don’t even remember on what posts lol. It took a minute to dig it up but I finally found it, wasn't even on my computer, it was on my backup drive lol. I’m gonna liveblog my reactions to it. Probably gonna be a long post, so

It's bad. It's very bad. I thought I started it in like 3rd or 4th grade or something but I found the earliest version in my 2009 folder which was 6th grade for me 😭. I don't think I was that bad at writing in 6th grade but it's really very bad. We're talking worse than My Immortal bad. It's possible I started it earlier and moved it to more recent folders over time (cause I took like 3 years to write like 6 pages lmao) but this is worrisome. I also found updated versions in my 2010 and 2011 folders which went up to 8 pages whoo! (But somehow only 2k words for the longest versions??) The "last modified" date is worthless cause I've moved it between like 3 computers and 5 flash drives/backups so all the versions say 2017.

That being said, there is a very marked improvement in the writing quality over those 8 pages that I'm almost proud of. That last page is frankly perfectly readable as a novel written for 8-12 year olds, though the story structure still needs a ton of work.

Oh shit, I just dug into the file metadata and found out it was created in May 2007, so 4th grade! Whew! I have an excuse for how bad it is. The newest version was last modified in April 2011 so that totally explains why it's so much better towards the end. Huh, just noticed I actually updated the intro in the most recent version, which makes it slightly more palatable lmao.

Well now that I've finished liveblogging my detour down memory lane, what the hell's the story about?

A town called Miceville exists in the lowest sub-basement of a human apartment building. The main character (named Cheddar Squigee) gets himself into a predicament, lost in the wilderness due in part to his own bad decisions and in part because of his older brother's dumbassery. Hopelessly stranded with no hope for rescue while his family is worried sick looking for him, Cheddar goes on an adventure with ghost pirates to find some treasure and save them from their curse (because I’d just watched Pirates of the Caribbean), before eventually reuniting with his family. I only got as far as the “he got stranded” bit with the beginnings of lore for the ghost pirates.

Some highlights from the story:

I think the very idea of a mouse story came from me reading some Geronimo Stilton books around that time. Look them up if you haven’t heard of them, they’re great books in my memory from when I was like 10 so I’m sure they’ll hold up over a decade later /s

There’s an “I didn’t know you could read” reference to Harry Potter

The entire ghost pirates thing is obviously lifted from PotC which I think is just hilarious

There’s a Clip Art pic of a mouse on one of the pages :)

The entire thing is written in Comic Sans font except for two parts which are 1) The chapter titles which are in Impact (that meme font fyi) and 2) The main title which is in the old MS Office 2003 WordArt lmao

Some lowlights:

I was a Brand Shill™, for Lamborghini of all things

I made Cheddar’s brother a major dick and a dumbass, which absolutely was not at all inspired by my relationship with my IRL brother, not one bit. There is nothing for a therapist to unpack there.

I don’t know why I specified the mouse city was in the sub-basement of a human apartment. The humans were never supposed to make an appearance or have any impact to the story. I could just have easily made it a full mouse world like Redwall or whatever.

Everything happens so fast (what is pacing and plot structure?) so if I finished the story at the current pace I don’t think it would break 30k words, not even a novel.

Anyway, thank you so much for giving me an excuse to take a couple of hours looking at this crappy story I wrote over a decade ago. No, no one can read it it’s still very bad.

tagged by @pr-scatterbrain​ <3

1. why did you choose your url?

an impulse decision? i think my thought process was: al > my nickname, remix > a remix on my old blog. something like that. 

2. any side-blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.

@al-the-remix-insp which is pretty self explanatory, I just needed somewhere to dump all the inspiration posts for fic, art, etc. that were piling up in my likes 

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

2009, it was a different world back then lmao

4. do you have a queue tag?

yes, absolutely that’s where most of my posts come from

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

this blog specifically was a long time coming, I was always a hockey fan but it took a few failed starts before i was sold on hockey RPF, but i’l glad i’m here now :’)  

6. why did you choose your icon?

feral sid? feels good, feels right.

7. why did you choose your header?

I really liked my last one with geno spread eagle--BUT THEY JUST LOOK SO GOOD IN THE BENCH PIC

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

this one i’m pretty sure...and I mean, no kidding... 

9. how many mutuals do you have?

i don’t know but i’ve got a good handful of people i talk to regularly

10. how many followers do you have?

the perfect amount 

11. how many people do you follow?

600 and something

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

I’m not entirely sure what constitutes a shit post but i’m sure i probably have

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

I normally check it in the morning and answer asks/make posts in the evening, but it varies. I mostly reblog through notification, I never look at my feed...

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

I’m sure i probably have, but not in a VERY long time. arguing with people on the internet is a waist of everyone’s time. 

15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

lol, there’s nothing more likely to make me not interact with a post then telling me to do it

16. do you like tag games?

yeah, they’re fun!

17. do you like ask games?

again, yeah! though i do prefer the fandom/writing ones over anything dealing with personal information 

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

tumblr famous is not a real thing, is a conspiracy made up by the people who want to make you think they’ve got some sort of authority on this hell site (they don’t) 

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

nope!

20. tagging: @plethoriall, @rinkrats, @nhlsideblog, @waddlingpenguin, @idontlikeem

[lokisasylum]

writer’s tag

No one tagged me, I’m just your regular insomniac (but without caffeine this time).

1. what fandoms have you written for (but do not currently)?

I used to write for Yuyu Hakusho and Death Note back in the day when I finally coughed up the courage to try writing. But i don’t write for either one anymore since I left both fandoms back in 2009. Then I took a LONG break from fandoms as a whole (due the toxicity in them thanks to the pre-teens who joined afterwards to ruin them 🤢) and instead focused on this original story I had for a couple of years, but then lost interest in it since no one else was into it.

2. what fandoms are you currently writing for?

Currently? BTS.

3. how long have you been writing?

Y’know, i was gonna say since 2008 when I REALLY got into Death Note and opened my first deviantart account (i was 22 back then). But I’ve actually been writing roughly since I was 13. I used to carry around a large notebook with random dialogues, chapters, scenes, character datas for an original story that never quite came to life. *shrugs*

4. on which platforms do you post your stories?

AO3 and sometimes on deviantart (LoKiRaseNgAn), which is also my main art account.

5. what is your favourite genre to write?

Alternative Universes, slice of life, angst with happy endings (most times >>), psychological thriller, strangers to lovers, and of course a bit of smut without plot is good. 

6. are you a pantser or a planner?

I make a plan and then wing it till the end LOL. For example, I almost always start writing with the intention of writing a oneshot... and then chapter 02 happens... then chapter 03 and so on...🤷🏻‍♀️

7. one shot or multi-chapter?

BOTH, both is good.

8. what is the perfect chapter length in your opinion?

I used to think 10-12 pages was THE way to go, because #1. It sets a goal/deadline, #2. Reduces the time it would take to update a story especially if its multi-chartered and #3. It helps prevent unnecessary fillers.

But lately my “endgame�� is 20-22 pages long if its a Oneshot or final chapter.

[LMAO I never even did that for my Graduate School Thesis, where the “perfect/acceptable length” was 50 pages per chapter. I only ever did 25-38 and only because I set the spacing to 2.0 and would bullshit my way through the last lines  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ]

9. what is your longest published story? is it complete?

For now, Lunatic High , which is 17 chapters long but missing the final one (18). So it remains Incomplete until I can finish that last chapter which I’ve had to re-write several times after the original was lost 😭😭

10. which story did you enjoy working on the most?

Beautiful Tragedy (soulmate au) and All or Nothing would bet the best pics because both had the exact endings I wanted for them from the start. 

11. favourite request you’ve written and why?

I never get requests, so I just write whatever plot bunny’s running wild in my head at 3AM.

12. are there recurring themes in your stories?

angst, hurt/comfort, smut with a bit of humor

13. current number of wips?

*glares at File on my desktop* ...11 unpublished..and 2 multi-chapters that are missing their final chapter.

14. three things you have noticed about your own writing?

As per typical of a History major since college, I do TONS of research about topics of interest. Especially if Historic events take place (like in Forever, You Said where I did a year of research on the Joseon Dynasty back in late 1600s up until what was going on in the world before, during and after World War II)

I’ve never noticed this, but some of my readers describe my writing as “poetic”, “realistic” to a point where they question reality and emotional.

I unconsciously tie events, phrases, moments between characters and the end result makes it seem like it was all planned from the start (this happens a lot between VMIN).

15. a quote you like from a published story.

" Most fairy-tales make you believe that there is such a thing as “forever”, but in reality kingdoms fall, buildings turn to ruble, words fade, bodies decay and turn to dust. Nothing ever lasts.    Not even love.” -- [Forever, You Said. Chapter 03: “A Blackened Soul”]

16. a quote from an unpublished story.

[This one’s fron a Yoonmin Police AU titled “Red Cold River” ]

“It hurt... it always does, but I know he's hurting more. So I don't tell him anything, for I too hold on to the same fear as he. That one day his obsession to solve "the one case" will take him away from me. That next time it'll be his body we have to identify on the cold steel bed in the morgue and I won't be able to stand it.

That in the end I’ll become just like him; bitter and plagued by regrets.”

17. a space for you to say something to your readers.

Thank you for reading my stories and for the Kudos or Comments. I always read each one and keep them close to my heart to motivate me into writing more. But I’m also sad and very sorry that I haven’t written anything since 2 years ago.

You guys prolly see me online all the time cracking jokes, recommending new music or making shady comments always aimed towards idiots and antis, but IRL its been rough on my end with chronic illnesses I rather not speak off to avoid sounding like I'm throwing a pity party. Also struggling to find a new job since I lost my old one over 4 years ago (they keep saying its cause i'm "overqualified" but I just call it bullshit and people being too lazy to teach someone new) and with this fucking pandemic that won't go away only adds more frustration on the daily basis.

But just now that I haven’t given up on writing and I haven’t given up on either Lunatic High nor Forever You Said.

18. Tag?

Anyone who’s read it this far is tagged.

I know this is way out of season, how many times were you an EEnE character for Halloween? Did anybody recognize who you were dressed as? My brother was Double D in 2000 and when we went trick or treating at the mall, a lady (employee of the mall) was like “hey you’re one of those Ed boys. I love that show!”

I’m really sorry, I literally saved this like a year, was going to answer it on Halloween, then fell asleep forgetting to finish the answer, then eventually losing what I wrote. Sooo... New Year’s can be Halloween too, because I said so!

1.  I dressed as Edd for the last Halloween where I trick-or-treated as a kid, 12-years-old/2003. I think the friend I was with knew who I was but definitely not the adults whose doors we knocked on, lol.

2.  The next year I think I may have been animating more so I did a really lazy Ed costume just to hand out candy, age 13/2004.  Nobody got that one and in retrospect I wondered why I did it.  Don’t remember how I did the unibrow, but I remember the only red-and-white-striped shirt I could scrounge up was one of my mom’s old maternity shirts, so I was greeting the door in something I technically wore as a fetus.

3.  I was really into animating in my high school years, so I didn’t trick-or-treat again until a party with my friends in senior year, age 17/2008.  I completed my trio and wore an Eddy costume where I made his shirt by terribly using tie-dyeing logic on one of my old Catholic school uniform shirts, lmao.  I think I brought an empty pickle jar instead of a candy basket... then realizing at the party that a pickle jar is much smaller than anything anyone else had for a basket, so I was loaned a pillow, haha.  And to make sure I didn’t have to explain this costume to everyone I met, I also brought a tiny Eddy figurine keychain from one of those small vending machines (which was a gift, I’ve never been lucky enough to see a vending machine with Eds in it myself).

4. The next year, age 18/2009, the movie was the only thing on my mind-- I had watched the leak a million times and then it was finally going to premiere 8 days after Halloween, so I decided to be Bro and just tell every stranger who didn’t know Eds that I was being “a scary carnie.”  That costume was to trick-or-treat with another party with a brand new group of friends, who I’ve stayed in touch with.  I’ve posted a blurry pic of that before where my head’s sideways, trying to be creepy like Bro.

age 19 I made up a costume out of junk, age 20 I skipped cuz it was on a Monday so my friends were busy, age 21 I was Milhouse...

5. This is where it gets dicey... I think next I was Eddy when I was 22 in 2013 (with my [spouse, but not yet at that time] Erica as Edd), where I wore the exclusive Eddy-costume polo shirt that AKA gave its staff as a gift one year, which Raven had sent me the previous year for my birthday!  This was for a party with new-neighbors/former-coworkers, very adulty, no trick-or-treating.

6. I can’t remember what was going on next... age 23/2014 I may have been Eddy again for pretty much the same party again, which is why I don’t remember that year very distinctly.  Or Erica and I may have switched, maybe I was Edd that time...

age 24/2015 was a cursed Halloween where I shattered my foot randomly in the morning and had to not be part of a Halloween buffet event that Erica and I had free tickets to at some fancy place around the Disneyworld resorts.

I can’t remember what I did Halloweens 2016 or 2017... I think one of them was at Disneyworld, I think both involved trick-or-treating with my niece Mimi, but I might have been Edd that time, and if so, then I think I was Eddy for #6...

7. And I want to say the last time I was an Ed for Halloween was age 27/2018, where Erica was having her first Halloween working the same dayjob as me in several years.  I know for sure this time I was Edd and Erica was Eddy. I think I remember feeling like it was lazy that I was being him again, so that’s why I suspect I may have been Edd for #6... At one point, I had to explain who I was to my managers and the only example I had on my desk was the big-headed off-model posable Edd toy, and I remember they joked that I was just in my weekend clothes since Edd’s outfit does just look like casual clothing.  After work, we trick-or-treated with our niece Mimi again.

SO in total, I’ve definitely been an EEnE character 7 times, possibly 8.  I’ve been Edd and Eddy like 2-3 times each, Ed once and Bro once.

I’ve deeply considered a Kevin costume, mainly for the fun confusion it would cause with my name. The outfit would be so easy but it’s too hard to sell me on wearing shorts on a cold Halloween night.

[bowling-for-killjoys]

A lot of you are going to think I’m overanalysing. That’s fine. Just don’t take the time out of your day to tell me it.

Okay, look. Ray’s post is the best thing I’ve ever seen, he is BABY and I love him sm, this cannot be denied. I just wanted to talk about a few things but I know I look like I’m overanalysing and it’s frustrating as hell but just roll with it.

1) Okay ignoring it’s the best post I’ve ever seen, it’s a little odd that it got posted on the mcr account. Ray has Twitter and Instagram, he could’ve posted it on his personal and we still would’ve seen it. I would’ve plastered it on every corner of the web until you did. The only reason I can think of for posting it on the mcr account is that it needed to be linked to them as a band, it couldn’t just be “hey look Ray is excited to go back and see Japan!”, it had to be brought back to the subject of mcr are going to Japan.

2) This is the second member of mcr to mention Japan when there’s other shows before that. Either they’re REALLY excited for Japan, more than the other shows, or this is a blatant hint that something is important about the Japan show. We just don’t question it bc we think it’s Ray and he’d never trick us. If any other members mention Japan, I’m coming back here and you will have to deal with a noisy brat on the tag.

3) the timing. The goddamn timing. Listen, I’m conditioned to question everything they do so when the post showed up on social media but NOT on the official mcr website, when every single other post they’ve made has? I watched that site like a hawk from approx (talking in LA time here, otherwise it’ll get confusing) 4:10PM and beyond. Constantly. Refreshing. If that post had appeared on the site at 4:29PM like it claims, I would’ve seen it. But I didn’t. Because it didn’t show up on the site until around 4:42PM. I stayed up until around 5:50PM (that’s nearly 2am here in the uk) watching it in case it got deleted but nothing happened so it’s here to stay.

This is the third (fourth, if you count that the “An Offering” video originally said it was posted at 1am, when it was actually 12:42AM, before it got deleted and reposted) post by an mcr member to claim to have been posted either before or after the time it actually was, but unless you were watching the site, you wouldn’t know!! There’s no way for me to actually prove (that I can think of) the post wasn’t there before 4:42PM outside of my word which is super frustrating.

I’m gonna be mad at myself for days that I didn’t screenshot the website before it appeared. The post appeared on all social media at 4:07PM, and though the website claims it got posted up there 22 minutes later, it was actually posted there 35 minutes later. If anyone miraculously happened to screenshot the website between 4:29PM and 4:42PM, please share!!

I know y’all are maybe gonna come at me telling me it’s some kind of error, that it was there before I saw it, that the website is messing up or whatever, but I’m telling y’all there are no coincidences in this era.

4) A lot of people are questioning if the photos he posted are old or not, I’d just like to offer this to help solve the mystery.

Ray in the pic posted last night // Ray during the after party of the Return show.

I definitely wouldn’t say that photo is new and that he’s physically in Japan rn. He mentions the first giant Gundam which apparently appeared in 2009, then was taken away and returned in 2011. The Unicorn Gundam apparently came about in 2017.

I don’t know what’s coming in Japan. I don’t know why they’re “time travelling” or whatever you all want to refer to it as. I just know it seems like something is coming at the end of March and I think it’s important. As far as we know, Japan is the last show before the Milton Keynes show, that leaves 3 months in between, do we really think it’ll be quiet that whole time?

Happy Birthday Scottish actor Richard Madden born June 18th 1986 in Elderslie.

Richard was raised by his mother, Pat, a classroom assistant and his father, Richard, who worked for the fire service. He also has two sisters, Cara and Lauren.

His parents were “hippies”, he says, and their house was pretty open, with friends always piling in for big vegetarian meals. Madden spent a lot of time outside, in the woods behind their house. He has several injuries: he shows me where he shot his dad’s old air pistol and blew off part of his finger, then managed to wreck the same finger when he nailed a wooden plank to his skateboard, then crashed it, so apart from the Hippie parents it was much like most of our own days as bairns.

Despite growing up wanting to be an actor, Richard was very shy during his childhood. To overcome this, at age 11, he joined Paisley Arts Centre’s youth theatre program. In 1999 he was given the lead role as Sebastian Simpkins in BBC1’s children’s TV comedy series Barmy Aunt Boomerang, that’s him aged 12 in the first pic with co-star Toyah Wilcox.. By 2000, he’d made his feature film debut in the Iain Banks adaptation, Complicity.

After high school he was accepted to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow, Scotland and in 2007, he graduated.

Less than two years later, Richard had a recurring role as Dean McKenzie on the 2009 BBC series Hope Springs. Soon after, he landed the role of Ripley in the 2010 movie Chatroom, a film about a group of teenagers who encourage each other’s bad behaviours after meeting online. In the same year, Richard played punk band Theatre of Hate singer Kirk Brandon in Worried About the Boy, a TV film about the life of British singer-songwriter Boy George.

In 2011 Richard landed his breakthrough role as Robb Stark in the HBO fantasy-drama series Game of Thrones. Also in 2011, he played gay paramedic Ashley Greenwick on the short-lived British comedy-drama Sirens. During hiatus from filming Game of Thrones in 2013, Richard was cast to star as Prince Charming in the 2015 Disney film Cinderella.

Richard won his first Screen Actors Guild award in 2014 for the Discovery Channel mini-series, Klondike. He played Bill Haskell, one of two adventurers who travel to Yukon, Canada during the Klondike Gold Rush in the 1890s. He further enhanced his reputation as a good actor when he appeared in the BBC drama Bodyguard in 2018, the following year he played Lieutenant Joseph Blake in the film 2017 and was Elton John’s manager/lover in the biop of the star Rocketman.

In January 2019 Madden won  a prestigious Golden Globe for his role as war veteran David Budd in the BBC show Bodyguard. He also appeared in the 2019 war movie 1917.

We last saw Richard in the movie,  Eternals, which was okay, but nothing great, he is one of several actors being touted as the next James Bond,

James is currently in the Amazon Prime series Citadel, I've watched the first three episodes and am not really impressed with it,I think he does pull of the American accent well, but I noticed there have been people saying he doesn't pull it off, Madden revealed he spoke in the accent for two years straight to prepare for the series. The show has been earmarked for a second series. Richard is set to appear in the feature film Killer Heat next.

In July 2019, Madden received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. When asked about his personal life during a New York Times interview following speculation about his relationships and sexuality, Madden stated: “I just keep my personal life personal.”

Madden was recently named one of ‘Scotland’s Sexiest Men'  following a new study that identifies the most attractive features for men, he has competition though,  also in the running are Bathgate’s David Tennant  and Glasgow’s James McAvoy,

Amber Heard Plastic Surgery Before as well as After

At least that's what Dr. Julian De Silva, a London-based cosmetic surgeon, concluded when he examined the 33-year-old's features using computer mapping modern technology.

" The Phi ratio of 1.618 has actually long been believed to hold the trick for elegance," he states. After determining Amber and other superstars across 12 essential pens for the nose, lips, eyes, temple, chin, and facial symmetry and form, he discovered that Amber came closest to the old Greek principles for physical perfection thanks to cosmetic surgery! Visit Website and see pictures before and after plastic surgery!

" [She] has one of the most lovely faces in the world, racking up a high 91.85 percent."

Certainly, a cosmetic surgeon greater than any person would recognize that the supposed "best" face proportions can be accomplished by going under the knife. Interestingly sufficient, Dr. De Silva's formula scored Kim Kardashian 91.39 percent, as well as most of us, recognize there's nothing all-natural regarding her!

So did Amber additionally have a little aid? Allow's learn!

Amber in 2005

Our first shot was from back in 2005 when Brownish-yellow was 19 years old. She's got the same dirty blonde hair color, the same eyes, and also the very same lovely skin. What's various compared to now? I think it's generally to do with her mouth. We can see that her top lip was naturally a lot thinner than the reduced one, for starters.

Amber in 2006

In this more front-facing shot from 2006, we get a far better consider her initial nose. It appears a little broader and extra noticeable compared to more recent photos. Additionally, her smile doesn't have that "Hollywood" look yet; I think since she has a little bit of an overbite. Keep in mind the thinner brows, which got on the pattern back then.

Amber in 2007

In 2007, Brownish-yellow was still undressed (I think!). I'm rather sure I would not have acknowledged her in this shot. Again, the distinction is all in the mouth-- her overbite is triggering her teeth to protrude over her reduced lip slightly, and also, her top lip isn't almost as full. The makeup is additionally rinsing her complexion. I assume the structure is too matte and grainy and can make use of some measurement from bronzer or flush.

Amber in 2008

In 2008, she cycled via several hair colors. First, it was back to her natural dirty blonde-- however, styled in these stiff, retro curls. (There was a genuine old Hollywood moment around this moment, do you keep in mind? Scarlett Johansson made use of to use this type of appearance too!) Brownish-yellow's teeth are additionally brighter, although there are many more changes to find. When it comes to the "bunny lines" close to her nose, sometimes those can occur from Botox. However, she was only 22 at this time ... hmmm!

Amber in 2009

The black hair had actually faded right into this deep brownish by the list below year, which Amber paired with a spray tan and spiky false lashes. From this angle, I see two points. She still has that minor overbite appearance (which she does not have currently). Plus, her nose still has the same little bump on the bridge, similar to 2007.

Amber in 2010

After that came one more significant change in 2010. To accompany her initial film functions as the women lead (in Drive Angry and The Rum Diary), she upgrades both her hair color and makeup. This warm blonde is a lot kinder to her complexion, and the great smoky eyes and flushed cheeks are tranquil. I don't think she altered anything additional regarding her features at this time ... yet stay tuned!

Amber in 2011

The list below year, Amber was a blonde once more, but this time around, it looks a lot extra brightened. Although I'm still not fascinated by the color, the smooth styling makes her appearance equally the star. One more monitoring: spray tans were a whole lot extra obvious in this age! The same chooses the makeup, which is heavy-handed. When it comes to her teeth, they're whiter and brighter than ever before. She had veneers because the shapes and sizes are different from 2008.

Amber in 2012

At age 26, Amber had yet an additional hair color change, and also, this one's my favorite of all, a warm medium brown. I can bear in mind caring about this at the time, and I really feel the same way already! Orange lipstick was a huge trend that year, as well as Brownish-yellow is using it with attractive fresh skin. Her eyebrows have actually also completed rather, compared to 2006. But there could be something else adding to this look ... a little tweak to her nose. Bear in mind; celebrities typically change their hair at the same time to toss us off!

Amber in 2013

Amber's redhead hair was just as gorgeous in 2013. I really did a double-take with this photo-- initially, look, I thought it was Miranda Kerr! You have to admit that she looks extremely modelesque with the marginal makeup and side-swept, brushed-out waves.

Amber in 2014

I think 2014 was the year that Brownish-yellow truly "made it" as a star, ending up being a regular on the red carpet. The first thing that leaps out in this image is her top lip. Does it look fuller because the edge has been overdrawn with lip lining? Or did she have a little something infused? I'm not sure!

Amber in 2015

Okay, by 2015, I definitely assume Brownish-yellow was messing around with hyaluronic acid lip shots. See just how the bottom side of her top lip is quite lumpy? She also had this very same expression in 2007, and also, her top lip did not have this much fullness. I believe she finally arrived at her "Life Colour" with this blonde in other news. She has remained near to this color since!

Amber in 2016

Does Brownish-yellow get prettier and also prettier or what? She was 30 in this image, and I'm enjoying the off-the-face updo as well as glowy makeup. Red lipstick has actually started to become her point currently (it additionally makes lip injections less obvious!). You'll see that her mouth setting appears a lot more loosened up, perhaps since her teeth are no more protruding as much.

Amber in 2017

Hair and makeup always boost considerably as individuals climb the celeb ladder, and this appearance is no exemption. The tousled beachy hair, great brown smoky eyes, shaded brows, contoured cheeks, and matte tarnished lips are all extremely innovative (and were no question implemented by specialists). Notice how her top lip now matches the dimension of her lower one.

Amber in 2018

With a streamlined ponytail as well as red lipstick, this ensemble was perhaps Amber's most developed look today. See what I indicate about the red lipstick camouflaging the plumped-up lip( s)? Although she is putting on a heavier layer of the structure, the makeup is excellent. Her face also appears a lot more angular currently, possibly from age, weight-loss, or tension. Honestly, I think she looks a little tired. (Stars! They're just like us!).

Amber in 2019

That brings us to Amber's latest pic-- and even with red lipstick, these lips stick out. They're absolutely the plumpest she's needed today, as well as are what obtained me thinking of this Before & After, to begin with! Fortunately, they're balanced by extremely, very little makeup, an off-the-face hairstyle, and her max eyebrows yet.

Conclusion

Before I started this Before & After, I thought Brownish-yellow underwent a few cosmetic tweaks to rack up so high with Dr. De Silva's algorithm.

Specifically, I believed a nose job-- similar to the majority of celebs we have actually looked at in this column. Now that I've analyzed her red carpet images, I still think that procedure. But this is just one of the more difficult instances to inform without a doubt!

With her face angled sideways, there's not a considerable distinction in her account over the years, except perhaps a much less forecasted suggestion. When she's facing the electronic camera, she could have had some traditional sculpting to tighten her nostrils and develop a more button-like idea.

Something I bank on, nonetheless-- Amber made huge modifications to her lips as well as teeth!

There's no denying that she explores lip injections these last few years to boost her upper lip's dimension.

What made the largest difference was addressing her protruding teeth, probably with something like Invisalign's undetectable dental braces. Currently, when she smiles, her teeth no more overlap her bottom lip. She additionally has a much whiter, more even smile, likely because of a combination of teeth lightening and porcelain veneers.

When we consider plastic surgery, we do not generally think about aesthetic dentistry, yet Brownish-yellow's Before & After goes to show you exactly how transformative it can be!

As a memorial for my first tablet, which died this year, I put together pieces from each year that I had it (it lasted for almost 12 years!) Also I’m curious to see how my art evolved over the years, and this was a good excuse.

Analysis of each year under the cut:

2008: -Got my first tablet in September (the top pic was my very first attempt with it aaa) -Was into fanimations and creating fanart of peoples' OCs, and Japanese stuff in general -Made several attempts at original stories, but they barely lasted after creating the characters --However, I did have two stories that I made fair progress on: one of my group of friends at the time, and a horror story with disabled protagonists

2009: -I was very into horror tropes at this time, so it was difficult to find early stuff that didn't have blood on it :'D -HETALIA -My art themes immediately moved into Cuteness Territory, which I've pretty much stuck with to now -Also pretty much adopted Himaruya's art style almost overnight -The prototype characters of Kaleidoscope Children began here, though I didn't start making proper art of them until next year

2010: -So much Hetalia and chibi content (I should put a cuteness warning next time) -Played around with different art techniques -Discovered SAI -Finally completed a group picture (with 50+ characters!), which is a big accomplishment considering how easily I get bored/burnt out --This was probably the first pic I did that got fairly popular

2011: -Moved over from Photoshop to SAI as my primary art program (PS was only used for extra effects) -Finally drew fanart that wasn't Hetalia, haha -My first commission -Out of my old artwork, this year was perhaps my favourite; there are a lot of works I'm still really pleased with

2012: -Half of my art this year was digital paint, and the other half was 'attempted digital watercolour', which I never really mastered... -First attempt applying for an art job (I didn't get it, but in retrospect I'm glad I didn't, I wasn't ready yet :'D ) -Joined an art contest (and only one) on deviantart

2013: -The number of original pics outnumbered fanart (especially Hetalia, I probably drew it once a year for the next few years) -In previous years I made a couple of attempts at a simplified/more cartoony art style, but didn't really settle on something until this year, though I still primarily stuck to my more anime-influenced style -Used the Fringe tool for shading for a few years

2014: -Too busy with school, probably only made like 5 proper pics this entire year -For the next few years, I drew eyes where the lineart has no gaps between the eyelids (so more Western-ish) -Started experimenting with darker shading -First attempt at detailed food

2015: -Also not very productive -Got a food art commission

2016: -Still not very productive -First 500+ note popular pic -Stopped adding highlights to hair

2017: -Started reviving KalChi and gave them new profile pics -Wasn't super proud of my art style at this point (particularly how I drew eyes)

2018: -BNHA -Finally I had a series to obsess over again and draw lots of fanart for again! -For some reason, something clicked toward the end of the year, and I started to really like drawing??? (not that I had low self-esteem about my art, but most of what I drew didn't feel grand or special or super memorable) -New tricks: Multiply for the lineart layer, also finally drawing a decent BG instead of mostly blank/basic BGs

2019: -New lineart technique, which for lack of a better term I call the 'traditional/marble-chiseling technique', which makes me feel like less of a perfectionist due to the rougher lineart 👍 (i.e.: the rough sketch becomes the final lineart, I don't make a separate layer for the final lineart anymore) -Drew eyes differently (lineart gaps again and smaller irises) inspired by BNHA's art style -Getting back into making comics frequently again -Also more proper BGs! -Perhaps the highest enjoyment I've had yet

2020: -Zines! -The most detail I've done yet -Tablet dies in the middle of my 3rd zine work in mid-late summer (R.I.P.), while I finished it with my backup tablet --This became my first 1000+ note popular pic!

Bedroom Poster Tour!

Since I cannot talk due to my cheek being huge its gonna be a silent photo+caption tour.

My room is on the attic. I moved into this room in the summer of 2009/10 I don't remember. It was right before 8th grade.

Before it was my bedroom it was my brother and my playroom. Hence why there is writing and holes in the wall.

The Big Time Rush poster was the first poster I ever bought. I was the second poster in my room. They watch me sleep every night. I am still a huge BTR stan.

Below is a photo of my love, Rachel Brosnahan. It was an ad for the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on a Cosmo issue and I put it on my wall because I love her.

I have two of this Sheldon Cooper posters because for the 3 years my family had cable I was OBSESSED with The Big Bang Theory and I related to Sheldon a lot. Idk where the 2nd one is.

This is my little memorial for Cory Monteith. He passed in 2013 and I took that loss so hard because he was such a hero to me. This shrine is made of photos from my Glee calendar that I cut up.

Then we have my Iron Man 3 poster because I have been in love with Tony Stark for like 12 years and I needed to represent that in my room.

In this pic I have 2 Beatles posters. The second is hidden behind my headboard. I don't have to tell you I am obsessed with the Beatles. Those posters were made by my sister in law.

The Sharply Evans poster is an AUTHENTIC High School Musical poster from like 2007. Because even as a 23 year old adult I still will watch HSM and sing along to the songs.

Above her is more Glee stuff. Everything that is Glee related in my room is from ONE calendar.

Then there is my Joker poster which I love with my soul.

Every basic bitch Beatles stan has an Abbey Road poster. Funnily enough, I got this poster BEFORE my Beatles obsession started. I wanted it because my favorite teacher had it and I liked how it looked.

A HSM2 poster from the HSM game I got for DS on Christmas.

More Glee shit.

The Killers thing because I loved that movie when I first saw it. Tbh haven't seen it in years.

That paper and poem were important to me in middle school and I just haven't taken them down.

Behind my record player is a pic of HSM1 Troy Bolton. And Nicole Kidman.

Can't really see the Prince Caspian poster but yes I was a Narnia whore.

And that Peeta poster I got before I watched the film - which I actually hate - I bought it because I read the book and Peeta was my favorite character.

Some Camp Rock stuff from my Camp Rock calendar. I got a lot of themed calendars in my youth.

These are all from that Glee calendar. I have more but this is all that fit in this pic.

My dad bought me this for Christmas a few years ago because I love New York City so fucking much. Its where I was born and where I strive to live when I can afford it. I haven't taken the cardboard off because its not where I want it permanently and we're also moving soon.

BONUS:

This framed Beatles was $200 at Pilgrim Furniture and it is my most prized possession. Tied with my laptop. Its not in my room, its at the entrance of the stairs to get to my room. My room walls are weak af so I couldn't it them in my room

This painting also isn't in my room, its at the top of the stairs that lead to the front door. My dad's co-worker painted it and my dad bought it. He surprised me with it and I fucking love it.
