BRINLEE TAYLOR || colour aesthetic ✨yellow ✨

not so much a bright in your face yellow, but the soft, toned down, warmer hues of yellow. like the warmth of golden hour, or the sweetness of amber tinted honey. like a sunset where you can still feel the last of the warm rays of sunshine on your skin, but without the blinding brightness.

open starter || @malnatimedia​

“Damn it!” Nic shouted, stumbling back from the glass wall in a ungraceful manner. Her eyes darted around the room, looking to see if anyone had seen her…less than smooth attempt to exit the building in a hurried manner. She’d been having trouble sleeping again–what else is knew–but last night had taken the cake. Her brain felt foggy and slow to grasp her surroundings, but it was not in Nic’s nature to slow down, ever. So when her alarm had gone off this morning, she’d jumped out of bed, threw on her civvies as grabbed her badge, choosing to stop by the local donut shop on the way to work for her morning cup of joe. Bad idea. Without the requisite caffeine intake before starting her day, the blonde had wound up running straight into a glass wall, assuming it was the door she had been attempting to exist from. Rubbing her forehead vigorously, she connected eyes with someone close by and sighed. “Alright, here’s the deal–you mention this to no one and I’ll buy you a cup of coffee, ok?”

[brin-taylor]

Truth be told, Brinlee hadn’t been paying much attention to her surroundings. She’d been otherwise occupied with checking her work schedule and seeing what kind of appointments she had coming up. But she had looked up when she heard the outburst and her brows furrowed momentarily when she saw Nic taking a step back only to smooth immediately when she quickly pieced together what happened. Brin couldn’t even say anything considering the amount of times she’d very nearly done the same thing early in the morning before her coffee, so she wasn’t going to even acknowledge it planning to turn her eyes away before Nic even knew anyone saw. But she wasn’t quite quick enough and her eyes met Nic’s briefly before she was shaking her head. “Mention what?” She asked, willing to play oblivious for the sake of the woman not being embarrassed. “I didn’t see anything.” She quickly added before smiling. It wasn’t technically a lie either. She hadn’t actually seen it happen, merely pieced together what she could safely assume happened. “How about I buy you a cup of coffee instead? You seem like you might need it more than I do right now.” 

[ryderxmms]

“‘ave you seen a stack of guitar picks anywhere?” ryder asked, plucking his last one from between his teeth as he flopped down into one of mal’s booths. his guitar, which was strapped to his back, was now set aside leaning against the leather. “either jacks keeps stealing them all - not that i’m saying my best bud would take things from me,” he said with a lopsided grin, “but! they have all seem to be misplaced. all but one, of course,” he held up the emerald green pick between his fingers as his elbow was propped against the wooden tabletop, “gotta love envy. been with me from the start. it probably sounds dumb to get so attached to a piece of plastic, but hey, you gotta get your emotional support somewhere.” ryder said with a huff of a laugh, slumping back into the booth fully now as he looked up at the person across from him. 

[brin-taylor]

Glancing up from her book as she heard a voice, Brinlee flashed a brief smile at Ryder as he seemed to settle himself down across from her. “I’m sorry, I can’t say I have. But I can keep an eye out for them.” She took a moment to slip her bookmark in to save the page she was on, tucking the book back into her bag now before turning her attention to what Ryder was saying. Though she immediately shook her head at the mention of it being dumb. “No, I don’t think it is. Ryder, I still carry around the first pencil I ever drew with despite the fact that it’s so small it’s unusable now.” She admitted with a slight embarrassed flush on her cheeks and gentle laugh. “If anyone understands sentimental attachment to an object, it’s me.” In fact, Brin could remember a time when she thought she’d lost her pencil case that contained her first pencil and she remembered the panic she’d felt then. Like she had potentially lost an important treasure. And she remembered the relief when she’d found it and how much more careful she’d been since then. “I’m guessing that pick has a story though? Was envy the one you first learned guitar with or used for your first show?”

       * ! “you know, if you told me months ago that i’d be in miami thinking about chicago, i would have called you a liar.” it had been two weeks since she left the malnati, jetting off to miami and then los angeles for a few days. promo, magazine interviews, recording studios, a shooting a music video — it had been crammed into fourteen days. god, moira was glad to be back HOME. “i did miss chicago but i did not miss the weather. cold weather and i don’t mix.”

[brin-taylor]

Raising a brow as she glanced over at Moira, Brinlee just smiled softly before she was nodding. “You know, I’d call you crazy for missing Chicago when you’re in Miami of all places, but I can’t say I blame you. I love travelling as much as the next person, but home is home.” Chicago was her born and raised home, and she could never be away for long before she started to miss the comforts and familiarity of her city. Though she laughed at the mention of the weather. “Is it bad if I say I prefer cold weather if only for the clothing?” Brinlee was a fan of all things cozy and with cooler weather came time for sweaters and large scarves and boots, and she was never disappointed in that shift. 

[brin-taylor]

if your muse were in the hunger games, what would be their weapon of choice?

Brinlee in the hunger games would be an emotional mess. She wouldn’t know what to do and would be at war with herself. Part of her would want to be one of the first to die in the games because she wouldn’t have it in her to kill anyone else and wouldn’t want to see anyone else die. But she also wouldn’t want to put her death into anyone else’s hands and have them carry that guilt, so she would be struggling. 

That being said, if she were to have a weapon and actually fight in the games, she would have a bow and arrow. It’s a weapon that keeps some distance and would be the only thing she would have in her to use. It can be used offensively or defensively, though Brin would largely be using it defensively.

playlist + from prom!

Prom to Brinlee is like a celebration of making it through high school. It’s the last night of letting loose and having fun with people she may never see again. So her playlist is a mishmash to try to reflect that full of dance songs, things people can sing along to at the top of their lungs, and songs to pump them up and use as their celebratory anthems. 

i. hey ya! -Outkast ii. we are young -FUN iii. can’t hold us -Macklemore iiii. last friday night -Katy Perry v. wake me up -Avicii vi. can’t help falling in love (cover) -Twenty One Pilots vii. party in the usa -Miley Cyrus viii. don’t stop believing -Journey ix. you should be dancing -BeeGees x. shake it off -Taylor Swift
