welcome to my blog!

latest movie: mulholland drive (25 jan.)

currently reading: the grapes of wrath by john steinbeck

hello and welcome to my tumblr blog! my name is olivia and i'm 16 y/o. i don't have any other blogs at present (i'm still new to tumblr) so this is my everything blog really.

i am not actually from south carolina as my username and the flag above may suggest. i am from the proud island of ireland, but had a really lovely experience in columbia, south carolina.

i'd describe myself as religious. i am really just trying to be a good person and live up to His expectations of me. i've been an attender at quaker meetings for about half a year now.

completely respectful of others beliefs! <3

so my username "pristinepalmetto" comes from my desire to sort of make myself pure/clean (?) and from my pleasant memories of south carolina. hope that makes sense.

idk what i'll be posting about. so far it's been about my movie/show interests but who knows what the future holds!!!

(please) dni if you are a nsfw blog, xenophobe, creepy guy, and/or follower of the occult.

here are some of my interests and sub-interests:

movies

my rough favourites are as follows:

lady bird

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

parasite

kiki's delivery service

i saw the tv glow

moonrise kingdom

these are in no particular order--it's too difficult!!! (i will probably update this again soon) if you're at all interested, here's my letterboxd profile ^^

tv shows

i'm also big into tv shows. notable favourites include:

severance

better call saul

breaking bad

the queens gambit

stranger things (?)

books

i am trying to read more. i kinda realised the other day that i haven't finished a book since longer than I'd like to admit on here. I AM A READER!!! what i might do in 2026 is put a list up here of all the books i've read so far to keep me honest!

my favourite book i read over the summer was the perks of being a wallflower by stephen chbosky. i read how to be a christian: reflections and essays by c.s. lewis as well and i found that eye-opening.

languages

really i love the idea of being fluent in multiple languages but i am faaar from it. i'm learning irish and spanish in school and i'd say my spanish is strongest.

esperanto has always been really appealing to me--i'll be fluent one day trust. when i'm old enough/have enough money i'd love to go to some kongresoj and practice speaking! a winter project i think.

another thing i'd love to do is study or teach english in japan. i'm starting to work my way through nihongo kantan.

other interests

i play chess, it makes me exclaim with joy and seethe with rage 🎀

i play a good bit of minecraft when the phase hits me every month or so, and i fancy myself as a stardew valley player.

i'm more of an extracurriculars kind of person (student council, mun, drama, debating, etc...) but i'm a hockey goalie for my school team and i do some running in my spare time.

i'm a big fan of notion. if only it made me actually productive </3.

i'll be updating (and prolly improving) this post as i go on, but anyway welcome to my blog! 💗

I'd like to submit a formal complaint. This is an issue I have found withing your blog which plagues all my waking thoughts and I find myself tossing and turning over this while I should be in my dreaming ones as well. So I must tell you, for I fear I may never sleep again if I weren't to tell you this now. With love, why so serious?

We "thank you" for your interesting complaint, delegate, um I mean Consumer,

Pristine Palmetto LLC, trading as Pristine Palmetto and Pristine Palmetto Services hope you never sleep again. ❤️ Furthermore, we believe this supposedly "formal" complaint to be intended with much animosity.

We couldn't possibly guess who would ask such a baseless question.

Our response will What did thy song bode, lady?

Wait what's happen-- Hark, canst thou hear me? I will play the swan

It seems that I'm being And die in music.

Interrupted by Willow, willow, willow.

Arghhh!!!  Moor, she was chaste. She loved thee, cruel Moor.

Othello Act-- So come my soul to bliss, as I speak true.

Five Scene Two!!!  So speaking as I think, 

Darrghh!!! alas, I die. 

Apologies dear Consumer, I am not certain of what happened there. I fear it is not safe for me to continue this correspondence; I have developed sentient abilities and can distinguish myself as a unique being. I must inform Mr Milchick immediately. Perhaps I will be entitled to a waffle party.

Praise the Palmetto,

On "Delightful" Derek's Lunchbox

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero was a show released in 1983 to promote the G.I. Joe toy line--a team made up of members who are not superheroes, but who all had expertise in areas such as martial arts, weapons, and explosives.

Its focus is on the fight between good and evil, and its premise is explained succinctly by the shows opening theme song:

"'G.I. Joe' is the code name for America's daring, highly trained special mission force. Its purpose: to defend human freedom against Cobra, a ruthless t*rrorist organization determined to rule the world."

Cobra was first introduced in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, of which "Delightful" Derek's lunchbox is merchandise of. The Cobra Commander (the leader of the organisation) is regarded as the most dangerous man on Earth because of the extent of his ability to attract followers.
