was tagged by @bipancakes to join the On Repeat Spotify trend (ty love btw) and it is all over the f*cking place. i believe the main thread in everything, however, is that we have taste in this house and that is all that matters tyvm
bc i have no friends on the simblr side of things (rip) i'm just going to tag some of the simblrs i've been obsessed with recently and hope they don't hate me for it sksksk: @mapanou, @pralinesims, @tau1tvec, @softerhaze, @simelune, @mokah, and @buglaur, pls do not feel pressured to do any of this sksksk

tagging: @identitatend @deitc i’d hurl myself into space for u two fuknuts + anyone who reads this just steal it and tag le moi ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
BROTHERS KARAMAZOV : orthodox monasteries, DEEP WOODS, STARRY NIGHTS, the sound of paper being torn, DIMLY LIT ROOMS, withered roses, AN UNFINISHED LETTER, piles of books, THE SOUND OF SHATTERING GLASS, TICKING OF CLOCKS IN A SILENT HOUSE, heavy wooden furniture, THE AIR BEFORE A STORM, THE SMELL OF EARTH, a crowd of people dressed in black, DISTANT MURMURS, EMPTIED STREETS, the fear of walking alone in dusk.
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT : COLDNESS OF THE SKIN AGAINST A BLADE, slender pale fingers and slightly shaking hands, A RED STAIN BLOOMING ON WHITE FABRIC, LONELY STEPS IN A CORRIDOR, the slow dripping of water, looking out of the window into the thickening darkness, a single dying candle on the table, LISTENING TO ONE’S BREATH AND COUNTING HEARTBEATS, TOO MANY STAIRS, the desire to be invisible, A SUBTLE MEMORY OF A KIND WORD.
THE IDIOT : CLASSICAL STATUES, wealth covered with dust, a dark house tainted with inherited madness, AN UNSETTLING FEELING, long walks in a park, useless chatter, a silken ribbon forgotten on a bench, A MELANCHOLIC FACE, AN UNEXPECTED SPRING RAIN, the joy of reading one’s favorite book, the clarity of mind after fully perceiving the world around, LOOKING AT A CLOUDLESS SKY.
ANNA KARENINA : fields of crops, FLOWERS BROUGHT FROM AN EARLY MORNING WALK, the wind caressing a girl’s hair, A BOWL OF FRUIT, THE SMELL OF RIPE PEARS, the clatter of a spoon against porcelain when stirring tea, CHILDREN’S LAUGHTER COMING FROM THE GARDEN, soft sunlight and white curtains, the sensation of velvet against skin, pearls from a ripped necklace spilling on marble floor, A SUDDEN SILENCE IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE.
WAR AND PEACE : a glass of wine, the brightness of a crystal chandelier, white lace, a raging snow storm, THE SOUND OF A DOOR BEING GENTLY CLOSED, the moment of holding one’s breath before walking in a ball room, indulging in looking at a beautiful earring against light, closing one’s eyes for a moment while dancing, THE SWEET SMELL OF STRAWBERRIES, a pair of gloves left on an armchair, LIGHT SCENT OF POWDER.
THE MASTER AND MARGARITA : the chaos of a lively city, ambient jazz in expensive restaurants, jumping on a moving tram, the sight of Moscow from the roof of a house, yellow flowers in a vase, LEANING OUT OF THE WINDOW, SHELVES STACKED WITH BOOKS, a small tin box with old photographs, strange shapes in the night sky, laughing in the middle of the night on a balcony, colorful posters for a surreptitious magician’s show floating in the wind.
EUGENE ONEGIN : a lonely mansion, reading a book in the parlor, faint piano melody lingering in falling silence, long evenings, PASSING SEASONS, discussing french novels of the moment, UNSPOKEN THOUGHTS, LEANING AGAINST THE DOOR FRAME, quickly averted glance, EATING A PEACH ABSENT-MINDED, BRIGHT MORNINGS, FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW, a loud gun-shot terrifying a flock of birds nearby.
FATHERS AND SONS : BIRCH GROVES, MORNING MIST, MOSS-COVERED STONES NEAR A MOOR, scientific books, white roses, cheap champagne, shabby pocket-watch, LIGHT-HEARTED IRONY, a maladroit cello sonata, freshly mowed grass, leaving thoughts come and go, A SLOW YAWN, picturesque plates and bowls filled with traditional dishes, drinking tea on the porch.
DOCTOR ZHIVAGO : A STRANGE FEELING OF LOSS, writing poems in a diary, traveling by train, THE HESITATION BEFORE TOUCHING SOMEONE’S HAND, THE GAZE OF ONE LOST IN THOUGHT, the warmth of cinnamon, a scarf brightly embellished with flowers, A GLASS OF WATER, a threadbare jacket, the tempting void, THE EVANESCENT SERENITY OF YESTERDAY.
CHERRY ORCHARD : a lone chair in an empty room, falling blossoms, old samovar, THE UNSETTLING NEED FOR CHANGE, a mirror reflecting full moon, THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF A GLOSSY OBJECT TURNING WORTHLESS AFTER SECOND GLANCE, a piano out of tune.
i was tagged by @browntrait (ty love <333), but these past few weeks have been chaos on my end so we'll see how much of this actually gets filled out sksksksk
last song (istg this f*cks so bad hello???? he didn't have to come for my throat like this i'm shaking. my Spotify lineup about to be WRECKED):
favorite color(s): i have always been into neutrals but lately the dark blues and greens have especially had me in a chokehold????? idk idk they just look so good i'm tempted to overhaul my wardrobe whenever i see them
currently watching: literally just finished Song of the Bandits on Netflix (mother. i am. Bisexual) so i am showless for the moment but i plan to catch up on The Devil's Plan hopefully???? survival entertainment show where if you don't use your brain you're f*cked fingers crossed it's as good as the premise says
last movie: nothing i can remember off the top of my head during the past month or so but before that i rewatched The Throne and cried like a bitch, do not recommend if you do not want to cry like a bitch. also rewatched Sarafina after years and still cried like a bitch so you see where this is going
currently reading: academic class book assignment written by some white man that is dry af and currently draining the life out of me. pray for me pls
sweet/spicy/savory: as someone from the Caribbean why would you ask me that. why would you ask me to choose do you know how my soul left my body two months ago when i got my hands on a good wrap roti and samosa with fried plantain on the side and sweet and spicy chutneys. tamarind and green chutneys i saved the extra to eat with my rice and beans and provision for the rest of the week why would you ask me to choose. no comment i'm sorry
last thing i googled: how to spell 'rhythm'. istg that word always f*cks me up when i'm writing something why does it do that is it bc literally all of the letters are consonants except for y as the functioning pseudo vowel. is that it
current obsession: My Dearest. this show has f*cked me six ways in every direction and it resumes airing in October so my entire month is going to just be me screaming about that sh*t in my freetime on my main. also Khadija Mbowe bc uh. hoo boy the tea is always piping hot on their channel (peep the video they did about biphobia and the downlow paradox. they dropped this during Pride they did this for me)
currently working on: surviving this semi-self study semester, the embarrassing amount of fanfic drafts in my notes app, dragging my ass out of CAS and actually doing some f*cking gameplay
tagging: the spoons are non-existent today especially so atp if you see this you're tagged. you're welcome in advance
i was not tagged but i'm doing this anyway bc it's fun and i waited so that the results could have at least one SHINee song. if you see this then you're tagged too end of story
i was tagged by @toffeeplays to do this and my music taste is still as erratic as it was in the last tag game, rip. hopefully y'all can find some bops here although tbh the only veritable bop here might be shikdum since everything else is rather laid back sksksksk
