21. 7. 2021 | hello, i hope you are doing well these days. 💕 i'm posting this a few days after i shared these photos on my instagram, but i won't stress about it. i made this tumblr for this exact reason - to not be stressed about when i post and what i post.
anyways, here is the spread i made for bts' eighth anniversary! ✨ it took me some time to actually sit down and make this spread. i absolutely love the pastel colorful photoshoot and it would be a crime to not to use it in a spread. i spent a few days working on this one and i have to say, i love how it turned out. i also used some new stickers i got and they just fit perfectly with this theme.
i made spreads for each anniversary in the past four years, and i think this is my fav one so far. if you want to see the one for the seventh anniversary, you will find it on my Instagram. 💗💞
15. 8. 2021 | recently i really wanted to re-make one of my old spreads and i decided right away that it has to be serendipity. this song really came out when i needed it the most and it means so much to me. in 2018 i made a spread for it and it was one of my favorite spreads at that time, i was so proud of myself for creating it. it's not one of my faves anymore but looking at it still warms up my heart.
i really wanted to recreate it while trying to make it similar. i went for a calligraphy title because back then i was still learning, i used the same photos, wrote the same part of the song, used golden stickers instead of golden washi tape, and so on. to be honest, i'm really happy with how it came out. it was kind of therapeutic to make this spread and i had so much fun with it. 💛💛
15. 7. 2021 | i shared this spread on instagram earlier this week, so you might have seen it already. it's funny how i am sharing this now and txt is about to have another comeback next month. 😭 i'm definitely not ready because i enjoyed this era so so much and i really don't want it to end... but i'm still very excited. 😮💨💞
this week i haven't been so active on social media because i felt like doing nothing. you probably know that feeling. however, today i went to pick some blueberries with my mom and sister and it was nice to spend some time outside. it took us like an hour or two but i'm so tired so i think i will sleep well today. 💕
11. 7. 2021 | i'm sharing my june setup quite late, but that's okay. the first week of june was actually included in the may setup because i had my final oral exams and i just didn't have the time or energy or even idea how i want the june theme to look like. so i just made it later, once i passed all the exams. 🥰
at the end, i decided to go for this decorative brown-red-green rolling stones photoshoot-inspired theme. making it was a lot of fun. i wasn't even sure if i should keep bullet journaling through the summer because i finished grammar school and didn't have any plans, but i'm glad i didn't stop. yes, i do some planning sometimes but i mostly just write how my days went and express gratitude. 💗💞
6. 8. 2021 | i have been so excited to share this spread on here. i absolutely love doing something like series of spreads. in the past, i've done bts as greek gods or bts in hogwarts hauses, and like a year ago i started working on bts as magical creatures. recently i made this spread for jungkook so that means i only have jin left and then i will be done with the series. once i finish it i might make like a big post, but you can find spreads for others on my instagram for now. 💗
to be honset, jungkook was a tough one, i had quite a lot of ideas but didn't know for which one to go. as you can see, i went for a dragon. and not only did a make this, but i also came with an idea for a fanfiction. to make it clear, i read fanfictions like, all the time, but i don't write them. sometimes i just get these ideas, but my writing skills are just not... there. i tried to write something in the past, but i have no idea what i am doing and literally never finish anything.
i still wanted to share this idea here because it has been on my mind for some time and who knows, maybe someone else will like the idea and write it one day. so here I go.
yoonkook | dragon jeon jungkook | witch min yoongi
imagine
dragons have two forms - dragon form, their true form, and human form. but even in a human form, anyone is able to tell that they are dragons. they still have wings, and scales on some parts of their body, their eyes stay the same and depending on their kind they can also have horns, claws, or other things.
dragons are not born evil, how some might think. they can be nice, but other creatures are still terrified of them.
jungkook is a beautiful black dragon, who grew up with his family in mountains, far from anyone else. and since day one, he is a black sheep of their family. jungkook is way more gentle and soft-hearted than any of his siblings. he has never been very fond of hunting, but oh, he has always been such a curious baby dragon. oftentimes he would change to his human form only to be scolded by his mother. she would always say, that he should be proud of being a dragon. show off his beautiful scales.
but no matter what his parents would say, he would always sneak to the forest - to find friends, to see the world. every time he would try to catch animals so he can play with them, not realizing that it doesn't matter in which form he is, they still can smell that he is a dragon. in the end, he would always return home sad, because all the animals ran away from him.
a few times he would come across a different creature while exploring the forest. and just like the animals, they would always run, not even giving him a chance.
sometimes he would go to the river and collect pretty rocks. when he went there for the first time, he came back to their cave all excited, showing his finds to his siblings. but they laughed at him and told him he is not supposed to collect rocks. he is a dragon, he should collect gold or silver, something with value. he cried that day because they said that there is something wrong with him. however, he would still keep his rocks, because they are so pretty. and he would go to the river for more, in secret.
and then there is this special place about which jungkook never told anyone. the flower fields. when he found this place, he thought it must be a heaven on earth. the flowers smell so nice and he would spend hours just laying in them. and one day he would collect few flowers and bring them (in secret) to the cave. the next day was probably the saddest day in his whole life. the flowers died overnight. he killed something so beautiful.
and as time went by, jungkook would slowly accept the fact that he is a beast that everyone fears. he would still wonder if there is any place where he would fit. he has always been the weird one among dragons, and it seems like the forest is not for him as well.
and one day, it would be just too much. once he reaches adulthood, he takes his precious rock and flies away. behind the mountains, in a direction, he never went before.
he spends a long time wandering around. until one day, he hurts his wing while hunting. he is well aware that hunting in the forest is not the best idea, but hunger is hunger.
and then something wild happens.
a man finds him lying there and doesn't run, he comes closer. and oh boy, he is beautiful. jungkook's brain stops functioning for a few long moments, until he realizes that man is not human, he is a witch.
he lets the witch come really close to his injured wing. maybe he should be more careful, but this is literally his first good experience with another creature (so far at least). the witch gently tells him the wound is not too deep, but that he has some herbs back at home that could help the healing process.
and that's how jungkook finds himself following the witch home. he learns that the witch's name is min yoongi.
the next few days jungkook spends in his dragon form, letting yoongi take care of him. even though he can't really talk to yoongi like this, it still feels like they became friends really quickly.
once his wing is healed enough, jungkook changes his form. he is very nervous about it, but yoongi helps him relax right away. jungkook is kind of clumsy in his human form and yoongi is so sweet and patient about it. they kind of start living together, some nights jungkook stays outside in his dragon form, and some nights he shares a bed with the witch.
yoongi shows jungkook a whole different way of living. he cooks meals without meat and jungkook can't even believe that he doesn't have to hunt. he also shows jungkook his books, helps him to learn how to read, explains everything the dragon is curious about.
yoongi also has cats, that are not scared of jungkook at all. it's actually a complete opposite - they love him. jungkook cried the first time when they cuddled together. they are so soft and adorable.
yoongi also takes jungkook to fields, where he collects flowers and herbs for his spells and potions. at first, jungkook is like no, I can't collect them, they will die, but yoongi quickly reassures him that it's fine and he shouldn't worry about it. so they collect what they need and once back at home yoongi shows jungkook how to press flowers so they stay all nice and pretty. literally, every day jungkook would ask if they can look at them already, but yoongi always tells him to be patient. in the end it all pays off - jungkook is so happy with how the pressed flowers look. once he gets better at reading, he starts learning about all kinds of flowers, plants, herbs, and animals too.
and that's how they continue living in their small cottage. with time they get closer, they start holding hands and cuddling, they exchange kisses, and jungkook swears he has never been happier, there is no day he is not thankful for leaving the cave and meeting the witch.
one day jungkook gives yoongi his favorite rock as a counting gift and explains to him that he would like yoongi to be his mate for life. yoongi accepts the rock and lets jungkook court him in a proper way.
and one night, in their little cottage, with candles all around them, they mate for the first time.
jungkook realizes that he is not a beast. he is just jungkook. a black dragon who is very curious, who loves pretty things like flowers or rocks, whole loves animals and reading. he finds a place where he belongs, right beside yoongi.
30. 7. 2021 | as you can see, this time i didn't hold back with using stickers. you know, i'm still trying to learn to just use that really pretty sticker and not to wait for a better chance. is it getting better? who knows. 😵💫
i've been listening to ptd like every day since it came out, what a masterpiece. however, making this spread was kind of a mess. it took days to make, my plans changed many times, a lot of printed photos weren't used. but I still like the outcome, so it's fine. 🧡✨
please enjoy your weekend and wait for my next post, i'm preparing something special that I haven't done before!
8. 7. 2021 | hello, welcome on my new blog ✨ my name is anna and i'm from a small country in europe. writing this a feel a little nervous, because even though i've been on tumblr for years now, i actually never posted anything.
this time around i'm only posting a photo of my baby chick keychain (it was a gift from a friend and i carried it with me during the final/school-leaving exams in may and june), but in the future i would like to post mostly photos of my spreads. i've been journaling for years now and it's such a lovely hobby.
besides journaling-related posts i want to post pretty much anything... sometimes i love to draw and paint, sometimes i love to read or watch something. sometimes i write and sometimes i don't do literally anything. i just want this blog to be my (and maybe yours too) safe space. 💗
