wow your koi betta is so stunning! makes me wish i could get a betta but alas, the college dorm rules only let us have one tank and my tank is. occupied by an evil frog whomst i love very much and would harass a betta.

thank you!! he’s already starting to change colors so I’m sure he’ll look a lot different even a month from now but he’s so spunky and goofy! he didn’t move a lot in his cup at the store but his vibes were impeccable and now he is living (what I hope is) his best life!

and I feel you w the one tank, living on campus was hard because of that but now that I’m with my parents... more tanks!!

say hi to your froggy for me! 🐸

method acting

you once knew a girl, stitched together parts of people she had once been rather than a person herself. she was an actress and her name changed as easily as the shows she took part in, but she took a part of the shows with her and never realized how much.

she isnt here anymore.

you once knew her as molly, cheerful and childish, sensitive and still innocent. she had bruises on her knees from the dance numbers but never once complained, and her hair was always perfectly done up in pigtails and everyone thought she was very charming and sweet. she didnt know of the fae or anything strange on campus but she was friends with the crows and everyone else because no one could resist her pure good-hearted friendship and she was truly one of the most beloved people on campus.

she changed her name once that show was over.

she was simply fox for a while, cunning and graceful and this was when she started to realize that there were fae. she wore her costume and even her character out of the theatre, and she never once thought she was attached to the name because it was only a character, and the name made her stand out and wasnt that fun and good. there were people around her and there were people who werent people around her and she started to attract the attention of the second type more than the first. on opening night one of her costume items was a necklace made of teeth and no one looked long enough to question it but they all knew that she had made her first trade, with those crystal beads we all had as kids and no one thought twice about it not even the fae in the audience because jimothy had always been a strange one, and plenty of students had his teeth. and by closing night she had more costume pieces that no one could source, and sometimes her outline was a bit blurry onstage and she did look more like a fox than a girl but everyone put it up to the theater twisting the lines of suspension of disbelief because all of the actors playing animals did look a little strange and the theater was just like that, but fox herself was the strangest of all the actors onstage and everyone believed how she was acting wholeheartedly even if it did last outside of the theater and even after the show had ended but theater kids are just like that so no one payed it too much mind.

there was a break in shows and she wasnt cast and she went by another name that you now think may have been her true name, but it has lost its meaning to the people she had once been by then. she was agitated and always auditioning for shows youd never known the university was producing but apparently they were, and when she never got cast she would wander around with a listless look and the feeling that something was missing from her but what was it. without a show to put on she attracted no attention and there was nothing to see and she helped out backstage sometimes and shed see things but they payed her little mind as what was a stagehand compared to a lead actress. she was practicing constantly and her roommate complained of her being stolen by the fae and while it was investigated it turned out that no, she was just like this now and havent you realized by now that theater kids are just like this.

eventually, she was cast in something and she was the stage manager no not as in the position but that was her character and consequently her name. this was when she started making deals and even doing things for others who were too scared to do so. she seemed to know too much and no one knew how but she was safer than most people had been on campus at least that was what she though because how could anyone get attached to being called the stage manager and that protected her more than the iron ring she held or even the salt she carried around in her back pocket. and the actual director called for her to have glasses so she bought some silver framed glasses and for the first time she could see the fae but not so well it was more of a out-of-the-corner of her eyes thing, and though it was useful it wasnt enough until she stole away into a chemistry lab one night, no one knows how she got it, and when she came back she had telltale burns on her hands from silver nitrate, and she could truly see the world around her and for the first time she was scared.

and once finally she was maria and she was very proud of herself and overjoyed but terrified she was very paranoid at this point but it was really only a matter of time because it always is for actors they just dont realize it until too late and she had begun carrying iron and salt and even cream to appease the gentry and items of value for a trade but none of that can truly guard against a true name and hers was common knowledge and she realized that too late on opening night when she felt a certain spark any time anyone said maria which was far too often and she realized her mistake and it was too late and there was nothing she could do and she made it until the last show night because not even the gentry will disrupt a show but on the closing night after curtain call when she had done her final bows as maria and she walked offstage and people asked where she was headed and it was to the dressing room to take her makeup off (and people hesitantly believed her it was a tuesday and nothing does go terribly wrong on tuesdays) but later she was spotted wandering into the forest still in full makeup and costume with a dream-like expression on her face and softly singing and the hills truly were alive with the sound of music

and maria was never seen again but sometimes in the forest youll hear a faint melody and youll know it and youll wonder if shes still out there, or if she ever made it to where she was going through those hills

and youll realize the lesson that many have learned the hard way, that method acting is truly dangerous here

tag questions!

THE RULES

-answer the questions you’re given

-write 11 more for the next group

-tag 11 people + the person who tagged you

I was tagged by @houmous-human here we go

1. If you could travel to anywhere in the world for a week-long holiday, where would you go?

I’d go back to Germany I think, or maybe the Netherlands.

2. If you could instantly have any talent (eg dancing, playing piano), what would you want?

If superpowers count pyrokinesis/shadowdancing but in normal human skill ranges, I want to be really good at archery! I wouldn’t mind being a good singer or writer either. I’d say acting but that’s cheating since I hope to make something of a career out of it.

3. What’s your favourite month and why?

I like June, it’s when the flowers really come out and the weather is nice but not murderously hot yet. October is nice too (Halloween is the best holidady no exceptions)

4. What’s something you like about yourself?

I have a lot of moles, people keep saying they’re freckles but they’re not. They’re cute! I also tan really well and I have a good nose.

5. Name a film, TV series or book you could re-watch or re-read again and again.

The Redwall series or Avatar: The Last Airbender

6. Do you have a favourite flower, if so, what flower is it?

Slipperwort! I also love morning glories, black roses, and tiger lilies.

7. If you could meet anyone in the world, who would you pick?

I don’t know, I don’t really trust people (esp famous ones). I have a hard enough time with fictional characters and people in my area. I think it’d be cool to hang out with Amandla Stenberg, if we had literally anything in common. Or maybe Gerard Way?

8. Name the band you’ve been a fan of the longest out of all the bands you like.

OWL CITY god i love owl city

9. What’s a pet you would never want to have (species, dog breed etc).

I don’t want any venomous spiders, or any saltwater animals, andd definitely nothing higher maintenance than a bearded dragon or a sphynx cat. I don’t have any specifics.

10. Describe one of your favourite objects in your room.

I have a tarot deck (the homestuck one), and a small steampunk wire and clay dragon, and a lot of seashells. The seashells are almost all clam shells I’ve picked up from various beaches, they’re bleached white and still smell faintly of salt and fish. Some of them still have sand clinging to the creases.

11. What’s the oldest man-made object you own (eg a piece of jewellery, a stone axehead)?

I don’t have anything older than my parents. My oldest belonging is a stuffed dog named Rascal, who my father had for most of his childhood.

My questions!

1. Why did you choose your name? Or, if you didn’t, why did someone else?

2. Have you ever had repeating or serial dreams? What about?

3. What do you usually say when people ask you to describe yourself?

4. What’s your proudest memory?

5. Do you have any tattoos? What of? And if not, describe one you would want.

6. Do you try to match your socks every day?

7. Do you believe in souls? Why or why not?

8. What’s the last job you could ever imagine yourself doing?

9. Name your favorite sound and texture.

10. Do you try to, or end up living by a phrase or saying? What is it?

11. What’s one thing that makes you trust someone, and one thing that makes you not?
