i reblogged that post about rural life and the fear of god two days ago and today i encountered a lone horse in a field at the top of a hill and it neighed at me, just once, stridently, and honestly if it had just straight up told me it knew my hamartia i wouldn’t have come any closer to shitting myself

i was tagged by @percyphone thank you so much!!

RULES: Tag nine people you would like to get to know better.

How old are you? 19 (turning 20 in less than ten days yikes)

What’s your current job? full-time student, part-time latin tutor. i’m not sure what i’m doing this summer yet but i have a seasonal job in customer service at a local summer stock theater. 

What are you talented at? writing, my languages (i’d like to think), making mixtapes and playlists, doing impressions of the president of my college (a recently discovered talent)

What’s your aesthetic? i have two conflicting aesthetics right now tbh. one is classics, flowers, graveyards, musty libraries and their wispy, fading ghosts. the other is neon, new wave synths, mismatched futch looks, ingenuity and unsolved mysteries. 

Do you collect anything? books on classical topics, mostly. other collections are unintentional and things i just tend to acquire, like statement socks and ceramic rabbits. 

What’s a topic you always talk about? classics, ghostbusters, being gay 

What’s a pet peeve of yours? noise

Good advice to give? long-term plans are good, but doing what feels right at the moment is paramount. be open to changes within yourself and be open with others about them. get a decent pocket knife; you will never struggle to open something or make an impromptu blood oath ever again. 

Three songs you would recommend? dead man’s party - oingo boingo; we are beautiful, we are doomed - los campesinos!; jolene - strawberry switchblade

i’ll tag @kaineus @mercutioux @pyrrhicbrutus @infelixdidos @vergxl @aquafolia @bailxrganas @malujesz @terpsikeraunos ! i’d love to learn about you all if you’d like to do this!
