Wait you're -13 myopic too?! I have to ask, how's your perception of colours? I'm also astigmatic so maybe that plays a role, but if I look at a lot of small objects in different colours (like a bookshelf for example) they end up just blended in a mostly compact colour like brown or grey

I mean, I work with colors daily so I should hope so! Yet to catch any kind of sign I'm not seeing what everybody else is seeing, at least, but I can distinguish everything just fine, as far as I can tell. I don't really have any consistent problems from severe myopia besides expensive contacts, I had a full retinal detachment once when I was younger and I still get some small tears on occasion but that's about it.

Burgundy and fawn? Thank you!

Burgundy: Favourite month? 

I should go with June because that’s when my bday is and when the cherries appear but I think i like the May weather better.

Fawn: Favourite word in your first language?

Tristeţe, it means sadness. I just like how words that start with ‘tr-’ roll off my tongue.

Dali and Botticelli

Dali: Do you have strange dreams? It's funny that I get this ask! I sometimes do, like last night; I had a dream that I was in a dark classroom where everyone was naked, and had to go up and present their favorite music video or song. I sat huddled in a corner with a boy who apparently was my boyfriend, and his hair kept changing from bond to brunet. While we were clothed, I distinctly remember pulling his penis out and playing with it. That was pretty strange.

Botticelli: What would you say your 'trademark' is? In either appearances or personality. My trademarks would probably be melancholy, surreal depictions of brown people in whimsical surroundings, the subjects of which would change throughout my career. As far as appearances or personality, who knows what I'll be like. I don't plan on dropping my loud mouth and black wardrobe anytime soon though!

Thank you!

Hi! Antares, Moon and Andromeda? :) Thank you and have a nice day

You’re the best!

Antares:if you could draw your thoughts on a page, what would it look like?

Being that i’m an artist, I do put my thoughts on a page quite often!  I have an affinity for blues, and organic, swirling shapes.  If its just my mind in general, it’d be blues, with vines twisted and tangled but growing, and on some borders, there would be a dark grey/black that’s pushing in in certain places.  My depression is always like a weird weight on my mind, but sometimes it’s not as prevalent or pervasive.  Overlaying all of this would be swirls of colors; greens, purples, yellow. 

Moon:When you’re alone in the middle of the night and you can’t quite get to sleep, what do you think about? “Going to sleep” doesn’t count.

Usually flip flop back and forth between irrational songs (I had this one song stuck in my literally from sun up to sun down. I didn’t get a bit of sleep.) and places i’d like to visit, or goals I have and ways I can accomplish them. 

Andromeda:Do you like having your worldview or opinions challenged or questioned?

I honestly do.  I do not believe that my views on all things are solid, fully informed, or flawless.  People have different experiences, and each person’s experience is their own personal truth, so if someone has a differing opinion or new information, i’d absolutely be interested in hearing it.  This doesn’t mean that my opinion will necessarily change, either, in fact it might simply end up being reinforced, but I am always open for discussion, debate, and acknowledgment.  There are multiple sides to every experience/story, and the world is much grayer than most people would believe.
