task 07 | body tour pt. 01 / body mods.

marley has a total of seven (7) tattoos and four (4) piercings currently. she’s honestly game for getting either at any given time, all ya gotta do is ask. most of her tattoos have some kind of meaning, but she’snot married to the idea of all of them needing significance. some things can just be pretty for the sake of being pretty. 

tattoos.

wildflowers - located on her upper ribcage, just below her left breast. this was her first tattoo and she’s still as obsessed with it as she was on the day she got it. 

worthy - on her upper right forearm in her grandfather’s handwriting. easily her tattoo with the most meaning. she got it about a year after she moved home from texas, after leaving wade. it was a word that became a kind of mantra to marley, thanks to her grandfather. 

big timber mountain range - this is located just below the nape of her neck, not quite between her shoulder blades. it’s a reminder of home and a way to keep it with her always.

pinky swear - the beginning of marley’s matching tattoo’s with mig. it’s a tradition that they get matching tattoos for their birthdays and it’s 100% marley’s favorite. she loves every single tattoo they’ve gotten/plan to get simply because it’s something they’ll always share. this one is on her upper left forearm.

no matter when/where - another matching mig tattoo, this time located on her left ankle. a testament to just how willing these two are to be there for each other always. no amount of time apart or physical distance can break their bond.

halfsies - 1/2 located on her left inner bicep above her elbow. platonic soulmates, obviously.

geometric turtles - on her right heel is their most recent tattoo that they got on vacation in hawaii. a little early birthday gift for marley, because why no celebrate with a new tattoo in paradise?!

piercings.

double lobes - both ears. got the first set when she was about a year old when her mother decided to get them done. the second she got when she was eleven. 

cartilage - right ear. got it when she was sixteen and out with friends. very spur of the moment.

bellybutton - top. actually did it herself in a friend’s garage at fifteen. it’s a little crooked, but it was a very nice fuck you to her parents, so she kept it. now it’s a gentle reminder to not be a dumbass just to spite someone else. she does still like it, though. plus, it’s a good party story if nothing else.

moon, recall newton’s law of universal gravitation — that the force of gravity between two objects with masses M and m respectively is quantifiable; measured as G*M*m, where G is the gravitational constant governing attraction, over the square of the distance between them, r, or more simply: F = G*M*m / r² i guess, according to newton, if hearts are objects, absence does not make the heart grow fonder; the pull between two hearts falls away exponentially with each fraction of a lightyear that stretches between them. did he consider, though, the possibility that gravitational pull might be unidirectional? did he entertain the idea that G may not always be constant, defying its very essence? did he ever wonder that there may be another factor, another beating mass skewing the vector with each reverberation? oh, but heartbreak carries its own set of universal principles: i was that archetypal princess, the damsel in (hidden) distress. carving thighs with cracked mirrors till crimson ink pooled around my heels. i guess heartbreak defies physics in the same way you remain tethered, spinning around the earth—even in this starry expanse of zero gravity. moon, what if i no longer fall under newton’s jurisdiction? what if i am the only one being pulled, and there is no push to blame? if time is a function of distance, will i never recover? if you believed you could leave this perpetual orbit of aching (you can, i know it), would you? if i stop chiseling myself away, moon, will the gravity between the whole of who i want to be and the pieces that i am be enough to survive?

maybe i am my own guard keeper, my own high tower, my own voice locked inside a casket of gold, my own hand clutching the map’s diagrammed escape — the princess and the prince, the damsel and the hero, the dragon and its slayer — gravity notwithstanding, key burrowed in swollen gums.

task 07 | body tour pt. 2 / details

it took marley most of her almost twenty six years to finally start liking the way she looks. for years, she hated all of her little imperfections, but over the years she’s learned to embrace them because they make her unique. there’s beauty in that uniqueness and a little confidence too someday. 

we also have a pinterest board here ( body image tw ).

( general abuse tw, cancer mention tw ) - the individual sections have triggers on them as well, but i just wanted to be safe. pls take care of yourselves bbies. 

face. 

eyes - more hazel than true green, marley’s eye color is up for a bit of debate. she tends to wear clothes that make her eyes look more green than anything, so that’s why she usually just says they’re green. in reality, though, there’s a ring of very light brown around her irises that fades out into a light sage green. since her eyes are framed by dark, thick brows that draw attention away from her eye color, the only time people really notice is when they’re up close and personal with marley.

hair - marley’s hair is almost always a curly, frizzy mess. she does her damnedest to contain them, but the midwest humidity just doesn’t seem to agree with her. most days, especially if she’s working, she’ll pull it back into a messy bun or two french braids. on her days off, she’ll usually just let it air dry and leave it down. the only time she really puts any extra effort into her hair is if there’s an event that requires it. she’s never dyed it or permed it, so her curls are naturally a light, caramel brown that lightens considerably when she’s been in the sun a lot. every once in a while she’ll do a deep conditioner treatment on it to keep her curls hydrated and healthy, especially if she’s been using heat on it more than she normally does. 

smile - she’s got a big mouth, plain and simple - both in volume and literal size. marley’s smile easily takes up half of her face when she really smiles. her smile usually results in her eyes squinting, causing the corners of her eyes to crease, and her nose scrunches up. marley also has dimples when she smiles. she was blessed with mostly straight teeth and has always been diligent when it comes to brushing twice a day and keeping up with getting her teeth cleaned. since she has such a strong love of coffee, she does occasionally get them whitened. it’s one of the few vain things marley indulges in. 

blemishes.

stretch marks - ( verbal/emotional abuse tw ) marley is thin, yes, but she’s on the curvier side of thin. so, while her stomach is generally stretch mark free, her booty and thighs are peppered with them. she’s not particularly insecure about them anymore. when she was with wade, though, he’d consistently comment on how gross he thought they were and how marley’d be so much more attractive without them. back then she’d hated them and obsessively kept them covered, but since leaving and entering therapy, marley’s learned to accept them as a part of herself and her body. though she may not love them, she does love her body and appreciates that it allows her to do so many things she loves.

moles - ( cancer mention tw ) marley’s body is peppered with moles. only a few are on her face and legs, but most seem to pop up on her chest, back, and arms. she’s never really given them a second thought aside from during her annual physicals when her doctor makes sure none of them show signs of skin cancer.

freckles - mostly concentrated on her nose and cheeks, marley loves her freckles. she’s always thought they were cute even though they make her look younger than she is. when she’s been in the sun, the freckles on her shoulders become much more noticeable, otherwise they’re much too light for most people to see. 

scars ( not pictured ) - ( physical abuse tw ) aside from a few small scars on marley’s hands from working on the ranch, she has a scar on her upper lip from wade. it’s not super noticeable and has faded a bit over time, but you can still clearly see the half-inch long scar from where wade’s fist split open her lip during one of his outbursts. if someone asks about it, marley will usually just make some joke about being clumsy and running into a door or falling on her face. very few people know the actual story behind it.

extremities.

nails - she wants to be one of those girls who always has her nails done and looks put together, but she is not. marley’s lucky if she doesn’t smudge her nails while she’s still doing them and she’s entirely too cheap to get them done professionally. so, aside from right after she’s finished painting them, marley’s nails are always chipped. they’re normally a bright, vibrant color unless someone’s drug her to see a professional manicurist to get them done. then she’ll usually get a cute little design. 

hands - aside from perpetually chipped nails, marley’s hands are rough. they’re by no means soft or smooth like most would imagine. she’s got knobby knuckles, scars, and callouses all over her hands from working on ranches for the last ten-ish years. oddly enough, marley’s hands are probably one of her favorite things about her body. they’re strong and capable but also gentle and capable of caring for other living beings with so much love. the fact that they can be strong and rough, but gentle and caring all at the same time is beautiful to marley.

feet - these are also rough but for a much different reason. dancing for years has left marley’s feet almost as calloused as her hands. she’s also broken several toes, so those are knobby and crooked as well. she’s fairly indifferent towards her feet. she knows they’re aesthetically very ugly as most dancer’s feet are, but she has a hard time committing to that notion when she dances. the lines her body creates when she moves are beautiful and that includes her nasty lil pointed toes extending the lines of her legs.

Bristol was happy with the outcome of this quiz. All her life she had been a very kind soul. There hasn't been a person that come into her life that she wouldn't help. At times she can be very sensitive, it all depends on the situation. She is very understanding to others needs and wants and always tries to be there for her peers. Bristol is the kind of friend you call on when you need someone to talk to. She is a very good listener and puts others needs and wants before her own.

Spotted Leopard (Panthera pardus) “It also suggests that the degree of melanism might be an evolutionary response to different environments: the pigment genes can help the melanistic form to adapt better to their evergreen dipterocarp forest with closed canopies and low light levels, whereas the spotted ones may do better in open grassland”, cabutan jurnal “The discovery of two spotted leopards (Panthera pardus) in Peninsular Malaysia”. Saya dapat menggambarkan bahawa personaliti saya akan berubah mengikut suasana, situasi, orang sekeliling dan mood semasa. Kita perlu menyesuaikan diri dengan keadaan sekeliling. Sebagai contoh; sepanjang 15 tahun berkhidmat di Jabatan, saya telah bertugas di empat (4) pejabat yang semuanya berlainan skop tugas dan saya dapat laksanakan semua tugasan tersebut dengan sempurna.
