get-to-know-me v2.0

Hi, Flo here! This is a new post, because I thought it'd be better to make a new one than to re-write the old one and confuse everyone. Also, I saw some new people following me, so hi guys, and let's get right into it!

I post and talk about writing, shows and movies I watch (TSITP, OBX, Young Royals, RWRB, Maxton Hall, and more...), mental health, music, and I also post edits from time to time.

Some important info about me:

✨️ writer - I've been writing poems for about 15 years and prose since I learned to write. I've always been fascinated by words and the way they work, I love telling stories, and my head is always full of new ideas. I also write fanfiction from time to time and actively participate in Fandom Combats on ao3.

✨️ editor - I love-love-love making edits, and I wish I had more time for it! Feel free to check them out here

✨️ ict student - I love coding, because it's creative, and you can make literally any app, or website, or program from scratch!

✨️ barista - mastering the art of latte hearts!

✨️ traveler - I moved to another country alone to study when I was 16, and I guess that's when it all started! For the past few years I tried to travel as much as I could (new places in my city, other cities & other countries). My bucket list for traveling is endless, and I'm always looking to expand it, so feel free to drop any suggestions/favourite places!

✨️ study freak and language learner - well, it's pretty self-explanatory!

what else? hmm...

I love analyzing things and making them work, and I enjoy long meaningful conversations. Dm me if you think we have something in common!

That's it for now, I'll be happy to chat and meet new people!

~ xoxo, Flo

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

Let's be real.

[timothyslucy]

okay but this little outing james and ruby are going on to see his family's collection of victorian dresses is so reminiscent to when john b and sarah went to the archives in chappell hill, except they give off more jiara vibes. i'm crying!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Wait I got another one! Whenever James tries to talk to his dad about his dreams and desires (lacrosse team, being with Ruby, not having to lead a Young Beaufort campaign), he's never heard. His dad always finds a way to bring him down, assault and make lose all hope and trust in himself. For Mortimer James is just a puppet in his game, a pawn, a tool which he uses to achieve his goals, not a person, not a human with feelings and emotions.

Cordelia is more careful and understanding, but her actions and words have the exact same result: James is scared of becoming who he wants and being with someone he loves. Her story and the fact that she isn't willing to accept him the way he is make him feel even worse.

James wants to fight and do the opposite of what his dad is saying, but with Cordelia he just accepts everything, because she doesn't try to change or break him, she just makes him believe that it's right to give up, and she's there to support him in it, softly and gently, making him surrender and let go, because she's too scared he'll do something else.

Mortimer is power and terror, while Cordelia is softness and hidden pain, which is even worse. She never pursued her dreams, but chose the life that was "right" and "promising". She doesn't see any other way out (or maybe she does, but is too scared to take action) even though she knows damn well that this is not the life she wanted, and we even get a glimpse of her missing her old life and the life that never happened (the scene where she tells James about letting love go, and later we see her wiping her tears).

Cordelia's love may seem conditional ("if you follow my advice, I will love you"), but in reality she just doesn't know how to communicate her worries correctly, because the trust between her and James is too weak. He feels nothing but pressure, so he becomes resistant, while she keeps trying to push it even further until it explodes.

Here's where we get (finally) to the point: Ruby does the exact opposite of what James's parents are doing! She supports every single dream he has (she even goes to Lexington begging to let James return to his team - compared to Mortimer laughing in his face and saying lacrosse is for girls), she never makes fun of him, respects him for him, and accepts his flaws and weaknesses without playing on them. The only one decision he makes not out of fear, or under the pressure, or because he's desperate, is leaving Oxford interviews. Ruby inspired him to do it, made him believe in himself and his power. She even did it for Lydia, who probably never heard any supporting words from family members, just like James.

That's why he wants to be with Ruby - she makes him believe that everything is possible.

[dimpledthings]

everyone is strange, and being passionate is attractive. don’t be afraid to be who you are and enjoy life the way you want to

[ur-lil-flo]

this!

[ur-lil-flo]

I don't see people talking about it enough, so here it is: James is scared of Ruby in the beginning. His world is a simple food chain: he can buy anything and anyone, and if he can't buy it, he threatens people until they do what he wants. But Ruby does not take his money, and his family's name doesn't make her fall down begging for forgiveness.

He can't control her. She's not a part of his game, and that's why she's terrifying to him. She is a threat to his family, and, for instance, his sister, whom he can't seem to protect in this situation. That's why he would go to great lengths to shut Ruby down - because he's scared.

I think it's crucial for the story because he's had people being rude to him for a reason and with no reason. He's had people he fought with, but she's the first person (probably after his father) whom he can't control. People like this have the power and don't see him as a human being, they're only there to hurt and punish him. That's why her apologizing to him makes him fold this fast. His father is terrifying and cruel, and he has never in his life apologized to James for hurting him and constantly ruining his life. Ruby was hurt and said what she thought, but she didn't mean it. While James expected her to play some kind of game (planning something with Alistair, not taking money, etc.), she was just herself, with all her honest reactions and emotions.

In his fake world, she was real. She took responsibility for her actions, she saw herself hurting James, and wasn't fine with that like others were in the past. I think that's what made him fall for her. She was honest and open, wasn't scared of him, respected herself, and made him respect her.

[ur-lil-flo]

am i the only one who feels like this: every single text i write feels stolen, even though i wrote it from the very first word? when i get a new idea, but don't write anything, and then after some time another writer posts about a similar idea, and i know that i'll never write my own text anymore, because their fans will cancel me saying i stole that writer's idea. i love wordy sentences and beautiful words, i love slow pace in my texts, and whenever i do it, i feel like that's the exact same thing that better, more popular writer did, and it makes me want to delete all my texts and never write again. don't get me wrong, i'm not talking about plagiarism or actually stealing anything. i never did that, and i never will. i have my own style that's been the same for ages, but if for a second it somehow looks like those other writers' styles, i want to give up

[ur-lil-flo]

the hold 1989 taylor's version has on me is unbelievable. it sounds exactly like late autumn, when you're running through the golden and red forest with the love of your life, or like walking endlessly for hours and getting lost on empty streets under the streetlights, or staring at the dark cold sky when your mind's wandering through all the old memories of how it used to be, of who you used to be. i love it so much, it makes me feel alive and real, it makes me feel like a part of the world, like someone who has a past full of joy, pain and discoveries, and will have even more amazing future
