Hiyaa! I follow you but haven't seen ya on my dash in a bit so I was happy to see your name pop up in the guessing game! Pls excuse as I go thru reading ur fics a bit hehe π€
There was really no point to this ask just wanted to send some love π€·π»ββοΈ
hello! i've been having a rough summer so it made me happy to see that i have followers that still care and noticed my absence. surprise! i'm alive lol. anyways i've slowly been getting back into writing, so i should have some stuff coming out soon! please have the greatest day ever i love you <3
i'm so sorry to hear that you're having a rough go of it-sending love and i hope that you find peace and happiness at the end of the tough times!
i saw that you followed me and first of all that's so sweet of you to do that!! i originally made my blog purely to keep inventory on stuff i liked so i didn't expect to be Perceived lol. so just as an fyi bc i know you're an sfw blog i do engage in nsfw and dark content and as of now i largely just reblog and screech about (mostly nsfw) fics and other fandom tidbits i'm hyperfixating on. i wouldn't want to unwittingly make you uncomfy so if you need to disengage i totally understand!
otherwise i'm happy to have more internet buds to yap about fandom with! i also like your little list summary in ur about-me so if you ever want to chat tea or leather jackets i am also down haha.
hello!! thank you so much. i'm making it one day at a time lmao, and i got some really, really good news last night so i feel like things are turning around.
ahhhh of course i followed you! you seem like such a sweet person. and i have zero problems with nsfw and dark content lol, but it's so considerate of you to let me know π₯Ή i just personally don't write it bc i cannot π
but yay!!! new internet buddy ππ thanks! i thought it might be nice if people could get to know me a bit as a human through my likes and dislikes instead of only knowing me as a writer lolol
AND I WOULD LOVE TO CHAT TEA AND LEATHER JACKETS WITH YOU
hooray!! congrats on the good news, i hope the streak continues!
okay i'm glad you won't be uncomfortable with the stuff i interact with. i didn't bother with any warnings on my blog bc i'm mostly here to consume things and don't expect too many people to wander by lol. but! since i have been coming out of my lil lurker basement lately i finally at least added a color scheme to it so i look less like a bot.
oh man oh man where to start on tea and jackets? what are your go-to's for either? i'm kind of a tea purist-i prefer tea the east asian (chinese/japanese/korean) way, just pure tea leaves and occasional aromatics with no additional sugar or cream unless i'm specifically making a milk tea. i don't really like herbal teas. i want that camellia sinensis in my shit. my default tea rn is probably hojicha. i made a sunrise burnt basque hojicha cheesecake and though the layers didn't come out as cleanly as i wanted it tasted lovely. a tumblr friend on here inspired me to try out the burnt basque with a FANTASTIC green thai tea i have next! (if you're in the market for the green thai tea and are usa-based i cannot recommend it enough. it's so unique bc green thai is uncommon in the states already, and most of it comes from the powder packets but the one i have is all whole ingredients, no extracts or dye or flavor enhancements and it is DIVINE. sooo fragrant with pandan and vanilla and mint. i will scarf down anything with pandan in it but this is especially lovely)
i basically only own leather jackets or blazers, i have an embarassing amount of both. i did just do a closet purge with a friend's help though and i am proud of say i got rid of like, 16 college-era (p)leather jackets and blazers that had seen better days/are no longer in style
ty for sticking around for my D1 yapping!
dw abt it LMAO. it's not super apparent, but if you look close enough you can see my inner hoe poking through in my tags, so yes. i definitely consume smut and dark content and am looking forward to seeing your stuff on my dash π€
omg and for tea? i literally drink any and all kinds of tea. so again, if you've been on my blog long enough/look closely i'm pretty sure i've mentioned it before but i'm half korean, and i while i love all kinds of tea, the tea my mom made for me are nostalgic and bring me comfort. i almost always drink my teas plain (chai being the only exception) or with a little bit of honey.
i LOVE herbal teas. i can't really drink a ton of caffeine with my adhd meds or i genuinely start tweaking. like twitching and all that shit, so i normally drink other teas even though i really enjoy green and black teas :')
THAT TEA AND CHEESECAKE BOTH SOUND SO GOOD OMG
i'm a sucker for jackets and boots, and while i don't have too many, i definitely own a few, but i'll probably reblog this post and rant about them later lmao
if you're interested, here is a comprehensive list of my top ten favorite teas (in no particular order), how i drink them, and why. thank you for attending my lecture.
1. you are so right about hojicha. i love green tea, but my absolute favorite variation of green tea is nokcha. i love the extra flavor the brown rice brings to it. i normally drink it plain, but if i'm feeling fancy i'll steam a little milk and add a drizzle of honey
2. this definitely isn't korean, but when i was little my mom would make me this tea and it was so, so, so, good. it's basically just a stick of cinnamon, some apples slices up, orange and lemon peel, and a little bit of honey boiled together for like an hour. it's literally my favorite thing to drink in the fall bc it just warms me up from the inside
3. oksusu-cha. it's basically a korean tea made from roasted corn kernels and i really, really, like it. it's different from a lot of teas in the sense that it's almost savory, but its taste is very unique and almost earthy? idk how to describe it but i highly recommend trying it. i always drink it plain, but pouring it over heukmi bap (korean purple rice) and eating is also amazing
4. earl gray. i know this one is very british and different from the rest of the teas i drink, but i love having a cup of it once in a while! i drink it black sometimes, but i'll also drink it with either lemon and honey, or a little milk and honey
5. chamomile my love. i love love love a nice cup of chamomile before bed while i'm reading a book! i almost always drink it plain, but if i'm on my period i add a spoonful of honey
6. hibiscus tea. while this isn't necessarily my favorite taste wise, it brings back a lot of memories from when i was little and would go to a cafe with my mom. not to say i don't enjoy the flavor, it's just a little too sweet and a little too tart for me to drink a lot of
7. gyulpi cha. it's a korean citrus peel tea (not unlike #2) and it's really, really, good. i always drink it plain.
8. chai. this is the only type of tea i drink with a ton of stuff in it. i'm currently boycotting starbucks, but i love their iced chai latte with sweet cream foam. during fall i normally get it with some pumpkin flavoring lol. however i barely consider the drink tea at this point lmao
9. lavender tea. i absolutely love a cup of lavender tea before bed. i always drink it plain, and think the scent is so calming!
10. and finally lilac tea. i love lilacs. growing up we had a massive lilac bush and the smell always brings me back. i really enjoy its subtly sweet and floral flavor, and always drink it plain.
anyways, that's it for the tea lmao.
Hiya Lee, I've been offline for a little bit but I just wanted to quickly stop in and say I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Sending you a big ole virtual hug. I said it before, but I really hope you give yourself time to feel everything you need to feel. Your bf sounds like such a great support in your corner and I am SO rooting for you on your healing. β€
thank you so much. i really appreciate it. i've slowly started getting back into my normal life. thank you so much. everyone here has been so kind <3
I made a commitment bake inspired by the anatomy of Christina tosi's cakes but disregarding most of her recipes bc her palate runs very sweet. Wish I could actually send it to my online friends instead of just telling y'all about it but I'm going to virtually share a slice with u β€ Pick your favorite tea to enjoy it with! It's a double vanilla brown butter cake / pickled strawberry compote / lemon curd liquid cheesecake / graham milk crumb

STOP THAT LOOKS SO GOOD
that looks like it'd be SO good with some earl grey. oooh i'm drooling how are you so good at baking? how is it upright???
Oooh for the selfship ask game: π₯°π―ββοΈπ
ooh thank you so much! for this i'm going to do osamu i think.
π₯°: How would someone who loved you portray you?
i would like to say as kind of a nerdy badass. we met in high school (i was captain of the girls gymnastics team which is actually something that happened in real life for me) so i'm really athletic, but i'm also like a super nerd who loves engineering and math and reads non fiction for fun. (basically my self ship with osamu is just the slightly cooler version of high school me attending inarizaki)
π―: What canon character are you most similar to?
probably kuroo, but like, the introverted version of him π
π: What tropes show up in fics involving your ship?
probably the comfort trope (listen i need reassurance), idiots in love, friends to lovers (dare i say childhood friends to lovers) and miscommunication lmfao
for this ask game!
Hiya Lee, hope you're doing well and just wanted to check in! Also coming with a cute ask game where you're supposed to answer with your preferences for each category.

i'm doing better, thanks for checking in! how are you? oooh wait this looks so fun. i want to know what yours are too!
eggs: if i can add stuff to it, scrambled with potatoes onions and cheese. but if i can't them i like them steamed
steak: medium rare
milk: oat
alcohol: aperol spritz or a whiteclaw
warm drink: tea of any type, but since it's also fall i really want a mug of warm apple cider
wheee here for the q&a 500 celebration, not that anything stops me from popping in your inbox now and then anyway. but now i'm asking these in a ~festive mood lmao
what are your favorite foods, foods you love/are confident making, and foods you want to learn to make?
how would you describe your best friend/your friendship?
i think we touched on a leather jackets yap sesh early on. pls tell me about this collection. actually that leads me to...
pls tell me about your collections! I love seeing what people love and accumulate. it's so fun and endearing to see how they talk about it too!
omg thank you so much for dropping by! honestly this little "event" is just me trying to encourage people to come and yap with me lmao. okay. now down to business *cracks knuckles*
1. i really enjoy ice cream, pastries, pretty much any korean food but especially sundubu jjigae, any type of soup (especially tomato, french onion, korean, or any type of soup with a light flavorful broth).
i'm confident making pretty much anything as long as i have a recipe, but i can make a lot of korean food from memory which is nice.
i would like to get better at making omelettes though. i never got the hang of flipping them π
2. okay so me and my best friend are both very intelligent people but when we're just hanging out together we're dumb and dumber, sharing a brain cell. our interactions mostly include gossip, ranting about obsessions, and cracking each other up. oh and me yelling at her for her HORRIBLE taste in men. i still love her sm π₯Ή
3. okay so for leather jackets i currently have one, and it is literally my pride and joy. i think i found it at a nordstroms sophomore year of high school and i have not parted with it since. it's thick enough to be warm, but it doesn't look bulky which i love
however i do have a minor obsession with jackets and hoodies, so i also have a cropped black jean jacket from forever 21 i got in high school (listen i haven't changed my wardrobe much in the last three or four years), a black cardigan which is the comfiest thing i own, a black and gold track jacket from simone biles's gold over america tour, and an oversized black hoodie.
basically if it's black and i can wear it over something else i love it
4. i wouldn't say i'm necessarily someone who has true collections, but i do have certain things i have saved and trinkets i love. actually that's a lie. i'm a book collector of sorts, in the sense that my favorite gift to receive and my favorite thing to buy is books. so i own more than 500 books. i love the way books feel, the way they smell, how crisp they are when they're new, and how soft and worn they get when they've been well loved and read again and again. in particular, i really love used books. especially ones that were obviously read again and again. i like that they have a story behind them, and the pages i'm reading were once read by someone who fell in love with the plot and characters again and again.
lee's 500 follower q&a!!

1, 4, 5, 6, 14, 17
hihi cheesy!! thanks for sending these in i had to think but they were so fun!!
1. what song makes you feel better?
okay so there's a few. one is "wonderful world" by sam cook because my dad sang it to me before bed every night when i was little so i listen to it when i miss him.
another is "the dark" by beth crowley because i just really like the lyrics and tune. it's quiet and it feels very romantic and gentle to me
and then the last one is the album plans by death cab for cutie
4. what's your favorite feeling?
cuddling with my boyfriend <3
5. how do you like to take care of yourself?
ooh okay. when i need a self care day i take an everything shower (double face wash, shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, sugar scrub, shave, body wash) then i like to do a skin/body care (pluck and shape eyebrows, face mask, moisturizer, lip mask, lotion) then i get into my favorite pjs, bake something, and watch a show/read a book/listen to music and do a puzzle while munching :))
6. what's your favorite candle scent?
hmmmm. that's hard. i really love a good lilac candle but at this time of year i like apple cider scented ones.
14. what's something upcoming you're excited for?
i'm not sure. gymnastics is starting soon and i'm really hype for that, but other than that there's not too much T_T
17. how do you feel best loved?
i feel best loved when people notice me and my feelings and go out of their way to care for them and me. i also feel really loved when i'm being held <3
what about you???
send me a soft ask!!
