“Pink zircon (origin: Sri Lanka) of cushion shape and conch shell pink color are paired with cabochon rhodolite garnets and diamonds in these dangle earrings. Completing the composition are a pair of highly unusual stick pearls (origin: Japan).”
I love personalization. I love stickers on water bottles and on laptops. I love shitty marker drawing on the toes of converse. I love hand embroidered doodles on jeans. I love posters on walls. I love knick knacks on shelves. I love jewelry with goofy charms. I love when people take things and make them theirs.
ATLA ships you like and dislike with as little bias as possible 🙌🏻
(I feel like annoying ATLA shippers really distort the ship’s image, thus making people hate it LOL)
I'm so sorry for the late response this got lost in my drafts 😭
My favourite ships have got to be Kataang and Mailee. My least favourite ships are probably any Zuko pairing, and most of the non-canon ships 😊
I try to stay out of the shipping discourse because no one's terrorising me on my own wifi.
Virginia Woolf, from a letter to Vanessa Bell (August 1908)
I used to be a hopeless romantic. I still am a hopeless romantic. I used to believe that love was the highest value. I still believe that love is the highest value. I don't expect it to be happy. I don't imagine that I will find love, whatever that means, or that if I do find it, it will make me happy. I don't think of love as the answer or the solution. I think of love as a force of nature—as strong as the sun, as necessary, as impersonal, as gigantic, as impossible, as scorching as it is warming, as drought-making as it is life-giving. And when it burns out, the planet dies.
Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping
