You + your favourite Pokémon!
My slightly turned to the side face, the profile picture I use for BlueSky with the rose-gold metal-framed glasses I used to wear before my new ones. A plush of the Pokémon Mimikyu.

My 5 star review of Left to Die by @erynmccee.bsky.social
This was a chilling novella where you watch a deeply disturbing dance between two serial killers, seeing their sweet and intimate love for one another mingled with the dark passion they both craved and hungered for. I really wasn't sure where this story was going to go and was unsure if it was for me at first, but after some reading when I realised what was going on, I knew I had to finish it and I was not disappointed!

Now that I'm back being active on here again, I thought I'd put out a really big life update. A few weeks ago, my partner surprised me near the end of our holiday in Italy by proposing to me! 😍🥹🥰
Me standing on a boat wearing a blue and white frilly, off the shoulder dress, looking shocked as my partner is on one knee proposing to me who is also wearing blue and white (blue shirt, white shorts) Us sitting on the boat kissing with my left hand placed on his cheek so that my engagement ring is visible to the camera in the sunlight Another angle of us sitting on the boat holding hands admiring each other and my new ring 😍🥹

This is how I look when I write:

They're both me...at the same time, somehow
Homer looking at Marge over the dining table with a kind of crazy amused face as if he just made a really horrible pun that he's proud of while Marge has her hand over her face looking absolutely fed up with the world.

Most of these are of my sixteen year old shi tzu, Milo who's a good boy and a spoilt boy with many more tantrums left in him. I thought I'd also add a recent photo of me and Pablo, a Californian Sea Lion that I did a meet and greet with at a zoo marine in Portugal. They're my favourite animals 😍🥰
My dog, Milo, a sixteen year old white-brown shi tzu standing on tiled-flooring after just waking up and is staring bleary-eyed into the distance. Milo fast asleep while lying on a grey, fluffy pillow on a black leather sofa. Milo curled up with his red teddy bear with a yellow and blue polkadot belly. A framed photo from Zoomarine, Portugal of me and a Californian Sea Lion called Pablo beside each other with me posing by the glass structure that Pablo has been swimming and doing tricks in. He's also looking at the camera and smiling.

I made it on time to the indie bookstore from the airport before it closed today and got a nice book haul! 😍
Four books positioned together. Top left is called The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson. The cover is of someone black and white wearing a crown and had red covering some of their face and chest amongst a black background. Top right is called Conversations With An Octopus by Rebecca Smith. The cover shows a vibrant peachy background with the title in lime green and bold letter with Octopus being the largest word. The title is positioned on the left and has been typed vertically and to the right of the cover are five black drawn tentacles. Bottom left is We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. The cover shows seven thorn stems with blackberries and leaves attached to the stems amidst a white background. Bottom right is Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman that shows a rabbit teddy bear sitting in a light blue spotlight with its back facing the reader, sitting amongst a dark blue background that fades darker near the edges of the book while the title and author name are printed in vibrant red and in bold letters. All the same four books together from the previous image, only I've positioned them with three drinks that I also bought from the bookstore. The middle drink is a yellow can called "Trip" that shows the 🤙🏻 emoji only the hand is pointed upwards instead of sideways. The two drinks on either side are the same brand of Sparkling Light Kombucha. The one on the left is a mango flavoured one that shows artwork of a massive creature with one large eyeball surrounded by what almost looks like a flower around its neck and has a very thin and tall body. The one on the right is Blueberry and Blackberry flavoured, and shows artwork of a crowd of different types of aliens clapping as an alien hot air balloon monster with eyes and tentacles throws betting chips into a pink portal. There is also a sign pointing to the portal with an arrow that reads "Earth."

The first event we saw was the Dolphin event, where different dolphins performed different moves and stunts with their trainers and splashed us a few times 😂
A trainer in a wetsuit being pushed through the water by the balls of her feet by a dolphin's nose. A photo of a trainer and a dolphin midair. The trainer is turning in the air while the dolphin does an arch below the trainer. Two dolphins next to each other underwater, watching their trainer for signals.

When we first arrived, we went straight to the butterfly enclosure and saw the most beautiful butterflies. We had to watch where we walked at all times and a beautiful blue one landed on my mum's hair and stayed there for ages. Got a lovely photo of it 😍
A brown butterfly with purple and lilac patterns across its wings. It's perched on a large green leaf A brown butterfly with yellow patterns across its wings sitting on a vibrant red fruit in a tiny net in a plastic cup that the butterfly is eating. A large, blue butterfly with black edges on its wings attaching itself to my mum's black hair just above her left shoulder.

I know I was meant to post photos of Zoomarine yesterday, but I was too distracted and...effort 😅😂

I first went to Zoomarine in 2019. I was upset because I couldn't meet and greet with a sea lion. So, when I went back this time, I finally got my wish after six years!

Photo of me and Pablo 😍🥰
Main sign for Zoomarine above a fish pond against rocks and a tiny waterfall. The "Zoo" is in red and the "marine" is in blue and there are two dolphins above the sign. A bigger one coloured in a dark blue and a tinier one next to it in lighter blue. A photo of me and a California Sea Lion (he's British though) where I'm leaning against a metal railing and he's in the water posing next to me. The photo is framed by a paper Zoomarine frame with a cartoon sea lion in the bottom right.

It was a bit warmer in Portugal today and dressed in a new outfit I had bought yesterday 🥰
Me in front of a mirror wearing a two-piece outfit that is white with beige-coloured palm trees all around it. The top goes around my chest area, leaving a gap showing my abdomen before a skort that reaches just above my knees.

Some sight-seeing 🥰
A plaque that reads "Monument to the Fisherman. Stands on the Preceta do Pescador 25th April Square, near the fisherman's beach. The stone sculpture is a tribute to the old fisherman of Albufeira and placed here as part of the urban requalification of the seaside area." The plaque also shows two photos, the left is a black and white photo of a selection of boats at a harbour and a man with a fishing hat walking past them. The second is a coloured photo of the stone sculpture depicting people in front of a boat. A landscape photo of the stone sculpture from the first photo. A sculpture of two large watches in the middle of a roundabout, one is blue and the other is red. Another sculpture in the middle of another roundabout showing two worm-like creatures entwining their bodies together and have antennas and sunglasses. One is green and the other is pink

Too tired for a big meal so it's vegetable soup for me, a nice mango mocktail, and then bed for some much needed sleep. Been running on one hour of sleep all day 🥲
Vegetable soup that kind of looks like chicken soup based on the colour, in a square-shaped plate with a bowl-like centre with bread pieces in the soup

Lying in the sun while we wait for our room to be ready. Found a nice higher-up part of the hotel where there's a windbreaker and all the room to move the sun beds. Fell asleep a few times and lay while it rained lightly, but it's so refreshing 😍
Me with my prescription sunglasses on while lying on a blue sun bed in the sun, wearing my grey and pink Scream t-shirt. Higher part of the hotel that overlooks the back rooms and a brown windbreaker that surrounds the area. Image of the different sun beds laid out together on the grass with a children's play area next to it. Other part of the hotel that overlooks the pool and other sun beds down below and a few palm trees and white stone pillars

There are too many heartbreaking quotes in this book, but this one especially always hurts me 🥲

From Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune
Bravery meant the possibility of death. And wasn’t that funny? Because it took being dead for Wallace to finally be brave.

This scene in the genocide route in Undertale will haunt me forever.
The genocide scene in Undertale is when Monster Kid realises that they've been hanging around with a serial killer and says to our character, "Y-you'd b-better st-stop r-right where you are..." But our character doesn't stop...

Describe yourself with a building.
Leap Castle, Ireland. An old castle, some of it in ruins over time, showing a long, curved lane leading to the front door and different heights of each part of the castle made of moss-covered, light grey stone. I chose Leap Castle because of its beauty, its deep history holding wars, betrayal, stupid decisions followed by regret, and holding something extremely dark somewhere inside.
