yet another tarot read: summer edition

Image
last time i posted a tarot reading i used my sonic deck, this time, for summer, i'm gonna go with my red velvet deck, because they invented pop summer ! and i'm super excited for their rumored comeback this august. this is a special deck because i diy-ed myself, i love tarot and i have a burning passion for turning all my favorite things into tarot cards, so let me explain some quirks of the deck before we get into the reading: ✧ i used official comeback teasers for the mayor arcana, every card has a teaser that i thought matched perfectly with the vibe and the aura of said card. ✧ each member is a deck character: seulgi is the ace, wendy is the king, irene is the knight, joy is the queen and yeri is the page. ✧ finally, to match the aesthetic of red velvet, i changed some of the minor arcana: swords is still swords but wands is now colors, cups is fruit and pentacles is cakes !  if you're a fan of both tarot and the kpop group, i hope this makes sense to you and it's ...

gay

Image
i made this collage of the queer flag out of scraps from my local supermarket's promotional magazine, finding bits of purple was actually super hard, not as hard as making the brown and black lines look clearly distinct from each other with the shades the magazine offered me, i think i failed a little there. either way i had so much fun ! and it looks gay, so it's all good !       happy pride ! !!   ily, be safe <3  remember to have a little fun ! treat yourself, love your friends, make art ! and share it, i want to see ! ! and stay hydrated !! !        

liar city

Image
 on today's episode of making a collage of every single book i read: liar city by allie therin this book...... this was so silly y'all. imagine a world where people with empathy are a minority being discriminated against. even better, imagine the rich evil people in power experimenting on them to make them into weapons. imagine a dead man, with no emotions, trying to save the empaths from getting corrupted, trying to save the world from corrupted empaths.  this book was so silly and it took itself so seriously, i enjoyed every single word written in this story so much ! it was so fun reading the most absurd plot ever. the characters were really good, their dynamics were super entertaining, and the writing was actually pretty nice. i was hooked, i couldn't stop reading.  it follows a few characters (there's 3 povs) thru one day, maybe a couple of nights, it's a very short time tho, for the many many things that happen. they're all trying to solve a mystery, a mur...

may re-cap (lizard, birds, flowers and rocks)

Image
look at this big fat lizard, god i love him, it always makes me so happy to see one on my walks, i live in the coast, kinda tiny city, wikipedia says 12,3   km² but i don't understand numbers like that, so it means nothing to me. what i do understand is that we share the space with the seagulls (gaviotas, if what to use their preferred name) and i love them. they're a little evil and a menace, like every other bird, but my friends nonetheless. i am scared of them but i will always be happy to share the beach, the sun and my potato chips with them.  the other day, one did me a solid.  i work at a cafe, we were closing, or trying. if you've ever worked at a cafe, you know people never let you close. picture this: the end of a very long shift, i am overstimulated and extremely tired and still have to clean everything, the whole place is a mess. we are 3 people, we could really use another 2 sets of hands, i am the one in charge so every decision goes thru me, there has ...

the music you didn't know were missing: marta sango

Image
  this is the first released song of marta sango's future first album.    now i know the chances of you knowing marta are almost zero. she's a small, local artist, to the point where i thought i could be lowkey doxing myself by sharing her music here. but i just can't hold back !!!!!! !! i am so excited for this album !! ! i've been waiting for so long and i love her so much ! !! !!! !   she participated on a reality show/survival music competition back in 2018. she didn't win the show, but she won the hearts of many people.   she makes the music i crave, everything she writes is so pop and so much fun, i get trapped on loops with her songs many many times a week.    for the last 8 years she's dropped 8 singles and a couple of colabs, is not much but it's still very impressive how she hasn't missed once ! everything is good and everything is marta. she has a very personal sound, and she literally single handedly brought back the old spanish pop vibes b...

i dont think i got the memo on beauty standars

 tw: mentions of self-harm and blood in a jokey light manner   ❀  i have this problem, i can't stop turning smooth healthy skin into open wounds. i'm not even talking about picking on pimples and black dots (tho that's how it started), i'm talking about straight up picking on regular skin until i bleed. face, chest, arms, thighs. i can't stop.  this, as you can imagine, leaves a lot of scars and marks behind. the most visible ones, the ones that people notice and, therefore, comment on, are in my face. they hate it very much and they often pity me.  don't get me wrong, i know this is probably under the self-harm umbrella in one way or another, i agree is a terrible thing to be doing to myself, and i would be better off if i got some sort of help. i understand is sad and it makes sense that people would feel pity looking at it.  but ! that is not the reason why people pity me. they pity me because they think it's ugly. they think i look ugly with the s...

the weird spooky kpop aesthetic

Image
  this song just came out, and these were some of the teaser photos for the album,         i can't start to convey how much i love when kpop concepts go weird. i love spooky, nightmare/dream core aesthetics in general but no one does it like the creatives minds behind kpop. so this is now an appreciation post to show you some of my favorite concepts thru the years. but first, here's a collage i made in 2024, in honor of creepy kpop ! !!    ☆   to start with the queens of this concept themselves: f(x). back when they were still active they were my favorite thing in the whole world. i was just a sad teen back then and they truly made my life better in so many ways, i wish it didn't end the way it did but i will never forget them, they will always hold number 1 in my heart.       and, of course, the ones that took over: red velvet. my current favorite kpop group.          also one of my favorites artists, bibi...
