INTRO POST

About me

Hi! :D my name is Paulina, but you can call me Pienie if you want to. I'm 19 years old and I use she/her pronouns.

I will mostly post in English, but I also speak Dutch and a little bit of German.

I like reading, writing, drawing, painting and sometimes dabble with other creative stuff like bookbinding, sculpting, sewing, etc.

My interests include, but are not limited to: European musicals (Roméo et Juliette in particular), Star Trek, Shakespeare, Greek mythology, history, philosophy and a lot of different kinds of music (I'm currently obsessed with the Georgian punk rock band Dagdagani).

I also post on Bluesky and share my fics on AO3!!

My tags

Will be updated according to what I post. List currently incomplete, new tags will follow soon.

“All of a sudden two decades have passed and you still have not kissed anyone with tongue, or kissed anyone at all for that matter, or had a 3 AM conversation with someone who would rather look into your eyes for ten minutes straight than talk. You have never worn a lover’s sweater or “forgotten” it at home in your bedroom just so you would have an excuse to see them again. You have never even stood face-to-face with someone who makes your hands shake so hard it feels like they’re both having a separate anxiety attack. This causes you much guilt and self-blame and sadness but above all, an overwhelming curiosity. Are you really that ugly, that unwanted, that uninteresting, that boring, that no one, absolutely no one, has ever looked at you like the only thing on earth? The answer is no. The better answer is that someone out there, somewhere in the world, is “wondering what it’s like to meet someone like you,” and they have two decades worth of love stored in their veins like a shoot-‘em-up drug, and they’re just about ready to inject it into someone else’s bloodstream. All you have to do is roll up your sleeves and wait for it to happen. At times you felt so lonely you could stand at the edge of a cliff with nothing beneath you but air and grass and a long, long way down, and you’d still feel emptier than that canyon itself. Maybe you even danced with yourself alone in your room a few times, arms outstretched around a ghost, pretending someone else’s hands were on your waist, someone else’s eyes boring into yours. Or maybe you fell temporarily in love with strangers on public transportation, fell in love with anybody who so much as accidentally brushed your hand on the way past. For you, falling in love with dozens of people a day was a coping mechanism for not having anyone to love you in return. But people are not eggs and falling in love with a dozen of them does not mean your shell will remain uncracked. One day you’re going to hit the point where you’re so desperate for human contact that you’re going to snap in half and all your love will bleed out like egg yolk. But someone out there is eating a bowl of Ramen noodles right now, or putting on slippers, or settling into bed. They are doing all the normal things that you’ve done in your own life. They are just like you. They have cellulite and extra fat in all the wrong places and goals and fears and doubts and bad handwriting. The truth is that they are just like you, and being just like you, they’re looking for a lover too. They’re what you might call a soulmate. They think they’re all alone in feeling the way they do, but you’re really both two halves of a whole. And one day you’ll meet them, bump into them on the street, and your two halves will be put together, and you’ll make one.”

HELLO BACK, GUYS!!!

Guess... I fortunately still alive and obsessed with our dear ol villains! 👻 Yes, I've been off for a while because I was finishing my last school year, but hey, it's finally over! Also, during time I was away I was involved in many musical and gothic stuff fandoms, so probably I'm going to start posting some of these stuff around here, but I plan to go back to draw my bbgirl Claude, if any here actually cares 🧚‍♀️ anyway, enjoy these silly drawings I made in my new sketchbook with my new markers 💥 I really liked it's colors

i was going through some old fics i was working on all r&j based to see if i wanted to revamp and finish any and i found this old one that was essentially the events of the story play out, but benvolio gets a chance to go back in time and fix it and he does but after all the good stuff happens and romeo and juliet get married and time passes they all kinda drift apart and benvolio is so completely distraught by this and after coming back from a study abroad he tries to find mercutio and they get into an argument where benvolio drops: You would've died that day. I should've let you

AND VANISHES. that's the whole fic

What all historical fan fiction writers need is a database with a series of videos showing someone getting dressed and then undressing step-by-step with subtitles that tell us the name of each item of clothing, for every possible era and culture

Yes, so we can write smut, obviously, but very informative smut where you come out learning a little something about the undergarments of a woman in the early 1600s Italy and how you might take them off with your teeth

Thanks enonem for this great European source! If anyone has other great sources (especially from other parts of the world), please share
