hi i'm ______ + no context nonsense

Hi, I'll be including pictures in this post. Nice.

I ended up going off-topic in the last post. Whoops. I guess you could say I got carried away.

Story 1 is so messed up. Geez.

My lovely, cursed characters! ;D

Anyway, I'm going to try and create my music playlists for Sparkle and C./Calliah soon. My lists of songs for them is starting to get long.

The one for C./Calliah shares songs from most of my other playlists (*cough* Duke/Fierdan, Ryen, Dawn) which makes sense. Since C. is their mother and Calliah is Duke's.

Meanwhile, I think Sparkle's is entirely different. XD

Now on with the main point of this post (before the silliness)!*

--------------------------------------------------------------

*breathes in*

o k a y

I just want to talk about (clarify?) some things regarding myself. As always, I'm writing this post in a "stream of consciousness" way. Will things go deep? Perhaps.

Well, here goes.

Hi, I go by a few names; the ones I go by most often online these days are: Shan, Spirit, and in respects to the origins of this blog, Cutepups.

Shan is most like my birth name, which I've mentioned here before. So, uh, well.......

At first, I wasn't taking Shan that seriously as a name. I just regarded it as my birth name minus a few letters. And yeah, that is true. But ok. Here's the thing.

I've grown attached to calling myself Shan. I like how it sounds. It makes me feel good in my own skin, so to speak. No, I don't hate my birth name; it's just that I like hearing Shan. Thinking people are calling me Shan (maybe I'm not hearing them properly lol), calling myself Shan... it just feels good.

On another note... wanna see my ring? Well, one of them. Haha.

Here it is!

(ignore my hand lol just focus on the ring)

Here's one of the rings I got for Hanukkah! :D

If you didn't know, I was so so happy to get this ring. Why, you ask? Well, you see......

It's supposed to be my aromantic ring. If you don't know what aromantic means, you can look it up yourself. 

But I'll briefly explain what an "aro ring" is. 

Aro rings are white or silver, and they can be any type of ring. The rings are worn on the middle finger of the left hand. That's why I'm wearing my ring on that finger.

My ring is silver and is in the shape of an arrow. One of the symbols of aromanticism in the aromantic community is arrows. 

And so, I call it my "arrow aro ring". :)

This past week was also Aromantic (Spectrum) Awareness Week. I know I'm late to the party, but here I am! 

Moving on now......~

I'm taking a few literature courses at university, so I have to read a lot. Maybe I'll make a post (or few) where I'll just ramble/rant about the books I had to read. I'm not in the mood to do that now.

This past evening was so good. I felt genuinely happy. I was in a good mood. And I still am... except I'm a lot more tired now, haha.

I had to go to an event where I had to dress up. Not fancy-fancy; more formal dress than a T-shirt and jeans. So I found a nice white top, and I liked wearing it. I also had my contacts in and found it easier to put on makeup than before. I rarely wear makeup, but I felt like putting on a little makeup for the event. 

So I did that. There, I socialized with friends. Which was pretty entertaining. Some of them are wild. Oh geez. XD

Then later on, I was in a video call with my sister and parents. So... yeah lol. 

I don't want to make this post drag on and on, so I'll now conclude the serious part of it.

Hi, I'm... happy. 

:) 

-------------------------------------------------------------

Time for nonsense! Silliness! Time to go berserk! Let chaos unfold! 

........ and by that, I mean that I'll be inserting pictures from Episode stories I've played/read without explaining what's going on. 

Oh boy, this will be fun! >:D

*brings out the pics*

~*~*~*~*~*~

1st Episode story (male version, then female version): "Bad to the Bone" by Lee Funk. (aka God Killer! Fierdan AU story)

lmao 

and the female version:

Danielle = female! Fierdan

(Danielle ... Daniel — yeah.)

-x-x-x-

2nd Episode story: "Wings of Light" by How_Novel. (aka possible Dukle (DukeXTwinkle) story?)

This story uses ink; the others use something called limelight. 

Stella = Twinkle

Anyone remember that ship from back in the day? Dukle? Duke and Twinkle shipped together? That ship I made canon? Yeah boi. What a classic. Bi/Ace solidarity! *claps*

Uh, what? They are. Yes.

-x-x-x-

3rd Episode story: "My Alien Lover" by Anyanka. (This one isn't connected to my characters, but I made the male main character kind of look like Fierdan but off-color Yes, I gave Fierdan an unofficial Episode look. Hopefully, you'll understand by the end of this post what that look is. *winks at my computer screen*)

their faces lmao 

-x-x-x-

4th Episode story: "Counting Sheep" by Piccalily. (aka casual school AU for Duke/Fierdan. The main male character I play as is both Duke and Fierdan because I said so. oh and it is also gay. of course.)

The Fierdan-looking character is Danny. Because that sounds like a more ordinary name. Because... school AU. 

That look in the second picture. Omg. Danny's face. That knowing look. Boi, you gay. Well, you're bi. But hey, you're a boy who likes boys. Which is pretty gay if you ask me. lol

The blond boy who is Cameron is supposed to kinda be like my Finny character but if he possibly has a romantic crush on Duke. I mean Danny. lol that's gay

Cameron (aka Finny): *sighs* This really doesn't count as our first date, does it? 

Hmm. Is he hesitant, afraid to verify the friendship turning into romance as well? Or is he sighing because he's disappointed. Like idk, "*sigh* first date? I just wanted to hang out with my dude, Danny; I hope I didn't give him the wrong idea like I'm gay or something." lol

Episode is a wonderful app! XD

Well, I'm going to end this post here. 

Time for me to go to sleep. Good night.
