I wish I was Persephone

 This post is just meant to be fun. I know that most people have a variety of interests and most of those tend to contrast with each other. I just thought I'd point out my own. How I very much relate to Persephone. I want to pick flowers and bask in spring whilst also being the queen of the Underworld. 

An example

Is that too much to ask for. (despite the fact that I'm heavily allergic to flowers) 

Me getting prepped for spring/summer was getting an epi-pen and allergy medication. Which I've had to take far too often.

Today I want to talk about the things I love that are pastel encrusted and soft or just cute. Lately, I've been finding more cute things. Is it the sun, the blooming flowers, maybe?

Either way, I'm obsessed. I've slowly been trying to incorporate this aesthetic into my life, it contrasts beautifully with the grungy darker stuff I usually go for. I've always loved a good contrast.

Most of these things have been small like adding pink things into my life whenever I can. Eating pink food, that's generally strawberry flavored. Taking copious pictures of flowers. Always running out to watch the sunset turn the sky blush-colored.  Drinking strawberry and peach lemonade. Listening to soft acoustic music in the rain. May showers are particularly good. I love to curl up on our swing and sketch or read during them.

*clicks on TXT We Lost the Summer*

Here I am spreading my love for pink with all the subtlety of Tamaki Suoh.

movies

Map of Tiny Perfect Things

I need more movies like this cute/funny with believable characters stuck in a time loop. So they go around looking for perfect things. It makes me emotional and I highly recommend. 

The Mitchell's vs the Machines

This had me and my brother cackling. Geniuely funny and the family dynamics and general chaos made it incredibly enjoyable. A good dose of 90's nostalgia as well. 

Spirited Away

I can't believe how long it took me to watch this. I was completely engrossed and enchanted. This movie gave me such a carefree and peaceful feeling. The art is absolutely gorgeous and the characters will stay with me for a long time. Best thing I've seen in awhile. 

dramas

Doom at your Service

This one has all the Hades/Persephone vibes you could hope for. It's about a girl who finds out she's dying of a brain tumor and after getting drunk wishes doom on the world. It just so happens to be Doom's birthday and he gets to grant a wish. He picks hers, and she enters into a contract with him. 

I am loving it, plus there's a writer side character who gets Lee Soo Hyuk as her love interest and it's so fun to see him in a modern drama. 

My Roommate is a Gumiho

This is lighthearted, doesn't take itself to seriously drama I've been needing. I love the premise even if it's a bit ridiculous. A girl runs into a Gumiho and accidently swallows his foxbead. She then moves in with him until he can find a way to remove it. I love the main character Lee Dam, she loves food, history, and is a little insane. She can't touch boys who are born in the year of the tiger, or else she gets super sick. So of course the second lead is one of those boys and he stole my heart immediately. Darn second lead syndrome. It's even worse because the lead is played  Jang  Ki-yong who I loved in Kill It. So I'm torn. 

So I Married the Antifan

Another one where the premise is just perfect. I swear most K-dramas have fanfiction inspired plots and I wouldn't have it any other way. Essentialy after a not so good run in with a pop star Hoo Joon. Where she ends up throwing her heel at him. Lee Geun-yeong gets fired from her job as a journalist. She vows revenge and after getting a ton of backlash from fans ends up being offered a part in a reality show with Hoo Joon. Where they live together and such. It's a romance full of ups and downs and I'm enjoying it immensly 

Miss the Dragon

This one is trash in so many ways. It makes no sense for one. The cgi is abysmal, I dislike the main female lead, and there is a lot wrong with it. But it's also one of my favorite things of the moment. I started watching this for Dylan Wang in a silver haired wig so my expectations weren't high. I'm not watching this for substance. It's like cotton candy pretty and aesthetic but dissolves rather easily. It is the most pastel and saccharine show that I am currently watching. Again though I love it oddly enough. I would watch it 100% just for the Dragon King. He has young Jareth vibes. 

Also the aesthetics and costumes are right up my alley.

The chick is on like her third recarnation and he's had to let her marry other people. So he's nothing if not patient. My true favorites are the second leads one whose a stodgy immortal dude and the other a flighty bird demon named  Qingqing. They have a Beauty& the Beast and even slightly Sophie & Howl  type relationship. I love them. 

They are adorable. 

I'm sure there are other soft things I've been enjoying, but for the life of me I can't remember any. 

I guess I'll end it here. I think my next post will involve all the other stuff that doesn't fit the pastel theme.
