hi hi, pinned post time (subject to change bc people change)!
online aliases (in order of preference): allbookmonkey, ally, ally :), allyz
essentials: any pronouns, person of color, in uni on my 2nd degree (help) ♡
mainly post stuff about my life! my profile is a happy, comfy & safe place. i like existing peacefully, so if you’re here to say things that will hurt people’s feelings or cause arguments, this is not the place for you :)
interests:
social dancing, skyrim, minecraft, SCP, one direction, louis tomlinson, drawing, writing, donating blood, everything everywhere all at once, resident evil 2 & 4, heathers (both movie & musical), hitman, detroit become human
attended a lovely event :) got several compliments on the fit, so here’s a drawn fit check!!
also, ally updates from the last few months:
- became an intermediate skill latin dancer (i’m not latina, my friends got me into it hehe 
)
- learned how football works, am now mildly into watching it /( ‘ _ ’ )\
- learned how to do makeup (after an extensive 4-year struggle)
- became a 2x published coauthor on research papers (working on my 3rd paper, FREE ME 
)
- learned how to cook and bake, assisted only by online tutorials and FAFO
- back into reading!! message me if you have a Storygraph account, id love to stalk what you’re reading i mean, get reading recommendations
- trying to get a better j*b
i may not have the best GPA, but i did save more than one life, coauthor research papers, AND am passing college!! pretty good run if you ask me
i disappeared for a while, so time for a report! in my MIA time i have:
gotten legitimate depression from a truly demonic computer science course’s professor
fallen behind in other classes because of said course
gotten tutoring from multiple friends and TAs, all of whom despise my professor and therefore feel they should help me
learned to cook on a stovetop officially! i was so bad before
went to multiple business establishments w cats
discovered that one of my friends is also my neighbor?!?!?! o_0
helped submit research papers written by my research teams & i to academic conferences
gotten back into reading & writing
so overall a pretty ok break!! still getting tutoring rn 
so that lasted for like 3 weeks
ok look. when you’re not hungry at dinner, i feel like it should be socially acceptable to just pull out some rinded soft herb cheese and put it on chipotle chips WITHOUT judgement
no bias though
brought back sticker souvenirs for my friends while travelling and now i get to surprise them with them (
‿‿
)
i got a surprise party 
i love them

improvised bingo babeyyy
just got my friends to show up with bingos, exchange them, and go for a walk
excellent enrichment time i gotta say
summer is alternating between having too much to do bc you signed up for a lot of things thinking you wouldn’t be busy, and being bored out of your mind because you don’t know what to do
unironically me with call of duty and various other types of fanfiction
Writing a story is basically improv but you have time to change your mind. I’m just making it up as I go
black coffee (when it’s not from starbucks) is actually not bad at all, i see what my friends meant

quite a few (like at least 3) of my friends have been struggling with feeling like they’re not “good” friends 
but like. my friends make me feel safe and cared about, because like.
who else sends me Arcane memes when it feels like there’s no more Arcane memes to see?
who else fuckin shows up at my dorm in the middle of the night to walk 10K steps when i’m sad and need company?
who else texts me every few days to check in and send pictures of flowers and fireworks and animals they see bc they know i have helicopter parents and can’t really leave my house during the summer?
who else laid with me on the floor of our friend’s dorm room for two hours while our friend was feeling burnt out while holding a Tangled watch party because i’d never seen it before and it was one of her comfort movies?
who else gifted me one of my favorite video games because i have a rabid crush on the protagonist???
who else went with me without question to a cat cafe for the sole reason of testing if i was still allergic to cats?
who texts me foaming at the mouth when she hears about a theatre troupe we really like touring in America and debates the best numbers in a musical with me for two hours, by the end of which we still don’t agree?
like bitch!!! you’re good friends because you make me feel heard, thought of, and happy!! you think about me like once a week or whenever you see something that reminds you of me and you stick around even when im sad or snappy and THAT is being a good friend!!!!
