Finally moving back to where I belong
Hi (? Probably no one will read this, I think I'm alone here XD but it's kind of great, because I think I can use this blog for absolutely anything I can think of and that includes using it as a personal diary. I like to express myself freely and vent <(￣︶￣)> 💕
I'm excited and at the same time way too anxious these days because I'm moving to my hometown, Montevideo. I'm saving up to buy some new furniture right now while the builders and my dad are working on getting the new house ready.
I don't know how to explain how important this is to me. These years in the neighborhood where I currently live haven't been the best. I have to say that the times I was happy were when I traveled to Montevideo for something or when I was locked inside my house. Yeah. My happiest moments in this neighborhood were when I was locked in my house, forgetting that this neighborhood existed, because I never felt good here, I never felt welcome, not in my childhood, nor in my adolescence, not even in adulthood.
When I left elementary school in Montevideo as a child because my family and I moved and they transferred me to a school in this neighborhood, the change of environment was total. My innocence was erased almost completely. Seriously. I was a very innocent little girl before coming here, but I had to force myself to transform into something "tougher" so they wouldn't hurt me, because this new school was a very hostile place and my classmates were mostly very violent. I came from a family that raised me and taught me to enjoy my childhood, and then I ran into a world full of kids wanting to act like adults, who looked at you and treated you terribly if you acted according to your age.
I assumed that was a problem that would end when moving on to high school and entering a liceo, also in the same area, but the experience was even worse. I'm not going to expand too much here because it's really too much, but to sum it up, the "welcome" they gave me in that place was a girl beating me up under the excuse that I was "acting pretty." As ridiculous as it sounds. In that place, it was customary for them to hit first-year girls who looked naive, or wealthy, or "pretty" (though I don't know what criteria they based this on). You saw girls being beaten up after class all the time, and everyone cheered; nobody questioned this, they celebrated it instead. In this same institution, several teachers mistreated me and I didn't understand why. I mean, I had a style that at that time was considered "weird"—I loved video games, anime, black clothes—something that nowadays is very normal, but back then you got bullied for it. However, I don't consider that teachers or school authorities should treat their students poorly for being different. My God, everything was so wrong with this place; this was where I developed my depression and the time when I used to cut my arms looking to take my own life. I also met the best psychologist in the world here, I must admit, and of course, my best friends, who have been with me all these years and we now have 13 years of friendship.
Anyway, I'm not going to delve too deeply into what happened at this high school, as I said, but honestly too many things happened there, and I used to think that was the standard high school experience, until my mom finally believed me when I told her that this place was destroying me emotionally, and she noticed everything that was happening and transferred me to another school, enrolling me in one in Montevideo. I had to travel more, since I didn't live in that city at the time as you know, but the experience was SO different. I felt like I was in paradise, just because they were treating me with basic decency. Studying in Montevideo made me realize that what was happening in my neighborhood wasn't normal, that good people, kind teachers, and professionals actually existed.
Since that time, my experience with Montevideo has been purely positive. That made me miss living there even more. I was very small when I lived in Montevideo, but I felt the change in environment as soon as we moved to my current neighborhood; I was never happy here, so now you can understand that I'm extremely happy and excited because I'm going to live again in the city I consider my home. ❤️🩹
It's funny and amusing to me that I was so amazed to see that in my new home I'll have such normal things like a store or supermarket nearby, functional transport that doesn't leave you stranded for two hours in the street waiting, or a sidewalk, lol. I really didn't have those things in my neighborhood.
I don't want to sound ungrateful either. I know I'm throwing a lot of hate at my neighborhood, but I swear I'm grateful, even if it doesn't seem like it. I'm grateful because here in this neighborhood I grew strong, I had all kinds of experiences that taught me to be who I am today, and it taught me to deeply value things that many of us take for granted. Plus, I love the house I lived in all these years; I lived many happy moments there with my family and it has always been my refuge, so I have nothing negative to say about my old home, I only have love for it.
Anyway, in a few weeks maybe I'll show how my bedroom is turning out 🧸🩷

🖤Yōkai Araceli Pereira (OC/insert) (horror ver.)👹
This is the continuation of the original story of my oc-insert (post-death).
After her tragic death on stage, due to the rituals she performed in life, she became a specter, specifically a shape-shifting Yōkai; this means, she can change her shape, size and switch between different Yōkai types. She stayed on Earth to annoy people or have fun in her new form, following the nature of mischievous Yōkai.
Her most normal form, which is similar to her alive self, is the one she uses for infiltrating between humans. The masks shown in references are sometimes used to hide her weird eyes when she is in attack mode, Oni mask and the Noh Mask to be specific, although she has those masks for the meaning on those and it helps her to connect with the spirits.
She is sometimes accompanied by spirits that manifest as black aura with pale faces. These can be very small or to have different forms, always keeping their body made of black aura.
She doesn't belong to any specific fandom, I created this version because I love J-horror and Yōkai :3
👹 AU: In this AU, she met Carter when she was alive and after death, she is still with him :D
🌸 Extra: In this version, Araceli wears a lot of cute and pink clothes, more coquette than usual, because this way she feels more "human" and less monstrous ;w;

🍭🥩 Introduction 🍓💀🎀
ʚ ͜ ̩͙ ︵ ̩͙ ୨ ♡ ୧ ̩͙ ︵ ̩͙ ͜ ɞ
Hii!! ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )/ It's Araceli, from Uruguay 🇺🇾 I love J-horror, paranormal stuff, art, fashion, alcohol and everything in pink!🩷 I'm yumeshipper :D I have certain beliefs for Yōkai and other weird thingsss 🌜 Baby witch and Psychology student ( ◜‿◝ )♡ I'm huge music lover and I love playing videogames too! ☆ I wanna post anything here, mostly about my ship with Carter Horton from Final Destination <3 but also some photos, thoughts and random stuff about my life!
This will be like my personal diary, with the difference that I will post my artworks here too. I like to reflect a lot, especially since I started studying Psychology at University, so I might write quite a bit sometimes.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression in my teens and art has been my best treatment in a world where access to mental health is quite complicated, so I thought it would be the best to create a space where I mix my personal life and my art, since these two are very intertwined. In addition, I suffer from social anxiety and having this space to express myself helps me a lot.
ʚ ͜ ̩͙ ︵ ̩͙ ୨ ♡ ୧ ̩͙ ︵ ̩͙ ͜ ɞ
🩷 I love my beloved husband Carter Horton (Final Destination 1) so muuuuch (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ he is everything that I ever wanted omg♡(> ਊ <)♡!!!💘💘

☆ Araceli Pereira (Final Destination OC + selfinsert) ☆🐻
Araceli Pereira is a foreigner girl (latina), theater student (on Mt. Abraham school, years later), addicted to horror movies, who wants to be a star but always fails in her intents because of the nervous and shyness. She was obsessed with investigating about the flight 180 events too and the other visionaries.
In my original story, a theater collapsed in the middle of a performance where students from Mt. Abraham School were watching. Araceli would be crushed to death, like many others in the incident, but a visionary managed to save her and other students, like in the other movies.
Throughout the rest of the story, Araceli tries to convince herself that death doesn't haunt her; she doesn't want to die and leave her dreams unfulfilled. She continues to strive to achieve her goal of becoming a star.
As soon as she learned how the rules worked, coupled with her mental state beginning to crack, she was tempted to take a blade and trade her life for someone else's, but in the end she regretted it and decided to continue living her life as long as she could, knowing that death would come for her at any moment, and she would be waiting for it.
When finally manages to get closer to her goal, ends up being crushed to death by a spotlight on stage in front of tons of people.
[Carter Horton is already dead, so she only saw him in newspapers as a survivor of Flight 180 and liked him. She feels a connection with him and says to herself that she will not end up like him, although she wouldn't mind to accompany him.]
﹒⭒﹒⭒﹒⭒﹒﹒⭒💀⭒﹒⭒﹒﹒⭒﹒⭒﹒⭒﹒
🏈 Final Destination AU (my main story):
Carter Horton is a survivor, some years passed since the flight 180 events. Araceli and Carter meet in Mt. Abraham school; they hate each other and fight almost all the time, it is the typical dynamic of the popular guy and the nerd. He bullies her a bit for being a loser and weird but she bothers him as well.
When Araceli first arrived at school as the new foreign student, Carter felt a certain irritation at seeing her so friendly and sweet with those who had once been his friends. He felt she was taking over the friendships he had lost due to his own toxic behavior, fueled by his past traumas and the bad temper he had, as well as his aggression issues.
He now hung out with the guys on the team, especially George and Kevin, who were a better fit for this new Carter who wanted to get his life back on track and be a successful athlete. But he felt resentful when he saw Araceli hanging out with Alex, Clear, or Billy, enjoying a more positive and friendly atmosphere that he didn't have. This led him to start bothering her in the hallways, making fun of her interests, her tastes that he considered "weird," her poor English, and her "ridiculous" dreams. At first, Araceli felt like an intruder invading the space Carter considered his own (the school), but then she began to respond and treat him on equal terms, so they became rivals who didn't waste a single moment fighting or harassing each other, each from their own side.
Between fights, it had become a habit for them to see each other at school, and without realizing it, the supposed hatred they felt was changing into something stronger, leading them to share a secret that belonged only to the two of them.
Araceli and Carter loved each other secretly without telling each other, almost to the point of obsession, and they spied on each other in silence, until finally the feelings came to light because it was too obvious at some point.
Extra: Araceli was always aware of Carter's traumas and the events he has lived through, since the Flight 180 incident is still a sensitive topic at the school, and everyone knows about it. So, from time to time, even when they were enemies, she offered him support and acted in a friendly way toward him, trying to get closer to him, just as he sometimes tried to get closer to her, since they both struggle with depression for different reasons and understand each other despite everything.
In this AU, Araceli ends up fulfilling her dreams, marrying Carter, starting a family, and having a successful career as a singer and actress in horror musicals.

🩷 Facts about her and the AU:: 🩷
🐻 Araceli is a huge fan of horror movies and paranormal stuff, she likes alcoholic drinks and to smoke, videogames, food, candies, plushies and cute stuff, also bad guys lol // She sometimes gets drunk when her depression gets really bad.
🎨 She loves art and to draw, enjoying some wine or tea and cigarettes meanwhile. She has a dark brown, eyeless teddy bear that her parents gave her when she was a child and she sometimes carries it around for comfort and good luck charm.
👹 Araceli has beliefs about Yōkai and feels a connection with them.
🌙 Araceli often practices magic rituals, especially during calm moments at night or outdoors when she is surrounded by nature. She tries to connect with Yōkai through this. (I have a small AU too, a bit out of FD universe, in which there are spirits in the form of black aura with pale faces that accompany Araceli.)
🧿 Despite mainly studying theater, Araceli also attends art classes at her school and plans to study psychology soon, because despite dreaming of being a star, psychology is a profession that also fascinates her.
🫖 While being student, Araceli worked at an Occult shop and a Chinese tea house, not everyday but part of the week.
⭐ Alex, Clear, Tod and Billy are alive too (not Terry because I wanted to keep on the story the trauma of Carter after losing a beloved one) and yeah probably some other characters from the series that I like.
I won't be following canon timing too closely in this AU, as I'd like to include characters from other films in the series in this story.

🩷EXTRA:: Ship Dynamic 🩷
The relationship between Carter and Araceli began as one of enmity. Carter was still sensitive about the events of Flight 180 and the loss of Terry, so he felt particularly annoyed when Araceli entered the school as a new foreigner student with her bad English and began associating with Clear, Billy, and Alex as friends, appearing overly friendly and "loud," which caused Carter to distrust and feel irritated. He began teasing her and calling her mocking nicknames like weirdo or nerd. At first, Araceli didn't respond much to him because she was still new to the school and was intimidated by Carter's behavior, but then she began to respond and tease him back, so they grew closer without realizing it.
After a while, Carter teased Araceli no longer out of irritation but to get closer, and finally one day they revealed that they liked each other. This ended up bringing them closer and they began to talk more deeply about their problems and traumas, and their conversations helped them heal a little each day.
Carter has become an emotional support for Araceli in her process of working hard to achieve her dream career and overcome depression, and Araceli was very patient and understanding with Carter as he struggled with past traumas, searching for ways to overcome his anger issues.
﹒⭒﹒⭒﹒⭒﹒
🩷EXTRA:: Friendship 🩷
Araceli arrived at school filled with fear and nerves. Her English wasn't the best, and she spent a lot of time alone the first few days. However, she met Clear Rivers after seeing her reading a book she also liked, and they started talking right away.
During those days, Araceli met Billy Hitchcock in one of her classes. He was very kind to her from the start and offered to help her learn more about the school and how the student system worked.
Over time, the friendship between Araceli and other students grew. Her friends are mostly those classified as "weird" or "nerdy" at school.
