Orchid’s Whims
Welcome to my imaginary worlds!
My name is Ilona, and I love talking about movies, video games, fashion, but also food and pop culture fashion. But my real passion is writing horror stories.
Enjoy your visit!

I don’t know if this post will stay online, but something happened, and I’m not sure what to think or what to do. I talked to some friends about it, and I got various responses; no one really agrees on the subject. I’m lost. TW: Drugs, violence, alcoholism, child abandonment. A few days ago, I…

Yesterday, my in-laws came to visit: my parents-in-law, my sister-in-law, and her fiancé. It was their first time at my house, and I wasn’t quite sure what to do. I was nervous. Is this what being an adult is like? I didn’t have many ideas for the menu, and then my neighbor (my hero!) gave…

I didn’t have much time to write last week, so I’m making up for it with this short post. I wouldn’t want new visitors to feel like they’re just on yet another food blog! Enjoy! The Black Dress Today is flea market day in the town where I grew up. I came home to spend…

Hey Orchid, where did your passion for video games come from? As I’ve already told you, I grew up in foster care, so I didn’t have my own game console or PC for a long time. Before I was 10, I had no idea such a thing existed. I had to be invited to a…

As I’ve already mentioned, my experience with video games is quite limited, especially on PC. So now that I have one thanks to my boyfriend, I needed some games. Initially, I looked at free-to-play games, but they’re mostly competitive multiplayer, so I was advised to play single-player games to get used to the keyboard and…

I know this has already been said, but I need to get this off my chest, so here goes. A while ago, the trailer for the Harry Potter series came out: Something bothered me a bit. I hadn’t looked up any information about the series; I knew it was filming, but I had no idea…

Good heavens, what am I getting myself into? What am I going to say? Haaaa! You’re here!?!?!? Well then, um… hello! Forgive me, but this is my first time starting a blog and I really have no idea how to begin this introduction! Perhaps should I tell you a little about myself? Who I am:…
