10 fandoms/10 characters

Many thanks to @tomatette, @jaynesilver, and @fallingdeeperintothispit for tagging me 😁.

Star Wars (Sequels): Armitage Hux. I really do love Kylo too—Ren is such an interesting, dramatic character, and he's absolutely perfect for Hux, seriously. But Hux with his emotional unavailability, hard, overly-composed exterior, his passion/drive to the point of his own detriment, traumatic past...he's everything I could want in a character, because I am also all of these hard-to-love things (though thankfully minus the space fascism).

Star Wars (Prequels): Anakin Skywalker. Look, I know he's a bit whiny sometimes but damn if I don't love a murderous pretty boy on a fool's errand for the person he loves. Mystical space powers and dramatic sweeping outfits are just an added bonus.

Beauty and the Beast: the Beast. For the handful of people following my BatB Kylux fic, this is TOTALLY shocking, I know (and also you guys are amazing ❤️). I do love Belle—she's a book-loving introvert, so that's a given. But the Beast (notice I didn't say Prince Adam)...yeah, I did NOT know how to deal with my attraction to him when I was younger. Mercurial, cursed, awkwardly endearing, dark-haired, passionate, and desirously fluffy?! Wears dramatic capes, has an enchanted rose determining his future, and has the library of my dreams that he is willing to share?? What the fuck more could I want?!

LOTR trilogy: Aragorn. Do I really need to explain that to anyone?? (Also: sorry, Legolas...you were a VERY close second).

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Jemma Simmons. Brilliant, adorable style, much more resilient than she looks. Her quote that goes "Past events...have shown me that I’m not good at improvisation. However, I excel at preparation" is not that great out of context here, unfortunately, but regardless, it was so validating to me. Me too, Jemma!!

Once Upon a Time: Killian Jones (Captain Hook). My husband loves this show, so we have watched it so many times. Hook is a seductive, charming bad boy who eventually really does try his best. And his pirate get-up? UGH, have mercy. (Also, wow, apparently I really, really have a thing for pretty, dark-haired, dangerous men who wear mostly black INCLUDING at least one garment that falls to at least knee length. Huh. That's...rather specific.)

Harry Potter: Hermione Granger. I related hard to a bookish girl who had a hard time making friends when I read these in grade school.

Howl's Moving Castle: Howl. I did not know how to process the extent to which I was attracted to him either, especially because he's not even human some of the time (which I liked, a lot). It was a revelation to find the world of online fanfic where I was very much not alone in those kind of thoughts!

Mean Girls: Janis Ian. Yeah, I know Janis does some shitty things in this movie, but she is unapologetic about who she is. I totally admired her boldness in high school, especially since I too dealt with the horror of rumors being spread about my sexuality (except the ones about me were true ahaha). And I always leaned much more Victorian goth than punk, but I nonetheless appreciated her style as well.

t.A.T.u.: Lena. I would be remiss to leave off this duo, even if they were a musical group, which is not one of my usual fandom sources. BUT they were the first pairing I actually read fanfic about online, way back when, and wrote a ton for them too (unpublished). For a 12-year-old who was struggling massively with...well, everything, but especially feeling incredibly alone and terrified of my sexuality, their music video/song "All the Things She Said" blew my mind. Unfortunately I never got my own chance to make out/run away with a pretty redhead in the rain, but still.

Tagging: I think I've seen this done by most people I follow already? But if you haven't done this and are reading it, please consider yourself tagged and do so, if you wish! I love these get-to-know-you things and would genuinely love to hear about you :).

Quiz

- Repost, don’t reblog - If multi-muse, pick one of your muses - Fill in the questions/statements as if you were your muse - Tag five people to do this meme

TAGGED BY: @andrea-von-strucker tagged fitz so here we go

and still picturing this on the Koenig’s lie detector tbh

TAGGING: 

1. What is your name?

“Jemma Simmons.”

2. What is your real name?

“I don’t see why I wouldn’t have given it before.“

3. Do you know why you were called that?

“As far as I’m aware, it was a simple case of being fond of the names Jemma and Anne and having debated which one goes in which order.“

4. Are you single or taken?

“Quite contentedly taken.“

5. Have any abilities or powers?

“Highly advanced degrees in biochemistry?“

6. Stop being a Mary Sue.

“I’m not altogether sure what that means.“

7. What’s your eye color?

“Brown.”

8. How about your haircolor?

“Also brown.”

9. Have you any family members?

“Both of my parents are alive and well.”  [Answer about siblings tbd since I’ve heard rumours of her childhood getting an infodump soonish.]

10. Oh? What about pets?

“My lifestyle doesn’t particularly support the idea, although to hear people talk, Fitz is quite the loyal puppy.”

11. That’s cool I guess, now tell me about something you don’t like.

“Oh, dear.“  She adopts her old Ward-imitation voice:  “I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.”  But then it falls.  “And I’m not terrifically fond of heights.”

12. Do you have any hobbies/activities you like doing?

“I quite enjoy cooking, honestly, though it’s very hard to do that properly when you’re constantly on the move.”

13. Ever hurt anyone before?

“On more than one occasion, I have managed to defend myself relatively adequately.”

14. Ever….killed anyone before?

“Sunil Bakshi with a splinter bomb, but that was only because I missed Grant Ward.“

15. What kind of animal would you like to be?

“I’m perfectly content being a very well-rounded mammal.  I should hate to sacrifice my intellect for something as trivial as bite strength, or lose my opposable thumbs in order to gain flight.  Humans are a prime example of the saying jack of all trades, master of none.“

16. Name your worst habits.

“Despite my best attempts to remain a ray of optimistic sunshine, I’ve always been a horrible overthinker, always planning every single situation in a massive mental diagram.”

17. Do you look up to anyone at all?

“I’m only five-foot-four, so quite a few people.”  A pause and a grin.  “That was a joke.  I realize you mean emotionally, not literally.  Agent May.  Daisy.  Fitz.  Peggy Carter.  Marie Curie.  Annie Jump Cannon.  The list goes on for ages.” 18. Gay, straight, or bisexual?

“There are more classifications of sexuality than that.  Not even the Kinsey scale includes all of the choices, though it’s a very good start.  I suppose I would have to define myself as a one on the Scale.  Heterosexual with rare homosexual desires.”

19. Do you go to school?

“Not any more, although the world provides a massive amount of learning opportunities.”

20. Do you ever want to marry and have kids one day?

“You know...that’s one of those situations about which I’ve dedicated significant time to listing the pros and cons.  Marriage might not affect my working life, provided my partner who, given his personality, is most likely to be Fitz, works for SHIELD, but children certainly would.”

21. What are you most afraid of?

“Losing Fitz.  I know being betrayed by him isn’t possible in a thousand universes, but losing him is not improbable.“

22. What do you usually wear?

“Whatever’s both stylish and comfortable, really.  The two are equally important.”

23. Do you love someone?

“Romantically, yes, which is what I assume this question pertains to.”

24. When was the last time you wet yourself?

“Are we counting squirting?”  ((JEMMA SIMMONS FFS))

25. Well, it’s not over yet!

“That’s...not actually a question.”

26. What class are you?(High class, middle class, low class)

“My family’s on the higher end of middle, but it’s impossible to determine my own, really.”

27. How many friends do you have?

“Do you honestly expect a literal tally?  Are we including friends from university with whom I haven’t talked in years but would go to a pub with in a heartbeat?”

28. What are your thoughts on pie?

“High in sugar, high in calories, terrible for your health, and often delicious with ice cream.”

29. Favorite drink?

“I know it’s horribly English of me, but probably tea.“

30. What’s your favourite place?

“The British countryside.  We always used to go there on holiday.  When I was little, I thought it was terribly boring, but now, in contrast with the absurdly hectic places I always wind up at for SHIELD, I could spend a month just sitting in a cabin reading while it rains outside.”

31. Are you interested in someone?

“If we’re speaking romantically, everyone and then some know that Fitz and I are already involved.”

32. What’s your bra cupsize and/or how big is your willy?

“Thirty-four B, although why that’s relevant, I’ve no idea.” 33. Would you rather swim in the lake or the ocean?

“In a controlled swimming pool with all of the variables monitored.”

34. What’s your type?

“It’s quite funny because it’s so different from Fitz.  I tend to prefer tall men of African ancestry with a very muscular and symmetrical figure but rather sensitive at the same time.  And in women, it seems to be limited to blondes, especially Natalie Dormer.“

35. Any fetishes?

“I’m not sure it’s a fetish, but I’m quite excited by scientific euphemisms and biological analyses of intimate behaviour.“

36. Seme or uke? Top or Bottom? Dominant or Submissive?

“I’ve no idea what those first ones are.  I do tend to prefer to bottom, and on the one or two times I’ve tried the latter, I’ve been rather dominant.”

37. Camping or indoors?

“Indoor camping can be quite fun.”

38. Are you wanting the quiz to end?

“I have to go to the lavatory, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea.“
