The Famous Proust Questionnaire.
So I was tagged in this questionnaire by fiktivnilik which was also done by David Bowie and I was inspired by the answers from both of them so I figured I’d give it a go. These are the questions, I shall do my best to answer them honestly and heartfelt. If you are a mutual please feel free to copy and tag me in.
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
What is your most marked characteristic?
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
What is your greatest fear?
What historical figure do you most identify with?
Which living person do you most admire?
Who are your heroes in real life?
What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
What is the trait you most deplore in others?
What is your favorite journey?
What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
Which word or phrases do you most overuse?
What is your greatest regret?
What is your current state of mind?
If you could change one thing about your family, what would it be?
What is your most treasured possession?
What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?
Where would you like to live?
What is your favorite occupation?
What is the quality you most like in a man?
What is the quality you most like in a woman?
What are your favorite names?
What is your motto?
*My own land and home, all my bills paid, my dog and cat with me, no one to answer to and someone to share it with.
*My most marked characteristic...either my eyes or my voice. Both are used like a weapon when needed but also are just there. People have always given them more worth than I have.
*I don’t know if I’ve done it yet. I’ve lived a big life I don’t know how to quantify it into one moment or achievement. I’ll get back to you one day.
*Losing my dog. I know it’s going to happen and I can’t stop it but as it approaches I can feel it like a dark mass. I’ve had people try kill me, shot at, stabbed and pushed through warzones, but that fucking dog kills me.
*What historically figure do I most identify with, well that’s a tough one. But I’m going to go with Hunter S Thompson. By every sense of the word that fucker is a historical figure.
*This is a tough one. I admire a number of people in real life, both known personally and from a distance. I like people who approach it different from the rest.
*Who are my real life heroes, I guess it’s people I admire in the top of their fields but also people I know intimately. Hunter S Thompson, Valentino Rossi also one, Anthony Bourdain, Nina Simone, Clint Eastwood, Danny Glover, D’Angelo, My grandfather. People that have inspired me.
*Ah..what trait do I deplore in myself...Honestly, pushing things to the edge. pushing things sometimes to ruin and pulling it from the fire time and time again. Sometimes it feels like self sabotage.
* Now as for what I deplore in others...honestly ignorance. Fuck that, we live in an age where we have access to the most information in human history and it’s fucking squandered. And someone doing “research” which consists of facebook links and posts from friends. Seriously, fuck off. If you studied for years and spent your life interested in a field I’ll listen to you all day if you base it in logic and fact.
*My favourite journey.. learning, experiencing and doing. I believe the day you stop moving and learning is the day you start dying.
* An overrated virtue..company loyalty. Unless they are giving you a % of profits or a share then they are in it for their own profit and not yours. You can do better.
*What words and phrase do I overuse...well fuck...that’s one. *laughing* fuck that, hmmm, ahhh. eat a dick. bless your heart, dear, darlin, fair is fair. I think that’s enough.
*My greatest regret...well that’s a tough one. I have a few, and I try to live my life without them but that’s not always possible. I’m still raw over my grandparents when I look at it and I’ve hurt people that truly loved me and that’s all on me.
*Current state of mind. Optimistic and determined. I’m not having another year like last year, ever fucking again.
* I’d have my grandparents still alive.
*Ah I’d say my dog. He is a possession, but very much more so a companion and guardian. I’d kill for that mutt.
*Ignorance and doing the same thing every day for most of your life. That is misery to me, the same as everyone else and never questioning or trying new things. Sounds like a lvl of hell to me.
*Many places, but I’d love a house in Thailand, US, and Oz. That would make me happy for the rest of days.
*Favourite Occupation...tough one. I’ve always wanted to fly planes, I can see how I wouldn't enjoy doing that each day, and let’s be honestly playing basketball or anything tactical and involving weapons would make me happy each day waking up. Just because it would.
*Quality I like most in a man. Ability to learn. You find a male willing to do that and isn’t threaten by other males or females then you can work with that guy in almost anything.
*As for in a woman...confidence in themselves and what they are capable of. Women are formidable creatures who are capable of whatever they set their mind on. It’s intoxicating and demands more attention.
*Favourite names...I have a few, but hearing my own out of the lips of someone I love, does hit a spot. And I’m partial to Nordic and terms of endearment that is earned by putting up with my shit and also the names of those I adore.
* I don’t know if I have a motto, but something I’ve always repeated to myself and to this day is one of the first things I’d get inked on me. “The reluctance to put away childish things may be a requirement of genius. “ And always be learning and moving forward, we are ever changing an evolving and try to be open to learning new things. You never know, until you try.
Ah that’s it. That took longer than I thought and shared more than I usually ever would, but that’s it to the best of my ability. It’s not easy going through it, but there is a worth to it. I hope you guys enjoyed a rare peek behind the curtains.

I have seen a few DCxMarvel dimension travel fics, and quite a few of them are of them are Peter Parker post-blip. Which gives me a crack fic idea: everyone who got snapped ended up in the DC universe. Yes, all of them.
The current world population is around eight billion, so half of that would be 4 billion... Yeah that would cause so so so many problems. But the DC universe is used to crazy shit.
Obviously there would be a sudden influx of "new" heroes and villains but with absolutely no context it is hard to figure out who is who.
Batman immediately trying to make contingency plans for all these new heroes and villains as well as figure out their civilian identities but this is very difficult because literally no records exist yet.
Magic users from both worlds team up, but I think they were still unable to fix it, the infinity stones were just too powerful. Also I think Dr. Strange and Constantine can't stand each other.
While I am at it, Wonder Woman and Loki would probably hate each other too. DC is more Greek but it has had their own version of Norse mythology, so maybe they are the same and have beef?
They would struggle to feed and house that many new people, but getting them jobs and integrating them into society would be hard too. And good luck proving anything anyone says. "You swear you have a law degree from Harvard? Okay I guess."
Do doubles exist? Yeah a lot of people probably don't have an alternate universe double, but it stands to reason some do. How do you deal with having a new kind-of twin? Or a dead friend or relative coming back, but different? Or even someone you never knew/doesn't exist in this world insisting they are family.
Some au double ideas I have seen people toss around are: Dick Grayson as Richard Parker, Kara Danvers as Carol Danvers, Steve Trevor as Steve Rogers, and Slade Wilson as/being somehow related to Wade Wilson, but I am sure there are other fun ideas out there too.
The snap didn't just affect humans/earth! So other planets are having the same problems.
Then randomly, five years later, just when people were getting used to the change, they all disappear again without warning. This causes as many problems as the original appearance did.
