1. Animated character that was your gay awakening? okay so this is actually a tough question for me because honestly my gender AND sexual orientation have been an absolute mess from day one without any help, but overall I think I’m going to dump almost 100% of that burden on disney’s peter pan, and subsequently every single other version of peter pan. not because I had a crush on him as a kid, as apparently a lot of people I know did, but because I projected massively onto peter pan for my entire childhood and if nothing else he’s definitely intrinsically involved with my overall trans-ness. and actually now I think about it, as an adult I do very specifically tend to go for dark, long-haired, flamboyant, affably villainous types who could and might stab me with a literal sword, so maybe the story as a whole was more of a gay awakening than I give it credit for. so yeah maybe the real answer to this question is captain hook. reading Peter Darling was a fucking trip though, I can tell you that much.

18. What’s that one TV show that you’re a little bit embarrassed to watch but you still like nonetheless? Unfortunately... I do still have genuine love for the Robot Lions In Space Show. it’s got robot lions and elves and cat people and they’re all in space, can you blame me?

26. You can only have one juice for the rest of your life, what is it? Pomegranate. it’s delicious and also because of the color/consistency I feel like an aristocratic vampire whenever I drink it.

27. What section do you immediately head for when you walk into a bookstore? scifi/fantasy. sometimes to find new books and sometimes to see what nonsensical covers are on the asimov collection this time.

31. What’s that one outfit in your closet you never get the chance to wear but want to? in terms of like, day-wear clothing clothing? I dunno that I have one, if I really want to wear something I will find a reason, up to and including a full-on ruffly red poet shirt that I’ve unironically worn to the salon more than once. everything else is just like. ren fair/costume/miscellaneous specific event things that I want to wear more because I want to go to more things that I can wear them to. wearing a fur kilt and prosthetic gryphon claws to the grocery store just isn’t the same (ngl though if quarantine goes on much longer I might start).

38. Favorite mid-2000s song there’s no possible way I can pick because I love music from the mid 2000s as a whole, but measuring purely on the merit of how strongly I vibed with it when I was fifteen, I’m going with New Divide by Linkin Park, with the admittedly incongruous runner-up of Black Fox by Heather Dale (which barely edges out several Ke$ha songs). needless to say I was insufferable as a teenager.

42. A song you didn’t think you’d enjoy but ended up loving Okay so before we got the bluetooth speaker and I was able to torment my classmates with star wars cantina music, the music in my cosmo school’s salon was dictated entirely by a very broken ipad that could only play three pandora stations that all had like a dozen top 40s songs that just cycled on repeat. and I am really not into the top 40s right now, is what I mainly learned, but after like the fifty-seventh time hearing pillow talk by zayne I was like “actually I’m kinda into this one, it can stay” and I’ve liked it ever since. even though the ipad got stolen one day and I never heard the song again after that.

46. What’s the freezer food that you stock up on when you go to the grocery store? costco tamales, baby!!! especially during avocado season.
