#I sleep better when I imagine the five kids in this movie being friends XD

WWATCF Headcanon #2

Mike Teevee must wear glasses when he grows up.

Why? Well, blue eyes have been shown to be more sensitive to light and glare. Besides the fact that Mike would probably damage his vision from watching TV so much, his recklessness constantly plays against him (and, if I remember correctly, he didn't have the dark glasses on his eyes when he stepped in front of the camera).

It doesn't matter if it's before or after the tour: I can imagine him outside in the distinctive Arizona weather saying, "Hey, Fishface, I bet I can hold out longer starin' at the sun than you can!".

I have a mighty thirst! Would you answer all the Christmas asks for Natsu? ^^

I can do! Btw I’m sorry this got so long. I sort of rambled on and on XD

How early do they start decorating their house for christmas?

Decorating? Natsu doesn’t even know the meaning. Though, he would be forced to help decorate the guild with every body as well as some big decorations that the guild helps put up in town (like the huge Christmas tree that Freed keeps alive with runes) but otherwise he doesn’t do much to his house! However, the guild would 100% be decorating early since I can imagine that Mira is a big Christmas person.

point to add:

- Natsu is only allowed to put up Christmas decorations with the supervision of Gray or Juvia.

Do they enjoy christmas specials and movies? If yes which one is their favourite?

I always hc that Natsu, when he was little, didn’t know what Christmas was. I mean, being raised by a dragon and all...

He probably found out about the holiday when it first came up in his first year at the guild. This would Ofc lead to him binging all the Christmas classic upon request of everyone because omg how have you not seen that??

His favourite one would definitely be the Nightmare Before Christmas because 1. WHATS THIS WHATS THIS reflects everything he feels about Christmas and 2. He also would like to kidnap Mr Sante Clause

How do they spend christmas eve? Alone snuggled up in a big sweater or with their (found) families and friends and a big feast? If the latter is the case what foods will be included?

I always feel like there would be a huge feast at the guild every year. They are all found family so it just wouldn’t be right to go off by themselves or in respective groups because what if someone is alone and they don’t know? This is why is becomes Natsu’s favourite time of the year. Everyone one is there and they’re all happy. It makes the pain of Igneel not being there just a little bit easier to carry because he’s surrounded by the warm faces of all he holds dear.

However, I can always imagine that somehow (because they love to annoy her) that team NATSU all wind up back at Lucy’s place very drunk and very full. This leads to absolute chaos when they pull out the party games (remember the special everyone?? Well it’s that every year!)

Though as the years go by the group lessens. Gajeel and Levy have their twins to attend to and soon even Gray and Juvia drop off when they finally get together. Erza always leaves early for a secret meeting and Wendy gets older. So it eventually leads to the original team Natsu only being at Lucy’s house, but they still have fun.

I mean it’s always more fun when they’re together

And you can definitely bet that by the end of the night everyone is still passed out. Happy is curled up at the top of the pillow from eating too much stuffed fish and Natsu and Lucy somehow how fell asleep in the middle of a game. The blondes eyes just grew a little too tired as she sat next to him, his warmth bringing her eye lids down, till soon she falls asleep on his shoulder. And Natsu- well he does what he always wants to do. He picks her up and gets into bed as she clings to his chest like a monkey. Her hair would be tickling his nose but he doesn’t mind because her smell is so nice. And they sleep curled up together just like family - smiles still on their faces.

Do they have special/weird holiday traditions?

YES. Ever since Natsu came to the guild he has been trying to (and failing) to capture Santa. It’s obviously Makarov and the first year he nearly knocks the guild master out as he flies down from ceiling. After a struggle Makarov eventually manages to knock the poor kid out and he’s unconscious for three days afterwards.

This leads to a full on rivalry with Natsu and Santa Clause (aka makarov) because how dare that red bastard knock him out. The plans become elaborate- more fire involved- and Makarov barely comes out alive as he tries to plant presents in the guild every Chirstmas morning

A big layer of snow lies outside, will they go for a calm walk enjoying the winter breeze, build a snowman and do some snowangels or just straight up start a snowball fight with everyone else?

Snowball fight but somehow the snowballs are on fire.

This is also probably another tradition of the guild that was made by Gray and Natsu accidentally. On the first of December it is all out war as the guild splits up into two teams and just hammers each other with snow

Are they more of a hot chocolate or tea drinker?

Natsu would prefer hot chocolate. Though, this boy practically puts anything down his throat, I imagine he has quite a sweet tooth and tea is just too stale for him.

They find themselves under the mistletoe with their crush, what will they do? If they don‘t have a crush what will they do if they stand under the mistletoe with the person they hate the most?

Natsu would be so confused about mistletoe. His first encounter with it was with himself and Gray. Mira (in her younger days) had thought it would be funny to play a prank on the two idiots so she set it up (much to Erza’s disapproval and Lisanna’s disappointment). However, when they’re told they have to kiss each other it leads to a full on fight and they are at each other’s throats in seconds. However, due to an unfortunate tumble and maybe a bit of Christmas mischief, the due end up locking lips as Natsu falls ontop of Gray.

They never get to live it down

His second encounter with missletoe is with Lucy. They’re older and on the way back to her house when they step out the guild. They’re talking, both with grins from ear to ear, when the slam of the guild doors shakes snow onto their heads. They both look up and both their faces immediately turn red (more so Natsu’s ears.) Immediately Lucy is stuttering and looking everywhere at him as she doesn’t know what to do because she’s never kissed anyone before. Though, Natsu can see her embarrassment so he immediately offers her a wide grin before he starts telling her about the first time he stood under the missletoe with Gray. She would laugh till she’s only spilling little giggles, her nerves dying down as her blush turns into a light dusting of pink, and he would use this moment to peck her on the cheek. His face immediately turning from hers as he walks away saying something along the lines of even that being a lot better than kissing Gray. Lucy is very much stunned at first. She holds her cheek as her blush comes back but she’s not angry, and as he turns back to her asking her if she’s coming along, she can only smile at him before she’s hurrying to catch up.

Are they the type of person that can listen to last christmas on loop for eternity and still love it or break a window if they hear it being played within a five miles radius from them?

Natsu would love Christmas music because it reminds him of the time with his family. Though, he would never be around someone who plays it to death until Lucy joins the guild. As soon as December hits she is playing Christmas music on repeat in her apartment. The noise bother him a little bit, but seeing Lucy dance and sing around her apartment is very much worth it so he always enjoys the holiday music

Do they prefer candy canes or sugar cookies?

Does he even know the diffrence? Natsu devours everything so fast I’m pretty sure he doesn’t even know the different taste between the two.

Would they wear an ugly christmas sweater?

Yes. Natsu wouldn’t see the problem with it and it’s 100% a gift from Erza to the whole team, but he’s the only one willing to wear it

Weird Asks that Say a Lot  Meme...

My friend the wonderful @meanwhileonwednesday suggested I fill out Every even number for the 'weird asks that say a lot', so here I am. Thanks, friend! XD

2. chocolate bars or lollipops?

Chocolates.

4. how did your elementary school teachers describe you?

At my first school? Artistically talented and perceptive (one teacher was very vividly impressed by my grasp of duck anatomy at like 5 years old). Then there’s the teacher at my new school who thought I had special needs because I was withdrawn (I was being bullied by most of the class, really); she was a new teacher and not really equipped to deal with that. By the end of primary school, I went back to being commended on my work ethic and smarts and artistic ability.

6. pastel, boho, tomboy, preppy, goth, grunge, formal or sportswear?

Hmmm I think my work clothes are mostly a formal/preppy mix. With a little bit of boho thrown in, particularly when I’m at home.

8. movies or tv shows?

I prefer movies, because they represent a lot less commitment (America, please stop giving everything like 17 seasons, I beg of you!), however TV show episodes are shorter and easier to slot into your life than a full movie.

10. game you were best at in p.e.?

I was generally awful in PE. I liked benchball, can’t say that I was good in it, being yet another game where being short doesn’t do you any favours.

12. name of your favorite playlist?

Either my Kickass playlist, or my Reflective playlist.

14. favorite non-chocolate candy?

Starburst.

16. most comfortable position to sit in?

Curled up, on my side, in a nice big armchair with my legs hanging off the side. Surrounded by pillows, and probably a cat or two.

18. ideal weather?

Picture this: it’s a sunny day; warm but not too hot. Maybe around 24 degrees celsius. There’s a warm breeze; it’s not stifling, and it’s not cold enough to make you shiver. The trees rustle with the sound of the wind; change is in the air. You can go out in short sleeves, perhaps with the thinnest of cardigans if like me your metabolism basically died 300 years ago.

20. preferred place to write (i.e., in a note book, on your laptop, sketchpad, post-it notes, etc.)?

Depends on what I’m writing. I am the kind of ineffectual person who starts to write tings in a notebook, but also a couple of word docs. I have post- it notes for important things. I document ideas for my comic in a note/sketch book. I love doodling in my sketchbooks.

22. role model?

I never really had one, growing up. I guess the closest I’d get is David Attenborough.

24. favorite crystal?

My birthstone is ruby (which is red; my favourite colour!) however I also love opals; I love their irdescent (OK, opalescent, technically) sparkliness and the way they shimmer with lots of colours. I don’t see why everyone prefers massive diamonds when opals are like... so much cooler. I I don’t actually own any, but maybe one day I’ll be able to buy myself a nice one.

26. favorite activity to do in warm weather?

Go for a nice long walk, take lots of pictures, have a picnic in the park. No, I lie, my favourite activity is roping someone I care about into doing it all with me, and having even more fun. 

28. five songs to describe you?

Home - Ellie Goulding Fight Song - Rachel Platten Working Woman’s Blues - Valerie June Alive - Bird Set Free My Medea - Vienna Teng

30. places that you find sacred?

Already been answered.

32. top five favorite vines?

Alas, hard to name off the top of my head. I mainly know vines from various compilations.

34. advertisements you have stuck in your head?

Right now? Thankfully none of them.

36. what is the first meme you remember ever seeing?

That’s impossible to say! Memes were a thing before internet memes became a thing. I’d say that ‘S’ shape we all drew in primary school? Nursery rhymes? Who knows.

38. lemonade or tea?

They don’t usually compete for my love, but i have tea more often than lemonade, purely due to availability reasons.

40. weirdest thing to ever happen at your school?

Some students climbed onto the roof.

42. jacket pockets or pants pockets?

Honestly? Skirt pockets. But being a woman, jacket pockets are usually woefully ineffectual and small. Trouser pockets are a bit better, but again usually small. Whereas if someone puts pockets on a skirt, they make sure they are actually proper pockets!

44. favorite scent for soap?

Maybe honey, or roses, or jasmine.

46. most comfortable outfit to sleep in?

A baggy pair of PJs; I’m a dress for comfort kind of girl. Particularly since the places I’ve lived haven’t always been great in the heating department. I’ve been known to sleep in a hoodie when it gets cold.

48. if you were a fruit, what kind would you be?

I would like to be a berry, or maybe an apple. Something pinkish red. Sweet, and a little sharp.

50. what made you laugh the hardest you ever have?

Probably my little brother astounding me with how grown-up he is about things. He’s pretty awesome. Or my mum just saying something wildly, hilariously inappropriate XD

52. favorite font?

I love the Komika font family for my comic. I used to use Bookman Old Style, Book Antiqa, Georgia or classic Arial for essays and things like that, when they didn’t specify Times New Roman.

54. what did you learn from your first job?

Always call the med reg if you are stuck, be nice to the nurses and always help each other. OK, I did lots of volunteering in hospital before FY1. In which case my

56. favorite tradition?

My family/culture have a specific tradition on the morning of an exam/interview/life event where you fill a cup with water and a couple of plant leaves (Slavs love putting greenery into everything). You place it at the threshold,  and give it a good kick it with your dominant foot. It symbolises your knowledge flowing, and I guess it’s a good luck charm.. You also aren’t meant to look back (literally); because you should be focusing on the task at hand. As a kid it was a comforting good luck ritual, and I don’t think I ever really grew out of it.

58. four talents you’re proud of having?

I’m proud of my artistic skills, modest though they are. I enjoy creating, and I enjoy that I can make things to cheer up my friends, or things that people here can relate to.

By extension, I’m good with my hands, and that usually translates to picking up procedures and things like that pretty quickly at work. And yes, I love being able to get that cannula in (especially if it’s on the first go!)  when nobody else can. It’s a tiny, tiny thing, but it sparks a little joy. I can develop good rapports with people; which means I can help them to confide their problems, and can help them to feel better or to address things that are bothering them. It’s really mostly about listening and not being judgemental. I am proud that I can sometimes make people feel better, and feel listened to. I’m proud that I learned to try to work through my feelings. As a young person who was really quite stressed, I somehow learned how to apply what’s basically CBT to keep myself relatively sane, and I think it’s helped me a lot. It was only much later that I realised it was basically CBT when I was comparing notes with friends actually going through those kinds of therapies. I’m not perfect at it, and my mind tests me on a regular basis, but it helps.

60. if you were a character in an anime, what kind of anime would you want it to be?

I don’t know what I’d like to be in? Maybe a Ghibli film. I think I’d like that.  When I was at school, a close friend of mine just turned around and said “OMG, you’re just like an anime character”, to fervent agreement from my peers. I guess they meant one of those chirpy, ditzy shojo anime characters. I can still see myself as some shojo series heroine; frantically trying to keep it together under the pressures of magical girldom, being romantically inept, trying to fight off the baddie of the week whilst learning lessons about getting along with each other, being helpful and not being mean.

62. seven characters you relate to?

Right now? Sophie from Howl’s moving castle, Princess Carolyn from Bojack Horseman, Miranda Otto from D. Gray-Man, Elinor Dashwood from Sense and Sensibility, The Red Blood Cell from Cells at Work, Kiki from Kiki’s delivery service, and Aggressive Retsuko.

64. favorite website from your childhood?

I used to love looking at other people’s art on Elfwood or Deviantart.

66. favorite flower(s)?

Today I’m feeling the answer is lilacs.

68. worst flavor of any food or drink you’ve ever tried?

Ugh anything bitter.

70. left or right handed?

I’m ridiculously right handed, but I’ve learned to use my left hand more effectively because of procedures etc. I’m really good with my hands, but my right hand takes over like 80% of the work.

72. worst subject?

PE in school, biochemistry at university.

74. at what pain level out of ten (1 through 10) do you have to be at before you take an advil or ibuprofen?

At home, maybe a 3, because I don’t see the point in suffering needlessly. However at work I’ll do whatever it takes to keep functional including taking pain relief before it gets bad because I don’t want to have to deal with pain and an on-call. I’m not sure if the scale is logarithmic? I’d rate the worst pain that I’ve had 5 ot a 6, and that made me vomit and curl up into a ball and basically unable to do anything. But I can imagine pain that’s much, much worse than that was, so perhaps I just can’t thin

76. what’s your favorite potato food (i.e. tater tots, baked potatoes, fries, chips, etc.)?

This kind of new potato salad my mum makes with onions. Raw onions are totally a trigger food for my IBS, and any time my mum feeds me anything full of onions, she’ll tell me I can take them out if they upset my tummy. And every single time I’ll pile even more onions into my plate because there’s no way I’m letting my gut dictate my life. Turns out, I’m even more stubborn than my IBS; I just don’t want to give up some of the foods that set things off. My GP once recommended a FODMAP diet, and having had a look at all the stuff I’d have to cut, I resolved I’d only start cutting things if my symptoms got really bad.

78. coffee from a gas station or sushi from a grocery store?

Honestly, I have no pretentions to snobbery. The best coffee is the one you get when you are about to collapse on a night shift, even if much, much better coffee exists in the world. And the best sushi is the plain supermarket one you get between on-calls to treat yourself, even if the one from a good restaurat is so much nicer.

80. earth tones or jewel tones?

I wear a lot of jewel tones, but I also wear a lot of earth tones, and I don’t really see them as being in competition. Rock all the colours!

82. pc or console?

Phone. XD I don’t play much on either, mainly due to time. Phone has the benefit of being in my pocket when I’m at a loose end on the bus, or at my parents’. I don’t sit down and make time to play, I play games in the stolen minutes here and there when I don’t have much to do.

84. podcasts or talk radio?

Classical music radio in the office (because it’s the most neutral), retro stations in the car (or whatever your guests would like), and podcasts at home when you are by yourself.

84. barbie or polly pocket?

I didn’t have a real Barbie (fairly sure ours were knockoff dolls) but I do have fond memories of making outfits for our toys. Though our favourites were always various little animal models who got into all sorts of adventures.

86. cookies or cupcakes?

Cookies, but it’s a close call. Really, I’d have to say biscuits, since I eat those more often than either of the above.

88. your greatest wish?

For myself? To be happy. For others? Ditto. 

90. luckiest mistake?

Getting into my first degree. Feels like I fell into it, but it set me off on a great path, and I don’t regret that my initial path was far from straightforward.

92. lamps, overhead lights, sunlight or fairy lights?

All of the above.

94. favorite season?

That kind of Spring-Summer interface when all the plants are in bloom, and the weather is warm but not too hot, and the days are long.

96. desktop background?

Arietty’s bedroom from the Ghibli Borrowers film adaptation. I’m a sucker for ghibli aesthetic; usually because my rooms end up similarly haphazardly adorned with cool things. 

98. favorite historical era?

Every era has its own awesomeness. I feel very fondly for the regency period because of all the books I’ve read set in it, likewise the Victorian period. Though both aren’t without their problems. I realised that I style my hair like a Victorian; centrally parted with a neat, low bun at the nape of the neck. XD

I think that might be all the questions! Phew!
