I am allergic to peanuts - not devastatingly, thank goodness, but it's mildly annoying given that Thai food is some of my favorite and so much of it has peanuts or peanut sauce in it sob

I. Love. Cars. Motors. All things fast. I've never NOT owned a manual transmission, I've been going to car shows my whole life, and I've worked with my dad on restoring a couple of older ones (a 1948 Chevy Pickup and a 1968 Ford Mustang) My current baby is a 2018 Ford Focus RS, he's screaming fast and a blast to drive - 350 HP and will do 0-60 in 4.7 seconds. Obligatory picture of my boo when I bought him because his blue is so pretty:

What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?

I'm constantly embarrassed by the things I write which is why I orphan and delete so energetically. I think of the fic that's still findable on my ao3, my Ghostbusters fic is one of my absolute worst efforts.

What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

I managed to work in non-binary Blood and Cheese into this fic I wrote for @keefechambers's birthday and tbh it gave me a good chortle:

“Hello,” Harwin says pleasantly. “I’m Harwin.”

One of the bee farmers scoffs. 

“I’m Blood, and this is Cheese,” says the other farmer. “Our pronouns are they/them.” 

“Yes, sorry,” Harwin says quickly, “my pronouns are he/him.” 

Aegon barks. 

“Aegon, sit!” Harwin flashes what he hopes is a winning smile. “So…Cheese, eh? Too bad you didn’t go into the dairy business, right? Hahaha.”

Cheese does not laugh. “That’s incredibly offensive, actually.”

“Right, of course it is,” Harwin agrees hastily.

“Typical cisgender male,” Blood mutters under their breath.

Harwin is at a loss.

“Do you have bees with you now?” Helaena asks, stepping up to the table. 

“I don’t think so, sweetie,” Harwin tries to say, but Cheese glares at him.

“Of course we have bees with us,” they say, as though Harwin is a huge idiot for thinking they would go anywhere without their bees.

random writer questions: 19 and 12!!!!

12: What is one character you love but rarely/never write? 

i looooove coran so much. i don't write him nearly as much as i would like to but tbh. to be perfectly honest. i am considering giving him a little oneshot for quintenary stars...........

19: What is one story idea you have in your head right now?

currently thinknig about the werewolf au in my brain. in which team voltron are all werewolves and zarkon is an evil werewolf who is trying to kill all the others so he's the only one. and adam is a werewolf hunter who is tracking shiro all over the world. bc something about me is that i am sooo so so so ill over adashi always and forever. anyway adam was raised to hate/fear werewolves and not even see them as human but when he gets bitten by one and turned, he suddenly has to face reality. and all his old hunter friends/family turn on him because he's The Enemy now so he goes to the one place he can: to the very person he's spent the last ten years hunting. but anyway team voltron are a wolf pack and they have to try and survive against zarkon and all the hunters and etc etc etc.

Damn bro, I realized I have absolutely no information about your OCs, guess we have to change that riiiiiiight????

NOOOO MY TAB REFRESHED AND I LOST LIKE FIVE PARAGRAPHS NOOOO okay hi hello thank you for asking this i love you. okay. CONDENSED VERSION. name age species any other relevant details.

jake, 21-22, human man. transgender and jewish in fantasy 17th century england (i went into a LOT of detail about this in the first version but just trust me i know what i'm doing with the setting it's thematically relevant). he WANTS to be reunited with his dead lover (aoife) but he NEEDS to find a home where he feels at ease after losing his previous one. lot of neuroses.

erin, 20 (she's 20 in fae years so she's 20 but also 2000), faerie and like sort of a woman insofar as fae have genders. she's cruel, bitter and vindictive and very very insecure. she WANTS to get revenge on the winter queen for exiling her but she NEEDS to make an active effort to be a better person and not just keep hurting people because she thinks it's easier.

oscar, 17-18, werewolf and like kind of a man? jury's out on that one. he's gay and autistic and also really insecure like he really doesn't like anything about himself. he WANTS to be normal but he NEEDS to be surrounded by people who love him for who he is so that he stops seeing himself as a monster.

romaine, 17-18, nonbinary gay man, necromancer. they died 200 years ago and came back to life and the only person still alive that they knew from back then is erin. they WANT to have a home that resembles the one they lost but they NEED to have the space to explore the new world and keep the parts they like without being made to feel like they can't fit.

aoife, 18 (IN FAE YEARS AGAIN she's 1850 but like. she's 18. she met jake when he was 17). transgender woman and like very strongly a woman despite fae not really having genders. was the heir to a dukedom in the autumn court before semi-unsuccessfully leaving and now her father is searching for her. she WANTS freedom but she NEEDS to learn how to coexist with people and not subconsciously see them as beneath her and/or exotify them.

rachel, 22, human woman. jake's identical twin. is kind of going through it right now re: personal growth and trauma. killed her dad. she wants to go back home but she needs to have people that value her for who she is and not be seen as the spare.

David: One of Job's sons is played by a very promising young actor called Ty Tennant. He's got a great future ahead of him, I hope, because I'm hoping he'll pay for my old folks home when I retire. This is my father-in-law, Peter.

Peter: Hello.

David: And this is my son, Ty. And Peter is playing Ty's father in this particular scene.

1, 7, 10, 13, and 17 🤭

* character building questions | always accepting

1. what’s the lie your character says most often?

probably 'i'm fine' DFJKGHDFHG. rey is definitely a 'put on a brave face' type, especially if people close to her are also going through it and she needs to focus on them. she'll brush off concern and pretend like nothing's wrong for as long as she possibly can. the more anyone else presses, the more she doubles down on it, insisting there's nothing wrong. then at the same time she gets upset no one knows or acknowledges she's struggling but can't say anything about it because she made her own bed. so she just winds up lonely and sulking and the cycle repeats!

7. what would you (mun) yell in the middle of a crowd to find them? what would their best friend and/or romantic partner yell?

anything about free stuff would get her to run right over tbh a best friend would definitely be like 'wow someone left a pile of astromech parts just laying around here?' and she would pop up instantly to rummage through them. for a romantic partner it's even easier because she is so defensive and protective, so they'd just have to say something negative about themselves and she would be like who would dare --

10. what fact do they excitedly tell everyone about at every opportunity?

that the millennium falcon crashed while it was still on the assembly line. idk how she came to know that little tidbit -- maybe it was a story shared by luke or leia, passed down from han in a rare, happy moment of downtime that no one even believes is true -- but rey tells everyone she comes across about how the fueling droid assembling the ship overcharged the chassis and made it jump off the line, so that everyone in the facility thought the ship was alive. she just loves that ship and all its little quirks so much. and when she tells stories about it or people ask questions she feels closer to han in sharing them, so she takes any chance she can get.

13. when do they fake a smile? how often?

i think in group settings rey often feels like she sets the tone for the whole squad, especially since she's had leadership thrust upon her. so it feels like it's up to her to be positive, optimistic and upbeat even if things look grim. like she could know they're about to do something dangerous and she'll be like, this is going to be great! and i think it also comes up often when she has to be happy for other people LMAO like not that she's not, but i think it's hard to see others with familial/romantic relationships and not think about the ways she's lacking and how lonely she really is. so of course she is happy for her friends, but the smile is still a little forced.

17. what do they notice first in the mirror versus what most people first notice looking at them?

her eyes always go instinctively to the small scar on her cheek. she never much cared about the aesthetic of it until people started to ask questions and she realized it was noticeable, and of course it looks bigger to her than it does to anyone else (it's tiny in actuality). i think when she's not being hard on herself she can acknowledge she has a nice smile, which is probably what other people notice most often, alongside her eyes and the freckles across her nose.

so one of the things that's so horrifying about birth control is that you have to, like, navigate this incredibly personal choice about your body and yet also face the epitome of misogyny. like, someone in the comments will say it wasn't that bad for me, and you'll be utterly silenced. like, everyone treats birth control like something that's super dirty. like, you have no fucking information or control over this thing because certain powerful people find it icky.

first it was the oral contraceptives. you went on those young, mostly for reasons unrelated to birth control - even your dermatologist suggested them to control your acne. the list of side effects was longer than your arm, and you just stared at it, horrified.

it made you so mentally ill, but you just heard that this was adulthood. that, yes, there are of course side effects, what did you expect. one day you looked up yasmin makes me depressed because surely this was far too intense, and you discovered that over 12,000 lawsuits had been successfully filed against the brand. it remains commonly prescribed on the open market. you switched brands a few times before oral contraceptives stopped being in any way effective. your doctor just, like, shrugged and said you could try a different brand again.

and the thing is that you're a feminist. you know from your own experience that birth control can be lifesaving, and that even when used for birth control - it is necessary healthcare. you have seen it save so many people from such bad situations, yourself included. it is critical that any person has access to birth control, and you would never suggest that we just get rid of all of it.

you were a little skeeved out by the implant (heard too many bad stories about it) and figured - okay, iud. it was some of the worst pain you've ever fucking experienced, and you did it with a small number of tylenol in your system (3), like you were getting your bikini line waxed instead of something practically sewn into your body.

and what's wild is that because sometimes it isn't a painful insertion process, it is vanishingly rare to find a doctor that will actually numb the area. while your doctor was talking to you about which brand to choose, you were thinking about the other ways you've been injured in your life. you thought about how you had a suspicious mole frozen off - something so small and easy - and how they'd numbed a huge area. you thought about when you broke your wrist and didn't actually notice, because you'd thought it was a sprain.

your understanding of pain is that how the human body responds to injury doesn't always relate to the actual pain tolerance of the person - it's more about how lucky that person is physically. maybe they broke it in a perfect way. maybe they happened to get hurt in a place without a lot of nerve endings. some people can handle a broken femur but crumble under a sore tooth. there's no true way to predict how "much" something actually hurts.

in no other situation would it be appropriate for doctors to ignore pain. just because someone can break their wrist and not feel it doesn't mean no one should receive pain meds for a broken wrist. it just means that particular person was lucky about it. it should not define treatment.

in the comments of videos about IUDs, literally thousands of people report agony. blinding, nauseating, soul-crushing agony. they say things like i had 2 kids and this was the worst thing i ever experienced or i literally have a tattoo on my ribs and it felt like a tickle. this thing almost killed me or would rather run into traffic than ever feel that again.

so it's either true that every single person who reports severe pain is exaggerating. or it's true that it's far more likely you will experience pain, rather than "just a pinch." and yet - there's nothing fucking been done about it. it kind of feels like a shrug is layered on top of everything - since technically it's elective, isn't it kind of your fault for agreeing to select it? stop being fearmongering. stop being defensive.

you fucking needed yours. you are almost weirdly protective of it. yours was so important for your physical and mental health. it helped you off hormonal birth control and even started helping some of your symptoms. it still fucking hurt for no fucking reason.

once while recovering from surgery, they offered you like 15 days of vicodin. you only took 2 of them. you've been offered oxy for tonsillitis. you turned down opioids while recovering from your wisdom tooth extraction. everything else has the option. you fucking drove yourself home after it, shocked and quietly weeping, feeling like something very bad had just happened. the nurse that held your hand during the experience looked down at you, tears in her eyes, and said - i know. this is cruelty in action.

and it's fucked up because the conversation is never just "hey, so the way we are doing this is fucking barbaric and doctors should be required to offer serious pain meds" - it's usually something around the lines of "well, it didn't kill you, did it?"

you just found out that removing that little bitch will hurt just as bad. a little pinch like how oral contraceptives have "some" serious symptoms. like your life and pain are expendable or not really important. like maybe we are all hysterical about it?

hysteria comes from the latin word for uterus, which is great!

you stand here at a crossroads. like - this thing is so important. did they really have to make it so fucking dangerous. and why is it that if you make a complaint, you're told - i didn't even want you to have this in the first place. we're told be careful what you wish for. we're told that it's our fault for wanting something so illict; we could simply choose not to need medication. that maybe if we don't like the scraps, we should get ready to starve.

we have been saying for so long - "i'm not asking you to remove the option, i'm asking you to reconsider the risk." this entire time we hear: well, this is what you wanted, isn't it?

The season's second episode features appearances from both David's son Ty and his father-in-law Peter Davison, with the latter play biblical figure Job and the former playing his son Ennon.

However, David has revealed that he didn't find out about Ty's casting until after the fact, when he was shooting on the new season.

Speaking with Variety, David said: "I don't know how that happened. I do a bunch of self-tapes with Ty, but I don't think I did this one with him because I was out of town filming Good Omens. He certainly wasn't cast before we started shooting. There were two moments during filming where Neil [Gaiman] bowled up to me and said, 'Guess, who we've cast?'"

David continued: "Ty definitely auditioned and, as I understand it, they would tell me, he was the best. I certainly imagine he could only possibly have been the best person for the job. He is really good in it, so I don't doubt that's true.

"And then my father-in-law showed up, as well, which was another delicious treat. In the same episode and the same family! It was pretty weird. I have worked with both of them on other projects, but never altogether."
