Nothing beats putting on quiet music for the whole household and suddenly it's quiet time. Someone is taking a nap. Someone is tippy tapping on their computer. Someone is drawing. No words are spoken. It's Quiet Time

personally, I felt like Ghost Files was a bit overproduced, and by that I mean it felt like they spent more time and energy on making all the graphics and explaining the fancy tech they've been using than actually, y'know, exploring haunted places*1. A part of the reason why I liked bfu so much and why I felt it stood out from other TV ghost-hunting shows was that it felt like it came from "normal" people who were more interested in exploring haunted places than producing a TV show, and although I know it's always been Watcher's intention to make quote-unquote "TV-caliber videos", it just doesn't work personally with what bfu stood for*2. This also doesn't have anything to do with over-producing, but I feel like they have a few times gone into the same trap that the Try Guys often have by adding too many unnecessary rules and details to their concepts. Like I never understood why they had to hide that walkie-talkie from each other, why couldn't they just do a solo tour of the house without having to find the walkie-talkie? that's essentially what they did anyway. In that same vein, I don't understand why they've insisted on adding that whole "is it still a mystery or is it solved" segment on mystery files because it doesn't really change much to the overall concept of the show
*1 I think some of their shows thrive on being "over-produced", like puppet history for example, but I just don't think that is a vibe that works well for a show like Ghost Files
*2 I also feel it's fair to compare bfu and ghost files because those expectations and the audience from bfu is what they've been banking on
i can see where you're coming from but the spending most of their time and energy on graphics and tech for ghost files is smth i don't agree with. like the graphics are the same blueprint graphics clip they repeat in every other episode. and some of those graphics are hand drawn by another person. it's in every episode but it doesn't seem like they recreate these graphics for every episode (unless its a graphic of the location) to intensely focus their time and energy on. and more recent episodes of ghost files literally has like.. the majority of the video of them ghost hunting. usually like 45 minutes out of the hour they ghost hunt. compared to bfu they explained the lore of the location for a good 15-20 min while also interviewing people from the location out of the 45-50 min episode. so it's kinda similar, but i personally think they ghost hunt more on ghost files.
also they can't copy the same exact design/format of bfu unless they want to get sued by buzzfeed. i think that's just the reality. and they're the same normal dudes ghost hunting but with better production. their job is ghost hunting, of course they want to improve in something that's most of their job. and just bc they want to experiment with some trippy tech doesn't necessarily make them overproduced imo. they just want to explore options which isn't a bad thing, and it's something buzzfeed never allowed them to do so of course they wanna go that route.
and tbh bfu was tv-caliber content imo. lesser quality compared to ghost files, yea, but it was def something worthy of being on tv (like it was put on hulu). the lesser quality has everything to do with buzzfeed not allowing them a bigger budget, restricting their creativity, overworking their crew, and laying off their staff (which ryan and shane complained about all the time back then) versus bfu standing for something less than tv caliber. but again, i really think this just comes down to taste rather than overproduced vs not overproduced. if you prefer bfu, that's totally fine!! if you prefer ghost files, that's also totally fine. i love gf but i get why people are nostalgic for bfu since thats the series we started out with. but some people (not you anon) outright hating on gf so suddenly is ridiculous when those same people were clamoring for gf live tickets and ask that they go international.
and to your second point- while i like those concepts they add in the show, it's okay if you don't! no big deal, everyone has their own interests. and i think the whole 'is it a mystery or is it solved' is more about the videos needing to have a 'motivation' or 'theme'. and i dont get what you mean by 'adding' this concept when it quite literally is the gist of the entire show from the show's conception/beginning.
anyways, all this to say, i get where you're coming from. but people suddenly thinking this is overproduced is kind of wild in my opinion

19 Secrets about Aries
Please ... this type of post is done with my own knowledge, please don't take everything too serious
This series is made to show love to our sun signs, for me no matter how many details you look for about astrology, the person knowing how their sun sign works is already the best thing, it is our greatest light and we need to know it better than anything else.
The secret list is made by this person, the description is mine.
◇☆★☆★☆★☆◆◇☆★☆★☆★☆◆◇☆★☆★☆★☆◆◇☆★☆★☆★☆◆
🔥 Born to lead - They do this not out of ego, but out of their natural gift. They lead people on a common path and easily take the leadership role when they see that no one is playing that role.
🔥 Calm in danger – Want to finally see a calm Aries? Put they in a situation of stress and danger. At those times they put their attention and intelligence to work and don't just stay in action. Ruled by Mars, war is their true field and not the same thing as everyday life.
🔥 Refined sense of humor – They raise the energy of the place and for that they do it through jokes too. Their sense of humor can also be different, accepting jokes with your appearance and manner when they are made by people closest to them.
🔥 They have a unique style – They like to show themselves through their appearance, so they also look for something in which they can stand out. Like to use a more hardcore cut there is always to use a piece of dark green tone, it doesn't matter, it needs to be recognized by a brand of its own.
🔥 Rebels by nature – Don't try to tell Aries what to do as they will find an argument to do it their own way. If you're not Aries and you're reading this, learn to “eat around the edges” speak indirectly and softly so they'll change their minds, because if you're going to face head-on you're lost.
🔥 Honest extreme - Something they hate is a lie and that's why they always seek to kill the evil from it's root, speak the truth soon instead of getting bored with what you need, this is one of their mottos.
🔥 Loyal – You've probably heard that the fire and air signs aren't loyal at all, but it's more of a lie. Aries want to have burning bonds with their loved ones and try to be always present in their lives, when something bad happens they try to fix it, when it's over, it's over.
🔥 Opinionated – They strive to be heard in situations they witness, not being themselves when they let something happen in front of them without a finger of their action.
🔥 They can be sweet, just like a nightmare - They tend to be very sweet and polite, but change moods very quickly when they feel hurt.
🔥 Competitive – Unsurprisingly they are competitive, but it needs to be remembered as well. Aries can change where they are, even if it's something comfortable, if it doesn't mess with their competitive spirit, they change places.
🔥 Sensitive heart - They are very emotional when it comes to the heart and that's why they are sensitive in their relationships, they go all out when it comes to having an intimate bond with people. That's why when they break up they don't get involved again for a while.
🔥 Not liking to wait – Okay... Was that a secret for anyone? Now games aside. They don't expect no, especially if the reason for the delay has NO explanation at all. More than 15 min and they're gone.
🔥 They do a lot of activities – If the whole world had complementary activities in schools, then I could say that all Aries do it. But as there isn't... I just stay in, if they could, they would. A bit like Gemini, Aries like having more than one thing to do in their routine and living just going home and going to work is the terror.
🔥 They don't like routine – Already in line with the above, they don't like routine at all. Neither in life nor in love, they need something new and something to do. From time to time, let your Aries friend take a tour itinerary.
🔥 Don't Disguise Feelings - Just as they don't like lies... They don't lie about anything either, not even feelings. If they don't like it, they don't like it, period. They even manage to disguise their face, but if they get close, they'll take away the good guy's facade right away.
🔥 Learn Fast - Being hot and being dumb is not synonymous, in reality, Aries rules the head and therefore their minds also do not stop like any other air sign, but they use it for assimilation of information. Usually, they are those who have a very well-defined type of intelligence, as they feel an affinity with it, such as mathematical or motor intelligence.
🔥 They have a distorted view of themselves – Mainly about their body and appearance, sometimes it's for more, sometimes for less. The appearance of an Aries is very important to him, but even so, they can't see what they really are.
🔥 Keep secrets well – When they like someone and that person confided something to them, they won't be talking around, for them truth and trust is something essential and that's why they won't be talking about the lives of others if it was agreed to do so. Furthermore, they are the kind of people who carry with them “there are some things that no one needs to know about”.
🔥 Have difficulty opening up – Mainly in the love and intimate field, this goes against the popular belief that in this branch Aryans are more relaxed, but in fact they only let go when they feel confident.

[17:26, Tastemaker Trainees Dorm]
- Starring: Baek Vitaliy, Min Ho-seok, Youn Woo-cheol, Kim "Hakim" Kyeongha, Manager Lee Jun-hyung - Synopsis: A trainee receives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. - Year: 2021 - Length: 793 wds.
Today's the day, Vitaliy thought as he sipped on a lukewarm mug of green tea. He could hear his training mates in the living room arguing about something frivolous while he sat in the kitchen trying to quell the butterflies in his stomach. I just hope this wasn't for nothing...
Finally, the group cellphone, which had been entrusted to him, started going off. His heart skipped a beat upon checking the caller ID and seeing it was indeed their manager. It's go time. High on a brief hit of euphoria, Vitaliy ran into the living room with a little more speed than necessary.
At last, an opportunity had come for him and his friends. A chance to get the hell out of the Tastemaker Dungeon and into the public eye in the form of a survival show. Four of them had auditioned and showed their...diverse talents. He worked so hard to get everyone ready and all he could do now is hope that in the end it was all worth it.
"Alright, guys," he said, climbing over Hoseok to take a seat on the sofa between him and Hakim, "Everyone ready?"
"Yep," Hakim said with the same amount of enthusiasm. "Mm-hmm," Hoseok nodded cheerfully. Vitaliy shot a look at Woocheol, who was huddled on an adjacent living chair. He looked up from his phone to give a wink and thumbs up.
"Let's pray," Hakim remarked. Hoseok loudly clasped his hands together and bowed his head. "Not literally, weirdo," Hakim snickered as he smacked his hyung's arm.
Vitaliy took a deep breath and accepted the call.
"Manager-nim," Vitaliy called out as he put the call on speakerphone and laid it on the coffee table in front of them. "Taliy-ah," Junhyung replied, "Sorry I couldn't be there in person. Is everyone there?"
"Yes," Vitality replied eagerly, almost cutting his sunbae off, "Do you have the results?" There was a bit of staticky silence, which worried Vitaliy. Finally he and the others could hear what Junhyung was saying: "Yes, but first there's some things to discuss." Vitaliy, Hoseok, and Hakim all leaned in. "First, I'm sorry to say that your possible debut date has been pushed back indefinitely."
The trainees had seen it coming, so they weren't too upset. Hakim sighed, "Well...did the CEO say why?" More static. "No," Junhyung finally replied flatly, "But I assume it has something to do with that new survival show the company's planning. I'm sorry, guys."
The call continued with the topics of training hours, curfews, diets, fitness requirements, and harsher punishments for violating rules in response to the Lovemonth incident. "Oh! I almost forgot," Junhyung interjected his own runaway train of thought, "About that other show."
The three eager trainees who had sunk in their seats after an eon-long lecture that could've been an email perked up once more. "It turns out that one of you did enough to impress the judges."
"So it was me," Hakim confidently proclaimed, "I think we all know that by now. I mean...not to toot my own horn or nothin', but I did a great job, so...beep beep motherfuckers!"
"It was not you, Hakim," Junhyung stated flatly. "Oh," Hakim replied in a flustered tone, "Well...I mean, that's probably for the best. 14-15 hours days? Always being on camera? And no phone? Sheeeeit, y'all woulda had the wrong one."
"It's okay to be disappointed," Hoseok said softly as he attempted to put an arm around Hakim, who swatted his hyung's hand away with a "boy, if you don't git--"
"Congratulations, _____," Junhyung said through static. The three looked at each other in confusion; "I think he said Hoseok," Vitaliy said hesitantly. They eventually rejoiced as Hoseok turned bright red. "Wow, I...didn't think they'd actually pick me," he said through a goofy smirk as the training mates on opposite sides of him showered him in congratulations and back pats.
"Wait," Junhyung interrupted, "No, not Hoseok. I said Woocheol."
The three looked at each other. "Sorry," Vitaliy inquired, begging Junhyung to repeat himself. "It's Woocheol," Junhyung clarified, "I repeat: Woocheol has been cast on X or Y?, not Hoseok. Congratulations, Woocheol."
Junhyung excused himself from the conversation and hung up as Vitaliy, Hoseok, and Hakim looked over at Woocheol. He was busy catching up on YouTube makeup tutorial videos, waiting for the call to end and for Hoseok to give him the abridged version of Junhyung's long-winded list of announcements as was their common routine. Woocheol sighed, "So...what bad news did he have for us this time?"
He looked up from his phone to see three very different shocked expressions on his training mates' faces: one of pleasant surprise, one of intense jealousy, and one of sheer, unbridled anxiety. "What?"

Catching Up: Dark!Ransom Drysdale x Reader
A/N: This is my first dark fic and it is my entry for  @stargazingfangirl18 & @navybrat817  ‘s August writing challenge. Hope you all like it. 
Prompts:    11. “We’re not done yet.” and  4. “Shhh, be good for me.” And Gif 3.
Word Count: 1.2K
Summary: Ransom rarely gets a hold of you and this time he isn’t letting go
Warning: Drugging/spiking a drink, implied non-con, ransom being his asshole self, 18+. I do not condone any such behaviour in real life. Your Media consumption is your own responsibility.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I really think I should get going, I have some errands to run." You said standing up from the Sofa Ransom forced you to sit in, in his living room.
You knew coming to give him some documents in the evening was a bad idea but your employer, Linda deemed it 'absolutely necessary' for Ransom to have the files.
"At 9 in the evening? Don't kid me now, I'm pretty sure all shopping centres are already closed due to the freezing temperature." Was Ransom's reply from the kitchen.
"A lot of retail shops are still open near my area, and I really don't want to be imposing." You said gathering your purse and looking for yours keys from the coffee table in front of you.
"Don't be so rude (Y/N), I poured you some wine to warm you up, plus I was pathetically alone right now streaming through Netflix. I'm pretty sure you would be significantly interesting than that." He said with a mischievous glint in his eyes, that shook your spine, raising goose bumps on your neck and blasting sirens in your head. He motions you to your sofa again while fetching two wine glasses in his hands.
You took the one with lower level of wine as you had to drive back home within 15 min, after entertaining Ransom's ass for some time until he got drunk enough to notice your absence.
Hopefully.
"Let me raise the temperature, it’s awfully cold." He said raising the thermostat to some temperature he found pleasant and then returned to his seat in front of you.
You took a small sip of your wine to calm your nerves as you looked at the man ahead of you. Ransom's presence had always irked you for as long as you could remember, and that too in the most unpleasant way imaginable.
His eyes, though the most beautiful ones you have ever encountered, seemed animalistic and predatory no matter who they looked at: Harlan, Joni, Marta; like he had something to claim from everyone, including you.
You had always been a simple girl, with no larger than life goals, just surviving and serving enough to please yourself and everyone. You took your work seriously, sometimes drank and never stepped out of a line you fixed for your own self. Call it boring, but you were sure you owed all your life's stability right now to these self imposed rules.
One of your rules, however, told you to avoid situations just like these, with insatiable spoilt boys that had unknown unappeasable endless desires.
And how stupid were you being, drinking alcohol as we speak.
Tumblr media
"So how come you have never had a conversation with me, even at any of my mother's parties?" Ransom interrogated though you think you heard some bitterness in his voice as if you've never paid attention to his God like presence.
"I didn't mean it purposely, I always had to look over and manage all the things at the parties, I have never had time to indulge in it myself. Besides I always did greet you and your family if i came across." You said in a calm tone, not to pick a fight but not to weaken your stance either.
“No worries now though, we will have plenty of time catch up soon.” He said, making you panicked and petrified as you almost did a double take.
“What did you mean by that?’ You asked not even bothering to hide your accusing tone this time.
“I was simply referring to the Christmas party due next week.” He replied after a while, but you did not believe him.
“What are you planning on your wearing?” He suddenly questioned, as if to redirect the conversation to another topic.
You let it go, feeling uncomfortable dwelling on his intent behind those scary nerve-wracking words any further. You didn’t know if you were reading too much into it, but it was better to be alert and alarmed than to be sorry and grieve later. Well, however alarmed your inebriated self could be.
Your thoughts distracted you making a little late to answer, such that you found Ransom picking up the discussion again.
“I hope you wear that wine dress you wore when i came across you at the bar downtown, or maybe the black dress you wore at the company’s last event. God that slit looked so sexy on your legs.”
Your eyes widened as your fuzzing mind slowly registered his words, and you were freaked out now, because he wasn’t even trying to censor his filthy thoughts anymore.
Filthy? You haven’t even heard filthy yet.
“Ransom, I don’t appreciate you talking about me like that. I think... I think I should go.”  You said, leaving the somewhat filled glass of wine on the table and moving to collect your things. This time, however, Ransom made no move to stop you.
Instead with an irritated scoff he replied, “You can’t blame a guy for checking out nice curves on girls. Even that blonde friend of yours was not so subtly looking at your rack. At least I have the decency to be honest.”
Decent was definitely not the word you would use for him. Not even among the first thousand words that might fall from your lips.
“As pleasant as our meeting was” A totally obvious lie, “I should get going.”
You said, totally ignoring his comment about your friend Niall, you made your way towards the door.
“(Y/N), Why don’t you stay a little longer?” 
You ignored his polite invitation and exited the door, taking deep breaths. Maybe it was the alcohol, or Ransom’s suffocating perversion, or maybe the single digits temperature surrounding you, you were feeling lightheaded and frenzied.
Just hang in there and get in the car. Rest we’ll figure out later.
You kept repeating the notion. Standing beside your car, you looked in the purse for your keys under the dim gleam of a streetlight nearby.
The black insides of your purse starting blurring just a bit and you tried to stay calm.
A grip on your arm startled you as you spun just a little to look at Ransom holding you, his blue eyes looking almost pitch black and sinister.
“Wh-What do you want? Let me go home.” You asked your eyes going wide, heart beating several miles a minute, blood pumping loudly through your veins as felt your legs shaking. Relieving yourself of his grip was not an option when you could barely stand on your own.
“Darling, We’re not done yet.” He said, his voice almost soothing you, lulling you to sleep.
“Please Ransom, just st..” You mumbled incoherently, your vision closing in on you as you embraced the deceiving arms of sleep.
“Shhh, be good for me and you’ll be okay. Now come on, the night is young and I have a lot to memorize about you.”
He cradled you and picked you up bridal style as your head lolled to the side resting on his shoulder. He picked your purse up from the ground as well and entered his house with a minacious smirk on his face, his pants already tightening around his crotch.
Guess you were going to catch up.

hello everyone! I got an ask from an anon asking for tips on time management so i decided to type this out before school starts heheh…
poor time management and procrastination, unfortunately, plague just about all of us lol. people with a short attention span (like me) and who are pretty much always on their phone (me again) and who hate scheduling are the most susceptible to these.
over the years i struggled with time management(studying the night before the exam 🤙🏼) but! these are some tips that have helped me in scheduling, avoiding procrastination and improving time management.
1. Write it down
as always, we’re starting with BEFORE the actual task. write all tasks, assignments, projects and homework, test dates down somewhere (notebook preferably so that you dont lose it. it doesn’t have to be your bujo and you do not have to start a bujo for this specific reason!!!) and write the deadlines. this is subconscious pressure to do work once you get home. also, since you can see everything, it’s easier to schedule it out later
2. Use travel time
i cannot stress this enough!!!! sorry that it appears in all my tips posts but it truly is very useful. for short commutes, review the content you’ve learnt so that when you start on your homework, you’ve already got the hang of it. ie you dont struggle to understand the chapter and be put off from finishing your work because you hate it. long commutes can be used to complete work itself. i like to place some books and a file under my worksheet while i write (if i have a seat lol) or you can take this time to plan your time in greater detail
3. Actually plan your time
you dont have to fancy it up with like, brush pens and highlighters. just do something on google sheets or excel. divide the day into appropriate blocks of time.
for me, since i use a focus timer (50+10 or 100+20, rare cases i do 120 with a long break after that) i keep my days in 1hr blocks. so i’d block in about 1hour after i reach home to chill, clean up and so on, 2hrs for homework and the remaining time can be divided by hour/2hours to complete my work. you can tweak the timings to work for you but so far this one suits me pretty well.
4. NEVER RUSH YOUR HOMEWORK AND REVISION WHEN PLANNING!!!!
i repeat, never rush. because when you give only, say, one hour to review 3 chapters and you fail to do so within that time limit, you feel demoralised and hence, will not want to work more. this is a very common issue i believe. sometimes i would rush revise and when i couldnt stick to the timelines, i’ll feel so defeated that i’ll probably binge watch youtube to cure my self-pity LOL
give yourself an ample amount of time. Assign one or two hours a day as ‘delay time’ (this was my free time) so that you can catch up on anything that unfortunately, you couldn’t finish. Assign one day of the week to be the ‘delay day’ -- anything that you cant finish the week before, do it now. this means that you can still ‘save’ your plan even if it screwed up somewhere along the way. it works wonders, believe me! i used to have ‘delay hours’ after training where i would (ahem sadly) study from 2330-0030 if i needed to. while i was tired, i always got my work done.
5. Prioritise
this one needs no explanation. i usually choose which task to start on based on a combination of deadline+importance+graded/non-graded. i start early for graded assignments because they count towards my semester’s final grade and i want to hand up the best quality work i can. find a system which works for you! note: start project work and large assignments early.
you can assign simple tasks first to start the ball rolling, and proceed with harder tasks.
alternatively, if you’re at your prime focus, start with the hardest and scale down to the simple.
6. Make good use of holidays + Wake up early
ok i used to game a LOT and go to training a LOT (still happens now lol) during holidays but i wouldnt get any of my holiday work done.
do your holiday homework first. schedule your time well, and maybe stay home and resist the urge to go out for the first 5 days. finish all your work (again, schedule well) with breaks in between.
thereafter, schedule maybe 3-5 hours a day to revise. if you’re going out with friends, i’d suggest you wake up early to study because once you come home you’re usually dead tired HAHA
so how early is early?? during my o levels study break i would wake up at 0330 (yes, for real) but i slept at 2130 every night. so thats 6 hours of sleep wew but AT LEAST i was very productive. think about it this way: waking up early to study at 0330 makes you more productive than studying till 0330. you don’t have to wake up THIS early, but preferably early enough when the sky’s still dark so that you can fit in those extra hours. DO NOT sacrifice sleep. that’s why you can see i’m still sleeping my usual amount, albeit sleeping and waking earlier.
more perks of waking up early: its quiet outside, the air is cool, your mind gets into the ‘get shit done’ mode, and if you absolutely have to use your phone to search something up, your social media probably won’t be pinging. in other words, early mornings are actually a great time to study! remember to eat something though :>
7. Remove all distractions to prevent possible procrastination
YES i know this is the dreaded one. lock your phone somewhere inconvenient and put the key outside your room. or if you don’t lock it make sure your phone is far away from you as possible. please i know how deadly your phone can get so just put it away.
if you find yourself drifting away and looking at something else, remove that.
alternatively, change up your study environment. you don’t have to go to the library or something (you can if you want to). this is as simple as studying in a different part of the house. a new environment helps to ‘prick’ my mind and help me ignore distractions. i dont know if this is scientifically proven but oh well, worth a try.
8. 2-minute rule
this is something i picked up from @studyquill! it’s pretty helpful (although i was skeptical at first). Tell yourself you’re only going to work for 2 minutes, which helps you get into the workflow. chances are you’ll get so into it (ok not in an excited but rather in a determined way) that you don’t feel like stopping.
if you’ve had a long day and after 2 mins you still don’t get any momentum, just stop and take a 15 min break. that means you’re really too tired and there’s no point in forcing yourself to complete your work.
9. Use reminders
set reminders on your phone for the tasks you need to do. for example, if you’ve planned to start work at 1500, set the reminder to ring 5 minutes before so you have time to gather all your stuff and ready yourself to do work. no excuses!!
set reminders for your breaks as well! those are equally important.
10. Reward yourself
if everything you need to do is done, give yourself a pat on the back. have you been extremely productive? great, treat yourself to your favourite drink/snack. honestly i feel like many of our brains function on the ‘reward’ system. if we reward ourselves for a job well done, we’ll be more willing to complete tasks and stay on time in the future (the brain thinks there’s a reward coming)
remember to take care of your mental health as well! this is one good way to ensure you don’t end up mentally exhausted.
Apps to help with time management
1. Tide - focus timer, meditation, beautiful and calming soundtracks (my fav!)
2. Pendo - everything in one tbh, schedule, to-do list, journal etc. (my fav too!)
3. Forest - focus timer $$$ (free alternative: flora)
4. Donut Dog - focus timer
5. Todoist - minimalist to-do list
6. Minimalist - minimalist to-do list
7. Google Calender - your entire schedule
8. Todait - smart study planner
a quick search will bring out many more! note these are all available on iOS but i’m not sure about google play. you don’t need everything to be productive. i rely only on Tide, Pendo and my iPhone calender and reminders. It’s less about having many ‘tools’ and more about how you properly and wisely utilise them to boost your productivity and manage your time.
also i don't think pendo is very well-known?? so this is how its interface looks like for 'Notes':
Tumblr media
it's pretty, simple and clean and there are several themes to choose from! i rly like it omg HAHA (not a promo)
alright that's all! hope it helped :>

For the ship meme, the FE3H ships I remember that you like are Edeleth, Dimimari and Hilclaude, correct? No need to do all the questions for all of them if you don't want!
Those are by no means the only ones I like there’s many good ones XD
See here for Edeleth. 
Dimimari: 
General:
Rate the Ship -  Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - Probably a year or so after the war, all slow n romantic n proper with loads of awkward blushing and are-you-really-sure’s

Wedding:
Who proposed? - Dimitri. 
Who is the best man/men? - Dedue. 
Who is the braid’s maid(s)? - Hilda
Who did the most planning? - Marianne. 
Who stressed the most? - Marianne but just barely. It’s a tough competition. 
How fancy was the ceremony? -Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big. They’re romantic sops but probably would NOT want to be ostentatious while there’s children starving and stuff. Any leftover food was handed out as charity
Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - Can’t think of anyone, neither is petty enough
Sex:
Who is on top? - Dimitri
Who is the one to instigate things? - Both about equally
How healthy is their sex life? -Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now
How kinky are they? -Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head
How long do they normally last? - 15 min?
Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - Dimitri probably considers it a matter of honor
How rough are they in bed? -Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.
How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? -No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Chores:
Who cleans the room? - Dimitri
Who is really against chores? - Neither but none is very good at it
Who cleans up after the pets? - Marianne
Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Marianne, out of desperation
Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Marianne

Misc:
Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Marianne
Who takes the dog out for a walk? - Marianne
How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - Semi-regularly, but they’d want it to be true to the real meaning of the holidays rather than commercial
What are their goals for the relationship? - Dimitri would probably give you a rant about how love isn’t about goals but about supporting each other commitedly

Edie: hmm Edie: both Edie: though the involvement of bars to keep me about is unnecessary really Liam: does hitchiking only work if you're a girl with killer eyes? asking for myself before we torch the car Edie: as you're toxically masculine, most people'd be afraid to stop for you alone but as we're together, you should be safe and not an axe murderer Edie: unless I'm pulling a Hindley Liam: when we go for that we'll think it through more Liam: 🐶 or 👶 on board Edie: I can borrow one Edie: 👶 more likely Edie: people don't like cats enough Liam: I'll get over a fence to grab us a dog Edie: in one step, like Liam: depending on the fence Edie: sure, don't wanna oversell it Liam: you don't want no online fake shit Edie: just telling you so you know Edie: not the same Liam: thanks for telling me Edie: yeah alright Edie: didn't lecture you did I Liam: nah you didn't Edie: there we go then Liam: [quotes some of her own lyrics at her that he likes because genuinely listening to these tracks] Liam: you could sell that harder Edie: I'll work it out in my freestyle Liam: 🛢🧨 Edie: 🔥 Liam: 🎇🎆 Edie: 🤩 Liam: let's see your glitter Edie: checking it's not a catfish?

Hmmm...how about 1-30? :-P ["I don't know" is a perfectly valid answer to ones you may not have an answer for yet, and so is guessing.]
Hi @prionailurus​!! :D
1. What’s the first game system ( __ Edition D&D, Rifts, GURPS, Shadowrun, etc.) you ever played?
5th edition D&D! I sat in on a Pathfinder campaign once but didn’t actually get to play.
2. What’s the most recent one you’ve played?
Also 5e!
3. What’s your favorite system?
5eeeeeee
4. Is there a system you’d like to play but haven’t?
I’d like to play Pathfinder so I can try the Oracle class out. I’m also interested in another RPG called In Nomine.
5. Are there any systems you’ve tried and did NOT like?
Haven’t had the chance to try any unsuccessfully!
6. Do you have any house rules for the system(s) you play?
Not really? Mostly we have house-handwaves of certain aspects we’re too nooby to enforce, like spell components and rations, and spell prep. That Pathfinder session I watched left me with a house rule I’d love to implement though, that Barbarians can redo a bad roll by punching the table to “pop” the dice.
7. Do you DM/GM for your group?
Occasionally! In my group, I and two others take turns being the DM. Comparing notes without spoilers is a real thorn in the side.
8. Do you say DM or GM?
DM for D&D. I imagine that GM is more fitting for other systems.
9. Do you have a go-to setting?
If I understand the question right, my group’s running campaign is in an ever-expanding homebrewed world of no name, which canonically has an Austria and a New Orleans. There’s a LOT of misty coastal towns, because that’s in the aesthetic of all three DMs.
10. Have you ever run a game, or do you prefer to just play?
I’ve run three campaigns, and there’s a special magic to running, but I do really like playing and being able to get into character. DMing carries a lot of pressure, too.
11. Do you play with game mats and/or minis?
We have a wet-erase mat we keep forgetting to erase and a small set of minis for the party. NPCs and small monsters are played by Monopoly pieces, big bads are amiibos and other kitsch owned by the DM who hosts at his house.
12. How old were you when you first started gaming?
25 c: I’m new
13. How often does your current gaming group meet up?
Weekly, usually, but sometimes we skip a week or two because of scheduling conflicts.
14. How often would you LIKE to meet up for gaming?
Ideally weekly as a minimum. Twice a week would be rad. A week can be a long time to wait!
15. How long do your gaming sessions tend to be?
4 hours min to 6 max. Anything past 5 and people start to disengage and get sleepy because we start in the evening, because scheduling.
16. How long would you LIKE your gaming sessions to be?
I would love to have all-day games, at least for Big Plot Occurrence sessions. With snacks.
17. Have you tried/had any luck with Roll20?
I’ve been trying to connect with a group on there with no luck thus far. I want to use it to playtest some other characters I’ve brewed up.
18. What’s your preferred gaming beverage?
Whatever beer the host is willing to part with, hehe.
19. What are your preferred gaming snacks?
I don’t really snack, we get dinner during our game sessions. Usually sandwiches or pizza.
20. What are your superstitions or rituals regarding dice?
I named a few of my d20s (Rocky, Misfit, Elf One), and I switch between d20s depending on the task at hand. (Rocky is for strength, Elf one is for charisma, Misfit is for attack rolls, etc) I also have a REALLY SHARP d4 from a high-quality set I bought on sale, which I’ve dubbed the 𝕯4 𝖔𝖋 𝕯𝖊𝖆𝖙𝖍 and keep it out for poking people when they have bad gaming etiquette.
Other than that, I mostly just put misbehaving d20s away and switch to my first d20, which rarely lets me down.
21. Do you know anyone with really good/bad/weird dice luck?
Yes! My good friend has NEVER rolled well on initiative in all the times we’ve played. He always rolls 8 or lower.
22. What would you say is your alignment?
Chaotic good, I’d like to think.
23. What is the class you’d like to be?
I’d love to be a bard. Magic and music and charm out the wazoo.
24. What class do you think you’d actually be?
Probably a fighter. I’m good at music, but charming I’m not. Brute strength is where I excel irl. (I do play rugby, after all.)
25. What weapons would you wield? [@thewhiteboardofkanjisan] (It me!)
Sword! I would love to wield any kind of sword.
26. If you could cast one spell, what would it be? [@thewhiteboardofkanjisan​]
Probably Fly, or maybe Polymorph.
27. What school of magic would you specialize in?
Either Divination or Evocation! 
28. If you could have any creature - real or fictional - as a familiar, what would it be? [@thewhiteboardofkanjisan​]
Gonna agree with you, pseudodragon is the WAY TO GO! For a real animal, though, I’d pick a klipspringer antelope or a Honduran white fruit bat.
29. What was your favorite character to play? [@thewhiteboardofkanjisan​]
My currently-only character, Mariya, a CG half-elf ex-acolyte bard loosely based on Maria from The Sound of Music. Over time she’s grown away from the source material in a lot of ways. Depending on what the DM does with Mariya’s backstory, I might give her an alignment shift to LN and heavily multiclass in warlock for the second half of the levels.
30. Do you tend/prefer to play characters of your own gender/orientation?
I’ll shake it up with gender, but my group’s world tends to operate under the rule that Everyone Is Bi Always. One time a plot-hook NPC swapped genders mid-session with no in-world explanation just to make it a little gayer (Landon the lighthouse widower. Poor fellow. That’s a story for another day.)
31(Which I’m adding because I think you sent me the ask before this one got added).   What do you, primarily, get out of roleplaying? That is, is it for fun with your friends, to experiment with being people who you are not, or something else? [@aetherspoon​]
For me, D&D is both freeing and gives me validation I can sometimes miss in real life. I can be things the real world doesn’t allow, but I can also remind myself that Real World Daisy is talented, a good team member, has ideas worth sharing. D&D helped me make it through my final semester of grad school when a really bad semester-long group project was giving me hella anxiety. (I actually wrote an article for the student newspaper about why business students should play D&D. I’ll share it if anyone wants, though my name’s attached to it, but I’ve totes shared that info on here before so it’s nbd!)

You know what's irritating about rod? Hes a bit mental. He says I suck at the fitting room because I don't tell the customers I'ma count their clothes when they're done trying them on.
I give them a card with the number of amount of garments they have. It's fucking common sense I'm going to count their garments when they're done. I don't have to tell them that. Plus I do all the extra other work required in the fitting room which is a lot
He also said he found a number card inside the fitting room. I said yeah sometimes customers forget to bring it back but I make them go get it unless it's extremely busy AND I already remember how many garments they had. Like, totally fuck the fuck off. You're not shit. You're not a manager. Idk why he thinks he has to follow rules to a T. It's absurd
And those aren't even the rules
Also he was leaving today and had 15 mins left and so he threw his go-backs into my cart. I said wtf I'm not doing your work
And he said it's my job. And he said "this is why you won't get a raise" and said they watch on the camera. And I'm like excuse me? I'm already doing my job, THIS right HERE is YOUR shit that you're throwing in my cart. I won't get in trouble for that. Also he could have just asked nicely and I'd have been a good friend and done it since he was leaving. But to abruptly throw it in my cart? No bitch. And to get pissed because I said no? Fuck you.
The whole raise thing was because he said the Managers will be watching us and giving raises individually to those who work well. They hate me already so they won't give me a raise regardless. But I work better than him anyway. I help a lot. For real.
He's supposed to be my friend and he used to say I do a good job but to actually out right say I suck at anything was making me so angry and shocked. Wtf. AND especially over something so small. Like wtf? Literally like my fucking ex except like there's a twist of autism or something mental. He goes fucking full retard sometimes. He's normal but then inconsistencies like this are very offputting
He's usually thirsty and I give him my credit card so he can get a drink from the vending machine. I'm nice like that. He even offered to get me some. But he's kind of bad at that. Like he doesn't want to. But he offered to a few times
He compliments me and says I look good a lot. We joke and get along well usually. I do like him. But we fight sometimes because he turns into a inconsiderate piece of shit. He's actually not one. But like I said, he becomes very rude and unlike himself. It's so offputting
