15 questions, 15 mutuals

tagged by @viciousland

1. are you named after anyone?

yes, my great-grandfather who had a big impact on the family despite / owing to his early death. his first name is my middle name.

2. when was the last time you cried?

phew, the last time i remember was in late 2019, early 2020 when talking about my grandmother’s death in therapy. i may have cried since, but i don’t remember. unfortunately, i don’t cry easily.

3. do you have kids?

no. i think would like to care for children some day, in some capacity, if i’m ever in a position to do so. i wouldn’t reproduce for ethical and personal reasons, but i might adopt.

4. do you use sarcasm a lot?

oh yes.

5. what sports do you play / have played?

the only sport i really pursued is martial arts. judo, karate, kung fu, kickboxing, mixed martial arts. i’d started training with tonfas and katanas as well, but that was some time ago. i still train with and without my tonfas every now and then, but only solo these days.

6. what's the first thing you notice about people?

really depends on the person and under which circumstances i encounter them. different things stand out for different people. if i just pass them by on the street, it’ll probably be how they move. that is to say, where are they going? how slow or fast are they? do they see me? are they looking at their phone? are we in danger of bumping into each other? do they expect me to step out of the way? quick vibe check to determine if too many or not enough people step out of their way. everything i can gauge without looking at them directly for too long.

even in passing, i’ll sometimes notice when someone’s wearing something particularly elegant, is very beautiful, graceful, or has some other peculiarity. another thing that can be hard to miss and that i pay special attention to are people’s voices and their volume.

7. what's your eye colour?

results are inconclusive. the most accurate description i can give is blue-green-grey with light brown/golden rings around the pupil. people tend to become more puzzled, the more they try to settle on a colour.

8. scary movies or happy endings?

yeah... these are not mutually exclusive, but it’s gotta be scary movies for me.

9. any special talents?

language/s and low-level telepathy.

10. where were you born?

a small town in southwest germany, close to france.

11. what are your hobbies?

reading, writing, singing, translating.

12. do you have pets?

no, alas 😢 my parents have two cats and a dog, and i still think of the cats as ours even though i don’t live with them anymore. pretty sure the cats still think of me as part of the family, too. they’re always really happy to see me. haven’t met the dog, so we don’t have a relationship yet.

13. how tall are you?

170 cm or 5'7''

14. favourite subject in school?

probably english

15. dream job?

anaesthesist (get it? because you put people to sleep?)
