#also slater idk but if i were you i would NOT be this cool with using the wedding my husband planned with the guy he was SUPPOSED to marry

[pyrothecary]

america's most eligible wedding edition finale spoilers

i swear i'm almost done with ch0ices guys. almost. but for now here's a compilation of all the screenshots i took of book 3 while i was pining after slater while being engaged to another man 😍 i don't know why i took this many and i dob't know why my hoarder instincts extend to useless screenshots but i need to put these somwehre before i delete them. just in case i need them at some point. (idk why i named my mc 'yum' either but it was so funny when people were trying to be romantic and they just went '... yum... 😋')

[conanssummerchild]

im bored as shit so im going to asign a community person/ship to every conan gray song bcs i really just use this site as a stream of my conciousness, if anyone has a better one for any of them feel free to tell me, also fair warning abed is my fav character, i'll try not to make everything abt him and troy but no promises

grow: the whole final episode really but im thinking mostly jeff tbh or also abed leaving for LA, or even maybe troy leaving on his voyage ☹️

idle town: the 'town' being greendale i feel like this applies to jeff also 😭 like its abt all of them but its jeffs pov

generation why: im thinking my girl britta hehe idk how to explain it but the vibes are so there

crush culture: im thinking annie, but also maybe jeff, aro king 👑

greek god: im thinking maybe abed in high school? i would say annie but she seemed to care more about fitting in while abed had accepted he couldnt, also hes like insightful and observant yk

lookalike: oh my god, brittas pov and its about jeff and slater oof

the other side: troy and abed, specifically in geothermal escapism 😭</3 im killing myself why would i do this

the king: okay fuck this is so trobed coded, abeds pov

comfort crowd: the whole study group tbh <33 in more specifics i was thinking jeff + the study group and honestly abed and annie

wish you were sober: i mean this one has to be either jeff and britta or britta and troy, though troy and britta could be taken either as britta wanting to go party and smoke weed or wtv and troy not rlly doing that stuff or britta feeling rejected bcs of troy giving all his attention to abed 😭 (like as in wish u were sober being wish u werent a raging homosexual)

maniac: probably i'd have to say jeffbritta from either pov

(online love): i... dont know tbh. the vibes are giving annie and troy for some reason, maybe once troys already left?

checkmate: the fond eyeroll i had to give, jeff and britta again. maybe annie being pissed at jeff over their kiss but i dont ship them romantically

the cut that always bleeds: idk, maybe jeff and annies weird ass relationship that keeps fucking happening is the closest, from annies pov

fight or flight: idk tbh, maybe trobed and britta if i had to go with smth, this one is mostly EXTREMELY byler coded (from stranger things) and im never fucking letting that go

affluenza: ok i mean ive gotta give this one to jeff dont i

(can we be friends?): troy abed and annie <3 im so soft for them

heather: ok fuck i HAVE to say trobed and britta and its abeds pov and if we're being specific them in virtual systems analysis becuase i'll never get over this episode ("ive run the simulations, i dont get married :/") bcs i fucking love abed being jealous of britta while she was with troy in the cool way but also in the sad if troy cant love me no one will way

little league: this is troy and abed when troy leaves :(((( and this is canon bcs my beloved wife and i are so troy and abed coded and she loves little league sooo

the story: ok so the boy and the girl are hmm annie and abed, the boy and the boy are troy and abed duh doy, him and his friend are maybe idk britta and troy, i dont wanna say jeff or abed bcs their dad/mum abandoned them and that bit's abt wanting to get away from ur parents yk

fake: (😭) maybe jeff (alan's pov 😔😔💔💔) nah but fr i see people joking abt his song but its lowkey fire

overdrive: WHY DO THEY ALL MAKE ME THINK OF JEFF AND BRITTA

telepath: jeff 😔 and 😔 britta 😔

movies: ok i literally cant say anyone other than abed, the king of movies. im not really feeling troy tho, maybe rachel, like maybe when abed kept trying to super speed run their relationship and he was anxious abt not passing the relationship tests

people watching: the MOST annie coded song ever holy fuck she is so people watching coded i love her so much

disaster: abed. or britta. my abandonment/commitment issues babies <33

best friend: TROBED. THE ONLY BEST FRIENDS EVER

astronomy: would it be absolutely too painful if i said troy and abed. honestly i actually think im feeling more jeff and abed but not like at eachother just both of them together in their sadness, from their pov to someone else (britta and troy probably seeing as these r their main romantic interests)

yours: AHH THIS SONG DEAR GOD </3 can i say abed jesus fuck im killing myself this one for abed hurts so much, not really directed at anyone in specific, or more like just directed at everyone, just his abandonment issues :( ("i dont always see it coming" PUT ME DOWN)

jigsaw: oo britta, my queen she just wants to be loved so bad </3 but also a bit abed ("if being less insane would make you stay" oof)

family line: okay. jeff.he actually invented having daddy issues

summer child: ok its abed bcs i kin him idc, im conans summer child™ and i said so /lh

footnote: not quite sure, very annie coded imo. maybe trobed? either pov ig but im feeling troy

memories: hm, trobed after troy leaves? abed trying to get over him but he keeps imagining troys still there with him like as in one of the hallucinations he has bcs i read a fic like this yesterday and it was sooooo good, idk maybe this is a little far fetched

the exit: im not rlly sure actually, either jeffbritta after the whole i love you in front of anyone fiasco or trobed when troys dating britta 🤷‍♂️

never ending song: ok, jeffbritta.

winner: THE MOST SONG EVER. ok this one is abed. it will always be abed. family line i feel like is more about a hostile home enviroment and jeff implies that his was, while winner is more pain of neglect or disconnect so i feel like its more appliable to abed because of how hes shown to not be understood by his parents and feels responsible for his mother leaving and this makes me think of the line "you dont really wanna hear the truth, do you?" because like his mum loving him on paper but not actually loving who he is or be willing to accept hes different and has different needs FUCK abeds mother all my homies hate abeds mother (what im not projecting at all my parents definitely love me and accept that im autistic /s)

killing me: im not quite sure actually. conan did write this song about someone who gave him tonsilitis and abed cannonically had tonsilitis though so 🤯

lonely dancers: hmm i feel like this song is upbeat enough to be trobed being silly tgth but maybe its more jeffbritta coded, or jeff and abed abt britta and troy, or vice versa, not sure

sorry i never mentioned shirley i do love her

feel free to take any of these as platonic or romantic idrk, a lot of them i couldve meant either way anyway

if u even made it this far u can have a gold star ⭐️ there u go

[jkriordanverse]

tig characters fav movie (also don't judge if I spelled smt wrong bc my contact lenses are being not cool and i have bad eyesight now :( )

Avery - the Breakfast Club (or any 80s-90s movie) bc i feel like Hannah would be the type of person to force Avery watch it with her and growing up Avery would also have an obsession with five teenagers in detention.

Rebecca - Lady Bird. I just think she can relate to this movie so much, especially with the strained relationship towards her mother and the need/want for a deeper connection with someone. It's either that or the Little Women.

Libby - Tangled. She loves Repunzel it's her fav Disney movie you cannot convince me otherwise.

Xander & Max - minions BECAUSE I LOVE MINIONS TOO LIKE YOU CANNOT TELL ME SOMEONE WOULD NOT LIKE THIS MOVIE. I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THEM. either that or Xander was one of those kids who after watchign Toy Story thought that their figurines and dolls would move so he'd randomly walk outside and tried to peek through the keyhole to see if they were moving.

Nash - Glee or Hamilton. He's a true theatre kid and you cannot change my mind. His favourite SIX queen would be Catherine Parr (or so i think) bc she reminds him of Libby (they're both survivors)

also can you imagine Nash singing Everybody Talks to Libby????that would be so cuteeeeeeeeee (or any mushy love song)

Jameson - idk i think like Avery he'd also be a sucker for old movies. I have Grease in my mind but idk.

Gigi - the cats documentary. She'd be busy fawning over the cats. As a kid she'd love movies with animals (EG: Madagascar, Pets), she still does.

Mattias (Slater) - some stupid shit like Fast and Furious. Idk no offense to fast and furious movie lovers but there is an awful lot of bald men in that one movie. I had lots of problems tellign the characters apart. :<

[bunnyb34r]

So I finally went to the movies again and saw Blink Twice... and I have some Thoughts™️

I'll put spoilers under the cut but tw if you're at all interested in this movie, very very heavy graphic and sexual violence. They even do a TW for sexual assault at the very start of the film and a way for victims to get help. Which is good, but makes me wonder... would they give you a refund?? If you couldnt handle that subject and were like nope not for me! And leave? Bc no where in the trailers (that I've seen) is it indicated that the movie is about that... so...

That aside, I did enjoy pieces of the movie (but overall idk if I liked it. It left me with a sick feeling in my stomach (which is the point))

I liked the color scheme, the repetition of white and blue and the red both being there the whole time but also becoming more and more important as the plot progresses. I think that was cool.

The camerawork made me kinda ill im ngl... that might have been intentional idk.

It was a really interesting movie, one that you kinda gotta sit with after watching. It was a lot sadder than I expected. Funny in parts like the stupid fucking chair, but overall it left me sad. Idk I was expecting more... The Most Dangerous Game and not that™️

Oh and I think the acting and casting was really good too

Spoilers ⬇️

So the main twist honestly made my stomach sink. Idk what I was expecting but god it wasn't that even though I probably should have.

I honestly thought the perfume was made with blood and that thats why the snakes or that they were like draining the victims of blood and making perfume for the men that brought them there.

I really liked how literally everything tied back to some part of the movie, the opening shot making so much more sense, the scar, all of it. That was really clever. Heartbreaking, but clever. I wish they had subtitles or made the "red rabbit" part more clear bc I couldnt understand that until Frida repeated her. That part was so so heartbreaking and clever too. Like when it all makes sense it's like another punch to the gut.

"Theres a special place in hell for people who choose to do nothing" was a good line but also like rich coming from you Slater. Mr Morality over here!

At first I didnt get why she saved him, but nothing would have stopped anyone else who he had previously brought to the island if she killed him. Like they could just fly their themselves and do the same shit again. This way she stops it, but god I dont think I could sleep in the same bed as that man after all that. (And I'm sure that is also a message like trauma affects others differently, the best revenge is success/she's able to manipulate HIM now ect) but I cant help but wonder how the other girl felt (i cant remember her name) ab her MARRYING that man like... the whole girls helping girls speech ect

I do kinda think it's funny how Frida was telling him to "eat his steak" bc he said before he didnt eat red meat, so again she's able to manipulate him even in subtle ways now as revenge.

I think this movie is like either one you only see once or one you see at least twice to digest it all. Personally I could not watch it again knowing what I know now, but I could see someone wanting to see it multiple times to dissect it all.

Oh and I thought it was interesting how Stacy didnt WANT to remember and how "forgetting is a gift" and the reveal of what happened to Slater and his sister. That was sad but interesting, especially since victims of CSA tend to have complex relationships regarding their abusers and how some go on to do what was done to them bc of their trauma. That was sad but a very interesting plot point

I'll probably have more to tack on later but yeah that was... that was something.

[ive-lost-my-effervescent-mind]

So I watched Interview with the Vampire for the first time

I watched Interview with a Vampire for the first time just now and here are my thoughts, in the order I thought them. The movie is like two hours long and I had a LOT of thoughts but the movie’s on hulu so if you watch it, maybe read along idk

Christian Slater looks like Logan Lerman send tweet

Brad Pitt isn't that hot ngl

What's with Vampires and the confederacy?

I mean really. Twilight, Vampire Dairies, Beautiful Creatures and now this

Ngl, flying while drinking someone's blood is pretty gay

This whole movie so far is pretty gay

They're boyfriends, I've decided it

Okay maybe Brad Pitt was kinda hot

Tom Crusie is still creepy tho

All this seems pretty tame so far, idk why it's rated R

"Now look with your vampire eyes." Stephenie Meyer wishes she wrote this line

"I'll be waiting for you." G A Y

Are they in France?

Oh no he has a conscience 

Tom Cruise being the best vampire boyfriend and killing the victim for his vampire boyfriend 

It's important to note that i have no idea what these characters' names are

Literally, I don't think they've been said

Did he just- is he eating a rat?

Oh, they're in Louisiana

Lestat, what a funny name

I need some blood, Lestat

Read her mind? really? The more pre-twilight vampire stuff I see the less impressed I become with Stephenie Meyer’s concepts

What's that thing on his thumb?

You may be old enough to be his grandmother, murderous old lady, but his vampire boyfriend is more than old enough to be yours

"Life without me would be even more unbearable" I said it before and I’ll say it again: GAY

Brad Pitt really said let's go to KFC

Wow they're really trying to convince us that Vampire Brad Pitt was nice to his slaves and really cared about them. Disgusting

Oh, his name is Louis

Maybe Tom Cruise is cute

Still creepy tho

Okay, NOW they're in France

Is he-is he eating her boob!?

Yes! He drank her blood from her boob!

I get why it's R now

"So I'm sitting there with blood on my titties"

I love Louis's hair, such volume

The coffee table is a coffin, how smart

There is a lot of drinking of rats in this movie

Oh, the plague, how relatable 

Awww, Baby Kirsten Dunst

More rats, yay

He made her a vampire?

She's like 9. Imagine never aging past nine

Oh, it's a knife ring. How cool

Wow Claudia really likes the test of vamp blood. It's not like Lestat doesn't deserve it

Wow, she becomes a vampire and her hair is instantly curled

How nice, he's poking a hole in the nanny-juice box for her

"Our little daughter." G A Y

I appreciate this gay vampire dad content

I love how she kills every man who pisses her off. Good for her

"I want to be her." Poor baby

Claudia is fighting back. So much rage in such a small body

Oh my god her hair. It just grows back. Dear god

She cut him. Good for her

Oh no

"Louis my love" oh no oh no oh no

If this movie is going where i think it is imma turn it off

Oh wait nvm

She just wants to leave

Thank god

"Is that supposed to scare me?" This kid is I C O N I C

Lestat is a Le-Jerk

Did she kill him?

She did, she did kill him. He deserved it tho

"He belongs with those reptiles." Claudia is a savage

This is such a violent and brutal break up

Also: this movie is L O N G

Oh no, the plague, again

At least Claudia gets to go to a ball, and the opera

I don't know who this other vampire is but i sense that he's an asshole

He's so odd. But i guess you do what you gotta do to say entertained

You could say his eternal life literally drove him up the wall

Oh! The dad from spy kids

He has a card, how classy

I love how no one questions that Louis takes a kid out in high society 

"A vampire pretending to be a human pretending to be a vampire." " How avant garde" this kid!

Oh my god that isn't an actress. Its an actual victum

There he is! The dad from spy kids!

They really killed her in front of all those people. Theatre these days, amirite?

How cute, they have little coffin cubbies

See Louis, every vampire has a kid

Oh wait no

He's not a vampire kid, he's an actual child that they just feed on

Vampire dad-from-spy-kids really said fuck your morality

Why does Claudia call Louis beloved. It creeps me out

It's illegal to kill another vampire. Damn

It's illegal to make a young vampire, as it should be

That being said, Lestat told them none of this!

Ofc, Louis has made yet another vampire fall in love with him. Good for him

"You...are...beautiful, my friend." G A Y

Lestat was really everyone's asshole ex, wasn't he?

Oh no! Claudia wants a friend

She's guilt tripping him. Good for her

Oh wow, he actually did it

Oh wait he didn't 

Oh no, he lost his humanity 

Why is she gonna kiss him

Oh good the vampire police are here to stop it

I mean: oh no! Not the vampire kid!

Armand! Do something! Save your vampire love interest!

More coffins, great

Louis's punishment is giving me "Cask of armillio” vibes 

Oh shit, the dungeons has no ceiling to the sky, she's gonna burn

Poor Claudia

Oh, and also Madeline i guess

Yes Armond! Free him!

Louis for vampire dad of the year

Oh no...they're ash

Poor Louis

"So vampires can cry" See Smeyer! See!

Is that...oil?

Oh yes, yes it is. And he's covering everything with it

LOUIS REALLY SAID ALL YOU KILLED MY DAUGHTER, PREPARE TO DIE

wheres armund tho

Oh no the sun

There he is! There's Armund!

And the blood boy

Oh shit, Louis is maaddd

"But the world was a tomb to me." Damn

More rats. Great.

"The scent of death...an old death." Lestat? Is that you?

It is Lestat!

He looks like shit

Has he been sitting there since the late 1700s?

"But all my passion went with her golden hair." Still unclear if he loves her as a daughter or as something else...very creepy

Proof that this movie is gay: the framing device takes place in SF

Oh shit. It's Lestat

He's gonna kill the interviewer 

Damn Lestat is salty

Oh wait, he's gonna turn him

In conclusion

All vampire content is, on some level, gay, whether intentional or not. This movie is definitely not the exception.

This movie is L O N G

the plot is kinda unclear. It’s very character driven (?)

Edward should have made Bella watch this movie in order to convince her not to be a vampire

Even though Jane is originally a brunette in the books, she’s esentially just Claudia

I started watching this movie thinking Tom Crusie and Brad Pitt are just kinda creepy middle aged dudes. It’s nice to know they were kinda cute back in the day. Still creepy tho

For some reason, I thought this was the movie where the little girl says “I see dead people”

It isn’t, in case anyone is wondering

[marshvlovestv]

I don’t talk much about my obsessive sorting of fictional characters into Myers-Briggs types on here because I am an amateur who just does it for like, self-comfort and is probably wrong about all of it. And I know that sorting characters can get needlessly controversial and I don’t like that kind of stress in my life. But I really amused myself this time so I thought, why not share it?

Please don’t yell at me.

I’ve gotten into several new properties recently that I really liked, and in the past few months I’ve typed 29 new characters from four of them: 4 from Sally Face, 12 from Ugly Betty, 7 from We Bare Bears, and 6 from Pushing Daisies (I’m still working on Life in Pieces and Unavowed). These shows-and-one-video-game all had one big thing in common: they were all unapologetically quirky and nothing like I expected them to be. Plus, between the four of them they have at least one character for each MBTI type, which really excites me. So I’ve created profiles of every type based only on what the characters are like.

ESTJ: Meticulous, observant, and over-the-top dramatic. Has done shit for the sake of their career that no rational person would ever do. Good with kids. Definitely very gay probably.

ISTJ: Comes off as bitter and cynical, because she has been hurt before, and she often succumbs to the urge to retreat and hide herself from the world. Deep down, all she really wants is to be part of a happy family. Although she is the worst big sister ever. She made a baby with her younger sibling’s significant other. Her stupid, trusting younger sibling. My god.

ESFJ: The Big Foot

ISFJ: This is the only one where it’s two characters from the same show. They are cute and adjust their glasses too much and they dated each other and got banned from Wicked forever.

ESTP: A beautiful woman but decidedly unladylike, most of her friends are men (gay men, but still). Uncannily good at discovering hidden doors and secret rooms.

ISTP: That one cool friend with a lot of hidden talents who is always ready with a snappy remark. Seems tough but is actually very passive, to the point where they are easily taken advantage of. Fled to the US from a foreign country.

ESFP: The Fuck Boy

ISFP: Beta baby cuck virgin. He hasn’t had sex in like ten years and all his girlfriends are long-distance. nerd. I am being unfair; to his credit, his hobbies and interests skew towards the feminine and he completely owns that, which is great. But also, nerd.

ENFJ: Smol and very Dangerous. Portrayed by a very famous someone with an instantly recognizable voice; hearing them speak sparks joy for me. A big part of their character is a desire to be a visible part of the group of 3 core characters. But it doesn’t look like that’ll be happening any time soon.

INFJ: The coolest, nicest person you will ever meet. Is just so kind to everyone, and so generous, and also they’re a convicted murderer. They’re literally in jail for viciously slaughtering another human being and no, they weren’t wrongfully accused, they actually did it. I want them to be my best friend.

ENFP: So gullible and friendly to everybody that they have Mob connections and don’t even know it. An oldest child and also a dumb fucking mess, their very existence proves that birth order psychology is bullshit.

INFP: The Head Banger

ENTJ: Uhhh... Wilhelmina Slater

INTJ: The Gummed Shoe  

ENTP: A sassy baby with a dead father. Can the word “precocious” be used to describe a teenager, or a grown-ass adult? Because if so, that would describe them to a T. Snappy dresser.

INTP: Needs to go outside more!!!! You can’t waste your life just hanging out with your animals, silly. Though, to be fair, they tend to get mixed up in some dark business when they leave the house. They are a lot like the ISTP but less artistic and a lot more talkative.

When Life in Pieces and Unavowed have been fully typed, maybe I will update these. IDK.

[kulekrizpy]

i was in classroom where gifted kids were. used to go there myself? b. cohen was there (trans guy from hs — don’t remember if that’s his last name). hung out with cool instructor. couch had smartboard tech. teacher was lithe and yoga instructor like. after class she tried to get everyone to leave pretty quickly. i hung around. our house’s stairs were there and i listened in from them while the woman told people over loud speaker to come to the lava pit. for extra class or a session. idr. people came by for it. one guy looked like lemony snicket guy. he had an anxious brother looked like the waiter guy from asoue actually. it took me a little while to figure out how to get in (behind washing machine, in front of door in washing room in basement, eventually i went upstairs when lady said there were special portals for cohen around). there was more you had to do to get in properly. there was a room for like debriefing and then if you wanted to go on mission you couldn’t get in without some sort of soul animal test where you go into a dreamlike state and have to fend it off or something. boy from class (older boy) tried it. he seemed european somehow. he had a pig on a farm trying to get him and he couldn’t fend it off it kept finding its way around the fence posts and slipping thru towards him and he was like “idk why it’s not working lady ______! i want to help but it won’t let me!” and she was like are you sure and he said yes but she zoomed out took wet cloth off his face and the lighting sunrise or set turned from reddish to green tinged and she said i don’t think you really want this and it was bc he was actually good aligned not evil. i felt like i could go thru tho i wasn’t sure if i was evil aligned. the lady said you’ve been ready whenever you want and the dark dreamworld fell and i had cloth but the lighting was greenish then city lighting yellowish and a caribou (cartoon-like from frozen) came running toward me instead of a goat like i thought but it never hit me instead i turned and it kind of fell away and then guy from house md was dancing in the street and i followed him (i think slater was nearby). he was doing lots of flowy movements and leg kicks and shear fabric flow and i followed him near a european building we went inside the arching entrance. it was square outside and continued to arch inside. then weird time flow stuff happened and i ended up inside in a different outfit and i was —

before all this i had a rerun of a bit of a dream where i broke into this lady’s closet (with her permission -- i just had to know how). there wes a  big slab same as wall around it set in wall with brass patterns/castings and it was leaves and knobs. towards the bottom it was more tarnished in one area. the pattern to open was just to turn one knob (has flathead screw look) and press another and it popped open which revealed some books and boxes inside each with their own puzzle to unlock the proper thing. in the closet next to this there were more as well. i unlocked on but i think there were several unlock keys and it wasn’t the right one. code was deangelis and i had to press the letters on a box with a different saying inscribed already. the letter were separate ornate buttons. lady was also instructor lady

before THAT i had another horrible dream about the rats and this time i freaked out and was like MOMMY i need to give them to petco and we  were gonna do that but then when i bought extra containers for separating them further i got MORE rats/mice for some reason D: and then when i put them together they multiplied. and then i thought wait i already got RID of the rats and anyway it was mess. when i got home tom looked at them. when i visited instructor lady i explained some of this and i was looking at a huge assortment of them for some reason. lots and lots and actually they were tiny tiny cats in this scenario for some reason. i remember bc the orange male tabbies were particularly protective. also there was kenya present searching going on

when i went to visit classroom it’s bc it used to be my classroom and lady was my instructor and she didn’t really like one kid with glasses. the kids were all ages

anyway back to time stuff i went down tunnel and then i was there and it was like 50′s maybe and i was a hat designer i think but for some reason any time weirdness or discrepancies we said or did would be covered up so i would doodle shit that didn’t make sense (cohen had a notebook that looked like hat designs in classroom earlier) and it would get covered up as like the best work ever

when i got there there were red letters marked on stuff only i and other travellers could see. anxious tall white guy from asoue was there and also snicket who was his brother (aka slater). anxious guy had an H written on a luggage lock or smth so it made DOHA or smth similar (DORAH? i think it was a place tho). i had a K written somewhere. i went into his room briefly to discuss this and he didn’t know anything about it or gettign there he didn’t know anything about the mission. i didn’t really either but i knew more than him. snicket’s name was slater which seems like last name but i don’t think it was associated w/ brother at all

we were at dinner with some lady from the time or whatever and she was like your  designs are nice but they could use some work and i was like llol ok cuz i literally never designed shit since the time stream magic did it for me. my companions laughed tho like maybe it was due to my lack of skill of time magic manipulation. i listened politely tho

me and slater were at odds about something. i did weird dream thing of suddenly zooming far away from the scene (it was like looking across a train station and on the other side’s wall there were moving cylindrical prisms and they had scenes from the dinner printed and there were some red letters sprayed that should line up if the cylinders were placed correctly) and there was some modernish black dude dilvering pizza at the train station and when he said “pizza!” some white guy wearing business suit took his hands and said “thank you for telling me your name” and i knew the business dude had been upset bc he didn’t know some particular people’s names.... anyway pizza dude was like “..ok” and i walked him back out of the time stream and i asked if he knew the word mambo (anxious guy’s name i think) and the guy was like ofc and only modern ppl knew that word (altho it meant salsa but the Word was mambo) and i sent him out. he knew the word tho not the guy

after i talked to mambo and told him his brother was named slater i knew cuz i had somehow been here before in the 1920′s and the  brother had SLATER stamped on a little metal tag on the back of his hat. he was like peaky blinders or smth. idk why but it seemed like slater was Bad

then i woke up?

My RAW Story, February 26, 2018 #WWEAnaheim

Once again, WWE captured my heart when I went to Monday Night RAW from Anaheim at the Honda Center. Being there live is incredible. From the little behind the scenes things that occur during commercial breaks and between matches, to seeing just how handsome the guys are in person and how pretty the women are, to just...everything! 

Traffic was crazy so didn't get there as early as planned (making sure my section was the right one, there is no worse panic than that before RAW yikes!) BUT made it just in time for the start of RAW (Tazawa vs Davari and Goldust vs Hawkins were the dark matches so I was good lol) 

The HD jumbo tron at the Honda Center is huge and BEAUTIFUL! One of the clearest RAW pictures I've ever seen (I guess I need to update to 4K next haha). Alexa Bliss vows to end Asuka's streak I was happy when the show opened with the women. What was ironic about seeing Alexa and Mickie was that my last RAW in September was the one that set up their feud in the fall of 2017 so was cool seeing them as friends now. I popped LOUD when Asuka's music hit. I wish I could've seen her full entrance but just to SEE her after following her since her NXT days was incredible. The crowd literally had an "Oh no she di'dn't" moment when Alexa mocked her language! I remember encouraging Alexa to hit her because duh! And it was fun to be in an "Asuka's gonna kill you" chant. Though I would've liked to see their entrances too, seeing Sasha and Bayley run out to help got me even more hype. This night would be amazing! 

Sasha Banks, Bayley & Asuka def Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss, and Mickie James During the commercial, Alexa ran to the gorilla position, maybe to put something down or get a drink of water, but the heels stayed around at the ramp and then their music hit again after JoJo announced to the crowd that there would be a tag match next. They also played the Snoop 2K18 ad and to see his cousin Sasha in the ring when it got to her part "One word, Banks" made me grin from ear to ear. 

The ladies had a very good match, but the best moment was when, after getting screwed over at both the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber, Bayley FINALLY stood up to Sasha by ignoring her tag and backing away. Asuka's "idk what's going on with you two but I'm just here to own it" attitude was a nice added touch to it. I was also surprised at how MASSIVE the boos were for Sasha tonight. Heel heat!! 

They play WWE commercials during mainstream commercial breaks and there was an ad to Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling" and they showed Lonzo Ball and his family AND THE BOOS OMG! 

John Cena addresses his Road to Mania I love John Cena and I haven't seen him since a RAW I went to in January 2012 so that was a HUGE thrill. My first time in a "Let's Go, Cena", "Cena Sucks" dueling chant which was pretty cool. But when he announced he'd love to face The Undertaker. The Pop. Hands down the loudest pop I've EVER been involved with in my life!! I could've cried I was so excited then he trolled us to show disappointment and wow, what a moment. Bravo, Cena. You are a true master! 

Bray Wyatt vs Heath Slater They played the "Thank You" WWE Network promo and wow that is just a great highlight of 2017. This year looks even more promising. Back to the action...when Heath and Rhyno came out, I was worried that this would take time away from a talent I'd want to see. I was very happy to see Bray live (haven't seen him since early 2014). Holding up my cell phone light with the other fireflies is unlike any other experience and as a Bray fan, it made it even more special. 

After his beatdown of the other two and his "look what you made me do" I couldn't help but smile and laugh! Too perfect! I was disappointed Matt wasn't there, but seeing Bray (who can be rare for RAW) made it special. Oh and after his promo, Bray tossed the mic across the ring and I laughed too hard. 

The Miz vs Seth Rollins They played a promo for the Mixed Match challenge and yes I fangirled over seeing my faves Finn and Sasha! So Miz comes out and his comments about Anaheim being a glorified suburb had me ROLLING!  I went to college in the OC so I can relate to that sentiment (it's safe tho!). Then he cut one of his best promos ever. I've been a MizFit for years and you can definitely feel the passion in his words about being close to history and making the title relevant again (take that, Brock!). 

I knew his opponent would be one of 3 rumored: Braun, Seth, or Finn. I preferred Seth or Finn and when Seth's music hit I screamed. Felt good too since I was wearing his shirt! 

BURN IT DOWNNNNNN!! And the match was incredible! Seth did a spot where he jumped out the ring and landed flat and I remember flinching, thinking "DON'T MISS WRESTLEMANIA AGAIN OMG PLEASE!!". I remember clapping extra hard to get him going and it's funny it felt like we were giving him strength and power from our claps alone so I did mine even more aggressively. Wrestlers feed off that energy. I haven't said "Come on, Seth!" as much as I did and to see Miz kick out the falcon arrow, the crowd went NUTS! And to see him do the frog splash made my Eddie Guerrero heart flutter! 

Now during all this, I saw the crew remove a black square from the ramp and I immediately knew that meant Finn would come out next. That's where his fog comes out from and I was able to prepare to see one of my faves. Yes!!

The Miz vs Finn Balor FINNNNNNN! I was screaming, reaching out to him as he stretched out his arms in our direction. I remember trying to get a clear shot of him on my camera but I was shaking so much in excitement and to do the arm thing in an arena with the Balor Club is incredible. It was my 2nd time seeing him but it's always special since he's one of my favorites and knowing how bad I'd been dying to see him since the NXT days (NXT never came out west and he was injured for six months) made it that much better. 

During the commercial break (they played a promo for the XFL but I didn't pay attention because I was too busy staring at Finn) he literally went to every side and threw up a "Too Sweet"--most guys either talk to the refs, do stretches, or just watch the ads but he took time paying to the fans and it just shows what a class act he is. ️

And in the middle of all this I literally missed him doing the arm thing in front of Seth. LOL. So when the Miztourage beat him down I called for Gallows and Anderson and BOOM the Good Brothers ran out (the guy behind me said "hey yeah, you're right!) and it hit me that I was seeing a Bullet Club beatdown with Gallows, Anderson, and Devitt at the Honda Center for WWE...something 2014 me or 2015 me never would have dreamed of!

The match was incredible. I'd playfully yell, "WATCH OUT MIZ" whenever Finn would approach him from behind. I had a lot of "Come on, Finn!" moments and the two count followed by a SWEEEEEET was even sweeter. He hit the Coup De Grace and life was good (also his jacket was on the floor the whole time and I'm just like wow you don't see that on TV). 

He usually does two arm things but that night he did 3 and I just loved it, and waved goodbye as he walked to the back. They did the WrestleMania countdown (41 more days!!) and I of COURSE pointed to the WrestleMania sign! 

Roman Reigns Promo on Brock Lesnar The commercial SAID there'd be a Brock vs Roman face off next. Roman is one of my favorites so I couldn't believe I saw Miz, Seth, Finn, and Roman ALL in a row! I would FINALLY see Brock, someone I'd never seen before, too. Right? HAHAHAHA!!! 

Roman came out and I totally fangirled, screamed. I mean come on. He's Roman! The crowd booed him and I did an over the top cheer because I love the dude. And that's when we learned Brock wasn't there even after being advertised. I was so annoyed. Then Roman cut the promo of his life. He captivated the audience. It was a pipebomb. The booing stopped and it became more cheers, oohs, and aaahs. Roman cut a promo that got fans interested in the match and turned haters into supporters. He said EXACTLY what many of us were thinking and to be such a Roman fan and to witness such a beautiful developmental moment for him and to be in a hostile crowd and watch it transform into a supportive one. Just. Wow. I'm so proud of him I can't even!! 

The Bar vs Titus Worldwide I noticed Charly Caruso sitting ringside so knew she'd be doing an interview. JoJo walked to the ring to announce The Bar. I knew it was them as the production guys circled the camera getting ready for their spiral entrance and it is even more epic in person! During the commercial, Cesaro literally did push ups and him and Sheamus chatted and joked around. It was so cool to see! Titus Worldwide had fun and it was great to see a 2 out of 3 falls match even though it was won after just 2 .

They announced Jarrius "JJ" Robertson for the Hall of Fame and wow what a beautiful and inspiring story. He received a standing ovation. Well deserved. ️️

Braun Strowman vs Elias It seems like every hour they change the ring, roll off the top layer and reveal another clean ring. I didn't notice that last time. But in the dark as a WWE ad was playing, the production guy put a stool in the ring and in the corner I could see Elias scurry to the ring literally 15 seconds before JoJo introduced him. And he has a great voice live! Before the match started, Braun dos crouching stretches in the ring and I just close seeing these little behind the scenes tidbits. Elias' match with Braun was great (the fire extinguisher!!) and the crowd popped when Braun went to the Announcer's Table! It was my first time seeing a fight spill to the backstage area live so that was cool and so was the loud GET THESE HANDS chant. 

The Authority, Ronda Rousey, and Kurt Angle Hearing "Bow Down to the King" live is incredible and I choked laughing when they showed Ronda slam Triple H through the table from the night before and in the ring Triple H immediately turned his entire body around in disgust! I was waiting for Kurt's music and the "You Suck" (missed that) BUT was happy to see Ronda come down angry. I've never seen her live so it's cool I've seen both Ronda Rousey from the world of MMA and Floyd Mayweather from boxing in a WWE ring in Anaheim (Floyd was a little over 10 years ago in 2008). "Bad Reputation" is such a jam live and Kurt was hilarious with wanting to keep his job and Ronda threatening Stephanie was too funny. Triple H's sucker punch rocked (I saw a meme become born before my eyes) and it ended very nicely! 

Dark Match-John Cena & Roman Reigns vs The Bar JoJo announced this match earlier and that made me happy since I didn't see either one wrestle. The Bar stood by the bell area and had a hilarious bit where Sheamus' mic didn't work and he incited a "You Look Stupid" chant. Cesaro's mic worked but when Sheamus had it, it didn't which was very funny! Solid match with Cena and Reigns winning. Cena took time to talk to a kid in his green shirt after the match and he took a selfie with a fan at ringside by the ramp. Roman acknowledged a girl who had a sign for him and signed some things in the front row, himself, shining that gorgeous smile of his. 

JoJo thanked us all for coming and we were on our way. Cena, Finn, and Sasha went to LA for SmackDown (Cena's challenge and then the Mixed Match Challenge) while the others went to the airport to head home until Friday where they'll be back on the road doing the fly in, eat, check in hotel, gym, arena for practicing moves, rehearsing, makeup, etc., wrestle, leave, and drive or fly to the next city, sleep in hotel and repeat. You really have to respect all that they do for us fans. I can't put into words the respect I have for the wrestlers. An incredible show with solid builds and seeds planted for WrestleMania from Roman vs Brock, to (maybe) Cena vs Taker, Sasha vs Bayley, Asula vs Alexa, Miz vs Finn vs Seth, Ronda/Kurt vs The Authority. Whew! Great seats, awesome crowd, and fun times! Thank you, WWE! #WWEAnaheim was an absolute thrill!

DWTS24 Cast Announcement and why Simone Biles won’t win.

Do you feel it? The anticipation, the desire, the lust for shirtless foreign men mixed with the scent of sweat dripping on hardwood?

YOU’RE GODDAMN RIGHT YOU DO. BECAUSE IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER SEASON OF OUR FAVORITE SHOW WE LOVE TO RIP APART SINCE THIS IS OUR VERSION OF THE GODDAMN NFL.

IT’S TIME FOR MY RECAP OF THE DWTS SEASON 24 CAST ANNOUNCEMENT. BASK IN MY DISPLAY OF EXCITEMENT VIA CAPS LOCK. HERE WE GO, KIDS.

The Guys

BONNOR BOLTON with pro partner SHARNA BURGESS:

To start us off, like a large portion of the cast this season, especially the males, I have no clue who this person is. Apparently he’s a bull rider and model? Because those two things are commonly associated with each other… Anyway, he looks 12 but apparently is almost thirty. Now, if you remember back to season 8, rodeo cowboy Ty Murray (ex-hubbie of singer Jewel, though they were still married at the time) managed to get to fourth place with Chelsie Hightower. Now I won’t take anything away from Ty, but the competition wasn’t incredibly stiff that year outside of the top 3. That being said, it is possible this Bonnor guy (raise your hand if you’ve ever heard that name before. Me either) could turn out to be the next James Hinchcliffe and shock us all (shoutout to James. We love and adore and miss the hell out of you and Shar. #GetMarried). But I doubt it. My expectations are low. Moving on.

RASHAD JENNINGS with pro partner EMMA SLATER:

Please welcome the latest inductee into the Pro Athletes I’ve Never Heard Of Because They Are In Fact Athletes Club! His bio says he’s a running back in the NFL. Wasn’t Tim Riggins a running back on Friday Night Lights? GO RIGGINS! (Shoutout to everyone in Dillon, Texas. #TexasForever) …That’s it for my football knowledge. But congrats to Emma for getting a partner that isn’t old enough to be her grandfather and is actually in good physical shape. He won’t win, but he sure as hell won’t be as bad as her usual partners. Yahoo!

CHRIS KATTAN with pro partner WITNEY CARSON:

I’m never upset to see Witters. I missed her on the tour. This guy’s turn on SNL was before my time, so I’m 0/3 thus far. I’m gonna make a guess based on physique and just first glance (because I wouldn’t be the Lo you all love if I wasn’t a judgmental asshole) and say he’s gonna suck and be out early. Sorry Wit. Enjoy your time with the troupe.

DAVID ROSS with pro partner LINDSAY ARNOLD:

Again, I’m always happy to see Lindsay. We’re up to 0/5 for my recognition of the males of season 24, and we have our second inductee into the season 24 IDK Athletes Club. My knowledge of baseball is limited to the new FOX show Pitch (watch it. Fall in love with it. Obsess with me and my friendys in the #bawson tag. And yes, that is Mark Paul Gosselaar from Saved By The Bell. Zack Morris is a sexy motherfucker with that beard. #ShamelessPlug) but he seems like a nice guy. Horray for the MLB finally getting someone on the show. Or really, I’m sorry to the MLB for finally getting someone on the show. Moving forward.

MR. T with pro partner KYM HERJAVEC:

I KNOW THIS ONE! YOU GUYS, I KNOW WHO THIS ONE IS. And Kym is using her married name! (BTW, sidenote, I’ve started watching SharkTank and now adore Robert. Just sharing #Sharkaroo) Anyway, I think we all know how this is going to turn out. Lord help us. And I’m already sick of hearing that catchphrase.

NICK VIALL with pro partner PETA MURGATROYD:

Sigh. Yes, I know this one too. First of all, let me say welcome back Peta. We’ve missed you and couldn’t be happier to see you back on our screens. However, I’d rather see her with damn near anyone else but this guy. Am I watching this season of the Bachelor? Hell no, and Nick is the reason why. I didn’t watch his seasons of The Bachelorette- I actually have only seen a handful of seasons, but I’m aware of what’s gone on. And I’m opposed to him being the Bachelor for two reasons: #1. It should’ve been Luke. And #2. He’s a dick. Go ahead and try to convince me otherwise. I’m waiting. He won’t be great, and hopefully he won’t be around long. Sorry Nick, yet again you’ll be sent home with only your hand to console you. BUH-BYE NOW.

The Girls

SIMONE BILES with pro partner SASHA FARBER:

Another sigh. Am I excited she’s on the cast? Yes. Will she do well? Pointless to even answer. Am I excited to see the routines she does and how epic her partnership with Sasha will be? Of course. But I’m 95% sure she won’t win and here’s why: it’s also why I’m upset she’s on this season: they can’t and won’t have two identical winners directly next to each other. Simone isn’t even just a gymnast like Laurie, she was literally on the same team and is damn near a carbon copy. Is that a bad thing in life? Hell no. She’s tiny, adorable, and too precious for planet Earth. Make no mistake, I’m in love with the girl. But Simone winning would be almost an exact repeat of last season, which I do not think TPTB (sorry, I mean “the public voters” O.O) will allow. This is why when directly after the Olympics Simone said she couldn’t do the fall season of the show because of other commitments but would love to do the spring season, I was concerned when they announced Laurie. It’s like when Riker Lynch competed and his sister Rydel (shoutout to R5 for being fucking rockstars. Also, #TeamRallison you are missed) said she’s wanted to do the show for a long time, I said even if her schedule worked out it would have to be several seasons before she competed because having siblings back to back is too similar. So really it’s unfair to Simone and unfair to Sasha as well that she’s competing this season, because it’s an almost guarantee she won’t win despite the fact that we know she’ll be one of the best on the floor. Will she make it to the finale? Of course. But I sincerely doubt she has a real shot at getting the mirrorball.

CHARO with pro partner KEO MOTSEPE:

Okay. I get it. With a lot of the male vets being gone, it makes sense that Keo would get another shot as a pro. Plus, in this scenario whether or not he’s a great teacher doesn’t really matter. Do I know who this woman is? Yes. And…I don’t think I need or want to say much more. Godspeed.

ERIKA JAYNE with pro partner GLEB SAVCHENKO:

The Housewives is actually one of the few reality shows I don’t watch, primarily because I simply don’t have the time. So I have no clue who this woman is. I have a feeling she’ll be similar to Kim Zolciak, who I also did not know during her run in season 21 but quickly fell in love with and still follow on social media to this day. So who knows? I’m open to it and wish her well.

NANCY KERRIGAN with pro partner ARTEM CHIGVINTSEV:

Nope. Don’t know her either. But I remember when poor Dorothy Hamill, another former Olympic skater, back in season 16 was tragically forced to drop out of the competition in week 2 due to injury. Dorothy’s first performance was epic though, and she and Nancy seem somewhat similar in build, so… perhaps this could work well. If nothing else, we know the Olympians know how to train. Again, I wish her luck. Let’s see how this goes.

NORMANI KORDEI with pro partner VAL CHMERKOVSKIY:

I will be honest: of all the members of Fifth Harmony, Normani is not my favorite. She’s actually 4/5 for me, and yes, I still count Camilla. But I’m open to new things. She seems cool. And just because she isn’t my favorite member of Fifth Harmony doesn’t mean I don’t like her, she’s just not my fave. I’m excited to get to know and love her. I think she’ll be great. I look forward to seeing her partnership with Val. I’m good with this.

HEATHER MORRIS with pro partner MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY:

OH MY HELL KIDS, HERE WE GODDAMN GO. “Did you know that dolphins are just gay sharks?” “Whenever I pray, I fall asleep.” “Mr. Schue, is he your son?” “When I pulled my hamstring I went to a misogynist.” “It’s a male duck.” “I’m pretty sure my cat’s been reading my diary.” “She’s the one they made me talk to when they found out I was keeping that bird in my locker.” IT’S BRITTANY MOTHERFUCKING S. PIERCE. Yes she toured as a dancer with Beyoncѐ. Yes she knows how to not just dance, but slay. Is it fair? Probably not. Do I care? Find my fucks, I dare you. This is my girl, this is my pick, this is it. The end. I’m sorry Simone, honestly I am and I wish to hell you weren’t in such a shitty position, but this is my One. Mic drop. I’m done.

The Troupe and Missing Pros

Again, sorry to see Mark absent, but he’s moved on and seems happy so good for him. I’ll miss Allison like hell and wish both her and Jenna well in whatever they’re doing next and hope to see them return at some point. Meanwhile, I’m popping bottles and toasting because #MANTISLESS24. Make it trend! Watch me work! PS- welcome to the newbies in the troupe. Mama’s spikin’ her Dr. Pepper tonight. YES INDEED!

Predictions

EARLY EXIT/THANKS BUT NO THANKS: Charo, Chris, Mr. T, and possibly Bonnor (he could go middle and surprise us).

MIDDLE OF THE ROAD/AT LEAST YOU TRIED: Nick, possibly David, Nancy, Rashad, possibly Erika (she could go lower. We’ll see if she’s more Nene or Kim).

GOING ALL THE WAY/LOVE ON TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD: Normani, Simone, Heather. Final 3, I’m calling it now. Unless they end up shocking us and letting Simone have it, I’m gonna predict Heather takes the mirrorball, Simone gets second, and Normani lands bronze. I know Amber Riley won back in season 17 and Heather winning would be the second Glee star to win, but I don’t think that matters as much as two Olympians from the same team winning back to back. That’s my prediction as of now.

I’ll be on vacation in DISNEY WORLD (yessir, let’s go Mickey) for the premiere but I will of course check out the routines online that night. I’m coming home Tuesday so within the next day or so I’ll watch the whole show and either write up something for this blog or toss out some tweets. Keep an eye out.

And that’s it! Season 24, it’s on. I thought for quite a while over the break that last season was season 24, so there you go. Big shock, I have no idea what’s going on. What else is new?

Feel free to join the discussion and hit me up on social media which has changed since last season- I am now @lauthom93 on Twitter and Instagram. You can also comment on this post, check out my ask box, or send me a message. I’m always down to talk. :)

You all know what time it is. Say it with me:

Until next time, love, hugs, and inappropriate gestures. <3

I love you guys to all the moons and back.

Get to Know the Writer Tag I’ve had this saved in my drafts for idk how long! Need to avoid doing that writing thing lol

1. What’s your favorite kind of setting to write?

Most of my stuff takes place in present day because my brain doesn’t like to create technology that makes sense? I sort of hope for the best when that happens and hope that editing will fix it later lol. I have some stuff that take place in the past but haven’t really played around with that as much. Also I seem to really flock towards a sort of ‘cop’ style or at least an organization that handles cop like work. 

2. What’s your ideal writing environment?

Where I like to write? My ass on my comfy bed in a reclined position. Three pillows to prop myself up, maybe a cat clawing at me to move my arm so he can cuddle with me. Some dope music playing (not always soothing and relaxing instrumental but sometimes), candles burning maybe with some incense (tho that’s normal too). I do write a bit at work too when I’m bored out of my mind but that’s more rushed and feel the need to hide. Never really tried writing anywhere else.  I guess ideal is just at home with some nice music and a comfy place to sit.

3. Are there any books or authors who have helped shape how you write?

Rereading Skulduggery Pleasant really seemed to have an influence on me and my writing dialog. Especially the snarky dialog like Skully and Val have. I like that sort of dynamic duo too. I also really like reading movie novelizations too. Helps me write action scenes in better words than ‘she threw a punch’. 

4. Do you listen to music while you write?

Aye yes! I always have music playing 24/7. Shit is life. I have a relaxation playlist I put on sometimes if I really need to focus. I do have a piano playlist I throw on too sometimes. Then on my Spotify I have a whole folder filled with my ‘novel wip soundtracks’ and such alike that help me write my characters. I have one with piano music that my OC Cameron is most likely to play and another one that Brad and Rose would play on their youtube channel and do covers of. I have more I want to make too but in due time.

5. How did you come up with your main characters? Did you plan them out, or did they just kind of show up?

I’ll reference ‘main’ characters as core characters because I’d consider Taren and Jason the two mains in my new wip and Brad and Rose the mains in my Time Traveler wip.

Start with Cam. Cameron didn’t always go by Cameron. When I was working on my Psychic wip, it was a fanfiction at first and Cameron’s name was actually Dennis Rafkin (from Thir13en Ghosts because I’m traaaaaash). He was already a sort of established character that I was projecting headcanons on and sort of doing what he would do in the situations I was putting him in. After a year or so I changed his last name to Radden to take away from the fanfiction aspect of it, seeing how it didn’t really seem ‘fanfiction’ anymore. Few months later, I changed his first name to Cameron and he’s been my Cam Cam ever since. He was more or less planned out over the course of a year and a half.

Now with Brad and Rose, Brad was sort of planned out. He was more or less based on Brad Sherwood from Whose Line and I didn’t really change that much about it, but sort of did that projecting headcanons on sort of thing till he was his own entity. That really showed up when I tired to change his name and that didn’t stick (like how Dennis -> Cameron did). Rose just sort of showed up. I needed a name for a character and it took a day to really settle in on a name and when I found Rosalie, it was set and done. 

Both Jason and Taren definitely just showed up. My friend and I were saying that it would be a cool idea if Christian Slater did a movie with Taron Egerton. Thus, the names. Jason came from his character JD (which it’s sort of a fanfiction by this point with how much I’m using of his background and all)  as a reformed adult. Taren is just Taron with an e instead of an o. I liked how the name sounded and it fight the character I was creating around him. He’s heavily based off of Eggsy from Kingsman but this one is also super new and a baby so I’m still futzing with it so only time can tell where this goes :)

6. Which of your characters would you most like to spend a day with? (Picking multiple characters is okay!)

Cameron! Hands down! My friend and I are super bummed that he’s not real and all the cool shit we would do with him! Go to the Ren Faire, go to holistic shows, crystal shopping, movie nights, make fun of shitty local bands, and all sorts of other things. 

Runner up would be Rose and Brad because they are a package deal and we can all just go shopping for music and listening to music on the beach or something stupid like that. Just hang while listening to music.

7. When you’re not writing, what are you most likely to be doing?

Watching movies or youtube. Wasting my time on tumblr. Making things. I make notebooks and other products based around those notebooks. Sometimes hanging out with friends. And obviously work.

8. What are some songs that remind you of your WIP(s)?

Anything by Panic! has Cameron written all over him.  Anything Reel Big Fish has Brad and Rose written all over them.

I do have playlists dedicated to my novels as a whole, not so much just one song for each or even a handful. They’re all over the place music wise. My characters all have their own distinct music styles and tastes that are both similar and completely different.  Their choices go from dad bands to ska to emo to electro swing to classical to German yodeling EDM remixes to folk to top 40 hits of today.

9. What’s the longest time you’ve ever spent working on a story?

I started working on my Psychic wip in the summer of 2015. So that’s been a three year journey. My Time Travelers started back in May of this year and my Action Heroes were just this month. The Psychic Twins have been around since March of 2017 according to their document creation date but they dont’ have a universe, so they’re just two OCs in their own world yet to be discovered. 

10. Share a line of writing you’re particularly proud of!

O dang. This is from my Psychic’s novel and has already gone through two rewrites up to this point. I’m quite proud of this scene so here’s a few lines. Probably will be a bit confusing but whatever:

“Listen, Jasmin.” He adjusted again in the chair, causing it to creak loudly in protest against his weight shift. “When Welles died, Cameron had to grow up quickly. I couldn’t dwell in the past and had to move on immediately. Because of that, it really fucked me up mentally and emotionally. I’m man enough to admit that.”
