Fan Fic Writers Questions

So @useless-fanfictions tagged me in this list of questions, and so... here are my answers! Hope you enjoy!

how many works do you have on AO3?

I currently have 50 works on AO3!

what’s your total AO3 word count?

At time of writing, I have posted 963, 691 words on AO3, but this number will be out of date by tomorrow. xD

how many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

So, on AO3 I have:

Glee

Teen Wolf (It was a Glee Crossover)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (It was a Glee Crossover)

Percy Jackson (It was a Glee Crossover)

Marvel (One of the stories here is not a Glee Crossover)

And then a bunch of like— subsections of the above.

what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Thorn between Two Roses (243 Kudos)

Gotta Secret, Can you keep it? (195 Kudos)

Clothes Maketh the Man (123 Kudos)

The New Kid (115 Kudos)

A Story is a Journey (99 Kudos)

do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I always do everything in my power to respond to comments, because I think it’s a good way to keep a healthy community going. I’m perfectly aware that there’s nothing requiring a reader to leave a comment, and thus there’s nothing requiring a writer to respond, but when you do, I find it helps build friendships and camaraderie. I met my best friend by commenting on their fics, and I know how much it makes my day when I see that people have commented and liked my fic. I like to keep that cycle going.

what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Okay-okay-okay, there was a really super freaking dark one I wrote back when Glee was first airing and I was struggling with my depression. It’s called ‘Little Lord Gay-Boy’. It’s so freaking dark, and I don’t know if I even suggest reading it, but… yeah. That one.

do you write crossovers? if so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I have been known to write crossovers, but I don’t know how crazy any of them are. I think the most out there one is still in my drafts and is Glee/Sense-8.

have you ever received hate on a fic?

I’ve been in fandom long enough that I must have done. XD My most recent thing didn’t start off as hate, but it escalated quickly.

do you write smut? if so what kind?

I have wrote Smut. It’s almost exclusively M/M, because… well, I write a lot of M/M relationships. XD

have you ever had a fic stolen?

I hope not?

have you ever had a fic translated?

I don’t think I have. Nobody’s ever told me if they did.

have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yup! I’ve wrote a couple of fics with the incomparable @nubianamy. We’re currently posting the second in a Trilogy, called Fate Will Twist the Both Of You, and are hard at work on the third story!

what’s your all time favourite ship?

Gods, this is such a hard question. I genuinely don’t know. I multiship so hard that it’s hard to narrow it down. I think the closest to all time favorite might be Hevans, but then, I write and enjoy fics where they’re not together just as much. xD

what’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I have so many. If we’re just going of AO3 though… Glee, Eventually had a sequel that I wrote a big chunk for and then just… ran out of steam. I’d love to finish it one day, but… I don’t know how likely that will be.

what are your writing strengths?

I’m very good at tricking people into thinking I have some? :P (okay, no, one of the things I get complimented on is that I’m good at witty, slightly cutting dialogue. That’s one nice thing I said about myself, and it burns xD)

what are your writing weaknesses?

I’m not the best editor. I try, but… things slip through the cracks. I’m also very aware that I can’t think about a second personal project whilst working on one personal project, because I might move on in my head and find it very hard to return.

what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

If I have to, I use google translate. It’s not the best, it’s not even good usually, but I don’t know a lot of people who speak other languages, and so it’s the option most within my grip. If someone corrects me, I’ll adjust it, but otherwise… hopefully it does the job.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Honestly, it’s hard to remember. I did some forum board RPs but I don’t know if we’re counting those. I wrote some Sarah Jane Adventures fics on Livejournal, and some Skins fics on Livejournal, but I don’t remember which came first. I think Sarah Jane, maybe? Because I met my other best friend doing that, and she inspired me to make a fan vid, and the only fan vid I made was a Skins one…. But I could be totally wrong.

what’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

I’m really enjoying writing Soul Soul Revolution. It’s the biggest project I’ve ever taken on, and I love the little community that come and comment on every chapter. And the other is whatever fic I’m writing with @nubianamy. Co-writing is so amazing, I love it so much, and I can’t wait for us to get to share all the fruits of our labor.

If you’re interested in looking up any of my fics from the answers above, my AO3 is: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Beshrew_My_Very_Heart And feel free to ask me anything about anything in my ask box! It’s always open! (I think)

Tag/Ask Game

This is a sort of Check-in Tag game thing? I was tagged by @vikingstrash, so thank you dear!

1. Why did you choose your url?

I used to have a different tumblr, and then my sister saw me on it and literally took the mouse and made me follow her own tumblr, and it made me So Immensely uncomfortable, I immediately went and made a whole new blog, and messaged all my mutuals privately to tell them I was moving so my sister wouldn't find out. As I struggled to come up with something more creative than 'time-lady," I remembered one of my mom's favorite sayings, "Reality sucks, live in fiction" and since livinginfiction was taken, my friend (who was helping with the crisis) and I added an 's.' Voila. Seven years later, it's the only username i have online. XD

2. Any side blog?

Three, actually. We've got @merthurismycrack where I reblog Merthur shit, @samspsychicpowers for some SPN stuff, and the side blog that's basically my main blog at this point: @asterekmess which is where all my Teen Wolf and Sterek stuff goes.

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

Uhhh, I've been on this blog since August of 2014, but my old blog was started in....March 2013. I've been around a fucking while.

4. Do you have a queue tag?

HA. Fuck no. Do I look that organized? Y'all get three hours of spam reblogs, and then I disappear into the aether. How it should be. XD

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

This is essentially the same as I said for question one. Sister found the old blog, and I needed a new one. I tend to make my side blogs for more pointed material, so that my main blog can have like...the amalgamation of general stuff i like, and then I can keep the fandomy content more concentrated into the side blogs.

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

Originally, I did not have this icon. I had this pic I found online with these Beautiful bronze wings against a black background. But then, around the time I decided I wanted to sort of...simplify things and make my username for my online stuff all the same, with all the same pfp's so that I was easily recognized, etc, I realized that....that picture was not mine. I didn't design it or anything. And i couldn't find its source to ask for permission to use it. And it started making me feel shitty for using it in the first place. So I spent like an hour and a half trying to make my Own Wing pic to use, and failed miserably. As a last ditch effort, i went through my 'artistic' photos on my phone and found this one. I adore sky pics, and cloud pics, etc, so it was super my thing, and I just slapped it on there. Still not sick of it. XD I also went to my side blogs and changed out the pfp's for photos that I'd taken, except the sterek blog, because that one is literally just a black triskelion on a white background, and it's a pretty non-specific thing. I would have used a picture of my Own Tattoo, but it's very hard to get a picture of my back that doesn't have weird lighting, and I'm just too lazy.

7. Why did you choose your header?

All my headers are also photos that I've taken or art pieces that I've made. In the case of this blog, it's a picture I made with a 'galaxy maker' online thingy. I love green. I love blue. Ta dah. In general i just try to find something that gives me the right vibes or has the right color palette to match what it's for. (orange and blue for sterek, trees for merlin, and wings for spn)

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

On this blog? I.....just spent two hours digging through all my posts tagged 'personal' bc i wanted the post that I MADE with the most notes...and i have no idea. I mostly respond to other posts, rather than making my own. The highest note count i can find is a post i made abt having friends that aren't in your fandom, which means you can use inspirational quotes to help them through tough times without them realizing ur quoting doctor who or something. 22 notes. *fingerguns* I'm famous, i know.

9. How many mutuals do you have ?

Is...is that a thing i can check?? or do you expect me to hand count??

10. How many followers do you have right now?

Uhghhghghgh, this blog has 439 at the moment, and i'm pretty sure not a lot of those are porn bots, bc i usually screen new followers for it. a lot of them have come over from my sterek blog though.

11. How many people do you follow?

hehe....uh...36.....one of which is my husband....

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

I don't even know what the requirements for something being a 'shitpost' are....but i think no?

EDIT: I Take it Back, I just found a post I made with "Hot Take: PIneapples are an honorary citrus fruit" and I believe that counts? So YES.

13. How often do you use tumblr?

Uh, nearly every day, multiple times a day. Sometimes i forget it exists for a couple days, though. It's my only social media. I dont use twitter or facebook or instagram. I Have Accounts, but I literally dont open those apps more than once a month.

14. Did you have a fight /argument with another blog ? Who won?

My sterek blog gets in fights more often than it should. XD I'm feisty. And I dunno who wins, i think no one. it's tumblr. there's no real winning or losing.

15. How do feel about “ you need to reblog this” post?

Oh 90% of the time I'll fucking ignore it on principle. I come to tumblr to enjoy myself and escape. I refuse to guilt the shit out of myself and my followers for not reblogging something deemed Essential. I don't care how deep the topic is or how heavy. Sometimes that's WHY I'm not reblogging it, because I don't want that shit on my blog. The other 10% of the time, I'll go to most recent reblog that Doesn't have the guilty shit on it, and then reblog that.

16. Do you like tag games?

It sounds narcissistic, but I like being tagged in them and doing them. I just Really Really Really hate tagging anyone else.

17. Do you like ask games?

Yup, I think they're fun, though I really don't think anyone wants to know this much about me.

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

Uhhh...I have no clue. I think...I think I might be the tumblr famous mutual, or at least my sterek blog is....

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

Yup. My husband.

20. Tagged?

Uh, no one. makes me anxious. XD If someone wants to do it, go ahead and claim i tagged you, i promise no one'll call ur bluff.

#personal #tag game #go for it

AU Thursday: Tell Me Where To Find Shelter -- Layers of Victor

Saw this meme going around the #fallout4 tag a while back (I believe I specifically ganked it from @radbeetle), and thought it might be fun to do for my Sole Survivor!Victor. And my Malkavian!Alice, but let’s start with SS!Victor. XD

LAYER ONE: THE OUTSIDE

- Name: Victor Fitzwilliam Van Dort

- Eye Color: Very dark brown – it can be very hard to tell the difference between pupil and iris!

- Hair Style/Color: Black, generally combed back with two "tufts" of bangs falling over what little forehead he has

- Height: Six feet three inches (and thin as a rail)

- Clothing style: Relatively formal pre-War – he grew up in a household that impressed upon him that you wore ties and suits whenever you were in public, and often even in private. Post-War, he spends a lot of time switching between a pair of upgraded Vault suits from Vault 111 while looking for clothes that actually fit his lanky frame. He's a lot more casual in his style once he does – though he still likes a good sweater vest, and he keeps a few suits if he needs to look fancy.

- Best physical feature: Victor would personally say his hands – he's a pianist and a tinkerer, and he appreciates his long reach over a keyboard, along with his ability to finely handle delicate parts when upgrading or repairing things!

LAYER TWO: THE INSIDE

- Fears: Total darkness (as in you can't see ANYTHING – as long as there's some sort of light source, he can manage); blindness (related to previous); small enclosed spaces (being locked in a cryonic pod will do that to a guy); losing those he cares about again (he – has a lot of trauma from seeing Victoria shot, Shaun kidnapped, then trying to open Emily's pod after he finally got out, only to see her corpse half-rotted inside)

- Guilty pleasure: Pre-War, it would have been comics – he was always a little embarrassed about how much he continued to like the adventures of Grognak and the Unstoppables and whatnot after his teenage years (not helped by his mother sneering at the stories). Post-War, though, he ditches the "guilty" part – especially after meeting Kent Connolly and getting to play Silver Shroud. XD I'm not sure he has one post-War – he occasionally feels weird about how much he enjoys modifying his weapons and armor? But that's quite practical as well as pleasurable, so. . .

- Biggest pet peeve: Being rapidly promoted in organizations that he's only just joined (Preston, you're easily one of his best friends, but SERIOUSLY, dude, GENERAL?)

- Ambitions for the future: To continue keeping his little portion of the Commonwealth safe, and start training up someone with some more Charisma to be the General of the Minutemen once he retires (he's still not sure why people follow him when he's so socially awkward)

LAYER THREE: THOUGHTS

- First thoughts waking up: Depends on what wakes him up. If he's waking up on his own, it's generally a variation on "Breakfast? Where breakfast?" If someone else wakes him up, it's generally "Why are you shaking/licking me, I don't wanna get up yet." And if it's combat nearby, it's generally "SHIT WHERE'S MY GUN oh wait are they shooting at me still should find gun."

- What they think about most: All his various responsibilities – finding his son, acting as General of the Minutemen, working with the Railroad, helping the people on the settlements, wondering what the hell is going to happen between him and the Brotherhood of Steel, or him and the Institute. . .it doesn't do much for his anxiety, is what I'm saying.

- What they think about before bed: If he's not exhausted enough just to collapse onto the nearest sleeping surface, then probably what I mentioned above. He's probably up late trying to plan routes to help settlements that have called for assistance and follow leads on the Institute and whatnot.

- What they think their best quality is: Victor would consider it his willingness to be helpful whenever possible. He generally enjoys helping people, and it makes him feel better in general to help improve the Commonwealth in some small way. (Not to mention, him helping out personally with the problems of a lot of the families/communities in the Commonwealth has earned him a lot of friends for his Minutemen! A General so hands-on seems to impress people.)

LAYER FOUR: WHAT’S BETTER?

- Single or group dates: . . .this gets a little harder to answer when he was in a polyamorous relationship pre-War, you know. XD But yeah, Victor prefers one-on-one, or one-on-two in the case of Victoria and Emily. A group date puts the pressure on him to perform like the perfect boyfriend/husband, and he doesn't need the extra stress. Maybe he'd be okay with a double date if it was with some very close friends.

- To be loved or respected: Victor would rather be loved, or at least liked – though part of that is low self-esteem telling him people aren't going to respect him. (Or like him, for that matter.) It's what informs his desire to help people, at least in part.

- Beauty or brains: While Victor isn't immune to a nice face or body, he really likes having someone he can talk to about stuff. Sharing interests is fun, and he appreciates someone who will at least try to keep up with his nattering on about butterflies and robots and whatnot.

- Dogs or cats: Dogs! Victor gets along decently with cats, but he is first and foremost a dog person. He had a dog named Scraps when he was a child, and he, Victoria, and Emily were making plans to adopt one before the bombs fell. Meeting Dogmeat at the Red Rocket really helped pull him out of his post-War "almost everything I knew is gone and I'm a stranger in my own state" funk.

LAYER FIVE: DO THEY?

- Lie: Yup. Victor will tell the usual social "white lies" (even if he's not very good at them), and he's done bigger lies in the past – like not telling his parents that Emily was more than their "roommate." (Of course, that was done not to have a family blowout about him and his wife having a girlfriend.)

- Believe in themselves: Not usually – as stated, Victor has pretty low self-esteem, thanks mostly to growing up with a mother who was criticizing him and everything he was when she wasn't absent doing social climbing stuff. It's hard for him to think of himself as being someone who has worth, sadly. He gets better when he starts seeing more results of his actions in helping the Minutemen and the Railroad, and realizes he's genuinely making a difference for people.

- Believe in love: Yes – his relationship with Victoria and Emily was one of the high points of his pre-War life. He was utterly heartbroken when Victoria was shot, and Emily later died due to the life support to the other pods being cut off. But then later he meets Alice, and. . .well, it takes some time, but he manages to come around to loving and being loved again.

- Want someone: Pre-War, not really – he was in a happy threesome and wasn't currently looking to expand. Post-War, most of his life precludes wanting anyone – though he does develop a bit of a crush on Piper as time goes on. And then, of course, he meets Alice, and eventually ends up wanting her. . . (Yes, in-game I intend for him to romance Piper – and there's a chance in the AU he, Piper, and Alice would end up in a poly situation. We'll see where this goes!)

LAYER SIX: EVER?

- Been on stage: Pre-War, never officially – Nell had him play piano at some of her parties (which was always stressful, as he felt all her guests were either judging him or just hated him for being related to her), but that was as far as performing got. He of course had the speech he was asked to do that he was practicing the day the bombs dropped, but – well, the bombs dropped. Post-War – he probably will have to give some inspirational speeches to his Minutemen troops, which he will somehow get through and then go have a little quiet panic attack somewhere.

- Done chems/drugs: . . .I have occasionally toyed with the headcanon that Victor was unwillingly dosed with Psycho, or a drug like it, back in his Army days and has been haunted by the experience ever since. But other than that, not the hard stuff – Victor doesn't even smoke (he tried once – after nearly coughing up a lung, he refused to ever try again) and he tends not to drink (he's tried that too, and discovered he's an embarrassingly chatty drunk, so he doesn't typically indulge). He will, of course, take Rad-X and Rad-Away, because those are freaking necessary to survive in parts of the Wasteland.

- Changed who you were to fit in: Occasionally attempted, never stuck. He's not good at keeping up a facade. One of his most embarrassing memories is trying to ask a girl to dance at a party his mother dragged him to when he was about 16, imitating the more popular "jock"-kinda guys, and getting laughed at so much he retreated to the buffet for the rest of the night.

LAYER SEVEN: FAVORITES

- Favorite color: Blue

- Favorite animal: Dogs, butterflies

- Favorite movie: Victor will confess to a love for schlocky monster movies, so he was quite enamored of Night of the Fish Men's Revenge when it came out (he's quite excited when he sees it in the projector in Eden Meadows Cinema, and quite sad that he can only get it to play the title screen). He also enjoyed Another Day In the Monster Factory for much the same reasons.

- Favorite game: With his affinity for comic books and a secret love of roleplaying (which becomes not-so-secret once he starts Silver Shrouding), Grognak & The Ruby Ruins quite appeals to him. He likes that it has some replay value too, with changing up your party and whatnot. The action of Pipfall appeals to him too, though that time limit can be stressful!

LAYER EIGHT: AGE

- DOB: June 9th, 2050 (he was 27 and a few months when the bombs dropped)

- Day of their next birthday, they will be: His next birthday according to the game would be June 9th, 2088 – he'd be 238 in terms of time passed, 28 in terms of biology

- Age they lost their virginity: Twenty – Victor had been yanked by the Army into Canada to help with the Sino-American war shortly after graduating high school, but got some leave around his twentieth birthday to go home. He immediately caught back up with his high school sweethearts, Victoria and Emily, and ended up doing the deed with Victoria. They managed to keep it a secret from their conservative parents, fortunately.

- Does age matter: In general? Victor is willing to listen to advice from those older than he is, certainly – though he tends to take it with a grain of salt depending on their obvious biases. In a relationship? Unless one of the parties is a minor, Victor won't get involved, though bigger gaps will probably make him wonder what exactly they see in each other. (He allows this is hypocritical of him to a degree, as Alice is much older than him even taking into account the freezing – but on the flip side, she was Embraced at 20, he was frozen at 27. . .)

LAYER NINE: IN A BOY OR GIRL

- Best personality: Victor likes people who are sweet and kind, but have a tougher or sassier side to them as well. Victoria leaned mostly toward the "sweet" side, but was also pretty determined when it came to getting what she wanted from him; Emily was cheerful and enthusiastic, but if you angered her – wooo boy; Alice of course is snark incarnate, but is kind to people and generally likes helping others. Even Piper is one of the kinder companions, but doesn't shy away from sarcastic comments.

- Best eye color: Well, Victoria and Emily both had blue eyes (of differing shades), and Alice's green eyes were one of the first things that struck Victor about her, sooo. . .blue or green!

- Best hair color: I'm not sure Victor has a preference here – Victoria was a super-light brown, almost gray; Emily was a blonde; Alice has dark hair that looks black or brown depending on the light/how well cared for it is (and she says her hair was almost red when she was a kid!); Piper has dark brown/black hair. I guess pre-War he went for lighter; post-War he goes for darker?

- Best thing to do with a partner: Victor likes finding some sort of creative interest they can share, or at least do at the same time. He would sit in the living room and draw while Victoria embroidered in the afternoons; and he and Emily both played piano, so they'd often have little duets. With Alice, he probably ends up illustrating some of the stories she tells – maybe eventually they throw together a book of sorts, with Piper's help!

LAYER TEN: FINISH THE SENTENCE

- I love: Alice! And the rest of my friends too, of course.

- I feel: completely out of my depth, most of the time.

- I hide: how anxious all of this makes me – not sure how well I'm succeeding, but. . .

- I miss: the life I had before, in Sanctuary.

- I wish: that Victoria and Emily hadn't – that t-they were still here to meet the friends I've made.

#tell me where to find shelter #layers meme #sole survivor Victor #I did alter the wording of a question or two #to make them more comprehensible #I'm not sure what the original wording of the 'date of their next birthday you will be' was going for #but yeah I liked doing this #I'm not sure about the Psycho thing #especially since I have Victor has a field mechanic during his time in the Army #but on the other hand this is the Fallout verse #we know the government was pulling some shit #the movies I grabbed from the Fallout Wiki looking for in-universe entertainment #'Night of the Fish Men's Revenge' is one of the movies 'playing' at the theater in Far Harbor #and 'Another Day in the Monster Factory' shows up in poster form #it's apparently an inside joke for the character creators at Bethesda?#I mean I know who I thought of when I saw that #Final Pam approves?#queued

Feeding Cycles

Summary

Most plants in the kingdom of Gufalla feed off of human laughter as their primary source of sustenance. Roman made it so that instead of converting light into food, they convert the soundwaves produced through laughter instead. There is also magic involved, so the process isn’t completely scientific. All plants do need water to survive in some way still, because Roman modeled them after real world plants.

What is a Feeding Cycle?

A feeding cycle or feeding time is the calculated amount of laughter that a plant needs to convert over certain periods of time in order to live a long healthy life. It is similar to a diet. Every species of plant has a different ideal feeding cycle, but even those of the same species will vary. Not every plant is exactly the same. The statistic is just a general number that could produce positive results for the plant.

A plant feeds off laughter?

A plant does feed off of human laughter, yes. So, a plant technically could go to a comedy show and be completely full within a matter of minutes. However, the liklihood of a plant actually attending a comedy show by itself is 0, because most of them are like actual plants and can’t move without the help of an outside force. Also, because plants are unable to speak or tell jokes to random humans that may happen to come across them out in the wild, tickling is just the easiest option.

So, it can be any type of laughter?

It could, but the amount of energy the plant retains determines on the type of laughter. Logan and Roman conducted a study together to see what types of laughter give the best energy. If a human just randomly laughs at a joke in the vicinity of a tickle plant, the laughter retained will be 25% than if the person made the same laugh, but it was being tickled by the plant. A plant could even retain fake laughs, but at an even lower pecentage at 15%. So yes, quality and intention do play a massive part into the calculations determined by the feeding cycles. Also, some plants are picky about their laughter and retain more when one person giggles as opposed to a different person. A plant could also like soft giggles more than big belly laughter. As I said before, no plant is the same.

Do Plants know when to stop?

Yes. Roman made sure that none of the plants could go too far when tickling their victim...or at least on purpose. Some plants, like the Feather Fly Trap, get too excited and have a hard time stopping once they get going, much like a dog licking their owner’s face for seconds on end. There is also another instance where a plant may contract a disease, making the plant almost in a zombie trance state where they could tickle forever, regardless if they are full or went too far.

Do plants give breaks during feeding cycles?

Yes! Calculated feeding times do add in breaks for the ticklee or caretaker’s sake. It also depends on the plant’s bond with the person they are tickling. A plant would be much more aware of their favorite person’s state of being than say a random stranger.

How do you know when a plant is full?

The colors of the flowers, leaves, vines, etc. glow bright. The more vivid the colors, the more full the plant is. If a plant begins to flicker between different shades of it’s colors then it is either extremely hungry or starving. This is why the species of plants that do not feed on laughter are usually quite dark in contrast.

Can a Tickle plant get too full?

Yes. It is possible. It happens to the tickle plants who can’t control themselves quite easily when they are tickling their victims. (Also baby tickle plants as they are figuring out how much they can take in.) The repercussions are similar to if someone overindulged in a gigantic meal. The plant will be sluggish, have a delayed reaction time, and an extremely large dose of laughter might throw off their regular feeding cycles.

What happens when a tickle plant is starving?

The first thing I want to say is a tickle plant cannot die if they do not convert laughter for over a long period of time. Roman made sure of that. Instead, the tickle plant will go into a dormant mode. In this mode, they will begin to act like a basic plant, taking in water and sunlight. There are many plants in the Kingdom of Gufalla that act like this because they are so deep in the woods or extremely far from civilization that no one ever visits.

Can a tickle plant recover from their dormant mode?

Yup! Someone just needs to laugh in their vicinity! The laughter should allow it to wake up and smell the bacon, metaphorically! XD Then it will restrain the person gently and get the laughter it needs.

Some tickle plants don’t feed on laughter?

Yes. They are very rare species though and are usually found in dark places like caves, undergrowths, or places that never touch sunlight. All plants that fall into the lee alignment, also fall into this category.

What are the plants’ sources of energy then?

Yeah, the sides and figments are the main characters, but there is over 500,000 random npcs Roman created to live in the kingdom of Gufalla. Their purpose is to exist and also feed the plants and animals with their laughter.

What makes a plant able to feed off of laughter?

It’s a combination of science and tickle magic. Roman wanted there to be enough mystery in the world so that Logan and Virgil could find interest in it to, and not just Patton.

Is laughter the life force of a plant?

Hmmm...not quite. The tickle plants that do not need laughter to survive dissproved that hypothesis. Plants can’t get healed by laughter anymore than humans could get healed by food. This isn’t Super Smash Bros. or Kirby, unfortunately.

If some plants don’t need laughter, then why do they tickle?

All plants have tickle magic, thus all plants engage in some form of tickling. Tickle plants that feed off only water with the ler alignment, like Jack, only tickle because they want to, or think a human is being too cute and needs a tickle. They see tickling as a more recreational past time than something that needs to be done to survive. Also, not all plants that don’t need laughter to survive are lers. There are extremely ticklish lee plants that hide in the dark away from the wiggling fingers of humans.

So, not all plants have feeding cycles?

Correct. What all plants do have, however, is how often the soil around them should be watered. Always water your plants at specific times of the day so you don’t forget. And if you are forgetful, set up an auto watering system, so that all you have to do is fill it up every once and awhile.

(Will add more later.)

last movie i saw: The lighthouse. (Amazing FYI.)

last thing i googled: If we want to get literal, it was the timezone name to properly answer what time it was for me, haha.

other blogs: I have a few, but most are very inactive. @thievingsandslash, @hustlingbunny. Most notably, I suppose is my musings blog. @rpmusingsofmine

random fact: I used to play Tekken semi-professionally. Now that I am more grown up, it’s harder to play often, but I still do it as a hobby. I prooobably have about 7000+ hours on that series. :x

I was tagged by @bookishdiplodocus for this one! (Sorry about the delayed response!)

What are you currently reading? The Dark Tower - the last book in the Dark Tower Series by Stephen King

How many books have you read this year? Six so far? That kind of makes me sad x.x I just don't have as much time to read as I used to.

How have your reading tastes changed from when you were a child? Not much, honestly, I just read more widely than I used to.

Physical book or e-book? I like and read both. I personally prefer the textile sensation of physical books, but you can't beat being able to take 100 books with you on vacation for the low low weight of one e-reader.

Where do you love to read? Anywhere I can curl up with a blanket and a pillow and possibly a cup of tea. Though I do avoid reading in bed these days because it makes for bad sleep hygiene and being an insomniac means doing every little tiny thing you can to get a good night of sleep.

What is your ideal reading atmosphere? Background noise or silent? Alone or with others? My ideal is quiet - not necessarily silence - and alone. But I don't mind reading with others if they aren't interrupting me. And I've learned to tune out the background noise when I have to XD

Are you a writer? Yup!

What was your very first baby book? Oh boy... maybe it was The Pokey Little Puppy? The first one I remember really fondly was "I'll Love You Forever" (*sobs*)

What was the first book you read on your own? Not sure. The one I remember most vividly, though was Venus Among the Fishes

What has been the longest gap between books? I usually start reading a new book the day after I finish the last one, if not the same day. It's how long it takes me to read a book XD that's the question. The Fellowship of the Ring took me about six months because it was hard to get into. That's probably the longest. Although at the rate I'm getting through the Dark Tower, there's going to be a new contender x.x

What are your favourite genres? Oh gosh, Fantasy and Science-Fiction are the big ones. I have a soft spot for a really good romance (Like The Time Traveler's Wife). I also dabble in historical fiction and most of the sub genres of everything already mentioned. If it catches my fancy and keeps it, I'll read it.

What books make you happy? I like books that absorb me into the world, make me care about the characters and tell me a good story. Even if the ending isn't happy, as long as I got a good story, I'm satisfied.

What books have made you uncomfortable? Why? Uh.. I can't remember any books that made me specifically uncomfortable. Honestly, sometimes the point of books is to make you uncomfortable with something. But there was some creepy part at the beginning of the Dark Tower that just felt totally unnecessary... and inappropriate to discuss x.x

Can you read anywhere? Moving vehicle? Rollercoaster? Sadly, no. I did train myself to read on the subway while I was living in Toronto and that translated to the train while I was in England. But generally, I can't move while in motion. Airplanes are so/so, I can sometimes manage small chunks. But in the car, never!

How do you bookmark books? With bookmarks - boring, I know. But I love me a good bookmark. I have a small stash.

Policy on book-lending? You can borrow it as long as you return it in a reasonable amount of time and in relatively the same condition you took it away in. Otherwise you replace it.

Do people know you’re a bookworm? Heck yeah XD Kinda hard not to.

How well do you take care of your books? VERY. As in, I have developed a method of reading that minimizes the amount of creases that form in the book spine while I'm reading it. And I never store them in a way that might bend or warp the covers or spines.

Can you read in other languages? Sadly, no.

What is a total book turn-off for you? Women who fall in love with men who abuse them. Also women who fall in love with abusive men because they need to be 'saved' and their magic love is the only way to do it. I'm SO done with that crap.

What is an essential element of a good book? Good characters; they are the foundation from which all good stories spring.

Genres you rarely read? Horror and mystery. In the case of horror, I just can't do it. I'm too chicken. In the case of mystery, I get too micro-managey on the details and always end up missing stuff anyway, so I don't really enjoy them. I'm not huge on thrillers either, but am not opposed to giving them a fair shake.

Do you read non-fiction? Yup! Most recently The Art of War :3

Do you read reviews on a book before you read it? Sometimes. It depends on how well I know the author and where I'm learning about the book. If it's someone new to me and none of my friends have read the book, I like to get some sense of what I might be in for before I buy something.

Do you judge a book by the cover? Yes and no. I judge by the back over - IE the description of the book, and the front insert if there is one. Pretty covers are nice, and sometimes draw me to books I'd otherwise pass over. But I don't pass over books specifically because of their covers either. If it sounds like a good story, I'll read it.

Do you read cover to cover or sometimes skim parts? Almost always cover to cover. If I'm skimming the book it's bad and I probably won't bother finishing it.

Do you always finish a book, even if it is dull? I used to. But then I realized life is too short for that kind of crap. So now I either discard a book if it loses me or skim it to see if it gets interesting again.

How do you organise your books? Oh boy XD In order of favorite authors / series. I mean, basically no one can figure out where the books go except me. Not even my husband has figured out my system XD

Favourite book this year? Dune. I'm kinda shocked I got this far in life without having read it before! I’m late to the game on this one, so tagging anyone reading this who wants to do it and hasn’t already (YES YOU READING THIS UNCERTAINLY!)

Dragon Age Questions

I was tagged by the wonderful @dirthara-mama !

01) Favourite game of the series?

So, as @wardsarefunctioning, I am terrible at answering “favourite” questions. XD In all honesty, I really don’t have a favourite though. I think all 3 games have different strengths and weaknesses, but I enjoy playing them all.

02) How did you discover Dragon Age?

My close friend had been telling me about it for awhile, and then while I was staying over at her house after a party she had me play a bit of DAO on her console. Now, something you have to understand: I am pretty shit at playing on consoles. I enjoy it, but I’m terrible at it. I adored the game either way. As soon as I got home I bought it for my PC.

03) How many times you’ve played the games?

I’ve played DAO about 7 times (not including the 100+ hours I LOST), DA2 4 times in full and have a couple partial runs, and DAI 6 full runes and several partial as well. . .

04) Favourite race to play as?

I’ve already mentioned my favourite issue y’all. I do have a huge soft spot for elves. . . but I seriously love all my OC children.

05) Favourite class?

I lean towards rogue or mage usually, but it depends on my mood! Sometimes you just really want to swing a giant two-handed weapon, you know?

06) Do you play through the games differently or do you make the same decisions each time?

Some things I’ve done differently, but other things I’ve done very similarly each time. There are certain choices I always make, and in general I can’t do true “jerk” runs. . .because I start feeling horrible 5 minutes in. XD That’s not to say that I never say any of the disagreeable options. . . just not often, and usually nothing really mean? I do romance different characters though, and there are choices and options that change depending on who I’m playing. I do try and stick to a bit of character-driven rp? Which is interesting, because sometimes even if I arrive at the “same” choice for two characters, their reasoning would be worlds apart? Or alternatively sometimes they’ll have similar feelings on an issue, but their “solutions” differ.

07) Go-to adventuring group?

I try to change it up pretty regularly? I’m not sure if I have a consistent group.

08) Which of your characters did you put the most thought into?

I have something like 20 DA OCs (I have a problem. I know.). . . .but there are some that are more developed than others for sure. I’d say that the ones that I know the best in my head are: Nehnara Surana, Kyria Cousland, Beatrix Tabris, Elraen Mahariel, Evangeline Hawke, Mirabel Hawke, Svetlana Cadash, Adhlea Lavellan, Revasulahn Lavellan, Lilith Trevelyan, Esther Trevlyan, and Innanis Adaar.

09) Favourite romance?

hmmm. . . . so this is difficult because I could take this as “the one that makes me the happiest” or “the one that I find most intriguing”. . .which are somewhat different. In DAO I really loved both Leliana and Zevran’s romances. I loved Fenris, Merrill, and Isabela in DA2. My favs in DAI were Solas and Josie. Merrill is hands down my absolute favorite romanceable character; I absolutely adore her. However. . .the Solas romance is probably the one that’s taken up the most of my thoughts/ fan discussion. Probably because it’s such a frustrating romance. XD (My former girlfriend said it was because I have a voice kink, like intelligence, and am emotionally masochistic. . . which I won’t comment on. Instead I’ll think of Merrill and happy things.)

10) Have you read any of the comics/books?

I’ve read some of them, but I’ve been horrible about order!

11) If you read them, which was your favourite book?

Oof. . . .there’s a lot of things in Masked Empire that I find hugely frustrating. . . but it also has Felassan. I adore Felassan. I wish I could have had more Felassan in my life. So. There is that.

12) Favourite DLCs?

Oof. . . .hmmm, I really enjoyed Return to Ostagar? Is that weird? And the one with the castle in DAO. I don’t remember the name right now. I have lots of feelings about Trespasser of course, and Jaws of Hakkon is another one I really liked.

13) Things that annoy you.

It’s hard for me to separate “things that annoy me and could be different” and “things that annoy me but are limitations of the medium”? Like. . . I always want more choices, but they really can only offer a limited number of possibilities in a video game? Specifically speaking about dialogue choices: I wish that there were more options to disagree with characters without being a complete asshole to them? There are plenty of times were you can, but that’s what has stuck out the most to me when I’m like “I really want to say something else here” is usually when I’m being forced between “agree” or “disagree in the nastiest way possible” (and “no comment”). Those times are probably less than I’m thinking but they always stick out to me?

There are things within the lore that are odd to me, and I probably choice to ignore or skate around.

14) Orlais or Ferelden?

FERELDEN (for the dogs if nothing else)

15) Templars or mages?

Mages (and Delrin Barris. He can stay.)

16) If you have multiple characters, are they in different/parallel universes or in the same one?

They are mostly in the same universe. . . and mostly still alive. Or that’s at least true for my wardens and my inquisitors. I have a “canon” setup for DAO more or less (Nehnara Surana is my main HoF, but Beatrix Tabris, Syndis Brosca, and Elraen Mahariel all are alive and important to varying degrees. Kyria Coulsand died during the sacking of Highever :( . . .and Alyn Amell is . . .probably alive and in the Tower?). I’m not decided on my “canon” Hawke.

I’m also not decided on my “canon” inquisitor, but I know that a lot of them are all around. My Trevelyan family is very, very large. . .

I also have some non-player character OCs that I don’t talk about as much but know things about?

17) What did you name your pets? (mabari, summoned animals, mounts, etc)

Uuuuhh. . . I have too many. XD The first time I played DAO, I named the mabari Huan, because I’m a huge nerd.

Nehnara named her mabari after her late father, and Beatrix named hers Blossom.

18) Have you installed any mods?

I did for DAI with a lot of help from @thema-sal-shiral, but it was difficult as all hell for me and I’m scared to mess with it at all. Ever again.

19) Did your Warden want to become a Grey Warden?

Nehnara greatly preferred it to the alternative.

20) Hawke’s personality?

Mirabel- Purple-ish; Evangeline - Blue-ish ; Kelda - a hot mess ; Leah - Red/Purple

21) Did you make matching armor for your companions in Inquisition?

No?

22) If your character(s) could go back in time to change one thing, what would they change?

Uhhhh. . . .someone asked something similar for Nehnara Surana recently and here was my issue for answering for her: she’s really, really, super suspicious about this as an offer. There are things she want to change in the depths of her heart, but who is offering? Why? What do they get out of it? Are there consequences? There are always consequences or a price of some sort. . .

Lilith Trevelyan. . . would really like to find a way to save her two best friends from her days as an apprentice.

23) Do you have any headcanons about your character(s) that go against canon?

Yup! Look above to see my weird warden mess. I also tend to ignore certain parts of lore so. . . .

24) Are any of your character(s) based on someone?

A lot of my characters are based on parts of different people I know or have seen in real life, but not in full?

25) Who did you leave in the Fade?

I haven’t always left the same person. . .but it is usually Stroud. DX I’m sorry.

26) Favourite mount?

. . . .I have the perverse urge to say Bog Unicorn. Because I can.

As always: Feel free to ignore! Only do this if you have the time and/or inclination.♥ Love y’all!

15 for 15

Rules: Answer these 15 Qs and tag 15!

Tagged by: @hpseverussnape (thank you so much, I really enjoy tag games and getting to know everyone a bit better! <3)

Named after someone? Yes and no, I suppose? The simple answer is that my name is technically shares the same etymology as my father’s middle name, but as a feminine diminutive? But being completely honest, and bigger picture wise, there were some fairly terrible alternatives on the table - this reasoning worked so I ended up with decent first name courtesy of my mum! lolol xD I will say that another option that was vetoed in favour of said awful suggestions was Octavia, which I would have loved, too! I really adore my name, I wouldn’t change it for the world, and my username Zella is a quasi shortened version of it that I’ve been using forever! ^^

When did you last cry? Ooh, good question! It usually takes a lot to move me to tears or sadness, but that being said, I’m also really sentimental and a total softy??? So, I think the last time I teared up was watching a Christmas movie and the dog just came back home safely? If there is an animal involved, especially a dog, there is a decent chance that I will end up crying over a movie!

Any kids? Nope! Far too early in my life in my opinion for children, and I really need to focus on professional development first before I can worry about any of that! (and as much as I do love kids, I don’t think they’re in my future? Maybe I’ll just rescue shelter dogs or adopt instead? ^^;;)

Do you use sarcasm a lot? YUP! It’s really hard to resist that perfectly witty sarcastic remark, but I do believe that being kind and polite is super important, so my comments are generally never directed at anybody specific nor with any vitriol! If anything, most of the time they are self-reflexive and used as a joke! I do adore dry sarcastic humor in shows and stuff though ;P

First thing you notice about people? Hmmm... I’ve never really thought about this? I guess body language and whether they are ok with eye contact? In terms of physical appearance, probably their nose and their smile haha! :P

Eye colour? Medium brown, but much like my hair, it’s more of a honey gold in the light!

Scary Movies or Happy Endings? CAN I SAY BOTH?? I REALLY WANT TO SAY BOTH!!! But if I do have to pick, happy endings every time! ^u^

Any special talents? Depends how you’d define this? Like I can tie a cherry stem with my tongue, but I would say in terms of something more useful, it would be something piano related? I’ve been playing forever, and can learn pieces by ear, but my favourite thing is composing on a whim! ^0^

Where were you born? Western Canada! But ethnically, Dad is Chinese and Mum is Spanish! <3

Hobbies? Well, drawing, of course! But also video games, piano, singing, and baking/cooking! I love food, and I love trying out new recipes or things I come up with! ^^

Do you have any pets? Not currently, no. A long time ago, Fuzzy was our much beloved family dog. I also had betta fish, Lorenzo I and Lorenzo II, both of which lasted super long and I absolutely treasured and adored! I’m a huge animal lover, so I would like to rescue senior dogs in the future, and will most likely have a Lorenzo III as well!

How tall are you? 5′7″!

Do you/did you play any sports? NOPE! But if you count chess as a sport, I used to play competitively throughout elementary to high school! ... But since nobody I know these days plays, I don’t get the chance to practice much ;A;” I’m also really uncoordinated so I just walk A LOT for physical activity lolol xD

Favourite subject at school? If we are talking pre-uni, it was consistently history and science (chemistry and bio)! For uni, I took physiology, but my all time favourite classes were ancient Latin and Greek!! It’s not really a subject, but from undergrad and now grad stuff, I also have a lot of lab experience and love research! >0< <333

Dream job? Clinician scientist!! I really want to help people, and I think scientific research is a great way to reach so many people! From a completely different field though, I think voice acting would be so much fun, especially for video games and anime! ^^

That got long, so thanks for reading all of it haha~ >U< No pressure on doing this, of course, I just think tag games are great (and it’s especially fun to learn more about each other around the New Year)!

Meme time again!

I was tagged by the always lovely @sparkly-things, and have dragged my feet on doing it for over a week… better late than never, right? XD

1. Name? – You can call me Goodyear on here ;)

2. Age? – 29 now, though I was still 28 when I was tagged. Does that mean I’m some indeterminate quantum fluctuating age?

3. Height? – Just shy of 6’ (I’m 182 cm for you metric folks).

4. Sign? – I’m a staunch disbeliever in this sort of thing, but Aries, if that means anything to you. And Snake for the Chinese zodiac, just to be complete, I suppose.

5. Religious? – Big ol’ Atheist here. Swear me in on The Origin of Species, please.

6. Tea or Coffee? – Oh, definitely tea. All kinds of tea. Black, green, white, oolong, puerh, rooibos, herbal. Every once in a while I’ll have a coffee, usually in some dessert-like form, but it’s not really my thing.

7. Music? – Gonna be cliché with Liz and say everything, but I’ll even include country, rap, and death metal. I’ll listen to just about anything, though my favourites that I return to again and again are jazz (the kind you can dance to, please), post-rock/shoegaze, other atmospheric genres without much in the way of lyrics, and whatever pop/indie songs I’m currently digging, which is always changing.

8. Favourite Movie? – I’m also the kind of person who forgets this the minute I get asked, or can’t decide. I’m not much of a movie person, anyway. Anything Studio Ghibli is good in my books. If I have to choose individual films, let’s go with two wildly different ones. Amélie and Kung Pow! Enter the Fist. My childhood favourite, hands down, was The Lion King.

9. Employed? – Yup, but looking for work in my field, because I don’t want to be selling dresses forever.

10. Dream job? – I really feel you on this one, Liz. I’m pretty lost right now in terms of what I want to do, and feel like I’ve fucked up royally and am not really sure where to go from here. If I could be really unrealistic, I’d love to be an independently wealthy gentlewoman scientist/Victorian-era adventurer. But if we’re talking real-world, actual possible jobs in this day, age, and that I might be able to have one day, I’d say working as a curator at a botanic garden. Sadly, positions like that are hard to come by.

11. Favourite game? – Like with movies, I find it hard to remember/choose. Recently, Ghost Trick was a fucking phenomenal game that I really loved. I like the Final Fantasy games. Really, most old school RPGs are fun times for me. I can’t play anything first-person, or with really shaky cameras because I get motion sick easily. I have so much nostalgic love for game series on the PlayStation and Playstation II, as well, like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and Sly Cooper, that I played during my formative years. Ditto for Gameboy Colour games like Pokemon Blue, and the various Legend of Zelda games from that time period.

12. Favourite drink? – Alcoholic? A good single malt scotch whisky, or a gin and tonic. Non-alcoholic is probably covered by the tea or coffee answer!

13. Tattoos? – One. It’s a small one, behind my ear. I’ll give you three guesses ;)

14. Defining Moment? – Apparently @sparkly-things and I are on the same page about a lot of these answers! Probably the biggest defining moment of my adult life—for better or worse—was when, after two medical leaves and a lot of tough decisions, I finally chose to leave my PhD program. I feel very lucky to have had the support of my supervisor, lab mates, family, and partner, which allowed me to publish and turn my research work into a MSc thesis instead, so at least I didn’t leave empty-handed. I know it was the right decision, and I wouldn’t change it even if I could go back, but it’s definitely been (and still continues to be) a struggle to not see myself as a failure. It’s still having reverberations in my life to this day. I feel happier and healthier now, but less fulfilled in some ways; unmoored and not sure of what I should be doing without the purpose that academia gave me. Ugh, I’m just going to stop there before I get any more whiny.

15. Name one dessert you can’t do without – All of them? I have such a sweet tooth—any day that I can have double dessert is a good day, and I love to bake! I think, though, that if I had to choose one, it would have to be really good homemade chocolate chip cookies. There’s just something so comforting about them that simply can’t be beat.

16. Name one thing you can’t do without – Something to read. Doesn’t matter if it’s an article, a good book, a short story, poetry, an essay, fanfic, or a text-based RP, I’ve always loved reading. If I’m in a place personally where I can’t read, I’m in a very bad place indeed.

17. Name one person you can’t be without – I’m going to be that disgusting half of a codependent couple who says my partner. He’s my biggest support, my cheerleader, my friend, and I can’t really imagine life without him at this point. I mean, I can, but I can’t imagine being nearly as happy. I’m not even going to mince words about it: I probably wouldn’t be here to write this if it weren’t for him.

18. Name one fictional character you love – Ugh, don’t make me choose! Right at this moment, probably due to the latest page update, and the fic I’m currently writing, and the fic I’m currently reading, I’m going to say Ethos from Starfighter. He’s so precious. #Protect Ethos 2k18

19. Name one thing you want to do – Find something that drives me again, in my professional life. It’s been too long since I felt passion about what I spend my time doing while (barely) earning a living. I don’t need a lot of money, but I would love to love what I do again. I miss that something terrible.

20. Tagging – My usual routine. I’d love to hear what any of you lovely folks have to say about these questions, but I’m not going to tag anyone specifically. Do it if you want to! I’m totally a sucker for learning these sorts of things about people; it just satisfies a weird curiosity for me. I promise I’m not a stalker…

19. met someone who changed you: I think everyone you meet changes you, but yeah I can think of a good few.

20. found out who your friends are: I love how this assumes we all constantly get ourselves embroiled in toxic relationships we have to discover aren’t true. Like, I am way too cautious in initiating relationships for that. It may happen, but not yet. I’ve got good friends and I love them.

21. kissed someone on your facebook friends list: Ew. No.

— general

22. how many of your facebook friends do you know irl: Most all of them, but most of them not very well.

23. do you have any pets: I MISS MY PUPPER AND MY KITTEHS. Technically I have a godchild cat...or niece cat...something like that. She’s a percentage mine. XD

24. do you want to change your name: Nah.

25. what did you do for your last birthday: I spent time with family, spread out over a couple days and tbh I kinda don’t remember a whole lot. I think I watched a movie, my fam made me dinner and there were sweet cards and gifts. ^_^

26. what time did you wake up today: 9 am. I stayed up late last night. XD

27. what were you doing at midnight last night: Watching !Hero: the Rock Opera, and also getting distracted not watching !Hero.

32. something that’s getting on your nerves: Supergirl’s deeply flawed existence is a constant mood, and I’m having frustrations with a relationship that I don’t know how to solve. :/

33. most visited website: Youtube and Tumblr are probably about equal.

34. hair colour: Hehe wouldn’t you like to know. <<I second Ponty. ;) ;)

35. long or short hair: Longish. Thinking about getting it cut, but idk how short.

37. what do you like about yourself: I always seem to answer these the same way, but whatever? I like my (semi dormant?? ha) creativity, and that I’m usually a pretty patient, forgiving person. That might sound weird, or bragging, but it’s not something that comes without practice, so I think it’s okay for me to like/be proud of that.

38. want any piercings: I’ve been saying I should get my ears pierced for like ten years now.

39. blood type: I honestly have no idea, why don’t they give you this information when you get a copy of your birth certificate, or have a check-up? Seems kinda important. XD

40. nicknames: Here? “Rags” and many variations thereof. I also have a lot of nicknames irl but a lot of them have kind of petered out of usage.

41. relationship status: Single pringleeeeee.

42. sign: Aquarius I think but it has no relevance so.

43. pronouns: she/her

44. fave tv show: Fringe or White Collar or Psych maybe.

45. tattoos: I don’t have any, but if I ever got one, it’d be Needtobreathe lyrics.

46. right or left handed: Right. Which is funny because in the artistic circles I run in, I’ve often been the odd one out. XD

47. ever had surgery: I split my head open once. That explains a lot. ;)

48. piercings: Noooone

49. sport: BASEBALL

50. vacation: NYC (literally just to see shows) or the mountains somewhere or Europe, particularly Edinburgh and London. And anywhere honestly on the East coast of this country, because it’s so rich in history.

51. trainers: Shoes, right? Or people who have trained me?? I’m confused. I buy from Payless. I like Converse but who can afford them. XD I’d rather wear something sensible but stylish anyway, and the one shoe I actually care about is Oxfords. I want me a pair of Oxfords.

— more general

52. eating: I am so hungry. I’m going to swing by a cafe and eat because I have a freebie there. But generally, I love pasta and pizza and eggs and toast for breakfast. And fruit.

53. drinking: Water, tea, orange juice, Pepsi.

54. I’m about to watch: I have a bunch of things in my Youtube “watch later” list, including some talks by Jason Robert Brown. Oh! I’m going to rewatch Doctor Strange with some of my favorite peeps tonight. ^_^

55. waiting for: “Schott Through the Heart” and Lion King again. Also, the lunch rush to pass before I go to the cafe.

56. want: Actual furniture in my bedroom. It’s beginning to bother me. I just want a little desk, a little shelf, and a little nightstand like thing. I can wait longer for a proper bed.

57. get married: Maybe someday. I’m not seeking it out right now. :)

58. career: I’ve just started my first job in a theater, and though it’s not with the production process itself, I am loving it, and hoping to move backstage sometime soon. I want to have a career in theater, probably as a writer or at least writing scripts/novels on the side.

— which is better

59. hugs or kisses: hugs

60. lips or eyes: eyes

61. shorter or taller: shorter?

64. hookup or relationships: relationships. 100%. <<amen

65. troublemaker or hesitant: In a relationship?? Hesitant, I guess, if it means they/you are being careful and serious.

— have you ever

66. kissed a stranger: Nope

67. drank hard liquor: No why would i put myself through that miserable experience lol <<<saaaaame

68. turned someone down: A couple of times.

69. sex on first date: no

71. had your heart broken: Nope.

72. been arrested: Ha. No.

73. cried when someone died: Yes.

74. fallen for a friend: Again, no. Although idealistically that’s a cool way to go. :)

— do you believe in

75. yourself: To a healthy extent, I think. I believe in other things more, but I definitely believe in what I ought to be doing and how I have to work to do. I’ve gained a lot of self-confidence in the past four years, kind of a totally different person now - thank heaven.

76. miracles: I see them all the time.

77. love at first sight: Ish? Appreciation/attraction/clicking immediately can happen, and that can grow into love.

78. santa claus: He exists in every way that counts.

81. best friend’s name: I don’t know that I have one exact best friend rn. There are a handful of individuals I am super close to, and people I know I can tell anything to, and people I just love to hang out with, and I always want to make them happy. <3

82. favourite movie: Newsies Live. It counts, and I know for a fact I have watched it more than any other movie so there.

83. favourite actor: Jeremy Jordan. (woooooowwwww shooockkkerrrrrr)

84. favourite cartoon: Tangled: the Series, and Trollhunters. (Those count, right?) I didn’t watch a lot of traditional cartoons growing up. Just Disney movies.

85. favourite teacher’s name: If I say anyone other than my amazing mother who homeschooled me and my siblings, I’d have to say: Clint. He taught me how to play guitar, and he was pretty fantastic as a role model too. I loved being his student, even if I was too withdrawn at the time to properly take advantage of it or show my appreciation for him.

i was tagged by @clarz - thank you for this! rules: answer questions given by the person who tagged you, write 11 new questions of your own, tag 11 people.

i’m gonna tag some people today cuz i worked hard on this and it took a long time...whoops. no pressure XD @wellsjahasghost @tylerstitties @runicscribbles @xproskeith @anomalagous @ginevraslovegood @quicklikelight @westhallen @lozenger8 @prudence-halliwell @malecbellarke

omg i’m sorry i just realized it’s really long. this is what happens when you take 2 days to answer a tag game. feel free to skip my answers and head to the new Qs if you want! or neither! love you <3

1. Do you find it frustrating that although you know how certain things “work” (for instance, how a love interest not calling you back automatically increases your interest), you can’t help but being drawn in? Can you give me an example? (For the record, this principle describes the entirety of my complicated one-sided relationship with one Harry Edward Styles.)

Yeeeeah i feel like most things in my life approach that level of frustration tbh. I have very little self control sometimes. I’m covered in a haze of addiction, and my impulse control/temper lives on a volatile little rickety branch in my brain where there’s always a lightning storm in the distance. Okay so what I mean is (and I’m not sure i really understand the question but I’m trying), I find it extremely frustrating that I am always aware of what the outcome will be and yet I constantly put myself in the position to be frustrated and/or disappointed by it. Did I get it? Like, if we’re talkin about celebrity obsessions, or having a crush on someone (which, yeah, I guess I kinda remember what that’s like irl), I suppose I’ve come to terms with that kind of distant admiration thing being divorced from reality- I mean, it’s been a life long struggle, so it doesn’t really get to me as much anymore. Usually. The “fangirl” in me is very, very young, and I don’t really know her anymore. If I’m talking about fighting my impulses or my mental health, or like, leaving earlier so I’m not late and then angry in traffic.... that’s a bit more frustrating. I will never leave early. Why? I don’t fucking know. And it’s the Worst. Idk if that fits with your question but yeah, I know how my behavior affects my mood and I could change it, but I don’t, and I can’t help it.

2. What is the longest book or series of books you’ve ever read? Were you at a loss when you finished? Do you generally like series or prefer stand-alone books?

The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind! I love it so much. Haven’t read it in a long time, but that shit is like over 20 books and he’s still writing.. a legend. I was at a loss several times at the end of certain books that I thought were really gonna be the End, but then he made some like, spin off series a bit. So we’re good. Generally I love a good series, but there are so many stand alone books that I adore so.. I don’t know. Why am I writing so formally? This is tiresome, I’m gonna stop now. Stupid capital letters.

other series i love include everything in the tolkien universe, and of course harry potter, and also the percy jackson books. tolkien is pretty epic, to say the least, and rick riordan is fucking prolific, so hp is like, on the small side in terms of series (tho i did reread the last 2 at least a dozen times, and the audiobooks on many a long drive). also those motherfukcing maze runner books were like... there’s not that many of them, but that one i can definitely say left me at a loss. i’m still not ready to watch the last 2 movies but i hope to one day. for dylan.

3. Ever seen a therapist or gone to a support group? Did it help?

yup. i’ve seen quite a few therapists. i don’t think it’s helped in the long term, and i’m not sure it helped in the short, though there was a time i liked it because i was indulging my self analysis, but that for sure wasn’t helpful. i tried a couple cbt therapists thinking that could be a good way to go, but nothing ever really changed, so it’s hard to tell what’s going wrong- is it the therapy or is it me? idk i just think on the whole it’s got a negative color for me. i still see someone once every few weeks, but it’s a chore. this is really completely against everything i believe about therapy, btw, and i def considered becoming one when i was in university. i do think it’s beneficial, i guess just maybe not to me.

4. What is the longest road trip you’ve ever taken? Did you drive or were you just a passenger? What is your favorite road trip ritual, if you have any (the particular gas station snacks, the car games, the fights over music choices, the rest stops, etc.)?

oh my, well i’ve been on a few road trips in my life, but probably not as many as you americans do. the longest one was probably as a child, when i was about 3 or 4 my parents took us across the states, to the grand canyon (i don’t think we actually got there) in our mustard yellow vw bus. i had to be too small to remember but i definitely do (my dad’s a photographer so the boxes upon boxes of film helps): - sleeping on the ceiling in the bus like on a fucking shelf that stuck out above the driver seats. it was way too cool. - staying in a trailer park and walking over to this little building where there was some scary movie playing that had spinning wheels on fire (i think it was like some 80s horror version of rumpelstiltskin or something). i can literally picture a scene from it, just can’t really describe it. traumatizing. - playing on a beach somewhere (cape cod?) and having something nip at my little toes.

on other trips with friends we’ve shared the driving, but the most recent one from LA to vegas my friend wouldn’t let me touch the rental wheel. he thinks i’m a terrible driver. it was ok tho i got to take pictures instead.

i don’t really have a fave ritual since i don’t do much road “tripping” per se, but since i’ve lived in both toronto and new york i have done a shit ton of driving long distance, and i absolutely love it. my fave thing to do is make sure i have enough show tunes and stand up comedy on the playlist, and even some cds on back up, so i can lose my voice on the drive. usually i have some good ol’ tim horton’s french vanilla and a croissant on the side to keep me going, and if it’s long enough i usually stop somewhere for some french fries and/or a coke to wake up. god i love driving.

5. Which do you find increases more rapidly, your age or your idea of what age is old?

ugh. my age. i don’t feel old but that stupid time nonsense says otherwise. it needs to stop.

6. Do you talk to your animals when no one else is in the room? What do you say to them? Do you talk to animals you see on the street, at zoos, in your yard? How much of a face does an animal have to have to be talk-to-able? (For example, do rodents count? Birds? Fish? Cockroaches? WHERE’S THE LINE)

absolutely. i talk to pretty much fucking everything, animals or otherwise, i don’t care who’s in the room. there is no line. the line does not exist.

7. If they cooked, which dish of your mom’s/dad’s/parental figure is or was your favorite? Which was your least favorite? Do you often cook dishes your parents used to make for you for yourself now, as an adult?

welllllll my parents do cook, but over the years i came to really dislike a lot of my mom’s cooking.. habits, lets say. my dad is great on the bbq, and with all meats, but my mom is usually the organizer and most often the chef. her staples are chicken and brisket, sometimes salmon, in various ways. the problem is i’ve always been a picky eater, and tho my own tastes have branched out, my mom still thinks she needs to cook everything super plain and sometimes it’s kinda gross. like, she’ll make some fancy chicken for everyone else and throw a boneless breast covered in teriyaki sauce in a casserole in the oven for me. it does NOT taste good. but she can make a really great schnitzel, and brisket is hard to do wrong. i don’t make anything for myself the way she does it really, but my eating/cooking habits are all wonky anyway.

8. Do you ever check your voicemail? Do you answer calls from numbers you don’t have programmed into your phone?

i check it if someone left a message, why wouldn’t you? what if it’s an emergency? in fact, my best friend does not. so i guess.. that’s a thing. i for sure do not answer any call that doesn’t show a name that i recognize- even then it’s a stretch. i have to really want/need to talk to you, otherwise it’s gonna be on my terms. my phone and i have a hate-hate relationship.

9. How often do you go to the grocery store? Are you good at it? Do you have any kind of strategy or list prepared beforehand?

i go when i run out of something i wanna eat; my store is right on the corner. i basically just do the curve around the breads/fruits/veggies if i need it, then head to the aisles which i skim from the back where the frozen/refrigerated stuff is, poking in to the aisles i need to grab the shit i’ve run out of. i eat pretty much the same way most of the time so my list is in my head (which is not always a good place, but i try hard. if i forget something i go back for it next time).

10. Do movies frequently make you cry? Do you find you’re more likely to cry in the theater or at home? When people are around or by yourself?

oh hell yes. if they’re good or i’m in a mood. i don’t think it matters much where i am if it’s public or private, the cry will come if the moment is right, and i could give no shits XD

11. Have you ever seen the sun rise? Did you kind of like the weird, slightly chilly liminal space of it, or did you just wish you were still in bed?

yes i have, in so many different contexts. mostly i watch it rise because i stay up That Late most of the time (except this time of year, i haven’t seen it in a good while), wishing my ass was finally in bed going “fuck. there’s the sun again. way to go me.” but i’ve also experienced that first bit. out in the desert after a 16k hike, sweat pouring off my skin and fire burning on the surface, hissing it away. standing on top of an ancient mountain facing the dead sea, limbs aching from climbing it with the sun racing at our backs, trying to get to the top before we missed it rise. ya. sunsets are pretty, too.

so how am i supposed to think of 11 questions?? i hope none of these are from some post i saw one time, i’m gonna try to be original without rambling too much:

1- if you could go back to one major decision you made that impacted the path of your life and change it, would you? what was it? how do you think your life would be different? or don’t answer those second two questions, if you don’t want to.

2- in what direction does your belief lean (like, you don’t have to agree with my description of it, but what fits your image best):

a single/multiple divine power that controls every facet of our existence (or like, any traditional religious worldview), with or without free will?

a harmonious interconnected universal complex that directs matter and energy but is affected by our existence in said universe?

everything is just a series of random events passing through time and everything that happens, everything we do, makes the next thing happen, but it could have happened any other way as well.

do these things make sense? idk try and figure it out.

3- on that topic, what do you think happens when we die? do we go to heaven/hell or some other religious construct? do we have a soul that sticks around? reincarnation? do we just... end, and decompose, and that’s it? what do you really think? are you afraid to find out you were wrong?

4- tell me about a moment in a movie or a show that made you go all tingly inside, like, that really special tingle, and every time you see it you get those feelings again.

5- what’s your go-to method for letting out stress?

6- what are 3 of your favorite words (english or otherwise)? why do you love them? the way they sound? the way they look? what they mean? (i usually would answer this based on sound, kinda like fave color, just a feeling).

7- this isn’t so original but i wanna know- if you could live in any other period of time, in any part of the world, what would it be and why? or would you even? would you if you could choose your station/place in society?

8- is there anything you’ve ever done or ever happened to you that you absolutely never ever could ever tell anyone about? not even your soulmate or someone who would never judge you? if so, does it bother you, or do you have it tucked away in your mind and never think about it?

9- which teen wolf cast member would you get along with best? not who would you like to be in a relationship with, but who do you think you’d have the best relationship with (romantic/platonic/otherwise)? if you don’t think you know any of them well enough... which one would you bone? boooooooooone all night long?

10- do you have a talent/skill that you feel is really underrated or underused by you or others? is there something you’re really proud of but have nobody to brag to about it because nobody you know really cares at all? brag to me.

11- do you think it’s truly possible to be happy if you never have a significant other(s) for the rest of your life? could you ever be?

THAT’S ALL FOLKS. wow i can’t believe i wrote all of that shit and you read it. way to go us. thanks again, clara!

#clarz #tagging games #personal #personal info #food mention cw #death mention cw #i can't believe how much i just fucking wrote imean.....#sorry

OJ Zest, you’re such an idiot...

I said I’d try to keep up, and I am!

How Do Doors Work?? Pt I

frost-rainbowcy replied to your photoset “OJ: [deep breath] OJ: ….Knock, knock, Princess.”

Knocking and no door? ��

Right???? OJ what the hell?

purpleleopard96 replied to your photoset “OJ: [deep breath] OJ: ….Knock, knock, Princess.”

He called her princess ��

germansam replied to your photoset “OJ: [deep breath] OJ: ….Knock, knock, Princess.”

Princess omg ��

Now to be fair, her parents also call her Princesse. And Maddy’s definitely a princess....

Madeleine Moon~

stoneybalonie replied to your photoset “OJ: Good girls don’t usually get their doors taken away, Mads....”

She’s so cute

germansam replied to your photoset “Madeleine: I mean, I would, but like Sage and Nova are coming over in...”

Yes she is

She IS. Don’t think she doesn’t know she’s cute either.

Luna was oblivious and new to the world. Veri was too wrapped up in her dreams to notice anything happening around her. Maddy is a whole ‘nother story.

The Conversation that Didn’t Happen (but almost did)

germansam replied to your photoset “OJ: Good girls don’t usually get their doors taken away, Mads....”

BUTTERCUP (also those tags)

purpleleopard96 replied to your photoset “OJ: Good girls don’t usually get their doors taken away, Mads....”

The tags though

I’m sure that dress has been debated to death in the Pastille household... I’m sure OJ has lots of his own thoughts on it as well. None of these thoughts are appropriate to share with Kabi, though, so alas. They will go unsaid.

For now.

OJ Zest, the Best

frost-rainbowcy replied to your photoset “OJ: Good girls don’t usually get their doors taken away, Mads....”

OJ TRYIN' TO BE ALL SMOOTH

AND HOW FAST HE CRASHED AND BURNED.

frost-rainbowcy replied to your photoset “Madeleine: There’s no door. OJ: I noticed. What’d you do this time?...”

OJ wears shoes on the bed. Tisk tisk. lmao

He does. A trait both Kabi and Maddy are not fond of. JUST TAKE OFF YA DAMN SHOES, OJ. JUST TAKE THEM OFF.

simphonics replied to your photoset “OJ: Okay, I know what you’re thinking. That could have gone a lot...”

I love him

germansam replied to your photoset “OJ: Okay, I know what you’re thinking. That could have gone a lot...”

He's precious

He appreciates your love ;)

ghostey replied to your photoset “OJ: Okay, I know what you’re thinking. That could have gone a lot...”

omg he's such a dweeb i love him (i've never commented before but hi i love your storytelling and sims :')

<3 I’ve seen you liking before! <3 THANK YOU~!

purpleleopard96 replied to your photoset “OJ: Oh… You know. The usual Saturday hangs. Madeleine: So like… shitty...”

Convince her, use the eyebrows

(Maddy probably wouldn’t fall for that tho)

dangerouslydarksublimewriting replied to your photoset

Finger gun and walk away. Yup, somebodies reaaly smooth XD

He’s.... He’s a giant dweeb, okay? He can’t help himself. At least he knows he done fucked up.

How Do Doors Work?? Pt II

beccalovethings replied to your photoset “OJ: Thanks for listenin’, buddy.”

I love Oj but he should have walked a tad further from her room. She could literally see him having a conversation with cork

simphonics replied to your photoset “OJ: Thanks for listenin’, buddy.”

OJ. SHE DOESN'T HAVE A DOOR

RIGHT? They JUST had this conversation. OJ plz.

simsplyirresistible replied to your photoset “OJ: Thanks for listenin’, buddy.”

buuut she's into it

Maybe he wanted her to hear! :O :O :O

germansam replied to your photoset “OJ: Thanks for listenin’, buddy.”

How can she not love him tho???

purpleleopard96 replied to your photoset “OJ: Thanks for listenin’, buddy.”

I love them so much

It’s hard NOT to love DJ Zesty Boi OJ Zest. Maddy finds him hilarious, but does that translate to love?

Welcome to the Socialbunnies Harbor

Now with your new favorite model of ship!

ALL IN FAVOR OF KOJ~

mdebunny replied to your photoset “OJ: Okay, I know what you’re thinking. That could have gone a lot...”

It's official. I'm in love with OJ too. I still want him to be in a nerdy couple with Kabi though.

dangerouslydarksublimewriting replied to your photoset “OJ: Okay, I know what you’re thinking. That could have gone a lot...”

@mdebunny I second that

Only two today. Although I know @simphonics is on this boat as well....

ALL IN FAVOR OF MOJ~ (or Jaddy, I guess? I’ve been calling it MOJ)

purpleleopard96 replied to your photoset “OJ: Y-yeah… Well, you know… If you change your mind… Madeleine: Yeah,...”

Shipping forever

germansam replied to your photoset “OJ: Y-yeah… Well, you know… If you change your mind… Madeleine: Yeah,...”

I ship it

LINES HAVE BEEN DRAWN!!!!

TBH, I think the most important ship, as per Caitlin, is OJ x HAPPINESS. Also Kabi x Happiness and Maddy x Happiness. Maybe they can all be happy together.

There’s plenty of relationships and shipping to come guys. It’s DAY ONE of a YEARLONG story :D who knows who will date who, who’s already dating who, who already dated who...............................................................................

Spoilers? ;)

dangerouslydarksublimewriting replied to your post “Iiiiiiit’s... REPLY TIME!”

I love the response you gave me. It was beautifully thought out and I'm down to watch them do that, ya know? As someone who plays D&D, I personally play an elf rogue [imma multi class into druid when my group levels], any way I bet Kabi's a great DM

Kabi’s a pretty okay DM! Better than Ries for sure!

Most D&D scenes will be short and sweet, I think, but there’s a shot of them tomorrow. I want to get into the meat of the generation and not dawdle too much <3

You guys read this far so....

Poor Kabi....

#reply #nonsims #I can't tag you guys all down in the bottom these days it's a lot harder to remember #pp extra
