[averagejoesolomon]

Has this already been talked about? How Rachel and Joe finally became a couple? We seem them in OOST.... not quite yet a couple and then bam. UWS they are (basically or definitely?) a couple. Do you think they talked about it or it just sort of happened? I love anything Joe and Rachel but like, actually how did they go about it?!? 🤔

Anonymous said: how do you think joe proposed to rachel :3

I wrote a little thing about this a long, long time ago, and it’s pretty darn decent.  And then @anabelsbrother made this absolutely amazing edit for it.

I’m pretty partial to the idea that they became a couple while they were on the run.  Something about bouncing from country to country, sleeping in the same bed, and worrying about the kids just finally made it all click for them.  It was an inevitability that someone finally said out loud.

[anidorikiladrataliannaisilee]

tag game

I was tagged by @thescorpioracer to answer ten questions and then write ten more!

1) What’s a hobby you’d like to pursue more?

Hmm this isn’t much of a hobby but I got out of the habit of listening to The Magnus Archives and I’d like to get back into it! I’d also like to actually follow through with learning new languages/improving at Spanish and Hebrew.

2) Favorite dish that a parent or relative makes? 

Ok this sounds lame BUT my dad has been making bruschetta lately and it is. so good. Mostly it’s just miles better than the half-assed tomato toast I was making before I moved back home and I love it very much

3) What is something popular that everyone seems to like but you don’t?

 Oooh. Reality tv maybe?? I just absolutely can’t get myself to care about it, although I’ve tried a few times. I watched a couple episodes of Love is Blind and Tiger King but never finished either. What can I say, I like plots!! Also, Game of Thrones, which I avoided on principle until my parents started watching it, and now I avoid it because I genuinely don’t enjoy it.

4) If you could suddenly just be fluent in a languages you don’t already speak, which would it be? 

See I kind of want to say something really difficult, like Russian or Mandarin, even though they’re not the languages I most want to know? Only because I feel like it would be kind of a waste to use this on something like Dutch or German or Italian. I guess I’ll choose Mandarin.

5) A small goal you’d like to accomplish in the next few years? 

This question made me realize I don’t have any small goals. Alas. I’m not a very ambitious person. Would love to think of myself as a good person again though!!

6) Right now, would you rather spend a day at the beach or in the mountains?

The mountains for sure because my entire life has been very beach-adjacent and I’m mildly sick of it. 

7) Favorite kind of weather? 

I’m way too indecisive to answer questions like this. However, when I was little, I hated when it was sunny and raining at the same time, and now I love it. I think I hated it because it made me Feel Things and tbh I don’t think I grew a heart capable of having feelings until I was like seventeen.

8) Is there a different name you wish you had?

Not really, I like Emily. But my parents were considering naming me Charlotte and I do think that it would have suited me well.

9) Favorite kind of jewelry or accessory? 

Piercings! I want to get my nose pierced and maybe my eyebrow if I work up the nerve. I already have more than a few in each ear and I Love Them.

10) Is there a book you like that had a really bad adaptation?

I mean. I feel like Percy Jackson is the obvious answer. To be honest, though, I’m usually pretty willing to divorce an adaptation from its source material, and that means I still enjoy some bad adaptations. I really liked the Percy Jackson movie when I was little! I just thought of it as something else entirely. It’s the same with Howl’s Moving Castle; I love the book and the movie but they’re pretty separate in my head. (But I’m thrilled that Percy Jackson is getting the adaptation it deserves<3) 

New questions:

1. What’s the last book that surprised you?

2. What media from your childhood influenced you the most?

3. Favorite beverage?

4. What’s something you love but aren’t good at?

5. What’s something you’re good at but don’t love?

6. Describe your ideal personal aesthetic in some detail. (yes this question is very 2016 no I do not care)

7. Is forgiving people easy for you?

8. What’s your favorite kind of puzzle or game?

9. Do you care about birthdays?

10. What’s your favorite tumblr trend of the last year or two?

I’m tagging the last few people in my activity ( @livvyluna @jennyholzertattoo @anabelsbrother @cunumicita @bakctodecember @arianwen and whoever wants to do it) to answer the questions I wrote and then write ten more for the people they tag <3
