#as opposed to pokémon [thing] it's just [thing] to me. bc i already said the word pokémon once in a separate tag!

[goldensunset]

no using a variety of tags or even using the most popular ones if other pokémon fans want to find my blog and posts on this site they have to follow a string through the labyrinth. if it's meant to be it'll be

[itsbenedict]

so, i got tagged in two separate answer-questions-then-tag-people memes by two different people (thanks @mistytpednaem​ and @eternalfarnham​!) while i was sick, and there’s some overlap so i’m just gonna answer both at once (combining dupes and ignoring a couple boring/obvious/take-too-long-to-answer ones) and of course not tag anybody bc most of them are pretty standard questions i already know about most of the people i might want to ask them

Nickname: zero still calls me SC, from my old chumhandle, but i don’t think that’s a thing anyone else calls me by? i still answer to it tho

Height: 5′11 AND A HALF’’ SO IF YOU ROUND UP IT’S 6 FEET

Relationship status: single but still not really in a place in life where i can do a relationship properly. followers of this blog will be the first to know when i’m ready to mingle

Last thing you googled: “we took the liberty of seeing to your teeth”, which successfully uncovered what i was looking for

Favorite colors: this one’s actually kind of good because it forces me to say some things that aren’t jokes about how obviously the answer is blue. you know what? yellow is pretty alright! i wouldn’t be opposed to incorporating some yellow highlights into my ensemble, it’s a good offset for the various blues. makes everything pop. shit yeah

Last song you listened to: this remix of the eleventh doctor’s action theme, which was always my “unspeakable power trip” jam, but fuck this version turns it up to- uh, up to- fuck, um. some number. whatever.

Favorite music artist: probably still caravan palace, but i’ve been listening to hawaii: part ii over and over (i’m trapped. i’m trapped. i’m trapped.), and FUCK i love every song on that album and also and especially variations on a cloud, and idk because�� ミラクルミュージカル technically isn’t tally hall, it’s a side thing, but is tally hall like that and should i listen to them y/n

Song stuck in your head: wait, shit i just answered that last question. variations on a cloud, it’s just. on top of being like a medley of the rest of the album (and i love me some medleys), it has this feeling of being on a good trajectory through temporary tragedy that i’m all about. and of course, every time i get the earworm out, i think... why don’t we ♪keEP IT COMING BACK, AND COMING BACK, AND COMING BACK

Favorite TV show: Favorite anime is either Baccano! or Steins;Gate, favorite currently-running show is... I guess SU because there’s actually nothing else on I’m watching right now, and SU is still very good. For live action stuff it’s gotta be Buffy, although it might get dethroned when the rest of ASOUE comes out on Netflix

Last movie you watched: One Piece Film Gold. Nothing special, standard OP movie fare- but the soundtrack was unutterably baller and I really need that english version of Gold and Jive, wheRE IS IT, I CAN’T FIND IT (also, carina was great and so were everyone’s outfits for the most part.)

First fandom: Pokémon, specifically PE2K circa 2001, and the less said about my early fandom days the better oh GOD ‘#piledrives Past Me through a window’ tag is out in full force for that recollection

What you’re wearing right now: my hpmor World Optimization t-shirt, a plaid button-up which isn’t buttoned up, and plaid pajama pants. none of it is blue because all my blue stuff is in the laundry, don’t look at me

Favorite book: i honestly don’t read enough actual physical books to have an informed favorite. the last dead tree product i consumed was Too Like The Lightning and that was some good shit right there. if you include web novels, Worm in terms of finished stuff, but Unsong will probably dethrone it when it’s done

When you created your blog: i leveled up to Level 5 Super Schmendrick like less than a week ago, so a little over five years. god damn

Worst thing you tasted: i’m so bad at food that this is impossible to narrow down. the only thing that’s actually made me vom in disgust was a literal vanilla cream puff, but that was more a texture thing tbh

Hogwarts house: hiss hiss motherfuckers

Favorite place: i don’t know if there’s anywhere i’ve lived that i’ve actually liked enough to call my favorite, but my best living situation i’ve had so far was actually probably my shitty not-actually-a-living-space apartment in Chicago

Pokémon team: hard to pick but, hm. probs an Eggdrasil in there somewhere. golbat, gengar, darmanitan, ludicolo, alolan exeggutor, and... hm. can’t decide between exploud or electrode.

Favorite characters: funny assholes, loudmouth brats, jerkass losers, narcissists, egregiously hammy manly men, cackling mad scientists, aaaaand Garnet for some reason

Blanket count: just the one
