What makes you laugh?
Really bad jokes. I once met a man who, upon first meeting, rattled a few off. It set the tone for the rest of the time I was with him.

Is your kid still being nocturnal? How are you doing?
Hi Miro! The first night he fell asleep on his Legos at like 930 but woke up the following morning and immediately insisted it was his bedtime again and we needed to tell him “good night” instead of “good morning,” and also that he was not going to school with his diurnal friends.
We managed to negotiate a temporary detente by agreeing that he could try to be nocturnal again on the weekend, but now the weekend is rapidly approaching and I fear our debt is about to come due. 😂
I hope you are doing well, too, and enjoying the summer so far! 💜

Some asks :)
1 what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?
24 what’s one thing you’re proud of yourself for?
26 fave colour and why?
26b most used yarn colour?
1. 3 things that shaped me into who I am...
Teachers: I had some excellent and supportive teachers growing up that I didn't want to disappoint. Between them and the work ethic I inherited from my mom, I made my academics a large part of who I am and always strove for straights A's when I was in school. Although I'm no longer taking classes for anything, I've brought that desire to perform well to my work.
Fantasy: I'm cheating by putting a genre here, but I read A LOT growing up. It was a few stories in the fantasy genre that made me realize that reading wasn't about what the school curriculum decided would be the most educational and enriching. It was about journeys, escape, seeing something from another perspective. And yes, the obvious one is in this list but I also read a lot of Tamora Pierce, and Madeleine L'Engle (though that's probably more along the lines of sci-fi).
Team sports - I was in softball and synchronized ice skating, so that gave me the heart for teamwork and accomplishing something together. I was also in the girl scouts, so that contributed too.
Obviously there are others, but those are some things that established a few of my core values very early on.
24. One thing I'm proud of myself for...
It actually is my crochet. It's one of those skills that keeps on giving since there's so much you can learn within the craft. And I know there's a niche of the craft I can say honestly I know I'm pretty good at. I'll be humble over everything else, but the thread work was something I picked up on my own, learned through tutorials I found myself and just gave a try. There's always room to grow the skillset, but right now that's one thing I am proud of and how I feel unique in the crafting space. Now the interest in doilies however is a different story. They are not a quick turnaround to make.
26. Favorite color and why
I like a lot of colors for different reasons, so I probably need this to be more specific 😁. Just based on aesthetic my favorite color is blue, and I like anything in the spectrum of blue. In clothes, I gravitate towards burgundy - it was my school colors twice, so I have a lot of hoodies in that shade. For you all, 💚💛. Can't forget those.
And 26b- when it comes to yarn- also probably blue since I am not making clothes all that often. I do have a lot of doilies in burgundy and purple since I made those for the table centerpieces for my wedding (and those were the colors), but if you remove those my Instagram tends to keep coming back to blue. I use everything, though. Brights, pastels. The one shade I don't see a lot of in my crafts or stash is brown.

Do you think the Maribat fandom has any problems?
Of course it does. All fandoms have their own issues. It’s to be expected really.
But that doesn’t automatically mean the fandom is “bad”.
There are bound to be toxic people in the fandom, that’s just life. But it be such a waste to only focus on them.
Rather, within our server, we like to focus on how to better the fandom and make it more inclusive, improve events, focus on small creators rather than give all the attention to big names, and give our members a voice.
So maybe the fandom does have problems, but we work to fix them and create a place that allows you to escape from them and fix them.
Thank you for your ask! Feel free to leave another and -> Join Today!

What’s this about trifles and parsnips?
THANK YOU FOR ASKING @asquared-ohgodnotthehorrors AND ALSO A+ NAME.
It took me until, like, last month to realize that my username could suggest that this is a shared blog or whatever. The real origin is both mundane and self-referential, as most things are.
I'm one of those tumblr cryptids who've never changed their username or icon; I came over to tumblr after spending some time lost in the wilderness after the big fandom exodus of Livejournal. So trifles and parsnips refer to my two main LJs at the time, whose names I quite liked and wasn't ready to give up entirely.
trifles was my username for the personal LJ I'd been keeping since college, named for a bit of poetry that resonated with what I was trying to accomplish then (and, I suppose, now):
Think naught a trifle, though it small appear:
Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,
And trifles life.
(The poet is Edward Young, writing in the 1720s-- which suggests that I have Always Been Like This.)
The parsnips LJ was a journal for posting fanfic and such, disambiguated from my personal LJ so that elderly family members who read the one would really have to work to reach the devil's sacrament at the other. That one I named for the proverb "Fine words butter no parsnips." (The earliest attestation of which, I have literally just discovered, is from 1639 why do these centuries haunt me)
Then the AO3 came around and "parsnips" became my main pseud, with "trifles" being the one I somehow decided to use for the rare-fandom Yuletide exchange, back when it was shiny and new and not yet migrated to the AO3. When it did migrate, though, those two names became more thoroughly linked than they'd really ever been on LJ, so when I came over to tumblr I just said to hell with it and tied them together for good. Leaving us here, now, ta da.
--All this, by the by, also slightly explains why, when referring to myself in the 3rd person in meta or whathaveyou, I say stuff like "but trifles, where's the 18th-century soap", but often when posting fanfic I'll go for tags like "triflesandparsnips writes things".
------And as an entirely extra bit of information that is not at all relevant to my naming conventions but is nevertheless something I wish to share for reasons that will soon become apparent: My favorite kind of birthday dessert has, since college, been trifle. Whose recipe, under the actual name "trifle" and not just "a layered cake thing", is first recorded in 1585 because of course it fucking is.
#ask box answers#about me!#anyone who has spent any time listening to me talk about SYLLABUB will also find a SURPRISE in that link about trifle-the-dessert#I WAS CERTAINLY SURPRISED#...but tbh I'm glad to see these threads of continuity in my life#I like these little interests of mine#I'm glad I've kept them

Corpse Disposable
I think it's Weasel cuz it is furry and my employer that I'm legally not allowed to name, doesn't have a lot of assets with fur. Just uh... Ignore the fact it's headless.
( from @notanemployeeatbellereve )
(occ: Sorry I screwed up the first ask)
Uh, wait just a sec. Are you sure it's a weasel? It's too big. Looks like a damn werewolf to me.
…"Weasel." The Weasel? The metahuman that allegedly went on a rampage and killed 27 children?

What is some good advice you have received?
"Always leave a good first impression" or "Home is where your heart is." It's corny, but my heart belongs with my friends, and whenever I'm with them, I feel like I'm home.

Your writing is such a balm, love. Thank you 💗💗
@stinastar 💜😭😍😍😭💜 thank *you*, friend! This was the kindest thing to find in my inbox.
It’s been a bananas few weeks of 70+ hour work weeks and all kinds of things going on personally as well, so writing and tumblr and everything else has been falling off and I’ve been feeling sad about it. Seeing this brought me such a bright spot of joy.
I hope you are doing well and having the loveliest of weekends. 💜

77. Do you have a favorite scene you’ve written from [Fanfic Name] story/chapter? 😁💚💛
Hmmm... I've never written anything called [Fanfic Name]. Which I have to say because you handed it to me. But for everyone else, Nutty messaged me to say it's for all fics.
So that now makes this job much much harder.
I think I do better with short scenes and brief moments. So I actually immediately think of my FishTank one shots. This one:
Directionless - one whole scene that I think nailed what I was trying to do with the characters, set a beautiful background, and really captured that edge of adulthood theme. There's a good balance of dialogue but it's still got some of those good descriptions.
"I've always found it calming up here," Virgil tells him. "A beacon to guide you home and all that." He says it casually, but Gordon can hear the edge of wistfulness in his voice and a tone that speaks of a creative mind scattered between the current moment and colors and shades and emotion through images. Or perhaps Virgil hears a distant song only he knows. Gordon's heard that tone many times, Virgil in the zone. Missed it even, on all those long semesters away.
And it is a very pretty sky.
It means a lot to me, the message and support Gordon receives from Virgil, so it's one I am proud to have written.

Dearest, Darling... Are you trolling for compliments?
We're past the 'I'm too shy to talk to you but let's be friends" stage... And I predate your content SO. Those don't count. But everything else really. ALMOST BLACKOUT MY DEAR. The Romantic Love is a nod to the muses, the platonic is for me. Xoxoxo.
