Favorite books? Also, I have to ask: hottest classics take? 😹

(And the right answer was socks. At least in my own autistic brain lol)

Oh dear. I don’t really know if it counts as a hot take but I feel like we don’t talk about Northanger Abbey enough. It’s my second fave Austen and I feel like most people kinda skip over it. Or maybe that Wealth of Nations is kinda dumb to still be working off of. See that would have been controversial at my high school but I don’t think would be that much in the world at large. 😂

As for all-time favorites…Skulduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy, LOTR, Austen, PJO, Les Mis, anything by Marie Brennan, Ender’s Game/Speaker for the Dead, Scarlet Pimpernel, I was a huge fan of redwall as a kid. I was a big N D Wilson fan and I maintain he’s a great writer but he is very much a fundie and I’m sure his works are far more riddled with him and his dad’s bullshit than I remember. It’s been a minute since I read it. Definitely can’t recommend anyone read and OH MY GOD DO NOT BUY HIS SHIT. Don’t even google him tbh it’s noooot worth going down the rabbit hole.

Going back further I was Way Too Into the Nancy drew/Trixie belden/hardy boys books too. There’s a lot more but I’m high and typing is hard 😆

[yearofthetiger25]

Birthday: 9/25

Fave color: I like purple, any cool toned color works too.

My height: I think it's still 5ft 8in.

How many pairs of shoes: 5-6 though some of them are heels that I only where for special occasions.

Favorite song: it's hard to choose but lately I've been listening to Wonderland by Ateez.

Fave movie: LOTR extended, Detective Dee movies.

Ideal partner: Someone that can be like my best friend and a romantic partner at the same time. I want us to get along naturally and have fun.

The process feels intimidating so I would either adopt of just continue raising kitties 🐱

I've never had issues with the law.

Color of my socks: navy blue, teal, and white patterned slipper socks. They're warm.

Fave types of music: Kpop, Jrock/Visual kei, the OST music from the Chinese dramas I watch, Jazz.

amount of pillows: 3-5 I stack some behind my head for neck support.

Sleeping position: I sleep on my side while hugging a pillows or a plushy.

I don't like having lights on or getting too cold in my sleep.

I've tried Archery a couple times but my arms hurt afterwards.

Fave fruit: Strawberries, guava is also good though the juice is really sweet.

Little white lies maybe, but it still doesn't feel great.

Personality type: INFP-T

Innie.

I'm right handed but when it comes to painting my nails I'm good at being ambidextrous.

Fave food: I like meatloaf 😊

Fave foreign food: Korean fried chicken, Thai green curry if it's made mild enough, sushi 🍣.

Clean or messy: because of my ADHD it's "organized chaos" it may look messy but I know where everything is.

Most used phrase: these days I say "whatever" a lot.

Of course I talk to myself, I also make up scenarios in my head a lot because I'm creative. I do plan to write some of them one day when I can get motivated enough to sit and do it.

I can usually get ready in 5 minutes unless I get distracted 🙃.

Do I sing to myself: not really, I sing along to the music I'm listening to.

Am I good? Yes I think so but if I were to sing and move around at the same time....my voice stability needs work 😅

biggest fear: I hate wasps/hornets because they can sting as many times as they want, they are jerks that way.

Gossip: I'll listen in but not really participate or spread it around.

Hair length: goes to the top of my chest past my collar bones, and it's dyed Burgundy.

Fave school subject: history, music, science was fun too.

I'm more of an introvert but once I open up to or feel comfortable with someone I'll be more talkative.

Sudden loud noise and trying to get through crowds makes me nervous. It's overstimulating in a bad way.

First crush: Aragorn and Arwen from LOTR, it explains a lot.

number of piercings: one on each ear.

Number of tattoos: so far zero but I do want one at some point.

Running speed: I can run fast but not far, I run out of breathe really quickly.

Hair color: naturally it's dark ash blonde but I've been dying it Burgundy for about 7-8 years now.

Eye color: grey

What makes me angry: I feel frustrated at myself if I feel like I can't get people to understand what I say, people that are impatient or rude to staff annoy me, haters in general.

Yes I like my name, it's not a super common one, at least not how mine is spelled.

I still just want cats, having kids sounds intimidating.

My strengths: I'm good at learning new languages and speaking them without having an obvious American accent.

My weakness: I get embarrassed if I find out I'm wrong but I'm still willing to admit to it. I can worry easily about things.

Bed color: dark purple and turquoise, fuzzy blankets in lighter shades of those two colors.

Room color: still white right now but i want to paint the walls a pale lavender color and have mint colored bedding.

tag game: get to know me!

thank you so much for the tag @svintsandghosts ! ♥

[aelaer]

Animal au! (Can be shifter etc): Tony is a ferret (or tiger), Stephen would be a saltwater crocodile.

For those MCU fans also familiar with more obscure LOTR lore, this could be considered a birthday gift :P

Anyway, my serious fics haven't been writing themselves for the last three weeks or so, and this is the oldest fic prompt I have in my ask box. And uh, yeah, I don't think I can do a serious take on this. So silly/fun it is. No idea if the original prompter is still around (I think ask is from the summer), but here is my take on it!

(assume alternate first meeting in this fic)

Magical Mishap

Chars: Stephen, Tony (and FRIDAY)

Length: 1500 words

Rating: Gen

I'm going to kill you, Stephen Strange's furious voice blast through his head and wow, that was weird.

Tony opened his mouth automatically to retort, but all that came out was this weird chirp-like sound. He wrinkled his nose (and he could see it now, that was intriguing) and instead thought towards Stephen. I thought you had an oath of some sort, Doc. He'd only met the doctor-turned-wizard a few times, but the killing discussion had come early on (life of a superhero and all).

Funny enough, Stephen growled—as in, he was thinking at him and actually growled, deep and low and it was the most fucking terrifying thing he had ever heard—it's very hard to remember my oath when my mind's being slammed by the instincts of a goddamn alligator smelling the fresh meat of a rodent!

Crocodile, Tony thought back at him as he scurried up the table leg and well out of reach of Stephen's incredibly horrific line of teeth. And ferrets are part of the weasel family.

Stephen growled at him again and Tony's little ferret heart started thumping in instinctive terror. I told you not to touch anything! Anything! came from the sorcerer-turned-crocodile.

I didn't know that included the books! he shot back.

It included the books! The croc snapped his teeth, then he heard Stephen sigh in his head. I don't know when Wong or anyone will happen upon my study again, and frankly put, I'm not sure how long we can wait before animal instincts override proper thought and I decide just to eat you. We need to reverse this now.

Tony looked around from the table for a good shelf to jump to. I could just remain out of reach until someone comes around; that shelf's rather high. Could ferrets make that jump? He had no idea, but it was worth a shot. He was feeling rather jittery and it looked like a fun jump.

Not willing to take that risk, was Stephen's terse answer. Here, we can do this. Can you still read?

He looked around the desk until he found something in English. Seems so. His glasses connected to FRIDAY were on the ground with the rest of his clothes. At least they were still intact; Stephen's normal clothes were completely destroyed, and the Cloak was curled up by a hearth near the foyer and nowhere near this room. Maybe it could have helped.

He wondered what FRIDAY was seeing. Was FRIDAY alerting anyone? The only person Tony had any phone number info for in this weird group was Stephen at this time, and that had been a hard enough nut to crack. Still, after this he would make it a point to get Wong's number.

That shelf looked really interesting. He wanted to jump to it.

Tony Stark! rang loudly through his head and he blinked and peered at the reptile.

No need to shout, he grumbled.

I called you three times, was Stephen's answer. I need you to concentrate and try to remain in the human part of you. What is the page number in the book you just read?

The page numbers weren't in an alphabet he knew. He missed FRIDAY. Uh, it looks like a sideways six and eight.

Seventy-four, Stephen said. Okay. Now I need you to shove the book off the table.

It turned out that pushing a four-pound book when one weighed only three pounds was incredibly difficult. Still, he managed it, and the volume went to the floor with a heavy thump.

Stephen somehow managed to turn the book the right side up with his snout, but that's where his dexterity ended. I can't get to the right page. I need you to come down and turn it to the correct page.

His little ferret heart started pounding in fear again. Are you crazy? Tony snapped. You just said you were fighting against the want to eat me!

And that will only get worse the longer this continues! he retorted. Look, I'll back away as much as I can. Stephen, to his credit, did, but there was only so much room a ten-foot crocodile could back up in his study.

Tony sighed in his head. Yeah, okay. Fine. Don't move, or I'm going to the shelves to wait for Wong or another one of your wizard buddies.

Sorcerers. Another growl went through the room.

Don't do that, either! He scurried off the table and to the book. It turned out that ferret paws were nowhere near as useful for page turning as human hands, but they were a far cry better than what crocs had.

His animal instincts were going absolutely insane with the call of danger as he flipped through the pages as fast as he could. Tony stilled when Stephen shifted, but he didn't move his feet, so Tony remained on the floor flipping and flipping until he saw the sideways six and eight again.

He fled to the shelves and jumped and scrambled up until he was on top of the bookcase. Okay, I'm good! Tony called down.

Stephen sighed. You might regret your position. He walked back to the book.

I'm further from the crocodile and I absolutely don't regret it, Tony retorted. It was nice up here. Ooh, could he jump to the table from here? No, wait, that was against what he accomplished climbing up here in the first place. Stupid weasel brain.

I don't think I can say words aloud like this, Stephen mused to himself. I haven't done silent spellcasting of this sort, but I believe I can manage it.

There was then a heavy silence and in about fifteen seconds Tony began to feel the same weird shift he felt when he was turned into a ferret.

Then he realized just how infuriatingly right Stephen was when his three pound body turned into a 170 pound body and the bookcase was having absolutely none of it. It toppled over, spilling him and all of its books onto the carpet.

"Ow," Tony moaned.

"I did tell you so," said the very annoying wizard. 

Tony frowned in his direction, which only increased as he realized something. "Hey, how come you have clothes on already? I thought they were all ruined, Hulk-style." He started pushing the books aside to see if his clothes managed to avoid the bookcase, at least.

"Magic," was the very annoying answer, but Stephen did magic the bookcase back into its position so Tony didn't have to pull it up, at least. "Oh, found your glasses."

"Gimme," he gestured, and they were floated over. "You there, FRIDAY?" he asked.

"I'm here, boss."

"See the whole thing?"

"Yes, boss. I'm afraid I had no sort of protocol for dealing with this sort of situation. Should I have called one of the Avengers?"

Tony found his clothing after several more books were moved by he and Stephen. "Uh, no, no, you were right to wait to assess the situation for a few minutes." He shimmied on his boxers, then pants as Stephen politely pretended he didn't exist, public locker-room style, as he sent all his books back to the fallen shelves in whatever categorization he had going. "Next time, we're gonna have a phone number of another wizard—"

"Sorcerer."

"—sorcerer to call in case of magical mishap." He shot a look at Stephen. "Seriously, in case you do more work with us beyond this consulting you've agreed to, we'd want a number in case you're hurt, anyway."

Stephen sighed, but acquiesced with, "Fine. I'll see if Wong agrees to it."

Tony nodded and pulled his shirt over his head. "Oh, and FRI, delete all footage of the incident." No one needed to see him like that. Especially that ending.

"Yes boss."

Stephen frowned at him. "You're recording?"

"I record everything with these glasses."

The frown deepened. "Don't expect it to work in here for all future visits."

Tony now frowned. "I can stop it when you ask. There's no need to be an asshole about it."

"And you didn't need to be a douchebag who secretly records things," Stephen retorted lightly, still sorting his books.

"My glasses aren't very secretive. You've heard me talk at FRIDAY before." He sat down and pulled on his socks, then shoes. "I figured you knew."

"People don't normally record their whole life."

"Have you never been on YouTube or something?"

Stephen sighed. "You're really irritating."

"That makes two of us," Tony retorted, but he threw the wizard—sorcerer—a bone. "I'll cut the recording. There, done." He leaned back in the seat. "And I won't look inside any books anymore. Lesson learned."

Another sigh, but Stephen stacked the remaining books that needed sorting in a pile (with magic, of course) and took a seat at his desk, across from where Tony sat. "I'm tempted to never let you in here again, if this is how visits are going to be." But he was summoning some sort of drink, two cups, and actions spoke louder than words in Tony's world.

"I'll be better behaved next time," he replied, tone overly serious. "But moving on: like I told you, I found something that I think is more in your field than mine."

As he gave Stephen the small puzzle box with weird energy vibes, and saw the man's face light up in fascination and intense concentration, Tony figured that despite their differences (and similarities), that he could, in the end, potentially really get along with Stephen Strange.

50 Questions

I took this from @mandelene, thanks for the open invitation!

———

1. What is the colour of your hairbrush? Light brown. (It’s a wooden hairbrush.)

2. Name a food you never ever eat. Well... I’m quite a picky eater but I generally try everything if I’m pressed (even though I end up not liking it). I won’t eat very spicy food though, I don’t have a good tolerance for it. Another food I used to enjoy but now I can’t even stand the smell of anymore – and even less I would eat – is almond paste. (Long story short, I came up with something – maybe labyrinthitis – that made me awfully nauseous and dizzy for a few days. I would throw up any time I even just stood up, I couldn’t eat anything. But my roommate had on her desk and almond paste cake, which has a very strong smell. Since I constantly smelled it while feeling so sick, now that’s what I associate that smell and taste with.)

3. Are you typically too warm or too cold? Generally, too cold. I handle being cold better than I handle being hot, though.

4. What were you doing 45 minutes ago? Translating from English to Italian some stuff my dad needs for work. (He doesn’t understand/speak English.)

5. What is your favourite candy bar? Kinder Bueno, Tronky, and Bounty.

6. Have you ever been to a professional sports game? No.

7. What is the last thing you said out loud? “No, I haven’t seen your glasses. Are you sure you didn’t leave them upstairs?” to my mother.

8. What is your favourite ice cream? If it’s good, Pistachio. It’s very hard to get right, though. Not many ice cream parlours can prepare it well, they tend to make it too sweet.

9. What was the last thing you had to drink? Water.

10. Do you like your wallet? Yes. Actually, I have two – one is a big red one where I keep basically everything, the other is blue and small and I just put in there a few banknotes and coins and the cards I need, changing them every time. I like both of them.

11. What was the last thing you ate? Chicken breast and salad for dinner.

12. Did you buy any new clothes last weekend? Nope. I’ve been confined home for almost one month and a half. 😅

13. The last sporting event you watched? I don’t know. I’m not a fan of sports so I don’t watch anything spontaneously. I only watch something if I’m with somebody who wants to watch it, but I don’t remember when the last time was.

14. What is your favourite flavour of popcorn? Uhh... there are different flavours of popcorns? I only know one... 😅 I’m not a great fan, though.

15. Who is the last person you sent a text message to? An aunt of mine. (My mother’s youngest sister.)

16. Ever go camping? Yes and no. I’ve never gone with a tent in the wild or anything – however, my grandparents used to own a trailer that they kept in a fancy camping location/trailer park by the seaside. When I was a child, I would spend the entire three months of summer break there. I don’t know if it counts as camping, though. After growing older, my sister and I would sleep in a tent instead of the trailer (because the trailer was too small for everybody), but it was still in that fancy campsite which I don’t know how much can count.

17. Do you take vitamins? No.

18. Do you go to church every Sunday? Yes. I mean, not right now, clearly (all the Churches are closed due to Covid-19 lockdown) but I would go under normal circumstances.

19. Do you have a tan? No. And it’s very hard for me to get one, anyway. I’m as white as a person can possibly be. 😅 (I’m paler than an actual albino person I know at work. I wish I were kidding. 😓)

20. Do you prefer Chinese food over pizza? I prefer pizza. Very stereotypical, I know. 😅 (I’m talking about real Italian pizza, though.)

21. Do you drink your soda with a straw? Generally not.

22. What colour socks do you usually wear? White or black.

23. Do you ever drive above the speed limit? Depends on where I am and what the speed limit is. I respect the 50 km/h limit inside the cities and towns, but the 30 km/h that can be often found... yeah. 😅 (I’ve never met a driver who respected it, though.) If I’m out of the city and on a straight street across the countryside, I respect the 70 km/h limit but I tend to go faster if there’s a 50 km/h one. (Unless I know there’s an autovelox.) I’ve never gone above the 90 km/h limit, either – actually, I tend to go more around 80–85 km/h on those streets. I should probably also mention that I never drive much above the speed limit, though.

24. What terrifies you? Failure. Hurting or even just disappointing or upsetting other people. On the irrational side, I’m highly arachnophobic and I’m terrified of dogs.(Because I was attacked by a freaking SAINT BERNARD. Luckily, it just got my sweater, but it was completely mauled by the time somebody managed to get it back so... It also turned out I’m mildly allergic though, so me not staying around dogs is probably for the best anyway.)

25. Look to your left, what do you see? I actually don’t know how it’s called in English. I have a sloped wooden roof covering the left side of my bedroom, and I see it along with the skylight.

26. What chore do you hate most? Washing the dishes. Our sink is at a height that forces me to bend in an awkward way and makes my back ache if I have to wash more than a couple of dishes.

27. What do you think of when you hear an Australian accent? “OMG what is that person saying?? 😭” I’m not a native English speaker so strong non-standard accents always throw me off a bit, at least at first. 😅 I need a few minutes to get used to them.

28. What’s your favourite soda? Citron soda (I don’t know the brand. It was one my great-grandparents used to have in small glass bottles, it tasted amazing and was so refreshing...), Fanta, or Coke Zero. I don’t drink soda often, though.

29. Do you go in a fast food place or just hit the drive? I go in. I think there’s only one place with a drive-through in my hometown. 

30. What is your favourite number? For some reason, I’ve always liked the numbers 3 and 11. They aren’t my lucky numbers or anything, I just like them. (Actually, thinking about it, I know why I like the number 11... In German, it’s ‘elf’, and I started taking German around the period I was obsessed with LoTR... 😅)

31. Who’s the last person you talked to? My mother.

32. Favourite cut of beef? I hardly ever eat beef (I eat meat about every other day, but it’s generally chicken or turkey breast), I don’t have a preference.

33. Last song you listened to? This one. (You’re welcome.)

34. Last book you read? Fire and Blood by George R.R. Martin.

35. Favourite day of the week? Saturday.

36. Can you say the alphabet backwards? Yes, but only the Italian one (that is missing J, K, X, Y, W). I tend to mix up some letters in the English one. 😅

37. How do you like your coffee? Plain espresso.

38. Favourite pair of shoes? My ankle-height black converse.

39. The time you normally get up? Since the lockdown started, between 8:30–9. I’ve been having trouble sleeping so I’m always tired in the morning.

40. What do you prefer, sunrise or sunsets? Sunset, the colours are gorgeous. Sunrise is still beautiful and so it’s the atmosphere, but the colours tend to be fainter.

41. How many blankets on your bed? One, at the moment.

42. Describe your kitchen plates. Kind of square, white with blue and yellow stylized flowers in the corners.

43. Describe your kitchen at the moment? Quite empty. We’re due a grocery run.

44. Do you have a favourite alcoholic drink? No, I don’t like any alcoholic drink. For some reason, I don’t like the taste of alcohol. (And there’s probably something genetic here as it’s also true for my sister, my father, and other relatives from my father’s side.)

45. Do you play cards? Technically, I know a few games but I’m not really good at them and I don’t play often.

46. What colour is your car? I use my mother’s car and it’s dark blue. We also have a dark grey car (belonging to my father) but I’ve never used it because it’s very big (you can go up to 7 seats), I wouldn’t feel comfortable with driving it, let alone parking.

47. Can you change a tire? No.

48. Your favourite state? I’ve never been anywhere in the US so I can’t say.

49. Favourite job you’ve had? The current one. The pay is very low so I’ll have to leave it as soon as I find something better, but I love these children so much. 😭

50. How did you get your biggest scar? I actually don’t have any big scar... I have several small ones. The biggest one is probably on my arm, from when I leaned against the toaster to unplug it and got this long, thin burn. 😅

I tag anybody who feels like doing this! And please tag me back, I’d love to read your answers! 😊

a list of asks

@padawanyugi tagged me in this, but Tumblr decided to eat any notification that I got tagged, so I’m glad I saw it on my dash because I like filling these things out. Thanks for tagging me! I may have typed A Lot.

Favorites: What types of books do you enjoy? Tell about what you’ve read recently (Or maybe about a book you hated recently!)I like spec-fic and sci-fi, although less “hard” science fiction, and I also enjoy fantasy. I read a lot of YA even though I’m in my 30s just because it seems easy to find a story I want to read and I’m not usually in the mood for dense prose.

I’ve been rereading the Wheel of Time series since it’s getting an Amazon TV show; it was my first non-LOTR fantasy series and I love it to death, warts and all, although I love joking about the weak points with other people who’ve read it. I think the last other thing I read was A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, which was a queer YA historical fiction, and it was a lot of fun. I wish I’d had access to all these queer stories when I was an actual teenager, but better late than never.

What types of music do you like to listen to? Share five songs from your music library. I really do like a bit of everything, although I gravitate towards certain genres more often depending on the season or time of day, so I’m going to cheat and pick 5 per season. Summer for me is lots of peppy pop (pride playlists!), punk and rock and punk-adjacent stuff, just upbeat stuff in general. -Weekender, by The Royal They -Break My Heart, by Dua Lipa -Toutes les femmes savent danser, by Loud -Ruby Soho, by Rancid -Womanarchist, by Bad Cop, Bad Cop

In the fall, my inner goth kid craves darkwave, goth rock, dramatic folk, roots rock, and also anything that reminds me of Halloween. -Iuka, by the Secret Sisters -Bela Lugosi’s Dead, by Bauhaus -How’s It Gonna End, by Tom Waits -Under the Milky Way, by The Church -I Put a Spell on You, by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins I could go on about the Christmas music I like at length (Boney M’s Christmas album slaps, ngl) but I’ll just skip that and say that I listen to more classical and piano pieces in the winter. I’m terrible at remembering names, so artists only: -Ludovico Einaudi -Chopin -Debussy -Saint-Saëns -Dvořák And in spring I’m usually just depressed af and listen to whatever. -FML, by K.Flay -Weird Part of the Night, by Louis Cole -Juodaan Viinaa, by Korpiklaani -P.O.H.U.I., by Carla’s Dreams -Marryuna, by Baker Boy

Do you have a show or movie that you can just put on anytime and it’s your comfort? Definitely Star Trek. I’ve rewatched the various iterations (except TOS) so many times. Also Mean Girls and Bring It On, idk why.

Do you have a favorite dessert? Tiramisu or creme brulée! Or macarons. I don’t eat dessert really unless I’m at a restaurant.

Do you have a favorite cold drink? Sparkling water, hands down.

Do you have a favorite game? The hours I have put into the SIms in my lifetime is probably shameful, although I haven’t played in a while. Don’t Starve is another contender for hours played, but I am also really fond everything by Amanita Design

Do you have a favorite part of your self care/beauty/health routine? I haven’t been doing it much lately since I’ve been dealing with some uncertain health issues with my joints (actually have a rheumatologist appointment later today), but savasana after a long yoga workout is borderline ecstasy.

Do you have a favorite type of take-out food? Indian for sure.

What’s your favorite type of exercise/physical activity? I have a love-hate relationship with running. I don’t actually love it but I love how I feel after. I really enjoy yoga. I love playing in the water at the beach, bodyboarding and swimming.

Pick between: (you choose the context)

Cook or bake? (I love cooking A Lot)

Space or ocean? (Hard to pick, but I grew up by the ocean and it’s 100% my happy place)

Chocolate or vanilla?

City or suburb or rural? (I grew up in an isolated rural village and I miss the quiet and the slower pace of life, but I do not miss the lack of amenities and opportunities, or the smalltown gossip. I also don’t drive bc of epilepsy, so I’m fucked as far as transport in rural settings.)

Past or future?

Shower in the morning or evening?

Mac/Apple or PC/Android? (Linux in general!)

Sing or dance?  (I don’t have an amazing voice but I can carry a tune without it being painful, and I love singing along with songs.)

Get up early or sleep in? (I actually love sleeping in but with two kids, early morning is my only time to myself, so I wake up before 6 most days AGGH.)

Shoes, socks, or bare feet? (Hate socks. I’m barefoot at home all year round.)

Marker, crayon, or pencil? Pen!

Tea, coffee, or hot chocolate? (Coffee in the morning, tea later on.)

Random questions:

Have you ever had any pets? (Had dogs and a cat as a kid, and as an adult I’ve had betta fish and cats, and I have a cat currently.)

What is your academic background/job field? I did my undergrad in linguistics, and I am currently a stay-at-home dad lol. I do freelance editing and transcription on the side. I don’t think I’ll ever work in my field bc I really don’t have the energy to go to grad school.

What’s something random that you’re into (even if you aren’t good at it)? I signed up for a Cape Breton step dancing class in university and I loved it.

Are you good at putting away your clean laundry right away? It depends on the day, but generally yes. Mine and everyone else’s. When I lived alone? Absolutely not.

What’s one of your pet peeves? Someone trying to have a conversation with me when they have the radio or TV on. I can’t follow what you’re saying if someone else is speaking! I hate having that stuff on as background noise in general.

What’s something you’re pretty good at? I’m a great cook.

What’s the most recent nice thing you bought for yourself? A new conditioner ig? lol

Can you sew? I can mend a small tear or sew on a button, but it’s been years since I did more than that.

What’s a chore you hate (or a chore you enjoy)? I hate vacuuming so much. So much. Maybe if I had a better vaccuum cleaner I wouldn’t mind it, but I just feel like I’m fighting with the stupid thing, getting caught up on its own cords, caught on furniture, can’t quiiiite reach a spot... HATE IT. I like shoveling snow sometimes, though.

Tell us a fun fact about yourself. I am 20 years older than my youngest sibling, and five minutes younger than my “oldest” sibling.

Never have I ever... Gone fishing, even though I’m from a fishing community.

What extracurriculars did/do you do in school? In high school, I played trumpet in band until the band got dissolved from lack of funding. I played soccer one year, was in a play another year. We had an art club for like a semester that I was in. In university the first time round, I did step dancing and intramural hide and seek  Second time around, I was in the linguistics club to help with assignments. (We were very much encouraged to work in pairs or groups for a lot of different classes. The only thing was that you did need to list your group members on the assignment so the prof knew who you worked with. My first morphology class in particular, we had a whole homework club where a huge portion of the class got together to work through assignments and help each other understand, and the prof would quite often show up. </tangent>

Deeper questions:

How’s your quarantine/last few months been? The cabin fever was really bad before the weather warmed up. I struggle with seasonal depression every spring, and it’s gotten much worse since we moved to Edmonton because of how long the winters are. (Snow from September to May/June? Fucccck.) It’s frankly horrifying to look at what’s going on in the US, but even though we have far fewer cases here, I’m really anxious that we’ll see another wave soon. Otherwise, I think I’ve adjusted. Home-schooling, hand-sanitizing, social distancing, masks...All feels kind of normal now, which should maybe concern me.

What do you think of human nature/society/etc.? I am like the least philosophical person you will meet so I don’t think I really have many thoughts.

What’s something you are insecure about? Writing my L2 if a native speaker is gonna read it.

What do you think is the meaning of life/reason that humans exist in the universe? I don’t think there is one, and that doesn’t bother me.

Do you think you’re better (whatever that means to you) than you used to be? Definitely. My adolescence and early adulthood was rough. I was dealing with a lot of trauma, untreated bipolar disorder, and I self-harmed for a very long time. I could not imagine making it to 30, let alone being stable and happy. I actively avoided thinking about the future because it made me spiral. But I was lucky enough to get help, consistent help from a doctor I clicked with, and it made a world of difference. I think younger me would be disappointed at how mundane my life is, but I’m thrilled to be boring because boring means no life-upending mood episodes. I have a happy partnership and two delightful kids and I couldn’t ask for more.

What are your thoughts on religion? I’m not religious and my own experience being raised in the Catholic church was frankly traumatic, but I know that it’s a source of comfort and community for many others and I think that’s awesome for them.

Do you think that there are aliens out there? I think so, although I think that we may not even know what other kinds of life to look for and may not recognize it even if we find it.

What’s something that’s been on your mind recently? We’re moving cross-country in less than a month (driving, no less, nearly 5000 km) and I still have so much to do to get ready aosjdoajdoasijdoaijsd

[illgiveyouahint]

what are movies of your childhood that you think have shaped the way you think/ made such a big impression and impact on you? (typing this out, i realize that this is a big question. i was just thinking about it and im really curious on your answers)

Hello anon :)

First of all, thank you so much for your question. As you know I love talking about movies so no question is a big question for me :D It will probably be a big answer so I'll put it under the cut

The first thing you need to understand is that we didn't have a television for a lot of my childhood or at least not continuously had a television so my childhood wasn't as influenced by movies as you'd think. Like most of Disney movies, for example, I've seen in my late teens. But I think there are few films that have influenced me maybe. 

The first one and this is gonna sound weird but it's true was Spice World. Ever since I was a little child me and my best friend would love Spice Girls and we would play pretend we're them and always fight over who gets to be who and big part of that was the image of the Spice Girls we got from that dumb movie. So like whoever was Baby would constantly have lollipop in her mouth, sporty had to be sporty, victoria would constantly do the thing with her hand etc. You get the picture. But besides play pretending the reason why this movie influenced me is that it kinda helped develop the kind of characters me and my friend would later create either in our own writing or in our plays with barbie dolls, paper dolls or sims or whatever and also characters we would gravitate towards. There would always be this crazy colorful girl who's all over the place. We had Tereza as our barbie doll who was always too busy for men and would have this bag that fitted everything in it to the point that it was ridiculous, there was julča who always had to have some orange, yellow red or green on her, there was the character in one of our stories, who I think was also named julča if I remember correctly, who had big pink inflatable door instead of normal ones, there was the dumb telenovela named kachorra about a girl who talks to her colorful sock. Most of these characters didn't have time for no men and were seen as quirky by the others. Idk what to tell you but somehow I feel like our fascination with all these characters go back to the fact we watched Spice World when we were like 5.

There is of course HP. Though I've read the books before the movies came out I do remember that when the first movie came out I loved Snape's introduction and how he enters the room with that monologue and then I would put on my mother's bathrobe and would dramatically reenact the scene over and over again. 

Then there is LOTR. Though I'd say that with Lord of the Rings, which I also read before the movies, I think it's kind of merging with Xena, the warrior princess. 'Cause you see when I was little I used to love Xena, the Warrior Princess (and Power Rangers and S Club 7 tv show but that's not relevant to the story) and I would always play pretend that I'm Gabrielle (no I did not know there's heavy gay subtext at the time) but then when LOTR came out it morfed into me pretending to be this mix of Arwen and Aragorn. Like I'd still be a woman and an elf but I would also be a Ranger and would run around the garden with my wooden sword and bow and arrows or just a stick and play pretend. I think I was always drawn to these fantasy warrior women.

So see a lot of my movies are connected to my childhood games for obvious reasons. It's hard to think which movies have influenced me/shaped me because it was so long ago that it feels like I've literally always been like that you know? Like was there a particular movie that taught me kindness or something? I don't think so. It's also hard to think back on it because I think that I didn't understand a lot of films I watched with my parents and only got the message much later. But mainly like I said we didn't a television for a lot of my childhood so books and radio have been my primary storytelling device and I think those have shaped me more than films in my childhood. I didn't really start to be into movies until the rise of the internet tbh so probably not until I was like 16.

The rest of the movies that influenced me/made an impression on me were films I saw when I was a bit older. Like I remember that after seeing School of Rock when I was like 12 I became really interested in classic rock and music in general and tried to learn a couple of instruments. I remember our teacher showing us Thirteen and since our classmate/my friend was actually on drugs at the time the movie really affected me 'cause it felt like it was very much about her life. Brokeback Mountain was essentially my introduction to gay films and had a lasting impact on me. Both of these films we watched with our cool teacher during PE in 8th grade or so, so I must have been like 13-14. 

So yeah I didn't really get to watch a lot of films when I was a child and most of them have only influenced me on the surface level of what kind of games I would play and which scenes I would reenact with my friend. It's probably not as interesting answer as you'd hoped for but I hope it's satisfying for you any way. And once again thank you so much for asking and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day

Writer Questionnaire

Yo my girl @self-indulgent-authorship got my back to make me feel less alone

Short stories, novels, or poems?

Not to be mean or anything, but I hate poems, I don’t mind reading them, but I cannot for the life of me write them. I prefer short stories, noting too long for me, or else I’ll feel burnt out. 

What genre do you prefer reading?

To be honest I’ll read almost anything as long as it’s got a good story. Though, if I had to chose, it would be historical fiction or horror, those are the most exciting to me. But I don’t mind some fantasy from time to time. 

What genre do you prefer writing?

Hmmm...I honesty don’t know. Probably mystery/crime or action. I love to keep people guessing, which is why I love writing the crime scenes in Remark so much! I love thinking of ways on how people can die! 

Are you a planner or a write-as-I-go kind of person?

Both? I mean you have to have the backbone of the story while you’re writing or the story will fall apart, but while writing the ideas just come to me. Sometimes, if I’m stuck on a scene, I’ll take a couple of minutes to plan things out. Other than that, I just write what comes to mind.

What music do you listen to while writing?

Recently I revisited the Undertale soundtrack and found the music was still a bop, so I’ve been using that, but I used to just put on my playlist for everything I did (just a bunch of TOP, P!ATD, and FOB music) sometime I still need music with lyrics in it to help me write.

Fave books/movies?

Uhh so I have a lot, so I’m just doing the ones that came to my mind first

Books:

Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge (one of my favorite books of all time)

Finding Zasha by Randi Barro (If you love dogs and history, read this book!!)

The Secret Of Laurel Oaks by Lois Ruby ( I love every book she wrote! This is where my love for historical fiction came from, and I got to met her in person!)

Movies:

Princess bride 

All of the lotr/hobbit movies

Captain America the Winter Soldier

Wreck it Ralph

Tangled

Any and all Disney movies

Any current WIPs?

Yes, right now I am making Remark part 8, but nothing else I am working on. I have ideas for later fics, but nothing in the works. I really don’t like having more than one writing project at a time.

If someone were to make a cartoon out of you, what would your standard outfit be?

Well I am an artist and I’ve drawn myself before, so I’ll just describe it for you. A red sweater tucked into black high waisted jeans, long mismatching socks, large black glasses, and galaxy converses I painted. 

Create a character description for yourself:

Lazy sassy bitch with so much sarcasm that it gets me in trouble.

Do you like incorporating people you actually know into your writing?

No, not my writing, but with my art, all my main ocs that I draw all the time are just little snippets of my personality.

Are you kill-happy with characters?

No I’m not, thought I’m not afraid to kill a character to lead the story ;)

Coffee or tea while writing?

TEA. I don’t drink coffee anyway, but tea is still so much better. I just had some a couple hours ago to celebrate getting to 4000 words in part 8. My favorite tea is jasmine if you’re wondering.

Slow or fast writer?

Slow, I never learned to type fast in elementary school and my lack of wanting to learn didn’t help either, but I make do with what I got.

Where/who/what do you find inspiration from?

Mostly just from myself, but the occasional photo can help from time to time. Other people’s fics can really help me as well.

If you were put into a fantasy world, what would you be?

I really hope I’m the really badass yet likable antihero. I don’t want to do what’s right. I’d mostly fuck around with the fantasy world and find flaws in it.

Most fave book cliche? Least fave book cliche?

I don’t think I have any book clichés that is my favorite. If done right, clichés can been fun to read and entertaining, but most of the time clichés are written poorly, so here are some of the ones I hate!

Dumbass or abusive parents

Undiscovered Powers

The shy sweet teenage girl

‘I came back to life’ character

Mary sue

Love triangle 

Fave scenes to write?

I think I already answered this (crime scenes)

Most productive time of day for writing?

Usually around 5 and 6pm, or 11pm to midnight. I can really work at any time but the mornings. I can not work in the morning. Not happening, nope. Not ever.

Reason for writing?

Because I really do enjoy it. I always thought I couldn’t write and that my writing skills sucked ass, but I had this idea and a urge to write this idea that suck with my for a couple of weeks, finally I decided I would write this idea so I can get this urge to write away. That idea was Remark, and look how far it brought me. 

I’m gonna tag people that I’ve taken notice of and people I love

@tropfenlady @rhyanoke @shadows-echoes @wayward-lucifer @evas-wig-is-happily-touring 

and anyone else that wants to do this!!

The Caster Chronicles character design ranking (Silva)

(source)

Other rankings:

Ignus - Terra - Aes

Ichika Asaba Kiberia Yosha

Not really feeling this one, somehow the star motif just doesn’t work with this colour scheme or the forest theme for me. Like if this was midnight blue and pink I’d probably enjoy it a lot more. And while I do like the stars on her socks, the dotted line feels out of place. Otherwise no problem and I love the super poofy detached sleeves. 5/10.

Nahoko Tosaka Forre Mellow

Such fresh vibrant colours! Looks like a forest goddess. Somehow her dress makes me think of pumpkins, and there’s just the right amount of plant decoratio- wait, what is up with her top? That looks super uncomfortable... Damn, I was going to give this a 10 but that really doesn’t work with me. So 8/10?

Niina Nagasato Stella

Loving the colours on this one too. Warm and welcoming, would be happy to run into her if lost in a forest at night. The similar creases in the headpiece, shirt and dress give consistency, and the similar patterns repeat through the outfit (notice how the frill of her bloomers has the leaf shape from her veil). Without the veil I would probably call this a little plain, but those leaf thingies change everything. Now there’s just the correct amount of detail in the space between boring and overdesigned. Add some lush leaves for a nice earthy finish. 10/10.

You Chitose Ran Berfield

The character looks like someone who might annoy me a lot, but the design is super cute and at least fits her apparent personality. Animal ears hoodie is already a cute idea, but with mismatched patterned ears too? All the stitches and torn edges add to the rustic adventurey look and the short sporty jacket, shorts and suspenders finish the image. There’s not a lot of typical magical girl elements (ribbons, frills etc) going on, but there are still enough little details to keep this from being boring. With that wheat she could be a harvest goddess in training.

Also bonus for cute grass sheep familiars (they could be gen 1 pokemon!) which fit well with the beautifully designed shepherd’s staff. 10/10.

Sayuri Shiratori Lily Verde

A pretty basic flower fairy. I like the glittery petal like skirt and the tiny lace patterns. And the way the top of the dress is actually two asymmetrical parts is nice (notice how the right side is pink), but the pose is a bit unfortunate since this detail is mostly lost behind her arms. But other than that I don’t find that this one has much going on. 5/10.

Saya Udagawa Sweet Pea

Yet another great design, this forest type definitely seems to work well for me. Lily of the valley is one of my favourite flowers so she gets a nice head start from that, and the way the flowers are used as bells, skirt shape and shoes is nicely consistent but not on-the-nose (like just putting flowers everywhere would be an easy but pretty boring solution). The pea-pod like “ears” give a cute forest fairy look but are unique and not just yet another generic bunny ears, and the long hood makes me think of elves (the gnome kind, not the lotr kind). Ultimately a cute little design with lots of interesting details that go well together and nothing stupid about it. Add a good colour palette, cute little cape and layered hood, some frills and ribbons, and you’re done. Or maybe the hair is a bit too messy and in the way, but it’s not too bad. 10/10

Haruka Yanase Chain of Hearts

Alright, can you please put a shirt on? I try not to whine about this on every entry, I know that there are women who like to dress in a revealing sexy way, but at least I expect it to fit the character’s personality. Like if the character seems like a confident or provocative type it’s easier to assume they enjoy or don’t mind the fact that people are going to notice their chest in an outfit like this, but the pose and expression on this character don’t exactly convey a personality like that to me and it just feels like the author just wanted to draw some boobs. And I just checked her bio and it says she’s shy, so the outfit choice feels even less believable (though to be fair I didn’t check the description for any of the other characters so I guess I shouldn’t hold it against her either, but in the end the description only validated what I interpreted from the picture.)

But anyway in the end I really can’t ignore the collar here, like is anyone going to say that the first thing that caught their attention were the boots? Cute hairstyle and I dig the petal shapes at the edge of her detached sleeves, but that is all. 1/10.

Hirari Sakota Nadeshiko

Annd another one of these. Only magic is holding that dress up. Anyway moving on, the hexagonal pattern on that... cape thingy is pretty but it bothers me that I don’t quite understand how it works. And her super long hair gets lost behind the billowy cape, and the stripe on her socks is really weird. Weapons are nice and magical but I’d like to know what they actually are, like does she collect wands or are those arrows or what? And like with the previous one I just can’t ignore that the dress is a few millimetres away from being nswf so let’s say 3/10 for the beautiful pattern.

Rinko Kanesaki Roseria Bell

This one is just bizarre. I super dig the stitched rounded edges on the dress, the different colours and patterns work well together and there’s just the right amount of flowers, but why the weird see-through cone shape? Everything else about the dress is so rustic but then there’s this super plastic feel of the dress. And the top hat feels out of place too. 

I really want to like this one, but I can’t get over it, the dress is just too dumb and it dominates the whole outfit. And is that a cape or is that a scarf? 3/10. 

Waka Koujya Solol Baton

The wing sleeves are a fun idea, but there’s really nothing else going on with this one. Like remove them and it’s mostly just an anime marching band uniform with weird hair. So the whole idea feels a bit wasted here. And there’s nothing else to do with air or flying here either so they feel just out of place. 4/10.

Silva average: 5,9

Tag meme... thing

This like never happens but I’m procrastinating right now so hi, I’m doing the thing IG. Thanks @tenacioussheepalpaca for tagging me!

How tall are you? 5′5 ish, which means I’m still ‘short’ but I can lean on a lot of people

What color are your eyes? It really depends on the lighting, I’d usually say green (if I look in a mirror) but they look kinda grey sometimes (mostly in photos) 

You be the judge idk (may have thrown in the last one to show off about my eyeliner skill)

Do you wear contacts and/or glasses? I do have glasses (short sighted), but I only really bother to wear them at cinemas and stuff. My sight doesn’t give me too much issue.

Do you wear braces? Nah, and I never have. 

What is your fashion style? If Dan Howell was poor. For real though, it’s usually monotone or just pure black. Leather jackets, grey trainers, low cut top to display the one asset I have etc. There’s usually at least one or two items of anime merch, whether it’s socks, my hat, flat out cosplay... 

How old are you? 18, though I rarely the act like it. 

Do you have any siblings? I actually have four sisters (only one related by blood though), and I love them all. 

What school/college do you go to? Currently, I don’t, because I had no idea what I wanted to be come graduating. However, I sorted my shit out, and I’ll be studying for a Japanese degree at University of Leeds come this September. 

What kind of student are you? That annoying kid who puts in zero effort throughout the entire school year, writes fanfic in lessons, never hands in essays - and yet knocks it out the last few weeks to literally get the top grade in the year anyway. Other than that, basically always the one with the hand up READY for lesson contribution. 

What are your favorite subjects? In school my favourite was Spanish, but that was because we literally had the BEST teacher ever, she was super cool and motivating. Although I didn’t continue with the subject, I AM doing a language degree, so... success? My actual favourite in terms of content would be English though, mainly because it had plenty of opportunity for analysis, debate, and discussion. 

What are your favorite movies? I always find this kind of question hard to answer, I’d probably say The Kingsman because it does comedy right, the typical animated classics (*cough* Mulan), musicals, nerdy shit like Star Wars and LOTR. Chronicles of Narnia are my favourite Christmas movies. 

What are your favorite pastimes? Other than procrastinating my life away with random youtube videos? And, the obvious, writing? Probably researching cool shit, puzzles, strategy video games. I just really like learning stuff. Definitely music. 

Do you have any regrets? Aside from every time I’ve been drunk, most of my regrets are people based. Like, I appreciate you learn a lot from every person you interact with, but there are a few people out there I wish I could undo all time and effort put into, people who really didn’t deserve that level of love and faith from me.  

What is your dream job? I’m still not sure. Right now, I want to translate anime (because I bitch about translations I disagree with all the time honestly). I’m not settled on it though, I might go into something more diplomacy based (Interpreting etc.).  

Would you like to get married? I’m one of those bitter ‘marriage is just a piece of paper’ people. Basically, I don’t think it’s necessary to live a happy and fulfilling life, but if any future partner wanted to get married, I’d happily go for it.  

Do you want kids? how many? Not sure. I love kids, but writing 100k words of pregnancy drama fanfic (plus the 4k word birth chapter) has kind of put me off the idea :’) If I don’t end up having any of my own, I’ll definitely foster or adopt some.   

How many countries have you visited? All of the UK minus Northern Ireland, the UAE, France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Greece. I’m desperate to go to more, though.  

What was your scariest dream? When I was five or something, I used to have a recurring nightmare. Nothing happened exactly, I used to just get out of bed and walk towards the bedroom door, and wake up before I got there. The ominous doom of whatever was on the other side used to freak me out, honestly.  

Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other? Nope. Whenever people try I tend to freak out and reject them :’)

Put your playlist on shuffle and without skipping list the first 15 songs

Ho Hey - The Lumineers Battle Cry - Imagine Dragons (great writing music btw)  Paranoid - Black Sabbath  Black Magic - Little Mix  Guren No Yumiya - Linked Horizon (aka Attack On Titan OP 1)  In The Hall Of The Mountain King - Grieg (classical piece, that Halloween sounding one that Alton Towers use as a theme tune)  Chapel of Love - The Dixie Cups  Who Do You Love - Marianas Trench  Ready To Go - Panic! At The Disco  Nearly Witches - Panic! At The Disco (best song on Vices and Virtues fight me) 21 Guns - Green Day  All The Boys - Panic! At The Disco  National Anthem - Lana Del Rey  Disorder - Joy Division Sweater Weather - The Neighbourhood  

(I hooked you all up with youtube links)

I don’t really have that many people to tag, so I’m leaving it open to all my followers to do this! If you see this from my blog, please let me know, I love reading this kind of thing about people :D

21 Questions Game

I was tagged by @rainbow-pages a while back. I'm so hopelessly slow at tag games, but I love getting tagged and do eventually get to them. :) This is long, so I’ll put some under a read more link.

Rules: tag 5 or more other writers. If you aren’t tagged, feel free to use these questions anyway and consider yourself tagged! 1. Short stories, novels, or poems? I probably should say novels because that's the whole reason I'm writing these dorks, but I tend to have more fun writing short stories about them than working on the actual books. Poetry definitely is not my cup of tea. 2. What genre do you prefer reading? I mostly stick to fantasy and the occasional scifi. I really should branch out more, but honestly I don't read often enough as it is. 3. What genre do you prefer writing? Fantasy is the only thing I've ever written, usually it's humor/lighthearted and it's always lgbt+. There's just so much freedom that comes with writing fantasy that I can't imagine writing anything else. Plus I really love magic. ;) 4. Are you a planner or a write-as-I-go kind of person? *looks over at the pile of notebooks, binders, and planners* Definitely a planner. I need to have at least some idea of where a story is going in advance or else I have trouble moving forward with it. 5. What music do you listen to while writing? I need silence when I write, so generally there's just some white noise in the background. 6. Fave books/movies? Books: The Hobbit and Lotr, the Discworld series, anything by Tamora Pierce (I love Tortal and the Circle books equally) Movies: I really don't watch movies... I guess I'll say LotR (but NOT The Hobbit ones- those were a travesty) and How to Train Your Dragon 7. Any current WIPs? I'm always working on my "Unexpected Inspiration" series in some way, either the books or short stories about the characters. It's lgbt+ comedic/lighthearted fantasy about artists and carnival performers. It's super fun to write. :D 8. If someone were to make a cartoon out of you, what would your standard outfit be? Oh gosh, probably something really boring. I live in baggy cargo pants, NaNoWriMo tshirts, hoodies or plaid shirts, and doc martens. Basically I grew up in the 90s and never developed a fashion sense past that lol. 9. Create a character description for yourself: 5'4" with the short person complex where I refuse to believe that I'm short. Typical nonbinary haircut with one long side and the rest shaved short, sometimes fun colors but currently just brown. Blue-green eyes behind green glasses. The aforementioned outfit currently in black and grey but with fun Halloween socks. because heck yeah cute ghosties year round. Usually holding a flow prop, most often a wand or a juggling ball, and is frequently trying to pry flow prop away from a ridiculously hyper and fluffy cat. Spends time writing about dorks and daydreaming about writing those dorks. Loves summer and sunlight and warmth, despises winter and cold weather and dreary days.

10. Do you like incorporating people you actually know into your writing? Nope. I've never had a desire to write about real people or base a character on a real person. If it happens, it's entirely by accident, but mostly my dorks are just themselves. 11. Are you kill-happy with characters? Nope, not at all. I haven't killed a single one. Well except kinda sorta that one time, but he got better! 12. Dream job? I'm in my mid-30s and I still don't know. What I really want most is to share my stories with the world, so probably it's to be a published author. 13. Coffee or tea while writing? Usually just water, but I'll drink herbal teas, too. I can't have caffeine. 14. Slow or fast writer? Hahahahaha... *bangs head against wall* So so very slow. I've been working on the first book in this series for four years. Granted I've been doing a lot of other series stuff in the meantime, but I'm definitely not a fast writer at all. 15. Where/who/what do you find inspiration from? Well, this series is about artists and a big part of that is because I've spent a lot of my life doing different types of art/crafts. And learning flow arts definitely keeps me inspired to write my carnival performers. I'll get inspiration here and there from books or whatever, but otherwise I get most of my inspiration to write from going for walks with my husband and talking out ideas. 16. If you were put into a fantasy world, what would you be? The one I'm writing? I'd want to be one of the artists with magic, definitely. I'm just not sure if I'd rather be a Wordweaver (since I'm a writer) or a Threadweaver (because my favorite craft is crochet). If it was a fantasy world in general I'd love to be some sort of wood elf. I love nature and trees and plants. 17. Most fave book cliche? Least fave book cliche? Favorites: Found family. Is that a cliche? I love when characters who don't really fit in anywhere else find each other and would do anything for each other. Least favorite: I'm keeping @rainbow-pages love triangles answer. I think this is one of the reasons polyamory is a big thing in my series lol 18. Fave places to write: At the park on a nice warm sunny day. That failing (mostly when it's winter) I'll take my couch on a sunny day with the sunlight streaming through the window. You can probably see a pattern here- I seem to be most productive when it’s a bright day. 19. Fave scenes to write? I alternate between silly and sappy and I honestly don't know what I like better. I love adorable romantic scenes but I also love writing ridiculous antics. 20. Most productive time of day for writing? Usually late in the evening, which kind of sucks because I have bad insomnia that isn't helped by staying up late or working on things late. I get the most done at once and it flows better if it's late, but often I have to write during the day. Which works other than being distracted by a hundred other things I could be doing lol. 21. Reason for writing: Partly for myself and partly for others. I love the idea of creating characters and worlds and then sort of living in them as I write them, but I also really love the idea of writing stories for people who would like something happy to read- like I want so much to put a smile on someone's face. And I want to give lgbt+ representation because it's something I personally would want to see in a book because it would have helped me when I was younger and it'll hopefully help others see themselves in characters who are in a happy story. Basically I want to be a positive force, I guess? I have no idea who’s done this since I’m two months late with it. If you’ve already done this or don’t want to, feel free to ignore the tag, and if you haven’t done it and want to and aren’t tagged, go ahead! @lynnafred @the-gay-hufflepuff @theguildedtypewriter @alittle-writer @dragonscanbeplantstoo @madmooninc  @shadow-maker

[captainofthefallen]

30 questions

@rannadylin tagged me like a million years ago and I’ve got an hour to kill so here we go 

RULES: answer 30 questions and tag 10 blogs you are contractually obligated to know

Nicknames: Claire Bear, Clur, Madison yelling MROW really loudly is sometimes a substitute for my name... I’m sure I’m forgetting some but that’s all that’s coming to mind

Gender/pronouns: she/her Star sign: Virgo Height:  5′8″ Time:  3:40 pm Birthday: September 14 Favorite bands: Two Steps from Hell, Pentatonix, Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band Favorite solo artist: I’m not sure I really have one? I do like Lindsey Stirling a lot tho Song stuck in your head: The Dragon Thrashed and Wailed from the Pillars of Eternity soundtrack (because I’ve been listening to episode 39 of the CR podcast) Last movie you watched?:  I think it was called the Fourth Phase or something like that? Was about snowboarding Last show?: S2E10 of Miraculous Ladybug

Why did you create your blog?: I’m not even sure I remember. I am recalling something about @aglimpsofthestars being responsible though What do you post?: Lots of Critical Role, SWTOR, Obsidian games (mostly Pillars), some Stargate, Star Wars (kotor in particular), Lucifer, and a bunch of other random miscellaneous things Last thing you googled?: astronomy internships in Boulder, because this apartment is fine as hell and if I stay here over the summer I can extend my lease on it Other blogs: nope, just me. Alllllll my random interests shoved into an amalgamation of weirdness. Kudos to my followers you put up with plenty AO3: Yep Do you get asks?: Not much, and mostly from @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels and a few others How did you get the idea for your URL?: Not really sure, it just came into my head one day and I was like ‘that’s cool let’s see if it’s available’ and it was! I follow: 44 (because I like to be able to get back to where I was before) Followers: just hit 250 Average hours of sleep: Try to get 7-8, doesn’t always work Lucky number: I was always #4 when I used to play volleyball, does that count? Instruments: Mostly singing these days (I’m in choir and a vocal jazz ensemble) but I also play flute, saxophone, and have taught myself a bit of piano What are you wearing?: Slytherin t-shirt, jeans, and socks from the Melanzana store (if you like awesome looking comfortable fleece hoodies look them up they’re great if a little expensive) Dream job: It varies. Probably something in astronomy outreach or education, but I’ve considered video game writing and park rangering and if it was anything resembling a stable career I would consider raft guiding but alas Dream trip: New Zealand. For the LotR stuff obviously but they also have some great rafting and apparently if you guide on the Arkansas (which is the river I guide on) you get some major street cred Favorite food: all food. Food is amazing. Except Brussels sprouts. People keep telling me they’re good if they’re cooked right but I’ve tried them at least four times and apparently they’ve never been cooked right. Seriously. I ate sheep guts once and they were delicious. I ate a cow brain taco once and it was okay but a little bland. But Brussels sprouts are gross.  Significant other?:  No Last book I read: Still currently reading The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic by Mike Duncan. Also all my textbooks.  Top 3 fictional universes: Middle-earth, Star Wars... torn between Eora and Terratus (Tyranny), but I’ll probably have to go with Eora since I kind of just wrecked Terratus a little bit 

Tagging: I’m not sure I know ten people, and some of you may have been tagged already (also no pressure if you don’t want to) but @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels, @khirsahle, @nightingaletrash, @dancer4813, @devilishlyoperatic, @queen-scribbles, @shimmer-like-agirl, and I’m sure I’m forgetting someone so if anyone else feels like it consider yourself tagged by me!
