#but i had a soft spot for eeyore and pooh

For Fey - 6, 9, and 18

For Mint - 3, 19, 25

Hi Crow! ^^

Hi May!

I had this mostly answered yesterday, but tumblr ate it and I had to rewrite everything.

Fey

6: Say three nice things about yourself (physical and non-physical)

“Um… I like my little spots… Mikey says they’re freckles. And… I like how my shell is soft and flexible… and I’ve been told I’m really graceful. Oh, that sounded like bragging. I’m sorry. Um. Not physical… I… am not a bother. I’ve been told I’m a good listener… and that I’m helpful.”

9: What calms you down?

“…Sometimes I watch Winnie the Pooh. Or Cinderella. Sometimes Leo makes tea and we sit at the table and drink it… I like tea. And sometimes I sit in Donnie’s lab… I’m quiet so I don’t bother him…”

18: Do you still love stuffed animals?

*She nods hesitantly* “I have one… he’s a donkey and his name is Eeyore. He’s from my movie. Raph gave him to me on my first birthday.”

*Corrective muttering*

“Oh… Donnie says that I should have told you it was my 11th birthday so you don’t get confused… sorry.”

Fey did not have a birthday until joining the Hamato clan, with her first ever birthday being when she turned 11, roughly, since her actual date of birth is unknown.

Mint

(warning; Mint is long-winded)

3: Favorite scented candle smell?

“It’s been a while since I began living underground, and unfortunately we don’t get too many candles in the lair. It’s too likely the boys would knock it over and set the whole place on fire, or one of Donnie’s experiments would find it and explode. But I have one, and I keep it in my room. I burn it if I’ve had a long day, or sometimes when one of the boys comes to talk to me. It was a Mother’s Day gift from Mikey a few years back and I’m trying to make it last as long as I can. It smells like cherry blossoms. I guess it’s become my favorite candle scent, and I think even if I had more options I would pick that one because of that Mother’s Day.”

19: Most important thing in your life?

“My sons. They’re older now and don’t need me like they used to…  but I have the privilege of helping them figure out who they want to be, and what works with their individual needs, wants, and dreams. They amaze me, and I couldn’t be prouder.”

25: what’s the best personal gift someone could give you (playlist, homemade card, etc.)

“Oh, that’s a tough question. …I can’t pick just one, because the boys all gift in different ways, and each and every gift is special for its own reason. I guess I’ll narrow it down to one from each of my sons that meant the most to me.

Raph, my oldest, collects teddy bears. I’ve also been teaching him how to sew, in case something happens and I’m not able to patch things. Well, he put the two things together and he made me four little turtles, small enough he could fit two in each of his hands. They sit on my bedside table where I can see them first thing in the morning.

Leo’s the older of the twins, and he’s the leader of their little group now. It was a difficult adjustment for all of them, and Leo shut me out. But over the past few months he’s made sure to find me one evening a week so we can have tea and spend some time together. I get to hear all about what’s going on in his crazy life. I look forward to those evenings every week.

Donnie is the younger twin, and he loves to spend hours at a time in his lab, upgrading already existing tech, or creating new things. It’s incredible what he comes up with! To answer your question, I made an off-hand comment a few years back after family movie night about how I missed having a record player. About a week later, I wake up one morning and Donnie’s standing in the doorway to my room and asking me to follow him. He made me a record player and he found a few records to go with it. I use it every day.

Mikey is my youngest, and his passion is cooking. He’s my usual sous chef, though I do rope one of his brothers in once a week to make sure they all know how to cook. But Mikey really enjoys it, so it’s a nice bit of quality time for us. A while ago now, on the twins’ eleventh birthday, I let Mikey help me make the cake. Ever since then, Mikey has taken it upon himself to make a cake for my birthday every year.”

Thank you for asking!

*slides in* did someone want voice headcanons/ih

Liam always gave off Eeyore vibes when I first kind of met him but now all I can imagine is the stupid Ghost Host whenever I see him talk. If he ever says “Welcome, foolish mortals” for any reason I might just lose my mind/lh

Shiloh kinda just. I mean this in the most loving way Fifi but I get Byakuya vibes and only Byakuya vibes. Oh and Helbram JP I just the bastard energy is so good

Hugo is another Winnie the Pooh case. I’m sorry he just is akdksksk also shoutout to Escanor but even more softer sounding because yes

Quinn sounds like one of my irl friends but in an insulting way/lh but also Cloud Strife because I think the dead but serious but also soft side fits him so well…

Elaine gets the Kaede Akamatsu treatment (lovingly)

THE FUNNY THING IS I’ve always imagined Elaine with a very low voice for a woman. Like a super motherly voice but i get where Kaede comes from HAHAHHA our pretty queen deserves a pretty voice

Liam’s is about spot on but like. His voice is a lot smoother, like very little grit (unlike Quinn) in his voice, esp since he’s canonically good at singing. Maaaybe a bit higher than Ghost Host but he could probably pull off the impression if he wants to… but not gonna lie Liam with a low voice would be so unbelievably sexy

QUINN… the funny thing is two voices fight in my head one is smth like what you mean the other is lower but i think it’s just. His irritated voice vs his normal voice ( smoking bad for throat. Voice sounds a bit rough too ) his voice is less dead but soft but more of. tired of life in an irritated way and soft lmao

HUGOOOOO??? I’ve always imagined him with a much higher voice but holy shit low voice Hugo might actually be super cool too… I can’t go back anymore what have you done /lh

I totally get Shiloh. The man is walking bastard. I can feel the bastardness and i feel the assholeness HAHHAAHA, it fits and i like how. Its kinda within the vocal range i had in mind for him ( kinda high for a guy, but he can go lower if he wanted to )

I always loved Winnie the Pooh (the stories and movies as a whole)... I always had a soft spot for Eeyore and never quite understood why until now. It's all I wanted from groups of friends, but sometimes, most times it just wasn't possible. This hit me really hard, but I love it 😊

Christopher Robin Review (No Spoilers)

Watched Christopher Robin last night. What a beautiful film.  The characters we’ve all grown up with all looked and sounded amazing. Special praise must go to Jim Cummings who once again voices Pooh and honestly hasn’t missed a beat, that voice is iconic and synonymous with childhood nostalgia so it felt like i was hearing an old friend once again.  The thing i’ve always loved about Pooh as a character is his childlike innocence, so when he mishears a word or tries to understand new words/concept is never feels forced, you can feel the wheels in his brain turning as he processes new information and that is so charming to me. He made me laugh, smile and admittedly cry multiple times. This movie was as much pooh’s story of never giving up hope he would see his friend and how our childhood is always there waiting to be rediscovered. It really says alot about how much love and respect they had in his design because it brought out the emotions of his dialogue and the performance. The other characters all got their moments to shine and felt true to their personalities, eeyore had some of the best jokes. I always have a soft spot for tigger who i’m glad got funny moments that were true to his character I really enjoyed Ewan’s performance as an older Christopher Robin, it’s hard to see anyone else in the role, i really liked how he balanced being weighed down by the weight of his job and making tough decisions (Relatable) and suddenly having to get back in touch with his inner child. His performance felt real and wasn’t just a performance. He had really good chemistry with Jim. I really enjoyed Hayley Atwell as evelyn and thought she had good chemistry with ewan, especially towards the end.

 I really liked Bronte Carmichael as Madeline Robin, it’s really rare to find child actors that feel natural. If it wasn’t a movie i would just assume madeline was a real person, she didn’t feel like she was trying too hard to be the perfect child stereotype some movies go with. Again she did a great job, moreso when u take into account she was working with cgi characters too. I’ve seen people complain that the story/plot is a bit too simple/predictable, but in all honesty, it’s not meant to be a complex story with twists and turns, It’s a beautiful movie about rediscovering your childhood when the weight of being an adult becomes too much, and how you never truly forget who you love or who you are. I highly recommend it :)

It got my adhd-pi, depression, and anxiety! I've always had a soft spot for Eeyore, and Pooh and Piglet are just such classics that they are comfy to me. I relate with them a lot, obviously lol

Idk how well I answered all the questions tho 😅

I did this test and isn’t it funny that I resemble my two favorite characters of Winnie the Pooh the most?

Oh in case you want to try it yourself:

(Please tell me if your results match I think it’s super interesting)

11 Questions Tag

Rules: always post the rules, answer the questions given to you, write 11 questions of your own, tag 11 people.

I was tagged by @mariedtofiction! Thank you! And sorry for the delay until life got slow enough for me to sit down and do this!

1. What two songs do you connect with right now?

I’m not actually much of a jam-to-music person. Music is fantastic, absolutely, but I tend to listen more for tunes than lyrics and have my playlists on shuffle as background noise. I’m also not much of a seeker-out of new music so … I got nothing, sorry.

2. You just met someone for the first time and after you say goodbye, someone else asks that person to describe you in one word. Give me two words: the word you hope they’d use to describe you, and the word you think they’d actually use

Hope: cool

Actual: awkward

3. Do you like to dance?

If we call what I do dancing, yes. ;-)

4. Describe your favorite photograph of yourself from your childhood

There’s this shot of me at something like six or eight months, crawling on the couch in our living room at the time. I’m in a pink onesie and smiling like anything, and the light is that golden afternoon glow as captured by the sort of 1980s camera that gives everything that light anyway. There’s just something so aesthetically pleasing about it.

5. Who is/was your favorite teacher at school?

My Science 8 and 9 and PhysEd 9 teacher. She was cool and encouraging and energetic, did some really cool experiments, and I even felt included in her gym class, which was highly rare for me.

6. Would you choose the cloak, the wand or the stone?

In the tale? I’m not sure. Too lazy to look it up and reread it. If Harry showed up and gifted me one of them, no strings attached, I’d probably take the cloak. Can you imagine the sneaking I could do with it?

7. What’s your haircut like?

Boring. I’ve had the same longish, straight, parted down the middle cut since elementary school. It’s got layers now, sort of, but it’s not that different.

8. Do you have a favorite tradition?

Either Easter Trees or the hidden almond in the Christmas rice pudding.

9. What would your ideal scented candle smell like?

I grew up in a scent-free home so any scented candle smells too strongly for me, but I’m intrigued by the ones that smell like books.

10. Do you have a library available to you? What’s it like?

I do! It’s a big city library, so lots of books and multiple locations, plus audio-visual equipment, wifi, and plenty of desks and carrels to set up in. It’s occasionally a bit of a strange collection but it’s also pretty comprehensive, in that I always seem to find what I’m looking for (or something close). I go to one branch pretty much weekly because I find a bit easier to write there than at home.

11. Who’s your favorite Disney character?

Do not make me choose! I can’t do it! But I have soft spots for Meg and Philoctetes from Hercules, Thomas O’Malley from The Aristocats, Quasimodo from Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh.

My questions:

How many bookshelves do you have and how many do you need?

Book you want to read most that isn’t out yet?

Ever had a near-death experience?

Ever been a tourist in your own town/region?

Do you get rid of books, and how many do you need to purge right now?

Tell me a joke?

What kinds of book covers are your favourite?

What do you want to see more of, from the publishing industry?

Are there any stories you’d like to see a retelling of? What kind of retelling?

What’s the last live performance you attended?

To be or not to be?
