Reviewing all the TMNT movies

I've had a ton of free time and decided it'd be fun to watch and review a bunch of stuff. So I did, except I underestimated the amount of content and now I have to break it down into categories. Why I thought I could watch 8 movies, 5 series, and 3 crossovers in a week I don't know but here we are. Please keep in mind this is my opinion so you might not agree! This is listed in order of when I watched them NOT ranking I'm gonna do that later after I finish the tv shows.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(1990)

MMM a classic I remember first getting this DVD, my mom let me get it out of the $10 bin at the beach because I had lost a tooth. I didn’t remember much about the plot at all so it was like watching a new movie and man did I enjoy it. This was a great movie and one that held up pretty well. I liked the characters, the villain, the plot, and ofc the iconic farmhouse scene we get with just about every series. I even liked the character design surprisingly enough.

Some scenes felt weird, a couple of jokes felt off, and Splinter was literally the most terrifying thing I’ve ever seen. He looks like a drowned chihuahua. The swearing was written as though the writer's mom never let them curse and they were pretending to be 25 in the youtube comment section or something, but It was great and honestly a pleasant surprise in the wake of all my childhood favorites being ruined by just how bad they were and the end credits song? Iconic. 8/10 will be watching again. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ll: The Secret of the Ooze(1991)

This movie is… good. It’s not a bad movie but it’s more goofs and gags-focused. It got a couple of laughs out of me but it felt somehow too long and also rushed. I’m pretty sure I got Leo and Donnie mixed up 207 times, I could almost never tell who was talking despite having the subtitles on, the villains were the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen, and I’m still not 100% sure who the science guy is exactly and whether he’s good or bad. In conclusion, I’m now eating a pizza. 6/10 might watch again

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lll(1993)

Well, this is certainly a movie. I don’t even really know what to say, I couldn’t root for Kenshin or even Mitsu and well the turtles are really really ugly. It was funny but I’m not sure if it was a “so bad it's funny” or actually funny. No one was very well fleshed out, the villain was Idk tbh, I don’t feel particularly satisfied, and the “we wanna stay here” thing at the end and then them all suddenly going “no we’ll go home ig” was kinda weird and probably only got put in for screen time. 4/10 I don’t believe I’ll be watching this again. I will, however, be crying bc I am in fact lactose intolerant and that pizza was not worth it. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(2014)

Man, I remember going to watch this movie in theaters like it was yesterday. Ignore my nostalgia rant but my dad sucks and never did anything with me so these were the only movies he ever went and watched in theaters, no matter how bad it was that made them infinitely better. I used to watch this movie like every night when I went to sleep so hearing this stupid music was so nostalgic, I adored this movie as a kid and I was almost scared to rewatch it without my rose-tinted glasses.

I have super mixed feelings about this movie, my expectations were so low it actually surprised me. The villains were honestly bad, not much screen time, the foot soldiers just straight up looked bad, I don’t know a lot about Sacks but somehow less about Shredder, Karai looks like she’s going through her 2010 emo phase, Splinter looks like what I can only imagine my cat would if I gave in to the urge to only shave the top of his head and arms, the turtles themselves are ugly, and their backstories mediocre. I could keep going but I did like the way the turtles interacted with each other. It had its funny moments, the soundtrack was good, and I actually quite liked Donnie. In conclusion 6/10 it wasn’t the best but it’s enjoyable and I’d watch it again. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows(2016)

Right, so I hate this movie. I can’t explain it, I've always disliked this movie. I tried super hard to watch it and literally fell asleep. It’s boring, I’m not a huge fan of how they interacted, Bebop and Rocksteady were mid although mildly enjoyable, shredder was once again a blank page, and Kraang just lowkey annoyed me. He was super gross and looked like that one transformer but pink and slimy.

The turtles little “I wanna be human” thing was mediocre and I felt like they just added it on for screentime. Casey was super unmemorable, Baxter was also kinda boring, Karai might as well have not been in the movie at all, and a lot of the jokes fell flat for me. On a more positive note, I liked the trash truck. What sucks is I really wanna like this movie bc we get a lot of characters from the original but it's so boring. 2/10 am going to burn the disk. TMNT(2007)

I was not looking forward to this movie, but surprisingly enough I liked it. I’m sad Mikey and Donnie got barely any screen time but Raph was cool. I liked Karai even though we didn’t see much of her, and the ending left me feeling pretty satisfied. The turtles were once again ugly, Splinter looked like that one macaroni noodle I lost under the fridge, and the villain was just ok. I am however a pretty big fan of the minor character development we get to see.

I’ve watched this movie probably like 4 times now, although it’s been a very long time, and the first time I watched this movie I loved it, the second it was ok, and the 3rd I kinda hated it. I basically got to come back with a fresh start and it was good, I noticed little plot points I didn’t before, debated whether I hated this Splinter or not 27 times, and realized Chris Evans voices Casey. This is a good movie. It’s cute, at times funny, and just genuinely a good watch for kids. 6.5/10 Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(2019)

You know I quite liked this movie. I liked the art style and all the turtles a lot?! Unlike the 2007 movie, I didn’t feel like a single character had a ton more screen time than the others and Leo had good character development! I’m also a dc fan so seeing Damian acting a bit more like a kid was great.

It’s a fun movie and they found a pretty good balance between funny and serious. I’m not 100% why Ra’s wanted to mutate all of Gotham tbh so that was kinda weird and there were some weird tone shifts with the random graphic murder. At one point Leo yelled at Raph because he could have killed these people and then I watched Donnie kill a man with a manhole cover, but Splinter finally wasn’t the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen although he also wasn’t in this movie. Overall I’d give this a 7/10. It wasn’t the best thing I’ve ever seen but it was good, I’m also craving pizza again but I’m still recovering from last time so I think I’d rather eat moldy bread. I'll be adding the rise movie after it's out but I kept getting scared I was gonna accidentally delete all this lol

#teenage mutant ninja turtles #movie review #the sleepless nights spent on this are actually astronimocal #Most of this was written at 3am so please leave my weird grammar alone #bayverse tmnt #tmnt 2007 #batman vs teenage mutant ninja turtles #actually why do we keep letting Micheal Bay make movies #I swear the script he gives Megan Fox just says *breathes heavily*#boutta tag this like it's ao3 lmao

Flavie and Ayumi Live (26 mai 2020 on YouTube francetv slash)

Translation/Summary -

(I apologise in advance for the typos. i didnt really read this over tbh)

Interviewer: Where are you at the moment?

Flav: I’m at home, in my room

Ayumi: I’m at my country house in my room. [Her friend joined her there when deconfinement happen and now they’re living their best life. There’s sun and everything is good]

Flav is chilling “la vida loca” she says

Is it not too frustrating to live this 6th season in confinement and SKAM France has a reputation of having very involved fans and with the screenings?

A: Yes, its very frustrating but then again it’s something that I haven’t really lived the projections with the fans so I dont know what it does. But just the feedback of social media is incredible. Its a good preview at what can happen in a live screening.

F: Yea I agree. It is frustrating but seeing everyone on social media is kind of reassuring and comforting and like Ayumi said, we dont know that [the screenings] so its not that frustrating.

what kind of reactions have you guys had on social media?

[flav and ayumi arguing who goes first. Its the cutest thing ever. Flav always wants ayumi to go first]

A: Just love and positivity. On my end is really incredible. I thank everyone. It’s really just incredible.

F: Its so wonderful. At night, I really try to read all the dms on instagram and even if I cant respond to everyone, know that I read everything and I translate everything that isn’t in French. If I were to reply to everyone, it would take a long time so that’s not possible. I dont speak all the languages of the world so I copy and paste is translate to understand.

-video cuts out-

I: we were talking about fan reactions so let’s continue. Have you gotten any that made you surprised, laugh, smile, made you emotional, etc?

A: what is beautiful is that ive gotten many messages from girls and boys who said that they had similar a similar relationship to Lola and Maya in the sense that one helps the other more because of addiction problems. And that’s always nice to hear that they just wanted to thank skam for writing and portraying this kind of story. And of course the reaction of la mif. It’s true the character Jo has been loved by fans. She is so funny and so great and she’s [actress who plays jo, louise] really like that in real life. Like literally from A to Z

Flav agrees.

A: “Louise just played Louise” and it’s just so funny. And everyone online says they want to be friends with jo becuase she made this joke pr did that but she’s really like that.

F: she’s always joking

A: and she just comes up with stuff on the spot

I: we really just can’t wait to see La Mif reunite and see how they are in real life because they are just awesome on screen.

Flav and ayumi agree

I: Maya’s arrival to the season that was a little intense, let’s not lie, is like a ray of light. What does that do to you for having that role of the character who brings light and wonder? (This is kinda hard to translate)

A: its incredible to bring that kind of message, like you said, this light. She is totally this kind of girl that I would love to be friend with. It’s hard to explain. It’s just so beautiful. Maybe flav has something to say.

F: it’s true that you and La Mif brought a light for everyone. Even me when I see my family and close ones they say that they are so funny and new and that they felt my pain [as lola] even if its a show and its feels weird to see you like that because you’re close to us but seeing them [lola + la mif] is a good mix. And ayumi you bring so much like when your face lights up when Lola comes up the stairs its incredible.

A: its a chemical reaction. Its incredible. But flav I saw you on screen and everything that you brought, what David saw. And we lived it but for us it seems natural and on screen and rediscovered the characters and the chemistry at the same time as everyone else.

Flav and Ayumi saying that they havent seen the whole thing before hand and are constantly check their phone for new clips. They have the notifications for the YouTube channel.

F: we at least have the hours for the clips AT LEASTT and thankfully

A: which flav sent me because I didnt have them and she left me panicked for 2 weeks and then she finally sent them over.

F: its great. They’re on my fridge and I cross off each day with my parents and we are one it. My dad everyday is like there’s a clip. So funny.

I: Just so we’re on the same page, there’s a clip today right?

I: [fan question] what do you love the most and the least in the character you play?

A: flav please start

F: I love her “who the fuck are you talking to me like that” and her fuck you attitude. I love that she shows off that nothing moves her but deep down not really, like everyone I guess. I love that about her and she’s so natural. I love her, I really love her. Something negative. That’s hard.

I: you are a very happy, bubbly person. Is there not her depressed, dark side that bothers you?

F: well lola is just full of emotions where we’re going to see everything. But really what I dont like is her fashion sense.

A: im dead. But I was going to say the same thing

F: maya’s fashion sense? You are crazy. And also girl it’s your clothes they used as costumes

A: no no but people have made edits with you know the big pink coat or my outfit at the supermarket and its there that I realised how ridiculous even if they not really.

F: well I think theyre great. Love the pink coat

A: ill send it to you with fedex. I dont have it but ill send it to you.

F: when we were doing costume fittings I told the costume designer that it was simple and that I would be stealing all of these looks. Im going to take a suitcase, im going to take ayumi’s clothes, put them in my suitcase and go back to Vance with them. And I took nothing from lola by the way. She just doesn’t have a style. She doesn’t neglect herself but its her I dont care attitude, again.

A; I love maya’s engagement and her will towards everything and everyone. Shes a teenager but that’s beautiful to be engaged in many causes. She just really wants everyone, her friends, to be well and happy. But otherwise things I dont like outside of her clothes I dont know. Clothes is like the best answer

F: you forgot about her makeup. The makeup artist did her eyeliner and dots under the eyes and I was there like do the same thing with me!

A: that is really the best thing in all of humanity. It was so cool.

F: honestly. The makeup artist gave everything on you but on me she went in the morning like poof poof ‘well that’s it honey, there’s nothing else I can do for you’

A: you forgot the drama hair!

F: oh my god. She would pour oils and everything you want on my head. “You could like cook French fries”

A: flavie says that but you know she can wear whatever she wants and still look good

F: awe I love you

I: Did the age difference between you hinder your ability to be friends?

A: no not at all. What do you think flav?

F: not at all. Im just the baby of the group, im the youngest but we all so dumb together that we don’t realise

A: exactly. We all act like we’re 7

F: all of us together is horrible. The whole mif. Intolerable.

I: how was youre guy’s first meet?

F: ok let me tell you from my point of view because its quite funny.

A: she was so annoying. She looked at me all weird. she was not cool No that’s not true at all. She was adorable. Trop cute

F: I arrive to the production offices and im with David signing contracts and he says don’t move I have a surprise. And im like oh no what has he brought me a croissant or something and he brings back ayumi. So we start talking for like 10 minutes and I did not who she was actually. And I was like who tf is this. I did not know. And im one point im like so she’s the one who plays Maya? It was so funny. It was cool. And then he brought Maxence

A: from my point of view, flavie was so shy and locked off. And I knew who she was and I was honoured and thrill. She was so small and closed off. But honestly NOT AT ALL. i quickly understood the next day that flavie is a bomb! You understand ?

F: at first maybe you were like “I just want to protect this little thing.”

I: so what was the first scene that you guys filmed together?

Ayumi makes it clear that it’s a scene that hasn’t been released yet. And Flavie can’t remember what it is.

A: flav, you are putting our whole relationship in question!

F: I just dont know!

A: ok but the second scene we did together was the scene of Saturday morning after the first urban party

F: OHHH you right! I remember now!

I: but that’s a great scene that fans loved because of the chemistry and people loved it. How did you create that complexity? Was it the writing or did you try to meet up on your own?

F: honestly, not that much because the problem is that I live in Vance. We really tried to see each other but trains made it difficult to see each other just us two, but it still worked somehow. We worked a lot with David but not so much just us too and yet we still manage to create something really strong and powerful.

A: in between scenes we also just talked all the freaking time. And by the time David said action, it was like we just finishing our conversation in the scene.

F: every morning we were always happy to see each other and we didn’t see each other that much but that honestly wasn’t a problem at all.

I: in the YouTube comments, everyone is slightly making fun of flavie for living so “far”

A: [also starts making fun of flavie] oh yea yea basically 45 minutes.

F: BY TRAIN! By car its like 2 hours and a half, so sorry.

A: you don’t even have a driver license! So you have to take the train!

F: alright I almost have my drivers license! Soon supposedly! And don’t worry ill come pick you up in my ride!

Ayumi makes more fun of Flavie for her hours of driving and her basically driving illegally (in France you can only drive at 18 and flav is 17)

I: what was the most difficult scene to film for you?

F: well im not gonna answer. I can’t answer

A: honestly I dont have any. Oh wait yes yes yes! I just remembered. Flav you do know! It’s the scene where I tell you that ive missed you.

F: oh right! You were sick right!

A: yea I had shrimp for lunch. Bad shrimp and in the scene im in process of dying. I have never been in more pain and discomfort.

F: and I was like why is she angry at me? What did I do?

A: and flav is like are you okay and thank god you were there flav because she was telling me breathe and take it slow. It was the difficult

F: for me the most difficult that we’ve seen is was hard because of weather conditions. It was so cold on the whole set but it was the one where we were around the fire and jo sees eliott for the first time, the first urbex party. We were getting fire embers in our eyes so we were all crying and complaining. It was awful. Louise was actually crying so so hard.

A: it was so funny. Louise was actually crying and was joking at the same time whilst crying. We were laughing so hard.

The say that night was still a lot of fun and then they all went to Quentin’s apartment [actor who plays sekou] and the ambiance on set is better than on screen. It was a lot of fun

A: la mif always has a great time, messing around

F: David would say “FOCUS FOCUS”

I: it was mid November, and we all know skam france shooting is very intense and fast. So David was like a police officers. We cant wait to see the behind the scenes. David in the comments says thank you to all the extras who were there until 4am

F: oh yea honestly. Thank you– just thank you

A: oh yea flav thanks for that. Its great.

I: we know there’s a clip today with a reunion. And fans are expecting a kiss. Are we getting that moment today?

(Silence)

A: listen if there is a kiss, it will happen at a perfect moment

I: there is a lot of pressure on this kiss becuase there are so many people from the LGBTQ+ community who are saying that this kind of relationship is rarely seen on screen. Do you feel the need to do good?

F: its so well written and directed that we do want to do really well. Ok your turn

A: the want to do good, of crows but its already something we want to do. We are not forcing ourselves, because its already there.

They say that its sad for the time being that they have to continue to fight for rights in the LGBTQ community and Ayumi says that with SKAM its all going to change. They always get lovely messages thanking them.

They talk about the ship name and how fans have decided that is going to be Mayla. Ayumi is happy that its Mayla. Flav wanted Loyla. Ayumi says it was their first “fight” and they weren’t agreeing. Even la mif voted on the ship. It was heavily debated.

I: Are we right to have so much faith in Mayla or are you going to break our hearts?

F: for that you’ll have to keep watching

A: well said flav

F: l’amour gange toujours

I: what is next for you two?

F: not much. Im seeing friends at a distant. Stay safe. I was starting to miss my social life. Not going out too much because I really dont want to get “this vicious/awful thing” so yea “la vida loca”

F: project wise everything is on pause but im on a good path. Crossing my fingers. If it happens it happens. Its destiny

A: its destiny. Same thing. There was a movie that stopped before quarantine and won’t start again but there are castings. Until filming starts again, we are all waiting.

I: it’s funny, everything something is said, it gets translated in the comments in five or six languages. Have you taken something from your character and have you left them something?

A: her joy to live at everything. And give her my body to just exist

F: what I took, well nothing. I gave her 7kg more. Well actually I took from her 7kg. That’s it!

I: who forgets their lines the most?

F: ME! But you too kinda. You just talk SOOO fast you start to stutter

A: I talk too fast and then I stutter and it was so cold that that doesn’t help. So in front of flavie, she really made fun of me.

F: I didnt always forget but sometimes when its really long I forgot.

#Flavie Delangle #ayumi roux #skam france #sarah speaks french*#this took a lot longer than i thought #long post #its so long yall #im sorry

Honestly, I hate Damon, not Elena. Because Elena was only what like 17? She never had a chance to grow as a person tbh because of Damon and even Stefan but that was only at some points. Elena was a hypocrite in the beginning but she wasn't awful, her relationship with Damon turned her into an awful person example Damon persuaded her to turn her humanity off instead of comforting her and being there for her. Damon tricked her into drinking his blood, he knew Elena was desperate. He could have acted more rationally but he didn't because he wanted Elena. Damon kept showing Elena his 'good side' to trick her even more into thinking that he was a good person when he clearly wasn't. I think Elena was just an immature teenage girl who was manipulated into making bad decisions by Damon, who was nothing but a cheap narcissistic psychopath.

yeah i understand that, elena was fine to me as a human tbh, it was Vampire!Elena that bothered me the most. she was only a teenager when she turned so i don’t fault her for making immature decisions at times, but so much of her character became intolerable after becoming a vampire and thats not exactly her fault either.

i don’t like Vampire!Elena mostly because of bad writing and character regression. she was written to be codependent with damon and excuse all of his bad behavior because becoming a vampire “changed her” which is honestly so ridiculous. none of the other characters who turned into vampires changed that much. i think julie just wanted an excuse to have elena be with damon and benefit from fanservice, and elena’s character suffered the consequences of it. elena is just another victim of julie’s and while that’s not elena’s fault, by the end, i was just rooting for her to be gone tbh. it would have been better than her ending up with damon that’s for sure

#i hope this isnt rambly and makes sense lmao #but yeah she’s def not the worst character in the franchise. there are just other tvd characters that i find so much more appealing #elena gilbert #anti delena #allanastvdu #anon #allana answers

Unpopular opinion: The whole "Netflix Darklina" makes me feel uncomfortable. Ben Barnes is almost 40, while Jessie Mel Li is 25. It kinda grosses me out. I know the actors aren't together, but even before I knew their real ages, you can tell by just looking at them that, that's a grown ass man and a young woman. It's kinda creepy :/

I haven’t seen a scene of them together except for the kiss, but I got to a point in the first book when it looks like things aren’t going to progress further? Tbh I’m kind of relieved because when we met the Darkling and Alina went ‘he looks my age’ and then she went ‘he must be much older’ and also ‘my heart was beating very fast’ I had to stop and lean against a tree in sheer exhaustion (I listen to books when walking, otherwise I could have just leaned back and sighed theatrically while letting the book fall to the floor). Like I do not know what’s up with YA and immortal creeps getting involved with 16-yo girls. I do not. I’m sorry but there is no good way to write such an unbalanced relationship.

That said, I think tumblr has made many people a little too intolerant of age gaps between adults, which may sometimes be sketchy but are actually acceptable. Like yeah, sometimes (a lot of times) older men will seek out younger women because they’re immature assholes, but sometimes relationships are just born like that because people of different ages meet and are friends and have similar interests. When it comes to acting and coworkers, I think we can criticize casting - movies shouldn’t consistently pair men with women who’re 20 years younger, what the fuck - and in this case, yeah, maybe it would have looked a bit creepier and better if the Darkling had actually looked like a teenager, but personally I’m not disturbed by the implications of a 25-yo actress kissing a 40-yo actor on set. I think there are much more intimate things to film than kisses and even sex, and as long as the director and the crew handle sensitive scenes professionally, it’s all good. I don’t know where you’re from, but I think some societies are way more segregated by age than others, so maybe that’s another reason why a couple with an obvious age gap is an immediate red flag for you?

But I agree that fandoms can always be counted upon to worship the worst possible character/pairing on any show. There’s such an obsession to see women end up with their (much older) abuser, and a lot of it seems to come from female fans, I don’t really know what to make of it. If A Streetcar Named Desire came out today, you’d see #blanley trending everywhere and thousands of ‘light bondage, noncon if you blink, enemies-to-lovers’ fics on AO3. Like I know it’s only fiction, but it’s never ‘only fiction’ and I don’t like this kind of stuff.

#ask #discourse #negativity #grishaverse #like amazing this stuff was handled better #by interview with the fcking vampire #than it is by any ya show or movie today #imagine that

Tell us about yourself!

Yikes! So I didn't really know where to begin with this one, Well I was born on the banks of the river... Nah! So I googled “fun get to know me questions” and the resulting questionnaire had 371 questions. I decided to answer the first 100!

Strap yourself in, because HERE WE GO!

1. What is your full name?

Red is Riding ;)

2. What does your name mean?

Funny story, so I actually created this alias to partake in some underground hedonistic activities. When I went to start my Tumblr I just decided to use the same one because I’m not very creative and didn’t want to make up a new one. I never thought that this blog would become as popular as it has, and now I couldn’t be bothered changing the name. It does make me laugh though, if only you people knew what I used to get up to under this alias.

3. Are you named after anyone?

Little Red Riding Hood?

4. Does your name make any interesting anagrams?

I don’t think so, but maybe someone smarter than me could figure it out.

5. If you had to change your first name, what would you change it to?

I would probably change my real first name if I could as unfortunately I share it with a reasonably well known facist.

6. Where are you from?

A small European country.

7. Where were you born?

In the capital city of that small European country.

8. Where did you grow up?

In the suburbs of the capital of that small European country.

9. Who did you look like growing up?

A member of the band Hanson, if they had red hair and wore those terrible 2000’s wire rimmed glasses.

10.What are your best characteristics?

11.What are your favorite things about yourself?

Honestly, I’ve great boobs.

12.Which of your parents are you closest to?

Depends on my mood.

13.Which of your parents are you more like?

14.Are your grandparents still married?

Yep, on one side. On the other side my grandad is dead and has been for a very long time.

15.What relative was important to you growing up & why?

I guess my grandparents, they are the only members of the extended family I ever really saw growing up. I was never close to my uncles, and my aunts and cousins all live in different countries.

16.What is one thing that you’ve never revealed to your parents?

Anything about my love life, we just don’t talk about it. Ever!

17.What would your parents have named you if you were the opposite gender?

I’m actually not sure. I know they had lots of other traditionally female names picked out, but I don’t know any male names they had for me. I’m not sure if they knew early on if I was going to be a girl, would make sense though.

18.What do you call your grandparents?

I call one of my grandmother’s by her first name, and my grandad, grandad.

19.What is your best physical feature?

My boobs!…I have pretty eyes too.

Having all my joints simultaneously dislocate.

22.What is your biggest regret?

The way I’ve treated certain people over the years.

23.What is your eye colour?

Blue.

24.What inspires you?

Hope that tomorrow can be better.

My family, and my future.

26.What has required the most courage of you in your life so far?

Hummm, I’m really not sure about this one.

27.Who is your favourite actor?

I truly could not name a single actor.

28.Who is your favourite actress?

As above.

29.Who is your favourite celebrity?

I genuinely have no idea.

30.Who is your favourite musician?

Lorde has been getting me through this quarantine, but my favourite singer/band is/are Florence + the Machine. Maybe that dates me.

31.Who’s your favourite person in the world?

I can’t choose just one!

32.What is your favourite childhood memory?

33.What is your favourite colour?

Teal.

34.What is your favourite cultural activity?

Water is the thing I drink most often. I don’t like tea or coffee, and I only drink alcohol in social settings not alone of an evening.

36.What is your favourite fairytale?

I’m actually not sure. I know it’s not quite the same but I was never allowed to watch the Disney princess films growing up (a lot of which are based on fairytales) so I can’t say I am particularly attached on any. Although, in answering this question I have remembered by blog name so I probably should say Little Red Riding Hood.

37.What is your favourite food?

Potatoes, they are so wonderfully versatile, I will never get bored eating them.

38.What is your favourite holiday destination?

There is so much of the world I have not yet seen and I cannot wait until we’re allowed to travel again. The last big trip I was on was to Canada, Vancouver, and it was amazing.

39.What is your favourite ice-cream flavour?

Ice cream does not agree with me at all, I always thought I was lactose intolerant because of it (I’m not), but I did love a pistachio ice cream as a kid.

40.What is your favourite music genre?

According to Spotify my most listened to genre is “alternative” whatever that means.

41.What is your favourite physical activity?

Hiking.

42.What is your favourite quote?

I don’t believe I have one. I do know someone who has “live laugh love” tattooed on their foot. Take from that what you will.

43.What is your favourite snack?

Tbh I don't really snack (am I coming across as awfully boring in these questions?) I love three big meals a day. I will eat an apple or something if I need something pre dinner.

44.What is your favourite song?

Either Fascination by Alphabeat, Prayer in C by Lily Wood and the Prick, and Robin Schulz, or Brimful of Asha by Cornershop, the Fat Boy Slim Remix. Those songs never fail to put me in a good mood when I need it.

45.What is your favourite sport?

To watch? Rugby. But I am OBSESSED with the Olympics, especially the winter olympics.

46.What is your favourite time of the day?

Early evening.

47.What is your favourite type of clothing?

Dresses…with pockets! Or jumpers, I love a big wooly jumper.

48.What is your favourite way to pass time?

Read.

49.What is the name of your favourite restaurant?

My favourite restaurant is called Dishoom, but unfortunately it has yet to make it to my little European country, so it’s a real treat if I get to eat there.

50.What is your all-time favourite town or city? Why?

I don’t have one.

51.What is your favourite candle scent?

Probably a classic vanilla, but not an overpowering one. The vanilla candle from IKEA is the NICEST.

52.What is your favourite social media channel?

Probably Twitter, although Tumblr is my place for escape.

53.Where’s your favourite place to take an out-of-town guest?

Ugh I hate being the one to choose where we go. I think it’s because I’m a Libra.

54.What was your favourite subject in High School?

Okay now this is a fun fact, I didn’t actually go to school. I was “Home Educated” which is ideologically different form being Home Schooled. There was no curriculum for me to follow so I could basically dick about doing whatever I wanted during the day. I did study Law which I really enjoyed, and I went onto study it at University.

55.What was your least favourite subject in High School?

Again see above. Although I do remember crying every time my father tried to teach me maths. To this day, I’m still not sure how to work out a percentage, let alone anything more advanced than that.

56.What was your favourite TV show when you were a child?

Sabrina the Teenage Witch (the Melissa Joan Heart version) or anything with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in it (have I dated myself again?)

57.What do you love about your favourite TV Show?

They were fun. I wanted to be them!

58.Are you scared of heights?

Nope, but I’m scared of falling and shattering all the bones in my legs.

59.Are you high maintenance?

Definitely not.

60.Are you more inclined to “build your own empire” or unleash the potential of others?

I don’t know what this means, but fuck imperialism.

61.Are you more likely to avoid conflict or engage it head-on?

Ugh, I hate conflict, like I go all trembly, but if there is something amiss I can’t not confront it.

62.Are you a dog person or cat person?

I really adore animals, I had hoped to get a cat during this long and lonely lockdown but my landlord wasn’t keen. If I had more time and space I would love to get a dog, it’s just not feasible in my life at the moment.

63.Are you a fan of any sports team?

Just my national team no matter what the sport.

64.Are you a good cook?

I like to think so.

65.Are you an early adopter or late-adopter?

Depends. I don’t always love change.

66.If you had more courage what would you do differently in your life now?

I don’t think having more courage would change anything in my life right now.

67.What is good about how you are living your life right now?

Oh gosh, I’m so incredibly lucky to have the like that I am living right now. Truly blessed, but at the same time, I have got here because of all my hard work and determination.

68.If you could eliminate one weakness or limitation in your life, what would it be?

I’m not sure if this strictly answers the question, but I wish I could be kinder and more sympathetic to people. I can be harsh on people I care about because I want to see them do well in life and get frustrated when they are doing things that so obviously curtails their ability. I’ve lost friends because of it.

69.Who has left the most impact on your life?

I don’t think I can name just one person.

70.What aspect of your life needs tremendous improvement?

My love life. It’s not existent. Truly. I don’t even have a far away crush on anyone at the moment. I desperately want to experience romantic love, but it’s scary and you have to allow yourself to be soft and vulnerable which is not something that I am very good at. I also have a lot of negative thoughts/self doubts about whether I am good enough to be in a relationship, or worthy enough for love. It’s stupid, obviously, everyone, flaws and all is worthy of love, but because of things that have happened/been said to me I do kind of have this negative chatter of “who could ever love me” or fear people thinking “god love the poor guy who ends up with her.” All that said, I have never actually met anyone who I’ve really liked, let alone anyone who has liked me back. The closest I’ve got, is I’ve been in lust twice in my life with guys, who objectively speaking, I would never think I would be attracted to.

71.What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen in your life?

I’ve see a lot of weird things tbh, but the first one that springs to mind is that every year we used to go to these big gatherings of families who home educate their children. Now, there are two groups of people that tend to home educate their children 1) EXTREMELY religious families who don’t want their children going to secular schools, and 2) new age hippies who don’t want their children to have to conform to the rigours of school. When these two groups meet…it is interesting. The religious families usually have a lot of children (10+ in many cases), while the hippy families wander around semi-nude and breast feed their children until their grown (7+ years in many cases). So at these home education conferences, the hippy parents would be wandering around, leaky boobs out, and the religious babies would be wandering around because their parents have too many children to keep track of. Whenever one of these babies wandered within range of the hippy parents, they’d take them, and latch them onto their breasts. Absolutely bizarre stuff.

72.Who is the best teacher you’ve ever had?

Myself.

73.Who is the biggest pack rat you know?

I don’t know what this means.

74.Who is the first person you call when something exciting happens?

If it’s a big enough deal to call someone, I’ll call my parents, but usually if something exciting happens I’ll just message my friend group.

75.Who is the first person you call when something horrible happens?

Same as above.

76.Who is the worst boss you’ve ever had?

I had to sue her to get her and her husband to pay me for the work I did.

77.Can you close your eyes and raise your eyebrows?

Yep? Can you not?

78.Can you do a split?

No, but I want to learn! I have really tight hamstrings so that would be good to stretch them.

79.Can you touch your nose with your tongue?

No. Can you?

80.Can you whistle?

Yeah.

81.Can you dance?

Everyone can dance, the question is whether you can dance well or not! I have no rhythm or style, but get me on a dance floor and I’ll bop my socks off.

82.Do you remember your dreams?

Sometimes.

83.Do you save old greeting cards and letters? Throw them away?

I save them for a while, but I’m not overly sentimental.

84.Do you sing in the shower?

Never.

85.Do you sleep with the lights on or off?

Off.

86.Do you spell the colour as grey or gray?

Grey you weirdo!

87.Do you take any pills or medication daily?

Never.

88.Do you prefer kissing or cuddling?

I like kissing because it’s hot and fiery and I think I’m reasonably good at it. Cuddling is the best but it’s something I struggle with as I find it far too intimate. See my answer to Q70.

89.Do you prefer that people shoot straight with you or temper their words? Why?

Hit me between the eyeballs with the truth, please! I just like people who are clear and direct about their intentions, it means everyone knows where they stand.

90.Do you prefer Titanic or The Notebook?

I saw a black and white documentary about the Titanic when I was a very small child (maybe about 5 or 6) and for a long time I thought that was the movie Titanic! I have seen neither the real film Titanic nor the Notebook, although from what I know of the latter I don’t think it would be my thing.

91.Do you have a catchphrase?

I don’t think so, but maybe people in my life would be better at answering this question. What is it that I say a lot?

92.Do you have a garden?

I wish!

93.Do you have a hidden dream that you’ve never shared with anyone?

I’m taking this to mean a goal or aspiration, and not something that I have subconsciously dreamed and been too embarrassed to share? I would love to write a book one day. I’m work on something periodically but I’m not sure if anything will ever come from it, a gal can dream though!

94.Do you have a tattoo?

None! I’m kind of a commitment-phobe, I’m not sure if you’ve noticed?

95.Do you have a whole lot of acquaintances or just a few very close friends? Why?

Both! I know lots of people in passing, but the people I consider actual friends, who know what is going on in my life at any given time, I could count on my fingers.

96.Do you have any allergies?

Not that I’m aware of…

97.Do you have any birthmarks? If so, where?

I used to have one on my back, but it’s faded as I’ve aged.

98.Do you have pets?

Not at the moment.

99.Do you hold any convictions that you would be willing to die for?

That is a big question. I think however, if there was a guarantee, that sacrificing my life would make the lives of others immeasurably better, I would be scarified. I have plenty of convictions that I’m willing to protest/riot/go to prison for.

100.Do you carry a donor card?

Bit ominous after Q99 but yes I do, and my driver’s licence states that I’m a donor.

I’m not sure if this is at all what you were hoping for in asking this, but I honestly had the best fun answering these questions! :)

99 IMPORTANT CHARACTER QUESTIONS

PART 1: THE BASICS

What is your full name? Omari Rashad Beckham

Where and when were you born? 3/18/1993

Who are your parents? Rodney Beckham; Rodney is an established real estate agent. He’s a firm believer in discipline and earning everything w/ no handouts. Though he’s stern on me, he’s a gentle giant to my mama. Giselle Beckham; She’s an elementary school teacher with tons of patience. She's very vocal and has an answer to everything. Though she’s molded me to be her very own mama’s boy, she still allowed my dad to make me into a man.

Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like? My brother, Demetrius, passed when I was 14 and he was 15 from drowning. He was my best friend, my partner in crime and even my role model despite the closeness in our age. Our dad taught us to always have each other’s back and we never strayed from that lesson. Demetrius was more rebellious but I was never one to say no to the adventures, including our last mischievous episode where we snuck out to hang with friends at the lake.

Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people. I currently live in a 3-bedroom 2-story home in Los Angeles that was sold to me by my dad with a small ass discount. It’s not a massive house but it’s my own sanctuary for myself, my shoes and my Frenchy.

What is your occupation? I am a retired drug dealer shoe store owner.

Write a full physical description of yourself. A meal. Too many tattoos to count. Several marks from a curious childhood.

I stare people in the eyes when they talk to me, I don’t like not seeing a person’s face when they’re physically in my presence talking to me.

PART 2: GROWING UP

How would you describe your childhood in general? It was a typically decent childhood. I had a strict ass father, but that didn’t stop me and my brother from rebelling and doing our own thing.

What is your earliest memory? Being dropped off at a daycare and crying like a lil’ bitch until my mama sat down on the carpet with me. I think she snuck out on me at one point though.

Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities? My dad, my brother, the streets.

While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them. My brother, he was fearless and he was wise beyond his time. He put me onto hella game. My father as well. Even though we bumped heads alot, he taught me valuable lessons and also left me to learn a few lessons on my own.

People knowing me but me not knowing them was common.

When and with whom was your first kiss? This big booty bitch named Stacy in 5th grade. She was in 7th. I counted her as my first kiss because them other lil kisses was nothing compared to that.

Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity? Absolutely not. I lost it in 8th grade to my homeboy’s big sister.

Describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today. After my brother died, I shut down. Nothing was worth experiencing without my him with me. I briefly dropped out of school unbeknownst to my parents and that’s when I got introduced to the trap. I started doing runs for the big guy and the money was good.

hello, hello, hello! this is cha hyunwoo, #1 resident prankster and a general M E S S™ extraordinaire. my page is about 0% complete but i was too excited (ok fine i have to go sleep soon b/c i have to get up early tmr). in the meantime, here’s a general outline of things about hyunwoo!! (pls love me)

( some things to note — )

( CISMALE ) — CHA HYUNWOO has been in the news lately, have you heard ? the 21 year old LEAD DANCER AND RAPPER from PE4K? the one that looks a lot like KIM MINGYU? apparently HE bumped into a fan earlier today and was acting pretty RECKLESS & OVERCRITICAL, which is not exactly like the LAIDBACK & CHEERFUL behavior they usually advertise.

his birth name is cha hyunwoo, and he was born in seoul.

he grew up with his grandmother because he was the result of a teenage pregnancy (don't be silly wrap your willy kids) gone wrong a.k.a. both parents weren’t ready and honestly could not care less about his existence.

his grandmother just told everyone she got a little frisky when she was a little older (#bless)

he worked in his grandma’s tteokbokki stall for the most of middle school and a bit of high school before he was scouted while working

tbh he thought the guy was a scammer and dropped it somewhere (typical)

the guy came back, like, four times before hyunwoo finally remembered where he sticks them during his shift (surprise, it’s in his apron)

always liked singing but got the rapper position because he was quite witty (and, apparently, p humble too) and had a deep voice

loves dancing too, likes hep-hop dance more than anything else but always open to trying new things

honestly, a generally kind person who’s always accidentally-on-purpose getting into trouble but he has a lot of Inner Things 2 deal with

headcanons:

the kind of person to pet stray cats and then somehow ended up with sixeen cats following after him and approximately 2000+ scratches all over his face

also the type to aggressively eat the brownie that you’ve made even tho he’s lactose intolerant

never early always late (sorry)

( some plots to consider — )

okay #calledout, i’m too lazy to try and put everything coherently in a separate page so imma offer you all a 2-for-1 deal and ramble on about p o t e n t i a l plots that could work with hyunwoo moving forward. of course, of course, everything’s definitely open to discussion so don’t forget to hmu (even if none of these interest you!!!

⇒ in general... friends (best, good, hi-bye) are always needed and highly wanted; enemies are great too (but pls be nice to his tender soul); childhood friends; practice partners; yadayada

but, if we’re talking things more specific...

⇒ self-proclaimed #1 prankster in the house. maybe he has a prank war with someone and he’s not doing so good, and the other person wants his title. or, maybe, he has a friend who’s always up for pranking others. hey, if you can’t beat them, join them right?

⇒ inversely, someone who’s always being pranked by him would be h i l a r i o u s too. no worries, hyunwoo doesn’t mean harm on anyone and (generally) knows his limit. but your character’s reaction? too good to give up.

⇒ hyunwoo loves singing much more than he likes rapping, but he lacks the vocal power or tone to become a full-fledged idol singer... even though he wanted to become a singer from the very first moment he held a mic. sure, rapping is fun, but having a character who’s going to teach him from the base up about vocal techniques (he’s a lil’ shy that he likes singing). hey, we can even lead to them releasing a duet in the near future~

⇒ ssshhhh, trainees aren’t supposed to date but they were young and they were in love (or so they thought). sure, they’ve parted ways since (amicably or not?? probably not considering emotions were prob p high but respectful exes are always 2000% cool). maybe the two have been paired up for some reality show, or perhaps they’ve just bumped into each other somewhere. awkwardness ensues.

⇒ honestly this is the one plot i’m super excited to write out. hyunwoo is going to meet his birth mother and expectations are sky-high. but, spoiler alert, it isn’t going to end well. so, we’d need friends who are by his side through this Terrible time. but, more importantly, it’d be great to have a character on-site who has accompanied him for moral support. maybe your character would launch into a 2-hour long.pptx presentation on why Your Son Is The Best and You Suck. maybe your character would launch into a fist-fight with a thirty-two y/o lady. or, maybe, your character would silently judge from the side, and escort him away before he starts crying. while i don’t have it planned in the next few days, it’d be great to have friends who know of his circumstance and good friends are always brilliant to have around.

or, just, honestly?? anything works and i’m just super excited tbqhhhh. drop me an im or we could talk over discord and let’s get this started!!!

#entintro #tags aren't working but ;)))

( alexander vlahos, 26, he/him) silence! can you not see his majesty, anton louis augustus luxemburg, has arrived? It seems the prince of germany is willing to compromise for peace, which is surprising when everyone calls them the lost soul. have you tried approaching them? i heard they can be rather superficial + impetuous, but their staff say that they’re energetic + compassionate.

we interrupt this broadcast to bring you courage the cowardly dog show, starring courage, the cowardly - okay, no.

hiya, i’m bella, and i’ve been lowkey stalking the tag for ages, but i was too chicken to actually apply. i live in the gmt zone, but i’m on holiday in india, so i’m currently five and a half hours ahead. my posting times might be insane bc of that, but i can’t wait to plot with all of you!!!

also, you can always contact me on my personal or skype, so call me beep me if you wanna reach me - i swear that’s the last cartoon reference i make promise ( i am probs lying ).

here’s a lil more ‘bout my bean:

you can call him whatever you like tbh

anton or louis or you bastard

he is the youngest german prince, and since their mother died birthing him, he was completely overlooked by the king who preferred franz over his other sons

basically his dad hated him

a. he wasn’t franz

b. he “killed” his mum

so daddy no like

cue dramatic teenage angst

so instead, he was raised by alexandra and friedrich - two people he loves v much

( i could have made a fairly odd godparents joke, but i promised )

i mean he likes franz too but y’know

give me love, franz by ed sheeran feat. anton - a new single, coming soon to bern

anyway, so anton was never the favourite anything

he wasn’t the golden boy like franz, never destined to be king

but he also wasn’t the beloved daughter of the late king like alexandra

or militarily supported like friedrich

or even missed like maximilian, who may not have been liked in life but was remembered in death enough times

( also okay he never really knew maximilian so he gets a lil salty when someone talks about him )

( lookin at u friedrich )

basically, he’s the political equivalent of one of queen elizabeth’s corgis

he’s got an in with the palace, but he’s kinda decorative at this point

that’s why he’s called the lost soul

plus his dad would accuse him of killing his mother every now and then so he doesn’t exactly think the best of himself

< / 3

i mean, he functions as a prince: he can secure an alliance through marriage, but like.

that’s about it tbh, he doesn’t have a PURPOSE, which has driven him up the wall

so he’s become a bit of a brat

he does what the others can’t openly do - basically he’s a royal mess

he just has a bunch of fun tbh; he likes to drink and sleep around and shit like that

he takes full advantage of the fact that he’s a prince but has no ~ duties

though he’s a party boy with some restraint

also he’s gay and biromantic because i am just gonna go with it

( he’d rather not with labels but for the sake of explanation )

mostly prefers men but it’s not an issue

give me a german advisor or some diplomat or servant or anything because forbidden relationships are the best

can i make a romeo and juliet joke

except romeo and jules too because #gay

he’s a casual emo ( a part-time emo, if you like ) who likes to read and paint and go on long rides and hang around by himself with his dog otto

but he’s also a very sociable person at times, and there’s scarcely a person he doesn’t get on with so all the friends

unless someone is an asshole. then he doesn’t.

all anton really wants is for all the family shit to end ‘cause he’s sick of it

like please stop fighting i’m getting a headache

why can’t you all just love each other

he may be the 17th Century equivalent of the LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE kid

........

okay so he’s got his own lil dynamics with his siblings, but i imagine he has his opinions about their significant others etc etc ???

give me relationships with that too pls i beg

also he probs gets along with franz’ kids ????

um um okay so what else i am horrid at these

he’s in a full-time relationship with his hair

he really doesn’t ever want to get married, and i suspect he’ll act like a goddamn brat to keep it from happening

all he really wants is love but he’s prickly af about it

you can probably find him in the library or outside

may or may not treat a wine glass like an appendage

he is 100% loyal to the people he cares about

but he’s a lil bit broken from all the childhood drama

literally any kind of connection would work; come at him

people his age he might have met at court??? ( he’s 26 so )

people who hate him? people he hates?

old friends? new friends? fun friends? anything?

can you tell i just woke up from a nap

also his theme song is probably either candy by aaron carter (wow remember him?)

or arsonist’s lullabye by hozier

or teen idle by marina and the diamonds

...teen arsonist’s candy ?????

i don’t make the rules that’s what it is

anyway, HIT ME UP OR LIKE THIS POST TO PLOT!!!!!!! i’m up for anything!!!

All the Disney asks :D

challenge fucking accepted, friend

Aurora: Story of your first kiss.

All right listen up folks because this is probably gonna be the best story of them all as I’m going to get progressively more tired as this post goes on. It was a dark and stormy night - actually, it was in the middle of the day, and I was on my first real date. No, I was not a teenager. And he couldn’t drive so I’d brought my car to the train station to pick him up before going on. Anyway so I should point out that this dude was older than me but even less experienced. Like some painfully shy nerd or something. Like, I’d never kissed before, but I knew how to kiss, right?

He sure did not know how to kiss. Like the dude hadn’t even looked at a single youtube tutorial or something. He was not prepared. So when the time came to kiss, time kinda slowed down, and I was like, omg, here it comes, me first kiss at last, get ready for the fireworks, here it comes.

And this dude right, this fully grown man, SMASHES his face against mine so that my head slams back against the car seat, LATCHES onto my mouth with his like a vice, our teeth clash and his tongue rams straight down my throat.

So I’m sitting there on the receiving end of this absolutely terrible kiss, this guy’s tongue is waggling wildly against my tonsils, and I just feel so fucking exasperated, like, I feel like in the movie of my life, the camera should have freeze-framed on me at that moment, and a voiceover would’ve come in like “Yep, that’s me there, the girl with the tongue down her throat. I suppose you’re wondering how I got myself into this situation. Well…”

Rapunzel: 5 things from your bucket list.

I don’t have one so I’m just gonna make up some things now that sound like they would be pretty awesome: 1. Become proficient at astral projection so I can go on spooky adventures in my sleep, 2. Write a book that gets a movie AND video game adaptation, 3. Set up a charity to help women fleeing from domestic abuse in countries where the law is not on their side, 4. Build my own house, 5. Get married and have an owl fly the rings down the aisle because I love owls. Ok so that started off silly and gradually turned into things that I ACTUALLY want to do.

Dory: Something someone has told you that you can’t forget.

This one’s easy, I don’t remember fucking anything.

Pocahontas: Something new you taught someone.

To love and accept themselves? I’m a teacher and a therapist so all I ever do is share my great potatoe wisdom with people young and old

Mulan: Do you trust your gut feeling?

Always!! My intuition is always good.

Jasmine: The story of when you had to really trust someone.

Ah yes, I remember the last time I fully trusted someone, it was back in 1884, I was but a young potatosaur, I was trapped in the cargo hold of a ship on the way to Newport from Argentina, and the other stowaway was a bearded vagrant who gradually began to starve as the months went by. I had to trust that man not to peel and eat me in my sleep. My life was in his hands.

Belle: Is there someone you are close to who no one else likes?

To be honest, years ago I would have had to say yes, but now I’m older and I’ve often found that if nobody likes somebody, there’s a good reason.

Ariel: Where do you think you belong, and why?

Honestly, I have no idea, and just when I think I’ve found somewhere I really belong, as a member of a community or whatever, something always happens to smash it and I have to move on. So now I try to cultivate my own personal sense of belonging separate from other people, so I belong wherever I am.

Flounder: Something that surprised you and frightened you.

Dump Truck becoming president? Brexit happening? The rising tide of racism and intolerance? The looming threat of nuclear war? Lots of things have surprised and frightened me in the past year.

Eric: Have you ever helped a stranger? What happened?

Well I remember a couple of months ago a lady’s car broke down and her husband wasn’t picking up his phone so I drove her home. Tons more vague memories come to mind but that one was pretty recent.

Aladdin: A sacrifice you made for someone.

Back on that Argentinian sailing ship, I allowed my friend the vagrant to cut a few chips out of me to save his life. I might have a hole in my side, but my heart is full of the joy of true love.

Tiana: A time you tried your hardest for something.

Probably when I was sitting my Chemistry GCSE, I was never much good at it or so I thought, but I had a teacher who really encouraged me, so I studied hard and got an A!!! Still very proud of that :]

Boo: A childhood hero.

Emmeline Pankhurst, one of the leaders of the Suffragette movement here in the UK! One badass bitch

Cruella: Something you really want but aren’t allowed to have.

Tbh I mostly just get whatever I want eventually, life’s too short to have regrets :D

Seven Dwarfs: 7 things you like in the people around you.

Alrighty so not directed at anyone in particular, some traits that I value in my friends: Kindness, honesty, sincerity, loyalty, good humour, non-judgemental, an interest and curiosity for many things.

Kronk: What are you best at in the kitchen?

First of all a moment of appreciation for Kronk, the best character. Secondly I am a rocking cook so basically I’m good at everything in the kitchen. But u know my microwave skills is off the hoooooook too

Simba: Something a parent has taught you.

How to hold my ground against people who are emotionally manipulative.

Cinderella: “A dream is a wish your heart makes.” What’s that for you?

My dreams are all dead and buried like so many potato peelings.

Nemo: Your bravest moment.

Maybe when I stood up for one of my friends in school against a thug who was threatening him, there were tons of witnesses but everybody else didn’t move a muscle.

Terk: Are you a big sister figure to anyone?

Nope.

Buzz: Your favourite fantasy world.

Do I hafta pick one? They’re all so good ;o; And I like all the ones I make the best because they’re mine and I can do what I want :D

Alice: Done drugs?

Ew, no, never.

Peter Pan: Something from your childhood you still love.

My teddy bear! And going to feed the swans at the lake near where I grew up. Been doing that all my life. :]

This was fun and also horrendous, thank you friend shoe, I hope my answers were worth it!!!

Career: Hoooooo boy I have no idea. I like learning how things are connected- maybe something about science, language, or history? 63. Favorite artist: Jazza from Draw With Jazza (I forget his real name but he’s a really fun guy) and all my friends who make art 64. Place you want to travel to: Ireland cause there’s old, pretty places. I heard something about norway having gorgeous forests?New Zealand is also gorgeous...

Favorite subject: Art cause I’ve got friends in that class, and history. Idk, any class is fascinating with the right teacher.

Turned someone down: Yes, but only after panicking, saying yes, then regretting it and admitting I don’t like them (this happened twice. Twice!) 78. sex on the first date: I’ve never even been on a date you’re overestimating how attractive I am here 79. Broken someone’s heart: I don’t think so? I hope not? 80. Had your heart broken: I’m a teenager I’ve never been in a serious relationship 81. Been arrested: Jesus christ no 82. Cried when someone died: No, even though both my mother and grandfather have died. My mom’s, I was too young to understand properly, and my grandfather, I wasn’t there and wasn’t really close to 83. fallen for a friend: Again, never been in love, but not really? I’ve thought about dating p much everyone but never really wanted to. It’s more of a ‘what if’ thing.

Do you believe in:

84. yourself: sometimes, rarely 85. Miracles: honestly? not really, unless you mean the everyday kind 86. Love at first sight: tbh sometimes. It takes effort to maintain though. 87. Santa Claus: cover your kid’s ears, folks...................no 88. Kiss in the first date: maybe. Depends how it went, and the context of the kiss (goodnight/goodbye cheek kiss? sure. random kiss while on the date? probably not.) 89. Angels: honestly maybe? I feel like if they do exist, they don’t interact with humans Other

90. current best friends name: Uhhhh I have a bunch and at least a couple would kill me if I didn’t pick them so... Amanda, Sia, and Lorena 91. Eye color: grey-green-bluish 92. Favorite movie: Don’t make me pick between The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, I can’t do it.
