Who are you? My name is Stephanie.

What are the 3 most important things everyone should know about you? -I’ve been distant and withdrawn these past few years, but I’m just a mess and wrapped up in my own head and the shit I’m dealing with and haven’t been able to really be there for anyone. It’s not that I don’t care. -I get in very moody and irritable moods. -I’m always tired and feel drained.

Where do you want to be in 5 years? I don’t know.

Are you more child-like or childish? I think I’m still a child at heart. I also feel like one when I get in my moody moods and cry over the most ridiculous things.

What is the last thing you said out loud? “Goodnight.”

How do you handle a rainy day? I don’t do anything different unless I leave the house, in which case I’d just dress differently for the weather.

Are you more of a giver or a taker? I feel like I’ve been more of a taker these past few years. 

Have you ever been given a second chance? Yes.

What holiday should exist but doesn't? I don’t know.

What do you think makes someone a hero? People have their own ideas about what makes someone a hero.

What cartoon would you like to be a character in? Hmm. Can it be something Disney?

Name one thing that turns your stomach. The smell of old food.

What keeps you from being happy? Depression.

Can you talk for one hour without using the word 'like'? *shrug* Maybe.

What gives you a peaceful feeling? Being at the beach watching and listening to the ocean waves crash in and out.

Do you ever stay up late watching infomercials? No, at night my TV is either on The Hallmark Channel, TVLand, or CMT. I remember back when I was a kid and the only thing on late at night was informercials, which really sucked when I was up late because I was sick or just couldn’t sleep. I’m glad there’s actual stuff on now on a lot of channels. But there’s also other options if there weren’t, like YouTube or a streaming services. I wish I had those as a kid.

Would you rather be part cat, or part scorpion, and why? I’ll definitely go with the cat. 

When you sleep next to someone who usually falls asleep first? I’m always last to fall asleep.

What is your usual breakfast? If I have breakfast it’s usually scrambled eggs with shredded cheese and spinach with guacamole on the side (guac and eggs are really good together). Lately, I’ve been really into breakfast sandwiches. I like to have either a croissant, english muffin, or sourdough bread with eggs, cheese, avocado, pesto, and cream cheese and 10/10 highly recommend. I also like eggs smothered with country gravy.

How quickly are you willing to take drugs to numb pain? It’s much worse to sit around and wait while it gets worse cause then the medicine takes even longer to kick in.

Have you ever had your car towed? I don’t have a car of my own.

Have you ever used Kool-Aid to dye your hair? No, but I remember a couple of my cousins did that when they were kids.

Would you rather be naked and famous or dressed and non-famous? Dressed and non-famous. This was an easy choice.

What band or singer do you believe started rock and roll? I don’t know.

If you had a large black vase what would you put in it? Flowers?

Would you rather live in the city, suburbs or the country? City.

Would you ever participate in a 'sock hop'? No.

What’s your age? I’m 31.

What’s your hair color? I think this question has been in every survey I’ve done the past few days.

What’s your eye color? This one too.

ARE YOU READY FOR A POST THAT IS WILD FROM START TO FINISH??

i will not lie to you one of my favorite “embarrassing” things to admit about myself with PRIDE is the fact that i am an ORIGINAL BEE MOVIE FAN. i will never joke about this. get fucking ready. there is a major headcanon at the end too so this is important

that is correct ladies and gents, when i was 13 bee movie came out on october 28, 2007 and i was there and i saw it 3 more times in theaters.

i owned the soundtrack too and was able to hum all the instrumentals (a couple songs i still can) and forced my poor mother to listen while she drove me to school. one of my favorite pieces of music IS STILL the first song in the film “graduation” — shoutout to still-relevant composer rupert gregson-williams

i sifted through the very agonizingly limited resources of the previous decade to find a quality pirated version of the movie within a month of the release and i made an amv. can you imagine doing something like this ten years ago? well i fucking did it and seemingly haven’t left a computer since

i owned the PS2 game and boy did i have a blast. my best friend at the time did too, she was one of those blessed people who tolerated her weird friend’s interests. we enjoyed finding the glitches throughout all the game’s hastily-made glory

and i’ll tell you with ironic love still in my heart that my favorite character was barry’s best pal adam. i named a neopet after him (a lutari, which, mind you, is the rarest neopet species of all and i still log in occasionally and i will never rid of him). i obsessed over matthew broderick’s movies and musicals because i liked to imagine my stupid favorite animated insect saying and singing things (aside from simba and ferris bueller, matthew seemed to play the same types of characters). i was also, very obviously, the biggest fucking lame ass homebodied nerd so i resonated with the character

i also downloaded some of jerry seinfeld’s standup comedy audio because 1) i enjoyed imagining barry on a stage being hilarious and 2) he was actually hilarious ok don’t give me that look i would still listen to that shit today and still laugh. i will never forget his fucking shower joke every time i try to make the water hotter or colder IT IS ALWAYS THERE IN MY HEAD WHEN I TURN THE KNOB IT HAS BEEN TEN YEARS

ANYWAY

fast forward to i don’t fuckin know, 2015 i guess? and this goddamn entire movie—literally the entire thing, because it’s the entire script—became a meme and a viral laughingstock (which i guess is another way to say meme but whatever)

i never feel as smug in my life as i do when this meme is brought up. you are all amateurs. you do not know what i have been through, but now a lucky few of you do

it’s my headcanon that Combee Movie (2007) is guzma’s most favorite movie of all time to this very day and he experienced all the stupid shit i did except it is actually still his favorite movie and he will not tolerate bad judgment like i will gladly accept it

Tagged by @thelastpilot​ i still cannot believe that you’ve ever spoken to me, hello i love you

Rules:

always post the rules

answer the questions given by the person who tagged you

write 11 questions of your own

tag 11 people

1) If you could have any pet, real or otherwise, what would it be and what would you name it?

oh god right out the gate i’m going Corny as Hell but.. i’d make... my neopet real? no no listen hear me out: i love him

okay that’s my whole argument

2) You now have the superpower to complete one menial task/chore with a snap of your fingers, which chore would you want it to be? (Ex: Dishes, laundry, grocery shopping ((you still have to pay its just deducted instantly)), other)

does homework count as a chore bc if so i choose homework & if not uhhh... scooping the cat litter

3) You can now slide into any job you want, which job are you going to pick?

well assuming everyone else keeps their jobs, i’d be an heiress. go around redistributing wealth like it’s christmas

4) Would you rather deal with extreme heat or snow and sleet?

oh, big time snow and sleet. i moved to washington from california and the novelty of snow has yet to wear off. plus i overheat really easily. sometimes at work i have to just lay on the floor like a starfish & let the tile soothe my fevered heart

5) Whats your favorite aspect of your personality?

uh... hm.... i am...... i’m very protective? 

6) What is your fallback food when eating at a new place?

chicken tenders lmao

7) Are you a “Have a million friends” kind of person, a few close friends kind of person, or a lone wolf?

Few close friends, I’d say? I generally get along with most people but actually Being Friends is still a very scary concept for me so 99% of the time i’m like... someone who’s never held a baby being asked to hold a baby. like dear god why would you entrust me with this, i’m going to break it, why is its mouth leaking, oh god oh god etc. Friendship is achieved only when the baby holder manages to stop hyperventilating and just hold the damn baby

8) You’ve gotta go toe to toe with a mythical creature. You’ll survive (probably) but it’s gonna be close. What creature do you want it to be to look as badass as possible?

hmmm... well i’m already as badass as possible & love most mythical creatures but i’d fight the Jabberwock, so we could get an accurate account of its appearance

9) What is the number on culture you wish you knew more about?

damn, number one?? probably the Rapanui? i spent a lot of time researching the island and its people and the deeper you go, the more you realize is missing. the slave trade and the missionaries destroyed almost all of their culture, moai were stolen and housed in foreign museums that didn’t believe they could walk... we can’t read rongorongo to know if it’s an independently conceived writing system, because we don’t even have the language without the tahitian transplants. if the people of rapanui had more of their culture it might help relieve some of the pressure from the government of chile, and actually get them some help. we have no idea what kind of wisdom was lost, or what really happened there, and while that’s true of a lot of the cultures i’ve studied (the hohokam spring to mind) i think the most influence could be derived from the rapanui

10) Do you prefer to do hard annoying things yourself to avoid spending money, or are you of the mind that you work hard to have money so you dont have to do stuff like that (a good example is paying Movers when changing houses)

oh i am definitely a DIY kinda person. i’m miserly to an unhealthy degree. like it’s technically hoarding but in my defense most of this garbage is only going to be garbage temporarily

11) You can have one make believe weapon (Keyblade, Master Sword, Lightsaber, Excalibur, etc.) what do you wield?

An Claidheamh Soluis! i’m a big sucker for swords but an even bigger sucker for this one specifically.

Okay! I’m tagging:

uhhhh

hm no i’m too scared to tag anyone specific right now but i’ll make some questions and y’all have at it okay bc these are some Gems and i’m v interested to see your responses. tag me in any answers yo 

1. do you have any ocs? if yes, tell me about your oldest oc. if no, tell me about your fav oc of someone else

2. bikes, skates, scootboards, etc.: which is best

3. favorite tree species and why. if you love all trees equally, favorite non-tree plant, but know that i think you’re lying about the tree thing

[oocneoblog]

Crazy and Miriam green.

Crazy

Full Name: DrSlothWannabe or Dougal Minion

Gender and Sexuality: Cis male, aromantic asexual.

Pronouns: He/him/his/his/himself

Ethnicity/Species: Halloween Moehog (or just green). Demiferal.

Birthplace and Birthdate: In tedcanon it’s Neopia Central, in pretty much every other AU he was born on Virtupets.

Guilty Pleasures: Garthroxian goo. Explosives.

Phobias: Imprisonment, homelessness, losing the ability to speak.

What They Would Be Famous For: Activism for (demiferal) Neopet rights, or for his pro-Sloth rants.

What They Would Get Arrested For: Terrorism (potentially), arson, breach of the peace.

OC You Ship Them With: Possibly one of my other demiferal OCs, but more as close companions than anything else. She probably grows to love him romantically if they ever do settle down together, but it’s unrequited.

OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Probably Calrissan. Possibly Hoope if Ted’s in a situation where Hoope is trying to torture em.

Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Science fiction, preferably with aliens in it. 

Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Murderous aliens try to destroy everything. Anarchism = chaos. Communism Bad, Free Market Capitalism Good. Those stories where the underdog wins and it’s seen as a victory but the system doesn’t change.

Talents and/or Powers: He has a knack for chemistry. He can mentally break them down into their components and combine them with other objects in a myriad of ways. He’s constantly frustrated that his hooves don’t have the dexterity required to carry out his plans, and he’s reliant on his petpet for that reason. Speaking of petpets, he’s basically the petpet whisperer.

Why Someone Might Love Them: He is passionate about his ideals and will stand up for anyone he sees being treated unfairly.

Why Someone Might Hate Them: He doesn’t really grasp the idea that pissing off someone who is physically bigger or stronger than you might be a bad idea. He is an anarchist at heart and doesn’t see why he should respect an authority just because some construct placed them above him in their made up hierarchy.

How They Change: As he grows, especially as he is introduced to other siblings and as he forms bonds with people he loves, his views grow less extreme and he gains a more empathetic view of the people around him. Seriously, he starts off as an entitled brat thinking he’s the best thing in the world.

Why You Love Them: He’s my entitled brat who thinks he’s the best thing in the world. Also he’s vulnerable and needs to be protected. Underneath all the prickliness, he has a heart of gold and he really really cares about anyone who’s suffering, including but not related to his loved ones.

Miriam Green

Full Name: Dr. Miriam Green

Gender and Sexuality: Female, probably gay

Pronouns: She/her/her/hers/herself

Ethnicity/Species: Camouflage Ogrin. Anthro.

Birthplace and Birthdate: Somewhere on Neopia.

Guilty Pleasures: Allowing her sessions to run slightly longer than they should, resulting in her staying late to complete her paperwork. It feels good.

Phobias: If she has any, she’s either buried them deep or moved on from them. Mostly she fears the day that Sloth stops listening to her.

What They Would Be Famous For: Expert psychologist, controversially willing to work for Dr. Sloth. Is probably well renowned in the professional community (or until she started working for Sloth).

What They Would Get Arrested For: She’s very savvy and law abiding. If anything it would either be for having collaborated with Sloth or for sneaking something to a patient that she wasn’t supposed to. She has principles.

OC You Ship Them With: None.

OC Most Likely To Murder Them: George Calrissan.

Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Detective novels. Especially those ones about the old lady whom no one expects to solve the murder but she does it anyway. (Miss Marple expy? Yes.)

Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Heterosexual romcom tropes. Her reaction ranges from cringe to shudder. Any kind of abuse=love trope. 

Talents and/or Powers: She’s very good at reading people, can often get as much information from what they’re not saying as what they are saying. She holds an amazing level of personal detachment while still caring about her patients’ wellbeing.

Why Someone Might Love Them: Because she is wise and empathetic.

Why Someone Might Hate Them: She Knows Too Much, and because she broke one of her principles when she started working for Sloth.

How They Change: From the moment she steps into the story, she’s pretty much a constant. She’s more of a background character than a main character really, but she plays a crucial role. She may or may not grow to regret her choice depending on how the situation changes and how much abuse of his workforce Sloth thinks he can get away with.

Why You Love Them: She’s a healer type. She’s also kickass at telling people off, and stands up for her patients’ rights when there’s some aspect of the organisation that’s causing them unwarranted anguish or distress.
