Tagged by @winepresswrath​ in meme - thanks! I did this instead of working on my writing goals and now I’m going to be up too late.

 Rules: Answer 20 questions, then tag 20 bloggers you wanna know better.  

1. Name: Elise, if you’re nasty.

2. Nickname: Lise, is the main one, partly because no one pronounces the first vowel of my name right and generally ends up just eliding the schwa; I was previously known as Min for a long stretch of my internet career.

3. Zodiac sign: “The Pisces supervillain is the most attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and therefore, capable of the most sadistic forms of evil.”

4. Height: 5′6″

5. Languages: English, I took three years of Latin in college and remember bits and pieces of it, mostly grammatical because I’m shit at vocabulary, a little bit of Norwegian, I’m working on Hebrew, sort of, but it’s been a while.

6. Nationality: US-ian.

7. Favourite season: Seasons where I don’t feel like I’m going to die of heat, so basically all of them other than summer. Well, I’m okay with summer when the temperature stays under 80 degrees or I have a proximate body of water I can throw myself into, but otherwise, not a fan.

 8. Favourite flower: for a long time my stock answer for this was “iris” and that’s still kinda true, but I also find that I gravitate less toward flowers these days generally and more toward other greenery, especially trees. If pressed, though...cherry trees are lovely, of course. And I’m weirdly fond of trilliums.

 9. Favourite scent: cedar or pine, ocean smell, fresh water (like, the smell of a clean stream, you know?)

10. Favourite colour: Variants of turquoise, mostly, but also dark purple, dark green, and combinations of both with black.

11. Favourite animals: anything canine, anything pinniped, anything cephalopod. 

12. Favourite fictional character: If anyone has ever called a character a “problematic fave” I probably love them. My type is so reliably predictable that pretty much anyone who knows me can look at a piece of media and immediately peg which character will be my favorite. I’ve mostly given up on shame about this.

If I had to pick a few...right now since The Untamed is owning my heart it’s Wei Wuxian and the Gremlin Himself (Xue Yang); but long term as particularly near and dear I’d throw in Loki, Celegorm, Felix Harrowgate, and Maeglin. And I’m def forgetting people.

There’s a couple outliers in there like Rand al’Thor and my weird thing for Robb Stark (idk, okay, also this is bookverse specific I like the dumb kid one). Also Natasha Romanov (comics and MCU verse) and Laura Kinney (mostly the comics one). 

I love a lot of characters, is the gist of this. But mostly the problematic ones.

13. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate: Tea most often, though I have a special spot in my heart for hot chocolate. Coffee is the only real hard no.

14. Average hours of sleep: On average 7-8, though on a bad night I’ve been known to do 13-14.

15. Dog or cat: I love my cat but I vibe more generally with dogs as a class of creature. I like specific cats; I see a dog and I just get excited on principle.

16. Number of blankets you sleep with: As of my birthday, if I include the sheet, it’s two - a down comforter and a weighted blanket. The latter is currently my favorite thing and I’m so happy about it. 

17. Dream tip: The only dreams I have that I remember are excruciatingly realistic and mostly concern real life anxieties, and are so vivid that I get confused about their veracity, or that one where I was trapped in a house full of centipedes that wouldn’t die, so I don’t feel like I’m qualified to give any tips, here.

 18. Blog established: Discovered recently that it was October of 2010 and it’s just been downhill since then. I moved over from Livejournal, and I feel like you can tell by the fact that at least 60% of this blog is text posts about my feelings.

 19. Followers: As of right now, 6,659 which is frankly nuts but there is no way of knowing how many of those are bots, I’ll just assume most of them.

 20. Random fact: Other than that I’m terrible at coming up with random facts when I’m asked? I feel like it’s been a while since I mentioned that when I was in fifth grade I wrote a novel and submitted it to a publisher (Front Street, they are now, on a search, merged with Boyds Mills Press). I got back a rejection letter. Still have it.

I tag - @led-lite, @the-mirador, @vera-invenire, @sirjohnsmythe, @kiwimeringue, @orodrethsgeek, @punkfaery, @adhd-loki, @bereft-of-frogs and uhhhh anyone else who wants? I’m not gonna track down 20 names, that sounds like a lot.
