1. PICK ONE OF YOUR MUSES.
2. FILL IN THE QUESTIONS/STATEMENTS AS IF YOU ARE BEING INTERVIEWED FOR AN ARTICLE AND YOU WERE YOUR MUSE.
3. TAG TEN PEOPLE TO DO THIS MEME
1. WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Tumblr media
2. WHAT IS YOUR REAL NAME?
“Quintavius Quirinius Quire. Yes, I know it’s ridiculous. Blame my adoptive parents.”
3. DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU WERE CALLED THAT?
“They said I was a small kid so they gave me a big name. I think that’s a load of bull. I mean, ‘Quintavius’ literally means ‘fifth-born’ and I’m their only one.”
4. ARE YOU SINGLE OR TAKEN?
“It’s complicated.”
5. HAVE ANY ABILITIES OR POWERS?
Tumblr media
6. STOP BEING A MARY SUE.
“If by ‘Mary Sue’ you mean a self-insert wish-fulfillment character used to empower a marginalized person who doesn’t see themselves represented in media, then no, I will never stop being a Mary Sue.”
7. WHAT’S YOUR EYE COLOR?
“I dare you to try stealing my stash of contact lenses to find out. I dare you.”
8. HOW ABOUT YOUR HAIR COLOR?
“Used to be brown. Now it’s pink. I also used to think I was heterosexual and Team Xavier. Things change.”
9. HAVE YOU ANY FAMILY MEMBERS?
“Depends on what you mean by that. Biological relatives, hell no. My adoptive parents might as well have left me at the orphanage given how they’re never around. There are a few people here at the school worthy of being called my family, but I’m not about to let them know that.
10. OH? WHAT ABOUT PETS?
“I have a pet Phoenix.” I have a pet little mutant boy. He has pink hair and will bite no one unless provoked. Would you like to pet him? “Okay, I get it.”
11. THAT’S COOL I GUESS, NOW TELL ME ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DON’T LIKE.
“White colonialist capitalist heteropatriarchy actively oppresses anyone who isn’t a cishet rich able-bodied WASP man with a stable family life. All the privilege and wealth is concentrated in this group leaving the rest of us to suffer unduly. We need to undo this kyriarchal system and replace it with a better one without putting our faith in false prophets of the revolution...yes, Phoenix, that means you. No offence.” None taken.
12. DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES/ACTIVITIES YOU LIKE DOING?
“You mean besides giving Professor Logan hell? I create constructs, whole worlds in my mind that I can project onto anyone I choose. That’s what I’m doing when it looks like I’m not paying attention.”
13. EVER HURT ANYONE BEFORE?
“You don’t know me very well, do you?”
14. EVER….KILLED ANYONE BEFORE?
“Yeah, you really don’t know me very well.”
15. WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL ARE YOU?
Majestic fluffy birb, “not you, Phoenix, me,” I was talking about you. “See how she treats me?”
16. NAME YOUR WORST HABITS.
“Yeah, we’d be here all day if I had to list them all. Let’s just say that picking my nose and eating my own boogers is probably the least offensive.”
17. DO YOU LOOK UP TO ANYONE AT ALL?
“Magneto, Huey Newton, Kenji Ueda, Ed Roberts, Marsha P. Johnson, anyone who actually makes a difference.”
18. GAY, STRAIGHT, OR BISEXUAL?
“You’re really heteronormative if you assume those are the only three options.
19. DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL?
“If you could really call it a school...”
20. DO YOU EVER WANT TO MARRY AND HAVE KIDS ONE DAY?
“I don’t believe in the social construct of marriage. Kids, maybe. I dunno.”
21. DO YOU HAVE ANY FANBOYS/FANGIRLS?
“Are we counting the people who put an idealized version of me on a pedestal or nah?”
22. WHAT ARE YOU MOST AFRAID OF?
“Everything I’ve ever feared has already happened.”
23. WHAT DO YOU USUALLY WEAR?
“My fashion sense is legendary, thank you very much.”
24. DO YOU LOVE SOMEONE?
“We all love someone. It’s just a question of how we love them and why.”
25. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WET YOURSELF?
“Like, pissed my pants? Let’s just say that that the Cuckoos are never going to forgive me for all the shit I pulled and they enjoy playing pranks on me whenever they can.”
26. WELL, IT’S NOT OVER YET!
There is no ‘over,’ there are infinite possibilities of time and space ahead and behind us all. “Literally nobody asked you, Phoenix.”
27. WHAT CLASS ARE YOU? (HIGH CLASS, MIDDLE CLASS, LOW CLASS)
"Class transplant victim of the adoption industrial complex. Casualty of capitalism from infancy. My parents were so rich that they literally bought me.” 
28. HOW MANY FRIENDS DO YOU HAVE?
“Define ‘friends.’”
29. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON PIE?
“I don’t say no to food.”
30. FAVORITE DRINK?
“If it has caffeine in it, chances are it’s my favorite.”
31. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE?
"Is full anarcho-communism a place?”
32. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SOMEONE~
“It’s complicated.”
33. WHAT’S YOUR BRA CUP SIZE AND/OR HOW BIG IS YOUR WILLY?  
“Wanna see?”
34. WOULD YOU RATHER SWIM IN THE LAKE OR THE OCEAN?
“I don’t exactly swim much.”
35. WHAT’S YOUR TYPE?
“My blood type? Or what I look for in a mate? Or what?”
36. ANY FETISHES?
“Wanna look into my mind and see?”
37. SEME OR UKE? TOP OR BOTTOM? DOMINANT OR SUBMISSIVE?
“’Seme’ and ‘uke’ are false constructs meant to fetishize queerness and enforce heteronormative gender roles onto same-gender relationships. Fuck that shit.”
38. CAMPING OR INDOORS?
“Doesn’t matter to me. I’d spend the whole time in my own head anyway”
39. ARE YOU WANTING THE QUIZ TO END?
Eh.
