List 5 things that make you happy, then send this question to the last 10 people who liked/reblogged one of your posts.

Hey, how are you? Thanks for leaving this ask ─ I'll probably make it longer than it should be.

Talented musicians. It just fills me with hope, knowing the levels of talent a person can achieve. Can I ramble? I'm going to ramble, sorry.

I can't explain, but when I realize how cohesively these two solos were played, and one must imagine there is no sheet music! that this was done live, and it will never be done the same way again ─ I'm blown away by the sheer talent of the man. (solos one, two).

2. Accents. Just a little something I've always had an interest in. (You know the works; Scottish, Irish, British, midwestern, southern, etc.)

3. Clear skies. Blue skies. Sunny days.

4. Letters. Exquisite penmanship. Just the act of written communication existing as a whole. Stamps, wax seals, the whole shebang.

5. Ice cream! And all the different ways you can eat it. :D

@mrtobenamedlater *gigglesnort* That would be accurate about the running start, lol! 6 foot, very cool! I've never got a clue about these sorts of things, lol! 🤷‍♀️😎

@ionlymadethissoicouldleaveanask Wow, 6'2" sounds Spartan-sized to me! 😂😎

@helix-enterprises117 I would still have to look up to talk to you if we were on level ground 'cause I'm 4' 11 1/2" (and I alllllways claim that 1/2 and inch, very important when you're fun-sized, lol). 😎👍

my secret agenda is getting my mutuals to to reblog and tell me how tall they think i am, and everyone is motivated by continuing a chain muahahahaha

List your 10 favorite characters from 10 different Fandoms, then tag 10 people!

Tagged by the ever-awesome @sarnakhwritesthings Thanks so much! 💖

I decided to do video game fandoms, just to change things up a bit. In alphabetical order by fandom just 'cause. 😉

Karlach, Baldur's Gate 3 (Wait, did I just sneak Astarion into here? Yes, yes, I did. Please anticipate that I will stretch the whole 10 favs from 10 different fandoms as faaaaaar as I can. 🤷‍♀️😂)

Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (And there's Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish, funny how that worked out, hm? 😇)

Frank West, Dead Rising (Also starring Ms. Leah Stein... 💖)

Kara, Detroit: Become Human (With bonus Alice and Luther, filling out my precious little android family! I also want to note that technically Connor and Hank along with Markus, Simon and North all tied for this spot. But I thought it might be pressing it just a bit too much to have 8 people all crammed into the "1 character" spot. See? Restraint, I has it! *coughcough* 😂😉)

Nyx Ulric, Final Fantasy XV: Kingsglaive (Yeah, so technically Kingsglaive is a movie not a game but it's in support of a game so that's close enough for me. Also, hello to the lovely Lunafreya Nox Fleuret. *waves Lunyx shipper flag liek woah*)

Master Chief John-117, Halo (And Cortana, my bestest girl! *smushes her together into a happily ever after with John* That's totally how they ended up in the video game series, don't let anybody tell you differently! *fist thump* 😇😉)

The Ryder twins, Mass Effect: Andromeda (Sara Ryder x Reyes Vidal is liiiiiiife to me! And I didn't have a Scott Ryder x Gil Brodie GIF so I just went full on and linked you to the vid I made. No, no, it was my pleasure, really. 😇😇😇😉 Sara x Vetra Nyx and Scott x Cora Harper also belong here. You know, in the 1 single character ONLY spot. *nodnods in I do what I want, Thor* 😂🤷‍♀️)

Quiet, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (Hello, Mr. Snake, sir, you're looking very well and TOTES not shippy here in this spot on my list, ahem! 😁😉)

Lady Alcina Dimitrescu, Resident Evil: Village (Wow, Karl Heisenberg, how completely unexpected of you to be in this GIF, too! *shocked Pikachu face* 😂😉)

Cal Kestis, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order/Survivor (Merrin, my love! *sighs in fangirly shipperliness* "Shipperliness" is totally a word, too. Add it to your vocabulary today and impress all your friends! 😊😉)

[ageless-aislynn]

Ooo, I love hearing behind the scenes info like this, very cool! 😎👍

I did also really enjoy picturing Chief, Johnson and the Arbiter in a Nu-Metal band! 😂

Other names for my AU that I scrapped.

Halo Reborn - Too generic. And I like generic.

Halo Resurgence - Too vague, but it does fit the idea of it being "A new and unique retelling of Halo". Still, I could do better.

Halo Nexus - Sounds cool, but makes zero damn sense.

Halo Resurgent - I returned to 'Resurgence' but altered the tense to see if it worked. It didn't.

Halo Extreme & Halo Overdrive - They sound like the name of Shovelware sports-based Halo spin-off games. Nope.

Neo Halo - Halo is already sci-fi, "Neo" is redundant.

Ultimate Halo - Derivative of Ultimate Marvel for obvious reasons.

Nu-Halo - Why is Halo a Nu-Metal Band? No.

Finally

Halo Reloaded - HEY WAIT. I like this one; it's cool, it fits the idea/concept of my AU being a 'fanmade reboot and retelling' without being too vague or derivative, AND it makes sense since Halo is an FPS and 'Reloaded' adds to the 'military & gun-motif' of the genre. Let's use this one!

I Remember Everything

Dream On

2 Bed, 2 Bath (and a Ghost)

Honestly if you threw in a song from Corb Lund one from Turnpike Troubadours this would be a pretty dang good sampling of the music I tend to listen to.

List 5 things that make you happy, then send this question to the last 10 people who liked/reblogged one of your posts.

Thanks so much, @helix-enterprises117 and @mrtobenamedlater for including me!

When I'm playing a video game, sitting here totally alone, not playing co-op or anything, if something good/fun/random happens, I say out loud some variation of, "Chat, check that out. Can you believe that just happened?" like I'm streaming on Twitch or something. Then I laugh, just 'cause. 🤷‍♀️😂

My tol and smol ships. I've loved those who are NOT tol and smol, of course, but I just have a particular love for those who are.

Kara/Luther, Detroit: Become Human

John-117/Talia, Halo the series

Kai-125/Miranda, Halo the series

Frank West/Leah Stein, Dead Rising (Okay, so Frank's not super tol, nor Leah super smol but my man is BURLY, so I'ma call this one accurate, lol).

Frank showing off his thiccc boi status, lol! 😇

3. Managing to 100% a game.

I just have 4 more achievements for Detroit: Become Human to go and I'm about to start the playthrough that should get all of them. 🤞😣🤞Dead Rising has 2 left but they're considerable: 5 Day Survivor and 7 Day Survivor. 5 Day Survivor means playing for 12 hours straight without dying once and without the ability to save. 7 Day Survivor is the same but takes 14 hours. They're both literally real life endurance challenges. Even still, I'm working up a strategy and plan on trying it one day. Just got to make sure I have my meals already planned and ready and that my family knows what I'm doing. I just love the game so much, I'd like to see if I can do it. And I'd like the Laser Sword you get for 5 Day Survivor (it's a lightsaber without the name, lol) and the boxer shorts with heart on them for 7DS. And just to know I was able to figure out a way to conquer them both.

I'll never be able to 100% the Halo Master Chief Collection simply because there are a lot of achievements requiring co-op play. Even without that, I have no desire to try and play LASO and I can't do the ones for "play the entire game on Legendary under 3 hours" even on the game that I'm absolute strongest at (Reach). I can play fast or I can play Legendary, just not both at the same time. 🤷‍♀️

I honestly never thought I'd beat even one modern game on Easy and now being able to complete or nearly complete 4 of them has made me so happy and proud. (I have a bit of a tremor in my hands so I have to adapt my play to account for that.)

4. The Halo theme. 'nuff said. When the game has written itself into your DNA, this song is part of your blood and bones.

5. Funny game glitches/random occurrences. Anything that's not really supposed to happen but then it does and there's something just so silly and ridiculous about it? Yeah, that's my jam!

Sara Ryder, the Pathfinder from Mass Effect: Andromeda, spending an entire gaming session, crouching over and talking to everybody's, um, belt buckles, will NEVER not make me laugh! 😂

For the writer’s truth or dare!

❄️

🦴

I just barely found this in my drafts and I feel awful about it but here goes!

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

Oh man, don’t ask me hard questions. Uhhhh. I’d like to see a pretty significant rewrite of Halo: Guardians that explores Blue Team fracturing a little more when John keeps pushing to do something that they’re pretty sure is wrong. I hate how Blue Team got relegated to “loyal sidekick” status. I think either @helix-enterprises117 or genesisgrey would do it best.

🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing?

A lot of music, and a lot of westerns. Right now I’m stealing a lot of inspiration from Tombstone haha.

[helix-enterprises117]

Already put this on the Discord, but...

Have a new John.
