the oldest of magus' familiars. this one is the one most often summoned for combat, since he loves it, and has the most direct destructive power available. a very enthusiastic mountain sized wrecking ball. big eater. and then there's the lasers

his usual spot is in the desert before the entrance to magus' sphere, standing guard. he likes to play at being a sphinx, except there's no correct answers - you can only outwit him. or entertain him

27. Would you like to be a big celebrity? Yeah, no, no thank you. I like the anonymity

28. What type of music do you like? I’m a musician, so the answer is “everything”. Like, you hit shuffle on my iphone and you’re just as likely to hit Beethoven’s Sonatas as you are Notorious B.I.G. and everything in between.

30. How many pillows do you sleep with? Two

31. What position do you usually sleep in? I can’t fall asleep any other way but on my stomach, but I often wake up on my back, which is hilarious since I can’t fall asleep like that at all.

48. Can you curl your tongue? Nope

49. Pick one fictional character you can relate to? Um, since most of my friends here are in the ST fandom, let’s go with that and, in that universe, I’d have to say Mike Wheeler. His sense of responsibility and knack of putting everyone else ahead of him is something I relate to so very much.

50. Left or right handed? Left

51. Are you scared of spiders? I have legit arachnophobia.

52. Favorite food? Macaroni and cheese (I’m such white fucking trash)

53. Favorite foreign food? Pho or (and I’m cursing my inability to add accent marks here)  Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio, which is vermicelli noodles with bbq pork, eggrolls, veggies, and fish sauce and it’s so good (ok, i’m craving it now) (also, lol, can you tell my husband’s Vietnamese, or what?)

54. Are you a clean or messy person? Dude, I’m messy as fuck.

55. If you could switch your gender for a day, what would you do? Figure out what it’s like to pee standing up.

56. What color underwear? Like, right now, or in general? Because the answer to right now is “nothing” (because i’m in my pjs and i don’t wear underwear to sleep), but in general, black because i don’t like having to match anything.

57. How long does it take for you to get ready? 15-20 minutes

80. How many piercings do you have? Three on each ear (though I’m planning on getting a cartilage piercing soon).

81. Can you roll your R’s? Lol, I only took 10 years of Spanish, so I certainly hope so.

82. How fast can you type? Pretty fast

83. How fast can you run? Um, I average about a 13 minute mile, so not super fast.

84. What color is your hair? Auburn-red

85. What color are your eyes? Hazel

86. What are you allergic to? Mold and mildew

87. Do you keep a journal? Haha, I gave up that ghost years ago. The closest I get to that is this blog.

88. Are you depressed about anything? Not particularly at the moment (though I suffer from anxiety and that can quickly turn into depression if I don’t watch it)

89. Do you like your age? I do, I think. I can’t say I didn’t wish I was in my late 20s again, mostly because there’s the pressure to have done certain things by the time you’re in your mid-30s (like, have kids and whatnot), but I certainly don’t feel my age most of the time, so *shrugs*

90. What makes you angry? When people aren’t given a fair shot, or unfairly treated. I’m real big on equity of respect and it makes me so angry when I see people getting treated like shit or disrespected (bigots and racists and misogynists really piss me off). In that same vein, people not doing their fair share of the work also really piss me off.

91. Do you like your own name? Yeah, I do. I mean, I’ve had it for 34 years.

92. Did you ever get a foreign object up your nose? thankfully, no.

93. Do you want a boy or a girl for a child? I think, if I have kids, I want a girl.

94. What talents do you have? I’m a fast and adaptive learner and I have a near photographic memory.

95. Sun or moon? Sun.

96. How did you get your name? Ok, I’ve asked this question and the only answer I can get from my mom is “I don’t know, your dad and I just liked the name.”

97. Are you religious? I like to consider myself a spiritual person, but I’m not particularly religious. I’m fascinated by religiosity and tradition and I like participating in religious ceremonies, but I don’t know if I believe in a religion enough to be religious.

98. Have you ever been to a therapist? Yes, I have. I developed anxiety a few years ago and I saw a therapist for a few months to help with my issues.

99. Color of your bedspread? White with blue and turquoise dots.

100. Color of your room? Grey

On Saturdays, I like to… >> I don’t have anything specific that I prefer to do only on Saturdays.

Where would you like to be a missionary to? >> Anywhere that could benefit from someone who wants to do good, but not necessarily in the name of religion. I wouldn’t want the people I helped to assume that I only helped them with the intention of converting them to something. So... I guess I wouldn’t be a missionary, not technically.

What’s better — toilet paper rolled over top or underneath? >> I prefer over-the-top.

Which Scooby-Doo character are you most like (Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Fred, Velma, the monster, Scrappy?) >> I’m not sure. I haven’t seen Scooby-Doo in forever and I’ve forgotten a lot of the character traits.

If you had to endure one natural disaster (i.e. hurricane, tornado, etc), what would you pick and why? >> I see no sense in picking one over the others. Mostly I would prefer not to endure a natural disaster, but if one happens, I’d like to be prepared for it, or given enough time to evacuate.

What movie or TV show do you take guilty pleasure in watching? >> I prefer my pleasures to not be riddled with guilt.

If you had to describe your day as a traffic sign, what would it be? >> ... Slow? 

What traditional stereotype would you classify yourself as? >> I prefer not to classify myself using stereotypes. I figure that’s for others to do if they so choose.

What “group” did you belong to in high school? >> I didn’t.

If you wrote a book about yourself…what would it be about? >> Just about my life. I think it’d be a fun read. Or an unsettling one. Probably both.  If your house were burning down, what would you take and why? >> If the residents were taken care of, then probably Heimdall. It’s not like I couldn’t replace it and everything on it, it’s just the only possession I’d think twice about leaving behind. It my baby. <3 Although to be logical, I should probably say my Important Documents(TM). And my wallet. Replacing identification and documents is a bitch.

Describe your favorite pair of PJ’s. >> I don’t have a favourite, I like them all equally.

How many handbags do you own? >> Zero.

If this were your last day alive, what would you say to your friends? >> That’s not something that I can fathom well enough to give a good response to.

Describe your dream wedding where money is no option. >> Money is no option for any wedding I participate in, because it’s not going to be expensive in the first place. I think big weddings are unconscionably unnecessary and wasteful.

What kind of deodorant do you use? >> I use Degree right now, but I might switch brands. I don’t like the residue it leaves, seeing as I wear mostly black shirts.

If you were a spy what would your alias be? >> I don’t know. I don’t want to be a spy.

Do you have a birth mark? Where? Does it look like anything? >> No. 

You are planning the most awesome dinner party of your life. Which 3 celebrities/historical figures (past or present) would you add to your guest list to keep the dinner talk interesting? >> Eh, I don’t really care for this, but I’ll humour the question -- three figures: Nikola Tesla, Giordano Bruno, Carl Sagan. All at one table. Should be fun to watch.

What is your favorite sport, and which team of that sport do you cheer for? >> Figure skating. I don’t have favourites anymore because I haven’t watched it in years.

Which would you rather have a kiss or a hug? Why? >> I have no preference.

If you could be a pair of jeans what style would you be?  Why? >> I...

You have multiple personalities, describe some of them. >> I don’t have multiple personalities. Personality itself is malleable and subject to the caprice of the animating force behind it.

What is the best thing you have done in your life? >> I... don’t know how to rank that. 

If you were blind for the rest of your life… what would you miss seeing the most? >> Everything. If I knew I would never see them again, I would of course miss even the most mundane of sights, and wish fervently that I hadn’t taken them for granted. Such is the mind.

What household chore do you hate the most? >> I don’t do bathrooms.

What is your most disappointing moment in life? >> I don’t know.

If you could be one for just 24 hours, what cereal box cartoon character would you be? Why? >> Nope.

What was the best thing that happened to you this weekend? >> I saw Moana!

It’s a very hot and muggy day. You desperately want something very cool and refreshing to quench your thirst and revitalize your body. What would you drink — either make your own or store-bought. >> Water. I can’t fathom why I would pick anything else...

You discover that the person you’re head-over-heels interested in loves a good homemade & handmade dessert. What will you concoct when you have this person over? >> Er. I... can’t make any desserts.

What would you leave in your will for the person you care about the most? >> ... Everything? Like, it’s not like I can take anything with me???

What do you consider to the most valuable thing you own: when you were a child/teenager/now? >> I didn’t have a concept of value as a child; I barely remember what I owned as a teenager; I don’t place much personal value on my belongings, but the most valuable thing I own in terms of monetary value is my laptop. 

What’s the kindest act you have ever seen done? >> I’m not sure.

If you could have any job in the world, which one would you want? >> I don’t know.

If you could play any musical instrument, what would it be and why? If you already play an instrument(s), what do you play and why? >> Violin seems interesting.
