Annette (the original Sparks pre-movie 2013 version)

I've been waiting for this to be released since my early days as a fan! I've not seen enough hype about it out there and I think that is because there's not been a lot of info about this to put things into context for newer fans. So let me remedy this!! (I know they've added some more info in the newsletter but I don't know if everyone gets that.)

At the end of the THOM era Sparks started teasing us about "the new album", which would be in a similar format to Bergman as it was also a full story in audio format. They were fully intent on touring it as a 3-people live theatrical performance with them + Rebecca Sjöwall performing the roles. (They would've liked to tour Bergman as a live performance as well, but logistically that wouldn't work so they were excited about this.) … And then we stopped hearing about it. Until the first news about the film came out!

I've seen people refer to this as a demo or even a mockup album (?), but let me set the record straight: what we have here is the FINISHED Sparks album for Annette! This is what would have been the new album in 2013, the original story for Annette, exactly how Sparks themselves created it (before the film collaboration with Leos Carax). For the film some things were changed, for example I think Carax said that a lot of the irony and humour wouldn't work in a film so that aspect of it was mostly taken out. AND NOW WE GET THE VERSION WITH THAT IN IT! I kid you not I had to be one the phone with a friend to yell about it for 2 hours straight, this is one of the most exciting things to happen!!! (Also, Annette being a literal singing pram? R&R remain the funniest guys alive - this is SO GOOD! I'm so hyped about the beautiful art by Galen Johnson, too! (Who also did the art for the THOM era, and was one of the directors for some music videos over the last few years.))

What we get with this release is Russell as Henry McHenry (and believe me, YOU WANT TO HEAR RUSSELL PERFORM AS AN EVIL GUY), Ron as the conductor as well as some other voices (RON ON VOCALS, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!), and the wonderful vocal performances by Rebecca Sjöwall as Ann/Annette (she was the Hollywood starlet on Bergman and she also sang on Life With The Macbeths - a highly relevant song in reference to this release we're getting, I think, "each murder the ratings soar"). I am a huge fan of the Bergman album, but I'll be very honest and say that while I love their choice of accurate voices to tell the story - the most beautiful voices out there are Ron & Russell's and that's the only thing that might have made me love the sound of The Seduction Of Ingmar Bergman more. And now we're getting that! This is them taking on the roles of the characters they wrote! I love it when they're acting, because honestly they are really really great at it!

[SPOILERS IN THIS PARAGRAPH] Russell Mael - looks like a cinnamon, can actually kill you - will be committing murders, Ron - looks like he could kill you, actual cinnamon roll - will once again not get the girl as the guy portrayed by his brother takes her away from him in more ways than one. (Fuck I still so wish I could've seen this on a stage.)

Also there will be songs we've not heard at all, there will be songs that might sound very different than what we've heard in the film, the story ends differently (and I personally really like that). …I don't know what I'm most excited about, I JUST CAN NOT WAIT. While I'll forever be curious what their stage performances would have looked like, I'll not have to remain curious about what the album and their original version of Annette would have been like. Because here it is!!! :)

I say this without slandering the film, but this version of Annette is the one that's going to hit me hardest. (I am calling my 2013 self to tell them the good news, holy hell!)

As a final note, here's something they've shared in the newsletter:

"Writing in the sleevenotes of this boxset release Ron and Russell Mael have said "...we feel that this earlier version of Annette should be listened to not as the preparatory or demo step toward a filmed version, but rather as a complete and alternative version in itself. We are very proud of it.”

hi sweet! i was wondering, if you're comfortable, would you ever consider making a post or replying privately on how your audition process was like (for example, preparation, panel, etc)? i have an idea which school it is (is it j? 🤭) and missed the deadline this year, but am excited to try applying next year ☺️💕 please totally feel free to disregard if it's too much! thank you so much and hope you have a lovely week! 🌷💖🫶🏻

Hi friend!

Honestly I'd love to talk about the audition process because it was so unique and interesting. Although, J isn't the school i'm going to next year but never the less, I hope you find this helpful! I got callbacks for two out two schools that I auditioned for so I'll run through what happened in both because they were super different experiences. (also I'd like to apologise because this post is so long. so so so long. Like 2000 words. So I won't be offended if you don't read it all). And feel free to DM me at any time if you have questions or just want to talk acting stuff!

For reference, I'll call the school I got into 'Blue' and the other school I was rejected from 'Red'.

Very Quick Summary:

Round 1:

2 monologues videos or 1 monologue and a movement exercise uploaded to YT, personal statement video uploaded to YT, resume, headshot (professional not needed), audition form submitted to the university website.

Round 2 Red School:

In personal audition with improv games/activities (1 hour), questions with interviews and a cold read (1 hour), perform 2 monologues in front of the full judging panel and 30 other people.

Round 2 Blue School:

Perform your monologues in a screen test and for an audition panel

Preparation

So the first audition for both schools were the online auditions, questionnaires, personal statements and resume. A simple youtube video (or 3) would be uploaded with the URLs attached to audition form which also contained the questions. I also needed a 'resume' which had my training, experience and a headshot. The second phase were the callbacks. I had 1 zoom call back and 1 IRL callback.

Personally I started preparation about 3 months before the first submission date. I read through the handbook and online resources and made a list of everything I needed to do before submitting. I really recommend starting prep 3 months out purely because you'll be less stressed later. If you have an acting coach, acting teacher, drama teacher, etc. start talking to them at this point. I didn't but watching YouTube acting tip videos was how I kinda supplemented that. Learning from others is the best thing you can do. Join acting facebook/tumblr/instagram/discord pages.

Choosing pieces that work well with how you audition is so important. This sounds obvious because it kind of is but don't pick something that was made for TV unless you can convert it to stage. While you may be auditioning for a screen acting degree (or at least I was) you won't have the closeness of that camera to get your emotions across so it's important to understand how to translate those fine details across. You also need your pieces to contrast really well. I had to chose 2 monologues for one audition and 1 and a prompted movement exercise for the other. I tried to do something a bit different so I went for a 'comedy' piece (it was labelled comedy but it just ended up being sad lmao) and an Anton Chekov piece

YouTube and Preliminary Auditions

What was so amazing about the YouTube auditions was that I could search the schools I wanted to get into and stalk other people's submissions. I cannot recommend doing this enough! You learn so much from seeing other people audition. From watching those videos I mostly learned what not to do (which sounds a little mean to say but that wasn't the intention). Take notes on what you like and dislike about everyone's performances then apply those to your own.

I really recommend giving yourself at least 3 hours to film for each school. I know that sounds like so much time but it's better to have extra time than to run out of time. Personally, I was super unprepared and it took me 5 hours to film for the Red school. They had us do a 2 minute introduction and it had like 6 questions. I really struggled to get my point across in such little time while still coming across competent and confidant.

I had to do a prompted movement excise for the Red school as well. This was a little intimidating because the prompt was 'You walk into a room, find an object, then leave the room in a different emotional state' (or something like that). I love having complete creative freedom but also it felt like they would judge me more harshly if I did something 'lame' or predictable. I also had to make sure it contrasted with my monologue. It was a whole stressful thing.

Callbacks!

Red School: In Person Auditions!

This was one of the most exciting things i've ever done in my entire life haha. I wasn't able to take drama in year 11 and 12 so it had been 3 years since I had been in this type of creative space and I truly didn't realise how much I missed it until I walked into that audition space. All eyes are on you from the second you walk in and so it's important you show who you are straight away. For me this meant a lot of mental prep before going into the audition. I'm a very introverted person who isn't great with meeting new people and is pretty socially awkward so I had to force myself to skip that awkward stage. I love being an introvert but that combined with my resting bitch face, visible neurodivergent traits, etc I really had to go out of my way to show that I was excited, kind, funny, bubbly, collaborative and more. I truly think that was the hardest part of the whole audition.

As for what was included, the in person audition was made up of a large group of about 25-30 people which was then split into two smaller groups. In those groups we had improvisation, cold reads, an interview, monologue performances and question time. For the improv it was largely your basic drama games, nothing too crazy. Something I didn't do but I wish I did was google improv games and think about what I might do in these situations. We did these for about an hour, it was a lot of fun and very stress free. After we had a small break and question time. There were 2 current first year students who volunteered to help out, they were the people who answered our questions. While question time was happening people would be called into a room with one of the panel judges to do an interview and cold read. This was where I mainly think I fucked up my audition!

SO firstly, I'm a wee bit dyslexic (read as 'very dyslexic') and the judge new that but it just meant that I sucked at the cold read because I was concentrating too hard on reading. I kinda forgot she was there lol. But that wasn't the bad part. The bad part was the interview. The judge started by asking how I handled COVID. and I was like "ummm not very well at all lol". Naturally, she asked why, I explained why in the vaguest, least trauma dumpy way possible. HOWEVER, then she decided to ask me something along the lines of, "you seem like a very anxious person. Why are you going into a profession with so much rejection??". So ummm, I was kinda left speechless hahaha. All I could respond with was 'I've been rejected plenty of times before' which is, fine but not a good answer. Anyways, moral of the story, prepare really well for an interview. Take control of the interview and don't accidentally borderline trauma dump on your Judge.

Monologues! This was fun. We each had to perform 2 monologues. It took about 2 hours to get through everyone but it wasn't really boring at all. Everyone was so talented and amazing. There really isn't a whole lot to say tbh. They were monologues. The judges would try and redirect you after you finished (or half way through) your monologue to see how well you respond to direction and criticism. I really recommend trying to do your monologues in as many stupid styles as possible! It's great because A) you'll better understand the choices you make and why and B) it's so fun.

Blue School: Zoom Auditions

Blue school has been my top school since I decided to go to acting school a few years ago so to say I was a nervous wreck was an understatement. There were 2 parts to the audition, the screen test and the regular audition. The screen test lasted about 10 mins and is just to see how you looked performing with TV in mind. The audition panel is just that, your standard audition panel.

Now this whole thing was a cluster fuck. I was in the screen test for literally less than 2 minutes and was kicked from the meeting. It was 'technical difficulties' allegedly however, my best friend also had a callback for the next day and the same thing happened. Zoom said that the host kicked me from the meeting and not that it was disconnected so I personally think they did that to us to see how we handled the stress. For me, this actually saved my whole audition. It gave me a few minutes to calm down, have some water and ground myself. I have no idea if this is a common tactic or not but just be aware that a school might to do this.

I had the audition panel straight after and they apologised for the tech mess up, answered any of my questions and we did our thing. They asked me to perform my Anton Chekhov monologue (Irina from the 3 sisters. Her monologue from the first act). I didn't quite get what they were asking me to do at first. They kept prompting me to pretend that I was saying it to my best friend but it kept getting more dramatic because... well I'm super dramatic when I'm really passionate about something but turns out they wanted realism hahaha. The second prompt they gave me which made me realise they wanted realism was "you're saying this to your best friend who's in hospital". My best friend and platonic partner is actually chronically ill so this hit a little close to home. They're like never in hospital but it was still a bit... ouchie lol. At least the prompt wasn't boring?? The judges seemed to really love my take on that prompted, we had a whole conversation about what I did differently, etc. Then I was sent on my way!

Screen test part two was only slightly less stressful than part one. I tried to join the meeting with the new link they sent out, no one was there, I got the old link up on my laptop (whereas i was using my mum's PC) incase they were still using the old link. They were still using the old link and I almost missed my screen test (again lol). They wanted to see my 'comedy' monologue but they gave me prompt of "you're filming a video diary and you never want anyone to know that you have a crush on [the character], you haven't even really accepted it." for some reason that made me weirdly emotional lol. I completely forgot my lines about half way through when I really started to get emotional (the character talks a lot about her insecurities). The judges said that sometimes that can happen when you "unlock" a new level of emotion in a piece. I guess that's what they wanted to see because I got in! I really thought I had completely fucked it up. Moral of the story, even if you do something stupid, forget your lines, almost miss your audition and don't understand what the judges want from you the first time, it'll still be okay. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.

Okay! I'm done. I'm so sorry for the word length of this and the fact it took me so long to reply! again, feel free to DM me if you ever have any questions, want to talk about acting or hell, even if you're bored and just want to chat. I hope this some what helped

I feel like in an age of algorithms making assumptions based on unknown data from you or people in similar demographics, the concept of "putting your foot down" has lost all meaning.

I'll use a few experiences I've been having lately. So I dunno if you are like me, but I try to think of my social media feeds like a home or a garden. Something you have to help cultivate by doing small tasks but helps make it feel like yours. But I feel algorithms just fucking ignore this.

Facebook: Facebook really wants me to get into football (soccer for the Americans) I have zero interest in football and I keep hiding anything related to football on my feed. The issue is, it ends up back there. I've tried changing my settings to show less of it, but because algorithms are a black box based on things like ages brackets and locations and because I live in a city where a good percentage of men love football, it thinks I should too. This is annoying but is fairly ignorable because I don't really use Facebook a lot.

Instagram: so Instagram's algorithms are confusing. Where Facebook is really pushing me to get into football and has been for 3 months despite all my efforts, Instagram's algorithm seems to just throw the most random topics my way for a week hoping to get me into them and then when I've said "show me less of this" it will try something different and it's really random what it picks. Hey, look at all these cool hunting knifes.... No? How about children having haircuts..... No? Manosphere influencers.... No? Carpet cleaning....no?

Spotify: so not social media but definitely algorithm heavy. You can listen to 5 songs by one artist 4 years ago and it will be like "scrunglejim and the playground pedants are one of your favourite bands. You like this band so we're going to keep recommending them to you and because every update we restore the app settings. We will try sneaking their songs into your playlists" but there's no real way to stop this on Spotify I'm aware of.

Tiktok: so I keep getting turned away from tiktok. I've heard people say it's algorithm is the best but I'm going to disagree. Before I made my current account, I had tried to make 4 other accounts and kept getting turned away in the first 20 mins. I have a bit of a rule with any social media. If I see homophobia/transphobia/bigotry/racism/violence in the first 30 mins on a platform, I just delete the account. Tiktok failed those 4 times. I had friends try to tell me "train the algorithm by liking videos on things you wanna see and "not interested " in things you don't wanna see. So I gave my login credentials to these friends and said "ok. You do it for me. Like positive posts related to cycling or anime/music I like and disliking anything bigoted" but I still see bigotry and transphobia on my fyp. Also, I like cycling. Not videos of cyclists getting hit by cars. That's the opposite of cycling.

YouTube: my least favourite algorithm because it has a habit of doubling down on creators it likes. I'm going to use a certain creator as an example here. So I don't like a certain youtuber. I gave one of his videos a go in 2020 and it wasn't my thing. It felt very low effort and not something I'd want to watch. I disliked the video and then removed it from my watch history..... But his videos kept showing up on my feed..... So I clicked "don't recommend this channel" but his videos still kept appearing on my feed about once a week. If it wasn't his main channel, it was a second channel. If it wasn't either of those, it was the channel where he posts his livestreams. If it wasn't any of those, it was a clips channel. If it wasn't any of those, it was 3rd party channels uploading clips of him. If it wasn't any of those, it was drama channels talking about him. If it wasn't any of those, it was channels talking about how great and important he is. No matter how many times I show my disinterest in this creator, YouTube tries to force him on me. I've got a reflex that if I see his ugly face, I just click "don't recommend this channel" and add one to the tally. Btw, since 2020, I have clicked "don't recommend this channel" on his 4 channels a combined 81 times.

I think in an age of more and more complex algorithms, it needs to be reinforced into tech companies that if I say "not interested" or "don't recommend this" it shouldn't be treated as the yes that hasnt been said yet. It should be treated as a no. But fat chance that's ever gonna happen.

If you need a prompt... "accidental confession on social media" for Jonrya? Also, I feel like I owe you a fic lol. Feel free to ask a prompt of me if you want and I'll do my best

Accidentally Public

Social media is some sort of disease at times. Jon was convinced of that much, but as a musician he had little options regarding it. They were tools and present his work to the largest audience possible and soon or later he would have to deal with it if he wanted to make it in the industry.Arya had been the one to take it upon herself to create all of his professional profiles. From Facebook to Twitter, she was the one constantly telling him to post things and tell his followers unimportant things.Jon didn’t feel comfortable sharing things about himself, nor exposing his creative process for anyone to read. Arya was way better at those things than he was, probably because she was a social media enthusiast and a bit of an artist in her own right. Her photos and painting were incredible and she was a natural communicator, while Jon barely knew how to upload a video of him playing his acoustic guitar and looking super hipster while doing it.Every time he tried to use one of those accounts he would end up saying either the wrong thing or fucking up with any progress Arya might have achieved with them. You know nothing, Jon Snow! She would often shout at him.Robb liked to point that his sister was so used to deal with Jon’s social media that he should either hire her to do it professionally or make her his girlfriend just to make things convenient. Oh…If only Robb knew that there was nothing convenient about that suggestion, his friend would have kept his mouth shut.Jon had been flirting with the idea of asking Arya out for almost year, but he had inherited only his father’s talent for music, not the propensity to have five minutes of insane courage. Arya was the super friendly and popular girl in their circle of friends, plus Robb’s sister, which kind of made her something like a sister/cousin (or at least Robb thought so). Guys were constantly looking her way and flirting with her, while the closest thing Jon could manage was writing several lyrics to songs he would never compose telling about her hair, her eyes, her smile and all of her reckless and wild nature.“If you say I know nothingMaybe you’re right, darlingI’ve been dying every nightDreaming of you smiling And the gray in your eyes”There was at least a dozen verses like those and not even once he dared to show her casually one of his new songs. Muses are more efficient if the love is either impossible or unrequired, so Jon would keep things that way. Make of his love for her a fuel to creativity, while he kept torturing himself every time he saw her with another guy.If you are thinking that his stupidity was fated to come and bite him in the ass, you are absolutely right.It was his first significant gig. First time he wasn’t opening the show for someone else band. He was the main course for a change and he had managed to get Arya and Robb on the back stage and there would be plenty of booze for them to celebrate once the show was over.It had been amazing seeing people on the crowd singing along while he played his most successful tunes from his solo album and even better to feel like a rock star when he entered the stage after a brief pause.Arya was there, photographing and recording everything with his cellphone. Making lives on Instagram and twitting like mad while singing and humming her favorite songs.He was feeling particularly bold that night. It was either that or he had drunk vodka instead of water. The point is that Jon grabbed his guitar and sat on a tall bench, looking at the crowd as if he was in perfect control of his life.“I’ve been working on some new things lately and you guys are very lucky. I’ll share this one with you.” Jon said as a matter of fact as he stroke the first accords of the song, just testing the sound of the instrument and the tone. “Chances are that it will sound awful. That’s the price you pay for not following the plan.”The audience cheered once he started to sing and Arya was still there, recording everything as if the song had any other purpose but to confess to her how much he wanted to mess up with her hair, kiss her and trash a hotel room while making some wild sex.At least she seemed to enjoy the tune and people were waving their hands in the air and holding their cellphones to make it look like as if she stars had all felt to the ground.Jon left the stage feeling like a super hero, or just a very lucky bastard that for the first time experienced a bit of success. Arya and Robb were waiting for him on the back stage.“The new song is great!” Robb said with a bear in hand. Blessed be his oblivious nature.“It was amazing!” Arya said with genuine enthusiasm. “You’ll get a ton of new followers after the lives I made.”“You can tell me all about the followers and the lives once we have emptied a few bottles. This calls for celebration.” Jon declared before they could get out of there and go somewhere else for a bit of fun.To say that they got drunk was an understatement.At some point in the night Jon was taking several pictures of them laughing, drinking and making funny faces. Of course Arya forbid him of posting any of those pictures.Did he listen to her? Of course not!When he was getting back to the hotel he took the time to actually look at the pictures and the videos Arya had made during the show. The taxi cut the city and that moment was worthy of another song, but Jon was more interested in let the alcohol take over while the cellphone provided the means for him to fuck everything up.He clicked on the photo to share it. Jon couldn’t help writing ““I’ve been dying every night; dreaming of you smiling and the gray in your eyes”…I think I’ll marry you someday, Miss.”Second thoughts never come before a bad idea and alcohol combined with a cellphone was an invitation to disaster. Of course he only realized what he had done in the morning when hangover was nearly killing him.Jon knew things were wrong when he grabbed his cellphone just to check Arya’s text saying “next time you better say it to my face! By the way, I think I’ll say I do, stupid.”

[jenniferlovesthebeatles]

I was tagged by @rainbowdelicsunshine to answer these questions. Thank you! Apologies for being over a month late. :P I might have been tagged in something like this before, but it was years ago, so it's nice to revisit these questions!

Why did you choose your URL? The origin of my URL isn't particularly awe-inspiring, but it's a name that I've stuck with for a long time. I came up with it back in 2008 or 2009, when I used to be on a (now defunct) virtual pet/social networking app called iPet Pets (there were two other versions called iPet Cats and iPet Dogs, which I also had). It seems like not many people talk about it anymore, but it used to be fairly popular back in the day. I had to come up with a username, and I originally just went with Jennifer. But I thought I'd try to make it a little more personal by adding something about myself to it, and I decided to add "Loves The Beatles" because they're my favorite band. :) Since then, I've used it for almost all of my accounts (some sites don't allow it because of the character limit).

Any side blogs? I have a few, but I've been pretty bad about keeping up with them these days. I'm trying to be a little more active, but life tends to get in the way. I have a Christopher Walken blog, a My Life as a Teenage Robot blog, and a second personal blog that's a little more organized than my main blog.

How long have you been on Tumblr? I've been here since August 2011, I believe, so that's over a decade!

Why did you originally start your blog? I used to be on another defunct social networking app called Big Canvas PhotoShare. As its name suggests, it was exclusively for sharing pictures, kind of like Instagram (though it preceded it by a few years). Some friends on there told me they were on Tumblr and that I should make a blog and follow them, so I did! I remember initially being confused on how to use it, but I eventually got the hang of it.

Why did you choose your icon? Well, I know I recently changed my icon to Patrick, but when I was tagged for this I was Yuu. I'll give my answers for both of them! My icon was Yuu for a while because I've really been getting into retro anime lately, especially magical girl-themed ones. I really like Creamy Mami, so I thought I'd make my icon the protagonist of the show. :) Her hair reminds me a little of my own hairstyle. I'm actually only about halfway through the show, but I want to finish it sometime. And my current icon is Patrick because I just think it's a funny screenshot (it's from "Bubblestand," when he and SpongeBob are dancing and chanting "Squid's got genes!").

Why did you choose your header? I also changed this recently! It used to be David Bowie because well, I'm a huge fan of his music. But right now it's a screenshot from this Pandadog video. I stumbled upon it recently and was shocked by how high quality it was! I used to watch these Pandadog episodes a lot many years ago, but the uploads weren't the best quality. Apparently this new upload was actually posted by someone who worked on the cartoons! Unfortunately he said that these were the only episodes that he was able to recover.

What's your post with the most notes? I think it might be this picture of The Who! It has over 1,100 notes. There's also this post of some of my Taxi Driver screenshots that has over 800 notes. I had another one that had more notes than that, but I think Tumblr flagged it because Robert De Niro was shirtless in it. :0 A few of my MLAATR posts have also gotten a fair bit of attention, like this one with 700 notes and this one with 630 notes.

How many mutuals do you have? I'm admittedly not sure if there's a way to check how many mutuals I have here on Tumblr. Hopefully it's a decent amount! I know I've lost a lot of followers over the years with my blog's varied content, which is honestly understandable. But I sincerely appreciate everyone who's stuck around! :)

How many followers do you have? 3,063! I know some of those followers might be bots, so it's probably not completely accurate, but I'm surprised at how many followers I've accumulated over the years.

How many blogs do you have? Including this main blog, I have four! This question is a little similar to question #2, where I talk in more detail about my side blogs.

Have you ever made a shitpost? Hmm, I don't think so. P: I guess it's not my usual type of humor.

How many times do you use Tumblr a day? Back when I had more free time, I'd be on Tumblr constantly and hit post limit almost daily! Nowadays it varies how often I'm able to check on the site, but I try to log in whenever I can (at least once a day).

Have you ever fought another blog? Not really, though there was one instance I recall from many years ago (like, when I was in high school) where I did try having a debate with a white nationalist blog through anonymous asks. Unsurprisingly I was unable to change their mind. I still stand by what I said, but in hindsight I probably shouldn't have bothered trying to argue with them. Not to say that there's no hope at all in them changing their opinion, but from my experience people like that are pretty stubborn and set in their ways. I won't go into too much detail about what happened, since it's probably best to not dwell on it, and I try to keep my blog a positive place. I think they deactivated their blog at some point anyway.

How do you feel about "need to reblog" posts? I don't think anyone should ever feel forced to put something on their blog if they don't want to.

Do you like tag games? Yeah, I think they're fun! I always appreciate people who tag me in these because it shows that they (hopefully) think of me as a friend. :) I just apologize for being so bad about answering them in a timely manner.

Do you like ask games? Yeah, those are fun too! I actually don't think I've done one of those in a while. That's probably my own fault for not reblogging any ask game prompts lately.

Which of your mutuals do you think are Tumblr famous? I suppose it's subjective. I've been involved in many fandoms on Tumblr over the years, some bigger than others. Within those communities, I have mutuals who I'd say are well-known in the fandom. But I don't know if any of them would mind being tagged here. :P

Do you have a crush on a mutual? If it counts, @gumpeiyokoi is a mutual. ;o But we didn't meet here on Tumblr. We've been dating for nearly five years now!

Tags? Not sure who to tag! I'm also unsure if anyone I might tag has already done this before. :P But anyone who's interested is free to!
