#it's been on my to do list for _ages_

[millieindeed]

Hah, haven't done this in a while. Tagged by @notabuddhist

Ages ago admittedly, but then I lost the tab in my pile of tabs.

1. are you named after anyone?

Yep! A few people actually. Millicent comes from my great auntie Millicent. A ferocious and seriously impressive lady. I only met her a few times due to being several continents apart, but she always amazed me. I'm somewhat also named after Millicent from Ozy and Millie, the excellent comic by Dana Simpson.

My middle name Alice also comes from my Grandma. It's actually her first name though she typically goes by her middle name. Plus I like the association to a good friend and to she of Alice in Wonderland.

2. when was the last time you cried?

I think about a week ago? I've been rereading the exceptional Old Addictions Die Hard by @logjammer9000 and there are quite a few parts that made me sob. Indeed a big part of why I started my third reread is the most recent chapter included a character death that had me absolutely sobbing. She knows exactly how to destroy me it seems.

3. do you have kids?

No, but I'd love to. It's gotten harder (being trans is a complicating factor), and I often worry that I won't get a chance, but I really would love to be a Mum. On the plus side my sister is interested in having kids and I would be pretty happy to be a cool aunt to them.

4. do you use sarcasm a lot?

Hm. I don't think so. I think I did when I was younger, as I seem to remember having that as a reputation? but can't recall specifically.

5. what sports do you play / have you played?

Tennis and Basket Ball. I think the tennis was mostly just learning not matches, but it was outside school so I think it counts. The basketball was matches, and our team were....not amazing. But I really enjoyed it and it was crazy how much better I was at it than people who didn't play (crazy to me because I assumed I was bad) when I tried it out later.

6. what's the first thing you notice about other people?

Hrm. I'm not sure there's like, a body part or w/ever I go to consistently. It's mostly just 'do they have any distinguishing looks that make them look a bit queer', otherwise my attention often doesn't last long. Y'know, cool jacket, tattoos, pins, coloured hair, that sort of thing.

7. what's your eye colour?

Brown. I used to dislike that cause it was 'boring' and 'normal' but I think it's a fairly nice shade.

8. scary movies or happy endings?

Yup! Love scary movies, all about that. Love happy endings too, big sap for stories where things are just, nice. Doesn't even necessarily need stakes some of the time.

9. any special talents?

I'm bad at complimenting myself so I sorta just don't think I'm good at anything? I'm a bit of a jack of all trades and can pick things up pretty quickly. And generally do them reasonably well when I get a chance to figure it out. I can be really good at retaining instructions and then teaching others (was complimented on this recently so I can ignore the internal criticism).

I also think I'm pretty good with people. Listening to them and empathising when needed. I've been told I have capybara energy which I think is pretty special.

10. where were you born?

Misread this as 'were you born' and was wondering why Macbeth was fishing for information.

I was born in Arica, in Chile. I have few memories from there, mostly from when I revisited at age 5. We left after about 2 years.

11. what are your hobbies?

haaaah. Well. All of them.

I draw and paint; I crochet and knit; I like building models; I do puzzles; I game; I run & rock climb; I write; I like making things in general regardless of medium; I paint miniatures; I make games; I play TTRPGs (mostly D&D).

Not all the time, but those are hobbies I like and where I haven't done them in a while I intend to return to them when the mood takes me.

12. do you have any pets.

Yes! I have an absolutely adorable cat named Kita. She's a princess and meows a LOT and likes to sit on my chest while I work.

I also just recently got a puppy! His name is Ozy (officially Ozymandias King-of-Kings). He's a bit of a terror at the moment due to the puppy madness, but I adore him. He's the softest and cuddliest thing you've ever seen and when not mad, he's a pretty chill and snoozy guy. Also real smart, it's a danger.

13. how tall are you?

Last I measured I was 5'11. That was before the hormones though, so it's possible I'm shorter now.

14. favourite subject in school?

I loved anything that let me be creative. I got a lot out of creative writing, photography, painting etc. Sadly didn't really pursue many into the later parts of schooling as I went with the uni required English Lit which wasn't creative and was just reading and analysing which I didn't like. Some good teachers tho. I also loved Programming (the class had a few names) and was pretty decent at it. Also what I do now for a living.

15. dream job?

Ahhh, I'm currently struggling with this personally! I don't really know. The work I do is...fine. It pays well and keeps me engaged at least some of the time. I was liking it more because I got them to give me a 4 day week. But I found the income hit hard and am back on 5 days and hating it.

I think my current dream would be to run a Bookshop/Event Space. Somewhere fairly cosy with room to host like queer community events, or D&D games or that sort of thing.

That or some kind of artist/writer.

GET TO KNOW THE MUN

— 𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐒

(𝐏𝐄𝐍)𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄: Minna 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐒: she / her 𝐙𝐎𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐂: gemini 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐄 / 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐍: taken — 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐒

𝐢. My first language is Finnish. Was born, raised and still live in Finland and started to learn English in like 4th grade or something. Technically English is my third language as finns have Swedish as their second one, but I hardly even remember how to introduce myself in Swedish since I never really got into it.

𝐢𝐢. I love singing and dancing. Used to win some karaoke contests back in the day and had competitive dancing as a hobby when I was still tiny. Nowadays I only do freestyle dancing in my spare time and sing only for my own pleasure. Kinda didn’t like the spotlight to be perfectly honest.

𝐢𝐢𝐢. I don’t have any confidence in my own skills. Like total zero. But I’m very glad people still like my writing and art.

— 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 I started writing small little stories as a kid to escape reality. Turned into a rper in the age of 12 when I discovered this Finnish fantasy forum and joined with my friend as original characters, stayed there until the place went under and then jumped to MSN messenger rp. Did some jrock roleplays with friends basically before I found my way to tumblr. My first tumblr muse was Mephisto Pheles from Ao No Exorcist and I spread out from there to other muses in the AnE fandom. After that I finally landed on Yumichika and got stuck on him, basically. He’s been an active muse of mine for _ages_ and well, he still is. On top of Yumi, other Bleach muses I’ve had are Izuru Kira, Byakuya Kuchiki, Akon, Ikumi Unagiya, Ichigo Kurosaki, Ruri’Iro Kujaku, Shinji Hirako and a very private Szayelaporro Granz. So yeah, I’ve done a lot.

— 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 I love me some fabulous bois in all honesty. I’m truly a sucker for anyone extra and high in self-confidence, maybe because I don’t have any. Other types I love to rp are characters who seem beautiful to me(which is ironic, I know), but what I mean is that their persona seems poetic, tragic or somehow like a good, heartfelt story. Then there are the characters that are kinda like a vacation from serious topics too, but those never seem to get too active for me. I just love intense feelings and personalities.

— 𝐒𝐔𝐁-𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐄𝐒

𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐅𝐅: I don’t mind it. If the chemistry between the characters works and the muse leans towards fluff then sure, let’s get the cutesy sweet moments going!

𝐒𝐌𝐔𝐓: Eh, not that important to me, in all honesty. Sure, once again with the chemistry being there, smut is more than welcome, but I prefer the flirtatious stages to the actual action. Maybe it’s the Yumi in me that enjoys the flirty banter, Idk.

𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐒𝐓: Angst can be great, but it also can be triggering for me. Whenever it gets really good with angst, I love it to bits and pieces, but when I have irl issues myself going on, it can be too much. Whenever diving deep to angst and serious threads, I kinda need to be ready for it mentally. Most of the time I’m all good with it, but there are times I can not handle the burden that my character carries on top of my own stuff lol.

— 𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐒 𝐯𝐬. 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐒

I love plotting. I’m the kinda person who loves to think of what-if’s and construct scenarios with someone, but has a hard time turning it into reality at times. Memes are great and give some freedoms to the writers from actually having to write up a situation where a certain sentence from a prompt list could be said or whatever. In ideal situations I prefer a bit of both; send in a meme and lets talk about where that meme could take the characters!
