i of course HAVE to ask for number 6 on the ask game with mcqueen and anyone else you think would be fun to answer for. i would also love to ask 1 and 5!
~zale (@zaletham)
Thank you so very much Zale!!! Didn't realize how lengthy I was gonna talk about this here in the post and in the tags, but it was very nice to get out my system!! 😊
I'm actually so excited that you asked number 6 for M.cQueen, it hadn't even crossed my mind at first, and technically isn't zoo or aquarium, moreso museum, but I think that still qualifies- but! L.ightning actually loovesss dinosaurs! I don't know if you've ever heard of C.ars On The Road, it's like this little series that came out in 2023, each episode is about 5 minutes long(they say like 7 minutes but it's just 2+ minutes of credits, no extra credit scenes except for a 5 second one in one episode) and L.ightning and M.ater, to make a long story short, go on a roadtrip together and they go on stops along the way and the first stop they go to is like a dinosaur museum!
And L.ightning like full swing goes into hyperfixation mode and just babbles about dinosaurs and I love it. He says he did "hours of intensive research" and it just cuts to him watching documentaries in M.ack's trailer and it makes me giggle. M.ack is so sweet, I can only imagine how much second-hand dino knowledge he has cause of L.ightning or overhearing his documentaries! There's also been some jokes that what if the main reason L.ightning wanted to be D.inoco's team in the first movie is just cause he likes dinosaurs and I love it.
I explain a bit more in the tags but tumblr has a one video limit per post that I didn't know about?? So I'm just doing one of the clips here!
They're so silly I love it.
But basically to make a long story short! L.ightning has a massive hyperfixation on dinosaur stuff and would thrive in a dinosaur related musuem. Though, I'd imagine he'd be bored in an aquarium or zoo until he realized that he could make connections here, and he'd go around to all the bird-type species or sharks and talk about how they're related to dinosaurs or have dinosaur ancestors and such!
1) what does their alarm ringtone sound like
It took me some pondering at first who to answer this for and then an idea immediately hit me, and I'd figure I'd answer this for F.rancesco
Basically, to put it in a nutshell, F.1 is a bunch of international racers on international race courses, and whoever wins at the end of each race gets their national anthem played! And I'm giggling over the thought of F.rancesco setting his alarm that he wakes up to in the morning to ltaly's national anthem.
Ringtone wise though, he'd definitely set it to a specific song, or something someone would ask questions about so he could go on this entire spiel about how it relates to him or something he likes. I'd probably rub off on him at some point and he'd make his ringtone(or the ringtone specifically for when I call) S.mooth Operator by Sade.
5) how do they bookmark their book pages
I'll answer this one for F.inn, just cause I think he's the one that's mostly likely to read full books fairly frequently. He'd probably just have a simple bookmark. something small and fairly thin cause he likes taking care of his books and wouldn't want to bend any pages or mess up the spine of the book too badly, probably something like this:
Maybe not the particular design that's on it, but definitely just the rectangle with the little tassels on it. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a bookmark with the UK flag on it as a design, he's quite patriotic and I think it's adorable. Though due to my recent knitting escapades he'd 100% ask me to knit one like one of these:
Though this has also given me the brilliant enlightenment idea of F.inn having one of those book lights or book lamps that clamp onto the book and shines a light on it and you can kinda adjust it and l'1l be having brainrot over that for a bit. May or may not have cultivated a fic idea around it already.
reposting bc i had to fix a lot of mistakes 💀 ANYWAYS have this jrand dialogue in shadow prison (they're sad and pathetic)
"This is all your fault, Ridley! If you weren't such a dickhead NEITHER OF US would be here"
"Oh, this is rich. We're pulling out the surnames now are we?"
"You're such a fucking asshole! For once have you ever thought how the shit you pull could affect other people?"
"Emotions are for-"
"Are for what? Stupid people?? Great then none of your relationships would fall apart if you'd just stop thinking for a second."
"LISTEN HERE FUCKER–"
"No, fuck you. I'm done listening to your bullshit. It's all I've dedicated my pathetic life to and look where it got me."
"What the hell are you gonna do? Give me the cold shoulder through our entire sentencing? After all the shit YOU have done to ME."
"Sorry? The shit I'VE done?? Oh please, name them! Please name all the shit I've done to you besides support you when you clearly didn't deserve it."
"You ruined my plan. You shot my daughter–"
"And who was the one who got her there in the first place? How dare you bring Reagan into this after all the shit YOU have done to HER."
Silence.
"I'll have you know I was the only person she had growing up. When you were busy wiring a robot out of her, I had to be there for her. Not her father nor her mother. Me."
Silence again.
"Your silence is very telling of the kind of person you are, Ridley. Reagan had always been a bright kid but you fucked her up. Just like how you fucked up everything you've ever had."
"Your career. Your marriage. Us. For someone who insists on being God, you have an amazing inability to understand love and devotion."
"People cared about you but you didn't like that. Yet when everyone walked away, you didn't like that either. Reagan had friends who loved and cared for her but you can't fathom that. You're so pathetic that you can't fathom how any of that could be beneficial for anyone. Now look at you. Unloved, disheveled, and in prison."
"You talk so lowly of love yet if you'd just accepted it, accepted that you WERE loved– Maybe things would've been different. Maybe we wouldn't be in prison and maybe your marriage wouldn't collapse."
"But you're always you. You're Rand Ridley, and that is enough to ruin you."
"Tamiko really did love you, I know she did. Reagan too, she looked up to you the most and did everything–"
"And you?" Finally, Rand spoke.
"What... What do you mean?"
"Love me... Did you?"
Silence.
"Yeah... I did. And maybe if you grew a pair for once and took a moment to look at yourself–"
Probably unpopular opinion but… James would have been a better parent than Lily, and probably would have been the one to adjust to parenthood the easiest.
oooooh, controversial, anon
i feel like my answer to this would be equally unpopular but i agree with you
and the thing is, there's no specific reason for it, either. absolutely no basis in canon (where we see examples of lily's parenthood, not james) but i just--am really biased towards my boy ykno?
in addition to viewing james as nurturing/like a caretaker, i also feel like lily was the more selfish of the two. and more independent as well. so she would take time to adjust to this entire human depending on her whereas james is a fkn sponge--he'll love having harry attached to him at all times. he was also a lonely child who adored his parents and wanted something similar to that whereas lily's family situation was, well. ykno.
so yeah, i dont know if i'd call it a better parent, exactly (james was almost def the more indulgent of the two, and would always put harry's happiness over everything, even if it could be detrimental so he had his faults) but i do think he was a natural parent and it came harder to lily.
im highly sensitive and jumpy wobbly rn so just in advance it would be nice if ppl would be patient and specify tones or meanings especially tonight so i dont immediately misunderstand or panic while i try to calm down and regulate my mood back to normal hhhhshsh sry and thanks...,.,💦
