Kyllikki Korhonen for @nikatyler’s Michael Fleur's BC

she/her | panromantic demisexual

20 y/o | somewhere in Finland

Traits: Absent-minded - Loves the outdoors - Childish - Friendly - Natural born performer

LTW: Vocal Legend

Kyllikki Korhonen seems like your typical Finnish girl. She drinks milk with dinner, likes sauna, salmiakki and long hikes in the forests. Her surname is among the most popular in the country and her shaggy blonde hair gleams in the never-setting Finnish summer sun. Sounds boring? Well, let's start from the beginning.

We’re in some Finnish village, somewhere near the central point of Finland. Little Kyllikki Korhonen performs in front of her family, singing her favorite song by the group Fröbelin Palikat. She already feels that the stage is her destiny, but her parents have a different task for her - in the future, as the oldest child, she is to take over a successful dairy company. Kyllikki doesn't know about it yet and is enjoying her childhood. Unfortunately, she is not doing very well at school, she has problems with concentration and excels only in artistic subjects. Her original way of singing is quickly noticed and she’s sent to singing competitions. There she always does something that makes the audience laugh. Mainly, it involves forgetting the lyrics, so she has to improvise and her performance turns into a small comedy. You say that winners get all the glory and runners-up are quickly forgotten? Not in this case *high fives with Yusuf Dikeç*. Her "blunders" mean that she may not take first place, but she is well remembered thanks to her specific style and soon she is offered regular performances in a certain music club in Helsinki. So, under the pretense of studying, she goes to the capital with her childhood friend Marja, who promises to hide her actions from her parents. They claim that Kyllikki's entire singing career is "childish nonsense" - they are quite strict and not very modern. When they discover (thanks to a "kind person") the real reason for their daughter's departure to Helsinki, they tell her to “immediately wise up”, continue her studies and then return to the farm. However, Kyllikki has no intention of rotting in the countryside for the rest of her life. She wants to go abroad to entertain more people with her performances and see more than just her hometown and Helsinki. She feels the world is calling her. At this point, Marja steps in and tells her about Michael's BC. Kyllikki is hesitant at first, after all, her love life has been almost non-existent so far (only a few flings), but when she sees Michael's photo, she discovers in him a colorful personality and a kindred spirit (music!), so she decides to take a risk and participate.

This is where the story ends for now. Will Michael help Kyllikki write the next chapters?

Some facts:

she likes her name (it’s from Kalevala, after all) and hates it when foreigners call her Kylie

Gemini; her birthday is on the 1st of June

158 cm (5’2)

ENFP

has two younger sisters, who look older than her

forever baby faced

makes the best rhubarb pie

has a soft spot for colour pink

falls asleep after drinking coffee or alcohol

constantly getting lost, thanks to her terrible sense of direction

only listens to pop/indie pop music

collects funny things (like this)

imitates animals well

speaks Finnish with a strong Oulu accent, but she also knows other Finnish dialects well (she always surprises people with this)

✨ Michael Fleur's Bachelor Challenge ✨

"Watcher...I almost thought you forgot." Yeah, yeah, I've been busy. "Oh, we've heard. You've abandoned the sims for another game." Dude, do you want this BC or not? "Go on."

Well, surprise surprise, it's been two years and I'm doing it again, baby! Time for a new BC.

Michael is the heir of my Showtime lepacy generation, and he needs a partner. Maybe your sim will be the one?

YA Sim, any gender, no occults

Vanilla or banilla

Please, do NOT use the Irresistible trait, as in the past sims with this trait had a huge advantage while also distracting everyone else from talking to the bachelors.

Keep the cc minimal, preferably just hair. I'm using only poisonfireleaf's retextures right now, but chazy is okay too.

No sliders.

Please, set all outfits for your sim.

I have all EPs and most SPs (all except for the Katy Perry one, Fast Lane and the movie one, iirc), so you can use stuff from all these packs. Although this is tied to my lepacy, I’ll play the BC with all my packs.

Introduce your sim, but you don't have to overthink it! A silly little blurb about them is just fine, don't waste elaborate backstories on me <3

Private download for now, please. You can make them public when they get eliminated.

Deadline: AUGUST 15, 2024.

If you want to participate but don't know how to export sims, just let me know and I can walk you through it <3 I know some people mentioned that but don't worry, it's very easy, I'll show you.

Interested? Send me an ask and I'll add you to the list! I'm thinking about going for about 8-10 contestants, but if more people will be interested, I can do more.

@moonlighthollowss - Lawrence Sallow

Sorbet Sherbet for @nikatyler's Michael Fleur’s Bachelor Challenge

Traits: Clumsy - Easily impressed - Hopeless romantic - Childish - Over-emotional

LTW: Visionary

CC: Hair - Blush (Over the Bridge) - Freckles (I have no idea how to tell which ones that were 😭)

Sorbet is light-minded sim who likes to paint and take photos. She is also Hopeless romantic and wants to find her one and only. And she hopes that Michael can be that someone 💜

[poisonfireleafs]

Elsie Noble for @nikatyler's Michael Fleur's BC

Hair - Blush

Traits: Ambitious - Dramatic - Party Animal - Brave - Avant Garde

LTW: Firefighter Super Hero

Elsie is living the good life in Twinbrook. She grew up with two older brothers, and loved playing with them and their friends in their treehouse. After becoming 18, she briefly moved to Bridgeport to discover Bridgeport's nightlife. Even though she loved to party in Bridgeport's many clubs, she missed the quietness of a small town and moved back to Twinbrook. She picked up a noble profession as a firefighter, and has been loving it ever since. The only thing that's missing from her life, is love. She hasn't found the right partner with whom she wants to spend her life with. Will Michael be the one she's looking for? If not, she still thinks this reality show will be the experience of a life time.

[bellakenobi]

Jolyne Kaiou for @nikatyler's Michael Fleur BC

CC: Hair - Lips - Blush 1 - Blush 2 - Swimsuit (sorry it just looks so good on her '-' feel free to change it if you want)

Traits: Loves the heat - Loves the outdoors - Brave - Computer Whiz - Photographer's Eye

LTW: Renaissance Sim

Jolyne is one of the many children of Riverview's famous fortune teller, Louis Kaiou. She's just became a young adult, and still doesn't have any clue of what to do now she's a grown up. Also, her interests are all over the place and this doesn't really help... I guess that this is how a reality show star story begins, right?

Best summer perfume recommendations ?

i have a hard time with summer perfumes bc i don’t really like freshies or citruses i hate marine aquatics but last summer was my summer of gardenia and it changed my life… i love the original marc jacobs by marc jacobs it’s like marissa cooper from the oc vibes like pretty high school girl in cali in the mid 2000s very pretty gardenia but sadly it seems to have lost the battle to michael by michael kors bc they’re kind of in the same vein and michael has persisted and marc has not… i also love un matin d’orange from annick goutal it’s dense sweet chewy summer night gardenia ur on the beach watching the sunset ur sweaty skin glistening that whole deal. i just got gardenia petale from van cleef & arpels it’s a nice grown up daytime gardenia it’s milky fresh clean elegant . exiting gardenia territory i also love fleur doranger from serge lutens for summer…. for a freshie i really enjoy innocent from mugler it feels really underrated.. if ur a bimbo, candy yum yum from mac … i think those are the ones i’m the most excited to wear this summer :)

How did you spend your birthday this year?

If I remember correctly I stayed home and studied, and at night my parents surprised me with a strawberry tart and a chocolate one and candles on it. If I could go back in time now, I’d tell myself, go out for a drink, you idiot (it was before covid, in January).

What was your most memorable day this year?

In the summer I went to a tiny island with a friend for a couple of days; my most memorable day is one of these, when we sat on a bench and had a clear, magnificent view of the sky. There were so many stars, the moon was beautiful, and there were Saturn and Jupiter keeping it company. 

What was your most memorable meal you had this year?

The one on my name day in October, right before our second lockdown. I went out with friends and we had so much delicious food, a bottle of rose, and cheesecake for dessert. 

Did you find any new hobbies or interests in quarantine?

I tried my hand at cooking a little more, did some yoga, and took an interesting class online aside from those at university. I also started listening to music way more. 

What was the last big event/thing you remember doing BC (before covid)?

Going to the theatre to watch a play by Chekhov, and seeing The Phantom of the Opera live! Gosh, it was wonderful. 

5 good/positive things that happened to you in 2020:

I read more books than last year, began walking around a lot which helped strengthen my legs, listened to a lot new wonderful songs, realized that I should be thankful with what I have and what I am & not always expect more of me.

Biggest messages or lessons learnt from this year?

I have to step out of my boundaries, to do new things in order to progress or I will remain where I am forever. I need to sacrifice things to become who I want to. 

And what are you most looking forward to in 2021?

Traveling - seeing new places, meeting new people, trying new things. I will do it all this year.

I’ll tag @silk-fleur @melethrille @minyardy @jasminoir @odysscy @levrathan @zrobilem-herbate @achlless @xshayarsha @roseate-angel @elm-and-oak @athenaefilia 🖤🖤🖤

FROM “MICHAEL JACKSON BOOK CLUB”, @FB.

♥️”Alrighty, my Dears, I hope this post is going to be fun but I do need to disclose that at times, it makes me cry & laugh concurrently because of the bittersweet memories and Michael's absence here on Earth with us... That unique product of loveliness & one unstoppable prankster that MJ was. So, I cry and I laugh & then, I repeat the entire process all over again until it spirals up to reach an emotional combustion of some kind. You probably know the feeling.” — Fleur Forsyte. ________________________________

👁MJ's OWN WORDS, 1987👁

✨Interview in Ebony Jet,in '87, upon the completion of his BAD Album. I can't believe I missed out on those keywords coming from him bc he made a few strong & bold statements to the public who has been considering him to be very odd, a huge eccentric and, somewhat of, an esoteric type of person, which he was.

•The 1987 interview in HD:

https://youtu.be/73UJ20c73Hg

He looked marvelous but was rather nervous because he was not wearing his shades as Frank stood nearby.

*****

•At Minute 9: 55:

Darrell: what interests you the most about life?

MJ: Learning & finding out new things & exploring. I'm so interested in the human anatomy now, the BRAIN (Minute 10:09) and in so many different things like that. The bones & everything.

Darrell: You were so interested in the bones of the Elephant Man, John Merrick. Is that the cause of your anatomical interest?

MJ: Yes. I've been to the London school for doctors twice now (not too many people do so unless their interest is extremely high) and I have visited Merrick's remains to whom I feel a degree of closeness. I love the story of an Elephant Man - a very SAD story.😥😥😥

✨ What Michael said about the Elephant Man and being able to relate to him somehow truly pierced my heart. 1987, age 29 - peak year of his Fame, yet, he was emphasizing sadness already... He felt out of place in so many ways despite being the top worldwide entertainer.😥

• "No one understands me though..."

☆ Well, no wonder he was reading the works of Sigmund Freud & Carl Jung and owned tons of medically related material.

☆ Something tells me that MJ would have become an MD, had it not been for his entertainment career. Perhaps, a pediatrician or a child psychiatry specialist. And a good one too, with a huge heart.♥️

________________________________

☆ Because Michael was deeply interested in Sigmund Freud (used an empathetic CBT method, i.e. cognitive therapy instead of overmedicating any patient with a traumatic past) & Carl Jung, I went ahead and ordered the following books from Amazon and I'm giving you the list here bc they might be of interest to you as all are highly rated. The prices are very decent too since tons of used copies are available. *****

✨Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist/psychiatrist & a dreams interpretation expert. Also, in many ways, Freud was a pioneer in the realm of the psychoanalytic dynamic.

✨Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist/psychologist and a deep thinker who also focused on symbolism interpretation (now, I see why Michael was interested in his persona & his teachings).

✨Both philosophers are quite fascinating in my eyes and thus, I'm attaching a list of books which I purchased via Amazon. Then, I will delve into the MJ "Life in Pictures" book which I totally fell in love w/ despite the fact that it's not a large size publication - about 9" in length. The MJ book even includes Michael's discography at the very end & holds 255 pages.

✨Author: Tim Hill who mostly focused on popular culture and sports at the time as that 2009 book itself was printed in China but in English. I will post some of the gorgeous photos from Tim Hill's book too. I truly recommend it to everyone and have purchased it via Mercari but it might be available on Amazon or EBay. The 1st image is the Freud & Jung book listing I ordered - both of those guys have intrigued me thoroughly.

♥️ 2nd image - look at Michael's lower lip bite and he's a tiny boy there! Too cute eh? He never changed. He's there with Donna Summers (1981 or so?), Whitney Houston (1988) and Sophia Loren who was his date at the 4th annual American Cinema Awards back in 1987. The photo of Michael in a white suit with a huge afro was taken back in 1976 whilst the wet afro photo is from 1978.

L.♥️.V.E. to All!

fandom meme : hit me up !

I was tagged by @flintvane​ and am genuinely embarrassed that i didn’t see this before now omg i’m so sorry babe

I’m tagging @sherlock-and-other-things​ , @girlwhowasntthere​ , @deinonychus-1​ , @frodobagginsess​ , and @sherlokiofpigfarts​ ! and anyone else who would like to do this meme!!

putting it under the read more bc it’s hilariously long sO

1.  YOUR CURRENT OTP(S)/OT3(S)/OTX(S)

oh gosh i have a bunch so i’m going to try and limit myself but pythacarus ( always ), gwen / leon and gwaine / percival from merlin, foggy / matt from daredevil ( i don’t watch daredevil anymore but i just watched the defenders so they’re on my mind ), jane / michael from jane the virgin, tom / sybil from downton abbey will always be a fave, dean / seamus, lavender / parvati, harry / ginny, and remus / sirius from the harry potter series, and then caleb / ben and robert / abe from TURN are my final two

2.  A PAIRING YOU INITIALLY DIDN’T CONSIDER BUT SOMEONE CHANGED YOUR MIND (BONUS POINTS: WHO WAS THAT PERSON).

i’d never considered korinna / heptarian until @girlwhowasntthere​ mentioned them and now i actually really love the ship i’d never thought about it before

3. A PAIRING YOU USED TO LOVE, BUT IT ALL FELL APART FOR YOU.

oh god. um. you know i used to watch reign and i was a really big fan of mary and francis, whom i still love don’t get me wrong, but they took mary on a really uncomfortable plotline for me in i think the second season that was unnecessary and clearly purely for //drama// and i just couldn’t quite get over them doing that and what it did to the ship it just made me uncomfortable with them and with watching the show altogether

4.  HAVE YOU ADDED ANYTHING CRACKY/HILARIOUS TO YOUR FANDOM, IF SO, WHAT.

i don’t know if this counts but i did the emily watches atlantis series? i don’t know if that counts but i think they’re funny so i’m putting it on the list?

5.  WHAT’S THE LONGEST YOU’VE EVER BEEN IN A FANDOM

harry potter. i’m super proud to be a part of that fandom and i’ve been in it since the first book came out so that’s definitely the fandom i’ve been in the longest.

6.  DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST OTP, IF SO WHO WAS IN IT.

i’m trying to think and it might’ve been richard / kahlan from legend of the seeker ( the show, not the books, i never actually read the books oops ), though i’m not sure. 

7.  NAME A FANDOM YOU DIDN’T CARE/THINK ABOUT UNTIL YOU SAW IT ALL OVER TUMBLR.

copying @flintvane​ ‘s answer and saying black sails !

8.  SAY SOMETHING GENUINELY NICE ABOUT A CHARACTER WHO ISN’T ONE OF YOUR FAVES (CHARS YOU’RE NEUTRAL ON ARE FAIR GAME, AS ARE CHARS YOU DISLIKE)

oh god. there are a bunch i have things to say about and i can’t decide bUT i’m gonna go with petra from jane the virgin. i used to really hate her at the beginning of the series, i thought she was horrible and i just couldn’t stand her, but as the series has continued she’s really become this amazing and realistically flawed woman that i just want to see happy. i wouldn’t say she’s my fave, but i do want to see her happy. 

9.  NAME THREE THINGS YOU WISH YOU SAW MORE OR IN YOUR MAIN FANDOM (OR A FANDOM OF CHOICE)

i’m gonna say atlantis for this one sO

1. another season. i mean come on, guys. come on.

2. more pythacarus, we just got the one kiss ( which was amazing a+++ ) but that was pretty much it, i know they’re not the main focus of the show, but i do love them dearly and would’ve loved to have seen more

3. where the hell are the rest of the argonauts and why did jason not go back for them i need that reunion like. two years ago. pls.

10.  CHOOSE A SONG AT RANDOM, WHICH SHIP OR CHARACTER DOES IT REMIND YOU OF

i just put my itunes on shuffle and “oceans” by seafret was the first song to come on, and it reminds me of ariadne / jason

11.  A PAIRING YOU SHIP THAT YOU DON’T THINK ANYONE ELSE SHIPS

gwen / leon from merlin. i know merthur is the Big Ship of merlin, i don’t really see many other ships there except that one. but i think a lot about gwen being pretty much abandoned by everyone she loves / loved after arthur dies, since gwaine and arthur and elyan and morgana are all dead and merlin just decided to peace tf out, but the last shot we have of her is with leon and her being a queen on her own and bringing peace to albion, etc etc, and i just think. i mean. they said they were childhood friends somewhere back in i think season two, and they were really the two people besides gaius that knew arthur the longest, and i just think that after arthur died, they would’ve been each other’s main supports, and eventually, they could’ve ended up together. this is unnecessarily long but i just have a lot of feelings about them okay and i don’t know anyone else that ships them so they’re my ship for this wOO

12.  YOUR MOST SCANDALOUS HEADCANON FOR YOUR CURRENT OTP(S)/OT3(S)/OTX(S)

i don’t think i really have any scandalous headcanons?? i’m very boring with my ships haha sorry, all my headcanons are angst or fluff

13.  DO YOU HAVE ANY HARD AND FAST HEADCANONS THAT YOU WILL DIE DEFENDING, ABOUT ANYTHING AT ALL (GENDER IDENTITY, SEXUAL OR ROMANTIC ORIENTATION, EXTENDED FAMILY, SEXUAL PREFERENCES LIKE TOP/BOTTOM/SWITCH, RELATIONSHIP WITH POETRY, SERIOUSLY ANYTHING)

pretty much any poc harry potter hcs i will defend to the death, bisexual remus lupin, myka and hg wells in warehouse 13 dated at some point, bisexual harry potter, remus / tonks was unnecessary. i liked them and everything, but i didn’t really see the point of downgrading such an amazing woman like tonks to the Love Interest. she deserved better. even remus lupin knew that. danny in the defenders needs to say “i’m the immortal iron fist” less pls and thank. putting caleb and ben ( show: TURN ) with women ( that we never actually got to see ) at the end of the show was weird. bisexual musketeers. there aren’t enough lesbians in any shows m/m ships are easier to ship since there actually are some, but f/f ships are too rare and that’s a Problem. more women friendships, i’m super tired of the women being nasty to each other bc they like the same guy or whatever. peter pettigrew had a snape/lily -esque love for sirius, which is why he turned in the potters, so sirius would think remus was the secret keeper and have no one to turn to except peter. james potter grew up and evolved, pls don’t compare him to snape. neville longbottom is pure and must be protected. luna’s family can just be whimsical!! you don’t need a Dark and Edgy reason behind it, they can just be wonky and happy and weird!! every single nickname in the harry potter series is fckin hiLARIOUS. ginny weasley deserved better than she got in the movies, they did her a massive injustice. 

14.  5 FAVORITE CHARACTERS FROM 5 DIFFERENT FANDOMS

1. ariadne ( i adore pythagoras but i’m gonna go with ariadne bc reasons ), atlantis

2. constance, the musketeers

3. cosima, orphan black

4. ginny, harry potter series ( /quietly pushes movie!ginny into a corner book!ginny for life )

5. ben talmidge, TURN

15. 3 OTPS FROM 3 DIFFERENT FANDOMS

i’m gonna put ones that i didn’t put in the first question : 

1. nomi / amanita ( sense8 )

2. korinna / ariadne ( atlantis )

3. luna / ginny ( harry potter series )

16. 5 FAVORITE SHIPS

THESE ARE SUCH HARD QUESTIONS OH MY GOD i’m going to try and put ones i haven’t mentioned before all of my ships that i’ve mentioned are favorites though okay

1. captain james / molly ( our girl )

2. fleur / tonks ( harry potter )

3. hernando / lito ( sense8 )

4. athelstan / ragnar ( vikings )

5. sirius / peter ( harry potter )

17.  JUST RAMBLE ABOUT SOMETHING FAN-RELATED, GO GO GO (PROMPTS OPTIONAL BUT ENCOURAGED)

i came late into the atlantis fandom, so i didn’t get much of a chance to be there before the series was over, but i remember seeing it all over my dash before season two came out, it was like the day before the second season started, and i was like. i gotta check this series out. so i watched the first episode of the first season, and proceeded to marathon the entire first season so i could start the second season with you lovely people in the atlantis fandom, and honestly, i’ve never been part of a better, happier, drama-free fandom. i love it so much and i love all of you so much and this is slightly cheesy but i just think everyone in the fandom is amazing. 

other things. um. okay well this is sort of fan-related, but i’ve met the most amazing group of people through my group, @orderfromchaos-rp. it’s such a talented and fantastic group of incredible writers, and i just love all of them to pieces, i’ve never had such an amazing rp experience. 

i’m hardcore worried about johnny depp and jude law playing against each other in fbawtft. i’m not a fan of jude law for this role and i actively, adamantly hate johnny depp, so i’m honestly worried that’s going to ruin that ship for me. 

i’m super excited about being a part of all the fandoms i’m in, honestly, i don’t totally know what to do for this part of this meme so i’m just ranting but i’m seriously hoping i can be in a fandom that doesn’t have its show cancelled soon after i enter it, because being longterm fandom buddies with new material sounds amazing and i would love to be a part of something like that again, i’m not really active in many fandoms rn and i wanna change that, so hmu with any suggestions for things i should watch!!!!

I was going through I a lot of stuff around eighth grade (who wasn’t) so it was also the time I kinda stopped writing.

hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | [ 10/10 would bang ]hogwarts house: gryffindor | [ slytherin ] | ravenclaw | hufflepuff (definitely has some ravenclaw in her, but she really is the walking definition of a slytherin bc she strives to be the best, power hungry af, manipulative, resourceful (remember how she spent so long trying to get the hospital running more efficiently??), need i go on??)best quality: honey how much time do we have? she’s super smart, wonderful at her job, and so so full of love that it’s unreal and it spills out of her in all directions and i love my sweet emotional wife SO MUCHworst quality: i mean, sometimes her emotions do get the better of her (bless), but i’d probably go with her problem with taking on so much shit and thinking that she deserves it– like, the stuff just before she breaks it off with edward again, settling for angus who doesn’t give her what she needs, that’s without even going near all the abuse she got from adrienne and just internalised and groomed herself into believing that it was okay bc she didn’t want anyone else’s help. poor bean. someone pls save hership them with: bernie, obviously– also colette sheward, fleur fanshawe, buttons (!!!), basically any woman to ever exist, kate stewart, and (reluctantly) michael spencebrotp them with: ric griffin, raf di lucca, fletch, essie harrison (altho i lowkey ship it), lowkey henrik hanssenneeds to stay away from: death, unhappiness, mediocre menmisc. thoughts: serena !! campbell !! deserves !! so !! much !! honestly i cannot see how anyone would think that she is less than perfect bc she is just one of the most important and interesting and wonderful characters of all time i just want to lay down and cry

Character trinket things bc that’s something I actually put a bunch of thought into at one point:

Ren Shepard has her mother’s wedding ring (a family heirloom, worn by her grandmother first) and a little amulet of St Michael given to her by her aunt Nela; she carries both on the same chain her dogtags are on.

Anna tends more to tattoos than to physical trinket type things (she’s covered in ink, all carefully placed to not be visible when she’s in uniform because Admiral Shepard’s kid can’t be looking like some sloppy non-comm, oh no), mostly because she’s learned to travel light; her exception is one set of her late father’s dogtags, which she wears next to her own.

- Ben’s little thing is the key to the motorcycle with an actual antique combustion engine he had back on Earth, pulled from a scrapyard; he doesn’t really need the reminder of where he grew up, but if he ever forgets, it’s there.

Blair, on the other hand, does not buy into your sentimental shit, because it’s just *stuff*, who cares. People kill each other over stuff and it’s stupid.

- Ada has her mother’s little fleur-de-lis pendant, which she tends to use as an anchor of sorts (or, at worst, a reminder of how heartbroken her mother would be at what she’s become).

- Jane has lived out of a shoebox as long as she can remember, and doesn’t tend to accumulate stuff, but wears a ring her folks got her when she finished Basic; it’s nothing fancy, plain little titanium band, but it suits her.

- Cari doesn’t tend to take sentimental stuff with her on rotation, but the exception is this smooth little rock she picked out of a river bed as a kid; it’s in her pocket and it’s the perfect size for her to fidget with when the situation allows.

- Petra has a rock, too, but hers is one she found along the seawall in Vancouver just before she shipped out to Basic (and she wouldn’t be back to Vancouver for years). It’s not a fidget for her, but she carries it around as a “that’s where you came from, and you’re not going back.”

- Payette (Ryder) never really had a token type of thing, but after (spoiler) happens, she finds herself carrying her father’s wedding ring in her pocket. She’s not going to wear his armor (oh my god no), but she can’t make herself put his ring aside.

The Ultimate Harry Potter Tag

So it's been almost seven years since I last read the books, but in those seven years I found and thrived in the fandom and have watched the movies often. I plan on doing this tag again once I have reread the entire series. I expect that some of my answers will change and I'm looking forward to it.

GENERAL

1 Favorite book?

This is going to be a common answer on here for now, but I don't know because I don't remember. I’ll say The Order of the Phoenix because there was so much to it.

2 Least favorite book?

The first one because I have tried to pick it up and reread it so many times, but it's hard because it is meant for children. It is a kid’'so book and very hard to get into.

3 Favorite movie?

For the longest time it was GoF, but recently I've really enjoyed watching OotP

4 Least favorite movie?

PoA, I'm not exactly sure why. I know I'm in the minority, haha, but the first time I saw it I just didn't like it too much and it hasn't stayed with me too well. I never want to watch that one when I have a choice between it and the other HP movies, I guess I don't care for it as much.

5 Favorite quote?

I’m not sure. But I do remember this from the first movie, I don't think it's in the book, but I was obsessed with it for a bit five years ago. “"It does not do to dwell on dreams, Haryy, and forget to live.” I think it's a good quote.

6 Favorite Weasley?

Why must you make me choose!?! Right now I’m gonna say Molly. Amazing character.

7 Favorite female character?

Hermione

8 Favorite villain?

Bellatrix is fascinating to me (let's forget that Cursed Child ruined her for me) I hate her, but she's fascinating. Also the Malfoys.

9 Favorite male character?

I don't know. Harry.

10 Favorite professor?

McGonagall is amazing.

WOULD YOU RATHER

11 A, Wash Snape’s hair, or B, spend a day listening to Lockhart rant about himself.

I don't want to wash Snape’s hair and I can zone out pretty easily, so I’ll listen to Lockhart.

12 Duel A, an elated Bellatrix, or B, an angry Molly

Aaahhhhhh I don't know. Probably an angry Molly because there's a chance she's not angry at me, whereas an elated Bellatrix means she's elated for a reason and that's never good.

13 Travel to Hogwarts via A. Hogwarts Express or B. flying car.

Hogwarts Express (Cursed Child “canon” forgotten) 

14 A, Kiss Voldemort. Or B, give Umbridge a bubble bath.

i don't know why I decided to do this without reading through it first, but I guess i’d rather kiss Voldemort because that'd be over faster and a variety of other reasons.

15 A, ride a hippogriff, B, ride a firebolt

I don't knoooooowwwww. Firebolt.

BOOK TO MOVIE ADAPTATION

16 Is there a character which you felt differently about in the movies vs books?

I don't know, I can't remember. I’ll say Ginny bc that's one I can remember. Or maybe Fleur, yeah.

17 Is there a movie you preferred instead of the book?

No. I can say that with full confidence. 

18 Richard Harris or Michael Gambon as Dumbledore?

Both. Both were amazing and made the role their own while still bringing the magic of the character to life.

19 Your top thing (person or event) which wasn’t included in the movie that annoyed you most.

I don't knoooowwww. I don't rememberrrr. Maybe Skeeter being an animagus? I can't think of anything that annoyed me because it's been solo looong.

20 If you could remake any of the Potter movies, which would it be?

PoA or HBP

HOGWARTS

21 Which house was your first gut feeling you’d be a part of?

Gryffindor

22 Which house were you actually sorted into on Pottemore (or another online sorting quiz)?

Gryffindor.... and then Ravenclaw.... and then hufflepuff.... and then Gryffindor again.... All on Pottermore... so I guess I'm Gryffindor 

23 Which class would be your favourite?

I used to say charms when I was younger, but now I think transfiguration.

24 Which spell do you think would be most useful to learn?

Either accio or lumos. We’ll go with lumos. Oh and nox I guess too.

25 Which character do you think at Hogwarts you’d instantly become best friends with?

I don't know. honestly probably Hermione or maybe someone like Hannah or something. Katie Bell perhaps?

MISCELLANEOUS

26 If you could own one of the three Hallows, which would it be?

Probably the invisibility cloak just to mess around with it. I wouldn’t use for anything serious.

27 Is there any aspect of the books you’d want to change? This can be a character, and event, anything.

That the other houses were better represented and Slytherin wasn’t hated on all of the time.

28 Favorite marauder?

I don’t know. I’m not too big of a fan of any of them, but if I had to choose it’d probably be Lupin.

29 If you could bring one character back to life, which would it be?

This is tough because I do think that all of the deaths happened for a reason in the book and bringing one back to life kind of undoes stuff. But I miss Fred.

30 Hallows or horcruxes?

Hallows
