I have three books next to me and I really can’t choose so you can have all three.

First Book - Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman *Saint Beryl Articulatus of Cracow, reputed to have been martyred in the middle of the fifth century. 

Second Book - Paper Ghosts by Julia Heaberlin I don’t tell him it’s a rental, or that we��ll be dumping it. 

Third Book - A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness I stopped picking at the buttons around my neck.

Ever had a song or poem written about you? 

Not that I know of. 

When was the last time you played air guitar?

Many many years ago....

Celebrity crushes

Sounds you hate/love?

I hate the sounds of crunching gears, when you don’t put the clutch in properly. New one for me since passing my test. The sound of nails on a chalk board. The sound of metal scraping on metal (thanks Granddad for that one - he ignored us when we said he was too close to the wall on a multistory car park *shudder*, sound has stayed with me over ten years). White noise. 

I love the sound of jazz music, my clarinet when I play low notes, guitar riffs. Scottish accent. The sound of my phone alarm pinging to tell me that my food has finished in the oven (I have ADHD and dyspraxia so I can’t concentrate long enough and usually forget I have food in the oven if I cook without it). The sea, and wind on a summers day. Birds singing, and a cats purr. 

Do you drive, and have you ever crashed?

Yes I drive, no thankfully I have never crashed while driving. Nearly a few times but never actually crashed thank God. I have however been in a couple of slight collisions when someone else was driving though. 

Last book you read?

The last book I’ve actually finished reading was, jeez I can’t actually remember the last one I remember is A Picture of Dorian Grey but I know I’ve read two since that. I’m actually in the middle of four books right now, Gentleman Jack - Anne Choma, A Discovery of Witches - Deborah Harkness, Paper Ghosts - Julia Heaberlin and a Rizzoli & Isles book that I can’t remember the name of. 

Do you believe in ghosts?

Yes

Do you believe in aliens? 

Yes, the universe is massive. We can’t be ignorant enough to believe we’re the only intelligent life form. 

Do you like the smell of gasoline? 

Tbh, some days especially when I’ve got a migraine I hate it. But when I’m not so bad, I don’t really notice it. 

Last movie you saw?

Secret Life of Pets 2

Do you have an obsession right now? 

Yup, Gentleman Jack. My old obsession with Waterloo Road is back, I’ve been binge watching it on YouTube. Also I’m always obsessed with dancing. (Also obsessed with trying to get out of the hell hole I live in).

Do you tend to hold grudges?

Yes. Some people I’ll forgive, others I won’t. I think it depends on the situation.

I’ve seen you answer another question about Raf and JR having the same mother and you said that would be bad for many of reasons. What are some of the other reasons besides skin tone? Because I don’t think it’s a bad idea plus I think they’re going that way anyway. With JR’s Mom having Alzheimer’s she might not recognize him right away or remember that she has a son which will add suspense plus the fact that her and Rafael got along so well in the last episode could prove that they are related.

I’m not sure if you misunderstood what I meant when I said ‘white’. Rafael is played by Justin Baldoni who is Italian/Ashkenazi Jewish and Jane is played by Rosario Dawson who is Puerto Rican/Cuban/African. Casting them as siblings would be whitewashing Rosario and that’s more than enough reason not to even so much as consider it.

Hey! Just letting you know that I followed you because my name is also Nikki and I’m a useless lesbian!

[thought-i-to-myself]

Ann @ her idiotic tribe of relations: I dunno, that’s a lot of money you’re asking for; how come you need it?

Ann @ Anne: I didn’t catch how much you’re asking for but do you want it in tens or twenties? Nvm just here, take this blank check.

I dare Sophie Rundle to top this moment where she says “How much? ☺️” immediately followed by “Of course you can 😏”

She can’t. It’s impossible. It’s too perfect.

Now with the addition of this new kiss can you make a gifset of all the door kisses?? This marks the third kiss where Ann has her back up against a door. Two was a coincidence but three is a habit!

I agree that this is definitely not a coincidence @nikkupsticks although the thing I love about this one (from 1 x 05) is that Anne sort of walks her back and puts her there versus in the other two Ann strategically places herself against the door after having shut it behind them. And I kinda think that Anne is the THIRSTIER one this time and it’s clear that even though by this point they are having sex on the regular, it’s that period at the beginning of a relationship where the THIRST IS UNQUENCHABLE and even if on days where they’re having tough conversations they still CANNOT GET ENOUGH and Anne is totally WHIPPED at this point and sorry for all the CAPS but these are just the FACTS OF LIFE and that is why we were ROBBED to not have seen this kiss and I therefore DEMAND to see every kiss left on the cutting room floor, it’s my GD RIGHT as a lesbian.
