@themegalosaurus​ tagged me in an About Me meme! I only just saw, and then proceeded to have small crisis about who I even am. You know, the usual. 

Fictional character I relate to the most:

Probably Velanna from Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening. She has a lot of pent up anger which sometimes blinds her, and very focused on what she thinks is right or wrong, insistent to a point that’s sometimes an issue, and definitely blinded by her strong emotions. On the other hand, she’s idealistic and it makes her preserve, her culture and her people’s future are very important to her (hi, I’m Jewish and mad a lot), and she would do absolutely everything for those she loves, even though that’s just a very small number of people. (Plus, she’s very much coded as autistic, has problems understanding sarcasm and relating to other people, especially when she was younger, and as autistic person with very low empathy, that’s a mood.)

Book you can read over and over without getting tired of it:

Terry Pratchett’s Thud! definitely, or, well, any other Terry Pratchett novel. My favourite book series are The Edge Chronicles, by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell. They’re children’s fantasy books, but they’re essentially to me what Harry Potter was to a lot of other people growing up. I periodically re-read The Winter Knights, which is my favourite of the series (except that my favourite character is from the Rook trilogy, but Oh Well).

What’s your favourite comfort show/movie:

Leverage, definitely. Whenever I feel bad, I just queue up random episodes and watch them until I feel better, and so far, it has worked every single time. (On occasion, I rewatch random s1 and s2 episodes of Supernatural - it’s more a nostalgia thing, but it depends on why I need comfort.) Also Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, provided I skip certain episodes.

Which fictional character are you most defensive over:

Sam, as should be evident, and pretty much... every female character in anything ever. Some people are Wrong About Talia Winters from Babylon 5 and her s2 arc, so I gotta fight them, and I feel also rather defensive of Loghain in Dragon Age, Xanth from the Edge Chronicles, and Ash Tyler from Star Trek: Discovery. 

Show you fell out of love with:

Uh, Teen Wolf, probably? I was on a field trip when s3 was airing, missed several episodes, found out my fave died during those, and then I just stopped caring. 

Show you’re most excited for:

The new season of Shadowhunters is going to start airing on the 20th, and I really need my boy Simon to be okay! That’s all I want. (Also, Anna Hopkins is going to play Lilith, and I’m extremely into her.) Other than that, I’m slowly making my way through season 2 of Jessica Jones, which I’m enjoying a lot, and I’m excited for the new seasons of Grace and Frankie and Star Trek: Discovery.

What’s your aesthetic:

I’m gay and trans, so I just really love graphic shirts and flannel with cargo pants and a leather jacket. I've been trying for years to look both queer and unapproachable, but random strangers still strike up conversations with me on public transport at least twice a week, so I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing wrong?

Favourite fanfic tropes:

Enemies to Friends to Lovers is just... so good. It’s so good. (They don’t have to be enemies, but just people that are pretty antagonistic towards each other at the beginning and then grow to know each other and like each other and then fall in love. FUCK YES.) Related to that, the mutual, seemingly unrequited pining? YES.

On the other hand, I also love the very slow change from best friends to lovers. People that already know each other, have been through a lot together, whose feelings change gradually, slowly, and their relationship just changes into something different. Love it.

And all of these can be perfectly tied together by pretending to be dating/married for a case/a family gathering/insert other flimsy excuse. Especially when it’s a Mistaken For A Couple and they just go along with it and it grows and they’re in way over their head?? Yes.

(Specific to Supernatural, though, I love powers!Sam and Boy King!Sam both a whole lot. Fuck me up. Also, is asphyxiation a trope or does that just fall under Kinks We Wish Nate Would Stop Bringing Up?)

Aaaand with that, I am tagging:
