Will this be the night? (ALSO IN A03)

A random piece of online advertising unleashes some movie memories of a Summer afternoon in 1932

1.5 Ks Fanfic + Pictures Inside. Part of the Never let us lose what we have gained series (AO3) Silly drabble born from my love of classic movies... that ended up not having anything to do with classic movies.

BROOKLYN'S KING'S THEATRE

Poster for Cary Grant's Retrospective. Printed paper 2025.

A poster for the upcoming month long celebration of the movies of Cary Grant to be held in Brooklyn.

Bucky is not expecting a vivid memory of the past to jump at him from a piece of online location-targeted promotion popping on his phone as he and Steve are wandering around the neighborhood on a random Friday.

But the 21st century works in mysterious ways and Google is kindly inviting him to check “Cary Grant: A Celebration”, a month-long chronological retrospective of all his movies taking place at a nearby hipster cinema starting… in half an hour.

He beams as a long string of memories of the both of them in different afternoons and movies plays in his head; how they counted the cents for the admission price, and how Bucky learned to sneak into the movie every time that did not add up to two full tickets.

“Buck, you’ve been smiling at your phone in silence for a whole minute,” Steve interrupts his daydreaming. “Should I be jealous? Worried?”

“Sorry,” he answers, still smiling about the memories. “I think I’m leaving you for Google, they see inside my one hundred years old soul; But I might give you another chance if you don’t mind a change of plans for the afternoon.”

“Lead the way, but can you give me some heads up?” Steve chuckles, more than used to Bucky’s ways.

He takes Steve’s hand to direct them towards the movie theatre and thinks about how much information he wants to share.

Although he is the one who still relies on the comfort of 30s and 40s movies whereas Steve keeps getting bolder with his options, Steve has always loved Cary Grant and Bucky thinks he’s going to appreciate his choice since this particular movie has a history (sad history, maybe) for them, so he debates on whether to tell him or not.

“We are going to the movies. But the real ones, not that shit on Netflix you keep choosing,” he settles for half-disclosure.

“Damn, mister life in black and white strikes again. Embrace the 21st century, Barnes, I think you’ll like it!”, Steve laughs.

“Hey, I embrace it more than you do! At least I look the part of a mid-thirties man from it instead of a fifty-year-old hiding in fucking khakis. Albeit a very hot one, I’ll give you that.”

They both laugh. It’s not the first time these remarks fly between them and having a routine, running jokes, and running pet peeves is very soothing after everything they have gone through.

They’re getting closer to the cinema now, and Bucky can already see the Billboard announcing the retrospective and a small queue forming upfront. He takes a side look at Steve to see if he has noticed and he can certainly tell that his curiosity has peaked.

“Surprise! Call it a win-win, it might be up my alley, but you used to love Cary Grant movies,” Bucky smiles as they reach their place in the queue and glance at the program for the afternoon.

‘This is the Night (1932)’, the poster says, ‘Cary Grant's feature film debut on the big screen’

Bucky is deep in nostalgia, remembering a summer day of 32 when they were waiting in line for the same film and how the evening turned out, but when he looks in search of his partner’s reaction, it’s not what he expected at all.

“Steve, you ok?” he asks, worried at seeing Steve frozen in place.

Steve nods. His whole face is deep red, but at least he is responsive. He looks ashamed and Bucky is shifting from worried to curious.

“Jesus, this movie,…” he chuckles now.

“You seem to remember, then. I thought you might.”

It was not a happy memory: Steve had felt really ill halfway through, looking white as a sheet of paper and about to die on Bucky. They had to leave the unfinished movie and run home, as per Steve’s request. But as far as Bucky remembers, nothing to be ashamed of.

“Why are you acting weird? Oh my god, Steven, are you allergic to this movie?”

The silence before Steve answers is a little too long and the queue moves forward.

“Shit, this is not easy to say and I’m sorry in advance.”

“Duly noted, but could you try to explain? I’m lost and I didn’t expect a full-on confession of something to be sorry about when I decided to follow Google’s intelligent advice to an unfinished movie. I just thought it was a good excuse for a change of plans. And kind of closure.”

Steve takes a breath and starts talking.

“I wasn’t honest with you, Buck. Back then…” he stops, searching for words, nervously musing on his beard. “Ah, I cannot believe this hasn’t come up at some point, but there it goes. I absolutely lied to you that day: I wasn’t sick or half dying and I am very very guilty of using my poor health to run away from that place and that movie, but I did the only thingI could think of.”

Bucky is at a loss for words, he’s still deciding if he is angry, curious, or somewhere in between.

“But… but you were feverish and white as a ghost and you said you had palpitations!”

Steve seems to think for a moment again and the bastard laughs so loud they get a curious look from the people behind. And taking advantage of the queue moving up again, he gets really really close to Bucky who honestly thinks he’s going to try to kiss himself out of the situation since it’s a bulletproof strategy.

But he doesn’t: He goes for Bucky’s ear instead, and whispers.

“I had a boner like you wouldn’t believe.”

Bucky gasps loudly totally taken aback while Steve takes a step back and looks at him in the eye more amused and hungry than ashamed, but still blushing.

“But hey, not all lies! I was somehow sick. And pale since my blood was… otherwise occupied. And I was barely 14!”

Bucky laughs at the dork. His dork. But the information is still making its way into his brain.

“Oh my God,” he exclaims as it starts to settle, “You piece of shit, you pulled the poor sick child card when you were just plain horny. I was worried to my bones as we run to your home. Shame on you Rogers!”

“Me? It was your fucking fault! Yours and Cary Grant’s and your stupid grins and stupid chins, those clefts!” he’s screaming in whispers so Steve Rogers’ teenage boner doesn’t make it to the news, but he’s talking as if he was pronouncing an important speech to the UN, “What was a 14-year-old in the fucking 30s popping one upon seeing an actor who kind of looked like a very tall version of his very male best friend to do?”

He is about to say something, but Steve literally covers his mouth with one hand giving Bucky no other option but to stick his tongue and lick the palm.

“Gross, Buck. I’m not done!”, he dries his hand on Buckys’ shirt before he goes on. “I’m not done because as I was still processing all that, you kept brushing your goddamned hand with mine when you went for popcorn! Over and over and over. It was torture. I have palpitations now just thinking about it.”

Bucky full-on laughs. One of those real ones that come more and more lately and that he honestly thought he would never get to experience again.

They have reached the box office, so he doesn’t push it further. For now.

“Two tickets for `This is the Night´, please.” Bucky smiles at the box-office guy. “He is paying, tho. I paid last time we tried to see this one and he didn’t have the decency to stay until the end.”

He actually feels like a teen as Steve takes his hand into the theatre, as he very intentionally buys popcorn to share, and as they start full-on making out on their seats during the commercials once the lights are out.

“Wanna know another secret, Buck?” Steve whispers a few minutes later, eyes on the starting movie as he brushes Bucky’s hand with intention over the popcorn bucket. His flustered face and recently kissed lips bathed by dancing lights and shadows coming from the screen. “It’s a good thing we were already together in ‘38 when “Bringing up baby” came out because I was able to plan ahead and lure you into that memorable window fuck at our old apartment before the show, or we would have totally missed one of our favorite movies, too.”

Bucky hates Steve with the force of the universe. Or maybe not, but he’s not playing clean.

“Raincheck on the movie?” he manages to whisper back as he drives Steve��s hand to his already noticeable hard-on. Two can play this game.

“Oh, poor Buck. Do you have palpitations” Steve chuckles, lips wet on Bucky’s ear and gripping harder on his bulge instead of letting go. “Was that the memory of the window fuck? Or all the making out? Tell me so I don’t do it again.”

“You are a punk, Steve Rogers,” Bucky answers before standing up to leave, closely followed by a smiling Steve.

Argh, sorry for deleting and uploading again, but i had technical issues with this.... so here it goes again. I need to free myself from this one!

SECOND PART TO "THROUGH THE WARNING SIGN'S" PLEASE

i’d like to make you mine || h. styles

sequel to ‘through the warning signs’

warnings: swearing, references to masks + covid

word count: 1.5k

summary: a glass of spilt wine leads to slightly different plans...

part one.

Sat at the desk in the spare room of Florence’s house, you listened to Louisa’s ramblings about how rude it was that you’d waited at least two hours to tell her that you were going on a date with Harry Styles. You’d FaceTimed her as soon as you and Florence got home from set, but no, she wasn’t having that as an excuse. “Well, what are you going to wear?” she asked.

You shrugged, rubbing your moisturiser along your face, “I don’t know. I haven’t really thought about it yet.”

She was tucked up in her bed at home in England. She had her duvet pulled up to her chin, the soft hum of music in the background. She scoffed, “Haven’t really thought about? You are joking, right? You’re going out for dinner with Harry fucking Styles and ‘you haven’t really thought about what you’re gonna wear’?”

“Don’t say it like that,” you sighed.

“Like what?”

“Harry fucking Styles,” you mocked as she grumbled something about not sounding anything like that. “You’re making it sound like a big deal.”

“Uh, Y/N, it kind of is a big deal.”

“No, it’s just like I’m going on a date with any other boy.”

She let out a loud laugh, “Oh, no, Y/N. I didn’t mean it like that. I was talking about the fact that you haven’t been on a date in, like, two years.”

You let out a gasp in mock offence, “Fuck you!”

She chuckled, “No, but I am happy for you.”

“Really? And you’re not jealous?”

“Why would I be jealous?”

“You used to be literally in love with him.”

She gasped, “I was not!”

“Don’t lie, Louisa,” you laughed. “You used to come and sleep at my house when we were, like, seventeen and you’d do nothing but talk about him.”

“You know I was a Liam girl. Besides, I’m just waiting for Robert Pattinson to return my call,” she sighed.

“Robert Pattinson? Jesus, Louisa, weren’t you just nursing a major obsession with Timothée Chalamet?” you laughed. You’d always found her ability to crush on celebrities so easily hilarious.

“That’s besides the point.”

You looked over at the clock hung above your temporary bed. 5:23. “Right, I better go.”

She pouted, “Do you have to?”

“Yes! And shouldn’t you be getting some sleep? Don’t you have work in the morning?”

“Maybe.”

“What time is it over there?”

“Like half one in the morning.”

“Exactly! Go to sleep, Louisa.”

“Fine. I love you, Y/N.”

“Love you too, Louisa,” you smiled gently at her as she hung up. It was nice talking to Louisa again after so long. You did miss her dearly. But now you had a date with Harry to distract you for a little while.

Once you’d carefully concocted an outfit and finished drying your hair from the shower you’d had before you called Louisa (you’d assured her that she’d been your number one priority once you got back from set, but it was really hygiene, especially before a date you’d been waiting for for four years), it was about time for Harry to arrive. So, you sat downstairs with Florence and her boyfriend, Zach. Your knee was bouncing as you waited for him, your stomach full on dread. “Y/N, will you calm down? It’ll be fine,” Florence sighed. “He clearly cares. Fuck, I mean he literally asked about what allergies you had before asking you out to dinner.”

You nodded, and before you had the chance to say anything, a knock at the door only sent you into a complete state of collapse. Florence extended her hand and dragged you towards the door. With every step, you felt more and more sick. “I feel ill, Flo. I might just lie down. Tell Harry I said sorry,” you rushed out quickly, trying to turn and run towards the staircase. But to no avail.

“You’ll regret it if you don’t go on this date,” she said and you knew she was right. You’d only wake up in the morning and scold yourself for not even trying.

As she opened the door, you were met with Harry, dressed in a black tuxedo. It was jazzed up with some pink floral embroidery and it certainly looked more expensive than what you could earn in 10 years. He grinned, “Good evening, Flo.”

“You alright, Harry?” she smirked, her eyes fluttering between your nervous self and the man stood on her doorstep.

“Good, thanks. Do you mind if I steal Y/N away for the evening?”

“Only if you promise to bring them back before midnight,” she joked.

“Of course,” he nodded, smiling. “You coming?”

You nodded, looking back to see Florence’s supportive smile. You followed Harry into his car and, before you knew it, you were on your way to some fancy restaurant he’d booked. In you went, sat down at your table, studied the menu and ordered your selected food. It was only then, as the waiter walked away, that the conversation really started up. Naturally, the conversation prior had just been small talk about what the two of you were thinking about ordering.

Amazingly, and almost to your surprise, the conversation flowed nicely, unlike all of the ones you’d shared at work. You wanted to talk about favourite novels and guilty pleasures and pet peeves and bad habits and embarrassing childhood stories with him. As he sat opposite you, chatting away. You couldn’t help but study his face and the way his eyes never wavered from you. You watched his hand as it reached across to grab your wine glass and pour you a glass of the upscale red wine. Unsure exactly where it all went wrong, you ended up with the staining wine seeping through your white shirt. “Shit, shit, shit. Shit, I’m so sorry, Y/N,” he quickly stood, rubbing one of the napkins across the stain. You almost felt bad for ruining the napkin at how opulent it looked.

“It’s okay,” you assured him, grabbing his hand to move it away from your torso. A couple of people turned to look at the pair of you, whispering amongst themselves. He sent you an apologetic glance, dropping the wine-stained napkin onto the table. This only further ruined the cloth that coated the table. “Maybe we should leave?” you offered, not feeling up to sitting in a stained shirt for a couple of hours.

He nodded, sighing, frustrated, “Right, yeah. Of course. Do you want me to take you back to Florence’s?”

You didn’t want this night to end. It had been fun and Harry’s company was one you had a newfound appreciation for. “Just away from everybody,” you whispered.

He nodded, his features brightened slightly. Taking your hand, he walked you out of the lavish restaurant. As the pair of you walked through the streets, illuminated in an orange glow as the sun sat atop the horizon, you knew there’d be pictures in the press the morning to follow. All headlined with something like ‘HARRY STYLES SPOTTED OUT WITH MYSTERY DATE’. They wouldn’t know who you are, half of your faces obscured by masks. But, then eventually, somebody would point out that it looked like you. And then that would get out of control, making all of the headlines for at least an hour look something like ‘HARRY STYLES AND LITTLE WOMEN COSTUME DESIGNER, Y/N Y/L/N OUT FOR EVENING DINNER’. You knew that; he knew that. Both of you knew the consequences of fleeing the restaurant and roaming the streets. Whatever the two of you had going on, whatever you might have in the future, would instantly become public knowledge.

But, in the moment, you didn’t care. You liked Harry, and you were enjoying yourself. So, do you know what, fuck whatever anybody thought. This was your life, you were going to do whatever you wanted with it. “I am really sorry,” he said quietly as you walked down the quiet streets together.

“Honestly, Harry, it’s okay,” you smiled. It was bold from you, of course it was, but you did it anyway, reaching over to squeeze his hand. He looked over at you, his eyebrows had been knitted together, but at the sight of your warm smile, they softened. Your face was coated in a soft layer of setting sun and, Harry would argue, it made you look ethereal and the most divine thing he’d ever laid his eyes upon. Oh, how he wanted to write so many songs about you. Even the Gods couldn’t compare to you in that moment, he thought. “I didn’t plan for this evening to go like this,” he said, his voice quiet and defeated.

“Well, I would hope not,” you replied, offering a crappy joke to hopefully lift his spirits. He did, in fact, crack a smile. Now, the two of you were alone. The sun was dipping below the silhouetted horizon and the evening, you feared, was drawing to somewhat of an end. “Harry,” you began, hoping to finally ask all of the little, insignificant things about his life.

“Yeah?” he replied, turning to glance at you.

And it felt as if you’d waited so long to simply ask, “What’s your favourite novel?”

I for one would love 2 hear ur thoughts on the hannibal novel 👀👀 - bloodybrahms ☺

ahhh thank you BB!! <3 I’m gonna throw it under a cut bc I know people aren’t gonna want my ramblings clogging up their dash lol.

Edit after I’ve written it: Holy shit this turned into a monster but tbf I did say I was going to rant. I think I miss writing college essays...

Also, I would like to note bc I’m about to bitch, I do still love Hannibal and Clarice and all of the franchise. Hell, I even love book Hannibal because I’m garbage and want to be special. So yeah. It’s a fond bitching.

Okay where to fuckin begin man... This novel was a fucking Shit Show, my dudes. It was like baby’s first fanfiction.

Let’s just jump in, shall we?

So by now, having read both Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs, I know Harris injects of lot of sexual shit into his novels, fine whatever, but the amount of pedophilia is insane. Like, Red Dragon with the grandmother threatening to cut his dick off by holding it in between scissors????? And then we have Mason Verger, worst human on the planet. Like jfc I’ll go into him specifically more later but just. Men. Why does it always have to be sexual.

Like that time Clarice wasn’t wearing a bra and she wanted to prove to Paul Krendler she wasn’t wearing a wire so she flashed him her tits?? Unnecessary, Harris. Bullshit on all counts.

Next, poor Ardelia Mapp. So he clearly wrote out her accent in Silence, which frankly reads racist since to me it seemed like he did it every time a character of color was met but he didn’t for Clarice’s Southern accent except for this book when she was talking to Ardelia. Now, that’d be a cool way to show how close they are, sure, but it just... She didn’t show up enough to warrant that reaction from me, plus all the other casually racist shit he throws in.

Ardelia’s literally there as the wise Black best friend to help Clarice along. She doesn’t feel like her own character, she’s only there in conjunction with her, or doing something for her. She was the fucking valedictorian for Christ fucking sake, she also works at the Bureau but if her department was mentioned it was only once in passing. She was not a full character which fucking blows because she could’ve been so cool.

And real quick before I forget, I hate how she’s treated in the end. I do like she gets a reference and that brainwashed Clarice sent her an emerald ring and a note saying she was okay, but Ardelia was abandoned by her best friend (that she had lived with) with not even a phone call and they will never see each other again and I think Ardelia knows it. It sucks and I’m heartbroken for this woman.

I’m gonna touch a little bit on the racism too. Now I’m white and not the most qualified to talk about this shit, but I do wanna mention it because it makes me mad. There’s just so many unnecessary slurs, any POC is more of a background helper character to Clarice than anything or a foil.

For example, Evelda Drumgo. She starts us off. Badass Black woman who runs a drug cartel. She chooses to shoot at Clarice and risk her baby’s life, and we have Clarice wash the baby off and save his life. Then Evelda’s mother is written as irrational when she slaps Clarice for visiting the baby in the hospital; I get Clarice’s impulse, but that woman just lost her daughter because Clarice killed her. I would’ve slapped Clarice too, even if it was a totally justifiable shot.

The baby himself is used as a foil throughout other parts, most notably to me when Clarice goes to visit Mason the first time. There are two Black boys from a foster home playing in a room with a camera so Mason can watch them, and it shakes Clarice up a lil bit because of the baby, but it says she’s getting more used to it.

Now this is half and half well written and shoddy to me. It’d be a cool moment, if the whole incident wasn’t nearly completely forgotten for the rest of the book shortly afterword. It could show growth, if Clarice had any growth to show.

And then the Romani people who are literally just used and thrown away. Sickening. Also very broadly used the stereotypes we hear which Sucks; the three we meet in any sort of depth are pickpockets, one was already in jail and Pazzi used his leverage as a police officer to get her to do what he wanted and threatened to have her baby taken away from her permanently, like it was just bad. And then the man got killed. Pazzi let him bleed out. Asshole.

The slurs. I could take out all of them and pretty much have the same damn thing. Like I get showing negative aspects of characters and just because a character’s racist doesn’t mean the author is, but with the characters already being as shitty as they are, fully didn’t need it to make them worse. Entirely unnecessary. Racism or the character being racist has no impact on the plot is the major thing, I think. And you can replace that with anything along those lines, like sexist, homophobic, transphobic. It didn’t impact the plot, they can still be shitty, you just don’t need to use them.

This also goes in reference to Margot being a lesbian. And the transphobia holy shit, it was disgusting. Harris had Clarice think something so cruel and unnecessary it’s like my guy why was that even remotely something we needed to hear. We didn’t. I wanted to stop reading because that’s not my Clarice, first and foremost, and second, this is supposed to be the character we LIKE. And now I don’t like ANYBODY in this damn book.

And he treats Margot like shit too, and Barney.

Their friendship was beautiful and great and finally for once something nice was happening in Margot’s life and I was happy reading it, and then FOR SOME REASON Margot goes to shower in the same room as Barney after a workout, which makes no sense, and then Barney tries to force a kiss on her (and he was hard, Harris made that very clear) and she had been sexually assaulted by Mason her brother and ruin the whole damn thing and none of it would have changed any other piece of the novel if you removed it!!!!!!!!! Entirely unnecessary!!!!!! And Barney had the gall to say well I couldn’t help myself like none of that was realistic in the slightest, she never would have went in the same room to shower with him.

Something you need to do is basically get some suspension of disbelief from your reader and maintain and stretch that as you go, right? Well mine was gone at that moment.

Also side note Margot is basically just there to show how shitty Mason is for the umpteenth time. Her whole thing is lesbian sexual assault victim.

Also heavily implied she was a lesbian because of the sexual assault. And we rarely see Judy, her girlfriend, so. Bad. Bad all around.

Circling back around to Clarice and how disappointing she is in the books as compared to the movies. Well, Clarice is also a poorly written character. She’s 1000x better in the movie. Hell, she’s even better in this book than she was in Silence, but that’s not fucking hard.

Pretty much all the characters are so flat they don’t even classify as two dimensional.

Like sure, maybe we wanna say Clarice didn’t really solve much in the first book and was just handed everything because she was a trainee and that’s what Hannibal wanted.

Like if you remember the John Mulaney sketch of Delta Airlines where he’s just going “Okay!” and running to the next place he’s told, that’s Clarice.

Okay so why does she get goaded into all this shit now? She should know better. She should know how to handle herself better. Like she messes up basic fucking shit like clearing a room before untying Hannibal, which was stupid, she seems oblivious to some of the politics at work even though she’s been in the FBI for like 7 years now, she would at least have more fucking contacts than Brigham who died in the beginning and Jack Crawford who died at the end by rolling over in his bed to his dead wife’s side and Ardelia who would be near the same level as Clarice I guess but I still don’t know her damn department???? Like you fucking network.

Plus after her final fall from grace with the FBI, we meet or are told of random side characters that go no where and do nothing just to say “hey look at my special little girl, everyone likes her and looks up to her!!” Why? Because she caught Buffalo Bill 7 years ago and then never got a promotion or even worked with the BAU? Again, it does not make sense. People may pity her? But a random girl in the lab wouldn’t be fangirling. Starling herself said her career had gone nowhere because of the politics and not sleeping with Paul. You need to show me why she’s likable in her actions not others words.

We spend more time away from her than with her anyways but Jesus.

AND HER IN THE ENDING. She was fucking BRAINWASHED????? Bull FUCKING SHIT. He completely ruined anything he even remotely might’ve had in this cluster fuck of a novel.

Case in point, difference from the movie, Hannibal spends weeks (possibly? it’s left purposefully vague and I’m guessing that’s because Harris didn’t know the ins and outs and wanted his novel done) meticulously brainwashing Clarice, he had stolen her father’s bones and she’s so far gone at that point she doesn’t care, and the whole scene where Paul is getting his brain eaten? Yeah, she happily indulges and when he insults her, she asks Hannibal for more. Fuck you, Thomas Harris.

And Hannibal’s a Gary Stu, fucking fight me.

In the movie he either is or he’s tap dancing on that line, don’t get me wrong, but in the novels it’s insufferable because it doesn’t seem earned. The pigs didn’t attack him because they didn’t smell fear on him. No. He’s easily able to drug and brainwash Clarice and take her as his lover. No. Go away. He’s so smart and one step ahead and can manipulate anyone and everyone into doing what he wants and blah blah blah shut up! A character being perfect isn’t interesting even if he’s evil!! We all know he’s never truly in danger because of how Harris writes him and that’s boring!!

And I personally have a pet peeve where the villain is described as a monster or unstoppable. That’s boring and I no longer care about your story. I know 9 times out of 10 your main character is going to find a bullshit way around the impossible and kill it. Or it’s just like a default personality and nothing else is added to it. And that’s Hannibal.

I’m on Hannibal Rising now and, spoiler alert, he’s very bland as a character. (Also Harris switched some details in the novel which kinda annoys me like get your own canon right my man but whatever.) The plot itself is pretty fun? I guess? Like there’s action and stuff and I’m enjoying that. But it’s the same set up where Harris’s Gary Stu always wins, like he was 13 in the book when he killed the butcher. Let. Your. Characters. Lose.

Also even more racist shit but what did I expect really.

Anyways, I have no idea who I’m supposed to root for in the novel because all the characters are just kinda shitty. It really just boils down to Harris not showing any redeeming qualities or actions from any of his characters. I liked Margot for a while out of spite but she never really went anywhere and the way she killed Mason (btw she sodomized him with a cattle prod to get his semen bc side plot and then stuffed his Moray eel down his throat and somehow I still don’t think that’s the worst part of the novel) just. No thanks really.

All the random little side plots were also pretty not great. How many time does Harris have to say Pazzi of the Pazzis? Like I fucking get what you’re going for, even if I hadn’t watched the movie I’d be like, “Oh this dude’s gonna get hung outta that window, dope,” the literal first time. Stop treating your readers like idiots.

And then Margot’s side plot was that the will their father left said she needed a biological heir to inherit because he was pissed she’s gay and we needed the homophobia I guess, so Mason got everything, and she was helping him with the Hannibal shit because he’s pretty incapacitated duh, and in return he would give her his jizz so Judy could be artificially inseminated and they could have a child and get some of her inheritance. I don’t care. It was all very gross, and Mason kept saying shit like suck me off you’ve done it before, I won’t be able to feel it anyway, maybe Judy’ll suck me off you think she’d like that. It’s all gross.

And I guess this is a good a time as any to finally start on Mason. So a great rule of writing to make everything work better and give your story more depth is to give everyone both positive and negative traits right, even and especially the bad guys? Like, rules can always be broken if you’re a good enough writer, but I believe I have established that Harris isn’t quite there yet, to put it nicer than I have.

Mason is one bad trait after another. It’s like when Harris was bored of constantly writing about plain ole pedophilia, he threw a dart at a board of horrible things and landed on topics such as: pedophilia but make it incest, extreme sadism, sadism but against children now, and good old fashioned racism! Fucking Cordell was supposed to collect the children’s tears after Mason would make them cry and put them in martinis for him. Realism went out the goddamn door real fast with this novel y’all. Like a fucking Scooby Doo villain over here.

And he loves talking about being a sadistic pedophile, he will literally not shut up about it to Clarice when she first gets there telling her about his trip to Africa and this portable guillotine he has and just. I get it was probably like trying to make her uncomfortable on purpose because he’s a Freak, but it went way too far if only because it was annoying, not even uncomfortable for me as a reader. I was bored real quick. Get to the shit I actually wanna know.

And it sucks because of the weird, over-the-top way of how he died, I got zero satisfaction from his death. I couldn’t even be like, “Well at least Margot got her revenge,” because that’s not how she originally wanted to kill him!!! She wanted someone else to extract his semen for the insemination but couldn’t find anybody to do it for her, and then Hannibal, whilst tied up, said use a cattle prod and you won’t have to touch him and when you kill him you can blame it on me, and I’m pretty sure even if she hit his prostate right every time and he COULD cum from that alone in addition to how his body is Fucked Up now, it would’ve been a lengthy, gross, and re-traumatizing experience for her because all she wanted to do was avoid seeing and touching her brother’s private parts again, which I think is a totally fair and rational desire.

So I have to live with the fact that she was desperate enough to not lose the house and business because of her homophobic father to go through her childhood trauma again. There’s no place in this book that has a somewhat positive conclusion.

Even the very last bit where Barney has a girlfriend and a ton of cash from Margot, all he wants to do is see every Vermeer in the world right? Well, because Hannibal and Clarice are in Buenos Aires where one of them is on display, Barney gets spooked and has him and his girlfriend leave before he can see it and it ends that bit with he never got to see it ever so he didn’t even complete his dream!!!

Also for good measure, Harris throws in that Hannibal and Clarice enjoy having sex regularly. For no reason. Just letting us know.

I know this seemed like just a bitch fest, because it was, but I kinda sorta enjoyed it? It kept my attention at the very least. It’s really disappointing because like I said, I love the movies, all of them, and have since I was little. To see the original not stand up to that image in my mind is a little heartbreaking. Especially Clarice. She was a strong female role model to me, but turns out she’s... just kinda there. And her ending is that of her no longer being herself and getting that agency taken away from her.

There is a reference to her waking up from a sleep, if she is asleep (that’s kind of how he worded it), that kinda let us draw our conclusions on whether she was just brainwashed into being good for him or if she was willingly going along with this and was in love with him I guess and it felt like a slap in the face. She turned from a hardworking, modest country girl working her way up to the FBI into a female Hannibal. Which on the surface sounds kinda cool because we love luxe serial killers, but that’s not what she wanted or who she was set up to be. And to insinuate that she would even remotely consider choosing that path for herself is at its best an insult to her and at its worst a complete erasure of her background, what little character Harris did set up. It also completely erases my own connections to her, as a girl from a small town myself who has bigger dreams than this and also... a good, strong set of morals. He just tossed that out the window.

Obviously if you’re on this blog, you like slasher x reader shit, and this is a novel with a slasher x a person, right? So why am I so mad about it? Because the whole point of this blog and reader insert fanfiction in general is that you are taken as you are and loved wholly as yourself and that you are worthy of that love (in a fictional setting, not really loving people who are like this, which I think we understand but I want to clarify). She was not taken as she was. He is not in love with her, she is not in love with him. She was transformed into what he wanted out of her. He couldn’t get her to be Mischa, his first plan, so he made her like himself. And the fact that he was so easily able to do it makes me upset, and even more so is that it’s not written like it’s weird or wrong. It’s written like they’re in love and this is a good thing.

He may have been going for the classic “everyone is capable of doing bad things” stuff we see a lot, but we got that from Margot already. And Barney, for stealing Lecter’s stuff and selling it. And Paul, and the entire FBI for turning on Clarice, and the kidnappers, and Pazzi, and random shitty side characters. And none of it was particularly well written or made some sort of strong statement. It just was. And that’s not a good enough basis for a novel.

Anyways, if you made it this far holy shit you’re a saint and I love you, let’s be friends?? <3 Have a good day y’all, thank you BB for giving me permission to ramble.

#bloodybrahms #ask #no joke i spent like 5-6 hours total writing this i had a Lot to say

maria watches friday night lights (#4)

season 2, pt 2!! (2x08-2x15)

ugh Matt is really having his Being A Stupid Teenage Boy season huh?

-lol love a good naked dude being chased scene — in this case, Smash on his recruiting trip being chased around by a potential future teammate. Classic.

(it’s kinda cute that Matt came to pick him up tho)

- the latest in season 2 being off the fucking rails: really? Riggins’ new digs include a meth lab on wheels??

-Landry confessing to murdering someone and then having his sheriff dad drag him out of the station to go home is the whitest shit EVER. Like, Landry is literally *trying* to be punished and they just won’t punish his white, cop-kid ass. ‘Murica. (I mean don’t get me wrong: it WAS self defense against someone literally stalking and trying to rape Tyra, but the point still stands that if Landry was a black kid he’d have been tried as an adult and convicted no doubt)

-YESSSSS a MySpace shoutout! we love to see it

“I hate you” - Santiago (and also me) @ Buddy Garrity

-omg Coach Taylor noticing that things aren’t good at home for Riggins and taking him in, my heart!

-Wow in just one scene Riggins charmed baby Grace, warned Tami’s sister not to shame women for eating a lot (“it can lead to anorexia, especially in girls”) and then offered to go out to the store to get baby formula in the pouring rain. What a man.

-and yes, Shelly, you fully grown woman, it IS a bad idea to lust after a TEENAGE BOY

-wow Riggins protecting Julie from the SUPER DRAMATIC TORNADO that made me laugh. Do we get to have a Riggins-Julie friendship??? bc I’d be down. We need more friendships.

-Thank you, Tami, saying “EW” to her sister watching Riggins work out! Someone has sense to know a fully grown woman shouldn’t be lusting after a teenager! Julie can lust if she wants tho, that’s age appropriate.

-DYING at Landry being aghast that Tyra’s never heard of West Side Story.

-oh god, Lyla — it is totally fair to assume your mom would tell your dad she’s getting remarried, especially if she knew you’d be seeing him — so I’m sorry you’re the one who accidentally set off whatever nonsense Buddy is gonna pull now that he knows his ex wife is “marrying that treehugger.”

“Who’s that?” “Some douchebag named Chip. who names their kid Chip anyway?” Same, Tyra, same.

-Landry, one of my biggest pet peeves is asking someone out while they’re on the clock. Like, come on! let Tyra work, boy.

-Jesus Christ it’s like everywhere Julie looks, she has to see Matt making out with someone. That’s rough.

-and oop Matt you busted bc Julie actually knows who Carlotta is!

-once a cheater, always a cheater, Buddy. And yes to Pam for being like “nah bye I’m happy now, it is over.” You treated her like garbage so here we are, sir!

-hilarious that Landry is the one who ends up throwing the first punch that gets the post-tornado, school-crossover tensions to finally boil over

-I like that they show both the fall formal and the party where everyone who didn’t go to the formal is. Nice.

-Aw poor Julie got drunk af to deal with all her feelings. This really is the season where they have Julie and Matt being sixteen year olds in the most painful ways. So maybe it’s good they’re not together during this tho I’m still looking forward to when the tide turns their way again.

-anyway, Tim is a good friend for getting the creep who thought he was “one beer away from getting laid” off of Julie.

-And....in true Texas dad fashion, Eric Taylor misinterprets everything! Noooo. We can’t have nice things.

-This Noelle-Smash partnership is definitely an interesting pairing. Two very ambitious football people courting all these recruiters while Smash’s mom side eyes them in the corner? Hilarious.

-omg not this Oklahoma tech recruiter harassing smash’s mom in the grocery store! GTFO here! Give her some fucking personal space. They really do such a good job of showing as much of the toxic shit about football culture as the inspiring, big moments.

-Aw and I love that Tami tried to help Mama Smash get the guy to go away. It’s such a familiar scene, women helping each other get a dude harassing them away. And then they have a heart to heart in the parking lot? Love that.

-omg what a throwback that Shelly TAPED OVER Eric’s football game to tape a NEW EPISODE of The Office! Love it. “Y’all should get a TiVo.”

-omg watching Tami and Eric work out arguments is so beautiful, they communicate very well! We stan a good marriage.

-wow seeing the other coach from tornado school lose his shit publicly after he knocked down Riggins was uh....wild???? This is the second time he put his hands on Riggins!

-awww Eric actually coming to apologize to riggins for overreacting about Julie when he hears the real story??? Love it.

-Weevil from Veronica Mars shows up as a friend of Santiago’s? Of course.

-WOW and Logan from Gilmore girls as a Christian radio host...tracks.

“Is that your way of telling her you like her?” Jason making a surprisingly astute observation about Tim. (And Lyla.)

-yo why would you invite your daughter’s boyfriend’s family over for dinner just to say they shouldn’t date? (And bc it’s an interracial relationship.) Southern culture is wild to me lol

-wow the racist coach from last season is now off spouting his mouth about how “no wife of mine would be working with a kid at home.” I love that Eric calls him out as sounding stupid and ignorant — you better!

-hearing that Lyla burned her cheerleading uniform is one of the most badass things she’s done so far tbh along with that dealership destruction

-off the rails update: 2x12 was toooo much!! Like, Jesus between Smash’s sister getting harassed at the movie theater by the racists who hate on smash and Noelle...and this plotline with Santiago and his old friends trashing Buddy’s place...it’s like, can we breathe.

-I could not be more excited for Carlotta to leave and another teenage boy with adult woman relationship to end.

-wow can’t believe the plotline where Riggins stole $3000 from a drug dealer isn’t ending well for him. And now Smash is getting arrested bc of those racist guys from the movie theater episode? One recap I read said that too many of this season’s plots feel contrived and I think that sums it up.

-is there any character who HASN’T worked at Buddy Garrity’s dealership at this point?!

-and yikes at all the other salespeople being mad that a salesperson in a wheelchair was hired...y’all mad ugly and ableist for that

-Tyra and Landry are....confusing

-Wait Logan from GG is an actual preacher and not just a Christian radio host? CREEPY. And he kissed Lyla? A lot to unpack there.

-lol Tim trying to woo Lyla is kinda funny to watch simply bc Tim is clearly so confounded by rejection

-I love how much space they give for Smash’s sister’s pain in the Noelle-Smash theater incident. A lesser show wouldn’t have centered her as much.

-is it mean of me to say Jason is boring AF most of the time

-yeah this dreads girl is seemingly way more compatible with Landry than Tyra yikes! Like she made him a power metal mix cd???

-wow this Smash storyline where mouthing off to the press is what gets him suspended....really checks out bc teenage boys are dumb

-I love Tami as a volleyball coach and getting to see another sport! Also as someone who’s been on a losing team I know that feeling of finally winning a game!!! Go Dillon volleyball!!! (Am I maybe currently writing a Bughead fic based on my underdog field hockey experiences? ;) yes yes I am)

-Oh shit now Saracen’s at the nihilistic Nothing Matters phase of teenage angst. Right on schedule!

-lol these two short haired blondes (white dreads Jean and Tyra) being in a love triangle with Landry is wild

-Omg jean just said, “are you a friend or are you competition?” She is not playing!

-I love Riggins dragging Saracen to practice

“I don’t want you to become at an at-risk youth” -Landry teasing Saracen while also sincerely caring about him is some of the best friendship banter on this show. The accuracy 😂

-It seems like Julie gets a lot of hate? But I think I have such a soft spot for Julie bc I was a bitchy teenager with undiagnosed mental health disorders and I just wish so much #growth for her! Also I really do miss her and Saracen’s relationship, I’m so excited I’m almost at S3 where it seems like it’s happening again?

-LOL this guy at the dmv is the first person in Dillon to be like, “no I hate football.” That tracks.

-wow Saracen is getting driven to the hospital to make sure his grandma is okay by the sex worker who was just giving him a lap dance. Amazing.

-also I hope grandma is okay!

-okay Tyra throwing her hat in the ring for Landry at the last minute? Idk I think Jean deserves the win but there’s no way it’ll happen bc she’s a guest actor?!

-awww Saracen’s abandonment issues coming out whiles he in the tub after being sobered up by Eric Taylor. “There’s nothing wrong with you.” 😭 and “your daughter left me for a better guy” - will take that crumb — first mention of Julie out of Saracen’s mouth in a minute

-hey, Landry, my friend: flirting with a girl (Jean) to get her outside then dumping her immediately is kind of a wild bait and switch. But I get it, he’s been in love with Tyra for a long time and Tyra IS right — they had a very fucked up start to their relationship so it makes sense she needed a minute to process her ~feelings~. however I definitely identified closer to a jean in my high school experience L O L (minus the unacceptable white dreads)

-these Julie and Tami driving scenes are painfully accurate, btw. Love them.

-wow the scene of Smash hyping everyone up, the adrenaline/energy of the team cheering with helmets and a classic “clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose” - then the whole team running out onto the field and leaving an empty locker room with just Smash breaking down into tears....#art

-alright y’all I’m gearing up for the last episode of S2! Thanks to @lockitin for reminding me this is the writers’ strike season — I was in eighth grade then and remember being pissedddd about the shortened fourth season of “the office” — so I’m fully prepared for the abruptness to come.

-I love when they parallel showing the white church and the black church

-and Tim going to church just to see Lyla makes me laugh

-ooooof Jason you cannot put on this waitress you had a one night stand with the fact that this could be your only chance to have a baby!!! Omg this poor woman who just pointed out she, too, is NINETEEN.

-wait so is Riggins doing a sports show on a Christian radio station? What?

“I think you’re really hot. Your long hair reminds me of Jesus” -Christian girls being horny for Riggins LOL

-awww Saracen being like “okay Landry you’re gonna impress Tyra right now” before that football play was a cute friendship moment for those two

-aww I love how this Smash storyline is turning out with Coach Deeks whose had his eye on him for six years my heart 😭

-also unclear to me whether Logan Huntzberger the Preacher is a fully grown adult dating a high school senior?? Biggest teen drama pet peeve once again! Stop this!

-Tami is my heroine for just leaving Eric at the restaurant fighting with her ex. “see you at home, honey!”

-I’m sorry, is Jason gonna like actually convince this girl to have a baby with her one night stand at 19??? Oh lol wait THAT ended up being the cliffhanger of the whole season? Fucking hilarious.

well I made it through season 2!!! Super psyched for Season 3, Jay has been hyping me up for it. See y’all next time! (I’ll try to post more for season 3 bc this accidentally got long af.)

95. Cold or hot?

Cold because that can = snuggles duh

96. Be a hero or be a villain?

Be a villain because I hate the attention (hero would probs get a lot of attention) and everyone hates me anyway lol

97. Sing everything you want to say or rhyme?

Probably sing everything considering I do that a lot anyway

98. Shapeshifting or controlling time?

Control time because I’d go back to the past a change some things then go back to today so I can still be with my boyfriend❤️

Video

youtube

Let me rant for a second, thank you.

If you ask me whether I like this video overall, no, I do not. Do I even like the song? Absolutely not, I can safely say that listening to it insulted my ears. This is literally the first time in my life I post something only because 2 particular scenes are included in it.

The first one was the one where Danila Kovalev pushes the singer away after she starts touching him suggestively and tries to kiss (him? Them? Them it is) and she ends up getting hit by a truck and dying on the spot. Why I liked this scene? First, because it shows how awful it is to assume one’s gender and orientation and try to touch them without permission. Second, because the whole concept behind the video is so awful that it calls for that finale. Especially the depictions of androgyny when it comes to females is so poor and stereotypic that the very embodiment of female androgyny who the singer was supposed to embody (the devil? TEMPTATION? Whereas Danila is “Jesus”? COME ON.) was so terrible that it deserved to be ended just like that. Female androgyns are not the “dominatrix” type, nor they are so goddamn fake to think that if they put a white shirt and a tie they are considered “androgynous”, while they still walk and behave in a disgustingly stereotypical female way. The same doesn’t go to the depiction of male androgyny, thankfully. I did not find any faults there, but then again... Kovalev is a NATURAL at it. Think about it. Non binary. Previously a hermaphrodite. How could they NOT nail the whole thing. They weren’t even acting, they were just being themselves.

The second scene which I liked was the final scene. Now, you might think it was a poor attempt at copying Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Last supper”, and you are most certainly right. But when I see this scene from an artistic perspective, I only see the future of gender, and it fills me with hope. Such an envigorating concept to consider, someone not being able to tell the difference between males and females. What a world of beauty, grace and equality would that be.

Also, let me reveal a pet peeve of mine.

Why do you hold wine glasses like that, you savages. It just defeats the purpose of the wine glass’ long stem, which is supposed to keep your hand away from the bowl containing the wine, to keep it cold, because wine is supposed to be drunk cold! And oh my devil, EVERYONE IS HOLDING THEIR WINE GLASSES THE WRONG WAY!

By te way, notice something? The karaf is supposed to contain water, though it pours out as wine. This is supposed to be the last supper, you people! One may argue that it is white wine turned into blood. THEN WHERE THE HECK IS THAT SCENE WITH PIECES OF FLESH LITTERING THE TABLE? If they had included a scene like that, Kovalev sitiing in the middle of that table surrounded by glasses filled with blood and pieces of raw meat it would be a 10/10 vibe, just for that. It would be the most Mysterio thing ever. And what do they do? They place a piece of orange in front of Danila instead. Cowardice.

@thenekromantik @just-a-kj-blog and @supreme-burrito your imput would be most welcome. Especially yours, love, because you are clearly the wine expert.

20 Questions - Writer Tag Game

Thanks @kennaxval and @boneandfur for tagging me!

Respond to the following writing questions and tag me in your response! I look forward to hearing your answers as I’ve always been curious about these!

1) When/what age did start writing?

Well, I suppose my first time trying to write something without someone telling me to was when I was nine. It was an autobiography. I was one vain nine-year-old.

2) What inspired you to start?

Writing in general, I suppose it was a bit of vanity, I want to create something bigger than myself someday, and I have no talent for plastic arts. Also because I’m a bit of a creative (and dramatic) person, writing serves as an outlet.

Now, writing Choices fanfics was mostly frustration. I’m a post-graduated Political Philosopher. All those slips on TRR grinded my nerves, so I wrote my first fanfiction to prove a point, that you can have an exciting plot while mantaining vraisemblance.

3) Where and when does inspiration usually strike you?

On the shower. It’s the only time of day I’m not thinking about anything.

4) Where and when do you usually write? Morning? Late at night? On the bus? In bed?

Just before I go to sleep. I don’t know why, it just happens. I write before bed, and then I queue whatever I wrote in the morning.

5) Do you listen to music while writing? If so, what genre/playlist?

Yeah. I have A LOT of CDs, 540 according to my latest count, so I just pick one at random and let it play.

6) Which category do you like best? Angst? Fluff? NSFW? Other?

I am the Queen of Angst, baby. If no-one cries, it was a bust.

7) Which category do you find most challenging to write?

Smut, which is funny, ‘cause I’m kind of a slut. I just have difficulty on transcribing the sexual feelings into words, to comunicate it properly. Oh, well...

8) If you had to pick your favorite Choices book, which one would it be and why?

D&D. I have my criticisms about it, but I am enjoying it the most. In fact, it has been a while since I liked a Choices book that much.

9) If your Choices LIs were real, which one (and only one) would you personally want to be with?

Liam. I would make him eat from the palm of my hand and then I’d be the ruthless ruler of a Balkan kingdom.

Judge me at will.

10) Do you share any physical characteristics with your Choices MCs? Pics/Selfies optional 😊

Well, I usually play them White, so I guess there’s that. I suppose I could make them look a little like me, I have pretty unremarkable facial traits, but I often make them to be the prettiest, not to look the most like me.

11) Which MC do you share the most personality traits with?

When they make a deadpan, bitter and snarky MC, that’ll be her. Though, it isn’t that conductive to romance novels.

12) Which Choices character do you feel you have the best grasp of in terms of personality?

Well, I am tempted to say none. When I started writing fanfiction, I made the conscious decision to write wretched characters, to show the worse in their personalities (read Queen of Angst above). PB does the exact opposite, they sugar-coat every flaw.

Besides, I admit some difficulty of mine to make my characters’ personalities consistent across my work.

That being said, I suppose one character I used often and that has kept some ressonance both within my universe and PB’s is Ernest.

13) What’s your favorite Choices pairing to write for?

I write stuff for all my favourite pairings, but my all-stars are Ernest and Susan, as Susan is an interesting character to play with and because D&D is hot right now and I get lots of notes, and Nathan and Emily, because, as I may have mentioned before, he reminds me of an ex-boyfriend of mine and that’s fun to twist.

14) What is a pairing(s) you hope to start writing for?

I’ve been considering to enter more vigorously in HSS. I think it has creative potential, but I’m waiting to see how Class Act will play out. I’ve also been considering doing something with PM, but I don’t really care for the universe set by PB, yet it would be too complex to dismiss it altogether.

15) What do you hope to improve in your writing?

I want to find the self-respect to review my own writing. I always find a ton of mistakes every time I read my own work, and yet I never find the energy to do it before I post.

16) Any pet peeves related to writing?

PARAGRAPHS!!!!!!!

For the love of Jesus Christ Our Saviour, for the Enlightment of Buddha, for the eternal conscience of the absence of a deity or whatever have you, paragraphs have freakin’ rules!

The most basic of them, five lines or less. Long paragraphs are exceptions, not the rule!

Also, why people jumble three plot points in one paragraph and then cut the fourth in the middle? Like, two characters have a heated discussion without a single line break in sight, and then, on a seemingly arbitrary moment, bam, line break. IT MAKES NO SENSE!

It’s just... ugh.

17) Are you inspired by any IRL experiences when you write? Care to share?

Usually, yeah. Like, every fanfiction has something, for Red Rose was my college life, for Confrontation series was mostly my own anedoctes, while Just Be Good To Me was heavily inspired on a friend of mine.

On the other hand, we have my D&D fics that are mostly make-believe.

18) Is there any particular piece of work you consider to be your ultimate writing goal? Something so amazing you hope one day you’ll be up to that standard?

I have horrible experiences with the Pantheon of Choices writers, so I refuse to grace them with my praise, due it may be.

That being said, I wish I could be a published writer someday. One can only dream.

19) Did/do you write for any other fandoms? If so which ones?

Only Choices and original. No other fandoms.

20) In your spare time (when you’re not writing) what other hobbies do you pursue?

Well, considering spare time as time I’m not writing, not on Tumblr and not working on something or another, I’m mostly sleeping...

Chapter Four

That was the start of my very weird friendship with Kit Harington.

We were always texting each other and even called each other every now and again. We talked about everything from acting and our respective jobs to politics and music. No topic was off the table.

I actually came to value his opinion and I sent him the video of my first vlog before I uploaded it online to get his thoughts on it.

It was a silly little video of me covered in cake and other food and then going through a car wash in order to get clean. I was on the phone with him while he watched and he was laughing so that was a good sign.

That actually became our ritual. Every time I shot a vlog, I would send it to Kit and get his opinion on it and he would always laugh! Whether it was a video of me just answering fan questions on twitter or me pouring washing powder into a fountain and playing with the bubbles, he always found what I did hilarious.

One week, when I couldn’t figure out what to do, I decided to get Kit in on the vlogging action. My plan was to interview him via skype and just ask him the most random and funny questions I could think of. To my surprise he actually agreed on the condition that I had to answer the questions as well.

So one morning while we were traveling in-between cities, I set up the video camera and my laptop and let rip.

“Ok everyone, so I was struggling for content this week so I decided that I would annoy a friend of mine. Say hello to Jon Snow himself, Kit Harington!” I said, gesturing to the laptop grandly.

“Hello.” Said Kit happily.

“Alright, so let’s get down to it, shall we Mr. Harington?” I asked as I got my phone, which had the list of questions I had complied.

“I’m slightly scared but alright.” He agreed.

“Question one: What would you do if you could be invisible for one whole day?”

“Ah…” he began.

“Remember, you have to be honest! There is no rating on these videos so you can be as perverse as you want.” I grinned.

He laughed, “I’d probably go snooping through a bunch of people’s rooms or hang out in a ladies change room.”

“Honest answer I like it.” I said, nodding, “I would probably just go and steal a bunch of stuff.”

“You’re so materialistic.” He commented.

“I’m poor is what I am.” I complained before I read out the next question, “Question two: what’s your favourite joke?”

“Oh it’s this really lame one. What’s the fastest cake in the world?” he asked me.

“I don’t know.

“Scone.”

I laughed.

“What’s your favourite joke?” he asked.

“You can’t ask a comedian what their favourite joke is! It’s like asking an actor their favourite movie.” I said pointedly.

“Easy, The Shining.” He said simply.

“Shut up! I’m asking the questions here.” I quipped.

He laughed.

“Question three: If you could be a woman for one day, what would you do in that time?”

“Oh god.” He said and he actually blushed, “Why are you asking me these things?” he asked.

“Hey, you agreed.” I said pointedly.

“I’d probably just play with my boobs all day.” He said simply.

“Well, at least your honest. I sometimes play with mine, just because I can.” I grinned.

He laughed loudly.

“Question four: What is the worst thing that somebody has walked in on you doing?” I asked.

“My mother. I was fourteen. You can guess what I was doing.” He grinned.

“For you at home, Kit was like any typical fourteen-year-old boy, he was doing his homework!” I said seriously as I stared at the camera.

He laughed again.

“Question five: what is the weirdest nickname people call you?”

“Kitten.”

“That’s cute!” I cooed, “Who calls you that?”

“My mum.”

“I’m sensing a theme here.”

He laughed.

“Question six: do you think you’re attractive?”

“No. I mean; people tell me I am but I just don’t see it.” He said simply.

“You mean you don’t just stare in the mirror at your pretty face sometimes and just think, damn I’m good looking?” I teased.

“No.” he grinned, “What about you? You haven’t answered the last few so you have to answer this one.”

“Do I think I’m attractive?”

He nodded.

“God no.” I dismissed immediately, that answer was obvious. He began to say something but I cut him off with asking the next question, “Question seven: can you list three words that describe yourself?”

“Why don’t I list three for you and you list three for me?” he asked.

“Good idea.” I said, “Ok, awkward. Perfectionist.” I listed.

“Those are kind of opposing aren’t they?”

“British.” I finished, “Your turn.”

“Funny.” He said immediately.

“I’m shocked.” I commented.

“Quick witted.” He added, “I know that’s two words but we can count it as one. And of course, Australian.”

I nodded, “Question eight: what would people hear if they could read your mind?”

“Complaining. Constant complaining. I never say anything but in my head I’m always complaining about stuff.” He said.

“So that’s why your always so pouty! You’re really just constantly dissatisfied with everything.” I joked.

He laughed.

“If people could hear my mind they would just hear a constant stream of bad jokes! Jokes that are just not funny. Hence why they are only ever said in my head.” I explained before I turned to my phone again, “Question nine: what’s your dumbest pet-peeve?”

“People biting their teeth together. I hate that sound.” He winced.

“What, this sound?” I asked as I proceeded to slam my teeth together so they made an audible sound.

“Urgh! Stop!” he complained.

I laughed loudly, “Mine is people talking in movies. I hate it.”

“Oh I hate that too.”

“Question ten: who is your celebrity crush and why?” I asked.

I didn’t expect this to be a question that would make him uncomfortable, but he suddenly blushed bright red and said, “I’m not answering that one.”

“What?” I complained, “Now you’ve got to! I’m curious.”

“Nope.” He said firmly.

I looked at the camera, “I’ll get it out of him later.”

He laughed nervously.

“Question eleven: what are you most afraid of?”

“Spiders or needles. Two-way tie.”

“I’m afraid of failure.”

“What?”

“I’m serious! All my life people have been telling me how hard it is to be a comedian and I’ve always feared that I would fail at it so that’s my biggest fear.” I explained.

“Well that was deep.” He commented.

“Yeah, we got a little serious there. Time to bring back in the fun with the next question. What is your biggest turn on?” I asked.

He laughed his signature uncomfortable laugh, “You can’t ask me that.”

“Well I just did.”

“Oh god.” He said as he ran his hand over his lips in contemplating.

“Is it something really weird? Do you have a sock puppet fetish?” I grinned.

He laughed, “No. Ah… can I say lingerie?” he asked.

“All guys love lingerie. Be original.” I commented.

“I can’t think of anything.”

“What? A guy can’t think of anything that turns him on?” I teased.

“Well what turns you on?” he demanded, turning the question around on me.

“A naked guy!” I said pointedly.

He laughed.

“Ok, question thirteen: what is your best talent?” I asked.

“I hate those kind of questions. I never know what to say because it will sound like I’m bragging.” He said.

“Well your pretty good at sword fighting.” I said pointedly.

“That’s true.” He agreed.

“Question fourteen: what was your most awkward sexual moment?”

“Oh Jesus, really?” he demanded, going red again.

“What?” I asked innocently, “Sex is funny when you think about it.”

“Not if you’re doing it right.” He defended.

At that I giggled.

“You go first.” He said.

“Well, a guy was trying to be all sexy by having fruit in bed and he dropped a strawberry on my white sheets and I made him get up so I could strip the bed and put the sheets in the wash. I was so worried about it staining that it really wasn’t that sexy.” I said pointedly.

Kit laughed so hard that it took him a few moments to recover, “Oh god, can I just say nearly being caught by my parents?”

“That will do.” I assured him, “question fifteen: what was your most embarrassing moment?”

“Previously mentioned.”

“Question sixteen: if you could commit any crime and get away with it, what would it be?” I asked.

“Oh I’d be a thief for sure!”

“Me too.” I agreed, “question seventeen: if you could see the future, what would you hope to see yourself doing in 5 years?”

“Hopefully still acting.” He said simply.

“I would hope to not be on a tour bus ever again!” I said dramatically as I stared at the camera.

He laughed.

“Question eighteen: what’s your perfect girl like?” I asked, before I batted my eyelids at him sweetly.

He laughed, “Well I’ve got to be able to talk to her. I’m actually quite chatty so I love talking to people. And a sense of humour is a huge bonus. I probably find that the most attractive thing about a girl.”

“Hear that ladies? Get out your joke books! Jon Snow likes humour!” I declared.

“What about you?”

“I’m the exact opposite to you, I like a serious guy. I’m always so silly that I like someone who can bring me back down to earth every once and a while.” I explained.

He nodded, seeming thoughtful.

“Question nineteen: what TV show character is most like you?” I asked before I chuckled, “I don’t know why I asked that one. It’s pretty obvious.”

“Next question.” He grinned.

“Question twenty: do you have any cool scars?” I asked.

“I do actually. I’ve got a lot on my hands from being hit with fake swords and stuff.” He said showing his hands to the laptop screen.

“I have a really weird one here.” I said pointing to the underside of my arm, “I stole my sisters Backstreet Boy C.D and she stabbed me with a nail file.” I explained.

“Over a C.D?” he demanded.

“It was the Backstreet Boys!” I defended.

He shook his head in amusement.

“Question twenty-one: do you think ghosts are real?”

“I don’t know. I’ve been to some pretty spooky places where I definitely thought there was something there, but I don’t know if I necessarily believe in ghosts.”

I nodded as I read out the next question, “Question twenty-two: what’s your favourite comedy movie?”

“Bridgette Mendez, the talk to the hand tour.” He said immediately.

“What?” I demanded turning to stare at the screen in shock, “You can’t say me!”

“That’s the truth.” He said simply.

“Your lying. I don’t believe you.” I dismissed.

“Believe what you want. That’s my answer.” He said simply.

“Well my favourite movie is anything involving Will Smith. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air was a really big comedic inspiration to me.” I said simply.

“Yeah, didn’t you say a while back that they were the reason you got into comedy?” he said, recalling our conversation from a few nights ago.

“I did indeed.” I said proudly, “Plus the Carlton dance is amazing.” I added.

He laughed.

“Question twenty-three: who is your funniest friend?”

“You.”

“Stop!” I laughed.

“What?” he asked innocently.

“Stop complimenting me! I don’t believe you!” I laughed.

“I don’t care. It’s the truth.” He grinned.

“You are friends with Andy Samburg, you think I’m funnier than he is?” I asked.

“Yes.”

“Oh ouch! I’m telling him that.”

He laughed.

“Question twenty-four: do you like being tickled?”

“Sure, why not.” He shrugged.

“I can’t stand it.”

“What? Why?”

“Because I’m always afraid I’ll wet myself or something!” I said honestly.

He laughed loudly.

“I love how honest you are.” He grinned.

“I have no filter.” I told him as I turned my attention to my phone, “question twenty-five: are you afraid of anything silly?”

“Yes. I am in constant fear of looking stupid.”

“Yeah, I don’t have that problem.” I grinned.

He laughed again.

“Question twenty-six: what’s your favourite pickup line?” I asked.

“One that I’ve used or that has been said to me?” he asked.

“One that’s been said to you.”

“I’m looking for a Stark in the streets but a Wildling in the sheets.” He grinned.

I burst out laughing, “Someone said that to you?”

“Yes.”

“Oh my god!” I laughed, “Oh I love people sometimes.”

It took me a few minutes to compose myself after that.

“Come on, best pick up like line a guy has used on you.” He encouraged.

“Best pick up line or my favourite because they are two different things.” I qualified, “One of them worked, one of them didn’t.”

“Tell me them both.”

“Ok, well one guy comes up to me, looking all shy and stuff and then he goes, ‘I’m not trying to impress you but, I’m Batman.’” I smiled.

Kit laughed.

“And another guy came up to me and he goes ‘Your daddy’s a thief! Because he stole the stars and put them in your eyes’.” I said, “I slept with one of them. I’m not saying who.” I grinned, winking at the camera theatrically.

“Oh my god, I’m pretty sure this is the funniest interview I’ve ever done.” Said Kit, still smiling.

“Oh well, I’m honoured.” I grinned before I turned to the camera, “Say good bye to the fans Kit!” I said as I waved at the camera.

“Bye!” he called.

…

Unsurprisingly my vlog with Kit became my most popular one.

What did surprise me however was how it actually went viral and was trending on twitter for a couple of days. I couldn’t believe it when the video got over one-million views. From that video, all the views on all my other vlogs suddenly went up until nearly all of them had close to one-million views. It was amazing!

I gained so many followers on twitter that my account was actually verified.

But with that video came the new wave of rumours that Kit and I were dating. I paid no attention to them. Anyone with the faintest bit of intelligence would know that such a thing was just a rumour.

It made no sense! Why would a guy like Kit, who had his pick of the ladies, ever be interested in a girl like me? Not just because he was a well-known actress and I was a comedian living on a tour bus, but because of the physical reasons as well.

I’d meant what I said when Kit had asked if I thought I was beautiful; I wasn’t. My teeth were too big for my mouth, a fact that was made obvious whenever I smiled. My skin was a weird shade between pale and tanned, my brown hair was long and curly and I could never do anything with it, worst of all was my bushy eyebrows; I’d tried having them shaped but it had hurt too much and I had never gone back! Instead letting them grow so they looked like thick caterpillars above my eyes.

No, I was not good looking. And Kit most certainly was. Which meant any girl he was with would have to be drop dead gorgeous.

So I knew that girl would never be me.

…

With the two of us talking to each other so frequently and for increasingly longer amounts of time, the conversations naturally turned from light hearted and fun to more serious and personal topics.

“I sometimes worry about my career after Thrones.” He said one night.

“What do you mean?” I asked as I shifted in my bunk to a more comfortable position, it was late and night and we had been on the road all day.

“So far in my career I’ve been a little type cast as the brooding hero and I’m worried that I’m just going to be known as that guy you know? That I can only do one thing.” He said

“Well stop with your resting bitch face and smile a little more.” I joked.

He sighed and I could tell that this was something that was seriously weighing on his mind.

“Look, you want to have a long career, with that will come some variation. You just have to have one role that shows you doing something a little different and then the offers for other things will come pouring in. I guarantee it.” I assured him.

He sighed, seeming unconvinced.

“Look, it’s natural for you to have these feelings. This business is so fickle, a successful career in never guaranteed. If your only cast as one thing in order to make yourself successful, that’s the dice you have to roll. But if you want to have that variation in your career, you’ve got to take the gamble on yourself. Push for some different roles. You can only try.” I said seriously.

He was silent, so I decided to make a joke.

“Besides, with a face like yours, you could always go into modelling. Though your too short for runway. Sorry.” I joked.

He snorted in amusement, “Thanks Bridge.”

…

But the serious talk wasn’t just on his end it was on mine too.

I’d received a call from Carey earlier in the day where she did not ask about how my tour was going or even how my day was, she just told me that she had booked a modelling campaign with Burberry.

“She’s beautiful. I get it. She’s always been beautiful.” I sighed as I swung around in my make-up chair before the show, “Every time she walks into the room she’s the centre of attention. She just takes every opportunity she can to rub it in my face. I mean, that why I learnt to be funny, so I would have something to offer when I walked into a room.” I explained.

“What do you mean so you’d have something to offer? You have plenty to offer.” Kit argued.

“Yeah but I’m not beautiful like she is. I’m just not beautiful.” I said simply.

I wasn’t looking for a disagreement, it was a statement of something that I believed as fact. So I wasn’t prepared for Kit’s response: “I think you’re beautiful.”

For the questions: 6., 7., 22., 38., 39. 😊

Thanks for asking, @elizabethshark!

6: do you keep plants?

I have a little pot of (mint seeds) by my window I got from uni. But I don’t think they ever germinated at all. Might go dump the soil somewhere it might have the chance to grow; I don’t make the time to care for it properly. I’m awful.

7: do you name your plants?

N/A

22: are you a morning person?

Not really, no. Come to think of it, I’m not an any-time-of-day person; I’m always tired.

38: tell us about your pet peeves!

OH BOY. BUCKLE UP AND PUT SOME GOGGLES ON CUZ THIS IS GONNA BE A WILD, SALTY RIDE

Unnecessarily loud, sustained noises from any human activity. Talking/yelling (ESPECIALLY IN LIBRARIES), coughing (especially at night SHUT THE FUCK UP IM TRYINA SLEEP), stomping around with their heavy-ass steps (again, especially at night), children/babies screaming/crying, cars in general, drivers who feel the need to blast their music so everyone on the street can hear or modify their pipes (VROOOOMMMMM MORE LIKE FUCK YOU, YOU NASTY PIECES OF SHIT), construction/machinery

When people are late, or chronically late

Smokers

Overt, excessive PDA.

Slow walkers. But then again, this was more of a problem back home. Here, I have short-ass legs that can’t keep up with all you trees with your long strides. I’m jealous.

Inefficiency/incompetency. Of others and myself. Especially myself.

Personal space invasion and/or too much eye contact if I’m not close enough with the other person

People who don’t cover their coughs/sneezes. Okay sometimes maybe I slip up myself, but accidentally.

Being interrupted/talked over/not listened to. I’m literally a walking stereotype of the timid, socially inept Asian nerd with a speech impediment and I hate it.

Being assumed to not be fluent in English because of said speech impediment. No, fuck you, I’ve been speaking English since I was three; this is a personal problem, not a language one. Believe me, I’m even worse in my native tongue.

Reblog if/or posts. Especially if they’re guilt tripping users.

Super long posts and threads, especially untagged.

Top/bottom discourse

Fujoshi culture

Disrespectful RPS

Tunglr’s aggressive witch-hunting call-out culture. IT ACCOMPLISHES NOTHING PRODUCTIVE

Timblr’s recommended blogs/posts

Society’s obsession with children, babies, parenthood, pregnancy, fertility…everything having to to with reproduction. Especially layered with the patriarchy and dumb gender roles. Jesus fucking Christ.

Heteronormativity/amatonormativity

All forms of bigotry (I might do or say problematic shit myself, but I’m trying.)

Fandom misogyny/racism

Fans/the media bothering actors/creators with shipping questions/comments/fanart and like, really shoving it in their face. The media especially use the angle of like “oh wow look at these weird people”…that’s so uncomfortable. Stop. Have a little human decency.

HBO’s Game of Thrones, D&D, Cogman. F u c k y o u.

Ignorant show-only fans of that show. Yes, I’m a book snob. Don’t @ me. Or @ me if you want to vent with me.

Dumb decisions made in Didney’s live-action adaptations. Combined with their not doing 2D animation anymore. Uuuuuuggggggghhhhhhhhh

The Whites™ involved in live-action Mulan’s production. The entire point of Mulan. They missed it. “Girly martial arts extravaganza” what the FUCK. IF U REALLY WANT TO DO THIS Y DON’T U DO THIS RIGHT.

Foodshaming

Gender stereotypes

Gendered slurs

MRA fuckboys

Conservatives/rightwingers

Climate deniers and creationists

Big Oil/Coal

1% fat cats with no soul

Fascist fucks

Vanity PR projects that don’t solve or improve anything but only look good on the surface

Mistreatment of animals–intentional, unintentional, indirect, direct, immediate, delayed, whatever. All of it.

Littering

Hot weather

Having tits. Mine aren’t huge, but they still get in the way of everything >:(

Menstruation. So unnecessary and gross and painful. Don’t fucking try to tell me to accept it or learn to love it just because it’s “natural”, Sharon; my experience with it is Suffering.

Dealing with adult acne.

And some Choices ones: The Freshman’s endless drama, most of ROE’s dumb plot, and LoveHacks’ cringe-y “humor”.

CRAPPY INTERNET. WHAT AM I EVEN PAYING U FOR

I’m sure there’s more, but I think I’ve covered my biggest ones. Thanks for reading all the way through.

39: what color do you wear the most?

Dark green, black, and dark blue.

ANSWER ALL THE EVENS BWAHAHA

Jesus christ Taylor XD Nobody cares but here I go!!!!!!!

lol like how I tried to play it off cool but I’m actually super stoked rn

2: do you like the feeling of cold air on your cheeks on a wintery day?

Yes and no... for like the first day of winter when it’s all pretty and pristine but when it get’s to the point of ‘fuck me do i still have toes?’ I’m over it.

4: how do you take your coffee/tea?

I like my coffee with french vanilla creamer and lovingly call it my princess froofroo bullshit drink. On the tea side of things I like herbal without anything added becuase I feel like a fairy drinking flower water.

6: do you keep plants?

I love thinking I could, but the only plant I haven’t killed is the one that I keep in my papa’s sunroom where I’m never anywhere near it because everything I touch dies screaming.

8: what artistic medium do you use to express your feelings?

Is internal screaming a viable medium? I like to think I can write, but that’s still under investigation

10: do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach?

I’m all over the place, you can usual tell by my hair tho. Seeing as it sticks straight up on whichever side I sleep on.

12: what's your favorite planet?

Jupiter!! It has all those awesome moons that are v cool.

14: if you were to live with your best friend in an old flat in a big city, what would it look like?Hmmmmm, it’d probably be a homey mess of books, fandom knicknacks and random coffee mugs with random socks laying everywhere. (there may or may not be a smiley face painted on the wall that is outlined with bullets.. crazy night..)

16: what's your favorite pasta dish?

I’m very uncultured so spaghetti is how imma roll

18: tell us about something dumb/funny you did that has since gone down in history between you and your friends and is always brought up.

oh god, you mean every other moment I’m in their presence? My shining moment would probably be when I had a minor stroke after getting v excited about making cinnamon pancakes for @klskipper13 and I stuttered so bad I said “ Cinininamonon pancancancakes”

20: what's your favorite eye color?

Probably green!

22: are you a morning person?

HAHAHAHA. that’s cute

24: is there someone out there you would trust with every single one of your secrets?

Honestly I’m a pretty open person? I’ll tell anyone anything, especially if I think it’ll make them laugh.

26: what are the shoes you've had for forever and wear with every single outfit?

YOU MEAN THE ONES THAT JUST BROKE AND I’M STILL GRIEVING OVER. They’re brown combat boots that go to just under my knee with laces all the way up. I lovingly named them my Katniss boots, may they rest in peace.

28: sunrise or sunset?

I like the idea of sunrise. There’s just something about beginnings that make me all poetic and shit

30: think of it: have you ever been truly scared?

Yup, 100% when my friend and I got busted after drinking at her mormon grandmothers house. In retrospect, probably should have done it elsewhere.

32: tell us a story of something that happened to you after 3AM when you were with friends.

At my 13th bday party my friends and I were staying at a house on a golf course and we streaked nude up and down the 18th hole. Till this day I wonder if they had surveillance cameras.

34: tell us about the stuffed animal you kept as a kid. what is it called? what does it look like? do you still keep it?

It was a doe deer beanie baby named Whisper. She was that stuffed animal that went everywhere with me. At age 12 I lost her somewhere at my cousins house and am still sad about it till this day. She had one eye and a pink nail polish stain on her chest. Bonus story: my oldest friend @haleygalik had that same beanie baby and gave it to me since I was so upset about losing mine. I still have Whisper 2.0 till this day

36: which band's sound would fit your mood right now?Right now? Uuhh, I’m not sure tbh. I’m kinda feeling serene so something celticy. I’m also uncultured in music.

38: tell us about your pet peeves!

Dogs that beg when you try to eat. My dad passed that down to me. I will literally stare a dog straight in the eye and eat slowly. Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs more then humans, but that bothers me. I also get very twitchy when a computer desktop is just full of icons (yes I’m talking about you Tay.)

40: think of a piece of jewelry you own: what's it's story? does it have any meaning to you?

I have this wedding band set that I found when my great grandma jay passed away. I think it was her wedding rings, but I never knew for sure. I wish I knew their story more then anything.

42: do you have a favorite coffee shop? describe it!

There’s a shop that’s in our town called grump monkey. Its small and kinda modern themed but still comfy.

44: when was the last time you remember feeling completely serene and at peace with everything?Hmmm, probably when I was swimming in the ocean last November. The ocean is my home.

46: tell us the worst pun you can think of.

The fact that Barbara Dunkelman from Rooster Teeth is so bad at puns she gave herself the title Barbara Punkelman....

48: what was your biggest fear as a kid? is it the same today?

Being abducted by one of the aliens from Signs. Well duh.

50: what's an odd thing you collect?

Tbh I don’t collect anything really... but I do have a thing about small intricate boxes and bottles. I don’t usually keep them long tho. I move a lot.

52: what are your favorite memes of the year so far?

The only one I’ve noticed is the thing with the cowboy hat. I’m not the most observant

54: who's the last person you saw with a true look of sadness on their face?

I just saw a friend of my mom’s who’s brother passed away, that was rough.

56: what are some things you find endearing in people?

It is so great when people talk with their hands more and more as they get excited. The best story tellers look like they’re being pulled around by a drunk marionette person.

58: who's the wine mom and who's the vodka aunt in your group of friends? why?

@brigadepuppy is probably the wine mom, and @klskipper13 is the vodka aunt who doesnt really drink but has a bottle thats filled with water so people wont nag her to drink with them.

60: do you like poetry? what are some of your faves?

Robert Frost is my main bitch. His path diverging in a yellow wood will always be my fave. tho in english class we once read this poem about a lady who kept one of her lovers locked away in a hidden room and continued to sleep by the body even after the person died... to this day i cant find it anywhere. had something to do with roses. creepy as fuck but great.

62: do you drink juice in the morning? which kind?

Orange is the bomb!

64: what color is the sky where you are right now?

a black satin canvas speckled with the iridescence of millions of different cosmic lights

66: what would your ideal flower crown look like?

Oh! I really like colorful leaves and vines instead of flowers.

68: what's winter like where you live?

A mythic bitch. #upperleft

70: have you ever used a ouija board?

Fuck to the no. I like not being haunted thank you. Tho, I am 100% convinced a ghost named Tina haunts me. I’ve had flickering lights, random bangs, and things falling off shelfs happen every once in awhile. I’m surprisingly calm about it mostly.

72: are you a person who needs to note everything down or else you'll forget it?

Absolutely. Helps keep my mind clear too. If i write it down it’s not swirling around in my brain and distracting me. Once its tangible its easy to toss aside.

74: describe a good friend of yours without using their name or gendered pronouns.

I have only two friends

Friend 1: My lil Asian

Friend 2: Lil Bitch

76: is there anything you should be doing right now but aren't?

Oh for sure. I should be buying a ticket from Florida to New York, researching my trip to New Zealand, and double checking my bills are payed. HAHA NEXT QUESTION

78: are you in the minion hateclub or fanclub?

I’m a fanclub! I have a lot of love for people I’ve never met

80: what color are your bedroom walls? did you choose that color? if so, why?

White, sadly. I didn’t, like I said. I move a lot.

82: are/were you good in school?

100% was a fly on the wall. Put in minimum effort and left with a 3.5 GPA cuz our school system is a joke.

84: are you planning on getting tattoos? which ones?

Yas!~ I want to do my Harry Potter house with my friends and something to do with space/the ocean or mythical creatures

86: do you like concept albums? which ones?

Uh sure, I totally know what those are and they’re great...

88: are there any artistic movements you particularly enjoy?

The lil animatic videos people are doing for musicals! I love them so much!!! For example @galactibun and @raythrill do some really neat ones! (or at least I’m pretty sure they do??? I always see them blogging that style anyway)

90: talk about your one of you favorite cities.

Austin! Mainly because Rooster Teeth, but also it was such a vibrant place! I would like to live their someday.

92: are you a person who drowns their pasta in cheese or a person who barely sprinkles a pinch?

All the cheese. It’s cheese with a side of pasta. I love cheese.

94: who was the last person you know to have a birthday?

My Aunt Kelly!

96: do you install your computer updates really quickly or do you procrastinate on them a lot? 100% procrastinator. They take forever.

98: when's the last time you went hiking? did you enjoy it?

Way to long... uh probably last summer with a friends dog! Of course! Being outside is always cathartic

100: if you were presented with two buttons, one that allows you to go 5 years into the past, the other 5 years into the future, which one would you press? why?

I’d go into the past! I’d miss so much if I were to skip ahead that I’d feel anxious I think.

Here you all go, XD thanks Tay, I appreciate you booboo
