For FFWF, I'm sending a question bomb back to you, friend <3 Soooo how is it going along with breaking in that ship tag? Care to tell us about them, like what sort of characters they are and what their dynamic is?
Or if you would rather talk about your experience with rarepair ships in general I would be interested in that too <3
I'm so happy to get this ask! Heads-up: it might get long.
So I'm not breaking in a ship tag, what I said yesterday was that I was writing for a small ship and, as a reader, I had found no fics for some pairings I were looking for. Your ask might change that however, but I'll say more about this a little lower...
I can tell you about the small ship I'm writing for currently! I'm entering Know No Shame mode so here it is: it's Alan Grant/Billy Brennan from Jurassic Park 3.
Tumblr media
Yes, of all things. I'm the first who's surprised. This time around I'm seeing something in them that I want to explore. I think you of all my writer friends can appreciate a teacher/student dynamic best. They're two brilliant scientists (Billy has to be to be Grant's dig site manager) in the hot Montana badlands, they act sort of like a married couple in the movie (they're a package deal), Grant has a history of dating younger paleontologists and Billy is his very devoted easygoing assistant that acts as an intermediary for his misanthropic professor.
There's potential for: hero worship, We Shouldn't Do This™ angst, establishing a healthy relationship despite status and age gap, and I've never written a student character, especially one who has to finish a PhD after he's been traumatized by the animals he was studying, so that's interesting.
Like, the movie isn't much, but it gives me just enough to want to write a study of their relationship during and post-canon.
And now I realize that both fics I'm currently writing are about fixing an established relationship after a big falling-out (partly, at least). Well, well.
Now, for my experience of rarepairs. I mostly read (and write, so far) in big to huge fandoms and I'm generally into the main ship (which is why I see Billy/Alan as a rarepair, although you might think that with 181 fics, they're not in this category). But sometimes (often, actually) I get interested in a media that has a very small fandom and I happen to ship characters that very few people seem to be interested in.
When that happens, I end up reading as many fics about that ship as I can find, and I really make sure to kudo and comment to thank the author. Fandom is never more a community than when it comes to rarepairs.
As a writer, so far I'm enjoying the experience. I feel more free because virtually nobody is watching and I can really write the thing for me, and me only. That's such a pleasure! It's really just me and my notepad, that feels great. I feel like a kid!
And about breaking in a ship tag... One of the ships I failed to find fics for the other day is Juan Borgia/Christoforo Castanea, or really Juan Borgia/any man for the show Borgia. Christoforo in himself is a tiny and unimportant character, but I'm seeing some gay subtext around Juan Borgia, and I can't believe I'm the only one! There's something about the desperate way he kisses men on the mouth especially his brother that I want studied!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Your ask inspired me, and I now have a couple of interesting ideas to explore the character's possible homosexuality/bisexuality in a fic. That would include writing about him and Christoforo and him and his brother, so I would functionally be breaking in two ship tags: Juan Borgia/Christoforo Castanea and Juan Borgia/Cesare Borgia (because Juan is an ugly duckling but he deserves to be invited to the sibling fuckfest).
Thank you so much for asking me this, Nara, I loved talking about it. And thank you for the inspiration, I'm now going to let these ideas simmer. I love you <3

Aromantic Headcanons
Here’s a handful of characters that I eventually want to write fanfics exploring my aromantic headcanons for.
Ezekiel Jones - The Librarians Ezekiel is easily my favorite character on the show, which considering there’s also Cassandra who is canonically wlw that just goes to show what an impressive scene-stealing thief Ezekiel is.  All his best moments on the show are platonic - connecting with Cassandra over feeling untrustworthy, showing the lengths Ezekiel will go through in the time loop episode to keep his friends alive, the episode with the alternate time lines where everyone was in love with Eve except for Ezekiel who’d cared for her as the mother figure he’d desperately needed as a teenager... Basically, Ezekiel is aromantic and I .  The closest the show ever gets to a love story for him is a rather uncomfortable episode where a love potion (which they acknowledge is more of an obsession potion) affects everyone but Ezekiel.  Textually they say it’s because Ezekiel already cares about the person who made the potion, but all Ezekiel has to say on the matter is that he felt compassion for her when she was humiliated on a reality tv show.  (Which, compassion can be seen as a rather powerful type of love, so in that light the episode isn’t as bad as it otherwise could’ve been.)
Phryne Fisher - Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries Phryne Fisher is a Lady Detective in Australia who’d been a nurse during WW1.  The show itself is fiercely feminist and incredibly well written and I’m extremely excited that it’s getting a follow up movie next year.  Phryne herself is something of a thrill seeker, a big believer in justice and that the law isn’t always right, and beds whomever she pleases without needing a romantic entanglement to go with it.  Which, her being sexually active is never once treated as shameful.  Phryne does eventually wind up in a romantic relationship - third season - but that’s only after she and Jack developed a friendship and working relationship built on trust and mutual respect first.  (Jack clearly develops feelings for Phryne before she does for him and he never expects, or assumes, that she’s obligated to return his feelings.)  Because Jack’s basically the only character Phryne shows romantic interest in - platonic, sexual, and alterous attractions abound, but Jack’s the only real romantic interest she has during the show - I headcanon Phryne as being demi-romantic or grayromantic.  
Eliot Spencer - Leverage I headcanon Eliot as being aromantic allosexual.  He has a lot of sexual conquests mentioned throughout the show, is a charming flirt, and certainly knows how to be romantic when the occasion calls for it - or when Hardison and Nate are being inept and need help - but he never seems particularly interested in being in a romantic relationship himself.  He did nearly get married once, but he was apparently more invested in being a good soldier than a good fiance and that ended his relationship with her.  Ultimately his most important relationships in the show are with his teammates.  He’d sacrifice anything, and everything, for their well being and I tend to headcanon that while Parker/Hardison are together romantically (which is canon) they’re also Parker/Eliot/Hardison QPR wise.  He’s definitely not involved with them romantically, and probably not sexually either, but there’s an intimacy and mutual emotional support going on between the three of them that even with Sophie and Nate retired together its easy to imagine Parker, Eliot, and Hardison living out the rest of their lives together well beyond the end of the show.  (I mean, the three of them even run a pub/micro-brewery together.)
Velvet Crowe - Tales of Berseria I view Velvet as being an aro lesbian.  In the prologue, her three strongest relationships are with her little brother, her father-figure brother-in-law, and her best friend (another girl) whom she wants to always live near.  She teases her little brother about having a crush but can’t conceptualize the idea of having a love interest for herself.  She’s just so relatably aro in the prologue.  The rest of the game she shows zero romantic interest in anyone, though she sort of becomes a parental replacement to an abused child she sort of... kidnaps early on in the game.  She winds up in a sort of co-parenting situation over the kid with another female character and honestly the lesbian subtext writes itself as easily as the aromantic subtext.  
Sora - Kingdom Hearts I know canonically it’s Sora/Kairi.  But we see so little of her and her personality can change entirely based on the game. (KH1 and KH2 were at least recognizably the same character but KH3 Kairi’s personality seemed to have disappeared entirely.  She was The MacGuffin and Designated Damsel in Distress and that was about it.)  So it’s a lot easier for me to understand where Sora/Riku shippers are coming from than it is for me to figureout how Sora/Kairi works.  But, honestly?  Sora’s motivations are all about his platonic feelings.  The love he feels for his friends that connects their hearts together.  So my headcanon for Sora is that he’s aromantic and misunderstanding what his feelings for Kairi are.  Ideally I’d like to write a story about the three of them - Sora/Kairi/Riku - being in a QPR together and being badass Keyblade Masters.  But I’m a little burnt out on their arc after the mess that was KH3.  So I’m more likely to write more about my aromantic Ienzo headcanon (minor Kingdom Hearts character) than delve into what’s happening with those three.
Colette Brunel - Tales of Symphonia I’ve already written one story exploring my aroace headcanon for Colette, but I want to go back and expand on that further.  Maybe a story about Colette discussing her aromanticism with her grandmother, whom I headcanon as demi-romantic, or maybe Colette mending fences with Sheena, whom she had a falling out with in the previous story.  While Colette is the canon love interest for Lloyd - the main character of the game - the two of them have what feels like more of a sibling relationship and the game has a bit of a ‘choose your own adventure’ thing going on that allows scenes to change based on who Lloyd’s got the highest ‘relationship values’ with.  (I like pairing him with Zelos, so...)  So the canon relationship doesn’t really mean a whole lot when you’re playing and any romance seen in the game is lowkey enough that most of it can be interpreted platonically. Of course, i can always veer away from canon entirely and finally write that Jurassic Park fusion that’s been lingering in the back of my head where Colette and Lloyd are paleontologists and QPPs, Zelos is a weird chaostition, and the velociraptors are probably actually utahraptors.
Aziraphale and Crowley - Good Omens While I enjoy reading romantic pairings about these two, I personally see them as having an ongoing QPR.  Life post-apocalypse being more of them respecting each other’s boundaries, living apart because they need the space but spending their days together because they make each other happy, and just generally making all their important decisions together.  And maybe co-parenting Warlock some more because that’s the kid they’ve actually been god-parenting for all those years.  (I like the idea of Warlock and Adam deciding they’re brothers now too.)

Survey #274
“now i can hear the marching feet / they’re moving into the street”
What color was the last swimsuit you wore? I only have a black one. Is your dream job attainable? I mean define “dream job.” I’d ideally be a meerkat biologist if I was willing to live in Africa and could handle even mild heat, but I can’t/won’t do either of those, so it’s not obtainable to me. I’d also love to be a paleontologist if I could travel and handle heat once more, but again, I can’t. My only *attainable* dream job is being a photographer, which I am aiming for. I’d LIKE to focus on nature/wildlife photography, but that’s unlikely to be able to support me, so. Do you have to go to school or work tomorrow? N/A Have you slept for longer than usual today? Yes, but only because of my nightmares. I tend to take at least two (though sometimes one) hour-long naps during the day because if I wake up once during the night, as I usually do, I’m fucked because I’m very likely to have an intense nightmare. It seems like the medicine I’m on wears off with consciousness, I guess. I only allow myself to sleep an hour at daytime because my mother has noticed if I have a nightmare, it’s usually no earlier than one hour into sleep. Even then I still have them occasionally. Have you ever taken classes for a musical instrument? Recorder in elementary school was necessary for whatever stupid reason, and then I played the flute for years. Out of school, I took guitar lessons for a while. I got semi-decent (at best I could do the intro to “Crazy Train” at normal speed, I think), but it didn’t last because it was annoying/time-consuming to build up the calluses that make playing painless, I was really bad at overthinking where my fingers were, and I just wasn’t invested quite enough. I’ll tell you, it gave me mad respect for guitarists, that shit isn’t easy by any means. Have you ever been on vacation with someone other than your family? Yes, though it was brief. I was a kid (okay, pre-teen, w/e) still in my separation anxiety from Mom phase and it was literally because of me we had to go home. I still feel shitty about it, though no one seemed upset at me. How old do you think you’ll be when you move out on your own? Who the fuck even knows anymore. Do you have a job? If so, where do you work? If not, do you want one? No; N/A; yes ultimately but no at the current moment because I have to keep watch over Mom. If you wear make-up, which brand of foundation/powder do you use? N/A Would you call yourself a “people” person? Nope. What is one change you need to make in your life this month? Just one??? What’s been tugging on your heart lately? My PTSD plus self-image has been very, very bad. What is the last thing you did that made you feel guilty? Mom had to clean up my cat’s projectile vomit even though she’s supposed to stay away from this kinda stuff through chemo. I literally cannot fucking touch vomit, never mind what came out of him that night. I felt like absolute fucking shit and I still do because WOW I’m a great adult right!! Do you have any physical traits that are bothering you lately? Like, everything. What kind of dog is your favorite? I’m biased to beagles. What was the last thing you received in the mail? A book. What is the last thing you wrote? Like, physically? My signature at the doctor’s office. Do you still care about the person you first kissed? Way fucking more than I should. Do you require a lot of private time? Definitely more than most people. Do you have any songs currently stuck in your head? I haven’t listened to it in forever for ~reasons~, yet “The Mortician’s Daughter” is stuck in my head badly and really needs to fuck off. What was the last song you downloaded? I dunno, I went on a download binge a while back. Have you ever read a really funny book? I remember at least one. “Bite Me” by IDR-Who. Some vampire satire. Have you ever done something humiliating while drunk? Never reached the point of being drunk. How would you react if your celebrity crush came to your door? fuckin YIKES I am NOT attractive rn go away Has your mom/dad ever walked in on you kissing or anything more with someone? HAHA my mom has always had the decency to knock, not so much his mom a;lwkejrewoei but the answer’s still no. What electronics are in your room? (DVD player, CD player, etc) This laptop, my phone, a Nintendo DS, my iPod… Do you have a box anywhere with special items you'll to keep forever in it? Yes, actually. Grew up calling them “treasure boxes.” Do you have any pictures of yourself on your bedroom walls? Lol no, I’d definitely prefer to not see myself as much as I can. That sounds melodramatic, but I’m being serious. It either depresses me or makes me angry. Does your dad collect anything? The Cleveland Browns’ football team stuff, for one. Maybe Carolina Hurricane stuff, too? Idk. I don’t live with him and don’t go in his “man cave” at his house often ha ha. What's better, a desktop or laptop? Explain. A laptop. Portable; that’s all the explanation ya really need. Do your parents still hide chocolate eggs around on Easter for you? Nah. What do you typically do on Easter Day? We go to my sister’s house to watch the kids do their egg hunting and open their gifts, then we usually go to Ashley’s in-laws’ for dinner. Is there anyone you literally need to exist? Apparently not. Thought so. Never let yourself into that state of mind. What would you prefer to get from a guy/girl: flowers, a hand-written poem, a picture he drew of you or a nice night out? Oh, a hand-written poem would wreck me, yeesh. Or a drawing. But any would be very sweet. Do you remember why you made the last mistake you did? I don’t know the most recent mistake, but probably because I’m just in general a terrified person who second-guesses or overanalyzes everything. Did you check how many calories the last thing you ate had? Yes. I’m back on my calorie-counting obsession again. Are your nails long or short? Short, always. I can’t keep them long. What is your favorite kind of cookie? Just the ordinary chocolate chip is fine. What was the last compliment you received? I don’t know. Who will be the next person you kiss? I normally delete this question because the answer should be so obvious, but I feel like just pointing it out that no one fucking knows who they’re gonna kiss next. It’s a dangerous mindset. Don’t make assumptions about what you’ll have even tomorrow. Have you ever made your own icon? Yeah, on many sites. They’re just about always just edits, though, not truly original work. What color is your computer mouse? It’s black. Have you ever been sung to on your birthday in a restaurant? Yes. Do you like black olives? I don’t like olives period. Do you actually think there will be a zombie apocolypse? Personally, no. I do think it’s scientifically possible, we already see this in insects, but I just don’t imagine it happening to humans before we’re our own downfall. Do you like the person you’ve become over the past years? Fuck no. Have you ever gone to church just to get a significant other? … No…? Have you ever punched a wall out of complete anger? No, that shit is terrifying. Are you really ticklish? YES don’t fucking touch me. How do you decide what you're going to eat each day? I just follow what I’m craving that day. How are you similar to your siblings? Different? Compared to Ashley and Nicole at least, I can’t think of any real similarities off the top of my head. They’re intelligent, motivated, outgoing, successful, yada yada, then there’s me. What's your favorite type of non-fiction literature? Autobiographies by people I’m actually interested in. Do you believe in souls? Soulmates? Souls, absolutely. Soulmates, no. It’s fairytale ideation to think your soul has a perfect match with another, hate to break it to ya. Favorite soundtrack? BITCH don’t make me choose between Shadow of the Colossus and Silent Hill 2. Fucking masterpieces. Pianos or guitars? *shrugs* Depends on the music and my mood. Did an animal ever bite you? Never seriously. How many languages do you speak? Only English fluently. I’m poor at German by now. Wiggly worms or bumble bees? Worms gross me out, bees are Good Boys. Religion? I don’t really identify with any. I just believe there’s some form of ultimate intelligence and essences beyond just the body, and that’s all I even pretend to know. Fog, thunder, or rain? Fog gives me that Silent Hill Vibe *Italian kiss* What regret keeps coming back to haunt you daily? The way I treated Jason after the breakup. If you could cure yourself of one allergy, what would it be? Damn pollen. Do you know anyone else with your name? Yeah. What would you be most afraid of happening if you were to visit Africa? Viruses or botflies. Where are you tempted to move to sometimes? I very legitimately want to live in Canada by now, but I won’t because I’m not moving that far from family. Who seems like they have the perfect life? I try not to make that assumption of anyone. Do you ever take pictures of negative moments? Does taking pictures of roadkill count???? lmao probably Do you think it would be a good idea to post photos of negative moments as well as positive? Well… I guess it depends. Like ngl, the pictures some people share of them having panic attacks to just show how fucking real they are definitely touch you, as do those depicting poverty, etc., BUT I really do think there are limits and also differences in motivations. What time zone are you in? EST. Would you ever post a picture of yourself crying on social media? Wow, speaking of. No. ^Why or why not? I am an UGLY cry-er, my man. But I also just don’t want people to see that, and it’s definitely not on my mind to take a picture during a breakdown. What was the last thing you cried about? My life. Have you ever held a newborn baby? Yes. Do you know anyone who has twins? Yes. Where do you buy calendars from? I don’t. Do you shop at the dollar store often? Not *often*, but we’ll stop by for a snack or something sometimes. Are you following in the career path of any family members? No. Do you feel you missed out on a lot as a kid? I guess in some ways. Who was that best friend you ever had? Sara. What color is your laptop? Black. What are five careers you think you’d be good at? My work history has shown I can’t do shit right. Are you thriving in your life right now? lmao no one is in 2020. Who do you have moral support from? My family, doctor, and a few friends. Who encourages you to go after your dreams? The same as above. Do you have people in your family who want you dead? Wow, I hope not. Do you have a walk-in closet? No, but my room at the new house will. :’) Not that I need one, it’s just pretty cool. How do you feel about people like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos having so much power and control in the world? Do you believe that any one person should have so much power? Let’s be real, in our current world, money is power, and no one should have that much control of the world, especially if your intentions are bad. NOW I don’t know jack shit about any of those are far as morals go, but just saying. It’s dangerous. Has your anxiety alone ever prevented you from doing something you wanted to do? This is ACTUALLY the story of my fucking life. Do you enjoy reading stories and novels that are heavily stylistic, poetic, or unconventional or do you prefer your prose to follow a familiar grammatical structure? Okay, I LOVE those, like Johnny Got His Gun and The Handmaid’s Tale that’s kinda like, run-on writing. Just letting a train of thought go. Those are two of the most powerful books I’ve ever read and they’re both written in a unique fashion. Have you ever fallen for any sort of Internet-based hoax? (e.g., fake celeb death, satire news article…) I’m sure at some point, especially as a kid. Do you tend to read reviews before you watch a movie or read a book? What do you hope to get out of doing so? NO. I don’t wanna have any precognition. When you go to a concert, how far must you travel for the most usual venues you visit? Most are on the other end of the state, and NC is long, so. We’re lucky if they come to Raleigh. Do you rent movies frequently? I never do, really. What is your favorite thing to do outside? Take pictures or swim. What’s your favorite meal to cook? I don’t cook. What movie has been taken WAY too far, as far as sequels go? Oh, I’m sure there are some, but none immediately come to mind. I’m not that into movies. Do you refuse to eat certain foods because of what they look like? Yes. I am VERY poor at getting past how a food looks. What are you listening to? NSP’s cover of “Don’t Fear The Reaper.” It’s fuckin gorgeous. How much homework do you have tonight? N/A Are you wearing any bracelets? Yes; one that Sara got me as well as an ovarian cancer awareness one. What's physically wrong with you right now? JINKIES I just feel really lethargic like always. Do you take any medications daily? Ha ha thanks for actually reminding me I need to now. When was the last time you moved to a new house? Two years ago, and now we’ll be moving to a much better place by the end of this month/early September, finally. When it comes to relationships, are you the jealous type? Nah. Which gift cards do you have in your wallet? Idk actually. It’s not like I use it a lot. Can you remember the last time you felt ill? What was wrong with you? A few nights ago. I was extremely hot, dizzy, and pretty nauseated. I was fine, though. If you wear make-up, do you take it with you, to reapply throughout the day? Does your make-up stay for a long time after you first apply it, or do you find that you need to reapply often? Are you wearing any make-up atm? I pretty much never wear makeup so have never really had a reason to reapply it. I’m definitely not wearing any now. Does your kitchen have a theme? No. Do you like ice cream sandwiches? GIRL yes. Do you prefer earbuds or headphones? Earbuds. They’re more comfortable imo but more importantly block out exterior noise very well. Are you a fan of any independent films? ngl, I don’t know exactly what that is and I don’t feel like looking it up. Could you possibly write a successful novel? I very genuinely think some of the RP stories I’ve taken part in are novel-worthy, yes. I wanted to make them books when I was younger, but now I no longer do mainly because there are areas that are just way too fucking dark that I don’t wanna put out there but play massive parts in the stories, so like… Do you regularly watch the news? I never do. Facebook is my “news” source lmao. Who was the last person you video-chatted with? I don’t remember for sure, maybe some doctor? What do you want the theme of your wedding to be? I don’t really think about this, seeing as my mind has changed enough, and it also depends on what my partner wants, too. Have you ever been caught passing a note in class? Noooo, I absolutely hated passing notes because I was genuinely a good student. I only did so very, very rarely if another friend started it. Have you ever had dandruff? I have dandruff AND a dry scalp. It’s a wonderful mix. Have you ever gone through a phase of crushing on EVERYONE? Definitely not. Do you have any clothes with spikes/studs on them? I have a spiked choker, and I might still have gloves with studs? Can you remember what you last clapped for? My mom’s birthday! :’) Have you ever given a pet to someone else? Yes, with cats; we had to do that quite often when I was a kid because we had so many cats, none which we could afford to fix. Then we’ve done it with two dogs we just couldn’t handle. Oh yeah, I gave my iguana away too because he was too high maintenance for me, but also because he DESPERATELY needed a much bigger terrarium, which we couldn’t afford. I absolutely could not watch him in that tiny tank. I miss him a LOT, but he went to a wonderful home! The lady who adopted him sent me pictures upon pictures months after taking him in. Do you know anyone named Walter? No. What's your least favorite ice-cream flavor? Strawberry is fucking disgusting. And that’s coming from someone whose favorite fruit is strawberries. What's your least favorite song by your favorite artist? I’m not sure. There’s a handful that just don’t grab my attention that I don’t even remember them. What was the last good news you heard? I can FINALLY talk to my psychiatrist tomorrow. Who’s your favorite singer of all time? Probably Freddie Mercury. What airline do you fly most? Idk, I don’t really pay attention. I haven’t flown very often though anyway. Do you have a dog that is destructive? I don’t have a dog. What’s one TV series you’ve seen every episode of? Meerkat Manor is the most obvious, ha ha. Maaaaany times. Assuming you have Facebook, who last left you a wallpost? Probably my friend Sammi. Assuming you have hair, how are you wearing it today? It’s too short for me to “wear” it any particular way. It’s just… there lmao. Assuming you're not homeless, what kind of living arrangements do you have? I live with my mom in a house she’s renting. Have you or have you ever considered messing around with the same sex? I’m bisexual so you can guess I’m not opposed to it. Are you particular about any brands of food you will or will not eat? Are there any restaurants you refuse to go to? Brands, no. I don’t eat Chick-fil-a because they’re run by fucking homophobic bigots that monetarily support conversion therapy and other anti-LGBT projects. I’m not giving you any fucking money. What was the most current dream you can remember about? Do you generally dream every night, or hardly at all? It was actually last night, when I dreamed about accidentally running into Jason where I last knew he worked, and he was really hostile. If I don’t take my medicine, I always have nightmares when I sleep.

Weird 92 Question Thing. Not Important. Just Random.
Been tagged by a lot of random people and I’m taking a brief break from writing and totally being smart about not going to sleep yet with my 5:00 AM schedule starting tomorrow...
Anyway.
THE LAST:
1. Drink: Green tea.
2. Phone call: My therapist.
3. Text: A person who honestly shouldn’t be texting me.
4. Song you listened to: Too many songs to list here. I’ve created a playlist for NaNoWriMo that’s almost one hundred songs in length, so... that monster track. Instrumental, EDM, J-pop (usually theme songs from anime shows), classical, random remixes, film/game/television show tracks...
5. Time you cried: Today. Whoops.
HAVE YOU:
6. Dated someone twice: Yes.
7. Kissed someone and regretted it: Um. Somewhat.
8. Been cheated on: Yep.
9. Lost someone special: Everyone has.
10. Been depressed: Hasn’t everyone at some point...? Some worse than others, of course, but this is a pretty standard question.
11. Gotten drunk and thrown up: Never.
LIST 3 FAVORITE COLORS:
12-14: Navy blue, indigo, teal, burgundy, silver, coral. (Changes frequently).
IN THE LAST YEAR HAVE YOU:
15. Made new friends: I’ve made friendships this past year that have changed my life. Very humbled and kind of flabbergasted about it. Blows my mind.
16. Fallen out of love: Yes. 
17. Laughed until you cried: Not that I can remember, no.
18. Found out someone was talking about you: Sure.
19. Met somebody who changed you: Yes.
20. Found out who your friends are: Um?
21. Kissed someone on your Facebook list: Haha, well, they’re not that list anymore, exactly.
GENERAL:
22. How many of your Facebook friends do you know in real life: I dunno, some of them?
23. Do you have any pets: My siblings have a dog and two cats. I have none. But I like those pets when I see them, most of the time.
24. Do you want to change your name: Nah.
25: What did you do for your last birthday: Maybe something mildly interesting? Can’t remember.
26. What time did you wake up: 5:00 AM.
27. What were you doing at midnight last night: Talking to a friend on the phone, polishing up writing, then trying to sleep unsuccessfully.
28. Name something you cant wait for: I’m going to my first concert ever on the 25th and I could not be more excited and amazed. I honestly can’t even wrap my head around it still...
29. When was the last time you saw your mom: Huh...
30. What is one thing you wish you could change in your life: Not sure if I’m in the mood to answer this rather loaded question. You take what you have, you learn from what happens, and you progress further into life with a mindset that’s open to changing, growing and developing from these occurrences. That’s how I’ll answer this, I guess.
31: What are you listening to right now: My NaNoWriMo playlist. But this song, specifically.
32. Have you ever talked to a person named Tom: Nah.
33. Some thing that is getting on your nerves: Selfish assholes hurting the few people who I hold close and dear. Fuck ‘em.

40: Do u have a crush on anyone: Nope. It happens once in a blue moon. Like, the bluest fucking moon.

42. Piercings: Nope. Not even ear piercings.

52. Hair dyed in a different color: Nah. You went from asking about surgery to hair color? 
53: Sport: Tennis, crossfit, distance running, and yoga.
55. Vacation: Last amazing “vacation” was when I left the country to go to Europe. Was a worthwhile experience I’ll never forget. I want to go back.

71: sensitive or loud: Both and neither?
72. Hook up or relationship: Relationship or nothing at all. Honestly doesn’t cross my mind unless I form some kind of attachment and general platonic understanding/relationship with the person first. Hookups have never been of interest, and never will be.
73. troublemaker or hesitant: Oh I’m such a rebel. *Turns up the volume on TV to just over twelve notches.* See? I’m being a rowdy neighbor. (... I’m turbulent as fuck, okay?)

80. Broken someone’s heart: Yes.
81. Been arrested: Nope.
82. Cried when someone died: One time.
83. fallen for a friend: I’ve only fallen for my friends. Both relationships I’ve had started as friendships. This makes it better and so much worse at the same time.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN:
84. yourself: If I said yes, I’d be lying. It’s a process.
85. Miracles: No.
86. Love at first sight: Nope. 
87. Santa Claus: No.
OTHER:
90. current best friend name: Not gonna disclose that here.
91. Eye color: Brown.
92. favorite movie: My current favorite movies (off the top of my head) are Your Name, Whiplash and Baby Driver. This is always an almost-impossible question.

#049 Changing Your Codename
While your codename is undoubtedly an intrinsic part of your image, changing it is actually not all that hard to do. If you’re not trying to completely reinvent yourself by faking your death, moving, getting a new costume and starting over as a brand new person, changing your name is as simple as just letting people know that you’re the same hero, just with a new name. Call a press conference, disseminate a press release, post it on twitter, take out an ad in a newspaper that’s just a silhouette with the words “Who is the new mysterious Hydrosassin??” and then on the next page there’s a nigh identical ad except the silhouette is replaced by a full color picture of you with the words “Oh it’s just this guy!” Basically, changing your codename is easy peasy lemon squeezey. But why would a superhero ever want to change their highly recognizable codename? Well, there a dozens of reasons! And we’ve compiled a bunch of them just special for you!
Reasons You Might Want (or need) to Change Your Codename:
It’s been a while since anybody’s written a news article about you.
Another superhero started using your codename and everybody likes them better so they get to keep it!
Your new costume has different colors so you need to change the color in your codename to properly reflect this change.
The evolution of language has resulted in your codename now having unfortunate implications (This is why that detective who bursts into flames doesn’t go by “Flaming Dick” anymore).
You’ve received a cease and desist from a major corporation.
You discovered that you’re actually allergic to the animal you’ve named yourself after.
Somebody else owns the website domain name associated with your codename and it’s not a website you want people thinking you’re affiliated with.
You were recently cured of your colorblindness and realized that your costume was a different color than you thought it was.
It sounds inappropriate when said in certain accents.
The version of you that appears in sitcoms and cartoons is an absolute buffoon and you want to distance yourself from that.
You are addicted to holding press conferences.
You realized your codename implied that you had powers that you don’t actually have.
Your codename was way too long, especially for people to call out when they were in immediate danger so people would invariably call some other hero.
It tested poorly with focus groups for reasons they “couldn’t quite put their finger on.”
You lost the trademark.
It didn’t fit on your vanity license plate (and you can’t just take the vowels and spaces out of “Mister Boater”).
It was hard for songwriters to find rhymes for when they wrote songs about your bravery and heroism.
Your name was used as the title of a movie that wasn’t about you at all (not even a little bit!) but people still kept asking you about it.
You weren’t doing anything else today so why not.
It was too easy for songwriters and comedians to find rhymes for your name and they kept making mean rhyming songs and jokes.
A new AI helper was developed and it has the same name as you and now every time somebody calls your name dozens of devices come to life and say “How can I help you today?” and it is annoying.
You accidentally got your codename tattooed on your arm during a drunken night out and now, in order to prevent people from realizing who you are, you need to either change your codename or get the tattoo removed and removing tattoos is painful and expensive!
A terrorist organization started calling themselves by your name.
You lost a bet.
Some other guy bested you in combat and stole your name!
The actor who you were hoping would play you in the movie adaption of your life would only sign on if they got to choose a new, cooler, codename for you.
The toy company that you’ve licensed your image to for action figure purposes is forcing you to incorporate accessories and special features from your toys into your name. (That’s how Kung Fu Grip Star Breacher with Spring-Loaded-Missile-Launching Action! got his name, exclamation mark and all.)
You suffered severe head trauma and actually forgot what your old codename was and then when someone reminded you what it was, you thought it sounded stupid (and weren’t wrong!)
The animal you named yourself after went extinct.
You survived a traumatic incident and changed your name to show that the event had changed you.
You accidentally infiltrated an alien government and you had to change your codename to reflect your new rank as High Chancellor of the Blorp Emirates. 
Science discovered a new species that you thought was super cool so you renamed yourself after it.
You lost one of your numerous extra appendages and you didn’t want to sound like a liar by still calling yourself Twelve-Armed Lady.
That username was already taken on Twitter and you weren’t about to call yourself Supah Warriah-2.
You suffered another freak lab accident and your mutant form changed dramatically so you decided to come up with a new name for it.
Your old one was too long to neatly write on “hello my name is” tags at superhero single mixers which are almost definitely a thing.
The first three letters of your codename were a bad word so every time you’d get a high score in a video game you’d be setting a bad example for the kids. 
John Travolta mispronounced your name at an award show and you were too embarrassed to correct him so that’s your name now.
The ghosts of your ancestors came to you in a dream and told you that you were bringing great shame upon your family by going around with a doofy name like “Super Sprinkler,” or “Professor Paleontologist.”
Your name was too easy to spell and therefore easily googled and therefore everybody kept seeing that embarrassing video of you trying to arrest a fire hydrant you were 98% sure was an evil shapeshifter in disguise. (And it was an evil shapeshifter, it just didn’t reveal itself until after the cameras stopped filming!)
Every time somebody spoke your name out loud dogs vomited and you didn’t really know why that was but figured you were better off just changing your name.
You named yourself after the magical word that either powers you up or depowers you depending on what state you’re in so every time you introduced yourself to someone while in superhero mode you were instantly transformed back into a ten-year-old boy.
You’d just woken up from a coma and didn’t realize the name “Oprah” was already taken.
The person who was using the codename you really wanted died so now it’s just up for grabs!!!
You discovered a long lost super powered sibling and you were so overcome with a desire to be close with them that you guys went out and got new matching codenames.
Someone pointed out that your name spelled backwards read “All hail Satan Satan is great and he’s my best friend whom I love with all my heart” something which, somehow, you had never noticed before.
You got a fortune cookie that read “Hey! You should totally change your name! Erm, I mean. A great change will help you go far. Yeah, you get it. Lucky numbers: 8, 1004, -2, π.”
The “Director of Brand Reinvigoration Nation” that you hired off of Craigslist suggested a lot of stuff and “change your name and nothing else” was the easiest. (Other things included “star in a music video about soap,” and “create a third identity that is a villain.”)
A sick child used their wish to get you to change your name to something of their choosing.
You graduated from sidekick-hood and took on a new superhero moniker of your own.
You’re being blackmailed by a podium company into having numerous press conferences using their product as a form of free advertising.
You recently acquired a boat and needed to amend your name to add “captain.”
You recently completed your PhD and needed to amend your name to add “doctor.”
You came up with the name Brain Star before you started coming up with costume ideas and you understood that you couldn’t go around wearing a big “BS” on your chest.
The seasons change every four months! I change my name once in a ten year career and all of a sudden I have to explain myself???
Somebody bought you a gift card to a newspaper’s advertising department (a terrible gift by the way) and you don’t really know what else to do with it.
Your old name in sign language was a lewd gesture.
The name you originally wanted to use was deemed “way too cool for you” by your mentor but you just saved the world from alien werewolves from Jupiter’s moon so you felt that you’ve earned it now.
You didn’t like the way your picture turned out on your superhero team’s ID card and you figured if they were printing a new card for you anyway you may as well also change your name.
Someone triple dared you to change it.
An trans-dimensional imp placed a curse on you that made you speak entirely in song and at first you thought it was annoying but now you’re totally into it and so you’re really leaning into it and adding “:The Musical!” to the end of your name.
Thanks to the word of the day toilet paper your friend bought you (also a terrible gift) you’ve learned a bunch of cool new words that you want to incorporate into your codename.
You decided to take up a fallen hero’s legacy by taking on their name.
You’re a reformed supervillain who wanted to take on a new more heroic sounding name. (Killslaughter the Death Bringer is really more of a villain name.)
Somebody took you aside and gently explained to you why your codename was actually offensive to a group of people.
You met a version of yourself from an alternate reality and they had a way cooler name so you just adopted that. 
You found a drawing you’d made as a child of yourself as a superhero complete with a codename you’d come up with and even though “Sir Gumball Man VII” is a stupid name you felt you owed it to your younger self to follow through on your dreams. 
You misunderstood the public’s call for more transparency in superhero operations and changed your name to “Transparent Man/Woman/Person.”
People keep asking you if you were bitten by a radioactive version of the animal you’re named after. And you weren’t. The name comes from something else. You also can’t “do anything that [insert animal] can.” That Petey Parkour guy really ruined animal-themed names for everybody.
You wanted to change it to reflect the tips we featured in our post about codenames.
You thought of a really funny pun.

Binge Watching FRIENDS...
Just finished binge watching friends and as much nostalgia it brought me I couldn’t help but have this nagging thought about how different it wouldn't be in todays group of early 20s group of kids in NYC. So I made a list:
2. JOEY Tribbiani would be something like Martin Santiago since there was basically no representation of the racial diversity of NYC in the original FRIENDS I think there should be in a modern day one.
3. PHOEBE wouldn’t change much other than actually making her commit to the stereotype vegan, anti-government, anti-corporation, hippie because that’s still funny and quite a few people pin millennials as that.
4. Rachel should go into a male dominated field of occupation. In FRIENDS, Rachel gets independence from her parents’ money by getting the odd job here and there until she makes it into the Fashion industry which is something she loved and knew how to do. While this may be true in some circumstances its also quite sexist. We see this with the other main cast females as well. Monica is a chef where that is a male dominated industry, cooking and things related to it is always referred to Monica as “hosting” or “being a good hostess” which is a 1950s ways of looking at it in my pov. Phoebe is a masseuse which is considered a female occupation and isn’t taken seriously. You actually have to get a college degree for that ya know. So yeah Rachel should strive to become a businesswoman or a lawyer or something in computer sciences. Besides nerdy girls can be hot as fuck.
5. As much as I love Chandler Bing the way he is (mostly because I see so much of myself in this sarcastic anxiety prone goof) they really should have written him as gay or bisexual. I understand at that time it was okay to laugh about the thought of someone being homosexual without actually being it but if FRIENDS were potraying a bunch of todays 20 years olds then Chandler should be bisexual. Not only because bisexuality doesn’t get enough exposure but because it can still be used as comedy just more of a “mocking the bi-phobes” then a laughing at the gays. (Ross: So you’re dating a girl now? You’re not gay? Chandler: Nope, still Bisexual. That’s kinda what it means.)
6. I’m thinking Monica would be  a  biracial kid and her and Ross are step siblings that never really knew the difference between them until they were older. It would also make sense with why she is obsessed with being a good hostess. The white kids don’t fully accept her cause she’s not white the black kids aren’t fully accepting because she doesn’t talk or behave like them. Which feeds into her “please like me” hostess obsession.
7. Ross would still be a white young insecure asshole because unfortunately we still have those today but in this one the ending definitely won’t be in his happily ever after that he didn’t freaking deserve but Rachel’s. You know what, she should have left. It was a great opportunity for her and duh, if she didn’t like it she could always come back it wasn’t like her friends would have just forgotten about her after she left. ugh it makes me so angry. She could have done better. All the Rachel Greens out there can do better than the freaking Ross Gellars of the world.
8. Most of their jobs would be cyber related somehow like Chandler uses Tumblr and posts sarcastic comments at celebrities who sometimes surprisingly message him back. If the newer Joey character stayed an actor then he'd take a lot of photos and be on social media a lot for his “followers” using his friends life events to help his feed. Phoebe wouldn’t like technology until Ross somehow gets her addicted to Candy Crush or WOW. They all Skype or FT at work instead of meeting at that Cafe so that would nix the Gunther character.
9. To live in NYC it would make a lot more sense if all of them lived together in that one huge 2 bedroom apartment than for any of them to live independently on their own without struggling. Ross is a Paleontologist who worked at a museum/college and was also a divorcee who most likely had to pay child support. He could not have afford that nice of an apartment that was outfitted for him on the show. That’s laughable. The same with Phoebe. She had her own apartment of which she shared sometimes with others, yes but most times she lived their on her own with a masseuse’s salary. No wonder she complained about money a lot. In a 2018 FRIENDS she should ask for more free food or at least give comedic shots of her finding ways to get money like modeling for a nude portrait on a college campus or recording weird sounds for studios.
I can’t think of anymore at the moment but damn wouldn’t this be a great idea?

The fact that I lost the girl that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, because I treated her poorly, because I was getting used to my new schedule at work, so I had a short temper with her, and I took her for granted, always thinking I could spend time with her another day.

181: If I could get away with a crime, what would I choose to do? - Something that I would acquire a lot of money.
182: What does “family” mean to me? - Being completely comfortable with them, being able to tell them anything, and going through shit with them and still being able to make things work afterward. You can trust them. It doesn’t have to be blood related. It could be friends that you just get super close with, and then you can say that they’re family. 
183: What is my spirit animal? - Sloth. Lol. Idk maybe a wolf. 
184: How do I want to be remembered? - That guy that kept his head down and did his job and didn’t do any dumb shit. Lol
185: If I could master one skill, what would I choose? - SOCIAL SKILLS
186: What is my greatest failure? - Probably not going to college and playing soccer in college. That’s what I wanted growing up, and that’s what my dad pushed me for, and sent me on all those trips and spent those thousands and thousands of dollars on me for. I think about that all the time. How it seems like a waste of money now. Idk. 
187: What is my greatest achievement? - Idk. Maybe getting this job.
188: Love or money? - Love.
189: Love or career? - These two questions are kind of the same. But I would pick career, for this one. I know that’s what I did four months ago. And I know that the way I went about it was wrong. I was focused too much on my job. I was so happy I had a job that I could be proud of. But I didn’t balance it out. I didn’t balance work and my girlfriend. I put all my energy into work, because of the hours, and the learning, so I didn’t have energy for her. In spite of all that, after losing her, I still pick career, because I’m still young, because I learned my lesson, because I still have time to make a relationship work. I still have time to make it all work. I don’t wanna end up old and alone. And also, because I lost her, I really really can’t lose this job. I really don’t know what I would do if I did. 
190: If I could time travel, where and when would I want to go? - Three years ago, when I got home from the hospital after I had surgery on my arm. I would gladly start over from there. 
191: What makes me the happiest? - My nephew. He makes me happy.
192: What is “home” to me? - It used to be someplace else, but now, it’s the house that I live in with my family. 
193: What motivates me? - The fact that I’m still young, I have a good frickin job, and I’m decent looking. Lol. And that I wanna work to get better everyday, for myself, for my family, for her
194: If I could choose my last words, what would they be? - “lol fuk.” Nah umm probably still “Forever and Always.” Just cause
195: Would I ever want to encounter aliens? - If I don’t get abducted
196: A movie that scared me as a child? - Signs
197: Something I hated as a child that I like now? - Onions
198: Zombies or vampires? - Zombies are easier to kill I think
199: Live in the city or suburbs? - Suburbs
200: Dragons or wizards? - I like be one wizard
201: A nightmare that has stayed with me? - I used to have dreams where I’d be driving a car and I guess I’d go off a cliff or something and I’d be falling in the car. But the dream would always end before impact or whatever.
202: How do I define love? - This is gonna suck. Love is when you look forward to seeing them, every second of the day. When you already miss them, five seconds after walking out the door, after saying goodbye for ten minutes. When their voice, and their laugh, sounds so beautiful, like the sweetest and most uplifting song, and instantly brightens your day. When you memorize everything they talk about, what they like, dislike, and every comment and every random story they say that they think is irrelevant, but you still memorize and take to heart. When you memorize every little detail of their face. When you look into their eyes, and it entrances you. When you look into their eyes and you can’t imagine doing that with anyone else. When you look into their eyes and see everything you want and need. When you hold them, and they’re holding you, and you feel so happy, so content, that it feels like home. But love is also when you still want to do all that stuff, you still want to hold them, after they have been stressing you and frustrating you. After disagreements, after fights. Or after a long shitty day at work. Love is hard. It’s complicated. And it takes a lot of work and communication.
203: Do I judge a book by its cover? - When I was younger, yes. But I’ve learned a lot, and I’ve met  a lot of people that have changed my views
204: Have I ever had my heart broken? - Yes.
205: Do I like my handwriting? - Lol it’s ugly. I write really small.
206: Sweet or savoury? Savoury
207: Worst job I’ve had? - I guess that would be my first job. Hard labor, low pay. But I could call in sick like once a week at that job. Lol
208: Do I collect anything? - Naaah
209: Item of clothing or jewellery you’ll never see me without? - I feel so naked without a watch on when I’m out of the house. 
210: What is on my bucket list? - Go to Old Trafford and watch Manchester United play
211: How do I handle anger? - I do my best to chill and think about why I’m getting angry.
212: Was I named after anyone? - Not that I know of.
213: Do I use sarcasm a lot? - Not as much now. I’m really boring now. Lol. I’m too serious now.
214: What TV character am I most like? - Either Ross Geller or Ted Mosby
215: What is the weirdest talent I have? - My ability to be so nonchalant about a lot of stuff, but super crazy serious about other stuff. Idk. Lol
216: Favourite fictional character? - Snape
