Sometimes you just gotta restart a chapter from scratch I guess

Answer the 11 questions at the end of the post, Tag 11 people, and then write 11 questions for them to answer.

Tagged by: @neverparted

1) what song that best describes your current mood? Some Nights by FUN. Really living those awful ups and downs right now tbh.

2) what recent movie did you watch that made you stop and think? why? I barely remember the last movie I watched (I think it was Moana?). But... mh one movie that got me thinking hard back then was K-PAX. Still love it.

3) what are the five things you cannot leave home without? If you mean ‘leave’ as in ‘temporarily leave’, then...

tissues

a water bottle

my keys

....and that’s it, really. Tissues are the most essential though, tbh. Sue my chronic nose problems.

4) why did you decide to write your current muse? ( or your most active one, if you have more than one muse ^-^ ) Originally I once got the idea of writing a book that contains the seven sins as characters. I discovered Binsfield’s classification of demons and, because the first chapter I thought of included Asmodeus, decided to make him one of my main characters. (Said first chapter would involve a young uni student or nurse assisting a 90+ old lady at home entering said lady’s home and finding a horribly handsome young man naked in her bed. Turns out that gran Hannah had a steamy night with /the/ demon of lust. Hilarity, death and a lot of demonic shit ensures.) Uh yeah. And because I wanted to get to know this character better before actually writing a story about him, I made an rp account for him. Only for him, the other sins were mere side characters. I deleted his account after a while though (shoutout to @survival-is for sticking with me back then and even when I came back :3). Later, after my previous rp circle died down, I decided to revive him and all the other sins and make a multimuse blog.

5) do you think that chivalry is dead? why or why not? I don’t know? It’s a weird saying. Personally, I’ve known a few guys who defy that statement. But since chivalry is bordering the edge of misogyny for most people these days, I suppose that does not help make it live longer. Personally I prefer to call it “decent human behaviour and well manners” which, imo, should apply to all genders and sexes when interacting with each other.

6) if you could exchange lives with one historical figure, who would it be? why? I... none actually because I quite like having human rights as a woman, contraception, hot showers and Wifi, thanks. Though I wouldn’t say no to being an ancient Egyptian queen for just one day. But that’s mostly my inner nerd speaking. I appreciate the high comforts of modern society too much :,)

7) if someone cut in front of you while you were standing in line, what would you do? I live in Germany so tbh this is not a thing that I have to be afraid of happening lol But if it does happen, I call them out on it (politely at first), you bet.

8) what is the scariest thing that happened to you? Dude I do not even remember any of the things that happened to me yesterday. So what do I know? The recently most scary thing was me getting on an elevator after a doctor’s appointment and as the elevator went down it started shaking so freaking bad I thought for sure it was going to crash and I’d die. (Evidently it didn’t, but wow I was scared shitless)

9) what is your favorite urban legend?  I honestly don’t really know many urban legends. There’s nothing much in our region. But I can tell you my favourite fairytale :) It’s about how the stars came to be. Because you see, back in the day the sky was covering all of Earth, and it was always dark beneath it. Above it though, eternal light was shining and a choir of thousand voices was singing wonderful songs. From down below you can only see the underside of the sky, but up above the sky is so slippery that god has to lean on a wooden stick to not fall on it. Wandering the sky for thousands of years, this crutch left hundreds of holes in the sky floor, through which the light now shines down on Earth. Those are the stars. uvu

10) who do you ship your muse with? why?  Uh my major ships for my muses on this blog are:

Asmodeus/Amduscias I mean?? Is there even anything remotively like it? Bonfire Hearts got me in a tight grip still and we won’t let go of each other lol

Leviathan/Female Leviathan (aka Liv) because nothing makes my heart go like two ancient sea monsters and their tragic love story

Paimon/Luzifer which is mainly exploited in AUs but you know it’s out there in canon too and it’s real

Nithael/Luzifer of which we never see anything because Nithael is dead af

Other relevant ships to name are Amduscias/Luzifer (I need more of that), Dennis/Levi, Asmo/His vampire boy crew, Satan/Madeleine (which has only occured in my head so far and I think only Lani knows about them heh)

11) which do you prefer: ghosts, vampires, werewolves, or zombies? why?  Ghosts. Vampires are too cliché for my taste these days, zombies I’ve never liked because honestly I’m scared of that shit, and werewolves just.. bore me. Ghosts are cool tho. Ghosts can be very versatile.

my questions: 1) Did you have a favourite stuffed animal as a child? If so, do you still have it? What is it? 2) What was a movie series you started watching full of hope and excitement until the second or third one came out and you were awfully disappointed? 3) What is your favourite thing about yourself? 4) What is your favourite Disney song? 5) What is a character you’ve always wanted to make/rp but never got around to? 6) What is a song you connect with your current main muse? 7) Have you ever created an own character whom you then realised was a total Mary Sue/Gary Stu? 8) Pasta, rice or potatoes? 9) What age were you when you stopped running from your light switch to your bed after turning off the lights? 10) What do you think of the recent unicorn hype? 11) If you could be any fantastical creature of your own choice, what would you like to be?
