get to know me more 🍓

i got tagged by truffs @trufflesmushroom and I’m procrastinating... also I haven’t done one of these in a while so!!! here we go

🍓 what do you prefer to be called name wise?

Joe, but it’s in my bio so ppl know that already. a lot of people call me Jo irl but I can hear they’re not adding the e

🍓 when is your birthday?

06/06 which is convenient bc it’s the same in both the regular, normal configuration of months and days and also in the american one! it’s the day before Bill Hader’s which is nice. Letting me come before him. He’s so considerate

🍓 where do you live?

Scotland. east coast babey

🍓 three things you are doing right now?

packing in preparation to return my hire car tomorrow, air-drying my naked bod, procrastinating at literally everything else

🍓 four fandoms that have piqued your interest right now?

I kinda prefer to just enjoy various things rather than say I’m In A Fandom, or Not In X Fandom Any More, especially when my involvement never goes beyond reblogging things and reading fic. But with that said, unsurprisingly I’m still.... eyeballs deep in IT chapters 1 & 2. Reddie. There literally hasn’t been a single day since ch2’s release when I haven’t thought about it, it’s intense. There’s so much amazing art and fic and I love talking about it, plus there’s still fic I’d like to write so I’m staying put for the time being

Aside from that, I’m excited for the new Assassin’s Creed, my AC feelings always flare up with a new release. Uhh... horror movies in general... I’m stoked for Barry s3, Tenet, The Green Knight, idk man between clown stuff and travelling I haven’t been paying attention to much else. OH I’m super interested in what Ben Wheatley does with the next Tomb Raider movie 👀

🍓 how is the pandemic treating you?

I’m extremely fortunate that I’ve been in New Zealand for the whole thing and it was handled very well. I spent lockdown with relatives out in the countryside hiking and biking and walking dogs, so I really can’t complain. I’m the fittest I’ve been in like 12 years

🍓 song you can’t stop listening to right now?

omg so many... I have one playlist on repeat whenever I’m driving but “He’s There... And Then He Does THAT” by Toehider really fucks

🍓 recommend a movie.

how can I pick one ugh.... Alpha (2018) dir. Albert Hughes. I could say Mandy or Paper Moon or The Fall but I feel like Alpha got overlooked

🍓 how old are you?

26

🍓 school, university, occupation, other?

uni dropout, ex-farm hand 😔 soon to be job-seeking

🍓 do you prefer hot or cold?

HOT. HOT WEATHER, eternal summer, endless heatwave pleaaaase I’ve had enough chilly windy scottish bullshit to last a lifetime

🍓 name one fact others may not know about you.

I believe in aliens but I don’t believe in ghosts

🍓 are you shy?

my social anxiety is leagues better than it used to be, I have no problem talking to strangers or on the phone etc but I don’t know about talking in front of an audience. Idk. Haven’t had any reason or inclination to try

🍓 do you have any preferred pronouns?

she/her

🍓 any pet peeves?

people who don’t shut up during movies holy shit I didn’t pay to hear your running commentary. people who drive slow as fuck until the part of the road you can overtake and then they speed up??

🍓 what’s your favorite “dere” type?

I don’t know what any of them mean except for tsundere!!!!

🍓 rate your life 1-10. 1 being really crappy and 10 being the best you could ever be.

maybe a 7 rn

🍓 what’s your main blog?

it’s this one lmao [grinch voice] you put your glasses back on and face the hyperfixations

🍓 list your side blogs and what they are used for.

@fyeahedgechronicles for the Edge Chronicles book series and @merhymn is a colour blog. both very inactive

🍓 is there anything you think people need to know about you before becoming friends with you?

I’m so bad at keeping regular communication! 😬 I ghost people for weeks and months sometimes but I don’t mean anything by it, it’s just that if I don’t feel like I’ve anything worthwhile to say or contribute then I don’t say anything at all bc I feel like I’m bothering people. I love my friends but sometimes I forget that just because I don’t mind weeks of incommunicado it doesn’t mean everyone is cool w/ that

DO I GET ASKS REGULARLY: nah. I know most of the people that follow me, and we chat elsewhere.

WHY DID I CHOOSE MY URL: Planned to have this tumblr as a place to write down all the snarking and bitching I do to books and movies and shows. whups.

GENDER: I identify as female, but “wrong” gendered pronouns don’t bother me.

HOGWARTS HOUSE: Gryffindor, apparently. God I hate red.

POKEMON TEAM: Uh... Whatever I’m leveling up at the time I guess? I don’t play competitively, and I usually switch out pokemon to fit whatever gym I’m challenging next.

DREAM JOB: No people, only numbers or reports and computers or counting. Simple, logical, satisfying. Packing online orders has been great at work, if only I didn’t have to be interrupted by people. And if things were actually put where they belong instead of being all lumped together in some stupid “40′ Wall of Deals” that isn’t actually a 40′ wall, but several locations scattered throughout the store...
