remembering why varric takes anders betrayal so personally you can *hear* the change in his character in the party banter and varric keeps trying to joke and be normal with him. he never saw the changes and it really like solidifies why he’s so resolute in saving solas it’s like a second chance of sorts
#i’ve played inquisitions dozens upon dozens of times so it’s the one i love the most and remember the most#but dragon age 2 was my first one and it makes me so 🥺#it’s the second one i’ve played the most but i haven’t played it in legit over a decade#so i’m just watching it on youtube and listening to the banter bc#i refuse to play it with the default world state and my origins playthrough is on pc and not xbox so i can’t port it over SKSKSJSJ#lyriumsings txt

not to drag this out but i totally agree with ur thoughts on banter. like not to be too harsh on karl but it feels like a common theme for his content is to be a little Too fast paced and have a lot of big names in it. like i could never really get into his yt mc videos bc i just felt so many things were happening way too quickly. maybe its a mr beast KEEP THE ATTENTION ON YOU kinda technique but im not a fan of that guy anyways. its ironic that the podcast is kind of the opposite bc i basically get nothing out of it since its too short and they never really talk about anything new. as for it being a cash grab i think they probably dont make a lot out of it as of right now since they dont even have sponsors and how much does spotify even pay people, but if they continue doing 30 minute episodes how many ad reads could they even do lol its be funny if they did 2 minute ad breaks every 10 minutes.
anon don’t worry about dragging it out i like being harsh on main. okay you’re completely right about the cash grab thing because i just listened to a clip of them talking about how they don’t have sponsors. i guess they make money from the youtube channel but that’s probably like nothing compared to their other revenue streams. i can imagine they can get sponsors pretty easily considering how quickly they gained popularity, but maybe they just don’t care or haven’t sorted it out yet.
anyway as for the rest of your ask, i completely agree. i also never watch karl’s videos because they make me feel like i’m in an episode of black mirror and i generally just don’t like being too overwhelmed when watching youtube and stuff and karl and his editing can be...overwhelming. i also don’t love when he shoves a ton of famous people in his streams and vids because when you have too many people, then some people are bound to get drowned out and you get so few valuable interactions or conversations. i agree they’re using the fast paced mrbeast technique in the podcast, but that’s like...not the point of podcasts in my experience? unless it’s news or something and you’re strictly there to give information to people. other than that, i look at podcasts as an opportunity to dive into topics, tell stories, etc. which, they do, but only in these bite sized chunks which, like you said, leave the listener taking away nothing from the podcast, especially because they rarely talk about anything new or interesting
going back to the money thing, does that mean this is a passion project? like what’s the goal here? because if this is a passion project it feels as if there’s no heart in it and they’re planning it like. the same day they record (didn’t they have to pull ludwig off his stream to record? like jesus christ) did they just sit down and think “we have clout, people will be happy to be on it and other people will listen, why not” rather than thinking out an actual reason or theme of the podcast? it feels hollow
#ask#sorry anon i went off topic#clearly ur not dragging it out because i am willingly dragging it out even further#karl jacobs critical#oops haven’t used that tag in a minute#banter podcast critical#banter discourse

HEEHEE! hits u back with the character game uhh thor or bucky :33
!!! I'll do... BOTH >:D ! It'll be long tho so I'm putting em under cuts :}
Here's the ask game btw!
Thor!
How I feel about this character: OH he's such a bi disaster. But he's trying his best. Textbook himbo. Crushed under the weight of his father's expectations of him alot of the time. Probably struggles with self worth nowadays too,with the battles and family he's lost! Also he's very much like those memes abt dudes/dads where they'll mention some horrible childhood trauma and then have some funny song playing in their head like nothin even happened.! I feel like he cares very deeply for the friendships he's made and the found family he's gained with the warriors three [rip] and the avengers! Overall? Kind himbo who respects women and forgets how smart he is sometimes.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: honestly this is such a hard question cause im sure if u presented me with like,good reasons for most people then I'd be on board. But so far one of my Main ships for Thor rn is Bruce and Thor <3 GammaHammer makes me happy :} I've seen thor n valkyrie stuff too which is like aight they're all bi4bi t4t prolly,but honestly a polycule or some shit w Bruce Val and thor would be Inch resting :} I'm not sure tho! Oh and Jane Foster I Guess but she's not rlly up there.
My non-romantic OTP for this character: OH absolutely thor and loki ! Brothers 🤍 I rewatch the thor movies the other day and seeing them fight together and hang out as kids made me so 🥺❗ yknow? I also think Thor n Darcy are a fun pair! Thor and the warriors three make me :} as well bc they're all buddies! That's his little family yknow!! Or. Was.
My unpopular opinion about this character: listen i know I just called him a himbo but he's smarter than people give him credit for I think. But also he's pretty cocky at times with his fighting ability and I feel like that's his greatest downfall. He tends to sorta think he can do everything on his own,and he doesn't rely on others until he really needs to and it ends up w him or his companions hurt :(
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.: ough I wish we could've gotten more time to see him experiencing earth stuff! In other like shows n such (like one of the animated series) its funny to see him interacting with mortals and I feel like we don't get that enough. Like sure we got the "another!" Scene and if you watched the YouTube mocumentary he obviously doesn't understand money or jobs. But it's still funny and I'd like to see him go "I don't understand what that means :D" like an optimistic puppy yknow :]
Uhmm yeh that's for thor! OK Bucky time 🤍
Bucky-
How I feel about this character: I feel like. They should do more w him in the mcu! But that's just bc im a kinnie ig but it makes me sad that he's just viewed as Steve's Sidekick when he's got a personality and works so well as Sam's partner in TFAWTS! I like the representation he can bring to the table though,regarding disability (I mean even though. He's an enhanced person but yknow.) And mental health! He also shows that your past doesn't need to define you and you CAN be free and work past old mistakes.! I feel like he's a little out of touch sometimes bc of the time shifts and mental stuff goin on,but I'm not saying it's a bad thing,its just compelling to meeee
All the people I ship romantically with this character: I USED to ship stevebucky I won't lie,but I much rather prefer SamBucky bc its just better LMAO Sam is much cooler than Steve in many regards and to me Sam is a better influence on Buckys life ig? Like. Idk how to explain it well enough but their banter is better and they compliment eachother rather than one of them taking the reigns all the time. I just like the level playing field where it still feels like Bucky can be a Sidekick but his partner at the same time rather than Just Bucky Barnes. Idk if that makes sense but !
My non-romantic OTP for this character: honestly I'm not sure? I feel like if they could both get over association's with like...almost killing eachother Bucky and Nat could be friends :] both were molded to be Weapons and have to deal with their traumas and mental health. Obviously I also wish Steve would've stuck around bc I hate that he like.LEFT his best friend and new family,but whatever.
My unpopular opinion about this character: I think bucky is sort of a dork actually. Alot of people make him very stoic and Winter Soldiery but that's. Not all he is! He's a complex person who's been used and weaponized and its annoying whenever people try to say he's a stoic person or whatever. Like no bro ur thinking abt the winter soldier. Ofc the winter solider was/is part of him and that doesn't just shut off but I think it's bs to boil him down to Killing Machine Assasinator Ooo Scary! When he was also a soldier during. Fucking Ww2! He was also like shown to be a bit of a dorky guy who liked to dance and be with chick's n shit lmao,like he mustve been a charmer. And even after,like during tfatws he's shown to still have bits of that personality. He messes around with Sam's nephews and offers help without prompting and just overall wants to live a more peaceful life while still managing to be social and humorous. ("How old are you anyways?" "106.") Anyways I think what I'm saying is ppl tend to forget to split him and tws.!
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.: this is sort of similar to the Thor thing but discovering new age shit! Like I wanna see him be bad at tech or be confused by new slang. Also wanna see him like, get annoyed at how the tech is where he's at vs. The wakandan tech. That shit probably blew his socks off and then he had to go hang w Americans and went :(?? How do i use a flip phone. The beads were so convenient in Wakanda HFNEBDB. I also wish we could've actually seen how bucky Healed in Wakanda?? Like however he was helped yknow? I'm sure they (mcu) can't like do much besides say he was Magically Cured Of Mental Illness so I guess I'm glad they left it up to whatever but. Still 😔
Anyways uhm yeah! Sorry this is so long sjdjf it prolly doesn't make much sense but 👍❤
#thank u for ur ask ricky :}#now i wanna take a nap before work bc ive been up since 6 :(#ask game.answered#thor#bucky barnes#mcu#marvel#ill answer the other ones soon ooo im just sleepy rn

hi !! can i get a romantic haikyuu matchup with ♫︎ + 𑁍 please? she/her pronouns, i'm pan, infp, with a libra sun+moon ! i'm introverted, very chill and free spirited, also very patient, to the point that i'm sometimes a doormat :/ i'm in touch with my emotions, i'm usually quiet but can get really talkative when excited. i get in my own head a lot and have a hard time asking for help. cursed memes and playful banter are my cups of tea, and i'm not easily flustered (but that's probs partly bc i'm kinda dense oof). 🃏 [1/3]
i do competitive debate and it's kind of my sport! i'm a theatre kid too, i absolutely love performing! i'm bilingual and learning french, i love classic books, philosophy, and cats. i'm a pop culture nerd! i speak very animatedly. sharing songs is a love language for me. i think i'm very supportive towards my friends, i don't always give advice but i always try to be there for them as much as i can (even if i nag them sometimes).🃏 [2/3]
i love writing analyses on media i like! i'm especially into stuff that has lots of themes and focus on character psyche, i like picking them apart. i also like fashion and playing uke! i don't have an ideal type for an s/o, all i ask is they understand when i'm super busy and need to be alone to recharge, but also know when to call me out when i'm trying to burn myself out lol. i like spontaneous, spur of the moment dates! this got long hshs but thank you sm and hope you have a great day !! 🃏 [3/3]
♡ matchup for anon
haikyuu: i match you with . . .
tetsurō kuroo !!
• i'm convinced you'd go great with Kuroo, and that you're exactly his type! relaxed and quiet yet fun, you'd catch his attention quickly.
• he adores your analytical, nerdy side but also your funny and free-spirited personality. definetly the type to playfully make fun of you for those traits to express his affection tho (until you point out he's just as much of a geek himself)
• being Kenma's friend, he has no problem getting you out of your head and laying out the facts. he'll help you focus on smaller goals to keep you from burning out. taking breaks is obligatory and if he's not there himself you guys will have video chats to take your mind off work. his dedication knows no bounds, trust me.
• boy is super vigilant about your health but not in an annoying naggy way. he sends you reminers to drink water and have a meal because he doesn't want his dearest person hurting herself (。╯︵╰。)
• you guys met at a debate competition. Kuroo didn't really want to be there but he was recruited by his peers to fill in for another person from the debate club who couldn't make it. he's always this kind, right?
• funny thing is that you never had an "official" debate but instead one in the corridor of the building the competition was held in. you were trying desperately to get a drink stuck in the vending machine when Kuroo came to your rescue.
• he taught you a useful hack how to get those things free but also teased you about not asking for help sooner you know he had to
• you ended up arguing over whether or not it was okay to ask strangers for help. it was dumb and far from any structured debate, but it was fun! Kuroo really had a bast seeing you switch from your polite ways to excitable chatter during your conversation and knew immediately he liked you.
• so, you exchanged numbers and social media before parting ways. getting together as an official couple no doubt took a while but that only resulted in a relationship that was all the more sound and comfortable for the both of you (*´▽`*)
• if anyone plans to take advantage of your politeness, Kuroo will just stare at them over your shoulder with that smile of his. i assure you no one is going to take advantage of you on his watch! "hmm? what was that you were about to say? let us hear it."
• you playfully tease each other on daily basis, light-hearted banter and snarky remarks, but by god when he tries to be the slightest bit more romantic you completely miss the point. rip Kuroo he's taken it as a challenge to make you flustered and will stop at nothing.
• you guys would have so much fun debating over everything from philosophy to ridiculous opinions such as whether cheese goes before or after the ham on a sandwich.
• gets all smug when you start being more talkative with him because you're showing a special side to yourself, hehe.
• has the s o f t e s t smile on his face when he listens to you talk !! like, resting his chin on his palm and leaning in, hanging on your each and every word while thinking how precious you are ♡︎
• can't forget about all the cursed memes you send each other in the middle of the night! not mention how you have entire conversations in them??
• it's completely all right if you don't have advice to give. when Kuroo's feeling down you being there is all be needs ♡︎ your presence alone is enough to remind him everything is going to be okay.
• !! sharing earbuds during bus, car and train rides !! change my mind. he especially likes it if you rest your head on his shoulder all the while, it makes him feel happy that you trust him so much. plus the fluffy intimacy.
• once he tried doing the same to you but he's kinda heavy so eventually you had to tell him to lift it. but in exchange, you let him lay his head on your lap. he actually prefers it that way now.
• such an overly dramatic couple honestly. if one of you starts acting dramatic, the other will jump the bandwagon no questions asked. yeah . . . your friends don't third-wheel on your dates much . . .
• your dates include shopping for fashion (imagine trying to style his hair to fit with the rest of his outfit but the last second it just goes poof), aimless "we'll figure out a date on the way there" drives, trying out funky science experiments from youtube, donating blood, pillow fort parties and childhood movie nights ♡︎

— favourite memory with you
afrer a big volleyball game victory Kuroo had decided to cofess to you. it was the perfect opportunity, he was feeling the most confident and ready. so, after the celebration with his teammates he invited you over to his place where you'd get some peace and quiet. however, before he got to say what he'd been agonising over for months now, you asked to play a song for him. you had written it yourself, especially for him, for this victory and your own confession! boy was absolutely shooketh but all the more smitten. he almost cried you were so perfect shh it was you both laughed as he said his confession right after ♡︎
— favourite activity to do together
i said it before and i'm gonna say it again: Kuroo loves playfully bantering with you. your wit never ceases to surprise him but it also gives him an excuse to throw an arm around your shoulder and get even closer to you ♡︎ as for actual activities i wanna say simply hanging out with you is more than enough for Kuroo because it's then when you're the most relaxed. it also leaves room for more spontaneous dates, your adventures are always new and exciting!
— favourite place to kiss you
Kuroo is a tease and will kiss you anywhere but the lips (or any other place you want him to). he loves giving you kisses but in most situations you might think he lives to see your pout or glare as he takes his time. in the end though, his kisses are the sweetest, meant only for you. in conclusion, i think his preferences very much shift according to yours.
— favourite nicknames to call you by
okay i know 'kitten' is very popular in the fandom, and i think since you like cats he enjoys calling you by it. but the nicknames he likes calling you by the most are usually in foreign languages, like 'chica' 'ma cherie' etc. if you like nicknames then do i have good news for you because cheesy ones as 'hunny bun' and 'boo' are also on his list!
— favourite thing about you
your sense of humour, among other things, is something Kuroo finds endearing about you! it's very similar to his own so he thinks of it as something that connects the two of you. also, the fact that you're in touch with your emotions is precious in his eyes. it's not common these days so you're a special treasure to him ♡︎
♡︎ runner up: Rintaro Suna
hihi! here i am doing requests hahahahaa . . . right. no excuses. i am terribly sorry for the wait so i'm trying to improve the quality of these in an attempt to make-up for the mega long wait. i sincerely hope you see and loke this!! stay safe and remember to be kind to yourself ♡︎

Going anon bc I'm a bit too nervous to send a message but first things first:
I love your works on AO3/your youtube videos! You're so talented! Here: 💓💓💓💓 Encountering any of your creations is so satisfying 😌.
Now, that I got to give you your much deserved kudos, I need your help. I would very much appreciate it if you could suggest me songs/content inspirations; I'm trying to see if I can write (or even outline really) a fic where the whole MI team is out for a drink and Ethan Hunt is jealous, watching Benji Dunn interact with a "close friend," (a character I'm basing off of Simon's friend Nick). I'm finding the banter between Benji and his bestie coming easily to me but every time I even try to write Ethan, it's like hitting a brick wall. Yeah the man's human, but he's a gosh darn spy/government agent trained at hiding his reactions and he's too nice to be passive aggressive and I'm spiraling- I was trying to listen to "Jealous" on repeat but it wasn't cutting it for me. Please help if you can. Sorry to be a bother!
Hello anon! Thanks so much, that’s very sweet.
That sounds like a really fun premise! I love the idea of a meta wink at a MI/Cornetto crossover with Nick Frost. I’m afraid I’m not much of a music person--I don’t listen to much while writing, and if I do it’s instrumental. Lyrics distract me!
But, the advice I might offer is two-fold. 1) How are other characters reacting to all this? i.e. are Luther, Jane, Ilsa, etc. present, and how many pieces are they putting together? I can imagine Ethan’s oldest friend realizing that Ethan is invisibly fuming over Benji’s attention being taken by this Other Person, Why Isn’t Benji Paying Attention to Me, Luther, He Always Pays Attention To Me. And, I imagine Luther would probably be delighted at an opportunity to poke fun at Ethan “why would I be upset, we all have other friends, why should I be upset that he has Another Friend?” Hunt. Which might take you to 2) some other avenues for Ethan...did he realize why he feels jealous right away, or is he just hostile and can’t name the emotion? Did he know he had a crush before and manfully hid it because of Duty, and is now utterly miserable because Duty means he can’t do anything about this guy Benji clearly adores, so he’s just torturing himself by sitting politely? Meaning Benji’s like “why is Ethan sitting there quietly smiling Like That, is someone secretly torturing him, surely I should have been briefed on that.” Or is Ethan having this realization now, that what he’s feeling is jealousy, and oh no! “do I have a crush on Benji”? *cue panicked dragging off of other friend for a private conversation (perhaps in the high school Yes We Are Going to the Bathroom Together way) about this new development*
Hope that helps anon!

I’m thinking of watching McElroys, do you have any suggestions for what I should start with?
I’m not sure how familiar you are with the McElroy Empire of Content, so I’ll just assume you’re at base level 0, which is where you know that the internet loves these things called McElroys but you’re not sure what or who these creatures are.
*stretches arms in front of me* Alright. Let’s do this.
The McElroys are an extend family who have decided to peddle their comedy across the interwebs. They primarily make podcasts (all of which I’m sure you can find wherever you listen to podcasts), but also have done various video contents.
I’ll just focus on some of the main stuff, bc hooo boy! Do these boys make a lot of things!
The flag ship of the USS McElroy is the podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me. Hosted by three brothers Justin, Travis, and Griffin. It purports to be a comedy advice show, but the McElroys are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. It’s basically like if you came to your big brothers with a problem you were having, and instead of actually helping you, they just suggest every single thing that you absolutely shouldn’t do, all while cracking jokes about horses and 420 and haunted dolls. Heavy on the goofs and the sibling banter. (I actually don’t really listen to this one? I don't enjoy the amount of sexual humor. So I just tune in every now and then, and listen to clips on YouTube, but I’ve been told that you should avoid the first 100 or so episodes.)
Some good, good bits. x x x
Next is The Adventure Zone. This is RPG podcast . It’s the three brothers and their dad, Clint, sitting down to play DnD and various roleplay games. Although it’s less of an actual-play show (such as Critical Role), and more of using games as a scaffold for improve storytelling. There’s been two main campaigns so far: TAZ Balance (epic fantasy adventure with anachronistic, scifi-y twists) and TAZ Amnesty (supernatural monster hunting story set in modern West Virginia, equal parts campy and spooky). It’s a goofy podcast that sneaks up behind you with a bear hug of emotion.
The official Balance trailer. The Amnesty trailer.
Sawbones: a Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine is hosted by Justin and his wife Sydnee, who is a real-life doctor. It’s what it says on the tin; Sydnee goes through medical history, discussing different dumb things humans have done each other in the name of medicine. Justin is horrified and amused in turn. It’s actually pretty fun, and sometimes gross, and I’ve learned a fair amount listening to it. Sawbones is also the only McElroy podcast that tries to be family-friendly: if you need something you can listen to in the same room as young children or your conservative relatives, this is the one for you.
Wonderful! is hosted by Griffin and his wife Rachel. The tag is “an enthusiast podcast”, so each week the couple talk about a few things that they enjoy or just really makes them happy. It’s very cute, very positive, and an excellent de-stresser! Rachel and Griffin make me believe in romantic love. 15/10 recommend.
What’s that? You’re not a podcast person? You just want something to sit down and watch? You’ve got options, my friend.
Griffin and Justin used to work for (co-created?? idk) the video game news outlet, Polygon, and made a massive amount of videos over there before leaving it in 2018.
Someone made a cool post of McElroy-centric Polygon video recs over here.
In Monster Factory, Griffin and Justin break every video game with a character design feature by making horrible, terrible monsters WHOM THEY LOVE DEARLY.
You’ve probably heard of The Final Pam already. Even if you didn’t know you had.
One time Griffin ate a banana funny.Oh yeah. My Brother, My Brother, and Me was made into a tv show. It’s on Vrv for free, although you do have to sign up for an account (still free), bc it’s rated mature.
There’s so, so many more, but it’s midnight and the computer screen is setting my eyes on fire. Basically, just pick whichever of these tickle your fancy, and start there. I first found the McElroys through The Adventure Zone: Balance and Monster Factory, so personally I think those are good places to start, but you do you!

ok, so:
firstly, i GOTTA mention Dimension 20. they have a main cast and then do shorter seasons where they mix it up in between.
the first one is Fantasy High, a mix of John Hughes movies and high fantasy. very funny, very good, there’s two and a half seasons on this setting and ive cried so many times lol.
youtube
the most recent one is A Starstuck Odyssey, and is based on a series of sci fi graphic novels that was based on a bunch of stage plays from the 70s! think Star Wars. (they use the Star Wars 5e system)
ooh, The Unsleeping City is SO GOOD, it’s modern day NYC but with a magical underbelly. this one will make you cry. it will bring you to tears, it’s that good.
the only thing about this one is that you do have to pay for their streaming service to get access to most of the campaigns/recent episodes, but it has a lot more content than just ttrpgs.
the podcast has season 1 of Fantasy High, Escape From The Bloodkeep—one of their side campaigns—, and season 1 of The Unsleeping City. it’s a good sample of the show.
they upload the first episode of each campaign onto their youtube too!
bomBARDed
a texan band plays as bards at a bard school solving mysteries and discovering treasure, interspersed with little ditties and it’s really funny
Join The Party
so they’re really great for beginners who aren’t as familiar to ttrpgs, AND they have 2 seasons out already. season 2 is almost over, like 3-4 weeks, but there’s a third in the mix rn.
Campaign 1 is high fantasy and is SOOO good, ive legit cried listening to it.
Campaign 2 is modern and sci fi superhero, and is just chock full of so many good moments. they put you through the winger lol
ooh, next is NADDPOD
so there currently 3 main campaigns and 2 side campaigns. they just started their third campaign!!
it’s mainly comedy, they’re all comedians/come from comedy, but it can get really emotional. less so on the side quests bc those are mostly run by the PCs and are much more loosey goosey.
All of their campaigns are pretty much high fantasy with anachronisms.
ok, so stay with me on this one: it’s Critical Role BUT, i’m specifically talking about Exandria Unlimited.
you don’t need to know anything about previous seasons, and it’s sooooo good!!! there’s mystery and intrigue and fun banter lots of heartbreak i just really love it.
oooh another one that’s really good!! all the players have such amazing chemistry and it’s really funny.
Battle for Beyond
the conceit is that it’s a battle royale/arena where ppl compete to get a wish granted, like to go back in time or save someone etc. it’s really cool and the players start out separately, in 2 teams of 3 and then all come together to form one team. it’s real short, but so much fun!!
youtube
oooh! another good show!! i’ve only watched a few, but it’s so moody and i love the player characters!!
youtube
does anyone have good story podcasts they recommend
#hmm there’s more but that’s all the spoons i have so here you go!#i just love ttrpg shows so much lol#long post

I'd point myself in the right direction of the better people 😂I'd teach myself how to stand up for myself and how to not take any crap.And I'd give myself a hug and tell myself it's okay not to be cishet, because maybe if I could turn back time and start to deal with it earlier I'd be okay with it now.💚 who are you jealous of and why?A lot of people really, with qualities I don't have.I suppose one kid in particular is like, everything i want to be.

A Sunday (Saturday) Tag
I was tagged by dear @stanzi-manzi but I’m busy tomorrow so today will have to do!
1) Are you named after someone?
Not that I know of. My mum liked the name Kate, and her friend who was adopting at the same time Mum was pregnant with me liked/suggested the name Katherine and I arrived first and so got the name.
2) When was the last time you cried?
Oh gosh.. I’m not sure. Maybe stifled tears of overwhelming heartwarmth and empowerment at footage of the Woman’s March?
3) Do you like your handwriting?
It’s mine and it does its job, so sort of.
4) What is your favourite lunch meat?
I’m more of a cheese sandwich than a lunch meat type of girl.
5) If you were another person, would you be friends with yourself?
Probably not. I’d be that person where all the interests, passions line up perfectly every expects us to be best friends but I just cannot stand them. Also, I am fiercely defensive of my individuality and so there could never be 2 mes on the same patch of turf.
6) Do you use sarcasm?
Naturally.
7) Do you still have your tonsils?
Yes.
8) Would you bungee jump?
Rationally, I want to say no, never, I’m terrified of heights, but I know myself, if a friend said “hey lets do this” I’d protest for two seconds and jump right off with them just for fun (and not to miss out).
9) What is your favorite kind of cereal?
I don’t really like cereal, I’m going to be completely honest. I never have. Kellogg’s Branflakes are okay tho.
10) Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Of course! As my mother once said, if you don’t “it puts a strain on things”. To which I replied “like what?”. “Our relationship”
11) Do you think you’re a strong person?
Physically, not as much as I’d perhaps like. Mentally... I don’t know.
12) What is your favourite ice cream flavor?
I’m this awful human being who doesn’t actually like ice cream!!
13) What is the first thing you notice about people?
I don’t know, it varies between people. Some people its their hair, or their shoes, or their clothing, it depends on which is their most distinctive feature.
14) What is the least favourite physical thing you like about yourself?
Um... the way my thighs are just above my knees. But its alright because I’m a vintage/retro clothing fan so most of my skirts are long enough to cover that, and the ones that don’t, I wear with thick tights because the scottish climate doesn’t exactly favour bare legs often.
15) What colour pants and shoes are you wearing now?
Right now, dark grey jeans and no shoes - but beautifully soft grey socks that I got for christmas and actually adore!
16) What are you listening to right now?
The noise of the fan on this old laptop as I try to sort out my mum’s iTunes library and the whine of some awful youtube video my brother is watching.
17) If you were a crayon, what colour would you be?
Payne’s grey. That’s also the colour of acrylic paint I would be. I love that colour so much.
18) Favourite smell?
You’re going to laugh or grimace, I know, but having grown up in the countryside I’m... appreciative of the smell of animal excrement. Odd I know. But there’s something sort of natural and outdoorsy about it that reminds me strongly of sunny idyllic afternoons spent cycling along country lanes between the fields around me. Judge me if you will.
19) Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?
Automated telly-sales asking about government schemes on replacing boilers or windows or something, the last time I was home alone and had no choice but to answer the phone.
20) Favourite sport to watch?
Rugby I suppose, although even that doesn’t hold my attention for long.
21) Hair Colour?
Mousy brown.
22) Eye Colour?
Grey-Blue.
23) Do you wear contacts?
No. I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 4 years old and by this point they are just part of my face and I wouldn’t be me without them. I also wouldn’t be able to see without them :P
24) Favourite food to eat?
Oh gosh... I’m a sucker for italian food so really any kind of pasta. But I think pizza will have to take this one. But not any pizza. Specifically pizza in Italy. The way they do it there... is incomparable.
25) Scary movies or Comedy?
Comedy all the way. Especially rom-coms. I can’t handle anythign remotely scary.
26) Last movie you watched?
Um... sadly it was Terminator Salvation last night on tv with my family. Not remotely as good as the old terminators, which I grew up on. Although babby Anton Yelchin was kinda cute.
27) What colour of shirt are you wearing?
My favourite mousy brown jumper, almost the same shade as my hair and my huge fluufy blue hoodie bc its always cold in our house.
28) Summer or winter?
Winter all the way.
29) Hugs or kisses?
Hugs.
30) What book are you currently reading?
Technically I’m 1/3 of the way through Middlemarch by Elliot but that was at Christmas, I haven’t read anything else/more since.
31) Who do you miss right now?
Um... my friends? We could be having some great banter rn but given the weird nonsense that went down on our group chat yesterday (We semi accidentally plotted out a whole horror film where an actor I liked was actually a ghost, murdered by my now-ex-crush from school... it was very odd)... maybe that’s a good thing
32) What is on your mouse pad?
Like the mouse pad on my laptop...? Bc that would be my hands?
33) What is the last TV program you watched?
A Place To Call Home, the 1950s Australian Period Drama I am utterly hooked on at the moment.
34) What is the best sound?
My friends and I laughing until we’re crying and we just can’t stop.
35) Rolling Stones or the Beatles?
Rolling Stones. Try as I might, I have yet to like the Beatles.
36) What is the furthest you have ever traveled?
Well I was born in Houston, Texas and I now live in Scotland and I’ve travelled to Abu Dabi/Dubai so thats probably the furthest. 37) Do you have a special talent?
Watch me with a pair of knitting needles, teaching myself new stitches and attempting ridiculously complicated patterns just for the banter.
38) Where were you born?
The aforementioned Houston, Texas.
Tagging @dracogoestopigfarts7 @leoenjolras @biscuit-drivels @lady-lavandula and anyone else who wants to do it!

Taggin time folks
So it makes me super happy that @pineapplepond5 remembered I exist after months of inactivity and tagged me in a thing and I just wanna say thanks? That gave me such a warm fuzzy, I’m gonna do it.
Relationship Status: Single, but not without options, if you know what I mean…
Lipstick or Chapstick: Both? I use chapstick more bc ain’t nobody got time fo dat, but I also use it right before I put on lipstick so????
Last song I listened to: My YouTube history says “You Spin Me Round” by Dead or Alive. The music tape my baby brother’s watching says “Peace Like a River” by Cedarmont Kids. Take what you will from that.
Last movie I watched: I watched part of The Lego Movie with my younger siblings last night. The last full movie I watched was Tangled, also with the sibs. I’ll have more interesting answers once I get back to college 😂
Top 3 Shows: I don’t watch a lot of TV/Netflix but here goes nothin:
1. Gilmore Girls
2. Mythbusters (it counts right?)
3. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Top 3 Characters: In no particular order:
1. Luke Danes (Gilmore Girls): He’s one of those characters that tries to be tough and manly but is actually the biggest softie on the inside. As the show goes on, he really gets to where he wears his heart on his sleeve, and I just love him so much and want him to be happy
2. Sonic the Hedgehog (the character from the series of the same name): My first love lol. Sonic taught adolescent me so much about confidence and being who you are, and without him I wouldn’t be where I am today. He’s got all the heroic qualities (courageous, skilled, etc.) but he’s also a genuine sweetheart, good with kids, all that stuff. He’s a kid who really rose to a challenge, and who doesn’t love that kind of story?
3. Edward Elric (FMA): I’m not through with the show yet, but Ed never ceases to amaze me. Sonic’s “I’m a poor child who rose to greatness” story ain’t got nothing on this boy. He’s an amazing big brother to Al and an all-around good kid who’s been swept up into a bona-fide mess. Plus I can’t help but laugh every time someone calls him short or talks about Winry so there’s that lol
Top 3 Ships: Again, in no particular order:
1. Sonic and Amy (Sonic the Hedgehog): Again, my first real ship. It got out of hand in middle school and somehow I still love it. Sonic’s got the adventure and romantic streak Amy needs, and Amy’s got the 360 degree view and firmness Sonic needs. They’d have their share of problems, but they’d work it out and be super cute.
2. Luke and Lorelai (Gilmore Girls): YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER. Cuz they are. They’re probably the only two people in Stars Hollow who can keep up with each other and their witty banter is to die for. They’re so supportive of each other, and that’s not even a result of their relationship; the whole 4 seasons before they got together, they were practically best friends. That’s a really good sign, in my book.
3. Flynn/Eugene and Rapunzel (Tangled): Yes, a Disney couple. The way these two are developed as a pair is just stellar, and there’s no end to the list of good things they do for each other. Too perfect? Maybe, but that’s Disney for you. Plus I ran out of other ideas lol
TAGGIN’ TIME! (Only if you want to, friends!) @srvfan17 @moms-spaghettios and anyone else who cares to give this a whirl.
#sonic#gilmore girls#fma brotherhood#the lego movie#tangled#sonamy#luke and lorelai#edward elric#luke danes#flynn rider#rapunzel#sonic the hedgehog#tag games#hedgie speaks#the sad and sorry mess that is me
