#tbh if i were getting into the mcu now i don't think i would've stuck with it

[chaeul]

I was tagged by my lovely friends @lilmaemae, @jez-bez and @ella-norah to share a few things about myself

It was fun getting to know more abut you ♥ My turn now :shy:

Do you tidy your bed? Yes. I didn't always but as I've gotten older and life became more hectic, I've started to appreciate the sense of peace and calm a tidy, neat looking room can give. Also if I didn't make my bed I'd be sleeping in cat hair :D No amount of trying to get rid of it will get rid of it all. With my bed made, at least the hair stays on my blanket as opposed to underneath it

What's your favorite number? Even numbers are must. There are many that I like but the most important ones are 4 (can't explain this one and 22 (back in elementary school each kid had a number associated with them; mine was 22 and it stuck. I also enjoy that it's the same backwards and forwards

What is your job? I wfh doing administrative tasks for a physiotherapist's office and I'm one of two official caretakers for my grandparents (not technically a job but it does count towards my state pension)

If you could go back to school, would you? I mostly enjoyed school. So much so that my plan was to become a teacher, actually. Uni on the other hand wasn't for me. I wonder if it would've been different if my mental and physical health hadn't plummeted back then. Considering I'm not doing much better rn, I would not go back to uni, no.

Can you parallel park? Technically yes, but I do have performance anxiety about it and I'd rather not (and I won't on busy streets). I much prefer parking in a parking lot with cars to my left and right instead of in front and behind me.

A job you had that would surprise people? I don't think there is one

Do you think aliens are real? I'm sure there's life out there somewhere. Or that there was or will be at some point in the future. Do I believe that life to be similar to us humans? No, not really.

Can you drive a manual car? I learned and got my license on a manual car but we've ever only owned automatic ones so I that's what I've been driving ever since I got my license. A few months of manual vs 16+years of automatic... I don't trust myself to be able to still drive manual

What's your guilty pleasure? I think I've reached a point in my life where I don't really feel guilty or ashamed about anything I find pleasure in tbh. At least not that I can think of rn.

Tattoos? None

Favorite color? aqua, lavender, a deep rich red and a warm orange

Favorite type of music? there are barely any genres I actively dislike and maaaaaaaaany that I enjoy but there can be too much of a good thing, so variety is important (in the grand scheme of things! because I enjoy listening to the same song on loop for hours, sometimes even days too) and it's hard to pick a favorite. But I certainly do love musical soundtracks as well as quite a bit of everything kpop has to offer

Do you like puzzles? depends on the difficulty. if it's too hard or I can't even come up with a possible way to solve them I lose interest

Any phobias? wasps and dentists

Favorite childhood sport? I'm not sure if there's a difference in definition of the word 'sport' between German and English or if it's a diifference between the world and me but to me, a sport is any sort of activity that requires a certain amount of physical effort. I know many don't consider dancing a sport but it is to me. Many different types of dance were my favorite sport in childhood and they're still important to me now

Do you talk to yourself? I talk to my cat when I'm at home and sometimes I narrate things to her. That's pretty much the same thing isn't it? Other than that I don't talk to myself out loud but I do it in my head sometiimes

What movie(s) do you adore? there are simply too many to choose from and I'm not that into movies. I much prefer tv shows. But I've seen you all mentioning Tangled and that certainly is my favorite Disney movie among the ones that came out since I became an adult. Plus I did enjoy the mcu movies before everything went downhhill

Coffee or tea? neither iced tea

First thing you wanted to be growing up? I don't remember the very first thing exactly but I had dreams of being a teacher, a vet, a musical theatre performer... the list goes on

I you're seeing this, consider yourself tagged! ♥

okay ur so right but I'd also like to say that this show didn't really GET TO ME like gomens did and the writing was BAD but for a mcu show it was so fun and I think the concepts they tried to explore in the the show are really interesting.

going into the show knowing it's a marvel production made me have to rephrase my usual thoughts abt this show, as in it certainly meant I had less questions as many could be answered with "oh bc it's marvel what did u expect" lmao

so. here's a really badly compiled list of what I think abt s2

hmm Sylvie didn't so much feel like a character than something they wanted to be this 'big controversy' and maybe that has a lot to do with the fact that that's what she became??? idk I felt like at the end, her original values had completely vanished. like her entire plotline was kinda unnecessary and idk idk i think u put it best she was nuked, this was the case for both seasons I just don't think the producers even looked at her as a character I think they might've put together a storyline and slapped her name in the middle of it.

oml as much as i wish there would've been more Norse mythology references, I loved that the timelines were revealed to be yggdrasil and the fact that loki was at the heart of it made the whole thing sm better!!

UR SO RIGHT abt it giving go2 ending which is why i think there is a likely s3 in preparation. which is to say, there were many loose ends (Mobius) and lokius seemed so unfinished that if there isn't a s3, would be a really rushed ending. even Loki's ending could be further explored I mean yeah he's the god of stories but that the end of his own??? AND MOBIUS IS JUST STUCK IN TIME WAITING????? these are all STAR potential stories that could be leading up to a 3rd and final season tbh.

yeah I liked that they broke the 'one biiiig villain comes in a destroys everything that the hero now has to live through' or whatever the mcu just LOVES doing. although the way this was structured, most people outside of the gang felt pointless (what was the point of Ramona and miss minutes??? she's also a great potential focus point for s3 btw) but the gang itself only felt like 'the gang' bc loki loved them all. which imo was supposed to convey his selfishness??? like even when he's lonely and wants his friends back he is still being selfish?????? which is why lokius felt more real bc that was the only relationship this season that didn't feel so imbalanced.

yeahh they're coming back and I REALLY wanna know how they're going to further open up the topic of the tva (and as a result lokius) and maybe actually focus on making Sylvie a good character.... there's still time....... hopefully the potential s3 can finally understand the importance of good characterisation!!!

NYX have you by any chance watched loki more specifically s2 👀

I HAVE!!! i watched it while it was coming out!!! WHAT DO U THINK ABT THE FINALE 👀👀 I HAVE SO MANY OPINIONS
