#thanks for the questions :)

[marianchurchland]

I was tagged by @deedala (shoutout to the old BSN) for birthday themed questions <3

And since there's some overlapping relevance, here's my birthday want list from a few months ago, which just happens to contain a little bit of DA fanart (all my dragon age wishes were indeed granted, thank you very kindly).

When is yours? June 15th

Where were you born? Vancouver, Canada

How do you feel about your legal name? Are you using it online and/or IRL? I’m fine with my name – and I definitely use it online. I don't think it's ideal, but I’ve never come up with a handle that I like enough to stick with.

How about your sign? Do you feel it "fits"? No, although my main associations come from people in high school reading me my horoscope out of Seventeen magazine, and it being something along the lines of, “girl, you’ve got the gift of the gab! You’re the life of every party!” Thank you, Seventeen, but wrong on all counts.

What's your earliest memory related to your birthday? My parents hosted a birthday party for me when I was maybe four or five years old, and as soon as the cake emerged and everyone started singing “Happy Birthday”, I buried my head under my arms and refused to come out. And when you think about it, having a bunch of people all staring at you and smiling and singing your name in unison IS, actually, very strange and uncomfortable...

What's one of the best gifts you've ever received? Every shiny that anyone has ever sent or given to me!

How about one of the best you've given yourself? I think that an excellent gift blueprint involves choosing a book that you like (and which you think the receiver might also like), and then collecting a few treats that might pair well with it and turning it all into a small care package. Example selection: your favourite fantasy book plus a box/batch of cookies plus a package of nice tea or coffee plus a stubby beeswax candle plus a random treasure object (nice stone or little animal figurine or dried flower, etc.) And in case I misinterpreted the question, I think it also works well as a gift to yourself. (I made a Patreon post that expanded on this a while back, so I'll link it here, too.)

What's your favourite cake flavour? Dark fruit cake! 2kg of raisins drowned and left to rot in sin.

How about your favourite flowers? All the common weedy wildflowers in my area, like yarrow and foxgloves. I also I stop to smell every rose I see. Personal best practice.

Have your ever thrown a birthday party? If yes, tell us about your favourite one. No, and I pity anyone whose birthday pleasures rely on my party-throwing skills.

What's the ultimate birthday song? I’ll say “Come Undone” by Duran Duran, because “happy birthday to you” is in the opening few lines (and also because I love this song). Beyond that, I’m drawing a blank.

And last but not least, pick a celebrity with whom you share your birthday. Ice Cube!

I'm scared to tag anybody I don't know well, so with zero pressure: @klovharun and @unstablemable, who can at least tell me no in person.

A little friend for the frog? Perhaps a snail, or jumping spider!

He's a very lonely frog I'm afraid.

can you explain aplatonic and loveless please? Is loveless mostly a political commentary on amatonormativity, or is there more to it that I’m missing?

“Loveless Aro describes someone who is on the aromantic spectrum that is in some way disconnected from the concept of love, does not feel love, may doubt that they feel love, or rejects the idea that they need to experience love. This may be as a result of neurodivergence or trauma, but isn't always.” Source

and aplatonic is when a person does not experience platonic attraction.

I hope this clears some things up :)

If you want more info on things surrounding aplatonics, I recommend @our-aplatonic-experience.

I should have a question regarding about cherry red crunch and blood. When price is mentioned why a staff Sargent AKA the reader father, was able to part the reader into the institutie at a very early stage of presenting as an Omega. Was it because the reader's father was threatened to give her up by his higher-ups or was there alternative motivate for reader taken from her family pack?

Mmm this one I can't say much about without spoiling a lot later on, but typically when omegas present, if they're going to be sent to an institute by their family pack (or whoever has guardianship over them as a pup) it's typically done very soon around the time of presentation. Like, usually the omega will go through the presentation process and then shortly after they'll be sent to an institution. We're talking like a week, maybe two max between presentation and being sent. It's a fairly quick process, but the fact that the reader got in so quickly...that's kind of where there's the big question mark. Especially such a prestigious institute as the one she was sent to.

That's about all I can give away at this point, but this is something that will come up later and pretty much everything will be explained in the fic since it's going to play a very important role in the story later on.

🍄♻️🤔🛠️❤️ for the ask game :3

🍄 Describe your wip/one of your wips in the format of “___ + ___ =___” Eh, I'll do a little teasing for Heart thumps ch 8 :> Giant + Koi fish pond = a really bad time

♻️A scrapped idea for your current WIP I was going to add a sub plot where Jason was going to have to deal with an asshole of a higher up that Natasha was training who was bullying him. It would have ended up with Jason standing up for Natasha when he said vulgar shit when they were alone and scared off scumbag with the giant power. Though I scrapped it because it didn't fit with the flow of the story beats I have planned and it's just not very interesting tbh.

🤔What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet? Ah man too many ideas I wanna do but got no time. I think the one I want to write the most is about a bride being saved from a cruise by a kaiju half-octopus mermaid and it's sapphic as hell.

🛠Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now? Every time I open up a document it's a battle between my will to create and ADHD.

❤️Not a question, just a second kudos to send. Omg thank you! :D

10 and 26 for the fic ask game!

10 The longest amount of time I let a draft rest before finishing

Oh months!!!! Many many month! Sometimes I finish but feel like something is missing or I'm just really not happy with it and then I come back to it and often find myself thinking 'that's not so bad actually, what was my problem?'

The longest might have been my Trolls 3 One Shot. I had that finished almost immediately after the movie came out but I couldn't think of a way to end it. Came back to it like 5 months later and added 5 sentences and boom. Finished.

26 Can I write when other people are around?

Hah yeah! I do that all the time on the train. I just make the font reaaaaaally small and turn down the brightness on my phone and off I go. If I couldn't write on the train I wouldn't get nearly as much done

[graft-the-hive]

NO I CANT DO ANYONYMSOUR ASKS AHHH anyway 🩵, 💘 and 💖 for the ask game.. 😼 (I love the song question sm)

harper here to answer theseee, if you want someone specific to answer anything then just say so, hi zack

🩵 - do you think that the fandoms representation of your source character is accurate, or do you dislike it?

- honestly? im not sure, we don’t interact a large amount with the cccc fandom so I don’t have a big view of how people see ‘me’ (Heart.) though I do dislike when people tend to baby my source, or any of us for that matter, but I don’t see it often

- I know maya dislikes how he’s portrayed most of the time though, he can elaborate on that later if he wants because I don’t rlly care enough to transcribe his feeling on it

💘 - do you have a "theme song"/a song you think represents you well?

- yes, ‘The Fool’ by neutral milk hotel. it doesn’t have any words but I really like it, it’s calming. and it feels like how I feel if that makes any sense

💖 - do you like fronting? why or why not?

- i guess? I tend to ‘front’ more than the others and it’s better than being alone anyhowww. I don’t really have any particular feeling of it one way or the other

FACE & FEATURES - glance: At first glance, what stands out most about your OC's appearance? What's their distinguishing feature? stillness: How does your OC act while still? Are they fidgety? Do they have any common gestures or tics? Does their clothing affect how they hold themselves while at rest? canvas: Does your OC have any scars, piercings, tattoos, or other markings? Do they display or cover them up at all? CUT & CLOTHES - night: What does your OC wear to sleep? Do they have a favorite pair of PJs, or are they more the birthday suit type? outerwear: What's your OC's outerwear situation? Jacket, sweater, cloak? What sort of weather do they deal with most and how do they protect themselves? footwear: What does your OC wear on their feet? arms: Does your OC have any weapons? What weapons do they carry, and how do they wear them when they're not fighting? ACCESSORIES & ACCENTS - bling: What jewelry does your OC wear? Does it have any meaning? hair: How does your OC wear their hair? Does it have some kind of meaning? favorite: Does your OC have a favorite article of clothing or accessory? What is it? What's the meaning behind it? Do they wear it all the time or do they wear it sparingly to keep it safe?

FACE & FEATURES - glance: At first glance, what stands out most about your OC's appearance?

Her red hair and tall height.

stillness: How does your OC act while still? Are they fidgety? Do they have any common gestures or tics? Does their clothing affect how they hold themselves while at rest?

She definitely gets fridgety after a while. If waiting sitting on a chair, she’ll constantly shift her position or bounce her legs.

canvas: Does your OC have any scars, piercings, tattoos, or other markings? Do they display or cover them up at all?

She has none of that. But had the outbreak not happened she probably would have gotten some tattoos. She’s the type for that.

CUT & CLOTHES - night: What does your OC wear to sleep? Do they have a favorite pair of PJs, or are they more the birthday suit type?

Pre-outbreak she'd wear PJ shorts and a camisole in the summers or a warm overall in the winters. Now she sleeps in her clothes so in case something happens, she can leave in practical clothes.

outerwear: What's your OC's outerwear situation? Jacket, sweater, cloak? What sort of weather do they deal with most and how do they protect themselves?

She prefers leather jackets and denim jackets because they’re harder to bite through. Gwendolyn avoids clothes that can easily get caught in a fight with the dead, so anything too loose is off the table. Most of the time the weather isn’t too crazy, but she will always seek shelter ASAP if a storm is coming.

footwear: What does your OC wear on their feet?

Combat boots, hiking boots, running shoes. Anything that is suitable when you have to walk a lot. Before the apocalypse she sometimes wore heels, but she isn’t gonna wear those anymore.

arms: Does your OC have any weapons? What weapons do they carry, and how do they wear them when they're not fighting?

She always has weapons on her. They’re crucial. She has two knives, a pistol and shotgun on her. The shotgun she wears slung over her shoulder with a tactical sling and her knife and pistol are holstered. A back-up knife in a boot sheath in case she ever gets her stuff stolen and needs to defend herself.

ACCESSORIES & ACCENTS - bling: What jewelry does your OC wear? Does it have any meaning?

She wears a paracord bracelet someone from her old group gifted her. If she ever needs some cord she can unravel it.

hair: How does your OC wear their hair? Does it have some kind of meaning?

Most of the time she wears her hair tied back so it doesn’t get in the way.

favorite: Does your OC have a favorite article of clothing or accessory? What is it? What's the meaning behind it? Do they wear it all the time or do they wear it sparingly to keep it safe?

Her favorite article of clothing is a leather jacket she found. It’s durable and looks good.

20, 22 & 44. ☺️

Oooo good ones

20. Favorite movie would probably be either young Frankenstein or Shawshank redemption

22. If you mean alcoholic it’s a vodka ginger. If you mean just any ole drink it’s either water or iced tea

44. I don’t really have a “favorite” tv show since streaming kinda makes it hard to do so. I have a lot of shows that i enjoy though.

[return-of-the-trinidude]

8, 12, 16, 24 for the ask game

8. About someone I think is cute - Cutest person in my life right now is my sister's three year-old niece. She is such an adorable little goober. She has the habit of staring full in the face when she doing something she knows she shouldn't be doing, like she daring you to stop her lol. A really sweet kid.

12. About my parents - My parents are doing fine. They're have their squabbles every now and then, but much less than in the past. I think they've finally understand each other's idiosyncrasies. Took them 30 something years of marriage but at least they finally did it.

16. Something I like about my personality - This is something that I hadn't noticed until recently, but I'm a very approachable person. People find it very easy to talk to me about things, and often comment on how comfortable they are around me. I don't know if this is a new development or is something I never paid attention to because I was too down on myself.

24. An unusual talent I have - I am very good a reading something and the rewriting it with completely different wording and phrasing. I once saved a group presentation by researching and rewriting our powerpoint while the other groups were presenting, and got us the second highest mark in the class. Really proud of that one.

[toomanyplanets]

1, 10, 14, 15! :D

1. Do you have freckles?

Yes I have a ton of freckles, more now even since it’s the summer. But I barely go in the sun so they don’t get as dark as they probably could

10. How tall are you?

5’2” everyone is taller than me

14. What's your favorite color?

I usually say black but when people say that doesn’t count I say purple

15. What’s your favorite season?

The end of fall when it’s turning into winter, I like the cold and I even love the snow but I like that time the most.

♡ asks ♡

My country’s annual music festival , the winner gets to go to Eurovision , I wasn’t that thrilled at the winner not gonna lie

Currently watching:

A classic YouTuber called Chuggaaconroy’s playthrough of Pokémon Black and White 2 . I was feeling nostalgic and It’s nice to see he’s still doing what he loves

[fracktastic]

Hey friend! Asking you the fun asks. ❤️❤️ 8, 12, and 28

8. Almost never remember my dreams, so not that I'm aware of

12. Have your estate planning shit sorted out to a degree appropriate to your life circumstances. Yes, it is unpleasant to think about, but it will make life so much simpler for the people you leave behind, especially at a time when they're already stressed and upset.

Also, if possible, avoid buying a home with an HOA

28. Art supplies and plot bunnies.

[lonesome-witching]

4, 5, 7 for question game

THANKS FOR THE QUESTIONS!!!

4) What is my favorite book?

This is a surprisingly hard question. It's been too long since I've read anything. At least anything that weren't papers for school. The Unspoken Name by A.K. Larkwood is the first thing that popped in my mind. I really wish I could say something cooler.

5) What is something I'm insecure about?

There is a lot of shit I'm insecure about. I think one of the major things is my weight because my family used to remind me I needed to lose weight and it kind of embedded itself in my mind.

7) 5 female celebrity crushes?

Let's see

Maya Hawke

Natalia Dyer

Susan Sarandon

Renée Rapp

Chappell Roan

Those are pretty basic but they were the first I thought of.

Ask me a question

[sassykinzonline]

Since you are Sasuke uchiha, what’s your universe like? Is it like the canon ones? Or is it different?Whats the “relationship” like? Are you with Sakura, or with someone else?

If boruto went to the past(shippuden) and for some reason fought Naruto, who would win? If boruto was older.

If you were to spend time(the whole day) with only 2 people, who would you chose, and why?

everything's the same, i guess more modern than you expect because the manga doesnt really focus on our more "casual" moments. for example, people seem to be under the impression we didnt have computers and internet. we did. its just that in the age of war it's not the most secure thing so at the time, a lot of people didnt have them in their homes. there was an internet cafe, and there are computers in the hokage tower. i spent time at the internet cafe when i couldnt sleep until i left konoha. i had a tv in my room too, and thats how im aware of a lot of shows and stuff. i had it on in the background when i was working out or studying.

right now im with naruto. i hope it stays that way. sakura and i currently dont speak beyond work matters because we had a...disagreement. we live together, we're mostly like you see in the manga and some of the anime fillers (yes ive read the manga and seen the anime, i was curious 😒). we get along way more than you expect, naruto is a bit quieter and im a bit more...social? lighthearted? than you would expect, but i understand they needed to play up the "rivalry" element to our relationship. naruto works as something like a diplomat, and i work as something like his advisor. so i get to stay home most of the time. i didnt really want to see combat as much after everything, and neither did naruto. we're focusing on our ambition to fix the shinobi world. oh also, after the naruto manga ends, things aredifferent for me than the light novels and boruto manga show. all that stuff i think is just what the studio/publisher wanted to make money off of.

i dont see naruto having a response to uzuhiko. maybe because his chakra rotates in both directions, uzuhiko is less effective? im not sure but either way if he gets hit by uzuhiko, unless he manages to KO boruto first or get him to deactivate it, naruto will have to tap out. removing uzuhiko from the equation, if naruto was able to tie with me, then he could probably tie with or beat boruto off pure tenacity. from what ive read of boruto, seems like hes smarter than naruto but a bit weak in spirit.

itachi and naruto. they get along, i like them both, im comfortable around them. just thinking about it makes me....happy.

[fairly-tragic]

0, 9, 41?

0. Height: 4’11

9. Got any piercings? *see answer in other ask. It was a long explanation LOL but yes

41. Where I want to be right now: well I’m currently laying in my bed so I’d say I’m exactly where I want to be 😂
