edelweiss: how’d you think of your url/username? jasmine: do you have a movie or book you loved but will never watch/read again?

orchid: what’s a song you consider to be perfect? cactus: something you’re currently learning (about)?

Thank you for the ask!!!!

Edelweiss: How'd you think of your url/username? A: It's kind of silly. I wanted a more succinct username than the one I'd been using, so I was trying to do some word association, or just slapping words together to see what I liked. Deer are some of my favourite animals, so that's where Fawn came from (could not for the life of me tell the difference between 'fawn' and 'faun' so I just went with the former). And then I found the word 'joculatrix' (which, if the internet is to be believed, is the female form of the word jester/joculator) and was like "man that slaps" so I threw them together and boom!!! Fawnatrix was born. I also go by Fawn or Fawnie (<- nickname reserved for friends and beloved mutuals) cause they're cute and I like them ^-^

Jasmine: Do you have a movie or book you loved but will never watch/read again? A: Oh god. If I'm being completely honest with myself, it's the Harry Potter franchise. I grew up loving it so much; my dad was also super into it and got me into it as a kid. But I'm not some kind of pussy who clings to their childhood memories of a book franchise when 1) upon closer inspection said books are rife with racism/antisemitism/homophobia/etc (not gonna go into it all here cause so, so many people have explained it all better than I ever could. Shaun on YouTube has a great video encompassing a lot of the issues with the franchise here) and 2) the author is an active, vitriolic transphobe, who uses the money from said franchise to hurt people in your own community; your little guy (that's me!) is non-binary. I'll never read or support the Harry Potter franchise again because I know better, and also because the author despises me and my people personally.

On a lighter note. Orchid: What's a song you consider to be perfect? A: This is so tough because I love so many songs. They are all so beloved to me. Never Love an Anchor by The Crane Wives, Sunlight by Hozier, The Night We Met by Lord Huron, Liquid Smooth by Mitski, Poplar Street by Glass Animals, She Used to Be Mine from the musical Waitress, sung by Jessie Mueller..... my heart says to put every ABBA song down but I will restrain myself and pick one, which is Does Your Mother Know. I'm sorry I'm very indecisive.

Cactus: Something you're currently learning (about)? A: Not a whole lot, at them moment, ehehe. I've been embroidering a bit more, and I'm always eager to learn more about that. But aside from that, not a whole lot :)

Thanks again for the ask!!! I really appreciate it <3 I'm sorry my answers were so long ehehe :)
