i was tagged by the wonderful @choxchang, thanks so much leah!!

tagging: @burkesandborgin, @slyttherin, @crvdence, @mvlfxy, @swearwolflupin, @mugglepuffs, @nevelles, and @smlfoy, but no pressure to do this if you don’t want to or have done this already!!

marvel or dc:

i’ve never been much of a dc guy but marvel is fucking up so much with their major comics (secret empire ... nick spencer you can go kill yourself thanks bye) so i’m going to choose neither of those and just say image comics all the way

going to do a little promo here actually. if you are like me and enjoy science fiction, illegal racing, motorcycles, poc characters, and lgbtq+ themes, you should totally check out motor crush published by image comics. i just got the first trade today and it’s absolutely spectacular; the story is engaging, the characters are lovable, and the art is to die for. you’ll regret passing this one by at the comic book store

favourite of the golden trio:

ron weasley, probably

favourite of the fantastic quartet:

jacob kowalski hands fucking down

otp:

wolfstar, drarry, hedric, flintwood, mollthur, and tedromeda

notp:

remadora, anything with snape, anything with voldemort, anything with regulus (this is more for personal reasons, i see him as aro ace and so can’t really ship him with anyone), any ship that Exists because it is heterosexual (just that. no chemistry or logic or anything) or any ship that doesn’t make sense really

brotp:

all the slytherins ... draco, theo, blaise, pansy, millicent, crabbe & goyle, the greengrasses ...

hinny or linny?:

definitely linny, i don’t mind hinny but i honestly couldn’t care less

patil or weasley twins?:

the weasley twins

dursleys or malfoys?:

the malfoys

favourite hp book?:

the goblet of fire

favourite hp movie?:

the chamber of secrets

favorite musical?:

hamilton

tea or coffee?:

depends. both are good

favourite movies?:

the lord of the rings (this only counts as one) ... though i also love the godfather series, the star trek films, indiana jones, the cornetto trilogy ... some more highbrow stuff, leviathan (dir. andrey zvyagintsev), solaris (dir. andrey tarkovsky), etc.

favourite bands/artists?:

haha the impossible question. here’s a list of contemporary stuff, i’ll not bore everyone with the classical/jazz/blues i listen to. placebo, glass animals, kasabian, cage the elephant, one ok rock, the gazette, plastic tree, 9goats black out, nuteki, quest pistols show, the last shadow puppets, arctic monkeys, the glitch mob, son lux, the antlers, keaton henson, the wombats, anything by jack white honestly, the list goes on obviously

favourite book series?:

the lord of the rings by j.r.r. tolkien, the raven cycle by maggie stiefvater, the old kingdom trilogy by garth nix, a series of unfortunate events by lemony snicket, the matthew swift series by kate griffin, there’s probably more but i’m old and i forget

why is hp not on this list, you may ask? while i loved hp as a kid, as an adult who understands the world more i’ve somewhat lost my respect for jkr and her writing, so forgive me if it’s not one of my favourites anymore. i do still enjoy it though, but some parts are painful to read

favourite stand alone books?:

a moveable feast by ernest hemingway, all quiet on the western front by erich maria remarque, one hundred years of solitude by gabriel garcía márquez, slaughterhouse-five by kurt vonnegut, a clockwork orange by anthony burgess, the idiot by fyodor dostoevsky, kafka on the shore by haruki murakami, fight club by chuck palahniuk, the master and margarita by mikhail bulgakov, 1984 by george orwell

favourite youtuber?:

i don’t really watch youtube

celebrity crush?:

haha i don’t get crushes, i’m aromantic

fictional death you’re not over?:

i’m over all of them, really. at this point i’ve gotten used to characters dying, and i kill off so many of other people’s characters in fic and my own characters in my writing anyway that it would be hypocritical of me to remain bitter about some author killing off their character. i’m mostly not over poorly-written characters, more than dead characters

favourite tv shows?:

star trek, the x files, brooklyn nine nine, parks and recreation, hannibal, the young pope, galileo

book you loved as a child?:

the pendragon series by d.j. machale, anything by darren shan, the old kingdom trilogy by garth nix, anything by sir terry pratchett, percy jackson and the olympians by rick riordan, a series of unfortunate events by lemony snicket, goosebumps by r.l. stine, anything by keigo higashino, ghost blows out the light by muye zhang

cats or dogs?:

cats

[derrickperegrine]

reb u had me at 🐉. also 📕 + u know me better than like 90% of the people ive ever met, but here's a thing: i have an incredible fear of heights, especially when At Speed, so as much as i like to say i'd play quidditch and be a beater, i would probably start crying if anyone even pointed a broom at me

hgkdjflsghdf i should have known about that emoji

best classes:

history of norse ‘mythology’: the study of the ancient gods and their magic. this class covers the history of the world before man, and the ancient traditions and magics surrounding the worship of these deities

herbology for alchemy: the study of unique plants such as iðunn’s apples and greek lotus trees, and the applications of these plants in modern alchemy shut up i know that durmstrang is technically ‘scandinavia’ but??? what about the fucking baltics?? jkr you have terrible geography i’m roping the mediterranean into this who the fuck knows where odysseus fucking went when he found the lotus eaters

summoning magic: a branch of defense against the dark arts that concerns allying with magic sentient beings to defend against greater evils in a common environment

worst classes:

defense against malicious creatures: the art of defending oneself against the harm of magical beings that are harmful to human beings

eagle riding: a course designed to lend students the ability to see through the eyes of eagles and other various raptors and control their motions you said you didn’t like heights

elective courses:

superstition divination: the art of spotting unlucky omens and lucky signs in order to predict the future

training of the mastiffs: the care of gigantic dogs that are used to both defend the school and serve the needs of students (destress, comfort, fun, transport)

extracurricular activities:

quidditch commentator: this one is self explanatory

painting transfiguration: the use of magical painting in order to physically transfigure one item into another – i.e., painting a tree into a dryad

additional duties:

head boy: this one is self explanatory

captain of the sailing team: student first mate on the durmstrang ship, in charge of maintaining its integrity and also cataloguing other ships and magical creatures it encounters during its trips

favourite haunts:

the whispering forest: half-ancient, unknowable magical forest, half-manmade forest in order to cater to the needs of various herbology, potions, and alchemy classes

star-shooting tower: special practice room with enchanted stars on the ceiling and walls for students to practice their dueling skills – particularly their aiming abilities

pet: caucasian shepherd dogshort drabble:

there’s no place like durmstrang. although some may call its utilitarian medieval buildings ugly, you think that it has its own charm – it resembles something out of a story that’s already dead, something so old that time doesn’t even have a name for it.

you love the stirring silence of it, the sound of trees growing in the background, the soft lapping of the moat around the main campus, the rustling of the heavy red robes of serious students, walking briskly to their next class.

you love the crackling in its air, the pure magic that you have not yet learn to control, the treasure that is just beyond the tips of your fingers. you love the heavy, unsaid spells resting like dew between the lips of promising students. you love the suspense between two classes.

you love the static feeling it evokes in you, over-warm with exposure to so many fantastic things, your interests constantly jumbling together, mixing altogether like some sort of primordial alchemy from which the first wizard arose. you love how it doesn’t define anything – how it allows you to be just about anything. there’s no strict ‘herbology,’ ‘potions’, ‘transfiguration’, ‘divination’ or any nonsense of that sort – everything is connected to everything else, and borders are always blurred. why bother trying to separate something that has inevitably grown together?

you love durmstrang because it’s a living, breathing thing. with each year, it changes its curriculum according to the interests and needs of its students. it offers new classes that schools around the world would never dream of teaching. it teaches ‘forbidden arts’ and ‘dark magic’ because it knows that nothing is truly dark, and that the only dark thing about this would be its death at the hands if inattention.

you close your eyes, and breathe in the cool, stony scent of your school. it fills you from head to toe with excitement, but also peace in knowing that it will always be here for you. it is the gift that keeps giving, the tree of golden apples. you reach out and pluck one from its branches, and crush its crisp fruit between your teeth. so this is what magic feels like

song: i’m sorry i wanted to give you an Aesthetic song but you know me, i’m a Meme and i’m Eurotrash so, i bring you – hard rock hallelujah by lordi. a eurovision classic though tbh if you want a real song i can give you that too gjkdfljslkdghlksdjf

leah’s questions:

1. favorite color, and favorite things you associate with that color?

forest green - sweaters, oil painting, books, earl grey tea, christmas

god i’ve read a lot of good books recently ... but most recently kafka on the shore by murakami haruki, after my mom nagging me to read it for half a decade lmao

3. how emotional are you right now?

not at all. i’m a generally speaking not very emotional? i only get angry.

4. what do you wish you were doing?

i really miss japan and i wish i were back there taking advantage of the best public transport systems in the world and eating cheap but great food haha

5. if you could eat any junk food right now what would it be?

chips with curry sauce! god do i miss british chip shops now

6. does pineapple go on pizza?

yes? i used to work at a pizza restaurant and one of my go-to pizzas was a white pizza with sriracha chicken, picked red onions, and pineapple, then sprinkled with green onions and drizzled in sriracha and mayo

7. describe the most recent photo on your phone?

it’s a picture of dave bayley from glass animals i drew that i was showing @slyttherin lmfao

8. can you lucid dream? what’s it like?

i don’t think so? i don’t really remember any of my dreams.

9. how would you define your current taste in music?

really a mix of everything?? as per usual?? i’m still listening to the japanese alternative/metal/shoegaze/noise pop stuff i was into when i was a teenager, but i also listen to anglophone indie and alternative music? and blues and disco? and at the same time i’m still hardcore vibing to german experimental/nu wave music? but i also listen to (embarrassingly) at least two hours of russian dance pop everyday?? i just listen to everything man

10. temperature-wise currently, are you hot or cold, or just right?

too hot. summer is literally the worst lmao

11. are you hydrated?

more or less!

laika’s questions:

1. what’s the last song played on your itunes/ipod?

nests, keaton henson

2. if you can travel back in time or travel into a film or book, which one will it be and why?

this is a lame answer lmao but i probably would want to travel into the harry potter universe? i’ve always wished that life was a little more extraordinary for me

3. have you ever been curious of how other people’s minds work?

yes! for a while in high school i wanted to pursue a career as a forensic psychiatrist

4. on the scale of one to ten, how crazy is your family?

probably a two? my immediate family isn’t crazy at all, but my uncle’s family is whack. the only two weird people in my family are me and my brother

5. if you were given a million dollars, what would you do with it and why?

probably find a better apartment in the city and live there. if i go to grad school in the city, that is. the rest of the money i would donate to my alma mater and my grad school because universities always need more money

6. what’s the oldest film that you have ever seen?

probably lev kuleshov’s the extraordinary adventures of mr. west in the land of the bolsheviks (необычайные приключения мистера веста в стране большевиков)? it was released in the soviet union in 1924

7. which country would you like to visit and why?

i haven’t visited most of eastern europe yet (i’ve only been to the czech republic) and i’d love to go

8. are europeans cute? or do you find europeans cute?

9. black or white?

*looks at my completely dark closet* black, probably

10. how hot is your country/state right now?

it’s really hot. the sun is shining through my window and i am Suffering

11. lastly, would you read a book where the main character is asexual? non-binary? trans? etc?

considering that i am asexual and agender it would be very hypocritical of me not to read a book like that, haha. yeah, of course i’ll read it

my questions:

if you were to choose one album to be the soundtrack of your life, what would you choose?

you’re given a choice between two objects: pick the sword and you will live a legendary life, however it will be fraught with conflict and violence; pick the cup and you will live an uneventful, but peaceful and fulfilling life. which object do you choose?

if you could make any cryptid or mythological creature real, which one would you choose?

which hp book is your least favourite, and why? the cursed child doesn’t count as canon

if you could write any book you liked or shoot any film you wanted, what would your book/film be about?

moons or stars?

which artistic movement (impressionism, surrealism, renaissance, art nouveau, baroque, etc. etc.) describes your ideal aesthetic the best?

what’s your favourite thing to drink during the summer?

if you could travel across time and witness any historical event, which one would you want to see?

if you could make a single thing from the hp universe real, what would you pick?
