3, 13, 8? :)

send me one of these awesome rqg asks made by ceaselessrainfall!

3 - who is your favorite character to draw/write/daydream about? why?

i answered this here, basically its sasha and hamid bc i love them.

amusingly i was writing a fic involving the two of them and bertie just decided to invite himself over into hamid’s apartment and therefore the fic; he’s awful but it’s also genuinely enjoyable to write about someone who’s that unselfconscious. it’s also interesting to write bc i at least hc that he genuinely cares about hamid on some level, and hamid’s having a pretty bad time at this point in the fic and really needs a friend... bertie is not that friend, because he’s bertie, but he’s pretty much what hamid has no matter how trash he is. writing that balance of hamid clinging to him bc friend! and bertie almost reaching the floor of decency but just. utterly failing is a fun challenge.

13 - if you could choose one of the specials to be expanded into a 7-10 episode miniseries, which would you choose?

confession: i still havent listened to quite a few of the later specials, so i'm picking from a somewhat limited pool. that being said, i think my answer would have to be 4thought. 'other people in your head' is one of my favorite tropes, and i really enjoyed the characters that alex, helen, and ben came up with and the interplay between them. (arian was also great but those three big egos knocking against each other was delightful.) i also just really want to know what the deal was with the necklace and the priesthoods and everything.

8 - what tidbit of character backstory/mystery from a pc’s past most tantalizes you?

well after the metacast, freaking grizzop's clutch? like, ben??? what????

but i'm also really interested in learning more about how zolf's family was connected to the harlequins, and just generally what that organization was actually like. i'm especially intrigued by the little bit in their first encounter with earhart where she mentions that zolf's parents basically left the organization, but feryn re-entered, and that while his parents did logistics and planning as did rakefine, she doesn't actually know what feryn did-- and then soon after, we're told that they were spades and that prague and the ruling council there were also spades. (i really want to know what the suits mean; are they equivalent but rival parts of the same organization? specialized branches with different skillsets? so many questions...) 

i have a pet theory that will probably never be confirmed that feryn was somehow involved in bolla smok's death, and just generally i want to know how the prague council accomplished that murder and covered it up.

hey there, i just read your fics let the soft animal of your body, and washing machine hearts and i love them! so much! just so soft, food *is* a love language and it works so well for jon and martin. and i

thank you so much !!!! food as a love language is one of my favorite tropes and both of those fics were so fun to write so i’m glad you enjoyed them <33

[lengthy-artery]

Hey Crunchy, so I've been meaning to message you for a while. Just to say I've lost count of how many times I've re-read Twine and The Descriptivist's Approach, I love them so much, they're something calming and comforting and brilliant to cling onto when the rest of my life is stressful so thank you! Also in love with The Mycelium Effect and The House on Tealeaf Hill, so thank you for writing

xfchgfvdj thank you for sending this!!! I’m so so glad that you enjoy my fics and that you’ve not only read them but that you choose to read them again! That really means a lot to me ^-^

violettstars replied to your post: i have been lowkey waiting for something to break...

you should absolutely just go anyway! honestly i wish there was one near me so i could go tell them i think they’re cool :) also idk if you want to volunteer there but they might want people who can repair clothes and furniture?

i really want to! just trying to get over the damned social anxiety. i read a little about repair cafes and they vary a lot regarding how welcoming they feel to amateurs, but there’s no reason to be shy preemptively. also there’s even a couple more in my area apparently https://repaircafe.org/en/visit/ so even if the atmosphere turns out to be intimidatingly techbro i could go somewhere else

i guess i won’t know whether they need volunteers, or whether they repair non-electronic stuff there until i ask them. i subconsciously assumed that fixing and changing furniture is something people just do at home, but then i helped my mother build from scratch shelves when i was little and she made my brother a custom triangular table for his room and so on, so i should probably not take that for granted and tell her how cool she is when i see her next

Soooo the little Molly/Caleb thing you posted started... something. And now I am desperately trying to find more about them without *too* many spoilers (I'm on episode 20). (I already know what Happens to Molly). Uh yep, basically thanks kinda, and also I really liked it, such a sweet portrayal of them

[scream] this is the best

i feel like if you know what Happens there aren’t many more spoilers? you’re more likely to mistake popular fanon as canon :’)

lucky for you i just posted another drabble which you might like ;) or you might judge me forever cause it’s diiirty and i like never write that shit...

ok seeing as tumblr hates me i'm gonna send this in multiple parts? so hopefully you'll get it all?? i think the rest of the message was something like: supportive jon is

also enjoyed the lucozade discourse in the comments lol. 2. if you want more cultural exchange re: saltines, as someone who’s lived in the uk their whole life, i’d be happy to offer my saltine-related services :)

@violettstars the way that tumblr STILL cut off ur thought about supportive jon..... :(

the lucozade discourse was such a funny byproduct of this fic like im glad there are some heated opinions abt it like there are gatorade (blue and white reign supreme). i would Love to hear ur thoughts on saltines! is that like not a thing there, was writing saltines in an obvious tell that im from the states???

thank u for messaging im so happy u liked my fic!!!!! 💖

Once you get this it would be cool if you posted ten facts about yourself and then passed this along to your ten favorite followers :)

I gave up playing the violin when I was about ten and it’s one of my biggest regrets that I didn’t stick it out

I have been to 5 states - New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Maryland. (Possibly drove though a little bit of Delaware also? I’m not 100% sure.)

I have two tattoos and five piercings.

I have a birthmark on my knee shaped like a long cross, and I call it my dagger.

I’ve wanted to be ginger since I was about...nine, I think?

I’m a slut for pumpkin spice and I don’t care who knows it. My first pies will be made very soon, and I can’t wait.

I saw Les Mis on Broadway before it closed and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I have my ticket, my Playbill, and a cockade I bought all in a shadow box. 

I don’t smoke, but I did have my first cigarette out the end of a retro cigarette holder while dressed like Holly Golightly.

The first time I read The Great Gatsby, I finished it on a packed rush-hour train and openly cried my heart out.

I hated all nuts for roughly 20 years solid, then I was made to try a Reeses Cup, and I’ve been edging myself into liking them ever since. (Moving from “If I see these near my food, I will hyperventilate”, to “I can only eat a small amount of these, and only pureed, and only covered in chocolate”, to “I can eat mixed handfuls of these raw.” was a very weird thing to experience.). Cashews, sugared almonds, and BBQ pistachios are my favourites.

Rules: Answer all the questions in a new post and then tag 15 people.

5 things you’ll find in my bag: my purse, 5 lipsticks minimum, a book, my glasses (loose, and scratched.), pens

5 things you’ll find in my bedroom: more and more and more books, postcards of cool places i’ve been to, more funko figures than i should have reasonably ever bought between 2014 - 2016, lots of plaid shirts, and fairy lights

5 things I’ve always wanted to do: become fluent in at least one other language, raise a family, go to The House On The Rock in Wisconsin, see The Killers live, have my own cat.

5 things that make me happy: my succulents, rainy days inside, tea in my favourite mug with a good book, looking at holiday pictures, getting compliments from old ladies at work, and creme brulee. 

5 things I’m currently into: Black Sails, Star Wars, Dragon Age, Dream Daddy, and unfortunately my ass got dragged back to Game Of Thrones.

5 things on my to do list: practice German language (hey, me too!), sort out all of the admin shit for my new house, find furniture for my new house, shower, and then a whole bunch of work stuff I need to take charge of while my boss is on holiday.

@violettstars Kyoto, then Tokyo then back to Osaka for a night. Yourself?

1, 7, 11

1. Find the last two characters you blogged about. Pick one as your sworn bodyguard against a series of 13 increasingly deadly assassins. How long do you survive?

Ahahaha a line of Star Trek redshirts. They will work perfectly because they’re bullet magnets, any time an assassin tries to kill me they will end up dying instead. 

7. If you were an anime magical girl (or gender of your choice), what colour hair would you have? What about eyes?

Hmmm probably like white/really pale silver, all bleached like how when Rogue uses her powers. 

11. What is your patronus?

Lmao I have no fuckin idea, but maybe some big destrier (I’ve been reading too much Game of Thrones). Galloping seems like a good ... depiction of joy. (This sounds lame lmao).
