song stuck in your head: hold the line - toto and whatever is on my fic playlist
weirdest habit/trait?: probably a lot but the most annoying as a lot of us have mentioned is assuming no one really likes me. but also doing that thing where you start a task and then see something else that has to be done so by the time you have finished you've begun 50 other tasks
hobbies: video games, reading, writing stories, poems and music, pretending I can bake cute aesthetic things I find on Instagram reels, calligraphy, collecting sea glass and sea shells.
if you work, what's your profession? i worked on a cow farm
if you could have any job you wish what would it be? a sugar baby, someone who lives on a beach, but really anything in music bts or in front or a psychologist but instead I went to school two times for things I did not end up staying with haaaaaa
something you're good at: giving you compliments until you tell me to stfu
something you're bad at: i like this answer so same -> putting myself first, also as it's been said a few times socializing, and flirting
something you love: documentaries ommmg jdkfdakjf <3 <3, downtime when I can have it, also I always forget how much I love the sun until this time of year, hearing a favorite song you haven't heard in a long time, watching stuff with people whether its movies or youtube videos or shows
something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: video games, music, joel miller, the octopus lifecycle, Shakespeare, fun bts facts of my favorite movies and tv shows (I could spend days upon days looking up facts about how movies and shows are made and the little details in each of my favorite movies and shows)
something you hate: when its too hot or too cold, when I do that thing and don't buy snacks to be "healthy" and then wish I had a snack and math.

favorite animal: cows, platypus', whales and dolphins
what were you like as a child? the quiet kid who was basically a mute because anxiety sucks and being perceived is frightening - lemme just fade into the floor
favorite subject at school? psychology, english because we could read Shakespeare and really cool books, science, music class, history, french, home ec, woodshop
least favorite subject? math and phys ed cause ya girl ain't a runner but yet they're all like "ohh its not that hard" but bro you're not even doing it
what's your best character trait? why are these questions so hard though? like idk my ability to make people feel comfortable?? i feel weird answering this lol
what's your worst character trait? i guess my inability to put myself first still and my dad jokes and sometimes I get quiet because I have a huge fear of rejection or abandonment
if you could change any detail of your day right now what would it be? that I was on vacation instead of driving around for hours today or sleeping more that'd be great
if you could travel in time who would you like to meet? Beethoven, Shakespeare, my grandparents, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, Frida Kahlo, idkkkk
recommend one of your favorite fanfics (spread the love!): there's so many this is rude asking for one so I'll give you two series. recently I read late night texts by @jolapeno and the wolf you feed by @arcanefox207 these series changed my brain chemistry for the best. I could scream on every rooftop in the world about these to every person in the world like please READ THEM!!!
npt: @arcanefox207 @gothcsz @syd-djarin @sunshinehaze1 @sunshineispunk @milla-frenchy @aurorawritestoescape @604to647 @myownwholewildworld @evolnoomym @slimybeth69 @almostfoxglove @lotusbxtch @baronessvonglitter me smooching you all through the phone <3 <3 <3 cause you all deserve every ounce of love and joy in the whole world

starting next month I’m gonna be a blacksmith apprentice! :D I am thankfully starting super small - like, hammering very small things that someone else is holding - and I think that’s great. I took one (1) semester of woodshop in middle school, which remains the best class I’ve ever taken, and the main thing I learned from that is that there are so many ways to accidentally maim yourself. Haha. So I’m excite that these specific blacksmiths are keen on safety. They’re all hella nice and welcoming too. SO THAT’S FUN!

its actually wrenching that the best, the most comforting and pleasant memory that jesse had to retreat into to escape the mind-shattering stress of enslavement was from a high school woodshop class. the few moments of joy he experienced in the show—his time spent with jane and andrea and brock—have all been tainted, poisoned. the only thing he has left is the one moment in his life that he felt at peace with himself. content. proud. the one time his capacity and passion for creation—creation of something Good—was fully realized. of all the moments seen and unseen in jesse's life, that was the one he sank into for a second's reprieve from this nightmare

woodshop was the class for burnouts and hockey bros and i was like an anxious autistic faggot so i didn’t fit in with the other students but i was weird enough to belong there and bc i never caused trouble the teacher loved me and would let me spend the whole class reading or like the time i just sat in the tool crib and organized it unprompted for an hour 15 in total silence. i did woodworking when i felt like it. best class

ANSWER THEM ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABT HER NOW IM FONAN EXPLODE /hj
Tumblr media
OMGHWIF THANK YOU MOOT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT ALL MY LIFE ILY
Meet my yuusona! original post
1. Name: Emery Sutton, some friends call her Em, Cater and Kalim call her Emmie, same nickname Floyd and Rook has for mc
2. Inspiration: None initially but she does remind me a little of Ariel and Ursula's human forms I might draw her in their dresses omg!!!
3. Age/Birthday: Since she's a freshman I just had her be 16 like the rest of them and she is a Scorpio born on October 24th (my bday :3) Treys birthday is closest.. literally the day after. Two parties in a row though that's fun!!
4. Dorm: She's in Ramshackle!!! Her and Grim had trouble with the ghosts at first but like canon, they eventually warmed up to each other and she has a lot of respect for them as people who have died. Her relationship with the ghosts is symbiotic in a way, they serve as security cameras and watch out for her and she takes care of and restores their home. Having to clean up Ramshackle made her learn a lot of skills and she could probably replace the roof herself. She also got really into interior design and woodshop so Ramshackle is definitely really pretty with her as prefect.
5. Class: Her and Grim are in the same class as Ace and Deuce and when they're not all goofing around, they can lock in pretty well and get work done. She always takes detailed notes in class solely because she can make the others buy them from her with snacks if they miss class or weren't paying attention.
6. Height: She's about 5'3 and is between Riddle and Kalim in height.
7. Hair/Eye color: Her hair is dark brown but sometimes I can't decide and make it medium brown. Her eyes are a deep blue and around her pupil, she has a sort of ring around it that's darker.
8. Homeland: Like mc, she's not from Twisted Wonderland but is in fact a Cali girl.
9. Club: I literally cannot decide what club she is in.. at first, I thought maybe the light music club so she can sing all my favorite songs but now idk, maybe she just has her own thing but I think she definitely pops in to hang out with other clubs when she's bored. She cant be tied down!!!
10. Subject: Her favorite and best subject is astrology because that's one of my special interests.. but she's also probably really enjoys history of magic too and flight class. Her and Cater definitely geek out about astrology.
11. Hobby: She really likes painting or just making little trinkets and jewelry. Everyone she's ever talked to has a friendship bracelet from her or like those string of beads you hang on your wall with a crystal at the end. She also really enjoys making snacks with Trey.
12. Pet Peeves: People walking slow in front of her and she HATES snoring and other obnoxious sounds. If you're at a sleepover with her and snore... expect to never wake up ever again, she will suffocate you with a pillow (/j). Grim is lucky he doesn't snore too bad or he would be sleeping outside. But Deuce on the other hand.. she makes him sleep in the farthest room from hers and puts a towel under his door.
13. Food: her favorite food is any kind of noodle and just in general Italian food. She really likes gnocchi and bread and yummy warm filling stuff. She doesn't care for steamed vegetables, especially asparagus and prefers them fresh.
14. Talent: She's actually a really seasoned oil painter and loves doing portraits!! She's not so good at painting landscape but that's something she's started practicing more often. Rook and Malleus probably appreciate her work the most and often ask to see what she's working on lately. Azul commissioned her to paint a whale for monstro lounge and wanted to ask her to paint him all cool and evil but was too embarrassed.
15. Unique Magic/Signature spell: Since she's yuu, she doesn't have magic but she is maybe a teensy bit psychic whether she realizes it or not. She has the prophetic dreams, is really intuitive and she can in some ways command other people telepathically if she's determined enough, like if she thinks "GET YOUR BIG HEAD OUT OF MY WAY I CANT SEE" and they get the sense to move over a little bit.
16. Quote: "Live you? Or are you aught that man may question?" To Malleus when they first met because she's been waiting forever to quote Shakespeare.
17. Personality: Pam Beasley. She can be kinda shy and awkward and not talk so much or she can be really outgoing and a chatterbox and like making people laugh. When she's warmed up, she'll be quick to witty retorts and teasing but most people's first impression of her is that she's a little timid unless her friends are giving her confidence. She loves working with Ace to pull clever pranks on Grim and Deuce and Sebek. When she's upset or angry though, she can be really firm and serious and maybe a little passive aggressive. Generally really friendly and generous and likes having fun. She's maybe in the middle of Lilia and Kalim personality wise.
skipping 18 lol
19: Favorite Housewarden: if she had to pick, her favorite housewarden would probably be Riddle just because they're the closest as friends and she really appreciates and admires his improvement as a person. They have tea at Ramshackle almost every week and just hang out #besties!!
20: Partner: FLOYD FRICKING LEECH!!! they met how canon mc and he did and started dating sometime after book 4. She likes the excitement he gives her and how cute and smart he is and how awesome he is and how sweet he is when he's nice, and he likes how resilient and caring she is and that she laughs and matches his energy instead of avoiding him. They're best friends that are practically engaged because things would be so boring if they broke up. Fit together like eels and shrimps. They're literally Johnny and Baby from Dirty Dancing.
thank you for blessing me with the opportunity to rant have this messy epel sprite edit of her

Dude Is Happy
Week #7 Prompt: Laugh | Word Count: 1010 | Rating: T | POV: Jonathan | Characters: Jonathan, Argyle | Pairings: Platonic Jargyle and/or Pre-Jargyle, Jancy (Off-Screen) | CW: Recreational Drug Use (Weed) | Tags: Pre-S4, Jonathan's First Day of School in CA, Meeting Argyle
Tumblr media
The first thing he hears is the laugh. It's distinct, and so joyful, seemingly amused with something, life maybe, that Jonathan looks around the woodshop class trying to find the guy it's coming out of, but has no luck.
The shop isn't set up in a way where he can see everyone else at all times, so now he just has to imagine what could possibly be making anyone that happy at school.
Jonathan's not sure he's ever sounded that happy.
Starting a new school during his senior year wasn't exactly his idea of a good time, but he understood why they needed to leave Hawkins. Why Will, why El, why his mom couldn't be there now. After losing Hopper, and everything else that has happened, over and over, that staying behind for Nancy wasn't a reasonable ask.
So, he didn't ask. 
He packed up everything he owned, from the only home he'd ever known, and went with the flow, because that was the path of least resistance.
Now, he's here. In a new state. A new school. The new kid as a senior is a rough place in the social hierarchy. Not that he's ever cared much about that. Be quiet, keep his head down. It's worked for him so far in his seventeen years.
He's aware he's always been a bit of a loner, and he doesn't really have an issue with that continuing here. Yeah, he's got the Upside Down crew, all that shared trauma with those in the know. Will's friends. Nancy, and Steve. The new girl, Robin. But it's not like they're all that close. Steve tolerates him now, but Jonathan wouldn't exactly call him his friend. Not with Nancy forever between them.
They're just half-assed acquaintances because they've both found themselves thrust together due to the weirdness of Hawkins.
He can keep to himself, not bother anyone and hope that nobody bothers him.
But there's that laugh again, and he's curious. So, Jonathan gets up and walks through the woodshop, looking for the source of that kind of happiness. 
He finds it. 
A boy with long, long hair under a brightly colored hat, is tossing his head back, laughing at seemingly nothing at all. Nobody else around.
Well, at least this dude is happy. Or insane. But Jonathan's banking on happy, because he looks happy, not crazy.
"Can I sit?" Jonathan asks, impulsively out of character, and the guy looks in his direction, kinda glassy-eye.
Oh. Not crazy. Stoned.
And Jonathan smiles, ever so slightly.
"Of course, brochacho," he says, clearing off the table in front of the empty chair. "Are you new here in this fine school? I haven't seen you in this class before."
Jonathan nods.
"Well, welcome to Lenora Hills. I'm Argyle and I'll be your tour guide."
"Jonathan," Jonathan says, returning the favor of introducing himself. 
Jonathan isn't sure he needs a tour guide, but this stoner might be the best case scenario if he has to have one.
"Do you…partake?" Argyle asks, dropping his voice to a whisper, putting his pinched forefinger and thumb to his lips, and Jonathan isn't sure how to respond. He's not opposed, but it's not like that's something he's been doing with Nancy. There was an incredibly weird hang with Steve, both sore and bruised, and not by each other for once, where Steve produced a joint and Jonathan definitely didn't say no. 
"Sometimes," Jonathan settles on, "why, you offering?" 
Argyle laughs that laugh, and Jonathan wants to hear it more. It's so happy, light, a refreshing change after the past couple years that haven't been all that happy, even after the dust had settled. 
"My dude, of course. I have all the best strains. I can rock your world."
"I'll hold you to that," Jonathan says, and then the teacher comes in and the discussion is tabled for another day.
Jonathan blows out another lungful of smoke, and is sure with everything that he is, that Argyle told no lies. This is the best thing he's ever smoked, and he can barely keep his eyes open. He definitely never had a weed hookup this good in Hawkins. Whatever Eddie Munson was selling behind the school isn't anywhere near this league. Holy shit.
Argyle laughs again, and it's just as funny, just as endearing, as it was at school.
"Anybody ever told you that you have a good laugh?" Jonathan asks, eyes half-lidded. He can't see much of Argyle, but he can definitely hear him. 
"All the time," Argyle answers, "but I still appreciate the compliment, my dude."
Jonathan nods. He's pretty sure he has a new best friend. 
It's been a long time since he's had one of those, he realizes. Not since he was a kid, maybe, unless Nancy counts, and he thinks she doesn't. Not really. She's his girlfriend, a friend-friend would be different. 
At least he thinks so. Maybe. It's been a while, so he can't be totally sure.
"Like?" Argyle asks, and Jonathan nods, the only thing he thinks he can do at this point. His eyelids feel like they weigh a thousand pounds, in the very best way. He leans back in the seat of the yellow van, and relaxes, melting into the beaded seat cover. "This is Pineapple Express. And pineapple is always recommended. Both for smoking and for pizza."
"Oooh, pizza sounds good," Jonathan says.
"Then you're in luck, I happen to work at California's premiere pizza establishment," Argyle insists, patting the dash of the van.
"No way," Jonathan says, eyes falling back closed.
"Way," Argyle answers, "Where'd you come from anyway?"
"Indiana," Jonathan answers. 
"Right on," Argyle says, "Well, welcome to California. Stick with me, and I'll show you our ways. I think you'll like it here."
Jonathan really hopes that's true. Yeah, there's no Nancy, but there's also no responsibility stuck on him to save the world, either. Maybe he can just…be. Hang out. Eat some pizza. Smoke a little grass.
Have some fun.
Hell, maybe he'll even learn to laugh, just like Argyle.
Tumblr media
If you want to write your own, or see more entries for this challenge, pop on over to @astrangersummer and follow along with the fun! 🌿
Notes: Going back and looking at show clips, I'm not sure that Argyle even has the laugh I remembered him having. But Eduardo Franco most definitely does in real life. So, let's go with it. The Pineapple Express strain also did not exist in 1986, but I couldn't resist using it here. It felt very Argyle.

What electives are best for highschool, I'm having trouble choosing which are good and will take me somewhere good in life/nfta. That's all! Have a good day!
To Sniff
From Mr Tabbypaws
(not sure why I of all people am being asked this but you know what slay)
Of course it all depends on highschools and stuff, electives differ from place to place. I will say, my school had a few electives surrounding the study of media, (news and film mostly), those are helpful because while literally analysis is good, knowing how to analysis what you see on television and on the news I think it more applicable to the average person. Personal financing is another good one if your school offers that, and normally it's a business credit or something like that. I didn't take it, but I wish I did lol.
This is more science-y but if your school offers anything like botany, natural resources, etc. Take it. It's fun, plants are all around us, they are good to know about. Take creative writing if you like writing, seriously, it's stupid sometimes, but man, it felt freeing in some ways. If you aren't a very creative person though, and are thinking about taking creative writing for an easy credit, don't. I watched too many people do that, and then get screwed over lol.
Any cooking class possible. Please.
WOODSHOP! Not all highschools have this, but mine did I regret that I didn't take the official class everyday. I ended up befriended the woodworking teacher because he was friends with my latin teacher and would visit our class, and he helped me with a lot of skills I still use today. Most of them have saved me money, as I now thrift most of my wood furniture and fix it up instead. Also, dude helped me make my first frame.
I know languages are hard for some people, and I know some places they are required credits and others elective, but if you can, take it. If you struggle pronouncing words, take latin, no one can correct you on how to pronounce a dead language.
That's the best I got for advice lol

Hope you don’t mind, but what secret talent or talents would TBP characters have?
Omg this got me thinking
Gonna start right off the by saying Griffin is incredibly flexible. Like he’s such a silly little guy he can do THE backbend and he can move while doing it. He’s a really good gymnast! :) Painting and drawing is one of his greatest strong suits. He’s also pretty advanced at playing the piano. (Geez Griffin has a lot of talents actually .) He’s also good at knitting and crocheting.
I feel like Billy would actually be like GREAT at acting he’d love theatre and stuff like that. He’s also great at origami I think someone made a hc about that and I LOVED it it’s so real for him. He’s also like. AMAZING at calligraphy. His handwriting is incredibly neat. He’s also good at juggling, for some reason!
Vance’s talent is that he’s just really handy. He’s good at fixing mechanical issues. That’s all I can think of. He USED to hide the fact he was good at cooking until Griffin told the others because he likes talking about things Vance is good at!
I think Finney’s talent is that he’s able to do that thing where he throws his voice so it sounds like it’s coming from somewhere else. He’s also strangely good at navigating even if it’s near impossible to tell where he is. Another skill I think he’d be really good at is archery. His shots are always dead on the target. (Robin is whipped seeing him practice)
Robin is actually really good at pottery. He would LOVEEE pottery and ceramic units in art classes at school like his projects come out the best. Robin also likes figure skating. He actually would be good at it, I feel like. Like it’s something he thought he would suck at but ended up being like a natural. Finney comes with him sometimes, and he always compliments Robin at his talent.
Bruce is the type of guy to just show off his talent for skipping stones. He gets a LOT of good shots and his skipping stones almost never sink. He also takes woodshop in school, which he is actually really great at. He would LOVE woodworking. He likes making birdhouses, and he liked the unit where they made tiny wooden cars. He made two, and gifted them to Billy and Griffin!
Donna is good at singing guys, I’m calling it. She’s in her school’s choir, and she loves it. I feel like she’d also do ballet or any form of dance like ballet. She’d be very graceful. She also feels even better about it when she sees her family at her concerts and recitals. I feel like she’d also be like the type to just be good at debating without even trying that much. She’s a quick thinker.
Gwen would be good at making jewelry. She makes a lot of bracelets, rings, necklaces, and things like that in her spare time. She once made another choker for Vance! Gwen would also be great at swimming, in my opinion. She picks it up when she’s in 8th grade, and Finney and Terrence come to all of her swim meets. Her times are always really good.
Amy’s favorite talent of hers is roller skating. She goes to the skate part a lot to practice. She knows a lot of tricks, but not just on roller skates. She has a scooter, and she LOVES that thing. She can do a lot of cool things with that. Amy is also good at blackmailing. Not like seriously, but she makes the others buy her silence with candy and barbies if she has some funny dirt on them. She’s also REALLY good at puzzles!

I was tagged by @femmefighter ! And how sweet is that!! Let’s get to it.
QUESTIONS FOR 15 PALS!
ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?: No, I’m not named after anyone which I’m glad for!
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?: I cried last week, I have big feelings I don’t always know what to do with. You know how it is.
DO YOU HAVE KIDS?: No, I don’t. But I would like to adopt or foster one day. That’s a big goal of mine.
WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/ HAVE YOU PLAYED?: I love badminton a lot! Tennis too. I am not a coordinated person so I enjoy playing with all my limbs in any attempt to actually hit something.
DO YOU USE SARCASM?: I do, but I won’t say I use it well! I just like to give myself a good laugh.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?: For me, I’m certainly a body language reader, so when we first meet, I’m trying to gauge you based on that and tone of voice to try and understand your mood and feelings. Also, I’m listening to your laugh because I love hearing other people laugh.
WHAT’S YOUR EYE COLOR?: Hazel.
SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?: I won’t say no to a happy ending but I do love a scary movie. Mainly a psychological thriller. I want to be tormented and have the movie end with me saying “ what the fuck did I just watch?”.
ANY TALENTS?: “Talents” is quite a strong word, I don’t know if I’m per se talented in anything, I just enjoy certain activities. To me, the word “talented” means you’ve achieved a certain high skill level, and that’s too much to me haha
WHERE WERE YOU BORN?: Portland, Oregon here in the States.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?: I enjoy woodworking, painting and other half assed things I’ve picked up over the years that semi resemble some sort of craft. I have a billion and one ideas and about half as many projects to complete because I have to try everything and struggle to finish one of them. I love dabbling in anything that you can do with your hands and looks something like art. Also, I love collecting Star Wars toys because I’m a giant child. ‘99 was the best year ♥️
DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?: I don’t have any pets of my own currently, no. But I’ve always lived and grown up with cats, and I love them a lot. I had a pug once and he was always so fun.
HOW TALL ARE YOU?: 5’5.
FAVORITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?: I had a lot, but for sure marine biology. Such a fantastic class and had some great opportunities thereafter. Very involved and hands on and living off the Puget Sound just made it that much better. I took four years of woodshop then as well, and that had a massive impact on me too that I won’t soon forget. I did break two fingers then and that was quite something!
DREAM JOB?: I’m one of those people that is constantly changing their “dream job”. Maybe that’s only natural as we get older, I don’t know! Once it was being a film editor, then it was a marine biologist, then I wanted to be a furniture designer and maker, then I thought I’d be a school counselor. So you know, just give me 15 minutes and I’m sure I’ll think of something else to do in the world!! Hahaha 😆
I’ll tag a few of you out there and give this a go, if you so wish! It’s alway nice to get to know more about one another and I enjoy seeing you bunch around on here!
@firerose @wrenandshinpy @vesperlily @rizz-god @paper-moon-beams @sundogriverwolf @roguegona @bitch-of-the-year-6661 @amerikated @gavfleetout @whiteravengreywolf
Thanks again @femmefighter ! This was very nice!

Do you ever have days where you just don’t do anything? That's...what I look for in my weekends now, pretty much. I'm so busy wringing out 115% of my brain during the workweek that when Friday evening rolls around I'm just too mentally exhausted to even think about making plans. Sometimes I'll see friends, but even then I prefer to just hang out at someone's house or mine. In any case, I've taught myself that rest is also productive - so I no longer feel guilty about spending my weekends couch-rotting away.
Have you ever experienced something paranormal? No but it's also because I don't seriously believe in it. I like hearing stories and seeing how creepy people's POVs can get, but gun to my head I don't believe in the whole concept.
What’s the longest amount of time you’ve been stuck in traffic? This is a hilarious question tbh because in the Philippines, everywhere is traffic and it's impossible to gauge my worst record. I just face it everyday. Idk. Maybe the time I tried going to Leni's thanksgiving rally when she lost the elections? For a drive that'd usually take 30-45 minutes, I got to the Katipunan area only after 5 hours. Everyone else and their mothers were headed to the same rally, hence the traffic.
I missed the entire thing so to cheer me up, my friends asked if I was up to go to a bar since it had been a Friday evening anyway.
What museums have you visited, if any? Too many to count. I like museums. I've gone to most, if not all of the ones within Metro Manila + I also make it a point to visit at least 1 museum in my local and international trips.
Have you ever dealt with noisy neighbors or roommates? How did that go? Yes the house behind us has like 1000 fucking kids who do nothing but cry. I've pretty much memorized the way each kid's cry sounds at this point. Filipinos are non-confrontational lmao so the most I've gone is to just furiously bang my window in their direction as a way to tell them to shut up. One time my mom directly went to them and asked them to tone it down, but it fell on deaf ears so it's just pointless.
Have you ever taken a woodshop class? No.
What area of math are you best at? Worst? Fractions and advanced algebra. Statistics can also be on the easy side so long as you have the formulas memorized.
Geometry, trigonometry, and calculus were without a doubt my worst. I barely passed a single exam in high school and I'm still of the theory that my teachers probably just passed me out of pity so that I don't need to take summer classes, lol.
How do you feel when you meet someone with the same music taste as you? It makes me feel good and warm and fuzzy! Specific to my ~fanbase, and K-pop as a whole, Armys traditionally stick up and watch out for one another so it's always nice seeing them out in the wild. Just a couple months back when Jungkook's documentary was in theatres, I instinctively offered my snacks to the fans in front of me even though we didn't know each other ahaha.
Do you believe in luck? Why or why not? Not the good kind. But I do hold a certain level of belief in bad luck because I always seem to hoard it.
Do you ever feel self-conscious when you eat around other people? The only time this happens is if I go to uncommon cuisine-specific restaurants and feel like locals' eyes are on me and judging the way I eat their food. Like earlier; I was at an authentic Korean place and got kongguksu and samgyupsal – two meals that DO NOT go together and Koreans never eat together, lol. But I wanted to try kongguksu and I was craving samgyupsal so I got both. I ended up just avoiding the eyes of the native Koreans who came in to eat there HAHAHA
Have you ever considered going to art school? Not art school but close – I applied for art management in Ateneo, since I had dreams of being a museum curator. I passed the exam, but since I had already also passed UPD at that point, I had to let it go. UP was my prio anyway by an infinitely larger margin.
Is there anyone in your life who consistently angers you? Yes, my closest cousin's dad. Aka my mom's brother/my uncle.
Have you ever had problems falling asleep in class? Never.
Are your parents supportive of you? They are but they are also the practical/realistic kind of supportive. Badly put, if I had dreams to go to an expensive school or travel abroad, they'd cheer me on but they wouldn't give up an arm and a leg to make it happen for me; and they'd also be the first to tell me no, we can't afford it – which I understand and respect.
How often do you take the train to go places? Never.
Have you ever participated in a mock trial, or a real trial? Nope. But Andi brought me to a mock courtroom once, if anything lol.
Do you have the right time set on your microwave? Yup.
Do you have any old newspaper articles? Why? I don't think we do, no.
Do you have a flat screen tv or just a regular box? Yes, flat screen.
Do you have a radar detector for your car? Nope.
Have you ever been arrested? For what? Never have.
Do you know how to change the oil in your car? Ahaha, nope. My dad prefers to do it - or when he's not here, we have a contact if it needs to be done.
Do you like Tootsie Rolls? I don't think I've ever had one, actually.
Are you seeing anybody currently? No.
Do you like it when it snows? I've never experienced snow.
Where do you do most of your shopping? Depends on what I'm shopping for. I take a liking to Uniqlo these days, though.
Do you have a big yard? It's average-sized but considering we grew up in a really cramped set-up, I'm just happy we have a backyard at all.
Do you live in the country or the city? City.
At what age did you obtain your driver license? 18.
What are you favorite kind of chips? Honey butter or baked potato chips!
Where did you go today? I was in Makati for most of the day. Work-wise, I was there to visit a print newspaper for our media rounds; but outside of work I also had a stacked agenda since I needed to buy more gifts for more relatives (it's our Christmas reunion tomorrow so it's procrastination at its very finest, LOL). All in all a very productive day and it also just so happens to be the weekend, so yay!
Are you sleepy right now? I'm getting there but I can still finish this. And maybe take another one? We'll see. I never follow through on statements like this though, hahaha.
What color is your mousepad? I don't use one but my trackpad is silver/grey.
Do you get your eyebrows waxed? Nope.
Has anyone given you flowers recently? Not since April.
Has anyone you know been arrested recently? Not arrested but pulled over for traffic violations - Gabie and Hans.
Do you have more than 1 email address? That I do.
Do you have central heating and air? No.
Are there any plants in your house? Yes, they're all my mom's. I don't really care for plants.
Do you prefer cold or warm weather? Cold.
Do you prefer bar or liquid soap? Liquid. But I don't mind either.
Do you wear any perfumes/colognes on a regular basis? Yes.
Do you have high or low self-esteem levels? It depends; there are so many contexts to self-esteem. I definitely fluctuate.
When was the last time you listened to a song on repeat? What was the song? Not sure, maybe last week? It was the Japanese version of Falling by Jin, featuring Taka from One Ok Rock.
Do you like mint or orange-flavored chocolate? Mintcho is fine. Orange chocolate...I can take it or leave it.
When was the last time you burnt your mouth from eating something too hot? This rarely happens to me because I'm super sensitive to pain and automatically spit something out if I find it too hot lol.
What is your favorite foreign language to listen to? (In music or speech) Nothing tbh but if anything, maybe French.
Do you prefer instrumental songs or ones with lyrics? Lyrics.
Name something simple that makes you happy. Finding a parking slot near the entrance of where I'm headed.
What is your favorite instrument to listen to? Piano.
Pick one: Books, movies or music? Music > movies > books.
What was the last book you read about? It's a collection of history essays.
When was the last time you used a quote from a movie in real life? Earlier. My sister made a White Chicks reference and my instinct was to sing the Guantanamera bit that happens in the opening scene lol
Can you put your legs behind your head? I probably could. I did it a lot as a kid hahaha. I know it will 100% hurt more at 26 but I'm pretty sure I still can.
Do you forget things easily? Yes. :(
The last song you listened to: Did it have a male or female vocalist? 7 boys.
Have you ever had braces? Do you need them? I did and I have them again now.
What does your voice sound like? (Loud, quiet, high-pitched, etc) It's on the deeper side but nothing too deep that I'd get mistaken as a boy. It just doesn't really have that softness that most girls I know tend to have. Idk how else I can explain my own voice, sorry hahah.
What was the last topic you read about on Wikipedia? I looked up Niki cos I just got quickly curious about how she shot up to fame in such a short amount of time.
Have you ever donated money to Wikipedia? No.
What board games did you play when you were growing up? Just traditional/common ones like scrabble, snakes and ladders, checkers etc.
Do you know any sign language? Like less than 10 words, so no.
When was the last time you bought new clothes? What did you get? Earlier! I got this elegant-looking day dress from Uniqlo that I'm planning to wear to the Christmas party on my dad's side.
Do you ever watch streamers on Twitch? Nope.
Has your house ever been broken into? How did you find out? It has not.
What do you usually eat for breakfast? I don't eat anything and just fix myself a cup of coffee.
Are you overwhelmed right now? Not anymore because it's the weekend.
Did you share a bedroom with someone when you were growing up? I didn't even have my own bedroom growing up, so the default answer here is yes. I didn't get my own until I was around 10/11.
How many group chats are you in? Do you participate in them much? So many. GCs are just everyday life for Filipinos. I have more active GCs than active threads with individual people.
Are you still in touch with any of your exes? No.
What do you do for work? I do local PR for the biggest consumer brands in the world that you 100% know about.
Were you upset when you found out certain things weren’t real? (Santa, Tooth Fairy…) I was always a bit of a realistic kid and kind of had an inkling that none of them were real. It was my parents working overtime trying to convince me that they were, hahaha.
Name something you’re proud of. Brag a little bit. I've been sponsoring my family's noche buena and media noche for the last 3 years :) We weren't dirt poor in my growing-up years but we definitely had to save more than we could spend, so it just as well felt like we were poor. Getting to a point where I can ask them whatever they wanted to eat and shush them about worrying about the price definitely feels good.
Which store would you like to win $1000 for? Nike.
Do you pay any attention to celebrity drama? I pick and choose which ones to follow. I'm definitely not, like, chronically online if it comes to things like this.
What popular food do you dislike? Ice cream. I eat slowly, so we're incompatible from the get-go!
Do you have any cats? Yes we have our Maxwell George :)
How many slices of pizza can you eat in 1 sitting? Sometimes 1, sometimes 3.

I still think my woodshop teacher from HS was doing a good in his class because he had literally told the class of mostly seniors 'If you come into class high, I'm not going to get on your case, just tell me and don't work on the machines'
Like, best way to keep kids from not getting injured because don't invoke judgement just keep them away from power tools.
I also remember trying a new cough medicine and telling him 'My mom tried me on a new cough medicine and I think I'm out of it. I'm not working on saws today.' and he just looked at me and told me to go take a nap at my seat.

Okay, I NEED to know every single idea you have for your new ‘Bloodred’ side characters. Hobbies? Favourite classes? Family Relationships? Romantic relationships? Friendships?
- @come-along-pond
thank you very much, I will put down anything I can think of for now. Whatever else there is may come to me while writing new chapters haha
COLLETTE:
Really into baking. Kind of a neat freak. Usually dressed in pastels and creams, often wears skirts, jeans, sneakers, buckle shoes, sweaters, blouses, etc. Kind of preppy chic kinda girl. She is a Doug Dwarf endgame. Bit akward and quiet, which is why she gets along great with Jane Godmother at first until their paths kind split and she starts hanging out with Prue Woods instead. Mrs Potts is really involved in her life, almost a bit too much from time to time, but she gets along great with her older brother Chip. She and Doug first meet when Collette takes over guard duties for council meetings and they get to talking as they walk out of the conference room. Doug accidentally spills some of his soda on her and Collette elbows him in the face on accident as she's trying to clean herself off and from then on they're two lovebirds in the making. Her favorite classes are Home Ec, English, French, and Belle's Book Club. She's a really soft-spoken, clumsy, homemaker type of girl. Born to be a mother. In her freetime, besides baking, she likes to read, make jewelery, do puzzles, and some crafting. She also helps out in the kingdom's daycare whenever she has time.
PRUE:
Prue loves woodworking, but she's lowkey bad at it. She likes to whittle but never really walks away without a million bandaids. Her favorite class, and the only one she attends really, is Woodshop. Her friends are Collette and Rosalie. She does many repairs in school, though she's not nearly as great at them as her grandfather. She's addicted to coffee and is a night owl. She's lowkey got a great sense of style, which is funny considering she's much more of a handy person. She dresses more bohemian, everything she wears is flowy everything and usually some kind of sandal when she's not directly working with wood. She's gonna be a Gil endgame. She's always trying to live up to her father's name while trying to beat the allegations ("Does your nose grown when you lie?" "Ask me that one more time and I will knock you flat on your ass."). She wears a star necklace and has a little whale stuffy in her room that she's had since she was a baby.
ROSALIE:
Fashion queen. Her favorite classes are Magical History, Herbology, and art class. She loves to make clothes, design them, working with plants and flowers, collects fashion magazines and one of her guilty pleasures is watching Auradonian reality shows. She dresses to impress always. She wears the chicest pink dresses and two pieces, is a bit obsessed with ruffles and florals. When she's not wearing some kind of heel (she loves the clackidy sound they make), she will wear those high strap sandals that Romans used to wear. Her best friend in Auradon is Robin Hood's youngest daughter Renee. Rosalie is an Evie endgame. She learned how to work with plants and her passion for fashion from her mommy.
REESE:
Robin Hood's middle daughter. She is sort of an intern in the King's Guard and in line to take a spot in it once she graduates. She's Sporty Spice, usually always dressed in something comfy (corsets are comfy to her), has a green and brown motif to her, earthy colors, is the only person in the world besides her dad who can pull fedoras off. She loves archery, climbing, and is a fantastic tracker, she could hold a candle to Petra with her abilities. Her best friend is Lonnie, they bond over having to uphold their parents honor and eventually over other things too. Reese is a Mal endgame because together, they are literally unstoppable. A red fox follows her around at all times.

survey #222
Do you ever have days where you just don’t do anything? I mean... compared to the lives of ordinary adults my age, that would be most days for me. I have nothing but free time and I'm not exactly skilled at putting it to good use.
Have you ever experienced something paranormal? I firmly believe I have, at the bare minimum of twice. I think an old home of mine was haunted or some shit, weird things happened there.
What’s the longest amount of time you’ve been stuck in traffic? Hell if I know. I'm sure it was while traveling, though.
What museums have you visited, if any? I literally think I've only visited one, the local one in my city... which is abysmally depressing to say. I love the idea of museums, and the one we have here is immensely sub-par. I would love to visit a good one, especially one with fossil displays.
Have you ever dealt with noisy neighbors or roommates? How did that go? No, thankfully. I mean, our current neighbor's dog doesn't shut up half the time, but unless I'm not listening to something in the spare room (the room closest to where she is in the neighbor's [fenced] yard), I don't hear her in here.
Have you ever taken a woodshop class? No.
What area of math are you best at? Worst? I suck at all math. According to the autism eval I took, I apparently need an IEP in mathematics. During my last college attempt, I literally failed ALGEBRA ONE miserably, but I will say I really didn't like how my teacher taught, he was all about weird shortcuts. Even when I tried tutoring though, I was humiliated that just nothing made sense. It's a bit strange, though; up through high school, I could handle math, but it was always my weakest subject. I wasn't an A student in it. I just go so much worse when I left high school. I don't know if it could be the results of overmedication (which I hold responsible for my memory issues), trauma (trauma can have effects you wouldn't guess, and I firmly believe it altered how I process information), or what.
How do you feel when you meet someone with the same music taste as you? I get excited. I love music, so it's something to bond over.
Do you believe in luck? Why or why not? "In a sense. Sometimes you're just in the right place at the right time, or "the stars align." But as a force, not really." <<< Literally this.
Do you ever feel self-conscious when you eat around other people? Only if the food is messy, and I don't generally like eating messy food anyway because *I* don't like getting messy.
Have you ever considered going to art school? I went to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online and got scammedddddd <33333
Is there anyone in your life who consistently angers you? My sister's shitty husband.
Have you ever had problems falling asleep in class? No.
Are your parents supportive of you? Yes. Mom WAY more actively than Dad, but.
How often do you take the train to go places? Never.
Have you ever participated in a mock trial, or a real trial? No.
Do you have the right time set on your microwave? Yes.
Do you have any old newspaper articles? Why? No.
Do you have a flat screen tv or just a regular box? We have a decently large flat-screen. It's not something we could ever afford now; it's as old as when my parents were still together.
Do you have a radar detector for your car? No.
Have you ever been arrested? For what? No.
Do you know how to change the oil in your car? Nope.
Do you like Tootsie Rolls? I don't.
Are you seeing anybody currently? I've been dating the same someone for almost three years now.
Do you like it when it snows? I fucking love when it snows. It doesn't happen often here. It sticks even less often.
Where do you do most of your shopping? Walmart.
Do you have a big yard? Big no, the front and back are very small.
Do you live in the country or the city? A development just outside a city. Still basically city.
At what age did you obtain your driver license? I'm 28 and still don't have it; I probably never will. It is better for me and everyone else on the road. I WISH I could drive, but it's just not a safe option right now.
What are you favorite kind of chips? Hot crunchy Cheetos
Where did you go today? My primary doctor for a check-up. Our car is still toast so we were lucky enough that they offered transportation.
Are you sleepy right now? Extremely. I stayed up way too late last night to have to wake up early like I had to.
What color is your mousepad? Black.
Do you get your eyebrows waxed? No. I don't care enough.
Has anyone given you flowers recently? Not recently.
Has anyone you know been arrested recently? No.
Do you have more than 1 email address? Yes.
Do you have central heating and air? Yes. Especially this time of year, I'd fucking die without it.
Are there any plants in your house? There's a decent amount because of Mom. I think it's mostly pothos.
Do you prefer cold or warm weather? COLD
Do you prefer bar or liquid soap? Liquid, I hate bar soap.
Do you wear any perfumes/colognes on a regular basis? No.
Do you have high or low self-esteem levels? Abysmally low.
When was the last time you listened to a song on repeat? What was the song? Um... I feel like it was a good few days ago. "Zwitter" by Rammstein.
Do you like mint or orange-flavored chocolate? Mint, yes. I don't feel like I've tried orange-flavored chocolate. I can imagine myself not liking the combo, but I can't guarantee that.
When was the last time you burnt your mouth from eating something too hot? Around a week ago when Mom made chicken fried rice.
What is your favorite foreign language to listen to? (In music or speech) I like how German sounds, but I also think I have a bias because when I hear it, I like to see how much I can translate.
Do you prefer instrumental songs or ones with lyrics? Lyrics.
Name something simple that makes you happy. A cold drink when I'm really thirsty. Sunrises and sunsets. The sound of rain. I'm very pleased that I'm pretty good at identifying small happinesses.
What is your favorite instrument to listen to? Electric guitar, violin, harp, piano, lots others.
Pick one: Books, movies or music? Music.
What was the last book you read about? It was a book in the Warriors series, in the "A Vision of Shadows" arc. The books are pretty thick with various events, but the primary plot was the Clans coming together to oust an invasion of murderous rogues that nearly destroyed their way of life.
When was the last time you used a quote from a movie in real life? I don't really do this unless I'm joking and making an obvious reference. I don't remember what it was anyway, though.
Can you put your legs behind your head? Hell no.
Do you forget things easily? You would not BELIEVE how horrendous my memory is. Like it is unfuckingreal. I feel like being overmedicated for so, so long is the reason, it just ate away at my brain.
The last song you listened to: Did it have a male or female vocalist? Male.
Have you ever had braces? Do you need them? I did as a pre-teen/teenager.
What does your voice sound like? (Loud, quiet, high-pitched, etc) I think it's somewhat deep for a woman, but not to where it sounds traditionally masculine. I tend to stutter and I can either talk too quietly or, if I'm excited or in some way passionate or just confident in an explanation, I've had it pointed out I speak too loudly.
What was the last topic you read about on Wikipedia? So I opened the page to Kamala Harris's political policies, but I promptly left it and read on a platform that isn't edited by random-ass people and wouldn't be rife with biases. I feel like in light of... recent events, I need to be more aware than ever of the policies of people who have a chance of having a say in my country's politics. I don't like Biden (But DO NOT BE MISTAKEN, I hate Trump a HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL of a lot more), but I have this hope that maybe Kamala will replace him. How, figure it out yourself.
Have you ever donated money to Wikipedia? No, that would be so low on my priorities of things to donate to if I even had money.
What board games did you play when you were growing up? A lot of Cranium brand games, Candyland, Life (modified rules to be easier for kids), Monopoly (modified rules for same reason), Mouse Trap (ngl we mostly played with the parts than the actual game haha), Operation, Checkers, I had a Crocodile Hunter game I loved, Battleship, lots of others. We had a big stock of board games to choose from.
Do you know any sign language? No.
When was the last time you bought new clothes? What did you get? Holy hell I have no idea.
Do you ever watch streamers on Twitch? Hazelnuttygames, sometimes. She's a WoW streamer.
Has your house ever been broken into? How did you find out? There was an attempt at my childhood home, but they didn't get in.
What do you usually eat for breakfast? Generally cereal.
Are you overwhelmed right now? Ha! Not as bad as I was yesterday. I reached a capacity of stress yesterday that for the vast majority of the day, I completely shut down. I don't remember the last time I was that stressed because of just everything going on in my life and in my country.
Did you share a bedroom with someone when you were growing up? My younger sister Nicole, yes.
How many group chats are you in? Do you participate in them much? I'm in one with Mazzy and Tez, and that's the only group chat I truly contribute to. I'm in the Tumblr community's Rammstein Discord, and I talk only rarely because it's just so busy and overwhelming that I get stressed trying to keep up lol.
Are you still in touch with any of your exes? No.
What do you do for work? I am humiliated to be my age (and not considered properly disabled) and not work. I'm trying my best to build a freelance nature photography career, but... that's a monumental task, if I'm honest. But I'm still trying. Freelance art is FUCKING HARD to make a living with.
Were you upset when you found out certain things weren’t real? (Santa, Tooth Fairy…) No. I was old enough by then to have doubted, so I wasn't surprised.
Name something you’re proud of. Brag a little bit. One of my proudest achievements is getting a Daily Deviation on deviantART. It's the biggest honor you can get on the site and is (generally, especially without connections) very hard to obtain.
Which store would you like to win $1000 for? Rebel's Market.
Do you pay any attention to celebrity drama? No. The only celeb drama I've ever paid attention to was when Till from Rammstein was forced into it by a sexual misconduct accusation. He's fucking innocent btw, this is well-supported, but Germany tends to hate Rammstein for unsound reasons and will NEVER cover the positives of the band. Any time his accuser was revealed to be full of absolute bullshit, their popular media never covered it. I don't want ANY assumptions made about me and my stance on sexual assault involving celebrities, you take EVERY accusation seriously and I kept my mouth shut while the investigation went down, I wanted the facts, and the facts are fucking nothing was found that damned Till. I don't defend him because he's in a band that I love, I defend him because of the absolute fucking lack of evidence and the documented bullshittery of Shelby (accuser). If there was actual evidence that Till was a sexual predator, I would drop my support of him so fuckin' fast, I can stake my life on that. I don't fuck with sexual predators, whether I'd originally liked them or not. I don't play that "but that's my homie!!!" game. WOW this was a ramble but I feel very strongly on this, it was such an ordeal.
What popular food do you dislike? Fried chicken wings. A LOT of things if I think about it for a moment.
Do you have any cats? Yes, Roman.
How many slices of pizza can you eat in 1 sitting? Rarely two; I usually have three. If I'm incredibly hungry, four. Of course, this does depend on the size of the slices.
