Tagged by @saikkunen. Thanks a lot, I like doing stuff like this and it’s been a while :3
What book are you currently reading? Brisingr (for those who’ve never heard of it, the third book in the series Eragon starts). I’ve read it few times before, but it’s been a while since I last did it. Still love the series. Also there’s Mariel of Redwall, with which I’ve been stuck for more than six months now. It is dangerous to re-read a book for a millionth of time when you remember that oh no, next is the part you don’t care about.
What’s your favorite movie you saw in theaters this year? I only went to see one movie in theaters in 2022 (yeah it’s already 2023, shut up), and it was Sonic 2. I did go see it 3 whopping times, so it’s pretty safe to say it’d be my favourite even if there were any others.
What do you usually wear? Uhhhh hoodies, fitting tank tops or t-shirts, loose pants. Colors vary, mostly black but there can be others.
How tall are you? 169cm.
What’s your Star Sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event? Libra. I do not know, Trafalgar Law from One Piece is close enough to a celebrity for me.
Do you go by your name or nickname? I choose to think this refers to irl, so name. My dad is literally the only one to ever call me nicknames or pet names.
Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child? I never really wanted to be anything but a tango queen when I was a kid, and that was when I was 4 or so. So, I guess ‘no idea’ came true.
Are you in a relationship? If not who is your crush if you have one? Nope. Also no crushes.
What’s something you’re good at vs something you’re bad at? Uhhh I guess I’m kinda good at drawing and writing? Maybe? Good is such a vague term. I do enjoy those, and I think that’s more important than being ‘’’good’‘‘ at things. I am bad at playing any instruments. Too many things you’re supposed to do simultaneously with your body.
Dogs or cats? Cats!!!! Dogs are also good, but cats make me more stupidly happy than any other creatures I’ve met.
If you draw/write, or create in any way, what’s your favorite picture/favorite line/favorite etc. from something you created this year? I have drawn some pretty good pictures this year, but I haven’t posted them online and I don’t feel like doing that now either. I do enjoy one undead wolf knight thingy I drew. I also like (still partly wip) doll’s bed I made a lot. I have written a lot, but isolating a single line is impossible.
What’s something you would like to create content for? Currently I’d like to doodle all of my favourite One Piece characters, but we’ll see when I’ll get to that. I have also been redrawing my oldest ocs with the same kids’ color pencils and other stuff as 20 years ago, and it’s been lots of fun. Overall I wanna work on my original projects more.
What’s something you’re currently obsessed with? Stardew Valley and Sonic Frontiers. Too bad I already completed the latter, I am waiting for the dlc’s to come. Also obsessed about my original projects.
What’s something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year? Dissapointment is for those who do not know how to keep their expectations and excitement realistic. Jokes aside, I am honestly fairly good at being realistic about things I’m interested in, and it is a very rare occasion I am actually dissapointed about something I was excited for first, and it didn’t happen in 2022.
What’s a hidden talent of yours? It wouldn’t be hidden if I told you, would it. Tbh, I have no idea. Organizing material things maybe? Keep your timetables and whatnot away from me, but let me rearrange those messy drawers and closets of yours.
Are you religious? Nah. I am slightly spiritual pagan of my own brand though.
Whats something you wish to have at this moment? Does not-ill body and mind free of constant anxiety count? If not, then Freedom Planet 2 Switch port would be nice, but that won’t be out before next summer.
Tagging: Nah, don’t really feel like atm. If you wanna do this, consider yourself tagged.

any hayley or steve childhood headcanons hell add stan if thats ok!!
oo !!
hayley ones:
hayley was always bringing weird animals inside and trying to convince stan and francine to let her keep them. multiple instances of her running inside, covered in dirt, and holding a garter snake begging ‘please please can we keep her??’ while steve screams in terror.
that hc i mentioned of francine always standing up for the other kids ,, hayley inherited that trait. my god she was The Most protective kid during her school years, she absolutely refused to let anyone get walked over when she knew they didn’t deserve it.
hayley was a wolf girl growing up,, change my mind. and black wolves were always her fave.
hayley definitely read animorphs growing up. those books shaped her and her fave character was cassie,,, also once she got more comfortable with living with roger she bullied him for not looking as cool as an andalite or a hork-bajir.
hayley went through an emo phase during her middle and high school years. she tried really hard to get an emo fringe, she was always blasting mcr and the used and three days grace, and her first job was at a hot topic.
hayley and stan were obviously tight-knit buds back in the day. like ,, she’d set up tea parties for them in the backyard, going out to movies was almost a weekly activity for the two of them, they were always planning picnics together,, they were really close. also every time they went to familyland together, hayley was always trying to drag him along with her to the more Extreme rides. francine kept telling her she’d go since she knew stan wasn’t the biggest fan of those rides like she was, but hayley kept insisting and it’d always end with stan near traumatized. big cia man goes on scary missions daily but he can’t handle a little roller coaster.
hayley’s hair was . pretty often a Mess when she was young. it was staticky, always sticking up at some angle, she often got too excited that she never took the time to comb out her hair in the mornings. plus it’s always been a habit of hers to play with her hair whenever she gets too excited or nervous, so even if she got it all straightened out it’d still turn into a mess by the end of the day.
hayley was always covered in scrapes and bruises. there was never a day where she didn’t have a bandaid somewhere.
she was a really tall kid during elementary school. she was almost always the tallest kid in her class. around high school everyone outgrew her though and now she’s . really short compared to most people her age, but yeah when she was little . Tall Girl (2019).
hayley skateboarded in middle school, and she was really damn good at it. she got in loads of trouble for skateboarding on school property and she thought she was the coolest kid for doing it.
stan and francine tried really hard not to curse around hayley when she was little (once steve came around they gave up trying), but occasionally something would slip out and hayley would always parrot it. stan looking at a bill and muttering ‘shit’ and then in the living room hearing what is obviously a toddler screaming ‘SHIT’
hayley, like steve, was always kinda lonely during her school years. steve eventually found friends in snot, barry, toshi, and roger too once he moved in, but hayley never really learned proper social skills as she was often pushed away for being the loud rowdy ‘annoying’ kid, and they always viewed her attempts to try to get close to others as too ‘desperate’. she has found friends in her adulthood, but yeah during her childhood she mostly just stuck around her family.
hayley was That Kid who would always use those fake clip-on earrings you’d get from claires, as well as cutting up the spiral from her notebook to use as a fake lip piercing, and she’d spend all day trying to convince her classmates ‘yeah no it’s real’
hayley liked stealing her dad’s camera and using it to film fake vlogs. they have multiple reels that go from cute family videos, to hayley making lps vids and fake cooking tutorials.
hayley drew a lot growing up and francine still has dozens of her drawings magneted to the fridge. hayley’s always cringing and asking her to take them down, but tbh francine’s never going to.
hayley’s always loved being outside at night. occasionally she’d sneak steve out with her to play in the backyard and it’d always lead to them in the treehouse, and stan catching them because they kept shining their flashlight against their bedroom window.
steve ones:
steve’s definitely adhd, autistic, and dyslexic. (the latter’s literally canon, and the two former ones are hcs that to me feel so obvious that i’m always a little hesitant calling it a hc). i really like imagining his parents being really patient with him in this area, even stan learned to be more composed and gentle with him when it came to this, and the two of them helping him find ways to cope. francine especially enjoyed nights helping him read.
steve’s interest in birds has been with him for pretty much his entire life, i like to imagine it’s always been his biggest special interest. also i’ve noticed there’s random scenes where stan’s displayed a bit of an interest or at least an appreciation of birds, so i kinda like to imagine stan used to take steve to the park for birdwatching trips when he was young before steve started going with roger. sometimes francine and hayley would tag along, but mostly it was just stan taking steve out and listening to him ramble about all the birds he’s spotting,, every time steve had a bad day stan’s immediate solution was to take him to the park.
when roger first moved in, he and steve were inseparable. steve was obsessed with learning everything about him and his species and his home planet, while roger saw steve as the one safe person to be around (francine, hayley, and klaus were still anxious towards him while stan was too strict and controlling for him). for a good few months until he started bonding with the rest of the fam roger would get really mopey whenever steve would go to school or leave to hang with his other friends, and the second steve walked through that door roger would excitedly hug him and try to lead him off to go do something together.
@a-d-lesbian got me into the hc that steve’s a theater kid and like ,, i’m always thinking about steve getting a tiny little background role in a 6th grade christmas show that they were required to do as a class, and he just loses his mind. he convinces stan and francine to let him invite the grandparents, he has francine film every scene he’s in where he just . Stands There. and then after the show when they get home he makes them all rewatch them all because he’s really damn proud of himself.
steve’s fave books growing up were always xenofiction. stuff like warrior cats and guardians of ga’hoole and redwall. he loved that shit. like i’m just imagining him trying to get his friends to larp warrior cats but none of them read it so they don’t know what he wants them to do, and he keeps assigning them warrior cat sonas and calling them by warrior cat names at school,, and he keeps calling god ‘starclan’ (which makes stan. Mad). am i projecting? that’s a secret, i’ll never tell.
steve was absolutely the Anime Kid in middle school. the amount of times he got yelled at for naruto running in the hallways was far too much. and his faves were fruits basket, nichijou, and k-on.
i’m so obviously projecting with my steve hcs here but i’m not gonna stop and i’m gonna say steve’s a trans guy. i know it makes no sense in canon, but canon’s dead it’s mine now. anyways he’s known since around the time he started middle school, and stan and francine love him and support him and i don’t have much else to say without getting Too Projecting, but yeah steve’s trans.
steve was pretty socially anxious growing up. he did get better as he grew older obv, but when he was little he was A Mess in school.
steve loved making flower crowns when he was little. he learned how to in his 2nd grade art class and just obsessed over it for a good few years and he was always making them for the fam. francine, stan, and hayley didn’t mind, they thought it was cute. i can see hayley learning to make them too and the two of them exchanging crowns,, and francine probably learned how to make some too during her college years and steve would always get really excited whenever she tried making some with him. poor roger though, once he moved in, steve took him as his new model and roger was forced to suffer through sitting in the hot sun while steve covered him in flowers.
steve never stopped singing. oh my god, stan loves him but he eventually reached a point where he started hiding their disney movies because steve would always loudly sing along and he just wanted some peace and quiet to work.
i like to imagine klaus has a sibling-esque relationship with pretty much the entire fam, but especially with steve. he was always pretty protective of him despite not really being able to do anything if he got hurt, and klaus was always there to talk to whenever steve needed it.
steve’s always liked to help francine bake. originally it was just so he could claim the mixer of batter before hayley could, but he quickly got really invested and he still loves helping out.
and in general for the both of them:
steve was the type of kid who bonked his head against the table a little and would spend the rest of the night crying while francine comforted him,, while hayley was the type of kid who could fly down the stairs and leave an actual dent in the wall and she’d still jump up assuring everyone ‘i’m okay!!’
hayley and steve used to play pokemon together growing up. hayley was more casually into it while steve was more obsessed (i like to imagine it was a special interest of his growing up). nowadays hayley doesn’t play it too often, but every now and then some big news will happen like new starters getting revealed, and steve will show her and hayley still can’t help but get at least a bit excited each time.
francine tried to do cute little family halloween costumes a few years. the idea of them doing an addams family group costume is precious.
francine always took them out for christmas photos every year. just dozens of photos of the four of them in the tackiest sweaters. they don’t do it as often anymore (or at least they don’t take as many photos outside of a few while they’re setting up the tree) but they still have framed photos of them that they set on the fireplace mantle every year.
listen …….. there were definitely multiple instances when they were really little of stan coming home from work ,, and steve and hayley excitedly tackling him,,,, and stan dramatically acting like he’s being attacked and losing ,,,
despite roger being a Dick, he was super protective of the two of them back in the day. either of them come home from school with a bruise, and roger’s already planning out an elaborate revenge scheme.
as for stan ,,
i’m adopting @stancine’s hc to say he was definitely a country boy. i kinda like to imagine his uncle on his mother’s side lived on a farm, and stan was really close to him growing up and it just sorta became monthly to take weekend trips to see him.
stan loved horses. he was definitely a Horse Kid, and his fave breeds are clydesdales and friesians.
sheep too!! one of his favorite yearly activities is during the springtime when his uncle helps him out with shearing the sheep.
also stan loved camping. he loved going out on walks through the woods and he especially loved fishing, but the second the sun went down he cowered in the back of the tent next to his mom because he was terrified of the noises coming from outside.
stan was a really quiet kid growing up. he sucked at properly standing up for himself, that’s kinda the reason he’s so harsh on steve for accepting mistreatment because he knows how hard it is and he doesn’t want his son to go through the same shit he did.
mother’s day was always one of his favorite holidays. he’d be obsessed with planning the whole day around trying to make it perfect for betty. making her breakfast in bed and saving up his allowance to buy her a gift, and he’d always make elaborate art projects for her every year.
stan . tried to learn how to ride a motorcycle in high school. it was this random obsession he got for no reason where he just really wanted one, but he always panicked whenever he got the chance to try one out. never even got his permit because he was so scared.
stan had a lot of pent-up anger as a kid that he never even recognized as anger until he got older. because of that he often broke his toys on accident because something wasn’t working correctly, and sometimes he’d snap at teachers on accident. obv he still had a problem with it but at least now he knows what’s going on and can at least try to work on dealing with it.
betty used to read to stan at night when he was really young. they didn’t have many books around so it was just stan listening to her read the same four dr. seuss books over and over. he didn’t mind though.
stan’s always loved writing and a good chunk of his free time was writing little short stories. he took a creative writing class in high school and he almost immediately became the teacher’s pet.
stan was a pretty lonely socially inept kid and i like to think growing up he tried getting a lot of his ‘advice’ on how to interact with others through television. one time he tried to get a girl’s attention by doing the ‘throwing pebbles at their window’ trope, but he fucked up and got too big a stone and threw it too hard, and just shattered this poor girl’s window. and stan spent the rest of the night crying in his room before caving and turning himself in.
i can see him being really into superheroes when he was younger. just him bounding around the house with a blanket for a cape, acting out random scenes he read out of the latest issue he bought.
stan was obv a dog kid. he’d often find himself going to the adoption shelter near his house just to see the dogs there whenever he was feeling down. and his fave breeds were golden retrievers, pit bulls, and shelties.
god i have tons more for all of them but i’m gonna stop because this is already long enough as it is.

teacup, doll, kitsch
teacup: what are 5 of your favorite songs at the moment?
Train Song - Vashti Bunyan, covered by Feist and Ben Gibbard (I’ve known about the Vashti version for awhile and I love it. Recently found the cover and i’ve been listening to it all day).
Orby - Cosmo Sheldrake
Cinnamon Girl - Lana del Rey
No Woman - Whitney
Satellite - Guster
doll: describe yourself through a mixture of fictional characters
Tumblr media
Jughead Jones: A weirdo. Always hungry. Always high.
Tumblr media
Dipper and Mabel: If you could really condense my personality I feel I could relate to these two (they’re probably built to be relatable). I can be very active, loving, and stimulated. I try not to express my frustration/anger openly but sometimes after all that crud builds up I can snap. I love walking around the forest, drawing, writing, awkward. Kind of alone. Still naive and I’m got a lot to learn.
Tumblr media
I’m fully aware how weird this one is gonna be...before Rocketman I knew very little about Elton John (not fictional I know I know...sorry to be that guy). I’m not famous and I only make music in my dreams but the movie really dug into my heart because 1) it’s sad! and 2) kind of a relatable story in terms of an artist who struggles with heart break consistently, is thought to have an unconventional appearance, is insecure, and a drug addict who uses primarily to cover up the pain and fear of never being worthy of love.
Again, Elton is a real person, I’ve never met him in my life and I’m not saying we’re that similar at all, but i just recognized some things personally (also I ran out of characters). I’m glad his life improved!!
kitsch: what are your favorite books?
Lullabies For Little Criminals (Heather O’Neill), Un Lun Dun (China Melville), Harry Potter series tbh (really bad at HP trivia though), still have a soft spot for the Redwall series, Of Bees and Mist (Erick Setiawan--i’ve only read this book once, a few years ago but I would looooovvvvveee to read it again. it’s beautiful). And others!
Thank you!

top five childhood books or series? :0
I have so many favorites from when I was a kid!
1. Artemis fowl was my favorite by a long shot, I read that series probably a dozen times tbh. It’s such a shame that the movie whitewashed holly short, I had a huge crush on her as a kid, she said butch lesbian rights! She really affected me, in a “I want to be that cool” kind of way. Only cop allowed at Pride.
2. Percy Jackson and the spinoffs are phenomenal and I really need to read the magnus chase ones! It was awesome seeing a main character who also has adhd, and it wasn’t negative at all! I loved Greek mythology and I learned a lot from it. The representation in the series is fantastic too, with gay and genderfluid characters, and a lot of poc protagonists, disabled characters, etc. props to rick riordan! And all of them were written well!
3. Redwall was an absolute delight. They were so fun and charming and the descriptions of food were mouthwatering. A lot of the characters were really silly and they had some good, classic Villian archetypes. I was always confused about the size descrepancies tho; were the animals the same size as real life? Or were they all roughly the same size? If I was a mouse I could never fight a fox or badger!
4. Warrior cats, I still read them today (I’m actually reading lost stars right now). I read the first book when I was 9, and it captured my imagination immediately. They’re surprisingly dark and dramatic. The problem is the writers don’t always communicate and there’s weird continuity errors and poorly written characters or characters just getting a terrible end (killing leafpool? Offscreen? Bullshit)
5. The hunger games is maybe more of a teen trilogy I guess, but tbh the books were so much better than the movies. I have a special place in my heart for those books, and it’s sad to think of all the ways the movies messed up the books. They tried to turn it into a romantic love triangle thing and while there’s some in the books it’s a much minor focus. And the ending... when she shoots coin instead... blew my mind. Powerful stuff. No teen dystopian trilogy has even come close to THG (looking at you, Jane Dashners the Maze Runner and Veronica Roth’s Divergent. Marie Lu’s Legend and Michael Grants Bzrk were good though. And not really aimed at teens but Hugh Howey’s Silo trilogy was damn good. And yeah just to throw out some more sci-fi trilogies you should read, check out Newsflesh and Parasitology by Mira Grant).

21 Questions Tag
I was tagged by @lady-redshield-writes (thanks so much!)
No pressure to do it, but tagging: @amvi1323, @lemonadeandlanguages, @nekojitachan, @breannascribbles, @raven-reyes-reads, @flo-lore-writes, @longsightmyth, @wizardheart83, @stephaniewrites, @storysparksblog
1. Short stories, novels, or poems?
I read and write a mix of both, though I’m usually better at finishing short stories and poems tbh. I like all of them; each of them have a unique way of telling something to a reader.
2. What genre do you prefer reading?
Fantasy mostly, with some science fiction and historical fiction, followed by smaller amounts of dystopia, horror, comedy, and contemporary reads. Oh and I spend about half my time also reading nonfiction about various things. I don’t really mind if the genre fiction also has romance, as long as it’s well-written.
3. What genre do you prefer writing?
Fantasy and science fiction with humor/satire/subversive stuff woven in. Also I don’t shy away from creepy stuff.
More answers behind the cut:
4. Are you a planner or a write-as-I-go kind of person?
I tend to first start writing when I get inspiration, then once I run out of steam, I go back and make a brief outline/notes doc of what I want to say in the fic and how I think it will happen when I write it. Also I make some brief notes about character backgrounds, how they look, what drives them, their major flaws etc. And then I get back into writing/revising the story again! Repeat as needed. 
5. What music do you listen to while writing?
Oh, I have so many playlists. I even have some for the specific stories I’m writing! I listen to instrumental music, soundtracks, my favorite bands, etc. When I need to focus and knock something out, I put on the music that doesn’t have ads that will interrupt me (aka I don’t listen to Spotify then since those advertisements are The Worst). My favorite playlist for this is linked to my Amazon account so unfortunately I can’t share it (unless I convert it into a Spotify), but it’s called “Motivational” and does exactly what it says on the tin.
6. Fave books/movies?
Hoo boy. Settle in, y’all.
Books: the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, the Redwall series by Brian Jacques (like this series was literally my childhood), Graceling Realm trilogy by Kristin Cashore, His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman, Tamora Pierce’s Tortall and Emelan books, Lord of the Rings, The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede, The Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn, More Than Enough by Elizabeth Wambheim, Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, American Gods by Neil Gaiman, All For the Game by Nora Sakavic, Harry Potter, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee, The Elements of Eloquence by Mark Forsyth, Wonderbook by Jeff VanderMeer, The Flavor Bible by Andrew Dornenburg and Karen A. Page
Movies: How to Train Your Dragon, Rogue One, Pride and Prejudice, Finding Nemo, Treasure Planet, The Prince of Egypt, Lilo and Stitch, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, The Big Short, Take the Lead, Drumline, Lord of the Rings (but not The Hobbit), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python’s Life of Brian, the first Avengers movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Deadpool, Wonder Woman, Black Panther, Love Simon, Bridesmaids, Love Actually, American Beauty
7. Any current WIPs?
Yup, and I still haven’t made pages for them yet! (Maybe after finals are over in two months... *sigh*)
The first one is nicknamed “Autumn” because after 5+ years, I still don’t have a good name for it yet. Actually I haven’t really figured out the best names for anything because the conlang is incredibly unfinished. Heh. It’s a romantic comedy/fantasy.
Featuring:
Tija: a stressed out and anxious academic who’s the daughter of some high-ranking people in her nation’s government which makes her important by proxy; can’t get enough of tea. Isha: Tija’s highly curious nephew who gets placed under her care for his apprenticeship and often gets into trouble due to being too inquisitive. Tel: a placid and thoughtful person who is also a professional dancer from an island nation who is leaving along with their cousin Arona before the borders close again and ends up running into Tija & co. Arona: easily frustrated and moody and misses her friends and being able to use her home country’s sign language wherever she goes but at the same time loves to try new things and also has a form of illusion magic. 
The other one is a medical drama fantasy, again without a name, and features:
Suvi: big medical nerd, loves books and learning, also really loves her friends, but terrified of messing up and harming a patient Hana: Suvi’s best friend, talks too much and loves long conversations, has a hard time concentrating but means well and always wants to help. Kaisa: their mentor/teacher, a notorious hard-ass because she wants her students to learn things properly, and yeah that’s about it because I need to develop her further
8. If someone were to make a cartoon out of you, what would your standard outfit be?
Dark skinny jeans or boot-cut jeans, a soft t-shirt underneath my pale green hoodie, black Vans, messy curls, glasses
9. Create a character description for yourself.
An anxious, smol brunette who runs on coffee, tea, and nerves and has a bad habit of talking and walking fast and can’t sit in chairs properly. Lives in her comfy hoodies almost permanently and is too lazy to put on makeup most days “a la fuck it who cares” kinda mentality. Except when she goes all out to dress up and I mean all out. Most likely to be found in front of her laptop, on her phone, bustling around in the kitchen, or rushing to get somewhere at breakneck speed.
10. Do you like incorporating people you actually know into your writing?
I might put in certain traits into my characters every now and again, but not usually, no. And generally not intentionally, either. I just notice the resemblance after the fact.
11. Are you kill-happy with characters?
Considering the sorts of stories I write, not exactly. Most of them don’t exactly give me any reason to kill off characters because they’re dramatic, but not that sort of dramatic. Hmm, though Suvi and Hana’s story does feature a deadly disease that does kill a lot of people before their medical team swoops in to start tackling it.
12. Dream job?
Editing other people’s novels and writing my own on the side. Even when it was just the early days of my time on the internet, I really liked reading other people’s stories, learning from them, leaving comments, and also critique whenever they asked for it from me. I get really happy when I see people make progress in their writing.
13. Coffee or tea while writing?
Both. Both is good. Coffee with milk or tea with milk is good. So is a really nice herbal tea, like roobios.
14. Slow or fast writer?
Fast spurts with really long intervals of not writing in between. Some weeks it’s 0, some weeks it’s 1000s of words, idk. I can force myself to do an almost daily writing habit, which makes me have some consistency, but I tend to lose the habit really fast, especially during the semester.
15. Where/who/what do you find inspiration from?
Artwork, images that spring into my head, random bits of dialogue, music (especially for the Autumn fic!), other forms of media, dancing (for Tel in particular), comedians, other writers who inspire me to keep writing
16. If you were put into a fantasy world, what would you be?
Probably a merchant girl who is devoted to her work but also secretly does something creative on the side and helps out the badass heroes when they stop in my city for a bit.
17. Fave book cliche? Least fave book cliche?
Favorite cliche (or at least, one of my favorites): That moment when a character realizes that they’re in love/falling in love with another character and internally slaps their forehead as if to say “I can’t believe I didn’t realize it before!”
Least favorite cliche: When a female character is reduced to being characterized by whomever she’s dating. Ugh.
18. Fave places to write?
When I have the sudden urge to write something down, anywhere that I have access to my phone or laptop or a notepad and pen (but I’ll even settle for a Post-It in a pinch)
19. Fave scenes to write?
The little moments that reveal something about a character that readers probably didn’t know before. Something that plays with their expectations or makes them wonder what else they don’t know about the character.
20. Most productive time of day for writing?
Whenever I get off my lazy butt and start writing. Generally this is in the afternoon or evening since it takes a while for my brain to wake up in the mornings, especially for creative work.
21. Reason for writing:
There are stories and characters I want to read about, but since no one else has written them into existence, I guess I gotta do it. Plus, my characters can be very, very noisy in my head sometimes while they’re bugging me to write about them and feeding my imagination bits of their dialogue and images and dramatic scenes. They want to exist somewhere outside of my head, and so I let my writing help them do that.

3) Do you prefer paper books or ebooks? Paper for the aesthetic, but I’m finding myself reading more and more on my kindle cuz i can read in bed with the lights off and it’s easier carrying one (1) kindle in my backpack when i travel than 1324256 books like i used to
4) When did you start writing? I’ve been storytelling since I could talk (so around 2 1/2 years old?) and writing since i could hold a pencil (5 years old ish). my first multi-chaptered story was a Redwall fanfiction that I wrote when I was 10. It was like 64 chapters long or something, over 100 pages, and you bet your ass i printed that shit out and i still have it. i was really proud of it, and i still am tbh. for a 10 year old that was pretty impressive
5) Do you have someone you trust that you share your work with? I talk often with @bibbidibobbididette, always trying to hold back spoilers but never quite able to because i’m just dying to tell someone ahaha; i also frequently yell at @maltedmilkchocolate because she’s super encouraging and listens to me ramble and gets excited with me and is just super awesome
6) Where is your favourite place to write? At home or Starbucks or Barnes and Noble, on my laptop~
7) Favourite childhood book? ah geez I’ve read so many books over my lifetime . . . if I recall correctly, though, my favorites back then were The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, The Client by John Grisham, and the Jedi Apprentice/Jedi Quest/Last of the Jedi books by Jude Watson. XD I also really enjoyed the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer, all of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson books (which I still read), the Redwall series by Brian Jacques, and tbh I loved the rest of the Chronicles of Narnia series, LWW was just my favorite. I literally read that book until it fell apart.
There are so many more books that I have greatly enjoyed over the years, and still do, but I guess if you asked what books shaped my childhood/teen years it’s those ^^ and you can kinda get a feel for why i write what i do now from that, ahaha
8) Writing for fun or writing for publication? For fun, always. I’ve never gotten published, and tbh I’m terrified of putting my work out there professionally. I don’t think I’m good enough or I don’t have a story good enough (or short enough) to try and publish in like lit magazines and stuff ;;; but everything I write, I write because I have a story I want to tell. If I don’t feel the story with everything in my being, then it’s not worth writing tbh
9) Pen and paper or computer? Computer. I’ll outline and take notes sometimes on pen and paper, and I’ve written some short things long-handed on planes and such, but I prefer working on my laptop
10) Have you ever taken any writing classes? Sort of? I’m getting my BFA in Creative Writing for Entertainment, so I guess that kind of counts as taking writing classes?
11) What inspires you to write? Everything. People, movies, music, nature, love, life, struggle, heartache. I usually have something I want to say in my writings, and that something usually revolves around unconditional love. I’m very much a believer in unconditional love being able to save people. It’s really important to me, and I just want to write about it in every way and in every scenario imaginable.
It’s late and I’m not coming up with anyone to tag, but if you’re a writer and you want to do this . . . consider yourself tagged!!

Myu Reads
I am making a list of books/series that I read and enjoyed over the past few years, especially since I began listening to audio books regularly. I am making this list not in order of favorite to least but In The Order of Fluff to Grimdark.
The Wind in the Willows.
Charming characters, each with unique personalities, a classic, well-written series of short stories that has lessons for all ages to learn.
The Wizard of Oz.
Experience the magic of Oz. Much of which was removed in the classic movie adaptation. It wasn’t a dream after all.
Anne of Green Gables.
The tale of a spunky orphan girl being taken in by an middle-aged brother and sister duo.
A family dynamic that is not seen in modern westernized settings any longer.
Slice of Life. Light reading. The first book is the best book.
Howl’s Moving Castle.
Howl is a roguish wizard out to have fun and games manipulating the world around him. Sophie just wants to make hats and live a simple life, but is forced by a curse into adventure and into the path of Howl.  
The movie and book are only alike on the surface. There is more charm in the books and Howl actually has a backstory.   
Mrs. Frisby and the rats of NIMH
A tale of a mom wanting to save her children, told on top of the story of humanity corrupting nature and abusing animals.
A true “strong female protag” without the need of the female being either cruel, cold, or emotionally distant.
A Wizard of Earthsea
The movie Tales from Earthsea used the character’s names only and lifted elements from all the books rather than just adapting the first one.
Honestly I remember more from the sequel books more than I do the first one.
The Chronicles of Prydan (The Book of Three, The Black Cauldron)
A hero’s tale of a simple boy, an assistant pig keeper, wanting to become something greater and finding out that being a hero it isn’t all glory and fame. 
Characters and Lands based off of old Welsh mythologies, the same ones that also inspired the Welsh folk heroes that later became King Arthur’s Court.
The Once and Future King
The Sword in the Stone half of the book would have made it closer to the top of the list. But the second half involved some rather graphic deaths and fights (a gory depiction of killing a unicorn among them).
Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter of Mars (Barsoom) and Tarzan
Both characters helped define what would later become the modern super hero genera.
John Carter was a direct inspiration to Super Man and the Tharks popularized the idea of little “green men” of Mars. (The entire population of Barsoom are very color-coordinated, tbh. Green, Red, Black, White, Yellow). Many ideas created in this series are prolific in Science Fiction of today.
Tarzan of the Apes can be read by itself, no need to get into the later books. The original character is so popular that any attempt to stray too far from the core characterization leads into disaster. The movie “Greystoke” is perhaps still the best adaptation of the character to screen, and it was a deconstruction of the character.
Redwall
It is easy to get away with whole-sale death when it is done with animals, however many of the animals act human-like and that needs to be taken in consideration
Baby’s first “Dark Fantasy”. Dialog is written plainly for younger audiences, but subject matter is straight out of adult fantasy (mass murder, kidnapping, slavery, war of attrition).
Harry Potter
If you just watched the movies you are missing out on a lot of the descriptions and world-building in the books, especially in the second half of the series: Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix,  Half-Blood Prince, and Deathly Hollows.
The second half is when the series went from older-child reading to young adult as the characters went from child to teenagers in the books themselves. 
Ready Player One, Armada
An easy introduction to retro 80′s and 90′s pop culture, old computer games, and science fiction dystopia. 
If you are a layman, a young adult, or didn’t pay attention to most of the media during that era the books do gloss over and explain most of the references made.... sometimes too often. 
Armada is not as well seeped in pop culture as RPO, but it is a much more streamlined story and you can get a clearer judge on the author’s actual writing capabilities without the kick-back of nostalgia. 
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
There are just somethings that can’t translate well from text to screen.
One of those series that is best when read in High school or if you are a fan of British Humor.
The Scarlet Pimpernel
A masked hero come to save French Aristocrats and Nobility from the guillotine of the Revolutionist Government. Among one of the first novels to set down the common tropes for heroes with secret identities to come. 
History and backstory might be a bit too heavy for younger audiences to understand.
The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection
There are two great audio book versions of this: one by Simon Vance, the other by Stephen Fry. Vance is a long time audio book professional and also narrated the Dune books and in general just having him read the book is a good indicator that it would be done well.  Fry is a famous comedian and colorful character actor and was in the recent Holmes movies as Mycroft Holmes. 
Barns n Noble has a beautiful leather-bound hardback edition of the Complete Collection as well for $25, if you are the type of person that reads the book and listens to the audio at the same time. The book will look nice on your shelf afterwards.
Victorian/Edwardian Horror-Romance: Frankenstein, Dracula, Phantom of the Opera
Classic stories, adapted and retold many times, it is always nice to get a perspective on the original works if you are only familiar with their newer incarnations.
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
Darker than the movie. 
A reminder that all N*zis are bad. 
Children characters get killed just as often as adult characters
Deals heavily with mental issues and adults/authority figures gaslighting children.
Neil Gaiman’s The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Stardust
A couple “lighter” examples of Gaiman’s work. 
Stardust is classic fantasy with a bittersweet ending.
Ocean is told mostly through the POV of an adult remembering his “magical” neighbors as a kid and his traumatic experiences with his parents and babysitter.
The Lost Fleet Series
What the modern space battle genera should be.
The battles are in real-time, using real physics. It may take hours or even days to find out if that heavy ballistics missile is going to hit its target or if the target moved out the way.
The characters are typical for the genera, but are still engaging. Though the love-triangle rears its ugly head.  
NPC’s  (Spells, Swords, and Stealth Series)
A new game is hitting select markets. One that has consequences not only for the characters in the game, but the players. NPCs inside the game find themselves thrust into the role of adventurers when a PC party drops dead in their small town.
Classic “role reversal”  or unconventional class/char combos  (Gnome Paladin?  Half-Orc Wizard? Noble Lady Barbarian?  City Guard Rogue?) It’s kind of the norm now days after the whole “Drizz’t the Ranger Dark Elf” became so popular in the 90′s.
Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (Trilogy)
The first official trilogy of the Star Wars Expanded Universe, now known as the Legacy series.
It is always interesting to read through some of the EU to see what the Cinematic Universe is “borrowing” from.
Grand Admiral Thawn was such a popular character that he survived being rebooted.
2001: A Space Odyssey
If you have no idea what was going on in the movie. The book will help.
H. P. Lovecraft’s Collection of Horror
There are lots of copy cats, but only one original H. P. Lovecraft.
Mild in terms of today’s standards, but still thought provoking.
Good you are still wanting something creepy/spooky with out it being full of gore, swearing, or other ‘adult’ content, or looking for nothing exceedingly long
A “next step up” after reading Dracula, Frankenstein, and other fiction of that era (penny dreadful, or horror romances). 
Heinlein’s Lazarus Long Universe (basically, most of his books)
It is decent until the last 5 books when things really get duct-taped together, then you’ll want to pull your hair out
Time Enough For Love, Number of the Beast, Cat that Walks through Walls, and To Set Sail Beyond the Sunset are some of the worst offenders.
An Incest warning is needed. 
The ideas of these stories are timeless, the writing not so much. Characters are antiquated and firmly in the “men’s club”  of old-school science fiction. (Even the “strong female protag” in some of the stories still find time to be a wife and mother above all else. Many of the relationships are “open relationships,” so frequent wife/girlfriend swapping)
Starship Troopers
If you ignore the rest of Heinlein’s work, make an exception to at least read this one
Warns of the dangers of being in a global totalitarian society.
POC main character. Juan “Johnny” Rico. Something that was unheard of at the time of publishing.
The Silo Series (Wool/Rust)
Post-Apocalypse science fiction.
Not as dark as say something like bleak The Road or the bloody Red Rising, a PG-13 book.
Set firmly in the middle-ground of fiction despite the setting, the characters aren’t one-note, a solid little series of books and short stories
With some editing it could have been an other dystopia YA series.
The Great Book of Amber (The Amber and Chaos Chronicles)
High fantasy written with a modern voice. A Shakespeare and Arthurian setting. Avalon, Oberon, The “fairy realm,” Civil War. Court intrigue, back stabbing, fratricide. Unicorns.
Written in the 70′s and 80′s. Likely inspiration for other series like ASOIAF, Dresden, and The Witcher. Suggest reading this one before either of them.
The two main POV characters are enjoyable with a snarky sense of humor. The side characters have personality as well.
Multi-dimensional universe, one of the better ones.
Has a Table Top Game.
Welcome to Nigh Vale: A Novel.
Quarkie, Mysterious, and odd.
Heavily inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, X-files, and other conspiracy theory genera, but treated in a mundane manner which makes it unnerving in itself.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (AKA: Blade Runner)
The book that inspired Blade Runner. To the point that many further publications of the book often call itself Blade Runner instead of its actual name (including the audio version).  
The book and moves are only alike in theme, and some plot points
The book is bleaker, more Fallout than Ghost In the Shell.
Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune
The “Lord of the Rings” of Science Fiction. 
What started out as a “deconstruction” of campy science fiction like John Carter and Flash Gorden, and a “take that” to Issac Asimov and Heinlein’s style of writing shaped all science fiction written afterwards.
GRRM (A Song of Ice and Fire)  is often compared to Herbert... for good and bad reasons.
Neuromancer.
The book that brought us the first REAL Cyberpunk in the 80′s.
It is interesting to see the ways they thought computers would be part of 21st century society back in the Cold War Era.
Mort(e)
Animals take over the world killing most of mankind along with it. 
A mysterious “virus” sweeps through the animal population, and the Ants in charge began culling the animals to remove it.
The Hunger Games Trilogy.
There is a lot less HAM in the books than in the movies.
Upper Young Adult. Class Warfare.  Post Apocalyptic Dystopia.  Children killing children.
You can get into Katness’s head a lot easier, understand her reasons for being emotionally distant with people.   
Jurassic Park, The Lost World
Dinosaurs and Assholes. Perfect Michael Crichton books.
The second one should be read just for the fact that the movie is nothing like it. The first movie had a passable resemblance, with some character tweaks... the second movie barely resembles the book at all.
The second attempt of Crichton writing a series about “high-tech theme parks gone wrong” (the first being Westworld)
Android’s Dream (John Scalzi)
When you find out why the book is called “Android’s Dream”... feel free to be grossed out. 
Let’s just say the book isn’t about androids...
The Illuminatus Trilogy
Written in the 70′s. Plenty of Sex, Drugs, and Rock-and-Roll.
Some of the conspiracy theories will throw you for a loop, then suddenly you’ll remember that this is a comedy/parody book and gods are real.
fnord.
Cryptonomicon
A long fictional account about the invention of computers. Told against the backdrop of WWII and the Early 2000′s internet boon. 
I feel this one is on par with the Illumanatus Trilogy when it comes to tone and feel, but with no magic-chaos-cults involved.
Parodies of Historical figures, large a corporation with their fingers in many-o-pot, main characters that would be considered counter-cultured for their time period finding themselves in over-the-top situations.
Neil Gaiman’s American Gods
Personally I found the book to be slow and meandering, but interesting as a whole. 
Basically defines what people think Gaiman’s style is. Dark imagery, weird shit happening, and lots of contemplating your navel.
The Comoran Strike Detective Novels.
What J. K. Rowling is doing whenever she isn’t milking the corpse of Harry Potter. 
Would be a better series in general without the fake love triangle...
The Godfather
The movie is better than the book, but then the movie is like in the top-5 best movies of ALL TIME. 
The movie does follow the book for the most part, with some variation for time and content.
The Guns of August (Non-Fiction, WWI novel)
Accounts what caused WWI and the events of the first two months of the war. 
It doesn’t demonize the Germans, Russians, or any of the sides in particular. It explains quite clearly as to what all their motivations were getting into this war and how the war ended up becoming a complete slog.
Realm of The Elderlings Series (Robin Hobb)
If you ever want to experience “the feelz” in book form.
The relationship between FitzChivalry and the Fool is one of the most anguished you’ll ever read about.
There is a lot of ship baiting however, as the Fool is genderfluid and Fitz refuses to believe their relationship is anything other than close-brotherly love...
About 60% of the entire series is seen through FitzChivalry “head as thick as a brick” Farseer ‘s POV, be prepared for lots of PTSD.
The Mists of Avalon
The classic tale of King Arthur imagined and told through the eyes of the women of the court.
There are no real villains in the series, even the most morally dark among them have justifiable reasons for what they are doing. Unlike something like Once and Future King. Mordred, Morgause and Morgan are not evil stereotypes, they have human real-world reasons for what they do.
The Red Rising Trilogy
The Adult Fiction version of The Hunger Games.... In SPACE.
Color-coded for your convenience.
All the surrounding characters are more interesting than the main character.
Your favorite character is likely going to die.
Darrow always reminding you about his fridged wife... even after he finds a replacement goldfish.
The Cycle of Arawn, The Cycle of Galand
In a world of black magic and white magic, it isn’t always clear on which side is good or evil.
Plot holes you can drive a truck through, or at least hope will get resolved/remembered in later installments.
Most of the charm of this series is the relationship between Dante and Blaze. The way they both converse with each other and the people around them is very reminiscent of Buffy Speak.
The Dresden Files (Harry Dresden... Wizard) 
Dresden has a great mix of humor and cynicism.
Plenty of action, not entirely predictable in plot, and a heaping helping of stopping the forces of evil from destroying all existence.
A modern-era fantasy with plenty of demons, fairies, vampires, and ghost. Never loses the feel that it is set in the modern times. 
Stephen King’s Horror-Fiction (The Stand, Under The Dome, IT, The Shining/Doctor Sleep)
The human condition at its worse told in speculative horror fiction.
The Forgotten Warrior Series (Son of the Black Sword)
Future Earth, brought back to an age of magic (or science-like magic) when demons fell from the sky and ravaged the planet. An entire race, the last survivors of the people that turned away the demons and drove them to the sea, are forced to live as slaves, vagabonds, and in perpetual poverty.
The Witcher Novels
Books are published OUT OF ORDER in America. Please read The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny short-story collections before the Saga books.
CDPR Games are a Fan-created sequel to the books, so the games spoil the books (especially the third game).
Netflix is making a (new*) show adaption of the novels with the author’s approval and getting advice from the game makers as well.
*we don’t talk about the old show.....
The First Law Trilogy
It will get worse. When ever you think things can’t get any worse. It always does. And you watch the characters struggle all the way through it and everybody around them dying along the way.
Don’t get too attached to anybody without a POV.
A Song Of Ice and Fire
The modern “Gold Standard” for Dark Fantasy when Game of Thrones brought it to the mainstream.
Just about everything black and grim can, has, and will happen.
Nothing is glorified, everything is awful. When something problematic to our modern society happens within the narrative, it is often treated with the weight that these issues are a problem and part of their corrupt society (things like incest, child murder, rape, abuse....)
Hannibal Lector Series (Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal)
humanizes the most horrible of mankind.
if you had at least watched any of the movies and/or the show, read the books as well.
Dogsland Trilogy (J. M. McDermott)
Nothing good will come out of this.  There is no hope for any of the characters. It starts out black and will end just as black. It is like a slice of life for the dirt poor and shunned. Forever on the run from hunters and discriminated against just because of being born. It ends where it began.
The Road
A story about a father and son at the end of humanity. There is nothing that can be done, a harsh struggle to delay the inevitable death of man kind.

the motherload: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 35, 39, 40, 50
AHAHAHAHA WELL THEN :D
1. What is your favourite book and/or book series of all time? UNANSWEABLE
3. What is the oldest book you have ever read? (Based on its written date) Iphigenia at Tauris completely wrecked the scale on my cute little chart on goodreads, but that’s a play so I don’t think it counts! Um, I’ve read a lot of medieval romances–let’s go with le Roman de Silence, which is from the early 13th century and is also excellent
4. What is a book series that everyone else loves but you do not? Ummm the Grisha trilogy was kind of terrible, which I feel very bad about saying because Six of Crows is one of my favorite books ever. But the Grishas really do not deserve the hype they get, sorry!
5. What book or book series would you like to see turned into a film/ TV series? answered! But I’m going to add the Night Circus, which in reality would probably end up being terrible but THE AESTHETIC, IF THEY DID IT RIGHT IT WOULD BE THE MOST GORGEOUS SHOW OF ALL TIME
6. What is your favourite stand-alone book? answered!
7. What is a book that you feel glad for not reading? answered!
8. What is a book that you feel guilty for not not reading? hmmm, there are a lot of books that I feel guilty for not reading yet but fully intend to get around to someday? I never got past Fellowship of the Ring when I was a kid, Sabriel has been on my to-read list for literally a decade, I’ve only read like two Dickens books even though I love him, Rick Riordan writes faster than I can keep up with, THE LIST GOES ON BUT I’M WORKING ON IT OKAY
12. What book do you passionately hate? answered!
14. What book gives you happy memories? Harry Potter is probably the ultimate nostalgia series, but also His Dark Materials, the Icemark Chronicles, Narnia, A Wrinkle in Time
16. What book made you laugh? Percy Jackson made me laugh myself to tears SO MANY TIMES, and also Les Mis is hilarious okay
20. Have you ever been glad to not finish a series? Which? ahahaha the things I’ve heard about the last Eragon book are RIDICULOUS
21. Have you ever read a book series because you were pressured? If by “pressured” you mean “lovingly bullied by friends who were totally right about them being amazing” then His Dark Materials, October Daye, Watership Down and A Wrinkle in Time by my MOTHER, Redwall, technically no one pressured me to read the Night Circus except for the book itself but that cover is my aesthetic in an EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE WAY and I really had no choice in the matter
22. What famous author have you not read any books by? Lots of the ~canonical~ male American writers, I want nothing to do with them thanks
26. What is your favourite non-fiction book? I can’t remember ANY nonfiction books I’ve read tbh. Surely there must be some??
27. What is your favourite children’s/middle-grade book? Many!! Percy Jackson is very wonderful, all Tamora Pierce’s stuff, Narnia is great, I super super super loved Guardians of Ga’Hoole as a kid, Peter and the Starcatchers, the Fairyland books, I could go on
35. What three books are you most looking forward to reading this year? Since I really don’t have a schedule for the to-read pile, let’s go with not-out-yet books! The Brightest Fell, Down Among the Sticks and Bones, and the Language of Thorns
39. What book offended you? please refer back to my feud with Daniel Defoe. Also Pamela and like…any moralistic 18th century book written by a man, basically.
40. What is the weirdest book you have read? It’s probably not the weirdest, but shoutout to the Airborn trilogy for seeming totally logical while you’re reading them until you take a step back and go “wait…was this whole book just a historical au where Canada won the space race? IN THE 1900S?? And there are GIANT FLYING MONSTER JELLYFISH just floating around in the sky? WHAT” (AND IT’S STILL ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE SERIES, HOW)
50. What book got you into reading?I don’t really remember ever NOT being into reading tbh? But I think my first ever Favorite Books were PIXIE TRICKS, a super adorable kid’s series with rainbow stickers in the back that I was madly in love with in first grade

12. what is something you want right now?
I dunno, I’m pretty much all set with what I’ve got. Maybe a job? I’d love a job.
15. personality description
I’ve definitely got one. It’s an amalgamation of personality traits stolen from my friends and characters on TV, and it tends to change on me when I meet new people so I can’t really nail it down.
18. do you miss how things were a year ago?
Mmmmmm................ absolutely not. A year ago I was a handful of days away from being dumped for the first time in my life and I was freaking out because I saw it coming a mile away.

Yes and once a year.
24. height
Fuck dude I don’t know, 5′5′’? Maybe? Short enough to wish I was taller.

Loud chewers. Mansplainers. People who yawn with their damn mouths open and don’t cover that shit like a human being.
30. favourite tv show(s)
Leverage. Star Trek (any). Person of Interest. How to Get Away with Murder. Little Witch Academia. Steven Universe.
33. something you want to learn
I’d love to learn more about math. I was never good at it and I wish I didn’t hate it so much because I love problems with definitive answers because I like it when people tell me I’m right.

Survive Russia. Go on a summer road trip. See Tennessee again.
39. favourite sport(s)

45. how you found out about your idol
I’m not really sure I have one tbh. I guess I really look up to Kate McKinnon? She’s funny and queer, and I’m definitely at least one of those. I saw her first in Ghostbusters.
48. turn offs
I’m ace, so... nah...? There’s no turn ons so I can’t have turn offs. 
51. starsign
Leo
54. something thats worrying me at the moment
I’m worried that I’m annoying my boyfriend by talking to him so much. I miss him a lot but he’s a busy young man with lots of important things to do and I don’t want to give him the impression that he needs to prioritize me over everything else in his life. I just want him to be happy, you feel? And I understand how busy he is. I’m really patient, and I’ll still be here for him when he has the time, so... yeah. I guess that’s my biggest worry.
Don’t get me wrong though, like, I have lots. That’s just the first one that came to mind. There’s six or seven more waiting in line.

Cats (all kinds), dogs, coyotes, foxes, elephants, seals/ sea lions... uh, whales, dolphins, some monkeys (not the weird ones with the dangly bits).
60. ask me anything you want
