Tagged by @irithnova, thanks!

What book are you currently reading?

I just started reading The Secret History of the Mongol Queens by Jack Weatherford and like it a lot so far. It's very well written.

What’s your favorite movie you saw in theatres this year?

"The Woman King," which also happens to be the only movie I saw in the theatre this year (or in 2021). It was really good, though.

What do you usually wear?

Jeans and band shirts. To work I wear jeans and blouses that are marginally nicer than band shirts. I have a single hoodie I got in Alaska in 2012 that I wear when it's too cold for a t-shirt but not cold enough to need a heavy coat. When I don't have to leave the apartment, of course, I wear pajama bottoms instead of jeans.

I have a really nice pair of boots I love, but I need to get them repaired so I just wear sneaks mostly.

How tall are you?

5'3" or just a tad above that.

What’s your Star Sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event?

I'm a Libra and share my birthday with Carrie Fisher! Also Kim Kardashian but pffft.

Do you go by your name or a nick-name?

I go by any iteration of Katherine that people want to call me, except for Kathy. I have an aunt Kathy whose name is short for Kathleen, so in my mind Kathy isn't ever short for Katherine, only Kathleen, and I was very vocal about this when I was a kid.

Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child?

*cries* No.

I wanted to be a zookeeper and ballerina AT THE SAME TIME so it was probably a lost cause anyway, but as I grew older I wanted to be a rich and famous writer and that also hasn't happened. At one point I wanted to be a chauffeur but I think that was because I saw a movie where a chauffeur was wearing a nifty little cap and I also wanted to wear a nifty little cap and drive celebrities around.

Are you in a relationship? If not, who is your crush if you have one?

No, I'm comfortably single. I do sometimes miss having a partner to do things with, like attend conventions and move furniture that's too heavy for one person. I don't have a crush right now because every crush I've had lately turns out to already be married with kids, and that's boring.

What’s something you’re good at vs. something you’re bad at?

I'm actually really good at crafts but I'm bad at organization and let me tell you, that is a terrible combination because it doesn't matter how many pairs of scissors I buy, I can never find a pair when I need them.

Dogs or cats?

Cats but I also like dogs.

What’s something you would like to create content for?

This question just reminded me that when I was in high school, I really really really wanted to work in the Muppet workshop and actually make Muppets. That didn't happen either but if I could create content for anything, it would be the Muppets.

If you draw/write, or create in any way, what’s your favourite picture/favourite line/favourite etc. from something you created this year?

I write and published a nonfiction book and a novella this year! I did some of the illustrations for the nonfiction book so here's one I did that I especially like. It's a glyptodon.

What’s something you’re currently obsessed with?

Mongolia, because of The Hu, but the more I learn about the country and its people, the more I want to learn. In fact, my ten-year goal, which has become more of a two-year goal now for reasons, is to move to Bloomington, Indiana to attend Indiana University and get a degree in central Asian studies with an emphasis in Mongolia. I have no idea what I'd do with another B.A. but I'm not using my current B.A. (English lit) or my M.Ed (Curriculum & Instruction K-8) so why the hell not?

What’s something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year?

One of the conventions I went to this year was just awful. It was a very small one that I didn't talk about much online. I only sold one book, almost no one talked to me, and the dance on Saturday night was run by an astoundingly incompetent DJ.

What’s a hidden talent of yours?

*thinks really hard* uhhh I don't know, losing scissors isn't exactly a talent.

Are you religious?

No.

What’s something you wish to have at this moment?

A million dollars but I would settle for an ice cream sundae tbh.

my secret is that i have spent every single day of the last ten years absolutely obsessed with Hawkeye from the Marvel media empire. at no point in time was this character not hugely important to me and never have I met an iteration of this character that I did not immediately and fully adore

30-second bit role in another character's solo movie? favorite part. underutilized protag in the flashy big team movie? literally my main takeaway from that entire movie. goofy competent doofus in the team comics and cartoons? this guy's working harder than EVERYONE else combined how could i not admire him. exhausted loser struggling to keep his life from falling apart? this is the most relatable a superhero has ever been. gutsy teen refusing to be put on the back burner and leave the 'saving' to the wishy-washy adults? this girls working harder than everyone else combined how could I not admire her!!!

i had a hawkeye sideblog where i just reblogged hawkeye stuff every single day for a few years there because i was obsessed and i didn't want to overwhelm my followers (also i still have it, it's still there I just never use it)

then it got more popular to hate how hawkeye was portrayed in the movies so i just... quietly didnt say anything. then the movies themselves kinda fell out of fashion and i kinda put everything on the back burner. then the tv show was announced like years ago and everyone was like 'ugh, really? why?' and inside my heart was doing somersaults, colorful flappy-hand starbursts of joy

i fully expect people to hate the character (esp. the male Hawkeye, just because he has more history) and this show, and actually the first two episodes were pretty decent if not amazing which makes me hopeful. I do not expect to convince anyone to love a character they have no interest in loving, especially because I recognize this is probably just a Special Interest character of mine. i basically will not be going into the show tag or looking for peoples reactions after episodes because I don't want to have to deal with negativity and yes, this is an open invitation to send me gifsets or cool fanart you find. relatedly, i will not be reblogging a ton of stuff because i desire to keep up a cool and unaffected facade. i'm playing it cool. i haven't been counting down the days to this premiere all year or anything

(quick FAQs: "do you not think MCU hawkeye is the worst iteration of hawkeye?" no I love him "isn't it crappy that they took so long to make him HOH though?" yes this should have been done ten years ago and its a sign of the ableism in the industry "wasn't the surprise family bit a really bad character change?" no, Laura Barton is higher up on my list of favorite MCU characters than most of the other avengers "but the family-man shtick totally ruins his 'struggling to hold it together' characterization!!" I think if you see a man dying in the gutter and say 'this is the ideal depiction of this man' then that sucks, also there are multiple ways for a person to be falling apart "hawkeye should have died instead of black widow, and using her for his manpain sucks" yes!! actually yeah! it's weird to be like 'my favorite character should have died in this iteration instead of this other character' but its true!! the MCU has some crappy dickface writers. still love this character tho.)

#also yes i do still own literal years-old food wrappers just because they have hawkeye on them #they're in a box in storage along with all of my hawkeye toys and trinkets #i fully expect to be adding to that soon - if there isn't already an MCU-branded kate bishop toy i will riot #i feel like i sound like im moralizing too much in this rant i literally just havent said a word to any person in years #about how freaking obsessed i am with this character #lotsa new friends and followers dont know and thats weird to think about #this is me trying to be restrained #this is just to say: i am obsessed #it shouldnt come up much dont worry #hawkeye series
