If Jake is based on archetype of Strong Female Character then I think he should get Evil Woman arc. Let him snap and go bananas. Sburb is his stage and he is gonna became a star, and break fourth wall and if needed all the walls. I just really want Jake to go batshit. And then better but first batshit. And fight with crockertier! Jane because I think it would help them both to have a proper scream match and some stabbing or two.

admission: i have let this ask stew in my drafts for months because i had exams, and also because i needed to fully process everything in this singular paragraph because it threw a wrench in my jello sack processor

so, in short:

thank you for this ask anon holy shit i love getting asks about this stuff i am full of words about it !! that being said

I AM QUESTIONING THE CLASSIFICATION OF HIM AS STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER. I AM SO VERY QUESTIONING IT

that statement triggered a fucking. sleeper agent in my brain because i disagree so hard so so hard, oh my god i'm. okay technically it's a half disagree. sliver of agreement in there but it's for a very specific scenario that I need TIME to explain (which i now have so Buckle Up)

if you want my aabsolute shortest shorty short response to this ask it's yes, i think jake deserves to go batshit insane, i would like nothing more than to see him be a petty deranged bitch. king shit honestly!! But Not In That Way Slash Manner. okay now WORDS

so, we have the idolization/I Know What You Are he has with lara croft. we have all his big talk about being an adventurer, we have fisticuffs and guns and sparring with a bot, but, as many posts before this have pointed out in much more depth than i can attempt to surmise, jake is not that. motherfucker is a coward, avoids conflict like the plague and plays up an oblivious front to dodge responsibility (god i still can't read the jane confession scene without screaming look at that fucking LIAR)!! a defining aspect of jake's character is his continuous lack of agency throughout the comic too, which is a rabbit hole i'm not going down for the sake of my sanity and your patience [:

point is, in the words of a shitton of other people: he's a hapless bimbo archetype, or at least attempts to embody it!!!!

he wants to be a strong female character, makes an idol out of an example of them (lara), but in the end the narrative itself bends backwards to call him pathetic. point and laugh at the moron in the piss coloured underpants. something something, yet another case of lost potential

there are specific circumstances under which jake does hit as a strong female character. that's getting old i'm gonna shorten that to sfc now. big thanks to tony crazyexdirkfriend for this perspective because the one angle where i can read jake as an sfc is from an extremely meta perspective, in reference to how he's built up to be someone with a lot of importance/skill/competence, while in reality his agency is pretty much moot. it's an empty label, all his "strength" is superficial and falls away once you look any deeper than the upper epidermis. that's neat as hell!!!! i don't think that's the take you were going for, but it is an angle i enjoy and appreciate <:

that being said, even with this and any accurate read of jake really, him having an evil woman arc will have to take place in a specific set of circumstances methinks,, like mfer is probably actively performing an insanity act for Some Reason, an angry tired jake is more likely to revert to sopping wet bawling retreat anger than anything else. letting him snap and go bananas will only work if you character arc his ass enough to change a fundamental part of him!!! and a crockertier scream match is more in jane's favour for. y'know all the years of being a vent box for him. which i don't think is accessible on a count of, y'know, Literal Mind Control

i am the no.2 supporter on the Let Jake Be Batshit train (only second because i know at least four people who'd tie for first) but i don't think he'd seek out attention from beyond the 4th wall. because he can't handle the pressure of being perceived. no walls have ever needed to be broken for jake english to be a star - he's always been performing!! for the people around him, for the narrative, to be the oblivious himbo that never meant to do any wrong. the core of jake english and what drives him to extremes has always been to be liked, and to be safe. maybe those two things are the same to him. it gets suffocating, y'know? and when something gets too much, jake does what he's always done: he runs.

so yeah, no, i don't think so. do let him be a catty bitch tho!! he deserves that [:

#choc talks #homestuck #hom3stuck #homestuck meta #jake english #dear god what have i done #most of this is nigh incoherent to me but eeehhhh fuck i need to get this out #hbluh

FEEDBACK LOOP #13: Devil on the Recto: Armand Hammer's "Codex Giga"

They are acts of insurrection. Their source is from the Silence at the center of each of us. Wherever and whenever such a whorl of patterned sound or space is established in the external world, the power that it contains generates new lines of force whose effects are felt for centuries.

—R. D. Laing, The Politics of Experience (1967)

Baby, you can step to this if you admire / The exxxtraordinary dapper rapper.

—Opio, Souls of Mischief, “93 ‘Til Infinity” (1993)

“Codex Giga” manifests out of the thick and sultry air of a live performance—out of the residual whoosh and warp of a “Stonefruit” fadeout, still spiraling on its square. The drupe is stomped and squashed, but the pit is stubborner than a mthrfckr. Once the sweet softness, the outer skin, is scathed away, all we’ve got left to dissect is the pit. And “Codex Giga” drags us deep into the pit, pal.

2. You wanna do another one?

ELUCID extricates himself from the live recording, from the stage setting, from a stranglehold of live wires. But the Sourcerer (circa Shortie, Minya Oh) carries the electric currents into the studio for an encore. And nope, we don’t even notice the transition through states of being. He harnesses live powers and prowess, watts out the wazoo. He tunes in to Channel Live and sparks mad izm. Armand Hammer, a too-live crew, if you will, and ELUCID is regularly as nasty as he wants to be. Don’t be shocked that “live” is life, as well—reproductivity. We don’t really need altars, but the mensa is splattered with that Almighty Jizzm. The Codex Giga, sonny, is an illasophic volume.

3. A SHUTTERED TABERNACLE

Reading like Reverend Run-For-Your-Life from the Codex Giga, ELUCID bombs atomically—Mephistopheles’ philosophies and hypotheses. You’re using me, August Fanon’s sample accuses, that’s what you’re doing. But ELUCID shows no intentions of a sweet surrender. He’s begging for us to hear his side of the story, lifted from the pages of the Codex Giga—vellum leaves made of calfskin, so there’s sacrifice in those pages. And the Codex Giga [literally, a “giant book”] stands the size of a stubby child—a medieval manuscript from the 13th century. Ganked by Holy Roman Emperors and taken as war booty. Saved from a burning building only to flatten the man who it happened to fall on when thrown from a window. But now ELUCID has it in his clutches, abstracted from the annals of history. He’s got it shelved in the cosmos of consciousness, on the margins of the Gutenberg Galaxy. Flip the [manu]script.

If you ask me, his are the proper hands for the damned book to be in. ELUCID writes raps in Carolingian miniscule, and this wouldn’t be the first song he composed in the course of a single night, scribe-like, with a devil in an ermine loincloth lending help. The Codex Giga contains a bible, medical treatises, a book of knowledge, a calendar, necrology, tutorials, formulae for spells and incantations, so…an ELUCID album. While working at Sweden’s Royal Library, playwright August Strindberg would tease patrons about the powers the book possessed, asking them: Can you hear the voices? They speak with a split tongue.

My philosophy: half “Come swallow me,” / Half recognizing the toxic ideology I was born into.

—“Fanon’s Ghost” (2017)

“You fuckin’ better,” ELUCID threatens, and threatens again (and again and again…), “you fuckin’ better.” From this angle, the better angels of one’s nature are outsmarted by better demons—wily and versatile. I hear that better penetrating my head and shortening to simply bet. That there’s the gambit—the Faustian bargain born out of dense air. Aight, bet. But…

Suck me till I’m dead. ELUCID makes it clear you better finish the job. Catch him in his shaman guise, soul-sucking demons through a hollowed bear femur. Breath control? He’s the very keeper of breath. Bless up. In female form, he’s Ammit—Ancient Egypt’s devourer of the dead. ELUCID, one supposes, has studied X Clan’s “In the Ways of the Scales”—tape deck exegesis on Sundays. Or maybe he’s a [willing?] victim of Ammit, or, even better [you fuckin’ better], a succubus. “Suck my dick and tell me I’m beautiful,” he demanded on woods’ “Magdalene,” daring to pull back the covers for us all to see. “How I wake up in her jaws been the usual,” he says, and it’s strangely more benevolent than boastful. Not like Toni Morrison’s Beloved who—in her succubus spiriting—siphons the semen out of Paul D, draining him of his drive—bone dry.

ELUCID introduces eroto-rap of the highest [dis-]order. “If there’s an ounce left,” he very seriously spits, “I’mma rise up, coming for your fucking head.” It’s all so highly, and hornily, sexually-charged. We’re zapped with more bounce to the ounce as he rises up with ultimate tumescence, coming for us like Diana Ross. He may as well sing soprano, belting I’m coming—I’m coming out! Sample it all, why don’t ya?—and circuit-bend until the stems make like suckling sounds.

He’s armed with defenses for all comers, sucker MCs and succubi alike—true to Too $hort on “Cusswords.” “Sucker MCs are screaming loud,” $hort rapped, apparently putting his enemies in shouts of ecstasy. “Getting sucked by a bitch named Helen,” he added affirmatively. In Beloved, Sethe kills her baby, in part, to spare her the brutal rapes she herself had to endure. Sethe specifies her desire to spare her daughter a mossy-toothed white man sucking on her breasts. “The first intimations of nonbeing may have been the breast or mother as absent,” R. D. Laing writes in “The Experience of Negation.” “Winnicott writes of ‘the hole,’ the creation of nothing by devouring the breast. Bion relates the origin of thought to the experience of no-breast.”

So much semiotics and somatic sucking going on here, and so little phallic semi-automatic shooting, swordplay, or stabbing. I was a dyke in a past life, ELUCID once claimed on “Pakistani Brain.”

5. NEVER LET ME SLIP, ’CAUSE IF I SLIP, THEN I’M SLIPPIN’

Slip away, slip inside, / Surrender all.

—“Lambskin” (2018)

“Caught me slippin’,” ELUCID says as he extends empathy and randomness, “anybody could get it.” Of course he’s slipping, porn theater ushers have been oozing pestilence since 1999’s “My Imagination.” The floor is lavatory with specimens slicking the surface. No b-boy should ever deign to bodyrock on this lubricious linoleum. Henceforth, ELUCID’ll stand tall and rest his weight on a cemetery shovel in the style of Tommy Wright III (Track 4, “Caught U Slippin’” in the Walkman). Of Sex and Violence, KRS says the problem is immense. “Anybody could get it” could be the bullet or the pubic box. Word to Malcum X.

Ain’t no half-steppin’, but “all of your steps are cursed, / Every plan you make reverses, collapses on itself.” Step on a crack, break your momma’s back, superstitiously. Blow your beloved’s back out—leave her with a bulging Discman latched to the hip. These “cursed steps”—tripping over one’s own feet, endlessly slippin’—are something like trying to scale M. C. Escher’s staircases. The steps “make reverses [and] collapses on itself.” Inspectah Deck might be smokin’, but ELUCID is breakin’ bones in the staircase. Doors misleadingly marked—404 Error Codes at each exit, each erogenous zone.

7. SCARED TO LOOK

“Look at you,” ELUCID says, and John Berger’s Ways of Seeing (1972) comes into our field of vision:

One might simplify this by saying: men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves. The surveyor of woman in herself is male: the surveyed female. Thus she turns herself into an object—and most particularly an object of vision: a sight.

These are the “sins of the father,” this ancestral curse of objectification. The Lord thy God purports to be a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children for generations (KJV, Exodus 20:5). The only option to break the curse, it seems: “smother unborn seed.” Once again: Suck me till I’m dead.

An “endless scream soundtracks sleep”—Edvard Munch in 1893 with the pause-tape scream: the shriek: the skrik. He felt the throb of an “infinite scream passing through nature,” and Nature’s rising, Keith sweatin’. On 1997’s “Feel My Nature Rize,” Brotha Lynch Hung’s opening salvo promised “bloodshot red eyes,” while ELUCID gushes “if you could never shut bloodshot eyes, cry for me.” The sibilance of “endless scream soundtracks sleep” releases a hypnotical hiss of ecstasy.

And I never grab the mic without grabbin’ my…

—“Root Farm”

There’s a tungsten[/tongue-sten] steel tension to these warring factions, these competing interests, and in that tension we find a unity. For all threats of having one’s being swallowed whole, ELUCID transubstantiates into a “hammer hangin’ over your head.” In the hole, in that obstinate hollowed-out drupe pit, he’s a pendulum swinging (phallically, as it were). In ELUCID’s hands, Pete Seeger’s “If I Had a Hammer” converts into Paul Robeson baritone—rusty nails in a joey pouch—looking to hit it. Protest song turns prurient. Hammer in the morning, in the evening, all over this land—we’re talkin’ a real tantric session. Hours-long duration. ELUCID been on this since “Rehearse with Ornette,” where he quoted the folk ditty: I’d hammer out danger, I’d hammer out a warning…

We’re instructed to “argue with the dead if [we] want,” but that sounds like a raw deal—just like “argue” sounds like ague if I cuff my ears. But a fever would be fitting, because arguing the malevolent presences in our midst would have you “choke on your tongue.” Furthermore (as if that weren’t torture enough), “your lungs rot, [and] sulfur stench fill[s] the room.” No, this is not ideal. Jonah leashed Leviathan’s tongue, but woods told us on “Sir Benni Miles” the whale “swims with open jaws.” ELUCID sold off his other thousand selves “before the flood” on “Shammgod,” which is when he “learn[ed] to ride the whale like Jonah in the OT.” Hormones rage against the machine, still, so you might just swallow your tongue as you seize—a classic case of epileptic concupiscence, a bad case of Harlem shakes and convulsions. Ecstatic shudders and involuntary movements followed by an electric relaxation, a post-coital bliss. Mike Ladd called from Paris and said the French call it la petite mort—giving oneself over to the succubus suck. Die, motherfucker, die motherfucker, die—but just a little.

Loss of breath leads to lung-rot. The “sulfur stench” tells us the sibilant hiss still reverberates, now with an added devilish scent. “Filled the [bed]room” to the brim with brimstone, and—it’s fair to say—the musk of bodily fluids, the beast-with-two-backs juices. “The pleasure’s all mutual,” ELUCID raps on “Lambskin.” Who’s objectifying whom? Who possesses whom? What I see is a yab-yum U-N-I-T-Y, that’s a unity. If ELUCID speaks of “infinite replays of your misdeed using me,” then I suppose that’s how he chills from ’93 ’til… After all, he seems to revel in the pain/pleasure duality: You fucking better. We might balk at his willingness, but we’d be wrongheaded. “It is assumed that if a person is mad (whatever that means),” writes Laing, “then ipso facto he is ill (whatever that means). The experience that a person may be absorbed in, while to others he appears simply ill-mad, may be for him veritable manna from heaven.” ELUCID is, as we say around here, mad ill.

10. A GREAT DEVOURER’S STILL FEEDIN’

A great devourer’s still feedin’. A great devourer’s still feedin’. A great devourer’s still feedin’. A great devourer’s still feedin’. A great devourer’s still feedin’. A great devourer’s still feedin’. A great devourer’s still feedin’. A great devourer’s still feedin’. A great devourer’s still feedin’. A great devourer’s still feedin’. A great devourer’s still feedin’. A great devourer’s still feedin’. A great devourer’s still feedin’. A great devourer’s still feedin’.

“Codex Giga,” inarguably (I won’t have it) brings us one of ELUCID’s mightiest mantras yet. Or, rather, monstras. [The Sanskrit “sacred message” of mantra + the Latin “divine omen” of monstrum.] Monstra, recall, was the whale in Disney’s Pinocchio (1940). Swallow or spit—destiny dances before us. Be real: we’re one with the krill. The jaws open wide like the maw of hell: THE HELLMOUTH! I see no easy way out. Refer back to the Codex Giga table of contents, and read deep into the night, kiddies.

Hey Jess, me and the shorty squad have a two part question. 1) when can we expect to see more mini skirts in other designs? and 2.a) are you still working on shortening the skater, 2.b) when would those be ready?

Haha, I gotchu shorty squad!

1) There will be 3 going up with next week's restock (2/8), and 2 with the one after that (2/15). Teasers will get posted Monday!

Beyond those 5 designs nothing else new is on the way yet, but there will be restocks of wizard and mage minis soon (date unknown right now). And I'll definitely be adding more! When I place the February Preorder order with my manu, I'll probably add on a few new mini designs too.

2) Yes but I won't be able to get samples until that February Preorder order at the earliest. If things go perfectly the first try, they could be ready as soon as May. If things need adjustments then, well, who knows 😅

Maijima sibling headcannons

I’m bored and with me still waiting on my new laptop to arrive I’ve been writting a lot, so have some headcannons

-Magakure has a strict no smoking rule in the household. Before meeting Kaigo she didn’t allow Dangan to smoke inside, and after Kaigo’s death she only cracked down more with the rule (I’ve decided Kaigo died of natural causes but his reckless behavior in his youth along with his drinking and smoking shortened his life span). Higari and his siblings have all smoked at some point in their life: Higari smoked once and only once in his third year at UA, mostly from peer pressure. He dropped it instantly. Hono smokes out of boredom, it’s a bad habit which he’s genuinely trying to stop but he struggles since he doesn’t really have a reason too. When he meets Mandalay and has a kid (I’ve decided they have a kid) he drops it. Chikara smokes from stress with work since she runs the family car repair business, Cementoss helps her with this by making her herbal tea, when she became a mum she to also stopped. Taiho rarely smokes, but when he does its often when he’s frustrated or angry. Suru smokes when she’s sad as she often feels out shined by her older siblings, Haru (pray mantis lady I mentioned ages ago) is the only one who knows about this

-They wrestle, shocker. As kids they often rolled about in the dirt like baby pigs and then they’d drag mug and filth inside - que the chance scene where Magakure and Kaigo try to get their kids to take a bath.

-All the Maijima children have a high tolerance to spice. Nothing phases them. They eat spicy food like it’s pudding. I imagine one day years in the future when Hono and Higari are getting along agin Hono, Higari and Chikara all go out for a date night with their lovers to a curry house. Ecto, Cementoss and Mandalay could only stomach the medium hot curry and stared in disbelief (maybe slight horror too) as their parents practically chugged down their curry, all of which was the spiciest curries you could order.

-Higari and Suru have been dubbed as leaning posts by their siblings. Suru is only an inch taller

Suru (5 foot 2 inches): I hate being short Higari (5 foot 1 inch): I know right? Suru: You feel me shorty? Higari:...

-Hono snores like a fright train and sleeps as deep as a bear in winter, waking him is a chore. All the Maijima siblings are heavy sleepers, but Hono sleeps the heaviest. Most alarm clocks he’s had he’s ended up exploding on accident with his quirk since they startle him

-Higari and Chikara are morning people, with Higari being a teacher and Chikara running the family business they’re early risers by nature on week days. Hono and Taiho are evening people, they like the silence - Taiho also likes to star gaze from time to time. Suru is an even mix of both, her sleep schedule isn’t the best

-Higari, despite being tiny, pulls his siblings into plently of head noggies and hair ruffles. In return Higari’s siblings often hold him under one arm like a sack of potatoes or ruffle his hair back, it’s their way of being affectionate. When Ecto became an offical part of the family he receives plenty of hair ruffles and head noogies. Ecto was a bit confused at first, growing up as an only child he wasn’t used to it, Higari patted his back and explained it just means his siblings like him

-Hono has the highest alcohol tolerance, second to him is Taiho - to everyone's shock - next is Chikara, then Higari with Suru in last. Outside of their sibling group their cousin Shizen is the worst drinker and is a light weight, she either gets really moody or super friendly when drunk

-Higari, being the smallest of his siblings, means he can basically borrow any one of his siblings clothes and it’d fit. Magakure has a lot of old hand me downs, anything that was Higari’s as a kid went to Hono, then it went to the twins, then Suru. Higari and his siblings have all grown up sharing so arent that fussed if Higari suddenly waddles past bundled in one of their coats for warmth

Rules: Tag 20 people you’d like to know better and wrangle them into answering the questions below.

I was tagged by @dalissy 😊 thanks 🙏 💜

Nickname: I get called Kay by my close friends to shorten my real name- even though it’s already a short name 🙄 my work mates used to call me Rapunzel before I just cut my hair like a week ago though 😂

Gender: Female

Star Sign: I’m a Taurus ♉️

Height: I live in America and we stupidly don’t use the same measurements but I’m 5 foot 2 inches, sorry I don’t know the conversion 😂 but I’m a shorty 😭

Hogwarts House: Sylterhin 🐍

Favorite Animal: It’s actually a shark oddly enough 🦈

Number of Blankets: So even more odd, I have my quilt all the time and then a fleece I put over the quilt. Then there is a third fleece I put on my face and cover my ears with 😂 so short answer is 3. Now the real question should be how many pillows do I have 😂

Where I’m from: I live in the USA 🇺🇸

Why I started this account: So I actually had a main for a long time- the iron tator, but that was solely so I could reblog anything and everything that I could nerd out over. I made this account, purplellamanator specifically for fanfics. It was never really going to be an account that I posted my writing on but after I got heavily inspired by other works I decided to start posting my things as well 😊 and I’m glad I did cause I’ve made some friends I would’ve never had otherwise! 💜

When I started: I’m just gonna say when I started purplellamanator cause I honestly can’t remember when I did my main. This one I’ve had for maybe a year now 🤔

Tagging: I’m not gonna tag 20 people but I’ll do a few 😂 I’m not popular enough to give 20 😂 some of these are strangers so don’t feel obligated to respond to my tag 😊😘💜

@mirrorfalls @meitanteisachi @dasletterbox @omatoestay @jaroslavlewis @detectivegeekshin

These Jeans Fit Every Body Type, and Reviewers Cannot Stop Raving About Them

Fact: a good pair of jeans is a must. The closet staple needs to go with every top because once you find that perfect pair, you know you'll wear the same pair quite often. Even more importantly, your jeans need to hug your curves (or lack thereof) in all the right places and accentuate without causing any issues with discomfort or an unflattering fit.

But have you ever run into the problem of a brand not carrying your size? If so, you're not alone: A recent statistic from Plunkett Research shows that 67% of women in the U.S. wear a size 14 and above, yet many major retailers stop displaying in-store sizes at size 12, which leaves the majority of female consumers without options.

Back in 2003, NYDJ noticed the limited access to inclusive sizing, and responded by releasing a line of jeans in 66 unique sizes from 00-28, in regular, petite to plus, short to tall, and maternity. Shoppers particularly love the Marilyn Straight jean, which is a standard straight-leg silhouette that flatters every body type. They recently featured this jean in their More Than Just A Number Campaign that showcased the brand's own employees rocking the jeans.

With a four.three star score with almost 2 hundred reviews, Amazon reviewers are captivated with the plus-sized model of these jeans, which are available 14W-28W. "These are the simplest denims I can wear as I'm caught between a length 14 and 16," one reviewer shares.

The petite version is a hit too, at a four.1 star score with nearly 800 reviews. "In spite of the fairly high prices, I hold going again to NYDJ denims, mostly the Marilyn line," says a person who calls the Marilyn Straight her go-to denims. "This specific pair in my usual 4 petite length is very comfortable with simply the proper amount of stretch." Another person who describes herself as 4'11" adds, "No want to carry to the tailor to get hemmed or shortened some more."

For others, it's all about the aesthetics. "For this shortie with athletic calves, this straight-leg reduce is best," says one Nordstrom customer. "I just like the generous again rise, and the lack of contrast stitching on this dark fabric looks dressy. I experiment all of the time with other manufacturers and cuts, however keep to come lower back to the Marilyn."

Get to Know Me (One of Those Question Things)

tagged by @storycharacter (hey i just tagged you, call me crazy but here's my tumblr so message me maybe? #sorrynotsorrycouldnothelpmyself

Rules: Answer 30 questions (I changed some of these up just for kicks- the rules are more like guidelines anyway, right?). Tag 10 blogs you want to get to know better (or 50. whatever. do you.)

1. Nickname(s): Az is my nickname, shortened from Azliana, which is my second name. My family sometimes calls me Azlin if they're ever in the mood for it. My friends in college called me 'shortie' because I was the shortest person in our year. My best friend calls me MonMon because of Mona, my first name. I like it when people call me Az though.

2. Gender: Female

3. Height: 5′2"

4. Time: 4.46pm

5. Fave band(s): oof, I love a whole wide range of music honestly. The best and worst thing you can do is introduce me to a new band/singer because I will want to devour their whole discography, which is how I ended up buying a 1TB hard drive solely for my music lmao

6. Put my library on shuffle: what are the first 4 songs that came up?

Jason Reeves - Terrified

Cardi B - Bodak Yellow

Green Day - Are We the Waiting

Carole King - Where You Lead

7. Grab the book nearest you and turn to pg 23, what’s on line 17? "... speed up the processes of nature."

8. Song stuck in my head: Hayley Kiyoko - Palace

9. Last movie I saw: Titanic 👀

10. Last show I watched: I'm rewatching Buffy but before that I was catching up on the new episode of Killjoys

11. What do I post: A whole lot of nonsense about my writing lately, sometimes things about my wife and how I'm kinda stupid in love with her, sometimes about food and things that vex me

12. Last thing I googled: "Michelin food inspector" because I saw that post AND @fiddleabout's supercorp fic and so I'm like MAYBE THAT'S A JOB I COULD DO because like... I freaking love food. I think the only thing that probably might not be so great - at least in terms of me wanting to build a family - is all the traveling time. The idea of traveling all over the world sounds great but it wouldn't be great considering kids and I was a kid with absentee parents because they were working. I understand why now but it wasn't great for me back then.

13. Do I have any other blogs: I have my fandom blogs and also my writing side-blog @maybewritingthings

14. Do I get asks: From time to time I do get asks from readers curious about when I'm going to update next, though I have been falling in love with the ones with music recs for my fics

15. Instruments: i play the guitar. I dabble on the ukulele and the piano

16. What I am wearing: umm, black yoga pants and that is it, sorry I'm a 'shirtless when I'm in the privacy of my room kinda person' lmao

17. Fave food: oh I don't like these questions haha. I NEVER know what to write. But for today - today - my favorite food is my mum's spaghetti bolognese

18. what are 1) a sound you hate, and 2) a sound you love?

A sound I hate: I don't really hate a lot of sounds generally? But there are times when I get kind of an overload and then I hate every sound

A sound I love: the waves crashing over the shore

19. do you drive? yep if so, have you ever crashed? I've answered this before. I used to drive but not anymore because of eye vulnerability. And yes I have crashed my car, not terribly and I have also been crashed into as well.

20. Worst injury I’ve ever had: Cracked ribs are probably the worst of it and that was after a fight.

21. Tattoos: have, want, and why: I have one on my right thigh of a quote that is in @idontneedtobeforgiven's handwriting. And I want so many more. Why what? Why do I want them? Because the one I already have means a lot to me, and I want more things on me to tell the stories of my life.

22. One regret: There are many things I wish I had said yes to, and things I wish I had said no to. My biggest regret is definitely saying yes to something that changed my life completely. But it is something that shaped me as I am now so I don't regret it so much?? It's a complicated subject

23. Middle Name: i do not have one

24. Favorite ice cream: Ummm, I like a lot of ice cream but I think maybe Rocky Road?

25. One insecurity: I worry that I'm not enough for people I love

26. Pick any animal for a pet: I'd say horse but I don't ever want to keep a horse to myself. Can I pick any animal for a friend? Because that would work for me because then I can say, horse lol

27. Ever laughed until something you were drinking came out your nose: oh yeah, when my friend and I got drunk on tequila and she started reciting "four score and seven years ago..." and then when I interrupted her telling her I was going to switch off the video recording her, and then told her to say bye to the camera, she was very indignant about the camera not being able to say bye back lmao

28. Have you ever cheated on a test? Hmmm, I don't think so? It's been too long since I've been in school to remember haha

29. Phobia: do not ever have a doll near me, specifically porcelain dolls

30. Last time I cried and why: I was watching an episode of Kim's Convenience and it was the scene when Appa asked Umma if she made a mistake marrying him and she said "yes, I should have married you sooner" and I ugly cried and thought of how much I love my wife
