It's a trip reading through the bios of Henry Stickmin. They're just so.. Creature. I'm gonna give a few of my favorites.

"Dan D. Lyons. He's found the perfect combination of laundry detergents. The scent is the most amazing thing."

"Anthony Lee. When he was three, he ate a bumble bee."

"Jim Pulp. He's the type of person that always passes out on a trip."

"Stanley Grass. He has two blades of grass growing out the top of his head and he's very sensitive about it."

"Carlos Candela. He's bad at pool. Like.. Really bad at pool. I mean, look at that technique. Just sad."

"Bartolomeo. An opera singer who was refused payment after a show. The Toppat Clan offered him the revenge he was seeking."

These characters are such creatures and I love them. I am holding all of these funky dudes in my hand.

i was going to say top 5 make some noise prompts and then i thought about how constantly i reference them and went "oh that's way too hard" so...... hm. top 5 battle for beyond moments and top 5 dnd chaos moments to start. OH and top 5 underrated d20 seasons or other actual-play stuff if you'd like

ty for not asking the impossible of me re: make some noise prompts lol

god i hate that i keep having to say this, but i don't remember dnd chaos well enough to give a top 5 answer that means anything, i'm sorry!

that said. top 5 b4b? let's fuckin go.

(yes some of these aren't a single moment but i'm obsessed with b4b's "how it started out with a bit how did it end up like this" energy)

1- Trick? No, I don't charge. This one needs no explanation. Nikhil's a slut and so am I.

2- Nikhil's lance. It's the only thing he cares about. His sister made it for him. He says something like a prayer to it.

3- Let Ekon sleep. I felt that shit in my goddamn soul.

4- I'm pretty sure potatoes are a kind of meat. I'm morosexual, actually.

5- Literally the whole scene in their quarters after the bee tree fight. Sestia and Murdina definitely fucked. Nikhil asking Sestia to slap him so he can hellish rebuke the tea. Everyone lying their asses off about wanting to share the room.

underrated actualplay stuff. (wait hang on carlos was involved with almost all of these. interesting)

1- coffin run. please. i am begging everyone. watch it. izzy and zac have what i am 100% confident is the funniest dynamic of the entirety of d20. every single time the camera cuts to them, something unhinged and fucking hilarious is about to happen. carlos is the most wet kitten of a man, and erika... i can't do may justice. you gotta watch it.

2- battle for beyond. that top 5 was extremely difficult- i almost just said 5 of the 6 pcs because it's all just. so. good. the nikhil/sestia/murdina throuple is everything to me. the characters' growth and god the worldbuilding. i cannot overstate how much i love it.

3- dnd chaos. i really need to rewatch them. again, tables of pcs that absolutely fuck. i need citizen doctor abraham mehermblur carnally. both times, it's a fucking all-star cast. 10/10 highly recommend.

4- barbie d&d from PixelCircus. i've seen basically no one talking about it, and holy shit it was so fucking funny and i love when a shiny, happy aesthetic ends up going into truly terrifying existential horror. "this barbie commits war crimes!" carlos pops the fuck off.

5- candela obscura. i've not seen the first arc and i'm not done with the second (i've got an hour left of ep 2 and ep 3 is six. hours. long.) but god fucking damn. just. watch it. i cannot do it justice.

citazioni sconosciute

"Una sera, mentre stavo entrando con una candela, trasalii sentendogli dire con voce tremula: "Sono qui sdraiato nel buio ad aspettare la morte". La luce era una spanna dai suoi occhi . Io mi sforzai di mormorare: "Oh, sciocchezze!", e rimasi lì impalato vicino a lui. Non avevo mai visto prima una cosa simile al cambiamento che si produsse nei suoi lineamenti, e spero di non rivederla mai più. Oh, non m'impressionava. Ne ero affascinato. Era come se un velo si fosse strappato. Vidi su quel volto d'avorio l'espressione dell'orgoglio cupo, del potere spietato, del terrore vile - della disperazione immensa e senza speranza. E' possibile che in quel momento supremo di conoscenza assoluta stesse rivivendo la sua vita in ogni dettaglio di desiderio, tentazione e resa? Sussurrò rivolto a una qualche immagine, a una qualche visione - gridò per due volte qualcosa che non era più che un rantolo: "L'orrore! L'orrore".

239: Zulu // Zulu

Zulu Zulu 1974, IEMPSA (Bandcamp)

Not, perhaps surprisingly, a record by a Black South African artist, or indeed an artist with any recent African heritage at all, Zulu’s Zulu is instead a 1974 Peruvian psych-rock/folk/pop LP by one Miguel Ángel Ruiz Orbegoso, who picked up the nickname because his large lips made him the target of racist schoolyard roasts. It was, people are saying, a different time. Still, the 2021 reissue from Vampi Soul is one of my favourite random pickups of the past year, a gem that sits somewhere between Brazilian bossa nova, UK psych rock, and cheesy US pop that brings them all together with a satisfying smush.

Zulu was Ruiz Orbegoso’s debut as a solo artist, but he was a seasoned musician thanks to spells in a few Peruvian rock bands, including the fairly well-known prog/psych band Traffic Sound. Zulu’s sound hangs onto a few of Traffic Sound’s tropes, including some stinging electric guitars and gnarly organs, but the songwriting is more direct, letting the riffs and hooks breathe. I bought the record on the strength of opening cut “Candela,” a calypso-like gem that manages to have both swagger and a real giddiness to it. Inspired by the cries of street vendors hocking their wares on the streets of Lima, it feels like a musical number that could open a film—the song lets you really savour its simple piano riff as it ambles along, Zulu wailing the title now and then as though to bid you step out of your home and watch the show. When it finally breaks down into a dance groove, Zulu invites a bunch of hand drummers and some of his (real life) neighbourhood friends to form a gibberish chorus before he launches himself into a singularly breathless wail. According to the liners, “Candela” was a radio hit in Peru, which is oddly gratifying to me—it’s a perfect pop single and deserved to be feted as such.

The record is stuffed with other good tracks: “Sueño de amor” (“Dream of Love”) is a supremely groovy Latin jam in kind of a merengue vein; “Cari​ñ​o grande” has a stomping acoustic guitar riff and a delicious Moog synth tone that imitates a traditional Andean quena flute; “Si en el cielo yo viviera” is progger’s delight, with a starry atmosphere and untrammeled wee-oo-wee-ooing Moog throughout; “Laberintos” strikes a pensive folk pose, with some stunning acoustic soloing from guest guitarist Carlos Curacao. The record fades a bit towards the end, but it’s never worse than pleasant, and it’s easy to lose yourself in.

Zulu was an immediate success, but Ruiz Orbegoso had a change of heart towards the music industry due to a sudden and particularly nasty attack of Christianity. A few months after his debut he asked the record company to release him from his contract and cease production of the LP, effectively deleting it. He’d never record again, becoming a successful motivational speaker in the ‘80s and ‘90s (you can picture me shaking my head and kicking at the dirt here). With the recent reissue, he’s been more nostalgic about his salad days though, launching a Blogspot page where he reflects at length on the record and (at even more length) about many other topics. As a fan of lesser-known music from this region and period, it’s an unexpected gift to have the insight Ruiz Orbegoso offers on a near-fifty-year-old one-off LP, and worth having a poke around if you’re as taken with Zulu as I am. (Though once again, if you plan on reading the whole thing, pack sandwiches.)

Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios: una representación divertida y colorida de un corazón roto

Mujeres al borde un ataque de nervios es una tragicomedia dirigida y escrita por Pedro Almodóvar en 1988. La película gira en torno a Iván, un hombre mujeriego que recientemente ha terminado su relación con Pepa, y como esta última poco a poco va perdiendo la locura mientras intenta contactarlo para informarle sobre un inesperado embarazo. Iván es un hombre que en el pasado había tenido un hijo con Lucía, una mujer que enloqueció después de separarse de Iván. En la historia también se nos presenta a Candela, la amiga de Pepa quien se metió con un terrorista chiita. De igual manera conocemos a Carlos, el hijo de Iván y Marisa su prometida. La película se va desarrollando de tal forma que la historia de estos personajes se entrelaza para crear un divertida y ridícula comedia.

Dentro de este filme la vida de las mujeres gira en torno al amor y si bien esta puede ser una representación superficial y fría del genero femenino, lo cierto es que, de cierta manera, resulta bastante reconfortante y realista. Si vemos la criticas en letterboxd, la mayoría de las mujeres que ven esta película se sienten identificadas de alguna manera con las protagonistas de estas historias. Tal vez esto se debe a los que asegura Almodóvar “Hay un momento en todo abandono, pero yo creo que en la mujer hay un momento en la mujer en el que pierde la razón, en el que se vuelve literalmente loca.  La mujer es más espectacular cuando es abandonada porque tiene menos prejuicios, es más sincera y es más atrevida y divertida también.”

Por otro lado también disfrute de la estética de la película, pues los colores contribuyen a la construcción de la historia tanto como los protegonistas. El constante uso del color rojo en Pepa, para mí no solo refleja su amor por Iván sino que también su paso a la locura por él. Algún día me gustaría realizar una película tan divertida, ridicula y colorida como esta.

Ethnicity: Spanish-Olympian

Species: dormant deity

FC: Carlos Cuevas

Modern Biography

León was a lighthearted and bubbly boy, often getting injured doing sports. But while his mamá tried hard to keep him oblivious to issues, his father would vent at him about their finances. It made León too nervous to ask for anything from him, always turning to his mamá.

León was nine when witnessed his father with a woman who wasn’t his mamá. His father made him keep it secret until he accidentally let it slip. León still blames himself for the painful divorce.

Julieta wanted to stay with their father, disbelieving León’s accusation. León moved with his mamá to Barcelona to be closer to his mamá’s side of the family.

They were there for six months when she introduced León to Álvaro. And he thought his mamá’s boyfriend was very nice. He would buy them gifts, even getting León a Barcelona season ticket for Three Kings Day.

But shortly after his mamá married Álvaro, she was diagnosed with a terminal illness. That was when he became abusive.

Throughout secondary school, León had to work every spare hour he could to help ‘supplement’ their income. To escape, León spent most of his free time working out or partying with friends.

Things worsened when Álvaro learned that León had applied to a fine arts school in Rome. He called León a terrible son for abandoning his mother. It didn’t matter in the end. He was rejected by the school, anyway.

Instead, he applied to a local college.

León’s mamá deteriorated further when he was in his second year. He took the doctor’s suggestion to send her to a dedicated care home. In turn, Álvaro kicked León out of the apartment forcing him to drop out of university. 

León now lives in a shared apartment with his friend, Regan and works as a bartender and dogsbody.

regarding women on the verge, sister was saying "I understand why it baffled critics" (which is legit what's written on wiki) (lol) because of how it was basically a farce and you don't see much like that nowadays (which I agree with) (also it makes sense considering it's based on a classic spanish movie kinda deal) and I think she's right BUT ALSO I think what makes it narratively weak is that there IS supposed to be a coherent thread, I think, where the rest of whatever the hell is going on can be as ridiculous as it wants, but as long as there's that coherent narrative thread it has a payoff. right? but the writing absolutely kind of whiffs it lmao. candela's subplot, lucia's subplot, carlos and marisa's subplot, paulina and ivan's subplot, NONE of it matters (some of it matters I'll contradict myself later) except for spectacle and entertainment and setting plot in motion for pepa's character arc, which is to break free from a toxic cycle and make a choice divorced from the whims of someone who won't care for her the way she needs and to prioritize what would be fulfilling to her, which would be her life with her future child. like, it's obvious that's the intention and that would make the show cohere. the eye of the storm, so to speak. however, 1) the scene where pepa meets carlos would have been a GREAT opportunity to highlight the motherhood aspect, and there's a great conversation where she tries to console carlos about his shit dad, but the energy is. extremely off. the show is entirely committed to Being Sexy, which permeates, especially since right before pepa enters, carlos is being Very Interested in candela. so the energy is Very Weird. 2) nothing's really set up during the rest of the musical that allows for this highlight or focus; the taxi driver acts as a narrator and his whole thing is woah! crazy place! it'll be a new day! which barely sets up pepa's whole thing; in fact, I feel like pepa's concierge contributes more to the themes in the two scenes she's significant in compared to the taxi driver who's Always There because the concierge talks about how what you want isn't always what you get but that can be a good thing, and when they're singing the song on the bench, that is setting pepa up for being able to say goodbye to ivan, then reinforcing her decision. it's about pepa focusing on the future that most aligns with her wants, needs, and reality. It's like... okay I feel like half the show thinks it's about 'woah! crazy shit's going on! gotta bounce back and be resilient and continue on!' but what actually makes it cohere is 'woah! crazy shit's going on! when you break free from the chaos and allow yourself to follow that path that will bring you fulfillment over illusory happiness, when you deal with your reality, you'll be able to continue forward in the best way for you (even when the crazy shit's still current and ongoing).' so what I mean by the other subplots don't matter, I mean 1) none of the other characters need to have that breakthrough, they can all keep going nuts, BUT 2) there has to be a continuing thread that highlights and reinforces pepa's overall character arc towards Reality and Fulfillment. anyway, I actually really like the lyrics, but there are a lot of moments some immediate repetitions really weaken it especially since one in particular gets brought back multiple times: "I don't want to know what is real what's solid as steel/realities haunt me" that is not strong enough to carry the real/reality repetition (but it does act as a foil to highlight the actual trajectory for pepa) oh did you know there's a 4k character limit per text block I didn't know that

there was another one that had move/moving pretty close but I forget what. there's also some lines that just feel too unintuitive, like how "wild winter breeze" just is not a phrase people naturally expect and it's not set up with other seasonal indicators so it's really hard to parse unless you're reading the lyrics. HOWEVER, I think the *meaning* of the music is really solid, and there are some really good lyrics and really solid songs; model behavior's really impressive of course, and I do like the descriptors used in lovesick. anyway, one of the reasons I really like invisible is because I actually love bossa nova but I like emotionally fraught lyrics and a lot of bossa nova I've heard tends to be more mild so I do really enjoy hearing lucia outline a 19 year long mental breakdown about her husband abandoning her. also yes she did many things wrong but honestly? she deserves to do whatever she wants. I don't think they even technically divorced

#talking abt musicals #long post

[hanalwayssolo]

I've scoured your page for your ocs so I have two. Please, all the questions for Briony and Javier?

I’m sorry if this took so long anon but all questions???? I am absolutely happy to serve! 🫡

Placing this under the cut because I got carried away with the idea of Briony and Javier meeting through a virtual chat and getting to have a conversation.

OC interview questions

1 Who makes up your family? How close are you to them?

Briony: So there's Cor, and he’s my dad. Not by blood, though.

B: Then my mom. Her name's Candela. Again, not by blood.

B: Never met my real parents. According to my mom they gave me up because my real dad didn’t want a girl as a first born. So...

Javier: so i think--and pardon me for saying this--but your real parents should rot in hell.

B: LMAO thank you for standing in solidarity with me. 🥺

B: Anyway! There's also my ten-year-old daughter, Ellie.

B: I could I say I'm close to all of them, and I love them all very much. 💖

B: So yeah. That's pretty much it for me. How about you, sir?

J: well no need to address me as sir, ‘javi’ is just fine, your majesty.

B: Please, I’d also appreciate if you’d just call me Briony. 🥲

J: alright then :)

J: ok so i have a younger brother. his name is carlos. not sure if we’re close. he can be annoying and i know i can be annoying to him. or worse.

J: then darcy, my ex-wife. my bonita and scout, darcy’s kids from a previous relationship whom i both treat as if they were my own flesh and blood. greta, emma, leticia. i know it sounds strange and i won’t go deep into our affairs but all i can say is that even after all my shortcomings, they were still very generous enough to give me another chance. so i’m grateful for our blended family. 

J: as for my parents, well. mi padre--i mean my dad, our relationship was not exactly a good one. it’s more of like a professional relationship. he was only el jefe to us. nothing more.

J: my mamá, however, was the best of us. but my dad didn’t really treat her well so she ended up leaving.

B: Oh gods, I’m so sorry.

J: don’t be. my dad should be the one apologizing. 

B: This is probably the reason why they put us together here. We both have issues with our real parents.

J: jajajaja looks like it.

2. Who is your best friend? Tell us about them!

B: My best friend is my husband, and his name is Gladio. He looks absolutely mean and threatening because he’s 6′6″ but he’s just about the kindest and sweetest fella I’ve ever met. 

B: How about you, Javi?

J: not to put a damper on things but i don’t have one. a best friend, that is. 

B: You can’t be serious? But you seem so amiable. 

J: you are far too kind to me, briony. :)

B: Surely you had one before?

J: well... 

J: my ex-wife. i guess she was my best friend. we’re still friends now but our relationship is not like the one we had before. 

B: Oh. I see. 

B: Okay then, I won’t probe further. And I apologize for even broaching the subject. 

J: it’s alright, don’t worry about it. 

3. What is your favorite childhood memory?

J: so my mamá is a costume designer and she often took my brother and i to the local theatre to watch musicals and shakespearean plays. we would hang out backstage and we’d help out with everyone’s costumes. i love those days.

B: Your mother sounds like a lovely woman. 💖 

B: Which reminds me, when I was a kid, Mom would also take me to theatres and we’d watch all these plays, and we were always so fascinated with the music. Especially the costumes! The masks, the props, the entire production. And whenever we get home, she’d sit at the edge of my bed and we’d talk about it all night.

B: Thinking about it all makes me miss my childhood so much.

4. What is your least favorite childhood memory?

B: Now this is the question that makes me not miss my childhood at all LMAO

J: my sentiments exactly.

J: ladies first? jajaja

B: Fine. 

B: When I was ten, my hometown was invaded by the Empire. I watched as one of their generals killed our queen in front of her children, my childhood friends. I was separated from my Mom for a long time because of it. That’s when Cor found me and took me in.

B: I think that changed me.

B: Sorry, no—it really did change me. Made me really angry at the Empire. For a time, all I wanted was to hunt down every single Imperial soldier who killed my friends, who destroyed my home.

B: But at this point… I’m not so sure anymore. And I’m just tired of being angry, of being so lost.

J: it’s strange. your experience somehow reminds me of my own.

B: Really? How so?

J: my father runs a cartel for a living. one day a rival cartel broke into our house and beat the living daylights out of us. my mother included. i was 8, my brother was 5.

J: my father changed after that. i wasn’t surprised that he would want revenge; he has always been prideful, self-assured. but that incident… something about it made him ruthless. the way he treated my mother changed. he also changed how he treated my brother and i, most of all. he wanted us to be stronger, demanded us to do better. he even punished us for being weak.

J: about what you said about being angry for a time, he was angry for the rest of his life. he certainly made good of his promise that he would make the rival cartel pay, and pay they did with their life. i remember him bringing my brother and i to their hideout and showed us the bodies. everything was drenched in blood. when my brother started crying, my father forced him to look and said, “this is what i am willing to do for our family. i want you to stare at it. i don’t ever want you to cower in fear over this kind of violence, do you understand?”

J: so i guess long story short: my brother and i, we somehow inherited that anger. and we’re still paying the price.

J: and i know i’m the last person you’d want to hear this from, briony, considering i’m but a stranger to you… but i hope you don’t let your anger consume you. as someone who has ruined a lot of good things in my life: anger is poison. nothing good ever comes out of it.

5. What is your favorite thing to do in your free time?

J: ay dios mío, finally an easier question to answer.

B: LMAOOO IKR

B: I’ll let you go first!

J: my most favourite thing to do in my free time is to cook, make wine, and to also spend time with scout and bonita.

J: how about you?

B: I love reading books and watching movies with my daughter. She’s also been very keen recently in making costumes ever since we started going to our community theatre so I reckon she and your mom would definitely get along.

J: oh for sure. :) scout enjoys hanging out in old bookstores and i can see you and him getting along, too.

B: I would certainly love to meet him! 💖 I have a good friend who tends to a humble little book shop in my city. He’d probably have a swell time there.

6. What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever had to do?

B: Why are these questions like a rollercoaster ride????? LMAO

B: The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do is to answer all of these. And we’re not even halfway there yet!

J: likewise jajaja

J: but kidding aside though, what is the hardest thing you’ve ever had to do?

B: Hmmmmm. I’d say having to raise Ellie on my own in my early twenties. I didn’t know better at the time, and even though I’m thankful that I managed to get the support I need from Cor and my friends, it was still tough having a kid during a very tough time.

J: once again, you remind me of someone i know.

B: Really? Please do elaborate, if you don’t mind.

J: not at all. darcy had scout and bonita when she was in her twenties, too. i saw firsthand how difficult it had been for her—physically, emotionally, mentally. it took a toll on her once. bonita was at the peak of her tantrums and darcy screamed at her, too, telling her, “you think your life’s hard? you’re just a bloody baby! you don’t have the right to cry!”

B: Okay, I know how stressful that situation is because I have to admit, I had a similar experience with Ellie when she was a baby. I was so stressed at work and so I cried with her when she started throwing a tantrum.

B: Being a mother is hard work. My heart goes out to Darcy, truly.

B: But honestly whenever I think about that time now, I just find it hilarious. There I was, unable to afford therapy, so I was having a breakdown with my baby LMAO

B: I do hope Darcy finds that time as something she could laugh about now.

J: oh she does. she’s very transparent to the twins and she’s shared with them her lowest moments as their mum often as a light-hearted anecdote.

J: but i have to say—despite that, all darcy’s self-deprecating jokes aside, scout and bonita are very much understanding of their mum’s circumstances, which only goes to show how she has beautifully raised the twins. bonita is especially well aware that she can be a pain in the ass and that she’s glad her mum just cried with her even when she was a baby if it meant having to get a proper scolding without her understanding a single word.

B: So… would you count that as the hardest thing you ever had to do? Raising the kids together?

J: not really, no. i mean raising the twins was hard but it’s the kind of hard that feels so easy? i hope that makes sense.

B: Yup, it does. I get it. I felt the same way with Ellie.

J: so yeah. i suppose having to leave them that is the hardest.

B: How so?

J: because i ended up hurting them.

B: Can I ask you something?

J: sure, go ahead.

B: You still love her, don’t you?

J: yes. i suppose you can say that the other hardest thing i had to do is how to stop loving her.

J: clearly i’m not very good as it.

7. Who do you look up to?

B: My Mom and Cor, for sure.

J: i’m not sure…

B: Do you mind if I take a wild guess?

J: sure, go shoot your shot.

B: You look up to Darcy. What you’re not sure about is whether to share that information or not.

J: i’m starting to hate how astute you are, Your Majesty.

B: HAHAHAHA

B: Why thank you very much. 🥰

8. What do you think had the biggest impact on you growing up?

B: Javi and I both agree that our answer here is the same as the one we gave in #4 LMAO

9. Are you a spiritual person?  If yes, what do you practice?

J: i was raised a catholic but now i really don’t practice anything.

B: As for me, I was certainly raised to practice not giving a fuck about the gods.

10. Where were you born?  Where did you grow up?  Where do you live now?

B: Born and raised partly in Tenebrae and currently living here once more. The rest of my childhood was spent between Leide and Insomnia.

J: born and spent most of my childhood in la paz, bolivia until my family and i were moving between one south american city after another in my teens. now i live in kent.

11. What is your favorite type of media (TV, movie, books, etc)?  Name some specific favorites (which shows, movies, books, etc do you like)!

B: Books all the way. And Pablo Neruda has a special place in my heart.

J: it would be movies for me. i am particularly fond of historical drama and war films and my current favourite would be the one scout recommended that i watch, which was the pianist.

12. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? (on vacation or permanently!)

B: I’m actually interested to go and see where you live, Javi.

J: i could say the same with you.

B: I guess we could exchange cities for a while for a vacation, no?

J: a wonderful idea. you can run my winery and i would…?

B: attend meetings with my advisors, hold court for tenebraeans needing counsel, and help my husband train my queensguard.

J: great. i think i’ll just stick to my winery then.

B: LMAO

13. You’re given an unlimited budget to build anything you want!  What do you build and where do you build it?

B: Rebuild the cities destroyed by the Empire, restore Tenebrae’s historical sights, improve the transport system, create more creative spaces for young people, among many other things.

J: i don’t think i could follow from that excellent response but all i could think of is the same thing but i’ll do it in la paz. fix everything that the cartels have destroyed.

14. What are your favorite music genres?

B: Indie rock and pop and classical.

J: Jazz. And classical, too.

15. Do you play any instruments?  Which ones?  How long have you been playing?

B: Unfortunately I can’t play shit for the life of me LMAO

B: Javi?

J: i’m strangely proud to admit that i do know how to play the guitar. my mother taught me when i was very young and it’s how we spent most of our time together: me playing her favourite songs while she sings along.

16. Describe your perfect day.

B: Breakfast with Gladio and Ellie, a quiet time in the library, a nice swim down at Zoldara Lake, and a day without me having to go about any royal duties. All four would in one day would be absolutely perfect.

J: A good cup of coffee, a walk down the vineyard, drive around town, getting some time with the twins.

17. What makes you laugh?

B: Ellie’s actually pretty funny and witty so she’s the one who makes me laugh the most.

J: bonita made me watch these silly videos of cats from this social media platform and i hate to even admit this but those are funny.

B: I didn’t peg you as someone who would enjoy cat videos. Color me surprised.

18. What’s the best way to cheer you up?

B: A good glass of wine should do the trick.

J: funny you should mention that because wine also cheers me up and i happen to have a winery.

B: Yes that’s me saying I would appreciate a bottle every now and then. As a treat.

19. What makes you sad?

J: can we skip this one?

B: Absolutely not.

J: okay then i guess what makes me sad is thinking about the things i’ve done in the past.

J: your turn

B: I’d say… thinking about the time I lost Ellie’s dad.

20. Describe your biggest pet peeve.

B: Idiots.

J: same.

B: Also people who are just deliberately unkind and those who refuse to change.

J: as bonita would say… big samesies

21. Describe your ideal partner.

B: I am very fortunate to have married my ideal partner and best friend.

J: then i guess i’m very much unfortunate that my ideal partner and i have already divorced.

B: Javi, I shit you not, after this interview I will hook you up with someone.

22. What’s the easiest way to flirt with you?

B: Here’s the thing… sometimes I can be completely oblivious with how flirting works. Which drives my husband mad at times because he’ll be doing this extraordinarily sweet thing and it just registers to me as him being awfully nice because there’s a special occasion LMAO

J: now that’s a relief to hear

B: LOL why!!

J: i just realized that i���m not as awkward as i think i am jajaja

B: HAHAHAH

J: to be perfectly honest, i can quickly get on with it through text or anything in the written form, which is probably the easiest way that anyone could flirt with me. but if it’s done in person, i do have the awful tendency to be oblivious. i have a number of people who have pointed this out, my brother most especially.

B: Now I’m curious to know: how did you and Darcy even started dating when you’re this awkward little duck? Like how did you even flirt with her?

J: texting was still not a thing at that time so i wrote her letters and poems.

B: Are you serious?? you say you’re awkward at flirting when you WROTE HER POEMS? Get the fuck outta here!!

23. Have you ever had a crush on someone?  Do you have a crush now?

B: Um, yes. And not to be an absolute sap but my crush now is my husband?

J: don’t worry, that is completely valid.

24. What would you consider your main love language?

B: I can’t say I only have one main love language; I’m actually inclined on both quality time and acts of service, for sure. I love doing things for the ones I love and whenever I get to spend time with them, and I very much appreciate it when they do the same.

J: i’m a quality time kind of guy, and also physical touch. it is certainly nice to hold someone you love and to be held by them.

B: Goddamn the poet jumped out, good sir! 🤭
