11 More Questions

First mate @letliv3 tagged me back, so here I am again with TMI. This got really long, so buckle up lovelies!

1. What is your favorite movie soundtrack and why?

I have two movie soundtracks on my phone. One is the soundtrack for Sweeney Todd (the one with Johnny Depp—is that how you spell his name? Idc) which I love because the lyrics are clever and I have been a member of many choirs in my life and we’ve sang this musical. The other is for Sucker Punch, the movie with the girl in a school girl outfit and a katana, because there are awesome covers of amazing songs, and they’re so relaxing omg. But other than those, I don’t really pay attention to movie soundtracks. But wait, hang on! When Batman Forever (I think? One of the Batmans from the 90s) came out, my brother, who was is obsessed with Batman bought it, and we used to listen to it all the time. So for nostalgia sake, that one. Kiss From a Rose is like, the greatest song (we never really listened past that track lol!)

2. What is your favorite smell and why?

I like French Lavender because it just smells nice, but the best smell is a mixture of freshly cut wood and sawdust, metal and tools, the dark green Polo cologne, fresh, crisp spring air and a hint of cigarette smoke. That’s how my dad used to smell when I was a child. He doesn’t smell like that anymore. A few years ago, when I was walking under a construction site, I got a whiff of it. From what seemed like a dream I was slammed with childhood emotions, memories of love and safety, bike riding on Saturday afternoons that ended with cherry-flavoured popsicles, laying in a pile, squished on the couch, wrapped up in blankets and surrounded by pillows on top of my dad, while my mom joked about us being as lazy as the lions we were watching on the Discovery Channel. It was a piece of nostalgia wafting over on the breeze. If I could bottle it, I would in a heartbeat.

3. If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

ONLY one? Forever? Ugh I would totally hate that food after a week. So let’s go with something healthy and maybe with a variety of ingredients so I could pick some out if I got bored. But my fav food is hot and sour soup, which doesn’t have much variety. I think actually I’d pick steak. Because you could marinate it differently, but even if you were limited to salt and pepper, you can still make it taste different enough. And different cuts taste different so I’m gonna cheat that way. I will greatly miss that soup though.

4. What teacher has most influenced you in your life?

Good or bad or memorable?

Good: my grade 7 science teacher subtly told me off for being a judgemental 12/13 year old and I still feel the shame of that sharp glance and flat retort. I’ve been much kinder since then.

Bad: my grade 11 art teacher made me feel worthless because the art I produced didn’t fit his idea of how he thought I should be interpreting his ridiculous prompts. I had to do a mixed media piece which explained “The Economic Crisis in China.” And my interpretation wasn’t “art,” but the person who got to chose their topic, chose “Global Warming,” and painted a tiny polar bear in the centre of a canvas with a white background got an A+. I’m not bitter at all, what are you talking about? I hated that he wouldn’t talk about it with me. He expected me to know what he wanted and to just do it, and that’s such a horrible thing for any teacher. In my whole life I have never disliked a teacher. I even like the teachers that everyone else calls hardasses. He and I just didn’t get along.

Memorable: My grade 11 English teacher gets an honourable mention because he was a babe and damn if I didn’t have the hugest crush on him. We used to get into conversations about the origins of words and the history of language and if that isn’t what makes the ideal man then idk what is. Talk nerdy to me 😘

5. Who was your idol as a child? Why did you admire this person?

Samus Aran, from the Metroid video game series. That was my favourite video game, my dad’s fav game, my bro, my male cousins, my uncles…everyone in the family loves that series. It was about a bounty hunter in a set of impressive, head-to-toe armour, who was just the biggest badass; a human trained by an extinct alien species to use their advanced technology and weapons. And the major “reveal” of the game? Samus is a woman. There were no female characters that were playable back then, or that weren’t just princesses that needed saving. There was no game more fun to play, that was as unanimously loved (in my small world) than Super Metroid. And I wanted to be her. We had the same colour hair (they’re changed her design now which upsets the little girl in me) and I wanted to be a badass bounty hunter that defeated space aliens and had the last being of an alien species—that was typically a deadly menace—imprint on me and think I was it’s mother. Little girls have strange dreams ok, and honestly I don’t think that dream will ever leave me. I want to cosplay as her one day, I just have to get the confidence to do so.

6. What kind of coloring books go you like? The simple and succinct ones or the intricate and detailed ones?

Eh, well I’m an artist so I much prefer to draw. But both have their ups and downs. The intricate ones can be very relaxing, as you can easily colour in pleasing patterns. But the simple ones give you more space to “freestyle” so to speak. But I love co-op colouring with children. When my cousins were super young I used to draw them pictures to colour in, and their mom has kept them all.

7. What are your go-to pair of shoes?

Slip on flats, when the weather permits it. I can take them on and off without any fuss, no ties or buckles. I have a pair now from sketchers which are plain black…something. They’re accidentally (yes, accidentally is the right word) construction shoes. They can withstand over 30k volts of electricity or something, idfk I don’t understand safety shoes. All I know is that I’m not getting electrocuted any time soon. Try me, lightening. I dare you! ⚡️⛈🌩

8. What would you name your Direwolf if you had one?

I want to say “Lucky” only because those guys don’t have much, but if we’re not being superstitious, then probably “Paul.” Because of a Family Guy joke.

9. If you could change one event in the past, what would it be? (It doesn’t have to involve you in any way.)

I…I’m really sorry, but I can’t answer this with complete honesty. My first and second responses are too personal. But my third? Hmm, if I’m being selfish, I’d close my eyes (so vague mwahaha). If not…there’s too many to chose. So many tragedies the world has faced, I can’t choose one that weighs heavier than any other, or would make the biggest impact. Because you also have to consider that some good came out of those tragedies. And if you stopped one event, then whatever tensions were being built up would just break at another time. Maybe I’d stop a natural disaster from occurring, save a bunch of lives. I’d actually love it if the Library of Alexandria still existed, or the Colossus of Rhodes wasn’t destroyed by an earthquake, or that giant statue of Athena that used to be in the Parthenon wasn’t torn down…I have a soft spot for pieces of history that were destroyed.

10. What is your favorite memory you have with your group of friends?

Not my current group, or a group really. But my fav memory with a friend is with my first roommate in university. We bought a pumpkin to carve for Halloween that turned into a ridiculous photo shoot featuring pumpkin entrails, pizza, and the stars of CSI New York on our shitty tv.

11. If you could become part of your favorite series/ movie etc. would you?

Well, first I have to pick a favourite, which is just impossible. But for the sake of the question, since I’m very involved with the Naruto fandom atm, I suppose I’ll just use that in place of “favourite.” On the one hand, it seems like a drag. Any war-torn place seems horrible in comparison to this world. But then again, magical powers are pretty sick. Would I be born into the world, or transported there? Would I have powers, or be just normal me? Would I have “foresight” based on my knowledge of the series, or be a “tabula rasa?” So many things to consider! When in the series would I be injected? Post the Fourth War, sign me up as I am now, and even as a civvy; so long as there’s some Rokudaime in my life I’ll be fine 😜. Before that? Ehhh…it depends. I’d probably miss everyone in my life over here, and with no guarantee that I’d make new bonds in the new world…ok so I’d def want my friends and family there (well, some of them lol). So maybe, depending on the situation when I got there. Which is pretty much a non-answer. Sorry!

I’m not making more questions or tagging anyone since I’ve done it once already. If you want to answer the questions I laid out in the last one, or answer these questions, just tag me! I’d love to read people’s responses. It’s all so fascinating!

rules: answer the questions and tag nine people you want to know better.

relationship status: single and semi-consciously sabotaging any efforts otherwise

lipstick or chapstick?: my lips are always chapped even though I am constantly applying chapstick. I have chapstick everywhere. I apply chapstick before my lipstick (although tbh I use lipstain more. Does that count?)

last song i listened to: “Not No More” by Cocaine 80s (off of Ghost Lady not The Pursuit EP, and to the uninitiated, the versions are totally different)

last movie i watched: John Wick, with my bro, who has given me the “YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED JOHN WICK YET?!” speech every time I mentioned that I still haven’t seen that movie.

top 3 shows: rn, or of all time? Because rn I’m watching Agents of Shield, Vikings, and Designated Survivor (although I’m so behind on episodes that it’s a joke to say I’m watching tv at all) but of all time I’d say True Blood, Mad Men, and those shitty History Channel documentaries on the antichrist/bible secrets or whatever. They’re hilarious. I will rewatch those episodes; they’re just so dumb it’s amazing.

Top 3 characters: rn, (because of the all Naruto diet I’ve been on) I’ll say Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Gai. Of all time? Godric (True Blood), Joan (Mad Men), and Lagertha (Vikings)

top 3 ships: ooouuu this is hard because I multiship, buuut I have to stick with my baby, MadaKaka. And then (in terms of what I’ve been reading lately) KakaSaku (although I’m getting a little bored of the repetition, I need some good AUs where their age dif/student-teacher relationship isn’t the main thing being talked about all the time. Throw me some age-swap, gender swap, or same-age AUs and I’ll love you, but I’ve prob read them all lol). Finally, to go outside of Naruto because I’m too obsessed, let’s go with Tomione, with a Time-Travel AU, because I have too much of a thing for time travel. If I had to choose a super power, that would be the one for me lol!) I do like OC fics tho, it’s interesting to see what sort of characters people create and wonder why they made that person a certain way.

I tag: @cassandrasdreamworld, @letliv3, @padlocked-quintus and @kunoichi-ume (if you’ve already did this sorry I didn’t notice/remember. I’ve been seeing this all over the place lately and I can’t remember who’s done it or not)

So, if Izuna lives, how does Madara get his Mangekyo you ask? Well how about from Kakashi's own brush with death? I think that's a wonderful way for Madara to get it :)

@letliv3, my most lovely first mate! Welcome to my askbox! And thank you for asking a question! A MadaKaka question is even better. I think I just love talking about this now.

To anyone else reading this, SPOILERS BELOW (for Naruto Shippuden/the last half of the Naruto manga and maybe slightly for something I may write in the future. You should prob just read it tho).

Well, tbh, I think Izuna and Madara got their Mangekyou from watching their other siblings die, not sure on that though. Then when Izuna is critically wounded, he tells Madara to take his eyes. That’s how Madara gets the Eternal Mangekyou.

So what’s happening in this AU, is Madara and Izuna already have the Mangekyou, but Kakashi is the one who suggests (because both are going blind but Madara more so because he overused his eyes) that they just casually switch eyes. It’s a full on, “why are you this dumb? It your eyes that don’t work not your brain. You’re letting yourself go blinder and blinder. You literally just walked into a wall. Just switch eyes.” Only phrased less like me sassing someone and more like Kakashi sassing someone. He’s my spirit animal.

Itachi and Sasuske, or really, Itachi and Shisui, should have just switched eyes. It has been one of my major criticisms of all this Uchiha Eye Bullshit. Although to be fair, Sauce-pants got his Mangekyou from watching Itachi die so he would have had to acquire it another way, but still. Every Uchiha with a Mangekyou should just find a friend and trade eyes. And if there are no even pairs? Three way trade. I just solved every Uchiha’s Mangekyou Sharingan related problem ever. They should make me Clan Matriarch.

However, if Madara doesn’t get his Mangekyou from watching his bros die, or if Young!Madara gets sent to the future pre-Mangekyou, I love the idea of him getting it after thinking Kakashi has died, or even after he has to go back in time. Like he is so devastated and angry at the world for sending him love, but it’s also over 100 years into the future. So he starts hating everything. Izuna tries to help, but not even his beloved otouto can reach Madara this deep into his hate.

I think you’d get a very different world that way. Or maybe even the same one? Actually, this feeds into canon pretty well. The Crazy Moon Plan happens because a Madara wants to live in a fair world where people get what they want. Like to not get unfairly torn away from the love of their life.

I think you’re on to something @letliv3…
