2023 recap

studies: did not make much progress with my thesis. in april i got accepted to a post-disaster heritage restoration workshop in bosnia-herzegovina but turned it down despite a scholarship offer. applied to a youth heritage conference in saudi arabia but didn't get it.

home: in june, my best friend jerome moved in with me. i now have all the furniture that i think i need and i am happy with the way my place looks. i inherited a few things from my dad, some from prisa who when i was sad took me to their abandoned ancestral house in san juan and told me to pick out anything i want.

finances: i did okay. spent too much upon getting home from marinduque. also spent too much on transportation but i've been taking the commute and walking and walking and walking a lot lately. invested a good chunk of my money in a family friend's business - it feels right to be less liquid since the depleted amount in my bank accounts motivates me to be less thrifty.

advocacy: started volunteering as a docent at the ateneo art gallery in july. gave a lot of tours and helped out at various exhibitions from july to september, although there were less opportunities when the school year started due to the surplus of interns. i volunteered at an archival effort on the labor movement.

health: if memory serves, i didn't get sick this year. mental health took a deep dive in september courtesy of all the grief. somewhat better now. physically i have never been stronger.

work: led a successful project in marinduque from january to june. briefly dipped my toes in tech from july to september. gave a cultural mapping training in naga in august. pretty much made the de-facto head of my ngo (aside from training & development head and corporate treasurer, haha). interviewed a ton of people while assembling my team for upcoming projects. acquired contract for san pedro last month and currently working on the project proposal.

reading: neglected reading in q2 and q3 of the year. crammed a lot in q4 to make it to the 50-book mark. been reading a lot of manga lately - reread of nana and just hours earlier finished dance dance danseur. standouts this year: tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow by gabriella zevin; the sympathizer by viet thanh nguyen; raise high the roofbeam, carpenters and seymour: an introduction and nine stories both by salinger. wish i read more non-fiction.

travel: spent a week in zambales in february. work in marinduque from february to june. work in naga in august. mindanao backpacking trip in september. two days in fukuoka in october. heading up to baguio for new years' with my family.

relationships: broke up with [redacted1] in january. started dating [redacted2] in april, dumped him in july. started dating [redacted3] in august, dumped him in october. two hook-ups along the way. none of these will leave a scratch save for my relationship with [redacted1].

family: my father died in september, cutting my mindanao trip in half. he converted to islam, apparently, and i had to go home immediately. saw my family from that side for the first time in a decade. i missed them. my uncle, my mom's brother, died three weeks later. on good terms with my brother now (after all that tragedy it was inevitable). should make more effort to spend time with my family. i love them and no one else understands all the shit that makes me who i am.

hobbies: took art classes in january but dropped it. should pick that back up again. started bouldering in june. around the same time i also started cooking more. picked up the piano again in september. yoga and pilates in october. i feel like the latter suits me and my needs better, so decided to focus on that. started making video games again this december.

music: a lot of kanye. didn't like the new bad bunny album that much. my love mine all mine by mitski has been stuck on repeat. had the recording of hadestown on repeat when i first started dating P. listened to a lot of rachmaninoff, liszt.

friendships: grateful that i have become much closer to prisa and miyuki this year. living with jerome has mostly been easy. didn't feel all that connected to jorou this year, but he knew exactly what to do during that first wave of grief. i love hya and kat and joel too.

Introduction Post!!!

Hey everyone! I figure that now that I have a Tumblr account, I should introduce myself to my fellow Tumblr users. Because why not??

First of all, I don’t think it’s too hard to ask to not be a douchebag, so don’t be one. Plain and simple. Secondly, I am staying away from politics on this blog, because I (as well as many others) use Tumblr for escapism. I don’t want to bog Tumblr down with real life stuff.

Okay, now the fun stuff!! :D

Likes/Hobbies:

Reading - I've been a big reader since I was 2/3 years old. When I was younger, one of the biggest things you could do to piss me off was to not like reading (TBH, it still pisses me off a l’il if people don’t like to read, but I’ve been working on trying not to get as annoyed by it - after all, respect people’s opinions). Have a book rec for me? Want a book rec from me? Let me know! WE COULD FORM A VIRTUAL BOOK CLUB

Musical Theater - in love with Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, Heathers, and Six (which is criminally underrated, BTW). I’m kinda mixed on Be More Chill.

My friends actually deterred me from musical theater because they quoted/sung/talked about Hamilton NON-STOP (I promise I’m not this annoying) - Cut to Hamilton dropping on Disney+, and now I’m Hamiltrash

Dear Evan Hansen was the first musical I actually got obsessed with after reading the novelization.

Saw a “Candy Store” and then “Beautiful” animatic & now I’m part of the Heathers fandom

Heard Annapantsu’s cover of “All You Wanna Do,” thought Six sounded interesting, heard the Aimie Atkinson version, fell in love. Then heard “Don’t Lose Ur Head” on Spotify - Became a hardcore fan after hearing those two songs

I wanted to like Be More Chill because out of all the musicals, the plot of BMC sounded the most interesting. I like some of the songs (mainly “Be More Chill Pt. 1,” “A Guy That I’d Kinda Be Into,” “Michael in the Bathroom,” and “The Smartphone Hour [Rich Set a Fire]”), and everyone’s (both OG Cast & Broadway) vocals are great, but a lot of the songs aren’t doing it for me

Musicals to get into: Beetlejuice, Mean Girls (I enjoy “Meet the Plastics” though), Hadestown

Animation (too bad I can’t draw) - say what you want about Disney not putting in any effort with their movies anymore (live-action remakes and garbage sequels, I’m looking at you), Disney TVA is still as great as ever (and other non-Disney animated shows are obviously great as well) Animated fandoms:

Kim Possible

Phineas & Ferb

Gravity Falls

DuckTales 2017

Tangled: The Series

Mickey Mouse (2013)

Avatar: The Last Airbender

The Dragon Prince

The Amazing World of Gumball

Wanna get into Hilda, BoJack, She-Ra, & Amphibia

Other TV shows! - currently watching Community (which is like my comfort show) and Middleditch & Schwartz. Also started Anne with an E (it’s better than books, which I already thought were pretty awesome?? That almost never happens??). Wanna get into the Schur-verse as well (Parks & Rec, The Good Place, Brooklyn 99)

Mythology!! - gotta be honest, not a huge fan of Greek (feel like I’m overexposed to it), but Aztec mythology, Incan mythology, Norse mythology, and differing myth systems of Africa/Polynesia/Native Americans? Yes please! And since I’m Hindu, I’ve been raised on lots of Hindu epics & myths, so I’ve got kind of a bias towards Hindu mythology as well. Know any fun myths? Lemme know! Let’s chat!!

Random stuff/misc. - trivia (love Trivia Crack, part of Scholastic Bowl); recently started writing short stories (both fanfic and not fanfic); also Disney (hate the company’s policies, but I still follow literally everything regarding their upcoming projects and find easter eggs/trivia in/about each of their movies); podcasts (listening to The Darkest Timeline with Ken Jeong and Joel McHale - same with the books/myths, if y’all got any more podcast recs for me, let me know!); Among Us; chocolate

Okay, so.

I was gonna do a dislikes section, but that’s no fun. Also, this post is long enough, and it’s a quarter till eleven right now and I have to get ready early tomorrow. So, I’m just gonna post this as it is - I hope you got to know me better! Hopefully I can come back and edit it, lol, because knowing me I definitely forgot a lot of stuff

* GETTING TO KNOW THE MUN :

NAME : charlotte NICKNAME : charlie FACECLAIM : i’ve had MANY throughout the years but now i just use rai icons for myself too lmao bc we’re basically the same human PRONOUNS : she/her HEIGHT : 5′9 BIRTHDAY : 26th dec AESTHETIC : idk something outdoorsy probs?? or like old books? idk man. definitely something with kinda muted, earthy colours bc i’m around animals 24/7 LAST SONG YOU LISTENED TO : chant - hadestown FAVOURITE MUSE (S) YOU’VE WRITTEN : honestly??? probably rai. but tex and eugene will always have a special place in my heart. and that one time i wrote drake and josh was hilarious

* GETTING TO KNOW THE ACCOUNT :

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO TAKE ON THIS MUSE : he was my favourite as a kid (and my first ever crush lmao) i’ve loved him since i was 6 years old, basically adopted his personality and then rewatched the show last summer and got super inspired to write him. his whole arc really Hardcore Resonates with me and i feel like i understand his mindset on a personal level so figured i’d be able to do him justice in an rp sense \o/

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE ASPECTS OF YOUR CURRENT MUSE : iDK i love how adaptable and unpredictable he can be?? and that he’s basically just a chaotic good boy. completely disobedient when need be but always wants to do the right thing, regardless of how many rules he has to break. don’t ask me what my fave thing about rai is, yo, i could write many essays

WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST INSPIRATION WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING : bouncing ideas off other people, my own random wonderings, the playlists i have... they’re the main things! but also i sometimes see bits of him in OTHER characters when i watch/read other stuff, and that can give me inspo too~

FAVOURITE TYPES OF THREADS : literally any kind of thread tbh! but i especially like either really stupid chaotic stuff for the fun of it or else stuff where i really get to dig deeper into rai’s mindset, for the challenge and discovery aspects

BIGGEST STRUGGLE IN REGARDS TO YOUR CURRENT MUSE : sometimes it’s hard to get his voice down - he’s multilingual and brazilian and i’m just plain old english which can present a bit of a challenge. i also used to struggle with letting him be on the ruder side as he sometimes is but i think that’s improving

okay, it’s way late and I need to get to sleep. fortunately I at least don’t have any evening plans tomorrow so I can at least sleep in a bit (probably till like 1 like I’ve been doing) and still get a solid amount of work done. today was pretty decent. I knew by how tired I was last night I was never going to be able to convince myself to get up for church so I just didn’t try. I woke up to the alarm at 11 so I didn’t sleep in too much and could get brunch still, Jess had just messaged me asking about it so I got ready and met her at the usual place. I actually changed my order a bit because my acid reflux has been really bad lately and my usual order can set it off sometimes, so I opted for just the normal french toast which was still very good. So we had a nice brunch and then returned to our respective apartments. I was supposed to meet a boy for ice cream at 3, so I just kinda laid on my bed and was lazy for a bit until I started to do my makeup and get ready. I headed out with what should’ve been plenty of time to get there, which was somewhat more than normal because the bus I was taking goes down the main street of my neighborhood which is currently blocked off for the midsommarfest event they host every year (my neighborhood has very Nordic roots) so I planned on walking down to where that ended and catching the bus there, but when I got to the corner the bus was right there, it’d apparently been rerouting to the road closer to me to then turn down the main road, so I just got on there, which would’ve made me get there pretty early, but when we went to turn onto the usual road there was some issue and we were stopped for a bit and the driver was like out of the bus trying to look at something underneath it, but then we pulled onto the road and after a few blocks we stopped and the bus driver apparently announced that we needed to get off and get on another bus coming because there was something weird going on with the front of the bus related to strange vibrations or something like that?? I say apparently because I had my earbuds in and was thoroughly enamored with my phone while the announcement was happening and I didn’t even realize it was taking place until people started getting off the bus lol, yay for millennial stereotypes. so we waited for another bus that came after not too long, and took that bus to the ice cream place. It was in Wrigleyville, aka the neighborhood surrounding Wrigley Field where the Cubs play, it’s like 90% bars lol but there’s some other stuff too. The guy was already there so we got our ice cream, which was slightly disappointing because they were out of my favorite flavor from them (they’re like a small chain with super unique and original flavors, my favorite is cream puff but they were out) so I went with “sweet cream biscuits with peach jam” which is a bit of a mouthful lol and it was good but not as good as the other one, but oh well, it was free ice cream so that’s always good. The boy was thoroughly bleh, he was wearing a polo shirt and I was wearing ripped jeans and a leather jacket....lol. But we finished and then walked around the neighborhood for a bit until I was like “I should probably be getting home” after a total of a little less than an hour, so we said goodbye there and I got on the bus back north and went home. Not long after getting home I got a text from him that was like “it was nice meeting you but I didn’t really feel like we had a strong connection” and I was like “lol yeah same but nice to meet you too” so at least I don’t have to worry about potentially ghosting him. From there I went on my laptop for a bit and watched more Anthony Bourdain before talking to Jess and deciding to get dinner at a Thai place close to her since all the restaurants we’d normally hit up with blocked off for the festival. so I walked over there and we went to the restaurant, I was crazy about my main dish but the meal was still nice I suppose. so we did that and then I went home and turned on the Tony awards. I was a bit late tuning in but I have it recorded so I’ll go back and watch the beginning, it looks like I didn’t really miss anything I actually care about other than Ali Stroker winning which I’ll have to go back and watch because I need to see that happen, as the first person in a wheelchair to perform on Broadway and is now the first person in a wheelchair to win a Tony, that’s pretty damn historic and I’m very happy for her (though apparently she had to wait backstage because they didn’t make the venue accessible for her to actually get onstage, which is.....bad). But yeah, it was good from there, I actually tuned in right as the performance from The Prom was being introduced so it was truly perfect timing, and they totally killed it. I fully expected them to keep the kiss in but it was still great to see. I’m sad for them that they didn’t end up taking home any Tonys, especially for Caitlin because I do think she deserved that leading actress in a musical Tony, but it’s like that sometimes and I don’t begrudge Hadestown for any of its wins because by all accounts so far it’s an awesome musical and deserves to be acknowledged as such. I was kinda pleased Burn This didn’t take anything home lol which sounds mean but like, it just wasn’t a good show and didn’t really deserve the nominations in the first place, my guess is they mostly resulted from there only being so many revivals to nominate for that category, and they felt semi-obligated to nominate Adam Driver since he’s a hollywood actor and all that (bleh). The only other show I’ve seen that was nominated was King Kong lol, which did lose the 3 technical Tonys it was nominated for, but they then did a video with two of the announcers with the puppet talking about the show and announcing they’ll be getting a special Tony award for their achievements in mounting such a crazy production, which feels kinda like a “good effort” award being that they weren’t good enough to actually win any of the normal Tonys lol but I was ultimately happy for them because while the artistic portions of the show were total crap, the technical elements were stunning and groundbreaking and they should be recognized for that, even if it doesn’t fit into an existing category. I’d been wondering for months if they’d manage to bring the puppet to the Tonys, but I think the way they did it was good. And yeah, that’s about all my thoughts on it, not bad overall. Once it was over I watched a little bit of the news and then some more Anthony Bourdain before getting in the shower and starting to get ready for bed, and now I am here and it is late late late so I will end this here. Goodnight babes. Hope your Monday doesn’t suck.

Not sure if the song prompts have to be without lyrics but could you do ‘Hey, Little Songbird’ from HadesTown. I love your writing btw

Everytime I hear the word “Songbird” I think of Rei, and whenever I think of Hades I think of Reaper (And I kind of saw the Aedan-Rei-Reaper dynamic as a sort of interpretation of Orpheus-Eurydice-Hades), so I guess this is the result of that.

I’m still figuring out what “Endgame” looks like for the Kid Continuity, so consider this just possible notes on that outcome and they could be overwritten/retconned later.

—-

“This is pity, isn’t it?” said Reaper.

Rei didn’t make eye contact, only kept working at the wound in his side.

“You don’t owe me anything. This isn’t—”

“This isn’t my fight, yeah, I know. You said the same thing to Marti,” said Rei.

“You know the right thing to do is to just let this end,” said Reaper.

“I can’t do that,” said Rei, looking up from the wound, “You need to be held accountable–Talon needs to…”

“Yeah I know the spiel,” said Reaper, glancing off, “Not fair to put ‘Judge, Jury, and Executioner’ on a kid.”

“I’m 22,” said Rei.

“Fucking hell… don’t say that. I’m too old for this,” muttered Reaper. He paused, “You wouldn’t even be killing me. It’d just be letting nature take its course…” he looked at his own hand dissolving into smoke, “Nature hasn’t been able to take its course on this body in a long, long time.”

“Sorry, can’t do that,” said Rei, continuing to work.

“…there’s a lot more of your mother in you than people realize, huh?” said Reaper.

“What–valuing life?”

“Stubbornness.”

Rei narrowed her eyes. “I’m not the one still fighting even though my body started falling apart years ago,” she said.

“Hmph,” Reaper glanced off. A long silence passed. “You changed everything,” said Reaper, “You made this fight ten times messier than it was before just by coming into existence.”

“I’m not going to apologize for being born,” said Rei.

“Don’t expect you to,” said Reaper.

Rei continued working at the injury. “Aedan said you showed him a data drive,” she said after another long pause, “And that data drive was one of the reasons he defected.”

“I just gave him a choice I didn’t have when I joined Talon,” said Reaper.

“Aedan also said one of the reasons they made him was to synthesize better treatments for you,” said Rei.

Reaper kept a steady look at Rei.

“Did you send him off because you want to die?” asked Rei.

“What are you, my shrink all of a sudden? I didn’t send him off. I just said I gave him a choice. Because he deserved better than to be my… nanite organ donor.”

“So you cared about him,” said Rei.

“Cared? No. I just have standards,” said Reaper.

Rei withdrew her hands from his wound. There wasn’t much more she could do to keep it stabilized.

“My Uncle told me stories about you,” said Rei.

“That’s all there are. That’s all anyone has to go on. Stories.”

“You taught him everything–”

“Not everything, he never fails to mention that bit—”

“You gave him a choice, too,” said Rei,

Reaper paused.

“He wouldn’t be who he was today if you didn’t give him that choice,” said Rei.

Reaper was silent.

“When was the last time you felt like you had a choice?” asked Rei, tilting her head.

Reaper took a long rasping breath and settled a bit against the rubble he was propped against. “You really got the worst of both of them, didn’t you?” said Reaper.

16. favorite movie?

Power Rangers

17. who would be your ideal partner?

Uh, idk. Someone who likes to cuddle, doesn’t mind being affectionate but can give space when needed and doesn’t let me fall back on my own shit. Someone who can make me smile just by thinking about them. Someone who I can talk to about the stuff I enjoy and who will talk about the stuff they like, even if they’re not common interests.

18. do you want children?

No.

Mmm, not really. All that attention seems terrifying. But like, if I could be, celebrity enough that I’m well-known among people and get good wages doing whatever, then yes.

28. what type of music do you like?

All kinds. I have aversions to stuff that picks at my ears wrong or makes my heart beat too fast, though, so a lot of hard metal and soca wind up being out.

29. have you ever been skinny dipping?

Yes. I was a toddler. Clothing means nothing when you’re a baby and live in a hot-ass humid climate.

Yes.

36. favorite clean word?

Shiz :D

37. favorite swear word?

Fuck.

38. what’s the longest you’ve ever gone without sleep?

29ish hours? I stayed up one day to chat with a person who lived in Australia, wound up having to go to the store with my mom around 8 to get school clothes and crashed when we got back home about noon/one o’clock.

Though this month should raise that up higher given I have to be up for my exams starting at 9, stay up to catch my early morning flight the next day and stay up to catch my transfer flight and then keep staying up so I don’t crash through dinner and wake up at like one in the morning, like someone with jet lag. (Bermuda and Halifax are literally in the same time zone, I cannot do this to myself)

39. do you have any scars?

Yes. It stretches shortly on my forearm. I got it from an iron burn when I was about 12, I think?

40. have you ever had a secret admirer?

I think so?? If that’s what you’d call whoever keeps sending me those really sweet anons. :D

41. are you a good liar?

Sometimes.

42. are you a good judge of character?

I’d like to think so.

43. can you do any other accents other than your own?

I can do a semi-decent Irish/Scottish accent from my years of obsessively watching Ronan Inish and a thicker, more prominent Bermudian accent, like what my granny or teachers would have.

44. do you have a strong accent?

I don’t personally think I have an accent. My mom is deaf, my dad is American and the kids and family I grew up around never really used the thick version of a Bermudian accent.

45. what is your favorite accent?

I don’t know. I don’t think I have one? Mostly other accents are just the way people talk and if anything, just amuse me. Like for example, my friend’s Bahamian accent kills me, especially when she starts chatting with her friends from Nassau and their accents start rolling out super thick to the point where you gotta really pay attention to zero in on their words.

But, in Bermuda you’re taught by literally anyone so accents are just?? a thing that exist. I don’t have a favourite.

46. what is your personality type?

MBTI wise, a split between INTJ & INTP. Other types? IDK.

47. what is your most expensive piece of clothing?

PFT, prolly my shoes? I don’t really buy clothes. Though if my cousin’s coat no longer fits by the time the cold really hits and I need to use it, it’ll probably be a winter coat.

48. can you curl your tongue?

Yes.

49. are you an innie or an outie?

Innie

50. left or right handed?

Right handed.

51. are you scared of spiders?

Small spiders? No.

Giant spiders? Yes.

Weird looking spiders? Only if they’re too close to me.

52. favorite food?

Pineapple pizza. Apple spice cake too, I guess??

53. favorite foreign food?

Chinese, please and thank you, hit me up with that sweet and sour chicken.

54. are you a clean or messy person?

I try to be clean but depression and lack of energy makes it difficult. But I keep myself as organized as I possibly can and use procrastination to keep stuff as well-put as I can.

55. most used phrased?

I don’t even know.

56. most used word?

I also do not know.

57. how long does it take for you to get ready?

Pft, 7 to 15 minutes to shower on average (depends on if I’m washing my hair or not), fives minutes for face and teeth, five minutes to dress and like three hours to actually get up to get ready. :P

58. do you have much of an ego?

I try very hard not to.

59. do you suck or bite lollipops?

Suck.

60. do you talk to yourself?

I used to when I was younger. Still do sometimes.

61. do you sing to yourself?

I used to and then I realized that a) my self-improvised songs are terrible and b) I can’t sing.

62. are you a good singer?

My mom is deaf. My dad has hearing difficulties. My papa’s singing voice is a wail and my granny’s is shrill sadness.

I was not born into this world a lucky man.

63. biggest fear?

Demon clowns. Dying alone. Being alone forever. Not getting to say the things I want to say to people. That I’ll crash and burn before I graduate or sometime soon after.

64. are you a gossip?

No.

65. best dramatic movie you’ve seen?

I dunno. The most dramatic movies I can remember tend to be war films based on true stories and I normally check out during that kind of stuff because thinking about the horrors of history and the fact that people suffered and died at the hands of people who still objectively exists freaks me out, sends me into a pit of misery until I combust within myself.

66. do you like long or short hair?

No preference for other people, short hair preference for myself. Currently, I’m growing it out so my friend can braid it then I’m gonna chop it back off when I get home in May.

67. can you name all 50 states of america?

If an American can’t do that, then what makes you think me, a Bermudian who’s only concern with the US is how it will affect me and my country and literally was over-relieved when I got dropped from a US history class, would ever know that.

Case in point, I spent most of my childhood assuming New Jersey was a city and only found out it wasn’t last year.

68. favorite school subject?

Accounting.

69. extrovert or introvert?

Introvert.

70. have you ever been scuba diving?

No.

71. what makes you nervous?

Life.

72. are you scared of the dark?

Depends.

73. do you correct people when they make mistakes?

Sometimes. It really depends on the person and the situation.

74. are you ticklish?

Yes.

75. have you ever started a rumor?

No.

76. have you ever been in a position of authority?

No.

77. have you ever drank underage?

Unfortunately, I have? but not anything serious. Just a few sips I didn’t want to take three times throughout my life.

78. have you ever done drugs?

Aside from my prescribed and despite my friends’ best efforts, no.

79. who was your first real crush?

Vanessa Hudgens and whoever that boy who played Freddie from iCarly was.

80. how many piercings do you have?

None.

81. can you roll your rs?“

Yes!

82. how fast can you type?

Who knows??

83. how fast can you run?

I can’t.

84. what color is your hair?

Dark brown with a bunch of purple & pink in it.

85. what color is your eyes?

Brown.

86. what are you allergic to?

Severely allergic to dust mites and extremely irritated by pollen and highly perfumed scents. Which, as far as I’m concerned, means I’m allergic to the damn air.

87. do you keep a journal?

Used to. Don’t anymore.

88. what do your parents do?

My dad is an electrician. He does freelance work for people building houses on-island and my mom is a records management administrator at my bank.

89. do you like your age?

I guess?

90. what makes you angry?

Lots of things. I’m very prone to anger. It’s why the Hulk/Bruce Banner was my favourite superhero as a kid and still is.

91. do you like your own name?

Yes! I do actually really like my name, which sucks because sometimes I get upset or uncomfortable when people refer to me by it and why I like it when people call me Jay, but otherwise my birth name is just beautiful and I don’t think I’d ever be able to give it up.

That being said, I super love the name Jay and when I finally move out of my house and away from Bermuda, I want to try using it more socially rather than just online.

92. have you already thought of baby names, and if so what are they?

I don’t want babies.

93. do you want a boy a girl for a child?

Neither. I want another cat.

94. what are you strengths?

I write well, I can speak well and my pale as fuck skin doesn’t let people realize I’m mixed race so, like my friends point out, I get to skirt around the world, practically invisible and I like to work.

95. what are your weaknesses?

Procrastination, tendency to misery over small mistakes, tendency to blow up small things into large problems, tendency to feel abandoned by people who are not abandoning me, inability to properly fall asleep when I feel a lack of affection and touch in my life, inability to listen to people when they ramble on about things I don’t care about, inability to be upfront with how I feel towards my friends and how I feel they’re treating me, etc, etc, etc.

96. how did you get your name?

With my birthname, my mom picked it out from a book, I think?

With my preferred name,I was reading a book about a trans man called “I Am J” and when I got prompted about my name by a friend online, the name just popped into my head, felt immediately right and I used it and connected to it right away.

97. were your ancestors royalty?

I mean I doubt it but I WILL NEVER KNOW.

My mom is black! My dad is adopted! HOWEVER, FINDING OUT ANY ANYTHING ABOUT HER ANCESTRY IS MY MOM’S NUMBER ONE GOAL AND BELIEVE ME, ONCE SHE LEARNS THAT, I WILL LET Y’ALL KNOW.

98. do you have any scars?

Hasn’t this already been asked?

99. color of your bedspread?

Blue and white.

100. color of your room?

Dull green.

Ben Howard: An album that reminds you of your favorite season?

I have no favourite season, so I’m just gonna pick an album for each season (; If I Was - The Staves for Spring; Ultraviolence - Lana Del Rey for Summer; The Colour In Anything - James Blake for Autumn; Blood Bank EP - Bon Iver for Winter

Bon Iver: An album you could listen to on repeat for years?

Hadestown - Anaïs Mitchell, don’t think I’ll ever get tired of that one

Bastille: A song that brings back bad memories?

Violence (Enough Is Enough) - A Day To Remember

The Beatles: An artist you think is overrated?

Maroon 5, songs like This Love, Wake Up Call and If I Never See Your Face Again were great, I even love Payphone, but everything after that was kinda shit. Don’t Wanna Know is just a horrible, repetitive, unoriginal track that no one really asked for. same goes for most of their recent work

Coldplay: A band you used to love but never listen to anymore?

all those bands I listened to when I was 15, Paramore, Pierce the Veil, A Day To Remember etc. I still love them though, I just never get around to listening to them ):

Daft Punk: Favorite instrumental (no vocals) song?

7/8 - The Kyteman Orchestra, The Call Of Ktulu - Metallica

Dawes: A genre of music you absolutely cannot stand?

any kind of EDM lmao

Electric Light Orchestra: Favorite song to help you cheer up?

Baby - Royal Republic, Bewuste Sabotage - De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig, WHAT IS LOVE - HADDAWAY, Blues Is Dead - De Staat

Elliot Smith: Favorite song to listen to when you're sad?

England - The National (tbh any The National song)

never really done drugs I’m a good kid

Fun.: Put your music on shuffle and list the first three.

Songs For Women - Frank Ocean, Molly’s Lips - Nirvana, Burying Davy - The Decemberists

Fall Out Boy: First album you fell in love with?

oh man I guess that’d be an album called Frustraasjebloes by a Frisian troubadour

okay I haven’t got any past lovers, but Man In The Box - Alice In Chains reminds me of a past crush

Eagles, Queen, Pink Floyd, all that good stuff

Imagine Dragons: What song would you want played at your funeral?

Daylight Again - Crosby, Stills & Nash

Jack Johnson: A song you heard in a movie and fell in love with?

I recently watched Hell Or High Water (fucking incredible movie by the way) and fell in love with Outlaw State Of Mind by Chris Stapleton. also, Apple Blossom by The White Stripes was featured in The Hateful Eight, in love with both

Joy Division: Your least favorite album by your favorite band?

(my absolute favourite bands don’t have any weak albums so I’m just gonna pick a favourite band) Death Of A Bachelor - Panic! At The Disco. this album contained several great tracks, but as a whole... it lacked some genuine heart and emotion. it wasn’t as heartfelt and creative as their previous albums

The Killers: Name your top three songs of all time.

Cold Blooded - The Pretty Reckless, Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas, Dear God - XTC

Linkin Park: Suggest a band you think I might like.

you should check out John Coffey and Graveyard! both excellent bands, lots of raw energy and power. John Coffey is hardcore punk, explosive, just fucking awesome. Graveyard is more like a throwback to 70′s stoner rock mixed with hardrock, but sludgier and dirtier

Led Zeppelin: Favorite album art?

Hadestown - Anaïs Mitchell, Bon Iver, Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Reflektor - Arcade Fire, To Pimp A Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar, You’re Dead! - Flying Lotus, The Blackest Beautiful - letlive., In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel, Pretty Odd. - Panic! At The Disco, Schmilco - Wilco, Fear Fun - Father John Misty

Muse: Craziest music video you've ever seen?

that one song by Glass Animals, was it Gooey? anyway, it was super weird and gross and it nearly made me throw up

Mumford & Sons: Favorite cover version of a song you love?

I reaaallly love Father John Misty’s cover of Heart-Shaped Box by Nirvana, both versions are magnificent

The National: A song you sing in the shower?

Easy Livin’ - Uriah Heep

My Little Ruin - Glen Hansard, She Used To Be Mine - Sara Bareilles, Heavenly Father - Bon Iver (acapella)

One Direction: Backstreet Boys or NSYNC?

BACKSTREET BOYS

Pink Floyd: You can go back in time to see any band you want. Who would it be?

Queen: You can meet any band member, living or dead, and hang out with them for 24 hours. Who would it be?

Justin Vernon, Dave Grohl, Stevie Nicks or David Bowie

Radiohead: Favorite concert you've ever been to (or a band you want to see live).

ohhh hard one, as there are so many concerts that were pure magic. tie between Fleetwood Mac, Iron Maiden and any John Coffey show I’ve been to

Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj, both have like 2 or 3 songs that I like, both are admirable women

Roo Panes: Favorite acoustic version of a song?

Oh, Oh, Calamity - John Coffey (unplugged) and For Emma - Bon Iver (blogothèque)

Simon & Garfunkel: Favorite album movie? (Ex. Yellow Submarine, The Wall, Help!, The Graduate)

Skrillex: What's the strangest song you have on your Ipod right now?

Father John Misty’s cover of Ryan Adams’ cover of Taylor Swift’s Blank Space in the style of The Velvet Underground

Tame Impala: A band none of your friends listen to?

i guess The Decemberists? they should though, their music is basically cute folk songs about bloody murder and words you’ve never heard of

Taylor Swift: Name that one artist that literally makes you so angry you're willing to throw the damn radio right out the window to make it stop.

BIRDY

U2: A song or album that somehow got onto your Ipod but you have no idea where it came from??? Weird.

Seasick, Yet Still Docked - Morrissey. for some reason this song was on my ipod, without any mention of an artist. idk man the song was just there. I don’t recall ever downloading it

The Vaccines: What are your favorite lyrics? Quote them for me. Do they mean something special to you?

there are way too many lyrics I love with all my heart, but one of my favourites is on Kim’s Caravan by Courtney Barnett:

“We either think that we're invincible or that we are invisibleWhen realistically we're somewhere in betweenWe all think that we're nobody but everybody is somebody else's somebody”

Vampire Weekend: A band or artist you follow on Twitter?

not really on twitter anymore, but I used to be an Avril Lavigne fan account lmao

Vance Joy: An artist where you can never tell what the hell they're singing?

Pearl Jam

Weezer: Favorite oldschool band?

define “oldschool”??? like Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, or more like Nirvana??? those are my favourites though

The xx: A genre/band you've been getting into that you never thought you would enjoy?

I never thought I’d get into any kind of hiphop, but I’ve come to love and admire all their clever ways of creating music. it’s mind-blowing
