15 questions for 15 friends

Thanks @fangeek-girl for the tag! <3

1. Are you named after anyone?

Nope!

2. When was the last time you cried?

Hmm 🤔 I'm not sure tbh, maybe last week? Two weeks ago? Less than a month most likely. Just felt bad about myself and had a good cry.

3. Do you have kids?

No kids, nor do I want any.

4. What sports do you play/ have you played?

Dance (contemporary and a bit of modern jazz) when I was a kid but I didn't learn much even though i started when i was 3 or 4 i think, and did maybe 8(?) years of it.

Circus for 9 years.

Taekwondo for 2 years (I think you're supposed to be a yellow belt after only two years but my teacher gave me the blue belt so 🤷 guess I'm a blue belt).

Self defense for 1 year.

And ski and snowboard since I grew up in the alps though I barely took any classes, mostly just with my parents.

(☝️ This is making me look super sporty even though I'm really not lol)

(+ all the sports I had to do in PE class in school. I really liked rock climbing, orienteering and step aerobics)

5. Do you use sarcasm?

All the time!

6. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Either clothes or hair I think? I'm not very observant or a good judge of character so it has to be something obvious.

7. What's your eye colour?

Blue 🧿🧿

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings! I don't really like scary movies, though I love suspens and action that get you on the edge of your seat.

9. Any talents?

I have pretty fast reflex? Not sure that's a talent but I'm good at games where you have to catch something or put cards down faster than the other players. Actually I'm good at board games in general (unless I'm playing against my brother, he's way better that me).

10. Where were you born?

In the french alps 🇨🇵🏔

11. What are your hobbies?

Reading (I wish it was more books (it used to be) but honestly most of the time it's mostly fics), playing video games, sewing, knitting, crocheting, random arts and crafts that I'll drop a week later, watching movies and going to the cinema, astronomy (mostly just stargazing so far but one day I'll buy a telescope), playing board games, travelling (does it count as a hobby?), daydreaming about star wars characters...

12. Do you have any pets?

Sort of? I've always had cats at my mom's house but since I moved out it's mostly my mom's cat? But it's also mine and my sister's. Idk it's our cat.

(My mom also has a dog but that's her dog, not mine)

13. How tall are you?

169 cm (which is 5'6" or 5'7" i think)

14. Favourite subject in school?

Maths and Latin

(I was also very good at physics but I didn't love it for some reason, even though that was the most interesting)

15. Dream job?

Prop guy or costume maker in movies (not the designers, the people who actually make the stuff). Or somehow living off of making cosplay and stuff like that (through YouTube and Instagram I guess).

(I'm not actually trying to do any of that though, I don't think I have the skills to do it)

Girl-Dad Hongjoong

Yes I know you can do this stuff with a baby boy too (and you bet your ass Joong would) but I'm dying at the thought of Hongjoong being an absolute simp for his little princess and hiudhsvubi

Now that that's out of the way...

Crying when she's born and he gets to hold her for the first time

His eyes swimming with all the memories he wants to make with this tiny human

Always having heart-eyes for his little girl...always

He could be changing a soiled diaper and still have heart eyes

Just staring at the baby for hours, completely in awe that he helped bring her into the world

But also getting super anxious as 'what if's swirl through his head

Channeling all his fears into incredibly heartfelt songs that he sings to her as lullabies

Sitting at a tiny little table wearing a toy crown and earrings while his baby girl serves him imaginary tea with the cutest little tea set ever (that Hongjoong totally personalized for her)

She would be the most well-dressed toddler istg

Always looks forward to their cute morning ritual of him picking her outfits from a big-ass closet (seriously, this man would LIVE for buying and customizing baby clothes)

But like, if she wants to wear bunny ears or smthin with whatever chic outfit Joong picks out she will and he'll let her

Probably even encourages her to pick out wacky, unique pieces to add some pizzazz to the fit

Daddy-Daughter dates!

Gives her flowers, takes her shopping or to see a movie or something, always getting ice cream on the way home

Mans is wrapped around her finger so tightly you have to force him to leave whenever y'all drop her off somewhere

He will 110% cry on her first day of school

He's like the classroom mom to end all classroom moms

Definitely the Dad that all the teachers and other Moms (and Dads) are in love with...every single one

Like, you know the scene in "The Game Plan" where the Rock's character is sitting in the dance studio and all the moms are like lusting after him? Yeah...every day

Then when she gets older it continues, only now her friends are crushing on her Dad too (DILF Hongjoong anyone?)

But ofc he doesn't even notice, too engrossed in watching his baby do her thing

Going all out for Daddy-Daughter Dances

Buys her a new dress and accessories, making sure he has pieces to match, giving her a cute little corsage that he probably made (or at least designed) Himself

Protective!Dad Hongjoong 24/7

It's not much of a problem when she's little, but when she gets older and boys (or girls) and crushes are a thing watch tf out

I feel like he would have like a sixth sense for judging peoples' characters and if someone gives him a weird vibe he'll keep a closer eye on them

Never says "I told you so" when she comes to him in tears when someone is actually a shit human

Just makes some tea and brings her blankets or plushies or something

He WILL hold a grudge against anyone who hurts his baby girl

Even if she forgives and forgets...he will not...

Tries not to spoil the shit out of her but honestly can't help it

Always buying pretty gifts for her, plushies, jewelry, clothes...the list goes on

Tries to foster a love for music and the arts from a young age

Piano lessons, dance classes, etc.

Always wants to do crafts with her and probably having a whole art room that's more often than not covered in glitter and ribbon

Hyping up everything she makes

Always wearing the things she makes for him

Literally styles outfits around pasta necklaces and decorated ties

Family trips to the nail salon to get matching manicures

Dancing with her standing on his feet

Gets more excited for dino nuggies than she does

15 People, 15 Questions

@foreverchangingfandomsao3 thank you so much for tagging me!!!

1. Are you named after anyone?

I believe I am named after a woman my mother met once. I'm not confident of the full story.

2. When was the last time you cried?

I think it was last week? I don't often cry when I'm sad, but I cry very quickly if I get overwhelmed. I got pulled into a frustrating conversation when I was very tired and not at all prepared for said frustrating conversation.

3. Do you have kids?

No, and I have no plans to have any, for a wide variety of reasons.

4. What sports do you play/have played?

Is competitive knitting a sport? I'm not really a sports person. I was in a little soccer league when I was 10, if that counts.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

Not often. And not well, honestly.

6. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Probably hairstyle, and general vibe.

7. What’s your eye color?

Brown.

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Definitely happy endings, I'm not much of a horror person.

9. Any talents?

I'm very good at understanding how fabric works, and also general crafts and stuff.

10. Where were you born?

The east coast of the USA

11. What are your hobbies?

Fiber arts (knitting, crochet, spinning yarn, dying yarn, and whatever else I'm in the mood for), music (I play the violin and the drum set, and want to learn guitar), reading, and miscellaneous arts and crafts. I love to dabble in new things.

12. Do you have any pets?

A cat named Lily, who is the best. Also a ball python (Sumac). My younger sibling has two rats. And I live on a farm with goats, chickens, ducks, and sheep, who are sort of pets to various degrees.

Except right now I'm doing an exchange year, and all of them are very far away. My host family has two dogs and two parakeets.

13. How tall are you?

About 5ft 10in, or 178cm.

14. Favorite subject in school?

Probably math.

15. Dream job?

Hmm... I'd say my current very specific dream job is to work for a small business of no more than 10 people in the fiber arts industry, where I spend a good portion of my time making things, and maybe do a bit of administrative work too, because I have discovered that I honestly like spreadsheets, as long as they're not completely pointless.

[nanjokei]

i think the spread of character ai usage (and ai art generation usage also) is definitely an issue with people wanting instant gratification which actual rp usually is just not sustainably built for unless you're doing chat rp, even then your friends aren't awake 24/7 waiting at beck and call to entertain you. it's not literally entitlement, but it 100% stems from entitlement to be entertained constantly and passively instead of actually going out and finding something to do.

god this sounds like such boomer shit but the creation of endless scrolling like on tiktok with specifically tailored algorithms has made people so PASSIVE. ai can never come close to human creators but if people, especially the younger generation, are getting too cozy with choosing it over seeking out other human beings (whether it be indirectly via consuming fanmade work or directly via actual collaborative stuff like online roleplay), then how different is it from the ai "winning"? i don't think any of the excuses are valid. it's a subpar product in every way. it's almost never im character, it breaks if you propose anything too left field, and it's ultimately empty wish fulfilment and i have no idea how anyone past the age of 16 AT BEST gets any gratification from it. is it just the spread of a lack of reading comprehension? OPEN THE SCHOOLS!!

i do think it's an issue of people not being comfortable with boredom, always needing instant gratification, not wanting to sit down and hone a craft, or give the people who hone a craft themselves the time of day because they can't crank out """content""" for you 24/7. in a way, i'm thinking right now, when i'm bored i just channel surf on tv even if i don't do it as much anymore. but most people don't have tv anymore (personally we pirate iptv so LOL). i don't blame it on that necessarily, but i think with the rise of streaming, you just sit there on a media library staring at a bunch of thumbnails and posters, having to make a decision on how to invest your time. in this case, i get why people are so passive. tiktok is easier, character ai is easier. because i never ended up watching anything whenever i opened netflix (when we had it years ago). one could argue that watching tv is passive, but there's still a choice. you check the tv guide or google it and you know a certain show is on tv a certain channel at a certain time so you keep that in mind. what do you do in the meanwhile? i remember when that was an actual routine for me. i'd be slacking and not doing my homework, so maybe i'd draw a bit, maybe i play on my ds for a while, maybe i go make myself a snack or bake some pastries if i have all day, maybe i continue a book or even surf the web a bit.

the instinct of "aight, im gonna do something else on my own while i wait" is kind of dying. yes i'm on my phone! the difference is my use case. these days i'm not on social media aside from here so i don't use it as much aside from talking to friends on messaging clients and playing games (rarely tho). i say this as someone who stares at the ceiling not doing anything for a good bit each day, but at least i feel like i still have retained some ability to sometimes go, ok time to learn about a new hobby! i don't have to even pick it up. just entertaining it is gratifying on its own. i'm not a writer, but sometimes i'll write a little bit for fun then go "yeah i get why i don't jive with this". lately, i've been interested in competitive pokemon (with not much interest before) because i've been replaying platinum. i research a bit, watch videos, i even got a little brave and tested some sample teams on showdown. it was a fun time killer! i might keep doing it. i might even do it later today. i started reading pokespe too to scratch the pokemon itch too. and it's not like i don't suffer from crazy hard executive dysfunction but hey, this is a product of my effort. lately i've been thinking i wanna pick a character in guilty gear and learn at least one combo! trying new things is fun!!!

i'm sure this post sounds self important, self impressed, self absorbed (c-c-c-combo breaker) and boomer ish as fuck but honestly i don't care anymore. if someone who struggles with simple tasks on the daily like me can find shit to do that isn't just instantly caving to endless scrolling and resorting to chatting up an AI then i'm sure most people can too. it is so much more gratifying actively seeking out fun than to be passive about it.

Writer Q&A Tag Game

Thank you @sunset-a-story for ALSO tagging me way back in August. I AM SO SORRY

1. What motivates you to write?

It itchy, itchy urge to create something. I NEED it OUT. I MUST make sense of it ALL. The thoughts need ordering and putting together to maximize the happy chemicals. I see something I like that someone else made and I get jealous so I must do something like that, but MY way, and BETTER. It all makes me very itchy (restless).

2. A line/short snippet of your writing that you are most proud/happy of. If not maybe share a line of someone else's work you love (just please credit them)

I skimmed my entire 3rd draft (so far) to pick a line. There are a lot of good ones but none I liked more than the rest - I couldn't choose. So... I know I've already shared this one but dammit. It is a kickass line. It's also the first line of WIPVII - and you do not know what devils I sold my soul to to escape THAT writer's block.

I will live, I tell myself through the salt water in my eyes and the sting of the south wind on my face. This will make for a good story one day.

5. What part of writing do you think you are the best at? (Yes stroke your own ego it's okay)

Banter and wit. Which is funny because I always thought that was the thing I would struggle most with - I was the academic overachiever who took herself too seriously in school. But when I reread my drafts there is something that makes me laugh in nearly every scene. Most of my highlighted lines are banter or retorts.

6. What do you enjoy most about the Writeblr community?

I love seeing writeblr content on my dash and I looooove getting interactions when I liveblog my writing. It is so nice to be able to share this with people who love it too (rather than inflicting it on my poor irl friends who are not writers). I just love all you Writeblr friends so much!

7. A writing tool/device you use that helps you with writing? (It could be speech to text, a writing program etc)

A 2x3.5' and a 3x5.5' whiteboard with a rainbow's worth of whiteboard markers in different thicknesses for brainstorming, family trees, timelines. My sketchbook, a mechanical pencil, and YouTube drawing tutorials for my maps and concept art. MS Word, dark mode, Times New Roman pt 11, with comments enabled for my manuscripts, outlines (bullet points), and worldbuilding notes. Subfolders within subfolders stored on my PC to organize all my Word docs. Two separate USBs which my completed manuscripts are saved to (in case something happens to my computer AND one of the USBs).

I have yet to find any worldbuilding or map making software (and it hasn't been for lack of looking) that gives me enough flexibility. I have yet to find any writing software that has features Word doesn't but that would actually help my process rather than overwhelm me.

I do want to write out a draft of WIPVII by hand at some point (though with my penchant for writing hand cramps this might be doomed). I also want to try an electric typewriter.

8. A piece of worldbuilding that you like in your own story? (It could be the magic system, a particular place in the story, a law etc)

WIPVII doesn't have very complex worldbuilding (there is no magic and most of it is ripped from real world history) but I do always love it when authors tell us what way the wind is coming, what smells it carries, what the view is in the distance, whose lands those are... that kind of stuff. Really creates a sense of place. I spent a lot of time mapping all this out in my own novel and I am very happy with it! The description feels so rich!

9. What piece of advice would you say to encourage others to write if they are having a rough patch?

Learn more about the craft. Writing is problem solving. If you aren't happy with something figure out why - the mechanics and technique behind writing. If you're still stuck learn even more. There are so many great, free resources on tumblr, youtube, blogs, pinterest (though it is most stolen from tumblr) even twitter and tiktok.

Also, learn how to filter out what advice is helpful now versus what should wait for later so you don't get overwhelmed. If you haven't even written a first draft yet don't bother with pacing, exposition, line editing, or let alone how to query. Just focus on the macro-stuff like plot and character arcs.

Good question, I'm still figuring that out. Usually it's I discover a craft, start trying to do stuff in that craft, get half way through and then never finish it.

Also my hobby is thinking about msr 24/7.

Not personally but my family has a load

[firespirited]

I should probably make a scavenging tag to keep tab of this buuuut it kind of goes under the home hacks and multipurpose crafting i've been doing ever since that first 2008 doll streaks with gold embroidery floss rooted using a toothbrush handle with the needle inserted by melting over a candle.

Guess this is kind of my brand. ¯\_(◡‿◡)_/¯

On Friday, I walked Lily briefly and found a big bin bag that was someone's chest of drawers emptied so I sorted it into clothes, recyclable and rubbish put it all in the correct bins and left the clothes and accessories for others to go through after picking out a few gorgeous scarves, a brand-new djellaba in bronze cotton, a lovely stained cream jumper (sweater) that i'm going to dye: it had a snagged loose knit - crochet looking but done by machine - back that just needed re-knotting/rethreading (what ever the word is for when you use tweezers to weave the yarn back through its original pattern and knot it down), a machine knitted snood to frog/unravel, some glitter body lotion and a notebook.

*I found the glue at another bin next to a bunch of tools (including a stainless ratchet wrench 😍 with accessories I couldn't carry 😥) thought I'd grab the glue in case there was a chance you could get some out by using a pin through the top as I'm currently waiting for superglue in the mail. Score: It's not jammed at all.

Loctite powerflex is pricey (€7 for 3g when you can get 20 x 3g liquid superglue for €4) and takes about double the time to set (hold tight and count to at least sixty not thirty) but it is magical stuff: not only does it go where you direct it to, you have a window to wipe off any excess without it leaving damage and it holds really well without cracking on flexible surfaces like vinyl, shoe soles, headphone wires. It's got superglue in it but also some kind of rubber base solution. It's one of those fancy glues you want around for the special stuff while having a backup of bog-standard superglue for basic repairs.

*I keep sleep and symptom notebooks to keep track of any circadian rhythm disruptions, migraines, gastrointestinal issues so I can circle back to a particular food or activity. I'd been using these cute panda shaped accounting notepads and stocked up but as with all things good, they got discontinued. I tried other notepads but it wasn't quite right: it needs to be lightweight, easily replaceable if I drop water on it, as unobtrusive as possible. This merch pocket book with the 5mm squares is just right when unbound into 6.

/// I learned this trick as a kid, someone showed me how different books were bound and how to salvage thrown out school exercise books, remelt crayons, use carbon copy, properly wash brushes... that kind of stuff. I think it was a free summer art class where you turn up and there are all sorts of different people and even if you end up just drawing ye olde square house, you absorb a bunch of history or techniques and get to watch other people: how they sketch, how they observe, I think that was the first time i'd seen cross-hatching and then couldn't unsee it in illustrations. I'm so glad my parents dropped me off at the various council, museum and church free events as a kid: some are really rigid and you get in trouble if you don't assemble the pompom bird exactly as instructed, others are an occasion to bond with some grandpa who'll show you how to whittle or learn and learn. ///

Why not go digital? because you don't want your phone on: you'll forget what you were supposed to do and go down a rabbit hole. Besides, half those things come with weird reward systems that make me feel obligated or guilty, or worse: diet propaganda. So that lil find has me set for the next year, I transcribed my current messy too big notepad into two pages and voilà! (well i still have a couple of symptoms to add now that i look it over)

*After working with yarn for a while, you start to get a sense for the type that doesn't pull apart when brushed or tugged and it's rarer than you'd expect so I took the snood despite not liking the green tinge to the mustardy colour: it doesn't make clawdeen's skin tone pop for example. So it's the right fibre with a light enough base for some dye experiments.

*it has taken forever and it's just a start (50+ more) but I have listed 12 more dolls on ebay!! there are reroots from before I got injured and deglued dolls i'm really proud of. If you're interested, I'd much prefer to sell in bulk to the EU, will happily sell at cost instead of those higher ebay prices and have a ton of doll heads and partially finished projects if you repaint or reroot.

[hyperfixating-rn-brb]

i saw someone else do this and thought why the hell not. some fun things about me :)

I played volleyball from 5th to 8th grade, and had 3 undefeated seasons and 2 conference championships. I'm currently on my high school's varsity bowling team.

Brown so dark it looks black.

[fragilemalachite]

Hello Outer Wilds nation, today I'm coming with some stuff. The open OW species! You can create your own OC, story, adopts(free and not free), but! Don't take ownership of the species. If you do, I will see it and believe me, you will have problems. Anyway, yall get that. About their spacesuits. Suits can be any color that you want, but mostly dark shades. You can put more accessories tho. Use your imagination! I have two OC's. Sympho(aka "Symphoricarpos albus" or Snowberries) and Viper. They both have stories, but Sympho have some connection to the new Universe story, so she have huge lore influence, hehe. I hope that yall will love them and have fun, I guess And don't forget to show me some of yours Lacerians OC's ^^                                   °Species. The Lacerians are smart and carnivorous reptiles with some mammalian traits. They very ancient species, like the Nomai. They see perfectly in the dark and have keen hearing and smell. They can easily hear various kinds of signals that can hardly be heard without special devices. Lacerians are very tall: 4-5 meters, and sometimes they can even reach 8 meters in height, these one's are usually called "Leviathans". The appearance can be different, like the length of the fur, hairstyles and other features. They can be albinos and melanists. Sometimes deaf, blind or mute baby can be born. Lacerians also have mental health problems, may suffer from mental illness or other issues.    °Appearance. Lacerians wear mostly baggy, comfortable clothing that does not hinder movement. The clothes have kinda a cyberpunk style but bright colors are rarely used. Sometimes different accessories can be selected for the image. Rings, bracelets, chains and more. Occasionally, Lacerians may get pierced, wear earrings, paint claws, or get tattoos.    °Biology, baby's. Lacerians are of different sexes, but they do not have the concept of "heterosexual", Lacerians are most often bisexual, but there are different orientations. Viviparous, but do not have milk. Cubs are born blind and with milk teeth, already able to eat meat. 5-10 year old cubs differ little from each other, only in fur and scales colors. From the age of 11, puberty begins.    °Close, biological relative. A close relative of the Lacerians is the Lizard Hound. When the Lacerians were still on the path of evolution, they split up. The evolution of one branch went into the development of the Lacerians, the other branch went into the development of the Hounds. But Lacerians most often hunt Hounds, because they are super-predators and are able to exterminate all Lacerians. Hounds are smart enough to create traps, ambushes, feign or lure. There are very rare cases of taming the Hounds, but this happens when the small cub is taken from an adult.    °Education. The Lacerians are very sensitive to education. They are most often hardworking and their curiosity leads to the discovery of something new. Children's go to school at 6-7 years of age, before that they are taught by their parents. A lot of books and time are devoted to the study of quantum mechanics and phenomena. Because of this, they know a lot more than the Nomai.    °Worldview and culture. The Lacerians are a warlike, skeptical species. They prefer to think logically and question everything they see. Because of this, they had no concept of "religion". They relied on science and, in principle, they are very curious. Despite their disposition, they love art very much and try to take care of the world around them. The culture of the Lacerians was built on doubt, aggression and war. They are good at blacksmithing and are good at crafting different types of weapons. In more modern years, they have even been able to invent firearms. The Lacerians love anything that involves dangerous activities. This is the production of weapons, hunting for dangerous predators, as well as every Lacerian from childhood is trained in hand-to-hand combat, how to handle weapons and sword fighting. Previously, when they entered the newly industrialized environment, the Lacerians mainly exterminated predators and poached, which is why there are extinct animals at the moment. But due to meeting with the *Mojeras, they began to change their opinions, the Lacerians began to treat others more friendly, and try to change their aggressive culture.    °Architecture. The architecture in older times was similar to that of the Hearthians. The houses were made of wood. Over time, new materials appeared. In modern times, houses are made of andesite, bricks, cement, concrete and other materials. Sometimes wood is used, different styles are applied, but modernism is mostly found.    °Relationships with other species. When they first went into space and found the Mojeras, the war started. The Lacerians were terrified, did not realize that there could be other intelligent species until they studied them. Having concluded a peace treaty, they tried to become better and make amends, helped and over time, several species began to live together on planets and study in the same schools. Despite this, the ingrained disdain of the Lacerians remained in the new generations, with some treating the Mojeras with disdain and not being friendly. The Mojeras responded by hating the Lacerians as well, but preferred to do it quietly. When the Lacerians first meet the Nomai, they react less belligerently, but not too friendly either. Sometimes there are disagreements and certain conflicts.    °Relationships with each other. Lacerians always try to be together. Everyone is accepted in society, with or without special features. They are social and do not tolerate loneliness. But sometimes there are cruel, manipulative reptiles. They also have conflicts with each other. Children who are very kind or quiet are more likely to become social outcasts or be seen as weird person. In Lacerian society, there is strict equality and violators can even get exiled.    °Origin of names. The names of the Lacerians come from poisonous plants and poisonous snakes.    °Planet. Planet of the Lacerians - Laceria is similar to the Timber Heart, but colder. On their planet, there is a change of seasons, winter is the longest period, so all Lacerians have warm fur. Gravity on the planet is slightly heavier than on Timber Heart. The star system of the Lacerians is located relatively close to the star system of Hearthians and, in fact, from the Eye of the Universe.    °Space age. In modern times, the Lacerians are able to travel not only between the planets of their system, but also through other star systems. When they met the Nomai, their technology improved markedly. Including, the warp technology was added like that of Nomai, but improved. They could choose and see the point to which they could move.    °New Universe. The Lacerians lived in both the old and the new universe. The history of how they could develop as a species in exactly the same way in the new Universe is unknown, or rather, it is unknown to anyone and probably will never be known. The Lacerians haven't quite transported themselves to the new Universe. They evolved in the same way, making the same mistakes, steps, as in the old Universe, it's just that their interaction is just going on with other species.
