Tagged by @trentcrimminallybeautiful thank you gert my beloved <3
Are you named after anyone? - Yes, but I don't really feel a connection to my birth name much, so I'd rather talk about my online chosen names! For the name Fallon, I just picked it because I liked the vibes honestly and also after an oc I made when I was really little. And as for the beloved name bestowed unto me, Milk. I made a typo introducing myself ("Gallon") and it stuck 😔<3
When was the last time you cried? - hm, probably a couple weeks ago? I cry when I get hungry lmao
Do you have kids? - This bear flowerpot thingy is my beloved son:
But as for human children, no.
Do you use sarcasm a lot?- unsure if absurd threats of eating furniture in response to Cool Art/Fic count as sarcasm, but if so, yes
What's the first you notice about people? - if they have a Funky Outfit on I'll probably notice that first (and then get too intimidated to talk to them because they're CoolTM)
What's your eye colour? - brown
Scary movies or happy endings? - happy ending sorry I'm a coward
Any special talents? - I play violin, and I'm particularly adept at making typos
Where were you born? - hospital
What are your hobbies? - writing, reading, rug-hooking, cooking/baking, going on walks in nature
Have you got any pets? - yes, this is my beloved fool of a dog Clyde:
What sports do you play/have you played? - none on a team, but I like playing tennis and roller skating
How tall are you? - 5'5" I think?
Favourite subject in school? - used to be English lit, but I'm a sociology/gender studies major now. but I also love Italian despite not being very good at it!
Dream job? - currently looking to go into academia! (scary!) but if I could have any job in the world, it might have to do with marine bio/conservation, or cooking, or writing, or an archivist of some sort, or a forensic entomologist, or someone who Sorts things all day, or-

One of my favorite things from the Arthur finale is that baby Kate (now older and in Buster’s class) writes stories about her adventures with Pal and other animals!

My #1 post of 2022
I am not sure why dylan is trending today but he totally deserves it
Screamssssss! So, @personinthepalace tagged me for this fun ask game. Tag nine people you’d like to get to know better
Fave color: Purple
Currently reading: Ooh, I haven’t read something in a hot minute. The last book series I had been reading were the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
Last song: I listen to music off and on, but one that I listen to a lot is a cover of Immortals (Fall Out Boy) by Arianne Via
Last series: I started Good Omens but it got turned off fifteen minutes before the end of the first episode because of an argument with my sister. Another series I was binge watching was Prison Break (and I need to get back to watching it, I stopped around the beginning of the second season and haven’t touched it for months)
Last movie: Turning Red! My sister had wanted to watch it (and I did too because it looked adorable!), so we sat down one night and did just that. Mainly because that day my class was watching it and I was forcing myself to ignore the movie so I wouldn’t spoil it for myself
Sweet/spicy/savory: Sweet, but I honestly prefer sour over all three
Currently working on: I have way too many WIPs, but at the moment I’m focusing on two of them. I’m working on an urban fantasy au fanfiction series. I also have a new WIP for a dream idea I had about two nights ago that I might write in between. Outside of fanfiction, I have an OT3 drawing I want to make progress on, and I’m hoping to work on a crooked cosplay for Halloween ;)
I’m tagging @firesoulstuff, @just-a-fan404, @a-redharlequin, @captaincaitastrophe, @freyreh, @somebodyhelpthenotdeadfreds, @pir8grl, @stillthewordgirl, @jellyfitzjelly and anybody else who wants to play along!
I'm counting some film series here as one, because I can never watch one movie without watching them all. In no particular order:
Lord of the Rings
Pride and Prejudice
Man of Steel and BvS (extended cut) — Look, I know Snyder's DC movies get a lot of flak, but I love them to bits okay. The execution may be shoddy, but the soundtrack gets me so hyped, the themes are thought provoking, and as dark and broody as it gets, it still captures the heart of who Clark Kent is and frames his struggles as Superman in a way that reflects the issues of today. In this essay I will —
Revenge of the Sith — I have a complicated relationship with SW and its fandom, but this movie!!! For all its flaws, I still have so much love for the story, worldbuilding, and Anakin's character development. And the last few minutes of this movie always gets such a visceral reaction from me.
The Dark Knight trilogy
Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes — Unpopular opinion, but this is a much better SH adaptation than the BBC one, in part because they did the villainous love interest trope way, way better.
The Prince of Egypt
Tagging @greenglassmountain, @pugetprincess, @your-girl-is-lovely, @narukoibito, @thelittlehansy, @ddeismile, @foreverdelighted, and anyone else who wants to join!

Rules: Tag 10 blogs you want to get to know better!
Tagged by the lovely @personinthepalace! (I’m sorry it’s taken me ages to get to this!)
Name: I go by Sam here.
Gender/Pronouns: Female. She/Her.
Sexuality: Bi, very, very bi.
Height: Welp 4′11.
Favorite animal: I don’t have one...?
Average hours of sleep: 4-6 when there’s college. Give me holidays, I’ll sleep for 12 hours straight.
Current time: 7:30 pm
Cats or dogs: Again, I’m not really an animal person, but if I had to choose, cats.
Dream job: Damn. I really want to get into research in the field of technology. So, that, I guess.
When I made this blog: I don’t even remember. Probably sometime in 2017, but I have only been actively using Tumblr since COVID brought everything to a stand still.
Why I made this blog: I think I wanted to see and meet more people who were as crazy about fandom as I was. My IRL friends aren’t exactly into the things I am, so yeah, that is how this blog came to exist.
Reason for url: So, I started writing on FF.net back in 2015. And, for some reason, I settled on TheDescension as a pseudonym. I have no idea why I did that, but it stuck, and now everywhere I go, fandom-related or not, where I am in need of an URL, I use some variation of that.
