omg wait this looks fun. i’m committing i’m gonna do the whole thing
1. coffee mugs, teacups, wine glasses, water bottles, or soda cans?
2. chocolate bars or lollipops?
3. bubblegum or cotton candy?
4. how did your elementary school teachers describe you?
they probably thought of me as smart and a good student but a bit odd, overly obsessed with snakes and dragons, and not the best at meshing socially with the other kids lol
5. do you prefer to drink soda from soda cans, soda bottles, plastic cups or glass cups?
I’m a wimp and carbonation hurts so I don’t drink soda but on the rare occasions I get a lemonade or something I’d say plastic bottles
6. pastel, boho, tomboy, preppy, goth, grunge, formal or sportswear?
what’s the name of the style where you only ever wear hoodies and leggings (and t-shirts when it’s hot out and you have no choice) and put zero thought into your clothes otherwise. lol. honestly though if I dressed the way (I think?) I like, the aesthetic would unironically be like medieval peasant or viking or something. give me heavy fabrics in dark earthy colors that hang and drape loosely over the body. give me cloaks and shawls and hoods and robes.
7. earbuds or headphones?
I’m not particularly loyal to either as a medium? both are good. maybe I lean more towards tv shows though.
9. favorite smell in the summer?
the musky smell of a pond or swamp teeming with life. mud and plants and water. full of frog and toad calls, insect chirping, and bird song. that, or lilac flowers.
10. game you were best at in p.e.?
ahhh… none of them? very bad at sports lol. I remember loving the parachute days in elementary school. in middle school we spent some time doing rollerskating, which was fun. in high school I enjoyed doing swimming and later yoga for p.e. I wasn’t the best at any of those but I liked them
11. what you have for breakfast on an average day?
a couple bananas and a nut bar
12. name of your favorite playlist?
I have a few I rotate through. Best of Benn Jordan, Best of C418, Best of Minecraft, Best of Deltarune, HTTYD Soundtrack, and Lyrics (which is just where I keep all the stuff I listen to that has lyrics)
14. favorite non-chocolate candy?
I know there’s probably something I like more that I’m forgetting right now. but the only thing that’s coming to mind is pink starburst
15. favorite book you read as a school assignment?
this is embarrassing but honestly I don’t remember enough about any of the books I read for school to have a favorite out of them
16. most comfortable position to sit in?
criss cross applesauce babyyy
17. most frequently worn pair of shoes?
right now it’s a pair of brown knock-off Ugg boots with the tops cuffed. I thrifted em for a costume and was shocked by how well they fit. when it gets too hot for them, I’m switching back to a black pair of Skechers sneakers. their Arch Fit design is one of the few shoe styles that’s actually comfortable for my feet.
sunny but not overly bright, with some clouds. the right temperature to comfortably wear long pants and a thick jacket, maybe just a liiiitle chiller than that so the air feels nice and crisp and you can feel it on your skin
on my left side, with one plushie wedged into my back and another into my chest to keep me in that position. I do this weird thing with my legs where I take the heel of my top leg, and wedge it under the knee of my bottom leg. I don’t know how else to describe it. does anyone else do that???
20. preferred place to write (i.e., in a note book, on your laptop, sketchpad, post-it notes, etc.)?
depends on what I’m writing. but I’m probably most comfortable writing on my phone
21. obsession from childhood?
I saw HTTYD for the first time when I was 7 years old and it altered my entire brain chemistry. I had the backpack, the shirt, the action figures, the happy meal toys, the DVD I watched literally countless times, the works.
ough I don’t really know if I have one honestly. I have various people I look up to in various ways but I don’t know if I’d consider any of them “role models”. the lady who runs the snake discovery youtube channel is pretty aspirational for me though she looks like she’s living her best life
hm. what’s one that isn’t too weird to share. I need to have a video essay or a podcast or something playing in my ears in order to do anything. cleaning my snake’s enclosure, doing my laundry, working on an art project, etc. if I’m hungry and I want to go make myself dinner, first I’ll scroll through youtube to find some guy explaining the lore of a sufficiently interesting game before I get up lol
SODALITE SODALITE SODALITE!!! my steven universe phase prepared me to answer this one. I’m a slut for anything with a blue black and white color palette.
25. first song you remember hearing?
like… ever?? that’s kind of an impossible question. I guess I have memories of being pretty young and jamming out to They Might Be Giants’ kids album, Here Comes Science. But there’s no way to know which of the various songs and albums I remember listening to came first, chronologically. My memory doesn’t work like that
26. favorite activity to do in warm weather?
going on a walk, looking for critters. Ever heard of herping?
27. favorite activity to do in cold weather?
building shit out of snow!!!
28. five songs to describe you?
Dreiton by C418, Forbidden Friendship by John Powell, Moon And Star by Wintergatan, Aria Math by C418, Tiptoe by Imagine Dragons
29. best way to bond with you?
admittedly, being good at keeping a conversation going lol. I’m very bad at it, and I will love and appreciate you forever if I don’t have to feel awkward around you because I don’t know what to say next.
30. places that you find sacred?
idk… the Earth? like just in general? the whole biosphere and all the land and water and air that support it. maybe that’s a cop-out answer but I think this planet we live on is pretty amazing and deserves a lot of respect
31. what outfit do you wear to kick ass and take names?
I recently thrifted a really pretty black and tan thing which I’ve just learned is called a ruana, and a soft brown knit poncho. I’m obsessed with both of them, they feel great to wear
32. top five favorite vines?
Get out me caaah, FRE SHAVOCADO, Two bros chillin in the hot tub, the Take On Me one, and I’m counting Get Stick Bugged Lol even though it’s not a vine because I love it too much to leave it out
33. most used phrase in your phone?
not entirely sure what this one is asking? but right now the most frequently repeated text I send is just me sharing my daily Metazooa.com results to my mom. play it!! it’s fun!
34. advertisements you have stuck in your head?
🎶773-202 - boop boop boop boop - Luunnaaaaaaa 🎶
35. average time you fall asleep?
my sleep schedule is not nearly normal enough to have an “average”
36. what is the first meme you remember ever seeing?
probably nyan cat. I remember my friend’s older brother showing me the mobile game
37. suitcase or duffel bag?
39. lemon cake or lemon meringue pie?
40. weirdest thing to ever happen at your school?
uhhhhh I don’t know, I’m sure plenty of weird things happened but I don’t remember any of them lol. I guess one time I was sitting in the dining hall and a huge group of several dozen guys in nothing but speedos and sneakers jogged through the door in single file, did a lap around the place while shouting and chanting “RED HOT”, and then promptly ran out the door to, presumably, continue their parade around campus. my guess is that it was one of the sports teams doing… whatever kind of weird rituals sports teams do together lmao
41. last person you texted?
my sibling, about bribing a friend who works at the theater for the Project Hail Mary poster
42. jacket pockets or pants pockets?
43. hoodie, leather jacket, cardigan, jean jacket or bomber jacket?
44. favorite scent for soap?
45. which genre: sci-fi, fantasy or superhero?
46. most comfortable outfit to sleep in?
a soft cotton t-shirt and long, loose pants. fabric that’s thin and light enough to be breathable and unobstructive, but still cozy and sturdy
47. favorite type of cheese?
48. if you were a fruit, what kind would you be?
I once saw someone say that being aroace was like being fruity in the same way a tomato is a fruit. I loved it. I’m a tomato.
49. what saying or quote do you live by?
I don’t think I have a specific one tbh
50. what made you laugh the hardest you ever have?
Unus Annus. SO many of those videos left me in tears. One I remember particularly well is The Pink Trombone; that was definitely among the top ten that made me laugh the hardest
I’m not sure… probably a font that’s simple, not distracting, but sort of soft and friendly too. casual but elegant
53. what is the current state of your hands?
normal??? I guess??? nice and soft because I’ve been using lotion. I never paint my nails but I like to grow them out a little bit, because it’s useful. right now they’re all mostly the same length, which is nice, but probably won’t last more than 48 hours before one of them gets chipped somehow and I have to cut it back
54. what did you learn from your first job?
maybe that I’m better at interacting with other people than I thought I was? not by a lot, but still more than I realized
I used to really like Cinderella as a kid, but that was just because I thought her blue dress was pretty.
My younger sibling and I came up with a great Christmas tradition a couple years ago. Around mid-December, we’ll each steal something from each other. The best options are things you probably won’t notice are missing at first, so you spend several days anxiously looking around your room trying to figure out what they took. we wrap our respective stolen goods, put them under the tree, and come Christmas Day, the gift is that The Thing Isn’t Stolen Anymore. It’s great.
57. the three biggest struggles you’ve overcome?
I was dealing with a lot of health anxiety a couple years ago, and with meds I’ve been able to move past it, which has been great. uhh what else. being scared of going to the doctor’s/dentist’s I guess??? It was really really bad when I was younger, and I certainly don’t like going now, but it’s tolerable, and if you’d told 12 yr old me that one day she’d be voluntarily driving over to the pharmacy to get a flu shot without worrying about it, she would not have believed you. The last one I’m still in the process of overcoming - all my executive dysfunction issues.
58. four talents you’re proud of having?
oh god what even are my talents. I’m decently flexible? I’m good at finding and catching small critters. I’m pretty good at picking up most mediums of art when I try them for the first time - obviously not great, but I can generally make things look nice and find ways to be creative within any given medium. I’ve gotten pretty good at playing Another Day In Hometown from Deltarune on the old, shitty little piano mobile app I have on my phone lol
59. if you were a video game character, what would your catchphrase be?
for this one I have absolutely no clue. I don’t say enough things to have a catchphrase lol
60. if you were a character in an anime, what kind of anime would you want it to be?
Isekai!! Get me outta here and put me in a cool fictional world!!
61. favorite line you heard from a book/movie/tv show/etc.?
Honestly I’m not really one to fixate on and remember specific quotes, so I’m not sure… a decent enough answer might be “I looked at him and I saw myself” from HTTYD. It works as a pretty good thesis statement for the whole film, which I think is cool. But also, TMA is chock full of a frankly shocking number of HILARIOUS lines. “It is remarkably easy to buy an axe in central London”, in context, is one of the funniest single lines ever written
62. seven characters you relate to?
Hm. This question made me realize that, while there are a LOT of characters I go feral over, I don’t know if I really relate to many of them, at least not in more than only a couple small and overly specific ways. I’ll try my best though: Sal from Sally Face, Rose from Doctor Who, Martin from TMA, Pomni from TADC, Toothless from HTTYD, Kris from Deltarune, and Will from Stranger Things
63. five songs that would play in your club?
See #28, five songs to describe you. If those don’t count as club music, then idk, probably just an assortment of early 2010s pop songs - I have a lot of fond nostalgia for them.
64. favorite website from your childhood?
There were a lot of random web games I loved. I remember Starfall, Boowa & Kwala, The Fungooms, that old MMO game McDonald’s released for some reason, The Cbeebies flash games…
A small scar along the bridge of my nose. I was very very young, like two or three, fell off the bed, and hit my face on the corner of a dresser or something on the way down. I had to get stitches. I don’t remember any of it. Also acne scars and a number of other random small injuries that I don’t recall.
Lilacs are pretty and smell amazing. But I think if I sat down and devoted an afternoon to really thinking and researching, I’d find a different flower to dub my actual favorite
I still have the tickets from the first time I saw HTTYD in 2010. I keep them in a special box on my shelf. god, how many times will I bring up this movie over the course of this post?
68. worst flavor of any food or drink you’ve ever tried?
any cinnamon flavored candy. cherry and banana flavoring is also awful
69. a fun fact that you don’t know how you learned?
I mean I know how I learned it, but it’s still a fun fact. humans visited the deepest point in the ocean for the very first time, the bottom of the Mariana Trench, on the same day as my birthday!
70. left or right handed?
71. least favorite pattern?
I don’t know if I spend enough time thinking about patterns to have a least favorite queued up and ready to go… anything too overcomplicated and gaudy I guess?
probably math. or english - not because I’m a bad writer or reader or anything, just because I find it very hard to make myself do either when it’s not for pleasure
73. favorite weird flavor combo?
I like pb&j on a rolled up tortilla. is that weird enough? also, whenever I get a fountain drink at one of those restaurants with the self-serve soft drink machine that only has one spout and a screen with a million options, I combine every single flavor of lemonade to make a sort of vaguely fruity abomination
74. at what pain level out of ten (1 through 10) do you have to be at before you take an advil or ibuprofen?
maybe 4? when the headache or whatever it is has persisted for over an hour and I haven’t been able to ignore it
75. when did you lose your first tooth?
no clue lol. whatever the normal age is
76. what’s your favorite potato food (i.e. tater tots, baked potatoes, fries, chips, etc.)?
77. best plant to grow on a windowsill?
I don’t really grow plants, I’m not sure… something hardy and difficult to kill I guess
78. coffee from a gas station or sushi from a grocery store?
I don’t drink coffee and I don’t eat sushi so neither LMAO
79. which looks better, your school id photo or your driver’s license photo?
school ID, but not by much
80. earth tones or jewel tones?
81. fireflies or lightning bugs?
lightning bugs!!! on a similar note, pillbugs and not roly-polies
84. podcasts or talk radio?
84. barbie or polly pocket?
85. fairy tales or mythology?
oh okay we’re getting serious suddenly. I mean there are plenty of things I’m afraid of… one of them would probably be disappointing people? feeling embarrassed and incompetent and inadequate and judged.
hm… being able to be, externally, the person I feel I am internally.
89. who would you put before everyone else?
no clue. I think this is like one of the most difficult and complicated questions you could possibly ask a person lol
all the times I’ve dropped my poor phone onto fatally hard surfaces and it still hasn’t broken. I once accidentally flung it down the stairs
??? for what purpose?? I feel like context is important here. what kind of boxes. what kind of bags. I don’t know.
92. lamps, overhead lights, sunlight or fairy lights?
overhead lights and sunlight
nah I don’t really have any
I feel like my answer is always changing. I have different reasons for liking all of them. maybe spring.
95. favorite app on your phone?
other than the games I have, I’d probably say LizardBox. Really cool app for tracking your reptiles/amphibians. their feedings, water changes, sheds, medications, vet visits, UV bulb changes, etc etc etc. it’s just very fun that something this specific exists, and solves an extremely niche problem I have. I just wish it had graphs / some kind of data visualization
Unus Annus fanart. The two of them sitting side by side on a hill, their backs turned to us, looking out at the sky
97. how many phone numbers do you have memorized?
just two, my own and my mom’s
98. favorite historical era?
uhhhhh. does like. the permian period count
I’m adding two extras to make it an even 100 because why just stop at 98???
Will/Mike from Stranger Things, Rose/Doctor from Doctor Who, Jon/Martin from TMA, Crowley/Aziraphale from Good Omens, Ballister/Ambrosius from Nimona, and Nick/Charlie from Heartstopper. wait is that it? I really thought there were more wtf
100. if you could shapeshift into one animal at will, what would it be?
Giant Golden-Crowned Flying Fox!!!! Let me be the biggest bat in the world!!! Closest thing you can get to being a dragon!!! I want to fly!!!!!
That took a million years but it was fun lol. @arcsin27 @beaneske @chipscrumbs and anyone else who sees this, if y'all want to give it a try please feel free. But also DO NOT feel pressured to, it’s very long XD
