OTP(s)/SHIPNAME?

i'm only a shipper when it comes to fiction, but some of my favourite pairings are seungkwan/mingyu, hyunjin/jeongin, changmin/sunwoo and haknyeon/hyunjae (the latter is criminally underrepresented and i am seriously debating contributing to the tag myself.)

FAVORITE COLOR?

i am such an earth tone guy. i love greens (especially darker tones) and browns, and i also love me some baby blue.

FAVORITE GAME?

i'm gonna be so real with you all, i am the furthest from a gamer. i wish i was one of those who relax with a good game, but my brain refuses to play anything other than mario kart.

SONG STUCK IN YOUR HEAD?

vvv by the boyz has been playing on loop in my noggin since its release, it's kinda concerning. my brain also loves to throw random advertisement songs into the mix at the oddest of times though, so these days you'll find an array of norwegian ad jingles in there as well. it's a lot.

WEIRDEST HABIT/TRAIT?

i don't know? i will find a way to throw a vine or song reference into literally anything, does that count?

HOBBIES?

drawing, reading, writing, embroidering, making jewelry and rearranging my enclosure 🙂‍↕️

IF YOU WORK, WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?

i'm in the seemingly never ending process of being considered for disability benefits, and i do a little bit of music journalism and concert photography when i have capacity.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WISH, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

i try not to think too much about it since i usually end up big sad™️. coming to terms with being disabled and having been misdiagnosed for years, and thus trying hard to use exposure therapy, thinking it would heal me, only to have unknowingly made myself sicker for over half my life, is a lot. right now, my goal is to make a life for myself that fits me as i am, not as i wish i was.

SOMETHING YOU'RE GOOD AT?

i think i'm good at making the people i love feel seen and heard. i like creating stuff, and i like learning languages - am i good at it? eh, but it makes me happy.

SOMETHING YOU'RE BAD AT?

treating myself kindly. communicating when things get hard. finding balance between who i am and who i thought i'd be pre disabilities. avoiding burnout. working on all of these, though.

SOMETHING YOU LOVE?

my friends and family, art, animals, spring to name a few.

SOMETHING YOU COULD TALK ABOUT FOR HOURS OFF THE CUFF?

any of my special interests, haha. i feel like music is the topic i tend to talk the most about?

SOMETHING YOU HATE?

if i keep this simple; people who chew with their mouths open.

SOMETHING YOU COLLECT?

trinkets. i love collecting little trinkets, be it small porcelain cats from secondhand shops, rocks, cones fallen from ore trees, art pieces, a dragonfly wing i found on the ground, queue slips with my lucky numbers on them, you name it. i like collecting things that have made my days a little brighter.

SOMETHING YOU FORGET?

things from my childhood. my dad often talks to me about travels we've been on etc, and all i remember are small moments often tied to obscure interests nobody else noticed or remembers. something i don't forget are song lyrics and my favourite childhood movies. i can recite the entirety of garfield, mulan, ice age 3 and so on and so on.

WHAT'S YOUR LOVE LANGUAGE?

acts of service and words of affirmation.

FAVORITE MOVIE/SHOW?

tick tick boom, it (2017) and frozen 2. my brain isn't really interested enough to pay attention to tv, but my roommate watches a lot of shows, and i've taken to excitedly watching fbi with her once a week.

FAVORITE FOOD?

i'm gonna be real, food is weird to my neurodivergent brain and mobilising to cook/eat is hard with my ME, gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance haha.. that being said, i feel like you can't go wrong with tacos?

FAVORITE ANIMAL?

dogs, bumblebees, bears, foxes, bunnies... i'm gonna stop before i list every single animal out there. except mosquitoes. fuck mosquitoes. sincerely, me and my mosquito allergy (yes, it's as ridiculous as it sounds.)

ARE YOU MUSICAL?

i'd say so! i've sung my entire life, i used to play keyboard/piano when i was younger, danced for years and sung in various choirs.

WHAT WERE YOU LIKE AS A CHILD?

looking back, very autistic. i was (and still am) very sensitive, i liked rules and did not understand why others didn't follow them, in general struggled to adjust to people my age. i loved reading and learning about/interacting with my interests, being around animals, listening to music and singing.

FAVORITE SUBJECT AT SCHOOL?

languages, psychology and music.

LEAST FAVORITE SUBJECT?

math and science. i got diagnosed with dyscalculia at the age of twenty-four, I feel like that information would have been very useful earlier.

WHAT'S YOUR BEST CHARACTER TRAIT?

my ability to care deeply. it is a double edged sword, though.

WHAT'S YOUR WORST CHARACTER TRAIT?

maybe my tendency to turn to avoidance whenever i get overwhelmed? and shoutout to my inferiority complex lol.

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ANY DETAIL OF YOUR DAY RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

today has been pretty stable, but if i could change something about my life atm, i'd rather not be suicidal *finger guns with tears in my eyes*.

IF YOU COULD TRAVEL IN TIME, WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET?

I genuinely can't think of anyone?
