current favorite book/show/movie:

book, probably andy weir's project hail mary or grace lin's where the mountain meets the moon.

show, probably high potential based on recency, though i love (and miss) the owl house dearly

for movies, it's a tie between everything everywhere all at once and mamma mia. though i have to add honorable mentions of project hail mary, homeward bound, and the half of it.

last thing you hyperfixated on: i take exclusive terms very seriously so until i'm diagnosed, i don't have hyperfixations. recently, i've been mostly into genshin, project sekai, and project hail mary.

current job/occupation: i'm not formally employed at the moment, though i'm going to be on the lookout for a part time summer job soon. currently, all of my money is made by helping neighbors out with pets/gardens while they're out on vacation. (thankfully, i have kind and generous neighbors that pay pretty well for me to do so- usually a couple hundred dollars for 1-2 weeks, 1-3 hours a day)

no pressure tags:

@moth-mai @silly-space-dad @n00tuz @silvermoonisreallybored

These are a bunch of random-ass questions but I want to get to know all my mutuals better so here goes! Here’s my answers, to start:

Signature heart emoji: 💛 but sometimes 🫶

Favorite color combo: blue and gold (which refers to the spectrums of green to ultramarine and yellow to golden brown) (they just scratch my brain right when they’re next to each other)

Go-to snack: sandwiches comprised of turkey, pepper jack cheese, apricot jam and spicy mayo

Childhood comfort show: gotta go with Star Wars: The Clone Wars (I was so hyperfixated on it that I can now recite entire episodes), although I was also really into phineas and ferb and basically anything on pbs kids (odd squad and wildkratts to name a few)

That One Book Series™️ that you read at a seminal age and are now soul-bound to: Ranger’s Apprentice, Warrior Cats, and Wings of Fire were my holy trinity

Favorite flower: crocuses!! they bring a huge smile to my face when they first appear in mid-march, and they’re so pretty!!

Favorite literary device: chekhov’s gun. i fucking love chekhov’s gun. if i could marry a literary device then there is no other that i would want to meet at the altar.

Join in!

Signature heart emoji: 💚 or <3

Favourite colour combo: red and black is such a classic forever

Go-to snack: granola bars or apples

Childhood comfort show: uhh probably the once upon a time tv show, at least the first few seasons. tween me was obsessed

That One Book Series: Oh the Eragon series 100%. I went insane.

Favourite flower: look man roses are popular for a reason and that is because they are gorg. I love them

Favourite literary device: yeah foreshadowing is just so fun when it's done well

Signature heart emoji: probably 💖 but I use a range depending on the circumstance

Favourite colour combo: orange and green (specifically a nice burnt orange with a dark forest green)

Go-to snack: muesli bars, crackers, or fruit (especially apples, passionfruit, nectarines, or plums)

Childhood comfort show: Octonauts (earlier childhood), or Star Trek: The Next Generation (slightly later childhood)

That One Book Series: Wings of Fire and also Wolves of the Beyond

Favourite flower: idk but I really love passion flowers

Favourite literary device: I’ve never really thought about it but yeah foreshadowing is really cool, especially when you read it for the second time and pick up on all the hints

Color combos: not sure if I have favorites… as a child I always loved purple and gold, but recently I’ve been loving red and teal/cyan. Both when they’re really vibrant, but especially when they’re kinda more muted

Go to snack: pretzels, any form of pretzel. Regular, those pretzel chips, and, my love, chocolate pretzels. I literally have a bag of them right next to me

Childhood comfort show: I never really watched any tv shows as a kid… I was much more of a reader. I only started actually watching shows into my teen years, and none of the really stick with me. Maybe Phineas and Ferb? Not sure

That one book series: oh gosh how do I choose….. there were so many…. I think I need to go with Wings of Fire as well though. I reread Moon Rising so many times, I think it’s part of the reason my username is SilverMoon

Favorite flower: I’ve never thought of this before! First thought was hydrangeas, but I tend to associate those with my mother.. I’m just going to go with nightshade because it was like the 4th thing I thought of and I think they’re purple

Favorite literary device: gotta be the humble metaphor, I know it’s kinda basic but I just Love a good metaphor

favorite flower: orchids !

Rules: make a poll with five of your all-time favourite characters and then tag five people to do the same. See which character is everyone's favourite.

Help it was so hard to pick I was looking around my room for all of my interests and I felt like that “dear god it’s all mario” image but wiyh Chonny jash

out of these 5 please!

Drawing a blank fr, I can only access thoughts about my current hyperfixation and everything else is ‘I think I liked this character?’ Update: remembering my blorbos from every fandom and now I’m having trouble choosing lol

So here goes (this took me a while to come up with lol)

Yay!!!!! Tag time

@cosmicariaa @mostlyvoid-partiallyturtles @penderbend @bifrostworms @nicklink4 @nibbsbutcooler @sentientgoop @moxxi-tycen @femboycertified @eightrats86810 @kulikum @wyvernq @amaritheartist @amethystultrakill @pagethepunk

@any of my other swarmites I missed @eggs who doesn’t exist @anyone who wants to join!

The last fictional character in your photo library, is the person you gonna sit next to in a 8 hour flight!

OHHH EMU?? Not bad

Does my oc count? She'd be alright to sit next to...

Yes this is another magma drawing

ooh. this can either go great or horribly. dawn from ISAT Overkill AU

*pokes these people* !!

MIRABELLE!!!! This… is to be expected tbh….

Honestly! This would be a pretty nice flight! She’d 100% be down to chat if we wanted, but would also leave me be if I needed!!! This would be rather pleasant!

@nibbsbutcooler @mostlyvoid-partiallyturtles @cosmicariaa @wyvernq @pagethepunk @eightrats86810 @amethystultrakill @nicklink4 @sentientgoop @femboycertified @twohourstoolong @queenofskys5 @kulikum @metropolitankei

The thing is, I have been injesting a remakable little recreational media the last *checks notes* 3 years, so I am aware most of these aren't exactly high media- a lot of them I'm pulling from a while ago, and I've got some memory gaps that make even that hard. If you ask what book I've been into of late I will tell you my Womens, Gender, and Sexuality textbook (it is a good read tho) I don't think OCs are included but I have so many ocs who are women who I would love to tell you about! Please ask!

okok who to tag,,,,,,

@mapleejay @silvermoonisreallybored @moonstimzalol @insanementalchaos @gracebethartacc @coldsodaplasticglass @gehanmaus

It’s not very accurate

Tried to match it more to the bag I carry around with me everywhere as opposed to my school bag

Unforchies, they don’t have the option to bring an embroidery wheel and thread with you :,(. Or yarn and a crochet hook, or any of the other slightly more esoteric crafts I do on the go

@mostlyvoid-partiallyturtles @cosmicariaa @bifrostworms @rook-o-nines

i'm ngl this was NOT very accurate for me

My boy… my boy is 36
