k. she/they. unkillable ancient fandom cryptid. thirty-something. assigned clown at birth. stab scene intimacy coordinator. kind of an asshole but narratively a delight; secretly actually nice. former archdiocesan hole pic expert (long story but feel free to ask). more than likely your mutual's favourite mutual.

01. a song that makes you want to fall in love — the saccharine answer, if i am allowed include pieces and not songs which require words, is sibelius' symphony number 2 in D major, fourth movement; the genuine answer because it is truly the most romantic lyric in history to me, is cupid's chokehold by gym class heroes cos when travie mccoy hits the "if i hadda choose her or the sun i'd be one nocturnal son of a gun" i feel that

02. your favourite pump up song — control (juno remix) by traci lords. yes, that traci lords. this music is literally video game music when you're losing to the big boss but you just hit a booster chest

03. your favourite song to rock out to — dare by gorillaz. honestly anything from demon days or plastic beach

04. a song that reminds you of summer — simon says by pharoahe monch because what's more summery than wearing a suit and a tank top with crocodile skin winkle pickers, smoking, and drinking a coke with a straw in your villainous lair on a cliffside with a seaview?

05. your favourite cover of a song — tame impala's version of edwyn collins' girl like you or whatever gerard way put into his cover of happy together by the turtles

06. a song you sing in the shower — been singing a lot of james taylor in the shower recently, predominately handyman but also marvin gaye's got to give it up

07. a song that reminds you of someone — the call by backstreet boys because christine's husband, alan, had never seen the music video before and his zooted little brain could not handle when one backstreet boy would disappear off screen and the next would take their place. they were all cheating on that girl, collectively

08. what you want your wedding song to be — i do not want to get married, i do not want another person in my home but if a person managed to convince me, we're doing the whole moses supposes routine from singin' in the rain, i'm donald o'connor, and that head table is getting wrecked

09. your favourite 90s/2000s song — black coffee by all saints cos when that four part harmony hits! hell yeah

10. a song to heal a heartbreak — if you're going through it you need to put on something like not like us by kendrick, blue monday by new order, or hush by deep purple and get on with it

11. your favourite song from a girl group — WAP by cardi and meg and y'all can fight me to fuck cos it counts; i shan't hear otherwise

12. a song you know all the lyrics to — melodia by jimmy fontana despite neither speaking italian nor knowing entirely what jimmy's singing

13. your favourite oldies rock song — my momma raised me right and the only correct answer to this query is all along the watchtower by jimi hendrix

14. a song by your favourite artist — daytona sand by orville peck cos there's something so sweet in how he spells out mississippi at the end

15. a song that you like to fall asleep to — last night i fell asleep to between me and you by brandon flowers and was jolted into the morning by the bravery's honest mistake hours later with no idea what happened in between (iykyk)

16. a song that makes you feel invincible — sinnerman by nina simone, who my tiny pastel calico girl cat is named after for this reason

17. a song that makes you feel better when you’re down — pure/honey by beyoncé cos she's right, it should cost a billion to look this cunty (i say sitting here like robert redford in 1974; i look like i own horses)

18. your favorite holiday song — which holiday? i'mma hit this with last christmas by wham! and toddle onto the next query

19. a song that is from a genre of music you don’t usually listen to — now this is an unfair question cos i genuinely listen to everything - mongolian throat singing, trash "i've got a truck and a wife" modern country, french chanson, big bands, house, melancholy ukelele covers of upbeat 80s songs, icelandic chanting so . . . can i just name another song? i won't actually cos anything i write down someone will think i don't listen to this genre usually and i will not slander anyone like that

20. a song you associate with your favorite book — bolero by maurice ravel is the perfect musical accompaniment to the count of monte cristo, the heightening volume as it rises carefully to the climax
