Getting to know your mutuals

Thank you for the tag! ❤️
What's the origin of your blog's title?
Cayde-6 is my favorite Destiny character (shocking,I know) and so I just meshed the acronym Bae (Before Anyone Else) and Cayde's name together.
Cracks knuckles In no particular order: Destiny,(Old School) Disney,(mostly old school)Star Wars (The Mandalorian was fantastic),Elder Scrolls,Tolkien,Firefly, Baldur's Gate 3,Fable,Witcher,Dragon Age,Marvel,Batman,The Mummy,Indiana Jones,Mass Effect,Once Upon a Time,The Legend of Zelda,Back to the Future and almost anything involving Dragons. I really like dragons.
Dang,do we still do ship names?
Captain Swan from Once Upon a Time.
SHAKARIAN (Shepard and Garrus Vakarian otp,Mass Effect "No Shepard without Vakarian".)
Alistair and the Grey Warden (Dragon Age Origins,not sure what the ship name is)
FenHawke (Fenris/Hawke Dragon Age II)
Trevelyan and Cullen (Dragon Age Inquisition)
And every single oc I have with their respective partners. I don't really have ship names for any of them though,and even though my Hunter is probably my most fleshed out oc that I have,it's not like she has a fanbase that can name the ship(s) for me. 😂
(Tae+Cayde?Taelia + Crow? Idk don't judge me, I've never thought that hard about it.Taelia and Crow are both pretty bird themed though... I'm going to have to think about this now aren't I...?)
Blue,Pink,Purple,and Green.
(I know it says "color" as in a singular color,but I do what I want.)
Favorite Game: I've played Skyrim a ridiculous amount of times so probably Skyrim or Ocarina of Time.
Song stuck in your head:Mr.Brightside is usually a safe bet.That song lives rent free in my head for some reason.
(Higher Ground by Imagine Dragons is also in there a lot.)
Weirdest habit/trait:I'll do random impressions/accents sometimes. My friends seem to enjoy it though so that's all that matters to me. Sometimes they join in.❤️
Hobbies:Playing videogames with friends,reading,singing,watching movies. I used to paint and sketch,but I don't really do that anymore...I really should because I miss it,even if it's just for me.
If you could have any job you wish what would it be?
Something that makes me happy. Something involving art of some kind/where I have a creative outlet.✨
Something you're good at:
Opening up to people about stuff that actually matters. Letting myself be vulnerable. So if I've let myself be vulnerable,even just a little around you, congratulations,you somehow started to break the surface of my nearly impenetrable emotional walls,keep chipping away and maybe you'll get somewhere one day. 👈👈😎
Making people laugh and being a good friend. It might not mean much to other people,but I'm proud of that. I know I'm the friend that I would want even though it's not always reciprocated/taken for granted by my friends.
Something you could talk about for hours without off the cuff:
Something you hate:I don't really hate anything...wait...this is ridiculously specific,but Tanlorin's hair in ESO. I can't with that stupid hair. I hate it with a burning passion.It's too modern for me for a High fantasy mmorpg.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
That and when guys act like girls can't/don't know how to play videogames I've had guys literally try to "teach" me things about games I've been playing longer than them. They also knew this when they asked.
I once had a guy ask me if I wanted him to walk me through the entirety (and I do mean the entirety) of BG3 (Hi! Hello! Regular honor mode player here.👋✨) and one asked me if I knew Skyrim had mods and if I knew how to install them. (This was after I told him how I had been playing Skyrim,at the time, for 5+ years.)
Something you collect: Nerd merch. I have a lot of Loki related items and different Funko pops. I also have a Ghost replica that lights up (not to mention a lot of nerd shirts/sweatshirts including a Cayde-6 one.)
I'm not really sure. If I forget anything I must have forgotten it. 😉
(I have a good memory. So not much tbh.)
What's your love language?: Probably all, if we're being honest.
Movie:The Lion King (the original, not the cgi one)
Show:I've watched both Once Upon a Time and Firefly a ridiculous amount of times. Like...I know the dialogue as I'm watching it ridiculous (At least the first season of Once,I didn't memorize all of the seasons 😂).
Favorite food: Probably pizza? 🍕
Favorite animal:I really like Lions,Tigers and Wolves. Owls are my favorite bird.
Are you musical?: I was a theater kid growing up.I was in musicals and talent shows. I sing still. In school I played piano,drums,steel drums, trombone and guitar. Now I mostly use those talents as a bard in RP/videogames.😅 (A friend of mine and I recently watched the d&d movie and when the bard appeared she pointed at the screen and said "It's you!")
Favorite subject in school:English and music both have my heart.❤️
Least favorite subject:Math.
What's your best character trait?: I'm kind and just a really caring,loving person.
Worst character trait: That kindness does not extend to myself most of the time.
If you could change any detail of your day right now,what would it be?
A portal would open to one of my favorite fictional worlds near me.
If you could travel in time,who would you like to meet?
David Bowie,Robin Williams,Bob Ross,Steve Irwin,or for completely unrelated reasons,as of this post,Nathan Fillion about 20 years ago.👀
Recommend one of your favorite fanfics:
I don't really read fanfics that often. My friends send me a lot of their oc lore (one time a friend sent me 34 pages worth),so that.I love reading about my friend's OC's. As always,if anyone has recommendations,feel free to let me know.
I also have writer mutuals on here and I read their stories when I can.❤️
@imonthemoonitsmadeofcheese and @nova-rosa
I think I got all of the questions. I had to copy/paste them individually so I might have missed a couple,if I did,I apologize,it was late when I started doing these. 👀
