Thank youuuu @fieldsofdreamlesssolitude 🥰 This post got long on the og thread (check it out for some cool character analysis tho!). So, breaking this off for a new post here to save my homepage scroll lol

1. Last song I listened to: The most jmart song to ever jmart, The Fire by Vincent Lima 🥹

2. Song on repeat: I've been listening to a lot of Mon Rovîa lately (an Afro-Appalachian folk singer, one of my fave newly-found artists!). Damn These Forces has been on repeat a lot and I think about Jonathan Sims 😭

3. Characters most similar to me:

Ah. Jonathan Sims, my beloved. Never felt more seen in my specific childhood trauma and how it manifests in all the small, microaggressive ways in my life. That invisible, insidious kind of trauma that makes you relinquish agency in your own life. I relate to his temptation to self-destruction and his dogged tenacity, his depression and his convictions. He is my rock bottom dark fantasy and my catharsis, and he is everything to me.

The Tenth Doctor is the person I aspire to be. His empathy and his unrelenting love shaped who I am. Maybe more than someone similar to me, I guess Ten is the person I want to be real, so I could run away with him and find the courage to express who I am in a world I am so often afraid of.

And finally, Crowley represents the person I am to my soulmate, how we've never known a life without the other and spend our days pondering the mysteries of life together. Crowley's journey away from god is mine, not a dramatic break but "sauntering vaguely downward" to the person I am today.

Honorable mention to Douxie (Trollhunters) and Death (Sandman), my goth/emo/punk aesthetic inspirations. Even if Death comes from a franchise and an author I cannot support anymore, she represents the kind of wisdom, kindness, and hope I want to infuse in my life and stories.

4. First fandom: First protofandom (pre-Internet/community): Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes. First online fandom (livejournal era): Hogan's Heroes. First modern fandom for me (tumblr era), against which I compare all subsequent fandoms: How to Train Your Dragon

5. Reading: Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Rachel Pollack, in preparation for the TMA tarot deck I'm drawing!

6. Country: The one where Jonathan talked to Gerry Keay for the first time 😜

7. Meaning behind URL: Shared this recently in another post, so just linking that here.

8. What shoes I would be: Black Converse high-tops, or chunky black boots (I'm hoping to get my first pair of Dr Martens soon!)

9. Time I went to bed last night: I might have been pushing 3 am, whoops. Got caught up talking with @fieldsofdreamlesssolitude about this video essay about the horrifying sexism on The Last of Us adaptation. Fun times 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠 (/sarc)

last song I listened to : Disco! In the Panic Room by bug hunter

song on repeat : not just one song but the whole of “in case I make it” by will wood (mostly white noise though)

characters most similar to me :

Wagyu (objectified), because I too, am a small bean nobody wants to be friends with who causes problems. Alistair (tales from the fringes) because I chose my name, like to create and build on ideas, I love magic and I like to world build to the max like them

first fandom : it was warrior cats

reading : you weren’t meant to be human by Andrew Joseph white and about to read somewhere beyond the sea by tj klune

country : ‘merica! (Wish it wasn’t though)

meaning of url : name is Martin, like TMA, hc the k in Martin k Blackwood is kartin so made that mine too, then 200 because that was the last episode of TMA and I has just re-listened to it when I made this account.

Shoes : I hate getting new shoes so I would just like my current shoes (green converse that I got used and aren’t made anymore) fixed, or the pride converse with my flags on them

time I went to bed list night : 12:39 am

Last thing I ate: Rice with egg

Childhood Fandom: Warrior cats

Shoes: I wear hiking boots every day and have for the past 3 years

Meaning of my URL: I just like raccoons, and I thought it was cool and it’s stuck. My phone is also named: Raccoon eyes

Reading: a load of fics

State: California

Characters I relate to

•Benji HFWU

•Nick HFWU

•Koro-Sensei(I have generally become an older brother to so many theater kids)

•Jon TMA

•Quifrey WHA

Favorite song: I have a 9 and a half hour playlist of Japanese music and anime openings

I’ll start first: I am actually married. Irl. I have a husband. I know it’s surprising considering the Tumblr spouses, but my husband thinks it’s funny.

@stars-and-sharks @fangirlmenace

@pipatetka-be-cranking @iammentallystable16

and i am doing art and music for gcse

I have a Level 1 qualification in Ballet and I have vasovagal syncope :P

I can sing

I was in my school choir

ALL of my writing is handwritten and then OCR'd into text

He's like, our grandfather's cousin or something, but we've never met him or anything

Probably not of much interested especially since I know he was accused of some not very cool things (not that we ever cared to pay much attention, since again we never interacted with him personally), but it's a fact about us that most people don't know 🤷

@calamity-collective @depressedquetzal @interstellar-espresso @thedeltavessel /nf

I have 8 nieces and nephews, 2 I’ve never met, 1 I only see on Halloween cause they trick or treat at my house.

The oldest two are 11 and 13 and the youngest is only a few months old

The way my family works is like a promotion system, so say you have a cousin who’s going to have a baby, the cousins of said cousin become aunts and uncles, the aunts and uncles become grandparents, and the nieces and nephews become cousins.

ummmm umm.. not about me but about my pets.. ive had two cats and both of them are really big for cats?? like theyre just Large. not fat or anything just like.. big. idk !!!!

Open Tagsssssss

I can't eat too much peanut butter otherwise i get diarrhea and throw up. And I am learning japanese so I can play more unlocalized Otome games, i can actually read almost all hiragana at a glance like english(i just don't know what most of it means lol)

hmm... i don't really know actually... i guess the fact that i naturally have a pretty high caffeine tolerance something a little unpredictable, especially given my username ˙𐃷˙

Something I very rarely talk about here is that i love learning languages! (at least when I'm in the mood for it lol)

I taught myself modern Greek when I was 12 - which helped me when I started learning ancient Greek as well - which is something I find really cool :)

As of now I'm fluent in Italian (native language so obv) and English (C2 level), I can read/understand most French and Spanish, some Greek and Portuguese, plus some general knowledge of German and Swedish

I've also tried getting into slavic languages bc I LOVE the culture but for some reason I cannot learn a thing 😭

But yeah haha

all this in addition to my hyper flexibility and my back being legitimately Built Different (hahaha it’s an inward curve from scoliosis) makes me incredibly flexible in a deeply off-putting way and pretty freaking good at dance

tags!: @yourlocalbadgerscales @lady--hibiscus @sunchasingthestar @raeprise @sweetlittlelizbian @swanboyy @simonsays-begaydocrime

I make my own pins for fandoms I'm in and there's almost always some sort of ink on my skin, either from making said pins or just straight up drawing on myself :)

uhh lets see. did i mention to yall that im proficient in nunchucks

Oh I got one. My mom is pregnant and I'm getting a baby sister

Okay so when I was babeh moonkid (tm) I knew sign language AND THEN LIKE NOW I DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT IT oh and I had 14 things of blood drawn out of me at once when I was like 6 but thats not as cool

Anyways-

IVE NEVER BEEN TO SCHOOL ONCE

I've always been homeschooled (I'm doing online school as of now, but that doesn't count)

So basically, IVE NEVER TRIED SCHOOL LUNCHES, NEVER HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE OF BEING BULLIED, NEVER HAD TO EXPERIENCE GOING TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE, ECT.

Oh also I know things i shouldn't know at my age. (Not telling what it is)

Tagging my slayy bestie :3

Tagging most of my moots to let them know the answer to my April fools joke🐺

Okay so here’s mine.

I always wanted to play like the drums and I remember one time, There’s a set of drums and My Choir Teachers let us play and it my turn, I was a fucking pro! Never taught, but I was a pro like everyone clapped!

I’m also a pro at whistling meaning that I could use my whistling skills to imitate birds chirping or an alarm. but I’m bad at snapping my fingers.

And I’m an actual werewolf, I turn into one when stressed or full moon!

OK! SOMETHING NOBODY KNOWS ABT ME!!!

For some reason I only feel comfortable sleeping on the carpet on the ground cuz the floor is flat

I too like sleeping on the floor more than my bed and I got a role in a play because I was the only one auditioning who could snap their fingers and laugh maniacally.
