TAGS!

2.) Favorite Season - Autumn

3.) Favorite Soup - Tomato soup

4.) Favorite Anime (If you watch anime) - My favorite anime show is Your Lie in April though my favorite anime movie is Spirited Away ^^

5.) Favorite Sport - Cross Country

6.) Favorite Ships - I really like ancient japanese ships simply because of how cool the designs are. They are just menacing and tall and really beautiful. The standard pirate ship is also pretty cool, mainly because I love pirates.

7.) Favorite Holiday - Christmas

8.) Favorite Soft Drink - I love matcha, especially with strawberries ^^

9.) Favorite Sea Creature - Does the Crab-Eating Frog count as it is the only amphibian to be able to tolerate salt water? If not, I really love sea bunnies! :3

10.) Favorite Number - 7 because it kinda looks like a slide.

1.) Favorite Flower - This is always hard to choose. I love roses, lily of the valley, and plumeria a lot though. Also magnolias!

2.) Favorite Season - Spring my beloved 💚🩷

3.) Favorite Soup - Also tomato soup

4.) Favorite Anime (If you watch anime) - FMAB

5.) Favorite Sport - Cross country also! Plus track & field.

6.) Favorite Ships - Oh, an exhaustive list is difficult. Let's go foundational ships and current favs. Foundational: Hiccstrid, Ransom/Prissie from a series no one's ever heard of, Katherine/Nightlight from another series no one's ever heard of except for Auralia although everyone knows the movie on here, Zutara, Chase/Rory from yet another series most people have never heard of (several mutuals have read it though) and Conbeke from one more series no one's ever heard of. Current favs include JinRuth, Athemellia (is that the ship name?), Kaylin/Severn from Elantra, TwiYor and Damianya, and Polivia.

7.) Favorite Holiday - Easter

8.) Favorite Soft Drink - Give me a good berry lemonade and I'm a happy camper.

9.) Favorite Sea Creature - I've always loved dolphins

10.) Favorite Number - Either 2 or 5 I think, they just make neat numbers in decimal. Favorite equation is e^iπ+1=0.

1.) Favorite Flower - Yellow roses are an old favorite of mine, but I also like yellow zinnias and yellow freesias. I like yellow flowers a lot because they held meaning in one of my favorite stories I wrote years ago. I also like hyacinths... because, y'know, my oc Hyacinth

2.) Favorite Season - I say autumn but truly any time of year when it is cold and rainy is my favorite-- autumn, winter, spring, even rainy summers!

3.) Favorite Soup - I recently made a garlic potato soup that was tasty!

4.) Favorite Anime (If you watch anime) - FMAB for sure!

5.) Favorite Sport - Due to my tendency to fall on my face, I am not very good at sports. But I enjoy running for fun!

6.) Favorite Ships - I searched my bookshelves to find any romantic ships beside Elizabeth and Darcy from Pride and Prejudice that I'm particularly passionate about, but alas, my search came up empty! My current favorites are Athemellia (Starlight, I don't know what their ship name is either) and JinRuth.

Oh wait, can I say romantic ships in my own books?? Because Raphael and Hyacinth have a great story I could talk forever about (because I'm writing it!). And T & M (not releasing their names to the public yet haha) from my vampire hunting novel have a great romance as well!!

7.) Favorite Holiday - Christmas!!!!

8.) Favorite Soft Drink - I love chocolate milk and lemonade!

9.) Favorite Sea Creature - Generally any kind of whale

10.) Favorite Number - 24 is my favorite, but I'm probably biased because of the Switchfoot song

1.) Favorite Flower - Roses

2.) Favorite Season - Spring and winter are honestly tied. Winter is great when there's snow and it's cold - spring is great when it's vibrant green with flowers and not too warm yet

3.) Favorite Soup - Ham and potato

4.) Favorite Anime (If you watch anime) - I don't 🤷🏻‍♀️

5.) Favorite Sport - I'm not really into many sports. Volleyball is fun, and so is badminton

6.) Favorite Ships - JinRuth and Adrienette

7.) Favorite Holiday - Mmm...Thanksgiving or Valentine's Day. I don't celebrate most holidays. Or maybe New Year

8.) Favorite Soft Drink - Diet Dr Pepper

9.) Favorite Sea Creature - Just one?? If I must - dolphin

10.) Favorite Number - I don't know if I have one, but for some reason 27 is coming to mind

1. Favorite Flower: I love pink roses, magnolias, and a field of goldenrod

2. Favorite Season: Fall/Autumn through New Years

3. Favorite Soup: ...does chili count? If not chili then you can never go wrong with a good vegetable beef soup. Although, to be fair, the only soup I dislike (and even then I still eat it) is chicken noodle because it reminds me of being sick heh

4. Favorite Anime: Death Note

5. Favorite Sport: I have never been athletic, so like... walking trails is fun, but not really sporty. I do love to watch dancing and ice skating/ice dancing though! Beautiful

6. Favorite Ships: The Millennium Falcon (joking). I'm not too much of a shipper (too much discourse) so I usually stick to canon couples. My first ever ship was Obi-Wan and Satine hehe

7. Favorite Holiday: Christmas, gotta be. The Birth of our Savior!

8. Favorite Soft Drink: Coke Zero or a strawberry limeade. I also like Canada Dry gingerales

9. Favorite Sea Creature: does Nessie count? Kelpies? Selkies? If none of those then I guess octopus or sea horses

10. Favorite Number: 7! I like 7 and 5.

favorite flower: toss-up between wisteria and lantanas.

favorite season: summer!

favorite soup: tomato basil.

favorite anime: (indecisive noises) maybe snow white with the red hair?

favorite sport: ultimate frisbee, but casual

favorite ships: not a huge shipper either but i really like twiyor and zadf :D

favorite holiday: it feels unfair to lump in the meaningful holidays with the just-for-fun holidays, so i'm going to say easter for the former and halloween for the latter.

favorite soft drink: dr pepper mixed with a little bit of strawberry fanta.

favorite sea creature: lemon sharks :)

favorite number: 9

1. Favorite flower: Dandelions! (They are not just weeds okay)

2. Favorite season: Summerrrrrr

3. Favorite soup: My mom makes a super yummy tortellini one with an orange (color) broth and oh

4. Favorite anime: the one Shrey likes

5. Favorite sport: ROWING

6. Favorite ships: Petekey :)

7: Favorite holiday: (following Wisti’s logic) Easter and Valentine’s Day

8. Favorite soft drink: *southern accent* rOot BEAR

9. Favorite sea creature: Sealssss

10: Favorite number: 11

its always some bullshit with either White Girl With No Traits Protagonist or the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Cool White Girl Who Swears A Lot Protagonist (who still has no character traits just to be clear). she will inevitably fall in love with some emotionally maladjusted tall brooding guy who treats her like shit but that’s ok because she doesn’t know why she likes him either! don’t worry, the narrative might even justify him being horrid to her

the title will be either “x of y” or “a x of y and z”. fill in the variables yourself. don’t worry, it doesn’t need to be original in any way

everyone will have Cool Edgy Teenager Names with a lot of Zs and Xs in them. maybe even some Qs for real spice. alternatively, they will all be vaguely Celtic names because the author is butchering Irish mythology and she doesn’t really know the difference between Irish and Scottish names or how to spell anything

alternatively, you might have Norse or Greek mythology. those are the only two other options. if it’s those, the setting will lean HARD on that

there are no characters of color. race will not be mentioned a single time actually

if the author is feeling really spicy the Shitty Male Love Interest might not be human. don’t worry, pearl-clutchers at home, he’ll have so few nonhuman traits that it’ll be easy to forget. any sex that happens will either not mention his nonhuman traits at all or make him just turn human for it. also we might get a bit orientalist about it. just for funsies, yk

there might be queer characters. the queer characters you are most likely to see are (never specified AFAB but you the reader can tell) nonbinary people. there will definitely not be trans women. the queer characters will DEFINITELY all be white if there are any characters of color in this book

there might be a magic system. it will definitely be called “magick” and spelled that way

if there are fae or elves, they’ll probably be snooty and slightly racist. our enlightened, noble White Savior Character i mean Cool Protagonist will of course teach them the error of their racist bigoted ways. society won’t change in any meaningful way though
