4: How would you describe your aesthetic?

10: What is your blog type? (Fandom, art hoe, shitpost etc)

13: Do you keep your tumblr secret from people you know in real life?

4. Uplifting emo? Grunge but make it 2003? Middle aged lady without shame?

7. A mix of fandom, shitposts, and desperate cries for attention.

13. Mostly it has just never come up? Nat knows, but he doesn’t care. Most of my friends aren’t fandom people, they think tumblr is dead and I want it to remain that way.

It is, however, weird when a Facebook reshare site posts a screenshot of my blog and people I know like it.

heliotrope; have you ever been in a castle?

lunaria; what’s your favorite fictional universe?

calendula; biggest pet peeve?

sunflower; share a favorite quote.

jasmine: answered

heliotrope: I've been to Beynac, Avignon, Carcassone, and I think some other castles in France and Spain that felt somewhat less castley. (Beynac was exactly what I wanted out of my medieval castles and I spent the entire time annoying my family by staring out windows and daydreaming, Avignon was all right, and Carcassone felt too touristy)

lunaria: Lord of the Rings

calendula: uhhhh. a pet peeve is people who present controversial/nonobvious ideas as if no one in the room could possibly disagree with them because we're not like those people, right? right?

sunflower: it's unfortunately pretty religious but Kipling's Hymn to Breaking Strain is one of those poems I recite under my breath when I'm trying to distract myself from something unpleasant

We only of Creation (0h, luckier bridge and rail) Abide the twin damnation— To fail and know we fail. Yet we - by which sole token We know we once were Gods— Take shame in being broken However great the odds— The burden of the Odds.

3. What do you order at a café?

If I’m at a new place, I usually look for a peppermint mocha, but if that’s not an option, then something with chocolate (with or without coffee) or something with caramel and coffee. I also put a stupid amount of sugar in my coffee, because I’m a baby about bitterness or something. 

4. Libraries, botanical gardens, or art galleries?

GOSH I am with you that the question here is: what is the purpose of going, and will I be alone? I love libraries, but if it’s for a day trip or many hours, then I’m going to pick one of the other ones. My M.O. in libraries is browse until I find things I’d like, then check them out and leave. I don’t really hang out in them unless I’m trying to get work done. If it’s a nice day, botanical gardens or zoos generally work out with a wide variety of people in my party. IFF I have people in my party who will stop and look and not mind when I read Every Bit of Info I Can, then and only THEN would I choose art gallery.

16.  How do you organize your music playlists?

Oh, gosh I feel like this is gonna get me some shit, but I don’t. When you actually used to have to burn CDs, I would order them SO carefully so that all the transitions WORKED and the styles were not JARRING, but these days...I just throw all the songs I want on a list and then play it on shuffle. My playlists are very...utilitarian? Like, I have one of a bunch of instrumentals or choral music in other languages that I use for working/writing, one called ‘school’ that is all school-safe stuff I can play with kids in my room, a running one, a french jams one...and like, that’s about it. Oh, I have a car one, too!! Which is mostly musicals and disney songs. 

okay this is REALLLLY effing hard so i’m copping out and only doing first gen

B - None, really. I’m honestly already a p big multi-shipper that chances are I’m already vaguely shipping something.

3) 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?

5) what made you start your blog?

14) what’s something you’ve always wanted to do but maybe been to scared to do?

3. The Court Jester, which I watch every Christmas. Jurassic Park, which is my comfort movie. Being There, because there's just so much in the language.

5. Everyone was leaving LJ! I believe one or both of @wheremermaidsdwell or @weareallkenough bullied me into it (I am very bullyable) in 2010 (I have been here forever) and my first post was a picture of my cat and the kittens I was fostering and then I didn't post anything between June and December that year. Whoops.

14. Oof. I think probably being in love with someone? There's a lot of baggage tangled up in that answer that doesn't need to be aired in tumblr dot com, but I have a lot of self-esteem baggage and shit that has made romantic relationships very difficult for me, and I'm starting to regret that as I age.

69. What are you looking forward to next week?

62. Where are you on the minimalism-maximalism kinsey scale? 

56. Favorite low-effort meal that you make?

55. Favorite high-effort meal that you make?

48. If you could build your home from scratch, what outrageous feature would you want to build into it?

48: I want a little farmhouse with dormer windows and a central vacuuming system because I am a dork.

55. I love a risotto, I just have to feel up to standing. Bagels are good but they take two days to do right. Anything with seafood is a sometimes dish because I do not feel like cleaning sea creatures 99% of the time.

56. Bag of Caesar salad with dinosaur chicken nuggets. Don’t @ me.

62. I like some clutter, but I don’t understand color or patterns or how they work in space so I tend to just end up with messy surfaces.

69. I mean, I’m on vacation in New York with my 9-year-old nieces. I’m looking forward to not having to manage anyone’s emotions or expectations for 5 minutes. Also I’m about to take a nap that should be deeply rewarding.

1) what crochet project sounds interesting if you had no constraints (time/energy/money)

2) favorite Shakespeare play?

3) 🔥🔥🔥 opinion re: educational theory with special regards to technology

4) if you had to get an exotic pet what would you go for?

5) should the new Baltimore bridge look like a dragon? 🐉

I'm meant to be making a baby blanket for my neighbor, but I haven't been doing it so... that?

I have a soft spot for Richard II because I got to play Bolingbroke on the stage of the Shakespeare Theatre in DC when I was younger. But also, Othello is fascinating to me.

Too many people throw technology for technology's sake at learners without thinking about their audience or their goals. I would be happy to see half the number of devices in education if it meant a more thoughtful application.

Snake. I don't want to have to feed a snake what snakes eat, but I love snakes.

Whatever shape it is, it should match Mr Trash Wheel
