aw this is such a great question. my tumblr icon is a piece of art that, according to the metadata, I saved over 20 years ago and has migrated with me across multiple laptops, and hard drives and life events, hah. Way back in the day I had been obsessed with tarot decks and fantasy art and was saving everything I could find that was Brian Froud or reminiscent of Brian Froud's style or type of faeries. I've cycled through a few of these images as my longstanding icons (though I always made room for fannish icons and was an avid LJ icon maker back in the day)

I have always wanted my icons to give off that strange faery vibe. sometimes more approachable than others. usually twinkling with mischief in some way. this image file was labelled "xc.bmp" - bitmap file. Microsoft image file. old file. two other faces of kuwdora around the internet: green face (original file name: allergy fae.gif) and pooka face:

In case during an emergency I wouldn't have my phone or my e-reader, I knew I wanted to have something to read on hand. What did I pick?

The books: Star Trek The Final Reflection by John M. Ford. And a pocket-sized book of John Keats poetry that I've definitely carried with me through 6 apartments in 2 cities for the last 15 years.

Hello, I have managed to wrangle a few brain cells together for a meme! Tagged by @andordean

Three ships: I still live and breathe everything about The Witcher. So every combination of Geralt/Yen/Jaskier is my jam. I’ve also adored rare pairs going all the way back to Stargate Atlantis, so rare pairs are definitely my cuppa. And Witcher fandom has so many!! I mean definitely glom onto the Grumpy One/Sunshine One in pretty much every fandom and I even made a vid about it (New Best Friend). But in the end I can’t just have one type of ship. I want it all. Om nom nom, my fannish buffet. Give me slash, give me femslash, show me your character studies and crack and joy with all the tropes and characters. Most of my witcher friends know I make the rounds everywhere. 😍

Last song: Rasputin by Boney M because I rewatched this Bucky Barnes Rasputin fanvid and now I’m earwormed for the next month.

Last movie: uhh, probably Blade 2 because I rewatched for my Blade vid WIP. I love it a lot and had forgotten so much about it since I hadn’t rewatched it as much as the first film.

Currently reading: Spin State by Chris Moriarty even though I haven’t touched the book in 2 months. I also have 12,000 witcher fic tabs open and keep bouncing off because my brain is parsing only very short things right now.

Currently watching: Picard, The Last of Us, Crazy Delicious, Piñata Masters.

Currently consuming: Coffee and yogurt.

Currently craving: Food-wise I would love some kind of mac and cheese with some very rich cheese combination. But big picture life cravings? I need this emotional ulcer to go away. I want to feel like I can breathe and see a little more clearly again. I have a final interview that was FINALLY scheduled for the end of this week. It’s been two long months (on top of many more months) of so many interviews, professional calls, social anxiety, and fatigue. I am tired of forgetting things because I’m hyperfocused on job stuff and its so hard to turn it off. I’m tired of having to push down the imposter syndrome again and again. I am so tired and anxious. I would like to be done and start this new chapter of my life, please.
