I was tagged by @lxncelotâ, thank you so much for the tag! this sounds like a lot of fun and I loved reading your answers.
fave genre? rock in its broadest definition (so like, anything ranging from hard rock to pop rock to alternative ballads). I also listen to a lot of pop!
fave artist? all time low! but ~historically~ Iâve always been very into 5 seconds of summer (less so now, though I still listen to their older stuff) and twenty one pilots. as for solo artists, my favorite is probably rosalĂa though I also enjoy halsey. i was your, how do you call it? local 2015 emo kid. just look at my top albums of 2017 - outrageous.
fave song? my go-to answer for this is she will be loved by maroon 5 because I am đ«a softieđ«. I think nowadays itâs my favorite song more so out of habit and nostalgia than for the actual song, but it still means the world to me.
most listened song recently? according to spotify, dinero by trinidad cardona. tiktok has won this one, folks đ according to last.fm, el tango de roxanne from moulin rouge (broadway version). which I find much more likely, but you never know.
song currently stuck in your head? none! though Iâm listening to the piano version of once upon a december thatâs on my desktop music player on here, so Iâll inevitably get it stuck in my head later.
5 fave lyrics? I have a note on my phone for that lol
âYouâre dripping like a saturated sunrise / Youâre spilling like an overflowing sink / Youâre ripped at every edge but youâre a masterpiece / and now youâre tearing through the pages and the ink.â Halsey, Colors
âBegin with bullet, now add fire to the proof / But Iâm still not sure if fearâs a rival or close relative to truth.â twenty one pilots, Bandito
âFools said I, you do not know silence like a cancer grows / heed my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you / but my words like silent raindrops fell / and echoed in the wells of silence.â Simon & Garfunkel, The Sound of Silence and generally the entirety of that song because how beautifully is it, seriously?
âHow can I sleep at night, thereâs a war inside my head / I found a lion hidden right beneath my bed / I will not hide myself from the tears that you have shed /Â âCause I am a lion and you are dead.â Hollywood Undead, Lion and, once again, the entirety of that song
âI am not afraid to keep on living / I am not afraid to walk this world alone.â My Chemical Romance, Famous Last Words because I think that is the simplest yet hardest and most powerful thing you could ever say

fave genre? historical fiction, with fantasy as a close second (historical fantasy? you ask, to which I answer YES A HUNDRED TIMES YES.)
fave writer? if weâre counting classics and deceased authors, Antoine de Saint-ExupĂ©ry, without a doubt. if we only mean contemporary writers, then Leigh Bardugo.
fave book? Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-ExupĂ©ry (Terre des Hommes being its original title). a lot of books have marked my soul, but this once was more than that - it bathed my every bone in the dawnâs first light and sent singing magic spiraling down beneath my flesh. itâs entirely subjective, because itâs not a literal gift from God of a book, but... it meant a lot to me.
fave book series? the Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo, and The Illuminae Files by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman
comfort book? harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban... yes I AM nine years old
perfect book to read on a rainy day? something atmospheric, preferably spooky with some gothic elements! Iâve been wanting to read Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia forever and I feel like it would work well with that ambience. also, Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, which I have on my shelves but havenât read yet! saving all of these for october so I can really get in the mood.
fave characters? disgusting of you to ask, but Nina Zenik & Matthias Helvar from SoC, Remus Lupin & Sirius Black from HP, Leo Valdez & Hazel Levesque from PJO.
5 quotes from your fave book that you know by heart?
suddenly I can only remember bits from assigned readings for school and I hate myself
âI solemnly swear that I am up to no good.â Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
âTo the glistening eastern sea, I give you Queen Lucy the Valiant. To the great western woods, King Edmund the Just. To the radiant southern sun, Queen Susan the Gentle. And to the clear northern skies, I give you King Peter the Magnificent. Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia.â The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
âYou arenât a flower, youâre every blossom in the world blooming at once. Youâre a tidal wave. Youâre a stampede. Youâre overwhelming.â && âCurse you and all your Saints,â he said to no one at all, then realized he was smiling. Crooked Kingdom
âMany years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano BuendĂa was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.â One Hundred Years of Solitude
and the entire two-page death scene of this one character in Joseph Kesselâs The Crew that I had to read in 9th and 11th grade for lit class and I had to write a commentary on that death scene, an assignment I keep on me at all times in a folder and itâs genuinely the death scene that made me the most upset in my entire life but itâs written so magnificently itâs a literal apotheosis and I wonât give you all of it but it ends with âAnd into tender death the captain entered living stillâ and I havenât been the same since the day I read that

fave tv/movie genre? honestly I dabble with pretty much anything? Iâd say my favorites are period dramas and thrillers, but I can pretty much watch anything. i used to love dystopias and science-fiction so much, but that was a... dark age of my life.
fave movie? I cannot choose to save my life, and Iâve seen very few movies, but I typically say Coco, Dunkirk, or Prisoner of Azkaban. Also really love Jurassic Park <3
comfort movie? every single Disney classic ever but particularly Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, and Tangled; PoA, obviously; Jurassic Park and Raiders of the Lost Ark; The Princess Bride (which btw I might have gasped out loud reading your tags, Olive, lol).
most rewatched tv show? I donât even watch tv shows all the way through in the first place, so rewatching them,,,,, probably Los Misterios de Laura tbfh it was this Spanish murder mystery show that I used to watch religiously when I was a kid, and then they sold the TV rights to some American channel and that was my first heartbreak. that one episode where they investigated this murder in this supposedly haunted boarding school? could not sleep for days after watching it lol
5 fave characters? itâs difficult not to repeat characters Iâve already mentioned in the books category because many shows I know are adaptations, but... alina starkov from shadow and bone, eleanor crain from the haunting of hill house, sansa stark & jaime lannister from game of thrones, and christian from moulin rouge.
