if someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?

fuckk me. okay, hmm. well, first you’d have to absorb any and all content about My Man Alex(ander the Great) (<<we’re on a first-name basis) and i’m a huge fucking greco-roman nerd. then you’d listen to lady gaga and system of a down and baroque chamber and miles davis, and watch all of buzzfeed unsolved at LEAST twice. i enjoy classical literature, but then also dark stuff. so besides what i mention below, pick up some Bukowski, some Vonnegut, Up Jumps the Devil by Michael Poore, and as much trashy gay fanfiction as you can consume.

have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?

ah, this is a difficult one. Kerouac is pretty close, along with Richard Siken and a splash of Vonnegut.

list your fandoms and one character from each that you identify with.

i hyperfixate on fandoms, so i’m not currently involved in many?

yuri on ice = otabek altin and yuri plisetsky

the iliad (don’t laugh at me i know i’m awful) = hector

star wars = kylo aka trash son

do you like your name?  is there another name you think would fit you better?

i picked elliott so i mean

do you think of yourself as a human being or a human doing? do you identify yourself by the things you do?

pass

are you religious/spiritual?

first chunk of my life i was raised roman catholic, but i’m not really religious anymore. i do hold some spiritual beliefs, though.

do you care about your ethnicity?

i’m very, very white, but my mother was adopted so now we’re trying to reconnect with the cultural background she never experienced as a child? mainly greek and russian jew, but again i’m just a european mut. white people jokes are so much fun, too.

what musical artists have you most felt connected to over your lifetime?

UGHHH this is so difficult. i like SOAD, but for a while Timber Timbre was my shit. and - this is so nerdy - johann sebastian bach 4ever.

are you an artist?

i try to be. i’m actually in the process of becoming a tattoo apprentice, after i dropped out of art school ;;_;; i recently made an art insta so i’m gonna plug it, too. follow me @homericink ;)

do you have a creed?

“you catch more flies with honey than vinegar”

describe your ideal day.

i wake up early after a good night’s rest. i play with my dogs for a little bit outside, and i read some on the hammock. then i come inside and work on an art project. i get shitty fast food with my friends, and i come home and write until i’m tired. since this is an idea day, my insomnia is gone and i go to bed by midnight and sleep soundly.

dog person or cat person?

dog person! (don’t get me wrong, though. i love kitties, too!) dogs can be total spazzes, full of silly energy and endless amounts of love, and they’re so trusting! i always joke that people have done nothing to deserve dogs, and it’s true. they are so pure and good and all they want is someone to love them?? i like how they’re more hands-on, and you can literally wrestle with them and they’ll smile up at you with a big slobbery grin  ^_^  cats are too similar to people for me - i want to work to be worthy of an animal friend that’s better than me.

inside or outdoors?

outdoors as a concept, inside in practice.

are you a musician?

yep! technically i can play five different instruments, but i have two primary ones: violin and mandolin.

five most influential books over your lifetime.

FUCKKKKKKK ONLY FIVE????? come talk to me about books pls

On the Road by Jack Kerouac

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

Watership Down by Richard Adams

Iliad by Homer

The Devil All the Time by Donald Ray Pollock

if you’d grown up in a different environment, do you think you’d have turned out the same?

not at all, man. situations i was thrust into as a kid definitely shaped who i am, but i’ve made my peace with it.

would you say your tumblr is a fair representation of the “real you”?

“tumblr” me is much more organized than i am in real life. i have comorbid ocd and adhd, which is much easier to manage online than irl. i am a disaster human™

what’s your patronus?

this one is tough. either a billy goat, a black or grizzly bear, or a shark.

which Harry Potter house would you be in? or are you a muggle?

i’m a staunch slytherin!

would you rather be in Middle Earth, Narnia, Hogwarts, or somewhere else?

MIDDLE EARTH!!! every autumn when the leaves start falling, i get the biggest tolkien hard-on and i just. *sighs wistfully*

do you love easily?

i… hm. i form super close, super intense platonic relationships easily, and i’d die for a number of people in my life. but i still don’t understand romantic love? i have a hard time recognizing it in myself.

list the top five things you spend the most time doing, in order.

thinking & pacing, art/music/writing, talking, lying awake in bed from insomnia, smothering my dogs with love.

how often would you want to see your family every year?

i, too, am living with my family now that i’m back from college. and i like certain family members more than others so idk.

have you ever felt like you had a “mind-meld” with someone?

nah

could you live as a hermit?

nah

how would you describe your gender/sexuality?

queer

do you feel like your outside appearance is a fair representation of the “real you”?

i look like a twinky art student with transition lenses, 13 piercings and 2 tattoos so, almost? i also feel like i should have a bar of soap in my mouth at all times

on a scale from 1 to 10, how hard is it for someone to get under your skin?

i’d say like a solid 2. ocd is a bitch like that

three songs that you connect with right now.

On Our Knees - Konoba

Bored - Deftones

I’m Still Here (Jim’s Theme) from the Treasure Planet soundtrack ;;_;;
