Aw thank you!! I very much appreciate this :)

I AM SCREAMING 10/10 THIS IS THE REALEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN WHY IS THIS NOT MY TUMBLR BIO

omg thanks

that would be enough: what is your idea of happiness?

God this is tricky and also very relevant. I’m honestly gonna say that I’m not sure anymore?

I think there’s a contentment that comes with it, but I’m also aware that contentment is contentious especially with mental illness making it really hard. Maybe satisfaction is a better word, but even then, you can be satisfied without being happy, you know?

I think there’s maybe a calmness to it. An ease about it as if you can just...be, as much as possible.

That’s concerning happiness as an achievable thing for me. I think as a theoretical concept, I see happiness as being powerful and a really intense form of resistance in some ways, and I don’t really agree with the idea that “ignorance is bliss” because I believe that happiness is being able to stare the world in the face and feel okay.

So maybe that’s what happiness is.

Aw! This is sweet. Okay

1. A good game of Overwatch where I do well and don’t get misgendered

2. My QP (@ivesubsided)

3. The feeling of being finished your homework for the week

4. Chocolate cake

5. Getting to spend time with my friends

1.Warm spring morning or crisp autumn afternoon?

Warm spring morning, absolutely. I love the sun and I love when it’s warm but not too hot that’s like ideal for me.

2. Hiking in the mountains or spelunking in caves?

Being disabled lmao but like theoretically hiking in the mountains because spelunking in caves sounds scary as heck and also I love the view from atop a mountain (fun fact: I go to school on a small mountain).

3. The ocean with gentle waves or a quiet brook in the forest?

Quiet brook in the forest because I am a forest gay and also the ocean often has sand beside it and listen to Anakin Skywalker kids sand is bad.

4. Endless rolling hills or a giant forest?

A giant forest, because, as just mentioned, I am a forest gay and while hills are dece giant forests look cool as shit especially if the trees are really big

5. The aurora borealis or rainbows?

Am I a bad gay if I say aurora borealis over rainbows? Well, I have to. Aurora borealis wins because it’s something I’ve always wanted to see and I’ve seen many pictures of and I can’t even begin to imagine how cool it must look in person.

6. The rain or the snow?

Snow. I know what you’re thinking, “but Brianna, it’s so much harder to get around in snow than it is in rain!” Well listen trying to use a cane in the rain is awful because you just end up with no hands because one is holding an umbrella and the other is holding the cane, so either way I’m fucked. And snow looks nicer and makes me think of Christmas and winter and shit so it wins. I hate rain. Why do I live in Vancouver

7. Comfort of the light or seclusion of the dark?

Comfort of the light because I do not like being secluded and I’m a bit scared of the dark. Wait does this make me a Paladin

8. Birds singing in the morning or cicadas singing in the noon?

Birds singing in the morning. Cicadas are annoying and I always feel proud of myself when I manage to wake up early enough to hear the birds sing.

9. Secluded cafe or bustling mall?

I WANT BOTH OKAY UM I’ll say bustling mall cause cafes aren’t that fun unless you’re with someone and I love shopping.

10. The scent of a bakery shop or the scent of a pizzeria?

PIZZERIA BUT ALSO BOTH GIMME BOTH YUM

11. Constant change or stay the same?

Constant change, because I can’t stay the same. I just can’t, I’ve tried and it just doesn’t get to happen.

12. Homebody or adventurer?

Homebody because disability, anxiety and school, but man being an adventurer would be great if those things didn’t exist.

13. One close friend or many casual friends?

One close friend. I need that. I also love having many casual friends but I just can’t get by without people really close to me.

14. Puppies or Kitties?

PUPPIES HOW IS THIS EVEN A QUESTION PUPPIES ARE LITERALLY PERFECT.

EAT MY ASS CHARLIE JUST BECAUSE HE MAY HAVE POSSIBLY /POSSIBLY/ SLEPT WITH HIS HALF SISTER IT DOESN’T MEAN I SHOULD BE SHAMED FOR ENJOYING HIS POETRY AND PERSONA.

Anyway I like Lord Byron because his poetry is gorgeous and full of humour and meat and cleverness and it is extremely impressive. Plus, he was so extra and charismatic and so so queer. Also mentally ill and disabled, which is cool. Basically, I guarantee he’s the sort of person who would pose every time he walked into a room, and I don’t know about you, but that’s exactly what I like in a person.

I’m gonna get a tattoo of a Byron quote just to annoy you.

Oh my goodness, cool question. Okay there are so many characters I’d want to play in Hamilton but obviously I’m super white so I never could really. In an alternative universe in which I wasn’t white, Lafayette/Jefferson would be the absolute most fun in the entire world.

I would actually fucking love to play Eponine from Les Mis in a broadway production. I would never have the range for her (though most of the notes in On My Own aren’t actually too far gone for me) but if I theoretically could she’d be awesome. Also imo her character could totally be played by a trans girl and add another level of depth to her and I need that.

Oh lovely! Alright there are so many trans moments from my youth I could use but I’m gonna challenge myself and go for something different.

Okay so when I was little I played baseball for like 8 years. But like, I was super bad at baseball. Like, I could hardly ever catch anything, throw well, or hit anything. But in my last year of playing I actually improved a ton. I stopped being afraid of the ball (lil me was wimpy and scared of pain), I had a lot better hand eye coordination (not great but good) and I was on a team I worked really well with. In general, we did really well and ended up getting first in the league that year. 

In one game of that season, I shocked everyone (especially myself) by not only getting a hit, but getting a hit that flew out to the outfield. I’m pretty sure I even turned it to a run. And everyone was super proud of me, my dad, the coaches, the other players. It was super great. 

Then, at the end of the year, they were giving out the awards, and I ended up getting the most improved player award, which was incredible because I’d never gotten anything more than a participation ribbon in any sport up to that point. It ended up being a baseball which every other member of the team had signed, and it was incredible. I actually still have it and keep it on my dresser, even though I’ve not really talked to many of those team members after like high school.

Anyway, that’s my cute story with bonus embarrassing dorky non-athletic tiny bri trying to do sports (which I never really liked until I found curling. Yeah, I’m a dork.)
