For funsies I am tagging two angels @chalkletters and @tronny! 

2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod: I’m really bad at songs questions because my music taste is terrible, i’m just gonna skip these ones

the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep — where they’re not supposed to: on top of a big dusty book, collapsing on Harry/Ron’s shoulder out of pure exhaustion when she’s been working for 20 hours straight, common room window seat

the game they’d destroy everyone else at: SCRABBLE pls

the emoticon they’d use most often: oh she’d be really boring with emoticons, she’d never use them, and when she did it would just be a generic 😊. Or maybe 😺.

what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep: distracted, saying the wrong words and being confused at why her mouth isn’t working right, frazzly-haired

their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever: hmmm is it blasphemy to say she likes earl grey like Draco? Tho obv no sugar

how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump: big cosy jumper, cup of tea and a book she’s read 50 times already

what they wanted to be when they grew up: teacher!

their favourite kind of weather: lovely mild autumn days

thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?): it is horrific.

RDJ had always been kind of an asshole. Evans is still kinda pristine in comparison haha

yeah but I REALLY do not approve of that interviewer or what he did, especially when it was very clear that it wasn’t an approved topic, it was making rdj uncomfortable, rdj tried to deflect it but the guy kept on, and even if any of that were understandable it wasn’t even relevant to anything.  like if rdj did something that required ‘holding his feet to the fire’ or something maybe but this guy was just dredging up his past apropos of nothing.  idk what that guy was thinking but that was incredibly Not Cool

did he apologize?? i looked but i couldn’t find anything

yeah.  I think it’s at the top of the article I linked?  there were two of them in rapid succession unless i’m thinking of a different article i read

Urgh, the ‘sorry you were offended’ apology is such a load of shit. I’m glad Evans apologised wholeheartedly though. And yeah I agree it’s a horrible misreading of her character, especially by 2 people who you’d think would know better!

I know right? also the thing renner said about how she has a fake leg or whatever like wow good job adding being ableist af to the list buddy

black widow is so much more than who she has or hasn’t slept with… makes me angry to think who may have been watching that interview and came away thinking that’s all she is just a romantic love interest

i was so goddamn frustrated.  as if the character didn’t get that shit enough as it is to have co-stars basically validating that opinion and reducing her to just sex it’s like come on guys you should know better you were in the goddamn movies enough people brush the character off anyway without you adding fuel to that fire

Especially cause if anyone’s a slut in the marvel u it’s Stark, Johnny Storm, and Matt Murdock!

god i know right.  I like to think if rdj were in the interview he would’ve called stark out on it tbh

What did he say? I missed that!

said some really shitty stuff about black widow (but of course it is “a joke”)

7) If you could make sweet sweet love to a fictional character, with who would it be? Okay, that sounds really messed up, but whatever.

LOL. Um. As interesting as many of my favourite characters are, I've never thought of them in that context, but if I had to choose... Thursday Next or maybe Shadow (from American Gods). 

14) Have you ever stolen insults from books and used them in real life situations? If so, how did that work out for you?

I probably have, but I can't remember an exact moment. I'm pretty sure it either worked out well because it was done in jest and the recipient knew the reference, or it worked out bad because the recipient didn't understand the reference so I just sounded weird. 

21) Do you like the idea of e-readers/kobos/whatever they’re called or would you rather have the physical book in your hand?

I love both for various reasons, as they each have their own pros and cons.

If I could only have one for the rest of my life I would choose physical books, but my e-reader has become a wonderful asset since I injured my hand and have had trouble holding things. 

28) Have you ever used a book as a coster coaster? How do you even spell that? You guys probably know what I’m talking about anyway.

Yes, but I don't purposely grab a book to use as a barrier between a mug and the table. There just isn't a tabletop or other flat surface in my apartment that isn't covered in books, so it just sort of happens that I put a mug down on a book. 

GAAAH THANK YOU YOU ARE LOVELY!

Hm.

1. I think my eye color is really pretty. They’re light green with bits of gold but sometimes they look grey.

2. I’m becoming a pretty decent cook.

3. I have a super intense love for animals, especially dogs. I’m participating in a walk next month to support a local organization that helps homeless animals.

4. I’ve gotten really disciplined about exercising and being healthy.

oh god ok here i go

The starting lab depends on your location, mine was CERN in Switzerland because I live in the UK :)
