Current Number of Followers: Not the largest but a Very Cool crowd. ;)

When did your blog reach its peak?: I have absolutely no idea. 

It’s a ten minute play that I wrote! I entered it into a competition and it was one of the ones picked to be produced!! Here’s the synopsis:

“A reluctant fiancee meets an unconventional woman at a 1920s garden party.”

waxflower: are you a bee or a butterfly person? a dog or a cat person?

Bees, both except I’m allergic to cats :(

sunflower: would you like to be a fairy or a mermaid?

Mermaid. When I was little I really wanted to be a fairy but then I read a lot of mermaid/ selkie mythology and, yeah, mermaids are cool

dandelion: any special talent that you have?

Apparently taking care of tiny, tiny puppies

Ooh, yes!!

the character i least understand

At the moment, Rumplestiltskin, I’m really annoyed at him

interactions i enjoyed the most

Regina with any of the Charming family (including Emma), it’s just so cool to have seen their relationship dynamic go from enemies to friends/ family

the character who scares me the most

I don’t know that there is a character who scares me. I mean, I’m scared for some of the characters

the character who is mostly like me

Probably Snow/ Mary Margaret, maybe Belle a bit

hottest looks character

I gotta agree about Hook, he is pretty eye catching. Also Belle, she’s super pretty, also Mulan

one thing i dislike about my fave character

I have several favorite characters, I’ll go with Belle: she forgives Rumple too easily, he’s proven that even given really good second (or eighth) chances, he will still be an annoying power hungry ass and yet she still desperately wants to find some good in him 

one thing i like about my hated character

She was an absolutely horrible mother and person but while she didn’t exactly make up for it in the end, she at least gave her daughters their memories back, which is about the only thing she ever did right

a quote or scene that haunts me

Regina realizing that people do believe in her, and that she has come such a long ways (oh please, don’t tell me something happens at the end of the season to endanger her emotional well-being, I’m worried)

a death that left me indifferent

Cora’s was kinda like, well, bye then

a character i wish died but didn’t

I can’t think of any

my ship that never sailed

Mulan/ Aurora (I am so happy about wolfie/ kansas, though!!) 

I was tagged by: @blogofimpossiblethings (thanks, dear!)

I’m choosing: Regina Spektor

What is your gender? Lady

Describe yourself? Small Town Moon

How do you feel? One More Time With Feeling

If you could go anywhere? Another Town

Favorite mode of transportation? All The Rowboats

Your best friend? Laughing With

Favorite time of day? (couldn’t find one for this)

If your life was a TV show? How

Relationship status? 20 Years of Snow

Your fear? The Calculation

the character i least understand

Dumbledore. Ok, I can get why he did a lot of what he did, but the way he did some things really complicated issues and wasn’t the best for Harry’s emotional well being

interactions i enjoyed the most

Fred and George with anyone, Luna and Harry

the character who scares me the most

Umbridge, definitely Umbridge

the character who is mostly like me

I’m a bit of a mix between Hermione and Luna

hottest looks character

Oh gosh, I don’t know… Sirius? Maybe also book Ginny

one thing i dislike about my fave character

(Hermione) She can have a tendency to rush headfirst into things that she doesn’t completely understand, but that kind of goes for Ron and Harry as well

one thing i like about my hated character

(Snape) I mean, he does help Dumbledore and the Order, even though he isn’t a good teacher or an especially good person

a quote or scene that haunts me

Harry and Riddle in the chamber of secrets is fairly haunting (and not just because Riddle’s a ghost haha), also interactions between Harry and Sirius when they’re discussing their families, there’s something tragic about that when you know Sirius’s fate.

a death that left me indifferent

Snape

a character i wish died but didn’t

Did Umbridge die? I can’t remember. If not, she’s my answer

my ship that never sailed

Book Neville/Luna 

Thank you!!

4. do you like your name? why?Yes! It’s a constant state of “oh no, there’s no u” but I love it. (Eoin Macken once asked me why my parents decided to forgo the U in Cortney and in the end he decided it was because american’s don’t give a fuck [*might not have been the exact phrase but it’s how i remember it lmao]. And I mean? That’s pretty much the reason so ??) Also someone just recent told me I had an “author’s name” so hopefully there are others out there in the publishing world who share her opinion lol.

10. how would you describe your style?  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ right now it’sa bit of like bohemian-librarian-IT WAS ON SALE.

48. who is your role model? Not to be like, super boring, but like my family. My parents, Grandmother and Aunt are probably my biggest role models. My Grandmother raised my mom & her siblings for a couple years on her own and she still makes dinner twice a week for everyone & is literally helping my sister and I renovate her basement right now and she’s like ~83.
