6. what's your favourite fic trope when it comes to buddie?

answered here! but another is def like, specifically friends to fiances but also more generally eddie and buck just going. 0 to 100, or the idea that they Know they are It for each other

14. what song(s) do you associate with buddie?

at this point what songs Don't i associate with buddie @himbodiaz has turned me into a holy ground by bannerz truther to the point where it's now in my top listened to songs, but i also go bananas thinking about them re: funeral by maisie peters, all my ghosts by lizzy mcalpine, and tbh... something great by one direction

also agreed this ask game is so fun!! @daylightbuddie rebecca is a genius

Thank you!

1. How far along are you in your studies?

I’m in the second year of my PhD. Only three more years to go!

11. What classes are you taking this/next semester?

I’m taking a courses on Milton and graphic narratives this semester. Next semester I’m hoping to do two independent studies, one on Victorian literature and one on adaptations.

15. If you have to write a thesis, what are you going to write it on?

I’m planning to write my dissertation on late 18th-century and 19th-century women writers incorporating fairy tale motifs into their novels. I’m over a year away from having it completely pinned down, so it’s just a vague idea right now.

21. If you couldn’t study the subject you study now, what would you study?
