4. what’s an inside joke you have with your family or friends?

uhhh hmm i answered one here and i was just gonna tell another one but quite frankly i don't really... know if i have any others? at least ones that are still ongoing? running gag with @kae-karo that i am Definitely Not a childe (genshin impact) kinnie and yet somehow he keeps accidentally being unnervingly relatable? LMAO

5. what made you start your blog?

answered here x but quick recap: all my deviantart friends had migrated here, and all my irl friends were starting blogs, and i didn't wanna get left out!

20. favourite things about the night?

the moon, no traffic, the way nature sounds louder. bonus points if i'm somewhere i can see stars!

22. say 3 things about someone you love

i was like "oh god wait do i pick one person?? how am i gonna pick one person i love??? i love so many people??????" and then i was like "wait sammy sent me this and i love sammy, ez pz" SO three things about YOU :D 1) you're so passionate! you care so much when you love someone/thing and it's really amazing, i always love getting texts from you that are a mile long about something you really care about. 2) this icon of a person helped organize a wholeass university magazine AND got me into it which really ultimately helped me realize what I wanted as a writer and with my life and basically girlbossed (gender neutral) so hard the magazine is now a regularly offered course at our university 3) if i've ever seen a uquiz on tumblr or had someone send me a uquiz, i can guarantee it's getting sent to sam. we r uquiz buddies and honestly that's such a solid cornerstone of friendship

23. say 3 things about someone you hate

hehehe i can indulge in the drama, lmao i think the things the few people i hate have in common is that they're manipulative weirdos who got away with double-standards. they're the people who get exceptions from everyone around them regardless of their behavior - bonus points for behavior that they vilified me for. somehow, yes, i do have multiple people in mind for this one! i wish upon them loneliness and dissatisfaction for the rest of their lives :)

30. what’s one thing that never fails to make you happy/happier?

NOT ME REBLOGGING AN ASK GAME AND THEN COMPLETELY FORGETTING ABT IT oTL

also desktop makes some of these emojis funky so im sorry if they don't translate back to mobile emojis well (esp the trans flag)

🍁 - When did you first realize you were queer?

when i was like, twelve or thirteen?? my friends and i all kinda figured it out around the same time together so it was a very like, "hmmm i think i like Women" "oh me too" "yeah i think i'm like. Gay" casual thing (at least, it was to me)

🧡 - How has the way you presented yourself (ex. Clothing, hairstyle, etc.) changed since you realized you were queer?

well im still fucking emo LMAO. uhhh but literally now i cut my own hair and have bangs and bleach it and dye it in ways i never got to. i'd say i'm more comfortable now?? idk my style hasn't changed hugely bc i've always been a "hoodies and skinny jeans" person, but i'm def more comfortable in Formal Clothes now, like button-ups and dresses. also 13yo me would never be caught dead in shorts above the knee but here i am, somehow less Girl yet more Comfortable With Femininity ??

idk i was going to a private lutheran school and also didn't have a lot of freedom in general with my style so obviously things have changed since i've become an adult and the inherent difference in appearance that one takes over the course of a decade and adolescence. this answer is probs v different for people who realized later in life which is fair but like. my queerness has always been an aspect of my identity ever since i was at the age where i was FORMING an identity, so it wasn't like a huge game-changer for me, it just helped explain who i was better.

🦚 - Are there any queer books/shows/etc. that you would suggest?

for the anime gang, Given is a big one, as well as Sasaki To (And?) Miyano (sometimes i see the title as "sasaki to miyano" and sometimes "sasaki and miyano," idk) - both are mlm high school romances and they're SO GOOD.

the owl house is a huge one for me. our flag means death. what we do in the shadows.

technically the six of crows duology isn't like, A Queer Book (Duology) but there are explicitly queer characters and who DOESN'T love a good heist??

i'm sure i'm forgetting some, i'm VVVVV bad at recalling recs off the top of my head, and i def am too big into fandom/fanfic and know most of my media isn't Actually queer rip

on that note, if y'all ever have any queer recs, PLZZZ hmu!! i have been itching more for like. adult-oriented content like OFMD and WWDITS, with adults figuring their shit out over high school coming of age, but OBVIOUSLY high school coming of age can still slap and i still def consume it. idk if there's a mom "i'll always love you" scene in it i'll cry automatically so

🏳️‍🌈 - Do you enjoy the colors of your preferred flag? Do you incorporate it into your outfits, decor, etc.?

YES THE BISEXUAL FLAG IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT <333 blue/purple/pink is THEEE best color combo, sorry not sorry <333 there are def other pretty flags (aro and ace flags each are fantastic, love the black/gray/white with a pop of color in them sm) but i love the bisexual flag so much. i absolutely wear it frequently. i have multiple tie-dyed clothing items that are this color scheme. i love wearing it, i love dyeing my hair this combination of colors, etc etc.

the genderqueer flag is fine enough but idk i'm not a huuuuge fan of the green/white/purple (esp also now that TERFs on twitter use it to identify each other?? bc those are also the suffragette colors. suffragettes: cool. TERFs: uncool. genderqueerness: banger)

the nonbinary flag hits the aro + ace "black/white/[color]" sweet spot but at the same time it feels like the yellow and purple are from different palettes..... there's a post abt it floating around somewhere that i big agree with......... hmmm

the aromantic flag is banger as previously stated, we love to see it

🏳️‍⚧️ - What Flag do you think has the best color scheme?

bisexual flag EZ. asexual, aromantic, agender, trans, and bear pride flags are also all v pretty / good combos!!

purple:

what’s your astrological sign? aquarius sun, leo moon, capricorn rising

what’s the best piece of advice you ever received? a combination of sentiments from my dear friends kae and grant, giving me responses to the same sentiment that i can't exactly recall but their advice pairs together quite well now: "spite is a great motivator, but love is a better one in the long term."/"save your spite for racists and transphobes."

when’s the last time you followed your instincts? my instincts only lead me to bad decisions, when it comes to action. i prefer avoiding my impulses. HOWEVER, i tend to have pretty solid instincts about particular people and dynamics, and i'd say the last time my instincts were confirmed was when a pair of engaged friends broke up permanently, after i'd spent several years thinking that they didn't quite fit together. i find i have a general good sense when it comes to people, even if it takes a few years for everyone else to catch up to me. this has been the case for several acquaintances in the past, "friend of friends" types, where my initial dislike is confirmed to some degree by others involved a couple years later.

what’s your favorite food? oh man haha... i don't know if i really have one. deviled eggs, perhaps?

what’s your secret dream? secret dream, hm... i have a very not-secret dream of running away to the desert and disappearing forever into the red soil of new mexico, but i've been waxing poetic about that since 2016 or 2017. i dream of soulmates and the ability to fly and of living in a large estate with all my dearest friends. a dream i keep secret, though... i dream a lot of people returning to me, lost friends coming back, old dynamics returning to their peak. nostalgia for things five months passed or five years passed, i am always wistful of things that were good before i destroyed them. i dream of everyone i've ever loved still loving me. i don't know if that's what this question is asking for, but i think that's my best answer for it.

!!! <333

OTP for them: I do love me some Obikin!! They're so tragic and beautiful ;w; </3 BROTP for them: oooh probs Ahsoka!! I love their familial dynamic Other ships: While not my top Ani ship, I do like Anidala! What kind of fic I’d write about them: I've written vampire AU, soulmate/reincarnation AU, single dad AU, wholeass poems about Anakin Skywalker... A favorite canon moment: HMMMM OH MAN - it's been a while since I watched TCW or the prequels so the first thing coming to mind is the fight in Kenobi where Vader's mask is broken - "You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker. I did." you know Color that reminds me of them: he'll always be my golden boy! gold, orange, and blue are probs my top anakin colors Song that reminds me of them: ...have a playlist A headcanon about them: neurodivergent king!! I love a good ADHD or autistic Anakin fic/analysis/etc A random AU I think up on the spot for them: oooh hmmm - modern magical realism AU where Anakin excels at robotics-based magic and runs a tinker shop with his mother when he's a child... Not sure where to go from there but!! Anything else: I'm also now thinking about a Star Trek AU...
