I’m... sort of supportively indifferent towards it, if that makes sense?

favorite movie soundtrack?

This is perhaps embarrassing to admit but I listen to the Braveheart soundtrack AT LEAST twice a week. It’s just so good.

have you ever written a poem or song about somebody else?

if you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? why?

never in a big city (long term anyway). i love Italy and Greece because they’re like my country, but better in terms of what interests me about them. this is without considering the actual living standards, because i’m not sure that’s much better than my current situation. i always imagine myself somewhere in those two countries, specifically on the coast, bc they’re a) Mediterranean countries (like mine, and i would not trade this climate and all the beauty that comes with it for anything), b) they have a fascinating and long history (which is particularly in my interest and i would die happy if i got to explore their roots, literally), and c) i believe they’re not that far removed from the kind of life i know. maybe greece is, but my country is influenced by italy a lot, and it’s the mentality i’m comfortable with, even if i don’t agree with it always

top favourite songs (answered in a previous ask)

favorite ice cream flavor?

29. Do you believe in reincarnation?

As much as I believe in anything, I suppose? It’s the version of the afterlife that makes the most sense to me, but I’m not a hardcore “in my past life I was this and this” type person.

80. Some thing you wish did exist:

printers but like. they actually print things and you don’t live in terror that they’re going to stop working or eat your thesis paper.

149. Favorite thing about your personality:

8. do you prefer happy, bittersweet, or sad endings?

Huh. I think it depends on my mood and the story. Like, The Lord of the Rings has kinda bittersweet ending and it’s perfect. Rogue One has barely any sweetness among the bitter at all and it’s perfect. And while I obviously want good things for my favourite characters, sometimes super happy endings feel unrealistic/unearned/overly sappy. You know, the whole Everyone Gets Randomly Married, Bliss and Babies Ever After thing. So I guess... somewhere between happy and bittersweet?

12. if you could change one ending to a book/show/game/etc, what would you change about it?

Hah, I guess I always default back to ranting about PotC, so... I’d give At World’s End the ending it would have had if Orlando Bloom’s contract didn’t specify his character always has to ‘get the girl’: no one gets randomly married and Elizabeth stays the bloody Pirate King she was always meant to be. People go their separate ways but there’s room for all kinds of possibilities in the future. I know a bunch of people are glaring daggers at this right now, but... meh.

17. are there any tropes you wished were used less often?

11. a song that means a lot to you

That’s a difficult question, actually. Because lots of songs have meanings to me in various contexts, and lots of songs move me for various reasons. But I don’t know if they have a special meaning to *me*, you know? And now I have a minor identity crisis. :p

Okay, this might seem very weird, but... The Foggy Dew.

30. a song with really good lyrics

The one to immediately come to mind was Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. It doesn’t get much better than that, eh?

35. a song that motivates you

Yay! ♥

7: A song to drive to

I don’t even have a license, but… Led Zeppelin - Going To California

Made up my mind to make a new startGoing to California with an aching in my heartSomeone told me there’s a girl out thereWith love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

9: A song that makes you happy

Vienna Teng - Soon Love Soon. It sounds like a religious hymn but it’s not, not really. Or maybe it is, just not in a “traditional” sense.

there will be an evolution of the human soulwe will know that be a part is to be truly wholewe will know the pattern of centuries rise and fallwe will know that the fate of one is the fate of all

and we will be as one godand we will be as one people

20: A song that has many meanings to you

This dives a little into introspective teen angst territory: Goo Goo Dolls - Long Way Down (warnings for possible seizure triggers and aggressively pretty lead singer in the video).
