#grumpy as usual

I was tagged by @junypr-camus to play a game created by @thenightmarewrites, where (as far as I understand it) I list what comes to mind when I associate specific words with my OCs. Thank you for the tag, this is a really interesting game that can give a lot of insight into my characters and how I perceive them! 

I’ll tag @marinesocks, @on-noon, @midnight-and-his-melodiverse, @starlightscribe, @writingpotato07, and anyone else who wants to join in the game can say I tagged them! 

For this list, I chose Micah Renner from my novel WIP “To Be Honest” as my associative OC. 

Seasoning: salt

Weather: an early Winter snowfall, the kind that just barely starts to stick to the ground

Color: gray-blue, also like early Winter

Sky: the kind of hazy sky where it looks clear at first glance, but only because the light haze of clouds across it is so seamless

Magical Power: sleep magic

House Plant: aloe vera

Weapon: taser

Subject: algebra, or astronomy

Social Media: livejournal, though in canon he probably only uses some facebook equivalent because his cousins signed him up against his will

Makeup Product: concealer

Candy: sea salt and caramel dark chocolate bar

Fear: abandonment

Ice Cube Shape: chunky squares

Method of Long-Distance Travel: trains

Art Style: impressionism

Mythological Creature: kitsune

Piece of Stationary: filing folder

Three Emojis: 😑😮‍💨❤️‍🩹

I’m asked to give an opinion on the course

Me: We waste class time singing children Chinese songs that we actually don’t understand or remember or care to learn. Perhaps focusing on writing sentences in Chinese characters would be helpful.. I don’t have time to spend 6 hours on work either when at least 2 of those hours could be spent in class learning Chinese characters..

Next Week

Professor: [I failed to inform you all that we do not have a test today] we will no longer have test for each lesson because it waste class time. Instead we will have a final test combining 5 lessons in one.

Proceeds to play chinese children songs and waste time with silly games

Me: Beyond irritated 

Looks for Spanish classes to take next semester

Chooses one

Searches professor’s last name on RMP....

Professor has complaints of doing the same thing: games and children songs.
