One Song: Renegades by X Ambassadors. I’ve been listening to this on repeat as I write Mad Max fic. And Suits fic. It oddly works for both?

Two Movies: Mad Max: Fury Road (yes, still), and Sliding Doors.

Three Shows: Suits (surprise?), Proof, Playing House. Bonus: Standoff!

Four People: Shout outs to everyone on this ridiculous Harvey/Donna spiral, with special honors to openlynerdy, lisamichele17, cleverdistraction and @firstofoctober

Five Foods: Chicken tortilla soup (in the heat of summer, go figure), watermelon, cheese, eggs, seafood

I also call you Bee. BECAUSE THIS IS RELEVANT AND IMPORTANT.

Edited. :p

PICK YOUR 5 FAVORITE TV SHOWS AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS:

1. Xena 2. Lost 3. Friends 4. Elementary 5. Daredevil

*Playing favorites is sincerely impossible for me, so I just went on a whim & chose the shows currently taking up space in my brain*

tagging: isjustprogress, hardrightturn, fidesangelus, desperationandgin (so she can answer REGINA MILLS to every question) and whoever wants to do this. no pressure, guys ;)

1. WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER IN 2? James Sawyer Ford, forever and always.

2. WHO IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTER IN 1? Hope. Die in a fiery blaze, you creep-ass psycho freak.

3. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE EPISODE OF 4? The season finale with the Moriarty reveal is just…still fucking amazing. I truly love a LOT of episodes of Elementary; that show is doing so many things right. But the Moriarty stuff…gah.

4. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE SEASON OF 5? HA. Season 1! As…you know…it’s only had 1 season so far…

5. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE RELATIONSHIP IN 3? While I still cry at “I got off the plane,” I really love Chandler & Monica. But if I’m being honest, Chandler & Joey’s friendship gives me life.

6. WHO IS YOUR ANTI-RELATIONSHIP IN 1? Hope/Ares. Nearly 20 years later and I still hiss at the screen. In fact, now that I think of it, I’ve once again fallen into the trap of putting my rewatch on hold when I hit that episode. Whoops.

7. HOW LONG HAVE YOU WATCHED 4? Since October of its 1st season. The lovely inkpenpencil sent me the pilot on DVD while I was stuck at home recovering from an ACL replacement & I quickly got hooked.

8. HOW DID YOU BECOME INTERESTED IN 3? I sincerely don’t remember a time BEFORE Friends.

9. WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ACTOR IN 2? Oh, this is terrible. Josh was always my favorite on the show, but when it comes to say, BEST actor out of all of them… Like damn, Terry O’Quinn & Michael Emerson. You can’t beat those two. Also, Elizabeth Mitchell, who is The Shit, always.

10. WHICH SHOW DO YOU PREFER: 1, 4 OR 5? *narrows eyes* How dare you make me choose. But Xena is my life-blood: it is my heart & soul. Xena runs through my veins and has long taken root in the core of my being. It’s molded my ideals and values, my personality and beliefs. It’s my everything and always will be.

11. WHICH SHOW HAVE YOU SEEN MORE EPISODES OF? 1 OR 3? I absolutely have no idea. If you want to get technical and go for “new” episodes, Friends had more seasons and therefore more episodes. But if you’re talking repeat viewing, no idea. I’ve seen every episode of Xena a bunch of times, but Friends is on CONSTANTLY and is also my anxiety-calming go-to. So. Draw?

12. IF YOU COULD BE ANYONE FROM 4, WHO WOULD YOU BE? JOAN FUCKING WATSON, HERO BAMF QUEEN EXTRAORDINAIRE.

13. HOW WOULD YOU KILL OFF YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER IN 1? Is this a joke? This is a joke, yes? Right? Because…we are NOT talking about F.I.N. That shit does not EXIST.

14. WOULD A 2/3 CROSSOVER WORK? I’d like my Sideways World James/Miles Buddy Cop show please. They can lunch at Central Perk. And if it was the other way around? The 6 of them would lose it being stranded on the Island. The last two standing would be Monica & Phoebe… I’m honestly not sure who would win that fight.

15. PAIR TWO CHARACTERS IN 2 THAT WOULD MAKE AN UNLIKELY BUT STRANGELY OKAY COUPLE. Sawyer/Jack. Heh. 

16. OVERALL, WHICH SHOW HAD A BETTER CAST: 3 OR 5? Impossible. Both are perfectly cast. And yes, I’m saying that about Daredevil already because I knew nothing about the cast OR characters, nor did I care, before watching. And each has been so perfect I could cry.

1. Favorite fandom site apart from Tumblr?

Does Twitter count? Because Twitter & Tumblr provide me All Knowledge of Much Fandom Thing.

2. Do you do any artsy fandom things? If you don’t, what would you like to learn how to do? (e.g. fic, art, vids, etc).

Haven’t written in forever and a damn DAY, so ha to that. My currently “artsy” skills are being used towards brimpersunited. Apparently I can now design crappy things like shirts and gifs and buttons and membership cards and flyers and posters and props! WOO HOO! Also dabbling in cosplay. Both of these things are an extremely bad idea because everything costs some major money, so really, wtf am I even thinking here?

3. Is the career/path of study you’re currently in the one you would still be in if money and the chance of success weren’t an issue? (e.g. lots of money, you’ll definitely succeed)

What career? *sings What Do You Do With A B.A. In English on repeat*

4. If you could have any animal for a pet, what would it be?

Dragon. ALWAYS DRAGON. Though, let’s be real: it’s me here. If possible, I’d recreate Noah’s Arc and take care of every animal on the planet. Happily.

5. What’s one thing you wish people could understand about you?

That having a major anxiety disorder is like having 2 separate people in your body. Even you hate that bastard of a roommate but you can’t seem to kick him out no matter how hard you try and the fucker OFTEN loves to lock you screaming in a closet and wreak havoc on your brain against even your own wishes. And that you hate that douche more than anything else in the world and would love to strangle him lifeless yourself…if only it were that simple.

6. If you could move anywhere, where would it be? Why?

Scotland. Glasgow. I would die immediately on arrival from accent overload, but it would be worth it.

7. What’s your favorite type of weather?

NOT. HOT. Take your humidity and SHOVE it. Fall is lovely.

8. What’s one thing that’s happened in your life that you wish you could go back and do differently?

I’m sorry, “one?”

9. Where is your ideal home located: city, suburbs, or country? Why?

Suburbs. The city’s too noisy, crazy, & crowded for me and the country is too remote. I don’t want to drive 30 minutes to the nearest grocery, thank you very much. But I would love to have a PLACE in the country, own horses, and ride constantly.

10. What is your favorite and least favorite cleaning chore?

All chores are my least favorite chore.

11. What’s one thing you wish you had time to do more often?

Read. I find there’s never enough time to read anymore. I miss being able to read hours upon hours a day in school: between classes, during break, on the bus… *sigh* Also: sleep.

Here are some questions for you to think about (”& why” is always implied):

To hardrightturn for encouraging me to hang on to my sanity during this rough work week, and for never failing to be my partner in flail. That Stalker episode!! Thanks for always keeping an eye on the sky for me. <3

To mylittleredgirl for being the queen of excellent commentary; your hilarious tags on all things Star Trek and Stargate have kept me entertained during this trying week. I've been thinking about you a lot and sending as much love as I can your way.

To gilllianfoster who completely understands my partners kink and will make me cry if she ever changes her blog name! Motive has been my saving tv grace the last couple of weeks and season 2 is so right up my alley. Thank you for introducing me to it -- feel free to always send me your recs.

To earnmysong for keeping my brain occupied with important sci-fi questions and 12 Monkeys theories. AND FOR WRITING ME FIC. And for sending me snippets of other work in progress fics, and for reaching out to me to make sure I’m okay when I disappear. Also, for Center Stage. And your positivity and enthusiasm. There are lots of reasons you make me happy.

To syd15 – do I really need to explain? All the fandoms, all the thoughts, basically. You get me. :D And you tag everything so I can search for stuff – this is a big deal when it’s late at night and I need a spiral. Plus, you’re trying to help me get out of the Under The Dome disaster I put myself in which is no small undertaking. Thanks for replying to posts and for your sweetness.

To bhalobashi because omg thank you for still watching Suits and chatting with me about it. I don’t know why we’re doing this to ourselves, but I love discussing the episodes with you. Our talk on Wednesday spurred forward the fic I’d been puttering around in, and Thursday and Friday were much less painful work days with otp thoughts in my head.

And to cottonwoolfairy because even though we've never chatted, I've been seeing you liking/reblogging my posts all week and it makes me smile. I think we’d get along swell. :)
