thank you very much!! from this ask meme:
1. If someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?I suppose for a reading list â tons of fantasy, from Rowling and Tolkien to Brian McClellan and Scott Lynch. Also Russian classic literature, poetry â especially Lermontov â and folklore⌠oh, also Strugatsky brothers fiction, as well as Kir Bulychev works. Harry Harrison (The Stainless Steel Rat series) was my first sci-fi book, and Alexander Belyaev, The Amphibian Man and Eternal Bread, for example⌠oh, completely forgot about Redwall series by Brian Jacques. Also Witcher series, by Andrzej Sapkowski! The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny, and Isaac Asimov work. Oof, that is a big listâŚTo recommend a specific watching list⌠would be weird, since I watch a lot, A LOT of things. But I recommend watching Japanese animation, like Ghibli movies and Ghost in The Shell and Kyoto Animation series/movies! And all movies in my movie tag, and cartoon tag, and anime tag. Also multiple video games tags⌠But itâs easier to just see what I play on blog, to be honest.To listen⌠I suppose podcasts by McElroys, and hard rock groups like Guns Nâ Roses, also Mylene Farmer⌠and soundtracks from different media. Definitely The Killers! Also Caravan Palace, The XX, Walk The Moon, Oh Wonder⌠itâs easier to share my vk.playlist at this point!
6. Are you religious/spiritual?Yes, at least I consider myself so. As most of my family, I am Orthodox Christian, but, however, of unorthodox teachings, if that makes sense? Since I am queer, that initially put a restrain on my own thought on God and religion, and made me detest Christianity as a whole due to queerphobia Iâve experienced from religious people, especially my own mum. But with time, and help of LGBTQ+ friendly people and a priest who himself is queer and considers that there must be change in interpretation of holy texts, since he himself as a historian (before turning to the church) didnât see any collision between sin and being queer. So now I am somewhat proud of embracing my religious views. Spiritual part is⌠more confusing and I cannot put everything in a simple answer, I apologise.
13. Inside or outdoors?Depends on multiple factors. Weather, mood, something happening, events, also seasons and what clothes I could wear⌠So both!
