So @rinablet tagged me to answer some questions~! Thank youu <3

Rules: answer the 11 questions sent by the tagger, create your own 11 questions, and tag 11 people.

Please don’t feel pressured into answering this! 

1. What are the things you’re currently super into?  Wow, OK, pretty obviously figure skating and Yuri on Ice, but also... doing crosswords? Because I’m an ancient figure, apparently.

2. Who’s your favorite fictional character? Why? A wild tie between Victor and Yuuri because I can relate to both their characters but in a way underwhelming life scenario.

3. Back when Twilight was still popular, were you one of the people who loved it or hated it? Or were you indifferent? I read the two first books and couldn’t stand reading it because I thought it was so bad jflksdjflksd

4. Do you have any pets?  I do!!! I have a toy poodle called Toddy and he’s the cutest thing <3

5. Do you have/Have you ever had a best friend? What are/were they like? I’ve had a bunch! I have a small group of friends I consider to be my best friends now, and we’re all really diferent but weirdly we get along super well? We have all tropes like the funny guy, the mom friend, the stubborn guy, the family’s disappointment (hi that’s me) and the one who’s never with us but is a part of our group constantly. 

6. Favorite subject at school? Ahhhh it was Literature! I always liked Biology as well and somehow ended up studying History lmao.

7. If there’s a word to describe yourself in general, what would that be?

Mess™

8. Anything you wish to change about yourself? Probably be more assertive and not let people’s opinions influence my life so much. It’s a work in progress.

9. Priorities in life? (Family, Religion, etc.) Right now it would be graduating from university.

10. What’s your idea of the perfect life? A life where I can be comfortable and I always have a little spare money to treat myself. Nothing too fancy, just real comfort and security.

11. What do you think of everytime you’re getting too stressed or just needed a break? fjkdshfjkdhflsd goodness I don’t even know? I think I’m too stressed to think of anything positive, or anything at all, so my mind just becomes a huge blanjk until I’ve calmed down by a miracle.

My questions:

Can you cook? If yes, what is the favorite dish you like to prepare? If no, what is a dish you’d like to know how to prepare?

If you could become really good at a sport, what would that be?

Do you think white chocolate could be considered chocolate since it’s like 90% fat and 10% sugar?

What are your thoughts on sparkling water?

Are you a coffee or a tea person? (And if you are a coffee person, for example, what do you think about tea people?)

What are your top three favorite scents?

Think of one of your skills that you’ve been working on for the past year. How has your progress been? What are thinkgs you pride yourself with? What are things you can keep working on?

Are you a fan of unsolved mysteries? What is your favorite? 

What does yourr ideal evening consists of?

Do you have a pet? Please tell me about them. Tell them I said hi. 

This is a drama-free zone. Do you have anything that has been bothering you? Feel free to rant all you want!

19) when it comes to more complicated narratives, how do you keep track of outlines, characters, development, timeline, ect.?

i have an... elaborate OneNote document with guides, plot points and descriptions that i always keep around in case i forget something. i always get caught up in timelines because i’m terrible with numbers, but things like character development and plot points are easier for me to keep track of. i like to think i’m pretty organized in that sense? 

24) have you ever become an expert on something you previously knew nothing about, in order to better a scene or a story?

oh yeah, a bunch of things jfsldjfkl;sdjf;sd i know a bunch of neighborhoods in moscow because my researches have to be thorough (otherwise i’m not happy with it), i also learned a bunch of things related to ballroom dances which always fascinated me but i never really got into until i decided to plot an au around it 

thank you!! <3

awww omg you’re so sweet!!! <3 

fanfic end of the year asks

15) something you learned this year

wow um... i’m a slow writer, and i tend to want to write more when i’m stressed with uni. i guess writing is my coping mechanism for anxiety related to assignments? like right now i have all the free time in the world and the number of writing i’m done is zero. i can tell that i’ll be feeling like writing again just one week from classes getting started. way to go, andie. 

21) most memorable comment/review

honestly i get so many sweet reviews?? it would be really unfair to pick just one and say that’s my favorite fskdjfksdnfksd they all mean the world to me and i feel incredibly flattered that people are moved and enjoy my writing so much to the point of writing an almost as lengthy reply to thank me for that. it’s incredible??? i cry every time fsdkjfdsljflks

i think the wax description comes mostly from the texture, which is v wax-like, but if you get past that the taste is mostly just sugar

Aaaah.
