1. What’s the worst book you’ve ever read? And why did it suck? A Gathering of White Snows. It's the only book I intentionally never finished. The writing style just really grated on me, everything was extremely melodramatic and I decided I didn't need that stress in my life, lol.
2. If you could be a Traveler who would you travel into and what would you do for 24 hrs? Don't give this question to Ian?? I see what you did there, IAN. I'm gonna go with my dog, Lego. And I'm pretty sure I would play for 5 hours and sleep for 19.
3. Have you had breakfast today and what did you eat? I was recovering from SpiderGate 2014, so I indulged myself and had a spinach and artichoke souffle from Panera, with an iced chai tea latte.
4. What social media website could you not live without? tumblr, it's getting to be a legitimate problem tbh lol
5. What would the title of your autobiography be? "Oh Right, I Totally Meant to Do That, Yeah"
6. Do you have any special talents? I can eat all the mashed potatoes. ALL OF THEM.
7. Which of your 5 senses would you want to have heightened? Hearing. Between spy master skills and enhanced music listening abilities, I think it could come in handy. Plus lie detection if there's any truth to the Teen Wolf method of heartbeat monitoring.
8. If you could rewrite a plotline on TVD what would it be and what would you change? I would change almost all of Bonnie's storyline in season 5, starting in the first episode where she watches her father's murder. I'd have that moment snap her out of denial, flying to the opposite end of the selflessness spectrum by going completely dark. I'd have to work out the details on how witches on the Other Side can access magic, but essentially she would still have some lingering connection to the Expression triangle, using it to swap her life for one of the innocent bystanders at the harvest festival, resurrecting herself and killing them in turn. I'd want her to go on a rampage from there, setting the world on fire (sometimes literally) in a reckless campaign of revenge upon Silas. And in parallel to his canon arc where he's so desperate to bring back his Bonnie, I'd have Damon be the one most affected by her transformation, and the one most hellbent on drawing out the old Bonnie again from this wretched shell of a person she's become. Every time he expresses to her that what she's doing isn't okay and that she'll regret it someday, she tells him he can leave if he wants to, but he never does and eventually her words become more and more empty as she comes to really need him there. In the end, they both realize that they are the each other's tethers to their own humanity, and that that connection has always been there even when they hated each other. (This is kind of the plot to a fic I'm working on).
9. If you were sent to another dimension, who would you take with you (someone you know or celebrity) and name 5 activities you would do. I would take lapisisdrunkinbamon and 1. We would be reborn as sisters. 2. We would be raised by a vengeful and distant father into the life of hunting supernatural creatures. 3. We would drive all around the country pursuing such things in a '67 Impala. 4. We would probably be suuuuuper codependent. 5. We would be so badass tho.
10. Would you rather be captain of a starship or owner of your own business? CAPTAIN STARSHIP YESSS
11. If you could interview your LEAST favorite actor/actress/singer/author what would be the first question you’d ask them? I CANT THINK OF ANYONE D: Generally speaking, I guess I would ask them why they are so horrible.
1. If someone gives you a free vacation to any part of the world, where would you go? The ruins of Angkor Thom in Cambodia, which I just realized while looking for a link to share with more info has been completely mapped by Google, so now we know what I'll be doing for the next 5 hours.
2. What was the most exciting moment of your life? This is a hard one to answer, because there are so many different kinds of excitement, and it's hard to call up the specific feeling of each one to make comparisons. But I think I'll go with the last time I was in a dance drama called Chandalika, originally written by Tagore and translated to be performed by Kuchipudi dancers. I had the role of this sorceress who controlled demons. There was this one scene where I call upon them all by name, one by one, and each one was a different dancer. The scene was lit in reds and oranges and yellow lights, and the costumes for the spirits were bright, flowing fire colors too. The dance itself was extremely rigorous, just these nonstop forceful movements, and the whole time you had to maintain this twisted, feral expression that's unlike anything I use in my actual life. It was just this wild, dark, uncontrolled energy. There was months and months of prep work, and no matter how much I practiced I still ended up completely exhausted after every run of it. It was incredible though, I got so much one-on-one time with my teacher and learned so much, and the whole thing culminated in the performance, and I got specifically mentioned in a couple of the newspaper articles that came out about it. It was just so rewarding.
3 – What (or which fandom) made you join tumblr? Bonnie Bennett, Bamon specifically. (:
4 – Give me you Top 5 OTPs. Bamon, Legonnie, Kennett, Maleigh, and I thiiiiink Draeden might be on there now?? Like I've fallen really, really hard for this ship.
5 – Tell me someone who inspires you and why. irresistible-revolution Sorry to call you out, Tassja, lol. But she's just such a graceful, thoughtful person, and when you talk to her or read her blog it just feels so clear that she works hard to live her life in such a conscious way. It makes me want to do better.
6 – What’s the last book you read? Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys.
7 – If you could date any fictional character who would be? I would date Raleigh Becket, assuming he would look at me the way he looks at Mako Mori. Or maybe I'd date Mako Mori, and look at her the way Raleigh looks at her. Question: Can I date both at the same time because yes please.
8 – If you could be any fictional character for one day who would be? Maleficent, after she gets her wings back. Because wings.
9 – What’s the song that you are obsessing right now? Relient K's "Curl Up and Die." I haven't listened to it since I had it on loop for like 2 weeks while wrapping up my fic Haunted. And now it's back, and I have SO many Bamon feelings.
10 – Where are you from? Texas, sort of.
11 – What’s you life motto? I didn't know how to answer this, so I took a quiz on the internet. Apparently, my life motto is "Be the reason someone smiles today." I'll take it, I like that.
What time do you usually fall asleep? I aim for 9:45 (I wake up at 5am for work), which means I'm usually in bed by midnight.
Scariest moment of your life? Okay I don't know if this was THE SCARIEST, but this morning I got out of the shower and went into my bedroom to get my contact lenses case from my nightstand. I put in my lenses, looked up, and there on the window above my pillow was a spider that was seriously so big, like I have never NEVER seen a spider that big in the States before. India, yes. Here, NO. It was literally 5 inches across. I didn't know what to do, I just stood there and cried. Like literally stood there, stared at it, whispered "please don't move please don't move please don't move" and had tears just STREAMING DOWN MY FACE THIS MORNING WAS V STRESSFUL OKAY. Of course it moved after that, so I ran. Eventually we caught it in an empty jar and supposedly it was released back into the wild. Because apparently "it wasn't a poisonous one" but WHATEVER BECAUSE WHEN ITS THAT BIG IT DOESNT NEED POISON IT WILL JUST EAT U ALIVE
Last time you were punished/yelled at unfairly? What happened? I really can't even remember the last time I got yelled at, tbh. Most of the people in my life won't yell at me, maybe because they've figured out that I tend to just shut down and do my own thing if they try that. But I do get a lot of silent judgment and pointed "suggestions" and general passive aggressiveness, lol. WAIT. My sister. There's my sister, lol. She will yell at me, she will yell at you, she will yell at everyfuckingbody. The last time she yelled at me (ok we yelled at each other) was when I was helping her move to a different state, and we had just driven for 8 hours and I was SO HUNGRY (in hindsight, so many of our fights start with I WAS SO HUNGRY), and she was super stressed because of general anxiety and the schedule and she's just really type A, and she took it out on me, and I was hungry and cranky and just DONE because no I did not just drive 8 hours and promise to wake up early in the morning and take a day off work and spend my weekend to help you pack/move/unpack your stuff just to get yelled at, like NO. I might still be feeling feelings about this, actually. We're cool tho.
If someone knew the exact time. date, and place you died and would tell you if you asked them, would you? Yes, I would, for purely logistic reasons if nothing else, lol. I want to know how much time I have left so I can prioritize. If I'm going to die in a month that sucks of course, but I'm going to spend that month MUCH differently than I would when under the assumption that I'll possibly live into my old age and therefore need to work and build up my savings and all that.
What would be your last three words? I don't kn-
If you could do just one day over, what day would it be? A few years ago, I was in this romantic situation where I had two guys I was into, and they were both into me, but both were the type that I knew I had to make the first move. So I literally had to make the choice on which one I would pursue because unfortunately neither of them struck me as the sort to share. I made my choice based on what I thought of their personalities at the time, and how they made me feel. One was darker, and sort of grumpy a lot, but we got along well and had a solid friendship/partnership. The other was sweet, and we joked around a lot, and I didn't know him as well, but he wasn't so... dark, I guess. I was in a place at the time where I needed positivity, so I ended up choosing the newer guy. One year later, I had come to understand that the guy I was with was probably the most negative person I'd ever met, he was emotionally distant and little by little over the course of our relationship he revealed that he was averse to intimacy in any form. Which I see now is a fine and valid way to be, but it isn't what I need in a partner, and it took me a long time to realize it wasn't my fault. So because I internalized a lot of that, it was a major blow to my self image, in ways that I'm still teasing out now tbh. Anyway, sometimes I wonder how things might be different if I'd chosen to pursue my other friend instead. Maybe nothing would be different really, who knows. I just wonder. Wow this got really long. LOL sorry
Quick! WHat would you name your pet donkey?!? Donkey Hotay (DO YOU GET IT???)
What’s the last nick or disney show you watched (like really watched not just tuned into if literally nothing else was on) Fairly OddParents. I'd say Adventure Time, but that's CN.
Last time you got drunk? New Year's 2014. I don't usually get drunk when I drink, but there were a lot of jello shots, it wasn't my fault.
Something selfish that you did that you knew was selfish but didn’t care? I made Kennett week last for two weeks (I'm still not done with my Day 7 set).
Tomorrow you have no responsibilities whatsoever, how are you spending the day? SLEEPING OMG IM SO TIRED but not in my bed because that spider is alive and out there, it could make its way back at any time. It literally knows where I sleep.
