1. when you were in elementary school, what person did you dream you would be in high school/college/later? are you that person? do you still want to be that person?

oh gosh i wanted to have lots of friends and lots of money and to be kind and pretty and cool and welldressed have a cute boyfriend and my parents to support all my goals and to be attending princeton and when i grew up i was gonna be the president of the united states

i didn't have many friends until college (i'm lucky enough to have a BUNCH of rly cool friends now, both irl and online), i am attending said college on full financial aid, i have a cute girlfriend, my dad is no longer living and my mom supports the goals i have that are rational and well thought out, i don't attend princeton but i'm reall y really really really happy with duke

im still gonna be president of the united states

i think that person is probably very happy but also very, very different from me because the major things that differ between us is that the person i wanted to be has not ever had a real rough time and i have and i think the things i've experienced are a huge part of me so i'm sort of glad i'm not that person 

2. what is the one song whose lyrics describe you perfectly?

gee i'm not sure i can think of one? there are lots of songs that i feel describe me but i refuse to believe there's a song that describes me perfectly like im a hella rad multifaceted person with lots of conflicting sides to me and i don't know if there's a single song that describes that maybe this is vain but eh 

3. you have the power to change one thing in the world. what do you choose?

this is maybe horrible but the thing i would chose would not be something like oppression or classicism or poverty it would be something horribly and deeply selfish and it would be a paper i wrote last semester the people who need to know what i mean by this know god this is such a selfish answer but in the end i'm p selfish so  

4. you’re writing your very own tv show, congrats! what is it about? who’s the main character? optional fancast?

OH LORD OKAY SO THERE'S THIS BOOK I'VE BEEN TRYING TO WRITE FOR SIX NANOWRIMOS AND IT'S i should stop capslocking it's about this about this real cool african-american girl from louisiana who comes from not so easy place financially and is super close to her family, is a senior in high school and has gotten in early decision to a great university and is getting ready for a whole new life and she's going to support her family with an amazing job once she gets out of school and then suddenly this crazy wave of natural disasters strikes the earth and then /zombies/ and only her and her nine year old get out and they go on the run and this girl is a total nerd she doesn't know how to fight so she has to teach herself how in order to protect her sister and then one day she wakes up and her sister is missing and she makes it her mission to get her sister back and along the way she finds another group of runaways run by this really cool middle aged woman and her, shit, super hot badass daughter who is super protective of this 12 year old lil jewish boy named adam who watched his parents die and is an absolute angel 

there's some other stuff that happens like the fact that our whole world is essentially god's computer game and the natural disasters and zombies happen because of a glitch and it's been SO HARD FOR ME TO WRITE and that's bc every time i try to write it im like this would be so much better as a tv show or a movie so yeah the show would be called GLITCH and it would be awesome and have a fantastic soundtrack and the main character would have this crazy great fro and fans would be like "how does her hair stay so good when she on the run from zombies" and i'd be like magic bros magic and the younger sister would be quvenzhané wallis who is quickly getting way too famous for this lil show so maybe not ugh the cast would be s o d i v e r s e and ugh ugh guhg uhgughughguh

not that i've thought about this a lot or anything

5. dream car?

i want a beemer so b  A  d it'd be black and have this gorgeous leather interiro and i would look so fantastic in it 

6. if you didn’t have to think about money, your future job or whatever, what would you ideally study?

hmm i feel like i would still be doing public policy bc i would still want to do politics but shit i also feel like i'd be majoring in theater 

7. you can make one ship canon. which one do you pick and why?

honestly i wouldn't want most of my ships to canon i like them being fanon because i wouldn't want the canon to ruin them and also some ships (like sterek) i feel are not at the point in the canon that their relationship would be healthy or fulfilling or something i'd want to watch

i guess merthur but didn't 5x13 already do that for me 

8. what is the most important thing to you?

i just stared at this question for exactly 9 minutes and 22 seconds because i .... this is hard wo w i think probably... passion? i don't even know if i'm interpreting this question correctly lol but personally the thing i try to apply to everything i do is passion because if i don't have real drive for something i won't do it (byproduct of my adhd xoxo) i hope i answere dthis the way the question intended shit 

9. write a short dear favorite character or a dear future me, whichever you’re the most comfortable with.

dear future me,

hey there hope you're doing alrigh t!!! things aren't doing so awesome right now but i'm kind of holding out the hope that things are going a lot better for you so don't let me know if that's not true. not that ud be able to. bc ur in the future. also i hope youve started using real grammar again bc this is getting out of hand.

best wishes, you 

10. if you could go back in time and stop yourself from getting a tumblr/invested in fandom and such, would you do it?

absolutely not? i'm not comfortable with a lot of things i see on tumblr and sometimes (always) fandoms are shitty but the friends i've made, the shows i've watched because of said friends/this website, the escape those things offer me from sad times... wow absolutely not

oswim replied to your post “OH MY LORD THIS”

well done!!! <3

She takes her time putting the crayons back and flipping the drawing over before getting up, staring at him expectantly with a raised eyebrow. 

Jo walks as if she's being led to bedtime or worse and Jim looks around as they walk, hoping that no one thinks he's kidnapping her. 

"Is something wrong, Jo Jo?"

She whips around just as they reach the door to the deli, glaring daggers at him. "Don't call me that. You're not my dad."

He raises his hands in surrender. "Sorry."

She narrows her eyes as he opens the door, holds it so she can pass. "Do you always hold the door for everyone or just for me and daddy? You know he can get the door himself. He's not a girl. And I'm not a baby..."

He takes a deep breath and follows her into the shop. He can just see how this will all turn out and it devastates him. Under no circumstances will Bones be with someone his daughter hates. 

They order their sandwiches and head back to the apartment, the feeling of dread growing as they get closer. 

Joanna gives up drawing to run around the room, making sure to 'bop' everything with the large dolphin stuffed animal Bones gave her. 

"Bop, Jim! Bop, bop, boppy bop."

"Calm down, kid. I'm just trying to date your dad!"

She stops hitting him over the head. "You are?"

He rubs his hair down, sure to be a static mess. "Yes."

"You love him?" She drops the dolphin and climbs onto the couch so they're at eye level. 

"Yeah, I think so."

"Laura Keppler's sister Katie said that you're a flirt and a man whore."

"Who's Laura Keppler? And aren't you a bit young to know what a-"

Jo has picked up the dolphin again and hold it like a sword aimed at Jim's chest. "Are you?"

"Um, maybe? But not with your dad, I swear."

"Do you like me too, Jim?"

"Of course, I do! When you're not being terrifying that is."

"And you won't replace me?"

His face softens as he notices the tears in her eyes. He relaxes his posture. "Never. Why would you think that?"

"If you get married and fall in love and have a baby, I could be forgotten. That's what happens sometimes."

"Never."

He hugs her, even if he thinks that might cause him some bodily harm and turns when he hears throat clearing. 

Bones looks about as wrecked as Jim feels. 

"Oh hey. Didn't see you there." He lets Bones step into the room before opening his arm up and pulling the other man toward them. 

As they all hug, Jim allows himself to fully relax.
