#maddi rambles

I am staying as a Lalafell

What is your favorite, weird comfort quirk?

Um, I’m not sure XD I don’t think I’ve got quirks. I suppose, if it’s just average comfort: get into comfortable clothes, get a nice hot/cold drink (depending on the weather) and just spend some time reading or something. 

If I’m really anxious about something I need to remove myself from the situation completely and just go somewhere quiet to unwind.

Tumblr Crush

Oh, a fair few XD @funkzpiel and @fantastic-beasts-smut / @thegaypumpingthroughyourveins are definitely too. They always make my day with their posts and messages :D @all-hail-queen-mycroft has to be one of my longest though XD

Beach or Mountains?

Ah, not sure. Mountains are nice but the beach is closer to civilisation generally. Though the sand. But mountains are quieter. Take longer to get to though. But still... yeah, I’m going with beach. Though ideally I’d go to a city instead XP

What’s one big fear you are trying to overcome?

That I’m wasting my life. 

My job sort of imploded a few months back (second in a row, it’s either me or this industry man, I can’t tell). I’ve managed to get by well enough with freelance projects, but it definitely feels like my life is in limbo right now. Which is worrying. 

Furthermore, I didn’t really like my last job at all, and like I said, this was the second position in my industry to just disappear, so I’m questioning whether maybe a change is in order, but that would require more time to learn and get into and that’s worrisome. But the more time I just ponder about it the more time I’m wasting. 

Yeah, I’m in limbo right now and I’m trying to overcome that.

Favorite dream you’ve ever had?

I generally don’t remember my dreams. The only dream I can really recall was a bit more of a nightmare, but it was very visual and, sort of like a dream sequence. Like there were close up shots and weird angles that I wouldn’t see naturally from my eyes in the situation. 

So though not my favourite dream, definitely has potential XD I’d like another like that but without murderous russian gangsters after me this time.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Not really. It’s an interesting concept for fiction but I don’t truly believe in them. 

Fanfic you would recommend to others/really touched you, etc.?

Ah, so many! Right, well right off the bat there’s Guilty by @thegaypumpingthroughyourveins. Heartbreaking, engaging, just an absolutely must-read

Then there’s ‘And The Tag Read Simply: Pretty’ by @funkzpiel. Another MUST-READ. So heartbreaking and earnest and suspenseful and- just read that one!

And then so many of @funkzpiel‘s oneshots too. I sound like a massive fangirl I know but I love her writing and her Percival and Newt so much!!

Fan Art that everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and look at?

Sooooooo much. But this comic by @questionartbox still hits me in the gut everytime I look at it!

Fanfic premise you wish someone would write, but haven’t seen yet?

Oh I don’t know. I really have no idea, I get so blindsided by other people’s creativity I can’t think of anything that hasn’t been done. I suppose I’m a sucker for a tattoo shop or High School AU. I’ve only seen a few of those. 

Dream house/job?

Something waaaaaay out of my price range. 

Nah, I dunno. A flat in the city, someplace small and clean with big windows and high ceilings that allows pets and allows me enough time from work to actually live in it a bit XP It seems unattainable right now but one day. 

Dream job? I’d like to illustrate and make a living out of it. Failing that I’ve been tossing about the idea of teaching high school. I’d planned to go into the after school and went into art instead, now it’s starting to appeal again. 

Something you’re really proud of (fandom-related or otherwise)?

I actually am pretty proud of how Secrets has gone. It was my first proper fic that I’ve written in... years I think, and it’s still going strong and people like it and I have it plotted out and I plan on finishing it which is a big step up from how I was a few years ago with writing. So yeah, I’m proud of that. 

Otherwise... I dunno, I’m proud I’ve managed to stay afloat this long. 

Now, my 11 questions:

Are you a Dog Person/Cat Person/Both/Neither

What skill would you love to have?

What’s you current favourite song and why?

Top 5 movies?

What movie/book takes you back to your childhood?

Is there a certain smell or sound that reminds you of home?

Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Are you happy with that?

Can you plan an instrument?

City or Country?

What’s your five year plan?

What Hogwarts house are you (is it different to what Pottermore says you are?)

i love you Merrill and the way you want to save your people, you just did it in a way where you had no other options. i love you.

I love you Sebastian, the way you hold yourself and your beliefs and even you question others, you don't pressure the others in Hawke's party to basically join the church. i love you

i love you Carver as difficult as it is to get your friendship up, you don't betray anyone and you love deeply, no matter what side you take. i love you.

i love you Bethany for always being kind even if you blame me for making you a Grey Warden that one time if was for differences I swear but I still love you

I love you Sera, your way of speaking took me a while to understand but I love you, you have depth and layers that no one can see. I love you.

I love you Vivienne, how you hold yourself, how you wish things would go to the normal and it takes breaking down your walls to understand you. I love you.

Oh my God. What a beautiful game.

Yeah some dialogue is cringe HOWEVER I love a protagonist who isn't overly mean even in jest. I'm sorry but kindness wins.

The slow burn MMMN.

I love the Mourn Watch faction I cannot wait to see the others and how they tie into Rook.

This may not be Inquistion-Wow factor but it hits the right vibes as someone who loves Dragon Age for the lore and the characters.

Its a beautiful game.
