Artemis: What do you first notice about new people?

Ares: What’s a big pet peeve of yours?

Satyr: Last time you couldn’t stop laughing?

First thing I notice about new people?

Well uh, probably their clothes. I suck at faces and names but their clothes are what I latch onto. This whole "change you clothes" thing makes identifying people really hard for me lmao.

If you mean online, intro tone. However they talk when we first meet online will shape my opinion of them by a bunch.

Pet peeve

Mind went blank for a minute but my friends saved the day by reminding me how much I despise people who just comment "update" or "update soon" or "when are you updating" on my fics.

I have a life and a schedule for my updates, you know when I'm updating, it's in the tags and the authors notes.

Last time I couldn't stop laughing

Like thirty minutes ago on a vc with some friends and we were screensharing and watching this hilarious video and we were all dying.

I never said I was going to make the characters into those creatures... but I'll roll with it in this case. (Personally I find benrey to be more dragon like, but if you're here you probably already knew that.)

Olympus: Describe your dream job.

Underworld: Describe your dream vacation.

Trident: Who are your favorite people?

Dream job

Writer.

But that doesn't make the money I need nor have the insurance I need. Got major health issues and I need to be able to pay for treatment.

So construction management is my goal.

Dream Vacation

Okay I'm a cheat, this is a world tour, we're stopping every place we can (I say we cause @izzymrdb is def with me).

Absolutely necessary stops: Greece, Rome, France, Switzerland (I need something from there that I lost 😭), Japan, Russia, New Zealand, brief stop in Canada, the Philippines.

Most everywhere else in the world is on the list tho.

I want to stop in Brazil to visit sunshine (a friend of mine) and honestly I want to stop and see most of my friends abroad (and at home for that matter) cause like, I love them and wanna meet them.

Favorite People

Okay, of all people I am putting top two first

Izzy duh, and then Autumn (my best friend).

Then of course (and forgive me if I don't name everyone but I've made a lot of friends on tumblr and discord and I'm forgetful).

@miazma @paxamynta @a-marlene-s @duchessmb @theaberrantone @justafanwarrior

And others that don't know me with this tumblr or I don't know their tumblr so not tagging lol, but Carol, Blake, Pao, Lura, my other bestie Ani, and Suzie

I have lots of favorite people 🥰 only two are irl lmao

There's already an au for that! They're wonderful! It's a really cute au so far and I can't recommend it enough.

Thank you so much for taking the time to pick out these questions.

morrigan: What do you think happens when we die?

If this was up to me, I’d choose oblivion, eternal non-existence, but I’m a Christian so: ashes to ashes, heaven, hell, the works…

atum: What are your greatest imperfections?

Social awkwardness. I want to be smooth but not too emotionally invested (does this make sense?)

My tendency to over-analyse things and worry too much.

How I get so concerned with outcomes that I sometimes (1) forget the merits of the process, (2) freeze up in situations that are horribly unpredictable, and (3) unkindly dismiss the opinions of others.

arawn: What is the most terrifying thing you’ve ever done?

I’ve answered this but I have another one: severing ties or refusing something really important, in person. I prefer to be honest if I can help it, but this is traumatic.

cernunnos: What is your favorite animal?

I love foxes, corvids (crows, ravens), jellyfish and bears.

apollo: Do you play any instruments?

It’s one of my regrets in life that I didn’t learn to play, but I sang in school choirs.

apollo & diana: Do you prefer to be up during the day or at night?

I prefer the night. It is quiet, everyone’s asleep and there are few distractions. Where I live, the day is hot and humid and bothersome.

aphrodite: What do you think of yourself?

Thank you kindly for these questions.

arawn: What is the most terrifying thing you’ve ever done?

The times when I wrote/spoke to someone whom I respect immensely, was in a position of high authority and also a virtual stranger, in order to find out things I needed to know, forge a meaningful connection, etc. Times when I start doubting my ability to do anything at all. To be myself. To be polite and unintrusive but also firm and decided, to mean exactly what I want to mean and no more. That terrible, self-conscious anxiety and the awareness that that reception you hope for isn’t even in your power to decide.

bragi: What kind of music do you listen to?

My tastes are quite varied. I tend to explore genres when I write, but left on my own I listen to soft piano ballads, classical music (choirs are my fave), jazz, music with oldies influence (I love oldies a lot) or unconventional arrangements/use of instruments (e.g. Joanna Newsom, Florence and the Machine). Good singing voices are important, and so are the specific atmospheres they create. I don’t like much current pop/radio-friendly music since they don’t do anything for me.

morpheus: Do you daydream often? Of what?

yessssssss the witch look is my jam

Bran: how is your health?

"My health is fine. I'm fit and able. Any residual effects from previous injury has faded, to my relief."

//Aden is fit as a horse, in a sense. The effect of lyrium is not strong on him yet, though he has days of minor confusion to start or forgetful moments. He does have aches, from his head and shoulders mostly, and his most traumatic injury occasionally has moments that make him physically twitch, but for the most part, he is a strong male in his prime. --verse dependent--

//Mentally he struggles, swaying between rage and rudeness, to melancholy. A lot of the time, he is processing something or other.

Dionysus: do you drink?

I do."

//A lot more than most people seem to realize.

Hermes: Stolen Anything?

"No. Not without the intent to return promptly. "

"All things in this world are finite.

What one man gains, another has lost.

Those who steal from their brothers and sisters

Do harm to their livelihood and to their peace of mind.
