This week we’re talking about food and eating habits!

Thank you Kat @mybrainismelted for the tag 🥹🥹 I’m early for once!

Name: Nym and/or Nora

Location: UK.

What was the last thing you ate? A Daim bar.

Do you have a food that you have to eat every day? My current breakfast obsession is raspberries with Greek yoghurt and honey and I’ve been eating it every day since like March lol. But @theperksofbeingabooknerd has influenced me to make an egg muffin this weekend so I expect that will be my new obsession 🤭

What food do you eat “weirdly”? Bonus points for telling us why it’s weird. Walnut whips. You eat the walnut first, coz it’s the worst bit. Then you bite off the top, lick out the cream (I can hear y’all thinking dirty thoughts SO GET UR FUCKIN MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTERS)… and then eat the rest. Is it weird? Idk it’s not weird to me, but someone saw me doing this once and was like “just eat it!” And I was like 🤨🤨🤨 bitch I am eating it!

What is your favourite food from your country or culture? British food culture is an amalgamation of a lot of other cultural foods (usually without giving said cultures credit LOL - I mean the national dish is a chicken tikka masala!!). But in this instance I think my fave British food is just a pasty. A veggie pasty. Can’t beat it!

What is your least favourite food from your country or culture? Pork pie… ughhhhh.

Do you drink coffee? If so, how do you take it? Yesssss with plenty of milk, and three sugars.

Do you cook? I love cooking but don’t get to do it often on account of being a lazy bitch.

Are you a sweet or savoury snacks person? Equally both, but if I had to choose right now it’d be savoury.

And finally, tell me about your ideal meal: Right now I really want a veggie stew with dumplings bc I’m still kinda sick.

Thank you @heymacy for the tag 🥰 and I'm on time for once!

name: Nora/Nym

where are you right this second? At my desk, writing for Born Free, Die Captive.

where SHOULD you be right this second? I guess I should be at work, but we were allowed to leave early!

what’s your favorite aquatic animal? Seahorse. I just think they're cunty. Also I like that the males carry the baby seahorses during reproduction. Also they just look extra.

what’s your least favorite dinosaur? Lol this is hard, I think they're all cool. I mean, I would shit myself if confronted with ANY of them, but if I had to pick least favourite it would be Troodon. Way too bird-like, even though I know birds are lil dinos.

if you could have a funky skin or hair color (think rainbow) what would it be? Oooh maybe a hot pink for skin and purple for hair bc those are my two fave colours.

what is your favorite word in any language? Cunt, of course.

how are the apps on your phone organized, if they are? In folders sorted by what kind of app they are. I have a folder for food apps, reading apps, shopping/fashion apps, finance apps etc. I hate not having my phone organised.

if you could take a ride on any animal regardless of its size, what would it be? If I didn't hurt it and I became suddenly weightless... or if I shrink or grow to be able to safely get on it... I guess it would be a tortoise. I think it'd be relaxing. My favourite animal is a cat, but I could not deal with riding on them lmfao.

do you fold your socks and underwear? Absolutely not.

what’s your favorite mindless doodle to draw? Honestly, genitals. Idk why I do that when I doodle, but I just do. It's inexplicable. Dicks are the easiest to draw IMO.

finally, if you could pick a celebrity to bail you out of jail, who would it be and why? Yungblud because I feel like he'd be so nice about it and he'd want the full story and we'd have a right little gossip and I'd repeatedly make him say "I'm from Doncaster".

Heyyy Nonny! Aw that’s so sweet, you can ask me anything 😁

Sorry I’ve not answered this ask for a few days, but I was just in my feels about it lol. I MISS BORN FREE!!!!!

Me after getting your ask:

I am still writing it! I’ve not written for a month or so because I’ve not been in that state mentally and I kept getting distracted by life. But it’s still very much on my mind and I will get back to it soon!

My plan was to finish it completely before I uploaded it, because there’s a few things I want to do but I can already see the plot holes forming haha. I want it to be right before I post it 🫣

I also will be formatting a version of it separately from ao3 so that it reads nicely on an ebook/kindle etc. cause I know some people like to download a fic and read on an external device. 😅 idk if people will even care about it like that but it’s something I want to do just for myself. As a writer, reading back on past works can feel so cringe sometimes because reading a story is way, way different than writing it!

today's word count: 2,120 words words

total word count: 120,571 words

really, really happy with this word count. i'm working on chapter 10 rn and mickey is being such a fucking brat lol, and bratty mickey is my FAVE to write 😝

side note, i'm so fucking emotional about the fact that i'm actually making progress on born free after such a shit year and not looking at it for months. not a day went by where i didn't think of it though. MY BABIESSS I AM NOT OK.

anyway, there was a bit of angst in the last chapter, but the guys are getting back to normal in this one and it's gonna be so fucking good when these idiots have their realisations i swear. i can't waittttttt!

what it feels like in my head rn:

thanks for the tags kat @mybrainismelted & @stargazer-las 🖤

Name: nora / nym

Death year (If you're unsure then birth year will also suffice): 1993

Does your mortality frighten you? honestly no. i wouldn't like to leave this mortal coil before my mum, though. she would be in a lot of pain and i love her endlessly. anytime after that, whatever. i'm happy with whatever years i have left. nobody knows what happens after you die, and at least it would answer a question. either nothing is on the other side, or something is on the other side.

Are you celebrating Halloween this year? If so, are you dressing up? not in the traditional sense. it's been a long long time since i dressed up or trick or treated. but i will be spending the evening with a friend.

What is your favorite candy? it's hard to pick favourites because i go through phases with what foods i like. but right now i could go for some sour/fizzy strawberry laces.

Once the time comes... Burial or Cremation? burial. no coffin. just put me in the ground and let the worms eat me.

How long would you survive in a zombie apocalypse? i would give up immediately because i'm not doing all that. i'm way too lazy, just take me now and let's be done with it.

✏️💀 Bonus Task What are Ian & Mickey dressing up as this year? mickey would be in a Top Gun costume, because i think he'd look hot in the suit. ian would put in a little more effort, and maybe go as The Mask, which i think would suit him. or the joker, but i feel like that's too on the nose hahah.
