I was tagged by @treesofyavanna to answer questions! I hadn’t seen the eleven questions game, that a recall so I looked it up. This is what I found for rules:

Always post the rules. Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new questions. Tag 11 new people. Message the people you tagged to let them know you tagged them.

Here are treeofyavanna’s questions and my answers:

1. What’s your favorite thing to do on a day off?

Right now, play minecraft, occasionally watching videos from YouTube with my family. But I’d love to spend a day in a nice hotel with my wife. Something with an in room hot tub like we had part of our honeymoon.

2. Most recent book you’ve read?

The End of All Things by John Scalzi.

3. What is your current obsession?

Minecraft. I bought a server last year and I play on it with my wife and our kids.

4. Tea or coffee? Coffee. I’ve been a coffee drinker since I was two. But I drink tea too. Sometimes at the same time sipping each in turn.

5. What was your first computer?

Texas Instruments TI-99/4A. I had no premade media for it. It new basicA so i learned to program a bit. I used my mother’s cassette recorder to save the programs I wrote. The biggest of these was one that played when the Saints Come Marching home while ASCII art I made scrolled onto the screen. I bullied my cousin into giving me a list of notes for the song and used a chart that came with the computer to translate notes into frequencies.

6. Favorite cuisine?

Indian! I first had it at the Kabob and Curry in Providence, Rhode Island which remains my favorite restaurant. I like not just Indian cuisine as filtered through the UK which most restaurants seem to have but other takes on it like the vegetarian place across the street which I just order meals for the number of people eating and then order some extra samosas and Roti. I don’t know the names of the dishes I’ve had from there, but there has never been one I did not like. Udupi Palace, another vegetarian place had what appeared to be whipped spinach that was so good I nearly begged for more.

7. If you had to be on a reality TV show, what kind of show would you be on, and how would you try to win?

I really don’t watch much reality television. Most of it seems like it would be toxic to participate in. It seems often to include all the worse elements of middle school. I’d select something where I could sit down for most of it, if possible. As for how I’d try to win, I’d pay close attention to the rules and do my best.

8. Cats or dogs? Or neither? I’m allergic to both, I love them both, but if I could not be allergic, it would be cats. I’d like a pair of cats.

9. Can you play a musical instrument? Not well. I took the flute, which is stupid for an asthmatic. Even so, breath control was the easiest part for me. I could sound the notes correctly, but I am tone deaf. I have no memory for melody and I never could hear if I was playing the correct notes. I understand the theory but it never got any easier and I never got past the first three note songs you start with. 10. Over-the-ear headphones, or ear buds? Or neither?

Neither. Over the head headsets are best, but failing that in the ear headphones. 11. Fire, earth, water, or air?

Earth. I represented earth in a friend’s wedding as I am the earthiest person she knew.

My questions:

If there is a new person in your life, someone who you will spend a lot of time with, what book would you like them to read to give them a shared context?

Which do you prefer, odd or even numbers, or do you not have a preference?

What color is Tuesday?

Popping zits: fun or gross or both?

Is there a fandom that brought you to Tumblr and are you still in it?

Is there a color you would like to wear, but don’t and why not?

What’s your favorite food texture?

Is there a food texture you can’t stand?

Name your favorite famous person who shares part of your name. If that is too revealing, name the category of famous person.

Famous person you wished did not share part of your name? Again, if that’s too revealing just list the category.

What author surprised you the most?

Do ittttt!

I’m sorry, I’m not creeping on you, I promise - I’m just so glad there’s another person I follow who is into Sense8!

this came in as a smut prompt, but apparently, that didn’t happen.

Clint doesn’t call this post-mission cuddles, because it’s not. It’s just that he has this tendency to fall asleep any moment he can, including his head tipped back on Coulson’s shoulder, his back making contact with various parts of the man’s body. He can’t control the contortions his body does while trying to sleep against a person when they are sitting on a bench in a tiny airplane, rumbling somewhere over a plains state.

It’s probably a plains state. It looks like wheat from up here.

But they are post-mission cuddles. Coulson isn’t very hands-on. Not with him and their relationship, a strange carved-out sort of thing, but after missions there’s always this exception. It’s okay to touch right now, keep your hands above the belt and don’t ruffle any feathers, Coulson understands. Clint needs to ground himself with another person right now, as the adrenaline letdown happens and he crashes.

It’s the best relationship he’s ever had.  He doesn’t even care that there’s no sex and there isn’t going to be any. Okay, that’s a little bit of a lie, but it’s a trade off. The emotional security is better, and he’s got two hands that work just fine.

“There’s someone I’d like you to meet,” Phil says, and Clint can hear the nervousness masquerading as kindness in his voice.

“Every time you say that I usually end up disappointed or end up shooting them,” Clint groans out, “Wait, does that make it sound like I get disappointed because I’m not shooting them? Because that’s totally not true.”

He feels Phil’s back tense up, “It’s not that type of meet.”

Oh, right. Phil has this thing about how he knows he’s not going to meet all of Clint’s needs and that maybe Clint should find someone else for that part. Clint’s not unopposed, but he’s trying to wrap his head around the concept that this isn’t cheating or him fucking up. So Clint put Phil in charge of it, setting him up with men or women that might have what he’s looking for.

Coulson must have very high standards for Clint, and what he believes Clint deserves, much higher than what Clint think — there hasn’t been anyone yet.

“Her name is Laura. She’s an analyst for a logistic company that I met while laying groundwork for another mission. She’s — a little like me, but not quite.”

“I don’t want to replace you,” Clint says quietly, because he does have some decorum. This is an airplane after all. But this is a thing he promised he’d try, so he sighs, “She understands us?”

“Very well.” Coulson leans into Clint, “I like her, and I think you might too. Headstrong, sweet.”

Man, y’all, I really really want to like...

I hear you. I, myself, find the acting a bit wooden which is distracting me from the overall violence. That and Daredevil’s Dread Pirate Roberts hood… That’s distracting, too. Gah, I’m such a dork. :P

I mean. There’s a lot that I would otherwise enjoy, seriously. I’m intrigued by Matt, and I enjoy Foggy, and Fisk is over the top scary. But I really don’t need to see someone’s broken arm bone showing through their skin, or listen to someone get decapitated by a car door. The soundtrack is basically full of breaking bones and squelching... bits.

It’s such a small thing - flecks of sparkly sand and ruddy clay left in an unapologetic trail of Natasha’s exhausted exit - but it’s the last thing. The last bit of chaos, the last bit of disorder, the last lingering clue of pain and heartbreak and even, perhaps, the smallest seed of despair. Clint sheds his clothes as he abandons his farewell vigil at the door and his too-tight synthetics fall freely to the cottage floor with only a moment’s wrestling. He taps the power buttons on his hearing aids as he collapses into the couch and welcomes the silence in a way he only can when he knows Coulson is nearby.
