K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc? Tbh Amenadiel 🥺I love him so much and his growth was so complicated!! Also Yennefer is the love of my life and I can’t wait to see more from her!! 

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. Bonus answer for you: Trobed!!!!!!!! And Jitta!!!!! Should be endgame

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom? High-key obsessed with the idea of Jaskier & Renfri being feral bastard buddies. 

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what? Okay idk if this counts but in the good ole days I had this stupid headcanon where Kent set mac n cheese on fire in the microwave and apparently people noticed I was always put it into my fics and wondered where it came from xD (The answer is that this caused multiple fire alarms to go off in my undergrad dorm. There was a whole PSA about it. Was this not a universal college experience for people? Was my alma mater, specifically, filled with people who routinely forgot to put water in the Easy Mac?)

N - Name three things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice). Why do you want me to get in trouble for saying controversial things today? 

Jaskier being a bastard/competent without being directly violent. I’m talking, like, him stirring shit without having to lift a finger himself. Not being bothered by the sight of blood anymore but still whining when it gets on his nice clothes. Refusing to throw a punch because he can’t risk compromising his ability to play the lute, Geralt, you fight that angry spouse in my stead. Turning the opinion of a room against someone instead of stabbing the guy who insulted Geralt!

Yennefer/Renfri. Why didn’t I mention them in my fave ships answer?? I’m a fool. I want all the Yenfri content, it’s such a good ship!! 

More pre-canon stuff about Geralt’s life tbh. Like his early life as a Witcher before Kaer Morhen was sacked, and/or the direct aftermath of the sacking, which would be angsty as fuck but also--I feel like I haven’t seen a lot of content exploring what that was actually like for everyone and it had to be so formative in a really horrible way.

reaver doing what he does best: taking out the trash.

bonus ‘omw to wreck a fuck boy’:

You saw an opportunity and by God you took it, and I respect that :P

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites. Why do you make me choose between my children

Renfri of Creyden: UGH. Ugh. Renfri, the feral princess bastard baby of my heart. I love everything about her. I love how fiercely angry she is. I love that she doesn’t let anyone take that away.  I love that (for me) the tragedy of her anger is honored in the narrative. I want endless good things for her. I want to give her a happy ending without invalidating who she is! I think constantly about how her potential “monstrosity” is framed, and how we don’t have to answer the question in order to value her.

Linda Martin: Listen. I just. Really admire Linda as a person (not necessarily as a therapist lol, we all know the first half of season 1 especially was sketch). But like, the way she views the world is so beautiful and resilient and curious!! Her entire worldview came crashing to the ground when she found out her patient was the literal Devil and her response was to freak out a little, then cobble something back together that was even more beautiful and nuanced and get the fuck back to work. She is so, so human in a really lovely way.

Prince Zuko: Okay like, Zuko’s redemption arc was a major formative influence on me and I am just. So, so proud of him. The love between him and Iroh brings me to tears on the regular. I love how hard Zuko was trying, from the very beginning, to be a good person, and how messy and terrible it was for him to realize that he wasn’t being one--that capturing the Avatar and helping his father’s bloodthirsty imperialism would put him on the wrong side of history. That he deserved to be loved and needed to start looking for it in better places! *cries forever*

V - Which character do you relate to most? Since we’re talking about ATLA: Katara, def x.x

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms? odufihgosdfhgusodgfh The Raven Cycle, definitely. I also have a few mutuals who are super into the Twilight Renaissance, which is cool! And you are personally responsible for my secondhand knowledge of Leverage :P 

odfsughogh oh my GOD Liz xD 

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why? ...I think blaming Tumblr for my messy breakup with OMGCP doesn’t give enough credit to certain issues I took with the latter half of the plot and meta commentary by the creator, but being sick of the Parse discourse sure didn’t help lol

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t. I totally get what people love about Calanthe/Eist, and I feel like I’m almost into it but I’m not.

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will. Lucifer/Ellla, sorry :( Lucifer & Ella is great! Also, you know this but Jeff/Annie from Community. Ugh.
