#thanks!!!!!!!!!!

send me a character

first impression: cool name. thought it was ironic that gore gets gored. love that for him. i remember clocking his patience with goodsir when he asks to help with the sledge but didn't think much beyond that at the time.

impression now: i like him a lot. love that he seems so friendly to everyone! he's cute i like his little pom pom hat. seems like he was probably a very good leader, plus having that polar experience helped i'm sure. sad that he died so early fr

favorite moment: yeah i'm still fond of that little moment with goodsir. especially after the book (i know i said i didn't read it--i started the audiobook and did not get far at all. but) the contrast of goodsir's personality and this moment specifically... i dunno. it highlighted something not just between them but. gore seems very patient with him and i just think he's cool ):

unpopular opinion: i don't think i have one? i wish he showed up a little more in fanfiction/fanart in general. it would be fun to see him fleshed out more. although truthfully that might be on me because i don't seek that out for him specifically very much.

favorite relationship: goodgore is cute. so valid

Ahhhhhh TYSM Birdy!!!!

everyone is enraptured by my horrible beasts

favorite color: blue (she’s like a girl to me)

currently reading: nothing atm but next on the chopping block is natsume sōseki’s sanshirō

last song: currently listening to “i cover the waterfront” by charles daisey & friends, need the smooth jazz to mellow out the desire for violence

last series: do you mean tv? i still need to finish angel beats…

last movie: i think it’s a few weeks ago when i watched the elvis biopic with @tall-dark-and-jazzy

sweet/savory/spicy: savory i guess? i’m mostly partial to sour above anything really

currently working on: recovering from the burnout of working full time then immediately going back home (bad) i want to go back to working on my game, but i don’t have the energy to draw or write ):

fic here

doing this one first bc it’s easy peasy

company: it’s the show that made me fall in love with sondheim’s work and its just so fucking good?? like it’s funny but it also breaks your heart every time. the amount that i quote company to myself on a daily basis is insane. like, “you have to want to marry SOMEBODY, not just SOME BODY” just makes me sooooo crazy thanks steve and george.

pacific overtures: sorry passion girlies but the number 2 spot goes to povertures. i mean being a huge fan of japanese history, especially the latter part of the 19th century (meiji era) helps a lot. it’s also just another phenomenal work from steve (the rhymes are so tight) and the way the musical and lyrical style evolves to match the dance between east and west is just so 👌👌👌

passion: we all love to clown on passion, but after putting my soul through the meat grinder, it really changed me as a person in a way that i can’t say about many other media. it speaks to a lot of really really deep seated emotional issues i have and have had. particularly feelings about love and what it means to “deserve” love and to have desire. that thing that we call “love”, which had always seemed like such an impossibility for me now seemed like something attainable. it also released a lot of my fears about trying to be a more likable/desirable/“normal” person. like actually, i don’t have to be… *gestures vaguely* anything at all.

follies: tough choice after the top 3, but i put follies here because it’s sad and i love sad shit. no it’s actually because the tragedy of follies is comes from the characters’ humanity. every mistake, every regret is just so deeply human. i always listen to the 1971 album compared to the more complete versions since i think the orchestrations are truly incredible. played on vinyl this album is sooooo crazy.
