Timetraveling Narnian

Friend! <3

******

1. I once high-fived Michael Douglas, for those of you old enough to know who he is.

2. I broke my back when I was 16.

3. If I eat cheese I come out in hives.

4. My first ever publication was a story in Smash Hits! magazine about meeting Nicky From Westlife. I was 14.

5. I got married in the second largest castle in Europe.

answers below the cut to keep this from getting too long

I really love baking and want to set up my own bakery in the future!

I’m a total look-at-the-moon person.

I’m a dancer! I do Belly Dancing and Tribal Fusion mostly.

I don’t like carrots.

I can sing like Jiggly Puff!

I’m a photographer (hence my username!) I’ve had my own self-employed business for 11 years 😁

I love singing! I’ve been singing pretty much my entire life.

I play Dungeons and Dragons 😁 I think it’s super fun and I play with 2 groups on Tuesdays and Saturdays

I collect Funko Pop dolls…a little obsessively…I currently have 71 😅😅

I make fan videos and I’ve mostly done the Hobbit trilogy and the SW sequel trilogy. They’re all on YouTube!

1. I have a soft spot for children, and I’m kind of known in my family to often take care of them

2. I love helping others with translation! I can pull off being an interpreter, but I’d rather translate among friends and family

3. This is cheesy, but I’ve liked the same guy for 5 years, almost 6. He liked me too at some point, I later found out, but we’re both too shy to say anything dammit XD

4. I have plans to go to New York these upcoming years! We’re building a headquarters over there for my religion and I’m hoping to volunteer if they’ll have me☺

5. This is weird, but I’m BARELY just starting on taking care of my curly hair more. I was always insecure on how big and thick my hair is, but over the years I learned to embrace it, especially now with my family saying my hair color is a lot like my deceased grandfather, who I love very much. I want to carry on that little legacy hehe

I might do a face reveal soon, so you’ll see!😉

there’s nothing much to know about me so i’m gonna struggle with this :’))

1. i never had a nosebleed! i don’t hydrate that much so my lips are chapped 76% of the time, but i’ve never had a bloody nose.

2. i never broke a bone yet! i play sports like volleyball and swimming and the most i would get from it is bruises!

3. i only watched star wars in the summer of 2020! and the movies weren’t the thing that attracted me to the fandom: it was the clone wars!

4. when i have a crush…let’s just say i fall hard. i had a crush on someone for 2-3ish years in middle school and holy shit there was even an 100+ paged doc story written about it in sixth grade -

5. i’m most productive at night (very late night)! i realized this in the middle of the covid school year when i wrote my english speech essay on my bed when i was supposed to be sleeping at 12am :)

1. I’m half German! Unfortunately, though, I don’t speak German very well (although I could speak/understand more when I was a kid… ich lerne 🥺)

2. I have a pretty intense and eclectic mug collection. I feel like an old grandmother because I hardly ever use more than one or two specific ones because the rest are too precious haha

3. I’m considering getting bangs, but I’m not sure… I’m constantly going back and forth regarding if I want them at all, and if I do, I don’t know which type I want!

4. I had pretty short hair all throughout high school (like a longer pixie cut I guess? It wasn’t buzzed or anything, but it was still short) which makes my indecision about bangs kind of ridiculous… I had bangs with my short hair for a while but with long hair?? Hmmm idk

5. I don’t like driving and it makes me very anxious, but ever since I got my own car a couple months ago, I’ve been doing a lot better about not being so stressed out before/during a drive :)

1) Before my current position, I was a ghostwriter! In that time, I wrote about 200 articles and some of the publications “I” got published in include Forbes, Digiday and Search Engine Journal. Most of the stuff I wrote ended up on client blogs though. I unfortunately cannot prove any of this because, by nature of the job, my name is not attached to any of the articles. 

2) I’m half Spaniard, and while I’m not 100% fluent in Spanish, I’m good enough at it to understand it completely and get around a Spanish speaking country with it. 

3) When I was little, I had blue eyes and curly red hair. Now, I have green eyes and straight blonde hair. I don’t know what happened. 

4) Remember how I said I was a ghostwriter? Well, some of my articles performed so well, they are/were the top result when you search for their specific topic. Some of them even have featured snippets on Google (those little pop out text boxes at the top). It’s not ranking anymore, but for a while an article I wrote about carbon monoxide poisoning was ranked highest for that search query and got about 3,000 views a day. 

5) My favorite color is blue. I just thought you should know that. 

I play 6 (???? I lose track) musical instruments

I’m the height of an average baby giraffe

I once sang for the Pope

I started getting white hairs when I was literally 19, I have so many of them now it’s almost noticeable

I’m currently obsessed with mocha mint iced coffee which is really an awful thing for me to be obsessed with

1. I can understand 5 languages (and speak 3 ½ of those lol)

2. I help teach kindergartners at my local mosque :) I love working with them even if some of them Drive Me Insane :’)

3. I’m a full five feet tall 🥰 an actual hobbit of this earth

4. I hate nail polish with a passion (it just doesn’t cooperate like ever)

5. I’ve never broken a bone, surprisingly! Although given the kinds of injuries I’ve sustained, I should be a bag of bones right now

1. I was at this church event earlier this summer and there was an Olympics. I hate sports so I went with entering the Trivia event-thing with my friend. And we won it all! We bet all of the other teams and, yes, I am still very proud of it.

2. I watch either Corpse Bride (yes, Emma ;)) or Scarlet Pimpernel every Sunday.

3. For some reason I am terrified of heights?? I don’t know why. When I was younger, I just absolutely hated them after learning my dad had a fear of heights. When I first rode on the Tower of Terror at Disney World, I had nightmares for months afterwards.

4. I don’t like Sarah Brightman as Christine Daae. You can’t convince me otherwise. I don’t like her.

5. Math is my worst enemy and will always be. Which sounds jokey, but it has literally ruined a few things for me. Because I am so bad at it, it’s lowered my self-esteem. In a few years, I’ll look back and I’ll think, “Oh, that wasn’t so bad,” but math has seriously made me feel awful before. I can’t really get it into words.

1. I have an infinite love for the 1920s (like, crazy). I love swing music, the fashion, everything, and I adore the show Peaky Blinders mainly for this reason.

2. I have three tattoos

3. I ADORE Banksy.

4. I’m a Cancerian❤️so yes I am emotional

5. I’ve lived for eight months in Italy, 4 months in France and 2 months in Denmark. I live in the Netherlands so it makes it wonderfully easy to travel !

1. For some strange reason the activity button on my account hasn’t been working properly for ages, so if I don’t respond to you please know that I have nothing against you, I just literally don’t know that you’re trying to interact with me

2. Harry Potter was my introduction to fandoms and I’ve been obsessed ever since

3. I was born in a military hospital

4. I love stories. It doesn’t matter if it’s how you were introduced to a certain fandom, or if I’m reading a book or fanfiction or those sort of but not really fanfictions that people post here on tumblr, I love it all

5. In my most humble opinion, hardcover is the best version of a book

1. I'm a below knee amputee. I lost my leg to a bone disease when I was about 4.

2. I'm a weirdo. I was never good at making friends, and it may be because I don't really fit in. I'm hoping to find a community that accepts me for being me.

3. People are terrible at guessing my age. Waitresses assume I'm young enough for a kids' menu, and people at my church think I'm my 50yo dad's wife (I do nothing to make them think this).

4. I love to sing.

5. I am obsessed with frugality.

King Edmund the Ambidextrous

Can we just take a moment to appreciate what a skilled and savage swordsman Edmund is?  He’s like no I don’t need a shield, I slash the enemy with two swords, thank you very much.  I can just imagine some of the Narnian generals initially underestimating this smaller, quieter king and then being impressed when he goes out and whips up on trained infantrymen.
