sent to me by the beautiful and talented @fluffysheepexperienceindignity (sorry this took me literal weeks)
1. if someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?
read: sorry but i cant think of anything at all
listen to: my spotify playlists or mcr's entire discography
2. have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?
no.. i don't think so but i honestly don't read enough... although miss sia of ao3 balustrade fame has written some bangers in our dms that have perfectly synthesized my thoughts
3. list your fandoms and one character from each that you identify with.
buddyfight - kyoya & rouga, inside my there are two wolves. one of them is kyoya, the other one is rouga. im fucked.
death note - 😬 light & mello
les mis - enjolras (for all the wrong reasons)
iasip - a terrible mix of charlie and dennis
adventure time - b-mo & marceline
4. do you like your name? is there another name you think would fit you better?
i don't like my birth name tbh bc it's very common and i don't really identify with it,, so i chose to go by my initials!! AJ yayyy
5. do you think of yourself as a human being or a human doing? do you identify yourself by the things you do?
idk & im perhaps a little too stupid to understand this, but i would say no? i think if u put me in solitary confinement with no access to any hobbies or activities i would still have a strong identity even if i couldn't put it into words
6. are you religious/spiritual?
neither, ive been an atheist pretty much all my life but im super interested in spirituality and all religions as an observer!
7. do you care about your ethnicity?
umm not really? im a white american so i kind of dont have much to care about aside from hot dish and cornhole.
my mom's half native but i didn't grow up around any indigenous people (my grandfather refused to meet me...) so i just see myself as white
8. what musical artists have you most felt connected to over your lifetime?
ive listened to grunge my whole life bc of my dad so im super connected to nirvana <3
also mcr ofc (i've seen them twice, each time around my birthday so we r connected somehow)
and cake... oh my god. the way they write is probably one of my biggest inspirations. some of my earliest memories are listening to sheep go to heaven & never there on my mom's ipod.
i make art so i suppose i am
not really? before they've proven they don't deserve it, i believe in putting other people's needs over my comfort. i can only hope to be the best friend you ever have <3
11. describe your ideal day.
talking to my best friends and playing games or drawing all day
12. dog person or cat person?
dog person :3 but i love cats even tho im allergic
the outdoors is so much better for me, more beautiful, more fulfilling, etc. however, i hate the heat and i don't want to talk to strangers.
nope,, i gave up on every instrument i ever started
15. five most influential books over your lifetime.
their eyes were watching god - zora neale hurston
flowers for algernon - daniel keyes
no longer human - osamu dazai
eat only when you're hungry - lindsay hunter
16. if you'd grown up in a different environment, do you think you'd have turned out the same?
oh my, not The Question...
i actually think about this so often because i was really close with my cousins when i was little growing up in super rural minnesota. my parents moved us to florida when i was about 6, so every time i would go up to visit my cousins we would be more and more different. i visited them this december (we are all around the same age) and they are nothing like me anymore. we have nothing in common. so i wonder if i had grown up there, would i be like that?
idk... i hope the answer is no even though being how i am has been pretty difficult. but i think it's also quite likely that in practice everyone would be different in a different environment.
17. would you say your tumbir is a fair representation of the "real you"?
ermmm yes i hope? i think my tumblr shows the part of me i suppress - annoying & obsessive (with love) but also authentic. i think thru my tumblr u have a great idea of who i am
18. what's your patronus?
i forgot what i got on the test in middle school but i think it was an otter
19. which Harry Potter house would you be in? or are you a muggle?
ok i got slytherin when i was younger so ive always identified with that,, but as ive grown up.... it does feel sort of weird to be in the house that had like ALL the wizard nazis in it...
20. would you rather be in Middle Earth, Narnia, Hogwarts, or somewhere else?
i didn't read the first two and hogwarts seemed to have a lot of danger so just put me in buddyfight. yeah, ill fix kyoya.
i trust very easily which makes me love easily - a curse
22. list the top five things you spend the most time doing, in order.
scrolling on phone, sleeping, drawing, writing, facetime with ongstoes
23. how often would you want to see your family every year?
i always feel bad when i only see my family once a year or so but then i go there and i remember why i don't want to be there. im scared that when i hve kids they will be distant from their family just like i said they never would be, but i would also never let my child go to my grandma or my parents houses alone bc im afraid they would go baptize them or something. well anyway, now that im moving again ill probably only see them once a year.
24. have you ever felt like you had a "mind-meld" with someone?
if that means what i think it means then yes.. me and my bestie ongstoes don't even have to finish our sentences anymore
25. could you live as a hermit?
yes absolutely especially with phone and computer
