Any of my mutuals want to play a get-to-know-you game like it's 2016? 😅
@y2kbeautyandother2000sstuff @snowpaw23 @soundlessdragon @drfronkensteen @captainjackharknessconnoisseur
A: A favorite memory from before you were 12?
B: Current most valued possession?
C: Favorite beverages for morning, afternoon, and evening?
D: Favorite piece of art?
E: Ideal vacation, including location, weather, itinerary, and method of travel?
F: Favorite make-up item? (If make-up isn't your thing, this can also include lip balm or lotion.)
G: What does your normal daily outfit look like?
H: Your extended family is having a get-together and no one wants to cook-- what restaurant do you hope they picked?
I: Oh dear, your friend invited you to a costume party that starts in 3 hours and you completely forgot. What costume are you assembling from your closet?
J: Gas station stop-- what are you getting from the convenience store?
K: You're at the museum-- what exhibit are you dragging everyone to first?
L: Favorite piece of jewelry? (If jewelry isn't your thing, keychain?)
I am here, at last.
A: Watching the Lego Movie for the first time. Went in expecting a bloated commercial, walked out in tears with a profound understanding for myself.
B: Hmm... My hammered dulcimer. I don't have a ton of time to play it, but it's my baby.
C: Chai lattes and ginger beer (Cock 'n Bull brand specifically with half a fresh lime cut with the pulp shaved into it)
D: The Duet by Gerard ter Borch, and also literally any painting by Ivan Aivazovsky.
E: Oh, I got this. Perfectly ideal? Okay so wake up at like 5 am. Head to airport with a favorite stuffed animal (a carewere) and wearing a black dress with a white falling band collar. Oh yeah, we're doing this. I return to my old stomping grounds, Salem Massachusetts. The month is November, and the intense cringe-inducing Hocus Pocus themed slog has died down, and weather is dismal and dreary and rainy. I stand alone before the statue of Roger Conant, cursing whomever put up the fence around him. I spend a few days in Salem, brushing up on my Puritanical historical fascination for all the right and wrong reasons. I pay my respects. After that, I go to nearby Plymouth. I spend a week there, engaging in Thanksgiving. I return to the Plimoth Patuxet musem and submit a resume, of course, then I proceed to flirt again with the historical reenactors. I do some family-history research to connect to my lineage. I realize I'm a direct descendant of most of the people there, and therefore cease flirting with them. I then gather my belongings and fly to LA to visit Mike Hill. We watch Frankenstein and simultaneously glaze it and tear it apart. I try to explain to him my obsession with 1970s British actor David Warner, and he says he's too old for me. Mike Hill is my new father.
F: Deeply colored matte lipstick and glittering eyeshadow. Usually purple in shade.
G: Depends on what mood I'm in, I have several "looks", like a cartoon character. 1: Metalhead werewolf. Black pants with silver chains, a band/Frankenstein shirt, often of my own making. A torn flannel, unbuttoned. Long painted nails and makeup as mentioned prior. Shirt sometimes substituted for sleeves halter top. Think... Roxanne Wolf. That's me. 2: Puritan fetishist. Black/Earth tone dresses, white pilgrim collar of my own making. Hair plain and simple, tall white stockings, black shoes with buckles on the top. Might carry a Bible to feel superior to my foolish peers. 3: Jumanji escapee. The exact picture of a 1880s British explorer intent on tracking wild game in sub-saharan Africa. Handmade necklace of the blue gold beetles from The Mummy, white button down, khaki pants and tall black or brown boots. Appropriate, tasteful jewelry. Honestly, my most iconic look. Never seen anyone else irl who dresses like me.
H: I would rather stay home in the silence of my dungeon (basement full of craft supplies and musical instruments). If I must go, and we have the funds... Medieval Times. And we must dress appropriately.
I: Tch! What couldn't I make? I'm a cosplayer. Any of my Frankenstein creature cosplays usually take more than 3 hours to do the makeup on. I'm going with... genderbent RJ MacReady from John Carpenter's The Thing. I got that shi on lock.
J: A bottled tea of some kind and jerky. I prefer Mythical Meats brand, but those are rather hard to come by. Rarer than the critters they're made from.
K: What kind of museum? Salem witch museum? We going to the Roger Conant statue out front, I need to kiss it. Natural History museum? Where the dinosaurs at? Regular history museum? Ancient Egypt, though the proximity to the mummies sometimes makes my sense for the spiritual act up. War museum? American Revolution. The House of Frankenstein Museum in Bath, England? The life sized Frankenstein creature statue with the breathing chest that I need to steal. Guillermo Del Toro's museum house? The other live sized Frankenstein creature statue that Mike Hill made and that I proposed to. I need to put the ring on his finger and have it stay there.
L: I have so many. I usually wear a necklace, some bracelets, and rings. I'll name a few. The small silver ring my mom made for me with the words "Scrooge and Marley" engraved on the band. Likewise, a white gold ring matching that reads "For Gondor". The golden lightning bolt necklace I made for myself years ago; works for Frankenstein and more. My Frankenstein 2025 color coded bead bracelet I made. Glass and stone, very comfortable. Shadow the hedgehog pendent necklace. The ultimate life form grants me strength. The Eddie Munson BC Rich Warlock guitar necklace. I actually have two of these in two different sized, a more subtle one and a larger one. I met him 4 years ago, yesterday. I miss him, immensely. Come back to me, Eddie.
I could go on forever. I love to talk about myself. I'm my second favorite conversation topic besides media I enjoy.
