11 Questions

Vaguely answered ;) I love these things though!! Thanks for tagging me @ooachilliaoo

Which of your scars has the best story behind it?

I don't really have many scars, and none of them have a good story or one I remember. Um I guess I have a little round one on my arm from last summer - I cut my arm open at a music festival I go to annually, on day one and it got so gross and infected by the end (Day 5) it scarred? Hahaha. I'm no badass 😜

If you could have any magical power, what would you choose and why?

Teleportation!!!! Hands down. Blipping anywhere on whim? YES PLEASE.

What’s your ultimate comfort food?

Pasta 😍😍😍

If you had access to a TARDIS where would you go?

So I have not actually seen Dr Who and am not entirely sure how a TARDIS works besides "time travel" haha - but assuming it's straightforward. I'd totally go visit dinosaurs.

What was the last book/movie/show/song you saw that made you want to personally thank the creators?

I actually never really think of media that way, but the last Arkells album has been in my regular rotation for months now so let's go with that.

Games of chance or games of skill?

Skill! I'm competitive af.

What’s your favourite quote?

Good question. I have a lot, but I really like this one from Alice in Wonderland: "I knew who I was this morning, but I've changed a few times since then."

And this one from the last unicorn is a long go-to fav of mine: "It's really not so good to have time. Rush, scramble, desperation, this missed, that left behind, those others too big to fit into such a small space — that's the way life was meant to be. You're supposed to be too late for some things. Don't worry about it."

If you had the opportunity to go to space, would you go?

100p. It's in my long term life plan! Get rich, go to space.

What’s something you dream of doing in the future?

See above; get rich, go to space. Also move overseas for awhile. Or somewhere outside of my own country. Costa Rica would be bomb. Or Iceland!

What mythical creature would you have as a pet?

Unicorn 🦄

What’s your Hogwarts house?

I am a bad nerd and not a Harry Potter fan, but I did sort myself once and it's Griffyndor. Did I even spell that right?? Anyway every house-related meme I've ever seen seems pretty accurate to me with that one so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My dad is almost to my house so I don't have time to tag or make questions but I will be back later today to do that part!!!

Winter/Christmas Writing Prompts

Okay, seeing as I couldn’t find a list I liked, I’m making my own, with a mix of dialogue and conceptual prompts because why not.

Feel free to prompt for any ship I’ve written, regardless of whether or not I’ve been writing them recently. Also, feel free to adapt the prompts to fit the universe better (like for SWTOR or DA or something).

“What do you mean we’re out of hot chocolate?”

cuddling by the fireplace

“You. Me. Snowman. Now.”

winter sport of your choice

“What’s that smell… are you making cookies?”

“Hey, no peeking!”

“You invited over HOW many people to the holiday party?!”

Christmas shopping

“Wait, did you spike the eggnog?”

“Where did all of this mistletoe come from?”

“I’m a grown adult. I don’t want to take a picture with Santa Claus.”

trimming the tree

“Your hands are freezing!”

“Aren’t you cold like that?”

“Seriously, I told you that you would get sick going out like that.”

“What do you mean you don’t want to go sledding?”

watching movies under a pile of blankets

snowball fight

“I swear to god, if you sing another goddamn Christmas carol…”

“Where on EARTH did you get that sweater?”

“How did you manage to get tangled up in tinsel?”

kissing in the snow

“Let’s go for a walk! No, we won’t freeze.”

“Here, let me help you with the scarf.”

spending time with family

“We’ve got a white Christmas!”

“Did you eat all of my holiday chocolate?”

“Where’s all of your holiday spirit, you Scrooge?”

opening presents

“You know, when you said ‘Christmas party,’ this isn’t what I was expecting.”

“Come on, just wear the Santa hat for a little bit?”

“There’s no way I’m letting you spend Christmas alone.”

“Hey, cut it out. It’s the holidays.”

“Nope. This is not happening. It’s CHRISTMAS.”

“Wait, you’re not going home for Christmas?”

“Oh come on, it’s just a tradition.”

stuck in a snowstorm

“You’re under the mistletoe so stop stalling and just kiss.”

“Just open the damn present.”

“Hey, stop laughing and put the damn topper on the tree already.”

“If you don’t go to sleep right now, Santa’s not coming.”

“I mean, I knew you had Christmas spirit but this is ridiculous.”

“What do you mean, Santa’s not real?!”

running into each other at the airport

“No, you’ll burn the house down.”

“It’s almost midnight.”

“This is not for holiday cheer. This is blackmail.”

“Did you seriously get me a pony for Christmas?”

“No more holiday movies. Please.”

“Those cookies were for Santa!”

“Look out! It’s icy!”

“I’d like the snow a lot more if I didn’t have to drive in it.”

“Why is it so cold?”

winter power outage

“You want to go to the mall now? ARE YOU CRAZY?”

“Shhhhh, don’t tell [pronoun of choice]!”

“Secret Santa? Really?”

“Ummm… Thank you very much for the fruitcake. I’m sure it’ll be, uh, delicious.”

“Wait, you mean this whole time, you hated peppermint?”

“I feel like there’s more frosting on you than on the gingerbread.”

“What are you doing with that mistletoe– oh.”

unexpectedly spending the holidays together

“But that carol doesn’t even make any SENSE!”

“I guess… this is when we kiss?”

“No, we’re not getting a puppy for Christmas. Stop. Asking.”

“You don’t put marshmallows in your hot chocolate? YOU HEATHEN.”

“You’re going to New York for New Year’s? Are you nuts?”

winter proposal

“So… what are your plans for New Year’s?”

“You’re perfectly welcome to kiss whomever you wa–”

“Do NOT throw that snowball or else!”

“Did everyone else come with a date?”

“Hey, want to help me get my parents off my ass about not having a date?”

“Don’t you have anything else spirited that isn’t as much of an eyesore?”

“Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, love.”

Fictional Kiss Prompts

So I borrowed a bunch of these fictional kisses from this post and made it up into a prompt list. Feel free to reblog of course!

breaking the kiss to say something, staying so close that you’re murmuring into each other’s mouths

moving around while kissing, stumbling over things, pushing each other back against the wall/onto the bed

kissing so desperately that their whole body curves into the other person’s 

throwing their arms around the other person, holding them close while they kiss

hands on the other person’s back, fingertips pressing under their top, drawing gentle circles against that small strip of bare skin that make them break the kiss with a gasp

lazy morning kisses before they’ve even opened their eyes, still mumbling half-incoherently, not wanting to wake up

routine kisses where the other person presents their cheek/forehead for the hello/goodbye kiss without even looking up from what they’re doing

being unable to open their eyes for a few moments afterward

one small kiss, pulling away for an instant, then devouring each other

staring at the other’s lips, trying not to kiss them, before giving in

when one stops the kiss to whisper “I’m sorry, are you sure you-” and they answer by kissing them more

a hoarse whisper “kiss me”

following the kiss with a series of kisses down the neck

starting with a kiss meant to be gentle, ending up in passion

a gentle “i love you” whispered after a soft kiss, followed immediately by a stronger kiss

when one person’s face is scrunched up, and the other one kisses their lips/nose/forehead

height difference kisses where one person has to bend do wn and the other is on their tippy toes

kisses where one person is sitting in the other’s lap

kisses meant to distract the other person from whatever they were intently doing

Would you ever do Sailor Moon art (or Dragon Age)?

Definitely Dragon Age! If I ever figure out "my" Inquisitor all the way (working on it) I will dray her haha. I would try Sailor Moon but that's not quite my drawing style so I'm not sure how well it would turn out but... I'd try!!

listen…you’ve won, okay? you’ve outsmarted her

[effervescible]

#does it ever break your heart because you can hear her say #why can’t i be enough #why can’t we be enough

FUCKING CONSTANTLY

And it breaks a little more because one reason she probably doesn’t actually say that is that she’s given up on getting an answer.
