Hilary Hahn performs Bach’s E Major and A Minor Violin Concertos in Switzerland. Hugely enjoyed watching this.

Very glad to see violinist Hilary Hahn has updated her Youtube channel with an introductory video. Hahn is currently on a sabbatical, but had not been active on the channel for a while, so clearly intends to update more often. Good news for those who enjoy her performances.

Downton Abbey is great, but the way they treat some of the characters makes me so upset, like Bates. D:

yes im loving all the characters and the sets like it’s such a pretty show but frick it’s so frustrating sometimes. just poor, poor bates. :(

Roy x Riza!

alrighty, this'll be interesting! haha

when of if I started shipping it. - probably after having seen the show a couple of times and hearing that others shipped it? WAIT NO nope I was wrong it was when I was watching for th first time and riza gets sliced and roy gives her the coziest protective hug in the world goodness that moment is the most important

my thoughts: probably the reason I forgot about that moment though was because I've never been the most invested in them, like I care about them a lot of course (or, you know, reasonably so! enough to give me some feelings) but I tend to focus a lot more on the non military folk. 

What makes me happy about them: their completely individual choices to care about and follow the other person and that they help each other feel even more confident in their path and stuff

What makes me sad about them: that their relationship started out so suckishly. (I really don't like Riza's dad and I feel like that ties in but I don't really know how to put it...I mean he was Roy's teacher so. ) I mean I don't even know if that's really how it started out but it just seems like the beginning of their history together was full of a lot of sad moments of figuring out that the military actually was terrible and the awful things that can be done

things done in fanfic that annoys me: I am very much not into them being super sexy with each other...I don't really read any fic for them but I know that that's a pretty big thing with most ships and from fanart I can tell this one isn't excluded, and I just don't think it's in character at all?

things I look for in fanfic: no fic!

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: oh dang. um. I do not have an answer to this because they are soul mates. 

My happily ever after for them: I like the idea of them having a family and stuff but I also think the canon ending for them is completely okay and good and stuff.

who is the big spoon/little spoon: Roy/Riza

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: being weirdly flirty while doing their jobs, haha, like not even making innuendos just, very obviously flirting while not...I have NO idea how to explain this but basically the same exact thing they do the ENTIRE time in the actual story of fma except maybe more so? I unno haha somefin like that

Game of Thrones (assuming you know nothing about it)

hahaha well I don't watch it, so there's that! alrighty, here we go, this may get messy

there are lots of families, that have special names like stark, and they're all fighting over a chair that looks like a bunch of swords welded together, or rather, the "throne". ummm lets see lots of violence (especially against women hmmm that's what i herd with perd) and people die a lot, also there's a dragon queen with lots of baby dragons on her shoulders...everyone and they're mother and brother has acted in it, and I think that's all I got!

The Lion King, which incidentally came out the year I was born. :D Do I even need to explain why?

EVERYTHING. Srsly I comfort eat like a champ. But mainly chocolaty things.
