[curiosity-killed]

14, 15, 26. (I love this ask set, some of it is so normal and some of it is truly bonkers batshit bizarre)

It is so chaotic 😂 ideal honestly

14. do you think you’re dehydrated?

the irony of this is that I refilled my home waterbottle right before moseying to bed to write and I have neither had any of the water nor written anything. So probably a lil bit!

15. rank the methods of death: freezing, burning, drowning

This is terrible and I hate it. Burning -> freezing -> drowning

We talked a fair amount in my freshman (HS) lit class about how quickly you pass out when being burned alive so. I will just hope that is true!

26. how’s your spice tolerance?

So according to my family’s tolerance, it’s very bad. Also based on the way I react to eating, touching, or breathing near them, I’m probably allergic to peppers. According to not-my-immediate-and-sort-of-weirdly-judgmental??-family it’s medium-ish. I tend to tap out somewhere in the north range of habaneros or scotch bonnets (but get a skin reaction from anything above jalapeños >:( )

random specific asks

[kingedmundsroyalmurder]

3, 16, 21?

3: a specific color that gives you the ick?

A lot of yellow-y greens. I couldn't tell you why, specifically, but the chartreuse family and I are not friends.

16: thoughts on mint chocolate chip?

Already answered! Continues to be an excellent flavor (and a much nicer shade of green, for that matter.)

21: a number that weirds you out?

This is a hard one. I've never been one to form attachments to numbers (I don't have either a favorite or a lucky number). I guess the concept of Prime numbers, especially when you start getting up there, is wild when you think about it for too long. What do you mean this three plus digit number literally divides by nothing other than 1 and itself? How is that even possible? And yet, somehow, it is.

untamed asks!! 42, 4, and for a weird hyper-specific 2: who would Wen Zhuliu be in a baking show AU?

thank you thank you!

2: who would Wen Zhuliu be in a baking show AU? ksaljkdasf your MIND. my initial answer is the impartial but completely no-nonsense judge. that said. wen zhuliu, completely deadpan, kneading bread. always gets the perfect lamination with his butter-melting hands.

4: best symbolism oh I was literally just thinking about how much I love nie huaisang bringing the canary into the lecture at cloud recesses with meng yao standing right behind him. chef's kiss.

42: favorite female character I'm sure this is everybody's answer but wen qing, my beloved<3 love a take-no-shit female bestie

ask me untamed questions!

hey sarah! if you could take an imaginary (and therefore non-infectious) roadtrip right now, but it had to stop only in places you'd never been before, where would you go?

I’ve only been west of the Mississippi once, and that was to visit Las Vegas---which, once was enough for that particular city. But I’d love to head west and see things that aren’t Las Vegas. 

I don’t even know if there’s something in particular I’d like to see, though of course there are things like the Grand Canyon I might feel obligated to stop at. But my favorite experiences from my mini-roadtrip through Kentucky were the surprising ones: tiny museums I stopped at and nameless towns I got lost in; when I was rained out of the campground and ended up staying at a hotel in Berea, and learning about the college’s radical history. I’d love to replicate that experience on a much bigger scale---maybe pick an endpoint and some places in between to stay or camp, but leave the rest up to chance and the whim of the moment.

I do think I’d like to see some more mountains. I hear they’ve got those out west.

i'M SORRY DID YOU SAY TARSUS IV AU FT GRUMPY BIG BROTHER BONES AND MIND WIPES. FUCK

MMMM YES I DID :3c

okay so I started writing this like. right after STID I think, when angst was high and I read so many tarsus fics there’s one that I absolutely adored but it’s still.....unfinished...........bedtime stories author, if you’re out there-- and had to do one of my own lmao

looking it back over, it needs soooo much work, but in short, jim and spock end up on tarsus iv at the same time, deal w all the shit, spock has his memories wiped later bc ~trauma~, jim ends up back on earth in georgia and is causing all sorts of problems, bones saves him after a fight and nurses him back to health :’) and then grumpily big brothers him until the academy. lots of shenanigans, lots of angst, but soft at other points!!

9 and 22 for the book asks, if you haven't had them yet!!

9. If you had to be shoved into a book only armed with what you know about the universe and nothing else, which book would you choose?

Hmmm maybe the Temeraire series? I know a lot about that world AND I could get a talking dragon to fly around on, so that would be something! A historical world with just a little bit of fantasy might do just the trick. 

22. Music or no music while reading? Classical, ambient noise, or pop?

Depends! If I’m at home reading like on the couch or in bed, I usually am not listening to music. But if I’m say, on the train, I do listen to music, but almost always some kind of instrumental something or the other, like a movie score, so I’m not distracted by the lyrics. 

[the-wandering-whumper]

TAT: when the character isn't unconscious, but they also aren't THERE. the pain's so bad and has gone on so long that they're just dazed, barely responsive. maybe they're lying crumpled in the mud after a blow to the head, blinking, trying to will themselves to get up and help their friends fight. or maybe it's the last lashes of a whipping they're tied up for, and only tiny grunts and shudders with the last of their energy let their enemies know they can still feel it.

Now that’s some amazing whump!
