PUT A “∞” IN MY ASK BOX AND I’LL SHUFFLE MY MUSIC PLAYER AND GIVE YOU MY FAVORITE LYRIC FROM THE SONG THAT COMES UP

----

Elephant - Tame Impala

He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac 'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back

(This lyric has lived rent free in my head since this song came out, it's so stupid but it compels me...)

13:One of your favorite 80’s songs

Thank you!!! <3 <3 <3

[Song Asks]

So firstly on trying to think of something, my brain decided it had apparently never heard a song ever, and every song I thought was from the 80's on my main playlist is either Super Not or so barely I don't really think of it as 80's, so this was hard but we're gonna go with...

[Blue Monday by New Order]

When I got my very first phone that could use actual songs as a ringtone, this was the song I picked and it stayed as my ringtone for years.

1, 2, 3, 5, 6 for the song asks! :D

AAAA omg thank you! :D

[SONG ASKS]

A song you like with a color in the title

[Purple Eyes - The Knocks ft. Phoebe Ryan] - This is already harder than I expected, I have too many to choose from, but this is the one I thought of first! I may or may not have created an OC inspired by this song at one point.

2. A song you like with a number in the title

[III - Foster the People] - I was torn between this and 2AM by Bear Hands, but this is one of my favorite songs for just kind of vibing to. Definitely a lot less of these to choose from than songs with colors!

3. A song that reminds you of summertime

[The Way - Fastball] - This is not just summertime, but childhood summertime specifically. I don't know if it's just because it was everywhere on the radio during a very formative couple of summers for me or what, but this will always be a summer song.

5. A song that needs to be played LOUD

[These Black Claws - VOLA ft. Shahmen] - Firstly this could apply to literally the whole album, but I just LOVE IT!!! It's incredible from start to finish. This is about as hard as my music taste goes nowadays, but it's so good!

6. A song that makes you want to dance

[Praising You - Rita Ora ft. Fatboy Slim] - omfg I struggled to narrow this one down, but we're just gonna pick one and go with it! I like this, also this is pretty typical for what I'm listening to like 99% of the time I'm playing Crucible. 🙃

2, 4, 14, 16!

[Weirdly Specific and Unrelated Asks]

2. thoughts on veganism

It's fine for other people, but not something I'm particularly interested in for myself full time. That said, I love being able to make good food for my friends, so that's where basically all of my vegan cooking experience comes from and I can make a mean vegan GF fruit tart!

4. mythical creature you think/believe is real?

Probably sea serpents/sea monsters of some kind, both because there's so much we just don't know about the ocean and because I just think they're neat!

14. do you think you’re dehydrated?

Probably, BUT! I've been making a conscious effort to drink more water, so I'm definitely less dehydrated than I probably have been before. Getting a cute water bottle that I like looking at has definitely helped more than I thought it would!

16. thoughts on mint chocolate chip?

Delicious! Very good, even if it's not the flavor I go to first. I'm not big on chocolate so just plain mint is better.

10 and/or 13 for the Guardian asks? I love the care you put into your answers, they're a joy to read ^^

[Guardian Asks]

gosh!!! I’m so glad you like them! ;o; I love chattering about my guardians, so thank you for indulging me!

10: What does your Guardian do to relax? Do they ever relax?

Davor (Warlock): Not counting drowning his stress in partying and frivolous spending, Dav likes painting, both traditionally and digitally on his datapad. He doesn’t share a lot of it, but it helps him enjoy some calm moments.

Adrian (Titan): Adrian doesn’t have a ton of hobbies, mostly just because out of all of them he spends the most time actively working in the tower with the least free time. While he doesn’t consider it a real hobby, he does like working out and the calm that comes after a good, satisfying weight lifting session.

Chelidon-4 (Hunter): Chel LOVES tinkering, either with guns or mods or just little trinkets. Taking something apart, learning how it works, and putting it back together, or the creativity that comes with building something entirely new is a thrill they absolutely love. When they have the time and the glimmer, they like visiting arcades in the city to play games, but also gaming on their datapad for a little bit of distraction when being in the city is overwhelming.

13. How does your Guardian show affection? Are they very free with their affection or is it typically reserved for a special few?

Davor: Davor is very reserved with his affection, and one of the biggest ways he does show it is with letting people see him when he’s not at his most composed and put-together. Once he’s that comfortable with someone, they’ve basically got a friend for life, but he can be extremely closed off otherwise.

Adrian: Adrian is very tactile with the people he’s close to, whether that’s a hand on someone’s back or a clap on the shoulder for friends, or getting to hold a romantic partner’s hand or snuggle close to them while relaxing. He loves touching and being touched!

Chelidon-4: Chel starts with gifts, not always the most personal or unique at first, but things they might notice someone needs or little things that might make them happy. The closer they get to someone, the more personal and--perhaps ironically--less useful the gifts get, more cute trinkets and less functional things.

18 for everyone

[Guardian Asks]

OMG thank you!! :D

18: Does your Guardian have any bad habits or vices?

Davor (Warlock): Dav’s worst habit is definitely his reaction to the existential dread that comes with living for so long and understanding all the threats bearing down on humanity and soothing that with bouts of borderline self-destructively intense pursuit of immediate pleasures. Whether it’s with food, or sex, or alcohol, or materialistic things, chasing that little thrill of happiness as a distraction instead of dealing with his anxieties in a healthier way does take a toll on him eventually, but he keeps going back to those same methods he knows to work for at least a little while.

Adrian (Titan): In an appropriately titan fashion, Adrian shoulders a lot of responsibilities, too much sometimes and impossible things that he couldn’t possibly have control over, then takes the hurt of failing very deeply when something inevitably slips, leading to a bit of a despair spiral he’s then got to climb out of. All that said, he’s become a master of putting on a brave face and outwardly appearing perfectly collected, even when he’s very much Not Okay.

Chelidon-4 (Hunter): Chel is flighty, even for a hunter, and any time spent in the highly populated Tower is too much for them. It doesn’t take long at all for them to disappear back into the wilds, or at least to someplace less crowded, making them somewhat hard to contact when they are needed. In addition, they enjoy small, cramped spaces and being high up, leading to some unsanctioned exploring into the vent systems of the tower and making nests in little hidden nooks that eventually have to be cleaned up.

14 for the Guardian asks? ^^

[Guardian Asks]

AAAAAAA Thank you!! :D

14. A Warlock has invited your Guardian to an hour of quiet group meditation; does that sound appealing to them? Would they go regardless?

Davor (Warlock): Davor would go regardless, and most of the time would be eager to mediate. The only time he might decline would be if the group included someone he strongly disliked to the point that he thought it might distract from his meditation, but even then he might still go anyway.

Adrian (Titan): Absolutely, yes! He’d be so excited just to be included, and very strongly believes that guardians of all classes can benefit from meditation, either introspective or communing with the Traveler. He already does some on his own pretty frequently, but that sense of community between classes would be pretty exciting for Adrian.

Chelidon-4 (Hunter): If the warlock in question was someone Chel knew personally (probably Davor, or another member of their usual fireteam), they’d probably go, but otherwise this is something they would prefer to do on their own time and their own terms. They aren’t especially interested in a lot of meditation, though, and tends to get fidgety when sitting still for too long.

[Lovely - Billie Eilish and Khalid]

I love the broody tone of this song so much!
