For the writing asks i would like to know 1, 16 and 35 or just one of those if all are too much
1. What font do you write in? Do you actually care or is that just the default setting?
I write in Arial! It's the default setting, though I had a long time where I wrote in exclusively Calibri and got very upset when it for some reason wasn't set to be that. Then I stopped writing for a while and apparently that reset the brain, and now it's Arial gfdhsj
(not the default, and very important to me, is the gaps between paragraphs. literally will not write past a paragraph before enabling that if I forgot before, it's too blocky otherwise and I need it for the brain)
16. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark?
Oh, I think I'm pretty tame in that regard? My current bookmarks are an actual paper bookmark (space, in blue/ purple) and a long expired coupon for an etsy shop I once bought earrings from. In uni times I often used pens or highlighters as bookmarks though, when I had to flip between many sections quickly, because those leave a gap I can quickly slip my fingers into! But otherwise I don't remember any particularly weird bookmarks, I mostly just use the nearest clean flat something that's available!
35. What’s your favorite writing rule to smash into smithereens?
I think there's a rule about not starting sentences with like "and" or "but" and stuff? I'm so ready to break and ignore rules I'm not even sure about the details fghdjs (plus the differences between German and English grammar - fuck if I know)
There's just a difference between like, academic writing (which I never want to do again, jfc) and creative writing - the latter is a medium to toy with to begin with! But now that I'm remembering academic writing, god. One time we got to write an essay where we didn't have to hide that yes, this is our opinion and we are in fact a person writing this and not a perfectly objective computer. I immediately just turned the whole thing into a bit and that's why I once had to reference a youtube comedy sketch in APA style <3
And oh, actually! I just remembered I take so many liberties in terms of compound words and capitalization, where German brain comes through. Like night vision I hate that it's two words, I say nightvision because it looks better to me, and I won't stop, same with any other suddenly-a-compound-word words, don't mind that read along <3
