thanks for the tag @aomitois! I love tag games, haven't done one in a while so I'm excited :P loved reading your detailed responses <3
tell me who your favourite music artist is . maybe one person maybe a band maybe u don't listen to music at all. maybe u listen to everything. tell me your favourite song at the moment then.
Omigosh, this is suchhhh a tough question!!! It's so hard for me to pick one, so in true blu fashion I'm listing multiple...I love Dua Lipa, her songs are fire and catchy and also did I mention she is literally hot as hell and has such a fine voice...I literally listened to the radical optimism playlist nonstop 2 summers ago and repeated the phase earlier this fall (and got to see her in concert for the first time!!). I also love NF, his music was my anthem everytime I was stressed or it was finals season in college. And I have to include my mans Franz Liszt and Frederic Chopin, I love their music, esp Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and all of Chopin's Etudes (often listen to this album played by Vladimir Ashkenazy when I am on the grind or just need to unwind)
I do kinda listen to a lot of genres so it just depends on what phase I'm in at the moment. Mostly pop, mandopop, kpop, classical, crnb these days, and my favorite song at the moment is 2019 by 某幻君， I have a playlist I've been listening to in the car (strategically named "bestie please let me merge" and so far I've had pretty good luck merging) and I often go to that song to start off my commute. I also love 海洋情人 by 顧三十, I often sing along with it cause it's catchy xD
I'm always open to listening to new music though, so feel free to send them my way! I discovered NF through a song my friend sent me :P
2. i feel like i know 90% of you because of orv but its been a hot minute since orv was our collective main fandom. obviously the impact is permanent but beyond that, what do you care about the most rn. what fandom/s are you in. it can be real world things too, maybe you're really into pottery, or uh. crocheting! maybe u have no fandom at all and it’s ocverse after ocverse. i get it. me too. update me on what things you like the best. yap about your interests.
Btw I just love the phrasing here with "obviously the impact is permanent" because yes, 100% agreed.
Tem, I'm pretty sure I met you through orv fandom, and I'm so glad I got to meet you! Also relatable in that it is my defining main fandom now, I definitely had a hugeee tower of god phase before orv but yeah, orv will always have me in its clutches. I need to catch up on tower of god so bad (I've been saying this for the past 3 years...) but I did meet someone irl recently who actually recognized the tower of god stickers on my water bottle which was such a pleasant surprise!
Also relate on needing to devour media often, and I do also have quite short obsessions with most of them lmao. I'll binge a webtoon from start to finish and be like oh my godddd this is so chefs kiss and then I move on a week later or smth LMAO but def ORV, Tower of God, TLOK, and DC has stuck with me.
what do I care the most about right now...I've taken up some new-ish hobbies, learning karate and scuba diving!! I adore scuba diving (even though it still scares me sometimes) and I just loveee being able to swim with the fish and marine life and just vibe. It's great <3
Also. BIRBS. I've gotten into birding recently too and it's so fun, I loveee watching the lil guys hop around and chirp obnoxiously and just vibe, I could watch them for hours and hours on end tbh. I've been working on my ID and I can ID most of the common ones around my area now, and at one point I was able to identify some individuals (but I've lost track of them since). I want to improve my photography skills but just haven't had the energy to, but one day I want to learn how to use all that fancy gear. I especially adore dark-eyed juncos, spotted towhees, bewick's wrens, and lesser goldfinches <3 House finches are always fun too, those guys are loud af and squabbly and I feel like plumage varies by individual quite a bit so it's a bit easier for me to identify individuals which has been enjoyable
3. what's your favourite colour. do you have a justification for liking this wavelength of light more than all the other wavelengths of light? yeah me neither. i just feel like this a basic thing that you should know abt a person. ykwim?
blue (lmao how fitting for my alias), I've always had blue as my favorite color since I was a kid and it has never changed :P My favorite shade of blue would be the color of the speedo backpack with the "imperial blue" color which I know is oddly specific but yeah xD
also I've always loved rainbows since I was a kid, even before I found out I was queer, and I still do :P
4. do you have a favourite flower? i feel like this is a question not many people think about but i kind of like considering things like this. so. it can be pretty it can be cool it can be weird and kind of ugly and smells like a rotting creature and only blooms once every decade. looking at you, corpse flower. (look it up, it’s cool)
hmm...I like African daisies cause they're pretty and resilient, I'm not really much of a flowers person but that's probably what I'd choose
5 choose one. reader writer protagonist. btw u don't have to be an ory fan to answer this. which one calls to you. secret fourth option is artist.
reader cause I'm biased by kdj nah jk that's true, but also I've just always loved reading and idk that calls to me the most. I love being able to dive into another world and leaving all my problems behind even if it's just briefly
6. would you enjoy being stuck in a time loop? as a bonus, would you be able to escape it? do you even want to?
Okay so I'll admit my first reaction to this was hell no. Then I read your explanation Tem, and now I'm like wait hold on...so I can just like, do all the things I've been wanting to do but never had enough time for? Now it sounds appealing....
I would like to be able to escape it eventually, though I don't know if I will be able to tbh, but I'd loveee to have the time to just deep dive into all the things I'm curious about but haven't had time to explore because I'm only human and only have so much time/energy on my hands and had to prioritize (did I mention prioritizing is currently not one of my strong suits so...)
7. do you have any niche skills or interests? are you really good at bottle flips? can you list the first 100 digits of pi? maybe your spice tolerance is at inhumanly high levels. or you're kim dokia and you can't think of anything special. actually his niche skill was reading the same trashy webnovel every day for 10 years and not getting bored. everyone has something, even if you don't think it's "cool".
Hmmm I suppose scuba diving counts? I've only just started recently but I'm really emotionally + financially (cries) invested in it now haha it's so fun and it never ceases to amaze me that I get to breathe underwater! and see cool marine life! so many fish and kelp and lil fish hiding in crevices.
One of my favorite things to observe is watching fish or other sea creatures go with the flow/vibe without bothering to fight against the current when there's a bit of surge underwater, and then move along with their lives. Helps to remind me to touch grass and remember that whatever my anxiety is telling me is a huge deal and sending off an excess amount of unhelpful alarms that things will be okay eventually one day, and all I can do right now is just do my best and go with the flow just like these lil guys are doing. and honestly I'm pretty proud of myself for stepping multiple bounds out of my comfort zone to try this hobby, which I ended up loving :D (much to my wallet's chagrin)
love the last sentence in this prompt btw
8. do subways in your country have carrots? mine do. i remember seeing a post about this and how apparently not every subway has shredded carrots as a salad option? do you even have subway where you live? you don't have to say where you live btw. if you don't wanna answer anything abt your location that’s fine, but you should tell me your favourite sandwich combo instead.
At first I was like the subway as in transportation?? and then I was like ohhh it's the restaurant chain. Honestly haven't been to one in years uhhh so tbh idk if they have shredded carrots, last time I went to one I don't think I remember seeing it as an option
9. do you remember how we became mutuals?? or, alternatively, how did you find my blog? I'll be honest i forgot how i became mutuals with about 90% of you. idk we just… mutual-ed up. woke up one day and the little green badge was there and i jumped for joy. love you guys <3
I think we may have met through the ORV friendship discord server, do correct me if I'm wrong though haha
10. okay free question! no i lied actually tell me which fictional character/s you relate the most to. not to be asking about your kin list in the big 2025 but. i'm curious. which of your blorbos is Just Like You for real?
Ohh tough question, I actually don't really have like one that I Fully Relate To, you know? But I can relate to kdj having self-sacrificing tendencies, workaholic (I am trying to recover), loving reading, social outcast experiences, and I guess maybe also a bit of clark kent and bam in terms of values/stubborness. Relate to yor forger not knowing what to do in social situations 1000% (I don't got her skillset tho haha). Also relate to Ivy from "Spell for a Smith" webtoon in terms of a lack of confidence/believing in her abilities (I do wish I had her witchy skills tho). So like, I don't really have like That One Blorbo that is Just Like Me? But I guess just an amalgamation of characters I sorta relate to in some way or another. And I love all of them <3
