1, 18, 26 for the ask thing 🩷 sorry if you've answered those already!
Thank you!
who is/are your comfort character(s)?
(Gonna go with TV for this, for simplicity's sake.)
I have to really think about this. Because my immediate answer was "oh, Ted and Rebecca from Apple TV+ show Ted Lasso." But I don't think that's quite true?! There are things about both characters that I find comforting to think about, and I suppose there's something inherently comforting about characters who are good humans who happen to be insanely attractive and interesting?! But in general the cast of Ted Lasso aren't characters who are just there to be solid and comforting and take up a consistent little portion of my brain, always there for me. Probably because my fandom obsession feels too dynamic for that.
Within Ted Lasso, I think Beard might *actually* be my comfort character. Even though I have written many fucked-up things about him, I find thinking about him and writing about him and imagining little scenarios for him extremely comforting.
Comfort characters in a more traditional sense (according to my brain's arbitrary definitions): Barbara Howard from Abbott Elementary, every single person in Derry Girls, Frankie Bergstein from Grace and Frankie.
18. what hair products do you use?
My hair situation is sooooo basic?! I have very straight thick hair, and although I have more sproingy weird flyaway bits than I'd like as I go grey and my hair changes texture, I literally just use shampoo and conditioner and brush it. I usually don't even dry it with a hair dryer. I have no patience for hair stuff. I've been thinking about changing my hair a bit with my next cut, but who knows!?
26. a scenario that you’ve replayed multiple times?
So many: embarrassing things I wish had gone differently, scenes from stories I'm writing (this is dangerous because if I over-imagine it, it's too hard for me to write), aspirational things that I want to happen. I can't think of a great example to write out, but my brain is full of reruns.
