Do you ever find yourself in the position of liking all/most of the characters in a story?

I'm that way with One Piece, and it seems to bother some of my friends for some reason that I love all of the Straw Hats so dearly.

Eeeeeee!

Thank you, finally someone said it! Yeah, I love all the Strawhats, and all the people they make friends with everywhere they go and end up traveling with! (Even the horrible greasy Caribou and Cesar Clown, who kinda travel with them against their will, because they're characters you love to hate!)

I never thought someone could write more memorable and lovable characters than Toby Fox. Toby made up an entire Underground's worth of monsters, but Oda invented an entire planet of complex and unforgettable people with hearts brimming with dreams, wild and varied personalities, and often carrying the most unimaginable trauma...

Ah man, thanks, you've got me rambling. XD

I'm guessing your friends have not been properly initiated into the One Piece fandom yet, cuz I can't imagine being a fan of One Piece and NOT having some level of fondness for each person on the Strawhat crew as we've gotten to know them. XD Sure, they all have their weird quirks, but they all kick butt in their own way and bring something awesome to the team!

Have you ever watched Star Trek: Voyager?

No, but my sister probably has. Her boyfriend is really into Star Trek stuff.

Are you familiar with the manga/anime series Fairy Tail?

There's a character in it named Levy, and sometimes I see your name scroll past and briefly think it's a Fairy Tail blog or something. Then I remember that your videos are the reason I got onto Tumblr in the first place.

Anyway, thank you for the fun and joy that you spread. I'm sorry if it's weird for your name to remind someone of a cartoon character. (My last name is Sullivan, so I've encountered it with Monster's Inc.)

Also, this is what Levy from Fairy Tail looks like. I'll stop talking now 😅

I've definitely heard of Fairy Tail, and heard good things about it, just haven't gotten around to reading/watching it yet. And hey, it's not silly or weird! Cartoons and anime are among my favorite things! Knowing there's a cool character in it that shares my name, I'm putting it higher in my mental animes-to-watch list for sure. ^,^ (And she looks really cute ans smart, yay!)

If you could visit any (non-Earth) planet, real or fictional, what planet would you visit?

(And if you have a reason, why that planet?)

As long as I'm ONLY visiting, and not trapped living there...

I would absolutely visit whatever planet it is that the universe of One Piece takes place in.

Come on! It has giants and mermaids and talking animals in it! Sure, the whole place is basically run by a terrifyingly powerful world government and there's always the risk of running into / being attacked by pirates... but hey, it still looks like an incredible planet to visit!

what is your favourite food?

Fav food would probably be angel hair spaghetti and marinara sauce.

@dehex18 Huh, I don't really think about fonts or writing styles enough to have a favorite... I think the Comic Sans font is fun (for probably obvious reasons. XD) I like writing in italics, that's neat too.

And if you're asking about the different Tumblr fonts, Lucille is quite fancy!

Also I guess my favorite letters would be B, K and L, because those are my initials. (Bettina Katie Levy.) ^,^

@sleepyastral You can thank @jayalaw for bringing Undertale to my attention. Plus Youtube gamers like Markiplier and Jacksepticeye for making playthroughs of the game and showing how fun and quirky it is!

Sans and Papyrus. I can't choose between them, they're both so great, especially together.

Hi! I am a big fan of yours your posts make my day. I am currently going through quite a tough time but your posts seem to brighten my day like the moon in a dark and gloomy night.

Aww, what a beautiful sentiment, thank you!

Harbinger of smiles, lol. XD Sounds vaguely threatening... I like it. :)

Well, Joyce was based upon my love of Undertale, so she's definitely Frisk-inspired. I haven't seen any of the Jojo anime, but I understand they like naming characters with JO at the beginning, so I'd imagine Joyce wouldn't be out of place. XD

@immothgirl

Yes I do! ^_^

(This is fanart from someone else, I did not make this!)

Yes indeed!

Haha, yeahhh... kinda messes with your head, huh? 🙃

@dehex18 I think it'd be neat to go to the planet inhabited by the Little Prince, where he keeps a few knee-high volcanos and a rose that talks, and we'd watch sunsets for fun. Can't get simpler than that.

Not as often as I used to, which is a real shame, I'll admit. I haven't even listened to audiobooks for a while. :P

@crispytrashphantom What are the odds?!

I guess because I'm celebrating Tumblr within my videos? I'm showing off what I see as the best parts of this crazy hellsite (affectionate). Posts that are silly and inspiring and educational, I bring them to my audience, and because of that I am one of the first people they follow when they inevitably decide to join the site. That's how I'd explain it.

Do you ever have to overcome stage fright (mic fright?) when recording for your videos?

I find it really easy to write scripts for my videos, and editing the videos is good too, but that middle part—where I have to record—often gets put of for days…weeks…months…Is there a mindset you suggest for getting things done?

Hmmm, stage fright sometimes, I don't think I ever have "mic fright", because it's just me performing in the room alone, and if I mess up, I can always just try again and have a better recording the next time.

Like literally, you stutter or stumble on your words, you start again from the top of the sentence, and you carry on like nothing happened, and you'll edit around it later. And if you're listening back to yourself later and decide you don't like your delivery, just do it again a little differently whenever you have time to record. No one's asking you to do it perfectly in one shot.

Maybe if I was doing live streams or broadcasting myself live for people I'd have a little more "mic fright", but that's not really the case for me.

Just do your best. Don't be scared about not being perfect. You'll be fine.
