Questions :)

Tagged by: @snorlax-and-co ~ Thanks a bunch sweet pea for tagging me. xP I’m gonna have fun answering these~ 😄

Name: Tony. 😝

Nicknames: Tony, Pepperoni (that’s where my Tumblr name comes from. xP My family used to call me that since it rhymed with my nickname “Tony”). I was also called “Internet” in school because it sounded like my birth name. 😂

Zodiac Sign: Aries.

Height: Used to be 5′ 7″ before spinal surgeries. 0.0 Now I’m 5′ 5″. ^^’ Oh well, not much I can do about it now. -^^-

Orientation: Oh boy… depends on who you ask. That varies pretty widely in this system. xD But strictly speaking about myself, asexual would fit the best. -^^- If we got into romantic orientation, my answer would be Demi-Panromantic Asexual. ^^’ I feel like that confuses a lot of people, though… heck, asexual confuses a lot of people. xD I generally just don’t talk about my orientation (or gender for that matter) with most people because of this. 😂 My gender is equally confusing, and I use transguy for simplicity as well, same as I just use ace for simplicity with sexuality. xP Being a multiple has always made figuring this stuff out rather difficult, so I generally stick around umbrella terms with my identity to make things easier. -^^-

Nationality: American, but I have a lot of family in Germany and Scotland and have always wanted to live in the latter. 😊

Favorite Fruit?: Hmm… that’s tricky. I love watermelon and kiwi… I also love clementines, plums, cherries… it’d… be easier to tell you the fruit I don’t like actually. x’D Which is basically tomatoes. Ick~! I hate tomatoes. e~e They’re hardly fruit in my book!

Favorite Season?: Autumn/Fall~ 🍂🌰☕❤️️

Favorite Book?: I’ve only really been able to read one book recreationally as of late. ^^’ But it was a really good book, and I loved it! It was a book I bought on a whim, without really knowing if I’d like it or not, and I finished it, so… that says something I guess. x’D It’s called “Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil” by Paul Bloom. It’s a nonfiction book, with a focus on psychology, behavioral economics, evolutionary biology, and philosophy. It delves into studies on morality and humanity, particularly in infants and young children. I found it to be a fascinating read, and so did Reiji. xP Other than that, the only books I’ve read have been for school. ^^’

Favorite Flower?: Hmm, I think lilies and daisies are very nice~ 🌼 -^^- I know Honey loves sunflowers. 🌻

Favorite Scent?: I love fruity and woodsy scents. For instance, I have a lavender hand sanitizer that I really like, and a “Garden Rain” candle that’s to die for~ 💙 The tamer and more natural the smell, the more likely I am to enjoy it. -^^- Scents I can’t stand would be really sweet smelling ones (my sister likes to buy perfumes that smell like cupcakes and other sweet smells and it hurts my nose. Q~Q).

Favorite Color?: I like gray, blue, and green, in no particular order. Those would have to tie for my favorites. -^^- I wear those colors the most. I’m wearing a blue t-shirt and gray capris this very moment, actually. xD

Favorite Animal?: Pretty much all of these questions vary widely between who in the system would be answering, but personally, I love elephants. 🐘 I love a lot of animals actually, but I admire the elephant’s intelligence and capacity for emotion, so they get first place for now. I know Gillie would say bunnies, and Reiji loves cats. -^^-

Coffee, Tea, or Hot Cocoa?: Ohh~ hot cocoa is delicious… but tea is healthier, e~e and still tastes really good… I’m sorry hot cocoa, you just can’t win with all that sugar. ^^’ Maybe next time, buddy~

Average Sleep Hours?: Oh… goodness. Nonexistent? x’D This question in particular really goes all over the place depending on which alter we’re talking about here. Myself? I’m a mess. I don’t have average sleep hours. I sleep when I’ve earned it, and if I haven’t, I don’t get to sleep. ^^’ I’m trying to go easier on myself about that…

Cat or Dog Person?: Cat for me~ 😻 This changes with who you ask, though, same as the favorite animal. I know Mi-Suk loves dogs. xP I don’t have anything against them either, dogs are adorable~ 🐶

Favorite Fictional Character?: Oh, my… this one’s hard. I’ve been watching a lot of Steven Universe recently, and have fallen in love with basically all of the characters. xD Can I just answer all the crystal gems + some?  😂

Blog Created: Uh, I’m not sure on that one. I’m gonna guess around 6 months ago, though? ^^’ I’ve not been around for very long.

Number of Followers: 44. I’m actually surprised. Last I checked it was 32 or something. xD

When Did Your Blog Reach Its Peak?: Maybe a month or so ago? It’s slowed down since college is taking up more and more of my time. @~@ I hope to reach 50 someday, though. xP

What Made You Decide to Get a Tumblr?: For the same reason as Snorlax, to be honest. 0.0 We wanted to meet others with DID, and learn more about it in the process. We’d done a lot of research and soul-searching on our own, and figured it was time to start getting involved in a community and moving towards recovery. This is the first and only social media account I have that I actually tend to, and haven’t completely abandoned after making it. x’D So I’m pretty proud of that. -^^-

Why Did You Pick Your URL?: I talked about this a little bit towards the start of this monstrous post, but I guess I can talk a little more about it. xD “Pepperoni” was one of my nicknames as a kid, and “Whirlwind” was just a word that popped into my head as I was making my URL, so I went with it. x’D I basically always name my accounts on spontaneous ideas. I’m fashionably impulsive. 😎

Last Movie You Watched?: The last movie I watched was when I wrote a paper on “To Kill a Mockingbird” for my film class. -^^- It’s a classic, what else can I say?

Last Song You Listened To?: ”Here Comes A Thought/Flexibility, Love, and Trust” from Steven Universe. 😊

Last Book You Read?: I’ve been reading short stories and poems from my Literature textbook for my ENG 102 class. xP

Last Thing You Ate?: A bowl of cereal… yesterday. ^^’ I haven’t had time to eat today what with attending class, cleaning my room, doing hw, etc. I’ll eat eventually, same as sleep, so don’t worry about little old me. -^^-

If You Could Be Anywhere Right Now, Where Would You Be?: Under the stars, bundled up with my girlfriend~ ❤️️ We’ll try to find constellations, then just talk for hours once we realize we’re not very good at the former. xD

What Time Would You Travel to If You Could?: I would be wary to time-travel anywhere, but if I had to, I’d probably check out the future. See when flying cars will be mainstream, you know? xP

And that’s all the questions! That was a long one for sure, but I absolutely loved it. -^^- Sorry about the length, though. ^^’ It probably would have been shorter if I didn’t ramble, but I’m bad at not doing that. xD

Tagging: @sammyswolf, @the-galaxy-system, @systemofafault, @halfway-into-darkness, @greencresentmoon, @spruceneedlesandcoffee, @sadpartyboy, @multiple-myselves, and @disabilityhealth~  😊 If anyone else wants to do it, please feel free! If you were tagged and don’t want to do it, that’s fine too. Take care, everyone~! and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day or night, wherever you are~ 💚 - Tony

Sometimes being told to "do my best" really messes me up because what is my best? Is it just trying? Is it trying a bit harder? Is it doing nothing but The Thing and sacrificing everything else in my life to the point of injuring my health? I don't know anymore.

does it ever hit you that you’re never going to get better and you have no idea how to cope with that knowledge so you just kind of shut yourself off and you lash out when people try to talk to you and you know they’re sick of your behaviour but you can’t help it because you’re also sick but it’s never going to get better and you don’t know how you’re meant to just take that as it is and continue living like nothing’s wrong
