thank you so much @discoreos and @melodiesofmidnight for the tags!! both sets of questions have a lot of overlap, so i'm combining them into one post.
first set of questions:
Last song: “stars,” specifically earl carpenter in the 2009 isle of wight concert
Favorite color: chartreuse!!!! i'm generally fond of any rich, vibrant, or bright greens, blues, purples, yellows... tho greys and browns are good too 🤔... but chartreuse is my go to number one favorite 💚
Last movie/TV show: the 1964 stop motion “rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,” during christmas dinner.
Sweet/spicy/savory: sweet by default, but savory is good too. no spicy. and none of these in combination; keep them separate.
Relationship status: single & not looking
Last thing I googled: technically using ecosia because they plant trees, but anyway—“epson v850”
Current obsession: to the surprise of absolutely no one, javert lesmis. and valvert in general.
second set of questions:

Favorite color: see also above
Song stuck in my head: genuinely nothing 🤡 no thoughts head empty etc.
Favorite food: uhhHHHHMM. probably a cheeseburger i'm ngl. i can think of nothing else atm... could just be that i really want one right now 😅
Last song I listened to: seeth aboveth

omg okay 9 and 56 for dickroy por favor (it's all the so you think you can dance i watched as a child that gets me imagining superheroes dancing bc they have sm control over their bodies!!! theyd do great ok) also also taking this opportunity to send HUGS I LOVE YOU 💙💙💙💙
First of all I love YOU!!!! Thank you for this 🥺🥺🥺 (your mind!!!! they would be so good at dancing! they would just blow every competition out of the water I am convinced now) also my god I did not expect this to get so long ksdjfahj
9. Dance AU and 56. Awful First Meeting (prompts found here!)
OH BOY. If I were to write this fic, Roy would be a dancer because it's fun. I don't have a particular dance style in mind for this AU (other than ballet tbh) but no matter what it is, he does it because he enjoys it, because it's stress relief, maybe it was something he and Dinah bonded over. Oliver is supportive in that, You can take this however far you want to go and I'll be there the whole way, sort of way -- if Roy decided he wanted to stop, cool, no big, we can find something else for you to do
Dick, on the other hand, does it because he's good at it. He enjoys dancing, sure, but he's competitive about it. He wants to go to the competitions and win, he wants the awards, he wants to be the best at it that he could possibly be. And Bruce matches this energy, fuels it, he wants to be the dad to the best dancer this side of the Mississippi and he will do whatever it takes to get Dick there
So with this background in mind. I want Roy to beat Dick in a dance competition.
more under the cut
I want them to be like... late teens, probably, and Dick comes in all ready for his win. He's nice to the other competitors who are all just as involved and determined as he is, but then he sees Roy. Roy is immediately intriguing to him, bc he's cute and he's got muscles for days, and Dick thrives on it like,, actually having to work towards winning. He knows he's going to of course, but it's more fun when other ppl don't make it easy for him
But then Roy is kind of like, "shrug yeah I'm excited to be here but I'm okay getting second place. Or lower. Whatever." Dick is HORRIFIED. Dick is DISGUSTED. Apathy?? In a competition with HIM in it??? THIS GUY IS GOING DOWN.
(I can't decide if Roy can tell what's going on in Dick's head or not.... I think probably at least a little? He also thinks Dick is cute and he's enjoying the intensity of Dick's attention a lot. A Lot.)
Dick gives this dance his all. He does amazingly. He probably gets like one or two points off from a perfect score (idk how scores work... or what would've happened to knock points off but that doesn't matter now lmao)
Roy goes out and everything just clicks. He's an awesome dancer on a bad day anyway, but this night, it all just comes together. He gets a perfect score. He WINS THE COMPETITION. Dick gets second place. Crushing loss!!! It's so much worse that he lost to someone so cute!
Thus begins a one-sided rivalry where Dick is BOUND AND DETERMINED to win against Roy. Roy honestly doesn't care if he wins or loses against Dick... except that when he wins, it's like pulling Dick's pigtails. They're flirting and fighting and Roy pretends to be above it all, and they're both having so much fun with it.
Every time they're both in a competition together, it's almost like Dick is a good luck charm for Roy. He always wins. And Dick is still killing it, still doing wonderful, still winning when Roy isn't also there (and I imagine living so far apart and only meeting at competitions doesn't help ksdjhfakhj)
I think I would end it with like... Roy accidentally getting hurt and having to forfeit his spot because he can't finish. Dick wins this competition, but as soon as his dance is over, he rushes to Roy, has to reassure himself he's okay. Somewhere along the line, losing to Roy has stopped feeling like a loss to himself (the PRESSURE this boy puts on himself to be perfect, holy shit). IT'S AN INTRICATE RITUAL!!! Dick can feel okay losing a competition if it's against Roy only. It didn't feel good this time. He just wanted to be with Roy, who cared about winning?
Anyway they kiss in the medical room or wherever they are and then they probably become dancing partners and win all the awards, the end

cadmium yellow; when you think of the word “happy” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? A mix of things.. special time with my family, a hot mug of tea on a rainy day, being in a theatre, summer nights with friends.. many good things.
vermilion; what’s your favorite accent? I've always been fond of English, Irish, and Scottish accents. I also have a special place in my heart for Kiwi accents because I miss New Zealand so much.
indigo; what’s the best/sweetest compliment you have ever received? The first one that comes to mind is when I was in our local theatre's production of Annie and our Miss Hannigan told me she had heard there was a trained performer in our cast and that she had thought it was me. 🥺💞
I watched s1 either when or right after s3 was airing, but I never watched s2. then in June?? I think? I kept seeing gifsets on my dash and I remembered enjoying the first season, so I tried again! so that's like almost 5 months?
22. Favourite thing about the show?
oh god this one is hard lol. I think... the character dynamics and the found family of it all. they all really care about each other so much?? they're FAMILY??? it means so much to me kdjshafj 🥺🥺🥺 like even the characters that don't have as much of an on screen connection... you still know they care!! ugh my heart
