A last thing I got tagged in by @kiramekisakurai cause the fourth I already did on my side blog (can send link if interested, but the music one would just be a copy paste otherwise).
So yeah I guess you know the drill now, if @eneath wanna do this one be my guest, but you don’t have to.
Apocalypse Question Game
What did you think your apocalypse outfit would be?
Very likely the same as I already wear in the sense of I don’t see myself raid stores for clothes and wear what I’d take with me. Nothing would change for me, há.
What’s your actual apocalypse outfit been?
My... regular outfit. Nailed it. On a serious note, I find it hard to find our current pandemic an apocalypse anyway.
What do you miss the most?
I just miss all the events I had planned. I feel like I still have access to everything else that I do on a regular basis. Do hate I can’t get my hair cut though, since that was intended to happen in March and it feels really bad on my head.
What do you miss the least?
I don’t think anything has changed enough for me to answer this. Literally NOTHING has been removed for me that I actually didn’t like, only things I like.
What can people do to help you?
Communication, but I’ve felt socially drained since November already and corona’s not helping. I’m not seeing anyone I like, I don’t get to talk a lot. I often try sitting in a voice channel in my Discord hoping someone shows up just so I can talk to someone I like, because talking to customers is more socially draining than actually satisfying my social needs. I’m not even an extrovert...
What are you enjoying about it?
Overall nothing, I do like I get to play two of my D&D campaigns more frequently but my favourite campaign was cancelled for the time being, so it’s... yeah.
What are you going to do that you never have time to do usually?
Absolutely nothing. I still don’t have time, and it’s actually frustrating to see all those inspirational posts about having time to spend on hobbies, because I sit in the grocery store almost fulltime just waiting to get infected cause let’s be real: it is inevitable as grocery store worker. Sorry for using this as a rant space, but it is what it is. Either way, I can relate to not having time (since I read kira has the same issue).
I do want to end it on a positive note though, so I’ll end it with: at least when all this is over, a coworker and I are going to an all you can eat sushi, so I do have something to look forward to. :) She basically said “it’s a date” hah.
I was tagged by @kiramekisakurai, thank you, I like tag games. ^^ I will do the others later.
I will say in advance I will tag @eneath if they wanna do this, I saw evangeline was already tagged, so I will put the answers under a cut.
Name: Laura
Nicknames: Mirika, Miri
Sun, moon, rising: I don’t know any of these, but my zodiac is capricorn and I never understood the sun/moon/etc stuff
Age: 27 as I post this
Sex: Female (but I like how kira replied with no thanks because same)
Fave musicians: Recently became feral about The Amazing Devil, but overall my favourites are Peter Hollens, Versailles/Lareine, D and hmm, I just listen to soundtracks more than artists tbh.
Fave anime: Digimon! Everything else doesn’t matter!
Fave video game: The Last of Us is my all-time favourite
Vitamin supplement: It’s better if I take them, but as of last November my self-care decreased incredibly. I used to take those ‘all-in-one’ supplements.
Fave addiction: I don’t know what to define as addiction? A favourite fandom or something? I mean I really fucken love Lord of the Rings even if I don’t speak of it often.
Fave book: What is book, can I eats it (I’d have to go with The Hobbit cause I haven’t read many books)
Favourite way of breathing: ??? through my nose?
Favourite element: Fire, though irl you don’t see me near fire often
Last time i was in a body of water: I took a bath at my parents’ house last week. n_n (showers aren’t a body of water right?)
Yeeeh! I got tagged by @evangeline-noir :)
I would like to tag: @eneath, @bronweathanharthad, and I wanna tag @peterwebslingerparker but Tumblr won’t let me?
Only if you wanna do this! Don’t feel obliged.
Rules: bold what’s true about you, italicize your aspirations and leave blank the untruths! tag people!
* * * * *
Air:
I have small hands
I love the night sky
I watch small animals and birds when I pass them by
Another tag from @kiramekisakurai, and just like the other one I tag @eneath if they wanna do it, but of course not obliged. :) And yes it’s a different one!
I ignore:
Rule: Tag 9 people you’d like to know better.
I don’t know 9 people I commonly chat with. Not anymore. Ever since I stepped out of being involved with jrock fandoms I kinda lost contact with people here so it’s just eneath and evangeline usually. XD
Top 3 ships I’m currently shipping: /sweats nervously as I think about the amount of times I self insert but don’t actually ship actual pairings
I uh... I ... can’t think of any ships that I feel any dedication for. I like Robin(M)/Chrom from Fire Emblem: Awakening? I explained once before I don’t ship Robin(F) not out of sexist reasons, but because it’d feel like self insert since I identify with female avatars and I don’t like Chrom that way. xD Sorry my one-sleeved dude.
I think I have more “notp” than otp, so to say. I can’t think of two other ships. Watch me be horrified in 24 hours because I forgot a pairing that I absolutely love and forgot about, haha. I’d say Francis/Mary from Reign maybe, but it’s based on actual history with a large fictional layer so...
Wait, I can think of a third! Obviously I want to see Marinette and Adrien be happy and in love one day! Duh! Didn’t even need 24 hours. They’re from Miraculous Ladybug.
Bonus: I do have one crackship (aka a joke ship that I am not serious about) and it’s Prince Charming and Captain Hook from Once Upon A Time. Something happened in season 3 that triggered this crackship and now I can’t stop it. It helps their actors are really chill with each other too lol.
Sorry I started rambling!
Lipstick or chapstick: This is basically a “looks or function” question and I will go with function (chapstick).
Last song I listened to: Farewell Wanderlust - The Amazing Devil
Rules: Answer 20 questions and tag 20 people you want to get to know better.

Favourite holiday: I want to say Halloween, but we don’t celebrate it
I was tagged by: @peterwebslingerparker
Surprise, surprise! I was tagged to answer 28 questions by @evangeline-noir!
The rules state I should answer ‘30(ish)’ questions and tag ‘20(ish)’ people, but I’m not in contact with that many people here on Tumblr, so I’ll tag few... like, really. I could come up with three people.
I tag:
@eneath @tough-pyramid @chizuruleech
If you do not want to do it, that is 100% fine! If you do, make sure to tag me so I can read your answers, I wanna know.
All questions are under the cut!
Rules: answer 30(ish) questions and tag 20(ish) blogs
1. Nicknames:
Mirika, Lauriem (self-chosen nicknames I have to say).
2. Gender:
Female, though I do not strongly associate myself with the gender.
3. Star sign:
Capricorn.
4. Height:
160 cm, I believe that is 5′2.
5. Time:
15:28 as I answer to this specific question.
6. Birthday:
December 24. Being in The Netherlands it is not ‘sad’ to be born this day, we don’t really celebrate Christmas Eve (at least not here in the north).
7. Favourite bands:
Although I listen more to soundtracks than bands nowadays, I still consider Versailles and D as some of my favourite bands.
8. Favourite solo artists:
Kamijo (from Versailles) has some good tunes out there, but I also want to give Peter Hollens a special mention; he’s a YouTuber musician who mostly does covers, but it’s all acapella and it’s really cool. Gollum’s Song is what made me discover his channel and it’s truly haunting.
9. Song stuck in my head:
Currently nothing at all. Yeah, it’s possible. For some reason I lately have a lot of songs stuck in my head that I never listen to. Not even radio songs, just... songs from the past, I suppose. Children’s songs and such.
10. Last movie I watched:
Zapped. It’s a typical high school movie for teens, but I like that they made a movie in which a girl is sick of boys and gains the ability to control them. Also, the Haka is somewhat introduced in it, which is cool (Haka the dance of the Maori people which I learnt a lot about this semester).
11. Last show I watched:
I watch Lucifer and Reign simultaneously at the moment.
12. When did I create my blog:
My oldest post is from January 2011 where I claim to be a nub on this website.
13. What do I post:
Right now? Mostly cats, The Last of Us and sometimes Frodo. However, my personal blog is much more active and contains a lot of Colin O’Donoghue, Digimon and Fire Emblem.
14. Last thing I Googled:
The weather in Amstelveen, as I am travelling there tomorrow for a Pokemon GO event.
15. Do I have any other blogs:
Yes, several! But I am active on only two. If you want to follow my other (more active) blog, please contact me. I don’t want that one to be public as I complain about real life issues there a lot and I allow myself to do this because I have less than 100 followers there.
17. Why I chose my url:
It’s my nickname. It used to be mirikalj because mirika was taken.
18. Following:
77 including many inactive people.
19. Followers:
561, a lot from when I was active in the Versailles and D fandoms, and of course when I still made gifs of YouTubers.
20. Average hours of sleep:
About 8 hours. That is what I aim for. I only allow 10 hours if I think I really need extra hours.
21. Lucky number:
I have two. I feel drawn towards 19 and 88. Also interesting to know, I hate the number 4. Something about the number 4 pisses me off. Same goes for 22:22. Whenever I see that time at the clock I get annoyed. Don’t ask me why, I don’t know either.
22. Instruments:
Instruments are not for me. Would love to get into those music video games though (Rock Band and the like).
23. What am I wearing:
Jeans and a shirt saying 'home is where the hearthstone is,’ which is referring to the game World of Warcraft. The hearthstone is an item that will teleport to any area you consider home, which is always an inn for as far as I’m aware.
24. Dream job:
If I had the voice for it, I’ve always wanted to be a vocalist. If I had the ability to remember lines, I’ve always wanted to be an actress. However, I went for the game art education instead and I’d say being a game artist is a dream job of mine, though whether I live up to it is a story for another time.
25. Dream trip:
I want to visit the Lord of the Rings sets in New Zealand, obviously. That’s my biggest aim.
26. Favourite food:
Sushi, especially with eel. Only exception is when I’m not in a big fish mood, then I’ll accept cucumber sushi.
27. Nationality:
Dutch (The Netherlands).
28. Favourite song right now:
Right now? It’s a tie between some pirate dude singing about revenge and the same dude being NOT a pirate singing other songs. Whether these are my favourites right now I actually doubt, but it’s what is often on repeat on my playlist among other songs he’s sung. Other than that I’d say the entire Galavant soundtrack playlist would suffice (many deleted videos), as the entire soundtrack is something I listen to at least once a week. I can’t pick one because my autistic ass puts all these thing on repeat all the time and there is just not something I absolutely prefer.
Fun fact since it’s not a question: I ended this at 15:49 (since I had to mention time earlier). By 16:01 I finally knew who to tag.
@evangeline-noir tagged me so I have another opportunity to procrastinate (but to be honest I can’t work at school on documents anyway).
I have to say NOTHING is in a particular order.

The entire season 1 & 2 albums of Cast of Galavant covers over 15 songs.
