18, 20, 24 for the OC ask
oooh I had to think about these ones! 💛
18. What’s the most physically uncomfortable situation they’ve ever been in?
Their grandmother later in life was in hospital a lot. Even as an adult Exsa would try and stay with her for as long as possible, because they go to college in a different city. This leads to a lot of nights curled up in hard plastic visitor's chairs, and one time, even perched precariously on the edge of a gurney rail. For someone as long and lanky as them, being curled up and sleeping in those places can be quite painful, especially in the morning.
Their grandmother also describes the car accident they were in when they were a child - the one that took their father. But they were so young they don't remember being locked into a burning wreck for almost 20 minutes before they could be rescued. Hot metal does make them flinch though.
20. Favourite type of baked goods? Are they good at baking?
Their favorite baked good is fresh, hot, buttery croissants. That flaky pastry. All those layers.... mmmm. i miss croissants so much
They're very good at cooking but suck at baking because they improvise too much and are too impatient.
24. Do they ever cry because something is too cute?
Oh ettie. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk about Creet. Creet, or Leetil Creechur, is a sentient demon fungus they found leftover in a soup pot. It defies perception and doesn't speak in sounds that could be called words and yet you could understand it anyway through an amalgam of horrifying emotions and abstract visions. It's physical form evokes horror and disgust, and staring into its eyes too long you trip so hard and so long that coming back down is almost more disorienting. Exsa loves it. They have absolutely let a tear or two slip when it accepted the bow Exsa tied around its 'tail'.
