26. You can only have one juice for the rest of your life, what is it?
Now, technically, per my dentist, I’m not supposed to have juice anymore lol. Too sugary, apparently (whatever man I can’t avoid juices forever, I just can’t dang it.) That said, probably any sort of fruit punch juice mix thing. Bonus points if it’s one of those smoothies blends they made a few years back.
It never tastes as good as I remember it, but it makes me nostalgic for this cool memory from when I was little, and my mum and I finally got out of our first shit apartment into a decent one. I spent the entire day drinking juice and watching Oliver and Company on repeat (they brought our TV and VHS player in first thing so I’d be out of the way lol), and I think it’s one of the few happiest days I have in my memories tbh.
36. Pick a superhero sidekick to hang out with
Honestly, I’m not sure? I do have one that isn’t a superhero sidekick, but could fall under the sidekick term I think: Matthew, Dream of the Endless’ raven. He’s one of my favorite characters from the books, and I have a panel of him with a balloon I’d love to get tattooed actually.
So maybe he and I could go get balloons together for my birthday this month. I’m not exactly excited about it, and he can be quite cynical. I feel like we’d have a good time on that errand together.
49. What’s something that you don’t have a picture of that you wish you did?
So much, tbh. I keep falling for that shit ppl spill abt “don’t always take pics, be in the moment!” Except my memory is shit thanks to years and years of depression, so even the sharpest memories lose some shape after time, and pictures help keep them a little more together. Hell, if it’s a time that was difficult, or a day I was upset? Then unless something major happened, a lot of those memories don’t stick at all. They’re just...gone, and it’s honestly kind of scary some days. Losing hours and minutes that were so important at the time.
To choose just one moment? The day we got Nisha. I know we took one or two pictures, but lost them when we got new phones. She was just a little calico dot in her carrier, and it seemed far too big for her. She looked up at me before I took her out of it when we got home, and I wish I could have captured that first look of ‘oh? You’re someone I can trust?’ that she seemed to have on right then. Just the thought of it makes me teary-eyed, and a picture would for sure make me sob, but I wish I had one all the same.
