tagged by @gentlemancrow, thanks for the tag! :)
1. Why did you choose your url?
i think i chose this back in the heady days of uh. year 8 or 9? for my old ff dot net account and/or deviantart, and it’s just stuck ever since! it was back in my skulduggery pleasant fandom days, and the concept of chosen names has always struck me as pretty cool, so i was messing around with picking one, and clarion glass stuck! it’s been my username for literally everything for years now, and clarion/clari has become the name i respond to on the internet :)
2. Any side blogs?
yes but also no? i have three, technically, but none are active anymore.
one was set up for a creative project for my greek and roman mythology unit in third year (i was blogging as ariadne, it was a fun time :) ), i’m not gonna give the url to that one because it’s entirely defunct
@honestoperarecaps was set up as a study tool for my opera unit bc i thought i’d remember things better if i vented about the operas i had to watch in a mildly humorous way. it worked, but i only had the time and energy for one post :’) if you want to read my vent about don giovanni act one then click on over i guess :P
and lastly is the good old school of music quotebook! it’s password locked bc it was just for me and my mates to put up the weird quotes that people said around the department (it was back before the SoM had a name change and became “the con,” so that dates it), and my god there were many. damn, i need to have a reread through those :)
@bejewelled2deluxe that was a good time :D
3. How long have you been on tumblr?
a while and a half! i think i got it in about 2014 or 15, but i lurked on my mates’ blogs from about 2012 without actually getting an account. so i lived through superwholock, but vicariously :’)
4. Do you have a queue tag?
ha ha ha ha ha ask another question
(i do not. i post 50 things at once or nothing at all.)
5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?
like i said before, i was a lurker for a good few years before i caved! i’m a fandom nerd, as well as a sucker for a good meme, and the communities that my friends were in seemed pretty chill. i knew for ages i was gonna get a tumblr, but i just didn’t want to distract myself during Important School Times
(i was entirely correct in thinking it’d be a black hole for all my time :’) )
6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?
oh man, there’s a q! i’d done a few drawings from the queen’s thief series about the time i signed up (if you haven’t read it go read it, it’s Fantastic), so i nicked a headshot off one of them bc she looks vaguely slightly like me :P
this one is the queen of eddis! such a good character, i love her to pieces :)
7. Why did you choose your header?
it doesn’t come up in my blog theme on pc so i forget what it is..... is it the lantern tree? it was just a cool pic, i love lanterns in trees yo
blog title i definitely know where that came from, as does anybody who knows me in person,,,, it’s a tempo direction off a piece of music by That Goddamn Dude, and it just clicked with me
8. What’s your post with the most notes?
my crocheted tiny martin photoset :)
9. How many mutuals do you have?
no idea, my love, absolutely none
10. How many followers do you have?
uh 184 apparently but i do need to do a weed for porn bots :/
if you’re part of the 184 and you’re not a porn bot and i don’t know you irl then hello! i don’t know where you’ve come from (tbh it’s probably the chatfic now i think about it) but you are very welcome, and i hope you’re not too put off by my extremely sporadic posting!
11. How many people do you follow?
uh. 70. i have a very,,,, curated,,,, dash experience. :|
12. Have you ever made a shitpost?
not really? i’ve shat out some odd thoughts on tma, if that counts :P
13. How often do you use Tumblr each day?
i like to scroll to the end of my dash (hence the answer to q11 lol), and i get bored easily, so i often scroll through on my breaks and in the morning when i wake up :) that said, i only reblog stuff when i’m on my laptop bc i like to tag ramble and that’s just too much effort on my phone
14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once?
hell no, i’m very conflict averse plus who the hell is going to fight with me? i’m the smallest of small fry :P
15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?
i ignore them bc i do not need to be guilted into reblogging things tyvm (((:
16. Do you like tag games?
for sure! i always take approx 2390358 years to respond to them but they’re cool as hell, plus i like being thought of :)
17. Do you like ask games?
ditto the previous :)
18. Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous?
i’m mutuals with a few Fandom People, but idk if anyone’s like. big famous? and i’m pretty sure nobody who’s big famous follows me back lol
i just like to stick to my small corner of the internet :)
if i’m wrong that’s rad as hell tho!
19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?
nah but i love y’all as friends!
this is the tag part! which i hate doing! if you see this on your dash consider yourself tagged if you want to do it :)
@idris-the-potterhead if you need to take a break from lab work then go for it :)
