Actually tell them you tagged them
So, here goes...
(Under link so people can ignore it if they want to)
1. What was the last book you read (or are currently reading)?
I am currently reading about seven different books: Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Divergent, The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Casual Vacancy, What is He Thinking?, and a bunch of different mangas. I'm awful at sticking to one book at a time!
2. If you went to Hogwarts what house would you be in (bonus points if you explain why!!! ;) )?
I'd be a Slytherin. I used to think that was because I can be quite cold and manipulating when I want to be but now I prefer to think that it's because I am not influenced by others. I place my loyalties where I like and I don't let myself get swayed by what people say, even if they're right and I'm wrong.
3. If you could go to the airport right now and buy any ticket to any destination, where would you go?
San Francisco, hands down. I want to live/study/work there so right now there's nowhere else I'd rather be.
4. What is your favourite quote? (and who said it?)
"Chocolate is the answer, and I don't give a damn about the question." I don't know who said it but it was written on a birthday card that I received and I love it. Silly.
5. What fictional character do you identify yourself the most and why?
Perhaps Meriadoc Brandybuck. I don't know. He's not a major character but is definitely valued in the story and has some moments of ultimate badassery. And, whilst he's not deemed to be capable of much, he shows heart and determination throughout and doesn't get put down. Maybe, I have never thought about this before so yeah.
6. What song are you listening to right now?
Arrival of the Birds - Cinematic Orchestra. PRETTY!!! :333
7. What languages can you speak?
English is my first language and I can speak some Spanish. I can also speak Latin but no one really speaks that any more, and I'm learning Japanese.
8. Can you play any musical instrument? If yes, what do you play?
I can play Bass Guitar, Clarinet and Piano.
9. If you could live in any past historical period, when would you live?
I'd live in the 1890s because STEAMPUNK I'd do something to make that a real thing.
10. What is your favourite letter of the alphabet and why?
K. It's a cool letter and it's got a kind of badass shape.
11. What is your absolute favourite piece of fanfiction?
I don't read fanfiction that often but one of the most profound ones I remember is called A Wonderful Caricature of Intimacy (x). It's Dramione and I loved it.
And good lord I wish I could keep posting my Sherlock stuff over here. But I guess I'll just be content with Benedict and Martin and the rest of the flawless cast.
children force to fight with arrows in a government tournament to kill each other and apparently some guys love for bread gets in the way, oh and also i think there is some love triangle but they have to kill each other or something. kill me
A person of the same sex I ship them with: Johanna, I guess. I don't mind that ship at all and there are some sort of undertones in Mockingjay. And I think that Johanna is bi/doesn't really care because of her emotional issues and she can't get close to anyone anyway.
A person of the opposite sex I ship them with: Peeta, duh. And that's about it because they're perfect in every way.
An uncommon person I ship them with: Ummmm for a bit there I was worried that I was starting to ship Katniss/Finnick, but I realized that was just a bromance.
A ship that I don’t care for: Katniss/Gale. I don't hate it or anything, and I don't find it repulsive like I do with HP ships...it's just, not my thing. I just don't get it, I guess, or I just think that Katniss/Peeta is better. Also, I'm really uncomfortable with the love triangle in general and would rather pretend that it doesn't exist for that reason.
