also shouldn’t they have realized that tomatoes aren’t poisonous when someone ATE ONE and DIDN’T DIE? why am i so angry about this

some guy probably ate one, thought it was horrible, and spread a horrible and cruel rumor. it's what i would do.

13!

13. What are you really good at ?

I am really good at crying over fictional characters....

ahaha. okay, seriously. I think I'm really good at mothering. I'm basically a mom. ask my roommates. and my siblings. and my mom. 

I like to think I'm really good at writing. Otherwise I would have chosen a different career choice. obviously i'm always learning and getting better, but I'm not horrible.

I'm really good at being the life of the party. that's a lie. i don't like parties. don't make me go.

10, 19, 29, 44 lots of questions mwa ha ha this is the best prank ever you're going to have to do so much scrolling

You’re so silly XD thanks for the questions!

10. What’s you biggest writer pet peeve?

WRITER’S BLOCK. Or when you know exactly what you want to write, like you’ve got it all planned and written in you head but once you get to it you can’t write anything down. or everything you write down isn’t as brilliant as whatever’s in your head. Or when everything you write sucks monkey nuts and you just give up. 

19. Do you prefer writing on a computer or longhand?

Yes. 

I much prefer on the computer because it’s so much faster, but then my add is all, “go on the internet. go on tumblr. go watch your anime.” whilst longhand is nice because I can just write without any qualms and see all my mistakes but it is also long and if i want to change something above it gets messy. so they each have their pros and cons.

29. Which do you find easiest: writing or editing?

Writing. Hands down. Editing means I have to read the crap I just wrote and until I read it, it’s not crap. I don’t like realizing that everything I write is horrible. 

44. What’s the weirdest character concept you’ve ever come up with?

What does this even mean? I have to think… well I wrote this feature once where the side character spoke like Bertie Wooster. That was fun. But that’s not really weird…

I have Steve, who’ve I’ve yet to write. Steve is a burly man in his 50s who is a plumber and fights with his wife Martha constantly. He’s always insisting he is not grumbling or mumbling and pretending to be asleep when he doesn’t want Martha to bug him. He has two sons who he adores but is certain they hate him because they never call him. He used to do theatre in high school. And he awkwardly named his eldest son after his brother (who he hates), but insists it’s a coincidence. I love Steve. That’s probably the strangest character concept I’ve ever had. I’m pretty normal XD

what is the les mis/spn crossover you mentioned called? it sounds super interesting

I got three messages of this within like 5 minutes of scrolling so PUBLIC IT IS!!!

It’s called Under My Wings You Will Find Refuge and I really really enjoyed it. ALAS, it’s a WIP, but it seems to be regularly updated so fingers crossed on that! It’s fantastic writing, superb plot, EXCELLENT PINING, I’m very very very very happy I clicked on it. Superb AU-canon-compliance where it’s boys with guns killing people and pining? holy shit i am ALL OVER THAT

I was just lazily meandering around ao3 trying to decide if I reeeeally wanted to look at Supernatural fic again (an individual on my dash is doing a rewatch and YOU JUST KIND OF GET SUCKED IN TOO????) and I seriously had to stare at the description for a minute because how fucking rare is it to find EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO READ. I was like, no. No waaaay this is going to be what I’m hoping it is but not only was it everything I dreamed it was SO MUCH MORE. go read it. you will be happy.

hi! this is mostly directed at Janna. the movie "The 100-Foot Journey" is coming out soon (i saw an early screening and really really liked it) it's about a family from Mumbai who moves to some village in France and opens up an Indian restaurant across the street from this stuffy French restaurant. and one of the sons of this family is a brilliant chef. and there's a bunch of racial tension with the owner of the restaurant across the street. (1/2)

so if you've seen any trailers i was wondering what your thoughts were? anyway, separate from my question, rock on and your blog is super super awesome and i'm so excited i stumbled across it and oh my god oh my god oh my god *epic huge smile*! cheers!

i actually haven't seen it but i'll be sure to look it up! and thank you this is really sweet <3
