thank you very much!! from this ask meme:
1. If someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?I suppose for a reading list – tons of fantasy, from Rowling and Tolkien to Brian McClellan and Scott Lynch. Also Russian classic literature, poetry – especially Lermontov – and folklore… oh, also Strugatsky brothers fiction, as well as Kir Bulychev works. Harry Harrison (The Stainless Steel Rat series) was my first sci-fi book, and Alexander Belyaev, The Amphibian Man and Eternal Bread, for example… oh, completely forgot about Redwall series by Brian Jacques. Also Witcher series, by Andrzej Sapkowski! The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny, and Isaac Asimov work. Oof, that is a big list…To recommend a specific watching list… would be weird, since I watch a lot, A LOT of things. But I recommend watching Japanese animation, like Ghibli movies and Ghost in The Shell and Kyoto Animation series/movies! And all movies in my movie tag, and cartoon tag, and anime tag. Also multiple video games tags… But it’s easier to just see what I play on blog, to be honest.To listen… I suppose podcasts by McElroys, and hard rock groups like Guns N’ Roses, also Mylene Farmer… and soundtracks from different media. Definitely The Killers! Also Caravan Palace, The XX, Walk The Moon, Oh Wonder… it’s easier to share my vk.playlist at this point!
6. Are you religious/spiritual?Yes, at least I consider myself so. As most of my family, I am Orthodox Christian, but, however, of unorthodox teachings, if that makes sense? Since I am queer, that initially put a restrain on my own thought on God and religion, and made me detest Christianity as a whole due to queerphobia I’ve experienced from religious people, especially my own mum. But with time, and help of LGBTQ+ friendly people and a priest who himself is queer and considers that there must be change in interpretation of holy texts, since he himself as a historian (before turning to the church) didn’t see any collision between sin and being queer. So now I am somewhat proud of embracing my religious views. Spiritual part is… more confusing and I cannot put everything in a simple answer, I apologise.
13. Inside or outdoors?Depends on multiple factors. Weather, mood, something happening, events, also seasons and what clothes I could wear… So both!
