Thank you @fireawaynjh & @gonebutstill for tagging Nina from I Know The Feeling!!
Rules: Choose a couple of favourite photos/gifs of your character! Copy and paste the questions down below! Answer as if you’re the character that’s been tagged! Then tag some characters/authors you would love to see answer next! (BTW, you’re also allowed to tag an author again if they have more than one character you want to answer these questions!)
i’m quite late to the game, so i’m convinced all characters that i know of have been tagged. but if yours haven’t, i’m tagging you & your character!!
1. If it’s 1am and you’re still awake and wanting to talk to someone, who do you call and what do you talk about?
Toni, mostly because I don’t have to call her. I can just pop into her room and talk to her. I used to talk about how much I hate my job but since I no longer hate my job, I’d talk about my colleagues, the interesting they did at work on that particular day or I’d talk about Niall.
2. Are you a part of any fandoms? Or at least a big fan of something in particular?
I was a huuuuge fan of Doctor Who. Still am, but not as huge as back then.
3. Are you the big spoon or the little spoon?
i like being the little spoon.
4. If your mom text you right now, how would that make you feel?
i’d feel both happy and sad because each time we text, i’d get the strongest urge to just drop everything and go home. i’m a family person so i try to go home as much as possible -- if my schedule allows -- and i try to talk to them at least twice a week.
5. Have you ever been in love? Why/Why not?
i don’t know. i don’t think i have. i mean, i thought i was in love when i was with my ex, but now that i’ve thought about it, it didn’t feel like it.
6. Can you be trusted with a secret?
yeah, of course!
7. Who was your childhood best friend? Are you still friends?
Allison. We’re still friends. I follow her on Instagram and sometimes we’d comment on each other’s posts.
8. What are three songs currently on your everyday playlist?
i’ve been listening to old songs lately so these are my top three:
not over you / gavin degraw
she moves in her own way / the kooks
you’ve got the love / florence + the machine
9. What is your secret talent?
I always, always wake up earlier than my alarm clock no matter how late i sleep the night before. it’s like my head is an alarm clock.
10. Have you pictured your future? If so, what does it look like?
Thinking about the future makes me anxious but I’d like to think that in the future, I’m still loving my job and in a better place.
6. Last, this line summed the entire story up, "Maybe, just maybe, the universe decided to throw them together again because they needed each other to go through the confusing part of their lives. Niall with his research and Nina with her job."
it does, doesn’t it? the fic wasn’t supposed to end there but then those lines came to me and i was like ok that’s it i’m using you as my ending!! glad you enjoy the exchange, rory. thank you thank you thank you for the asks ❤️
5. This wasn't just a one-shot based on a past crush, it was a substance story indeed. Had such a deep meaning, for me especially. You don't even know what a masterpiece you wrote eriza. THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES FOR WRITING THIS. Annndd I have spammed you again.
wowowowowow this is a massive compliment. i’m grinning like an idiot right now. rory, you have no idea how much this means to me (maybe you do haha) but ahhhhh a substance story?! wow thank you! i was so worried people wouldn’t like what i wrote mostly because i was rushing when i wrote it. finished half of the story in less than 24 hours (i’d like to thank the eucalyptus candle that kept me calm haha). THANK YOU FOR READING. and no worries about spamming me, i love it!
4. The entire thing leading to the date, it was more than perfect. It was just exactly how it should've happened. And perfect was when Nina proposed that they should do mini-golf often because it was something he loved in the past, she is just right for him, no denials.
ahhh, the date. i didn’t want to rush it, but in a way, niall has waited soooo long to ask nina out so to finally be able to do that, whew what a relief for him haha as for nina... well, nina wants the best for niall even though she just knows him and i think that’s what happens when you meet the right person, you know? you want to see them happy and that’s why nina suggested they should do mini-golf a regular thing.
3. Also each of the side characters were pure brilliance - I've never loved Liam and Louis more than in this fic (Liam gets Niall, everytime mate). Toni is best friend's goals and Elaine is also partially me ("Please don't flirt with me" - I'd deffo say that, lmao)
i had SO much fun writing liam and louis!!! i was torn whether i wanted to use the other 1d boys or some random characters but then i was like huh they’d be perfect for these roles so liam and louis it is. as for toni, she’s that one friend who’s the complete opposite of you and yet you can’t live without her/him. and elaine is a cutie. she’s so nice & polite, the kind of friend you need in your life tbh!!
2. The scene where Nina encourages Niall at The Brew and he finishes majority of his paper once he goes home, was so so so realistic. Because I know when in times of excessive load, all you need is that one person who believes in you and then you can move mountains, just to make them proud. Also the interview.. that mutual believe in each other was so important.
i know, without doubt, that if someone tells me that they believe in me, i’d get motivated and get my work done -- that’s how niall feels. sometimes, all you need is someone to tell you that they believe in you and immediately you’d feel better about yourself. that’s what nina’s doing to niall ugh we Stan
1. "I Know the Feeling." I seriously know each and every feeling Niall and Nina went through. The story had everything so personal to me. It had the kind of supportive relationship I desire, it had the entire crush thing (pretty personal recently), it had a workaholic Niall who waits too long and goes home instead of going big (that's exactly ME ME ME) - it was as if an alternative version of my life (though I don't have my Nina yet).
aw, it makes me incredibly happy to know that people can relate to what nina and niall are feeling. i know i can, which is why i wrote it that way. in 2k19 we want nothing but supportive relationships!!! i’m gonna answer your asks one by one because ahhhh so many things to talk about!!
