For the ask game! 40, 20, 21 :)
40) what is the most interesting item you own?
So I used to have in my possession this 2 foot tall multicoloured penguin statue with big crazy shiny eyes that my uncle got from South Africa.
I took him to uni with me and we kept him around for whenever anyone got too fucked up because then you could look in his eyes (biiiiiig big pupils) and know you were never the most fucked up one in the room (the running joke was walking up to him and asking "Ronald, mate? You alright?" Waiting for a response which never came, then turning to someone else and saying "he took too much, shouldn't have done the second one.") The 9th of November was Ronalds day and we all used to take acid every year to celebrate.
So when I went on my year abroad in the Netherlands naturally I brought him along. Unforch that was 2019-2020 so I was forced to get out pretty quick and could t take him on the bus with me so I left him in the care of my friends at the local anarchist centre, where he remains to this day.

20) if you could revive one TV show that's been cancelled what would it be?
HANNIBAL HANNIBAL HANNIBAL HANNIBAL
21) Do you consider yourself a part of an alternative subculture, is so which one?
Hmmm, not really. I'm not really into boxes and labels in general so it's not something that super resonates with me, or that I see as a part of my identity. I was never an emo as a teenager and my main music taste leans electronic these days.
However I do like goth music and get along well with alternative people, plus I have blue hair and tattoos and piercings so I fit in with that crowd when I'm around them. I'm sadly not really into metal, I'd like to be but it's just not really for me.
So I guess the answer is no in terms of self identification, but I also fit in and have a great time at alternative-leaning events and places and do seek them out to a degree, whether that's rock clubs or like super geeky folks
