"não, para ser muito sincero." oscar torceu os lábios, disfarçando com um sorriso sacana a sua verdadeira irritação. porque morgana o irritava, um pouco. qualquer um mais petulante que ele o irritava, definitivamente. e era o caso dela. "na nuca, é isto?" o sorriso ostentado só crescia, porque ele mal podia esperar pela oportunidade de provocá-la. tanto irritá-la como realmente provocá-la. era habitual para ele trabalhar com runas. fora a primeira magia que aprendera, ainda quando chegara em oz. o maldito castelo era completamente enfeitiçado por runas complexas, que agiam de acordo com as vontades de oscar e da própria construção (sim, que tinha vida). e, normalmente, ele não precisava tocar em uma superfície para marcá-la com uma runa. o simples gesto de mãos era suficiente para que cravasse, vez ou outra propriamente tocando ou utilizando de uma caneta rúnica para o entalhe. mas, para aquele em específico, ele fez questão de tocar na pele da bruxa. os dedos afastaram os cabelos castanhos que recobriam sua nuca. correndo ali como se conhecessem aquelas curvas, ele avisou baixinho que iria fazê-lo e então recostou a superfície do indicador sobre o ponto onde marcaria. ali, a runa formada causaria a sensação de um ferro ardente sendo esfriado sobre a pele, deixando para trás o selo em queimadura. esteticamente não era preocupante, pois não seria visto, mas era doloroso. ele sorriu. "doeu? eu pensei que demônios não sentissem dor."

Questions from frenchlellama:
If you could only live in one season, what would it be, and why?
I was like "of which show" for a second, ugh, dumb. Probably Autumn because I hate the hotter weather and while spring is pretty it's either when all the snow is melting or when all the bugs start to come out. Autumn has the nice colours and it's cooler and nice clothes are in shops and stuff. Maybe winter tho because snow and nice warm clothes and Christmas.
What is one person you’d like to meet, dead or alive, and what would you say to them?
Bradley James and i would tell him i like his face in an unhealthy non stalkerish somewhat stalkerish way like you probably Hank Green because we share a love of science and he was really one of the first people who got me to be proud of my nerdiness instead of ashamed.
If there was one problem you could overcome in the world (poverty, war, prejudice, etc), which would you choose any why?
This is such a tough choice. Like I wanna say prejudice because it is the root of so many things and perhaps one of the main things I've been hearing about and would help people to get equal pay and stop discrimination and it's just a really sickening problem. But at the same time hunger causes thousands to die (as does war but in a different way) and if it could be cured then it would definitely help to stop a lot of worry and pain for families that don't earn enough as well as for developing countries. So probably hunger.
If you could meet any band ever?
Not sure, maybe You Me At Six or Avenged Sevenfold. Probably YMAS tho
Do you write? If so, what do you write? Journals, poems, nonfiction, fiction? If not, write a line of fiction about something you did today.
I do write, and it's something I absolutely adore which is something people probably wouldn't guess from my pitifully small vocabulary. I just lack the eloquence to write as well as I'd like to and the details necessary to create and intricate and well structured fantasy world. Basically I write fiction. At the moment I'm trying to get my book started, I've successfully done nanowrimo for three years now so I'm counting that as experience. But before starting I'm making myself sit down and draw myself a map (I'm like 1/4 done with that so far) histories for the places, names, character descriptions and cultures. Everything I'd need to create a realistic world since so far I've only ever attempted plot. I'm hoping for a convincing result.
What was your favorite book you had to read for school? Least favorite? Why?
My favourite was probably Lord of the Flies. I despised it at first and didn't really read it much but then I forced myself to read it at home in the comfort and place I normally would do read a book and it worked, I rather enjoyed it. For my least favourite idk, I only ever remember reading LOTF and Skellig.
What’s one memory you wish could be put in a pensieve (Harry Potter: a bowl in which you deposit a memory to observe from a third person point of view) and saved forever?
Either going to the Harry Potter Studio Tour although I pratically photographed every inch of that set and still remember a lot of it, or the time my god parents took us to Alton Towers and got me to ride proper roller coasters, I've loved them ever since and it was one of the best days.
If you could go back and tell your ninth grade self only five words of advice, what would you tell them?
Gosh I honestly don't know. Also I think ninth grade is maybe Year 8 for us? I can't tell myself it'll get better because I think if anything it stayed just as bad for a while, and if I said, do the work or you'll regret it, I'd probably still procrastinate. No clue.
What is one thing you want to do before you die?
Do something important, accomplish something.
What’s one thing you take for granted, but are grateful for? Why (are you grateful for it)?
My parents. Despite all the flaws and the bad times, there are certainly a lot of good elements to our relationships and I am very close with them. I've realised that it could have been a lot worse and if not for them I'd probably be in a much worse place.
What’s your favorite part of yourself? Body or personality wise. Why?
I know this sounds genuinely stupid but I just can't think of something, because every time I think of something all I see is something to improve not something I like. I'll come back to this.
Questions from unironicallyardentnerd:
To the best of your knowledge, what were the first words you uttered today?
Um, I think it might have just been "I've just come downstairs to get a cookie" cause my dad saw me in the kitchen?
What color are the blankets on your bed?
My duvet is black/white flower patterns but my blanket on top is a sort of sandy beigy colour or 'mink' as I think it was called.
If you could have been born in any time, past or present - when would it be, and what would your life be like?
If future was an option I'd say that if it was a better future, but out of the known times I'd say when I was was pretty okay because as much as I love medieval times I've no desire to romanticize the past. Back then there was short life expectancy awful unhygienic conditions and awful lifestyle because of the lack of technology and knowledge we have today so I don't imagine I'd enjoy it. I'm not sure about other times like Ancient Rome and that sort of thing because I didn't learn much about it in my courses so obviously I can't go for that time period either. So yeah, when I was born was alright.
4. What is something you do that no one really knows about (like, lip-syncing in the mirror, talking to yourself, etc)?
Idk, maybe the two above a little, I bob my head sometimes like I'm listening to music even when I'm not for no apparent reason I think just cause I'm fidgety.
What are your top five most-played songs on your iPod / mp3 player / whatever?
Ugh I'm going to update this later when my iPod is charged but even then I'm pretty sure it's going to be stuff from the Hobbit soundtrack cause that's all that's on it atm.
What is the last video you watched on Youtube?
Carrie's last video (x)
Do you have any secret worlds in your head that you like to daydream about? What is it like?
I write fiction in my head all the time. I have my main fantasy world that I'm trying to build for my novel so until I have the main details down about it and the characters have more depth I just play the scenes through in my head mostly with my two main characters. The closest I can compare it to is medieval, something like middle earth or maybe westeros. Other than that of course there's the occasional thought in my head about real world scenarios and stuff, or any fanfiction plots I can come up with which I tend to pretend are actual episodes done in the style of the show.
What is one thing you are looking forward to in March?
This question proves how embarrassingly late this is... woops. Idk what's in next march... easter?
If you had unlimited money but you can only spend it on yourself, what would you buy?
House, games consoles, games, TVs, so many blurays, boxsets, fandom merch, steampunk stuff, many clothes, fandom merchandise, cameras, film equipment, employ people so I could make my own show, cinema, and island, concerts, private concerts, buy myself a way to meet my favourite celebrities, erm... idk just buy basically everything if i could
Congratulations, you’re a superhero. What’s your power? Your secret identity? Your costume? Your arch nemesis?
Oh gosh I feel like I wanna do this properly, I'll answer this one later.
Pick one meaningful thing you have in your room and tell us about it. Where’s it from? What does it mean to you?
I guess other than perhaps the cuddly toy I've had basically since I was born it's reminders of times I've had, like the little Yoshi toy me and my sister won when we went to Drayton Manor last summer or the concert tickets on my wall.
Questions from myownrubicon:
What is your earliest memory?
It's a weird one, I remember so little of my childhood (probably by choice, it wasn't thrilling) so the first thing I remember is sitting in front of the TV in my pink velvet minnie mouse trousers and a blue shirt. That's the memory I can't remember what was on TV or even if it was turned on but yeah, very boring.
What was your first username ever used (e-mail, social networking site, gamer tag, etc.)?
Aaaah, hmmm, I can't think. My first email I'd rather not say because we all know that first email address is something better left in the shady places of the internet, after that I used kinkatchu for my first regular username because I love unique usernames. That way when I sign up to shit there never taken and I don't need to add any stupid ass numbers. I've only used one since that username.
Pie or cake?
why must i choose cake, sorry pie
What is your favorite childhood movie?
Hmm, idk, I think my favourite movies are stuff I still reblog today like Shrek and Disney stuff. I can't pinpoint a particular one other than maybe Shrek itself or I seem to remember I really liked Hercules and Aladdin.
Are you a part of any extracurricular activities? If you are, what ones and why?
Not really, never have been other than when I was in my schools choir or musical group.
Do you prefer country or city areas?
Country definitely, I like trips to the city but I really love nature and forests and fields, surprising really when you consider I barely step outside and shy away from sunlight light a vampire
How long have you been on Tumblr?
Maybe eight months now I think, I started using my tumblr account I'd made about three months before but not touched since it was made and I started using it about August last year,
Breakfast, lunch, or dinner?
I rarely have breakfast or lunch, so tea.
What is your favorite material possession?
Maybe my laptop, I'm certainly on it enough, or my childhood bunny toy that I still have today
What was your favorite grade in school?
Took me a second to understand this cause I was like... A*? Then I realised you meant the equivalent of like sixth grade and whatever. My favourite year was maybe Year 11? cause it was my last year in high school, or maybe Year 9. Honestly I wasn't keen of any of them.
What’s the best present you’ve ever gotten?
None really stand out which sounds awful. Some things I really like are things my mum got me that I didn't ask for, like a decorative hair flower I mentioned I liked and then she bought me or this really nice fluffy blanket cause she knew I was after one.
Questions from unironically--enthusiastic (and unironicallyardentnerd cause she kept the same ones):
What are your fandoms?
Ooh boy, quite a list, (I'm not sure if you mean I actively contribute to the fandom or just like, I consider myself a fan of so I'll just do the later) BBC Robin Hood, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, Supernatural, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Star Trek, Merlin, The Mortal Instruments, Hannibal, Adventure Time, Elementary Avengers/Marvel things, My Mad Fat Diary, Nerdfighteria, some Youtubers.
What’s your favourite way to spend a free day? (RHYME!)
All my days are free nowadays, hehe, but some of my favourite things are gaming or marathoning shows.
What are you studying in school?/ What do you do as a job?
Currently I'm unemployed and not studying because unexpected gap year, but I'll be going to uni in September to study psychology which should hopefully be good.
Have you recently started watching/reading/doing anything new?
Yees, Hannibal and Adventure Time, Hannibal was brilliant, why did no one help Will Graham and AT has my heart. I can't think of anything else cause I've gone off reading all together for no apparent reason which sucks.
Favourite music?
At the moment I'm really into soundtracks, they're just so beautiful and lovely. Other than that, bands which I've been neglecting to listen to but are my favourites are You Me At Six, Avenged Sevenfold, My Chemical Romance, Paramore (I used to like at least), All American Rejects, Bullet for my Valentine, so mostly rock/metal sorta stuff.
What are your religious views?
Religion isn't really something I put a lot of thought it, I don't prioritize it or set aside some time to pray or anything. My religion is Christian even though I'm not sure I particularly qualify. I feel like there could be a God but equally I'm not exactly certain in that assertion by any means which makes me wonder do I really believe it at all if I question it so much. I think maybe part of that is me wanting to believe that God exists. I'm almost certain the bible is just stories and should never be taken at face value, that you should take the good parts from the stories and try to apply those to your life, get the message and not the tiny details.
As for others, I think if people wanna believe and put faith into something then that's brilliant and good for you but a lot of people lose sight of what it's about while they've too busy fighting over the specifics, people even killing in the name of their faith is so confusing to me because you have just lost the principles of what it's about. I think a lot of what religion is about is teaching good values of being kind to your fellow man and accepting of them. That's what I try to take away as a Christian, is let people pray to who or what they want, but don't steal or lie or do any of the bad stuff, keep to those important values and try to be a good person. I'm not saying I've never done anything bad, but if I take anything from the religion I claim to be is that those values are what I aspire to.
Wow this sure is long for something I never think about huh?
Anything ( books, film, events ect) coming up soon that you’re excited about?
Yes, yes, YES. There's the Desolation of Smaug and Captain America 2 and Thor 2 omg. And also City of Bones which also has Aidan Turner in which has made me so much more excited.
Would you say you’re an introvert or an extrovert?
Introvert definitely. I don't think I'd survive without my quiet thinking time and the few times where I've been put in an environment where I can't escape people I just get so frustrated and annoyed.
What’s your favourite thing about yourself? ( we should all try to think of this more often)
We should but again I can't think of much. As I answered already, I know this sounds genuinely stupid but I just can't think of one, because every time I think of something all I see is something to improve not something I like. I'll come back to this.
Do you play any video games? Which ones?
I play Skyrim, War in the North, Dragon Age: Origins, the Tomb Raider games, Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, Aragorn's Quest, Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Assassin's Creed, there might be more but that's all I can think of right now
Are there any blogs that you wished you were friends with? Who?
Yup, you ;D
timelordxvictorious15/renee because she's is so funny and nice. Other than her a lot of the LOTR fandom like peregrint/myla fattybolger/maya elijahwood/isa samwiseg/via and bombursbelly/ciara because they sound like good nice people. Also basically just everyone I mutually follow (who I don't already talk to) so I won't list them, I talk to a few but I find it difficult to initiate conversation especially if they have sooo many followers. there's probably more than all these too
Questions from otterknowbynow:
Do you play board games? What are your favorites?
First off I thought that said how do you play board games and I was just gonna say competitively, srs I'm waaay too competitive.
I do play them occasionally, sometimes online and sometimes on the actual board if my family will consent to it. Favourites are scrabble, monopoly the home wrecker, chess, draughts/checkers is alright too.
How many countries have you been to? Which was your favorite to visit? If you’ve only been in your home country, which would you most like to visit?
I haven't travelled anywhere cause we could never really afford a passport, as for places to travel idk it doesn't really bother me that I haven't so I don't think about it. I've barely travelled around my own tiny country enough. I guess I've heard good things about Australia from my friend that visited although there's bugs, my parents say Spain is nice so maybe there hmm.
Would you rather have a tarantula or a rat as a pet? Why?
Rat, rat, RAT RAT RAAAAAAAAAAT. Spiders scare the everloving shit out of me even though they shouldn't, I'm terrified.
What is your favorite hobby requiring physical labor? If you don’t have one, what would you most like to try/learn?
Ermm, I can't think of any that do other than the occassional wii game that requires movement. I really wish I could dance well so that'd be the one I'd wanna learn if that qualifies.
Have you ever cut your own hair? Someone else’s?
Nope and nope, although for the second I've wanted to.
What is a color that you wear a lot?
Not sure, the colour of my pajamas hehe, he. It used to be black but now I guess I own a fair bit of blue as well or just neutral colours.
What is your favorite element (on the periodic table)?
My mind has gone completely blank rn. I can't think of any that stands out in terms of electron arrangement or that reacts particuarly differently cause I've forgotten everything. Maybe Sodium?
What is your favorite classical element?
I couldn't think of what you meant for a second. Gotta be either fire or water, those are definite favourites but I can't seem to pick between them.... water/ice?
Would you rather have a camel or a llama?
Llama
What are your thoughts on legos?
Legos are awesome, reminds me off my childhood, also has good games. But they're painful underfoot
If you had to start learning a musical instrument at the age you are now, what would you choose?
I'm already learning piano and guitar or rather improving on what I know, but I've always always wanted to learn to violin, it just makes such a beautiful sound, or cello. Other instruments I'd like would be the ukelele and saxophone.
Questions from jammeke:
What makes you laugh?
My own jokes ;) eheh. Other than that not sure, TV shows, cat videos, inside jokes that make very little sense to others, other peoples pain and... jokes?
Favourite quote by your favourite character?
This requires me to know my favourite character and I'm not really sure. Also quotes tend to be things I appreciate at the time but I never seem to really remember them. One of my favourite characters is Samwise so maybe when he gives the long speech that ends with "That there's some good in this world Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for." It may not be the most interesting quote but I do love that speech and then Frodo cries and it just gives me feels and I could remember it without looking up which is probably a good sign for me.
Favourite kind of Magnum?
Gonna assume we're talkin ice cream rn and not guns. White chocolate probably :)
How many gifs do you have saved?
Oh god knows, there's all the ones from my gifsets not to mention probably twice that for failed ones, ones over size limit and redos. Add onto that the over 1,500 gifs in my reaction gifs folder reserved for insanely specific situations and other ones scattered around my folders. I'm really bad at deleting unnecessary things okay?
Have you ever read fanfic about a show you’ve never watched/book you’ve never read?
Hmm, I think maybe once a Destiel snippet I read when it appeared on my dash I might have read even though I hadn't watched the show at the time, but I've never actively sought any out. OH NO WAIT, that bible fan fiction snippet on tumblr, I read a bit of that and I've never read the bible through.
Do you have any unusual talents?
Nope, nothing I can think of, can't think of any regular talents either tbh.
Are your rl family/friends aware of your fandom activities?
My family are definitely aware of it, especially after red wedding when I was basically running around crying and saying because red wedding. They know about my tumblr friends and stuff too. My closer rl friends are really aware I think, two follow me on tumblr, as for the others some know some of it but not the extent cause we mostly talk about their interests and not mine cause it kind of bores them.
What’s the first site you visit every morning?
Pretty sure it's tumblr, no question.
Do you still buy CDs?
Yes, when music interests me enough I do, for the past year or so I've gone off it though so I've only got a couple of new ones. When I do buy music it's CD form not online copies.
Which author has had the most influence on your writing?
This literally changes to the most recent book I've read if I like their writing style. Like if I've last read something in first person or third person I'll most likely opt for that. I think perhaps Christopher Paolini more because of genre than anything else.
Any unpopular headcanons you’d like to share?
When I think of headcanons my brain puts them in the things I think happened/would like too but not as headcanons. I can't think of any basically.
What are your thoughts on koalas?
They're koala-tea *buh-dum-chh*

When did you join tumblr?
About 9 months ago now, at the very end of August 2012
Name your top 5 ASOIAF/GOT characters (if you read/watched it)

What is your MBTI type (if you know it)
I took this ages ago but I can't remember so I'll just retake it.
It says INFJ (with strong I, distinctive N, slight N and F)
What place in the world would you like to visit most?
Middle earth, but failing that probably New Zealand where Hobbiton is or Disneyland or something.

Not sure, I think maybe the elves or the hobbits, probably elves.
Do you prefer night or day?
Night at the moment.
What is your zodiac sigh?

What fictional world would you choose to live in if you could (or would you rather just stay in this world)?
What is your favourite genre of films/shows/books?

Thank you for so much for tagging me :D I am an unappreciative useless paperclip earthworm for not doing this sooner and I will grovel for your forgiveness.
