you’re completely right though. Angst is cliche and overused (and abused) nowadays
Yessss. It could/would be different if it was tragedy of angst, if that makes sense? Tragedy with timing and reason and moderation, instead of angst just piled pointlessly and continuously on without ever being resolved.

I want to send this to the ask box of almost everyone I know these days.
I me-ean... I not saying you could, but you could.
mrsbuckysbarnes replied to your post:I’m gonna apologize for being in a meta mood...
pREACH. i don’t even follow the show but just based on the debates it seems like her death fits the narrative being told?
It does, it fits it perfectly. There is no other character that could have done what Bev did, who could have unraveled the mystery like she did. I get it, you're mad that she died. I'm not hugely thrilled that she's gone either because Bev was a great character and I love Hettienne, but it happened. There is no show that will suit these people that get hysterical whenever any female character is killed or attacked, and honestly, maybe they need to stop watching television or just stop going out into the world entirely. Women are targeted, it's a fucking fact of life, and it sucks ass, but it's true. Men are not killed or attacked anywhere near as much as women, accept that fact as reality, as much as it pisses me off. Reality sucks, ladies and gentlemen. Be glad that Fuller didn't give us an Allison Argent situation, though that's a damned mess I won't touch any further either.
Rule two: answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new ones
Rule three: tag 11 a few people and link them to the post
Rule four: actually tell them you tagged them
Zai tagged me so long ago wow i am trash
1. If you could be any type of mystical creature, what would you choose? Why?
Fuck. Um. Probably a fairy but not the infantilized kind, the dark Unseelie kind because magic and beauty and immortality and good times.
2. What’s the last song that you listened to?
Come Out and Die by Mikky Ekko
3. Is there any work of (or type of) art/fiction/music/etc. that makes you cry or tear up every time you see/hear it?
Legitimately if you play 'Into Dust' by Mazzy Star anywhere near me I will tear up automatically. Don't do it. I'll punch you.
4. When’s the last time you cried over a book/show/movie?
When I read The Book Thief a month ago. Good lord, did I cry.
5. Is there a song that you just can’t help but dance to?
I don't dance. Ever. Upon any circumstance. But I do headbang to Baba O'Riley by The Who and I am not ashamed. My brother might be embarrassed by my presence right about then but too damned bad.
6. What would you say is the most formative piece of fiction in your life?
Oh goddd. It's sort of a three way tie between A Series of Unfortunate Events, the Harry Potter series, and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke. Or it's a four way tie if you add Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. I can't pick one, Zai, Fuck you.
7. Would you rather be able to speak to any animal, speak any language, or read minds?
My dog probably has nothing to say to me, reading minds is awful from most telepaths I've seen depicted, so omnilingualism it is.
8. Do you have a favorite foreign language or accent?
Irish accents kill me, okay. Slay. Panties fly across rooms. Or maybe that's just Aidan Turner. Or my Irish heritage.
9. What’s your favorite texture?
You're so weird, Zaipie. Ummm. Worn satin, when it's soft and not really slinky anymore. (I have a stuffed animal with very worn satin bits on it. Shut up.)
10. Do you remember who your favorite character was (in anything) when you were really little?
Really little? I was a huge ass Sailor Moon fan when I was in first and second grade, but that was a long time ago.
11. What was your favorite book that you had to read for school? Least favorite?
To Kill A Mockingbird was my favorite, because reasons. I hated most of what we had to read for school because it wasn't literature, it was fluffy state recommended bullshit.
Questions for the tagged:
1. If you could live in one fictional universe for the rest of your life, which would you pick?
2. What is the last TV show that you watched an episode of?
3. Do you believe that pajama pants are okay to wear outside of the house?
4. Underwear or no underwear to bed?
5. Rate your favorite celebrity's ass on a scale of 1 to Idris Elba.
6. Favorite scent?
7. Meet Shakespeare or meet Einstein?
8. Favorite OTP?
9. Heels or no heels ever, that is the question.
10. Is political correctness a necessity or a hinderance?
11. Your celebrity crush is trussed on your bed like Robert Downey Jr. in that Sherlock Holmes movie. What do you do?

(also I was tagged for this three times /squints at all of you. so it's going under a cut cause this is gonna be long as hell)
(skip to the bottom if you just want the new questions)
Tagging: mrsbuckybarnes, dianaaprince, plantagenetic, dearestbofur, kawaiitonystark, and anaxolotladay! /CASUALLY TAGES AERAFEI, TOO, HI. (I hope you see this)
Set one (from Thanh):
What are some of your favorite movies?
Oh gosh this is gonna be quite a list I'm sure, but-- Love Actually is a perennial favorite, as is Fifth Element, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, the first three Harry Potter movies, Lilo & Stitch, Pacific Rim is a new favorite, as is The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Captain America: The First Avenger, Brave, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, How to Train Your Dragon, Rise of the Guardians, Avengers, Seven Psychopaths, X-Men: First Class, Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes, Thor (I'm sure Thor 2 will be on here as soon as I own it), A Bear Named Winnie, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Nausicaa, Decoy Bride... And I'm sure I'm forgetting quite a few but what can I say I have a lot of semi-favorite movies 8| I'm just gonna move on now before this answer gets even longer.
If you were a superhero what would be your superhero name?
I think I took a quiz thing on this once and it ended up being The Brown Textbook or something.
I'd probably go for something animal related, though, to be honest.
Favorite snacks?
My favorite snack is probably a really nice roll with a hunk of mild cheddar cheese and a small bowl of good raspberries. Yeah.
Describe yourself in five words.
Dork, geek, tall, secretly hilarious
What are five cities you’d include in your roadtrip plan?
New York, and a few I can't reveal cause I can't just be telling everyone where my friends live. :|
Favorite AUs for fics/graphics/etc?
Oh goodness, give me space aus all day every day. And like, scottish fae. I cannot get enough.
How are you with secrets?
PRETTY GOOD? I honestly don't really know/can't remember, ahaha. I've not very often had people ask me to keep secrets for them?
I'm pretty damn good at keeping my own secrets, though, I think. Until I want to tell them.
What is your favorite cake flavor?
I'm pretty sure that if you haven't had the lemon cream cake from Olive Garden, you haven't lived.
What do you like most about Tumblr?
The amazing people that I've found here! Obviously. AHAHA
Who are your fictional crushes and why? don’t worry, i have time to listen :|
Oh, gosh. I suppose it all started when I was very young and watched Batman Beyond for the first time... HAHA.
Currently, though, I would... Don't talk to me about Bucky Barnes. I mean, it's at least partially Sebastian Stan's fault, but. I just. There's something about boys that make me think of shadows and knives, and have a pretty face and an easy grace to go with it. I never stood a chance.
And, I mean, John Mitchell.... You could say similar things about him.
(Now I'm recalling back to one of my biggest fictional crushes, Numair. Yeah, from the Wild Magic quartet.)
Set two (from Hillary):
What is your favorite poem?
Probably The Battered Dream Ship, by Edgar A. Guest.
If you could have musical accompaniment to your life, would you take the Broadway dream or push it away?
I wish daily that I had some sort of soundtrack. I'd probably go for mostly instrumental, though, if I could. With occasional choral interludes. And some breakout solos or duets. Yeah.
I listen to music on the bus cause it feels like having a soundtrack.
Did you expect any other answer.
If you could take one person, living, dead, or fictional, on a date, who would it be?
Oh, god. Um. Um.
Can no one be my answer. And not in the Odysseus way.
Uh. I'm just gonna go with like, friendly platonic coffee date.
Except I still can't really think of anyone--
Like, I would say Christopher Marlowe but I feel like that could go really badly. Or like, Ashoka the Great but there'd be something of a language barrier, there.
And, like, most of my other favorites would likely either kill me, or I'd die purely through virtue of being in the same space as them...
This was a terrible answer, I'm sorry.
There's a reason I've never been on a date, I think HAHA
Would you rather be the face of political power or actually pull the strings behind the scenes?
Oh, gosh, you ask really hard questions HAHA
Ehm... Probably behind the scenes, yeah. Especially if I had other awesome people pulling the strings with me! I've never really had any interest in being in the public eye much, so.
Time travel or immortality?
TIME TRAVEL. TIME TRAVEL, TIME TRAVEL. Keep that immortality stuff far away from me, please.
If you could survive after death by becoming an animal, what animal would you choose?
CAT.
That was easy. That's been decided since I was like five.
Raven and black bear run secondaries.
If you could run your fingers through the hair of any celebrity, who would you choose?
Robert Carlyle has amazing hair.
Favorite scent?
The satsuma scent from The Body Shop, probably. Or that smell on your skin when you've been laying in the sun. Yeah.
What is your favorite quote?
Oh, god. It probably changes on an hourly basis, but I return to "I am Jack's medulla oblongata" pretty often.
Would you trade your greatest talent for unlimited wealth?
Dystopia or Utopia?
UTOPIA. I find them fascinating.
Set three (from Thanh):
What is your favorite stuffed animal? Does it have a name and etc…?
I COULDN'T POSSIBLY CHOOSE A FAVORITE. Caramel is a love, though. And Gimpy and Brownie and Blue Elephant and Chubby and Hedwig and Rainbow Frog and... I'm gonna stop here. You get the picture.
I name few of my stuffed animals, most of them just come to be known by their qualities ehehe. They all have their individual personalities, though.
At one point or another most of them were named George or Boris.
What was your blog like when you first joined Tumblr?
We don't talk about those days....... It was mostly Michael Fassbender, actually, HAHA. Not much has changed, there, I suppose. But, yeah, it was pretty terrible. I didn't understand how themes worked until maybe last year.
What genre of shows/movies/books do you generally enjoy?
I DO TEND TO ENJOY A LOT OF SCI-FI. And a lot of Fantasy.
Especially sci fi where they explore pretty shiny technology and alien races and such. I really like the kind of clean white aesthetic and pretty lights in those...
And I think I mentioned my love of all things fae earlier. Also celtic stuff in general. Yeah.
Favorite dessert?
I reassert that if you haven't had Olive Garden's lemon cream cake, you haven't lived.
Also chocolate and lemon gelato is heavenly. Mostly the real stuff-- I haven't actually had any in the states, I don't think. I don't trust it. Sorbet is a really good substitute, though. And that Simple Five ice cream that I think they've possibly stopped selling but was my favorite for a while--
Also strawberry rhubarb pie. A la mode. Yeah.
What is your ~*~dream~*~ job?
Oh goodness, that's a hard question. Possibly being part of the world-building team on games like Guild Wars 2 would pretty much make my entire existence.
What fictional character are you most like?
I get compared to Dory from Finding Nemo a lot. :| Apparently I make a lot of the same faces.
I always identified with Stitch when I was younger, though. (And still.)
WHAT FICTIONAL CHARACTER AM I MOST LIKE?
Is Lilo the right answer here.
Which 5 actors/actresses would you invite to a dinner party?
NONE OF THEM. Ahem.
Okay, putting my awkwardness aside--
Possibly Carey Mulligan, Zoe Saldana, Chris Hemsworth, Michael Fassbender, and Sebastian Stan.
(Except maybe replace Sebastian Stan with James McAvoy just cause he and Fassbender are hilarious and I wouldn't want Mr. Stan to feel too awkward.)
What things/habits annoys you most?
Oh, goodness... I'm assuming this means specifically in people--
Most of the things that annoy me the most are only really annoying when I'm in a certain mood? Like... The way some people move. When they move too jerkily. That sounds weird but seriously when I'm in a certain mood, there are some people that every time they move I feel like flinching, and it's the most annoying thing--
also certain qualities of voices. Certain voices just annoy me a lot.
What song takes you to your happy place? *u*
Winter Song by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson does that really well! Also The Sore Feet Song, by Ally Kerr.

1. If you could be any type of mystical creature, what would you choose? Why?
