1, 14, 16?
1. what’s your favourite kitchen appliance?
I don't have as many as I would like, but of the things I do own... asking me to choose?? I'm going to say my slow cooker, but shout-out to the immersion blender and old electric spice grinder and garlic press and kitchen scale...
(...that said, if a mortar and pestle counts, that wins. mine is green and marbled and beautiful and I love her)
14. what’s a hobby you’d like to get into?
I would love to learn cross-stitch or relearn to crochet, but unfortunately I'm not a person who can do activities like that while watching something, and since I prefer to read books/fic instead of listen to them, I simply have no time :(
16. how long have you known your oldest friend?
hmm... oldest friend turned more acquaintance I still talk to on occasion, since the first grade, so about 30 years holy shit lmao. oldest close friend, since freshman year, almost 23 years.
7, 25!
7. your preferred writing fonts
Honestly, I don't have one. Maybe if I opened google docs I'd find the one I had standard (I think it was roboto?), but I'm currently writing on notepad while I figure out where I want to base my writing since google can eat my ass lol, and I can't be fucked to mess around with font when the more pressing matter is getting words down 🤡
25. besides writing, what are your other hobbies?
Reading? Lmao I also enjoy cooking and doing sourdough things, as well as cosplaying and going to cons when I can!
<3
15 & 17!
15. What’s your favourite plotless fic you have written?
I mean....... what counts as plot. lmao. I guess to not have to ponder that too much, and because picking my favourite anything is impossible, I'm still really proud of my full collection of boyfights kinktober prompt fills, A Study in Boyfights. I had to really lock in and flex major creative muscles, and even though I didn't quite get them all done in time, I DID produce something for every day and I had a lot of fun experimenting. Every year I'm like 'I want to do that again so bad' and then I don't! 💀
(seeing the 2018 posting year and EXCUSE ME. ALMOST 8 YEARS AGO. what the f-)
17. Past or present tense? Why?
I have grown very fond of present tense, though I still enjoy past tense. The shift happened when I got into roleplaying and it became more instinctual to write that way. There's also a very particular flavor to fic I read in present tense that's just delightful--feels like I'm drawn in as a quiet voyeur vs just taking in a story.
YOU GOT THEM BOTH OOPS. new ones: paper, strawberry
<3
paper - favorite children’s book?
The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine (shoutout Ella Enchanted)
strawberry - favorite fruit?
much like scents, this feels impossible to have a single answer to, but I've been having a love affair with cherries the last few years (shoutout tomatoes for the answer no one ever expects but FUCK they're good)
shampoo, sweetheart? (for the soft ask game, not a weird overly friendly offer lmao)
this gave me a real good chuckle lmao (and I do think it's very funny that everyone so far has wanted to know the same thing, so even though you sent another ask, I'll still answer these again!)
shampoo - favorite scent?
waking up to someone cooking breakfast that probably includes bacon
sweetheart - favorite mug/cup?
previously, it was a cute, rotund, off-white cat mug, but it has some spider cracks now so I'm too nervous to use it :(
6 and 20, perhaps?
6. what’s your go-to recipe when you want to make something that requires minimal effort?
"minimal effort" and proper "recipe" don't really go together in my head lol... generally, pasta with some kind of jarred tomato sauce (maybe some cheese to top), or some kind of dressed up eggs in a pan (dressed with whatever herbs/quick vegetable I have on hand) (maybe some cheese and/or hot sauce lmao)
20. what’s your favourite beverage?
one??? uhhh... umm... fuck. ginger beer? the list of things I don't enjoy drinking is WAY shorter than the list of things I do!
