Tagged by @queenbovine - I think I figured out how this one works.
1. Do you think aliens exist, and if so, what are they like?
I’m kind of...agnostic on the existence of aliens, I guess? I don’t strongly think they should exist, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they did (more surprised that the moment of discovery would happen in my lifetime - that’s kind of an astonishing generation to be a part of).
If aliens do exist, they will utterly surprise us, and we’ll learn to think about life and intelligence in ways we never considered.
2. If you could learn any language overnight, real or fictional, which would you want it to be?
For a real language, Georgian is famously hard to learn but I’ve always been kind of fascinated by it ever since I saw what their script looked like (they also have words that begin with 8 consonants in a row):
Fictional, the alien language from Arrival. (Such a good movie, I don’t want to elaborate and spoil it)
3. Would you rather be able to shapeshift or turn invisible?
Shapeshift. Much more flexible, and, depending on the rules, you could basically get invisibility for a lot of situations, too. Just turn into an insect. (I’d probably use it to turn into a bird, mostly, though)
4. What’s your favorite smell?
Tea, probably. Also rainy weather.
5. What was your favorite childhood movie?
The Incredibles. (Still astounded by it every time I rewatch it, really.)
6. What’s a family tradition you want to keep up through your adulthood?
Starting Christmas eve dinner by turning out all the lights, then lighting candles one by one as we read scripture
7. If you could marry any fictional character(s), who would it be?
Hmm, this isn’t something I really think about much. Endeavor Morse is an exception that comes to mind.
8. What do you do to relax?
Make a cup of tea, put on music or an audiobook, find something to do with my hands, or some kind of puzzle game.
10. What kind of games do you like playing with others?
Well, in general I love playing games with people (especially complex ones like Betrayal at House on the Hill), but nothing quite matches playing dnd. Probably prefer being a player, but I like dming almost as much. (I miss my dnd group! We’ve been playing over discord but it’s not the same :/)
And 10 questions for the next people to answer -
What’s a book/movie/show you love that no one’s heard of?
In the middle of the night, standing in a field, what song would you sing at the sky a cappella?
Best breakfast someone’s ever made for you?
Do you associate personalities with colors/numbers/animals? Which are you?
If you could live at any other time in history, when would you choose?
Favorite item of clothing you own?
Which is worse, extreme dryness or extreme humidity?
What are you looking forward to?
What time of day do you have the most energy?
What unconventional animal would you like to have as a pet (real or fictional)?
