these are some really nice questions (thank you ruth rollsofrice!)
1) what’s your favorite trope (in any kind of media)?
Currently the Berserk Button, specifically where if anyone even so much as scratches Eggsy, Harry scratches their corneas. I’ve written it twice, now I just need to read a whole fic on that and nothing but that. :3
2) pick a typical fandom au (coffeeshop, space, you know the drill) and describe your likely or ideal role in that au.
It’s probably a bad thing that I don’t actually know all that many typical fandom AUs but... steampunk, I guess? I’d be something like Dr. Delbert Doppler from Treasure Planet but an actual doctor, or Dr. Joshua Sweet from Atlantis: The Lost Empire (which is a fucking great movie, by the way). Just living up to the med student cliche.
3) what does your username mean?
Dark skeleton born out of the darkness of the desert, the Fideliant is a Rare Game enemy found in the Dalmasca Westersand in Final Fantasy XII. -(x)
4) an Important Cultural Artifact previously believed to be lost has just been found. what would you want it to be?
I am historically and culturally bankrupt and thus I can’t really give a proper answer! I guess it’d be the missing piece of the Rosetta Stone, just so I’d be able to get a full picture of it for the photo album.
5) how seriously do you take personality tests (mbti, character alignments etc)?
They’re fun to do but for the most part, meh. I spend too much time worrying about my own mind to actually consciously psychoanalyse myself.
6) do you believe in writer’s block?
Believe it? I’ve lived it too much to not believe in it.
7) what’s your most-played song?
I’ve been shuffling around oodles of study music over the last week but I’ve come back to Airplanes an awful lot these past few days.
8) immortality - yes or no? (everyone else dies.)
Yes. Turned out alright for Jack Harkness, didn’t it?
But seriously though, I would.
9) favorite lyric or line from a poem, and why.
This is so hard... what am I supposed to choose
Your body told me in a dream it’s never been afraid of anything. -(x)
I wouldn’t say it’s my favourite, but it definitely came to mind -- it’s just so surreal??? Idk I’ve been trying to figure out this poem for years and never really understood what any of it meant, but I always get this weird chill up my spine at that last line, so. Yeah.
10) never talk to anyone ever again, or never be able to have a moment’s peace?
Never talk to anyone ever again. I’m doing a fairly good job at it at the moment anyway! Also this says nothing about non-verbal communication OH SO NOW WHAT
11) your regular coffee order, if you drink coffee. if you don’t, whatever you’d have instead.
I don’t drink coffee (well, I used to when 3-in-1 instamix used to be a thing) so I usually get the Darjeeling if they have it. Depending on the flush, darjeeling teas are usually fairly sweet and I like sweet teas. At any rate, I don’t really order tea outside of specialty shops where you get the real deal -- actual, whole tea leaves you can see and re-steep -- and neither should you, because why would you want to pay eighty pence for a cup of Twinings when you can get a hundred bags of Fairtrade Earl Grey for two pound fifty pence at Sainsburys?
