Hey friend! Happy First Friday of the Year!👋👋

For the ask game, numbers 8 & 14

Hi friend! 👋

Happy New Year/Friday!

8: Favourite month of the year and why?

Hmmm, not sure I have one tbh and it sort of dependent on where I am. Back home in the UK, probably June, cos it's warm (it's rarely ever hot lol) and light until really late. Here, it's too hot & humid in the summer, so maybe September when it's still warm but the leaves are changing up north

14: If you could give a TED talk on anything, what would you talk about?

Pahaha, I mean, public speaking is my idea of a nightmare tbh, so I would not give a TED talk unless forced to. But if I take this question to mean, is there something you are knowledgeable about, then hmm, idk maybe British comedy? There are folks much more knowledgeable, though. I dont think I'm qualified to give a talk on anything hahah

Thanks for your ask 😁🧡🧡

17. do you believe in luck and superstition? Do you carry any lucky items or follow any lucky rules?

Not so much, no. I have little things I say that I don't really believe in, mainly for fun, I suppose. It's hard for me to believe in luck though. As far as superstition, I don't necessarily believe in it, but I'm not going to ignore something if someone is really serious about it (thinking of that one post about not doing things to anger the fae just in case, or to not go into the hills at night). I guess maybe the closest thing I have to a superstition like that is that "the fae took it". If something goes missing, the fae took it, and whenever they take something, they give something in return, usually something else that had gone missing prior. I guess similar to that is my rule of thumb that I'll accidentally leave something behind at my destination when I go on a trip. A mirror when visiting my mother, a flashlight on a camping trip. It's to the point I joke about bringing an intentionally sacrificial item to get left behind. I suppose I want to believe in that stuff but just... Don't, mostly.

Anyways ramble over, hope you found that interesting.

(Didn't realize I'd accidentally turned anons on. Thank you for being kind whoever you are)

ask game: 5, 13, 14, 15 🌻⭐🌝💛⚡🌼

omg hiii beloved hope u are well!! thank u for the ask!!!

5. What’s your drink of choice? (Coffee/tea order, alcohol of choice, pop, etc)

oooooh i LOVE a black-and-white mocha (half mocha half white mocha), my alcohol of choice is hmmm usually a jack'n'coke but i love a cosmo or an amaretto sour, and my pop of choice is coke zero LOL if im at a restaurant or smth my go-to is a coke zero/diet coke tho, for purposes of succinctly answering this ahskljdlksfj

13. what’s something you learned recently?

oooh GREAT question. hmmm. i think semi-recently (like in the past 2 months) i learned that you can unravel a heart!! hearts are actually a wrapped up muscle that can be unrolled and flattened out, and your heart pumps blood the same way wringing a towel gets water out of it :) really delighted by this one!!! also recently did a little research spiral into american phone area codes. did you know the lower the number, the more important the region was considered? i.e., 217 is more important than 816 -- because 2 is fewer clicks on the dial pad than 8!

14. if you could give a TED talk on anything, what would you talk about?

OUGH UHHH HMMMM.... great question!! at the moment i dont feel qualified to give a ted talk on ANYTHING... i dont feel like i know the lore of anything that deeply... hm hm hm... easy answer is poetry, i think, particularly the way different sounds/letters convey different feelings (plosives vs liquids, etc)??? thats a fun one!

15. What’s a piece of advice you find yourself giving a lot?

HAHA honestly probably something about the sunk cost fallacy? i think that's something i recognize often in the ppl around me and find myself pointing out because it's easy advice to give without seeming overbearing (sort of a JUST BREAK UP W HIM type of advice but applicable across anything LOL)

#17 from the ask game you just posted??? I'm early 🤭

Hi lovely!

Haha, you are good! 🫶

17: Do you believe in luck and superstition? Do you carry any lucky items or follow any lucky rules?

Meh, sort of, but not seriously. I have a cute, tiny stuffed koala bear named Lucky that I've had since I was a kid. It's currently buried in the understorage in the boot of my car - he's always been in my vehicles. In the old days, he was in my sports bag lol.

I don't walk under ladders, which I guess is superstitious, but tbh it's more that I don't want something falling on my head lol.

Thanks for your ask 😁🧡🧡

2. What movie have you watched most recently? What did you think of it?

Oddly enough I watched "Children Against Wizards". It's a Russian propaganda film, literally made by or with the support of "Propaganda Film.". And Russian conservatives do not really like Harry Potter because of the connection to magic that supposedly against God. That's why we have so many books that aren't even in category B, but maybe even Z (get the joke?).

The film is terrible on every level, from the animation to the plot. It's pure propaganda for the Suvorov military schools (an attempt to militarize children), and nationalism (Russians are the soul, life, while the West is all gays and witches).

8, 12, 13, 18 -- (for the simple asks game :3) <3

8. favorite month of the year and why?

May. When it's not that cold and not that hot.

12. dishes or laundry?

Dishes 100%, not a chance for laundry (is it even a question?)

13. what's something you learned recently?

I learned that English has the word 'floss'. When you use a piece of string to clean the area between your teeth. My language doesn't have a special word for it.

18. Are you musical? Play any instruments or sing? Would you ever perform for an audience?

I'm not musical... I don't play any instruments. And I sing only if my poor singing the lyrics to "Again & Again" by The Bird and The Bee in the kitchen counts as singing

What movie have you watched most recently? What did you think of it?

the pink panther (1963)! i love a good mystery, love the guy that's the pink panther, fully in love with princess dala. like i'm so in love with her it makes me a bit sick. she;s so beautiful and she has the loveliest laugh and that scene when she was drunk... ough. and she's clever and still sweet and kind. it's a really good film
