I wish to take you up on your hilarious inanimate object drawings, because they are delightful. Can I please have Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes as chairs? Thanks for making me laugh till I snorted coffee!

You absolutely can. I...I don’t know what happened here, I was just really intent on highlighting Steve’s Ass. Why does Bucky look like a shy schoolgirl? Idk, but I did include a bionic arm-leg.

What were your favourite books as a pre teen like 10-13 years old? I was obsessed with Star Wars and spent every dime of my money on expanded universe novels.

Oh man. Tamora Pierce, everything of hers. I was also very into Lord of the Rings, was probably reading the Silmarillion around that time?

Also got into comics right around then, too. X-Men, Runaways, Young Avengers...

So, not many surprises there!

Trying to think of things that I don’t still blog about all the time that I was into... Probably Silverwing? I looooved Silverwing. And Spooksville! I had a Spooksville reading club with my friends, we all had assigned characters from the team, we were pretty cool. Animorphs too.

Probably a lot of stuff I’m forgetting. I read a lot, so I burned through stuff quickly. Tamora Pierce and Lord of the Rings were already established Things for me since I was about eight? But comics I got into right around ten or so.

It’s interesting how many of the things I’m still really into I found around that age? Hadn’t thought about that. Huh.

Thanks for the question! What was your favourite of the extended universe stuff? I know very little about Star Wars, and next to nothing about the extended universe, tbh.

Have you seen the college humour sketch about eating detergent pods!? If you haven't you should look it up on YouTube it is hilarious and made me think of you/your blog. Hope you're having a Happy Halloween!!! Thanks for all your nice posts!

I’ve seen it and I LOVE IT LMAO

It made me laugh bc when he first looks at them, the stuff he says sounds just like what I would tag a laundry pod post?? kgrlklfjsdlgj

(Don’t watch it if you feel serious urges to eat laundry pods though lol it wouldn’t help very much in that sense)

I hope I am not too late for Shallura hour! I am a big sucker for spooning, can you write some snuggly spooning Shallura? Bonus points for little spoon Shiro?! :D Hope you are having a fun night!!!

“Princess?”

Allura took the hover-tray from Coran, letting it wait byher shoulder just inside her room.  “Thankyou, Coran,” she murmured.  “I’ll commyou if we need anything more.”

They embraced, and Allura let the door slide shut behindher, the hover-tray following her back through to the bedroom, to the manstanding awkwardly by her bed – exactly where she’d left him.  “I thought I told you to get in bed.”

“You did.”  Shiroreached out, touched her coverlet.  “I…are you sure you want—“

“I would not have invited you if I didn’t.”  She let the hover-tray drift toward him.  “Take a cup and drink.”

He took a cup.  “Whatis it?”

“Tea.  I’ve had Coranadd a mild sedative, just something to help you stay asleep.  Your body needs time to catch up with whatthe cryopod did.”

Shiro sipped then, and Allura let the hover-tray drift towait for his empty cup while he drained the rest.  He set the cup on the tray and it drifted offto dock, waiting until morning.  “And howabout how I get to sleep?” he asked.

Allura pulled back the covers on her side, slipping with ahappy sigh into bed.  After a moment moreof hesitation, Shiro got in beside her but curled up on his side, looking away.

“Thanks,” he mumbled into his pillow, barely audible.  “For letting me stay.  I… couldn’t be alone.”

She watched his back, tense under his black shirt.  Then she scooted over, her cheek restingagainst his neck, her arm wrapping around his waist.  She felt Shiro draw in a breath, thensigh.  The fingers of his flesh handslipped along her knuckles, then his fingers gripped hers, tight.  

Allura stayed awake, but even though Shiro’s breathingevened out and he dropped off, his grip on her hand didn’t loosen.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), Teeth (2007), Beauty and the Beast (1991)

There has to be a theme that links these...anyway Movie Ask Thing

Mad Max: Fury Road never seen | want to see | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite I remember I went to see this completely cold, knowing nothing but Charlize and that people were saying it was great and holy shit, what a movie. On top of the awesomeness of the characters, it's just SO gorgeous to look at Teeth: never seen | want to see | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite | I honestly don't remember Oops I fudged the choices. Wow, I forgot this movie existed and you're reminding me I talked about it with someone on our like first meeting in 2008 and it was such a funny convo to have with a relative stranger. But yeah for all the shock value of the plot, I cannot remember anything but the poster. Weird. Beauty and the Beast (1991) never seen | want to see | terrible | boring | okay | good | great | a favorite I mean, it's a damn classic. The beast transformation scene still makes me well up and "Gaston" and "Belle" are among my fave Disney songs.

[reinvent-and-believe]

Hi Zita, you are a dice person, yes? Do you give dice colour scheme recommendations? I wanna buy a new set of chessex d6 for a half orc dude I am playing in a modern fantasy game - he is a bard whose artistic skill is tattoos that give permanent buffs, also driving a magically expanded van and flirting with npcs. I am indecisive and have all of the choices in front of me on the chessex site and argh. Any suggestions as a dice connoisseur? Merci beaucoup for any advice! ♡

Hmmm! Whenever I've ended up with character/game dice it was usually from having a specific color or look to work from, so this is a new challenge.

I'm not sure why this said "go metallic" to me, but I ended up landing on Gemini steel and copper.

Something about tattooing supplies + van + flirty ends up with me going "metallic, but like... a relaxed metallic that doesn't gotta overstate itself."

LMK if you wanna see me take a stab at another direction on this, lol.
