i read in my inklings biography that tolkien based treebeard’s voice on lewis’s, which is probably where the commenter got that idea.

*sends love* *and tea*

You can come to my island. It will be much better with you there, too. And we can drink all the tea and you can tell me about all the romance novels and holy crap I think I have a lead on your nickname the process has begun stay tuned.

i feel like i’m always making your posts about me but damn i understand you at a raw visceral level /sends you hugs and vaguely-worded promises that it will all get better very soon

Nah, lady, you all right. It's actually just really nice to know someone understands. Especially with this one. I always feel so horrible and ungrateful for feeling this way about my family, but I just feel so...trapped and tied down with them. Like I reach for the stars and am almost there, only to feel them greedily tugging at my ankles to keep me rooted to the ground. And they only get hungrier as my time runs out before I fall back to earth. I know they're just glad to have me near, but how can they not see that there's a very important part of me I have to put away when I'm there?

me too, love. /encouraging hug of solidarity

disney films! (that counts as a fandom, right? also i love seeing your answers to these cause they're always so sincere and well-thought-out :3)

Ha. ha ha ha. Ha. Excuse me while I laugh myself silly at your "well-thought-out" comment. Because I think what you meant was over-thought and totally pretentious and riddled with snobbery and indecision! 

Also, I only did animated movies. Bringing in live-action would fry my brain! :) Hope you don't mind! 

Favorite Female: This is such a tough one to answer! I think I'd have to go with Rapunzel, from Tangled. Gosh, I just love her to pieces! She's so sincere and adorable and she makes me feel inspired to be happy. 

Favorite Male: Another hard question to answer. Disney just has a really great talent for putting out well-rounded characters. I think I honestly have to go with Quasimodo from Hunchback of Notre Dame. Oh my goodness, how precious is he? (I guess what I'm really getting at is that I'm drawn to characters that have been locked in towers for years by oppressive guardian figures and yet still are inspiring and happy and good.)

Three Other Favorite Characters: Basil of Baker Street, Mulan, Bell (duh). 

3 OTPs: Belle/Beast, Tiana/Naveen, Flynn/Rapunzel. 

Notp: Is this strictly limited to canon? If so, then the one relationship potential that creeps me out is Esmeralda/Frollo from Hunchback of Notre Dame. Just ew. 

Funniest character: How can I possibly pick one? I'm gonna go with Timon and Pumba. But also everyone from The Emperor's New Groove. 

Prettiest Character: Aurora. Hands down, I mean, those gleaming gold locks and that voice. Runner-up is Pocahontas. Apparently, I also have a thing for really prettily animated long hair that twirls and swirls in the breeze. 

Most Annoying Character: I don't know? Honestly, I find Tinkerbell really annoying, mostly because it's her face plastered over all the merch for adult women and I never liked her. I thought she was a brat and rude, especially when she tried to kill Wendy. Explain to me why I want her face on my t-shirt again? Also, the recent movement to try and make her this sweet little fairy is bogus, too. 

Most Badass Character: Um...all of them? I can't pick just one! I'm really tempted to go with Mulan, because seriously. (On a side note, can I say Darkwing Duck? Remember him?? He's been on my mind a lot lately, for whatever reason...)

Character I'd Like As My Bff: Belle! We'd sip tea and talk books and give each other suggestions (plus she has that amazing library, so I'd never have to worry about being bored!), and that castle would be so much fun to explore!

Female Character I'd Marry: Well this is a little awkward...haha. 

Male Character I'd Marry: Roger Radcliffe, because he's a babe.

Character I hate/dislike/least like: Gaston. I saw a post once that talked about Gaston being one of the scariest villains in recent Disney history because he doesn't depend on magic but on his own vanity and prejudices and so it's possible for a real person to be exactly like Gaston, and I've never been able to shake that from my memory. Now I see it every time I watch Beauty and the Beast.

Boo, flies, don't bother us

This makes me think of a Jane Austen sort of thing and I’m actually kind of envious lol

I mean, I definitely identify with Elinor, and she's basically besties with Colonel Brandon. So whatever that means.

this makes me really happy and i don’t even know why? YOUR LIFE IS SO CUTE

I'm not really sure what's going on. I'm learning to just kind of go with it, though. I think maybe it's just inherent in the life of the observer: The most interesting things come your way when you just sit back and let things come to you.

That and I somehow trick myself into believing that I should be the standard of normal behaviour, so anything out of line with what I would do or predict becomes strange and interesting. It would seem there's an upside to being weird.

[the19thhistory]

Yes. Inconvenient. That is possibly the most obnoxious thing about it. If I could even function through it, it might be more bearable. /rage

I'm going to come hide out with you for a bit, 'kay? 'kay.

Ok… well, let me know if you need comfort when you come down, okay? I’ll send you virtual plates of cookies and mugs of tea.
