I remember you mentioning the last unicorn, and I was kinda intrigued and started reading it earlier this year. I still need to finish it but I really enjoyed it so far. do you have any other books you’d recommend? or any fics maybe? hope you feel better soon 🫶🫶
Oh I love that book so dearly, it's so poetic and beautiful but also deeply weird. Also I love how philosophical it can get as well <3
Hmm, I haven't read a lot of books recently, but Howls Moving Castle is such a funny and weird book, it's better than the movie in my opinion and I love Sophie so dearly. (I do still like the movie though, but they didn't let Sophie throw week killer at people and that's a shame) Other than that, if you haven't read the Hunger Games, do. They're so good for so many reasons. Also, the graphic novel M is for Monster is one of my favorites as well, it's about coming back wrong.
For fics I can recommend a few lu ones:
Weaponised Stew and Labour Disputes (14340 words) by bill_nye_the_russian_spy
This one is funny as shit and I was cackling the entire way through. It was great. Pathetic Warriors my beloved
Like a Weed (Keep Coming Back) (8162 words) by Starlight
Chapters: 2/2
A modern au with a twist. Such good Legend characterization I read this fic a lot.
hold my hand and watch (4773 words) by LostAndDowned
Chapters: 1/1
And now, one of my favorite fics of all time. A enemies to roommates collage au starring Legend and Warriors. (can you tell they're my favorites) The characterization is so good and the main theme of snakes is so incredible I lose my mind every time I think about it.
Thanks for the ask, and if you want more recommendations feel free to ask <3
ohh very excited about the nosy questions ask game :D
i pick 2, 10, 18, 22, and 32
<33
Awesome!!!
2. I don't have a comfort show as such but I like watching cartoons I watched as a kid. Ed, Edd, and Eddy, The Powerpuff Girls. Nice hits of nostalgia.
10. I had a dysfunctional childhood that was chaotic and not always safe. I was super critical of myself at a young age and would cry over anything. Fifth year I thought I messed up an assignment and I had a panic attack. My teacher, having only known me for a few days (beginning of the school year) took me aside and reassured me that I wasn't wrong I just approached the answers a different way. Having someone that wouldn't fly of the handle was a revelation to me.
18. Lavender for sure. I also really like Chrysanthemum.
22. Easy. I would bring back the dodo. They're so silly looking I just love them.
32. Lord there's so many. Mid nineteenth century Paris would be cool. Witness the craziness with Berlioz, Liszt, Chopin, George Sand, Delacroix et. all. Sheer insanity. To be a fly in that salon would be crazy. Close second would be to go back in time to visit Eleanore of Aquitaine and that crazy brood. She's so badass and so unhinged. Don't know what I'd do there except try to not get killed/ imprisoned.
I don't quite get this question, honestly, so I'll understand it as I get it ^^;
The dragon wearing the apparel combination I like the most is, well, Usva:
Getting her to as cloaked and ominous and stormy as she is through this apparel combination is probably one of my highest apparel combination achievements.
9. Favorite lore dragon you own?
All my dragons are meant to have lore c'x but of those few I got it written down....
Obvious answer, likely, but I'm really, really attached to her story (especially the parts I have yet to toss here)
15. Do you have a least favorite breed? Which one?
I do have several least favorites, yeah, and can say that Wildclaws are one of them (ironic, considering that lore-wise, they're one of the most prosperous breeds in the Scarred Wasteland). Their designs sadly don't appeal to me, and I tend to find dragons with this dinosaur-like body plan boring.
It's so bad that I have a grand total of 2 Wildclaws in my lair, and I got them both this year:
Summer
And Brightpaste
16. How does your clan view exalting?
Considering the way my lair lore works, exalting would be less like leaving the darkness of the brambles, and more like joining the plane of existence the Deities are in. (Because I don't think them as being always physical in form as much as being the raw magic in their terrtories, fountains of magic taken by the children born within.)
So, those exalted would leave their bodies as nourishment for the brambles, and their minds and magics would live along with the Deity they choose to serve, along with other dragons that had made that same decision.
I love giving out grades so scoring every teams schedule release below
Only scoring teams who put out an actual video and not counting shorts! If it’s not on youtube I’m not counting it!
Carolina - 0/10 no video. Assume everyone in the org is still busy drinking.
Columbus - 7.5/10 HAH. Grew on me as it went on. Very well executed and the jokes got better as the video went on which i appreciate. Fun one!
New Jersey - 6/10 feels unfair to watch it after cbj bc cbj was just so much better. Still well done. Not really my humor. Top comment is abt how a previous video was better.
NYI - 8/10. Gave myself a headache laughing. Someone wrote them an office intern au and said please act this out youre both retired and have nothing better to do. Doesn’t even include their schedule. Still ranking them high bc holy shit.
NYR - 1/10 no video. The series of shorts they made couldve been a video and probably shouldve as they definitely did not account for bleed so some things just ended up off screen on my phone ¯\_( :/ )_/¯
Philadelphia - 1/10 no video. Some of their shorts were fucking insane tho. Good admin team over there.
Pittsburgh - 5/10 its cute and local but ultimately boring and sometimes it was hard to read the dates. Also not very funny past the one vegas joke. It’s spelt pittsburg btw
Washington - 5.5/10 gonna be awkward if ovi doesnt retire after this year. Funny to do the schedule release this way but they still somehow managed to make it feel low effort and I honestly couldnt watch the whole thing. Points for concept being there and i assume including all 32 teams.
Boston - 6.2/10 LMFAO insane they got their players in on this (im not jealous). Very fun concept and star studded cast (im NOT jealous). I wish it was a little funnier and points off for no schedule included, but points back for dog (IT SHOULDVE BEEN STELLA!!!!!!!)
Buffalo - 0/10 no schedule release on youtube. Its already tomorrow est as im writing this. If its on twitter dont tell me bc i’ll give them negative points for that. Disappointing bc sabesmin is usually p funny.
Detroit - 0/10 no video. When i tried to look up their channel i had to scroll a significant amount before it even popped up. Whats wrong with them fr
Florida - 3/10 un fucking hinged. Hilarious concept but i genuinely cannot give points for this because who is watching that. Congrats to whichever cats fan needed some tunes to study to i guess.
Montreal - 6/10 cute and fun. Shoutout to them for noticing there was an issue i wouldve been like dope we’re playing the avs 18 times bye.
Ottawa - 9/10 insane concept. Relevant to their last season. Used ACTUAL MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA. If that one guy had gone all in on RECEIPTS! PROOF! TIMELINES! It wouldve been a 10. They did alright at showing their schedule but who could genuinely care about that in the face of this video. None of them can act its awesome. I have so many questions.
Tampa - 6.5/10 how did he not laugh during this. How many takes did this take. This shouldve rhymed and jt kind of makes me angry it didnt. Increasing the avs score for rhyming while this didnt.
Toronto - 0/10 no video. Too busy mckennamaxxing. Who can blame them.
Chicago - 1/10 no video. Short couldve been a video. Rat hole.
Colorado - 7.2/10 cute! I like the storybook concept and i liked both their goalies from last year. Ultimately a little boring but if im a family with kids im happy with this. Extra points for taking shots at divisional rivals and rhyming the whole time. Clear schedule dates.
Dallas - 4.9/10 boring and lowkey low effort but tried to appeal to their local fanbase which I’m ultimately not part of so if youre a dallas fan and thought this was the best video ever lmk. The nashville and vegas stadium series jokes were funny. Very clear schedule dates as well.
Minnesota - 6.8/10 one of my friends went “minny ranking: folgers” and i dont think i ever recovered from that. Kind of funny. So high quality it kind of pisses me off. Where are the interns youre overworking. Put some heart in.
Nashville - 8.9/10 INSANE. INSANE INSANE INSANE. Wouldve given them a 9 but the concept is RIGHT under ottawa and just a little bit i think they got a lil TOO silly with it at times. Still fucking hilarious tho i love it. Starting with the snl bit was promising love it
St. Louis - 0/10 no video. Possibly laziest short ever. At least thats kinda funny but still i should give them negative points smh.
Utah - 0/10 no video. Explode.
Winnipeg - 5.8/10 i remember that blues game too but feels like its been a while. I like the effort put into the wordplay but wish they had put the dates up in the bg while they brought up the teams. Shoutout to i think maybe being the only team to include all teams but still feels like the whole thing was kinda whatever.
Anaheim - 1/10 they did a short which was very cool but as mentioned its not a video. Doubly disappointing bc its actually long enough to be a video they just wanted that portrait mode look bc they hate me. I shouldve given negative points for that tbh. They did a video last year so doubly disappointing.
Calgary - 5.5/10 sure why not. Fly high saddledome. You were a real one.
Edmonton - 8.2/10 i hate all of you very good lowkey humor and taking as many shots at as many teams as possible I RESPECT THE SPREADSHOT STRATEGY. Probably ultimately the best at actually announcing the schedule as well. Makes me angry to rank them this high.
LAK - 4/10 made me increase dallas’s score bc they put more respect and heart in theirs. Its giving samoa joe you’ve got an 8 and 1/3rds percent chance of winning at sacrifice
San Jose - 7/10 well executed relevant to the current state of the team and even though they were more serious with it had some good jokes. Also #myteam. Couldnt go higher than this bc no schedule :/
Seattle - 4.5/10 low effort but local and fun they included their euro games.
Vancouver - 8/10 ending on a high note! Well made, cool shots, some good jabs included, and a fun inclusion from players and staff!
Vegas - 2/10 can we be serious. You didnt even have your schedule included 😭

Kisumi doesn't own a single pair of matching socks 🚫
This is incredibly untrue. If he could he would coordinate all of his undergarments (socks being included) so they all fit the vibe.
Kisumi has an incredible long-term memory but an awful short-term memory. ✅
I would say this is true, he gets lost in the details but focuses on the big picture. He tends to move on quickly from things but hangs on to things far too long.
Kisumi has been to prison. 🚫✅
Funny enough in some verses he has been! Not a happy camper. But currently no he hasn’t but it is a possible route!!
If someone they knew commited a crime, Kisumi would cover for them. ✅
Along with the aspects of prison. Yes Kisumi would gladly fall on the blade for those he cares for. Like Hayato? No questions asked.
Kisumi likes to eat straight coffee beans. ✅
He would on an espresso martini 💯
Kisumi is a great artist. 🚫
I would love him to be a brilliant artist, truly. But it’s just not him. He doesn’t have the focus to sit and work that way. He’s too antsy and although loves color I could see him very frustrated and it would bring out the worst in his perfectionism. Interior design. Styling. That’s the closest he’s going to get.
Kisumi is an ugly crier. ✅
This is very factual. I believe I actually wrote hc about this very thing before. He’s an ugly crier but I adore him for it. Kisumi gets all blotchy and can’t stop once he’s started. Ugh. A vicious cycle because he just cries more out of frustration.
Kisumi believes in ghosts and insists on trying to summon one at every sleepover. ✅
Without a doubt. He was always stirring up trouble and getting laughs if he could creep others out. Kisumi is a big believer in ghosts and other mysteries
I wanna know what about Elucien won you over to the ship? Was it insta love or a slow burn? And what is it about them that keeps you coming back for more every time?
HI!!
when i first read the books in what, 2019? i actually came out the other end really preferring elriel over elucien
then i forgot about the whole series for a while and when i came back to it in 2021-ish i ventured into the fandom for the first time ; long story short the elucien people seemed really cool and i wanted to be their friend LMAO
i guess my whole elucien career is held up by this really great fic i found back then 'call it what you want to' by @separatist-apologist , you might have heard of her
so i don't know if i would call it slow burn, maybe second chance romance?
years down the line (jesus christ) i come back because:
a) elucien people are great and as the nationaly acclaimed star seahawk she-ra had said once: it's fun to be friends with friends
b) the visuals and the vibes of elucien are literally unmached and literally never get boring to me
i) i will never get through all the ideas i have for them before i get old and probably have arthritis
c) The Potential
d) their dynamic is a nice change of pace for sjm, they have that special sauce
e) separately they're also some of my favourite characters in the series (wins all around for laxibbeb)
