17. thoughts on the moon? 🤤

I love the moon! And I love moonlight so much. It’s full moon/waning gibbous right now, and I’ve been leaving my blinds open every night so that the moonlight can splash across my bed.

23: Strange habits?

I typed out this whole answer about how I don’t really have any, but then I realized that’s a lie: I totally do. Some of my original novels have their first drafts on Staples-brand spiral notecards. These guys: 

It started because, before I wrote on my phone, I would find myself with a lot of downtime at work, and I wanted to write, but I didn’t want my boss to think I was slacking. So I started writing on the notecards that I also used to take notes on the documents I was editing, so i was able to easily slip the novel work under the regular notes and look like I was just scribbling lots of notes to myself. Then, when I got home, I would work on copying them over to notebooks, which I would consider my second draft. I would type them up as my third. 

So now, even though I write on my phone, sometimes I still do it. Usually if I’m in fandom/working on fanfiction at the time, I’ll keep the original novels on the notecards at work and the fanfic on the phone, because it’s an easy way to separate the two mentalities. Also, once I transcribe the notecards, they all go into this box, no matter what the book is: 

They have their own naming conventions at the top corner so i can tell them apart. And then when the book is fully transcribed, I put them all aside like this: 

because I am a fucking weirdo.

thank you!!

4: how did your elementary school teachers describe you?

oof lmao. “disruptive”, “easily distracted”, “cheeky”, “has a tendency to ignite the fireworks and stand back to watch the show”, “stubborn”, “argumentative”, “disrespectful to authority”, “chronic thief”, “his promises are about as much use as a chocolate fireman”, “dOeSn’T wOrK tO hIs FuLl PoTeNtIaL”, “monster”, “terror”, “feral”, “out of control”, “bad influence”, “whenever there’s trouble he is guaranteed to be the source”... my primary school was very glad to see the back of me 😂

9: favorite smell in the summer?

warm, sun-soaked grass when I’m lazing around in it, overlaid with the slightest hint of sweet cider from whatever flavour I’m drinking that afternoon.

also, the smell after summer rain.

14: favorite non-chocolate candy?

fudge, toffee, Starburst, Fruit Pastilles, marshmallows, strawberry cables, strawberry straws... pretty much anything you’d expect kids to go nuts over, I still love. my sweet tooth only got worse as I got older 😩

16: most comfortable position to sit in?

I actually do not have one lmao. thanks to the issues I have with my leg, I have to shift positions pretty frequently and none of them are 100% comfortable even in the best possible scenario. usually I sit with my bad leg tucked up under me, which seems to be the best bet, but it’s still bad for it and even that will start hurting eventually. sitting for too long is agonising, but so is walking and standing, so fuck me I guess.

26: favorite activity to do in warm weather?

answered!

>> weird asks that say a lot

[ajoblotofjunk]

weird asks, if you're still doing that one: 21, 61, 92

I am! Thank you!

21. obsession from childhood?

I was DEFINITELY a Horse Girl. I had horse toys, I had horse posters, I went to horse camp (twice!). Straight up horse girl. I haven’t been on a horse in a really long time, though.

61. favorite line you heard from a book/movie/tv show/etc.?

I have so many. The one that comes to mind right now is from The Good Place: “The wave was just a different way for the water to be for a little while.” I cannot tell you the profound effect that whole quote had on me when I heard it.

92. lamps, overhead lights, sunlight or fairy lights?

Sunlight. I thrive on sunlight (which makes it kind of ironic I love living in the PNW but summer here is when I am my truest, best self - forests in sunlight are like my spiritual home).

[Y’all can ask more if you want]

[headbandsandflats]

Hi! Would love to know some totally random things about you while simultaneously providing the distraction you crave! How about ... 4, 15, 28, 49, 58 & 93 ?? Thanks!! 💕

4. how did your elementary school teachers describe you?

This will shock anyone who has seen this blog, but TALKATIVE.  Like, so chatty that if they moved my seat away from a friend I would just end up talking with the people by my new seat.  My 6th grade teacher, who I adored, also rightfully noted that I am much more focused when I know what to expect.  Some days she would put a schedule of our day on the chalkboard and some days she wouldn’t and I was definitely more together when our day was laid out for us.  I wouldn’t say I’m great at following a schedule, but I like to know what’s coming.

15. favorite book you read as a school assignment?

The Giver (also Bridge to Terabithia, Our Town, and To Kill a Mockingbird - because why would I give one answer when I can give several).

28. five songs to describe you?

THIS IS SO HARD (I love music so much but sometimes I feel like I don’t have as straightforward a relationship with it as other people do).  I don’t know if these describe me as much as I relate to them, but it’s the best way I know how to answer it.

Funeral - Phoebe Bridgers 

Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight - Amos Lee

Far Away - Ingrid Michaelson

Shake It Out - Florence + The Machine

If We Were Vampires - Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

49. what saying or quote do you live by?

Worry less about the person you once were, or the person you dream you will someday be.  Worry about the person you are now.  Or don’t even worry!  Just be that person.  Be the best version of that person you can be.  - Welcome to Night Vale

Everything is copy - Nora Ephron 

58. four talents you’re proud of having?

I don’t know if I even have four talents to speak of, let alone four that I’m proud of?!  Um...I’m sometimes funny (is that a talent?!), I’m fairly well-written professionally (don’t hold this dumpster fire against me), I’m pretty good at trivia, and I can pick things up with my feet.  (I don’t actually think any of these are talents, or even skills, sorry!) 

93. nicknames?

Lots of family nicknames, but my nephew calls me Kiki, the same thing my brother called me when he was first talking and couldn’t say my whole name, and as much as I hated it when it came from my brother and then stuck around on and off for over 20 years, I love hearing it in my nephew’s sweet little voice.

Thank you! <3

62. seven characters you relate to?

@awkward-mitchell

A-ah, Miss Mitchell, I’m afraid even though I’ve spent many an hour thinking on this question you so kindly posed to me and would like nothing more than to answer it the correct way, it’s not so simple for me to give you a full list of characters. You see, though I’ve read many books and have even seen some television and such, I really don’t view a story with the intention of finding someone to whom I can relate; I’ve always thought a person like me shouldn’t be thinking of himself so often when every character has their own life and story to tell, and to project onto them and make it about myself would be cruel and selfish…

Still, there were just a handful of characters in some rather famous stories to whom I could relate and even see quite a bit of myself in, for better or worse, in different ways, so I hope that even if it’s not as many as you’d hoped, it might still be interesting to you.

Ahh, and…there’s this term I believe I should say…that these two answers will have…“spoilers” for the works they come from? I hope that you will keep it in mind.

1. Elizabeth “Eliza” Schuyler — Hamilton: An American Musical

When you first asked me this question, this founding lady of the United States of America was admittedly my absolute first thought. I truly relate to her on a very personal level; not only is she, like myself, a very trusting, loyal individual who is ultimately blinded by the love she holds for those dear to her, seeing that same love reflected in those people’s eyes whether it is there or not, but some of her life struggles are, on some level, not unlike my own. Facing betrayal from the one so dear to her where she never expected it, after so many years — the amount of pity I have for her is insurmountable… Unlike me, however, she attempted to draw the line and stayed angry with that man much longer than I’m sure I could with the person who betrayed me, though she did forgive him in the end.

Also unlike myself, that forgiveness led to a somewhat happier ending with that person, and a long and prosperous life.

Ah…and I suppose that would bring me to the only other one I can easily think about for this list…

2. Nancy — Oliver Twist

Differently from Miss Schuyler, this person’s overall personality is much different from mine, but I still find myself relating to her in a very important aspect, and that would be her relationship with her lover and the attitude she holds towards him, which I think is summed up rather well in one of her songs in a musical version of the story.

You see, this…isn’t all so unlike how I feel about…Paul… Her relationship with Mr. Sikes wasn’t much different from mine with my partner… He had a terrible temper at times and let that get the best of him; he said and did things I know he could never have meant, and though he said he didn’t need me…surely he did, right…? And yet, in our own ways, Miss Nancy and I both ultimately…died for the actions of the ones we remained so loyal towards — died…by his…betrayal…

—

…A-ah…I’m a bit embarrassed. The only people I mentioned here that I related to are both women…

Well, perhaps, to fill in those other spots, I could instead mention those in our world that I relate to most? I wouldn’t give such a long explanation on them for now, as I’m sure you know them as well as I, but… I feel terrible not completing the list, so that’s what I will do.

3. Chuuya Nakahara/Arabahaki

@awkward-chuuya @awkward-arahabaki

In spite of his job, Chuuya is not a cruel man who enjoys killing needlessly. We were both in the Port Mafia for a time, and like myself, he still values the lives of others, and doesn’t appreciate unnecessary bloodshed, though he may be slightly more willing and content with killing if it comes to it being necessary than I am. He is also an extremely loyal man and can be counted on by his comrades and friends without fear, which I deeply admire him over and to which I relate.

He, Arahabaki, and I…have…also had very similar experiences in our youths, and had many of the same doubts about our own nature and worth up to a certain point in our lives…though, let’s not talk about that right now, please. I’d rather move forward now.

…Still…I feel such a strong connection to him. I wonder if he notices that…?

4. Sigma

@awkward–sigma

It’s true that I haven’t known him long and we never met during the days before my death, but since joining this group I have come to notice that our personalities are very much alike in many ways, and he also struggles with the mere thought of harming others as I do. He’s a very kind man and I think that he deserves a good life. He also dresses very warmly with a sweater underneath his suit, which I think is excellent, even if some are cruel about his fashion sense!

5. Oda Sakunosuke

@awkward-odasaku

I believe I remember meeting him in the past during my days in the Port Mafia, and I remember that he had a dream of becoming a writer and escaping the Mafia life, refusing to ever kill. If I had been given a choice like that, I would have gladly taken it… I also dislike that life of bloodshed. If only people would stop trying to eat half-grilled meat, surely the world would be a better place and no one would live such a life…

Sadly, his fate also…ended like mine…though, he also inspired and changed that young Dazai-kun, so his life wasn’t in vain. I admire him.

6. Louisa May Alcott

@awkward-alcott

Ahhh, her awkwardness, her shyness, her loyalty, her kindness…! If only I could work up the courage to approach her, I’m sure we would be fine friends. We have a lot in common!

7. Mizuki Tsujimura

@awkward-mizuki

Well, what would this list be without my new best friend? Ah, she and I are rather alike, and she’s very kind… I’ll never forget the conversations we’ve had together…

(Mod Linkle: I’m really sorry this took so long! ^-^’ With all of my projects and how long I spent trying to figure this out, I hope it was worth it in the end! This was literally the only question you could’ve asked me that stumped me thoroughly! haha Also I assumed it was to Arthur since you didn’t specify — hope that was right!)
