The hangman, strength :)

the hanged man: favorite movie soundtrack?

What a tough question! Umm My Neighbor Totoro and Lilo and Stitch have really comforting soundtracks to me so I’ll go with those!!

strength: what is your dream occupation? 

I’m still trying to figure this one out! For a while it was working as a lab technician, but I’ve recently been finding fulfillment from when I teach others, so honestly maybe being a science teacher would be cool? This is something I realized, like, a week ago.. so I’m still trying to figure out what I wanna do!

Summary: Arthur only starts writing as a way to cope with his strangely vivid dreams. Nearly every night, he dreams he’s King Arthur, only in a Camelot that has banned magic. When Morgana gets wind of his work, she pushes him to publish it, launching him headfirst into the world of publishing where he’s introduced to a whole cast of people– people that seem strangely familiar. That’s how he meets Merlin, an illustrator who can portray his characters in an uncanny likeliness.But not everything that comes with it is good, and as a new familiar figure emerges, Arthur finds himself struggling to hold his life together.

Comment: I ADORE this story. I loved the publishing element of the story, al ofl the characters, and their embracing of the Camelot theme! The development of the characters was great, I especially liked Morgana, and the plot just got better and better (and it was very interesting to begin with!). I also liked that while the story incorporated Canon plots, elements were changed which made it different from other stories.

OH HEY YEAH 5 THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY??

(tagged by siths-pretentious btw)

(also in no particular order)

(apologies for over-enthusiasm)

1) okay tbh I get crazy happy when people message me at all on this website, but the thing that really tops everything is people referring to me by my name in their tags. like WOW you just put the effort in to find out my name also you saw it on my blog and you remembered like it’s the best feeling, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S SOMEONE I ADMIRE HEAPS *side-eyes phil and scarlett*

2) space. Just space. Any aspect. I don’t care. Every single subject I take at school I have selected specifically because I think it will help get me into a course on astronomy or astrophysics or something. Even if I hate the class, ‘Oh,  I should so do specialist maths even though I’d rather stick a fork in my eye than do another maths subject.’ But just space. I mean, it’s so infinite and beautiful and there’s just so much about it. Like galaxies, planets, stars, different types of stars and their life cycles AND HABITABLE PLANETS. OH SWEET GOD YES THERE ARE SO MANY VARIABLES IT’S AMAZING

3) Okay when I was volunteering at Comic-con this year, we had half a billion Star Wars celebrations posters left, so we were giving them to every convention-goer we could find at the end of the day. When we had run out of posters, I saw a little girl, probably five or six, and her dad. Her dad was wearing one of those stormtrooper onesies, and the little girl was running around with a cute little dress on and a lightsaber. So I was like ‘OH GOSH THEY NEED A POSTER’ But we didn’t have any posters left. Now I had a few in my bag, one was for my friend who couldn’t afford to go, the other was for my sister, and another was mine because, as you all know, I am trash. So anyway I grabbed my sister’s poster (pfft she didn’t need it, I’d gotten her a signature from Emma Caulfield, she was set) and ran up to the girl and was like ‘HEY you wanna free Star Wars poster?” and then she beamed and screamed “YES” and oh man she was just so happy and her dad thanked me and they were grinning and I feel super happy just thinking about it. (Also I told my sister that I gave her poster away, but when she heard the story she ‘AWWed’ and said she was glad I gave it to the girl, so everyone was happy in this situation)

4) Cats are the most beautiful creatures to walk the earth, and every memory of my cat before he died is really lovely and happy, even including the time he did the knead-y thing on my aching, appendix-free, ‘literally-just-got-home-from-hospital’ stomach

5) When my sister acts like a lunatic. She acts normal most of the time, and does the shake-head thing when I say something nerdy, but when she acts weird she’s acting insane

ah yes now tags. I will actually tag people this time, even though most of you HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAGGED DARN YOU

girly-bookworm, since I always see your icon silently rise up, like something i reblogged or posted or whatever, and then sink back into the depths with equal silence

nspx, I know it’s a sideblog but for the life of me your actual blog has completely slipped through my brain and also those tags on my drawing, yo

samuraibowtie you you replied to that ask meme and were really sweet dude

youraveragebookworm you are just a darling and I have been neglecting you and I’m sorry for that

*screams* I cannot think of anyone else presently just do it. All of you. Do it.

Vicky (your-average-bookworm), Vivien (what-a-liuser), and Juyeon (juyumyum) all asked me 11 questions like 2 weeks ago, so I chose my favorites because i should be sleeping but i'm doing this instead

your-average-bookworm:1. What's your favorite line from your favorite song? all i can think of are camp songs, so  "it's such a perfect night/it doesn't seem quite right/that this should be my last with you"  from "Linger", a campfire song

2. Absolute favorite character from anything and why? Ben Wyatt or Leslie Knope no wait Luna Lovegood no wait i can't choose there's too many

 I like Ben because he reminds me of myself, introverted and awkward and slightly confused with the world, but he manages to get by somehow. Leslie's passion and optimism shows how if you love something so so much, and you work hard, then what you do will always be worth it. Luna is unafraid and completely honest, and most people can't even be direct with each other. and there's more but you get it, I like fictional characters

6. What food represents you and why? seaweed and rice. simple, not too boring, not too flashy. nice if you like that sort of thing. also very asian.

9. Favorite OTP and why? Ben x Leslie from Parks and Rec because this

10. How do you dance? i mentioned this: badly but with enthusiasm, which is what counts

Vivien (what-a-liuser):

1. first impression? oh look she looks vaguely familiar is her name heidi or something? 

4. If you could change your name to anything you wanted, what would your new name be? And why that specific name? i never liked my vietnamese name "thanh nguyen" because it's long and the meaning isn't really me, so i'd make it something simpler. 

6. Name one person that you would date if you were guaranteed that they would say yes when they asked you out. (sorry, but let’s exclude famous people/fictional characters from this one. Just people you know in real life, teehee): i wouldn't. being a counselor for a bunch of 12 year olds who would not shut up about the cabin of boys puts a nice perspective on dating- i.e. it's perfectly fine, but there's no need to make such a fuss about it. 

9. Weirdest art you've seen in person? giant mao zedong portrait at the met? or really any piece of contemporary art at the met, contemporary art is just weird to me.

Juyeon (juyumyum)

2. what, in your opinion, is the best place to do a gentleman flash mob in? (be creative with this one!) a wedding maybe? or possibly a parade

6. how would the best summer be spent? not studying for the sat (sorry), for me so far it's camp. basically something that forces you out of your comfort zone and helps you grow.

7. say you were stranded in a foreign country, and nobody spoke your language(s). what do you think would be your hardest menial task in the country? bathroom. miming bathroom would be difficult.

10. switch to any other random tab and type the first sentence you see (if this is the only tab you have open and do this for a book): "and then all of a sudden, I thought of something. Something enormous. Something wonderful." (that was three but idc because i'm done sorry)
