1. What was the last picture you took with your phone/camera that you liked? Can you post it?
See further down for the picture I took for an answer for this meme. It’s not a great picture but since I almost never use the camera on my phone, Iam counting it.
2. What’s the last meme you enjoyed, and a meme you can’t stand?
So the current one with the faithless dude photo I actually enjoy, because the structure is very simple and versatile and this version of it sums up everything. Meme I can’t stand? Idk there’s old memes I wasn’t around to get or just don’t find as funny or memorable. loss.jpg
3. Give me a song and what it makes you think of, or what you like about it
The first twenty seconds of Slipknot’s Wait and Bleed are my favorite, there’s something beautiful about it, and always makes me visualize an ascending angel or valkyrie in a battlefield. With the lyrics it’s a song about regrets having horrible dark thoughts and trauma, and yet even though there’s nothing to support it, I feel something hopeful behind it, that the singer and/or listener is going to defeat this pain and hate and ugliness.
(your surprising fact about me for the day – I love heavy metal. Only a select outpouring from the genre, but for a time I definitely listened to way more rock than pop or electronic.)
4. The last time you were pleasantly surprised
I just opened two birthday gifts – my sister got me the DC Bombshells art book and there was one image/character design in it that I had never seen before anywhere. The other gift was new sleep pants with a siamese cat pattern on it- adorable.
5. A physical book you have and love as an item
I love books.Unless the cover-art is really bad, I love them. One in particular? I love my replacement Silmarillion because it’s a much stronger graphic design and it has the Swanship on the cover and is black, bronze, and blue and that’s a color palette I like.
6. Your phone’s bg and/or lockscreen?
lockscreen is alqualondë to match my first phone case cover (cheap light blue):
My phone background is this art of Lúthien in Hirilorn:
7. I know I always ask this one, but is there a gif or reaction image you like but that you haven’t been able to use yet? If not, just give me your current favorite gif.

8. One thing you would change in your favorite media thing (book, movie, show, video game, etc)
But I’m gonna stick to only a few (if I was talking DC – ohboy we start with victim-blaming and rampant classism with Jason and Stephanie and we scream at various editors and authors both hated and beloved by the fandom)
RuroKen – Aoshi and Misao’s relationship in the movies lacked all the great lines/did not have the moments and relationship as I wanted/they got done a little dirty. Original manga didn’t let Kaoru fight and win.
Tolkien – yeah I have minor issues but if I could ask for one small thing that I think would have made a surprising amount of difference, the textual ghost(s) that I strongly wished had been named would be at least one of Olwë’s sons. Then they would be real characters to this fandom, just like the Noldor that are barely more than names but have all this fan-work and shipping content. With a name for the shippers to latch onto, I would put up with all the m/m rival tragic pairings shipping them with the Fëanorians and such, because at least then there would be a name and a face to the victims that died at the sack of Alqualondë.
9. A non-American movie you like
So I’m thinking as my birthday celebration to myself to re-watch the live-action Rurouni Kenshin movie(s)
10. You’re transported to the setting of the last fic you read. How screwed are you?
Oh fuck. The very last chapter update I read was set in early years Gotham. So screwed.
11. stealing this from VV but it’s a great question: what’s the nearest art thing to you rn?
I have a very cluttered desk. Art-object-wise, there’s a lot of jewelry and a wooden box with a a cute oriental design, and on the desk shelf above there’s a mini-fig Bombshells Catwoman next to a tiny Tifa Lockhart, and a small Belle and Beast fanart piece that my sister bought at a Con for me:
(bonus question: what’s a fandom I have that you hate/blacklist/don’t get?)
I admit I scroll pass the Classic Russian Literature because I never read any of them and have no desire as of now to ever do so. I don’t hate it, in fact i love that you are very enthusiastic about those books, it’s just a gallon size jug of ‘not my cuppa tea’
