The haunting ancient Celtic carnyx being played for an audience. This is the sound Roman soldiers would have heard their Celtic enemies make.

MC and Yuri bookshop date moments?

MC: Hmmm, I don’t know what I should get.

Yuri: Oh, what exactly are you searching for, dear?

MC: That’s the problem, I don’t know, all of these sound too smart for me. I’m trying to get used to like wordy books, but, it’s just that I don’t know where to start.

Yuri: Oh, my precious, you are smart, you’re underestimating yourself, believe me. I’m sure that as long as you find something you enjoy, you’ll be fine.

MC: Do you really think that? I mean you out of anyone should know that I’m a slow reader and that I have a hard time trying to get through certain big words.

Yuri: But you are making an effort to improve and frankly that’s not something a lot of people do when it comes to this hobby. I promise you you’re doing fine my love.

MC: Hmmm, *sigh*, thank you Yuri, but could you do me a favor?

Yuri: Of course.

MC: I think I’m just overwhelmed with options. So could you recommend me something?

*Yuri takes a deep breath*

Yuri: I have been hoping you’d say that since we agreed to come here. I have a hundred different books that I think you might like and-

*Yuri sees that MC is getting overwhelmed and probably doesn’t feel comfortable with having to choose from many options*

Yuri: But i highly recommend out of all of those one of the Discworld books, how about we go find one?

MC: Sounds like a good idea.

*They grab each other’s hands and walk into the fantasy section*

Nothing kills my excitement for a new game like an $80 base game price tag

I do enjoy the "post-surgical recovery interview as in-universe character creation" device where it's implied that whatever happened messed you up so badly the doctors genuinely couldn't tell what age or gender you were before the Incident, so they just sort of guessed.

I have been programming for 12 years and it still makes me unreasonably happy to find a use for enums.

Like, ah, yes, I have found a situation where this parameter could benefit from being a collection of words that make sense to any humans who need my code, but also elegantly allows me to iterate through the data set with simple integers. Gorgeous. So simple. So dumb. I love you enums.

5. How do you like to take care of yourself?

I like taking walks and long showers :) Nothing like wandering the streets at night with my lil doggy for protection (dw I live inside a guarded compound, I'll be safe)

7. Who do you feel most like yourself around?

All my close friends :) (kiana if you see this I mean you <3)

9. Best childhood moment?

I can't decide :) Eating lunch with my friends, hanging out at each others' houses, going to the mall together after school. It's the little things that count the most <3

(though my proudest moment would be that time I beat the living shit out of my best friend's boyfriend because he threw a hissy fit about me doing better than him in school)

Thanku for the ask nav :)

Ratatouille would have been a better and potentially much more interesting story if Remy had partnered with Collette instead of Linguini. Two underdogs with talent and passion forced to maintain a dangerous ruse. Fiercely independent Collette giving up temporary control of her body to a creature who, despite the insanity of a rat wanting to cook professionally, she can relate to on a personal level and who she does want to teach. The inner conflict of wondering if Remy’s growing talents are eclipsing her own, if the praise their food is earning belongs more to him than to her. Her guilt over feeling resentment and jealousy towards this little guy who wouldn’t have a hope of realizing his talents if not for her trust and protection. Both of them unraveling the mystery of that sweet but bumbling kitchen boy with the obvious crush on Collette being Gusteau’s secret son, and working together to thwart the new evil owner’s plans to stop Linguini from claiming his birthright. The message of the movie not being this weird, almost smug “some people are born with talent, some people aren’t, and that’s how being a ~great artist~ works”, but something more like, “if you have a dream, you deserve to pursue it, and be supported and encouraged in your pursuit of it, even if other people tell you that, because of some intrinsic aspect of yourself or the circumstances you were born in (like being a human woman in the restaurant industry, or being a literal rat), you have no place pursuing this dream. Also, raw talent can only get you so far, and skill and passion existing in the right balance is key.” I’ve been thinking about this for seventeen years. I’m breaking my silence
