List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers (ू•‧̫•ू⑅)♡

Aw thank you so much for this! This is fun!

I know it sounds basic lol, but my family and friends!

Good food! I cannot stop myself from doing a little happy dance (a tiny wiggle really lol) when I’m eating really good food. I don’t know if my sisters and roommate got it from me or I got it from them, but we all do it lol. And my sister’s best friend told her her toddler did it the other day, and we were like, welp, guess we’re children 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️

This might be really niche, but I just had a conversation about this the other day, and it really does make me happy: when people in your life have become such a part of your life that they end up making references you make to real-life things they weren’t even there for. Like not like someone who doesn’t know you well just trying to get in on the joke, but someone who does know you well unintentionally adopts it as part of their everyday language because it’s part of yours 😂🥹

Dogs! Dogs make me so happy. And I still haven’t ever had one. It’s my life goal at this point, but I’m still nowhere close, because I keep living with people who are allergic 😔

I know it sounds silly, but Tumblr! It’s the only social media I actually fully enjoy, probably because it’s barely even really social media in the typical sense. And getting to come on here and be an active part of fandoms is so much fun! There’s a big overlap of the TV shows, books, and movies I love with the people I see and hang out with in my everyday life, but there’s also a lot of media I consume that they don’t, so it’s so nice to be able to come on here and interact with people about it! (e.g., the post I just made before this about tonight’s 911! Lol)

Sorry these were so long! A bonus thing you get to find out about me from this if you didn’t know already is that brevity is NOT my forte lol

End of the Year Fic-Reader ask Meme:

from princip1914

1) a fic that made you laugh out loud

But Not Too Not Familiar (What We Do In the Shadows MBMBAM fusion??) It’s great and honestly too in character I was freaking out off mic when I had a small part in a podfic of it.

2) a line from a fic that stayed with you

“How am I supposed to know how I’m feeling if I don’t have EVIDENCE!” from a Presenting the Evidence (Fantasy High)

3) a favorite tag from one of the fics you’ve read this year

Maybe #This Shit is Cray Cray from this AO3 Users/Hugo Lawyers fic???

4) a fic with a premise you’d never seen before

Lost History: Captain America Edition an MCU podfic styled like an interview podcast. It’s very cool and though I’ve read media fics where there’s clips of things I’ve never had an entire fic be like an “episode” of something and hearing it in audio with actual people’s voices really added to the experience.

5) a simile or metaphor you particularly enjoyed

closer than a memory and clearer than a nightmare from the only right I’ve wronged (Haven)

6) a fic with a favorite trope

I’ve been in smaller fandoms lately so I haven’t really had the luxury of being able to pick specific tropes lol but The Kind of Tired Sleep Can’t Cure (Haven) is about people having sex while also thinking about someone they’re not having sex with and it’s a miracle that very niche trope is in this small fandom

7) a stylistic choice that worked really well in a fic you read this year

I really liked in tell me it won’t always be this hard (Fantasy High) the author leaned into the implied immigrant background of Riz as a Goblin. It’s definitely something I feel like could be done poorly so so easily but they write it in a warm personal way.

8) “sir that’s my emotional support fic”

don’t stop to think this through (Haven) is just so cute and warm 🥺

9) a line of dialogue, description, or story element that just felt so in character

This exchange between Evi and Audrey in with evidence I believe

“You’re staying in Haven?” “I love a good mystery. And this place is full of them.” “It’s like living in a horror movie.” Evi leaned forward, her eyes sparkling. “So I’ve noticed. Any tips on survival?” Audrey thought for a minute. “Run like hell.” Evi locked eyes with her. “I don’t run.”

10) A WIP you’re excited about following into 2021

I don’t usually read WIPs but faults and cracks (Haven) got me and I’m so mad because it’s so good and now I have to live with regularly remembering that this great fic is out there and not being able to finish it 😔
