“hi, I’m not from the US” ask set 1 through 30 :P

You don’t ask much, do you? :’D Okay, here we go

1. favourite place in your country? Pretty much every place near water. Thankfully we have loads of lakes and woods where to escape. 

2. do you prefer spending your holidays in your country or travel abroad? Abroad, mainly because my “holidays” are always during winter period and I’m a child of green so I much rather go somewhere bit warmer where I can see plants instead of endless piles of snow.

3. does your country have access to sea? Yes we have quite long coast line.

4. favourite dish specific for your country? Most traditional dishes are pretty boring. Anything with smoked fish on it. Or Karelian pies.

5. favourite song in your native language? Oh this is too hard to choose. There’s so many good ones.

6. most hated song in your native language? Again, too many to choose from. I dislike majority of Finnish rap artist so anything from them, and we also have many artists which I think make such whiny music that I can’t stand them.

7. three words from your native language that you like the most? Perkele, meri & rakas (I like the way finns say “r”)

8. do you get confused with other nationalities? if so, which ones and by whom? Probably with other nordic countries. I have been mistaken as Danish quite a lot because of my accent. 

9. which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best? Norway, because they have such cool mountains and lot of coast.

10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language? Perkele. There’s every essence of Finnish in that word.

11. favourite native writer/poet? A. W. Yrjänä

12. what do you think about English translations of your favourite native prose/poem? I don’t think there’s any translations for them so IDK

13. does your country (or family) have any specific superstitions or traditions that might seem strange to outsiders? Finns love free buckets. When new store opens they offer free buckets and people line up to get one. It’s so weird, but people love to do it.

14. do you enjoy your country’s cinema and/or TV? Not really. I do like our comedy shows because our humor is so dark and sarcastic that it’s hard to capture, so when someone does it right it’s darn funny. But I don’t think there’s not many good Finnish actors and our films are crap.

15. a saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?

16. which stereotype about your country you hate the most and which one you somewhat agree with? Well most of the stereotypes are pretty accurate so I’m not sure do I hate any.

17. are you interested in your country’s history? Yes and no. I’m interested about the old history, but mostly when you say you are interested in Finnish history everyone assume you mean the military history, which I don’t care about one bit.

18. do you speak with a dialect of your native language? I have a mixture of dialects, because my dad is northern so I use some words and emphasis that are different than is usually used in the are I live in. But I think any Finn could tell where I’m from by the way I speak.

19. do you like your country’s flag and/or emblem? what about the national anthem?  They are both okay. I would much rather have Finlandia Hymni as our national anthem instead Maamme laulu but it’s not up to me.

20. which sport is The Sport in your country? Ice-Hockey!!!

21. if you could send two things from your country into space, what would they be?  Our prime minister and one of his lackeys

22. what makes you proud about your country? what makes you ashamed? I’m proud we still have so much nature left. I’m ashamed that the government is constantly working on to change that. Also the bigotry and constantly growing separation between well earning people and the poor people.

23. which alcoholic beverage is the favoured one in your country? Majority of people like beer. I can’t drink that so I would stick with Lonkero.

24. what other nation is joked about most often in your country? Sweden. We hate Sweden.

25. would you like to come from another place, be born in another country? Hmm. I wish I could live somewhere else, but I’m very pleased I have born and raised here.

26. does your nationality get portrayed in Hollywood/American media? what do you think about the portrayal? Sometimes. Mostly they portray Finland as very mountainy country which is not true because we don’t have mountains at all except in Lapland. And usually the Finns sound & look more like Russian people than Finns.

27. favourite national celebrity? I have few. I adore our weather man Pekka Pouta, actor/singer/media persona Cristal Snow & actor Antti Holma.

28. does your country have a lot of lakes, mountains, rivers? do you have favourites? We are a land of a thousand lakes.

29. does your region/city have a beef with another place in your country? Tampere & Turku have been making fun of each other and having weird competitions for ever. I’m not even sure why.

30. do you have people of different nationalities in your family? My aunt is married to a man who’s half English half Greek but no one else other than that. And we don’t even have any contact on them anymore so I guess I shouldn’t even count him in :P

I CANNOT WAIT! It’ll be just like old times. I have a few scenes that I need your help with that I’ll be pestering you with because I cannot find them anywhere!

athosds said: sOMEWHERE WOLFSTAR IS CRYING. and by wolfstar i mean me. shove sad wolfstar at u

THERE ARE LITERALLY NO WOLFSTAR EDITS ANYWHERE I CANNOT BEAR THIS WEIGHT ALONE! btw you still haven’t read the shoebox project, you are a betrayal to us all.

brendanbradys said: Fave non romantic scenes? Or fave co-dependent scenes?

This is an awesome idea! I’m going to get to work on this one because I love any of those kinds of moments shared between them that isn’t solely driven by macking on each other (which is brilliant too btw :p).

celine3028 said: How about a gifset that portrays why those two abusive volatile grown men are in fact our babies. You have a gift of making awesome parallels between characters and scenes. Although anything you decide will be great i’m sure.

Ooh, I love this! I actually made this gifset over the weekend, although it was not so complex as I usually do, with parallels and all that. It’s kinda different than what I usually do but I had a lot of fun with it! So thanks for the prompt. :)

weepingengel said: Some scenes where ste hurts Brendan? (Physically and mentally) in the gif sets It’s more common the other way around

Oh my god this is too painful!!! You’re right - most people do not put focus on all the ways that Ste had hurt Brendan and their relationship is a two-way street of abuse. Personally, I hate the scene where Ste hurts Brendan and I usually skip them. ;A; I don’t know, when Brendan hurts Ste I get all weepy but I can handle it - I guess because everyone always flocks to Ste’s side and I know that he has people to help him. Brendan, on the other hand, has no one and no one comes to his aid and what’s worse, he acts like he deserved whatever is given to him too. 

But yeah, I’ll keep this one in mind and probably do this when I am in the strongest emotional state to handle it. ;)

celine3028 replied to your post “re: writer's block prompts: i would like any more of any of the...”

Awwww you are my favorite Spartacus fic writer and now you give me THIS! * forever grateful*

oh, thank you! This all comes from an AU I’ve talked about with ceilinglemons on twitter, like, months ago, where Brendan somehow strikes a deal to get out and be a kind of confidential informant or something (it’s all still very, very vague) and ends up planted in a B&B on the western coast of Ireland and he kind of demands they get Ste to help him run it (because of REASONS) and then it spiraled out from there (ignoring most of current show canon re: Ste basically from the point Brendan leaves bc let’s not touch that mess with a fifty foot pole) and all I REALLY clearly remember was me going, “I just need a scene where Brendan’s reading Leah & Lucas a bedtime story.”

I’ll have to dig out the tweets. It was all highly implausible and fluff of the highest order but still brings a smile to my face just thinking about it. 

There’s also a Journey ‘verse set AU for them where the Bradys are dragons because of course they would be.
