#def don't feel any pressure to match

[iammattswife]

Matt Sturniolo Fluff Alphabet Headcanons!!

warnings: mention of sex, idk i think that's it?

A = Admiration (what do they absolutely adore about you?)

Everything. Literally everything. He would be so love sick that everything you do would be adorable to him. He likes the simplicity of being with you, sleeping in the same bed together, waking up together, getting ready together in the morning, being able to have long in depth conversations without any judgment or awkwardness.

B = Body (what is their favorite part of your body?)

Huge physical intimacy guy, caressing your hand, tighs, cheeks, arm, etc. Anything that allows him to give both of you a sense of comfort. Also your boobs. Definitely napping on them 24/7.

C = Cuddling (how do they like to cuddle?)

I think he's a huge switch, not just sexually but also when it comes to simple things like cuddling. He likes to hold you, he likes to know that he can provide you that sense of comfort and safety that no one else can. But he also likes to be held, he loves when you run your hands through his hair (he will also play with yours because it "relaxes him") or when you gently caress his back, he likes to lay his head on your boobs or on your stomach. (especially if you were pregnant as it would make him feel closer to the baby)

D = Dates (what does their ideal date with you look like?)

Honestly, probably staying in a lot. Movie nights, baking dates, legos, maybe a spurr of the moment karaoke night where you both laugh at each others terrible vocals, driving around or walking around a park or on the beach (specifically at night) anything that's a normal activity but with you, he'll love.

E = Emotions (how do they express emotion around you?)

Very very well. Huge communication guy, what's to know how you're feeling about everything. Won't pressure you into talking tho but will definitely make sure you know you can talk to him whenever you want/need to and it will remain between you and him. He also displays his emotions through his body language a lot, so whenver you're in public/social setting and he starts to get anxious or just wants to leave with you he'll start to be more touchy and whisper sweet nothings to you.

F = Family (do they want one? If they do, when?)

yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. yes. Did i mention yes? Wants to be a dad so bad and wouldn't want to do it along side anyone but you, I don't think he'd have a specific age, he could literally have kids right now as long as you both want it and are ready. But also if you did get accidentally pregnant he definitely would be so so excited, obviously nervous as it wasn't planned but so so excited. And speaking of accidental pregnancies, he probably would be the type to just go off all protection (condoms, birth control) so it wouldn't be planned like "we're trying for a baby" but you also wouldn't not be trying. Yk? He'd def have at least 2 as he wouldn't want them to be an only child, but if you wanted to stop after 1 cus the pregnancy was bad or just whatever reason he would 100% respect that and wouldn't pressure you at all. I like to imagine him with 2 twin girls. And than maybe like 3yrs after you'd get pregnant again on accident (how i said earlier, trying but also not trying) and you'd have a cute lil baby boy and he'd be smothered from his girly older sisters all the time. (Sorry that was REALLY long)

G = Gifts (how do they feel about gift giving? What are their habits when it comes to this?)

He doesn't like to make gifts a big deal, he'll just randomly see something that he knows you'd like, were thinking of buying or knows you need and just buy it for you. For birthdays and christmas he'd prob he'd have one big main gift and than a bunch of little things like matching socks, hoodies, jewelery, etc.

H = Holding Hands (when/how do they like to hold hands?)

As I already mentioned he loves to hold hands, literally everywhere. He's not huge on pda like he won't randomly make out with you in a public setting but he will definitely hold your hand (and a few kisses). Holding your hand while driving, eating, sleeping, sex, walking around, shopping, etc. Also if you 2 are just chilling both on your phones he'd have one hand on his phone and one holding your hand (or thigh)

I = Injury (how would they act if you got hurt?)

Oh boy he'd definitely panick, i think it would depend on the injury tho. If you clumsily got a paper cut or scrapped your knee he'd probably laugh at you a bit but still make sure you're ok. But imagine you got in a car accident. Worried sick. Literally hyperventilating. And if he was the one driving?? He'd blame himself constantly and apologise profusely. Also the type to cry at your hospital bed while holding your hand even tho it was smth minor like getting your appendix taken out.

J = Jokes (do they like to joke around with or prank you? how?)

He loves like sarcastic remarks and inside jokes but not really pranks? Like I've seen some couples do cheating pranks or where they pretend smth rly bad happend or that they're made at their partner. He definitely wouldn't do that and would hate it if you did it to him. He would definitely overthink it and question himself/your relationship especially if it went too far. Also would never want to be the reason you overthink or are stressed.

K = Kisses (how do they like to kiss you?)

He LOVES kissing. Just a bunch of repeated pecks after eachother while caressing your cheek or neck with one hand around your waist or holding your boob??? Would definitely kiss passionately especially if you won't see eachother for a while or one of you has to go out without the other. Also loves to be kissed, loves when you kiss his forehead or his hand while he's driving. Anything that's gentile and delicate and natural, he just loves kissing.

L = Love (how do they show you they love you?)

HUGE on physical touch. Also quality time, would literally text you to go fill up gas with him or drag you with him to the bathroom cus he doesn't want to leave you. He also loves acts of service, he knows you can do it but why do it when he can do it for you?? Princess treatment all over. Tbh I think all the love languages fit him in some way or another.

M = Memory (favorite memory together?)

That one night you both stayed up together cuddled up going from sloppy kisses all over to talking about everything that crosses your minds, like the deep overwhelming thoughts to how many dots does a ladybug have. He just loves the simplicity of it all and how you can turn everything into magic. Also your first time having sex, it would've been so gentle and delicate he would think about it all the time.

N = Nightmare (what is their worst fear?)

You cheating on him or breaking his trust in any way. HUGE HUGE HUGE on loyalty, trust and secrets. Not necessarily secrets but keeping things to yourself, like wouldn't want you to talk about your sex life with someone other than him and he also wouldn't want you to share anything personal he tells you. Basically just you breaking his boundaries and trust. He would definitely be devastatingly heart broken if you cheated on him, it's a great intimacy and connection to him. Something that is so vulnerable and special to him. He'd definitely feel used and would rethink everything if you betrayed his trust/wasn't loyal.

O = Oddity (what is one quirk they have?)

"No I'm not hungry" *steals your food*

"No I'm fine don't worry about it" *sobbing on your shoulder 2hrs later*

"No I'm not tired let's go for a drive" *nearly falls asleep behind the wheel*

"Who's that?" *someone you've both known for years*

Just random stupid stuff like this, he doesn't do it on purpose and feels bad as he definitely doesn't want to annoy you but you find it cute and adorable so it's fine. It also doesn't happen that often just when he's having a rough time with his anxiety or is upset.

P = Pet Names (what do they like to call you?)

He'd definitely be all "nah I don't like pet names it's stupid" and than would be calling you baby 10 seconds later. I think he'd use baby a lot during intimate moments, not alot in public just in situations between you two. Angel, sweetheart, princess (maybe?). Wouldn't rly like babe but it does slip out sometimes. Loves when you call him pet names too.

Q = Quality Time (how do they like to spend time with you?)

This man would spend every second of his life with you as possible. He just wants to do and share everything with you, having there also just makes him hapoier and makes the time more special.

R = Rhythm (what song reminds you of them?)

Honestly every song can be associated with him. But Slut! and stay stay stay always make me think of him immediately.

S = Secrets (how open are they with you?)

Very open, not immediately but very open, if you ask him about smth he'd tell you the honest truth, he hates secrets and doesn't like to keep things from you and doesn't want you to keep things from him. He understands your boundaries tho so if it's a sensitive topic he definitely wouldn't pressure you to talk about it but would also love to know your story and would listen to you any time.

T = Time (how long did it take you to get together?)

He was rly rly nervous at first, you were probably friends first, flirty friends. He would know you two are just friends but would also be loyal to you, you'd probably be hanging out one day and end up kissing, just a lot of unoffical dates and kisses until they become official and frequent. Would probably ask you to be his girlfriend right after you two kiss one day, wouldn't take him too long maybe like 2weeks or a month depending on how often you hang out. (SO you are in love coded)

U = Upset (how do they act when you’re upset?)

Wants to be around you all the time to make sure you know he's there and also to keep track of how you're doing but would also understand if you want time alone. Checking up on you constantly, cooking for you, cleaning up around the house for you, constant reassurance and affirmations. Lots of hugs and cuddles.

V = Vaunt (what are they proud of? Do they like to show you off?)

Definitely talks about you all the time, doesn't even realise he's doing it he just does. Posts abt you too. Would probably post one of does shadow pictures of you two or a picture of you two cuddling. Also would post you for international gfs day. Just imagine "it's my birthday today but it's also international girlfriends day-"

W = Warrior (how do they feel about you fighting? Would they fight for you, beside you, etc?)

Definitely sticks by you through everything, even if you're wrong. He would talk about it later in private if he thought you were in the wrong but would definitely stick up for you. Even if you're in an argument and someone brought you up he would def be protecting/defending you. (Also speaking of arguments they def wouldn't last longer than a day or two if its rly bad cus he hates arguing sm and constantly apologises)

X = X-Ray (how well are they able to read you?)

Knows you better than he knows himself.

Y = Yes (how would they propose to you?)

You'd probably have a cute romantic dinner at somewhere expensive that serves your favourite food and than a walk around the park as the sun is setting while you two sit on a bench somewhere quiet snd private and he pulls out a ring. Wouldn't want to make a big deal out of it as he doesn't like grand gestures and thinks this is a more personal intimate moment. Also he'd def know if you were a silver or gold jewellery girly and get you a ring he knows you'd like. He knows the ring isn't the most important part of a marriage but he can definitely afford a beautiful one that would be exactly how you'd want it. I can also see him making a custom one.

Z = Zen (what makes them feel calm?)

You. Cuddles. Kisses. Hugs. Hugs. Hugs. Holding eachother. Back rubs. Talking with you. Knowing you're there and he isn't alone.

GANG!

I have one of those silly little moot thingies!

(No pressure you don't have to do it if you don't wanna!)

But! What music you automatically assume your moots listen to😼😼

To me, I imagine you fw brent faiyaz or the arctic monkeys, maybe some Daniel Caesar

Dude how did you know that... I fw Daniel Caesar and Brent Faiyaz HEAVY dawg are you psychic 😨 (Kendrick and Don Toliver TOO THE ENTIRE DAMN. ALBUM SIGH... ALSO KESHI I like too many artists this yap won't end so let me just stop myself) I never really got into the Arctic Monkeys but I still think they're awesome musicians, even if the music doesn't hit for me that much personally

I love this game though thank you for this, forgive me if I get any of you guys horribly wrong I'm a terrible judge of character...also I really like to talk about music so best believe I'll be listing a few songs out and explaining them too, very sorry if its a lot to look at 😭

@sugariricookies : you first ofc. I'd say you'd be into something fresh, I don't want to say cutesy bc its not exactly that but close yk. Beabadoobee FOR SURE and New Jeans too. Glue Song - Beabadoobee : its very quiet coffeeshop meetcute with a ton of flowers involved ykyk Melting - Kali Uchis : honestly any song by her bc CMON. I think it matches what you're like really well, if you don't listen to her much How Sweet - New Jeans : can we bfr this song is so heart emoji and you're also very heart emoji are we making sense

@sungbyhoon : Idk bit I feel like you'd be into something a little darker...? Not maybe something like Alt or Grunge, actually maybe yes if its something like Cade Clair or something, but more like Cigarettes After Sex and Chase Atlantic. Also very chill but less upbeat and more mature sounding I'm so sorry if this makes no sense, Another thing I feel like you'd also judge songs not just on the melody but also the lyrics so: Sunsetz - Cigarettes After Sex : Any song by them man bc they're lyrics are basically always so 🙏🙏🙏 Heavenly - Cigarettes After Sex : "Tell me it's love, tell me it's real" MAN 😢😢 LET ME SEE YA MOVE! - Lumi Athena & Cade Clair : HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT IT'S JUST REALLY GOOD OKAY I'M NOT PROJECTING (I might be)

@copyhanni : hey...😼😼 okay but you're giving me Chase Atlantic, The Weeknd, and Tory Lanez full stop. You'd be more chill but also upbeat?? but like less cute and more roadtrip-with-your-headphones-in-esque: Out of My Mood - brian mantra & gate 문 : I think indie would be up your alley too, esp brian mantra I love him sm Bloody Hands - brian mantra : another one, his songs don't have too much going on I think instrumentally and his tone is AWESOME it's just 🔥🔥 Swim - Chase Atlantic : need I say more the synth and drums are EVERYTHING.

@suneng : okay just because you said you like Sunflower I want to think that you really like Metro and Swae Lee (bc SAME.) Also these songs imo seem really nice to study to, and to me you come off as an academic in a way so I think this fits (STEM girlies 🙏): Too Many Nights - Metro Boomin, Future & Don Toliver : the bass the BASS god I love the bass SO MUCH. I remember being a trap hater when I was like 11 chat I was WRONG. I think you'd fw this honestly I'd say its pretty easy to like and super catchy and just very chill Love me Harder - WOODZ : this is a very bassy music selection I'm gonna be so embarrassed if you don't like bass 😭😭 but the guitar here was life changing I think you'd love this Link up - Metro Boomin, Don Toliver, wow there's a lot of people involved in this one hold up: Afrobeats/Raeggaeton I'm not very sure but its really good sigh...honestly I think any spider-verse soundtracks you'd probably love.

@stariikis : not sure what it is but imo you'd be into maybe something softer ykwim? Def have wave to earth on your playlist somewhere there has to be 👊👊 Kind of similar to riri I'd say something a little calmer ykyk: daisy. - wave to earth : such a good song wave to earth man GOODNESS. I think this is such a perfect song for the vibes you give off The Long Drive - tv room : okay tv room is a little eccentric with the hyperpop and everything but I think this is one of the tamer songs from him, much slower tempo than his usual ones but still super upbeat in a way An Art Gallery Could Never Be As Unique As You - mrld : long name alert 🚨🚨 jokes aside I think you'd be into songs with less synthetic instruments in it instead and this song is perfect for that

@nishiriki : okay I really had to squeeze out the brain juice for this one and its gonna be such a huge stretch but hear me out you sound like you like rap,,, maybe nothing too dark lyrics wise like JID but something sort of playful-ish... okay let me just get the songs out I think i'll make more sense then: Two Tens - Cordae & Anderson .Paak : see like something a little silly but still nice to listen to, like the kind of songs you'd play in the car with your friends, otw to some random place to hang out LOVE. - Kendrick Lamar : again, the entire damn album still has me in a chokehold to this day there's no way. This is def my favourite from them all though (and a huge obsession of mine rn) and I think it matches you really well PICK IT UP - Famous Dex & A$ap Rocky : I was obsessed with this like a few years ago and then that dance challenge came and I got obsessed again. I don't think I've ever seen so many interludes in just one song before and it's so well done like its so goofy oml, no but I'd think you'd be into rap that's a little more upbeat, less serious ykyk ++Blueberry Faygo honorable mention here

chat I may have yapped just a tiny bit...okay but I fs missed a few moots since I haven't interacted with them enough to justify the music they'd be into I think 😭 nah but if you want me to write you in too please let me know bc I'd be more than happy to :)

Confession: i think a lot of ppl acknowledge that Tom is a good actor, bt some ppl question his non-Spiderman roles, which i dnt personally disagree with. He def gets praised for his acting being the best part of a lot if his projects (cherry, tcr) bt i think ppl want movies/shows scripts to actually match his acting talent. Hes 27 and seems lik the type to keep on going, so hes going to b ok lol i think the R+J is really going to b great in his career and same with the Fred movie. I think he really does well in musicals and stage work

I do see a lot of overlap of Tom/Tomdaya fans, bt some of the few solo Tom fans I see seem to hate Z 😬 idk what it is about a lot of white boy fans hating their partners (even if its a small minority, their loud), bt it seems to b a trend. Tom used to follow some of his fanbase igs too, bt has since unfollowed some of them and mayb that distanced some if his fans? Idk tbh bt i think the overlap of Tom/Tomdaya fans might hav to due with mayb that, Z was more known during Spiderman+ a lot of her fans became his fans and i think hes one of the few young male celebs that seem to publically praise/admire his gf, and a lot of ppl really seem to lik that. I hav no doubt he will prob gain more solo fans when future projects come in

Thanks Anon for your Confession. :)

I understand that 100%. Did people have an issue with the TCR script? I felt that the script was just fine?? My only complaint was that it seemed to take a bit longer to get to the point, and it treated us as viewers like we were 5 years old lol (most of us figured out the twist by the end of episode 1, even if you don't follow Tom closely), but I didn't see anything wrong with the script.

To me, playing a role like Danny in TCR was actually a pretty complex role that has an actor playing like 5 different people....which, I felt that Tom executed beautifully btw. 😊

And the complaints with the script for some of his other projects like TDATT... I mean, Robert Pattinson was in the film as well.... Same with Bill Skarsgard. They're known to be decent actors. Why are their fans not harping on TDATT and how bad the script was? Why are THEY allowed to do TDATT and go on to do other projects without any complaint? Why is Tom always the one getting complained about? All of these actors are GOOD actors. Amanda Seyfriend was in TCR and she's also a good actress. Why is she not getting so much heat? Why is the pressure always on Tom?? 🤔 That's what I don't understand. I personally think fans are a bit too hard on Tom. Just let an actor be and do his/her job.... Not every project is going to be a blockbuster, or a "hit" with audiences... And you know what?? That's perfectly OKAY! Actors continue to act. 😊

Idk tbh bt i think the overlap of Tom/Tomdaya fans might hav to due with mayb that, Z was more known during Spiderman+ a lot of her fans became his fans and i think hes one of the few young male celebs that seem to publically praise/admire his gf, and a lot of ppl really seem to lik that.

I do feel that some fans of Tomdaya are just fans of Tom simply because Z is dating him, and they are just fans of whoever Z dates, as long as the guy treats her well. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I hav no doubt he will prob gain more solo fans when future projects come in

I hope so! 😊 This is just my personal opinion (of course), but I've been saying for a while now that I think Tom needs just a little bit of autonomy separating his career from his love life. We should be able to search for things on Tom and have plenty of Tom-solo content that doesn't have to be related to his gf (or gross, hypersexualized manips 🤮). I would be saying that no matter who he's dating.

It seems like for Tom however, they are inextricably linked, and imo that can be a BAD thing (in the long run) for a LOT of reasons. 🥴👀

At least with Zendaya, I feel like she has a separation of fans who are just fans of her and her work, and content isn't just about who she's dating/Tom, etc.... Idk if I'm making sense.

[crystalelemental]

As of today, I have finished Pokemon Platinum. Which means the remaining writeups will be...a while from now. Hopefully not too long. I am kind of in a state of just wanting to blitz through now. Platinum has been a long standing favorite that, in recent years, is lagging in the polls compared to Emerald. But having replayed it, how do I now feel about this delightful game?

Still generally positive. My team was super goofy this time. Beautifly (Naive), Pachirisu (Impish), Flareon (Bashful), Lopunny (Bold), Gardevoir (Sassy), and Octillery (Quirky). Almost entirely stinkers.

Now okay, given my team, it may be odd to say "Platinum thrives on its difficulty," but it's true. I think the takeaway, though, is how different it is from Emerald.

Boss battles follow a less guided structure. By which I mean, you can see the arc of Emerald, teaching skills and then giving counterplay. Platinum has counterplay but less teaching. It kind of expects you to know how to play, then does things like applies Leech Seed in the grass gym to overcome a possible Bronzor, Vespiquen, or Drifloon. Stuff like that. However, by the League, it becomes apparent what Platinum is about.

Platinum aims to make itself balanced by being restrictive with tools. Boosting TMs do not exist in this game. They're behind the BP paywall of the Battle Frontier, and I would never recommend that given how expensive they are and how little BP you acquire for hours of work. It also removes Thunder Wave, which is wild. Taking away these tools is a questionable decision, because it limits the player's access to options, which is generally not a favorite move.

But, consider how Emerald went. The most effective strategy is the one everyone likes using: four attacks. So Platinum leans into that by taking away other tools, and saying "just hit each other with sticks." This creates interesting situations, where lack of easy paralysis means my Pachirisu actually had value with high-paralysis moves, or Gardevoir and Alakazam's access to natural Calm Mind making them extremely valuable. It's restrictive, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't work for it.

Talking about challenge in Platinum is impossible without discussing what makes Cynthia the boss fight she is. There's a lot to go over, but I am surprised they don't take this approach more often.

Cynthia's fight has max IVs on all her Pokemon. Your Pokemon do not have this, guaranteed. What you do have in your favor is EVs, which are generally allocated evenly, about 80 per stat. Essentially, the numbers game to work out with Cynthia is whether your +20 at level 100 is enough combined with your EV rolls to match +31 at level 100 that she has. These numbers are absolute, because this is the first game to not have a form of Badge Boosting for your stats. Usually achievable, but not by much. Cynthia is interesting because she has her own tools working in her favor that offset the benefits the player has been reaping the entire game. She's the first one to really turn that toggle off, and even without tracking numbers, you can feel how ridiculous it is from how hard Garchomp hits, to how bulky Milotic and Spiritomb are.

But this is where the aforementioned restrictions come into play. Cynthia is staggeringly weak to setup. Spiritomb lacks for direct offensive pressure, so any setup sweeper has an incredibly easy time with her fight. Try running a Dragon Dance Altaria some time, you'll see what I mean. Even with Alakazam and Gardevoir, their higher speed and Calm Mind's Sp Def boosts means they can start to outpace it, if you're willing to use some healing items to stay in the game. My personal solution was Agility + Charge Beam Lopunny Baton Passing to Octillery who took out everything in one shot. It could've worked with Beautifly too, with a bit better luck.

On the one hand, by removing the tools she's weak to, the game forces you to play its way and ups the challenge of this particular boss fight. On the other, for Pokemon that do have access to tools she doesn't counter well? They're ridiculous. And Altaria and Lopunny are not exactly powerhouses, yet they contribute more to Cynthia's fight than a lot of pure offensive Pokemon. It's especially important to note that the usual solution in box legends doesn't work here. Cynthia's Garchomp is super-effective against all three major legends, and is naturally much faster, with perfect IVs. She's the only final boss so far to not get bopped by the major legends you can acquire. But she can be easily counterplayed by Altaria. Which is really funny.

Now of course, all this comes at a tradeoff. Specifically, when your advantage tools are turned off, it is more essential to keep at their approximate level. Which, in many situations, means grinding.

I will not front, Platinum's level scaling is not bad, but it can be felt painfully in some situations. The main game is generally fine, with the segments where a partner will heal your team after each battle being great spots to catch up Pokemon lagging in the level department. But no, it's postgame that really struggles.

Finally, I deliver on what I've been talking about all these posts: Pokemon postgames have a problem, and I think I've finally figured it out. The streamer I've been watching talking about Gen 2, saying that a feature he liked was that even into Kanto, you were often still working on building up your Pokemon. This is true! I didn't finalize my Togetic build until very late into Kanto. But it's the feeling about that which I can finally describe.

In main game Platinum, I am familiar with EV training spots. Taking time to train in these spots never feels like a chore to me, because in my mind, it's solving multiple problems. (1) I need to level up a bit. (2) If I reach X level, I can learn Y move, which is better damage/specific utility. (3) I can specifically work on improving my stats in a way I find beneficial toward this Pokemon's main function. It takes time, but I'm solving multiple problems, and thus it feels very purposeful.

By postgame, my movesets are built, and my EVs are capped. And yet, my level 57 ass now contends with a postgame that feels long but still doesn't have enough EXP to close the gap to Cynthia's new level 78 Garchomp. It took three tries to win when she was less than 10 levels above us. Now she's more than 20. That is untenable, and the only solution really is Gym Leader rematches, which are locked by the day, or bashing my face into the League. These are solutions! But they are not great ones. And when the only thing you're looking to do is make your level bigger, it's no longer building something, it's just meeting an arbitrary goalpost.

This is a problem for a lot of postgames in Pokemon. You're usually done by the time postgame gets rolling, and by then all you really seek out is an isolated challenge. Big areas to travel through with a ton of random battles is no longer appealing, because you don't need anything like that. But the isolated challenge of a bigger league is, in all likelihood, out of your range. So you do the long extra areas, and they now feel long. It's unpleasant.

Mechanically, I have to mention the Physical/Special split. By and large, this was a wild positive. This decision is what make Beautifly actually fun to use here; absolutely great improvements with access to Bug Buzz and Shadow Ball. There were a few losers to this adjustment, but by and large it's all upside. The only thing that bears mentioning is that now EVs can feel wasted, given that you can stack all your moves to one offensive type. But, because of HMs, you're likely still using both in most situations.

The most important thing to talk about though is the mythology. I love Sinnoh mythology, I think this is the best region solely for that. The concepts it presents are fascinating. And you get some really good characters out of this with Cynthia and Cyrus and Barry and Rowan. But it does feel like a shift. None of the gym leaders (barring Gardenia) really stand out as having any personality. Compared to Gens 2 and 3, this region's overall cast feels less interesting, in exchange for what feels like a lot of refinement of its big players. As an additional quick note, while I love the legends, the dex itself is by and large one of my less favorites. I don't really like many of the new Sinnoh additions. I could not tell you why.

At this point in time, I am willing to say, I prefer Emerald to Platinum now. Emerald just feels stronger overall, with no particularly weak areas to speak of, while Platinum has a few issues that are harder for me to look past now. I still adore Platinum, that's never going to change. But it's no longer my golden child.

Diamond and Pearl Corner I do not own Diamond or Pearl, and haven't since Platinum came out. I lent it to my cousin and never saw it again. Sometimes I lament its loss.

BDSP being such a one-to-one remake, I can at least identify a lot of the differences, and they're all kinda worse. I don't mind that Fantina's gym 5, but I feel like all the teams are worse, the lack of all the evolution Pokemon until postgame is worse, etc. I don't have much to say here, but I also have no interest in getting Diamond or Pearl. They just don't feel nearly as significant to me.

[frickingnerd]

Im curious how is the writing process going for you with so many requests. I hope it’s not too much. Please remember that we will all be very understanding and won’t hold a grudge if you decide you need to take a break or slow down. As to my questions (that are in no way meant to be rushing you, I’m just interested in your experiences with the event so far). Have you started? Any fics you’re especially excited to write or ones you’re stressed about? And if you started how are the fics so far, are they nice to write or do you wish you got different characters for different tropes?

oh gosh, i could say so much about the writing process of this event--

i have already started and finished half of the oneshots already! 1 - 15 are done (excluding 10), plus a couple later ones that i did in random order!

i set myself the (probably unrealistic) goal to finish everything before april ends. and it's kinda making me burned out, but also... i just know i'll feel even worse if i don't write, so i'll just write and then edit it later :')

i have some fics i had ideas for from the start (like the prompt 'trapped together' or 'assassin x target') so those are relatively easy to write!

other tropes are harder because i just put them on the list without thinking? 'match making' or 'promise' were such tropes. match making specifically has the added pressure of releasing on my birthday so i wanna put out an awesome oneshot on that day, but can't fully think of something yet :')

and then there are oneshots that would be so much better as headcanons. 'body swap' & 'boss x assistant' would work very well as headcanons and get the point across easier, but i think they still turned out okay!

my favorite fic so far was 'time loop' with shinjiro. that was the first one i wrote when i was super motivated & it's also the longest oneshot i wrote so far. i have a couple more that i like, but i think i'll keep it short haha

there are some tropes where certain characters would've probably worked better than the ones i got, but none where it's too hard to make it work. i think only 'revenge' with kiyotaka from DR & 'royalty' for ryuku from MHA are a bit hard. kiyotaka is too nice for revenge, so the reader has to be the asshole here. and ryuku isn't a character that is royalty in any form, but again, i can make the reader royalty here. so no trope & character combo is too much of a hassel :)

also, i started writing some headcanons at the side, so i won't fully get burned out from just writing oneshots. i def learned that for future events, i'll have to do something shorter than a month or give myself more time. but i think 1-2 week long events might be something i'll try next! probably with themes like 'yandere week' or 'jealousy week' or something like that!

[kissmetwicekissmedeadly]

For the ask game! 1, 10, and 30!

Hiya Andy! I almost fell asleep mid answering this jfkdkgkdkf i hate being sick andyyyy 😭

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

I'd def send a link to my masterlist/ao3 instead of giving just some work hahah!! What's a best introduction according to me could be a very meh work according to them, they need to pick whichever ones speaks to them based on looks! Even in my masterlist i add the work's tags hopping that it gives a better impression of what's going on than just character + title + genre... If it's a person I know I'll try to assign them a fic though >:)

10. How do you decide what to write?

In any given moment I have about 40 works i should be working on 💀 not even an exaggeration! 31 kinktober fics, 20 others that are a combination of old requests, napoweek fics, other challenges fics, random wips... wait that's more than 40. Anyway when you have so many things to write but without pressuring yourself about (hahahahagahahah), you have tons of already existing ideas to choose from, and you get to feel accomplished in the end of completing each one as a step towards clearing your goals! And coming up with a whole different random fic is fun too because you didn't see it coming. How do i choose what to work on at a time? It depends; if something inspires me during the day i match it with a fic it would fit in and write it before it can get away, but i also try to sit and write the next fic in line just like that, as a challenge >:) I'm trying to be flexible and not sweat it too much! Also if there is a holiday/bday/any occasion really, a fic comes out of nowhere, I don't know how this happens

Wow what thefuck was that wall of text. the next answer will be short

30. Have you ever written something that was out of your comfort zone? If so, what was it, and how did it affect your approach to writing fic thereafter?

Nothing comes to mind right away so I guess nothing too much to handle! I think I'd try to find my way around it without turning it down (if it's a request), but hasn't happened yet!

High Education, Low Expectation

@chimaericrealities || Starter from plotting!

The room is way, way bigger than Shinji expected. 

He stands in the doorway with a backpack slung across his shoulders. His right hand grips the handle of a big, beat-up suitcase with wheels. In his left hand, he holds his prized possession: a vintage Crosley record player, once bright red, but faded and dinged up around the edges now. It’s the portable kind that folds up small and nice. It’s a touch of comfort, a touch of home, in a place that Shinji can already tell will smack him across the face with an abundance of new, unfamiliar experiences. 

The place looks empty, so Shinji takes a few steps inside. After about half a second’s consideration, he shrugs out of his backpack and deposits it on one of the extra-long twin beds. It doesn’t look like Shinj’s roommate has so much as swung by yet, so Shinji figures he gets to call dibs on which side of the room is his - not, he reflects idly, that it makes much difference. The room is unadorned and completely symmetrical.

He walks his way over to the window and peers down into the quadrangle below. Two kids toss a frisbee back and forth. A group of friends sprawl together on a picnic blanket. Some folks stroll down the paved pathways that cut through well-manicured grass. One lonely-looking kid reads a book on a wrought-iron bench. 

It’s... so classic. It’s so fucking collegiate. Who knew, eh? 

He didn’t admit it to any of his pals back home, but somewhere in the back of his mind, part of Shinji wonders whether he’ll be able to fit in in a place like this. He knows, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that he’ll be able to sell it - that he’ll be able to charm his way through parties, and smooth-talk his way through difficult questions in the classroom, and pick up quick on the latest trends and fashions alongside the most tapped-in of his peers - but he’s curious about the way it’ll all feel, deep down.

Will he ever feel a sense of ownership over this place?

Hell - will he even make any real, true, honest-to-god friends? 

Shinji turns away from the window. He sets his record player down on the chunky, wooden desk and pops it open. He connects the fraying power cord to the input in the back and punches the power source into a wall outlet. He sidles back over to his suitcase, lays it unceremoniously down on its side, and zips it open. He didn’t bring much in the way of clothes - just the best of the best, and enough to get him through about two weeks without repeating an outfit, if he’s reasonably creative - because the suitcase is crammed with as many carefully protected vinyls as Shinji could manage. He fishes through his stock, fast and businesslike, until he finds what he’s looking for. As he rises and runs his thumbs along the edge of the multicolored album cover, he can feel his skinny shoulders sagging in relief. He slides the record out of its sleeve, lays it on the turntable, and drops the needle. 

With that, Shinji plops into the desk chair, leans his head back, and sticks his hands behind his head, in a concentrated effort to unwind a little. Who knows? he thinks, as he lets the first strains of familiar music wash over him on this first day in an unfamiliar place. Maybe I’ll get lucky. Maybe my roommate’s into music, and we’ll hit it off right away...

[kwontinue]

good morning, good afternoon or whatever time it is that you’re reading this! i really love your works, they always manage to put a smile on my face!! i was just wondering what you think about seventeen choosing their s/o outfits? i hope you enjoy the rest of your day ☺️

ootd

seventeen reacts to them choosing their s/o outfits

a/n: hi anon! i am actually reading this during the afternoon ruhdjeb also thank you for sending this ask in, i really love it!

choi seungcheol

this is a but blunt but i am pushing the scoups suggar daddy agenda

when you ask him to choose out an outfit for you, he would hand you a tshirt and pants which feels underwhelming ( which it it )

until he pulls you to his car, drives to the mall, and spoils you. buying anything that catches his eyes and he would love for you to wear

yoon jeonghan

would match your outfits with his. that's it.

i mean we've all seen the jihan / jeongcheol pics right? he would def want to match with you

would choose either the same clothes as his or matching colors or themes

hong jisoo

he does this for you at least once a month to make you feel taken care of

he would run you a bath, layout all your beauty products on your vanity, and your clothes on the bed

he's just so hubby material i wanna cry

wen junhui

would call hao for advice on what he chose

don't judge him, he just wants to make sure that's it your style and you'll look completely amazing in it ( not that he has to try that hard since everything looks good on you )

very flustered when you walk out all dressed and ready since you look gorgeous

kwon soonyoung

hw would make you wear tiger print gebehebrg

HE JUST WANTS TO FEEL YOUR SUPPORT FOR HIS HORANGHAE AGENDA OKAY?!

puts you in a cute outfit but really really does incorporate tiger print in it

jeon wonwoo

unbothered.

i mean again, he would love to choose the outfit that you would wear but you ask him for advice on what to wear everyday so how is this different?

showers you in compliments

lee jihoon

again, my heart says that he would adore this but my mind says he wouldn't

i think he would feel uncomfortable choosing clothes for you since that's you and he loves you and who you are and he doesn't feel the need to change that or make you "more to his liking"

but if he WANTS you to wear something he'll leave it out or subtly give you hints

lee seokmin

will ABSOLUTELY blush and giggle

he thinks it sweet that you'd let him pic out your outfits and he would really try his best to "capture you"

will rain praises on you when you dress up in the outfit that he chose

kim mingyu

mingyu is not even in my bias line and i obsess over him so much

there is a specific scenario that i imagine where this would play out

he would have gone to the mall and bought you a cute top or any article of clothing

would come home excited shows you, lays out an outfit thenntakes you out on a date

yes. i immediately thought of that, i need help

xu minghao

he would be indifferent when you ask him to do this because it's a routine by now

everyone knows that hao is the main fashionista of the group so it's no surprise that you always ask him for outfit advice everyday

has a cute little smirk when you come out in the outfit that he chose and looking gorgeous

boo seungkwan

this would happen when you two get into an argument ( not a serious one ) about your clothes and how they are not covering you enough from the cold winds of winter

you would rebutt that he could choose what you wear, and he does

would have you wrapped up from head to toe ensuring that you went get cold in the slightest

chwe hansol

i feel like he would either give you one of three options: a basic outfit ( like a white tshirt and pants ), a very experimental outfit , and a fashionable one

he's just so adorable making your outfits that you'd wear it even if it's not your style

lee chan

happy baby!

he would literally feel so honored and pressured ( but you don't need to know that ) in choosing your outfits

overthinks and thinks that you might not like what he has chosen for you so he has multiple back up options

[brandnewhuman]

I saw that you do matchups and I thought I’d ask for one too! This is my first time asking for a matchup so I hope I do this right🤞

I go online by Cannibal (not comfortable giving out my real name) I use She/Her pronouns. I am straight and polyamorous. I have really long brown hair, brown eyes, pierced ears, and glasses. My nails are always painted black and nothing else lmao.

The type of clothes I wear are always black. I wear band tees of classic bands like AC/DC, Def Leopard, KISS, Metallica, etc etc…

As you can probably tell I like rock and heavy metal! I am a hugeeee metal head and tend to annoy my family and neighbors with how loud I blast my music

I like art and writing, really anything that is a creative outlit. But I also love watching movies, true crime, listening to music, exploring places, and playing with animals from dogs to possums.

Uhhhh that’s all I can think of to put, hope I did this right!

I paired you up with...

♡Jesse Cromeans♡

Aaaaah this was so hard to do cause your vibes would match with a lot of the slashers 

I decided for Jesse because your whole energy really resonates with him in my opinion. A kind of grungy badass aesthetic like yours I'd exactly what I would think Jesse would like in a s/o 

I don't want to say too much about what his take would be in polyamourous relationships cause I personally don't really know much about the topic and I wouldn't want to say something harmful or spread misinformation. But for the little I know I don't actually think he would have any sort of problem with it, I think he would be even willing to at least try and in case he doesn't like it he'll always respect your desires and would never force you to stop doing what feels good for you. If something makes you feel happy then that's all that matters for him♡ 

Gosh, you two would be such a power couple. He would take you to any concert you may like and not only that but would be wearing band shirts too at the concert so you both can match. He feels less pressured to be perfect with you, now that he has someone with whom he can be a little bit more carefree he's gonna enjoy it. You're like his favourite person so with you he feels safe to relax and be more laid back. 

He would spend his free time watching true crime stuff with you or even answering any questions you might have about serial killers cause you know… 

He would make sure your art in any shape or form gets appreciated and seen as much as it deserves. would do and buy you everything to ensure you have as much liberty to create as you need. He could spend hours watching you at work and everytime he sees something you have done he feels immensely and genuinely proud of you. 

And you want to explore places? GORL THIS MAN WOULD TAKE YOU TO THE MOST AMAZING PLACES EVER. HE WOULD BE SO HAPPY TO TRAVEL WITH YOU AND HAVING FUN VISITING THINGS TOGETHER. 

This matchup made me think about this song:

[urhighnessbitch]

TW sa. So I like the kinky shit and my partners do as well, but I really really need to be alone after sex. I just need to put my clothes on or go take a shower and I don't like to be touched or talk at all. The people I've been with understand, but I don't think they like it. Like I think it makes them sad and I don't want to not fuck just bec I have trauma, but I don't want to hurt people I love? Do you have any advice for this? I'm usually submissive if that matters. Sorry I don't really know who to ask about this!

I wanted to add I have talked abt it with someone I was with because she wanted me to cuddle her and I felt bad because I just really felt panicked. Like I don't know how to have a convo when I don't feel comfortable compromising on this? So yeah in the meantime I've just been not fucking and if you don't feel comfy answering me that's totally okay!!!

Hey you! First of all, l really appreciate the triggerwarning, thank you.

What you're describing sounds really complicated because of the many things to consider - your needs, the trauma that might shape them, your partners needs, everyone's comfort, etc. so I'll try my best to include multiple angles!

As for your needs, l think you're very clear on what you need and it's good you don't let other people pressure you into doing stuff you're uncomfortable with. If you have the emotional energy to spare, maybe you could think about if that's influenced by trauma tho? Like, try and make sure you don't feel like you don't deserve aftercare?

This actually leads into another topic really well bc that might be something your partners are scared of! Just like you, they wouldn't want to hurt someone they care about, and playing into someone's trauma could def do that. I think if you could reassure them that they really aren't messing things up, that might help? And, while your ideal aftercare/post session cooldown can very well be spending time on your own, theirs might not. Doms do also need aftercare so if you were to want to play with someone who needs touch or something immediately after, you might just not be a good match. Compromising on aftercare needs isn't a good idea

As for solutions, the best l can come up with right now is to let you have space right after a session (and playing with ppl who can handle that without dropping) and then, once you've had the chance to calm down, sit down together and talk about the session or cuddle? So that these things are not aftercare but more a separate action in the hopes that it might make you more comfortable with them? I'm not sure if you're generally comfortable with them but if you were not comfortable with talking about kink or sessions at all, that might be a sign playing actually isn't a good or safe idea for you right now

Also, just because a lot of this was based on what you assume other people feel, maybe having another big talk about everyone's needs and feelings could also help everyone be more clear? Neither of us know how they actually feel rn

[thetpot]

HEYO I just wanted to say thanks for being one of a small number of zukaang writers, I swear there's only like 5 of you out there. Makes you all the more appreciated 🥺 I've had a post-war (maybe zukaang, but def Aang and Zuko focused) fic brewing in my head since 2018 and seeing that there IS still a community here inspires me to maybe use all that research and all those ideas and start writing... (the thing I get stuck on most is writing character dialogue tho, banter is my fave part of fics but I feel like I'm not funny lol, any tips??)

this is the sweetest damn thing, thank you, anon 😭

ngl i did burn myself out a little with the zukaang fics but they were a hoot while they lasted. i might circle back to writing some more eventually.

AND OMG YES, WRITE ZUKAANG FIC. DROP IT IN THAT TAG IDEC IF IT'S ABO. MORE OF ZUKAANG IS MORE FOR ALL OF US TO ENJOY.

as for tips for banter, i'll say that you're not required to be funny at all or even match the tone of the original work in your fic. what's the tone and atmosphere of your fic? i've written angsty fic where a MILDLY funny line gets so much notice from readers for how it works with the tone of the fic. i used to feel the pressure to write banter and because i simply don't want to, i just write the kind of fics where there's no banter lmao. aang and zuko mostly exist in isolation in most of my fics, the rest of the world be damned.

that said, one thing that works for me in terms of writing better dialogue is just envisioning the show's voice actors saying the lines. most of them have very distinct inflections and cadences and just filtering the dialogue through them can help me tighten it sometimes.

hope this helps! and thanks again for the kind words <3

[robin-the-enby]

hey there!! i was wondering if icould request a marvel matchup? Preferably with a guy if possible!

my name is dee, my pronouns are she/her. I am a taurus sun, gem moon, and scorpio rising and im an entp (debater).

Appearance wise: Im pretty short at 5”1, i naturally have medium length brown hair but right now with blonde undersides (narcissa malfoy style because im basic) but im always messing around with it and bleaching/dying it. I have hazel eyes that change colour a lot and i wear glasses sadly. im pretty pale, and i would say im pretty slim but my chest is on the bigger side lol. I change up the way i dress all the time, but right now im definitley into the more fairycore slightly grunge vibe.

Personality wise: before you get to know me people usually say that i come across as a little intimidating which i think is hilarious. I reckon its because im very opinionated and when i get the occassional burst of confidence around new people im not afraid to voice those opinions. Im def that person that beings up politics at a party :/. When you get to know me i would say im witty and kind. I can be sarcastic and i like to think im funny haha. Im also a pretty intelligent person, i love learning constantly and have to have my brain stimulated all the time (ravenclaw vibes) or i get so bored so easily. contrastingly, i am the wORST procrastinator. I always end up doing ok though when i just write essays like 2 hours before theyre due. I work well under pressure i guess. i love to read (especially classics and romance). Im a hopeless romantic for sure but i keep tht lowkey hidden because i dont like to be vulnerable around people. I have lowkey anger issues and lash out bc i never learnt how to process emotions lol. I have depression and ADHD (super fun combo there) but i always just make jokes about it because i hate feeling bad. I love to act and LOVE to sing, im on a musical theatre course right now. I also do love messing around with makeup and i love any excuse to dress up all glam and sexy.

Im not sure what else to include really. I hope this is okay! Thank you so so much <3

Hello, thanks for requesting! I also really love reading classics, right now I'm in the middle of Dickens' Bleak house, and I'm loving it! I match you with:

This golden retriever of a man would love how talkative you are during your "occassional bursts of confidence". You can very easily hold your own in an argument, proving your points with cold logic and Stevie is infatuated.

Tbh he is the person that would bring up politics at parties too, not because of love for the topic, but because he is kinda awkward, lket's be honest. However, in you, he finds the perfect partner to discuss everything and anything about the modern world.

You can back up your opinions with logic and knowledge, he can back up his with years o experience from the past, so it makes for very interesting conversations.

It's safe to say that Steve loves both your wit and your kindness. Kindness is something he himself values a lot, the wit is just a bonus. You remind him of Bucky in that way, his best friend was also pretty witty and smooth when he wanted to be, so of course he'd love to have that trait in his partner too.

Although sarcasm isn't Steve's first choice humor wise, he appreciates a good sarcastic joke. And when he, in extreme situation mind you, resorts to using sarcasm, you can be sure he'll absolutely rip the person he's talking to to shreds.

Steve loves learning about this new world he's been thrown into as well, so you too have so many date ideas, you don't have to be worried. Museums, art galleries, theatres, fun fairs, libraries and book stores, you name it, he probably agrees to it.

Whenever you procrastinate, Captain America kind of flares up in Steve and he'll help you do the stuff you need to. He gets that it's not really your fault, since you have ADHD and depression and procrastination is a symptom of both of those illnesses, but he tries his best to help however he can. Both to get you to do the thing and help you with the thing you need to get done.

He's so proud of you whenever you succeed in anything, be it a good grade on your essay or something like that. He always takes you out as a celebration, like to get ice cream or to the park.

He tries to help you with your mental state as well, obviously. If you need to talk to him about your feelings, because they're confusing for you, he'll sit there as long as you need. If you yell at him without thinking first, he takes it, as long as you apologize later. He understands, on a deeper level too. Being a soldier, a super soldier none the less, and America's Golden boy, it puts pressure on a person and it comes with loads of baggage. Just be there for him when he needs it too and he's happy to help.

You don't have to worry about being vulnerable around Stevie, he can be twice the romantic for the both of you. Anything cheesy you can think of, he's probably done at some point. A dinner by candle light, stargazing, chocolates and a teddy bear for valentine's day, he's thought of it all. He's so classy about it too, it's really charming.

He'll support you in any hobby you choose. He'll go to all your place, even sets yoiu up with movie producers (thank Tony for that) if you want, he's really perfect. After any of your plays, he'll wait for you by the entrance to the theatre/cinema with a bouquet of flowers and tell you how wonderful you were.

[punk-rock-pixie]

Y'all literally don't shut up about them, so just.... DO THEM ALL. ALL THE FUCKING QUEEN ASKS (Ps. Y'all would be cute with young Brian May and MAYBE Roger Taylor but mostly Bri. Okay bye)

Lord… Okay. I guess I did say that I would answer them all at once. I just wasn’t expecting someone to do it.

(Also aw. lmao)

I’m gonna do it all under the cut.

Who would you dance with if you got the chance?

When you say dance what do you mean? Slow, fun, or like??? Idk. Probably John Deacon

Whose voice do you like least of the 3 singing members of the band?

I DON’T I LOVE THEM ALL PLEASE DON’T MAKE ME CHOOSE.

In your opinion what is the worst outfit any of them ever wore?

Hard Life. It’s rediculous and I love it. (Actually highkey would totally wear John or Brian’s costumes lmao)

If you could steal one of their features what would you take? (ie. Roger’s eyes, Brian’s hair, John’s butt, Freddie’s stache etc.)

Roger’s Eyes. I don’t think I’d look good with the other two lmao

Have you ever seen Highlander or Flash Gordon?

I’ve seen Flash a couple times. It’s super bad lmao

Is there a Queen song you really don’t like? If so what is it?

Is it a cop out to say some stuff from Hot Space? I really don’t enjoy much off Hot Space other than maybe Cool Cat.

Do you know how to boil an egg?

I don’t, but I’m sure a quick google search will tell me.

Opinion of Hot Space

I guess I answered this one, but I’m not a huge fan. Given what was being done behind the scenes at the time.

If you were friends with the band who would you go to for comfort?

TRICK QUESTION. I internalize all my problems because I cannot burden people lmao

What Queen song can you absolutely not skip even if you’re not in the mood for it?

‘39 and Good ol Fashioned Lover Boy

I’m In Love with My Car. Love it or Hate it?

A jam ™ lmao

Do you play Scrabble?

Not often but my sis and I do sometimes. I love that the band did that while on tour.

Who has the best fashion sense in the band?

All? All of them… 

If you could meet any of the three living band members (including sneaky Deaky) who would you choose to meet?

Brian. He’s been such an inspiration to me and his solos were the reason I began playing in the first place.

If you had to pick an inanimate object to have a crush on would it be a car or a guitar? (Yes, I’m poking fun at Brian and Rog)

I’m already mocked for being in love with my music so defs guitar.

Have you been inspired to pursue something musical because of Queen?

Literally all of my music career.

Millionaire Waltz or Dreamer’s Ball?

BOTH?

If you were friends with the band who do you think would come to you for comfort or advice?

I’m not sure. I feel like John might, but it’s hard to say. People generally seem to open up a lot to me because I am a listener but?????

Do you want to be a penguin when you grow up?

Always. Slide on my belly and avoid financial problems? Hell yeah.

Who do you think is the best looking member of the band?

UH. Brian. Uhm. I haven’t had a crush on him for over half my life lmaooo Although Roger was and still is a very pretty person lmao

Opinion on Queen + Adam Lambert

It’s not Freddie, and it never will be. However, Lambert is very talented and I am so excited to see them in Concert this summer! I’m sure they will be great

F**k, Marry, Kill… go!

UH. UHHHH. 

Fuck Rog

Marry Brian

Kill Paul lmao????

Favorite outfit worn by any of them

I love their Radio Ga Ga outfits so much, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, and Brian’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” look. Also there’s an early look from Roger that makes me cry when I see it, but I don’t remember what tour it was

This is them respectively:

Is there a song by Queen that you feel is overrated?

Not completely, but I feel there are some very UNDERrated songs

Have you seen Queen in any form? (With Freddie or Adam or Paul)

Nope, but seeing them in summer!!!

Do you follow any of the band on social media?

Of course I do lmao

Do you own any Queen albums and on what format are they? (Vinyl, tape, cd, etc)

I don’t actually, but I listen non stop on spotify lmao

Freddie with or without the ‘stache?

I think the stache was a very iconic look, but I love them both.

Favorite song written by Freddie?

Defs “I was Born to Love You” 

John with long hair or short?

Short. 

Favorite John song?

I love “You’re my Best Friend” because he wrote it for his wife, and it makes me so happy

Favorite Brian written song?

Driven by You or ‘39 defs

Rog with or without sun/glasses?

Defs without. He has a nice face

Favorite Roger song?

It’s lowkey not good, but I love it so much “Future Management” Aka (You don’t need nobody else but me)

Do you think you could beat any of them at Scrabble?

Not at all

Do you think you could out drink any of them?

DEFS NOT. I am such a light drinker. One swig of (probably aged) vodka was enough to put me out lmao

Whose house would you choose to live in?

idk I never went to their houses?

Thoughts on the song 39?

I think I’ve made it clear lmao

Do you like cats?

Very much!

I was never quite able to, but my dad is and so was one of my exes which is where I get me (very minimal knowledge)

Favorite album?

Great fuckin question

Who has the nicest eyes in the band?

You already fuckin know but also they all do! Especially when they all smile. 

If you could go back in time to any concert they ever performed, which would it be?

I would love to see Wembley or Liveaid tbh, but I’d also love to see when they just start after Smile.

Do you think John Deacon will ever come out of hiding?

Not sure, and I think we should 100% respect him and his family and his privacy tbh??? Like??? Let him live.

Who do you think will outlive the rest?

Brian probably because he bikes so much.

Do you prefer pre or post synth Queen?

I’m okay with both! I think they’re both good for different reasons!

If you could tell any one band member something (including Freddie) who would it be and what would you say?

Of course Brian. I would thank him (and the rest of the band) for inspiring me so much. Probs about the story of first hearing them on the radio and listening to those solos and saying that I wanted to do that. Idk. 

Realistically, I’d probably be trying not to cry and make a fool of myself and ultimately fail…
