listening: idk, stuff on my phone on shuffle. some more coral bones youthemism i guess. friends at the table sangfielle, episode 3; i might not actually relisten to the rest of the arcs i already did and just skim the transcripts.
no children (ska remix) by sad snack: im back in my ska era. really funny song to have an upbeat ska tone.
the mountain goats deserters fan album: have not listened to the whole album yet but god, what a cool and unique thing that i don't think could really exist for most other bands. Five Fucking Hours
youtube
youtube
reading: Polynesian Tattooing Tools, linked from Fairhaven comic
why gen z is obsessed with point-and-shoot digital cameras: it's funny because a few months ago i was considering getting a cheap point-and-shoot to fuck around with. looks like i am not the only one who was thinkin about it.
i'm working my way through le guin's 'the left hand of darkness'! i bounced off it the first time i tried reading it a few years ago but last year i read a le guin short story anthology that had some stories set on karhide and i think that gave me a good enough primer on the world/her writing style to get it to stick this time. i'm enjoying it! it's a good book!
watching: mina le - booktok & the hotgirlification of reading: some good background video for crochet etc. bernadette banner - hand sewing regency stays should be quick...right?: oughhhhh so pretty. bernadette banner - this regency court gown is probably my favorite project ever: i won't lie i got a little misty-eyed at the artisans getting to sign their names on the robe.
rewatched the gay and wondrous life of caleb gallo. i forgot how good it is, it really holds up and is still funny
also, continued doctor who watch/rewatch. i'm ngl i think the way rory and amy were shoved off screen was...really stupid. "he can't go back to that specific year in ny :(" ok, before amy gets zapped back you just go "yo go to new jersey in a few days" and go pick them up. really silly imo
playing: fallow. did buy miserichord, omori, and slay the princess in the steam summer sale. i have signalis, voyager 19, and a short hike in my cart as we speak. more games that i haven't played to feed the steam library let's goooo
making: crocheted some granny squares.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
pattern for the yellow one is this lantana square...if anyone has any interesting looking granny square patterns that would be good in one solid color send em my way!
thinking of getting this pattern too.
i realized this past week that my urge to Make has been very stale and derivative the past few years, if that makes sense. like i don't feel Creative, i see something and mimic it - i do paintings based on photos i took, i follow knitting patterns, i come across something ceramic and decide to make one of my own, i find reference images to copy. but no actual, like, Inventing on my own end. i think that's why i haven't done a lot of fanart or fanfiction as well, just no ideas. i know that's just part of the cycle of creativity and i'm just in a "hunter-gatherer" period of amassing skills and references but idk. i'm tired of it. i want to create more meaningful things but i have no actual ideas, the well feels dry, and i'm not sure how to fix that.
eating: fallow
misc: stares at my mom and brother doing politics doomerism re: supereme court ruling in the family group chat. looks away. chants 'nothing ever happens' to myself like a mantra.

Pas De Deux | Suna Rintarou/Reader
Characters: Reader, Miya Atsumu, Suna Rintarou, Miya Osamu (mentioned)
Pairings: Reader/Miya Atsumu and Reader/Suna Rintarou
Warnings: arguing, one sided pining, defo OOC but who am I to care. If there’s any other let me know!
Word Count: 1893
Summary: NGL idk how to summary this. Atsumu took your little relationship for granted, that much you knew, what you didn’t know was that you desired a greater dance, a graceful one. You didn’t know that until you met eyes with Suna Rintarou
A/N: Kinda shooting in the dark with this one, think it’s a little weird but I’m trying again so that’s nice. Enjoy my 2 am, chocolate hedgehog fuelled ramble fest that ends too quickly but eh because I am WRITINF!
———
It was a dance.
Nothing too complicated; a simple sway with his arms around your waist, a little too fast for the pace of the song. Was he really in a rush to end this little thing you had going on?
You remembered it used to be different. Neither of you could fall in line with each other’s movements. Arms were so straight that they were painful. So, obviously, you agreed to loosen the slack, and then suddenly you were stamping on each other’s feet.
Oh, Atsumu, where do I fall in your world? You thought to yourself.
A silent agreement: in school, you could smile and greet him, but his world was larger than yours. His stars shone brighter. You’d be burnt alive if you stepped any closer. Outside of school, he’d be climbing over you, trying to get the advantage in a game of Mario Kart that he would inevitably lose.
Maybe you yearned for more. Was that such a bad thing?
Not that you’d ever admit it.
“Are you sure you aren’t dating?” Your friends would tease you, to which you’d laugh softly - a well paid actress for the metaphorical camera - shaking your head as they continued, “he’s normally at your place after school. Maybe he’s just too shy to…” and then you’d all be laughing, because Miya Atsumu was anything but shy.
His focus in this dance depends on the time of day, but you pretended it was fine. You had other things to worry about too. Maybe not as cool as volleyball, but important nonetheless.
Your own friends, own studies, own activities. Yes! You thought, though this shouldn’t have been a big revelation. I don’t need him, I can do my own things.
And then…
Like that every day internal struggle never occurred, he’d be back by your side halfway through the walk from school.
Because you always subconsciously waited for him.
You decide - with confidence you’d have to search for again later - that today would be the day that you’d confess your feelings to him.
This dance would no longer be something simple, something childish - if you were honest. It would be something mature, something with power and grace that could warm the hearts of everyone that merely glanced in your direction. Yes, this dance could be… a pas de deux.
Confidence was your name for all of five minutes.
You opened the gym doors, ready to get burnt and blinded, the suffocation of his atmosphere meant nothing to you. Not right now. Because you were a woman with a goal. With power. With meaning.
You searched for the blonde, not that it was difficult, but your eyes - for reasons you don’t know - didn’t collide with his.
Suna Rintarou.
Your eyes met his first.
And, for the first time ever, your eyes shifted away from Atsumu’s figure and this little dance of yours.
———
You aren’t a clumsy dancer.
Atsumu knew this.
You knew their little routine by heart.
You’d wait in the library after school until he texted you that volleyball was done, then wait by the tree that was perfectly halfway to your house. It was something you’d done religiously for many years - though some places differed between middle school and high school.
But since you met Suna’s eyes, it seems like you can’t get anything in your dance right.
You stood on his foot for the first time in years when you waited in the completely wrong spot for him.
Slipped a hand from his shoulder when you forgot to check the forecast and bring a spare umbrella for him.
Completely dropped your grasp when you went home straight after school.
“What is up with you lately?” He asked, almost worried, like you could have been sick. And maybe you were, in a sense, though you’d have to argue that you were more sick of him.
“Nothing,” you blatantly lied, “school is just… you know.” It was a lame excuse, but what exactly could you tell him? That you might have feelings for his teammate?
Ha.
That would be funny, you could almost picture his expression, especially since you were his little secret. Even Osamu didn’t have a hook in you.
So you’d do what any little smitten vixen would, and lied to the one boy who’d meant something to you. “You know,” a quick change of subject, subtle so he won’t question anymore, “my mom got me the new mario kart and switch.”
“Oh, it’s on.” He grinned, and you managed to pretend you were dancing for him now.
With little lies like that, you managed to keep his worries at bay.
But your head in the clouds didn’t mean you’d forgotten about your studies. You had big things you were working towards, no one could stop that, no matter how small they seemed to your dance partner.
The thing was, you didn’t see the fruits of your efforts sprouting until they landed in the palms of your hands. “- that’s what we think, do you have any objections?” Your home room teacher said, looking at you proudly.
“I-I’m sorry, could you repeat that?” You stuttered lightly, to which she chuckled and nodded.
“We think, considering how much your grades have improved, that we should try moving you up to class one.” And there it was. The delicious fruits of your labour. God, you wish you could savour this flavour more, but they needed an answer, and you were more than willing to give!
“Yes!”
You were floating. Glowing and radiant all at once. Nothing can stop you.
You pick up the pace in this dance and twirl you both around, “hey Atsumu!” You greeted him at school, smiling so brightly that for a second he was blinded. He was with Osamu and Suna - but you’d only realise that later, “guess what just happened.” A sing-song voice so pitch perfect pulled from your own throat and shocked you somehow.
His face was covered with a mix of shock and disgust, not that you cared right now, because you should be allowed in the spotlight sometimes too.
Does he not understand that?
Your dance was pulled to an immediate halt.
A standoff between the two of you.
The way he looked at you… God, it should have hurt more than it did. But it didn’t, so you continued. “Wow, aren’t you a supportive friend?” Sarcasm filled your tone, but that didn’t stop you from glowing. You were on a high and no one could drag you down.
“What are you doing?” He asked you in a slightly aggressive hushed tone that you could only counter with a scowl. This always happened when you were kids. But you weren’t kids anymore. There wasn’t any excuse. Deep down, you knew that, but you couldn’t find it in your heart to care.
“Oh, right, sorry. I almost forgot my place.” You heard a sharp intake somewhere to your left. “But since I almost forgot it, I realised I don’t much like it. I’m not a toy you can play with when you want. I’m a person, I have feelings. I have a life beyond you, not that you would know anything about tha-”
“Hey! That isn’t true. I know plenty about you.” Atsumu tried to counter, but you knew you had him in a corner, and so did he.
“Really?” You questioned, brow perfectly quirked. “Then tell me, Miya, tell me one true thing about me: what have I been working towards for the past few months?”
And there it was. A pause you knew was coming, one that was long and uncomfortable. One that fills you with a passion for hatred that consumes you.
It wasn’t surprising. He didn’t know you. He never cared about you. Honestly, you were dumb to think he did.
You scoffed, stepping away from him. “I should have known. I did know. Guess I just wanted to believe it was true, that you cared about me as much as I cared about you.” Deep in his eyes looked heart broken, you could see that. “But I don’t need that. I deserve better than that.”
When you turned away from him, you pulled away from the dance, leaving him watching you as you started to dance by yourself for the first time.
———
Every victory is bittersweet.
The bitterness was that you no longer had someone to completely thrash at Mario Kart, and that your mom would question where that sweet Miya disappeared off to.
The sweetness was that you rarely had to see him. You were now in Class 1. Your dreams and aspirations slowly come true and you can almost taste it.
The future you have is coming over the horizon.
But, for a second, it pauses.
Across the dance floor, you meet eyes with Suna Rintarou as he watches you spin and dance. You watch him take a step forward, his feet touching the same ground as you as he sways playfully around you.
“Hey.” Suna was seated on the opposite end of the room as you, but he’d taken the time to come and approach you. If that wasn’t beautiful, you didn’t know what was.
“Hi.” Your little crush flickered back to life as you got to finally speak to him.
“L/N, right? Atsumu’s friend?” He said, and you couldn’t help but scowl.
“I am L/N, that much is true, but I am not Miya’s friend.”
He pulled up a chair next to you, “he told me about you. Something about how you’d known each other forever. I don’t know. I just thought it was cool how you stood up to him.” Suna said, your breath hitched in your throat.
“Uh, thanks?” The little laugh that escapes is far too close to cutesy that you can only imagine how painstakingly obvious your crush is.
“Yeah,” he looked away, how you wished he didn’t, his eyes were captivating, “hey, I was thinking-”
Sneakily, he’d danced up to you, you didn’t even know when, but suddenly he was beside you; his hand reached out for yours-
“-maybe, you’d wanna hang out after school?”
-and suddenly, you were dancing all over again.
“Yes.” You replied, breathy and nervous. “I would like that.”
“Cool.” He met your eyes. “I would too.”
———
Suna Rintarou doesn’t just sway.
Despite how it may seem, when he dances, he puts all his effort into it. He twirls and lifts you, dipping you carefully underneath the crystal ball, in tune - maybe even a little slower pace, as if he hoped it wouldn’t ever end - and when you were too dizzy, he’d slow down, letting you lead the pace.
Of course, you twirled him, too. Though they never went nearly as gracefully as he did, though that was because you were so much shorter (still, he bent down under your arm and chuckled along).
You felt lucky, loved, and appreciated.
Except when he’d beat you at Mario Kart, but you could forgive him when he sends you a gift on your Animal Crossing.
“Are you two dating?” Your friends ask, and you can only sigh weakly in the best of ways.
They all knew your response, and they were all so happy for you.
Dancing with Suna, was everything you’d ever dreamt.
A pas de deux.

Books I Haven’t Read/Finished Yet But I Want To
Hello again! 
From my last post about animal book recs, I noticed a LOT of people mentioning other books I missed. In that post, I included books/series I’ve already read, and the suggestions you guys have given sound awesome and I can’t wait to read/finish them!
In the same vein, I wanted to share some books/series that I’m either currently reading or want to read and why I’m excited.
1. Guardians of GaHoole/Wolves of The Beyond/Bears of the Ice - Kathryn Lasky
Tumblr media
A lot of you suggested Guardians and TRUST ME, I’m right on the same page! I actually own the entire series and a few one-shots I have yet to read. The thing is, I am an INSANELY SLOW reader. I have a bit of dyslexia and ADHD so reading is actually pretty hard at times, even for books so short. I usually listen to audiobooks because it gives me the freedom to occupy my hands while “reading” (also helps pass the time while I work/drive). GoG only has the first 3 or 4 books on audio, so it’s been a while working through all 15. I’m on “Exile” right now so I’m aaaaaalmost there! 
There are, however, audiobooks for Wolves of the Beyond and Bears of The Ice, so I’m mostly caught up there. I recently cancelled my Audible subscription for money reasons so I’ve had to drop WotB until I can get it from my library. 
I really REALLY encourage you guys to read the two spin-offs of GoG if you haven’t. I feel like those two series get forgotten because GoG is “over”, but these series actually continue the series in a way, albeit peripherally. And they’re just as good! I love all three series a lot and I’ll definitely come back here after I’ve FINALLY finished GoG.
 2. Swordbird - Nancy Yi Fan 
Tumblr media
I don’t see a lot of hype for this series and honestly there should be! Nancy Yi Fan was the youngest published author, 14, at the time of Swordbird’s publishing. So far, it’s Redwall with birds, and I’m loving it! I love birds very much, and I’m excited to see where this goes!
This book is important to me because I remember reading about Nancy Yi Fan and her accomplishments when I was about 11 and wanting to be just like her. Not to get too dramatic, but I’ve struggled with writing/grammar for a long time (again, Dyslexia and ADHD) and was told by a particularly awful teacher that I’d never write anything of value. Nancy Y Fan’s accomplishments made me feel otherwise and I really think she was the start of me working past my disabilities to write stories. I still write as an adult and I’m hoping to be published someday, and I’ll always think back to Swordbird. 
It’s a shame I haven’t read it yet. It was never in any libraries and I only just recently learned it was on Kindle and I was really excited! Life gets in the way, but I really am trying to read it. I hope Yi Fan is still writing and it would be really cool to meet her one day and thank her. 
3. The Wild Road - Gabriel King
Tumblr media
Oh, look! More cats! After Tailchaser’s Song I was itching for more Warriors-esque books, and I’ve been told The Wild Road fits the bill! Also, Richard Adams liked it, so I have high hopes. 
I had to buy this book also because no libraries had it again. It’s really a shame, but what can you do. I get kind of hesitant to buy books I haven’t read at all because I’ve been duped before by what I thought was a good book. Also, Im poor. 
Anyway, so far I like this one! It’s a series so I hope it holds up as it goes. 
4. Catamount - Micheal Peak
Tumblr media
Another unusual animal protag book! Sadly, I don’t own this one or seen it in a library. It’s been sitting in my Goodreads list for sometime, but I’m excited to find it! It gives me The Rescuers: Down Under vibe for some reason, its probably the eagle. 
5. Dragon of the Lost Sea - Laurence Yep 
Tumblr media
Oh boy, I’m gonna get passionate again. 
Lemme preface this by saying I have read this book, but only NOW did I learn that it’s part of a series.
Look, EVERYONE knows Laurence Yep. He’s a prolific author. You probably had to read a work of his in school. Which is why its breaks my heart to know that this book series not ONLY has no audiobook or even e-book exists, but physical copies are REALLY hard to find. I recently tracked down one on Amazon and they were out of stock. 
I wasn’t even sure that I didn’t dream this book up for YEARS. When I was in middle school, I remember picking this book up in my school’s media center. That is the ONLY place I’ve EVER seen this book in person. I fucking loved this book. After a while, though, I forgot the title and for a bit I thought I had just made it up. This series is almost NEVER mentioned when looking up Laurence Yep, and this book is awesome! 
So, wish me luck tracking down the rest of this series, its kind of become my life’s work, ngl. I’ve considered calling up my old middle school to see if I can buy their copy off them. 
6. The Named - Clare Bell
Tumblr media
Shout out to @climbdraws​ for reminding me that this series existed! If you haven’t seen their fan art for the series, go check it out! 
I swear I saw this in a Borders years ago, forgot the name, and had a mindblowing epiphany when Climb mentioned it some 6-ish years later. 
If you guys don’t know, I like prehistoric creatures A LOT. The Named, I think, is about prehistoric Cheetahs or some similar cat. I recently bought the first book and I’m really looking forward to it! 
7. Silverhair - Stephen Baxter
Tumblr media
More prehistoric animals! Also another book that I haven’t found yet. It’s always out of stock when I check Amazon (as of writing I just learned that this is at my local library but I’m moving to another state in less than a week so SHIT). 
8. Song of The Summer King - Jess E. Owen
Tumblr media
Y’know what I love more than prehistoric animals? GRIFFINS! Oooooh, do I love griffins! I literally cannot tell you how much I WISH there were more griffin books. Dragons are great, but they need to take a rest and let Griffins have the spotlight for a bit (I’m also writing a book about Griffins hint hint hint). 
I have this one on Kindle and I’m working through it. It’s a series too, so hooray! 
That’s all I got so far. I’m always open to suggestions, it’ll just take me a long ass time to read them.

i was tagged by @katarahairloopies!!! thank u :mwah:
name: leo! @/zeitgeistofnow on ao3, @lazypigeon & @timetohope on here, altho i’m considering uh switching back to not having an art blog :/ i have to think abt it.
fandom(s): ace attorney is my main one rn bc i’m replaying the games with a friend of mine and it’s reminding me how invested i am in the characters!! a lot of my recent fic is atla stuff, altho i’ve been distancing myself from the fandom bc i’ve kinda exhausted my interest in it. finally i’ve been reading a lot of mp100 fic but i don’t think i’ll ever write for it. i just love how dumb all the characters r (with the dubious exception of ritsu)
where you post: ao3!! tbh i always get suprised when people say they write/read fic on any other platform like i haven’t messed around w wattpad or ff.net since middle school... catch up........
most popular oneshot: going just by “one chapter” as the definition of a oneshot, the firestarters, bc it’s fluffy and modern au :) i wouldn’t necessarily call it a oneshot tho bc to me a oneshot shows like, one scene? so like by my definition and your sweet sweet sun makes me crazy (i wanna lay you down and see how you amaze me is my most popular!! (also @ kit u thought UR fic titles were unnecessarily long??? i’ve hit the ao3 LIMIT for characters in titles. it’s about the aesthetic
most popular multichapter fic: sdkjflakjlkj it’s two crowned kings; and one that stood alone, which is a w359 fic i wrote back in late 2017. it’s literally the last fic i haven’t orphaned from when i actually wrote podcast fic (i have 4 other podcast fics but they were all borne out of nostalgia and written after i stopped participating in the fandom). i rewrote all but the last chapter? the last two? about a year ago and i fucked up halfway through so like chapter 6 and 7 are repeated and there’s something missing but i’m too lazy to fix it. no one’s going to read it now anyway :) it WAS the top minlace fic for a little while tho which i take great pride in.
favorite story you’ve written so far: oh that’s a hard question akfsldkfj i honestly like most of them!! and i write a LOT so there’s a lot to choose from. tonight, we are young is def one of my favorites- it was fun to write and i got to explore the ways zuko and yue r similar, which i LOVE to do outside of a zukka/yukka view. you can lean on my arm as you break my heart  is one that i’m really proud of? the whole “cooking as an expression of bato’s love” is definitely some of my favorites. a lot of my ace attorney fics would be categoried as my favorites if i hadn’t improved, too, if that makes sense. like they’re no long my favorites because i can see where my writing is shitty and it bothers me, but if i had written them a month ago they’d be my favorite.
fic you were nervous to post: figures 1-5: killing gods def!! it’s a lot more purple-prose-y than most of my fics and it was also written before i’d kinda like emersed myself in the atla fandom so i didn’t have as good a grasp on the general understanding of zuko’s character as i do now. tbh it’s one i’m rly happy w tho!! i have a few people leave really nice comments on it and rereading them makes me really happy. also it was the start of me hating the position of fire lord and being at least passively anti-it in my fics.
how you choose your titles: they’re almost all song lyrics!! only 14 of my 50 words AREN’T song lyrics and about half of those are from before i started writing ace attorney fic lol. sometimes i go into a fic with a song in mind for the vibes and then i usually go with lyrics from that (like in ‘cuz we’re the greatest /they’ll hang us in the louvre), but otherwise i usually pick an artist i’ve been listening to and go through their songs until i find a lyric that fits. sometimes the lyric doesn’t even really fit the fic and i just chose it at random or because i searching up the word “fly” in my spotify library or whatever. honestly i like coming up with titles? i know a lot of fic writers hate it but being able to just use song lyrics is v soothing for me and while i know that most people won’t search out a song just bc it’s a fic title like.. seeing that the title of a fic is a hozier lyric does affect how i read it and i kinda like that.
do you outline? i outline my long form/multichaptered fics with varying strictness. usually anything over ~8k will have some kind of outline. sometimes i go into it with every single scene planned out, sometimes it’s just notes on the side of the google doc that say “it's about MORE family. about how it's not betraying your existing family to find more” and “scenes i want to include: [...]” and “vampires... ngl kinda hot.” i’m trying to outline super strictly less bc i’ve found it’s less fun? but i do try to keep a plot arc in mind. since most of my fics are more character-driven than plot-driven, that usually just means keeping track of what character development i want to happen or what is motiviating the characters. 
complete: um everything posted on ao3 i guess. also the MULTITUDE of orphaned fics out there asksfjldkj i always click ‘leave my pseud on’ so if u look up my username you see all of my fics and then a. lot of other ones.
in progress: - a fic titled ‘dad phoenix’ that is actually just a no DL-6 au with defense attorney miles edgeworth and single dad bartender phoenix where neither of them want to date for A While but phoenix gets wrapped up in one of miles’s cases. it’s about family. it’s about writing teenagers. it’s about the background franmaya which is ALWAYS what i’m here for in wrightworth fics - a franmaya werewolf/vampire au because i’m ~gay~ and love rivals to lovers and also franziska and maya both being angry their older brothers r dating each other. - my secret santa fic!! which i can’t talk about much but it does feature toph and zuko and also piandao and jeong jeong???? idk where they came from but they are Part Of The Fic Now also i forgot iroh existed for half the fic and wrote piandao as zuko’s father figure and now i’m in too deep. - a 5+1 bakoda fic (maybe a bato/hakoda/kay fic??? i need to decide. that’s part of why this fic is still incomplete bc i can’t decide which relationship dynamic i prefer) that’s 5 times bato said he loves hakoda and one time hakoda said it back. possibly i have already written him saying i love u back and i need to change the title a little. - retail au klapollo where klavier works at an overpriced boutique and apollo comes in to buy earrings for nahyuta’s birthday. klavier gives him a punch card (one that the store doesn’t actually offer anymore as a bid to get apollo to come back) and all of apollo’s family come in to use the punch card and also give klavier variations on the shovel talk/find out if he’s actually into apollo. - a LOT of atla fics that i don’t think i’ll ever finish :(
coming soon/not yet started:  - i want to write some blackmadhi bc they’re.. cute..... and it’s a good excuse to also write athena and i love her - my stuff for yueki week!!! i have NOT prepped enough but hopefully i’ll remember in time! i wrote the prompts in a way that kinda set up stuff i’ve already wanted to write (don’t look at me lol) so hopefully i’ll get at least two or three fics finished in time. - i want to rewrite the wrightworth fic i have about them not getting married bc it was interesting and i like what i wrote about but i think i could have written it better and made it more interesting. rewriting fics is hard tho bc i’m never sure if it makes sense to just edit in the new work or to repost it? and then if u repost it do u delete the old one? conflicting so i might just not
do you accept prompts? totally!!! a disclaimer tho i’m not super into writing atla stuff anymore (most of the atla stuff i’m still writing is  something i made a commitment to finish) so if your prompt is an atla one i probably won’t do it :/ basically anything else is fair game tho!! podcasts/aa/sa/uh i don’t remember anything else but like if you search a fandom on my blog and come up with more than two posts about it chances r i’d be happy to write fic for it!
upcoming work that you’re most excited about: oh huh i mean probably the no dl-6 au!!! it’s the longest ace attorney fic i’ve written already and since it’s wrightworth it’ll get more attention than any franmaya fic i write. my standards r so high now tho after getting to much feedback from atla fans... love u all... obviously i have no choice but to pressure my atla mutuals into playing ace attorney. pls ask abt it bc i WIll Give You A Sales Pitch about why you’d like it in relation to atla
tagging: i’m not rly tagging anyone!!! @deadflora if you still consider urself a fic writer also consider urself tagged! also any of my other mutuals who write fic i just can’t think of anyone rn

Okie I was tagged to answer these questions a thousand years ago but I was busy/forgot... But better late than never. I might have missed someone’s questions so sorry if I did. Here we go. (This has answers to 4 people’s questions so I’m putting it under the cut.)
@kittykatz009 ‘s questions: 1. What is your favorite color? Turquoise!
2. Do you have any pets? Not atm, we used to have a dog.
3. What is your favorite anime? (With varying tones) Fullmetal Alchemist.
4. Are there any movies you are excited for this year? Frozen 2? I really want to see Ralph Breaks the Internet at some point too because I haven’t gotten a chance to do it yet. (Yes, I’m excited for disney movies.)
5. What is your dream profession? Honestly my REAL dream would be create things I love (draw or write) but I am never gonna get paid for that so... meanwhile, a librarian is a p neat job.
6. Favorite food? (Homemade) pizza.
7. Describe your home town’s aesthetic: lots of forests, fields and water. And snow.
8. Do you have any current WIPs? LCMTI ch 23 & giveaway fic 2. (so sorry for being so slow with them)
9. What was the anime that got you into anime? I was going to say FMA but then I remembered it’s not true because actually, it’s Pokémon. If my pokemon fan friend hadn’t recced fma to me, I probably wouldn’t have started watching it.
10. Do you have any collections? 
All FMA manga volumes? That totally counts, right :D (I do have some fan merch too)
11. What degree do you have/are working towards?
Librarian ^ I also have a bachelor’s degree on Nordic languages. Crazy, huh.
@theothardus ‘s questions:
1. What is your first memory?
I have no idea... I have some v vague memories of playing with my childhood friends while listening to Titi-Nalle (only Finns know) at the kindergarten.
2. What do you see yourself doing next year?
I /hope/ I’m working (at a library) then... Pls pls pls someone hire me.
3. What type of person are you attracted to? Physically? Personality-wise?
That is honestly so complicated a question I’m not sure I can answer. Well, clearly these golden haired golden eyed dudes who are kinda broody but soft inside get to me...
4. Would you go to outer space? Why or why not?
It would be kinda scary. I’m so torn because it would be cool but I would also freak out probably. 
5. City or countryside? Why?
Countryside bc I’m too used to it...
6. Your last meal if you were on death row?
Creepy... but probably still pizza (and chocolate thank u v much)
7. Clothes/makeup/anything that makes you feel super confident?
Sorry for my pessimism but nothing makes me feel super confident :’D
8. What foreign country would you most like to visit?
I would totally love to go back to UK one day but... there are also so many other places I’d like to visit... f. ex. where my tumblr friends live...
9. A thing that can make you immediately feel nostalgic? (Could be an object, a show, a song, et cetera)
A lot of songs do that to me, for example pokemon first season music...
10. What age would you want to stay forever and why?
Tbh I would gladly go back to 18-19 before I had to decide what to do with my life. It was a good time because there was a lot I could already do at that age but I didn’t have to worry about a lot of adult issues (such as money) quite yet because I still lived at home.
11. If you could travel into the fictional world of your favorite series (TV/manga/movie/etc), what would you do there?
Maybe the Harry Potter world, and I don’t know? Hopefully study all kinds of cool stuff.
@criis55 ‘s questions:
