okay so it’s not my business and i guess i get it for newcomers to this site to see a name and assume it’s the actual celebrity but it always makes me laugh when i see those types of asks 🤣 anyways

hello again winnie! so about universal studios yes it is a theme park but it has backlots and sets where shows are filmed so it has two types of tours. one comes with the park (the studio tour) where it takes you around the backlot and you see different sets where movies were filmed like back to the future and it doubles as two rides with king kong and fast&furious. one of the best things about the park tbh. the one that costs extra is the vip tour and they walk you around the park and take you to warehouses where set pieces are kept and you don’t have to wait in the lines as much. if you ever go i’d recommend going during halloween just because they do extra but either way the food is good and makes it worth the price. i used to work there and i may have access to some leftover tickets if you’re interested!

&yes! it is so good i’m only on s3 but castle and casket have me in a chokehold. though now i wish i had watched aos since you seem to like it more 😅 so please lmk!

well now i’m jealous i wanted to play the violin and yes i play the flute and saxophone. also want to learn how to play the harp. i love the sound, like it seems so calming. so you’ve done recitals? did you enjoy them? sorry to hear that you were forced to play instruments you never wanted to but i have to admit that i laughed at the side comment 😆

i try to listen to a bit of everything but mainly r&b and pop. i like rock music and i’ve been getting into classical too. it makes nice background noise when i’m making edits.

what about sports? and movies? what are your favorite foods and are you looking forward to the upcoming holidays?

Hi there 👋 it's funny to see there's actually newcomers and people are trying to figure out how the site works. But actually we don't know how this shit works half the time because it's not actually functioning most of the time 🤣

That sounds amazing 😍 I'll be sure to visit next time I'm in the area. I've always wonder what it's like to work in a theme park, I've seen so many people working over at Disneyland during the summers in uni. But I just didn't think I'm right for the job, can't stand the heat/ sun and generally not a cheery person. But people seems to have lots of fun. Just wondering though, do your tickets have expiry dates 😅

Omg now that you're on s3, can we talk about the s2 finale?!!!!! It always had me in tears 😭😭😭😭 they could've been together right then & there. I mean I get it, they're kinda the main couple, so the writers had to drag out their relationship for multiple seasons to come. But still talk about bad timing 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 also, s2 is probably one of my fav, especially the 2 episodes case tick tick tick & boom 😍 there're gonna be some iconic scenes in s3, not gonna spoil it for you.

Do I like aos more than castle?! I don't think so. I just happened to be obsessing with AoS when I started giffing and I guess I got too comfortable, like I know the scenes, which ones work well with each other etc. Castle will always have a special place in my heart, and Kate Beckett is my first on screen idol, like nothing will quite live up to your first love. But aos did come close. Personally I was already really interested in this kind of black ops operation in the marvel movies and wished they had more screen time, and marvel turning it into a TV show is basically a dream come true. I just love Melinda May since ep 1, and has been relating to her since ep 2, and I don't think I've ever related to a character this much. Like female badasses are often written as cold and closed off with the excuse of a traumatic experience, and there's little depths to their characters, either because it's a movie or a series that didn't survive long enough for character devInnelopment. But with May, sure the tropes applied, but even early on you can see that she has a heart and that she cares very deeply. And that she smiles and play jokes secretly. Her whole quiet, stoic personality wasn't necessarily the outcome of the trauma, but more so just who she is, and it just felt very natural and genuine to me and I relate soooo much, and I guess her being Chinese helped with that too. Like it was from that moment I understand how important diversity and representation are to so many people.

This got kinda long, but you got me into talking about castle & aos so it's bound to happen. I would highly recommend aos if you like sci-fi & marvel. They had more tie-ins with the movies in s1-s3, but honestly the show got better when they kinda diverged from it and did their own thing. The writing is pretty mind blowing, and the fight scenes & cgi got better each season. It's ridiculous the amount of stuff they did in the timeframe they had. My personal favs are s1 & s4, s1 mostly for nostalgia and it was the world/ characters building season, s4 (maybe ep 9 forward) was simply phenomenal. S5 was mind blowing you'll probably have to watch it twice to understand everything 😅

Harp is such a beautiful instrument, but it's like huge and expensive. Where I live, very few people's apartments are big enough to store that. So it's a very rich people kind of instrument to us. And I have only listened to it in a handful of occasions. But I know more kids are learning it these days, because apparently piano is too basic 😒 The only recitals I've done are in competitions and exams and idk if it counts, and those are really stressful. But I do enjoy playing the piano in front of (non-judgy) friends & families where we just basically chill, usually people I play in front of know how to play it too so they wouldn't care if there's a slip or it's not perfect etc. It's more so sharing what pieces we were playing at the moment.

I would say violin could be way more complicated, but idk how it compares to playing the flute because I know it is hard to play the flute well too. But I think it wouldn't hurt to take some lessons and see if you like it or not.

I'm not really into sports, but I do like swimming and it's pretty much the only thing I did as a kid. I just love being in the water, it's so calming & cooling. Just the pools though, preferably indoors, the beach really isn't for me. I've always wanted to learn Kung Fu was a kid, like I can feel it in my blood, but my parents only made my younger brother who doesn't want to learn it to go to taekwondo lessons, and don't allow me to go. As a kid, I thought because it's not ladylike, but I found out years and years later it's because my parents saw that I was so good at it and I often fight with my brother (because he's an a**hole as a kid) and there's pretty much no fighting chance for my brother, so my parents wanted to equip him with some fighting skills. But jokes on them, he hates it and drops it after a couple lessons and I kinda resented them for that. It wasn't until in my early 20s that my dad suggested we take some lessons from a Thai boxing coach that his colleagues recommended, because I gained quite some weight after my weight loss rebound. My whole family went for the first couple of lessons, and the coach straight up asked if I have learnt wing chun (another type of Kung Fu) before because I punch like that style, and I said no I've never had any lessons, then I turned to my mum and said now you see how you've wasted a Kung Fu talent (kidding not kidding). I need to work on my cardio but I would say my instincts are pretty good, even more so as a kid, it got "duller" overtime because I often being called "over reactive" to stimuli (like getting hit/ touch accidentally by people/ objects).

I'm more of a TV show kind of person, especially those 20+ eps per season like how it used to be. There's more room for character development and more things for me to obsess over. Good movies are like a nice treat, but I watched it and moved on. Some of my favourite series are hp, Narnia, marvel, basically the ones I grew up with.

Favourite foods: Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Italian, French (mostly pastries & desserts)

We don't do much for Christmas but I've always loved my mum's gingerbreads. I used to look forward to Starbuck's peppermint mocha, but it has kinda been discontinued here for years. I actually went to a Starbucks while travelling in the states just to get peppermint mocha 🤣 I do love peppermint, in tea, sweets, chocolate, etc.

The bigger holiday we celebrate is actually Chinese new year a month later. My mum always makes all these traditional foods and snacks and they're so delicious, store bought ones, even the fanciest ones can't compare (especially the first 2 pics). It's like a lot of work. I'll just put in some pics for you in case you have no idea what I'm talking about 😅

And then there're ones that we just buy from the store.

Basically a lot of fried food 😅

I always say I don't talk much, but when asked the right questions I blab on and on about it, hope you don't mind.

Merry Christmas! 🎄

[calkestis]

happy last message from your psc secret santa!! this means your gift will be coming very soon :) hope you're having a great holiday season!! my final question is: what is one of your favorite things to do during the holidays/new year?

ohh i’m gonna miss the asks 🥺 (but i am excited for the gift andjsja). it’s nothing special but i love staying in my living room in the evening, with a mug of mulled wine in my hand, next to the christmas tree, like the little hermit i am

wishing you a wonderful holiday season as well! 🥰💛

[junousher]

hello hello !! i hope you've been well :) my gift has been going ... a little slower than hoped but i will absolutely get it to u by the 31st do not worry :)) just a few questions now that i've hammered out what i plan to do:

do you have any headcanons for tahani/eleanor or popular fan theories you like?

any songs you associate with tahani/eleanor?

is there a particular scene of them (or scenes!) you really feel like captures tahani and eleanor's dynamics perfectly?

many warm wishes!!

~ psc anon

no worries! either way i am sure it will be amazing!

ooh i never really thought about that. i am not really up to date on headcanons or fan theories in general haha. i am not that creative to come up with that stuff lol

ooh that is a good question. i am bad at making playlists, i am more of a "one artist at a time" person so i dont really keep lists. i am sure i have some i associate with them but until i hear it, i cant really name it haha. i am so bad at these questions, i am so sorry xD i found a spotify playlist and a few from that list that popped out to me are - true love by p!nk feat lily allen, suddenly i see by kt tunstall, gorgeous by taylor swift and heaven by pvris

hmm i love the scene were eleanor is braiding tahani's hair haha. i mean i love all their banter and each scene is so special in their own way. they can be themselves with each other and i find that special

i know these answers probably don't help, but you gave me some good things to think about

[spiderdevils]

ho, ho, ho! i'm really curious: if matt murdock was a song, which one do you think he'd be? 👀 wishing you a great week!! - psc secret santa 🎅

omggg this is such a good question! i’d have to say church by chase atlantic bc as soon as i heard it i immediately made my daredevil playlist 😭

close runner ups would be call me devil - friends in tokyo or just one yesterday - fall out boy

[lemoncupcake]

that's so cute!! and your christmas sounds so nice :D we also have dinner with family (grandma, aunts & uncles, etc) on the 24th and then on the 25th we go to my grandma on my dad's side of the family and have dinner again :))

what are your favorite taylor swift lyrics? (i forgot to say last time by the way, but 'right where you left me' being your no 1 song is so valid!!) do you associate any songs with characters or ships?

and who are your current blorbos?

x - secret santa

yours sounds nice too! we have very similar christmases haha

oh damn. that's a hard question. so, all of right where you left me, as you can imagine (and good for you for having good enough taste to realise it's Very Valid lol). it's not only my fave taylor swift song rn, but also my fave song point blank. i can't even tell you why i like it so much, i just do. like, the whole song just tickles something in my brain, i can't explain. some other taylor swift lyrics i like, under the cut bc i have no moderation:

"i knew you / leavin' like a father / running like water"; "how long will it be cute, all this cryin' in my room? / when you can't blame it on my youth / and roll your eyes with affection"; "salt streams out my eyes and into my ears / every single thing i touch becomes sick with sadness / 'cause it's all over now, all out to sea"; "oh, goddamn / my pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand / taking mine, but it's been promised to another"; "i'd kiss you as the lights went out / swaying as the room burned down / i'd hold you as the water rushes in"; "the drought was the very worst / when the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst"; "who could ever leave me, darling / but who could stay?"; "and you can't see me wanting you the way you want her / but you are everything to me"; "and it took you five whole minutes / to pack us up and leave me with it / holdin' all this love out here in the hall"; "could've loved you all my life if you hadn't lеft me waiting in the cold".

i do associate some songs with specific characters or ships, but the great thing about me (sarcastic btw) is that even when a song i'm obsessed with doesn't line up with any characters or ships, i just make up au fics to think about that fit those songs! lol anyways, here are songs that actually fit imo, even without me having to think up aus: olicity + dancing with your ghost by sasha sloan, olicity + i think he knows by taylor swift, olicity + the other side by ruelle, olicity + wildest dreams by taylor swift, oliver + i'll be good by jaymes young, malec + i get to love you by ruelle, izzy + soldier by fleurie, shirbert + invisible string by taylor swift, delena + in my veins by andrew belle, brio + you know me too well by nothing but thieves, brio + love and war by fleurie, kanthony + let it all go by birdy & rhodes.

my current blorbos: felicity smoak from arrow, alec & izzy lightwood from shadowhunters, kate sharma from bridgerton, beth boland from good girls. other characters i love from other shows, in case you don’t like any of my blorbos (i don’t get why you wouldn’t, but ya know, some people don’t have taste lol): amy santiago from b99, rebecca welton from ted lasso, eleanor shellstrop from tgp, alina starkov from sab, anne shirley from anne, annie edison from community, lorelai gilmore from gilmore girls, kate bishop from hawkeye.

[castlecrumblings]

Hello, psc secret santa here 🎅 You have chef kiss Taylor taste omg. Red is definitely in the top tier for me! I was wondering, do you have any notps from your fandoms you listed (particularly BBC Merlin, Disney, Anne with an E, and Jane Austen movies)? And what about favorite characters? Just to make sure I don't do something you wouldn't like hehe. Have a good day Shale, I'm sending you lots of positive vibes! 🎄😊

I ship Merthur platonically, i'm more of an arthur/gwen gal myself. For the most part i don't have any notps 😜 (except lizzie/wickham. yuck) Anything you create i will love!

[sheppardsmckay]

[jakeperalta]

[rhaenyratargaryns]

Hi Hella! It's your PSC secret anon again ❄️ I'm so sorry for how MIA I've been, I've been really sick and also busy with the holidays so it's been hard to be online a lot but I promise I'm working on your gift and you'll definitely get it before the 31st!! I just didn't want you to think I'd forgotten about you </3

omg no worries!!! i hope you feel better soon <3

[samanthamulder]

I’m looking forward to whatever you gif honestly but your better call Saul posts are pretty much my favorite ever lol.

also you didn’t sound like a snob at all! I posted a lot and signed up for a lot of challenges and it was a bit overwhelming and stressful and I admire people who can post so much but I definitely understand what you mean. right now I’d rather make a few posts I’m happy with (cause I’m very ocd about them lol) then get overwhelmed and probably end up posting nothing lol.

<33 -psc anon

wait the better call saul comment confuses me sbksjdbsk maybe you are not who I thought you were?! 👀

I'm also super ocd about my gifs :') I'd say I'm a fast worker actually but on the other hand even a super basic set will take me so damn long because I tend to reeeeeally overthink my colouring and I try 13 different options and can't decide which looks best lmao 😭 anyway; less really is more sometimes: here's to posting from the heart! 🤗❤️

P.S. REVEAL YOURSELF I CAN'T LIVE WITH THIS SUSPENSE 🙃

[jenna--ortega]

winnie i am afraid you have given me a new obsession.

-psc secret santa

It's good right?! There's a reason it's been my favourite for all these years. ♥️

[calkestis]
