Tag Game To Better Know You! Send this to people you’d like to know better!
Oh, geez, so I’ve never really done one of these before haha but thank you to @draw-a-circle-thats-the-compass for the tag!
What book are you currently reading?
Unfortunately, I haven’t been reading much lately, but I am looking for suggestions! The last thing I read was Pox Americana by Elizabeth A. Fenn. It’s about the smallpox epidemic that hit North America around the time of the American Revolution and its effects, but it simultaneously takes you on a broader look at the impact, such as on Native American populations and the outbreak in Mexico City. Granted, it was for a class but a wonderful read that will make you not only think about history but reflect on the pandemic of today.
What’s your favorite movie that you saw in theatres this year?
…
Top Gun Maverick…I went and saw it three times with three different friend groups.
What do you usually wear?
Ah, well, the winter fit is usually sweatpants of some kind coupled with any random assortment of t-shirts, both short- or long-sleeved, then some kind of hoodie or jacket. I’ve been trying to break in a leather jacket though so that I can paint it! That thing is far comfier than it should be.
How tall are you?
5’ 5” or about 165 cm.
What’s your Star Sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event?
I am a Cancer. I don’t really believe in astrology, but I know far too much about it because of friends. They tell me I am a “classic Cancer,” and I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. And I do! June 21. I share a birthday with Chris Pratt and the U.S. Constitution. It’s also the day the Sox pitcher Rube Foster no-hit the Yankees 2-0 at Fenway in 1916. Make of those what you please.
Do you go by your name or a nick-name?
I go by my nickname Jill, or Grem/Gremlin online. Call me whatever the hell you want though, I’ll reply regardless.
Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child?
I wanted to be so many things as a kid. Astronaut, microbiologist, paleontologist, a whole plethora of other things… As long as it had to do with using my hands for something and getting to learn and sate my obnoxious curiosity, I would be happy. Doing archaeology checks all those boxes, so I can’t be mad! I’m a recent convert to anthropology and I love it. Learning more each day just makes me love how diverse the Earth and its inhabitants are. I’m a filthy optimist, okay?
Are you in a relationship? If not, who is your crush if you have one?
Single and vibing.
What’s something you’re good at vs. something you’re bad at?
I don’t think I’m much good at anything, but I guess I can draw! Would love to be better at writing.
Dogs or cats?
Don’t make me choose.
What’s something you would like to create content for?
To keep it in the scope of Hetalia, I would like to continue the historical fic I started writing centered around the American Revolution, as (early) American history is my secondary study. But I’m not confident in my skills enough to continue it. Forget posting it anywhere. But I had a prologue, first chapter, and second chapter in different states of completion before putting it down.
What’s something you’re currently obsessed with?
Cold War-era armor.
What’s something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year?
My grades. [rimshot and laugh track plays]
What’s a hidden talent of yours?
I don’t think being ADHD-fueled human encyclopedia counts so…I can write with my toes. I can sing and play euphonium, too, I guess! Idk guys fr
Are you religious?
Not particularly. I am a very lazy pagan, at the very least.
What’s something you wish to have at this moment?
All my friends and mutuals with their fine asses right in front of me so that I can give them all ginormous, lung-squeezing, spine-cracking hugs. Y’all need to stop being gorgeous double-cheeked-up baddies on this Tuesday evening.
I’m nominating @sunnysssol @ironicorange @cicadatalia @magictrio1118 @sunnylolli @modernday-jay @abbittheturtle because you are all wonderful and are either close beloveds or super chill!
