#tagging memes

[alectoperdita]

Hi hi. I'm pretty forgetful and almost always blank when it comes to tagging people back. So to make it easier and hopefully welcoming to everyone who wants it, this is the post where you can comment and let me know that you want to be considered for tagging on games and other memes.

Doesn't matter if we're mutuals or not (I'm pretty bad at following back in general so apologies there). Just drop a reply/comment on this post (I'm not counting likes here!) and I'll use the replies here to select tags. You can also let me know if you're a writer to get tagged on writing-specific games.

Also these games are meant to be low-pressure and fun. So if you miss any tags or don't feel up to it or just plain forget, that's perfectly valid.

15 Questions 15 Mutuals

Tagged by @emozionidinchiostro ages ago

1. Are you named after anyone? My dad wanted to give me his little sister's name as a middle name, and I did have it on some early pediatric reports when I was a baby, but it's not on any actual official document, so technically I do not have a middle name, even though my parents convinced me I did. I mentioned my unofficial middle name to some friends at school when I was around 12 or something, and it became my nickname forever. Everyone called me that. The friends I've kept in touch from back then still call me that. Even my mom has me saved under that name on her phone. But it's, like, only 3 people now. // tl;dr: kinda.

2. When was the last time you cried? I can't remember to be honest. This might come as a surprise to you guys but I'm not a big crier. I'm just sad and whiny.

3. Do you have kids? No and I don't want any.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot? I don't think so?

5. What sports do you play/have played? NONE, I suck at sports and have always hated playing them. I mean, I've tried a few but never for any significant amount of time.

6. What's the first thing you notice about people? Whether they're nice/friendly, I guess. If someone is kind to me I will fall in love with them. I love kind people.

7. What's your eye color? Dark brown. I-almost-can't-make-out-your-pupil kind of brown.

8. Scary movies or happy endings? Neither? Happy endings if I have to choose, but I like drama. (I mean, comedy too, big fan. But sometimes you just want to watch a film that makes you think about the human condition and despair, you know?)

9. Any special talents? Misplacing things. Forgetting about events in the recent past. Petting cats.

10. Where were you born? Italy.

11. What are your hobbies? Not doing a lot these days to be honest :( Fannish activities (fanfic writing and the like). I'm in a funky pop-rock choir which I attend semi-regularly. I have attempted to learn Spanish at various points in my life and failed miserably, not always for reasons within my control (I enrolled on a Spanish course organised by the local library a while ago, and the teacher quit after my first term. He had been there for years. But I think the main issue is that after studying Russian for 5 years at uni, I look at Spanish and think, "surely it won't be that hard". And then I just... don't study it. I think I can learn it by osmosis or something, just by virtue of being Italian. Which doesn't fucking work).

12. Do you have pets? Not currently. I had a cat. I shall have one again some day.

13. How tall are you? About 168 cm.

14. Favorite subject in school? Italian Lit always, and in later years (high school) Latin and English Lit. At uni — I think English phonetics & phonology, weirdly enough; also pragmatics and anything related to sociolinguistics.

15. Dream job? Something to do with creative writing, in an ideal world. Or even "just writing", but not the kind that makes me want to kms (don't ask). Copywriter or radio scriptwriter both sound cool.

(ETA: sorry it's not 15 people and it's not even all mutuals, which I think was the point of the game, but *turns around and starts running away*)

Last Line Tag

I was tagged by the lovely @ladyyennefer to post the last lines of a WIP. As always, thank you (and apologies for not posting this sooner)!

Here's a little something I've been working on (in the midst of all the other things I've been working on) where Canute finally gets to see his face on a coin:

In the center was a king, draped in a rich cloak, a crown sitting authoritatively atop his brow. His profile was surrounded by a ring of letters, an unbroken circle of thick, raised capitals.

CNVT REX ANGLORVM

Emma traced her thumb along the words, the indentations smooth, unyielding. The coin was so small, clasped in her fingertips, and yet it contained so much. It spoke of wealth and stability, of dreams conjured into something stable and real, lasting far beyond her life and those of her children, a glittering future made possible by the nearly weightless object she held in her hand.

Tagging @mercurygray, @vikingstrash, and @ulfrsmal, but as always, no pressure!

Out of context wips

Rules: Pick a bunch of your WIPs and summarize them as badly as possible, then ask your followers to vote on which one they'd be most likely to read. Multiple/all/none options are completely optional.

Thanks to @saiikavon for tagging me!

I'll try and do my best to do bad summaries of stuff that hasn't or barely been published before. Some of these are many years old so who knows if they will ever see the light of day.

Tagging @rosalind-hawkins, @unfriendlyamazon, @kaijous, @sushilabs, @bdeblueyes, @leechysmile, @arien-elensar, @heyholmesletsgo, and anyone else who wants to do this. Sorry if you were already tagged previously, my memory is full of holes.

Leave a reply/comment here if you would like to get tagged in future games!

"average cat owner spends 3 years in prison" factoid actualy just statistical error. average owner spends 0 years in prison. Miette's mother, who kicked her body like the football and went to jail for One Thousand Years is an outlier adn should not have been counted
