#that time when she was like 16 and wanted us to do a few hannukah traditions to get in touch w our ashkenazim ancestors

going to other people's houses for dinner is wild because it's such a crapshoot on what kind of culinary experience you're about to have. some places it's just delightful and you feel like you're in that one scene in ratatouille where it's all colourful when he tastes the ingredients. other places it feels like whatever the fuck is on your plate is a close cousin of the pulp they use in paper manufacturing and you wish you had pulled a hillary clinton and smuggled some hot sauce in your bag

1. COKE OR PEPSI: Root Beer 2. DISNEY OR DREAMWORKS: Both 3. COFFEE OR TEA: Not like a die hard coffe drinker but can’t stand tea 4. BOOKS OR MOVIES: Books. I mean I tend to have a hard time focusing on either but there’s something special about books.

5. WINDOWS OR MAC: Windows 6. DC OR MARVEL: DC. Marvel is cool but Batman and The Flash give DC the edge for me. 7. XBOX OR PLAYSTATION: XBOX. REally I’m a die hard PC gamer but I have a 360 so that I can play Halo, which is a favorite of mine. 8. DRAGON AGE OR MASS EFFECT: Mass Effect, but I haven’t played any DA games yet  9. NIGHT OWL OR EARLY RISER: Both and also neither. I stay up late and wake up early and am always tired and never properly functional. 10. CARDS OR CHESS: Cards, more variety and easier portability. 11. CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA: Chocolate 12. VANS OR CONVERSE: Converse. Used to be a fan of Vans back in my Skater wannabe days (Middle School; I never even learned to skate lol) but I just got my first couple pairs of Converse and I love them 13. LAVELLAN, TREVELYAN, CADASH, OR ADAAR: N/A 14. FLUFF OR ANGST: Ooh, uh, it depends on my mood.  15. BEACH OR FOREST: Forest. I’m not a fan of the ocean, and I love trees, especially climable ones.  16. DOGS OR CATS: dogs 17. CLEAR SKIES OR RAIN: If I’ve gotta go outside then clear skies, I hate being rained on. Rain is nice for feeling cozy indoors though.  18. COOKING OR EATING OUT:  19. SPICY OR MILD FOOD: Mild. I’m fairly solid evidence of the White People can’t handle spicy stereotype.

20. HALLOWEEN/SAMHAIN OR SOLSTICE/YULE/CHRISTMAS/HANNUKAH: Hannukah. I’ve never really gotten into Halloween. 21. WOULD YOU RATHER FOREVER BE A LITTLE TOO COLD OR A LITTLE TOO HOT: Cold I think. If it's just a little, I think I can handle it and I’d rather not be sweating all over the place.  22. IF YOU COULD HAVE A SUPERPOWER WHAT WOULD IT BE: Let’s go with flight. My longest standing choice of the three or four I have in mind.  23. ANIMATION OR LIVE ACTION: Animation. 24. PARAGON OR RENEGADE: Paragon. 25. BATH OR SHOWER: Shower tbh. Like, a bath is nice but most bathtubs I have access to don’t work for me, since I’m six feet tall. Also, I take a long time and baths tend to lose their heat while showers are a constant stream of hot water.  26. TEAM CAP OR TEAM IRONMAN: Team Cap. I don’t know the issue super intimately, but my gut says Cap.  27. FANTASY OR SCI-FI: Can’t pick, they’re equally awesome.  28. DO YOU HAVE 3 OR 4 FAVORITE QUOTES IF SO WHAT ARE THEY:

I have many, many favorite quotes but also a horrible memory so I can never remember them so I’ll just stick a few that I enjoy here:

“Rice is the perfect comfort food” - The chef hero in My Hero Academia

“I welcome adversity” - Zenyatta

“If the heroes run and hide, who will stay and fight?” - Saitama

29. YOUTUBE OR NETFLIX: This is an odd question, cause for me they serve unrelated purposes. I use youtube to watch tutorials, listen to music, and watch other non-film materials, while Netflix is specifically for TV-shows/Movies, so idk? I use youtube way more though so that one I guess 30. HARRY POTTER OR PERCY JACKSON: Percy Jackson. Harry Potter was good, but Rick Riordan is a genius and I love all of his books. 32. STAR WARS OR STAR TREK: Star Wars. Star Trek isn’t bad but I haven’t watched a whole lot, and I’ve been deeply invested in Star Wars since childhood.  33. PAPERBACK BOOKS OR HARDCOVER BOOKS: Idk honestly both are good 34. FANTASTIC BEASTS OR CURSED CHILD: I have little to no interest in commercial material related to Harry Potter other than the original 7 books, so neither.  35. ROCK OR POP MUSIC: Rock 36. WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN YOUR LIFE: I don’t honestly know.  37. THE LAST BOOK YOU READ/THE ONE YOU’RE CURRENTLY READING: I think the last book I read was the first Trials of Apollo. 38: SONG THAT MAKES YOU SMILE/SONG THAT MAKES YOU CRY: Baba Yetu has the best track record for making me smile. It’s Quiet Uptown is good at leaving me in tears, provided I have any when I’m listening to it.  39. SUSHI OR WONTON SOUP: SUSHI. I fucking love sushi. So much. Oh my god. 40. SPRING OR AUTUMN: Spring 41. DRAWING OR WRITING: Writing, because I’m better at it. 42. SINGING OR DANCING: Dancing. I’m terrible at both but I can dance in private and no one has to know but singing tends to draw attention. Unless I’m driving then both are good.

43. TV SHOW/MOVIE/BOOK THAT’S LIKE YOUR HAPPY PLACE, SOMETHING THAT ALWAYS MAKES YOU SMILE: The LotR films (as I was reminded of earlier tonight), One Punch Man is oddly therapeutic for me, FMA Brotherhood maybe? 44. FIRST GOOD CHILDHOOD MEMORY THAT POPS INTO YOUR HEAD: My first dog growing up. He was a golden lab named Joshua.

45. If you could be any animal what would you be and why?: Either a dog or a bird. Dogs are wonderful and birds can fly.

46. What’s the best joke you’ve ever heard: 

Frodo: Don’t worry Sam, Rosie knows an idiot when she sees one.

Sam, with a great amount of concern: Does she?

(Ok to be fair I don’t know if that’s the greatest joke I’ve ever heard, but I just watched that so it’s on my mind)

47. Favourite magical element: Lightning, or if that doesn’t count, then Air.
