Rules: Answer the questions and tag 20 blogs you want to get to know better.

♦ Nicknames: ♦ Amish, Joe Frangles, Frojangles, Spencer, and like twenty others but those are too close to my real name to mention so WHOOPS

♦ Star sign: ♦ Cancer

♦ Height: ♦ 6′1′’, 6′2′‘ if you count the poofy hair

♦ Time right now: ♦ 10:36 AM

♦ Last thing you googled: ♦ “st bernard hug” I NEEDED A GIF FOR REASONS

♦ Song stuck in my head: ♦   It’s been hopping around between “Cracked”, “Sing”, and “Ain’t Misbehavin’“, all by Pentatonix. I’ve been listening to that album a lot recently, and the songs there are really growing on me. I hope that they keep doing original songs as well as covers.

♦ Last movie I watched: ♦ The Lego Batman Movie. It was exactly what it said on the tin, and I couldn’t have been happier with it.

♦ Last TV show I watched: ♦ Mythbusters! It’s pretty much the only TV show I regularly watch nowadays. I am bad at TV

♦ What I’m wearing right now: ♦  PAX East t-shirt and robot pajama pants.

♦ When I created this blog: ♦  Mercy. My first post was in 2012, but it’s entirely possible I made my blog the year before that. I originally made this thing so I could more easily follow art blogs, and now look at me.

Remember kids: Don’t do blogs. Not even once.

♦ The kind of stuff I post: ♦ Most of what I do is character-related discussion, either for my own or other folks' characters. Lots of AUs, those are good for character studies. Also short stories that don’t belong on Sandy’s blogs, not to mention giveaways and fanart responses. I want to get more into posting game dev stuff. Expect more of that in the future.

♦ Do I get asks regularly?: ♦ Not very often, no. Most of what I get is when I ask folks for specific questions on things. I’ve tried reblogging memes in the past, but those generally haven’t gotten much response.

♦ Why did I choose my url: ♦ So, a long time ago, when my family was driving my brother to college, we passed through Amish country. Our mom told us how when the Amish want to stop a horse/mule/farm animal, they use “yarr” instead of “woah.” Given that this was the era of Pirate of the Carribean, it wasn’t long before we were imagining horse-drawn galleons, and the rest is history.

♦ Hogwarts House: ♦ Hufflepuff x 10,294,820,548,390,583

♦ Pokémon team: ♦ Current team in Sun: Dolly the Mudsdale, Angel the Arcanine, Nutwing the Decidueye, Waddles the Snorlax, Grunkle Rick the Toxapex, and Snowdrop the Ninetails.

♦ Favorite color(s): ♦ Reds and blues, browns can also be really nice. I really really like the gradients of sunset/sunrise skies and the sun through clouds too.

♦ Average hours of sleep: ♦ If I’m doing my job right, then 8ish. In reality, it tends more towards 6-7. But I’m getting better at it.

♦ Lucky number: ♦ 5

♦ Favorite characters: ♦  This is weird. I’ve never actually put much thought into a question like this. I can definitely pick out some favorite works, and say that the characters were one reason I liked those works, but it’s really hard for me to pick individual characters and say, “Yes, this is one of my favorites.”

Plus, I’m still getting over a cold, which isn’t great for thinking things through. :P

So, to cheat a lot a little bit, here some of my favorite works that I liked because of the characters: Polar Bear Cafe, Gravity Falls, Wreck-It Ralph, Zootopia, 12 Angry Men, LotR, MLP, Owlboy, and many more I can’t think of right now.

♦ Dream job: ♦ Full time game developer/maker of rad stuff

♦ Number of blankets I sleep with: ♦ 3 in the winter, 2 in the transition-y season, and 1 in the summer. I prefer sleeping with big, heavy blankets, but the room has to be pretty cold for that to work out.

As for other blogs...how about @sleepisfornerds and @ponymaker?
