D E F G H I J K L M N O P, Q R S T U V, W X Y and Z 😇😉. I sung the alphabet while writing this as well 😂. You don’t have to answer all of them though, just pick which ones you want 😊.

🤣🤣🤣

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

My fandom life would be easier if I liked Heathstrid at least a little bit... But I can’t and I don’t really want to, either...

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

The oneshots Spin The Bottle and Pick Me Up.

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?

Given that I only learned about the existence of fandom as a concept in late 2016, the longest I’ve ever been in a fandom is roughly 4,5 years.

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

Many! Currently it’s Hiccstrid and Hicretstrid. And maybe a little Zelink. But thinking back, I think my very first OTP was when I was around five years old. From the Captain Tsubasa anime series, Tsubasa and... I don’t even know her name... 🤣 There was this girl who always cheered him on and was his no.1 fan. ANd in hindsight, I think I also shipped Tsubasa... with nearly all other players, mainly, Taro Misaki, Jun Misugi, and Kojiro Hyuga. 🤣

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

TV-shows, mostly. I prefer the visuals over books and I prefer the slower development over those in movies.

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

Not caused me to stop liking them. But in some cases (ATLA and TDP, to name two) it raised my expectations so high that, when I finally got to dip into them, I was rather underwhelmed. It also didn’t help that I already knew the ending and some major plot points. If there’s one sure way to dampen my excitement it’s spoilers.

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)

Supernatural. Pretty much all other fandoms I dip into occasionally, I knew at least a little before. But literally everything I know about Supernatural is from seeing posts here. 🤣

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

I can’t think of an individual character right now, but in general an arc I like is someone (re-)learning to trust.

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

Snotlout has a great relationship with his dragon. Valka, too. Gobber and the twins are always fun, in their own ways.

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

Already answered before.

Hmm... First, I wanted to say Astrid. And I'd enjoy having her as a friend, as someone to challenges me to be more active, to work on my skills and someone to talk.

But I think, I'd enjoy being friends with Hiccup, too. I'd like to brainstorm ideas, ponder over inventions and exchange ideas. Geek out about dragons!

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

Acceptance, respect, and some common sense. But that’s not just fandom...

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

My very long list of favoured songs randomly gave me 9 Crimes by Damien Rice. There once was an absolutly stunning AMV with this song about the TV-show The Legend Of The Seeker, The Sword Of Truth (based on the books by Terry Goodkind). I was deeply in love with Richard’s and Kahlan’s relationship, and with Cara on a general level. That AMV featured them all, and I loved it!

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

Oh, oh, oh, oh! I just thought about this modern meet-cute AU for Hiccstrid a few days back, might as well write it down here. (And will also copy it over into an individual post, I think...)

Hiccup is a single father of a three-years-old daughter. One day, he meets Astrid in a supermarket; she’s in front of him at the check-out and when he hears her voice, he’s stunned. Because he knows her voice, hears it every day. Because she lend her voice to one of these talking toys for toddlers.His daughter’s favourite toy.

Hiccup always liked that toy best, too, because it didn’t sound as annoying as most others. Pleasant even. When he sees and hears Astrid, he recognises her voice in an instant. He jokingly thanks her for making his days more bearable. She’s confused, who is this weirdo? So he tries to explain. “The toy. My daughter’s toy. It’s your voice. A pleasant voice. I listen to it every day.” He keeps getting weirder, stammers, turns red like a tomato, until he eventually just flees, wishing a hole would open up to swallow him, that was so embarrassing.

Meanwhile, Astrid is touched. Knowing that there is at least one little girl who likes the toy she helped create. And her father, apparently. Who had been cute. In how shy he’d been. And how excited. She’s sorry he left before she was able to talk to him and thank him.

Over the next days, Hiccup would think of her a lot. Every time he hears her voice again, he’d think of her. Her face. Her smile. Until they, eventually, meet again... ^^

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

Answered before

None, really. There are several fandoms I grew out of, like Sailor Moon or Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne. But I wouldn't say I abandoned them. I still enjoy seeing content about them.

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

Those of the rider with their dragons. Hiccup&Toothless. Astrid&Stormfly.

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

Pretty much all of my headcanons are about Hiccstrid in one way or combination. One of my personal favourites is that Astrid has a tiny birthmark on the back of her neck. She doesn’t even know it’s there, she can’t see it and it’s almost always covered by her hair anyway. But Hiccup knows it’s there. And he loves to place a kiss on it. It tickles and would always make her giggle. And she smells so nice.

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

*snorts* No. If there are people who don’t share my headcanons, then... they don’t have to? I can live and be friends with people regardless of whether we share the same headcanons or not. And if people keep attacking me for mine, I’ll just block them and walk away. Arguing about something like that is not worth my time.

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

Astrid. HTTYD.

erm...

uh...

I really have difficulties thinking of favourites from any other fandoms here! xD

uhm...

Princess Zelda from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Kaladin Stormblessed from the Stormlight Archives.

I might have a type here. Brave, strong, not always easy to deal with. Fiercely loyal. Stubborn. Proud. Honourable. that’s all three of them. ^^

V - Which character do you relate to most?

Same answer as the above, mostly. I think I already wrote a long answer to a similar question once. 🤔 I relate to Astrid in many ways. Loyal and reliable, not always easy to approach, often prefers to deal with her problems on her own instead of asking for help.

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

Anything jealously, especially it being portrayed as a sign of love or dedication. But also love triangles. Unnecessary.

Another thing I don’t like is when there’s a misunderstanding and they argue about it and get angry and yell and have a huge falling-out... when it all just boils down to them not listening.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

Answered before.

Forbidden Romance. In any form. I just love the angsty tension it brings without the characters fighting or arguing about misunderstandings.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Supernatural, ATLA, TDP, MCU.

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

With all the critical thinking that’s encouraged in fandom culture, I wish more people would remember Ratatouille and this quote by Anton Ego.

“In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.”

-- Anton Ego (Ratatouille)

Or at least respect it. It’s called entertainment and not lecture about every little detail that is wrong with other people’s opinions. I get why it’s important to look deeper and question meanings and intentions, I really do. But sometimes, I’d prefer to at least occasionally just enjoy something without getting lectured by others for it.

Thank you! 😘💜

taurus

IV. height?

5′ 8″

V. favourite feature?

I kinda like my eyes? they’re a fun sort of hazel/brown/gold color and i just think they’re neat

VI. favourite colour?

difficult question as lately I have been oscillating wildly! today I have to say I’m feeling a bright, sunshiney yellow! yellow like sunflowers and cheer

VII. favourite animal?

....harder question bc animals were kind of my special interest growing up? hmm... can I say that my favorite animal to make fun of their digestive system has to be koalas. like!? idiots!! I cannot abide them.

their eating habits are so stupidly picky that if the eucalyptus leaves are from the wrong region they say :\ guess i’ll starve then!! not to even start on the fact that they spend most of their energy trying to digest these stupid poisonous leaves. you know how koalas are cute and sleep so much? it’s bc they spend like half their energy metabolizing eucalyptus so they don’t get killed off by their favorite snacks. truly a marvel of nature.

VIII. average hours spent sleeping?

lately it’s been like 4-5 which is why I am quitting my job! (got a better scheduled job finally) I am so tired all the time! you know those people who say “oh haha yeah I have to get 8 hours or I’m not functional :))”? do they think I am functional? I haven’t gotten 8 hours of sleep in my life

IX. dogs or cats?

both are such good good friends but tonight I gotta say cats

X. number of blankets you sleep with?

as many as I can get away with. right now it’s still very hot here so that means start with like 1.5 and kick one off in the night. need me some blankets tho!

XI. what’s your dream trip?

I love travel of any sort but I really want to go to Jerusalem! I’m saving up to do a semester there and it is stupidly expensive

XIV. how many followers do you have?

138! picked up a few new ones lately. I love you guys!!

XV. how many pets do you have?

3! ish. I’m usually off at school, but at my Proper house we have squirtle the tortoise, hopscotch the bunny rabbit, and charlie the mutt (3/4 beagle, 1/8 poodle, 1/8 pug he’s very fluffy and loud and loud)

XVI. best places to visit in your town or country?

boy oh boy utah has got some sweet national parks and I cannot recommend them highly enough! arches and canyonlands and zion? love that red rock. I went camping down there with my friends for my b-day and these idiots were ?! cars!! this looks like cars!! it’s like lightning mcqueen could come around the bend at any moment!!!!!1! no. please. fools appreciate my state without bringing the pixar racing legend into it

also we’re in the middle of nowhere which mean no light pollution! we’ve got several international dark sky parks here where you can really get a good look at space. we spend a lot of time in space for how little time we spend looking at it?

XVII. favorite ice cream flavour?

lately I’ve been loving on chocolate? but historically speaking i’m a sucker for vanilla bean

XVIII. how often do you read

so much. a ridiculous amount. mainly fanfic bc i like my tropes and i like my aus and i adore the community

XIX. favourite study locations?

study?? in my academic career???? it’s more likely than you think actually. traditionally executive dysfunction kicks my butt and we don’t get any textbook reading done, but I am a huge proponent of just talking about what you’re learning throughout the day and explaining concepts to people in order to find your weak spots. I do like the library if I’m having a good day?

XX. favourite book series?

stormlight archive yeah babey! but also legion 3 is coming out this fall and I had no idea? stephen leeds is my main dude??? i am one of the few people on this earth to have written legion fanfic and no one told me we’re getting another installment

I’m tagging no one but @milk-fighter bc he didn’t call in to writing group last week and i’m bitter

#my name is stephen leeds and I am perfectly sane. my hallucinations however are all quite mad #drag them #this is long and rambly and i wrote it instead of working on my novel #ask meme #oh gosh this took longer than i thought where did my writing time go
