2, 6, 20, 21!

2. Do you have a reading goal this year?

To read as much that I find enjoyable and/or interesting as I can.  I don’t try to put a numeric goal on it because frankly, I have so much going on work-wise and personally that I really don’t need something that’s meant to be fun that could feel like I’m ‘failing’ at if I don’t make it.   I am enough of a stress box right now.

6. What is a book that you hated but read anyway?

The Handmaid’s Tale, because it was for a university course back in the day and I had to write an essay for it.  It’s not that it’s not well-crafted, but subject-wise….well, to put it very mildly, NOPE. I ground my teeth all the way through it.

I did find it amusing that the thesis of the essay for class reduced the contingent that had otherwise started loud and vigorous arguments on nearly every other book (I’m not even kidding, it was absurd) in respect to anarchy to just smiling and nodding energetically and saying it was very interesting.  Apparently they were not prepared to argue about quantum physics.  

20. A book series you can’t wait to read.

I’m looking forward to the continuation of Maggie Stiefvater’s Dreamer Trilogy. Next one is out soon I think! I would also really like to see book 3 of the Kingkiller Chronicles and plan a reread of the first two once that’s on the horizon.

21. A book series you’re never going to read.

Regretfully, I don’t expect I’ll be continuing on with any further books in the Vicious universe.  I LOVE Vicious very much.  But I just could not make it through Vengeful.  I don’t know what happened, but I just found it painful and it seemed like the ‘voice’ of it was very different.  

Thank you for the ask!

i also got this from @katsukes so im gonna include wat wouldve been my responses in this too! 

also theres a strong possibility ppl have already received this message in their inboxes bc every1 is wonderful

@celiabowens - first, TY SO MUCH! truly its an honor to get this from u! can i also take a moment to hype u up w/ how talented & sweet u r? its such a treat to have u on my dashboard! ur a huge inspiration and hopefully i can get to ur level someday hahaha. im also really happy to follow u bc im trying to get back into reading & ik that ur into literature so i get to have a bunch of reading recs. plus seeing ur lit posts motivate me to expand my tastes & get back into reading :)

@katsukes - ian where do i even start! u interact w so many ppl & make this website really fun to be on. u reach out to a lot of ppl & spread much needed kindness. i feel like u put in a lot of effort to make every1 feel welcomed, which is so appreciated. the content u make for so many fandoms as well is stunning! u truly do a lot for tons of fandoms & i think were pretty blessed to have u on this site

@whisperhearts - ur really kind & a positive person, to the point where it compelled me to start interacting with ppl more on tumblr to try to also bring some kindness on this site. i also really admire ur gfx too bc of the way u use typography! aesthetic is A++. u also inspired me to try bullet journaling & actually keep up w/ it for once in my life lmao

@queerbucky - u help me bring out my creativity & motivation to make gifs! u always makes requests & im so happy to make them for u. as a content creator, when some1 does this it makes u feel special. i really appreciate u & how kind u r!

@wuatsui - since i came back to tumblr, ur some1 who made me feel really welcomed. i iniatially followed u on my anime blog, where u tagged me in a lot of get to know u posts. prior to this i rarely interacted with ppl, so having u wanting to get to know me felt nice! ur content & gifs r also A+! i especially like ur naruto gifs & seeing them on my dash is part of the reason why i started rewatching it :)

@mafuyuh - u have a really warm aesthetic & personality. i super enjoy seeing u interact with others bc ur so approachable. ur also very creative & everything u put out is honestly amazing & breathtaking. i would never in a million years think up the things u do! seeing u in my notifications is always a treat!

@zuura - ur someone who i followed on the more recent side, & i sorely regret not doing it earlier! when i see u reblogging things, u always have something positive to say. the world could really benefit from more ppl like u! also ur colorings r AMAZING. i feel like theyre always glowing & vibrant! 

@arriettvs - ur a very sweet person! although we havent interacted extensively i feel like were kindred spirits :) ur content is remarkable. genuinely, i love seeing how u use typography in ur gfx & i love seeing the pretty colors u bring out in all ur gifs. u also follow all of my blogs which is extremely kind of u. also i hope this isnt weird but ur 1 of the few active followers on my photo blog so i try to reblog stuff i think u would like as well LOL

@yuuki-ko - ur work is super recognizable & i can tell whenever i c ur gifs on my dash. theyre always vibrant & stand out. also ik a lot of my mutuals follow u too & i can see why! u respond to every1 w such kindness! lastly, i love reading ur comments in the tags bc u seem so excited w/ a lot of stuff & it also makes me feel excited hahaha

@manganimae - first of all, ur URL is SO perfect & fun! my other social media usernames r also puns off of my name so when i first followed u & took a look at ur about i instantly fell in love w ur URL hahaha. i think ur also super creative to incorporate manga panels + gifs in ur edits :) additionally, its super fun to see wat new things u come up with! all ur ghibli gifs r so fun bc u color them in ways that i dont think ive ever seen before

@kiyomie - ur work amazes me every time i see it. u managed to create a look in all of ur edits thats specific to u, & thats a massive feat that i think is very hard to do, especially across different fandoms. ik that anon also sent u an accusatory message not too long ago, but i think u handled it very gracefully too, which i think is a huge comment on how mature & kind u r!

37, 38, 39! 😆

37: Name a popular anime you love

Jujutsu Kaisen <3 (if it wasn’t obvious enough hah)

38: Name a popular anime you hate

Ooh I don’t think there’s one I hate, but I have a really love-hate relationship with snk. Seems to be more hate at the mo, and the naming of the final season is randomly annoying me, as it didn’t actually end after those 16 eps, instead there’s basically two more seasons.

39: Is there an anime you wish was more popular?

Vinland Saga. It’s really good, but probably a bad choice for it to be just on Amazon

@celiabowens i will forever be jealous of your edits gio, no matter what you say!!! i’m in love with your creations and i can’t wait to see more of them. talking to you is so fun, especially in the group chat, that place is just on crack lmao. and thank you for giving me back my motivation and making me want to try coloring again <3

@reddoriot TSUKI YOU ARE KINDA LIKE MY LITTLE TREASURE! we don’t talk much, but simply your presense makes my day a bit brighter and i am glad i got to meet you here, you are a ray of sunshine! and i’d love to hopefully see more of your edits 💕

@ultkags cas we are like the definition of short time mutuals lmao, but i think you are very very sweet and i just want to take the chance to say once again how beautiful i think your graphics are and how much i love your editing style!!!! <3 i hope to get to know you more but as i said in the post before, if you search for awkward social interactions on the internet a pic of me might appear so pls don’t be disappointed if i happen to keep admiring you from afar 😭

@manganimae you are a very kind and lovely person mae and i’m so happy i followed you. your edits really are something else, they’re just so unique and creative, they make me baffled every single time, especially those game themed edits recently!!! <3

@qvalcuno it’s so nice to see you giving all the support and love and positivity to the people around here, i really appreciate and i am happy for that, so a big thank you, you’re doing something wonderful <3 (and i love those incorrect quotes you’re posting, they never fail to give me a good laugh)
