B/c I can’t sleep and @mal-ary-ush tagged me days ago in this 20 questions thing

Name: Shane

Nicknames: Shaners (family and family friends use this still from time to time b/c my auntie and grandma thought it was the cutest™ and I don’t disagree)

Zodiac: Virgo, lol I need to have my auntie find the star chart my grandpa drew up for me around my birth to look for correlations to my life now.

Height: 6'1"

Nationality: American and as we’ve discovered over the course of the last year or so some branches of my dad’s family are literally Mayflower colonial, which still has me shook b/c that same family harps on being Irish Catholic™ (according to our DNA research and lack of more informative records, they were Anglo-Irish lmao) and descendants of the Oregon Trail colonizers (turns out that they came from the Mayflower families, so colonizing and displacing native people was in their blood). And while I’m talking family history, my mom’s family is mostly Swedish (they moved as a village to the US for a reason not clear in family lore, but I figure something to do with agricultural issues) and Austro-Hungarian Jews (from literally all over that region b/c that branch of the family didn’t mind intermarriage with everyone else lol), there’s a mystery (Welsh, according to the story told to my grandma) great grandpa that my mom is also digging into.

Favorite fruit: strawberries and apples

Favorite season: late summer into early fall and early spring, especially here in the South Bay.

Favorite book: This is hard because I have so many favorites, but as far as series are concerned it’s HP and for singular books American Gods (b/c I’m rereading it and I am in love with the show).

Favorite flower: roses, daisies, cherry blossoms

Favorite scent: I’m honestly not that knowledgeable about perfumes and colognes, but I do love the smell of new books, old books, leather, and freshly cleaned linens.

Favorite color: blue, purple, red, green

Favorite animal: dogs, cats, wolves, most big cats, and lowkey horses

Favorite beverage: most variations of Thai tea, tea in general, cafe au lait, margaritas

Average hours of sleep: 6-8 even if it’s non consecutive

Favorite fictional character: A Lot. But off the top of my head: Shadow Moon, Harry Potter, Sam Wilson, Lois Lane, Wonder Woman, Buffy Summers, Cordelia Chase, Steve Rogers, Ilana Wexler and imma stop right here b/c I could go on.

Last thing I googled: “black actresses over 30 and under 40” b/c I’m trying to fancast Bast and broaden my scope from Angela Basset and Gina Torres.

Number of blankets I sleep with: one (1) because I’m a born and raised and never left Californian.

Dream trip: I have so many!!! London, Dublin, Cardiff, Paris, Nice, Venice, Rome, Athens, Mykonos, the Valley of the Kings, Cairo and the Great Pyramids, Mumbai, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, among many others.
