Ask Game/Tag Game

tagged by @promiseiwillwrite !! Thank you!

are you named after someone? Yes, but I'm hoping to change my name in the future to cut ties with family.

what sports have you played? Basketball, volleyball, and swimming. I was not good at any of them lol

do you use sarcasm? All the time. I like my humor dry.

what is the first thing you notice about people? I genuinely don't know. Probably how polite they are. Like if they're talking over people/ignoring personal space/making mean jokes at others expense I notice right away. Versus if they're really nice and warm I notice that too.

what’s your eyes color? Very very light blue, almost grey. My optometrist told me I don't have the pigment that blocks out light. So that's fun!

scary movies or happy endings ? Both? But I'm a sucker for scary movies. And all things horror really. But I do love a happy ending if it's not horror.

any talent? I can sing and I write (I've been told well, but I genuinely have no idea how to quantify that sometimes). I'm a jack of all trades kind of person. If I'm interested in a hobby I can do it well at least until I get bored (or start getting good and self sabotage :D)

what are your hobbies? I RP a ton, have two characters on FFXIV that I'm working with rn and having a blast. I like Gposing (also in ffxiv), Drawing is fun when I'm in the mood, and reading is always a classic.

do you have any pets? Three! I have a dog (Akiva), a cat (Pippin), and a parakeet (Beemo).

how tall are you? 5'2 3/4" (I feel like I'm lying if I say just 5'2 or 5'3 lol)

dream job? I dunno. Something creative that isn't people facing please?

tagged by @ragnarokhound! thanks for the tag!!

name: Amy! Nice, simple, rarely gets misspelled. A pretty good name I think.

pronouns: she/her

where do you call home: Texas!!! It gets three exclamation points because I just moved back in December after three and a half miserable years in Louisiana XD I'm very happy to be home

favorite animal: Tiger 🐅 You know how when you're a kid you just pick a favorite animal and it just sticks with you forever, no longer a point of interest as you age but still written into a deep part of your soul as Very Important?

...or is that just me?

cereal of choice: Honey Nut Cheerios on a regular day, but I do enjoy some Peanut Butter Crunch when I wanna treat myself. Also I go through occasional phases of hardcore craving Frosted Mini Wheats, so that happens.

visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner: Visual/kinesthetic. I have hearing problems and my brain defaults to "didn't hear that, must not've been important" which means I am the opposite of an auditory learner. This is a big problem in my life lol

first pet: When I was a kid, I won some fishes at a school fiesta. That was my first and last pet experience.

favorite scent: I think...sandalwood??? I'm not a scent expert but I got this wooden rosary at my confirmation that I think was sandalwood and it smelled so good? Catch me sniffing my rosary like a weirdo to this day.

do you believe in astrology: I know I'm a leo and that's it. All this sun sign/moon sign/ascending stuff that's suddenly popular is baffling to me. And the typical description~ of leos is all about being outgoing and confident and bold so like, ha, no. I absolutely don't believe in it.

how many playlists on spotify/apple music: why. who have you been talking to. what do you know. so many I cry

sharpies or highlighters: Neither, they bleed through the page and that drives me crazy

songs that make you cry: "No Good Deed" from Wicked. "Everything I Know" from In the Heights. "Beauty from Pain" by Superchick. Those are just the first three to come to mind, I tear up pretty easily lol

songs that make you happy: "Be Okay" by Oh Honey. "Alive" by Krewella. "Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega. Also just the first three to come to mind, I'm easily influenced by music XD

do you write/draw/create: Not recently sadly. I used to! I'm still very proud of my 52 weeks of fic, in which I successfully posted a fic every week for the entirety of 2020, despite both a global pandemic and my best friend dying.

But part of my 52 weeks of fic included writing for Harry Potter and I got some significant hate on those fics. It kind of just...totally killed my muse. I tried to push past it but here I am with my last fic published in September 2021, going on almost two years with no writing at all. :(

I did get a little inspired lately, but it fizzled out. JD's birthday is coming up in September (that last fic I wrote was her 2021 birthday gift XD) so maybe I'll try again then?

9 people I’d like to get to know better - tagged by @frostyemma

Favorite Color: I like jewel tones! But what specific color varies, day to day.

Last Movie I watched: Everything Everywhere All at Once (Highly recommend!)

Last Show I watched: Doctor Who!

Last Song I listened to: "The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh)" by The Tokens

Favorite Sweet: Hm, depends. I like dark chocolate and mint; but also sour candies. I've recently been drinking a lot of orange soda, which is certainly sweet.

Relationship Status: Lol

Last thing Googled: Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit

Current obsession: Probably Jason Todd, but I dabble everywhere.

Pikachu! I choose: @notherdeadrobin, @shineyma, @mhalachai, @ilosttrackofthings, @thestarfishdancer, @sirsparklepants, @sapphireglyphs, @frostmarris, and @minidahla

*shyly waves*

tagged by @shineyma & @thestarfishdancer! thanks for thinking of me, friends!

name: Jan

pronouns: she/her

where do you call home: Southern California. I don't currently live there and the prospect of moving back there is growing more and more bleak as cost of living continues to rise every day but the thought of calling anywhere else home hurts too much. So, even if it's just in my dreams, SoCal will always be home to me.

favorite animal: If you know me, you know I love otters! 🦦 And cats but mostly otters.

cereal of choice: If I want a treat, I really like Reese Peanut Butter Cup and Cinnamon Toast Crunch but most of the time, a good granola cluster based cereal will make me happy.

visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner: Mostly Kinesthetic but I do find that I enjoy group discussions, podcasts, audiobooks, and that I have a knack for languages, therefore I'm probably an Auditory learner as well.

first pet: My first pet that wasn't a family pet was a hamster named Chip.

favorite scent: So after getting Covid, my sense of smell has never been the same. I usually love all types of clean and fresh scented perfumes but I think my favorite scent used to be freshly washed sheets. And now, everything smell off or muted and I kinda feel like I am experiencing the world a little less. 😔

do you believe in astrology: I kinda hate to admit it, but I sorta do. Like, I am very aware that it's so unscientific and not based on any substantial research at all but it's also kinda fun to think about. Plus, there is a level of cultural elements of astrology that I subscribe to (especially Lunar Astrology) that influences how I view certain things about the world. All in good fun.

how many playlists on spotify/apple music: Oh so SO many. Never too many... always just the right amount of many. lols

sharpies or highlighters: I am a sucker for stationary of all types but pretty pastel highlighters make my knees weak.

songs that make you cry: "Home" by Micheal Buble. "Fix You" Coldplay. "Spring Day" by BTS. "When You Come Back Down" by Nickle Creek.

songs that make you happy: "Feels Like A Dream" by Emilee. "Spells" by Cannons. "Super Shy" NewJeans.

do you write/draw/create: My days of fanfic writing are so far and few between nowadays, my time being filled with only research papers and essays. This was literally the last thing I wrote in March of this year for a Genshin Impact fic I had rattling around in my head:

Clear skies greeted Eula as she stepped out from the front doors of the Kamisato estate and onto the courtyard. The grass beneath the lacquered sandals that Lady Ayaka had lent her glistened with the morning dew that sparkled upon the blades of pristine greenery that lined the perimeter of the outdoor seating area where the family often dined for meals. Kneading the shoulder that the Fatui agent shot at the day prior, Eula's bruised muscles protest under her firm fingers as they worked at the rawness there. She would literally shrug it off for the time being, though, as she took in the morning weather and breathed in a deep lungful of crisp Inazuman air. She smiled wide then; the scent of snow danced on the breeze, and not even a sore shoulder could dull her mood at the thought of winter approaching. As much as she enjoyed the warmth of southern islands offered in the summer,

And that's it... didn't even get to the good stuff I had planned. *sigh* Maybe someday I'll finish it...

“Stockings?” Jemma says, wrinkling her nose in confusion.

“The Captain,” Darcy supplies as Jane snickers. “We call him Stockings because he’s HUNG.”

Jemma’s mouth drops open, and Daisy sputters and chokes on her drink. Jemma helpfully pats her on the back until she stops coughing.

“Oh my GAWD,” she finally says.

Vampires - Darcy Lewis/Steve Rogers

for @thestarfishdancer​ 250 words Rated T I trust you not to drain me

~~~~~~~~~~

“I trust you not to drain me.”

Darcy grinned, her fangs clicking down as she ran her fingertips over Steve’s throat.  She could feel his lifeforce, thudding away beneath the surface. “Why?” she asked, her mouth salivating at the thought of sinking her teeth into Steve Rogers’ throat.

“Because. You’re too nice to drain me,’ he countered, smirking a little.

“Dude. I am a vampire. Nice is not a verb I’ve heard used concerning me.”

“No, but you are.  You haven’t bitten anyone we’ve worked with, for one.”

“Could be merely self-preservation,” she offered.

“Yeah, but you can hypnotize people, right? You could have made them forget.”

“I could have done that with you. Made you into my ghoul and you wouldn’t know the difference.”

Steve shook his head. “Nah. You’re big on getting permission. Because when you were made, it was against your will.”

Darcy nodded, looking down. “Am I that transparent?”

“No,” Steve replied. “You’re not. I just know what to look for.”  He tilted his head. “So bite me, I know you want to.”

“Oh, want doesn’t begin to cover it,” she quipped, climbing into his lap and nuzzling against his throat.

She liked to slip her fangs in without the person even realizing. And this time was no different. They was in and out before Steve even finished talking.

He grunted when she sat up, licking her lips.  He reached for his throat and gasped. “I didn’t even feel it.”

“I’m just that good,” she teased.

thestarfishdancer replied to your post “So is anyone talking about The Protectorate Archive yet? Honestly I...”

Or maybe the pages just say deleted when they are in construction. "Good fic for good people" though... WOW. Good luck with that, Karen.

It’s been deleted and it looks like maybe it was a parody account. Which... I’m only half-buying, because if you were a pro-shipper or troll, it would actually be MUCH funnier to leave it up until a shit ton of antis had signed up and then change your homepage to some sort of April Fools message.

The punky colours is a condition, essentially, too. My friend Christina, who has amazing teal hair right now (and has done a slough of colours over the years) recommended it when I was trying to maintain a blue I'd had done in the salon but didn't want to pay salon prices. She's been doing her hair with it for years successfully and her hair is in good shape, which is always good as well.

that’s awesome! if I’m decide to do this i need something simple and easy because i am a hot mess and if there is any possible way to mess it up i will find it

Four word prompts, "is that my shirt?" And for biospecialist if you are taking pairings, anyone that suits your fancy if not!

This prompt is suuuuuuuuuper old, but for week forty seven I have slapped an ending on the drabble I started in response to it however long ago. I hope you (and every one else!) enjoy!

When the barrier clears to reveal Simmons standing on the otherside, Grant’s ready to inform her—just like he has every other visitor—that he’s only gonna talk to Skye.

Before he can do more than open his mouth, though, he gets verydistracted. “Is that my shirt?”

Simmons scoffs. “Don’t be ridicu…”

As she speaks, she’s glancing down at herself. The horror on herface when she realizes that yeah, that grey Henley is one hundred percent his,is priceless. She pinches a bit of the fabric beneath the collar and pulls itaway from her skin, face twisted in disgust like she’s thinking about takingthe shirt off here and now.

Rude—but also tempting.

Still, as nice a sight as Simmons in her bra would probably be,Grant’s riding a nine-month-long dry spell here. The last thing he needs is more sexual frustration, which—as heseriously doubts she’d let him do any touching—is all that could end in.

A distraction is in order. Except he also really wants answers. So…

“Why are you wearing my shirt?” he asks.

For a second, she turns that disgusted frown on him. Then shepointedly returns her attention to the tablet she’s holding like he’s not evenworth her notice. Something she doesn’t wanna admit to him, then…which presentssome interesting options.

“It’s okay if it’s because you missed me,” he says, careful tokeep his tone understanding instead of taunting. “I don’t mind.”

Actually, it’s a pretty appealing thought. The idea that all thatwork he put into her is still paying off, that even as she hates him she’slonging for him…the image of her sneaking into his bunk to steal a few of hisshirts, hating herself even as shetakes them back to her room…

Hell, the image of her curled in her bed, wearing his shirt andnothing else. Touching herself, thinking about him, fucking her fingers andpretending they’re his—

Fuck. So much for avoiding sexual frustration.

“I’ve missed you, too,” he adds, ripping his mind away from thatvery appealing scenario.

Simmons turns her nose up at him.

“No one misses you, you berk,” she claims. The disdain in hervoice might be convincing, but her white-knuckled grip on that tablet saysotherwise. “This was just an accident.”

“You…accidentally took a shirt from my bunk instead of yours?” heasks. He pulls on his cover just a tiny bit to give her a teasing kind of smile—anAgent Grant Ward look that invites her to laugh at her own terrible lie.

Back on that Bus, this smile got her to confess to a lot of things—everythingfrom a soon-to-be-dead enemy goon hitting her mid-mission to that time she andSkye snuck away in the middle of the night to get milkshakes.

Here and now, it only gets him an impatient frown.

“If you really must know,” she says sharply, “all of your thingswere moved to storage shortly after we settled into this base. I must havegrabbed one of your boxes by mistake when I retrieved my own last night.”

…Okay. Grant’s things being in storage, he gets—he’s a prisonerafter all. But… “Why were your things in storage?”

“None of your business,” she says, and hits the screen of hertablet rather forcefully. “I have questions about—”

“I’m sorry,” he interrupts. “I don’t know if Coulson told you, butI’m only speaking to Skye.”

Slowly and with a great deal of visible irritation, Simmons liftsher eyes to meet his. “We’ve been speakingfor several minutes now.”

“We have,” he agrees. “But anything else, I’ll only say to Skye.Sorry.”

Grant has to hand it to her—Simmons is beyond stubborn. UnlikeCoulson, who’s never lasted more than five minutes, she actually keeps talkingat him for another thirty before finally throwing her hands up and leaving indisgust.

If it were Coulson, he’dprobably be annoyed, but as it’s Simmons? Those thirty minutes give him plentyof time to memorize the whole scene—the way his shirt hangs off her curves, thev above the button framing her cleavage, the sleeves she has to keep shovingback up as they fall past her knuckles…

He’s not gonna lie, Simmons looks damn hot in his shirt.

In all honesty, there’s no avoiding sexual frustration after allthese months he’s spent locked in a hole in the ground cell. And since he’sgonna be frustrated either way, there’s really no point in denying himselffantasies, is there?

So once Simmons finally gives up, Grant retreats to his bed andsettles in for some good old fashioned day-dreaming. She’s just offered him awhole new class of things to think about, after all—it’d be rude to ignore it.

First up on the roster: how Simmons might’ve tried to get someanswers out of him if she were a little more desperate. Now that’s the stuff dreams (and porn) aremade of.
