hey wait. so if you grow up as an only child or with siblings who like the same tv as you how do you learn tolerance?
#that football poll really made me reflect on how much tv i've had on in the background that was just absolute white noise to me#altho back when we were all younger there were more tvs in the house. mostly small ones#there was one i remember vividly that was like only a foot wide. it sometimes moved around#it had a vcr player in the bottom#i so clearly remember watching lizzie mcguire on it while discovering if you smash a marker youre coloring w#all the ink comes out at once. but then youre left wo it being pointy at the end#and that tv could be moved around. i remember watching shrek on it in my mudroom once lol#i also remember watching whose line is it anyway and not understanding improv but just seeing the men sit in chairs#and stand up and just looking at the colorful background. it was somehow still entertaining to me i dont remember AT ALL why#tales from diana#one thing that is somewhat understandable to me from what i understand about childhood entertainment in the streaming era#is that children THANK GOD still seem to fight w their siblings about what to watch on tv#they just dont even say 'on tv' they say 'on disney plus'#it shouldnt feel so strange to me but i just cant imagine coming home from school and selecting something from a list of programs#and then watching that in full without commercials. i'm like what. that's not tv#you're supposed to get home in the middle of an episode of spongebob that they play twice a week and quote along w it like karaoke#youre supposed to argue and flip back and forth one thing and another when one turns to a commercial break#THATS AMERICA!!!!!

😈😈😈 you know what i want. coz bitch, if I’m about to answer all of these fucking questions you can be damn sure I’m gunna try and make you answer them all too! Operation Ultimate Nosey commence!!! XXXX
Oh God, no you didn’t xD But I shall not refuse since I gave you the same monstrous ask, wahhaah (you better do it!)
of course here will also be the answers to your asks @desushoard and @scramblingminds and that anon xD cause apparently, I’m answering them all! xD
keep reading if you want xD this is gunna be very personal (and probably boring, lol)
Autumnal Asks
lantern - how did you meet your best friend? What were your first impressions of each other?
I had so many “best friends” in my life, cause I’m not 12 anymore, lol. One was a childhood friend. One I met at 7th grade, she saved me from having to sit alone in a new class when she asked me if I want to sit with her while I was standing around, unsure of what to do, cause I had no friends. Another I met online, we hated each other from the beginning so much, we would fight all the time in the forum and everyonen would hold their breath xD then we turned into bffs when we found out we had so much in common. classic teenagers, lol. now we don’t talk anymore really. Then I turned 20 and… I don’t think I have thought about friends in “best friend” terms anymore. As you can see, I sadly don’t have one friend that stayed in my life permanently, as they romantisize it in tv shows and movies… well :D
frost - if you could give some advice to your younger self, what would you say?
STOP BEING SILENT. STAND UP FOR YOURSELF. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. What I regret the most is that I didn’t pursue things because of anxiety and insecurities… ugh. 
maple - is there a hobby / skill that you’ve always wanted to try but never did?
SEWING! and design. I mean… I did sew little things, so I can’t say I have never tried… but I didn’t pursue it. It would be so cool to design and sew your own clothes! 
harvest - what fictional character do you most identify with? Why?
Daryl Dixon. Lol. Because we are both insecure, anxious, emo potatoes who go through long periods of times hating themselves for no real reason… sighhh *hugs daryl* Also I headcanon him as gray-ace, which I identify myself as… soooo, if you write him emo AND gray-ace, chances are that I’ll be all over your characterization lmao. 
fireside - if you had your dream wardrobe, what would it look like?
The Instagram of a Hipster XD 
cider - a food that you disliked as a child but now enjoy?
Pumpkin! Hated it until I turned 20. Now I LUV it. 
amber - share an unpopular opinion that you may have.
That people under the Asexual umbrella belong to the LGBT community XD 
fog - how well do you think you’d do in a zombie apocalypse scenario?
I’m a doctor, so I’d be valuable and expect others to protect me! XD altho if you go by tv-shows and movies, doctors die first for dramatic value. so… y’all better protect my ass! But I’m not very athletic, so I’d die trying to run away because I’d have an asthma attack after 1 min of trying to run away and give up. (so you better PROTECT ME! XD)
jack-o-lantern - if you could look like any celebrity, who would you choose?
Emily Didonato!
spice - have you ever encountered a house that you believed to be haunted?
Nah.
orchard - share one thing that you’d like to happen this autumn.
Me being able to draw again. Me being able to sleep again. Getting healthy…
crow - which school subject do you wish you had an aptitude for?
P.E. XD I was good with all the other stuff, I was an A student lol ~ except for P.E. xD
bonfire - describe your dream house.
Like the ones I built in Sims 2 + 3. Big, spacious, has a pool, has a fireplace, has room for hobbies and a gym and a little cinema and a huge garden.
cinnamon - if you had to live in a time period different than the present, which would you choose and where?
A time in which there is no racism anymore and women and LGBT have equal rights and people are paid what they deserve and wealth is spread more equally among the folks and not just owned by the 0,0000001% of humankind (who are white and most probably male).
Find that time, beam me there, Scotty. Thank.
cobweb - (if you’ve graduated) do you miss high school?
YES. It was easy, easy, easyyyyy. I hated the social aspect of it cause I mostly didn’t have many friends… I was the nerd outcast and people were racist partly, so mostly I pretended to be reading LOTR or something in the breaks so I didn’t have to feel bad for no one talking to me xD BUT so much free time!!!!!! and so EASY. So definitely: YES.
cranberry - what’s one physical feature that you get complimented on?
I guess it’s my eyes. They are fanfic-green. Lmao.
maize - share the weirdest encounter you’ve had with a stranger on the street.
uhhhh only a negative encounter comes to my mind, and I don’t wanna talk about it. 
quilt - how do you take your tea (or coffee)?
with my mouth? like what kind of question is this XD I don’t put anything in it. no sugar or milk or anything. black coffee or just plain tea. 
pumpkin - do you think that humans are inherently good or bad?
uhm. I think they are both. I think the more powerful, the more the bad side of them comes to the surface… I think humans are both and have to work for being good. they have to make active choices. nice people are admirable because they CHOOSE to be nice. that’s tough work, and not many appreciate it, and you still end up being blocked on tumblr, lol. being a dick is easy. and chances are, that bad people will make it farther in life because they have less scruples…
moonlit - are you a neat or messy person? Is your room / house orderly?
Messy xD I try to be neat… buuuttt…
flannel - have you ever gone on a bad date?
I have never gone on a date in the first place. No one wants to date me, lol. So… no xD
cocoa - if you could have any type of hair, what colour and cut would you have?
CURLY BIG AND VOLUMONOUS. I don’t care about the cut or colour. I have alopecia… so… I just want BIG HAIR T_T (okay, NORMAL hair would do it too. I’d be perfectly fine with just normal hair T_T)
ghost - is there someone that you miss having in your life?
Friends who drifted apart from me over time.
THERE, scraming lady @neekanoo, I DID IT!! Now it’s your turn!!! :P
Let’s turn this from Ask meme into a Tag meme, shall we??? XD WAHAHAHAHA I KNOW ITS A LOT AND I DO NOT CARE! Don’t do it if you don’t wanna
