Fic Author Tag Game

tagged by @shatteredhourglass thank you ryan!!!

AO3 name: 1000_directions (underscore instead of hyphen, YES it makes me upset that they don’t match!!!!)

Fandoms: currently, just marvel (specifically mcu + matt fraction’s hawkeye). previously, one direction. previously previously, popslash. i was always very heavily into rpf before joining the marvel fandom, and i have really, really enjoyed getting to write about fictional characters.

Number of fics: 77 on ao3. 52 in mcu, 34 in 1d. (wait but that totals more than 77. oh sweet summer child, have you never heard of #ship 1d with superheroes 2k18?)

1. Fic you spent the most time on: i started writing lucky5 in november of 2018 and it is still extremely not done, so...that’s the one that’s been cooking away the longest, although i haven’t added anything to it in about a year. i spent about two months working on my winterhawk reverse big bang, see a little light, after i tossed out the original draft that i spent like a month working on. writing for the big bang was intense. i was so lucky to be paired up with cb, who was the most wonderful and encouraging ever, but it was still a slog the whole way through, even though i really love the story that came from it.

2. Fic you spent the least time on: i have a lot of one-night wonders, most of which took a few hours. i wrote middles, 800 words of endings beginnings fic, in about 45 minutes, but i’d spent days writing it in my head before that.

3. Longest fic: dust to dust, the third installment in the luckyverse, which is just 22k of bucky learning about self-care and going to the farmer’s market and dancing in his kitchen. i still really, really love that story.

4. Shortest fic: i have 6 little ficlets under 1000 words

5. Most hits: only you know me the way you know me, my one and only stucky fic, the most popular pairing i have ever attempted to write. if you like shifting power dynamics and small penises, i gotchu babe!

6. Most kudos: ever fallen in love with someone (winterhawk punks in love)

7. Most comment threads: same as above!

8. Fave fic you wrote: i’m really proud of (do you know who you are?), because it feels very different from anything else i’ve ever written. it has more plot (sort of), it’s not established relationship, it’s kind of angsty and fucked up in a way i don’t normally explore. it was fun to see that i was capable of stepping so far outside my comfort zone. i also really liked save your first and last chance for me because i think i played with the winterhawk relationship in a way i normally don’t. i normally keep things very soft and safe, but this is a little more dysfunctional and desperate. and on the other end of the spectrum, the one where clint fell into a pond is so filthy and i love how shameless and dirty it is.

9. Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: i don’t currently feel very compelled to expand on anything! right now, to the extent that i feel creative at all, i prefer a headspace where i am exploring something brand new instead of feeling beholden things that i’ve already done. i’m sure this will change!

10. Share a bit of your WIP or share a story idea that you’re planning:

“So, they’re definitely attached,” Bruce is saying. He’s referring to the three tentacles coming out of Bucky’s left shoulder socket. Clint knows that they’re technically octopus arms, not tentacles. He’s been corrected on this point enough times to know. But it’s still hard to look at that weird triplet undulation of flesh and think of it as an arm. They’re each about six feet long and white and almost elegant looking, and there are three of them where Bucky’s left arm used to be, and Clint feels sick just looking at the picture.

“How are they attached?” Tony asks tersely. “Are they sutured? Wired? Can they be removed?”

“They’ve fused with his body,” Bruce says. “I don’t know how. But there’s no obvious seam, no scarring. They look like they’ve always been there.”

“They haven’t always been there,” Steve says angrily. “They weren’t there.”

Clint truly doesn’t know how Steve can even bear it, sitting through these briefings while they debate the fate of his best friend, who was lost and tortured for decades while Steve never even knew he was still around. Clint doesn’t even know the guy, and he still feels a little ashamed of himself for not rescuing him sooner.

“They’re there now,” Bruce says, “and they’re not coming off easy. I mean, if he wants them off, we’ll figure it out, but it’s way too invasive to do without his consent.”

“That being said,” Tony says cooly, “he murdered my parents, so I don’t think vivisection is entirely off the table.”

tagging...... @tintedglasses @kangofu-cb @saysthemagpie @dearmrsawyer @flawedamythyst @captn-sara-holmes @queerindeed @ferryboatpeak@bigbrotherlouis @dinoflangellate SORRY if any of these are double-tags, y’all are hard to keep track of

99 Truths, 1 Lie. (My Junior Year)

Before ya go through this and guess the lie, I gotta say that there’s some stuff in here that might make you uncomfortable. Here’s ya warning. Anyway, here we go:

1. Junior year of college was the most tumultuous

2. For every incredibly wonderful day, I felt like I had 2x as many days feeling depressed and alone.

3. But I gotta say, living in a house with some of my coolest friends was super fun.

4. I just hoped that I didn’t “die” at some of the parties, y’know?

5. I’m still learning my “tolerance” lol

6. I don’t like those sugar-y alcohols.

7. They’re tolerable, but they always make me sick.

8. Speaking of which, there’s some things you probably wouldn’t even believe.

9. Almost like that’s the point of this whole “99 Truths, 1 Lie” game, huh?

10. There was a time where I got addicted to nicotine

11. I brought my vape wherever I’d go, cause I liked that buzz it gave me

12. I also used Tinder/Bumble much more often this year

13. I never thought I’d use it considering how much I don’t like dating apps (see “The Incident”)

14. But I gave it a try because of how desperate I was to have company

15. It sorta worked? Depending on how you’d define “worked”.

16. I met a few people off of it. It was awkward every time.

17. The first person I met didn’t even live around UIUC

18. They also assumed we were an official couple after meeting up once.

19. That ended fairly messy.

20. I did end up getting in a short relationship with someone from Tinder.

21. Again, she lived nowhere near UIUC.

22. Our first meetup ever was in a dark forest, at midnight, during the Winter.

23. Some people have told me that was a terrible idea.

24. I have to agree, but what’s the worst that could happen?

25. The possibility of disappearing without a trace? Yeah. Probably.

26. Erm, okay, the following is gonna sound like a total humblebrag, but hear me out:

27. Usually, people would love getting a lot of matches on these dating apps

28. Lately, I’ve been feeling very stressed talking to too many people at once.

29. As I said, humblebrag

29. Xander Mobus is the voice of the announcer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

30. But here’s the thing: I don’t consider myself to be an introvert

31. Yet, I’m not a complete extrovert either.

32. At the moment, I’m thinking of two people who I’m totally extroverted with

33. Every time I’d hang with them, I crack jokes and can always do comedic “bits” that they can easily play off of.

34. At the same time, I feel like a literal “fool”

35. There was a time in high school where my friends considered me to be the “super sarcastic” type

36. Secretly, I hated it because that makes me sound like an buttface.

37. Makes me think I’m this one dude you could never have a serious conversation with.

38. I’ll always be a joke to everyone.

39. I changed that once I got to college.

40. Instead of being overly sarcastic, I tried being more extroverted and lively

41. It worked for a bit, especially in my sophomore year here

42. And now... I don’t even know what I am anymore

43. Referring to #32, I now get the feeling that I’m super annoying to both of them now.

44. I get this feeling that they no longer enjoy hanging out with me

45. I’m always concerned with how people see me

46. Strangers, close friends, family. I hope they have a good image of me in their minds.

47. Yet, I can only convince myself that I’ve got no friends anymore

48. Of course, ^that’s not true. I do have people that care about me.

49. But seeing a psychologist multiple times in the last year made the following statement true:

50. I’m in a bad headspace, and my mind is crumbling

51. I saw a social worker over summer 2018

52. It helped, but as soon as I got back for junior year, I was falling apart

53. At one point first semester, I did something that I highly warn all of you to definitely not make the same mistake I did

54. I went for a walk by myself

55. at night

56. with my headphones in

57. I ended up getting followed on my way back home by some random person

58. and I didn’t even notice until much after he started following me

59. That incident really fucked me up for some time

60. But that’s not the mistake I’m talking about

61. The real mistake is walking alone, in the dark, with headphones on for a second time

62. The reason why I did that was because I did something I never saw myself doing ever

63. I hurt myself

64. Right after it happened, I fled my house

65. I was disappointed in myself

66. I was mad at myself

67. I was at my lowest point

68. I walked with no destination in mind

69. Luckily, a very nice friend helped me out, talked with me, comforted me, and I’m forever grateful they were there for me.

70. That’s what lead me to see a psychologist while I was here.

71. That’s all I’ll say on that topic

72. Here’s something completely different: I’ve “intoxicated myself herbally” multiple times

73. A lot of times, at this point. To the point where I can’t even recall how many times I’ve done it.

74. In fact, a roommate said “when is he not high?”

75. It was a bit chilling to hear

76. I’ve also “earned” the title of “smoker of the house” by my roommates

77. On the other hand, I keep notes every time I get “herbally intoxicated”

78. I think most people think it’s weird

79. But I like to use it as a sort of... diary? or journal?

80. I think it’s funny, and memorable. At least most of the time.

81. I also sometimes write letters to people while I’m “herbally intoxicated”

82. Most of the time, it’s so that I can tell them how cool they are and how happy I am that I met them. Sound familiar? You should ask me if I have any letters for you.

83. Anyway, the following statement is a short excerpt from 4/20:

84. “Took a shower, bought I was in there longer. Shower was only 10 minutes. The future was going in slow motion. Like a light bulb memory. Maybe a flash bulb? Listened to Angel Olsen. Felt like I was flying. Time was slow. It felt nice.”

85. If I didn’t believe in parallel universes before, I definitely do now.

86. However, I definitely need to start limiting how often I “herbally intoxicate” myself.

87. Especially considering I am completely fine doing it on my own now.

88. That’s a bit worrisome to me as well.

89. Other than that, I have one more thing that I want to share.

90. It’s something that I have rarely told people because I am afraid as to how they’ll react

91. Like they won’t believe me

92. Or that I’m only “doing it for attention”

93. I have been questioning its “veracity” almost everyday

94. The only reason I’m sharing it is because I was inspired by another person who told me they did the same thing.

95. Although most of everything I’ve said has been true, the main goal was to hit 100 here

96. And I definitely will

97. Even now, I’m going to write the last thing in such a way that most people still won’t know

98. First letters of 93-82 79-90-46-97-29-27-96-91

99. Now it’s out there

100. I don’t wanna thank you for going through this entire list of 99 truths, 1 lie. Please lemme know when ya get here so I can send you a funny meme. Or a song recommendation. I dunno something cool. See ya, and hope ya have a good day. ❤︎

- Armond

I was trying to put some of Bitty’s tweets in order for a small screencap but then it just turned out to be easier??? to format the entire month of March 2016??? IDEK a little bit of computer code is a dangerous thing to know

ANYWAY. As available here, except in chronological order, here are Bitty’s most recently-released tweets:

1 @omgcheckplease: I refuse to talk about politics, but I literally let out a sigh of relief when coach told me who he voted for. <3 THANKS, POP!

2 @omgcheckplease: Personally? I'd teach the finer workings of Samwell hockey anywhere but on that upholstered cesspool we call a couch, but I trust Lardo.

3 @omgcheckplease: Lardo: And if someone's late you just write it down. If someone doesn't show let RH know. Ford: RH. RansomHolster. Got it. Lardo: 'swawes.

4 @omgcheckplease: Ford: Right. I get that it's positive? But why do you guys say 'swawesome? Me: You'll find something weirder to worry about soon enough.

5 @omgcheckplease: Nursey: Hey, Las Vegas is playing Providence tonight. Dex: Uh oh. Jack versus Parse. Dex: I'm obvs rooting for Jack but that should be good.

6 @omgcheckplease: I shouldn't be thinking about jam this much, but here I am. Thank my wonderful aunt.

7 @omgcheckplease: NHL players like pie--but also mason jars filled w/ jam prepared according to an old family & aunt-perfected recipe. (A lil' bird told me.)

8 @omgcheckplease: But when your friend asks you to make a batch, does he mean enough for his team? Does that include the coaching staff?

9 @omgcheckplease: Whew! Now I can hit the hay. #PVDFalconers!

10 @omgcheckplease: What Ransom &I Talk About: - Hockey / The underclassmen - Life plans - Music - Dating and significant others. - Alexei Mashkov's instagram

11 @omgcheckplease: Tango: I had a date to homecoming my senior year, but before that I was homecoming alone. Nursey: PFFFFFT. Dex: Jesus, Tango. Chowder:...OH

12 @omgcheckplease: Picked up my phone to capture that poor child Tango's words in tweet form.

13 @omgcheckplease: The #GoPVDFalconers appreciate their fans; I appreciate the #GoPVDFalconers; I therefore appreciate all Falconers fans!! <3

14 @omgcheckplease: I'm nervous because I'm always nervous before hockey...but I've never seen Ransom and Holster so jittery.

15 @omgcheckplease: But for good reason. #ECACHockey QTR Finals, here we come.

16 @omgcheckplease: I'm excited for my day or three of visiting a special someone (<3), but I need to give this team 100% of my focus. #SamwellMensHockey

17 @omgcheckplease: #GotYourBack

18 @omgcheckplease: Tough loss. Thank you to everyone who made it out. #samwellhockey #ECACHockey

19 @omgcheckplease: It's good to have someone who understands and can talk you through a loss, get you grounded for the next game. <3

20 @omgcheckplease: Getting pump up texts from former teammates is one thing; getting texts from pros with no Samwell affiliation is another! #GoPVDFalconers

21 @omgcheckplease: Y'all've seen Tater's instagram--I'm still not sure what all those parenthesis are supposed to mean???

22 @omgcheckplease: Hey, y'all. Thanks so much to everyone who supported us this season! All the love in the stands and around campus means everything. <3

23 @omgcheckplease: I'm so thankful for our seniors--our captains & our team manager--for giving us 110% of themselves. They exemplify the team motto. <3

24 @omgcheckplease: Lots of love for Samwell hockey these last few days. Going to spend the break focusing on this team and our seniors especially.

25 @omgcheckplease: Oh, my heart "hi b! hearing news..........(((" "thank u for jam! so good)))"

26 @omgcheckplease: Doing some spring cleaning before I go and watch some games hosted by the national professional ice hockey league.

27 @omgcheckplease: That Lardo and Ransom are finally organizing themselves for their birthdays their *senior* year is somehow appropriate. It's gonna be big.

28 @omgcheckplease: I'm not even going to pretend that I retained MAX 5% of the French I learned. Y'all everyone has their talents; language is not mine.

29 @omgcheckplease: Like, I remember some phrases & can read and understand more than I can speak? But If I had to call an ambulance in Marseille, I'd perish.

30 @omgcheckplease: A beautiful language! I wish I were better! Oh and the pronunciation I learned is all jumbled up with Quebecois in my fool mind.

31 @omgcheckplease: Why is it that I'm not at the Haus when the legendary Shitty Knight is back in town wreaking havoc in Samwell, MA?

32 @omgcheckplease: oh smh group text is

33 @omgcheckplease: Shitty: everyone knock on all the wood around you but can we give it up for JLZ & the Falcs Shitty: summer vacay we're smashed in Welltown

34 @omgcheckplease: Lardo: I need to beat Alexei Mashkov at beer pong.

35 @omgcheckplease: Jack: haha he's serious about that. Lardo: then why has it taken so long Lardo: time and place Shitty: yessss that's my girl

36 @omgcheckplease: Tater is literally twice the mass of Larissa Duan.

37 @omgcheckplease: Anyway! Back to (#) (◡‿◡) (!)

38 @omgcheckplease: Ransom has his computer and Lardo is writing lists. They're up to something.

39 @omgcheckplease: Nursey just texted me that he really needs "baked goods" this afternoon. I wonder why he's having a bad day?

40 @omgcheckplease: Well! I'll be cooking for most of the day anyway! Because y'all? Jam is in **demand**

41 @omgcheckplease: WHEW. There's something comforting about a warm kitchen full of mason jars.

42 @omgcheckplease: The situation: A friend of a friend got hold of my aunt's jam, & now a good portion of a pro. hockey team is on a jam (or pie) waitlist.

43 @omgcheckplease: He's got more important things to focus on at the moment, but a member of that team should be by this week to pick up the goods!

44 @omgcheckplease: I'm being *so* vague. Y'all'll *never* guess which former Samwell hockey captain and #GoPVDFalconers star will be dropping by for jam.

45 @omgcheckplease: And I really don't mind! I should be doing my reading for Alice, but she's getting jars too. Y'all, what's spring break FOR?

46 @omgcheckplease: Dex just showed up, saw the chaos, and dropped his backpack in the corner. Dex: Need help? Me: Bless your heart.

47 @omgcheckplease: Only on very rare occasions do I use that phrase with good will and a positive intent. <3 These frogs.

48 @omgcheckplease: Nursey: He only wants your dibs. Dex: (1) Bitty's not graduating. (2) You know that people are capable of doing things for others, right?

49 @omgcheckplease: Nursey: He only wants your jam. Dex: Dex: Bitty I wasn't going to say anything but it's my mom's birthday next week and

50 @omgcheckplease: She's up to something.

51 @omgcheckplease: This t-shirt might smell like cherries for the rest of its existence.

52 @omgcheckplease: All these girls out here with majors like "engineering", "art", "cs", & "poli sci". I'm literally trying to graduate by writing a pie essay.

53 @omgcheckplease: *A very lengthy pie essay. Unfurling the shifting roles of baked goods in specific historic eras is copious research.

54 @omgcheckplease: Coach: How's school? Me: My GPA's at [OMITTED], meeting w/ my American Studies adviser on my thesis Coach: History? Me: Me: Pie history.

55 @omgcheckplease: Holster: what ever happened to the better bitty's butt thing or whatever? Ransom: oh the bureau? i'm not saying we achieved goals but.

56 @omgcheckplease: *Ahem* Though not much has changed I feel more confident in my assets. It was about bettering the bitty and not the booty all along.

57 @omgcheckplease: Aw, well Ford sent out a lovely email to the boys. She's getting good practice in.

58 @omgcheckplease: By lovely I mean a detailed schedule of dates for spring semester conditioning, but you get me.

59 @omgcheckplease: I've been so focused on the making of pies & jam that I haven't noticed the STORM on the horizon. Hurricane Lardo&Rans are up to something.

60 @omgcheckplease: They're not trying to hide anything from me, but this might have to do with the kegster they're planning. Or Lardo's birthday?

61 @omgcheckplease: Or Rans'--their bdays are so close together. I gotta tie ribbons on a few dozen mason jars, I'll report when Holster spills the beans.

62 @omgcheckplease: I ALMOST JUST DROPPED A JAR OF JAM.

63 @omgcheckplease: Y'all the #EasterKegHunt, the Sunday kegster, and the birthdays are *all ONE THING*

64 @omgcheckplease: =Group Text= Me: When were y'all going to tell me about this GIANT KEGSTER? Rans: I think we did. Lardo: p sure we did Dex: yuuuup

65 @omgcheckplease: Chowder: u guys order the kegs in the kitchen! Holster: Bitty, kinda late, but you've been in a weird jam headspace for the last few days.

66 @omgcheckplease: Okay, Nursey and Dex are downstairs and are going to help me out. I'm so confused.

67 @omgcheckplease: I guess...I did make a lot of jam. It all happened so fast. These can all fit in Jack's car, right? He'd make two trips.

68 @omgcheckplease: I'm going to bake a pie to recalibrate.

69 @omgcheckplease: Jack: How much is there? Me: A few jars! Holster: Jack, we have the highest jam per capita in the state of Massachusetts.

70 @omgcheckplease: Jack: It can't fit in one car? Please send a picture. Lardo: lol bring a friend Lardo:....bring tater

71 @omgcheckplease: I've stepped out the Haus and can see the volume of jam I produced. I should have stuck to the rivers and lakes that I was used to.

72 @omgcheckplease: New Falconers faceoffs for your AM viewing.

73 @omgcheckplease: =On Shorts= Whiskey: Yeah. They don't look good on the average man. Tango: My legs get so hot. Whiskey: Well. Golf & basketball shorts.

74 @omgcheckplease: Whiskey: swim trunks. I guess athletics shorts are fine. Tango: Mosquito bites when you're wearing jeans. Can never really get 'em.

75 @omgcheckplease: Tango: when it comes to clothes, I just wear whatever and go. Whiskey: I'm taking the last pie slice.

76 @omgcheckplease: I have no idea why I love these tadpoles so much, but I do.

77 @omgcheckplease: Waking up to the sound of wheelbarrows and dollies thumping around downstairs. It's #KeagsterSunday.

78 @omgcheckplease: Ah! Guess who's here and brought a friend!

79 @omgcheckplease: Jack just sighed and looked at me. "Hey, Happy Easter. What's the jam situation?" Good morning to you too.

80 @omgcheckplease: He actually said hi though. I'm paraphrasing. He's absolutely not ready though.

81 @omgcheckplease: Tater: Hey, Zimmboni this not bad for uni party hauses, you know? Clean floor... Tater: [points] Wow curtain!

82 @omgcheckplease: The Swallow moves fast, but these hockey players and these mason jars should be out of here soon.

83 @omgcheckplease: But of course Alexei Mashkov wants a TOUR. "College! Yeah, show me everything!"

84 @omgcheckplease: Whiskey and Tango looking very nice in suits. Jack: Hey [picks up box of jam] Whiskey: do you need help with that we can if you do but yeah

85 @omgcheckplease: Tango:...Is Jack Zimmermann stealing Bitty's jam?

86 @omgcheckplease: = Group Text = Nursey: whens the easter keg hunt Lardo: later Jack: hey y'all! You should drop by before Jack and Tater head out!

87 @omgcheckplease: = Group Text = Jack: i'm on Jack's phone. Dex: The y'all sorta tipped it off.

88 @omgcheckplease: Me: So that was *my* room, and this used to be Jack's, and down the hall are the stairs to the attic. Me: Oh hi Rans. Rans: .............T-

89 @omgcheckplease: I think he just woke up.

90 @omgcheckplease: Okay, we're all done here! I was about to put on a brunch for our lovely guests but *somebody* said quote: "Bits, you really don't have to."

91 @omgcheckplease: Well, I was just *trying* to say goodbye to these young men when the door to the backyard opened. It was Lardo.

92 @omgcheckplease: Lardo: Alexei Mashkov. Tater: [turns around slowly] Tater: ... Tater: Lardo.

93 @omgcheckplease: Well, I'm starting brunch while Tater and Lardo sort all this out. Please don't get beer all over my clean floors.

94 @omgcheckplease: *lunch with brunch food. Drat, it's too late for a ham. Well, we can only do our best, can't we?

95 @omgcheckplease: Jack: where's Rans? Holster: Hiding. Holster: Didn't you guys say you were heading out like two hours ago? Jack: Yes.

96 @omgcheckplease: I have no idea how many rounds they've played but Tater is shouting "best 7! best 7!" This food is gonna get cold.

97 @omgcheckplease: Jack keeps asking Lardo and Tater if they want food. Instead, a shout--"Tango, bring me a plate. With food ON IT."

98 @omgcheckplease: From the hallway. "WHAT! NO! No no no! No way!!! Best NINE!!!!!!"

99 @omgcheckplease: Rans & Lardo made an event for a #KeagsterSunday Pre-game Kegster Hunt and and wellies are...beginning to show up. Um?

100 @omgcheckplease: For the record, Tater's playing with water. Lardo's playing with who knows what.

101 @omgcheckplease: Jack: Ok. Let's head out. Tater: Hey, it's fine! I mean, i'm doing better with crowd.

102 @omgcheckplease: All right, Jack's cutting things short. ("COME ON, ZIMMERMANN!" "ZIMMBONI IT'S TIE!!!!" "No. You guys can have a rematch later.")

103 @omgcheckplease: He's serious...

104 @omgcheckplease: Jack went up to the attic to wish his our captain a happy birthday...And they're off. Lardo and Tater are...friends? Colleagues?

105 @omgcheckplease: Oh my goodness. Whenever we decide to name a kegster, something strange is bound to happen. #KeagsterSunday

106 @omgcheckplease: You're not doing college right if you're not finding easter eggs filled with miniature liquor in your backyard.

107 @omgcheckplease: And yes, they do make mini kegs. The frolicking!

108 @omgcheckplease: Ransom: Do you think Tater and Jack will come back? Holster: Um. Holster: Sure, bud.

109 @omgcheckplease: The Group Text Shitty: what the fucking heck is going on in Samwell, Massachusetts.

110 @omgcheckplease: Lardo: i was so close shits

111 @omgcheckplease: Whiskey: It's cool how Jack just drops by whenever. That's alumni relations! Tango: ....Huh...Isn't it because he's--OW.

112 @omgcheckplease: Dex just smacked Tango in the back of the head. It could have been a dance move. It's a kegster, who knows.

113 @omgcheckplease: Tango: ow.........OHh! He wasn't stealing the jam! Haha, wow, I'm glad.

114 @omgcheckplease: Ohhh, *his friend and our captain!

115 @omgcheckplease: New conditioning sched: afternoon practice and afternoon classes mean late night baking and bad habits.

116 @omgcheckplease: There are times when I thrive rising early? (Esp. when it means trying out new things for breakfast.) But other times...well!

117 @omgcheckplease: Despite my team being creatures of habit, we're also college students / love sleeping in. Not natural early birds (well, most of us)!

118 @omgcheckplease: Not sure if y'all remember, but I used to Tweet about Shitty busting in on Jack quite a bit. Those were mornings! Classic #SamwellMensHockey

119 @omgcheckplease: Big game for the Falconers tonight...#GoPVDFalconers!

120 @omgcheckplease: Nervous for hockey. The Falc have been looking so strong this season. Let's go, boys! #GoPVDFalconers

121 @omgcheckplease: Chowder: !!! Is that Shitty and Lardo on the jumbotron??? Chowder: Oh, it's not. Well, I still like those people!

122 @omgcheckplease: Pie's in the kitchen, we're in the den, laptops and textbooks and pies and hockey. Good vibes from here to Providence. #SamwellMensHockey

123 @omgcheckplease: (I have a reading response due in two hours that I should have done over spring break, but c'est la vie. (I remember French!))

124 @omgcheckplease: During commercial breaks, I'm wondering how this TV has managed to survive so many kegsters, even if it's been carefully stowed away.

125 @omgcheckplease: If you remember, Shitty had his door kicked in one year--nothing's safe. But THE GAME.

126 @omgcheckplease: Ugh.

127 @omgcheckplease: They had a good screen on Snowy; he didn't even see the puck.

128 @omgcheckplease: By the way, watching anything with Holster means you're watching something with Holster. "These announcers are Schooner announcers, geez."

129 @omgcheckplease: "I'm telling you, the do more close-ups on Jack than anyone else."

130 @omgcheckplease: "Hey, Rans, it's Tater, the love of your life. For the record, I think Alexei Mashkov thinks my name is Randy and Ransom's name is Adam."

131 @omgcheckplease: "Their power play is killer. OH, Shitty just texted everyone that they're DEFINITELY doing more close ups on Jack. How's that not creepy?!"

132 @omgcheckplease: 1-1 !!!!!!!!!

133 @omgcheckplease: Me: POOTS!!!!! Dex: They don't actually call him that, right? Dex: At least Jack wouldn't-- Dex: I called a guy Shitty for an entire year.

134 @omgcheckplease: Nursey: Kent Parson's been in like 3 commercials since we turned this on.

135 @omgcheckplease: We're all confused by this. Uncanny on a number of levels.

136 @omgcheckplease: Down. Come on, y'all.

137 @omgcheckplease: When it comes to my peach pies, Ransom in part

138 @omgcheckplease: YES

139 @omgcheckplease: Never check on a pie during play because you'll miss your FRIEND SCORING!!!!!!!

140 @omgcheckplease: I need to see that replay 20 more times, so someone better post that online in the next 60 seconds, thanks. #GoPVDFalconers

141 @omgcheckplease: Half of Samwell men's hockey is in the den about to watch this last period of the #GoPVDFalconers game.

142 @omgcheckplease: No shade to Seattle, but they HAVE to lose. (Even though I think #16 for the Schooners is getting a jar of vanilla bean plum from me?)

143 @omgcheckplease: (I have no idea. A Falc owed one gentleman who was roommates w/ another player--I just gave it all to Jack and try not to think about it)

144 @omgcheckplease: Schooners power play. Lord.

145 @omgcheckplease: Come on. I swear this team does better when their backs are to the wall.

146 @omgcheckplease: PLEASE

147 @omgcheckplease: Lardo' s stress snapchats are calming in a time like this.

148 @omgcheckplease: Lord. Another penalty to kill. #GoPVDFalconers

149 @omgcheckplease: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!

150 @omgcheckplease: TATER SHORT-HANDED AAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

151 @omgcheckplease: Oh my god, I'm crying. They could make it. Oh Lord.

152 @omgcheckplease: Watching is one hundred times more stressful than being on the ice.

153 @omgcheckplease: Lord! It's easier to tweet and listen to these boys reactions, haha!

154 @omgcheckplease: mY HEART.

155 @omgcheckplease: Half a dozen teams are already guaranteed a spot in the NHL playoffs. The Falconers just joined them #GoPVDFalconers #PVDFalconers #GoFalcs!

156 @omgcheckplease: = SMH Group Text = Rans: YEAAAAAAAAAAAH Chowder: Jack!!! Dex: CONGRATS, man! Holster: JACK!!! Shitty: WE'RE GETTING DRUNK IN PROVIDENCE

157 @omgcheckplease: = SMH Group Text = Lardo: you did it you did it you did it you did it you did it you did it you did it you did it you did it you did it you

158 @omgcheckplease: He'll smile when he can finally check his phone. :)

159 @omgcheckplease: The little blurb in The Daily on the Falcs!

160 @omgcheckplease: Dear S.O., Wow! It seems as though one of my favorite vocalists/performers has released a clothing line--and my birthday is upcoming!

56: What does your URL mean? >> It was a play on “Lost Carcosa”. It eventually came to just represent... me. Now it’s a brand of sorts, so I am loath to use any other username (save for blackThirteen, which I sometimes use on websites where it’s not already taken by someone else; blackThirteen + foundCarcosa = blackCarcosa, which is what I really should be using, but it’s a little late now).

58: Do you believe in evolution? >> I have been convinced of evolution’s veracity.

59: What makes you unfollow a blog? >> Over a month of inactivity or a change to content that doesn’t interest me are the two main reasons I unfollow. Sometimes I unfollow for things like political platforming or too much unsourced content or having too much of the same kind of content on my dashboard or... any number of reasons, really. Sometimes a person’s opinion (or the way they present their opinion) just pisses me off and I’m not invested enough in the blog to keep them around anyway.

69: What outfit out of all your clothes do you like to wear the most? >> Ghast brand rave pants and a Doctor Strange shirt, it seems.

70: Post a selfie or two? >> http://foundcarcosa.tumblr.com/tagged/this-malleable-shell

71: Do you have platform shoes? >> I don’t.

72: What is one random but interesting fact about yourself? >> I used to be extremely competent at Guitar Hero / Rock Band because back when those games were popular, Best Buy and Circuit City would have stations set up in their stores where you could play them; and because I was homeless and tumblr wasn’t invented to become my biggest timesink yet, I would just stay in the stores playing guitar games all day. So I got good at it. As one does.

73: Can you do a front flip? >> No.

74: Do you like birds? >> Sure.

84: Can you run a mile within ten minutes? >> I can’t run a mile, period.

86: Can you touch your toes and keep your legs straight completely? >> No.

87: What are your birthstones? >> Emerald, I think? I forget the other.

88: If you were an animal, which one would you be? >> *waggles Mordred’s spidery legs*

89: If a flower could aesthetically represent you, what kind would it be? >> Probably a black calla lily.

90: A store you hate? >> Abercrombie and Fitch. Their store is fragranced or something. Like they put cologne swatches in the air ducts. IDFK. It’s aggravating. Also, I hate that kind of fashion.

91: How many cups of coffee can you drink in one day? >> I usually drink zero.

92: Would you rather be able to fly or read minds? >> Flying is more interesting than being Sookie Stackhouse.

105: Do you like spiders? >> My children. <3

106: Something you get paranoid about? >> My physical health, sometimes.

107: Can you draw?: >> I can. I can’t draw well, though.

108: Nosiest question you have ever been asked? >> I don’t know. Nosy questions don’t bother me, though.

110: Ever been bitten by a spider? >> Not that I’m aware of.

111: Do you like the sound of waves at the beach? >> Oh, yes.

112: Do you prefer cloudy or sunny days? >> It depends on how I feel that day in general. Either is good, but sometimes one is definitely better than the other.

121: Sweet or sour foods? >> Savoury, spicy, sour. Sweetness only as a balancing agent.

122: Bright or dim lights? >> Dim and diffuse, always.

123: Do you believe in a certain magical creature? >> I am open to all experiences.

124: Something you hate about Tumblr: >> The poor functionality bits. Coding issues, inefficiency in design, stuff I can’t do anything about because I don’t work there.

126: What do you think about the least? >> How would I know?

127: What would you want written on your tombstone? >> I am not interested in a tombstone at all.

128: Who would you like to punch in the face right now? >> Someone sexy who had a kink for being punched in the face.

129: What is something you love but also hate about yourself? >> The fact that I am so easily bored and so interested in experience leads to interesting experiences and a tendency to be open to new things... but sometimes it just leads to recklessness and irritability.

145: Are you androgynous? >> More or less.

153: Do you like to play with others’ hair? >> That used to be a big stim of mine, but Tommy, my first boyfriend, broke me out of that pretty badly and I never got back into it. It’s like a mental block now. Aggravating.

I lost my shit in the middle of “Black” and the only reason I remember is because I thought to myself, fucking hell, some tumblr survey is going to ask me about the last time I cried and I’m gonna have to tell the congregation that I cried because I love Eddie Vedder too much and I started laughing like an idiot.

162: Do you have long or short hair? >> Short. Very short.

163: Longest your hair has ever been: >> To my shoulders, I think, as a child. Not including weaves, braids, and so on.
