15 Questions & 15 Mutuals

Tagged by @pixlerelish 😘

1) Are you named after anyone? Kind of? My maiden middle name was Marie which is also my mom's middle name, but I changed it to my maiden last name when I got married.

2) When is the last time you cried? I think the question is when am I not crying? I cry so much I literally can't keep track. Probably this week at some point I cried. By the way, it's only Tuesday as I'm writing this.

3) Do you have kids? I do not. I'm not gonna go into the whole thing with kids and why it should be socially acceptable to not continuously ask people when they're going to have kids/why they don't have kids. It's weird. Just stop it.

4) Do you use sarcasm a lot? With people I'm really close with, yes, sometimes. I hate when people are sarcastic with me though, so I try not to be unless the context of the situation is lighthearted and fun.

5) What’s the first thing you notice about people? I don't really pay attention to what I notice about people when I meet them, but I'm just gonna go with their eyes.

6) What’s your eye color? Green!

7) Scary movie or happy ending? Happy ending always. I hate scary movies.

8) Any special talents? Crying over men who will never know I exist.

9) Where were you born? The land where palm trees sway... Florida. I was born in Florida.

10) Do you have any hobbies? I have a hobby about once every few months that I am overly excited about for like a week before I get bored with it and never go back to it again.

11) Do you have any pets? Two golden retrievers: Lola & Gracie 🐶

12) What sports are/have you played? I played soccer a looonnnggg time ago and I think that's the last time I played a sport. I took tennis as a class in high school, but that was just to get an easy A.

13) How tall are you? 5'6"

14) What’s your favorite subject in school? When I *was* in school I always liked the elective classes. I took Marine Bio in high school and it was one of the best classes I've ever taken. As far as regular classes go, I'd say English/Writing class was my favorite. I love expressing words and feelings through writing and I've been told almost my whole life that I'm pretty ok at it. As far as college classes go, criminology classes all the way. It's what I majored in and I found most of them so interesting.

15) Dream job? I don't think I've ever had a dream job, but if I had to choose it would be something in Forensics. I got my master's degree in forensic science because I was influenced by The Staircase on Netflix. Highly recommend.

I'm tagging @lephantomdelioncourt again because I have no friends on here and now you HAVE to do this because both me and @pixlerelish said you have to 💜 (I'm sorry if you've done this one already. I honestly can't keep up). K, love you!

So, let's do more controversal ones: JayTalia, SladeDick, JayRoman

1) JayTalia

Emphatic yes. I don't care what fandom says about the ending of Lost Days. You can ignore it, you know! Pick and choose your canon.

I tend to waver between ignoring it and not. Ignoring because frankly, it's pushing Talia into "yes Jason take revenge on Bruce!!!" mindset kinda out of nowhere. Of it supposed to be in the aftermath of Death and the Maidens, you can honestly just have her hurting and seeking human connection while subconsciously not allowing herself be vulnerable. Voila, sex. It's not, like, the most romantic or healthy thing ever but that's how sex is sometimes.

And Jason is going through some stuff, too. It also doesn't have to be about Bruce.

All in all, Winnick is describing Jason as someone not interested in sex (sex with women in particular) which is more or less how I read him. Having this as his only sex scene is honestly important to me and how I headcanon his portrayal as asexual*.

People who go: she raped him! You can go and fuck off. Neither of them was of a great mental state, true, and it had been ill-advised, maybe. But he's over eighteen. And he has full mental faculties. Thanks to Talia, by the way.

There's not one moment where she manipulated him with her evil viles, okay? You guys can go ahead to headcanoning "Lazarus Pit made him do it".

*how does asexuality meshes with it? So: 1) it's a spectrum 2) sometimes ace ppl still enjoy sex to some degree 3) honestly if it's the first and only time they have sex ever over the course of their relationship, nothing wrong with that either

People who go: but she's his mom! Uhh not really? I mean, it's fine if it's your headcanon. And I love those joking posts that go "Jason is Talia's favourite kid". But. No, he isn't, actually. Even if she did spend a lot of time taking care of him while he had been offline, and helped him to get on his feet after.

I do think that it forged an unbreakable bond between them. I do think that Jason just has to be in awe of her. I do think that she has to be fond of him. I do think that she, Jason and Damian could be a really fun family unit to explore. My fav AU of them is where they leave the League and just fuck off to the middle of Bumfuck, Minnesota, to raise Damian like a normal kid, in safety, which they both lacked. And at first, they're like, fake marriage AU where it's a cover. But with time, it becomes reality.

For a more familial relationship, I prefer Jason staying with Talia and Damian in the League. Adopting Heretic name (because a) no test tube brothers for Damian to take this moniker and b) Jason becoming an assassin is hersey to what Batman taught him). Being Damian's bodyguard/teacher, or Talia SiC.

I also do love to think about an AU where Damian has to team-up with Jason to save Talia and it kills him to acknowledge a bond between his mother and Todd, and his own bond with Todd that goes beyond their father.

I also like to think about an AU one-shot where Talia is raising Damian in Metropolis, across them there's a new neighbor, a very cool woman she would like to become friends with, Nyssa. And Jason is, like, studying in college in Metropolis and sometimes he drops by, and if Talia had a difficult day at the office, she would rant to him while he's massaging her feet or something. Jason, in turn, would vent that college is not everything he thought it would be. They would drink white wine and eat pizza and watch sitcoms.

I am sorry. I just. I love them.

2) SladeDick

No. No shade on fans but it personally makes my skin crawl. Whereas I am pretty okay with SladeJay, for example.

Mostly it's because most of what I have seen of Sladick is with Renegade!Dick, and you gotta seriously fuck Dick in his brain in a very no-fun way. Which may be an interesting thing to explore, to some people. But Dick is one of those characters, for me, where I can't read whump with them. I had read whump with him and I haven't regretted anything so much. Maybe Tim whump.

whump and sladick is inherently connected in my mind and thus, I cannot stand it.

3) RomanJay

Now, you may thing those two are similar with previous two. But there's one aspect that makes me really interested.

Here, potentially, any whump can result in Jason killing the shit out of Roman, and that will be satisfying to read.

I am also glad that Jason gets to have a villain obsessed with him as everyone else. And I honestly respect those romanjay writers that I know. But if it's not a revenge porn (not like Roman leaking Jason's photos, that's traumatic; but Jason defeating Roman and spitting at his proverbial grave or something) I won't be interested.

#jaytalia #sladick #jayroman #Send me a ship and I'll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it #ask meme

re: that post about weird little girl traits, i have to make a separate post to talk about how weird i was as a kid bc there's so much in terms of personality and also isolated incidents that were symptomatic of weirdgirl syndrome, and i'm obsessed w analyzing my former self like a germ under a michael scope..

starting w repeating my tag on that post: for several months i regularly (not all the time, but frequently) drew a mole on my lip and spoke in an incredibly shitty (bc i was seven) english accent and insisted that i was my evil twin olivia. when i was in olivia mode i would only respond to olivia, never my actual name.

also on the subject of names: for a while in elementary school i decided that i didn't like my name (or my dad) and didn't want to write it on school papers, so i wrote my middle name (which my mom wanted to be my first name) and my mom's maiden name instead.

i took swimming lessons with two teachers, a woman and a man, and i called them mommy and daddy

the first full sentence that i spoke aloud was "father, i don't particularly prefer what mother has prepared for dinner this evening." this is 100% true and both of my parents will back me up on it.

i taught myself to read when i was three and it's all been downhill since then, tbh. related: i skipped kindergarten and then my first grade teacher sometimes let me do the read aloud for the class bc i hated being read to i thought it was patronizing and i was a bitch about it. also related: i can't not mention the fact that i was six years old when i first read jane eyre and i imprinted on the book and on her as a character like a tiny baby duckling.

when we had to write creative fiction in class i wrote a story about Dictionary Brown, girl cousin of Encyclopedia Brown. it was very my immortal, though of course not nearly on the same level. she lived in hawaii and the first and only mystery she took on was when a badger with rainbow fur washed up on the beach (alive) and she had to get to the bottom of where it came from. she did not get to the bottom of it.

when we were eight, my brother and i decided to write a novel together. it was about twelve-year-old twin sisters who were princesses and they had a brother who was two years old, and their dad, the king, was old and dying but he was a misogynist so he refused to let his (very mature and capable, to us, bc we were eight) daughters succeed him but the baby was too little so there was a regent but ofc he was straight up evil. so our intrepid preteen heroes had to go on a quest to find their mom, bc that makes sense. also they kidnapped the baby and took him along for the ride.

this one needs backstory, so. my mom had my oldest brother in 1994 and wanted another kid as soon as possible but it was really difficult and she had multiple miscarriages and then one baby who was stillborn before she had me, the miracle child who survived a whole entire pregnancy. and she was very open about this when we were growing up, so i knew that i could have had a sister (i couldn't have really, bc if she was alive then i wouldn't have been conceived, the timing doesn't line up but i didn't know that, i just knew i wanted a sister and my mom almost had another girl before me) anyway the Point of this all is that my "imaginary friend" as a child was literally the ghost of my dead sister. and i told people about her whenever i could.

every time i saw a dead bird or mouse or whatever outside i wanted to hold a funeral and bury it. usually an adult was there to tell me we were not going to do that, but i got away with actually doing it once, when i was like nine (old enough that i could go outside without direct supervision) and i buried a bird in our "Front Garden" which was a small rectangle of dirt next to our front steps. i did not bury it deep enough, and the smell was simply abhorrent.

i made witch soups outside, obviously, but i also made witch soups inside. like, actual soups made from food items, but without any knowledge of or regard for what would make it "Good." the most memorable one was made from chicken broth, sriracha, peanut butter, pickles, peas, and a garnish of chives and clover, both of which were pulled from the ground and unwashed. i did not eat the soup.

i was so pedantic and stubborn that my fourth grade teacher told me i should be a lawyer (derogatory) and when we did little mock debates in sixth grade social studies i argued that banning skateboards and roller skates and the like from downtown sidewalks would set off a domino effect that would lead to many people dying, and my poor teacher cut the debate short and gave me the victory over my poor classmate bc, quote, "we're running out of time and [me, peej] is giving me a headache"

in the eighth grade (i was Twelve Years Old.) i asked for a small stuffed monkey for my birthday. he was maybe eight inches from head to toe, and i made him a little crown and brought him to school and sat him on the corner of my desk during every class and i made my classmates refer to him as Prince Steve. again, this was mere months before i started high school.

#long post #ok to rb #neurodivergent kid things lol #theres a few things i know need tagging but idk the exact terms so if you have a different word or phrase blacklisted im sorry #and please lmk so i can tag that instead! but for now the tags im going with are:#animal death /#miscarriage /#stillbirth /#morbid /#food /

Rules: Answer 10 questions, tag 10 people and make another 10 questions.🧜‍♀️

Questions from my astrological twin: @maiden-song 💕

1. if you could choose to glimpse the afterlife, would you?

Yes, I would. I think a lot about It.

2. under what circumstances do you think you past life was lived?

I could have had many past lifes. I think I was a native american, cause I've always felt bonded to their tradicion and same with China, cause when I hear the sound of Erhu - traditional chinese instrument, something wakes up in me. I've also always wanted to see Sweden & Finland, so maybe I was doing something there... I mean, I could do anything. I see myself in biblical times, as well as middle ages. I could be a renaissance artist, as well as dying of hunger during victorian era, or something, and that's probably why I'm still careful with money, haha. For my latest one, I think I could have been a hippie in the 60/70s and had some drug use experience, cause when I was a child I used have dreams about taking drugs, even if I didn't know anything about It. I also had some experience with psychics (and "psychics"), my mom had a past life regression and she told me she saw me few times... I don't take anything for granded, but reincarnation is one of my favourite theories.

3. what three skills would you instantly master if you had the choice?

Playing every instrument, speaking every language, singing beautifully

4. would your rather no passion or no pain?

No pain. Everything is needed in life, but you know, enough is enough.

5. if you had a chance to leave this world and go to another one, would you take it?

Depends of the world and who I would meet there. Even if this world can be cruel and disappointing at times, I still have some love for him and humanity.

6. if you could smell like anything in the world, what would it be?

Like the first day of spring, when you go outside and the air smells different. Or a storm.

7. do you feel like common interests or philosophical comparability are not important?

They are very important. I can't imagine a relationship without similar interests, views. You either get bored or fight constantly. I think that the whole point of searching a partner is trying to find things you got in common. The more similar you are, the more understood you feel and more you are attracted to them. That's my experience at least. That's a very basic example, but as you may noticed, I'm very much into music and I was dating a guy, who wasn't into music that much at all. I thought It doesn't matter at first, but then I started feeling like I'm missing my favourite way to connect with other person. Once I met a guy who loved music as much as I do, I'm sorry to admit It, but my partner became unattractive to me.

Similar interests and views are needed at the beginning, to bond with somebody, and later, to simply enjoy spending time together (thanks Captain Obvious). I mean... chemistry and good will are not enough for a relationship to last. Don't get me wrong, I don't think you have to be identical and agree on everything - some differences can be inspiring, balance your relationship and teach you something new. It's also ok and even needed, to have some separate hobbies, things that you like to do on your own. There are also other important things, like, if you equally care about each other and if you are on the same page in general, but I can't imagine not agreeing in the key points and things that are the most important to you. And the only person who can decide what is the most important is the person who is in that relationship, no matter if It's about interests, philosophy or religion. But beside a romantic relationship, I think It's good to be surrounded by different people and listen what they got to say.

8. if there was one mystery you alone could learn the answer too, what would it be?

The mystery of life in general. Why we are here, is there any destiny, how we are connected, how this universe works, what happens after death...

9. in your opinion, is there anything more important than love?

No :) (I'm not talking about putting your relationship before other things. I'm talking about love as a big force and meaning of this universe)

10. describe a new planet you would live on, if you could.

I want things to be diverse, monumental... Maybe another moon, why not. As a concept of the world, I wish there would be peace :) everybody has their safe place to live, will to live, passion, purpose, someone to love and who loves them back. Amen.

Questions from @mybloodiedvalentine 💕👯

1. What is an unpopular opinion you hold you about which you feel strongly and with which you seem to notice a lot of people disagree?

Nothing specific comes to my mind at the moment (that I haven't mentioned before). I sure have some, but what's unpopular opinion in general and what's unpopular opinion on tumblr, are two different things. Maybe, that the "tumblr positivity" is not really helpful. Like: "in case you need to hear this: you are smart, you are loved... ". How do you know that? Those are just empty words. But It's better to spread positivity than negativity, of course.

2. What is the nicest thing a stranger has ever told you that you can recall?

Oh, I had a few situations like that... This is so lovely, when a stranger wants to just be genuinely nice, not just catcalling you...For example, when I was with my 3 girlfriends at the club and 2 ladies in their 40s where like: "excuse me, we just wanted to say that we can't stop starring at you all, cause you are the priettiest girls in the club." And we were like: aww, omg, you are beautiful too, come dance with us. And we were all dancing in our witches circle ignoring all sweaty men around us, haha. Or when my mom went to the the same hair saloon as me and asked hair dresser if she remembers me and she said that she does and that I'm nice and intelectual. I'm her faithful client now ;_; (Sorry for sucking my own dick, but It was nice to remind myself about these situations).

3. Has a piece of art or music ever made you cry? If so, do you remember a specific moment?

Crying to music is my passion. The latest intense moment was few days ago. I was loading a dishwasher at night and I played some music and then "lover you should've come over" by Jeff Buckley came on and sudden wave of lonelliness hit me so hard, that I just had to put down the plate, hide my face in my hands and weep ✌

4. What’s your favourite piece of clothing?

Idk, maybe my Penny Lane coat :)

5. What’s a random childhood memory that fills you with a deep sense of comforting nostalgia?

Sledding with kids during a very cold winter in my home town, until It got dark and snow looked like sprinkled with glitter and having my freezed feet warmed up with a hair dryer, when I came back home, haha.

6. What is/was your favourite thing about your mom? If not your mom, your dad? Or best friend?

My favourite thing about my mom is that she's tolerant and open minded. I didn't have to lie to her or pretend I'm someone I'm not because of that. My favourite thing about my dad is that he actually cared about being a parent, even tho my parents divorced. I respect that he has unwavering morals and huge knowledge about a world - biology, astronomy, music, art...- subject doesn't matter- but he is very modest about It.

7. What’s something you learned on your own of which you’re proud?

Playing guitar

8. When was a moment in your life you remember laughing the hardest?

I was playing cards since I was a kid. After few years, when I was about 13 y. o. I got the first poker, a royal flush. When I saw my cards, I'm not sure why, I just coudn't believe my luck, I started laughing so hard I almost died.

9. What do you like to do when you’re having a hard time mentally that invariably calms you down?

Really depends of the kind of situation and if It's triggered by something or just a longer period of time feeling in a certain way. The is no a magic trick, but some things might be helpful. When It's concrete situation, at first, when the feelings are really intense, then I just can't calm down. Every try to do so, has a reverse effect. Like, I CAN'T THE FUCK CALM DOWN and It makes me even more angry. Brain needs about 20 min to chill, if It's not triggered, so It's better to be left alone and just go mad a little until brain will have enough haha. Have a good cry, listen to some music, have a lonely walk, write my feelings down etc.

I like to listen to Teal Swan on youtube. She's a spiritual teacher. I know, It might not sound encouragingly, but she actually seems very down to earth. She has a video about like, every emotion and every problem ever. She's very good in naming feelings, rationalizing them and It makes you feel more understood. And It calms me down as result. ASMR doesn't work for me, but I remember that at some point I liked to listen to sounds of the nature, like rain, waves etc + guided meditation to fall asleep.

Music always helps in general - listening, playing guitar, singing. I also like to take an oil and do a face massage. I'm really sorry if I sound like an instagram influencer 🤢, but when you feel bad for a longer time, you frown and there is a tention in your jaw, it can be really relieving. I follow instructional videos on yt.

When I have a longer period of going into downward spiral, then every way to distract my brain is good - TV shows, internet content that is not related to my life situation (although, sometimes It's good to distance yourself from social media), for example, I like criminal podcasts, cause they are occupying enough to distract a miserable brain, meeting somebody, going to a place I've never been before. + any kind of shedule, reason to leave the house, any goal, anything positive to look forward to and having even the simplest things done, is a blessing (even if sometimes It's the last thing I wanna do). I also tend to be much sadder in the evening, so I just go to sleep. When nothing works, then It's time for the professional help.

10. Do you have a favourite holiday memory?

Discovering Cocteau Twins.

Best regards if u actually read all that chatter, but those questions were so interesting, that I couldn't limit myself to one sentence answer (in most cases).

My questions are:

1. Who or what was the most influential for your music taste?

2. If you could time travel, where and when would you like to go first?

3. If you could be someone from an opposite gender for a day, how would you like to look like and what would you do?

4. Do you have a style icon/inspiration? Or a favourite designer? Desribe your dream clothing style

5. What's the song by a band/artist from your country that you could recommend? (From your hometown or state eventually)

6. What is the most rebellious thing you've ever done?

7. Has ever something in your life happened, that you coudn't explain with logic?

8. What 5 objects someone could use to summon you?

9. What is your favourite name from your culture's language? And outside your culture's language?

10. What's a song you normally wouldn't admit you like or different from music that you usually listen, but still enjoy?

I tag: @winterdryad @bowiepop @nightmare @confusion-in-the-sea-of-sorrow @l0w-budget @numberoneblind @mirandasinclairs @mysticbride @leperwitch @comeacrossthedesertnoshoeson @hexafu @mielmelancolie @arcane-delight
