Basic Character Notes:

Name: Abigail Jane Anderson Nickname: Ab; only call her Abigail if you want to find yourself in a fight Date of Birth: April 2, 1999 Age: 23 Occupation: Actress

On A Need to Know Basis:

Some would say that I’m Easy Going, Protective, and Confident, while others could think that I’m Impatient, Blunt, and Stubborn.

Collecting the names of her two grandmothers, Abigail Jane Anderson was born the youngest of their little family of superstars. She took her first steps on the set of her mother’s talk show, spoke her first word on Nicole Kidman’s lap (that first word being ‘Harry’ after being fascinated by the handlebar mustache Jim Broadbent had to wear on Moulin Rouge), and successfully used a toilet on her own in a fake bathroom on a soundstage. If you had asked her where the industry ended and the real world began, she would not have been able to tell you. And if she was being honest, she was quite happy with her reality.

Her parents, however, were hesitant about letting her take a more active role in that part of their world. In the midst of child stars, particularly female child stars having to live up to more and more impossible standards and scrutiny, Marcus and Elaine wanted to shield their daughter as much as possible. As she would grow older, Ab would start to question whether it was for her own protection or the protection of the Anderson name, but she digresses.

Despite their best efforts, accidents do happen. And by accident, it is meant that Ab was maybe a little too comfortable with her little world. A five year old Ab Anderson one day found herself on an adventure, walking off the set of her mother’s talk show to the soundstage next door, where multiple living room sets and a shabby looking cobblestone wall covered in vines were awaiting the soap opera stars that would grace them. The director found her and walked her back to Elaine. In the midst of relieved and earnest thanks, Elaine found herself agreeing to allow Ab to appear on the show to fill a last minute cancellation. And with that, the young actress found herself in her first role, a two-episode appearance on All My Children.

There was a large gap between her first role and her second, nearly eight years, where she was encouraged to focus on schooling. She became quite a well read kid, able to pass her classes in a breeze. It suited her just fine, it gave her more time to focus on the things she actually enjoyed, like her acting classes and perfecting the bass playing she’d picked up by the time she was seven. When she was 13, she convinced her parents to let her start auditioning. She supposed her name helped, but regardless, she managed to land a regular role on Gary Unmarried.

Since then, she’s managed to keep regular work in both tv and film, most notably as Claire Novak in Supernatural, Alex in Paranormal Activity 4, Ally Pressman in The Society, Abigail Carson in Big Little Lies, Lucy Stevens in Pokemon Detective Pikachu, Millie in Freaky, and most recently, Margaret in The Map of Tiny Perfect Things. On the side, she likes to play bass whenever she can, filling in gigs for her friends or vibing on live streams.

Personality: Despite her star, Ab likes to stay away from the spotlight as much as she can. She never wanted to act for the fame, the family she was born in did that enough for her, it was a simple grace that she happened to be as passionate about it as the rest of her family. But those who get to know her can see the laid back, fun loving and sweet girl underneath. She has little time for bullshit, though. Insult her, her family, or anyone she’s close to, and she will bite back; harder, usually.

CONNECTIONS:

CASPAR ANDERSON (Brother): A pain in the ass, but her pain in the ass. If there was anyone she considered a best friend, it was Cas. He’s the first person to know what’s happening in her life, sometimes the only person to know. He supports her no matter what, but also won’t hesitate to call her out when he knows that she’s being an idiot, and she won’t hesitate to do the same for him. She’s his biggest fan. Most people are confused to find out they’re not actually twins, with how in sync they actually are with each other.

MARCUS & ELAINE ANDERSON (Parents): Ab loves her parents and her family, and even the life that she grew up in. However, there’s always been a small point of contention that stemmed from the differences they would treat her and her career and how they would treat Caspar’s. Their attempts to shield her from the toxicity of the industry was often construed as a lack of belief in her ability. There was an expectation that came from her last name, and coming from two superstars of the entertainment industry, that is not a feeling to take lightly. But as she gained more roles and settled into her career, that feeling faded.

MARK NEWMAN (Good Friend): The Luke to her Lorelai, Mark has become one of her dearest friends. As a regular explorer of the city, when she saw a new bakery crop up, she had to try it immediately. It quickly became her favorite place. She comes in every morning she can with an empty mug and a smile, waiting for a specialty scone and the company that comes with it. Her larger world seems to melt away in that little bakery.

15 Questions to Get to Know me Better

1. What is your favorite food and beverage?

Catupiry and chicken pizza with Coca-Cola (or Guaraná Antarctica, I keep going back and forth between the two). Any kind of pasta (or carbs, really). I’m also a salty, sour and spicy food enthusiast.

2. What is currently your favorite fandom?

Inuyasha. I know it sounds contradictory, considering how unhinged the fandom has been since the sequel was annouced. And I debated for good five minutes if I should just answer “Inukag” instead, because it’s the part of the fandom I engage with the most.

But despite how much the fandom has changed (not for the better) there are other aspects of it, other than Inukag, that I really love, so it didn’t feel right to reduce it to Inukag, even though they are the main reason I’m here.

The Inuyasha fandom was the first I wrote fanfiction for. And I love the events we create, the fanworks, the friends I made here. From all the fandoms I’ve been a part of, it was by far the one that gave me more reasons to leave but at the same time it was the one I simply couldn’t quit.

3. What shows are you currently watching?

None. Professional life has been overwhelming and I’m not really in the place to start a new show, so I just rewatch the ones I love. Again. For comfort and white noise. Today was Jane The Virgin day.

I’m also trying to catch up with the ones that are still running, like Brooklyn Nine-Nine (this new season is on fire, by the way). The last “new” show I started was Community and I was loving it. Hope to get back to it soon and finish the whole thing.

4. What’s your strength?

Interesting question. Gotta go with kindness for this one. At least that’s what I try to be.

5. What’s your weakness?

Oh, boy. Where to begin? I’m egocentric. I’m anxious. I have the attention spam of a golden fish. I tend to avoid conflict at all costs and sometimes people walk all over me for it. I’m a procrastinator who is also somehow a perfectionist. Low self steem, intimacy issues: you pick one.

6. Pet peeves?

Well, I feel like people who lick their fingers to turn over a page are attacking me, personally, and should all rot in jail. They don’t belong in society and never will.

7. What’s your ideal type?

Must make me laugh, must see me at my worst and still want to be with me. I love being on my own, so my ideal type is someone I enjoy being around as much as I enjoy being by myself. Or even more. Also, kids are a deal breaker because I don’t want any. And our political instances have got to align, at least in some key issues.

8. The last food you ate?

Cuscuz and scrambled eggs, dinner of the champions.

9. Favorite animes?

Inuyasha

Yu-Gi-Oh!

Dragon Ball

Pokemon

I know! I’m pretty basic, anime wise. And chances are I’m gonna keep it that way for now.

10. Regular pastimes or hobbies?

Writing, reading, blaming capitalism for all of my problems.

11. Favorite characters?

Dude. It’s impossible to list everyone. I’ll keep it simple and stick with the characters I’m currently more invested in.

Inuyasha and Kagome.

Zuko and Katara.

12. All-time favorite show?

A hard one, but the answer couldn’t be different. I have yet to watch something better than The Good Place.

There’s no such thing as perfection, especially when it comes to tv shows, but to me it is the one that gets closer.

It was both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Funny, fresh, beautifully written. The cast was talented and diverse. The characters were unique, relatable and flawed. Their development was substancial and satisfatory, not only as individuals but also with each other.

I keep coming back to it whenever I need comfort. Or to restaure my faith in humanity. I have no doubt we witnessed the creation of a timeless, iconic show.

13. What are you doing right now?

Listening to music, replying to this ask game and trying to get some work done.

14. How are you?

Ordinarily okay. Like, as okay as one can be as a 24 years old in this time and place. Everything feels urgent and unimportant, hopeful and hopeless at the same time. It’s like I’m watching my life pass by as I wait for it to click together.

Physically, I’m just getting over a little bit of a cold. Mentally, I like to think I’m doing fine. Totally clueless, yes, but I’m really trying to do my thing and become the person I aspire to be.

There are so many things to be grateful for, even if not everything is how I wished it was. I’m just trying to focus on the good for now.

15. Favorite rest time activities?

Sleeping after daydreaming about super vivid scenarios, mostly about fictional characters, that will either never happen or leave me alone unless I write them down. Going to the beach. Listening to music. Watching movies, tv shows or football games. Haging out with my family. Scrooling through Tumblr. Check out number 10 for more.

@higurashi-shrine this got really long and really personal, so I just decided to make my own post rather than pilling up on the original. Hope it’s cool. And thank you so much for tagging me. I loved reading your replies!

ANYONE WHO HAS READ IT THIS FAR: YOU ARE NOW OFFICIALLY TAGGED TO REPLY THIS GAME YOURSELF. I MEAN IT. TAG ME SO I CAN READ YOUR REPLIES AND GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER!

What do you identify as and what are your pronouns?

I’m even a little shaken by a questioning state right now but for a while I’ve felt the best fit is the androgynous label -- I read a description of it being the purple on a pink to blue scale, both at once but not specifically either one, and something else by itself. I’m also happy with a cryptic masculine grey area. My pronouns are he/him.

How did you discover your sexuality, tell your story?

During the Puberty 1.0 nightmare, I was basically living someone else’s life, and any attraction I felt wasn’t in relation to myself. I felt disconnected from my body and gender and everything too, and I felt a lot of social pressure to experience a certain type of attraction, fit into a certain role, et cetera, and none of these feelings existed in me at all, so I used to identify as ace. When I realized I was trans, I was too caught up in the, transition safely, my life is a lie, stopping dysphoria drama to focus on this, but I had an idea I might be a gay guy judging from my gay creative writing until I caught feelings for a girl and realized this wasn’t the first time that had happened. Some bi positivity and nonbinary rage later, I am reminded that gender is a joke.

Have you experienced being misgendered? What happened and how did you overcome it?

Yes of course A LOT. Starting with my parents, who do it aggressively and maliciously. And plenty from strangers and customers, mostly after hearing my voice pre-transition. It used to hurt terribly because I was dealing with so much other stuff at the time, and one little thing could be the last straw, so I used to react strongly and harshly, to people you express yourself to anyway. On T, I’ve been so much more chill and confident, and it’s less painful to accept that some people just don’t know any better, although that doesn’t change its effect.

Who was the first person you told, how did they react?

I don’t remember, I think it was a high school friend. I vaguely remember texting someone in a bathroom during a crying session at work. My high school friends were all warm and supportive.

Describe what it was like coming out, what did you feel?

It was scary as hell. I’m sure coming out (with your gender specifically) is scary by nature because it’s a huge truth to be telling that can really change how the people you love perceive you, for better or for worse, but for me, I’m also thinking with the dread and certainty that my family would be too conservative and potentially dangerous. Coming out to my family was one of the worst, most painful things I’ve ever been through -- being kicked out and laughed at, a lot of drama, confrontations, Bible readings and being ganged up on at odd hours, trying to comfort my mom who took it as her personal failure -- I was shaking with adrenaline 24/7. I think of the “I’ll suffer through anything as long as it has meaning” comment that was about angsty fanfics, but knowing the truth about myself was a source of unshakable strength and it felt refreshing and even triumphant to say, like I was giving myself permission to exist for the first time. I came out a bunch of times, though...

If you’re out, how did your parents/guardians/friends react?

My family reacted mostly badly, my sister is a little confused but has the spirit, and my friends have been wonderful.

What is one question you hate people asking about your sexuality?

It’s more of a gender thing, but I hate it when people imply that I shouldn’t be on T or are subtly trying to talk me out of it with their questions. After all the disrespectful as fuck bullshit I heard from my parents, I’m tired of this.

Describe the style of clothing that you most often wear.

Zombie apocalypse denim? Gay Layers

Who are your favourite lgbt+ ships?

I’m not really emotionally invested in these “ships” you cool kids are talking about. I like canon, age-appropriate ones.

What does makeup mean to you? Do you wear any?

I’ve never really worn makeup. I brazenly never bothered to growing up, and if it had an effect on me socially, I was too tuned out to care. My sister always wanted to do my hair and makeup, but I wasn’t interested and wouldn’t let her, much to her frustration. I wore some for a musical once though, and I had no idea what I was doing and it was extremely uncomfortable. I felt what I know now is dysphoria and ended up using the lipstick to draw. Another aspect to this is my family forbade it (or my dad made the decision for everyone), not that it made my sister feel less pressured to wear it, so maybe it was some female presentation I could easily get out of. For that reason, I don’t have super strong feelings about it. Not understanding it probably resulted in me feeling left out a lot among my peers.

Do you experience dysphoria? If so, how does that affect you?

Yes. Before my realization, it was a numb horror I wasn’t consciously aware of, ruining nice things growing up to the point where I feel like I missed out on being a teenager. I remember it as feeling nauseous while sitting in a corner, feeling like none of my clothes ever fit for some mysterious reason. Living with my family in the closet, it defined my life, and I was obsessed with my presentation. These days, it does not bother me on that level at all, except a minor freakout now and then if I get really wild and wear feminine clothes. Or I still feel it in more subtle ways, when I default to customer service voice, or when guys my age are twice my height and I look aaaall the way up at them and wonder what gender they see me as.

What is the stupidest thing you’ve heard said about the lgbt+ community?

Trust me, I have heard truck loads of dumb shit and the winner is the Gay Agenda is R****a’s propaganda to weaken the integrity of North America. Considering what is happening over there, it was enragingly stupid.

What’s your favourite thing about the lgbt+ community?

I feel like I can be myself around lgbt+ people. I don’t feel like I have to hide stuff or put on a show, and I’m not afraid because it’s familiar territory.

What’s your least favourite thing about the lgbt+ community?

Aside from obvious problems like TERFs, ace discourse. Ace people are part of the community if they want to be and that’s enough on that, my skin is already breaking out.

Have you ever been to your cities pride event? Why or why not?

I finally went to a Pride event this year! I was surprised it was the first one I’d been to, then remembered my parents discouraged me from going anywhere, never mind to a gay where.

Who is your favourite lgbt+ Icon/Advocate/Celebrity?

I can’t think of many people right now, but Leslie Feinberg seems awesome, and some quotes from Stone Butch Blues are very validating.

Have you been in a relationship and how did you meet?

No. Technically I have been in one, but it was shitty and ridiculous, and basically platonic, and I don’t want it to count.

What is your favourite lgbt+ book?

I barely read… I read Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe in high school and it was honestly so precious.

Have you ever faced discrimination? What happened?

Yes. I got kicked out (but then kicked back in again), had my stuff stolen and damaged, was verbally harassed… and I was indirectly fired by an employer, but We Will Never Know Why...

Your Favorite lgbt+ movie or show?

Queer Eye! I don’t know of many though, and some important ones, I just haven’t watched.

Who are some of your favourite lgbt+ bloggers?

My mutuals :D

Which lgbt+ slur do you want to reclaim?

I’m okay calling myself queer.

Have you ever gone to a gay bar, or a drag show, how was it?

No, but I did see some drag performances at the one (1) Pride event I went to, and they were jaw-dropping.

How do you self-identify your gender, and what does that mean to you?

I’m not sure what this question means, but I decide what fits right by what makes me feel the most alive and emotionally real and in the moment. What makes me feel the most attractive to be honest. There’s a post about dysphoria I saw going around, the things on it are basically what I use to figure things out.

Are you interested in having children? Why or why not?

I am actually! Not anytime soon, but I’m the responsible type for sure, and judging by the way I love growing plants and being around animals, I’m probably a nurturing person. I actually like kids too, lol, they’re just so high-energy.

What identity advice would you give your younger self?

You’re a boy. Go!

What do you think of gender roles in relationships?

I think people are going to have different ways of expressing themselves that make them happy, but… I don’t think they should infringe on basic human decency. When I hear “role” I think of acting a certain way because someone told you to, something I want to disagree with on the spot.

Anything else you want to share about your experience with gender?

People move out of my way on the sidewalk and take me seriously now. Privilege or self-confidence… I never want to forget what it used to be like, or get too entitled.

What is something you wish people know about being lgbt+?

That it’s simply living one’s reality. I think that trips up a lot of straight people -- that some people just come like this, and they don’t have to make it fit into their personal identity.

Why are proud to be lgbt+?

Because I worked hard to be alive and happy right now. I’m proud of choosing to get through those rough patches, take care of myself, heal, take walks, cook breakfast, learn healthy coping mechanisms, that was out of love for myself and a defiant conviction that I have a place in this world.

August🔥

August 5th. I finally got my phone back from the cruise and omfg I wanna go back so bad. It was so incredibly fun and I met alot of amazing people. I met Gage, Taylor, Emma, Destiny, Dezi, Josh, Jacob, DJ, Andre, Adam, Daniel, Ty, Preston, Eddy, Aiden, and so many more people. It was such an experience and definitely the best birthday I've ever had. None of them are gonna read this but thank you to everyone who made my first cruise and my 16th birthday so awesome. I love and will miss everyone.

I got to watch Gavin today cause Sebastian has a eye doctors appointment which is not fun for me. I also have to get my school schedule today cause I wasnt able to on the 1st cause I was in Cozumel. I'm really hoping I get classes with my friends. I'll be upset if I didn't but itll be okay. If I dont I'll just be known as the quiet girl again.

August 6, I have to force myself to stop liking swedish boy but ngl it's so fucking hard. Hes perfect for me. God fucking damn it why does he gotta live so far. Why do I have to get so attached to people so quickly. I just get left in agonizing pain again and again. it's just a constant state of heartbreak. I hate this. I hate myself. He told me hes forcing himself to stop liking me cause he knows there is no way of us meeting. That really broke me. I keep saying it's fine but it's not. Why do I do this to myself. Why cant I just stay away from all of it like I wanted to in the first place. None of it matters anymore. I guess the only thing I can try to do is move on. I was talking to Parker about it and he said if he really did like me then he would try all he could to make it work. Ugh I just wish he could make it work. Hes not my cute swedish boi anymore, just a guy I met on tiktok. It hurts saying that but that's all itll ever be now. My tiny little sliver of hope that I had was incinerated by the flames of tragedy. I gotta move on. I dont wanna move on. I have to though. It hurts. Its weird not seeing his name as Swedish boi now when he texts me. He asked me to change it.

August 9th, I went driving today and i did kinda good. I went on Birnhamwoods and i was scared but i did good. My mom doesnt know how to give directions. Other than that I've just been in bed all day again. I've been watching Jane The Virgin season 5 with Misty and so many things are happening it's great. Theres 5 days till school and I want to go back but I really dont want to. First I'm gonna have to see Gage and that's gonna be hella awkward. We havent talked since he blocked me like a month or 2 ago. I also have to give Scott his stuff back and that's really gonna hurt. I don't tell anyone but I still wear his jacket sometimes. I know it's bad and I need to stop but I cant help it. I cant help the fact I still miss him. But now I gotta give it back to him. By me doing that it means its really over. I guess that's how its gonna be now. Just over. I gotta ignore the fact that I loved him and he was my first. But now it's gone and I have to accept that. I'm just gonna stop trying ya know. Im tired of getting my heart broken. I just need to be alone from everyone for awhile.

August 10th, Yesterday I was playing with the boys and needed to switch the party from my phone to the xbox. My headset was dead so I asked sebastian for his charger cause I lost mine. He said no but I took it anyways. He knew I was gonna take it so he rat me out to my parents and told me to give it back. I asked if I could borrow it again and he said no. I was angry so I grabbed his headset and threw it on the ground, breaking it. My dad heard and ran up the stairs and started yelling at me. He told me to clean my room so I locked myself in the bathroom. They took my phone, xbox cable, and TV cable. My mom tried talking to me but I didn't say anything, only that I wanted my phone back. While everyone was distracted I grabbed pillows, blankets, markers, and my fan and slept in the bathroom as a protest. At around 1am my mom gave me back my phone and said she deleted everything. I was pissed. But I'm fine now.

I went driving today again. We went through benders and looked at the rich people houses. Must be nice not being broke. I also drove to Kroger which I was nervous about since there were so many cars but I did good. I even parked, not perfectly but in the spot. My dad felt bad about yesterday and got me Starbucks. School is starting up soon and I'm excited to see kaylie but that's it. Not looking forward to giving Scott his jacket back. I'm just gonna walk up to him, say nothing, and hand it to him. I'm gonna stop talking about it before I start crying again lol

August 14th,First day of school and I've already cried twice. Scott kept talking about how he broke up with me and how he feels bad about how he did it and regrets it. Then he asked me about Gavin was and I said he really fucking misses him, cause he does. Then the bell rang and I cried walking out. Other than that it was an okay day. Coach Clair remembered me and I was really happy about that. Also my son Jadon is in that class and that made me happy.

August 15th, I'm in chemistry rn and I fucking hate it. I don't think there are any juniors in here and it sucks. I feel like shjt that I failed this class. It wasn't my fault though. I really hate this. It makes me really nervous and anxious and emotional. I'm not gonna cry but I wish I could. Everyone knows eachother and I don't know anyone. I wish I was in Physics instead but i guess that's harder than Chemistry. Now I'm in level chemistry so its gonna be easier cause I struggled with how fast they were teaching.

Looks like I gotta reset my days clean tonight.

I met this guy named Allon yesterday. I see him everyday since he's in my culinary and he's also in my history and my English. He seems cool and is friends with Eugene. Culinary was fun today, we did a speed dating thing and it was awkward at first but once we got to talking to everyone it was easy.

August 16th, its Friday. School is done for the week. I was upset today cause they changed my history teacher and I loved him. Now they put me with this monotone teacher Mr.Horton. it's weird cause there is only like 10 kids in that class. I am now also in Livestock production and there are 12 student in there including me now. I don't know why some of the classes are so small, there are over 2,000 students at gohs now. In culinary we had to split up in groups and I went with Eugene, Allon, Adam, and Tamara. They are a really fun group. I almost feel bad for leaving Michael to be in a group with a bunch of people he doesnt know but he would've had to choose to sit with them or Eugene so I sat with them so he didnt have to. I had alot of fun. I already know culinary is gonna be my favorite class this year. Mrs.Langley says we aren't allowed to choose our groups this year but I hope she changes her mind. Allon seems really nice. I got his snapchat and we've been talking alot. He has the cutest fucking poodle ever. I see him everyday, not just cause of culinary but hes in my blue day English.

August 18th, its 12:06pm and I just realized I haven't done my review for the last 2 days. I haven't done much. I've mainly been texting Allon and watching Netflix.

August 19th, I try to sleep away my depression. It doesn't work

August 20th, by far one of the worst things about grand oaks this year is the bus situation. There are way too many kids on each bus and they have to get more busses cause it's so over crowded.

Last night was okay, I played Apex with Eugene then after we just talked for an hour. He was the main person talking he kept saying he felt bad for talking so much but I told him I'm a good listener so it was okay. We talked about some deep stuff and we actually have alot in common. We both overthink situations and create random scenarios in our head that would never happen but like what if they did. I almost feel kinda bad about talking to Eugene so much cause Michael hates him and I consider them both of my friends. I've just known Michael for so long but I have alot in common Eugene. More than I thought. I've kinda been leaning away from Michael and from my friends in general. I feel horrible for doing it but I don't want to completely cut them out of my life cause they've been in my life for so long. I guess I've kinda just grew out of some friendships, mainly Michael and I's. Idk maybe I'm just talking too much and should just keep everything how it is.

August 22nd, okay so update. Derek hit me up and I'm like ew but whatever. Allon is making me watch pokemon and ngl kinda love it. My hair is curly. We stan. I feel sick but that's cause I ate a sandwich and kept moving around. Also my back hurts. I wanna die. I'm at the bus stop. Its humid. Ew. Gross. I hate myself. That's it. Goodnight.

August 23, I was kinda quiet in culinary today and everyone was very concerned apparently. I spoke maybe 10 words. I dont know the exact reason but it was mainly thinking about Scott and the fact I kinda feel left out alot of the time. I don't even know why I'm still thinking about him, maybe I should take the time over the weekend to try to stop thinking about him. I feel left out alot in culinary, and in life in general. Culinary cause I sit with all guys and they talk about things I dont really know. I dont feel like talking about it anymore. Goodnight

August 28th, not much has happened since I last updated. I played minecraft with Allon last night and it was pretty fun. He died twice and it was super funny. Before he left we talked about just life. How we've both given up on relationships in general cause we've been fucked over so many times. Which I think is weird cause I keep getting mixed signals from him that he likes me but he also thinks of me as a friend. It's weird. But yea he also asked me if I was gonna go to homecoming this year and I told him I would if someone asked me but other than that I probably wouldnt. Yeah and then he left and I cried myself to sleep cause i talk to my ceiling about how lonely i feel at night. Yeah that's it.

I have such bad luck with guys holy shit I hate myself

August 29th, I played more Minecraft with Allon yesterday. We played for 3 hours lol. It was really fun. We both kept dying in the nether and we also kept killing eachother. I still get confused on whether he likes me or not. So many mixed signals it's crazy. I forgot my chemistry notebook at home and I'm very upset about that but oh well. I get to see Julian today so that's gonna be interesting. I keep seeing Scott everywhere I go and it just makes me so incredibly sad. I wish it didnt but it does. I'm sitting next to Johan and it's very obvious he likes me. I feel bad for not liking him back but I cant help for the fact that I will only see him as a friend. I think the whole Scott thing is playing a part in it too. I dont wanna date Johan cause it means I'll be around him more often. I really miss him but I dont. I want him in my life but I dont. Ya know? I'm confusing myself. Carlos and his friend walked to my house yesterday to get his phone and wallet back. It was funny cause there was alot of lightning and thu der and Carlos got hella scared. My mom pulled up and we drove them home.

August 31st, ah the end. I've played minecraft with Allon all day except for when I went to Akashi. Lifes been okay. I still think about him alot but I'm getting better. At least I feel like I am. Hopefully. I know it takes time but fuck I'm impatient. I miss Kaylie. I like culinary. I've officially established a group. It's me, Allon, Eugene, Adam, and the occasional Ty and Tamara. It's great. I'm happy I've made friends. Also I have a new friend in fashion. I'm trying to plan ahead on outfits for the show and I already have my whole 5 outfits but I need my fashion sketchbook to come in quick cause I'm dying from not drawing these. Adam has concluded I'm addicted to vitamin water. This month was ight. Hopefully I get better next month.

Fanfiction: Why Is It So Popular?

As someone on tumblr, you probably know what fanfiction is and know why it is popular. My AP Literature teacher, however, wasn’t so informed.

My senior year, we were required to write a research paper about a trend. Some people did the rate of divorce, others did the increase of body modification and someone even did the death of Pokemon Go.

Our teacher recommended that we chose a topic that we were familiar with, and my first 2 thoughts were fanfiction and anime. I had already had a friend that had done anime the year the before, so I thought “why not?”

And thus, my senior paper was born:

March , 2018

Fanfiction: Why Is It So Popular?

INTRODUCTION:

Generally, the word “fanfiction” conjures an image of lonely hermits, obsessive fans, or even dangerous flirtation with copyrights, but lately, fanfiction has been given a new face―a face of validity, expression, and even publication. Since January 2012, the amount of fanfiction for just one fandom (a collection of fans supporting a certain medium) has increased an astonishing 1,154% (Pellegrini). Objectively, fanfiction is a fan-made story that contains strong elements of the original work, generally using the same characters, themes, and other various components. For example, there are numerous works based off Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, continuing on the story of Mr. and Mrs. Darcy; in fact, there has been a recent increase of published novels based on Pride and Prejudice of 32% since 2015 (“List of Literary Adaptations of Pride and Prejudice”). Why? Because fans were not satisfied with the original content; they wanted to see more of Elizabeth and Darcy’s relationship or they wondered what the characters would do in a zombie apocalypse or any other variation of “what if?” Fanfiction allows “amateur writers” to express their love for a book, tv show, game, etc., and whether it’s because of the lack of LGBT themes in most published works or the increasing ease of sharing their fiction, fanfiction writers are not likely to stop any time soon (Knorr).

BACKGROUND / HISTORY:

Although it might seem very unbelievable, fanfiction did not just start recently, or a couple decades ago, or in the 70s with that one Star Trek fanfiction. In fact, a good amount of older literature is fanfiction. If fanfiction is being defined as “any work of fiction that borrows major elements of another work of fiction,” then works such as Shakespeare’s Hamlet could technically count as fanfiction; Hamlet was originally an “ancient Scandinavian folk tale . . .[known as] ‘Vita Amlethi’ (‘The Life of Amleth’)” that Shakespeare not only re-wrote as a play, but inserted his own, personal experiences (Clark). The Iliad, The Odyssey, Oedipus Rex were all orally-told, Greek myths that someone decided needed to be written down. The only reason theses works are not recognized as “fanfiction” was because copyright was not as strict in that time and practically did not exist; after all, no one knows for sure who the real Shakespeare was because he did not officially claim his work.

Fanfiction didn’t really become a label until Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes in the 1880s and with the birth of the internet, the famous Star Trek fanfiction. Officially, “the actual term ‘fanfiction’ was coined in 1939” and was used as an insult towards crudely written sci-fi fiction (Reich). In the late 90s and early 00s, rather than the “all-purpose” fanfiction cites today, “fans carved out their own little homes on the burgeoning internet. Star Trek fans here, X-Files fans there, Frasier fans somewhere else” (Hill). Most of those sites, however, have since died and have been replaced with the “all-purpose” ones like fanfiction.net. One of the most infamous modern fanfictions is E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey. Although it is technically a published novel, James has admitted that her novel was simply a Twilight fanfiction that she had written and aftered so that she wouldn’t break the copyright (Morrison). The largest development to the world of fanfiction, however, was the birth of Archiveofourown.org in 2007, a fanfiction website that “promised stronger resistance to legal challenges” to fanfiction writers unlike other, previous websites such as fanfiction.net (Burt). With the creation of this site, older ones have begun to die out just like the fandom-centric ones of the past.

#1 REASON:

Over the years, fanfiction has morphed from a shameful pass time to a socially acceptable medium of expression. Published authors have been, in fact, recommending fanfiction as a positive way to start writing. The author of the Princess Diaries Meg Cabot came out about her fanfiction writing, saying, “I myself used to write Star Wars fan fiction when I was tween. I think writing fanfiction is a good way for new writers to learn to tell a story” (Romano). And many other famous authors have made a contribution to the fanfiction community: Cassandra Clare, author of Mortal Instrument Series; Orson Scott Card, author of Ender’s Game; S. E. Hinton, author of The Outsiders; Neil Gaiman, author of The Sandman Series, and so many others (O’Brien, Kovach).

While visiting a Writing Workshop, the published author hosting it, Pamela Thibodeaux, encouraged me to begin writing and posting fanfiction in order to start a healthy fanbase, so that when I go to get a book published, the transition is much smoother. Writing fanfiction is just as stimulating as writing an original novel. In a CNN article about fanfiction, they explicitly stated that “even if the subject matter is a little blue [writing fanfiction] is a positive form of self-expression,” compelling parents to “encourage writing” (Knorr). In fact, the main difference between the two is that writing fanfiction “takes the pressure of world-building off” which allows the writer to explore their writing style without getting tangled up in creating something from scratch (McQuien). In a way, fanfiction is the box of cake mix in the literature world―it helps amateurs to take the first step of baking without getting too overwhelmed, but in the end, it can taste just as good.

#2 REASON:

As the overall acceptance and validity of fanfiction has increased, fanfiction has found its way into the publishing world, being branded as actual literature. Time-honored novels such as Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice have several published, fan-made additions and recreations of the original tale like Pride and Prejudice II: The Sequel by Victoria Park and Seth Grahame-Smith’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which was turned into a filmed phenomena in 2016 (“List of Literary Adaptations of Pride and Prejudice”). Although there have been many literary adaptations of this novel spanning as far back as 1932, there has been a 32% increase of published fanfictions just for this fandom (“List of Literary Adaptations of Pride and Prejudice”).

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has also witnessed this movement with his iconic Sherlock Holmes series, especially with the popular television series Sherlock, a “modernization” (or modern au [alternate universe] in fanfiction jargon) of the classic cases between Sherlock Holmes and John Watson (“8 unconventional Sherlock Holmes adaptations”). These published fanfictions have been able to keep the trademarked names of their beloved characters, but many novels had to undergo extensive editing to cross the line of “fanfiction” into “literature.”

One of the most famous, or rather infamous, examples of this is how E. L. James’ 50 Shades of Grey was originally a Twilight fanfiction (Morrison). Another, perhaps not as well known, is L. Stoddard Hancock’s Cruel and Beautiful World, which was heavily based off of J. K. Rowling’s beloved Harry Potter; in fact, her novel indulges the ship [romantic pairing] of Hermione and Draco, fondly known as “Dramione” in the Harry Potter fandom (Sarner). While some fanfictions have to undergo a facelift in order to be published, their true identity still remains intact: they are still devoted extensions to the esteemed works of another author.

#3 REASON:

Fanfiction has evolved greatly throughout history, and how to post fanfictions and share them with the world is just getting easier and easier. As mentioned prior, the creation of Archive of Our Own revolutionized the world of fanfiction with its promise of legal support, but how? In 2002, there was a great purging of fanfictions on the original fanfiction posting website, fanfiction.net, shaking the fanfiction community and dissuading writers from posting their fanfics (Silver). It was this sort of mass-banning on works that encouraged the creation of Archive of Our Own and its legal branch the “Organization of Transformative works” where they “clarify the legality of fanfiction, champion fan-created works whenever they were legally challenged, and provide fans with legal resources in case they were targeted by copyright claims” (Silver). In short, Archive of Our Own gave fanfic writers a safe place to share their fanfictions.

Because of this difference with websites, despite the age difference and advantage Fanfiction.net may have with it, the increase of Harry Potter fanfictions on Archive of Our Own, for example, have increased 795% more than those on Fanfiction.net since 2010 (Pellegrini). Not only that, but Archive of Our Own has many other unique features that makes both writing fanfictions and reading fanfictions much more convenient such as tagging (Romano). Speaking from personal experience as a user of both Fanfiction.net and Archive of Our Own, although the first is not a bad place to read fanfiction, it is not nearly as user-friendly. For example, if I wanted to read a Harry Potter fanfiction, I could easily do so on both sites, but if I wanted to read a Harry Potter fanfiction that had the ship “Dramione” or had “zombies” or where Fred didn’t die, I can only specify those tags on Archive of Our Own to find that perfect fanfiction. And fanfiction sites are still continuing to expand, to shape, to mold themselves in order to fit the preferences of the ever-evolving writers that post on them.

#4 REASON:

The world of literature is a diverse melting pot of ideas and people, but even with this diversity, there are many minorities that are pushed to the side such as the LGBT community―in the world of fanfiction, however, they are the majority. Seeing LGBT often connotes inaccurate concepts, especially in literature, where one thinks “gay” when they see LGBT and then “the label of ‘gay’ often overshadows the important elements of the story/author, often tarnish[ing] the book before it can be read” (Guy). The LGBT community is so much more than just “gay,” and those different branches are very rarely explored in published literature, but in fanfiction, they florrish.

Although majority of fanfiction does involve romance and a good amount of it involves couples of the same sex, that is not the only layer as is with most “gay” literature. In fanfiction, everyone is represented―if you want to read a fanfiction where the main character is asexual, where the main character is genderfluid, where there’s a polyromantic relationship, where someone is aromantic, bisexual; no matter what it is you want, I can almost guarantee it’s out there somewhere. The fanfiction website Archive of Our Own found that only 38% of their users were heterosexual, meaning that at least 62% belong to the LGBT community and more people identified as genderqueer than as male (Hu). Everyone wants to be represented in media, to have someone to relate to.

The little gay literature that is there, is only just now being reprinted, falling out of print since the 80’s, and a good amount of it is being banned (Healey). For example, Amazon refused to sell a gay Victorian novel, claiming it was “pornagraphic,” yet they have an entire section for “erotic” fiction such as 50 Shades of Grey (Healey). With fanfiction, writers don’t have to worry about labels, whether a couple is straight or homosexual or genderqueer or whatever. Writers care about the stories, the chemistry between the characters that make them a dynamic duo, and with fanfiction, writers can share that.

CONCLUSION:

Fanfiction has existed for centuries with Sophocles's Oedipus Rex and Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Star Trek and it shows no sign of stopping now. In fact, the amount of fanfiction hasn’t just increased because of its acceptance or its publication or the ease of posting, but because of new and continuous material.

Before the release of BBC’s show Sherlock, there were fanfictions based on the original book, and the addition of the show allowed Sherlock Holmes and John Watson to become more familiar, and thus, more fanfictions to be added to the overall fandom. The same occured with the Harry Potter fandom. When Jack Thorne’s play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (a published fanfiction continuing J.K. Rowling’s original series Harry Potter), fanfiction writers exploded with new material, new ideas, and new fanfictions; a total of 1,682 fanfictions concerning Harry Potter and the Cursed Child have been posted on Archive of Our Own since the play’s release date in 2016 (Search Results for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child). Due to the recent release of Voltron: Legendary Defender in 2016, there has been a staggering 5,054% increase of fanfiction for the show originally from the 80’s (Search Results for Voltron).

With every reinstatement of a show, a new generation of potential fanfiction writers are exposed to it, adding on to the classic mediums other fanfiction writers wrote about before them such as Star Trek or Sex in the City, where there are still significant increases of 8,600% since 2005 and the show ended in 2004 (Kneale). Fanfiction increases because more and more people are being exposed to that world. Just as there will always be incoming literature and TV shows and movies, new fanfictions will be trailing in afterwards like a relentless shadow.

Ereri Creator Interview: Missmichellebelle

Hello friends! Thank you all for your support with this project. If you’d like to complete the interview, you can do so here: https://goo.gl/forms/lUpTjm0NFeYYzXGy1. The form will remain open indefinitely.

The response to this was more than I could have hoped for, so please be patient as I get to your interview! I aim to post 2-3 per week.

You can enjoy past creator interviews here. (Since I post these over time, sometimes projects are complete by the time I post the interview.)

Michelle ( @missmichellebelle ) is a writer who has been in the fandom for three years. On advice to other creators, Michelle writes, “This is advice that I'm trying to give myself, and that is: it's not life or death. it's fandom. write that fic knowing the only person who might read it is you. abandon that project that you don't have the spark to create for anymore. take a hiatus, pick up a new hobby, join a new fandom, and come back if and when you're ready and create again. no one is ever going to say 'oh, what, so you're back now? we don't want you.' fandom always wants you, they always want what you can give. so give, give what you can, give what you want, and never, ever feel obligated to give.”

Read on for more!

Please link us to your content so we can send you some love!

http://archiveofourown.org/users/missmichellebelle/works?fandom_id=721553

How long have you been in the fandom for?

about two and a half years ago? coming up on three

Why did you start shipping Ereri?

I remember having a crisis over it more than I remember the why. once I start shipping a character, I generally am incapable of shipping them with everyone else, and I was like, 'oh boy, this is a big decision, I'll just go... I'll go on ao3 and I'll read some things' and then like 12 hours later I was sobbing over Ereri and... here I am. it fits into one of my otp niches really well, and it's my two favorite characters TOGETHER which is just... the best? ever? so good??? but it's the dynamic a lot, although I have to admit moreso in fanon than canon, but... Eren smiles more. he's generally more emotive. he's the kind of person it's easy to put in a situation where he's the Happy one, the Fun one, the Outgoing one, and then you have Levi who is not traditionally all of these things and I just. I like when you have the idealist and the realist together, and they balance each other out. they ground each other. it's my favorite type of dynamic. it's that yin and yang thing. so it's hard not to love them for clicking so perfectly into that for me.

Thematically speaking, what kind of content do you most enjoy making?

deeeeefinitely fluffy things, although I also love love love AUs of all shapes and sizes.

What is the work you're proudest of and why?

Acute Myocardial Infarction! the fic I never wanted to write! which might be why I love it so much, because I never would have written for it if it wasn't for a fandom event to begin with. but also because I like taking dynamics that would generally be iffy to work in (in this case, doctor/patient) and stretching them out and working through them to a point where you don't want to wrinkle your nose at it.

What inspires you to create?

inspiration, when it comes, comes from nearly everywhere. ingesting other fandom works, getting into new content (i.e. after watching YOI, I wrote ice skating Ereri lol), real life experience, other interests I have at the time, music music music. so much inspires me to create I tend to have more ideas than I ever have the words for.

Is there any work you'd like to share that inspires you?

probably anything Ryssa (molotovhappyhour on ao3, jedierenjaeger on tumblr) writes??? the way she grasps language is so different than the way I do it, and it just... floors me. every single time. but her fae!Eren fic sticks with me especially http://archiveofourown.org/works/7363567

What projects are you currently working on?

I feel like I'm always working on a hundred projects at once, and I know a good portion of them will probably never leave my desktop. for sure I can say I am actively working on Piano Verse again, which I'm very excited about. it was my first foray into Ereri, and coming back to it is like coming home. in that same vein, I am working on updating and finishing my Pokemon AU, and on finally finishing the sequel to my doctor!Levi fic AMI. as for new things, it's looking like a lot of AU oneshots. I have a mer!Eren fic I'm working on, a Sleeping-Beauty style fairy tale, more Ereri as teenagers, something really really really sad (which is so out of my wheelhouse that I'm very excited about it), and just... a lot. nothing too big, nothing epic, but a lot of fun, smaller things, which, tbh, I've always been a lot better and more consistent with.

What are your strengths as a writer/artist?

I have been told that my characterization is good, and my dialogue. I would say my strengths are in snippets rather than epics. I excel at doing a 3k drabble than a 30k fic. I'm good at creating an entire world, an entire relationship, in the span of 3k and making it complete without bogging the entire thing down with world-building.

What is an area in your work which you're trying to improve on?

actually writing! lol, no. well, yes. I want to finish things that I start. I have WIPs, I have open-ended verses, I want to go back to them and flesh them out and finish them. and I do want to write and post more frequently. I'd like to get better at writing action, and at writing more horror-esque things, and at writing more than two people at the same time (the struggle is REAL), but I wouldn't say I'm actively working on improving those right now.

What advice do you have for other creators?

this is advice that I'm trying to give myself, and that is: it's not life or death. it's fandom. write that fic knowing the only person who might read it is you. abandon that project that you don't have the spark to create for anymore. take a hiatus, pick up a new hobby, join a new fandom, and come back if and when you're ready and create again. no one is ever going to say 'oh, what, so you're back now? we don't want you.' fandom always wants you, they always want what you can give. so give, give what you can, give what you want, and never, ever feel obligated to give.

Do you have any pets?

no :c

How do you relax?

I watch a shit ton of YouTube and Crunchyroll these days, but I also knit. or go to Disneyland lol

Tell us about your dream day

I wake up naturally and at a decent hour. I have breakfast, I take a walk, I wear something cute. I drink a green tea latte and write for an hour, listening to music. I meet up with my friends and we go to Disneyland and just hang out there, enjoying the atmosphere, taking pictures. We all crash at somebody's house and talk through a movie and fall asleep in a pile.

What music are you into?

lots??? I listen to a lot of Top 40 lol I have the amazing ability of being in nearly any public space and knowing all the words to every song they play. but artist wise I love Ingrid Michaelson, Florence + the Machine, Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran. I've been really into musical music lately too. but yeah anything with that like kind of indie/alternative pop thing going on, I'm all about.

What are some of your favorite tv shows?

I almost exclusively watch anime these days! lol but going back to those good ol' regularly watching TV days: Friends, Glee, Once Upon a Time, Lost, Parks and Rec, does Stranger Things count???? uh.... yeah.

What are some of your favorite films?

Howl's Moving Castle, Pride and Prejudice (2005), LotR! (especially Return of the King <3), Tangled, pretty much every and all Disney movie ever, Marvel movies, Star Wars movies, stupid 90s teen romcoms, High School Musical and other such DCOMs

What are some of your favorite books?

The Hollow Kingdom by Clare B. Dunkle (this is the book that actually inspired me to start writing!), Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Beauty by Robin McKinley (and most anything by Robin McKinley tbh, although Sunshine gets a nod), the Captive Prince series by C.S. Pacat, Howl's Moving Castle by Dianna Wyne Jones, Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr (and probably a lot of others I'm forgetting, so I just named the ones I reread on a yearly basis lol)

Random Things About Me

Rules: Tag some people you want to get to know better. I was tagged by @lucibae-is-dancing-in-hell . Thank you! :3

Tagging: @coplins @hookerlegs @brieflymaximumprincess @spnyoucantkeepmedown @i-bleed-salt @carvcredlund @cat-n-claw

If you want to do it. <3

Appearance:

5’0. Bite sized Hobbit. Short brown hair in a pixie cut because I’m lazy. Slim-ish, currently looking to lose some weight, yay stress and bad choices. My shoulders are broader than my hips so I look like a dude in silhouette. Brown eyes. Huge dorky glasses because I’m a dork. Problems with cystic acne (I am an adult but my hormones apparently feel like perpetual adolescence idk). Decently good at putting on muscle, so yay there’s one good thing.

Personality:

I’m your classic introvert, hi! My name is probably next to the word in the dictionary. Large crowds intimidate/drain me and make me moody/snappish, so I prefer to stay home and read and pet cats and do anything that is not interacting with other humans. That said, I do like socializing! I swear! I just need to recharge my batteries for a long-ass time afterward. Online socializing is my jam.

It makes dating interesting, like, I love cuddling and hugging and Other Things™ but at the same time I need alone time like most people need air.

Bit of a perfectionist. Haha, just kidding, I’m a perfectionist through and through. I love daydreaming and am the one rando with a random smile who randomly laughs because I thought of something funny.

I can be a snarky bitch at times, and have been called cold hearted and callous because when I’m done with someone, I’m done, and I let them know, and no manner of tears or begging or threats will dissuade me.

I’m also a goofball in the right company, turn into a motor mouth if I ingest enough sugar, and have been known to hiss at things I dislike.

Ability:

Writing! I’ve been writing stories since I was in kindergarten. Usually they were about my stuffed animals lol. I’m pretty good at drawing, or was, before I quit for 10 years (yay adulting), but I’m easing back into it and trying to not get disheartened at how much I suck. I also play flute and several different pennywhistles but it’s been years since I played, so I’m sure my embouchure is shot and my music reading skills are rusty.

Other random abilities: I’m good enough at Les Mills Bodypump to be an instructor but yay Real Life got in the way of actually doing it; I make pretty bead thingies; I can sort of sing if I’m singing along to the radio (otherwise cover your ears!); I can read Tarot and use pendulums for divination

Hobbies:

Writing, reading, (trying to) draw, sleeping, working out, daydreaming, SUPERNATURAL, true crime stuff (serial killers yay I’m horrible), researching random shit, making pretty bead things, collecting Funko Pop! figures, playing Sims2 (my computer is an ancient dinosaur that can’t handle later versions), watching Jeopardy; collecting angel pictures and figurines (my lifelong love of angels actually got me into SPN because Castiel is an angel so I was sold lol); listening to music (my favorites are movie soundtracks, especially Hans Zimmer; rock; alt; metal; Celtic; and symphonic metal); used to do cat rescue but I had to quit because I wanted to keep them all

Experiences:

I was rank one, file one in my junior high marching band (aka the best spot) the only time we won first place; did a Hunchback of Notre Dame show for my high school band before I had to quit because Health Issues; was the only freshman in the symphonic orchestra; lots of Band Stuff tbh; went to an Alpha Chi conference in San Diego my senior year of university and won for the Shakespeare category; graduated summa cum laude from my university, top of my department (English) and top of the Arts and Humanities college, and got to be on the stage (which meant I couldn’t zone out or read or sneak snacks under my robe, boo); I’ve been to Disneyland like 10 times (ask me how!), including a time we ate at Club 33; eating disorder survivor; domestic violence survivor; sexual assault survivor (and if you are also a survivor of any of those things please feel free to talk to me); bottle-fed a couple of two-day-old kittens (sadly one didn’t make it :( ); got promoted to regional editor for my company this year; MET MARK FUCKING PELLEGRINO and got a picture with him at an event in Beverly Hills in October; I’ve been to the Hollywood Walk of Fame; fenced (sword-fighting) with a guy cosplaying as Captain Jack Sparrow in front of the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles; am technically a published writer through my work.

My life:

Work, working out, writing, reading, sleeping, maybe drawing. Lots of Internet. Sometimes TV. CATS.

That’s kind of it. :V

Random Stuff:

I’M A TWIN but we’re fraternal and she’s like 6 inches taller, no fair. I can make head shots with a handgun at 10 feet on the indoor range. My favorite color is deep cerulean, followed closely by burgundy. I’m a Pisces. Captain America is my favorite Avenger. Loki is my favorite Marvel character. Ravenclaw House forever! Tea whore. Egyptophile. Kemetic Orthodox by faith. My favorite structure in the world is the Eiffel Tower. Unicorns are best mythological creature and I will fight for their honor. Don’t mess me with anything less than 75% dark chocolate. My favorite Pokemon are Arcanine, Dragonair, Mew, the Eeveelutions, Meowth, Altaria, Articuno, Ho-Oh, and yeah too many to name. My favorite TV character of all time is Gavin Q. Baker III from season 7 of The Closer (played by the beautiful Mark Pellegrino) – Lucifer, Sam Winchester, and Patrick Jane are close on his designer Italian leather heels. I love rain. I’m afraid of moths and grasshoppers and other erratic insects whose movements you can’t predict. Mulan is best Disney princess. I have to be watching TV while doing cardio or I won’t do it at all. My fast food kryptonite is McDonald’s French fries. My favorite stupid food is marshmallows. I try to eat healthy but Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch exist, so. Yeah.

I was tagged by @fizzingwizard and @questdrivencollie. Muchos thank yous bbs. Since you two had a different set of questions, I’ll answer them all here.

Rules:

1. Always post the rules 2. Answer the questions given by the person who tagged you 3. Write 11 questions of your own 4. TAG PEOPLE

Fizz’s Questions (Part A):

1.) What’s your favorite ice cream and topping? Ben & Jerry’s non-dairy Cherry Garcia.

2.) If Frodo offered you the One Ring, would you take it and how would it tempt you? Give us the Precious

3.) What kind of pet do you want/have? I have a Chihuahua named Chico. I’ve been wanting to get us another companion since my other baby passed away early this year :’(

4.) Have you ever done Irish dance? Lmao. No

5.) What food do you absolutely hate hate hate with a fiery passion? Meat >:[ !!!

6.) If you had a Digimon partner or a Pokemon or any equivalent creature, what would it be? Pokemon: Bulbasaur. Digimon: Gomamon. They cute. They sass.

7.) Be honest what do you really spend the weekends doing? Drinking, flickin’ the bean, fuckin’ around on Tumblr, going out to eat or dance

8.) Did you cry during Toy Story 3? I got a lil choked up don’t judge meh

9.) What’s your favorite Ghibli or Disney movie and why? Animated Beauty and the Beast. It’s sooo good. And The Hunchback of Notre Dame because of the music and dark tone.

10.) What were you totally into in elementary school? 90s anime: Pokemon, Ranma ½, DB/Z, Digimon. Also: Orcas, futbol-soccer, Flaming Hot Cheetos

11.) What’s something from your family/culture/personal life (take your pick) that you wish others understood better? Well, there are a lot of misconceptions people have regarding veganism. I could write a lot about this, but I’ll keep it short. I didn’t become vegan out of self-righteousness. I became vegan for a number of reasons, but what it really boils down to is compassion towards animals and not wanting to eat something that felt physical pain in order to feed me when I have other options. (psst btw, no I do not support PETA and they do not represent us as a whole. They’re not even really vegan)

Collie’s Questions (Part B):

1. Do you enjoy visiting and exploring new places a lot? Tbh I don’t travel much and am not very adventurous. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don’t

2. What was a nice thing someone did for you recently? On Saturday, I had a shoe malfunction while at the club and my friend found tape for me and somehow managed to temporarily fix my 6-inch platform gogo boots using just that lmao.

3. Are you working on any projects right now? I’m trying to write 3 different short fics write now but I keep getting stuck why do I suck at writing *cries*

4. What’s the object immediately to your left? A bigass Pokemon coffee mug

5. What’s most important to you? My loved ones (including/especially my dog). Food.

6. If someone wanted to understand you, what should they watch, read, and listen to? Honestly I’m not sure so I’m just gonna list works that had a big impact in my life and/or really moved me. Read: Rurouni Kenshin (manga), Frankenstein. Watch: DBZ, LotR. Listen to: Summoning (black metal band)

7. Would you say it’s difficult for someone to get under your skin? Nah, I’m pretty short-fused lmao but I’m good at suppressing my anger. I just. Kind of. quietly simmer in rage *twitches*

8. What characters do you most identify with? Culturally, I identify with the protagonists of Ugly Betty and Jane the Virgin (growing up Latino in the U.S.). i kind of identify with book-version of Brienne of Tarth in being insecure, but other than that I can’t really think of many characters who I identify with beyond an emotional connection.

9. Do you define yourself by what you do? Not really. I do a lot of things in order to survive, not because I necessarily enjoy or want to do them.

10. How do you typically spend your weekend? (see Part A, #7 above)

11. Do you prefer being indoors, or outdoors? Indoors *hisses at sun*

Which historical figure do you think you’re most like?

OC Most Likely To Murder Them: probably dhulsaei but it’d be like a huge misunderstanding lol Favorite Movie/Book Genre: action/adventure. like tomb raider because That Her Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: when there are love triangles! she’s like “date both of them asshole!” Talents and/or Powers: very stealthy, agile, and acrobatic. can also talk her way out of anything Why Someone Might Love Them: the snark is real, has the wittiest retorts Why Someone Might Hate Them: bc she started as part of an oc/canon character ship lol How They Change: she learns not to rush headlong into things and learns that she’s not infallible. she also learns not to judge things by appearances like she hates when people do to her Why You Love Them: she was one of my first ocs that i started developing independently! i’ve really got a soft spot for her

narei:

Full Name: prince narei (i’m not sure that gerudo have last names? so he doesnt have one lol) Gender and Sexuality: cis male, pansexual Pronouns: he/him Ethnicity/Species: gerudo Birthplace and Birthdate: Nonspecific Gerudo Village (not gerudo valley tho), july 13th Guilty Pleasures: romance novels Phobias: he’s really scared of cold. he doesn’t have much experience with it and fears that his limbs will fall off. What They Would Be Famous For: being a somewhat okay leader (with help) What They Would Get Arrested For: dark magic (he did apologize though) OC You Ship Them With: galatea (it’s mostly one-sided though) OC Most Likely To Murder Them: dhulsaei, but only if he’s actively endangering someone Favorite Movie/Book Genre: he says it’s action/adventure but, like i said before, the boy loves a good romance novel Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: miscommunication (you can catch him in his quarters screaming “JUST TELL HER” into his pillow. he should take his own advice) Talents and/or Powers: dark magic, swordfighting, handsomeness Why Someone Might Love Them: he honestly tries his best? most of the things that happen to him are not his fault (key word there: most) Why Someone Might Hate Them: he does a lot of things without thinking through them first, including spouting some pretty sexist ideology. however, he does grow past this, and it’s an important part of his character arc to me How They Change: he learns to look at all perspectives of an issue before taking it on, and he does a lot of introspection over his arc that helps him move more towards where he really wants to be Why You Love Them: he and galatea are my two favorite ocs because of how different they are tbh. i love putting them in situations where their differences complement each other and honestly i love how galatea helps him to be a better person. i just. yes

Favorite Movie/Book Genre: generic sports movies. she adores space jam with her whole soul Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: she hates rivalries, actually. she wants them to be friends Talents and/or Powers: she has incredible stamina, even though she’s in a wheelchair. she’s also very strong and will beat you in arm wrestling always Why Someone Might Love Them: she’s cute and determined lol Why Someone Might Hate Them: because she rushes in and does dumb things, and then is stubborn about how the thing she did was the right thing How They Change: i think she learns to accept her disability over the course of the island challenge, and she begins to see that she can do amazing things while being in a wheelchair (because she can!!)

ALL OF THEM@!!!! (I kid. Unless you want to.) 3, 5, 7, 12, 19, 25, and 33.

TV Show Ask Game

3) have you ever quit a show before it finished? why?

ouat. because i was upset that they broke up my canon happy ending ship from ouat:iw for no reason just to throw the popular guy into the main show and have him fake date belle while she was pissed at rumple and then didn’t address why he was there or do other stuff with him after that. and then the writing was just really bad and i stopped caring. (probably would’ve stopped before s4 except they brought in elizabeth mitchell and mmmmmmmm i really like her.)

also naruto. although i’m not sure if that counts because i quit somewhere during all the filler arcs before shippuden. and i quit. because of the filler arcs. (there was almost an entire season of yu-gi-oh that i skipped because it was filler. and i think i missed most of the last season, but i think i went back for the finale.)i stopped about halfway through wonderfalls because she got together with the guy and it felt like it was going to go into super shipping territory and i wasn’t about that life (and then apparently i’ve heard that it didn’t because i think she helps him get back with his wife? or something? like that? idk?? i haven’t seen it, obviously. XD).

–obviously i have done this multiple times, particularly with long-running shows. (i feel like i should include pokemon, too, but that had more to do with conflicting times between it and digimon, i think, which i enjoyed significantly more.) i don’t really watch shows all the way through and stick with them, so the shows i have done that with are probably a bigger deal than the ones i haven’t.

5) what’s your comfort show?

my little pony: friendship is magic. don’t judge me.but, like, it started out as a comfort show because my ex and i had gotten into a HUGE fight and one of my roommates had been kind of involved (long story) and that was basically the fight that finalized for me the end of the relationship and my other roommate was like okay, we’re going to sit down and watch ponies and you will fall in love with luna and you will feel better and she was right. luna is best pony.i’ve used other shows that way, too, but mlp:fim is my go-to when i’m in a depressive period.

7) have you ever been inspired to start a new show based on gifs or memes it has produced?

jane the virgin. i mean, there’s a combination of influences that led to that, but the main final bit were those gif sets that nessie reblogged of luisa and rose and tagged for rhea and ivy. because no one told me when they were trying to get me to watch it that there were lesbians.the only other one i could think of was symphogear, but i think that was more because i made a friend who wrote one of the main characters and less to do with the actual gifs.

12) have you ever watched a show just for a specific actor? did you enjoy it?

the fall. for gillian anderson (and jamie dornan because with his beard he’s actually not bad to look at). and yeah, i enjoyed it. the katie stuff in s2 was b a d, but other than that, yeah, i really enjoyed it!american gods i didn’t see all of, but i mostly saw it for gillian anderson to especially the episode she and kristin chenoweth were in together i really just saw it for that episode it was a great episode.i’ve been debating watching agent carter for bridget regan, and i definitely saw the tick for yara martinez. i loved the tick and look forward to s2.oh and i saw ally mcbeal for calista because cat grant is great and ally mcbeal was great.and then i saw swingtown for lana parilla and i had to get past the first two episodes and also i was seeing it with jae but swingtown is also great.i started wonderfalls for caroline dhavernas (alana bloom in hannibal, if that helps) and i own it but i didn’t finish it. i should add that one up above, actually. i heard jewel straite shows up in the last few episodes, though, so. might go back to that. eventually. maybe.

i do this a lot.

i may have gotten super excited about big little lies because nicole kidman and reese witherspoon and it was totally worth they hype and it was really good and it can be triggering but it was SO good.–might stop there because this list could maybe get really long. but it’s a thing where in most cases i’ve actually enjoyed what i went back to see. i’m sure there are examples where things didn’t live up to hype with things i watched primarily for actors? but? i can’t think of any tv shows where that happened. maybe glee because idina menzel but i also started seeing that because the girl i had a crush on was super into it so.

19) are there any shows on your “to watch” list right now?

doctor who (which i’ve started and got distracted from finishing), legends of tomorrow (but skip s1, right?), a series of unfortunate events (which dad and i started but then we’re rarely in a place to see shows at the same time so now he’s on a doctor who marathon and i’ve been catching up on supergirl - but i’m hoping to jump in on his doctor who marathon when he gets back to where he left me the first time), merlin (because katie mcgrath duh), the kominsky method (which i’ve seen bits of and liked), person of interest (BECAUSE LESBIANS AND ALSO JIM CAVIEZEL), gurren lagann (which i’ve started and haven’t finished), jessica jones - and there’s other stuff, like, i have a long list on netflix and i think there’s stuff i’m not thinking of, but those are the ones that stand out.

OH KILLING EVE. KILLING EVE IS ON THAT LIST. AND WESTWORLD (which i’ve seen bits and pieces of while dad was binging the first season after we got it for him for Christmas).

25) do you prefer proper opening credits, or a simple title card?

opening credits. give me a catchy theme song i can sing with and that will make me think of the show when i hear it. give me a theme song that’s cool and then release it so that i can buy it.

get on japan’s level, america.

33) would you be interested in trying a show in another language?

ANIME IS REAL.

uh.

i mean.

uh.

>.>;;;;;;;

i’ve already done this with anime and at least one japanese drama so, like, yes definitely. as long as i’ve got subtitles and it’s not content i wouldn’t want to watch anyway.

#critical windwaker #bandit #fandom #thanks for asking!#if you want me to do the rest of them #i can try #but like i might throw them in a different post or something. ^^
