36, 40-42

36 how many times have you changed your url?

On this blog? Never. On my first one from like 2010? Changed it once.

40 did you have any snacks today?

Not really. I was too busy running through the airport and then waiting as they kept delaying the flight.

41 how do you take your coffee?

Milk, sugar, flavored syrup or creamer if available. I like coffee that is probably about 1/2 coffee, 1/4 dairy, and 1/4 sugar/flavoring. But I will drink it black if necessary

42 an app you frequently use besides this godforsaken site?

Instagram. I don't do much anymore?

#shatterthefragments #dont judge my coffee tastes im more of a tea person

Aaand 28-32 😁 ✨

ABSOLUTELY

28. do you collect anything?

yes several things! perfume bottles, vintage erotica, weird things in resin, matryoshki, these very specific boxes made out of birchbark, postcards (joint collection between me and the gf), and any items that are uniquely hideous. someday i’ll post a picture of the Jesus plate which is one of the best things i own

29. what do you do when you’re sad?

depends on the type of sad! a lot of times i cry or watch something that will make me cry. i also sing, scream, or sing-scream in my car. sometimes i just start vomiting. to cope i write.

30. what’s one thing that never fails to make you happy?

I was just talking with my sister about this but that one Xmas episode of the great British baking show with the Derry girls cast. probably one of the funniest things i’ve ever seen

31. are you messy or organized?

quite messy but i’m picky about cleanliness

32. how many tabs do you have open right now?

my phone browser has the infinity symbol rn LMAOOO

questions

#ask and you shall receive #shatterthefragments #the infinity symbol…my gd #also i have quite the saga about weird things in resin. tldr. i was writing about ten years ago and was like man what’s the most perfect #gift you could ever possibly get for someone. and came to the conclusion that it would be a rainbow beetle in resin (??? idk) and I have #DREAMED ABOUT THIS. HAD A LITERAL DREAM. and then in February i was visiting my sister and found a fuckin beetle in resin at an insane #vintage mall and was like BROOOO

7, 14, 21, 28, 35

7 hair-ties or scrunchies?

Hair ties. They just seem more secure for my hair

14 do you love the smell of earth after it rains?

Yesssss give me that petrichor and geosmin

21 something you’ve kept since childhood?

Shatters, friend, you already sent this one so I'm gna guess you maybe meant 22?

22 what type of person are you?

One that is hard to live with. I am kind but don't like to show it. I am absent-minded and self centered without malice. I harbor a lot of anger and resentment that can spike at inopportune times. I am intelligent and need to constantly have something to work on or I will fall into an existential depression. Though I can be very pleasant and funny.

28 do you wear a mask?

In large crowds and when travelling yes. Outdoors, not often. I know I can and should be better about it.

35 what’s your timezone?

US Central/CDT, which I think is UTC - 5?

5, 6, 7 💖

hello!!!

5. what made you start your blog?

in the year of our lord 2011 i was going along posting Sherlock fanfic on FF.net and a friend was like hey come join some of us on this tumblr thing. i was not into it at first but then i was like eh this is fine and the rest is history

6. what’s the best/worst part of being online/a creator?

this is actually like 6 questions in one and i will answer ALL of them

best part of creating things is the feeling. there is nothing like the feeling of having some idea or some thought or plan and being like hey i’ll manifest this, and then a couple months later you are staring at something in your hands and it’s yours. and you made it. it’s so good

being someone who shares some of the things i create online, it’s really a double edged sword honestly - i do enjoy sharing my work with people and i’ve made incredible friends that way, but the online landscape is extremely different now than it was in the early 2010s, and i rarely actually make friends off the back of what i’ve written these days because a) i’m writing niche and often dark things and b) people just interact less in comment sections. so best part is sharing things with people but that sometimes leads me to getting fixated on stats/likes/followers because of the lack of other types of interaction, and i really don’t like that about myself.

7. what scares you the most and why?

the most primal and horrible fear i have is cockroaches. i will burst into tears at the sight of them

questions

#ask and you shall receive #shatterthefragments #i’m feeling REALLY unbalanced about posting fic rn but ik as soon as I get a couple things up and start rolling out the behemoth I’ll feel #better. I think it’s just bc I’ve a) posted some things that i’m new to and b) aren’t up to my incredibly exacting personal standards that #are in fact impossible to reach

[youssefguedira]

Fall Out Boy?

i have a couple! i'm only really a fall out boy fan because my brother made me listen to them near constantly before we went to see them so i was stockholm syndromed into it but i DO like e now. most of my favourites are from the new album tho 😅 gotta say my no 1 is fake out!

but a shout out to what a time to be alive because a) i love it and b) i was there for what i believe was this songs live debut (? according to my brother) after weeks of 'yeah they're probably not gonna play that one' and when i tell you i heard the intro and lost my shit completely.

#i do like their older stuff but i like their new album best i think #others i like. sixteen candles. bang the doldrums which they ALSO played and i also lost my shit upon hearing. uhhhh forgot the others #oh. coffee's for closers wams and disloyal order of water buffaloes that's a good one #neon answers #shatterthefragments #neon talks music

15 Lines of Dialogue

Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!

This was so much fun! @druckkugelschreiber tagged me and I picked my beloved babygirl Ruthie because she honestly has the best zingers in my book (number 4's my absolute favorite line I've ever written)

“I’m gonna shove this frog down your pants if you don’t shut your mouth."

“You’re dumber than a box of rocks if you think we aren’t gonna be friends until the very end of it all."

“There ain’t nothin’ I can say to you here that ain’t gonna get me thrown out but don’t you ever act like Jamie’s not my best friend in the whole world.”

“I don’t like that boy, Jamie. He’s rude and Ma says boys that are rude turn into politicians.”

“If you like girls just fine, then you should have no problem kissing me.”

“I’m a brat? Least if I was sweet on a boy, I would’ve told him about kissing you!”

“He’s your fella, not mine. If anyone’s gonna get on his good side, it’s you.”

“Ain’t gotta ‘do’ anything. But you’re in no shape to be fixing yourself up. Couldn’t even get out of your damn coat.”

“You went through hell, Jamie. Not everyone’s gonna want to go through hell with you.”

“I love you, Jamie. It’s been you and me since the beginning and it’s gonna be you and me til the end. I don’t think there’s anything that could make me hate you enough to not want you by my side until we’re good and dead.”

“I wish your father had taken you too.”

“You fucking bastard, you knew! You knew and let my Ma be taken from me! She’s all I had left and you just let them take her!”

“I am too, especially when I told him I’d make him swallow all of his teeth if he told anyone what we did. You were never scared of me, though. Not even for a little bit.”

“You know, this might be an odd time to bring this up, considering we’re on our honeymoon and all, but if you ever want to start dating again—seeing other guys, I mean—I’m always going to be fine with it. We’re husband and wife on paper but I knew what I was getting into.”

“You know, you might want to be a little more considerate, there are people in this house actually trying to sleep.”
