I was tagged by @homopositive, thank you for tagging me dude! No doubt I’ve answered similar things in the past, but it’s been a fair while and I expect some of my answers will have changed in the last few months.

Nicknames: Becks, Beck, Kit/Kitt (and on a less serious note, Booklet, Bucket, Ghost, Bones, Pineapple and Pinks)

Gender: Agender

Sign: Scorpio

Height: 5′7″

Time:

Birthday: 16th of November, 1998

Fave bands: Fall Out Boy, The Killers, Queen, Panic! at the Disco, Gorillaz and probably many others I’m forgetting to mention.

Fave solo artists: KT Tunstall, Paolo Nutini, Gerard Way, David Bowie, Eliza Rickman

Song stuck in your head: Those Days Are Gone And My Heart Is Breaking by Barton Carroll.

Last movie I watched: I think the last film must have been Avengers: Age of Ultron, which I watched with my mum over Christmas. I’m planning on heading down the road to the Everyman this weekend to catch a screening of Coco, though.

Last show I watched: I watched Only Connect earlier tonight.

When did I make this blog: Oh, I think January or February last year? My old account, though, I’d created in December 2012, with the sideblog that served as the predecessor to this blog being created in August 2015.

What do I post: Mostly positivity regarding neurodiversity, mental health and LGBTQ+ identities. Sometimes people ask me questions and I write excessive 1,000 word responses, and sometimes I even remember to publish my writing on here!

What did I last Google: Hilariously, the exact phrase is “When 2 women fight in a supermarket”, which happens to be the title of a YouTube video one of my lecturers set me as a writing prompt.

Other blogs: I have a personal sideblog where I ramble about my day-to-day life, which is @p327155, and I also have an art blog where I post my occasional adventurers in drawing, which is @beckettsart.

Do I get asks?: Surprisingly often! It never fails to bring me joy, and I’m so glad all of you guys helped me learn to love asks again after the incidents of early last year <3

Why did I choose this URL: Well, I initially chose @beckettsthoughts because it was, well, a pretty accurate summary of this blog. I recently changed my URL because I wanted to shake things up a little, I was bored of my old “brand” so to speak, and I chose @becksonthedecks because it’s a dorky nickname my friend Alex gave me after I started student radio.

Following: 1,694

Followers: 493

Average hours of sleep: For the first time in my life, it’s a healthy seven or eight hours! I’m really lucky that my university doesn’t schedule me many (if any) morning classes per semester, and even if I do get one then I’m finished by midday and can go take a nap.

Lucky number: I genuinely don’t have one.

Instruments: Violin, ukulele and bell-lyre! I would usually say that I’m primarily a violinist, as I’ve been playing the violin since my third year of primary school, but in all honesty at this point I play the ukulele more than anything. Ukulele is my instrument of choice at university, where I’m a member of the ukulele society and meet up every week for a group practice with my music pals. We also go busking and perform at Showcases each semester, which is a lot of fun. I also recently got a concert ukulele (funded partially as a gift from my partner, who you all know by now I love with all my heart) which I love to bits!

What am I wearing: My pyjamas and a sweatshirt, because my building is still kinda cold.

Dream job: Full-time writer, involving both fiction and creative non-fiction. Hey, nobody said I had to be realistic.

Favourite food: Just to indulge my hyper-specific tendencies, the ham and cheese paninis they serve at my campus cafe. It’s always a race to get there before they sell out, meaning if I want one then I’ll have to eat at around eleven in the morning, but I discovered over my month-long winter break that they are very hard to live without.

Aside from the paninis, I’m also a veritable mac n’ cheese fiend. Sainsbury’s readymeal variety, if I’m being specific, but any mac n’ cheese will do in a pinch.

Last book I read: I mean, I’ve just finished the sixth volume of The Wicked and the Divine, which I always love catching up on with every new trade paperback release. However, I’m currently making my way through The Orchid Thief, which is one of my assigned texts for my creative non-fiction module. Unlike with most assigned texts, I’m really enjoying it so far. I also recently reread one of my favourite books by my favourite author, which is The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater.

Three fave fandoms: Fall Out Boy is my most favourite, but past that it’s a bit of a tight race. I’d have to say The Wicked + The Divine and Pokemon. I also really used to enjoy being part of the Steam Powered Giraffe, Sherlock and Steven Universe fandoms, but I fell out of love with all of those for various reasons.

I’m going to tag @shark-myths, @strangerdarkerbetter and @sheisalreadyhere, along with anyone else who wants to do it! If you want to take part, please tag me so I can see your answers- I’d hate to miss out on getting to know you all a little better <3

She might even have a sideblog she uses to post her writings about Marilynn. —// Cool photography. Drawings. Art in general.

15. How do they type? Do they use emojis? Do abbreviate and shorten words? —// She’s a fast typist. She begrudgingly used emojis at first but then falls in love with them. 🤷🏼‍♀️ —// When texting Marilynn she’ll shorten things. But on her blog she’s mostly longhand everything. Usually just when she gets excited will she resort to things like “v sexy” or “btw” or something…?

16. If your OC was a film director, what kind of movies would they make? —// Gay ones. Lesbian indie romances. LGBTQ in general. —// She’d use lots of flowy imagery and close ups. Lingering scenery shots. —// She’d also want to direct sci-fi/fantasy.

She has some on her vanity and the rest in a photo album. —// She also collects little things she finds when traveling somewhere with Marilynn. Seashells, rocks, twigs, leaves, feathers, coins, other miscellaneous stuff people dropped like playing cards or dice or something.

20. Was your OC inspired by anything? Another character? A person? —// Yeah, she was originally inspired by my friend (crush at the time) Molly. Rebecca was originally a tall blonde just like Molly. Wlw like Molly (she’s bi though). Vocal. Social-minded. Nice. Beautiful. Smart.
