MUSIC

●fav genre? honestly, no faves. i usually end up liking all kinds of music.

●fav artist? taylor swift. i've been a massive swiftie since i was 11. like, a shrine in my closet kind of fan.

●fav song? all too well-taylor swift, safarnama by lucky ali

●most listened song recently? monster-jay-z, kanye west, rick ross, nicki minaj, bon iver. i've heard it enough times now to remember most of nicki's verse.

●song currently stuck in your head? el tango de roxanne from moulin rouge. it's the 'rrrOOOOXANNE' for me

●5 fav lyrics?

1.a woman's work/a woman's prerogative/a woman's time to embrace/she must put herself first-mary magdalene by fka twigs

2.you preached in front of one-hunnid-thousand but never reached her/i fuckin' tell you fuckin' failure—you ain't no leader!/i never liked you, forever despise you—i don't need ya-u by kendrick lamar

3.o jisey dhoonda/zamaane mein, mujh hi mein tha/o mere saare jawaabon ka safarnama/meri ore se utha teri ore ko kadam pehla/milenge hum-safarnama by lucky ali

4.i knew you/tried to change the ending/peter losing wendy, i/i knew you/leavin' like a father/running like water-cardigan by taylor swift

5.this thing upon me/howls like a beast/you flower, you feast-woman by harry styles

●radio or your own playlist | solo artists or bands (it's not a conscious decision though) | pop or indie | loud or silent volume I slow or fast songs | music video or lyric video (again, both. each has its own significance) | speakers or headset | riding a bus in silence or while listening to music (it's hell when i forget my headphones while i'm on the bus to uni) | driving in silence or with radio on (i'm not a very good driver so i need all the concentration i can get)

BOOKS

●fav book genre? umm, nowadays it's mostly stuff my friend reccomends me but ig i'd say i mostly read chick lit, or queer romances, or the sub genre of post apocalyptic shit (idek if its a thing). like idc what kind of apocalypse it is: zombies, the explosion of a supervolcano causing nuclear winter to descend over america, a post-nuclear-war world

●fav writer? i don't think i've read enough works of one particular writer to have one

●fav book series? the hunger games by suzanne collins. starting to appreciate it more and more as i grow older. plis suzanne don't come out as a transphobe and ruin another series for me

●comfort book? howl's moving castle by dianna wynne jones. if you thought the movie was chaos the book is cHaOs

●perfect book to read on a rainy day? pride and prejudice?

●fav characters? howl and sophie-howl's moving castle, katniss everdeen-the hunger games, skylar st. clair and rafael gives light-gives light

●5 quotes from your fav book that you know by heart? (only the first two i knew by heart, the rest i had to look up 🙃)

1.it was the best of times, it was the worst of times/ it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness/ it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity/ it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness/ it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair/we had everything before us/ we had nothing before us/ we were all going directly to heaven/ we were all going directly the other way-a tale of two cities by charles dickens (sorry if i got anything wrong but in my defence its a long ass intro)

2.these violent delights have violent ends/ and in their triumph die/ like fire and powder-romeo and juliet by shakespeare

3.it grew louder –louder, louder!/ and still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled/ was it possible they heard not?/ almighty god! –no, no! they heard!/ they suspected! –they knew! –they were making a mockery of my horror!- the telltale heart by edgar allen poe (it looks like a weird quote but in context it's positively chilling)

4.history, huh?-red, white & royal blue by casey mcquiston

5.deep into that darkness peering, long i stood there wondering, fearing/ doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before/ but the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token/ and the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "lenore?"/ this i whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "lenore!"/ merely this, and nothing more-the raven by edgar allen poe

●hardcover or paperback (most hardcovers are of similar size, so when they line up all organised and beautiful on my shelf it brings tears to my eyes) | buy or rent | standalone novels or book series (depends on how much content you need to write to create a perfect story, jane eyre as a standalone novel makes sense, a song of ice and fire as a series makes sense) | ebook or physical copy (but for environmental reasons i can give them up) | reading at night or during the day | reading at home or in nature (depends on the weather) | listening to music while reading or reading in silence | reading in order or reading the ending first (sometimes i just take a peek okay, i need to know if anyone died so i can stop reading) | reliable or unreliable narrator (again, depends on the context of the book) | realism or fantasy | one or multiple povs (depends) | judging by the covers or by the summary | rereading or reading just once

TV AND MOVIES

●fav tv/movie genre? i watch almost all genres except for action, ig.

●fav movie? mulan

●comfort movie? harry potter and the chamber of secrets

●movie you watch every year? mulan

●fav tv show? avatar the last airbender but brooklyn nine-nine and parks & recreation are close seconds

●comfort tv show? kitchen nightmares. sometimes it's just me binging compilation clips on youtube

●most watched tv show? avatar the last airbender. i've lost count

●ultimate otp? peraltiago, sukka. in non-canon its destiel (which pretty much crashed and burned)

●5 fav characters?

1.aang (avatar the last airbender)

2.amy santiago (brooklyn nine-nine)

3.leslie knope (parks and recreation)

4.anne shirley cuthbert (anne with an e)

5.suki (avatar the last airbender)

usually protagonists aren't as well liked but all these shows are so good you can't help but love them

●tv shows or movies (tv shows have more opportunities for better character and plot development. not that most make use of them) | short seasons (8-13 episodes) or full seasons (22 episodes or more) [depends on what the show is about] | one episode a week or binging (not much of a patient person) | one season or multiple seasons (again, depends. haunting of hill house was one season and it was perfect but the same can't be done with other shows) | one part or saga | half hour or one hour long episodes | subtitles on or off | rewatching or watching just once | downloads or watches online
