About Me tag game!

I got tagged by @kunstpause! Thank you, my friend!

1: Why did you choose your url?

I decided around 20...14? 15? Right around when I transitioned, I think. Anyway I decided that with my real life name change, I wanted to reinvent myself in fandom spaces. Which, at the time, was mostly just my fanfiction dot net account. So I decided to just make a new one, which meant coming up with a new name, and I literally didn't think about that until I was sitting at the account creation window like SHIT NOW WHAT.

So there I was glancing around frantically for inspiration. And the pro choir I was in at the time was doing a Lent series featuring the Jan Dismas Zelenka Miserere in D minor. Zelenka is one of my favorite Baroque composers, and my potato brain was like hahah Dismas sounds like Dismal and THAT PIECE DO BE DISMAL so I cackled at my stupid pun and typed dismalzelenka into the username box and haven't looked back since.

2: Any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.

@projectdizposition is my hilariously inactive barely put together blog I made in a hypomania fueled frenzy a few years ago when I was like I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO PRACTICE COMPOSING MORE USING FAN MATERIAL and then did like two short pieces and never touched it again. I might start posting the fandom covers I do on there, but for now it's kind of dead so don't look bahaha

3: How long have you been on tumblr?

I genuinely do not remember. I think I made one back in 2012 and never got on it and forgot both the username and password? I did a lot of drugs back then during my idiotic and misspent youth so my memories are. Woof. Not clear. I made a transition related blog in 2014, and I think I deactivated it for trauma reasons. Maybe deleted it. I don't really remember that either.

The current one has been around since I catapulted myself into the Dragon Age fandom in December of 2017. I've been a brightly burning trash heap ever since. 😊

4: Do you have a queue tag?

I tried to but I could never keep in my memory what it was and kept having to go back to old posts to remind myself and eventually just gave up lmaooo

5: Why did you start your blog in the first place?

So I could wake up every morning and lovingly gaze upon pictures of Anders. I'm a trash can trash man and I own this, ok?

6: Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

I recently updated all of my fandom pictures to be of Blitzkrieg Bop, my Very Photogenic Cat who loves to pose for pictures and is very good at it. Purely because I felt like it.

7: Why did you choose your header?

hahahaha it was a ridiculous Skyrim mod glitch and it just so perfectly encapsulated my general mood and also the constant mood of the character in question that I had to make it public.

8: What’s your post with the most notes?

A Solstice blessing I posted around Yule really blew up. I didn't expect people to like it so much but it made me happy to know it brought joy to so many people. The next highest one is my "the Amells are a walking shitpost" meta post 😂

9: How many mutuals do you have?

Gonna be honest, I don't even know how to start looking for this information.

10: How many followers do you have?

1057, but I never bother going through for porn and spambots so the actual count is probably much lower. I can never be arsed to care enough to put forth the effort of cleaning it up.

11: How many people do you follow?

878? I don't ever go through that either. I probably should soon, but. 🙈 It sounds very stressful.

12: Have you ever made a shitpost?

I am in fact a walking shitpost. Shitposts tumble forth from my void on a daily basis. Sometimes I fear it is the only language I speak with any measure of fluency.

13: How often do you use tumblr each day?

Probably too much.

14: Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

Y'all, listen. I am a Grade A WEENIE. I am a walking Pisces stereotype. I hate confrontation with a burning passion. If someone tries to start a fight with me, I make one (1) attempt at a civil conversation and then I block, because my mental health is not worth that shit. I have to yell at people in real life enough for work things, I do not have the energy for it in fandom too. Please be nice to me. I am fragile. 🥺

15: How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

Please Do Not. I hate this shit. Why does anyone think guilt tripping someone into reposting their content is going to do any bit of good in this world?

16: Do you like tag games?

I am a cat, and tag games are my catnip. Tag me in literally anything.

17: Do you like ask games?

I do! As you have probably surmised at this point, I am a Very Wordy Boy. Especially when I get to talk about my characters. I'm like Maes Hughes with the photos of his family in his wallet. HAVE YOU SEEN MY CHILDREN TODAY? That's me. Let me show you my children.

19: Do you have a crush on a mutual?

I have a crush on several of you motherfuckers. Stop being so goddamn attractive and cute. It's woefully distracting and I'm probably in love with you.

I have no idea who to tag, because from what I've seen just about everyone who I could tag has already been tagged so I'm just throwing my usual tag list on here and hoping it catches the very specific intersection of people who both haven't yet been tagged and would like to do this. Feel 100% free to ignore it if this sort of thing does not appeal to you. I love you pls don't hate me I am Very Scattered today. 🥺
