Because I’m a lazy bitch I’m not going to make up new questions. Besides, the ones that @mrscullensrutherford​ came up with are awesome already. Tagged friends, please reply to these same questions!

1. What is the first thing you do in the morning?
Hit the snooze button. No joke. Fuck mornings.

2. What was the last book you read?
Milk and Honey, by Rupi Kaur. It’s a poetry collection – I usually don’t like poetry that much but I LOVED this book. 

3. What consumes your mind? What do you think about most often?
Uhhhh…. The next piece of Aloy/Nil smut or fluff I’m going to write? Is it bad if this is like 90% true? HAHAHAHA… FML.

4. PC or Console?
Console. PS4 specifically. I haven’t played a game on PC since Diablo. 

5. What draws you to a character?
– Characters in general: a good backstory. A character who’s not holier-than-thou or too much of a goody-good. Importantly, a character with emotional range and complexity. Prime examples: Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn (and uh like every fucking character from HZD actually), Garrus Vakarian from Mass Effect, Nathan Drake (and Sam Drake!) from Uncharted.
– Love interest characters: I have a terrible weakness for the Bad Boy (or girl!) with Complicated Pasts/Secret Pain/a Tender Heart (whether the complicated past/secret pain/tender heart is canon or just my own HC). Examples: Nil from HZD (#1 Murder Husband), Reyes Vidal from Mass Effect, Damon Salvatore from Vampire Diaries, Aria T’Loak from Mass Effect. 

6. What is the scariest thing you’ve ever done?
HAH. Nothing. I’m boring. 
If I had to pick, I guess I’d say moving from my home city (Toronto) to an unfamiliar city (Montreal) where I knew nobody. I’m a homebody and a scaredy cat who gets homesick really easily. It was easily the best choice I’ve ever made for myself – I made some amazing BFFs, met my fiancé, finished two Master’s degrees and fell in love with the city itself.

7. What is something most people don’t know about you?
I’ve got a raging bitch hidden beneath this cute little smile. HAHAHAH.

8. What is your favorite movie?
Her, with Scarlet Johanssen and Joaquim Phoenix. Incredible sci-fi and incredible romance movie, with an incredible soundtrack by Arcade Fire.

9. What are your goals for 2018?
Uhhhh… go on a fucking trip somewhere? I didn’t travel anywhere in 2017 and it’s kind of making my soul slowly die. 

10. Do you create playlists of songs?
YES. EVERY MONTH. FOR EVERY MOOD. FOR EVERY FIC. I have two Aloy/Nil playlists and a Reyes Vidal (SEX) playlist. I’m a playlist fiend.

11. What is one thing you love about yourself?
I was talking to @makocartwheels about the fact that women tend not to praise themselves for their strengths and good qualities enough, so how about I go against that and make a little list of things I like about my damn self?
– I’m a good writer. I write the smuts and the relationships good.
– I can use liquid eyeliner to do a fine cat’s eye, thank you very much.
– I’m a good listener and I can see both sides of (almost) any story. I’m so sympathetic/empathetic that I’m pretty sure I would get Harley Quinned if I ever met the Joker.
– I’m a good cook and baker. 
– I’m an excellent flirt (not that I do that much anymore – see above mentioned fiancé). 

And now for the tags: @horizonfan12 @hellarcanine @makocartwheels @erendandaloy (throwing your questions back at you, girl!) @bluegreenketchup @littlesnowarrow @jadefyre @sun-bae Uhhh… and now I’ve run out of steam. If I missed you and you want to play, please feel free to join in! I especially want to hear your answers to question #11. DON’T BE FUCKING SHY, YA’LL. SHOUT YOUR OWN PRAISE.
