Ask the next poster a question

I don't partake in fandoms all that much, but we Fire Emblem fans are enjoying Heroes' one-year anniversary while waiting with the most bated breath ever for even the tiniest tidbit of news about the upcoming Switch game. Oh, and I think some Fire Emblem Warriors DLC came out recently, but I don't play that game.

Favorite spinoff of your favorite franchise?

Probably Daria

You have any weekend plans?

Finally finish this particular video I'm making in MMD. This segment is one I've had to redo due to technical errors and my own inability to use the program properly. Keep in mind it's about 2000 frames long, so... Yeah, it's been gruelling. Otherwise, I plan to get some manga volumes (some of Assasination Classroom)!

TNP, how was your week?

It went From Bad to Worse pretty quickly...and is now hanging in there at "Worse." It's not getting any worse than that, at least not for the moment. It will get better, though, one way or another.

Have you ever had an exotic pet? If so, please tell us all about it. ^_^

No, just a doggo.

Which of these is your more favorite smart-ass response: Mathematician's Answer or Rhetorical Question Blunder?

I prefer the Get a Stupid Answer approach myself, but of the two options, I prefer Mathematician's Answer, if only because I use that more often.

Cake or death?

Cake please.

What's your favorite kind of toy? (Action figures, vehicles, playsets, etc.)

Coloring books! They've always been my favorite. They have just enough structure, but what one does with that structure is completely open to interpretation. (I personally like to color the ladies in my niece's Barbie coloring books with dark skin or freckles or gray hair; add wrinkles; and basically make them look like anything but teenage white girls. With some strategic pen marks and whiteout, I put one of them in a hijab!)

Would you rather go to an amusement park or a waterpark?

Waterparks all the way! Love the thrill you get when you slide down the waterslide.

How well do your plans go?

When I make them (which is almost never tbh), not all that well? I just never end up sticking to them at all.

How was your week?

Like every other week. By contrast, this week Shall. Be. Special.

What's the worst way you've seen a fictional character die? No names because spoilers.

Oh boy, there are a lot of horrible ways to die in fiction. The most horrible one I've seen, though... It's really obvious if you know the Anime and manga world well.

It goes like this-

There was once a girl who was close to her pet.

One day, a notorious killer came in- The girl and the pet were in an unfortunate and sad situation, for their father was in debt. The killer killed their parent and then killed the girl and her pet. The death was instantaneous, and thus the pain was quick- But there, on a stormy day, laid a girl, a pet, and their only parent. The only sounds heard were the rain and thunder, lighting up the room for only a second. On the floor was cold red blood, splattered across broken tiles and glass. Stillness was all that was seen- A brutal crime.

...It was really obviously Nina Tucker and her dog, Alexander. OH GOD.

TNP, what's the scariest thing you've seen in fiction that isn't in an already-horror themed work?

There was a Looney Tunes Halloween special one year. The toons had to fight off imitations of themselves, like Pod People. They were badly drawn, Flanderized, perseverating imitations, and they scared the crap out of me. I had nightmares about that show for YEARS. (Most recently, about two years ago.)

Someone hands you a gift-wrapped box. What do you hope is inside?

Something fandom-y. Then I'd immediately Squee!

How good are you at coming up with ideas?

In the case of story concepts and such, I would hope that I'd be pretty good at it, but at the same time I also find myself coming back to some of the ones I've had in the past that proved to have staying power (case in point: I still want to write Stuck and make it A Thing even though I originally came up with it in a completely different form as an eight-year-old).

Do you have a playlist of songs you frequently listen to, or do you prefer to hear stuff track by track?

edited 20th Feb '18 8:44:29 AM by Tre

I have playlists for pokemon songs and epidemic sound music, both of which I listen to frequently.

Do you like late nights or early mornings?

Depends on the mood I'm in, but generally late nights.

How often do you have trouble sleeping?

More times than I don't, certainly.

What question are you going to ask?

Well, the amusingly meta one I had can't top that one, sooo... instead I'm gonna ask this:

Do you ever find yourself amused by Names The Same situations?

Yes.

What is the most difficult puzzle or riddle that you have solved without a guide?

Possibly the entirety of the DLC dungeon in Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

What kind of scenery do you find pretty?

Anything lush and green and warm, from Ghibli Hills to The Lost Woods to Jungle Japes to Palmtree Panic. (Unfortunately, it's winter, and it just snowed, so there's dirty slush everywhere. Real Is Brown and it's cold and it's gross.)

Are you for or against dressing animals up in costumes? (Only if they tolerate it, of course.)

Yes

What's your favorite instance of What An Idiot?

This is hard, I'm not a huge fan of that trope. But! Weird Al in "A Complicated Song." The ride operator warns him to stay seated on the roller coaster, he stands up, and Off with His Head! My inner ride operator loves that. :D

What is your favorite amusement park ride?

In general I go for anything really fast and wild :3 Some of my favorite types would be the frisbee style rides, along with rollercoasters - the more extreme the better!

What's your favorite So Bad, It's Good work?
