You ask the next poster a question, and then the next poster answers it and posts their own question.
Do you own any pets?
Simple yes/no answers probably.
What works/characters have you gotten emotionally invested in?

In my medical opinion the HEAVY IS DEAD!Well I think some of them are pretty obvious. So to be less obvious, I've been into Bee and Puppycat. I am really interested in the universe and the backstories of some of the characters and was pretty disappointed when the finale left a bunch of questions, and I hope they get answered in Lazy in Space.
I'm also invested in Steven Universe and I have been for quite some time now. I want to see where the series goes from where it is right now because the latest episode seemed pretty finale-ish to me, but I don't think it is?
I also got kind of invested in the last season of Star Vs. The Forces of Evil. I'm not very sure why but it kept me interested.
Are there any advertisements that really annoy you? Sturgeon's Law is too YMMV for page examples, so WHY is it not a YMMV trope!?
As a rule, most Spotify ads did when I was a free user. I think the most egregious one was probably the PlayStation Music one because, in addition to having a bit of that "all games are Call of Duty, oo-rah" kind of pandering tone to it, the thing had gunfire and a megaphone-like whine to the announcer's voice. Not exactly what I want to hear if I'm just chilling out with ODESZA. My college friends got me Premium for my birthday one year and I've never looked back since.
Do the weird names they use at Starbucks for the drink sizes bother you at all?

oh, that's why I need this binary mind // ⌘Yeah, actually. Why can't they just say "medium" or "large" like everyone else? It feels more unnecessary than memorable to me.
What's your least favourite genre of music?
Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?Hard to say for me. For me I guess as long a song sounds good i like, but if it doesn't i don't.
What's the best meal you've ever had?
The League of Heroes5th birthday supper. Bologna and cheese sandwiches cut into the shape of ducks. A++.
(Obviously not a completely serious answer, but it's the first time I remember I requested a meal and got it, and it made me feel very powerful.)
Favorite Duo Trope?
It's between Interclass Friendship and Lover and Beloved.
Do you have any experience with philosophy?
I go to church often, so if religion counts as philosophy, then yes.
Who is your favorite and least favorite villain?
It's been 3000 years…My favourite villain is Jacob Black and my least favourite villain is the Joker from the Batman movies and comics.
If you could do anything in the world, what would you do first?

In an anime, I'll be the Tsundere Dark Magical Girl who likes purple MY own profile is actually HERE!Assuming you really mean anything, create some alternate dimensions.
Do you have any unusual skills?
Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?Ack, there are so many things I'd want to do first... The first things that came to mind are end world hunger, end poverty, and cause world peace. Although I for some reason have a bad feeling that it would somehow cause problems as a consequence, but if I had the ability to do anything in the world then I'd be able to do it in a way that would be permanently good with no negatives, right?
If you wanted something a bit more 'selfish', I would make sure that my family and I have enough money to permanently live comfortably with a very good amount of extra money, and I would donate a bunch of extra money to charities and help people that need money.
(I ended up typing all of this up before the new post. ^^;)
Unusual skills... Uh... I can do that tongue U-shape thing? I'm not sure what else would be unusual (If that's even unusual).
Is there something you can do that you feel proud and happy with?
Edited by CrystalMemoria on May 26th 2019 at 10:04:58 AM
I don't mind some acid jazz! I'm not too well-versed in it, but I think it sounds kinda cool.
Is there anything you're looking forward to this upcoming summer?
"YOU SHALL FEEL THE FLOWER'S WRATH"Just being on TvTropes more often.
Have you ever listened to Mishovy Šílenosti's songs?
Join this...
Yes, I have and some of them were cringy af but in a fascinating way.
Anyone here read Berserk manga?
"Making screw-ups and mistakes was I ever really good at. Because everything I touch went to hell."Pokémon Alpha Sapphire is my favourite Pokémon game and one of my favourite games in general. I haven't actually played any of the original Hoenn games, however.
Are there any pages on TV Tropes that you actively avoid?
You can find me here now.Stuffed in the Fridge, Executive Meddling and Music Is Politics. All the examples of those tropes on their pages depress me and make me not want to pursue any form of art.
Favourite Psychedelic Rock album? (or, favourite Comic Book from the last 20 years)
Obvious choice, Sgt Pepper's. Less obvious choice, Red Red Groovy's 25.
What good movies have horrible soundtracks?
Who are the ones that we kept in charge? Killers, thieves, and lawyers. God's away, god's away, god's away on business... business.My feelings on this one are a bit complicated, but I'll go for it anyway: for as great as the MCU is on a cinematic level and with all of Hollywood's talent at Disney's beck and call, as a series it's really kinda lacking when it comes to having identifiable scores and sounds for the roster. The most notable exceptions here are the Avengers theme (iconic, but used in the flagship films to represent the entire team), the Guardians of the Galaxy (more characterized by classic 70's jams than any original scores for the movies themselves), Thor with "Immigrant Song" (same deal) and Black Panther (whose score and soundtrack are both actually hella distinctive and cool courtesy of Ludwig Goransson and Kendrick Lamar et al.).
Since it has so many different composers working on it and with the individual series having their sounds switch as they come and go, most of it kinda ends up muddling into a pool of forgettable mush. None of it is necessarily horrible or even bad at all, but there's something about the approach that needs to be tweaked to accommodate the still developing "universe" style of storytelling the MCU pioneered on the silver screen.
Do you binge watch shows, or break them up and watch them over a longer period of time?
Edited by Tre on May 26th 2019 at 12:48:19 PM
oh, that's why I need this binary mind // ⌘Generally binge when it's anime—I tend to watch up to 40 episodes per day when I'm not busy—and break them up when it's anything else.
What's your stance on "hipster food" (charcoal ice cream, bubble tea, ramen burgers, etc)?
Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?Eh, food is food and if it sounds good and interesting I'll likely try it, "hipster" or not. I like trying out new and different food in general (Also I love bubble tea x3)
What things releasing later this year are you looking forwards to?
"Leftover items still have value!"I am looking forwards to the game Samurai of Hyuga 4 impatiently.
If you could redo your entire life, what would you try first?
In an anime, I'll be the Tsundere Dark Magical Girl who likes purple MY own profile is actually HERE!I'm serious. Fuck having to relive so many years of being told "You're too young to do/know this" and "You're old enough to know better about that, so shame on you!". I swear, the Double Standards against kids (of all things) is so ironically childish and (in my humble opinion) several times worse than double standards against gender, race, and sexuality. Yeah, it seems like the only role children have in our "land of the free" is to be political shields and indoctrinated servants to authority (aka school).
Honestly, the idea of having to grow up again after knowing all of this? Just hell no.
Have you vented a good rant recently?
These two may literally be more bark than bite, but they are no less tenacious than everyone else.
Nah, bottomposts are better, even if they're just useless bump posts so that the next HGS update can be on top.
Most anticlimactic answer you got in this thread?
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"
