YIAY

Go To

Inspired by Jacksfilms’s Yesterday I Asked You series, or YIAY for short. I’m going to ask a Jacksfilms-style question, and other posters must give humorous answers. Tomorrow, I will repeat the question and give my favorite answers. I will then let another poster ask a new question, and the cycle repeats (at least) every day.

Example of a YIAY video.

If the original poster isn’t available to give their favorite answers, another poster is free to step in and give theirs (barring their own).

I have a question for you. Describe TV Tropes in just 4 words.

This is harder than usual for Christmas...

Do I want Marie-Antoinette or Zelda Fitzgerald?

Argh, this is hard...

Fuck it. All I want for Christmas is a fusion of both Marie Antoinette and Zelda Fitzgerald. Satisfy my historical lady cravings all at once.

CardboardBot's baptism. It'd be nice for him to get Christmas presents next year, ya know? tongue That way he can take part in this question if it ever shows up again.

Sure, we could always have a Ramadan-themed question, but why opt for the simple solution?


[down] 1) It's a joke. I ended it with — "Sure, we could always have a Ramadan-themed question, but why opt for the simple solution?" — to make that part more clear.
2) CarboardBot outright mentioned not celebrating Christmas for religious reasons.

[down] (EDIT 2) Nah it's OK.

(EDIT 3) Actually, I apologize if CardboardBot found my post offensive. I didn't mean offense.

I dislike the implication here that you have to be Christian to participate in Christmas.

Edit: [up] I did kind of type without thinking. Knee jerk reaction. Sorry.

Yesterday I asked you What do you all want for Christmas? Nice to see some holiday cheer from everyone. And Santa is giving presents to these following people:

  • "Your heart. No, I mean literally your heart."
-BackSet1

-Berrenta

  • "This is harder than usual for Christmas...

Do I want Marie Antoinette or Zelda Fitzgerald?

Argh, this is hard...

Fuck it. All I want for Christmas is a fusion of both Marie Antoinette and Zelda Fitzgerald. Satisfy my historical lady cravings all at once." -Cutegirl920fire

  • Of course, of all people, the Muslim had to be asked too...
-Cardboard Bot

  • "Cardboard Bot's baptism. It'd be nice for him to get Christmas presents next year, ya know? tongue That way he can take part in this question if it ever shows up again.

Sure, we could always have a Ramadan-themed question, but why opt for the simple solution?" -m-95

  • "They should invent winter gift-exchange holidays for people with weird and fucked-up religions nobody else has ever heard of."
-winged​catgirl

BTW, I hope two of these choices don't prove controversial. I'm just taking things in good humor and I assume everyone else is too. It's all for fun, and it seems a bit edgy, sure, but I know it's all in jest and I hope everyone else believes it too
