one thing you would change about how people perceive you?

describe your writing style in a word.

concerning, to quote my school counselor.

note: she actually said my style is concerning, not the content (well she mentioned that later) . i'm not exactly sure what she means but i agree.

any favorite comedians?

john mulaney and robin williams.

a song that never gets old?

carry on wayward son.

your writing process?

i wouldn’t call it much of a process, i mostly just scribble down fragments that come to me randomly then try to string them together and sometimes it makes sense. that’s why a lot of my poetry has stanzas that seem completely different even if they really all mush together to form a decent poem.

what’s your sense of humour like?

places plush bat on my head he go flap flap bite raWR

that’s funny to me.

really tho my humor is mostly just fandom references and gay jokes.

what’s the best thing about your culture?

there are a lot of cultures i could talk about, but the first thing that comes to mind rn is black culture so imma talk about that.

our hairstyles are fuckin gorgeous!! god, cornrows never really suited me but they jsut,,,look?? soo??? nice???? and dreads are so cool idc about ignorant ppl saying they’re ugly and unkempt bc newsflash if you see someone who just got dreads and their hair is really dry it actually means it’s clean and no having dreads does not mean you go ages without washing your hair and actually we can’t wash our hair as frequently as people with other hairtypes bc um our hair works differently and that’s okay bc our hair is beautiful no matter what we do to it bc we’re beautiful <3

an author you’re inspired by?

ocean vuong!! i swear, i will not let myself be confident until i am as talented as him; yes, not good for me i know but i can’t really tell.

tell me why you think poetry is important.

well, i’d love to have some wise answer, but really i just think it’s important bc it’s beautiful. sometimes that’s enough.

why you such a goddex?

dionysus took me in and taught me how to be a queer theatre hoe like him, thanks for asking.

lauren or loki?

loki all the way.

hermione granger or a rocket ship?

astaa’s questions:

which character trope do you embody?

murderous bisexual.

do you like taking uquizzes?

yes!! uquiz is buzzfeeds smart sibling that not enough people know about.

who’s your favourite problematic classic writer?

i don’t think i have a favorite? i used to be quite fond of john steinbeck’s “of mice and men”. i think the part of me that knew i wasn’t neurotypical was angered by the treatment of lennie, but i interpreted that anger as pity.

beauty of sunrise or the mystics of sunset? twilight (the time of day lol) or midnight?

love that you claried that it’s the time of day, ty; i hate the books. anyways, midnight. i live on this hill so if i climb to the top of it (wouldn’t advise at that time of night bc coyotes and raccoons but i did it anyways) you can see downtown and it’s quite lovely when it’s so dark.

as it’s also black history month (here at least), what is your favourite book - fiction or non fiction, poetry or novel - by a black author? (have to say that for me, ‘i know why the caged bird sings’ is just amazing i really adore maya angelou!)

ah black history month isn’t until febuary here. so, i absolutely adore frederick douglass’ autobiography and i highly suggest it to everyone. he is an excellent writer and the book is so freakin’ empowering when you really take in what his life was. also, his speeches are fantastic as well so yeah please read those if you haven’t!!
