The Rules:

Display the Award Logo.
Thank the blogger who nominated you and post a link to their blog.
Answer the questions of the one who nominated you.
Nominate 7-10 bloggers.
Ask them seven questions.

Questions:

What was a pop culture trend that you found was kinda meh? This is probably the most controversial and hypocritical thing I have ever put on my blog. I really hate snap chat filters. Especially when people use them for transformation photos, challenges, etc. They distort your face, and we can’t actually tell what you look like under there… I say to myself as I snap a selfie on the couch still in my pajamas with no make up on while my hair is a mess. SIGH.

Favourite character in any form of media? Asuna Yuuki if my cosplays and bookshelves have anything to say about it. Low key though, it’s Baby Yoda. Oops, I mean The Child.

What’s a story trend that you love to see in media? Strong independent female leads who don’t need anybody but also love stories that are so sweet they make you sick. I love a good cry and a slow burning romance. I’m a complicated individual.

A thing that everyone hates that you love. (Extra Rule for Ellen: Don’t put Final Fantasy XIII or Mass Effect Andromeda) Ellen has her hands full with this question. Based on recent events, everyone has been upset about game companies pushing back release dates. I have to admit that I’m not bothered by it in the least. I’d rather a game come out looking its best than have a ton of bugs and be unpolished. Plus I consider myself a patient gamer so it’ll probably be a year before I play it anyway! Except Animal Crossing. Please don’t delay AC.

Best film you’ve watched? Recently? I can’t actually recall a “best film” from this year or last year. I had several I enjoyed but found flaws with like Rise of Skywalker. My favorite movie is ever changing but one I will always say is my favorite is Balto.

Who are some of your favourite creative minds of today? Laura Price for anyone who dabbles in 2D art and digital drawing. Alice Thorpe for general freelancing and digital artwork. The Sorry Girls and Draw Scott for DIY and home inspo. Give me some artists in the comments for me to check out!

What podcasts do you usually listen to? My taste in podcasts was a WIDE range. I love true crime like Last Podcast on the Left and Serial Killers, life talks like Sierra Unfiltered and Pretty Basic. I recently started listing to American Glutton and love it.
