fandomhigh_ooc | Meme: Questions

Hey so I know we had a meme yesterday but sometimes you wake up at 12:45 in the god damn morning and can't sleep and so you give up and spend that time coming up with sooo many questions for a meme you last did in April. I have to be up in two hours.

And actually looking at that last post I wonder how long I've been sleeping weird. ANYWAY.

Pose a question (or as many as you'd like, and they don't all have to be in one comment, so you can come back later and add more if you want) to your fellow students, teachers, townies, alumni and expatriates, and they will answer them. These are IC questions and IC answers and should be truthful! They can be personal or silly. You don't have to answer all of them! Nothing counts in game, of course and etc.

So, for example, I'd ping in with a question like 'Are you in love? If so, with who? If not, why not?' And people ping in under me and answer that question. There's no latesies on this, because of the format, so people can ping in at their leisure. And ANYONE can ask questions!

What's something you will talk about at length if given the opportunity?

Industrialization, capitalism, and its destructive effect on the environment. 'Eco-friendly' products that greenwash terrible practices.

Horticulture.

Necromancy, magical theories, mana philosophy, myself, poetry, music, literature, everything I loathe about angels (a truly extensive list), wine, cuisine, Ravnica, Strixhaven...

Truly an endless list. I find a great deal of things fascinating and I adore talking about fascinating things.

Old sitcoms.

Potted plants, 80s synthwave, the charm of empty office buildings late at night when you're on janitorial duty, Area 51, Bigfoot...

Either art or explosives. Or art and explosives.

Okay, so let’s talk about Carol Danvers, because honestly, I could do this all day. (Sorry, Captain Rogers. Not trying to steal your line) She’s not just a hero, she’s like... the hero. She’s everything I want to be! She’s strong and brave and she never backs down, even when things get tough or when the whole universe is literally falling apart. I mean, come on, how many people can say they’ve punched through a spaceship? Or gone toe-to-toe with gods and not blinked? Carol's out there saving the galaxy and doing it with this fierce look that says, "I’ve got this," and you know what? She does have it! Always!

It's more than just her powers, though. It’s her heart, her sheer will to stand up for what's right, even when it’s not the easiest thing to do. She’s got this way of inspiring everyone around her. Like, you see her doing something amazing, and suddenly, you’re like, "Yeah, I could do that too!" because she makes you believe you can. She never makes you feel small. (Okay maybe the first time we met but that was in a crisis) She makes you feel like you’re part of something bigger, like you could be right there by her side, punching bad guys and saving the day.

And then there’s the way she’s totally fearless about being herself, like she’s unapologetically Carol Danvers, and that’s enough to knock out any doubts or insecurities you might have about being who you are. She taught me that being different isn’t a weakness. It’s your strength. It’s what makes you who you are, and you should own that, no matter what anyone else says.

Oh, and don’t even get me started on how she flies! Like, actual flight! She’s soaring through the stars, blazing trails in space, and it’s like watching pure freedom. She doesn't need anything to ground her because she’s limitless. She’s out there showing us all that the sky is not the limit! It’s just the beginning! I dream of that sometimes, you know? Soaring through the sky with her, just feeling like nothing can hold us back.

And yeah, I know people talk about how she’s all tough and no-nonsense, but I’ve seen her smile, and it’s like a million suns lighting up the galaxy. That’s the Carol I know! The one who’s got this softness underneath all that strength, who fights so hard because she genuinely cares about people. And the way she stood up for me, the way she made me believe I could be a hero too, that I could make a difference. It changed my life. We share name, she gave me my purpose, and I can’t even put into words what that means to me.

Carol Danvers is my hero, my inspiration, my everything. She’s the reason I believe in heroes in the first place, and the reason I believe in myself. If I could be even a fraction of what she is, then I know I’m doing something right. Because Captain Marvel isn’t just a name; it’s hope, it’s courage, it’s everything I want to be. And I’m just so, so grateful that she’s out there, lighting up the universe and making sure we all know that we’re never alone.
