is this ok to reblog? i am not the anon but that hand thing is a REALLY cool concept
GO FOR IT MY BUDDY
sroloc--elbisivni asked: Have you ever read The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate?
I haven’t. I don’t generally have the attention span for nonfiction or realistic fiction (that’s what…like…reality is for), sorry!
“Is it actual clowns or people dressed up as clowns” is such a dip into the modern human psyche where we all just collectively know that “clown” is a species

Anonymous asked: If humans had a third hand what do you think it would be called? If you could play any instrument without practicing, what would it be?
First one: This? The greatest question. Okay so like obviously if it was a hand that sprouted from like right above your sternum, it would be called the middle hand, seeing as we already have the right and left hands (fun story, you know that phantom limb thing that happens with ADHD, among other things? My brain used to really stubbornly spit out ‘middle eye’ as A Thing I Had when I was younger, it was weird). On the other hand (ha, I’m a riot), if it was another hand below either your right or left hand (wouldn’t it be interesting if it was genetically dictated which side you had your third hand on, like handedness is genetically dictated or which thumb is on top when you lace your fingers) I imagine you would still have a ‘dominant’ hand. Like, one of the three would be more dexterous than the others. So maybe you’d have like “Yes, this is my left hand, and this is my right hand, and this is my prime hand.” WHICH WOULD BE RAD. Also, if you had two pairs of hands you could have your ‘prime’ hands and your ‘off’ hands, so like ‘prime left’ and ‘off right’ and yeah, this was a good question.
Second one: ANY. I have very limited patience for learning instruments because I can’t read sheet music for shit (I have tried, I have made an effort, I have spent years on it, but nope, brain won’t do the thing). I can sing! But IDK I played the flute for a while, which was fun, and I’ve always wanted to be able to play like a harp or a lap harp, or the guitar. I would really love to play either of those. (I recognize that the flute and the harp are both really delicate instruments for someone like me but I like them, okay. At least the guitar fits The Aesthetic.)
Anonymously ask me anything you want to know!
Anonymous asked: um. this is oddly specific, but have you by any chance read familiar by achievingelysium? its altean!lance and its like solid langst, so [shrug]. just wondering. sorry i know its weirdly specific but i do have Reasons for asking.
I have not! I haven’t read a ton of Voltron fic (although I recommend the hell out of the Let The Spectrum In series because it’s just…real good) because…well, I just dragged myself out from under my thesis, and off the top of my head I don’t recall any Altean!Lance fics. I think this is possibly because my response is always “????? 10000 years where?” but then again I get literal at weird moments.
littlestartopaz asked: Parents meme: Alanna the Lioness and Natsume Takashi (from Natsume Yuujincho) Alanna: fighty, heavy sense of justice, does what she wants. Takashi: kind to a fault, accepts (almost) everyone. Takashi is the hands on, quiet parent. Growing up he seems like kind of a push over, but he doesn't humor pushing boundaries in his own quiet way. A parent you know will never be against you. Alanna teaches you how to fight and stand firm. Stand for what you believe and do it even if society is against it.
…this is weirdly accurate.
