how is leo doing?
Sorry I didn't get to answering this until now! Kennel cough aside, Leo is doing great. He's settled into my place where he loves to play, nap, eat, and go to work with me. He gets along with other dogs and has one specific friend there who he plays with nonstop, and he loves, loves hanging out with my coworkers. It's hard to believe I've only had him for 5 months!
sending love to you and pup <3
<3 thank you!
what's your favorite non-dog non-penguin animal(s)?
Otters, foxes, leopard geckos, ducks...many others I'm sure.
CC here!! How was your Christmas, did you do anything fun, and if you got any gifts did you get anything good!!
Hey CC!! I had a nice quiet Christmas that mostly consisted of me visiting with my folks for breakfast (we had cannoli crepes and bacon) and then dinner in the evening (pork roast, red cabbage, baked apples and gnocchi). In the time between I took it easy and took Leo for walks.
For gifts--my main one was my trip to Missouri/Ohio with my partner early this month! I also received a daily dog calendar, a t-shirt reading "The Dogfather" (with Godfather parody font), Lil' Leo manga by Moto Hagio, and money.
I hope you had a relaxing and merry Christmas yourself!
what's your favorite christmas cookie?
I don't really know of any beyond the standard frosted sugar cookies!

what's a horror trope you want to see more often?
I am easy and want to see more gender role-reversed scenarios with guys getting terrorized by women. Not the yandere/"women scorned"-type scenarios or anything with an undercurrent of irony--I want to see a full-on reversal, male Laurie Stodes being stalked by female Michael Meyers, female Freddy Kreugers invading the nightmares of male Nancy Thompsons, and so on.
what’s a scene or concept that really freaked you out in a non-horror canon?
Discounting things that freaked me out as a kid--Captain Holly's recollection of the warren's destruction in the 1978 Watership Down movie is one of the most vividly horrifying things I've ever seen. I didn't see the movie until I was in college, the most I knew about it beforehand were the screenshots of bloodied up rabbits, and that scene totally took me off-guard.
As far as concepts go--any kind of "fate worse than death"/I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream-type scenario tends to burrow its way into my brain and stay there. For non-horror examples, I'm thinking of things like the ending of Being John Malkovich, the fates of Cars and Diavolo in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure--no matter how despicable the character it happens to is I'm always kind of shaken up by it!
What’s your favorite autumn activity? Do you have any Halloween traditions?
I love going for walks to look at the changing leaf colors and eating warm, autumn-associated foods like baked apples.
Don't really have any set in stone Halloween traditions (aside from picking up candy at the store for possible trick-or-treaters--but mostly for myself) though I always dig through a lot of horror and Halloween-related specials throughout the month. The last three years I've gone to a haunted attraction with a friend and I'd like to maintain that! Since getting a dog, I imagine I'm also going to be subjecting him to a different costume every year.
What’s something fun that’s happened to you in the past two months?
I went to a friend's birthday party at a retro game shop where we watched Chibi Maruko-chan, played fighting games, and danced until 3am. I learned I actually like dancing a lot, even when most of it is just me incorporating various exercise routines
CC here!! Are there any Summer 2024 anime that you're interested in checking out?
Hey CC!! Nothing this season has really caught my attention, though it does remind me I still have to finish the first season of Nier Automata now that the second one's going to air.
what are your favorite types of questions to receive :3
Ahhh -anything- that can spring me into analysis mode!! "How did you interpret (x) scene", "why do you think (x) character did (x)"--don't know if those help for examples! I'm always itching to write mini-essays on things I've gotten into.
what's your favorite month?
December
