last movie: Revenge of the Sith - Christmas is Star Wars time

last show: The Haunting of Hill House.  I just watched it twice in a row bc i’m obsessed and also scared

when did i create this blog: 2019?  I think

what do i post: writing stuffs, cool art other super talented ppl have made, gifs of my current fixations usually

last thing googled: what the name of the hello my baby hello my honey frog was - he doesn’t have a name, i guess :(

other blogs: i don’t have any others!  well, I think I made one years ago but i don’t even remember the name of it

do i get asks: very occasionally but i love it when i do!  they’re fun!

why i chose my url: um well tiesthatbind is my ao3 name.  i wish i didn’t have to add the 1899 on the end, but tiesthatbind was taken.  so 1899 is from red dead.  idk where tiesthatbind came from.  i just like that phrase.

following: i have no clue :/  i don’t look - but a lot probably

followers: again - i don’t know - but a few probably haha

average hours of sleep: 6 on weekdays and like 11 on weekends lmao

lucky number: as long as it’s an even number, it’s lucky for me.  i hate odd numbers!!!!!

instruments: uhh dabbled in violin, flute, and piano.  but can’t play anything well.  i can play amazing grace on the piano and that’s about it.

what am i wearing: flannel pj bottoms and a tank top.  gotta keep my body temp regulated.  like my arms to be chilled and my legs to be warm - balanced, as all things should be

dream job: video game story writer?? is that a job title specifically? just a  writer???  librarian?? it’s all over the place.  i want a job i’m happy with and have free time with.

dream trip: out west in America.  And Argentina.  Anywhere in Europe, too.  Anywhere, actually.  My answer is anywhere.  The bar is low.

favorite food: bar is low once again - anything.  my favorite thing ever though is probably steak.

nationality: American

favorite song: i’m really loving “Daydream” by Wallace Collection which is like a super 60′s song that reminds me of creepy cults

last book read: last book read and finished? The Shining by Stephen King.  last book that I just picked up and read a few pages? The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson - I’m in a spooky mood.

top three fictional universes i’d like to live in: Jeez man all the fictional universes i love, i would definitely get killed in - like RDR2′s universe?  I would die instantly.  I guess... if we’re talking universes I could survive in that would be Animal Crossing bc you can’t die.  Maybe Star Wars, but like a peaceful planet... or like Coruscant bc even though I probably couldn’t survive, it’s a cool planet.  I like the noir aspects of the lower levels.  And i’d like to live in Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines universe for like a few nights and then i’d be out there too.
