Now, they’re all completely optional, so you can skip a few [or all of them] if you’d rather not answer them or if they’re not applicable to you. Anyway, here’s the question list! I’ll answer them myself once the list goes up.

Hey, thanks for answering the q’s! That’s so cool that you work with clay!
As for the writing trope question, I mean kind of your favorite “cliché” in writing. For instance, on of mine is when a character takes a bad hit in battle and then once the battle’s over and the adrenaline wears off, they collapse. I don’t know, man, i’m strange.
(October 4, 2018 - 11:35 pm)
Oh, in that case my favorite trope is when a gruff, fight-y character gets very attached to a small child and unofficially becomes their protector and/or parent. It's the cutest thing ever.
(October 5, 2018 - 10:03 pm)
Oh my gosh yes!! That trope is so adorable.
(October 5, 2018 - 11:55 pm)
What’s a nickname or pen name you use? That's classified information.

What’s your best subject in school? Maybe math?
What’s your favorite article of clothing? Probably my sleeveless jean jacket with a pin from an art installation at my local Arts Center, a pin from a used bookstore downtown, a pin with Sebastian Stan hugging a wolf pillow, a pin with the Mandalorian symbol from Knights of the Old Republic on it, an Aristocats pin, a pin with the silhouette of the Winter soldier that says "til the end of the line" on it, a pin with the Winter Soldier logo on it, a "Team Bucky" pin, a 4-H pin, and a pin with the Jedi symbol from Star Wars on it.

(October 5, 2018 - 8:51 am)
Aye, fellow homeschooler!
Oooo what anime do you like? I’ve been binging quite a few this past year.
Wow your family’s Wednesday dinner actually sounds really good.
A writing trope is basically a written cliché. for example, one is something happens and one person in the back begrudgingly gives over money to the other person, implying that there was a bet on the thing.
Yeah, I agree with the “small group of friends” thing.
Thanks for answering the “q’s”!
Have a great day/night!
