#tag game thursday
Thank you so much for the tags, @onthepageoftears and@wordspin-shares!

My writing folders are actually organized on a probably-ridiculous level, so I feel like these names speak for themselves in some ways, but still feel free to send me some asks! A lot of these are things I’ve never posted about, so I would certainly have plenty to talk about! :D

I was tagged by the always wonderful @wordspin-shares! Thank you for the tag, Effie!
I’m getting into the spooky/holiday season mood, so my boring fact is that I played the part of a lightbulb in my Kindergarten Christmas play.
Shockingly, I have not broken into the Hollywood spotlight for my acting skills! :P
Tagging:@darknightfrombeyond,@howdy-writes,@bad-carrot,@lnevada,@viragosouls, & anyone else who feels like playing! :)
I was tagged by @wordspin-shares. Always wonderful to play these games with you, friend! :D
Challenge: Post a fun section from a WIP you are writing.
From the second chapter of my SPN WIP Legacy:
“Good morning to you, too, Dean,” Sam greeted warmly. He then cocked his head to the side, confusion furrowing his brows. “Are you…eating gumbo for breakfast?”
“Yeah, so? Got a problem with it?”
“Nope.” Sam lifted his hands in surrender as he recognized his brother’s morning grouchiness. He glanced at the room’s third party as if hoping for help. “I’m sure Erica is happy you liked it so much. Maybe she’d even give you the recipe?”
“I would, if not for the fact that it came from a lady who considered herself bona fide Louisiana Cajun,” Erica pointed out, her expression thoughtful. “She told me it was a secret family recipe and she’d hex me if I shared it with anyone. At the time, I thought she was kidding. After finding this place? I’m not so sure.”
Sam crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back against the kitchen island, curiosity softening his features. “If it’s supposed to be secret, how did you convince her to give you the recipe in the first place?”
Erica shrugged. “I was dating her daughter at the time.”
Wracking coughs echoed through the kitchen as Dean choked on his gumbo. Several seconds of undignified hacking, thumping on his chest with his fist, and gulps of hot coffee later, the hunter found the ex-soldier watching him, a single, finely shaped brow arched high and lips pressed in a thin line.
“Is there a problem?”
“Nope, no problem,” Dean averted his eyes to his food. “The gumbo is a little spicy, is all.”

I’ll be doing this for my two main OCs, as well as two others I have on the back burner that have been poking around and begging for attention lately.
Rimiriel Denethoriel|The Lord of the Rings|Rose of Gondor
Carefully, like a gentle rain on dry Earth - You’ve been left beaten down and by someone you really trusted and loved, so now love doesn’t come easy for you. You want it to. You want to love and be loved, but you’re not sure you remember how. So you need someone else to take the lead. They have to be gentle and sweet and patient. They have to watch out for you, and make sure you’re doing okay, because most days you feel a little fragile, if not totally shattered. But someone will come along who will put those pieces back together again.
Erica Winchester|Supernatural|Legacy
Carefully, like a gentle rain on dry Earth - You’ve been left beaten down and by someone you really trusted and loved, so now love doesn’t come easy for you. You want it to. You want to love and be loved, but you’re not sure you remember how. So you need someone else to take the lead. They have to be gentle and sweet and patient. They have to watch out for you, and make sure you’re doing okay, because most days you feel a little fragile, if not totally shattered. But someone will come along who will put those pieces back together again.
Catherine Samuels|The Walking Dead|Crosshairs
Casually, the same way you love to breathe - You want someone who will see your favorite flower and will give it to you, without even thinking about it. You want someone who will remember all the little details about you, the things so seemingly unimportant but that matter more than you thought they did. You want someone who will still be there, thirty years down the line, holding your hand while the two of you do two separate things. You want the intimacy of being known by someone who makes you feel safe. You don’t want expensive dinners or grand proposals. You want someone who will love you consistently.
Lana Orayos|Star Wars|To Foster the Light
Deeply, like the vastness of the sea - You are a very passionate person. You feel everything so intensely, and that definitely includes love. You need someone who will match that passion, that intensity. You need someone who will care about you as much as you care about them, but you have a hard time finding that. You’re usually the one who loves more, and it’s sad sometimes, but it’s okay. But you will find someone who loves you just as much as you love them.
This was an interesting quiz! I definitely didn’t expect Rimiriel and Erica to get the same result, but it kinda fits with some reflection–though in different ways for each of them. Definitely intriguing!

Post ten GIFs of movies you loved as a child, then tag ten people. Optional: Tell us why you love(d) the films you picked.
1. The Aristocats
This is probably the first film I ever loved! My mother says she watched like a hawk for the day it came out on VHS so that she could get it for me. My dad used to sing “Everybody Wants to be a Cat” with me…luckily for both of us, this was before social media. XD I could still quote this movie by heart!
“You’re not a lady…you’re nothin’ but a sister!”
2. Land Before Time
These movies were a cornerstone of my childhood! We watched every. single. one. of these when they came out. The original is still my favorite, though!
3. The Fox and the Hound
Does anyone have to explain why they love Fox & the Hound? It’s an absolutely beautiful story of both friendship and found family. I still cry every time Todd gets left in the woods! :’(
4. Jurassic Park
Ah, the days when my brother and I both swore we wanted to be paleontologists! We read very dinosaur book our library had to offer after this movie came out! We watched it so many times the tape busted…then we taped it back together and watched it some more! XD
5. Star Wars
My father grew up with these movies and was so excited to share them with his children! I watched the first one when I was 4 and fell in love. When The Force Awakens hit theaters, I cried from the nostalgia of the opening scrawl…when I first saw that yellow text scrolling up the screen, my dad had to read it to me because I couldn’t read yet! These movies still hold a place near and dear to my heart.
6. Harry Potter & the Sorcerer’s Stone
I was THAT kid in school. The Harry Potter fanatic that was the first to read all of the books as soon as they came out. The first movie is still my favorite and is such a faithful adaptation of the book. This series marked my first major foray into fandom and fanfiction, and so will always hold a special place in my heart…even if JK Rowling is a bitch.
7. Mulan
I still watch this movie when I’m having a bad day. Beautiful animation, catchy songs, and a lovely story of doing what is right and struggling to find your true self. Disney at its best!
8. Beauty and the Beast
Another nostalgic childhood fave. I saw so much of myself in Belle as the bookworm and town oddity who wanted more than the simple life society had allotted for her. The animation and music are also stunning!
9. Pocahontas
90s Disney was the best Disney. Hands down. Even though this story couldn’t be much further from the truth of history, I still love it for having a strong, courageous heroine…as well as one who chooses her people over her fella at the end!
10. Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
I LOVED horses as a kid and this is definitely one of the best horse movies! I didn’t even notice as a kid how little dialogue it has for the most part. The animation is beautiful and Bryan Adams crafted a killer soundtrack! My dad didn’t even mind me watching this one on repeat!
