Ask Luftschloss

Hi! You can ask me questions here, or not. I'll answer basically anything.

Who is that character you have as your profile picture?

That's Leonardo da Vinci- or the Assassin's Creed interpretation of him, at least. 

[ZethaPonderer 2,196]

How are you?

 

Is the Gender Race nonsensical? 

 

Is the cake truly a lie?

[luftschloss 831]

I'm doing really well, thanks- although we'll never really know, given how stubborn humans and humanoids are about expressing their feelings.  

Oh, absolutely; I enjoy it nonetheless. We're totally having our butts whooped. Very sad.

Well, I never did receive the promised cake, so I'll have to say yes.

You are being forced to spend the next year on a deserted island, but you can choose one Crystal Gem to come with you. Who do you pick?

I would pick Garnet, because I could seriously use her calm nature to combat my anxiety. 

Spoiler

Furthermore, she's technically two gems, so she could perhaps be convinced to temporarily unfuse to get twice the work done if we're on a time limit.

I love MLP, obviously, and also really enjoy Steven Universe. In terms of live-action, I liked The Good Place a lot.  

I... can't answer that question. I'm very sorry.  I love HP Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury, but I also like series like Warriors. Lord of the Rings is a longtime favourite.

If you were to describe yourself as a person then how would you do it? Outside? Inside? Both?

Goodness, that's a tough question. I love the fact that you're about 90% of asks I receive.  

On the outside, I'm mostly just an average person. Perhaps a bit quieter than most, but there's nothing particularly unusual about me. I'm usually found reading- it's an escape for me, and means that I don't have to deal with interacting face-to-face with people, which causes me a lot of anxiety. 

On the inside, I'm still pretty average, just because humans are so varied. I'm insecure, and yet do my best to be there for the people around me. I'm not really a good or bad person. I have OCD, which makes me question myself a lot, and makes me feel in general like a really awful person. Because of that, I work extra hard to leave a good mark on the world. I'm a thinker, but also a feeler. If there was one word I could use to describe my personality, I would say "conflicted." I still don't feel like I deserve my successes. I have a tendency to isolate myself, but when I really connect to a person, I'm fiercely loyal, mostly because it's rare for me to come across someone like that. 

I'm sorry. This turned out to sound kind of pathetic. I hope I answered your question well enough.

All your ask now are belong to me.

 

To what extent are paperclips essential to your day-to-day life?

What do you normally keep in your pockets?

If you were building a house for you to live in 20 years in the future, what shape would you make the roof, and why?

What is the culture you would most like to live in, from any country in the world?

Paperclips are only useful to the extent that they perceive themselves to be, much like yourself.

I normally don't have pockets because patriarchy. Actually, this is a lie, as I've infiltrated the mens' clothing section. My pockets are usually apparently empty- this is, in fact, another lie; my pockets contain a miniscule pocket dimension which also holds nothing.

I wouldn't have a roof. Betcha didn't see that coming. I choose to be soaked during rainstorms out of pure spite for you and your questions.

I would most like to live in the middle of the ocean because weird fish. Haw. All jokes aside, though (ew who am I kidding here), I would like to live in Germany so I could actually talk with a real German person. Unfortunately, the language is rather useless here in America, as there are few immigrants relative to other cultures.

Incorrect.

Paperclips may also be useful to the extent that others perceive them to be, much like yourself - except there are people who actually perceive paperclips to be useful.

What is your favourite colour of rock?

What is your favourite musical instrument?

Plasma guns or rocket-propelled-grenade launchers?

What's your favourite animal?

First of all, shame on you for bringing set theory into this. <:)

Ew. Is this rock-ism I smell (or perceive with any of my other senses, including the sense of you being a swine- which is definitely a legitimate and officially recognised sense; I had a nice chat with the National Federation of Psychologists. I lied again... but honestly the least believable part of this is the idea that I had a chat)? Shame on you. I thought we were moving past this.

My favourite musical instrument is not an instrument in the traditional sense- or maybe it's the most traditional. It originated when we were but mere apes (not to say that you're not)- the screams of people in their death throes. It's truly moving. In fact, I think we should bring back the whole gladiator fight tradition to replace concerts.

Whatever is capable of killing you faster.

My favourite animal? I would say you, but you're not my favourite. So... probably civets. I've heard their anal glands are something to be reckoned with; good secretions for bottling.

What is your least favourite animal?

How much power (measured in "Yoda-Force-output-per-second"s) do you estimate that your electrical devices collectively consume on average?

What is your favourite plant, and why?

Do you still live with your parents?

My least favourite animal is that animal who insists on such classifications.

I would estimate that my computer not playing Star Wars (ever) consumes a decent amount of not-Yoda-Force-output-per-second. There's also, of course, the device we don't talk about... needless to say, Jonathan will be alive for a while yet, but in what condition I cannot say. That's most of the electric bill.

My favourite plant is the seed of socialism I'm in the process of planting. <:) Jokes aside, though, I adore mint. I can't keep mint plants alive long, though, because I have an unfortunate tendency to consume its method of producing energy. Now that I think about it, all of my mint plants have died pretty gruesome deaths. no ragrats (seriously they're gnawing at my pyjama pants)

haw it depends on how you define "live"

Really, though, I do still live with them, as I'm not keen on getting in trouble with the law, and I don't want to have to deal with the whole court system in order to get permission.

Whereas I don't like mint much at all and have a lemongrass mint bush going triffid in the front garden.

There's clearly some sort of conspiracy involved.

If you had one object, what would you choose?

I have only one middle name that is both awesome and a huge embarrassment because it's Essence of Suburban Mother. I'm also not telling you what it is, because you will laugh, and I will reluctantly tolerate it.

The one... I have in my backyard. We don't talk about that one. It haunts me. Also, one of my neighbours seems to have mysteriously disappeared.

I have eight whole cousins, as opposed to eight half-cousins. I'm also the one with the most cousins out of all of my cousins, as all the other ones have siblings, which is pretty cool (agh split descriptors).

I would take a cube with surprise objects inside of it (plot twist, each object has an exactly 80% chance of being useful in some abstract way). If I was stuck somewhere, it would be like a productive early Christmas. Then I'd probably get eaten by some rabid donkey that suddenly developed a taste for meat.

My humour is far too refined for such vulgarity.

Tell me at once.

Frequent occurrence among Wonderland dwellers, that.

 

 

 

Would you like different and/or additional middle names to the sad and spazzy one you have?

What's your favourite bird?

How many middle names can you think of, off the top of your head, that belong to family members of yours?
