Greetings! The name is Time Lizzy, or Time as my friends call me. They/Them pronouns. I love to try new things, draw, sing, dance, garden, and I do some witchcraft in my free time. I'm a Hetalia role playing partner if you guys are interested.
I used to carry candy bars in my backpack because it always worked out for children in stories to befriend strange beings with offers of chocolate. I figured, hey, I might not meet a dragon with a sweet tooth on my way to school, but I might need to symbolically break bread with a stranger, and chocolate seems like a safe bet.
The habit never really left me – I filled my coat pockets with Halloween candy, just in case. While studying abroad in Morocco, I came laden with chewing gum and chocolate pieces. Offering some to strangers in tense or awkward situations warmed them to me instantly. I consider a small store of “decent candy” to be a traveling essential. You never know who might experience a blood sugar crash or a Dementor attack, and chocolate can be a good substitute for charisma when you need a stranger to like you.
I feel like I’ve been warned before, like… A lot, not to take candy from strangers.
Yeah, but nobody warned you not to offer it, did they?
Just once, I want the hero to go “your wife/sister/mother/whatever would not have wanted this!”, and the villain to go, “actually, we talked about this a lot. She was really into vigilante justice and eye for an eye stuff. She always said, if something like this happens, avenge me.”
“Your mother never would have wanted this!”
“Wow you clearly never met my mother.”
“Your wife wouldn’t have wanted this!”
“To be honest, I’m following her list of instructions. Do you think I came up with this plan by myself?”
“I wanted to go to art school, but no! You had to kill my sister and make me enact her 37 step plan on what to do in case she was murdered!”
Why was Shrek’s soundtrack so incredible like who sat down and decided that a movie about an ogre would have a beautiful Rufus Wainwright ballad followed by a Smash Mouth/Eddie Murphy cover of I’m A Believer and how can I thank them
