How about a seasonal quiz?

What kind of spooky creature are you?

My result was: the Moon
stunning. worthy of worship. so far away in the void of space....

I don't have great luck with quizzes [meaning picking interesting ones] but it doesn't stop me from trying. How 'bout this one?

What kind of narrator are you?

My result:

the epistolary narrator

the story is told through your diaries and letters, meaning everything has a deeply emotional and personal bent to it. you're not always the most objective narrator - and why should you be, it's your diary! - but you're usually truthful and always endearing. much of what the reader knows about the others comes from how you write to and about them, lending you a surprising amount of control over the narrative. whether or not you're entirely fair in your depictions depends on your genre... and what mood you're in that day.

I never have any luck finding good quizzes but hope springs eternal. So here is one:

Ladies! Let me tell you what you'd get sent to a 19th century asylum for

I got: rumor of husband murder

let's be real here: you probably killed him. fortunately, you take your cues from amy dunne so nobody can definitively prove anything. if you got this result, your vibes are very sexy and i am terrified of you.

I never have much luck in folks finding these quizzes as interesting or amusing as I do, but hope springs eternal, so here's another one.

put together ur mall outfit and ill assign you a gender

You pick out an outfit from pieces of clothing available at an (presumably American?) shopping mall. Some of them were definitely the lesser of many evils, in my opinion, but I got:

art museum gay
you are going to be the coolest person in this art museum probably through pattern mixing

Just to preview, the possible answers are:

19% mxlf
14% emo
9% tenured professor
8% gamer
8% stephanie lazytown gender
6% pirate
6% subway witch
5% art museum gay
4% bowling alley
4% citrus gender
3% new jersey
3% farmers market wizard
2% flower indulgence
0% tobias funke gender

How about a quiz?

I did one of the quizzes suggested, The Shoe Personality Test. Note: you have to click on the sentence under each heading that suits you. The sentence turns bold when you select it.

Here are my results!

You are clogs.

You are a solid and down to earth person.
You seek – and almost always achieve – a really sound balance in your life.

You are stylish yet comfortable. Mellow but driven. Excited yet calm.
You are the perfect mesh of contradictions.

No matter what happens, you have the ability to stay well grounded in your life.
People know that they can truly depend on you.

You should live: In Europe

You should work: At a company dedicated to helping the world

How about a quiz?

What kind of narrator are you?

My answer: the epistolary narrator

the story is told through your diaries and letters, meaning everything has a deeply emotional and personal bent to it. you're not always the most objective narrator - and why should you be, it's your diary! - but you're usually truthful and always endearing. much of what the reader knows about the others comes from how you write to and about them, lending you a surprising amount of control over the narrative. whether or not you're entirely fair in your depictions depends on your genre... and what mood you're in that day.

Here is an The Old Guard quiz: Which Immortal are You?

Warning: the quiz makes you write something in the blank to the quizmaker before you can finish. Also I didn't know any of the Vines (I don't know Vines) and I didn't know any of the sitcom characters except Chandler from Friends so probably for someone with more awareness of recent pop culture than me.

But, I got Nicky, which is right. I don't care in the least about what I wear, I am recovering from a religion that is kind of shit, and I am sucker for a poet.

Also, four The Old Guard Joe/Nicky recs. [Full info in the cut]

1. This is another one with Joe/Nicky and fruit. This time it's cherries. It's even tagged 'fruit as wingman' which I think is hilarious.

2. I love poetic/romantic!Joe and this one has him waxing poetic about Nicky in a way I find very attractive.

3. There are lots of hurt/comfort fics about Joe & Nicky comforting each other after the mission in the film or an AU or pre-canon mission. But this one is HOT! It's Nile outsider POV but that doesn't diminish anything. I made me think 'I'll have whatever [the ficcer who thought this up] is having because this is the best h/c smut I've read in a while.'

4. Another historical fic where Yusuf and Nicolo decide to stop fighting. The ficcer isn't kidding when they tag it 'thick self-indulgent prose' and it's a single chapter of 11k words which is anathema to me! Ugh. For the love of god, don't give me a single chapter of more than 5k. But I read it anyway, and I like the prose.

It's Friday! Does that mean anything anymore? But have a quiz.

What are you yearning for Cowboy?

[actually what I'm first yearning for is for the maker of this quiz to use a comma in the title, but that's not the point, I know]

My result: Danger

You need a little fear. A little wildness. A little rage. You want to run wild, go feral, tear flesh with your teeth and be free of the laws of mortal men. Seeing as murder is illegal I recommend you beat the ever loving shit out of your bed.

Try this one:

What does your soul smell like?

My result: Coffee

key words: intelligent, old soul, complex. you are an extremely thoughtful individual with a creative mind and loving heart. being around you is like sinking into a warm bath. there's something truly wise about the advice you give others, and being in your presence leaves others feeling warm, reassured, and inspired. compatible with: candle smoke, freshly baked bread.

Try this one: What Flower Are You?

I got Orchid.

You are stubborn and you know it. Self aware and hard to impress, you have a close circle of friends and like it that way. You are beautifully unique, with interests that span far and wide. Likely the dark horse of the family, you've always felt misunderstood. You are a creature of habit and avoid change if possible. You are a selfless and giving lover, seeing your partner as the light of your life. Those who are lucky enough to get to know you, would do anything to keep you within their lives. You are unapologetically yourself and value others who are the same. But sometimes, you miss out on opportunities due to your stubbornness and perhaps feel like life is passing you by. Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone my love, everyone you encounter there will find you just as exquisite as you always hoped to be.

I don't know if this is anyone's jam, but...

What Ancient Epic Poem are You?

My results: Catullus 64

a baby! a very detailed baby. a very detailed baby that is made out of a boat which is made out of textiles which are made out of being metapoetic. vergil wants what you have

I cannot resist the world 'melancholy.'

What kind of literary melancholy are you?

My result: British interwar melancholy

Your melancholy stems from the fact that you are almost certainly an unspeakable of Oscar Wilde sort. You are fond of Forster, Ford, Waugh, Graves, and Huxley, and are caught between the idealism and nostalgia of golden years past and look with dread upon an uncertain future. You are prone to fits of tears and reminisce fondly upon your (imagined) time at Oxbridge. You long for touch and to be touched more than you will care to admit.

Guilty on all counts. Sob! :)

For those of you who like (or used to like) magazine quizzes, by thebes:

Which Iconic Fairytale Lady are You?

Note: You do have to put your name in at the beginning but as far as I can tell, it doesn't have any significance. You don't have to register or give an email or anything.

I got: Bluebeard's Wife. Ha, ha, ha....[keywords: quick thinker, brave, stressed. | don't let fear get the best of you. all monsters fade, all horrors pass, and in the end you will still be standing tall. look out for others, too. remember to be good to yourself. and commend yourself for your intelligence!]
