If you need a starting point for the last question, my favorite things about you are as follows: 1) your hair. It is so pettable and it haunts me that I have not yet ruffled it the way that it needs to be. 2) you have one of the cutest selfie smiles in the universe. 3) you have a way with words. It is known. 4) your eyes are insANE, beautiful boy! 5) you have one of the most cuddly souls I’ve ever seen. I wanna wrap you in blankets and watch Disney movies with you. 6) you’re just amazing. <3

daaaaAAAAHH *squishes you so hard*

What song most reminds you of Simon and Baz?

I was trying to find one and just happened to be listening to “When You’re Around” by Lizzie Radio, which works for them very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_VlCf9FkRI

“I Don’t Want Love” by the Antlers is a good one for them at the beginning of the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk2plAsaznI

And “The Consequences of Not Sleeping” is great for them at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKU69ZL8PrU

Who are your favorite fictional superheroes? Any real life ones?

Ms. Marvel!!! And Cap. And Peter Parker, because he’s me as a superhero. 

Real life ones… anyone who gets shit done, really stands for something and helps people and gets shit done. That is a superhero in my mind. I consider a lot of activists to be superheroes, I really admire how they can dedicate so much of their emotional energy to changing our world for the better. 

What is your favorite memory featuring bread?

Are you kidding, I have so many. Family friend Stephanie makes amazing British slightly-cheesy rolls for Thanksgiving and they’re lovely. A few months ago Baff made me really good biscuits and gravy for breakfast. Any time that I’ve sat down at a restaurant extremely hungry, and they bring a basket of warm bread and butter, that is a precious memory to me. 

This one probably is the best story though: Recently I was at Safeway choosing a loaf of their French bread, and some random guy ran up urgently, looked over his shoulder like he was being followed, snatched up a loaf of bread as if he was a spy and that bread was part of a secret mission, and then ran away like a ninja before anyone else could see him. I related to that guy on a deep level. I love Safeway bread so goddamn much. 

So you are Bilbo and he is you… Do you see any other Tolkien characters amongst your friends and family?

I think David could cosplay a great Thorin Oakenshield. Then we could cosplay Bagginshield together! *claps* 

I really want you and Baff to be Legolas and Gimli. I’m not sure which of you is which… You kind of trade off. Lexie is Pippin. Amy is Saruman. 

Heather is Galadriel because she is a queen. Alix is Éowyn. 

Lauren is a Nazgul
