You may now ask me anything. 
Ask away!

Why do you call yourself Ancient Elantrian?

Do you play an instrument?

What’s your favorite novel?

And most importantly…

What is life without laughter?

[Through the Living Elan He/Him]

1. Because of the OG constructors of the city Elantris. We know nothing about them really, it’s super interesting!

2. Piano really well, Guitar mediocrely, I took violin for 6 months and then quit.

3. Favorite novel is Mysterious Benedict Society. Then Elantris. Then A Series of Unfortunate Events.

4. Life without laughter is just depressing, the reason for life is to be happy. That’s my opinion. Everyone has their own, though.

That made me laugh way more than was reasonable. Well played.

Edit : Just noticed all the quotes in your signature and I love them.

I love them too. There are too many to choose from, so I just made up my own

Mysterious Benedict Society

ANOTHER PERSON HAS HEARD OF THAT? That's a fun book, though I'm corrupted since I watched the show first and prefer the show over the book tbh. One of the few times I consider the adaptation to be better than the source material.

Dude same. I watched the tv series with my family. Really good, would recommend. 

On a scale of 1-10 how edible does this potato look?

HOW DARE YOU THAIDAKAR!!! My family has had copies of the original editions, since when I was born.  I read them YEARS before the show came out, even before Disney+.

I really liked Season 1. Season 2 I started but never finished because I just forgot. It seems good, but nothing is as good as the books. If you ignore the plot of the books season 2 is acceptable.

Oh, I meant season one. Season one improved on the source material, season two ruined the source material and just ignored it out right, growing worse with each episode. 

Uuuuuugh, I have so many problems with season two. Constance was the only redeeming aspect of that season.

The books are good though, really good. the characters in the show just clicked for me way better than in the books.

True dat.

Constance is SO much better in the show.

I actually didn’t like Reynie as much in the show though.

Me neither for a bit. There were times I liked him better and times I didn't like him as much as in the books. 

I think Sticky was better in the show too. (I hope I remembered the name right-)

Why do you like the hunger games?

Why do you like Brandon Sanderson?

[Through the Living Elan He/Him]

1. It’s an interesting idea. Not my favorite book, but it’s still pretty good. And the romance…

2. BECAUSE HE’S AWESOME! And the books are super good. He’s good at world building and magic, I like how interconnected they are. And even non-cosmere books are super cool and interesting.

1. John Williams

2. No idea, don’t listen to rap.

3. I don’t have a favorite song, but Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is great (First song I found on my playlist )

4. Different song, the song Carry On by Fun. It says “If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin' like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
Carry on” (It’s on a gigantic fight song playlist for when I feel sad).

5. Flibbertigibbet or Absquatulate.
