I was tagged by @delyth88​ and @lucianalight​ about a week ago. Sorry for the delay…

What name/nickname would you like people to call you here on Tumblr? Phil

Gender: Cis woman, more or less

Height: 5′1″

Are you on the older or younger end of the spectrum on Tumblr? Middle, I think? I’m 30.

Can you think in both metric and imperial? Sort of. I’m an American who’s moved to Canada for a year, so I’m getting better at temperature in Celsius and speed in km/hour, but my brain definitely still functions on the silly Imperial system.

What time is it where you are now? 5:44 PM

Do you use AM/PM or 24 hour clock? AM/PM, but I don’t have much trouble with 24 hour.

Are you usually early or late? Late, to my shame.

Favourite band: I dunno, it varies. I like the Decemberists, Fleet Foxes, Florence + the Machine… fake folk music, I guess.

What is your favourite unusual genre of music to listen to? Movie soundtracks (which I guess is not that unusual, given that both of my taggers also named it) and recordings from choir concerts I’ve sung in (is that a genre? I like it because it doesn’t distract me).

Last movie I saw: On a long flight I watched Pacific Rim and part of Ocean’s 8.

Last TV show I watched: I’ve been rewatching “Angel,” as I’m sure you all know.

Did you last read a book or fan fic? Most recently I was reading fic updates on my phone on the subway, but I’ve also been reading Frankenstein on my Kindle on planes, because I hadn’t read it before and it’s the 200th anniversary.

What sort of fan fic do you like to read? Thorki and some Loki-centric gen. Some angst is good, but I’ve been steering clear of excessive whump recently.

What do I post on this blog? It used to be mostly Thorki, Loki, and MCU stuff, but I’ve been feeling alienated from the MCU and its fandoms (especially the Thorki fandom, for reasons of which all of my followers are aware), so these days it’s mostly shitposts and my liveblogs of rewatching “Buffy” and “Angel.” I also post some political stuff, cute animals, and (mostly humorous) posts about Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, and Star Wars.

If you could live in another country which one would it be? Scotland

Do you consider yourself adventurous? Not really, no. I’m an adventurous eater and drinker, and I consider myself intellectually adventurous, but I don’t like taking risks with my safety or traveling in really unfamiliar places.

What hobby would you get into if time and money weren’t an issue? Playing violin is a good one. Or maybe I’d just get even more into wine and whisky connoisseurship.

What would be your first question after waking up from being cryogenically frozen for 100 years? “What the fuck is going on?”

What superpower would you like to have? I recently read an argument that freezing time would be the best superpower. Time travel is kind of appealing, but also seems to involve a lot of pitfalls.

How many people am I supposed to tag here? Uh… @angryowlet, @imaginetrilobites, @impalaforthree, @incredifishface, @iscariotsss, @queen-of-akorros, @queencfthestarsdrfoster, @seidrade, @whitemage03

I was tagged by @lucianalight. Thanks!

Rules: answer these 30 Qs and then tag 10 blogs you want to get to know

Nicknames: Phil (but only on Tumblr/AO3)

Gender/Pronouns: she/her

Star Sign: Libra

Time: 6:50 PM

Birthday: September 30

Favorite Bands: The Decemberists, Florence + the Machine, Steeleye Span (yeah I listen to my parents’ music)

Favorite Solo Artists: Ben Folds, Regina Spektor, Judy Collins (I’m an old woman at heart don’t judge me)

Song Stuck In Your Head Right Now: Fortunately, nothing. Usually a piece I’ve been singing in choir.

Last Movie You Watched: All That Heaven Allows (1955, dir.: Douglas Sirk), for a film & philosophy conference. It’s a melodrama on the surface with a lot going on underneath.

Last Show: “RuPaul’s Drag Race” – a friend and I are still making our way through All-Stars 3

Why Did You Create Your Blog: I got into the MCU in 2015 and started writing fanfiction again and posting in on AO3 (which I learned about through a Loki fan site), but I was having trouble finding a readership, so a friend who was more up on geek fandom than I was recommended getting a Tumblr blog to promote my fic.

Other Blogs: None

Do You Get Asks: Occasionally

How Did You Get The Idea For Your URL: I wanted an author name and URL that would reflect my identity more broadly than just my interest in Loki and the MCU. I had come up with a Nietzschean interpretation of Loki’s weird speeches about freedom in The Avengers (which I explain in my fic about Loki’s missing year between Thor and The Avengers, The Abyss Gazes Also); I found it interesting that he was attempting to use ideology, not just the threat of force, to conquer, and I thought that was in keeping with the pensive, inward-focused character we saw in Thor. So that’s how I came to the idea in the title and subtitle of my blog: “Loki is the Philosopher-King, if the philosophy were less Plato and more Nietzsche.” I had already posted some stories on AO3 as Philosopher_King; that on its own wasn’t available on Tumblr, so I added “1887″ because it’s the year Nietzsche published what I think are his most important, inventive works: the second edition of The Gay Science, with Book V added, and On the Genealogy of Morality.

I Follow: 324

Followers: 668

Average Hours Of Sleep: Because of incredibly annoying and often distressing very vivid dreams that I’ve been having every night for the past 6 years, I need to get 10 hours of sleep or I don’t feel rested.

Lucky Number: I don’t think I have one

Instruments: I used to play the piano, the flute, and the oboe; now I just sing

What Are You Wearing Right Now: pajama pants and a T-shirt

Dream Trip: Northern Europe: Scotland, Iceland, Denmark, Norway

Significant Other: my cat, Meg

Last Book I Read: I started rereading A Wrinkle in Time because I saw the movie and it was pretty different from what I remembered of the book… but then I got bored

Top 3 Fictional Universes: MCU, I guess, even though I’m seriously pissed at its creators right now; Westeros and Essos (George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire and the Game of Thrones TV show); Arda (the name of Tolkien’s planet, including Middle-earth and Valinor)

Oh man, I just tagged a bunch of people for something else… I hereby tag anyone who sees this and wants to do it.
