Under the Bridge

character Q&A answers

This is our reward for reaching our 10K goal!! how about this: if we hit 25K by the end of September I'll do another one. 

I picked 30 questions you guys asked. (And omg, I got so many, it took like four hours to hit 30!! Thank you so much!)

DISCLAIMER I DO NOT HAVE THE SAME POLITICAL AND CULTURAL BELIEFS AS ANY ONE CHARACTER AND THEY HAVE SOME OPINIONS THAT ARE NOT MINE SO DONT HATE ON ME

For Olivia: 

1. x_xdiehardnerdx_x asks: Have you ever had a very public panic attack?

Yeah. Back in middle school I would have them all the time. I wasn't as good at holding them back and finding somewhere safe and quiet. It was part of the reason I was bullied a lot. I don't like to think about it. 

2. _TravellingThoughts_ asks: What triggered your anxiety/depression? And when? 

There was never really a trigger. I was always really shy and anxious as a little kid. I'd say when I started middle school I was an outsider and my shyness keeping me from making friends. It made me an easy target for bullying so from there it just kind of got worse. 

3. dampnoodles asks: How much has your anxiety affected your ability to function in school?

So my grades have always been As. My anxiety makes it harder for me to talk to teachers if I'm struggling, so I focus my energy on studying and working hard. I won't have to talk to teachers then. I've never had that many friends, so socially, school has always been hard because of my anxiety. It was getting better before James came along. 

4. anonymous asks: Do you believe in God?

I believe there's something out there. I used to go to Catholic school and I don't know if I believe the whole "body and blood" thing or whatever but I think I'm semi-religious. 

For Liam: 

1. x_xdiehardnerdx_x asks: Do you think you're slightly overreacting? Will you ever forgive Olivia?

Look, I don't really like thinking about the whole "feelings" thing. I get that I'm being a dick and all that, but I just need time to process everything. I really care about her, it's just really fucking frustrating that she would keep something from me when I've told her everything. 

2. morphogenetic asks: How's you and your current girlfriend?

I don't have a girlfriend. Never have, maybe never will. 

3. jafoodiebootie asks: Do you like cats?

Hell yeah. 

4. dampnoodles asks: How do you feel about Harry Potter?

I've seen like three movies since Lizzie forced me into it. It's good I guess, but I didn't really pay that much attention. 

5. mymightysouls asks: What are your feelings/opinions towards Olivia?

In general, I think Olivia is probably the best friend I've had in my life. Sorry, I sound like a fucking pussy. But she really has done a lot for me, and I care about her a lot. She's a really unique and smart person, but it really fucks with me that she doesn't trust me. Whatever though. Like I said, I'm not a big fan of the whole "feelings" thing.
