Danny Does Crayola Crayon Colour Asks

Crayola Crayon Color Asks

It's been a lot of baking, gloom & doom and sexuality on the blog for the past month and I decided to post something a little more upbeat that you can do for your own blogs, vlogs or whatever it is you do. I found this on Tumblr, I think I was tagged in it. I did a few of these last year and people seemed to enjoy them. I'm thinking in the next year I'll come up with my own asks post. Don't put me on the record for that. I get distracted and forget. Some of the fuckin names on these things makes your head spin. What in the Christ even happened to 'brown' or 'green' or 'red'? I think these posh names are nothing more than a way for them to charge more for them than crayons named 'yellow' or ' light orange'. Clever marketing scams.  

Macaroni and Cheese: What makes you think of your childhood?
Loud, yelling voices, the warming of summer grass, the waves crashing into the ocean, The Chronicles of Narnia, grilled cheese sandwiches, Harry Potter, 'retro' video games & hot cocoa with vanilla. 

Spring Green: How do you relax when you’re stressed?
I watch one of my favourite shows like the Sopranos, the Blacklist or Mind Hunter. Maybe some true crime. Or I read one of my favourite childhood books. Sometimes I drink tea. Sometimes I have a massive flip out and that almost never ends well.

Asparagus: What’s an unpopular opinion you have?

Oh, you really don't want me to answer this. Pretty much all my opinions are that of unpopular opinion. Well, here's one nibblet for you all. I believe that they should cut off the hands of men and woman who sexually abuse children or just abuse children in general. It's not just enough to chemically castrate these people. Or if they're a serial child rapist or abuser, you lock them in a room with wolves high on crystal meth and let them go to town.

Bittersweet: Has someone you loved ever hurt you?

Bittersweet isn't a fucking colour. Since the day I started breathing. We've already discussed Paula & Anja and tapped on Bill & el Phillo this year. And then there were the friends. J-Bot and Abner. The list goes on. **Screams into the void**

Eggplant: Explain your url and avatar.
Um, it's my email address and a photo of me.
However, on my Tumblr, it's still a photo of me and an expression of myself. Darkly Dreaming Daniel. Fits me to a T I think. 

Outer Space: Do you ever feel like you’re an outcast from others?

Yes. Sometimes I give less than a shit and other times it causes me great distress. 

Cotton Candy: What is your favourite dessert?

Not really one for dessert, but if I had to pick one it would be a strawberry cream sponge cake. 

Freckle: Do you have any marks on your skin? How do you feel about them?
Woah, Woah, Woah. Freckle is now a colour now? What the fuck is this? There are several different colours of freckles0 what colour? Deep brown? Orangey? Orange-brown? Christ on a bicycle.
Yes, I have several freckles, quite a few. Those I don't mind. I'm covered with scars, some of them I don't mind, some of the other ones are painful memories that will never heal. It's a constant reminder of my failures, short-comings, rejections and also my times of strength and courage.
Tattoos I don't think of marks, but I've got a tonne of them, half a body suit or so. 

Shocking Pink: Is there a trait that you have that others don’t expect from you?

Um, I'm really not sure. A lot of people tell me that they've never met anyone like me before, that I'm unusual, unique  I guess it's that I've got really good hearing, pitch-perfect hearing in fact.

Robin’s Egg Blue: If you were an animal, which one do you think would you be?
I'd be a dog without question. Maybe a Shibe or Corgi or an English Bulldog 

Granny Smith Apple: What’s something everyone else likes that you don’t?
Probably that ranch dressing shit. 

Dandelion: What’s a pet peeve of yours?

Political correctness gone overboard, people who don't flush the toilet or put away their shit when they're in my house.

Atomic Tangerine: What gets you motivated to do a difficult task?
Chubbs. Thinking of him is a great help, although sometimes it's a great hindrance.
That and not wanting to be annoyed by nit-wits. 

Wisteria: What’s your favourite thing about yourself?
Wisteria is a goddamn place, not a colour. My wit and intellectual abilities.
I'm aware I come off goofy and aloof, but it's what I prefer sometimes.

Candy Apple: How do you think others view you?

Abnormal, mysterious, an asshole.

Plum: Are you insecure about anything?

So many things.

Sky Blue: Where do you feel the most at home?
Chubb's arms or buried up in my bed. 

Tickle Me Pink: How do you try to cheer others up when they’re sad?
Well, it depends on the person. It's different for every friend. Films together with some, jokes with others, tea with one. Tailor your approach. 

Wild Strawberry: Do you care what others think about you?
Again, wild strawberries are a variation of colours. Which one are we talking about?
Not really. Certain people yes, the majority not really. Sometimes it really matters, other times I'm two sheets to the wind. Ironic, isn't it? 

Glossy Grape: Recommend something to your followers.
I recommend trying a spinach, raspberry and tangerine salad or if you prefer, a double bacon cheeseburger with pickles, ketchup & a pinch of garlic powder. 

World Wide Web Yellow: What was the last thing you looked up?
World Wide Web? What the hell is this 1998? Jesus, that brings me back.
I think the last thing that I looked up was...oh well, jeez, that's embarrassing. A reference photo for a tattoo I'm designing. A roll of 100 dollar bills. haha. That and the weather in Bolton where I went yesterday. 

Shadow Blue: Do you have a darker side to you that most people are unaware of?

Yes. ^ ^

Electric Lime: What genre of music do you listen to?
I'm a rock, metal kind of guy, but I am a stickler for classical. I do listen to some pop and rap. I'm a man of many tastes. 

Night Owl: Describe a very interesting dream that you had.
I don't really remember my dreams. 

I know I had one last week about the Hey Arnold Christmas Special. All I remember is flashes of the episode and waking up screaming. 

Cornflower: What do you think about the most?

I think a lot about Chubbs, a little house by the sea, baking, medical charts, life.

Grasshopper Green: Describe the area where you live.
Eh. It's not much but it's where I hang my hat.
But the other areas of the city are magical, illuminating, beautiful. Others are dirty, disgusting and decaying. Perfection.

Misty Moss: Is there anything you regret?

Before I answer this question, I have one of my own. What in the name of the Queen's bloomers is misty moss? I've seen a lot of moss in my life and none of it's been misty. It's gotta be some kind of eye disease this person has or a problem with their glasses. Misty moss my ass.
Yes, there are few things I regret. Small things. Mistakes I made that hurt myself in the worst ways because I was sick, impatient and childish.

Tiny Toad Brown: Do you find beauty in something that people consider to be ugly or undesirable?
Yes. I won't say which, but I have a pretty interesting way of seeing things. 

Sunny Side Up: Do you like waking up in the mornings, or would you rather sleep in?
Sleep in, mate. Unless I've got something to really get up for. 

Kitten Gray: Do you have any pets? If so, describe them.
Yes. A little chubby black lab. He's funny, got quite a personality and never fails to annoy me when I'm busy. 

Rose Dust: Describe your aesthetic in five words or less.
Rose dust? Rose dust? I can't even with this one. More stupid pretentious bullshit.
Dark, bloody, beautiful, broken & mystical 

Timberwolf: Do you give second chances when somebody has wronged you?
I have. Now I'm not so forgiving. I'm re-thinking a second chance I extended lately. 

Freshly Squeezed: What excites you?

Speed, weapons, video games, chubby hips & thighs.

I don't know what freshly squeezed means, but for this one, I'm going to go with cum. Or milking someone. Yep, that's it. 

Firefly Red: What gives you purpose?

I thought fireflies were green or glowed white/yellow. I think they're just making up shit now; not that they weren't before. Actually, questions do. Me wanting to find meaning or answers to said questions do. And of course my beloved Pudgely. And I guess my baking. 

Tiny Teapot Tan: Do you consider yourself to be attractive/cute?
...Tiny teapot tan. Really? I've never even seen a tan teapot, let alone a tiny one. For the love of the Queen's corgis!  Honestly! Cutesy arsed little names, as annoying as they are I get, but tan? There's nothing cute about tan or khaki colours. I'm sorry if that's your thing and all, but it's hideous.
No, I don't really. Sometimes I think I'm the greatest thing on two legs, but for the most part, I'm average at best. I've got low self-esteem and don't believe in my looks really. I'm always shocked when people tell me that I'm good looking or hot or whatever. 

Rain Drop Blue: Describe the weather outside.

RAINDROPS ARE NOT FUCKING BLUE. OH MY GOD. I need to go lay down, I just can't take this anymore. It took me almost an hour to recover from this shit. Thankfully, I'm almost finished with it now. So, the weather is coldish, cloudy and I think it's gonna rain. I hope it rains, I love it when it rains. Just wanna tuck under the duvet, snuggle in,  fall asleep to the raindrops rhymic dance and Ms Potter. Goddamn, I love that film.

Sweet Pea Green: Do you have/want children?
I don't have any children, but eventually. yeah. I think 3 kids would be nice. Maybe 2. More more than 3 though, Jesus. 

Pussywillow: Do you like being around others, or do you like being alone?

Alright, this isn't a real thing! Pussywillow? I think these colours were given to me just to fuck with me. Pussywillow. What kind of shit is this? Pussies are various colours too. I know, I've seen quite a few in my time. An array of pink, tans and browns. Interesting the colour scheme down there. Oh, well apparently it's a plant too, a white plant...just say white. Lot of perverts running this crayon company, I tell ya.
Well, sometimes being alone is just what I want. I've spent a lot of my life alone, but sometimes I just want to relax with a few good mates. Or when I'm really upset, these days I find myself craving Chubbs. Human connection. Maybe it's a change for the better. Only time will tell. 

Jack ‘O’ Lantern Orange: What’s your biggest fear and why?
Oh, no, that's not going on the internet for the world to see. Nope, just nope. Sorry, ask me something else.

Baby Bunny Pink: Do you look young for your age, or do you look older than you are?

This colour is just gross. Whoever thought up this colour name needs to talk to a therapist and fast.
I think I look about my age, maybe a bit younger sometimes. A mate of mine told me the other day I looked about 16 and I was like, "What the f are you on about?" 

Mystic Maroon: What confuses you, and why?

Well. to be honest, my grandfather's still wanting a relationship with a man who threatened to kill me, protected my molester and attempted rapist and still looks on me like I'm a piece of shit unless he needs a fuckin' favour. Why he still thinks that worthless fuck is the bee's knees will forever mystify me, not to mention piss me off.

Cosmic Cobalt: What’s your zodiac sign, and do you think it’s accurate?
I thought cobalt was a fucking element, but here we are. If I remember correctly, it's a blueish-silver colour. Why the hell it would be cosmic, I have no idea. What does this even mean anyway? Um, I'm a Libra and I think that astology is bullocks. 

Petal Pink: Describe your fashion sense as well as what you’re wearing right now.

Well, currently I am wearing ripped black skinny jeans, a Kat Von D High Voltage Tattoo T-shirt, llama socks and LED light up black trainers. The highest of fashion. 

Mountain Meadow: Do you like taking care of others, or do you prefer being care of?
I want people to leave me the hell alone, especially when I'm sick. Most of them know less than a hill of beans and they annoy the back teeth out of me. Taking care of people is what I always end up doing, so we'll go with that. Honestly, if I had more of a choice in the matter, I'd take care of me, Chubbo and maybe 3 other people tops. 

Fuzzy Duckling Yellow: Is there something from childhood that you haven’t outgrown?

Yes. Pokemon, Narnia, love of afternoon naps, dinosaurs, love of museums.

Brussel Sproutlet: Do you have any unhealthy habits?

What in the name of Prince Charle's bunyons is a Brussel sproutlet? Is that a brussel sprout that's not gone through puberty yet? Yes, I have unhealthy habits. I've been known to partake in creative chemical cocktails, drink alcohol in excess, not have the healthiest of diets/eating habits. At least I don't smoke cigarettes anymore! I don't maintain good relationships, I have a habit of associating with scumbags. I collect blood samples...the list is longer than my leg and it's pretty long. (Not that I only have one leg.)

Razzle Dazzle Rose: Describe an ideal date.

A coffee and then go to a museum. Or maybe the cinema. Go to a bookshop or a picnic. I really don't mind as long as it's not stiff and formal. I want to have a good time with someone, be able to share likes and interests with them, you know get to know them. Not pretend over some over-priced meal and overrated wine. It could even be at their house watching a film on the sofa and sharinghomemadee popcorn balls! 

Periwinkle: What’s something ordinary that has personal meaning to you?

I think my beanie hat. It's been with me all over the world, on all of my trips for the past 10 years. I wear it all the time, in and out. It's comforting, it's more than just a hat. And I'd have to say my little Pork Chop plush. He adventures with me, is a great support system in regards to my anxiety and is just cute. So Pork Chop & Beanie. Not a bad combo. 

Mauvelous: Do you think you deserve a better life than you have now?

I really have no idea what this colour is, but I imagine its a maroon of sorts? Maybe a brownish purple-red? I'm supposed to be an artist and this is just mystifying me.  Yes, I do think that I deserve a better life than the horror show that I'm trapped in. Will I ever get a better life? Probably not, even with hard-work and determination. I'd like to be optimistic, but I've gotten my hopes up far too many times. It's better to be pessimistic in regards to life and the future, that way if something even slightly good happens, you can at least say, "Well, the majority of it sucked, but a few good things happened." 

Blueberry Blue: Do you get sad easily?
Blueberry blue...haha I see what they did there! Well played.

I can't answer that seeing as I'm more or less alwaysa some varying degree of 'sad'. 

Purple Mountains Majesty: How does someone earn your respect?

Never seen a purple mountain ever. No, I saw one in Pokemon and I think one other time in a child's painting. Purple mountin my ass crack. How does someone earn my respect? They don't take shit, they're smart, they respect me and don't look down on me. You have to give respect to get respect. So few people these days are worthy of respect.
