Prompt Answer: Red Flag

~ Theodora Vanyar ~ 7 Comments

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?

There are many things that can be boiled down into lack of empathy or compassion. If you don’t care about other people, can’t put yourself in someone’s place when they’re reaching out to you, there is something wrong with your ability to connect with your fellow humans.

Prompt Answer: City of the Future

~ Theodora Vanyar ~ Leave a comment

How would you design the city of the future?

Well, since I spent three years in high school learning architecture and drafting and a decade obsessed with green architecture and tiny/hyper-efficient housing, it would be green. Green, eco-friendly, walkable, and littered with edible fruit trees and community gardens.

Prompt Answer: Motivation

~ Theodora Vanyar ~ 1 Comment

What motivates you?

It greatly depends on what “it” is that requires motivation.

Work? My desire not to be homeless again motivates me to get out of bed for an 8-4:30, Monday thru Friday job. And to have money.

Having to exist in this capital is hellscape is motivation, I guess.

I don’t know if there’s a good answer to this without more parameters.
