I actually completed this one back in 2020, which surprised the hell out of me. I will be linking back to my 2020 answers, but I will also put in updated answers as well.
1. What's a new fandom that you've fallen into since the last June Something/in the last year?
In the last year, I have mostly be revisiting old fandoms, but I also got very into Our Flag Means Death.

2. You're stuck in quarantine with two people from different fandoms. Who are they, and who "breaks" first?
In 2020, I picked characters via dice roll. This time around, I had Vexed pick for me. Elliot Spencer (Leverage) & Dean Winchester (Supernatural). I am breaking first because those two will start bickering and it is going to drive me over the edge. We should eat fairly well though and probably be able to find things to watch we can all agree on. We also all keep weird hours, so that should work out. They should also keep each other entertained, which sounds like it would work in my favor, but I keep seeing loud bickering matches my ear plugs will do nothing for, holes in the walls, and pranks gone wrong.

3. Who is the first character that you fell in love with?
I was going to give this a lot of reflection and give what I assumed was going to be a more meaningful, heartfelt answer, but looking at my 2020 answer, I'm keeping it. It's honest.

4. If you were introducing your favorite fandom to someone new, what one episode would you make them sit down and watch?
I whole heartedly stick by my 2020 answer.

5. You get to fuck/marry/kill in one fandom. What's the fandom, and who in the fandom fits each item?
Because I am so multi fandom, I had Vexed pick my top 5 fandoms to do and because I am curious how it compares, I am doing this before I read my 2020 answer.
Batman
Fuck: Okay, this is hard. Everyone I come up with then has the immediate thought of "and then I will die." Selina Kyle/Catwoman
Marry: Alfred, I am not explaining
Kill: Riddler from the Tom King Batman comics run, you know what you did.
Stargate (She just said Stargate, so I'm guessing the whole franchise is open)
Fuck: Okay, this is harder than Batman was for different reasons. Vala Mal Doran
Marry: Jack O'Neill
Kill: Elizabeth Weir
Merlin
Fuck: Gwaine
Marry: Morgana
Kill: Uther
Supernatural
Fuck: Rowena
Marry: Bobby
Kill: Chuck
"Any anime you can age up" Um, I'm going to pretend she just said any anime.
Fuck: Jin (Samurai Champloo)
Marry: Tatsu (The Way of the Househusband)
Kill: Kagome (InuYasha)

6. What is something that has surprised you about a fandom? Like, you expected the main fandom pairing to be X/Y, but the main pairing in fandom is actually X/Z. Or a pairing you expected to be slashed together isn't very popular?
If I had more braincells currently, I'm sure I could come up with a more updated answer, but I also very much stick by my 2020 answer.

7. What is your favorite celebrity interaction from any fandom you've had?
I have still not had a celebrity interaction and my answer from 2020 still stands.

8. What is a kink that fandom introduced you to, and you said, "Yes, Please!"
My answer hasn't really changed.

9. Is there any fandom that you regret getting into?
I can't say there is a particular fandom I regret getting into. Fav characters, sometimes. Pairing, yes. Some fandom spaces, yes. A few former fandom friends, most definitely. On some days, fandom as a whole, despite how it sustains me. There are fandoms I probably couldn't of/wouldn't have gotten into today, if I were started over fresh, but I don't regret them.

10. Besides deathfic, rape/non-con, what is something that, no matter the pairing, you nope out of when it comes to reading?
My original list of Underage, eyeball licking, and scat still stands, but I have gotten a bit pickier in the last few years in that it depends on who wrote it far more than the pairing or what it is. There are things a couple years ago, I would have read anytime anywhere that now, I am like, "no, I only trust these 4 writers to write that."

11. How open are you about being in fandom to your non-fandom friends/family?
If anything, I am less open than I used to be. It does not come up. There are people who think I have no interests or hobbies outside of knitting and my book clubs. If they already know, they already know, but they are not getting anything out of me. I have enough on my plate without the added judgement and ire. Though, one of my book clubs is very into my weird font of knowledge I can pull from. It's the graphic novel book club.

12. What is something you consider headcanon that was never truly resolved in canon?
I stand by my Kouga related natterings from 2020.
2020 answer
13. What is something you think fandom, as a whole, needs? Either literally, like a service, or figuratively, like a 'head slap'?
I am surprised that my 2020 answer is nearly verbatim what I was going to type now. The one thing I would add is media literacy classes for everyone.

14. Watch this video (or just read the lyrics). What pairing does this song remind you of and why? (I did not include the links, but the song is "Superman" by Ronan Keating)
After a fresh listen and not looking at my 2020 answer, my first thought is Jack/Daniel (Stargate SG-1). Why is hard to describe. The first two verses could easily be said by either of them. "Well, I'm no Superman/But I'll love you the best I can" is a very Jack thing to say. The flying references. It just all kind of works.
This is apparently not any of the 3 pairings I listed in 2020! I only actually still agree with 1 of my 3 answers from back then. Go figure.

15. When it comes to writing or art, what is your source for ideas/inspiration? Do you just brainstorm? Rely on talking to others? Workshop? Or do you hang out in prompting communities?
This answer remains unchanged.

Apparently there was a bonus question? I didn't find it when I was collecting the questions anew, but it was in my posts from when I did it in 2020: Bonus question 2020
