a Q&A to celebrate hitting 4k 🎉🎉

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

maybe your husband could "interview you" off camera? like a documentary style where the interviewer is not seen but the person answering questions is? 😊

[@WickedScorpio]

That is such a good idea!!! 🤩

[@AFrolicInTheTomesxx]

Bella is pretty much exactly like my girl Athena! Athena is a Tortie though. They’re around the same age and just have a lot of the same quirks. Athena also won’t step on blankets and is just generally anxious.

[@WickedScorpio]

Athena is such a pretty name! It's such a funny quirk. I'm sure she's so sweet though. Bella is the angel of the house while the other two are constantly getting into stuff and messing with each other 😂

[@happyhauntslibrary]

CHUCKY!!!!! I am two movies away from finishing the entire franchise!! I am obsessed with him haha. Also you sound like me when I cook 😂 Poke is seriously amazing! Do you make them at home?? I have never done that! My Fiance makes fun of me for how much I crave sushi and poke 😂 And fingers crossed for your housing journey to come to a (happy) end very soon!! - shrek 2 is my fave. Loved the Hollywood vibes!!

[@WickedScorpio]

I'm so glad you loved chucky too!! Just such fun movies. I dont make poke at home. There's a bunch of really great ones by us and we get very different bowls so just buying them out is easier. Plus it's a great excuse to get a Boba tea too lol. So true about Shrek 2. I'm gonna have to rewatch both soon and really analyze them 👀

[@Melissa-yd2yp]

I read Tear after watching your video covering it. I am so thankful for that rec. I LOVED it. It was bizarre and now I trust your taste implicitly. Congrats on almost 6k!!

[@WickedScorpio]

YAYYYY that makes me so happy!! 🤗 such a great book 🖤🖤 and thank you so much ☺️

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

I think booktube overall is an overwhelmingly positive place.. one of the things I love about it!

[@WickedScorpio]

Absolutely!!

[@nataliehuber2855]

First of all, i just found your channel and absolutely adore you and your taste in books!! I also was a literary fic girlie but something about the blend of lyrical writing and horror just hit different!! I just finished reading “Hawk Mountain” by Conner Habib and I absolutely loved it. I feel like it would right up your ally; intoxicating writing, yet so disturbing!!! Crazy it’s also his debut novel!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you so much!! 🥹 so happy you stumbled on my little corner of YT. Oooo I havent heard of that one 👀 immediately adding it to my list. It sounds amazing!! Thank you so much for the rec 🖤

[@karolinawithak93]

🐈‍⬛ congrats on the milestone! Keep it up. Love your videos and your kitties are adorable! ❤

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you so much! 🖤 I appreciate you 🤗

[@vitareads]

Nobody in my life reads either, and I love this community so much 🥰 Yesss the Rob Zombie movies are SO good. Jennifer's Body is iconic. Good luck on the house! Hope it all works out! Your job sounds so interesting Thank you for the pet tour 😻 Totally understand if this is weird to you, but maybe a "tattoo tour" of ones you want to share with meanings if any. 👀 🐈‍⬛

[@WickedScorpio]

I mean we were already friends, but since you also love Rob zombie, now we're besties👭😂 Thank you so much for the well wishes on the house. Counting down the days until it's officially ours 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Ooo yes a tattoo tour will be put on the list!

[@Foobymaster1]

I have to say, I love the music tastes. Metalcore is the best music.

[@WickedScorpio]

Hell yeah 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@xlunadxll]

OMG. Sarah from possessed by horror also opened up the door for me about horror books. I love her!

[@WickedScorpio]

Love that 🖤 Her and spooky astronauts are my fav horror movie channels!!

[@LochsLibrary]

congrats on 4k you deserve it 💚💚💚

[@WickedScorpio]

Tysm 🥹🥹🫶🏻

[@happyhauntslibrary]

I remember your literary horror video!!!!! I loved it! I’m such a categorizational person too 😂 I like to pull from my TBR/movie watch list by theme or topic. I feel like I would get more views if I didn’t do that but I can’t help it. 😂 My brain loves categorizing things haha

[@WickedScorpio]

You are the queen of organization and categorization 🙌🏻🙌🏻 its so satisfying

[@mistymoonbeam6274]

I think your job is actually so cool :) .. I wanted to be a mortuary cosmetologist. Also a hard job to find so i'm not in that field anymore. I love niche jobs!

[@WickedScorpio]

My classes were in the mortuary science building so I met a lot of the mort sci people. Such an interesting aspect!!

[@kay_hush]

I'd love a rec video of horror books for readers coming from other genres. So if I read romance or fantasy or sci fi or nonfiction etc primarily, what would be a good horror book to start with?

[@WickedScorpio]

Ooo yes I love that idea! I'll see what I can come up with.

[@halleys.library]

Your job sounds so interesting!! And i wholeheartedly agree living in Ohio is a love/hate relationship especially in the winter 🤪

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you!! The weather is so unpredictable 🥲

[@spicykatzreads]

Congrats on 4k!! Ur movie favs are 100% on point!! Love all those movies and shows I’ve watched parks and recs so many time haha it’s my comfort show With Shrek 1 I feel like I love watching 3/4 of the movie but I can watch all of Shrek 2

[@spicykatzreads]

🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you so much!! 🖤 as I was editing I realized I forgot to mention so many others like Midsommar and now I'm blanking again 😂 That's so true for Shrek. But now I need to know which 1/4 you don't like watching 👀 I could fast forward through the wedding scene every watch and won't miss it.

[@TheEarbudBookworm]

I loved learning more about you! We have a lot in common, but some stuff we definitely differ on. Which is nice. I don't just want to follow a bunch of people that are carbon copies of me. 🤣😂

[@WickedScorpio]

Yesss we need some variety!! 🖤

[@syd2765]

🐈‍⬛🫶🏻 Ok 1. Why do I relate to Winnie so hard lol 2. I am actually going to Independence, Ohio later this summer for an egg donation!!!! 3. Your job is so cool wtf???? I’ve never heard of a pathologists’ assistant but it sounds so fun and interesting!!

[@WickedScorpio]

Hahahah I wish I had even half the energy she has. I've heard of independence! No idea where it actually is though honestly 😂😂 It is definitely a very small and not well known career so I'm happy I found out about it and was able to pursue it! 🖤

[@sstjohn96]

Congratulations ❤ shout out to one of my faves

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you so much!! 🥹🫶🏻🖤

[@midnight-tomes]

So excited for your growth!!! 🖤🖤 Lauren & Maddie 12:36 This reminded me of a recent thought I had about how I started reading again early 2022, and I was like "wtf did I do all of 2020-2021 during Covid??? watch tv??" like ugh I could have read so many books lol 14:17 Zak Bagans 🤤 Not the American Girl doll lol I had to get ride of one of those life size Barbies when I was little because it was scaring me Megan Fox was done so dirty by Jennifer's Body not being an instant hit Congrats on the house progress! Will it be closer to work? 😂 26:24 TAA is going to be in Boston the same night as Sleep Token which I'm already going to and I'm sooo upset. I've been loving the kind of metal that's like Too Close to Touch and The Plot in You recently too 30:30 super interesting! Could totally see you on the forensics side too

[@WickedScorpio]

I was sadly in school at peak covi and had to transition into my career so I was studying and crying a lot 😂😂 The American girl doll was the most expensive toy I had that I begged my mom for for years so there was no way I could get rid of it lmaoo The house is a whole 2 minutes closer to work 🤪🥲 but worth it Ughhhh sleep token is another one i enjoy. Them and The Plot in You are definitely more ~vibey~ experiences. I'll have to check out too close to touch I hope to get into the forensic side later in my career. I did two months as a student at the Detroit medical examiners office and loved it

[@StephMorgan_]

I actually found your channel and subscribed through your literary horror video! I really enjoyed it 😊 Crochet is easy once you get some practice, imo it's very nice to make accessories but it can be quite stiff. I just started knitting and I find it a lot faster to pick up (but slower to produce something). Your job sounds so cool! I would love to do something related to medicine but I couldn't handle the gore so I'm in a neuro psych lab where I can hide from dealing with people and their innards 😂 🐈‍⬛

[@WickedScorpio]

Omg I love that 🥹 thank you so much 🥰 I did know how to knit when I was younger, so maybe if I tried again, it would come back to me faster. I definitely need to try something. Hahah yeah, it's definitely not a job for everyone. Sometimes, I'll be dissecting a specimen, like an amputated leg or whatever, and just think "wow this is actually kind of crazy that im doing this". My husband refuses to even listen to my work stories 😂

[@StephMorgan_]

@@WickedScorpio omg an amputated leg 😂

[@readwithdrb]

I loved learning more about you, especially your job! It sounds really cool!

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@madisonnn683]

Just found your channel and am bingeing your videos. You’re such a cool person, and I love these sit down videos!! Subscribed ❤️❤️

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you so much! 🥹 so happy you found my channel 🖤

[@teslagoth9401]

I’m in Ohio too ♥️ weeee! lol I work in a lab too :)

[@WickedScorpio]

Omg thats so funny! Small world :)

[@sarathelibrarian]

I feel so seen as another Sara(h) with hyperfixations on specific foods until I burn out on them 😂

[@WickedScorpio]

Hahahah it's the only way I know 🤣

[@Jonathan-B_]

Winnie got that Tortitude

[@WickedScorpio]

She gives Nala a run for her money 😂😂

[@jennabetweenbooks]

Girl we are so similar❤️ I think you’d really like the band sleep token😊

[@WickedScorpio]

Yes I love them!! I recently got into them last year 🖤

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Okay your job sounds so cool!? SHES A SMARTIE PANTS

[@WickedScorpio]

Hahahah thank you! It's such a small and very unknown career. I'm so glad I stumbled on it during my undergrad and was able to fully pursue it

[@happyhauntslibrary]

And the feeling is so mutual, internet friend. 😂🥰 (isn’t that such a funny term?!) I wish you lived closer!! We would just be hanging out at coffee shops and I’d make you watch horror movies with me 😂 Seriously you’re the sweetest and I always appreciate your authenticity. And thank you for always being such a cheerleader for me and my content!!

[@WickedScorpio]

We really couldn't live farther too 😂😂 Thank you so much Lauren! You absolutely deserve it 👏

[@brooklinslibrary]

Congrats on 4k almost 5!!! 😱 I have your zodiac and lit horror video on my watch later! Its always so interesting to hear what the creator's favorite videos are and if they are different than what is popular on their channel 7:14 my besties 💖 I love them too amazing people! 9:45 they are the best books IMO. The first fight question 💀 I have a list of book characters in my phone that could catch these hands if we ever met Nah because if the zombie apocalypse happened, I'm gone 🤣 yess Parks and Rec and The Office. We need more mocumentary style comedy series 🙏 21:59 REAL OMG my fiancé thinks I'm crazy for this CONGRATS ON THE HOUSE TOO!!!! Oof I have to go with Shrek 2 bc it's one of my 5 favorite movies of all time Doja 🙏🙏🙏 the Hot Pink album is unmatched Beyoncé Lana and Post are going country??? time to enter the yeehaw era 🤠 your IRL job sounds so cool!! Bellaaaa where the hell have you been [during this video] loca? 🐈

[@WickedScorpio]

I love hearing what creators favorite vids are too. Hahahah I love that you have a list for that. I can definitely think of a few characters (cough cough Annie from cackle 🤣🤣) Thank you for the congrats!!! Counting down the days until it is officially ours 🥹 Hahahahah no that quote for bella would work everytime bc she's already hiding 😭😂

[@astoldbymaddie]

Q&A to celebrate 4k and you're already close to 5k!!! Iconic 🙌 Can't wait to watch on my lunch break 🥰

[@WickedScorpio]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@AidaPersianprincess]

Wow your job really matches you!! So cool! I'm actually a field agent working for medical examiner. I could definitely see you as an autopsy tech!

[@WickedScorpio]

Thats so cool! I never went out on the field. My training was in a very high crime and high homelessness area, so it could get pretty dangerous, but the scene photos had me so grateful for the investigators

[@longfatallovechase]

Such an fun video! Your job sounds very interesting ❤

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you!! 🤗🖤

[@JazzReadsBooks]

Shrek is a comfort movie for me too! 🥰 So glad I found your channel, I got into reading as an adult as well and it has been so fun!

[@WickedScorpio]

Such a good movie! So happy to have you ☺️

[@maddymoonslibrary]

Congratulations on 4k 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you!! 🖤

[@KcannyTBO]

Aww you're so nice, Sarah! I'm very glad to have found you in this massive world of YT. Your work sounds SO INTERESTING. I hope your house hunting goes well and you can leave all the stress behind. Your kitties are lovely too, I have an 8 yeard old girl myself! I wanted to leave a rec for a series I thought you might enjoy: The Haunting of Hill House and The Fall of the House of Usher, both by the same director. Maybe you'll like those! They have some nice, subtle themes and body horror :) Congrats on your milestone! 📖💙

[@WickedScorpio]

Happy you found my little corner of YT too 🫶🏻🫶🏻 and thank you for the well wishes 🖤 I LOVED the haunting of hill house! I do really want to watch the fall of the house of usher too but I currently don't have Netflix but may get it again one day! Thanks again 🤗

[@jjennyj77]

Your job sounds really awesome!! I work in a forensic biology laboratory!

[@WickedScorpio]

I originally wanted to do forensic Chem in my undergrad, but realized it was just a bunch of mass spec😅 then I found out about forensic pathology and researched avenues into that field and PA was in there!

[@monicamae6219]

Congratulations on 4k!🎉🎉 I also absolutely LOVE Amity, Kublai TX. It sounds like metalwise, our music taste previous and present are alike. You should check out Fox Lake and The Devil Wears Prada. (And Ratblood, a small hardcore band)

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you so much!! Yessss love to have a fellow listener here 🖤🖤 I know I've listened to the devil wears Prada but I can't think of their songs specifically off the top of my head so I will definitely give them another listen and check out fox lake and ratblood!! Thx for the recs 🙌🏻

[@Kaitydid_Krixtur]

Congrats ! Newer subscriber here. Your job sounds very interesting

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you so much!! 🤗 so happy to have you here

[@goodmornindreamer]

That is amazing congrats on the 4k!! As a newer person to the channel and a lover of the zodiac signs I'll definitely have to take a look at the zodiac signs video, it sounds like a lot of fun! When my fiancé and I met, one of my questions on my dating profile involved that I was looking for the perfect zombie apocalypse partner 🤣

[@goodmornindreamer]

also 😺🐈

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you so much!! So happy to have you here 🖤🖤 Hahahah that is hilarious. Its a fair criteria for a partner, I respect it 😂

[@goodmornindreamer]

@@WickedScorpio I'm excited to be here!💞 🤣 lol thank you! Unfortunately, my fiancé probably won't last in a zombie apocalypse but if he's able to get into the kitchen at a survival camp, he promises to make sure there's always good food.

[@NinasLibrary]

Your three girls are adorable! I love the universal experience of calling cats literally anything but their established names LOL

[@WickedScorpio]

Literally shouldn't have even bothered with their "real" names hahah

[@Kritz_Reads]

Congrats on 4k (pretty much 5k now!) hahaa, I find the videos I spent the most time/effort making are the ones that don't get a lot of views as well (compared to an easy haul video). Rob Zombie movies scare me the most because they always seem like something that could total happen if I was in the middle of nowhere. hahaa, Winnie eating everything. Your job sounds so freaking cool!

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you so much 🤗 yeahhhh that is definitely the pattern I am getting 😅 So true about Rob zombie movies. They can be on the tropey side but I am so entertained by them. She has a thing for straws too so it we leave a to go drink out, it will get spilled from her trying to steal the straw 😂😂

[@bri02600]

I swear I have the whole series of The Office memorized Congrats on the house! Hope everything goes smoothly from here

[@WickedScorpio]

Literally same. As long as it's playing, I don't even need to look at the screen, the entire scene is playing in my mind 😂 Thank you so much 🤗🖤

[@katrinabrown]

Congratulations on hitting 4k! 🥳🎉 Im so happy I met you and i love your channel and tlaking books with you!! That's such a cool job!! Your kitties are so adorable! I love how cats have such different personalities 😂🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you 🥰🥰 As soon as I was editing, I was like omg I didn't mention Katrina or so many other amazing people 🥲 my mind just blanked as soon as I needed to think of everyone. They really are all so different from one another 😂😂

[@literarylove123]

Congratulations!

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@adriennelee26]

Congratulations on almost 5k and the house! I hope the rest of the process is successful. I feel terrible for people looking for a house in today's market. Literary horror is my favorite.

[@adriennelee26]

Nala is your lit fic MC cat 😂🐈

[@WickedScorpio]

Thank you so much!! 🥹🥹 We were looking for over a year, and it was so rough. Everything is going well over asking, and we were being heavily beat out by all cash offers, which, as FTHB we just couldn't compete with. Yeah I'm realizing literary horror is definitely my most loved genre! She really is 😂😂

[@syd2765]

7:05 omg im gunna cry!!! Im literally teary-eyed 🥹🩷🥰 (my pisces is showing 🤣) I feel the exact same! So grateful to booktube for connecting us. Our friendship surpasses booktube for me, true friend status 🥰 8:43 okay youve convinced me. Im getting my hands on tear immediately. Random q but have you read a dowry of blood? Ive soooo late to the party on it but omg. The writing is freaking gorgeous. I think youd love it 14:48 LOL same. My will to live on a good day is average 🤣 Yess parks and rec abd the office ive watched sooo many times. Hiii winnie!!! 🥰🩷 LOL a whole loaf of bread 🤣🤣 girl after my own heart .... Okay not the vomit 🤣🤣🤣 My cat used to be ADDICTED to plastic. I had to hide any plastic bags, the wrappjng on toilet paper. He was nuts. BUTTER AND CHEESE NOODLES YESSSS i would live off that if i could. 😭😍🤤 YAY!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON THE HOUSE!!! thats amazing. So happy for you 🙌🎉 I felt the same way about house hunting. I thought it was gunna be so fun, but the amount of houses i cried over... Embarrassing. Yoyre definitely right about luck being involved. The only reason we got our house during covid was cause the keys that were left for realtors wouldnt work, so i think most people gave up 👀 Tate mcrae!!! Yaaa my canadian girlie. 🙌 Thats a fascinating job! I had no idea. I thought you were in tech for some reason lol Hi Nala 🩷 queen of the house as she should be Girl you saying all these medical terms im like 😳 so smart. Totally over my head Hi Bella 🩷 youre so cute. Listen to those purrs 🥹 The nicknames for all the cats are so cute. Its so funny how far the nicknames are from the names. Like henry we call bug or boog, LMAO 🤣

[@WickedScorpio]

Pisces are my favorite 🫶🏻 (angelos a Pisces lol). Booktube has honestly been so great 🥹 You need to read tear like immediately. It was what I wanted supplication to be, yet somehow just so much more endearing to me. Literally obsessed. I have not read dowry yet. I own it and keep putting it off bc I also think I will love it so the pressure is holding me back 😂😂 but I will for sure read it this year. I put it in my 24 for 24 so no excuses. Because of winnies influence, the two older ones have now gained an interest in everything we eat. So now everytime we eat, we have three cats staring us down. Winnie is so sneaky she's even grabbed chicken wings right off our plates in from of us 😂 she also enjoys diving into and ripping up plastic bags. Absolutely wild. We can't wait to be in the house 🥰 I'm trying to not get too invested bc I've heard so many horror stories of deals falling through last minute, but once that title is transferred, I will know peace and happiness 🙌🏻 I would die if I was in tech 😭😭 I cried over not being able to set up my printer one time lmaooooo. Bug is one we use too!! Usually in "bug-a-boo". No idea where it came from 🤣 Theres honestly too many nickname iterations to remember them all lol. Boog is adorable.
