You vault over the back of the large, comfy chair in your recording studio (also known as the very-recently-converted-garage), settle in cross-legged, and try very hard to rake the remaining cobwebs out of your hair with one hand. The other is already hitting the GO LIVE button. You're might be maybe slightly a little bit of a mess, but you're also late.
"Hullo, hullo! Hi everyone! Thanks for waiting, whew—I'm Miya Truelove, and today we're holding my first ever Q! And! A!" You flash a smile for the camera. "Thanks to everyone who submitted questions, wow, there's a lot here. Let's see, let's see …"
One of your chat moderators flags up a live question, and you have to laugh. "What happened to my hair?" Giant, giant, giant spiders happened to your hair. Extremely giant spiders. "That's a surprise for another video!" Another question pops up, asking for a hint. "A hint? Hmm, hm, well, all I'll say is, look out for the next Without A Recipe challenge!"
You make a quick mental note to buy marshmallows. You can pass off spider webs as gooey marshmallow strings, right? You've seen Halloween cakes with marshmallow "web" decorations, right?? Right. It'll be fine. Moving on –
"Wrestleamyia asks, How did you get into modelling? I got pounced on the in the middle of the street and nearly had a heart attack." And nearly did a violence on reflex, but, details. "By Rosie, actually! That's how we met. She's a model and fashion designer. Let me know in the comments if you want us to do another video together again, the last one was a lot of fun— what was I saying? Oh! Right, yeah. Rosie tackled me out of nowhere and begged me to join a shoot she was doing, and I thought it sounded like fun. Things snowballed on from there."
"adambatt asks, What's your shoe-size? Shoes are the worst and should be banned. They're so pinch-y and confining. It's the barefoot life for me, my friends!"
"Elsie291 asks, What's your hair-care routine?" You laugh again, rueful, and give your hair another rake-through with your fingers. Eugh. "I wash my hair, ooh, about once a week? Usually once a week, early, early in the morning so's it's got a chance to dry. I'm trialling some new products at the mo, actually! Video'll be up on Saturday, so hang tight 'til then!"
"Anonymousse asks, What do you eat in a day? A few people've asked me to do a full video on this, actually … It's hard to say. I eat a lot. I love food, I love snacking, and there's so much yummy stuff out there I haven't tried yet! Somebody else – 1laura – asked, What's your favourite food? Hmmm. Hm! How'm I s'posed to pick just one? I like apples fresh from the garden, and honey-glazed salmon, and – I'll leave it there. Oh, but speaking of like—if you like this video, please give us a big thumbs up and ring the notification bell!"
And with that shameless call to action out of the way:
"Extracheesy1999 asks, Do you believe in flat Earth? Uh. Uhhh. Huh? What? No. Earth isn't flat. Is, is that a thing? Is that a thing people believe? There's a Science Guy who prob'ly extra definitely knows more about it than me, he's prob'ly got a video on it somewhere..."
"UniSONGyeah asks … What do you think of the latest discourse in the Prisma fandom? Uhh, what's the latest? Do I want to know? Be kind to each other, guys!"
"xxxPRISMAHOLIC asks, Are you and Kit dating? We're partners!"
"Karenvhat asks, Merch! Where's the merch!" Your only response to that is a big grin and a pair of finger guns …
