Disclaimer: It's sereinik, and this is my charity work of the season. Spooky, spooky.
Here is 73 Questions with Michael Heal, previously Tyrant and now, colloquially, Tirant. Based off of the popular Vogue series 73 Questions, which I absolutely love, this is the surprise fourth of probably a long-running series - check out @sosad2112’s 73 Questions here, @BasedGator's here, and @LanaDelReyquaza's here. They are probably more interesting than Tirant, but read ahead, my lovelies.
