7. Favorite fruit: Blueberries.

8. Favorite season: Winter. Winter year-round would be ideal.

9. Favorite book: The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper captivated me in grade school, and I still re-read it. Tolkien’s works shaped my world when I was 12. Roger Zelasny’s The Chronicles of Amber (original five stories) gave me my first fictional crush. Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching books are wonderful. I don’t read a lot of fiction, but I do read a lot of poetry, and my list of favorite poets would probably crash Tumblr. I’m partial to Italian women poets of the 16th century, and early Irish poets.

13. Favorite animal: Birds. Especially swans.

14. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate: Yes. Also cognac.

15. Average hours of sleep: 7 - 8. I can do with less sleep if I can sleep during my body's downtime, but that doesn't happen often, being a night person with a day job.

16. Cats or dogs: Birds.

17. Numbers of blankets you sleep with: Velvet duvet wrapped around a feather comforter; velvet blanket; two sheets.

1. Writing with any of my fountain pens. 2. Putting on cufflinks. There’s something greatly satisfying about the tactile experience of it. 3. Fancy handkerchiefs. 4. Drinking from my antique crystal champagne flutes. 5. Reading angsty, plot-intensive, fic.

Good with your qualifying process. We can assist in reminding you WTF the fic is about.

How about something from the Cannes red carpet, or the Thor TDW red carpet. in London or LA.

Oh Cannes was a great look, that blue suit is still one of my faves, I’ll make a compilation of that, thanks for the suggestion! :)

“lucifersarmpit answered your post: I might make some gifs today, but...”

How about the scene from Thor... his reaction to finding out what he really is? Or the scene after Thor is banished and Loki tells the others he was the one who sent the guard to tell Odin? :)

I don’t think I’ve ever giffed either of those scenes (the whole Thor 1 movie is really hard to colour, but I’ll give it a try ^-^)

the-haven-of-fiction reblogged your post and added:

Oh boy! Uhm…either one! Both! Whichever you...

I wrote about this before… but my opinion is that in both instances, it was a cultural and time period specific reality that people were reprimanded that way.  Especially in the case of women, who were mostly seen as property as opposed to actual partners in life.  To have left something like that out of the books or out of the show—or to glance over it—would have been a disservice to the historical authenticity DG and Ron Moore are trying to create.

More discussion below…

Ok, so now you are just teasing all of us.  Has she let you know where this is headed or are you as much in the dark as we are?

I've read all of them 4 times. They are wonderful. The TV production is fabulous as well.

I agree, I'm a huge fan of the tv show and I've been really excited to read the books since they've been on my to-read list for years.

However, if this spoiler pans out how I've been told it will and depending on how the show handles it will really change how I view the series.
