4. Favourite character from original trilogy?

Han Solo. With Lando as a close second. (If I’d come to Star Wars as an adult, it would probably be Lando, but some part of me is still teen!me, so...)

13. Would you want to be a force user?

Part of me says, oh god yes that would be so convenient. Cat on my lap and I want a snack, just use the Force! Need to get something off a top shelf? Force! You’d probably never have to worry about fender benders again.

On the other hand, oh no, now you have super powers, you should probably do something more useful with them than making snacks. I’m not sure I want that kind of responsibility.

(Now, being a force user in the Star Wars universe? Oh no. That is not going to go well. Nope!)

18. How has Star Wars impacted your life?

More ways than I probably could ever know. I was 14 when I became a Star Wars fan, which led to my getting into science fiction in general, and going to conventions, and discovering tabletop roleplaying games, and all that. I have online friends I met due to SWTOR and or writing fanfic. (Actually, all of my Tumblr friends are due to that, indirectly, since I got on Tumblr looking for SWTOR fans, way back in the day.) While it’s not the only fiction I like that has strong themes of friendship and doing what’s right and sometimes not so typical solutions to problems, it’s definitely one of those stories.

I have fond memories of going to opening day or midnight showings with friends and coworkers. Of talking about Star Wars with friends. Of reading (or yelling about) various books.

For all the occasional frustrations, it’s brought me a lot of happiness, friends, and other things I value. Sure, some of the things I can trace back to Star Wars might have happened anyway. But in this time line, they happened because Star Wars.

32. Who would you cosplay as?

thanks for asking! 

4. what was your favourite tv show as a kid?

There wasn’t a lot I remember between my Mr. Rogers/Sesame Street days and say...pre-teen tv watching.  My folks kept pretty good control of our tv time and it was mostly what we watched together.  I recall liking MASH and I watched Westerns on Saturday.  hmm.  The first thing I remember *begging* to watch was Knight Rider (gosh I did love that car :D)

14 what is your defining personality trait?

ehh....I am probably too comfortable being alone and I prefer it?  I’m not even sure I’m an introvert at this point, I just get tired of accommodating people. 

Answered 18, here so how about...

9. what are your favourite shoes like?

Ooh thank you for picking this!

I think my main issue with the Bond films is that as a writer and a reader of stories, I always find myself looking under the surface for depth that usually isn’t written into the original story. In the case of Goldeneye, the movie is written such that Alec Trevelyan is a villain, no shades of grey, no substance - just a man who decided that he wasn’t satisfied with his work anymore and betrayed his country and his best friend. The problem, though, is in all the little details that don’t. quite. match somehow. The way he keeps insisting that Bond betrayed him somehow when there was no such betrayal during the opening sequence. The way that he’s supposed to have been faking his own death and therefore not actually shot in the head or at most grazed versus the way he visibly lays there unmoving on the floor while stacks of gas canisters come crashing down onto him, speaking to him being already badly injured and probably suffering further head injury during his supposed defection. Add onto that that Trevelyan’s supposed backstory makes no sense given his age versus the date that his parents would supposedly have died, and I’m left trying to make ends meet like a somewhat frustrated electrician and coming to the realization that I’m going to need a conduit of some kind in between, such as the idea that Trevelyan didn’t defect but was brainwashed into believing that he did and then was set loose on MI6 and England. 

(soft asks)

23. favorite piece of clothing?

Ok look, I have a bra that I got a few months ago that fits p e r f e c t l y , it just makes me happy to wear. Don’t have to worry while I’ve got it on. If you get that you get it, right?? 

25. what’s the best personal gift someone could give you (playlist, homemade card, etc.)

Oh man. I love most gifts that feel personal regardless because gift giving is not a language I speak fluently. So I’m touched by just about anything that feels like they took the time to think about me. In particular, I love art that I didn’t have to do myself. Writing. 

30. what reminds you of home (doesn’t have to mean house… just things that remind you of the feeling of home)?
