I might come back and edit in 11 (silly) questions but since I never tag people in these memes, [hand wave]
1. Autumn or Spring?
Spring. Autumn down here is still just as hot as summer (which okay, subtropics, we have seasonal changes, it’s just not drastic), but Spring is the last gasp of activity before it gets so hot that you don’t really stay outdoors. And just on a metaphorical level, spring is new renewal.
2. What sort of dreams do you typically have?
I daydream and have long-running stories, but my actual dreams tend to be those anxiety-driven psuedo-nightmares. Being flustered and unprepared boarding airplanes for a trip. That sort of thing. I banish them from my memory within fifteen minutes of waking up.
3. Thirteen hungry dwarves have come uninvited to your house! Quick, what do you prepare for them?
Pantry and kitchen normal? I’m making them tacos, because all I have to do is brown the ground meat and add seasonings. Unlike my other staple dishes, I don’t have to wait for rice or pasta noodles. As long as I have the tortillas, cheese, sour cream, any extras like lettuce, tomato, etc.., they can customize their tacos as they want, it’s eaten with hands so the only dishes I have to clean is one frying pan and plates. It’s standard quasi Tex-Mex so I represent (If I had them on-hand/didn’t have to make, prepare, and cook per-say, my other choice would be to steam them tamales, because omg that was the best thing I discovered when I first moved down here was pork tamales, and those are Tex-Mex)
4. Five songs or groups you’ve been into lately?
Bishop Briggs, the soundtrack to King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, rediscovering teenage-me’s love of certain songs by Slipknot, The Revivalists, The Lumineers
5. Would you rather be saved by an Elven prince plagued by a terrible Oath or a Space Alien princess overcome by grief?
Allura is so much better than any son of Fëanor also have we done a compare her to Elwing yet? If Children of Húrin and The Silmarillion proper have taught me anything, getting involved with tragic heroes under Oaths is not conductive to long health. Alien princess we can mutually save each other with bonds of friendship
6. This world is falling apart but a portal has opened up. Which fictional world would you like to live in for the rest of your life?
I want safety and security and the internet/modern convenience is so nice. Honestly I’d pick one of the SF universes that isn’t too war-torn. The Vorkosigan books- because the medical tech is so good and I could watch the news and see the headlines and know Miles is behind whatever bullshit crisis is going on.
7. The most hilarious mishap you’ve had or had witnessed?
[Honestly, drawing a blank here]
8. If you’re a fanfic writer: do you remember the first ever fic you ever wrote? Or if you write mainly original fic: first story? Artists: first art piece?
Finished full-length? Original fic, twelve years old, team of five spec ops each with a pegasus (three women, two guys, color-coded, heavily influenced by Heralds of Valdemar and the Star Wars X-Wing series)
9. What book or show or movie or game was dearest to your heart as a child?
Thinking back? Disney princess movies, probably. And certain segments of Fantasia. Little Mermaid and Beauty and Beast for wee little heget especially.
10. Any book/movie/show/game rec for your followers?
The Belisarius Series or Ring of Fire/1632 books if you want some SF historical fiction that tackle such a wide variety of social and technological topics, are incredibly funny, especially Belisarius which tackles what it is to be counted human and has so many awesome empresses and my golden standard for Evil Empire (that is to say- at first glance it seems stereo-typically fetish awful, like GRRM’s Ghiscari bad- but when broken down you root for the individual parts of it). Ring of Fire because here’s thousands of pages about European -and World- History of the mid-1600s that you never knew about (Japanese Christians in Thailand), and science and tech both modern and not, here’s a detailed story about trying to overthrow the absolute monarchies and religious persecution (and save the Dodo).
Manga/Comics? Green Lanterns run by Sam Humpheries. Fall in love with Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz. New Super-man – it’s a good stand-alone/self-contained story for the most part about a Chinese teen who gets the powers of Superman. Rurouni Kenshin (watch the live-action movies if nothing else; they’re an adaptation done right). Fullmetal Alchemist manga. Princess Tutu (for the love of god, watch Tutu)
11. Is the absence of evidence an evidence of absence?
What’s the data collection? The question as postulated has incomplete data – if nothing else we have evidence of lack of clarification on how rigorous this data collection and methods used were to have absences.
