4, 5, and 18 for the ask meme please!

Of course.

4.  If you made a gang what would the design/text on the back of our matching jackets be:

The White Tree of Gondor with the 7 stars and the Crown of the King.  If I ever get a tattoo, this is what I would get.

5: if you were in a fantasy world what would be your ‘trademark’ item/feature:

My sarcastic wit.  I would be the protagonist’s sarcastic sidekick, because every protagonist needs a sarcastic sidekick.

18: What is your weapon of choice:

Magic staff, because I want to be a fucking wizard.

How about 9, 13, and 16?

Certainly.

9: a book you’d recommend:

Given the current political climate, 1984 by Orwell or The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood are good choices.  They are excellent dystopian works, as well as two of the best-written books I’ve ever read.  If you want something more fun to read, I’d recommend David Weber’s Honor Harrington series, if you like military-based space operas.

13: favourite Terrible™ movie:

Probably They Live.  There’s one scene where the protagonist is trying to convince his friend to wear this pair of sunglasses that allows you to see the aliens disguised as humans, but his friend refuses.  So they get into a fight which goes on for several minutes where they both just beat the crap out of each other over the most absurd thing: wearing a pair of sunglasses.

16: a random useless fact you know:

That Grond, the great wolf’s head battering ram that breaks down the doors of Minas Tirith in the Lord of the Rings, was named after Morgoth’s warhammer from the 1st Age.
