1. If you could prevent the death of one fictional character, who would it be?
I have honestly read too many books to pick someone. Because this is such a horrible question and I have to answer it, I'm going to go with Ged from the Earthsea Series, by Ursula Le Quin. Not only do I consider him an amazing character, his circumstances would also put him in a wonderful position to be capable of living longer.
However, I do enjoy cheating on these questions -- so I have to mention that at the moment I feel very passionately about Padmé's death. I feel that she deserved a far better part of the film, and the death scene was really a massive disservice to her entire character.
2. If you could kill off one fictional character, who would it be?
Probably Christian Grey from 50 Shades of Grey. I admit to reading the 1st and last books in the trilogy and as an abuse survivor I wasn't impressed in the slightest by his characterization and abusive traits. If he didn't exist the book may have been poorly written, but it wouldn't give a false idea of romance=/=abuse to it's readers, through Christian's actions.
3. You must read one of the following fanfics: a well-written story about a pairing you hate, or a grammatically flawed, somewhat OOC story about your OTP/BrOTP. Which do you choose?
Well ... I actually wouldn't mind reading either. I have some spare time and I like to spend it reading. In terms of my OTP I will read any material possible since the shipping is so rare, and so I've learnt to pass by grammatical errors in some circumstances. Yet in rare cases, I've actually been turned from hating to loving, just because of a well written fan-fiction. Nicely articulated words can go a long way.
4. Congratulations! You’ve won a million dollars. All of it must be spent at the same store, and whatever you don’t spend in one week will disappear. Where do you go?
This one got me thinking for a long time. I can't think of a single store that would sell everything that I'd like to buy, so I would go to a trustworthy and reliable shop to buy high quality gold. I'd then sell the gold back at some point for the highest possible price I could manage, get my millions back and be free to spend it whenever I liked!!
6. Would you rather watch only low-quality bootleg versions of movies for the rest of your life, or only have access to dial-up Internet?
I'd rather only be able to watch low-quality bootleg versions of movies. I depend on the internet too much for many things, including communication and successfully running my small business. Thankfully I'm not too emotionally invested in films, and I'm sure that I could manage without them.
7. What is something that you’ve always wanted to do, but never gotten around to actually doing?
Discovering other dimensions in which things like the Force and other great fictional concepts and worlds exist. Yeah, I may be more than a little engrossed within fiction.
8. Would you rather live somewhere where it’s always raining, or somewhere that’s always hot and sunny? Assume that water supply isn’t a problem (e.g. there’s no drought if you choose sunny).
I'd rather live somewhere it was always raining. When I was younger I used to love the rain - I'd stand outside for hours like listening and staring, although sometimes I'd play with the water, too. I enjoy bouts of sun and I'd prefer for the temperatures not to be cold, but the rain is so beautiful. That's assuming that we would never have problems with flooding.
9. What talent would you like to have that you don’t have already?
There's too many to choose from! I'm actually quite content with my talents as they are, although I'd love to be able to sing. Preferably like Lisa Gerard. Is that asking too much?
10. To prevent yourself from freezing to death, you must burn EITHER a stack of $20 bills (or your country’s equivalent), or the only remaining copy of your favorite book. Which do you choose?
Going to have to choose to keep the book. That book would be extremely precious to me and worth far more than money (besides, it might fetch money at a later date, after I've made a copy) - and I could always earn the money back. I'm sure I'd feel regret though, and would feel bad about the waste of money, considering that it's something many people are lacking.
11. You have the power to bring one extinct species back to life. What species do you choose?
I'll choose Haast's Eagle. It'd be very scary and I'm sure it wouldn't last for long, but it'd be cool. Sorry for disappointing, I'm sure there could have been many more intelligent answers to this. If I was going to be serious I'd opt for something with a sea habitat, since there's so much we can't explore or harm.
1. If you had to pick the most realistic and best written female character that you'd ever come across, who would it be? Explain why.
2. When writing, drawing, discussing, etc. which character can you empathise with the most?
3. Which piece of media (film, book, comic, etc) do you feel has had the worse overall affect on the world as a whole, and why?
4. You go on a journey to the moon and are assured a safe journey and a happy life once you got there, with everything needed to survive. You cannot go back, but you can take someone with you if you wish. Would you pick anyone? If so, whom?
5. If you could ensure that one living female of today's age was never forgotten by girls of the future, who would you choose?
6. Would you consider (and carry out) a genocide of a people at somebody else's command, if you had been taught to hate them your entire life?
7. Choose one person in your life who has made a large impact on your own personal welfare for the better. Who is it? Make sure to give them a happy day today. :)
8. Would you rather loose the ability to communicate in any way possible, or loose the ability to feel and touch things?
9. You can teach a child one thing that will be beneficial to them in the future. They listen to you and will heed your advice. What do you tell them?
10.s What are the last 3 TV shows that you have watched which feature either a well developed woman, PoC, or LGBTQIAP+ person as a main character?
11.Have you ever planted a tree from a seed of a fruit you've eaten and seen it grown until it was at least a sapling?
