Asks!! Asks for friend!!!! 2, 4, 7, 20 pls!! <33
2. What is home to you? This is a tricky one. The people I love most are all home to me - my parents, my cousins, my best friends. The places I love best are home too - the lake at my grandma's house, the whole city of London. And yet I still feel like I haven't found home, when "home" means the place that I belong forever. I belong with all these people, yes, but not all the time; they have partners and lives of their own, and as much as I come back to visit I am not meant to stay indefinitely. I love to travel as much as I do because I am still searching for the place and people who will be the home I always return to.
4. What magical creature would you be? Oooooh depends on our definition of creature and which magical universe we're talking. Maybe an elf, maybe a mermaid; I love forests and I love to swim. Equally I could be a phoenix, as I'm very resilient, or a kneazle, as I am often cat-like.
7. Beach, castle, or forest? Forest!!! I adore disappearing into the trees for a while. It makes me feel centered and relaxed and connected with the world. Bonus points if there's a lake.
20. What color are you? My best friend reliably informs me that I am lavender - soft, gentle, regal, comforting. In rthstewart's Narnia universe (which I HIGHLY recommend, one of my all time favorite book series, start here), she describes gentleness really wonderfully, through a magical fire salamander talking to Queen Susan the Gentle about her new title: "Why gentle? Not harsh or severe, a gentle scolding, a gentle tap. Good breeding, high station, chivalrous as a knight that you shall never be. To tame or break, that will never be you. Easily managed? I suppose that's true enough, though you are the one doing the managing not being managed, if you take my meaning... The trick is, gentle isn't weak. Everyone thinks it is, and isn't. Gentle is getting your way without anyone noticing it. A tide is gentle until you drown in it. A tree grows gently until its roots strangle you." That's always resonated with me (as so much of rth's work does). I can be soft without being a pushover. I love being soft and comforting! I am a gentle person by nature; that does not mean I am not fighting for what I believe in.
