1. If you could have been reborn into one race of Arda, which one would you chose? Man, Elf, Dwarf, Orc or a Hobbit? Or maybe something completely different like a Barlog or a Dragon?

    Pffffft like I’d pick anything other than an Efl!... or a Maia, or a Dragon... so basically something cool and preferably immortal but I wouldn’t be picky!

2. It is difficult to follow the path of your destiny alone. Chose your animal companion!

     Meeep that’s tricky, deer are my fave so I guess a deer :3.

3. What languages do you speak?

    Uh I suck and only speak English, and even that isn’t very good.

4. Which country would you like to visit the most?

    New Zealand!! For the obvious reasons :P Other than that how can I only pick one? 

5. If you could chose one of the three elven rings, would you pick Narya, Nenya or Vilya and why? (Do your research!)

    Nenya me thinks! Although Naya could come in handy as well.

6. Your school is introducing some new curriculum! Chose one of the classes from the Harry Potter that you’d like to do! (You even get to do real magic!)

   Transfiguration fosho, or actually maybe apparition!

7. A shining door appears in front of you! You open it and see your most beloved book/movie/game world! But the door is fading quickly and you only have time to grab three things to take with you! Which world would the door take you to? Would you step through and which 3 items would you take?

   Oh lordy this is a tough one, ummm if I was being practical I’d take food, a water canteen and a blanket, but I’m not. So I’d probably grab a book (fave world would probs be Middle Earth so lotr or the silm may actually come in handy), a photo of my family or something, and my iPod (assuming it had weird infinite charge from then on)?

8. If you could save one fictional character from their canon death, who would it be and why?

   Yup no this is the toughest question, there are so many! Umm maybe Commander Shepard from Mass Effect? (moving away from Tolkien, and assuming I didn’t get the perfect outcome where she lives but that takes soooo much work and I did it like twice and then cba to do that again!). I’d say one of the many, many elves who die  unnecessarily in the silm, but then they get a new body anyway (after they’ve had some time out to think on what they messed up in life) so that kinda feels like a waste of a save.

9. What’s your least favourite food?

   Meat and Fish (ewwwwww)

10. Are you wearing any socks?

   Hell no

11. What colour is the sky outside?

   Navy, tis night!

And now my questions!:

1. Pineapple on pizza? (the correct answer being a solid “hell no”)2. House Fëanor, Fingolfin or Finarfin?

3. Gimme the third line down on page 97 of the book nearest to you! (bonus points if you manage to somehow turn that into a question)

4. Favourite tea flavour?

5. What’s your creative output?

6. Which Elven forest would you wish to wake up in: Doriath, Greenwood, or Lothlorien?

7. Are you more Smaug or Ancalagon?

8. Pick a fandom and tell me what house you’re in! (So GoT, Harry Potter, even the Tolkien readalong houses tbf)

9. Would you rather have any food you wanted for eternity but only be allowed to drink water, or have whatever drinks you wanted but only be allowed to eat lembas?

10. Would you rather have lobster claws for hands or crab legs for feet?

11. Are you more of a minimalist or a hoarder?

Finally I tag anyone in the Team Silm chat, the Glorfindel Network , the Silmarillion Network, and anyone else really!
