#obviously there is ~fantasy~ that I love but I cannot quantify fantasy that appeals to me beyond knowing it when I see it

Hi! If you were the main character of a book/movie/tv show: would you prefer the genre to be Sci-Fi or Fantasy?

Zero thought, zero hesitation: sci-fi all the way. I am much more of a sci-fi fan than a fantasy one - I honestly (broadly - there are of course exceptions) find magic systems dull, dragons even more dull, and once I experienced LOTR I had quite enough high fantasy for one lifetime, thank you. I also would like to be in a genre example that isn’t prone to rape-assault for ~contradictory realism~.

I’ve had a few conversations along this line in the last couple of months, and each time I’ve pointed out that mass effect speaks to my soul; dragon age speaks to me on a mechanical front: I was captivated by the idea of creating and embodying my character*. Of course, I did love the story and characters. HOWEVER if I had been introduced to ME first, I prob would never have touched DA (but I’m committed and in too deep, no matter how my interest in dreadwolf dwindles.)

I like technology, I like transportation, I like glasses/contact lenses/advanced surgeries that allow me to not fall down a well and die as a toddler. I am extremely fond of indoor plumbing. I do not like capitalism and unfortunately I am more likely end up trapped under that But In Space, but again: toilets.

I would of course rather not be in a sci-fi war scenario, or hell dimension ship amok. But I think space is incredible, I think spaceships are very extremely cool, robots/ai are a fascinating proposal. I Would Like To Meet the Aliens And Hold Hands/Claws/Tentacles. And meta-narratively in whatever toilet-having sci-fi dystopia I am being dumped in, I think there is more space to interestingly explore socio-political/moral/philosophical concepts.

Most importantly, I am really into a good jumpsuit, and also spacesuits. I also want to have funky hair if am to be a space protagonist. Aesthetics, babey

*Beyond Sabrina The Teenage Witch: The Animated Series: The Game on Gamebou, Sabrina the Teenage Witch Spellbound and the other less good Sabrina game was on PC, which I hadn’t played on a decade , DA:O was my first videogame. Bc I like to start high and then be miserable forever more. See anime where I started w Cowboy Bebop soon followed by FAMB and now I hate all anime.
