🎥 Fave film

📻 Fave song currently

📝 AAAA so many... but Gandalf's "Saruman believes it's only great power [...] ...it is small, everyday acts of kindness that help keep evil ay bay" from The Hobbit: an Unexpected Journey, resonating very much within my heart.

🌐 OK so Greek is my native language, I'm almost native-level fluent in English, know conversational French (though I need to brush up on them), very very basic Russian and I am learning both that, and Japanese by myself until I can afford to go back to school for them!

🎥 OOF again so many... can I list my top 3? I'll list my top 3: Pacific Rim, HTTYD, and any LoTR/Hobbit movie!

📻 hmm Make a Move by Icon for Hire has been blasting inside my brain repeatedly for the past week

Fic title: "You stepped and you jumped and you went right over"

I'd write a Star Wars fic about a young, impulsive Jedi - probably Ahsoka tbh - losing her way or making a very big mistake, motivated by good intentions. I think I'd start with an older, wiser character - if I'm writing the story with Ahsoka, then probably Obi-Wan - telling a personal story of making the same type of mistake that comes into play later on, and Ahsoka feeling that she has learned from it. But of course, she'd face the same circumstances and do the exact same thing, and it would end without a neat resolution.

Like Obi-Wan getting fooled into helping some poor orphan children who are actually in a criminal ring, and it turns out he's been played by some pretty awful people and inadvertently helped them hurt a whole bunch of innocents, with the moral of his story being that compassion is always the right choice, but it's not an absolute guarantee that you won't cause pain around you. Ahsoka would remember that story as something pretty sad that couldn't happen to her, and then (probably during the early days of the Empire) she'd repeat that same scenario.

It wouldn't end too depressingly but it wouldn't be very happy either. I think the end would just be heavy and thoughtful, with the real challenge being accepting responsibility but without self-recrimination.

Quote time!

"Back then, the bird soaring the skies seemed freer than anything"

"I am prepared to drink the poison of immortality, so let us live together"

"What kind of flowers bloom in that paradise?"

"What should I, in my weakness, loathe? Ah, now I finally know"

"As we sing of the time of the cherry blossoms"

"The people who wandered in the dark"

"The fire of your soul that burned so red"

"Dress me all in flowers white so no mortal eye can see"

"In blinded night we are singing a glorious cry for freedom"

Oooh lemme think...

"Back then, the bird soaring the skies seemed freer than anything" - I think this is Galadriel, reflecting on her decision to leave Valinor, on her reasons, her desire for her own realm to rule and to be free with no one having authority over her, and whether it was worth all the suffering and all the grief. Or if she is even free at all, or if she only found another set of duties and expectations in Middle-Earth instead

"I am prepared to drink the poison of immortality, so let us live together" - ok this is Eärendil and Elwing. Look I just have a lot of Feels about Eärendil choosing the fate of the elves for love, for Elwing's sake, despite feeling closer kinship to men. I just. I just can't see this as being about anything else

"What kind of flowers bloom in that paradise?" - I'm sorry this has a lot of very interesting vibes but my brain's just drawing a blank anyway

"What should I, in my weakness, loathe? Ah, now I finally know" - somehow this sounds very Garak. I think some kind of character study fic of Garak figuring out his feelings about, like, everything about living on DS9 but especially regarding a certain Doctor Julian Bashir...

"As we sing of the time of the cherry blossoms" - this has A Vibe, and makes me think of how cherry blossoms in japanese culture symbolize the briefness life, but again idk what characters or fandom it would be, sorry ':D

"The people who wandered in the dark" - makes me think of the dúnedain of the North for some reason. Maybe a fic set around the fall of the Arthedain, when the dúnedain of the north became rangers

"The fire of your soul that burned so red" - this has Merlin vibes somehow. Maybe a post-canon Merlin & immortal!Leon fic where Merlin never returns to Camelot after Arthur's death, but Leon finds him years later, still blaming himself for Arthur's death, barely a shadow of who he once was

"Dress me all in flowers white so no mortal eye can see" - this is a story about someone sacrificing themself. Idk why but it is. Maybe about Glorfindel during the Fall of Gondolin, fighting the balrog to save those who escaped the city. And maybe continuing on to his existence in the Halls of Mandos, afterwards. And maybe even onward to him returning to life and being tasked with going back to Middle-Earth.

"In blinded night we are singing a glorious cry for freedom" - somehow my first thought was pre-canon fic of Kira during her freedom fighter days

🔑 Key to your heart

📖 Fave book

📝 Fave quote

🌐 Languages you can speak and/or are learning. Which are you fluent in

🌐 German is my mother tongue

English very fluently since it is the one I've been speaking mainly for the last 12 years

I'm living in the Netherlands so I'm learning Dutch too after ignoring it for the first few years living here

🔑 showing interest in things I like

Being a child of my siblings is a fast pass 😄

📖 super hard to pick a favourite. Faves I read last year are the Six of Crows books. Lord of the Rings and His Dark Materials are always gonna be close to my heart. Neverending Story was my favourite as a kid.

📝 Lord of the Rings:

Frodo : What are we holding onto, Sam?

Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.

31. Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?

currently it's got to be zargothrax of gloryhammer fame. the more time i spent thinking about him the more complex he became in my brain so it's less my readers swaying it (although positive feedback on how i write him is my bread and butter) and more me rotating him until i got him just right

cucco feather and blond!! <3

blond (yellow) - you are many things, some good, some bad. but above all, you are kind.

cucco feather (off-white) - you're like poetry. sensitive, ethereal, underappreciated

💎why is writing important to you?

📡why is writing and sharing your writing important for fandom?

Oh, two questions, thank you! <3

💎why is writing important to you?

I just can't not write. There are so many many ideas in my head and I just need to get them out or else I won't be able to think of anything else for a long time. Sometimes it helps if I just write down notes to at least get the gist out (you don't want to see my private channel on discord or the amount of papers i have lying around)

📡why is writing and sharing your writing important for fandom?

Hmmm ... is it though? ^^" As in, if that "you" is in relation to me. I'm normally just writing for fandoms if someone says they wish to see a specific idea come to life and I vibe with that idea. If others also like it, all the better! Hence, since I only wish that one person who wanted it likes it, I don't think my personal writing is important for the fandom 😅

[procrastinatorproject]

I saw this post back when you first made it and it has stuck with me. I have been looking for it for a long time, but never found it again! So now, I'm saving it, because it actually inspired one of my many, many perpetual WIPs!

Tentative Title: By a Thread

Context: Rios wakes up in sickbay and is very out of it. He finds himself in the company of Emil and Enoch, and is currently trying to remember what happened to him, but not having much luck.

---

It didn’t help that there was a messy tangle of glinting metal and shockingly pink yarn draped across the ENHs lap.

“Whuzzzzat?” Rios tried to gesture towards the distracting sight, but once again, his arm failed him.

Enoch still interpreted his question correctly.

“Oh, this?” He lifted the mess gingerly. It separated into a loose ball of string and a bunch of metal needles holding something that, with a lot of imagination, might be considered a circle of knotted yarn. “Ian has been teaching me to knit,” the ENH explained enthusiastically, just as one of the needles slipped out of the construction and fell to the floor. Enoch’s face fell in sync with it. “Though I might have to start again. This is a lot harder than it looks.”

Rios blinked, unsure what he should think about this revelation. Mercifully, the EMH chose this moment to make his reappearance. “You know, you wouldn’t have this problem if you just downloaded a copy of Ian’s dedicated skill-library.”

“That would be cheating,” Enoch declared with conviction. “And incremental learning is a lot of fun. You should try it sometimes.”

The EMH fussily placed the bowl of ice chips he’d brought over on a trolley next to the biobed, then he straightened, shoving his hands into his pockets. “I think my patients would prefer if I downloaded surgical procedures ahead of time and in full, rather than incrementally learning them on the go.”

Enoch made a noise somewhere between a scoff and a laugh and threw his ball of yarn at the other hologram’s head. “It’s not the same and you know it!”

Headcanon time: Ian and Enoch like to knit because it works a little bit like navigation and engineering and they’re responsible for a few of Cris’s sweaters

They also decide to knit every crew member a sweater for good team spirit

Quote tiiiime :D

Let me fall, let the night tremble

It's time who guides us

Let me find my way home, feel alive again

Life goes by, towards time and space

Today, the memory of you is a bird, beating its wings against me

Without an ounce of fear

Hope seems like a summer's bird

oooo lemme see...

"Let me fall, let the night tremble" - hmm. This is kind of a hard one. Idk for some reason I'm getting Merlin vibes but no idea of the plot

"It's time who guides us" - I think this would be a Galadriel-centric fic, for some reason, following her growth from the rebellious young woman looking for a land of her own to rule, through the years of hardship and all the horrors she sees, into the woman we meet in LOTR

"Let me find my way home, feel alive again" - Elrond fic. Probably about going to the West, and all the reunions there, kind of a metaphorical idea of home as being with your loved ones, you know?

"Life goes by, towards time and space" - Old Garashir. Reflecting on their past, but at peace with it, just fluff and calm, you know?

"Today, the memory of you is a bird, beating its wings against me" - hmm. I mean it would be angsty as fuck, that's for certain. Maybe post-canon immortal Merlin fic, about him missing Lancelot?

"Without an ounce of fear" - I mean, this could apply to basically any of my fandoms. I think, bc I'm the asshole who likes angst too much :P that this would be some kind of a self-sacrifice/facing what looks like certain death type fic (though not necessarily actually ending in death), with the character consciously, fearlessly, making that choice, going forward into what they're certain will kill them

"Hope seems like a summer's bird" - ok this is a Julian at the internment camp fic. Trying and failing to hold onto hope that anyone would notice or come rescue him

Thanks for tagging me @radarsteddy :)

Get to know you game! Answer the questions and tag 9 people you want to know better.

Last song I listened to: "How would that feel" from the subspace rhapsody soundtrack (though I'm currently listening to the whole album on repeat again)

Currently reading: Killing the Beast by Evelenye Aschwanden. It's a sapphic the beauty and the beast adaption

Currently watching: mostly concentrating on my voyager rewatch and just started season 5 this evening!

Currently obsessed with: my new haircut xD I more or less spontaneously decided to get a pixie cut again, which I had 7-8 years ago before I grew it out again. I mostly had shoulder-length hair for the last years, but it was the best decision ever to cut it short again, I'm really happy and can't stop smiling when I look into the mirror
