A poignant 'Twilight' explores the LA riots

LOS ANGELES (News4usonline) – There were a couple of things that triggered the Los Angeles riots in 1992. You had a Black motorist getting the snot beat out of him by four white Los Angeles police officers after a routine traffic stop. This incident blew the already simmering tension between law enforcement and the Black community right out of the water. The beatdown of Rodney King at the hands of those sworn to serve and to protect generated outrage both nationally and globally as footage of that fateful night was caught on videotape.

Photo by Craig Schwartz Photography This was in 1991. Black people were angry. Folks were ready to tear things up then as the friction between the police and the Black community hit a low point. Adding to that inferno was the unjustified killing of a Black teenager by a local grocer over a bottle of orange juice in South Los Angeles only a couple of weeks after King found himself being pummeled by wildly swung batons wielded like Thor’s hammer. The murder of Latasha Harlins by Soon Ja Du and the fact she did not receive any jail time for shooting the teenager in the back of the head burned a hole in the relationship long forged between the Black and Korean communities. It was also a premeditated and contributing factor to the riots of 1992, an ugly upheaval that would cost Los Angeles more than $1 billion in property damage. With the city on edge and Los Angeles teetering on revolt, the acquittal of Timothy Wind, Sgt. Stacey Koon, Theodore Briseno, and Laurence Powell was the final straw to break the Black community’s back. Kindness would have to take a backseat to disgust. Rage was now the champion over humility. The official date or anniversary of the Los Angeles riots is April 29, 1992. The jury’s verdict of the four police officers sent Los Angeles to a point of almost no return. For those who can remember, the rioting became five days of mayhem, chaos, and utter destruction. Actor Anna Deavere Smith knows firsthand what that period was like. Drawing from more than 300 interviews, Smith first put together a one-woman show three decades ago about the unrest. Today, Smith is reliving her one-woman show in the form of a cast of five people in “Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992,” playing at the Mark Taper Forum through April 9 in downtown Los Angeles. “Being asked by Gordon Davidson to move through the embers of the Los Angeles uprising was a watershed moment in my life as an artist and as a human being,” Smith said. “The can do must do spirit of Gordon, the entire institution and the community, sparked something I had never experienced and have not experienced since. Center Theatre Group provided a way for me, in tandem with other drama professionals and with local intellectuals/activists, to respond to the civic disaster through theatre.”

Photo by Craig Schwartz Photography “Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992,” traces back to the pivotal moments that would eventually lead Los Angeles down the path of seeing individuals trying to burn the city down and create an atmosphere of criminality, including looting. Adding a layer of depth to the play that resonates deeply are the videos of the shooting of Harlins and the King episode that is played to the audience. The visual campaign of those two dramatic moments of American history serves as a stark reminder of what led to the riots in the first place. Both videos are raw and unflinching. Both hit hard like a Mike Tyson uppercut. The stage play, directed by Gregg T. Daniel, unabashedly hone in on the video beating of King and footage of young Harlins being killed. But the actors make all things go with stellar performances.   Hugh Armstrong, Lovensky Jean-Baptiste, Lisa Rene Pitts, Jeanne Sakata, and Sabrina Zuniga are dazzling on stage as they bring to life or re-create individuals who were major players in the upheaval.     Daniel praises Smith for bringing this project to life.      “This show is about such a consequential time in Los Angeles and Anna poured so much effort into making it a transformative, radical moment in theatre,” Daniel shared. “Her journalistic approach to writing revolutionized theatre when she wrote ‘Twilight,’ and I am honored to work alongside her to breathe new life into this historic and revered play.” The Center Theatre Group, which the Mark Taper Forum falls under, has held a plethora of community engagement activities to coincide with the playing of “Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992.” The next event is on April 4.

Hope is inseparable from despair. Those of us who truly hope to make despair a constant companion whom we out-wrestle every day owing to our commitment to justice, love, and hope.” In this culminating conversation, we return to the spirit and the body to assess how each of us can cultivate a fortitude that allows us to fight the good fight. Among artistic and civil rights giants, we ask how each and every one of us can discover our role in the movement toward liberation.

"Hmm" Beth allowed herself to show her annoyance once the man left. "I did not know you and Mr. Laurence were friends."

"Friends is a bit of a stretch, but I do cherish his company! We spend quite a good amount of our leisure time at The Conray's, so it was inevitable that we would grow close over drinks and games."

She scoffed and instantly felt guilty for disregarding William's comment. "I am sorry. I just... Don't find him to be very likeable..."

"Oh, don't you?" Will sighed, dismayed. "Why is that?"

"I don't know, Carrot, he... He is just a bit too pompous for my liking. And also, he is very loud and disruptive!" She said, knowingly exaggerating her impressions.

She needn't a reason to dislike him. She did not! It obviously had no relation to the fact that Mary's parents thought Mr. Laurence was suitable for their daughter. Obviously not. That reasoning was immature and Bethany Norman was anything but immatu--

"Loud and disruptive? Sounds a little like you sometimes." The young man chuckled and Beth couldn't help but laugh along.

"Enough about him." She declared. "Shall we ask to have our photograph taken? I'd like to have a physical memory of you and I!"

The request took William by surprise, leaving him overjoyed. A physical memory of you and I... He thought, and then wondered how wonderful would it be if all of his moments alongside that young woman could be photographed for him to keep.

WILLIAM: So, how are you enjoying it so far?

BETHANY: Oh, it is brilliant!! I feel like I just ran up a mountain. I’m overwhelmed with such thrill!

WILLIAM: I knew you’d love it!  

BETHANY: Ah, I forgot to ask you...  Was that your sister by the entrance?

WILLIAM: Ah, yes… That’s Winifred.  I apologize for her impolite behaviour when we arrived. Winnie is unhappy that our father made her work here. She’d much rather be by his side, at the meeting he is at. Now she is giving me the cold shoulder, as she usually does, as if it were my fault...  Don’t take it personally. It’s only a family dilemma.

BETHANY: Please, it’s quite alright. You act as though I don't have siblings of my own. <giggles>

WILLIAM: <chuckles> Siblings can definitely b--

TIMOTHY: Carrington!

WILLIAM: Laurence! It’s very nice to see you again! 

TIMOTHY: Very nice indeed! How do you do, my friend?

WILLIAM: I'm well, thank you. And you?

TIMOTHY: I suppose I can't complain. <chuckles> And for what reason have I not seen you at The Conrays anymore?! Are you worried about being disgraced in poker again? <laughs>

WILLIAM: <chuckles> Come now, that only happened once... My mind has been terribly occupied with school... But I ought to stop by after my exams.

TIMOTHY: Ah, very well, then! You must! Let us schedule a game before the end of the month, yes? I’ll be leaving in July.

WILLIAM: Are you? Where to?

TIMOTHY: Oh, just… Normouth for a family holiday.  And, umm. Actually I haven’t publicly announced it yet but… Blimey! Where on Earth are my manners?! Forgive me, miss, I had no intention to disregard your presence! 

BETHANY: <chuckles> Oh, no, that's quite alright.

TIMOTHY: It’s lovely to meet you, I’m Timothy Laurence!

BETHANY: Oh my… But we have already met before.

TIMOTHY: Have we, now?

BETHANY: We attended the same school for a while… I’m… Friends with Mary McNeill? And Su--

TIMOTHY: Of course! Of course you are. Miss Norman, is it? Golly, now I’m just being a complete fool. Forgive me. *Ahem* Carrington. Great exhibition, I’m adoring it all so far. I might speak to your father later about purchasing one of the Kodak’s. But I’ll leave you to your chuckadoo for now.

WILLIAM: It was great seeing you again. In case we don’t meet in time, I wish you a good holiday!

TIMOTHY: Thank you, my friend. I sure will need all the good wishes.

[x] Knows mixed fighting styles, can mostly hold his own as long as he's sober. [x] Moderately skilled with small to medium firearms. [/LIST][b]Personality:[/b][LIST]First and foremost, Elijah is a bit of an old fashioned gentleman. He’s the type that will hold a door open for a lady, say his pleases and thank yous and pull a chair out for a woman at the dining table, and more. He believes that a man should never raise a hand to a woman, and if they do, then that woman is entiled to react as she sees fit, it’s the same if a woman is being verbally abused by a male. Elijah also believes that a person should never walk into another person’s home without the proper invitation; and if they do, well he’ll happily escort them to the door. There’s pleanty of general conduct rules that he’s broken and discarded over ther years, but those are the ones that have stuck close to Elijahs heart. There’s some lines that he’ll cross with his own little code, but that’s mostly if it is mainly saving his own hide.

Elijah by nature isn’t a violent man, he doesn’t go out of his way to start a fight – either verbal or physical- he will be the first to put someone in their place when they try and draw him into violence. It’s only a curtasy to give them the option to back out without having to get violent.  The only time he has openly shown his violent and angry size is when he’s had a bit too much to drink and the other person had pissed him off for some reason or another. He generally learns after that…for a week or so before he’ll do it all over again and go right back to square one.  He doesn’t take crap from people, if they want to take an issue with him, that is all find and dandy, but he won’t put up with them trying to sneak up on him when his guard is down to try and kill him.  

One of his other major faults is that he’s a little closed off with his more truer emotions and his agenda. He’s protective, though he may not show it in the most reliable sense of the word and he’s caring, even if at times it doesn’t really feel or look like it.  He’s tolerant enough that he’ll put up with a lot of crap for people and he’s accepting of a lot of faults that people seem to need to express.  He’ll help someone out, but he won’t continuously hold their hand or wipe away their tears because after a while even his patience will wear thin. It’s safe to say nderneath the bad ass calm exteria of Elijah Hobbs is a little bark and a little bite.

If someone was to go at someone close to Eli, he would bring down hell onto someone’s head with the vengeful streak he keeps hidden for everyone’s sake. In a way he’s a bit of a masochist in that respect, he’s left pleanty of people alive that he should’ve killed but didn’t, and he expects them to come after him one day but until then, he’s happy to keep things nice and civil. Generally, he’s quick to take action in a no nonsence kind of way, rather than letting things fester and wait on him to get to them. It is only after the fact that he’ll actually sit back and ask questions, and by then sometimes it’s just too late to do anything about it so he doesn’t let it get to him.

Elijah is loyal to those that have earned it. While he may think that he can do things on his own like some cowboy straight out of the wild west, he sure as hell can’t, and if someone can put up with him for long enough, he’ll show the same loyalty and respect that they showed him; even if he has to play by someone elses rules, he’d still show it. He may moan about it a little, but he’d still respect their choices and decisions. Old grudges have come and bitten him in the rear before, while he has a few, he won’t activly act on them and make them some big over blown issue that he must combat. He’d rather just deal with that quietly and move on. Should someone bring a grudge to him, well, there’s only two ways that could end. Peaceful or in pine boxes.

[/LIST][b]History:[/b][LIST]Back in May of ’68, newlywed couple Eleanor and Leonard Hobbs moved into their new apartment in downtown Memphis, with their first child, Elijah. From the moment the boy could walk, he was always getting into some kind of trouble, either with his parents or with the neighbours that shared the apartment block with his family. He got into everything he should not have, despite his mother’s best attempts to keep the youngster out of trouble; it took his father taking his belt to Eli’s hide to settle finally the tiny tear away down. The transformation from midget monster to a little angel was almost instantaneous, much to Eleanor’s disapproval; though far be it from her to dictate what a father should teach his son. When he was five years old, Elijah’s little world started to fold inwards when Eleanor came home from the hospital with a daughter. His baby sister, Abigail. If anything, it was Abby that helped him grow up a little more, and over the next few years he was the token big brother that did everything he could for the little one, from helping his mother change her diapers, to picking her up when she fell down, and one time, making the tyke giggle madly when he accidently walked into a wall when helping his mom bringing in the groceries. It was a pretty typical child hood really in most respects, full of up's and down's, but that was not something that Ma Hobbs let disrupt them too much, not even when Leonard who'd had a little too much to drink and threatened her or the kids.

One constant in Elijah’s life was Cooper Bennett, his best friend. Their father’s worked together, they lived in the same building, and they went to the same school when they did not take it on themselves to flaunt their free will and skip out of school. It was as if Cooper was a brother in all but blood, even his ma, Eleanor called him son and offered him a place on the couch when Jameson got too rowdy and Coop’s mother sent the boy up so he would not fall prey to a drunken man’s rage. While Coop may’ve been his best friend and brother, it did not stop Elijah from breaking the other teenager’s nose when he discovered that he had been coaxing Abby to rob and cuss. The fight over that broke out at school, both teenagers barely scraping thirteen at the time did not really figure out their own strength, Coop ended with a broken nose and Eli ended with a black eye as well as a split lip. They had been held back late by the principal and when Eleanor came to pick them both up; she chewed them both out for being idiots. It was on the way drive home that things went from bad to worse. He started to feel odd, sick, and after asking his mom to pull over, Eli scrambled and ended throwing up his cookies. It was Coop that noticed the sparks at first. Then Eli did, they flickered around his fingers before fizzling and dying completely when Eleanor called him in. He didn’t pay it any attention, thinking that it was a figment of his imagination or just exhaustion.

Over the next two years, things started to go south. Misfortune ended up on the Hobbs' doorstep. Elijah's mom went back home one summer to Meadowbrook, Kentucky to visit her kin and decided that she wasn't coming back. She was sick of Leonard beating on her when he got angry, disappointed in his job, or had too much to drink, so they’d been told over the telephone by a great aunt. Leonard was angry when he heard the rage that descended on him was volatile and the first target that crossed his path was Abigail. Eli managed to get between the two of them and took the brunt of it. He wasn’t a stranger to a whooping from his daddy but this was different, some part of him knew that if Leonard didn’t stop that he would die in the living room and it was that that spurred something in him to act. Elijah reached out and grabbed Leonard’s leg as the elder Hobbs kicked and flailed. The electricity shot from Eli’s hand into his daddy, throwing the other male across the room. The last thing Eli saw was Abby and Coop running in hoping to save the day from something. When Elijah came around, he was in hospital. At the foot of his bed Leonard and Eleanor ranted and raved while Coop and Abby stayed off to the side. It took them a full ten minutes to realize he was awake and listening in, and within the week when he was fit to be moved, the car was packed and Eleanor, Abigail, Elijah and Cooper – after getting permission from his parents - were on the way to Kentucky for a vacation. Leonard, staying in Memphis to finish up things with work and stuff like that. Elijah knew what was really happening, even if his mother didn’t want to talk about it. His parents had decided a divorce was in order.

Life in Meadowbrook was quiet, peaceful and just what they needed. However for Elijah, things started to get complicated. When he was angry or confused, things happened. Electrical appliances would suddenly fry themselves or the lights in the house would flicker and then die. He put it off for a long as he could, then one day just walking through the woods, Elijah let all his pent up rage and feelings out that he’d stored over the years. The blast that he threw out cracked this big old tree right down the centre. Shocked and left stunned, he tried to recall the feeling, but rather than repeating what had happened, he was left staring at the smouldering tree like a kid outside a candy store with no money in his pocket. Over the next few days he returned to the same spot, afternoon after afternoon he tried to recreate the feeling. He managed to spark up, just a little snap crackle and pop but the feeling died.

That's when he met a man named Messer.

On the way home he found the man tangled in a patch of scrub, looking like he’d gone a round with a meat tenderizer and come out swinging. At first Messer tried to push Eli away but the stubborn kid hung about and – while he was curious about the weapons and the general state of the other male – managed to haul the grizzled old hunter up and drag his hide back to his truck. Now Eli knew that he could’ve been walking into anything when he’d decided to help, but he couldn’t just leave the guy out in the wilds and Messer had demanded that if he was going to help that he couldn’t take him back to Eli’s home in case something followed; ‘something’ Eli had known would follow them. Following the mumbled directions Eli to drive them to Harrods Creek in neighbouring Louisville. Messer bounced in and out of consciousness on the way back, but it was Eli that was in for a shock when he pulled up outside of the house that the hunter had directed him to. He got out of the truck only to face the business end of a twelve gauge shotgun and a hunting rifle.

As he no doubt, looked suspicious, covered in Messer’s blood and grime, he didn’t blame the other hunters for taking the precaution even if it hurt like hell at the time to get coldcocked, tied up, gagged and left for God and providence in a back room of the house the hunters had taken over. Tanner as he’d later introduced himself, was the reasonable one next to Messer himself, it was Samuel that thought Eli was a spy and took great delight in telling Eli that he was going to be chopped up into little pieces and fed to gators if Messer didn’t survive the night. Thankfully the old coot did, and that morning Eli was released with a down right civil apology from Messer and Tanner, though some coaxing was needed for Samuel. Since he’d done the hunter’s a favour – so they said – Eli got Tanner to call his momma and explain as to why he’d been away all night; in the nicest way possible and without the mention of guns and blood. After a quick conversation with his momma, Eli decided that he’d stick around a few days to make sure that Messer was ok; the icy feeling in his stomach warning him about something.

The night he was due to go home, things went crazy. The small group of lycanthropes that the hunters had been tracking for months and the ones that had thought they’d taken out Messer, had followed them back to Harrods Creek. First Samuel was the first to go down under the biggest black feline that Eli had ever seen in the initial first few minutes and dragged off screaming. Tanner and Eli had no choice but to fall back into the house as the weretigers taunted them, demanding that Messer come out in return for Samuel. Both hunters turned down the offer and that only served to enrage the felines all the more. The second attempted assault came in the early hours of the morning; Tanner blew the hybrid werefeline away like he was nothing. Another came a few hours later, this time from the front, Messer took that one down despite his condition. Then the rest came. There were three in total, two alphas and a feral omega. Messer clipped the omega with a silver bullet to the brain before one of the hybridized were’s threw him through a wall, Tanner was clawed up pretty badly in the fight but in the end it was just a teenager against two monsters.

That feeling he’d had days before when he’d cut through that tree like butter, chose to come back, and rather than rage and anger, it fed on the pain and the fear brought about by his current predicament. Rather than question it, Eli tackled one of the monster felines and threw all he could at it. The cat gave an almighty roaring sound before simply falling limp, smoke curling from the body; the other one that had been about to pull Eli off, thought better on it and bolted. That was the last thing he knew until he came back to consciousness three days later with Tanner trying to get him to count how many fingers he was holding up. On one hand he was glad that Tanner had survived what had happened to him, but he didn’t like the tension that hung in the air. Rather than beating around the bush, Elijah flat out asked what their problems where, and rather than lead him around in the dark by his junk, they answered. Tanner had survived but he was no longer human; and apparently Elijah wasn’t exactly human himself. Messer explained that while he was human, he had a gift. At first Eli hadn’t wanted to believe it, but Tanner backed up Messer. They were so serious, and Elijah – rather than fight with himself any longer – accepted it and told them when he’d really noticed things had been different.

“If you’ve been sparking for year’s kid, you’re lucky to be alive.”

He took that to heart since it was the last words he heard from Tanner, the following morning the fresh lycanthrope was gone and Messer would glare furiously whenever either of his two friends where mentioned. When the old hunter dragged Eli back to his mother, he was told that there would be words. Messer took Eleanor aside and after a brief reunion with Cooper and Abigail, Elijah was told to pack a bag and make sure he got everything he wanted because he was going away with Messer to learn. Eleanor tried to put a brave face on it, but when she tugged him aside his momma broke into tears and clung to him. The last thing he heard from her was that had a God given gift and he needed to put it to use with Messer. Before things got really messy, the old hunter steered sixteen year old Elijah away from his only family and spirited him away into a world full of monsters that most people would never know existed outside of the story books.

For seven years and half years he travelled all over with the hunter, learning things like how to track lycanthropes and pick up a vampire’s trail; in-between learning how to harness his powers. It wasn’t easy at all, they didn’t get paid for what they did but they did get a sense of satisfaction that they’d removed something dangerous. The few times that they did get paid it was with a warm bed, a bath and a hot meal. A very simple life really, and one that Elijah was actually quiet fond of. He met other hunters and all kinds of people that lived quite comfortable in the supernatural world. One of them was Aries De Luca, barely out of his teens. It was a seer down in New Orleans that told twenty three year old Elijah that his momma had passed on, and that his old life had turned to darkness. He didn’t question it in the end, he went back to the one person he hadn’t seen since God knows how long. His daddy. Since Messer didn’t want to come with him, they parted ways after a beer.

He tracked Leonard down to Florida; Elijah supposed that the old timer was living it big in a sunny city for shady people. Leonard was nothing like Elijah remembered, a bitter old man that hated the world and himself for losing his family. Elijah himself had to bribe him with a bottle of bourbon to find out what happened to Eleanor and was shocked to find out that she’d passed on in a car accident. He asked about Cooper and found out that his best friend and brother had run off to join some kind of Religious cult in Mexico and he asked about Abigail. Something must’ve snapped in the old man because he came up swinging and clocked Elijah straight in the face before ranting about how Abby had moved on and moved in with some hot shot Englishman. Elijah found that very hard to believe at first, his sister was only eighteen and it made no sense, but when he saw it for himself, and the Lawrence fellow that Abby had taken a shine to grated on his last nerve from the moment that they shook hands.

Rather than move on, Elijah stuck around Miami for a year as he made sure that Lawrence wasn’t using his sister for some sick and twisted game, but when they announced that they were getting married and moving, Elijah put his foot down. If anything, he just wanted to reconnect with his sister but he only succeeded on pushing her away more. The saddest thing is, she left on his twenty fifth birthday, and rather than tell him, left a letter with Leonard that he didn’t even get until eight months after the fact when it was too late. His bitterness drove him on a weeklong bender, he would move from one bar to another, pick up a woman here and there, but it was Messer that dragged him back from the abyss. The other hunter had been passing through Miami when he’d caught sight of Eli staggering out of one of the bars and after a day of intense sobering, Elijah finally confessed what had driven him to the edge. Messer didn’t take any pity on him, in fact the older hunter told him to suck it up and move on before kicking him out of his motel room.

It was on the way home that he was run into by two gentlemen that seemed to be on a mission. Again that pesky gut instinct kicked in, and rather than letting them go on their way, Elijah followed them out of the city and smack bang into the lap of a fey. The gentlemen he’d been following had attacked her, and jumping to her defence too late, he managed to attract her attention, only he didn’t move fast enough to get out of the way. Elijah didn’t know what hit him, one moment he was trying to get the hell out of there and the next thing he knew everything was lit up with a bright white/gold light, and then there was nothing. He was left in utter blackness, blind. Rather than finish him off, the young woman demanded to know what he was doing, why he was there; she practically chewed him a new rear before she allowed himself to explain fully. That’s when the mistake came to light, no pun intended. Brigetta, as she called herself, apologized and Elijah accepted gracefully. However, rather than stumbling about with no idea what was around him, he let Brigetta be his eyes for a month.

When his sight came back, he found Brigetta gone. Rather than mourning her – and in his own way he did, don’t get him wrong – Eli carried on as usual until one day a few months later he found out that Abigail was pregnant and expecting her first. Together with Leonard, both Hobbs men got on a plane and made the long and tiring journey to the UK within weeks of the news. Leonard was happy, Elijah not so much. He [i]really[/i] didn’t like Lawrence. Rather than complain kick up a fuss, Elijah soon left taking Leonard back with him to the States despite the old man’s complaints that he wanted to stay with his daughter. He dropped Leonard back off in Miami before driving down to Meadowbrook to pay his respects to his momma and tell her everything that had happened since he saw her. It didn’t feel weird talking to a grave marker, and it didn’t really give Elijah any closure but it felt like something he needed to do so he could move on.

He didn’t see his sister for another year, rather than go over to the UK to visit the Mitchell’s came to him in Memphis of all places. He met his nephew Fane for the first time, cute as a button and loud as he was! The next time he saw them Fane was about three years old and he’d been on a pretty nasty hunt involving a snake calling vampire master in Canada. He showed Fane a ‘magic trick’ and sparked up for him, nothing harmful, just hell’a flashy. When Fane hit five and a half, that’s when things got heated. After a particular stressful hunt, Elijah and Lawrence got into an argument that left the electrobug fuming. In thirty two years he’d never unleashed his powers near his family, but Lawrence’s car was the best target outside of the man himself. He made the car explode before realizing what he’d done, by then it was too late, Abby didn’t want him near her or Fane. Rather than stick around where he wasn’t welcome, Elijah returned to the states after taking a small three month detour to Brazil when he heard Coop was in trouble with a woman of some sort, and then gotten his behind thrown in jail again.

When he hit the big four oh, Elijah took a look at his life and saw where he’d gone wrong. While he didn’t regret what he’d done and the choices he’d made, it did hit him kind of hard. He had next to nothing in his life. It was only in November of two thousand and eleven that he decided something needed to change and that he needed a fresh start. After relocating to England in December twenty eleven, and hanging up his holsters, Elijah’s kept his head down the last few months when it came to the supernatural and even opened a small carpentry shop in a quaint little city called Jackford. While it has been over fifteen years since he saw Fane and Abby, longer still since he's seen Cooper or his daddy or even Messer himself. Though he still thinks about them now and again.

I love men who seem like their only personality trait is loving their wife

Sir Tim Laurence arriving at Southmead Hospital to visit Princess Anne, on 25 June 2024.

[askshivanulegacy]

Get to know me tag thing!

1. Dogs or Cats? Dogs FTW! Though I could maybe have a cat one day, depending.

2. YouTube celebrities or normal celebrities? I’m not sure YouTube celebrities count as celebrities, haha. And I certainly couldn’t name a single one, so normal celebrities it is. I have a hard enough time naming those. :P

3. If you could live anywhere where would that be? UGH it depends on the day and how I��m feeling, honestly. I live for the wide-open countryside, but I love the mountains and the forest, and I would love some small, historic old town where I could walk everywhere on cobblestone streets. It’s easier for me to say where I don’t want to live than where I do!

4. Disney or DreamWorks?  Disney (especially now that it has Marvel and Star Wars), but honestly DreamWorks has some real gems.

5. Favourite childhood TV show? MY LITTLE PONY. Especially those old movies and that original 80s character style??? A+++ the new My Little Pony honestly failed hard in the style department (didn’t stop me from getting a stupid amount of the toys tho because they were so cute). :’D Then there was X-men and Spiderman, and later on Pokemon, Digimon, and Yugioh. ♥

6. The movie you’re looking forward to most in 2020?

I’m a sap for movies, I love them. so RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON, probably on the top of my list next to whatever Star Wars is coming out then. Mulan, Artemis Fowl, Dolittle!! (omg that takes me back so hard) And probably some others I can’t remember.

7. Favorite book you read in 2019? I did not read a book this year. :sob: But there was some excellent fanfiction, some very excellent webcomics, and some very very excellent RPing <_<. Oh, there was a kids book, The Tea Dragon Society, which is super cute, highly recommend. Maybe next year I’ll get through my stash of backlogs. >_>

8. Marvel or DC? Marvel for movies, ANYTHING ELSE for comics.  Tho the Wonder Woman and Superman movies have been super epic too, hmm.  Anyway, I cannot stand these superhero comics, they’re convoluted and incoherent (and generic) as heck.  You can find so much better stories and artwork elsewhere.

9. If you choose Marvel favorite member of the X-Men? If you choose DC favourite Justice League member? G A M B I T

10. Night or Day? Day, except for the part where I work during it, and so most of my worthwhile activities get done at night. XD

11. Favourite Pokemon?  MEWTWO

12. Top 5 bands/artists:

Uhhh, there are a few country bands I actually like enough of their songs to recognize, except none of the names are coming to me OH WELL.  Celtic Woman, that’s one artist for you.  And Rockapella!  That’s it, all I got.  I just don’t pay attention to names.  XD

13. Top 10 books.

OK HERE WE GO have I got the books 4U:

The entire Star Wars X-Wing series.

The entire Star Wars Mandalorian series.

The Wolfwalker series by Tara K. Harper ( @dingoat <_< )

Dragon of the Lost Sea series by Laurence Yep

Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher by Bruce Coville

Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce

The Pit Dragon Chronicles by Jane Yolen

All the Pern books by Anne McCaffrey

The Dinotopia books by James Gurney

The Belgariad series by David Eddings (loved all his stuff honestly)

A lot of those I read long, loooong ago so maybe I would have different opinions now if I re-read them.  But boy did they influence me A LOT growing up.

14. Top 4 movies

STAR WARS especially Rogue One :sob:, How to Train Your Dragon, Sherlock Holmes (the recent movies), The Man from UNCLE (also the recent movie).  This list will change by the hour. 8)

15. America or Europe?  Europe.  I live in America and it’s comfy and all, but really Europe has all the cool places going for it, AND ALSO public transportation, get your act together America.

16. Tumblr or Twitter?  Tumblr FTW.  I will never understand the point of Twitter, tho Blakk does have a Twitter account that he rarely uses. 8)

17. Pro-choice or Pro-life?  What a great polarizing question for such an innocent Q&A meme; gotta wonder what the author was thinking. 8)  I’m pro-you-can-have-whatever-opinion-you-want-as-long-as-you-don’t-inflict-it-on-other-people because it’s not your f*ing business to run their lives, pro-this-isn’t-worthy-of-becoming-law, pro-act-responsibly-in-the-first-place-and-use-birth-control, and, failing that because people sure as hell like to manufacture fake issues, pro-choice.  Because just imagine thinking you get to determine what someone else gets to suffer (and literally pay for, $$$) for 9 months and then force them through the horrific physical ordeal of birthing a baby when they just. don’t. want. to.  I mean, you might as well decide someone should just take an axe and cut off their own arm just because you want them to; it really amounts to the same thing.  :/  (Please note, wanting to have a baby and being forced are two entirely different things. It’s an ordeal, regardless, and not something to approach unwillingly.)

18. Favorite YouTuber? No one, don’t care enough to remember usernames. XD

19. Favorite author ? I’m so bad with remembering names, but here are some I do, so they must be worth something: Timothy Zahn, Mike Stackpole, Kevin J. Anderson, and also the above listed authors, half of which I had to Google. 8)

Also ME, because I know I write well and I love the stuff I write!

Honestly also everyone I RP with (past and present) because yeah there’s a reason I’m addicted to this hobby. ♥

20. Tea or Coffee?  I mean.  Coffee, ok??  But like, also.  TARO MILK TEA and a hundred other teas especially with cream and sugar, and the concept of High Tea is amazing.  ... That’s mostly the snacks, BUT STILL.

21. OTP ?  Blakk/Saare (old ship, many of you probably haven’t seen it, but it’s also my canon ship).  Blakk also ships stupidly well with several other OCs ... you know who you are ... and also how much I wish they could also be canon ...

22. Do you play an instrument/sing ?  Piano!  At least I could, before we moved around 6th grade and I gave it up.  But it was the one extracurricular activity I stuck with for a number of years.  I’m sure I’m ridiculously rusty.  Probably I can still read the music. 8)  I can sing (mainly in the car), but it doesn’t mean I should.  XDD

Tagged By: @dingoat, thank you!!! ♥♥♥

Tagging:  @kaosstar, @princess-triton, @theanaideialegacy, @starrealis, @lhunuial, @empire-at-war, @ you!  (I’ve been pretty awol lately in terms of interacting a ton online so I’m not sure who’s still around, haha!)
