Mother of Dragons

If you could pick any fictional animal to be your lifelong companion (like a Pokémon or fantasy pet), what would it be?

At first I thought: Dragons!
But then I remembered Guards! Guards! and decided, maybe no dragons.

Then I thought: Unicorns!
But where to put the poor thing? And what do unicorns eat?

Then I thought: Phoenix!
Only which one? Ancient Greek? Or the Septology we dare not name? What if it burns when I’m not there? Problems.

Finally, I decided I’ll stick to cats since they’re quite magical already. After all, “In ancient times, cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.”- Sir Terry Pratchett

Let me see…

If you had to switch lives with a fictional character for a week, who would you choose?

Do I get to break containment and explore the fictional world they’re in? Because that changes everything…

Pull the lever, Kronk!

Have you ever liked a villain more than the hero? Who and why?

1. Yzma had every right to be upset. She literally ran the empire, and she practically raised the boy, only for the brat to pink-slip her without a warning. 100% understandable crash out.

2. Ursula was very upfront about the “poor unfortunate souls” situation. There was a song. Conversations were had. Miss Princess was literally told.

3. Maleficent was very ready to forgive and forget. Then King Stephen & Co. had to go and be disrespectful. Naturally, everyone got hexed. Zero surprise there.

Finally, all three powerful ladies are excellent Mages in their own right. They also have a wicked sense of humour, and each one has impeccable style.

I will take no further questions on this matter.

Stately, plump

What’s the longest book you’ve ever read?

… Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed.

I read it. I shall not do that again.
