June 7th – Warriors

On June 6th 1944 the Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy the start of a pivotal attack that was pivotal in ending World War II. Every story has monumental battles and warriors who fight for what they believe in and that’s what this week is all about.

What is the most pivotal fictional battle you can think of?

The Battle of the Pelennor Fields and the Battle of the Morannon from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. These are pivotal battles not because of their splendor on screen or in the books, but because of all the little things at play which turn the tide, most notably Frodo making it to Mount Doom where the ring is destroyed and Éowyn disguising herself as a man and killing Witch-King of Angmar.

Who is your favourite warrior?

Katniss Everdeen – I am rereading the Hunger Games trilogy, so she is fresh on my mind, but she has always been my favorite warrior type character ever since the books came out! She’s resourceful, smart, is badass with a bow, and has heart. As I said in my last post, I’ve held onto my Mockingjay necklace & pin all these years and still wear them! 

Runners up include Juliana Crain and Bell Mallory!

Is there a fictional warrior caste do you admire?

The Minbari warrior caste from Babylon 5. What’s there not to love about spikes and black leather? 😉 On a serious note, I’ve always admired their stoic appearances and ability to get the upper hand. They don’t mask who they are under false pretenses. 

The same goes for the Jem’Hadar from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. 

What is your favourite quote about battles?
 WAR IS PEACE
 FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
 IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
 ― George Orwell
If you could join a fictional fighting organisation what would it be?

Does the Psi Corps count? Because obviously I pick the Psi Corps, ha ha! Okay, okay, I’ll pick a fighting organization. I have to go with The Jedi Order. This dates back to when I was a child. I wanted to be Luke Skywalker so bad that I begged my dad for a “light sword,” and he made me one out of thick pieces of cardboard. I think I was the happiest 5 year old on the planet when he gave it to me!

I’ve always been fascinated by their powers, robes, and, of course, light sabers. 

You’re able to learn one battle ability or spell for a day; what would it be?

Hands down, the ability to cast a Dragon Slave like Lina Inverse!

Saving the world with High Castle and Field Team 6

Tuesday I had the awesome pleasure of joining the Axis of Good (Joel de la Fuente, Rufus Sewell, Chelah Horsdal, Stephen Root, Jason O’Mara, Frances Turner, Michael Gaston, Sebastian Roché, and Isa Hacket) with Field Team 6 for an evening of textbanking.  Let me tell you about the absolute blast I had! I didn’t know what to expect–was I nervous going in? You bet I was! I am probably the shyest person you’ll ever meet…until you get to know me, that is!  The week started off with absolute chaos, as 2020 weeks often do. I spent that day doing a bunch of house projects which involved a lot of nit and grit. I scrambled to get my laptop ready in time without bothering to fix my hair and without any attempt at looking presentable. Normally fans are muted and shuffled to the back of these things. Well….I clicked the link and HELLO WORLD! Hello Joel in particular because I know you saw me fumbling around and flustered! 😉  After a minute or so, I managed to turn my...

Not So Lazy Sunday

Last weekend was extremely cold, and this weekend was absolutely perfect! The weather is busy trying to make up its mind, I suppose. I took advantage of the wonderful temperatures! I got a lot done and finished something I’ve been working on for a couple of weeks. Here is a preview of my miniature Bester plushie! (I plan to do a longer post about him later on this month). That’s my cell phone with him to give you a baseline as to how small he is. We started our first garden today! It’s small because we are just starting out. I’m hoping I have some of that green thumb my father and grandmother have. They are masters of growing things and always have awesome gardens. The plants without flowers are various peppers and one strawberry plant (I have no idea if strawberries will grow in this climate, but they are too delicious not to find out).

SGS: Creativity!

Looking at Heather’s wonderful prompts, I just realized that April is almost over. Is it really the last Sunday of the month already!? How did that happen? Even with quarantine it feels like it just zipped by!  This week’s Seriously Geeky Sundays theme hits close to home, and I am super excited about it. As you all know, I’m an artist who loves to draw, paint, write, and sew!  26th April – Creativity What does creativity in fandoms/geeky interests mean to you? EVERYTHING. Just look at Club High Castle!  High Castle is the one fandom where I’ve felt like I’ve been allowed to flourish. The countless hours and dedication I’ve put into the things I’ve created has been appreciated by both fans and the cast and crew. I have never experienced anything like it, and it has genuinely made me happy over the years.  I’ve been in other fandoms where art and things just slipped by unnoticed–not that I’m seeking attention, but knowing that there are people out there who enjoy my...
