1, 6 and 12. And for the making up my own question - is there a fic you’d love to see filmed (in this scenario we are assuming it’s totally possible that it can be etc)?

1. if you could hit any character without repercussions, who would it be? Ooooo. Nate Shelley needs a slap, or at least a good shake and a thorough talking-to. And I would like to give Thorin Oakenshield a slap for his utter disregard for the fate of the people of Lake-town after he woke the sodding dragon and sent it down upon their heads. 'I have the only right' yeah but consider the wider consequences before you go charging in there all full of your birthright, mate.

6. do you read fanfiction? If so, do you have any favorite authors or fics? I do, although not very much at the moment as I haven't the brainspace. @lemurious' works are beautiful and thought-provoking and often heartbreaking takes on the Silmarillion, @eldritchmage does some fantastic modern-day Bard/Thranduil omg, @writerman's Bard/Thranduil stuff is out of this world, @crushing83's Hobbit/Fast and Furious crossover (taking advantage of Luke Evans being in FF6) made me watch a FF movie, which is not my natural habitat, and I bloody love the story. @bigneonglitter's Ted Lasso stuff is effing amazing. Just a handful of people whose updates I will always click on regardless of brainspace there...

12. if you could change one ending to a book/show/game/etc, what would you change about it? ooooOOOOOOOO I would absolutely change the last episode of series 2 of the Alienist, which spent the whole two series building up John/Sara (Luke Evans' and Dakota Fanning's characters) and then wussed out at the last minute by having John's fiancee being 'in a delicate condition' aargh I was so cross I actually wrote a fix-it fic, which is something I'd never really done before in 20 years in fandom. I don't subscribe to the whole 'demonise the canon partner/spouse' thing, but they're so obviously wrong for each other and are going to make each other miserable (which seems to be the whole point and intention by the writers, just...what's wrong with letting both of them be happy, apart?), and if John and Sara only put in the work they'd be almost perfect together, and aaarghhh. So I shuffled the fiancee carefully and kindly off the scene (of her own volition, because she had realised that they were going to make each other miserable for the rest of their lives and decided she deserved better), and one of these days I'll write John going cap in hand to Sara and throwing himself upon her mercy. Thank fuck for fanfiction, basically.

bonus: is there a fic you’d love to see filmed? I would bloody love to see @eldritchmage's Season of Light and Shadow and her Pale Swan series filmed. And selfishly I would love to have a great long ridiculous TV series of my own My Heart Is An Empty Vessel-'verse, with the original cast from the films, plus Rosamund Pike as Thranduil's wife. I still haven't quite fantasy-cast Bard's wife but the lady who plays Rosie Cotton in LotR reminds me very much of her.

Thank you for asking! <333333 Anyone else want to ask me stuff about fandoms or ships? :D :D :D (there might be a delay in replying, I'm off out in a bit, back tomorrow sometime)
