I'll go be productive later.

For the moment, I love this thing too much and just can't help it.

Ask any of my puppets a question in comments and they will answer you, in character. Crack ensues. It's fun. For an example, more or less, of how this works, see this post.

That's really all I've got. Other than my raging desire to know what the font iconzicons uses is. I like that font, guys. I NEEEEED TO KNOW also my family's immigration heritage. This could be hard, seeing as my family is currently not around to be talked with.

Disturbingly apathetic? Maybe just a little.

Elves are sparkly.

Well, it's not Desdemona or Princeton LET. Is there an option to invert text to an outline like that in photoshop?

OBERYN MARTELL! Why did you have to go die? You were such a fantastic sexy bad-ass and now I haven't been able to read the next chapter because I'm too PISSED OFF at Gregor Clegane. And also at you a little for getting yourself killed.

SANDOR! If you could adopt one Teddy Scare, which would you pick? ENQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.

I always find this question rather strange, as it was not, precisely, intentional. As surprising as it may seem, I was rather fond of my life, and had no immediate plan to lose it.

It was a minor miscalculation, unfortunately. Though I'm glad that I ensured that Clegane would get his comeuppance. But it is utterly unreasonable, lady, to be angry at me for my own death. I had every reason to believe I would win. Namely because, as you put it, I am "a fantastic sexy bad-ass."

Thank you, by the way. I'd like to know how my daughters are doing?

[grey_gazania]

I'm not sure any miscalculation that ends with you dead can really be called "minor".

Unfortunately I don't actually know how your daughters are, because as I said, I haven't read the next chapter yet. I look forward to meeting them, however. They sound like very talented and interesting young women.

Also, props to you for not being a misogynistic douche-bag, unlike most of the other men in Westeros. BASICALLY I THINK YOU'RE AWESOME.

[redviperofdorne.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm all right now, aren't I? So it is fairly minor, yes? Therefore. Logic, my lady.

And of course they are! If I do say so myself. They all have their talents, and I am very proud of them. And sure that they're not going to let that little accident go over well. I didn't raise them for nothing.

Well, thank you, though I think that was rather a backhanded compliment. But I can appreciate that it isn't saying very much. Come to Dorne; we let women inherit, you know.

...you again.

If I answer your question, will you bugger off? Sheldon Grogg, I think. I'm not really big on teddy bears, though. Even ones that are supposed to be 'scary.' If you think that's scary, I hope you don't leave your house often.

...also you now have put the picture of me sleeping curled up with a teddy bear in this girl's head. This is not a good thing, before you ask.

[grey_gazania]

Like a bad penny! XD

Hey, I never said they were scary; that's just what they're called. Personally I think they're pretty cute. Though I'll admit I'm a little surprised by your answer. <<

...actually, the idea of you curled up with that teddy bear is adorable. And rather funny. Even if you'd probably prefer a Sansa bear.

Hmmm who have I not talked to yet... ooh! Nerdanel! (Is she new?) How did you first meet Feanor, and was he a prat when you did?

fresh on the roster

[ma-feanorian.livejournal.com]

My father introduced us, actually - I'm not entirely sure why he thought it was a good idea, given that I was known at that point for being as stubborn, he said, as any son he'd ever imagined - rather backhanded compliment, that - and Feanaro was already known for his temper. And--well, I don't know that I would exactly say prat.

It is poor etiquette to speak ill of the dead, after all.

We had our glorious days and our rough days, all through courtship and marriage, but the glorious ones were more than worth the rough. Does that answer your question sufficiently?

Re: fresh on the roster

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

Not quite, it's one thing to meet somebody and quite another to marry them.

Did he ever consult with you when he was making the Silmarils?

Do you wish he hadn't made them?

Do you wish you'd gone with him and your sons?

[ma-feanorian.livejournal.com]

I wandered a little, I suppose. It has been a while.

No, yes, and no. He never consulted with me on anything he was making, because he never liked me - or anyone - to see things that were unfinished. That would be his perfectionism, I suppose. It might not be exactly right if it wasn't finished, and so.

He hardly even talked about the Silmarils while he was making them. I think it's almost a superstition - I'm the same way about something I'm sculpting I think might be good. Talking about it jinxes the process, somehow. At any rate, I never thought much of his reticence on that front. I knew he was making something he meant to be great, and that he would show me when he was ready.

Of course, after the fact, it is easy to say that yes, I wish he hadn't made them, because if he had not, and so on. At the time even, a little, perhaps. When he became so completely obsessed with making them, I was as jealous as if they were a rival for him, which I suppose they were. And it seems that he may have turned out to care for them more than me. But forgive me; it is past time for such bitterness, yes?

No. I said then that I would not go, and I still stand by that. I mourn my sons and him, but I would not have gone, and nothing that has happened since has changed my mind. I didn't believe that he was right then and I certainly do not now. No matter how much I loved - and love - him, he is still wrong.

And today we continue bothering Felix. Because we can.

1. Any idea why on the rare occasion you come into contact with teenagers they just kind of latch onto you and don't let go? And for that matter, why do you let them?

2. Which aspect of aging is scarier--male pattern baldness or erectile dysfunction?

[skewedeyes.livejournal.com]

Your questions are getting better. Thank you.

1. Your question has one inherent flaw. You assume that I 'let' them latch onto me. I don't. No matter what I do, they seem to manage to latch on anyway. And I am not at all certain why, given that I am not particularly...ah...gifted with children. Perhaps they mistake tolerance for affection? I have no idea.

...of course, sometimes I don't mind, but that is something entirely different from letting them attach to me.

2. And I suppose I cannot say both? Ah well. Male pattern baldness, darling. I could live without sex, as entertaining as it is sometimes. Celibacy has occasionally made sense to me. On the other hand, losing my hair will never appeal to me. Vanity, yes, but that is the center of this question, isn't it? I like my hair, probably more than my penis.

Frank enough for you?

[umihebizanomiko.livejournal.com]

I try.

1. Yes, I do assume that because you don't seem to have a problem with getting adults to leave you alone when you want them to. Arakhne I find particularly interesting because you didn't seem to like her all that much, and she was hardly your responsibility. You could have been mean, or at the very least dismissive, and you weren't.

2. Yes. Yes, it is, thanks for asking.

I will eventually repost this meme, when I'm not, er, drowning in tags. >.>

For now, I'm only going to peg Nerdanel, since she's new.

So, Ner. In canon, you've never met any humans - what do you think of them, theoretically?

[ma-feanorian.livejournal.com]

Theoretically? Well, I should hardly know, as I've never met any, and I tend to prefer to reserve judgment until I can consider something properly. But in all honesty - with all I have seen, I cannot think that in most ways Edain are any greater or less than we are. After all, the Noldor have erred in the same ways many claim humans have, and while our grandeur might be greater, so too was our fall.

I doubt I would choose to associate with them, given the choice, simply because they are so short-lived, and one tires of death. But inherently, they have their worth, and we have ours, and that is the way it is.

[tomboy-typist.livejournal.com]

You know, lady, you're so sensible it's really a pity you didn't get to have more influence on the husband. Oh, which reminds us - what's your take on the blond and vaguely weird niece?

[ma-feanorian.livejournal.com]

Artanis?

I...can't say I have much of one. She always seemed a little bit - well, I don't want to say 'self-centered' exactly, but a bit heedless, when she was younger, but I'm sure she's grown up since. Or are you referring to that peculiar affair between her and my husband? Because in that case, I don't feel the need to feel any jealousy or anything of the like. Certainly not towards her, as I'm sure she had little to nothing to do with it.

She really isn't all that strange. And I don't have nearly enough female nieces, so there is that to consider. I would have liked to have one daughter, maybe - not to say that I am not satisfied with my boys, but all the same.

[tomboy-typist.livejournal.com]

But of course. And how do you feel about your son's marriage? Would you have preferred to be there?

I EXIST, REALLY. &hearts
