minerva_fan. Here's the deal. I answer these ones, then ask you guys to reply to this with 'interview me', I ask five questions of you, and you post them in your journal like this here post.
1. Who is in your icon?
Redvamp, a gothic model. She's my journal background, too.
2. You have "artemisia gentileschi" in your interests. Did you see the movie based on her life (Artemisia), and if so, what did you think?
Yes, and I had the same issues with it that a lot of people had. Any research that I have ever done on her suggests that she WAS raped by Tassi, and that paintings like 'Judith Slaying Holofernes' were expressions of her pain and hatred of the person that did that to her. I didn't like the portrayal of something that was quite possibly violence as a love affair.
3. Who is the oddest fandom pairing you've ever written about? Read about? What odd fandom pairing would you love to see written as a ship?
Written: I think Petunia/Dementor takes the cake. Read: Hmmm, Umbridge/centaur? Minerva/chicken drumstick? They rank up there in the memory. I'd like to see more Minerva/Harry. Something I've never seen before? Hmmm, everything has been done at least once in HP. Snape/Trelawney would be interesting, if someone could make them work while staying in canon.
4. Who is Steve Irwin, and why do you hate him?
The Crocodile Hunter. You know, that stupid, nauseatingly Aussie bloke who wrestles with crocodiles, says 'Crikey!' and takes his baby into croc enclosures with him? Yes, him. I hate him because he's a walking Australian stereotype, and, like Crocodile Dundee, makes (some) people from overseas think that he's a valid representation of us. I despise being stereoyped as a nasal sounding idiot who likes to whack snakes with sticks and see what happens. *breaths* Ah, that feels better.
5. One book you think every human should read at least once in their lives?
I'm not very well versed in the profound, non fiction of the world so I'll have to say what came to my head as an honest answer. Ian Irvine, 'The View From The Mirror' quartet (four books but one story). Because it is just the most amazing story I have ever read, I think, its characters, landscape and the struggles for power are rich and real.
