Tagged by: @wildehacked

name | Moran online, although people usually call me Starlight and I’m considering just giving up and switching to that ‘cause it’s nice.

nicknames | I answer to Moran IRL, people also call me R (yes, like Grantaire).  Also apparently I am now Vodka Tia Moran, which I am down with.

zodiac sign | LISTEN.  I flunk the zodiac.  I just do.  I am the worst at being a Pisces ever, literally EVER, and have been for my whole life.  And before you get clever and think “oh, well, what’s your ascendant/moon/sun/WHATEVER” just trust me, trust your resident ex-cult tia, someone has DONE THAT FIRST and drawn up my WHOLE DAMN CHART and I am The Worst At Zodiacking.  So just no.  Shhhhh.  Let it go.

height | Five-fucking-nothing and salty as hell

orientation | Queer, and yes I’ll fight you 

nationality | American and living in fear

favorite fruit | Pomegranates.  I will buy, peel, and eat an entire pomegranate for my own damn self and I don’t even care that it takes me forever to peel the damn things.

favorite season | I like all four seasons as long as they’re doing what they’re supposed to.  I do NOT like the messy in-between bits.

favorite book | WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT CHEATING QUESTION IS THIS.  THERE ARE FOUR BOOKSHELVES IN MY LIVING ROOM ALONE AND FOUR MORE IN MY BEDROOM.  TO SAY NOTHING OF EVERY OTHER ROOM IN THE HOUSE.

favorite flower | Roses.  Also lilacs.

favorite scent | Earth and asphalt after a rain, roses under hot sunlight, honey and rising bread, the ozone after a lightning bolt.

favorite color | Jewel tones–blood red, royal purple, sapphire blue, satin black.  I like colors that commit to something.

favorite animal | Horses and wolves and cats and dogs and snakes and turtles, in no particular order.

coffee, tea, or hot cocoa | Ahaha, me and caffeine don’t get along so great.  Either it’s DO ALL THE THINGS or immediate sleep.  And I can’t stand coffee well enough to drink it without the advantage of caffeine.  Jasmine tea with lots of honey is where it’s at, my dudes.  And hot cocoa if it’s cold out.

average sleep hours | …fewer than I should.  Maybe five.

cat or dog person | BOTH.  But also Charles (HIM BIG) and my own dear beasties demand that, for the moment, I am primarily a dog person.

favorite fictional character | …Jamethiel Priest’s-bane.  And Rachel.  And Kitsune Yukiko.  And everyone on the Enterprise.  And Storm and Rogue and–look, we could be here all day.

number of blankets you sleep with | Whatever means I am warm but not physically dying.  This number is distinctly different between bedtime and getting up, because my body temperature spikes the second I fall asleep and then I die from heatstroke.  (You think I’m joking.  I have, in the past, actually given myself heatstroke if I have too many blankets on me while feverish.)

dream trip | OUT OF THE DAMN COUNTRY.  Shockingly this is not predicated on the existence of the loud yam, I’ve just never been out of the country.  I think it would be really cool to go to Wales, and to do the whole Arthuriana tour of the Celtic Isles, and also to see if I can find out where my family is from in Hungary and go there, and go to Mexico to test out my Spanish in the real world.  Also Rome.  Always wanted to go to Rome.

blog created | Halfway through sophomore year, so…wow, about two and a half years?  Maybe more like three?

number of followers | 525 and I forgot to put up a piece of original writing for 500 because I’m a mess, someone remind me to send around some kind of poll or send in a specific request.

Tagging: Twenty people is a DAMN LOT, so like @littlestartopaz, @lathori, @chromatographic (who I FORGOT I was mutuals with because I’m a mess, do you see a theme), @skymurdock, @flvffs, @slyrider, aaaaand @cadeteyes.  And whoever else feels really called to do the thing.

Anonymous asked: Imagine Palpatine giving Anakin a clone of Padme. On the surface Palpatine claims he is rewarding Vader for exemplary service, but really he's rubbing Vader's face in it over Padme's death.

Holy shit, that clone better be the goddamn FASTEST TALKER in the galaxy, man, because I cannot imagine her surviving five minutes alone with Vader otherwise, “reward” from Palpatine or NOT. Unless, like, sheer spite spared her, maybe, maybe just sheer spite. Of course she is not a reward, of COURSE not, Vader KNOWS she’s not, he–he–

Force, she looks just LIKE her. She doesn’t have the memories, obviously, but the Force signature and the lilt of her accent and the particular tilt to her head and the spark in the back of her eyes are all so, so similar, so very nearly PERFECT, so very nearly … so very nearly … 

“Angel”. That’s the name the Emperor gave her. 

It’s actually almost sad how here for the Vader/Padme pain I am.  

@words-writ-in-starlight: the fastest talker in the galaxy NO FUCKING KIDDING vader is NOT A STABLE CREATURE OKAY EVEN ODDS ON TWO VERY DIFFERENT BREAKDOWNS THERE the first: murder of course because (vader thinks to himself) he’s already killed her once why shouldn’t he do it again? and she looks so like padme she does down to the stern line of her lips when she looks at him and she knows what he is and what he does and what her odds are of survival so she raises her chin proudly because she is nothing but a clone but she will die with pride and it’s…so much like padme (this is how liberty dies) he can’t let this galaxy destroy her twice he’s doing a mercy he’s SAVING her in the only way vader can save anyone anymore (he tells himself this) (it’s swift he can at least take comfort in that)(palpatine comes back to find her broken at vader’s feet and oh he is so angry that vader threw away this gift of his) (vader pays dearly for this as he knew he would) (but padme–not padme but almost padme–is safe at least he cannot hurt her again) the second: well…can the suit cry? and if so how would this girl this angel respond to the attack dog of the empire going to pieces in front of her who was her base structure to break him like this what does she do now?

@suzukiblu: #’are you an angel?’ #*flips table* #WHY DO YOUR TAGS ALWAYS RUIN MY LIFE FRIEND #WHY

Awww, you’re makin’ me blush.
