After staying up late last night reading a book—a habit with which I am woefully out of practice, alas—I might have to turn today's quizzes over to Sev. My brain has been cooperating all day, but now that work is over, it's decided to check out. Quizzes...so...complicated....

::draws deep breath:: Sev. Would you do the honors? ::stately flutter of parchment and throat clearing::

Forest Green You're in your own world, spinning fictions and building realities and finding the poetry in ordinary things. The people around you can tell there's something special to you, and you're well-loved by some very good people. But even to your closest friends, you're a bit of a mystery. This always surprises you to hear, because you don't mean to put walls up—you just get so caught up in things nobody else sees that you forget to let yourself be seen. You're complicated, and sometimes you get tangled in it. Don't worry, though, it's not off-putting; despite your accidental air of mystery, your warmth can be seen like a campfire through distant trees.

Which Aesthetic™ Colour Are You?

I tend to think I'm about as complicated and hard to decipher as a glass of tap water, which is why it's always a little startling when people find me mysterious or surprising in any way. But I am often in my head, and I'm an intense sort of person, and while I don't think that combination is unexpected to my friends or family, it can be to strangers. In any case, it's reassuring to think that my warmth comes through, regardless.

Which Star Trek: The Next Generation Character Are You?

I was expecting to get Troi, but I like this result very much. I'm a good listener and I'm definitely a student of human nature like Troi, but I think I've grown into someone with more of Crusher's determination and ethical grit. I've always had strong ethics, but I've also struggled to shape words to effectively describe or defend them. And even when I had the words, facing people's judgment of my beliefs or their judgment of my temerity in speaking up for them was often enough to keep me silent. In the last several years, though, I've more or less decided that I'm tired of being afraid. That's not a magic wand, but it's allowed me to practice standing my ground, and the more I've done that, the better I've come to know my own mettle.

Animated Fantasy Film the characters go on a fantastical adventure that’s either whimsical or world-saving (or both), with a backdrop of beautifully rendered scenery. the protagonist is probably someone who seems fairly ordinary, especially compared to the deuteragonist, but they have hidden depths! the power of love, whether romantic or familial, usually saves the day. what does this say about you? you're someone who dreams of stranger worlds and has the power to make your own world more magical just by living in it.

Which of My Favorite Genres of Film Are You?

...Yes. Correct. Whimsy, world-saving through love, beautiful scenery, protagonist with hidden depths: these are my sweet spots, in film and all fiction, irrespective of genre. And if I do make the world more magical just by living in it, it's at least as much because I'm looking for other people's hidden depths, watching for opportunities to love intensely, and admiring the curious and beautiful in the world around me as it is because I'm dreaming of stranger worlds.
