January Meme (2021 Edition)

[selenak]

I basically never do this in December and always in January, which is when I actually have the chance to reply to it on time, but I always enjoy it, and have made new friends in recent years, so:

Pick a date below and give me a topic, and I'll ramble on. I'm good at talking. It can be anything from fandom-related (specific characters, actors, storylines, episodes, etc.) to life-related to pizza preferences to whatever you want.

They will probably be brief, or not, depending on the subject. Also, I reserve the right to decline prompts that I don't feel equipped to meet.

Topics: you can get an idea from my tags/from the stuff I usually ramble about/from things you maybe wish I talked about more but don't. Also, please feel free to check out the January Meme: 2020 Edition, the 2019 one, the 2018 meme, the 2017 edition and the 2016 January meme to see which topics I've written about in past years.

Thoughts on what Hayden Christensen will be doing (flashbacks? visions? maskless Vader?) in the Obi-Wan miniseries?

[selenak]

Ohhhh, a good one. Will speculate!

[makamu]

I seem to be doing the Borgen questions, but here we go:

With a fourth season set to air on Netflix next year, what do you want to see ten years later for our characters?

[selenak]

Oh, I didn‘t know there will be a fourth season! Okay, will speculate!

[aurumcalendula]

Favorite book and/or fic you've read this year?

[selenak]

Let the sorting begin... I‘ll try to narrow it down to one.

[bunnyboo]

Hmm... January 3rd - Pizza preferences and why (actually interested!)

[selenak]

Ha, a first. Okay, will ramble!

[oracne]

Best places to visit in Germany!

[selenak]

I'll try to narrow it down. :)

[mildred_of_midgard]

Wust. :P

[selenak]

Wust as a subject, you mean?

[mildred_of_midgard]

No, I was joking that Wust is clearly the best place to visit in Germany. I *hope* you've already told me everything you know about Wust. ;)

[yhlee]

January 26 - favorite TV or movie score/music/SFX? :D

[selenak]

Will do!

[wychwood]

Favourite B5 single-episode character? Who is not Timov.

[selenak]

A veritable challenge! Let's see...

January 8. Textiles. this can range from fabrics used in historical dramas/real history, how choice of fabric demonstrates status, textiles you may enjoy making, or any interesting interactions you have had with fabrics (old or new) yourself.

[selenak]

I'll try to think of something!

[lirazel]

I haven't been here long, but it's clear you love history. I was wondering if you might talk about some of your favorite moments/events/people in history that you find absolutely fascinating but that aren't very well known.

[selenak]

It's deal!

[felis]

Some favourite Hohenzollern sibling moments or what-if scenarios? :)

[selenak]

Siblings it shall be!

[cahn]

Oh, this is a delightful prompt!

[cahn]

Favorite opera(s)? :D

[selenak]

Will do!

[bimo]

January 9: Imagine you were at a multi timezone social gathering at Starfleet Headquarters. How would you describe or introduce Captain Saru to Admiral Jean-Luc Picard?

[selenak]

I shall try!
