five found things

Give me:
1. The color you always associate with me.
2. The first object you see when you look behind you.
3. A name you've always hated.
4. An analogy, whether it makes sense or not.
5. A proverb, whether fictional or true.

And I will write you an original story of no more than five hundred words.

1. The color you always associate with me.
Light blue. Or blonde. Blonde more often than blue. At this point, it's probably either because of icons, or because of Vexen and Saix.

2. The first object you see when you look behind you.
.... WHATEVER IS BEHIND ME idunno. Do you mean, behind my computer? SOMETIMES I WALK AROUND. Usually there's a cat.

3. A name you've always hated.
I'm pretty sure this is a trick question, because the five things that get answered here go into this story and why would I want a story with a name I hated??

4. An analogy, whether it makes sense or not.
Blood is to water as my love is to me.

5. A proverb, whether fictional or true.
Homo homini lupus - Man is wolf to man.

analogy

Speaking of which, I'm totally going to write a story with that title now.

name

[mythicbeast]

If that was a title I imagine it would be a Song of Ice and Fire fanfic, fo'sho.

As for the name, I'm not necessarily going to use it! 8D

Re: name

[rabbitprint]

I'm thinking about making it the title of the FF Big Bang piece. Speaking of which. YOU SHOULD SIGN UP TOOOOOOOOO.

But it'd make a nice Song title too.

Fine, fine. I've -- I don't think there are any names I really hate on principle, I always hate them because of negative associations. But if it helps, I've never been particularly fond of 'Roger.' I like it as a military affirmative -- "Roger, copy that." -- but really not a name. Does that count?

The first object you see when you turn around RIGHT NOW. >8O

[rabbitprint]

The back of my chair.

....

......... YOU ASKED. Ok ok fine. Some Battle Angel Alita manga. I have a bookshelf back there.

These are my last words as your queen. Mark them well

they bowed because if they did not, they would never stand again.

[mythicbeast]

I would have probably made it longer, but I was flirting with the word limit (and my mental monologue as a warrior queen) as it was. :))) DOES THIS MEAN YOU LIKE IT.

also i can totally go through it and point where all the references to your prompts are if you want, haha. IT'S ALL IN THERE.

Pfff of course i love it. :d And the way you managed to get all the prompts in there -- I have a lot of fun going through it and picking at it here and there, even working in blonde = gilt, and the predatory nature of the queen, and I love how you bring up the point of how women are usually recorded as effective in history only in the ways of 'what a woman should be' - sweet, wise, beautiful. And how, ultimately, she lived life to the fullest, even in war and conquest and her deeds; it gives such a strong impression of someone who chose her style of warfare not out of malice but out of passion, and some necessity.

It's such great atmosphere and a strong sense of character, so full of vibrant life. I always love seeing your work because you always nail that so effectively. :)
