What book are you currently reading?
"Mudlarking: Lost and Found on the River Thames" by Lara Maiklem
What's your favourite movie you saw in theatres this year?
Only get to go when I'm taking kids, so Matilda the Musical
What do you usually wear?
For work vintage style dresses with lots of colour and pattern to perk me up, at home, leggings and a shirt dress.
How tall are you? 5'7"
What's your star sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event?
Leo. And birthday shared with @pronker š
Do you go by your name or a nickname?
My IRL name is so short I've never had a nickname. Mya was my original LJ name and I use that online
Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child?
No not at all, I only ever wanted to be an artist, but I was sensible and did science and I've been stuck with it ever since!
Are you in a relationship? If not, who is your crush if you have one?
Yes married a loooong time
What's something you're good at vs. something you're bad at?
I'm good at listening and really understanding what people mean, which is super useful in my line of work. I'm really bad at anything involving heights, which I found out after attempting to do one of those tree top trekking courses. š¤¢
Dogs or cats?
I would have a dog if I could be at home more during the day.
If you draw/write, or create in any way, what's your favourite picture/favourite line/favourite etc. from something you created this year?
Fandom-wise, I have many almost abandoned WIPs, but here's a tiny snippet from Chapter 4 (unposted) of my Obikin fic, Just Like Heaven:
Anakin is crowding him now, eyes flashing, but Obi-Wan does not take a step back. Instead, he finds anger rising in him, and that, mixed with the sense of Anakin so close, feels wildly dangerous. āGet out,ā he says, with quiet venom, fixing Anakin with a stare. āNow.ā
And yes, it is that kind of tension. š
What's something you'd like to create content for?
My Ao3 account!
What's something you're currently obsessed with?
Mudlarking, which is kind of like archeology without the digging, you find stuff in rivers instead, especially the Thames which is tidal and has had centuries of interesting stuff dropped/thrown/washed into it.
What's something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year?
Star Wars Celebration was a bit of a disappointment mainly because the trip was super exhausting, and ended with Covid
What's a hidden talent of yours?
I am pretty good at cooking, not anything fancy but rustling something up from random ingredients. And I'm pretty good at old fashioned navigating, just hand me a map.
Are you religious? No although sometimes I wish I was, because grief is pretty shitty if you don't believe I'm anything.
What's something you wish to have at this moment?
Time and freedom to travel and spend more time outside instead of at a computer screen.
Tagging anyone who actually reads to the end of this!

I havenāt thought about the obi wan series in a while but it its kind of insane that the writers were casually likeĀ āok so obi wan is so heartbroken over anakinās betrayal & the loss of his family that he spirals into the darkest headspace of his life, to the point that he buries his & anakinās lightsabers together and monotonously works his life away on tatooine bc he is depressed / doesnāt trust his ability to help or protect anymore. darth vader has only grown stronger, but is still tethered to the past, his old master, and the mistakes he knows he made. he has spent the last ten years with the single intent to hunt obi wan down and kill him. to make him suffer. and he does, physically at least. but when it comes down to it he sets obi wan emotionally free by telling him in a moment of kindness that obi wan did not kill anakin, nor create darth vader.ā like what the fuck actuallyĀ

Me: Write a poem about Obi-Wan, and make it REALLY flowery
AI: Glorious Obi-Wan, so wise and true
Your courage is an inspiration to us all
Your noble heart shines throughout the galaxy
A beacon of light to break through the night's fall
Your courage will be remembered for years to come
As you bravely stand against evil's malicious thrall
Your strength and loyalty are a testament to your soul
The legacy of Obi-Wan is forever enthralled
Me: Now write a haiku about his love for Anakin
AI: Love transcends space and time
Anakin and Obi-Wan's bond
Eternally sealed
Me: Now write a poem about Obi-Wan from Anakin's perspective and be really mushy
AI:
My Obi-Wan, my love, my friend
My heart is yours from beginning to end
The stars in the night sky shimmer with grace
When I think of your loving embrace
Your kind and gentle soul is like no other
A courage so brave it knows no other
Throughout the universe, our love ellides
Forever together, bound by lessons and tides
Me: Anakin WISHES he wrote this well
Me: Now write a poem written from Anakin as Darth Vader about how totally over Obi-Wan he is
AI:
My Obi-Wan, who I used to adore
Now filled with rage, my heart is no more
Our love dissolves in a vast sea of pain
With a broken heart, this path I must gain
Your words of kindness now filled with regret
The memories no longer linger, I forget
Your gentle laugh that used to make me smile
Is replaced by a storm of fury and bile
Our vows of loyalty have been shattered
The darkness of my heart has been battered
The light that used to shine from within
Is now encased in the darkness of sin
Me: I am SCREAMING
AI: I can see that you are delighted by the poems I have written! I am so glad that you enjoyed them!

I'm claiming the 10,000th note on this post! Was it ever verified to be true? Not sure it was!
If you weren't crying already, apparently Hayden said in the Q&A that the "I am not your failure" line was the little bit of Anakin left in Vader trying to absolve Obi-Wan of guilt.
