15 characters from a book or movie I would like to meet (and why)

Original prompt: Which character from a book or movie would you most like to meet, and why? These are in no particular order. 

  1. Penelope Featherington/Bridgerton from the Bridgerton book series by Julia Quinn (how did she get so bold with her writing?)
  2. Parker from the Leverage book--and TV--series by various authors (honestly, I'd love her to teach me how to lockpick and dodge lasers--not to really steal, but just like as a party trick)
  3. Persephone from the Lore Olympus series by Rachel Smythe (I want to give her a hug and talk to her about the balance of power and sweetness)
  4. Nimona from Nimona by ND Stevenson (Nimona is just so cool)
  5. Katie from The Hallowed Ones duology by Laura Bickle (I would love to discuss faith, love, and what it means to be human with her)
  6. Carmilla from Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu (this is assuming I can't be turned into a vampire, but I'd love to do an Interview with the Vampire-style interview with her)
  7. Belle from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (How did she and Scrooge meet (NB: many movie adaptations have them meeting at Fezziwig's party, but that does not happen in the book)? What did she learn from their relationship? How did she react to his changed demeanor after the events of the book (did she even know?)?)
  8. Hercule Poirot from the Hercule Poirot book series by Agatha Christie (I would especially want to talk with him about grappling with the decision that he made at the end of Murder on the Orient Express)
  9. Olive from Little Miss Sunshine (2006), directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (I'd love to discuss family and what she learned from her family road trip depicted in the movie)
  10. Mulan from Mulan (1998), directed by Barry Cook and Tony Bancroft (I admire her and want to talk to her about bravery, family expectations, and love)
  11. Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), directed by Henry Selick (I want her Halloween tips and tricks!)
  12. Kate Baker from Cheaper by the Dozen (2003), directed by Shawn Levy (I bet she has great tips for how to manage a household)
  13. Princess Fiona from Shrek (2001), directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson (she is a badass and learned to accept herself)
  14. Kaywinnet Lee "Kaylee" Frye from Serenity (2005), directed by Joss Whedon (she is bubbly and somewhat innocent but owns her sexuality and also could probably teach me how to fix most things)
  15. Stereotypical Barbie from Barbie (2023), directed by Greta Gerwig (I'd love to discuss her realizations and choice to become a woman instead of a toy)

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
