in_the_blue gave me the letter K. Comment if you want a letter. Questions in the textarea.
Something I hate: Baby kale. No seriously. This stuff does not taste like grown-up kale and I adore grown up kale, but not baby kale at all.
Something I love: Kittens. I have always loved feline people and I especially love their independence and sweetness and that when they like you, you know they've chosen to like you and they're picky, so it really means something. And then make them pint-size and adorable with these tiny little mews that'll make your heart kerwollop? It's over.
Somewhere I've been: Kingwood, TX. I was a baby. I have no recollection thereof. At all. I mean, at all at all.
Somewhere I'd like to go: Kauii. I want to visit all the Hawaiian islands and that one in particular was my grandmother's favorite. She said it was like a garden. I'd really love to go.
Someone I know: Katt, akaxenokattz. I admit, we're not close, but I adore her writings and for a while we chatted fandom before she moved to Tumblr and I still rec her, her work (it's incredible, peoples; read it), and her blog(s).
A film I like: The Karate Kid...2? I saw it when I was still a kid, but the one where they went to Okinawa. I loved that movie, the karate, the characters, and the whole arc with the uncle and the nephew and the parallel rivalries and the climax.
A book I love: Kinder- und Hausmärchen | Grimm's Fairy Tales. Yeah, I don't have Grimm's in the original German (nor would it do me any good if I did), but it was sitting there so nicely under the K section that I went with it.
I love fairy tales and I love the meat in these ones. There's stuff there to dig down into that isn't always in the fluffier, watered down versions. There's things that make you think and wonder. There's more fantastic things like iron bands around Iron Henry's heart that kept it while he was bereft of his beloved master. There were non-sexual intense love relationships like the one I just mentioned. There were awesome woodcuts. There were songs like in "The Almond Tree." There's just so much I love about that collection.
An Author: Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Have you read her Fae series? If you haven't and you love epic fantasy and don't mind violence (the Fae culture is violent, no way around that), then I highly recommend this series. It's fascinating worldbuilding and lots of mystery and lots of reveals to keep you interested anyway and a grand scheme of a lot of power in a tug of war between generations when there's a curse on their family that keeps blood from killing blood.
