I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Dinosaurs were one of my things too, as a kid, as well as astronomy and trains. Never read any Norse myth, though I know did read some Greek myth on my own before we covered it in school.

I think the first fiction I started reading was the "Three Invesitgators" series. Though I read The Hobbit before that, I think. I know I saw the animated movie in 3rd or 4th grade and instantly fell in love with the fantasy genre.

We do have the days of the week to remind us. Except for that exotic Mediterranean god on Saturday.

Plus? Long Dark Tea Time of The Soul, which makes me smile.

Was there Norse myth in that? I only read it once years ago (though I own it) and I don't have much of a recollection about it.

Loki's in a comic book?

He's the main antagonist in the Thor comics. Or at least was back in the day. Had a really ugly green and yellow outfit with curled horns on his forehead.

Jupiter Jones! I deeply wanted a clubhouse hidden in an abandoned trailer inside a junkyard. Also, a chauffeur on call.

Also, a recurring villain in Thor (or at least he was).

To paraphrase Inigo Montoya, "I don't think you read the book that you think you read."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thor's, like, the guy.

You're not paraphrasing him, so much as you're misattributing. That's Inigo's line.

Yes, I corrected it immediately. Not fast enough for this board, tho.
