Resistance is futile - from lumineaux

1. OK, so you're Queen. What are your whims?
This is a hard one, as that is a job that I really would never care to do.
1. Court to start ON TIME.
2. More food cooked from known period techniques/ingredients and not redacted from "known" recipes. Things that are tasty and packed with protein (preferably animal).
3. More fencing tournaments that are duel based and less melee.
4. More demonstrations of true period fighting styles, sword, lance, polearms, rapier, etc.
5. More A & S projects focused on techniques and imagination rather than copies of existing works.
6. Cold coke and sugar free red bull to be supplied in the royal room.

2. Where do you find your energy?
I was hatched that way. Gram and mom both had energy abound as well. I have been told, it is just the way I am hard wired. When I was little, I would go until I dropped. Literally. Where ever I was. They even found me sleeping up the stair case.

3. Who's your favorite muppet?
Kermit the Frog. As far back as I can remember.

4. If you could pick one superpower, what would it be?
The ability to control time. There is so much I want to do, see and experience. And never enough time to do it all.

5. Are there foods that you don't like or don't like to cook?
Oh yes... I despise Lima beans and organ meats (especially liver). I don't like to eat them, I don't like to cook them, can't stand the smell of them. There is a reason I delegated the soup this weekend. Cooked carrots, its a texture thing. Eggplant and tofu, if the gods wanted me to eat a sponge, they would have been made tastier. I'm sure there are others, but those are at the top of my list.
I am willing to entertain more questions, if anyone is so inclined.

An admirable thing. The question I always wrestle with is - how do you control for "but it's creaaaaatiiiiive" when people go out of period?

(I would nuke A&S competitions and most A&S displays as currently constituted from orbit as Queen, but I am not Queen and no one has been foolish enough to give me a detonator.)

I'm all about this. As anyone who paid attention during Andreas and Gabriella's reigns knows.

3. More fencing tournaments that are duel based and less melee.

And this.

2. More food cooked from known period techniques/ingredients and not redacted from "known" recipes.

What's the difference?
