I just thought of something. If Asgard is a people and not a place anybody could invade their homeland before it got destroyed, say its theirs, and to top it all off Asgard would do nothing. This would definitely not happen in the movies though. Just a thought.

Hello everybody! Hope everyone is safe indoors!

It's Hi Season. At the same time its the Day Before Death.

Question of the Day: If you could be an Olympic athlete, in what sport would you compete?

Fencing, probably. None of the others really appeal to me. Well, maybe skiing.... But then probably fencing...
Hm. Skiing, while attempting to fence.... Now that could be a sport....

Gymnastics. I'm not a good gymnast but soon I'm going to sign up for gymnastics.

I was going to try to compete in the London Games in the Women's Modern Pentathlon, but a drunk driver ended my chances.

I'm sorry that a drunk driver ended that ever happening.

Question of the Day: If you had to come face to face with any alien from science fiction, which would you pick?

One of those green-skinned Orion girls from Star Trek.

Though my face wouldn't be in her face, actually...

Question of the Day: If you had to be stranded, would you rather be stranded on a mountain deep in a forest and miles from even the most remote signs of civilization, or stranded on an island in the middle of a vast, vast, ocean?

Mountain.

I'd pick the Mountains. Kinda like where I was brought up in.

Question of the Day: What is the most inspiring quote you've ever heard?

Huh.... I've got a couple that've made me think pretty deep. Ironically, from TV and video games.

Listing them below using the quote function. And also putting myself as the quoted, since quote tags don't work without a person and a post, apparently.
Quotes applied to the characters in the media, since I don't exactly have a way to know who the person behind the screen was dictating them.

"In order to surive, all living things in this world fight desperately and devour those they defeat...
Must one kill other living things in order to survive?
Must one destroy another world in orther to allow one's own world to continue?
The wounded in turn wound and torment those weaker than they themselves are...
There are only the killers and the killed...
The sinners, who are judged, and the victims that do the judging...
What meaning is there to such a world?"

-Dragon God, from the game Chrono Cross.
While the quote itself more or less was a reflection of events in the game.... It certainly applies outside it well enough. That one has more or less shaped my outlook and view of the world since I was like 8. And even now, I continue to reflect on it. Though I have others that I like quite a lot - they'd all tie for #2, while this slides into #1.

"Power flows to the one who knows how. Desire alone is not enough."

-Megatron, from Transformers Generation 1.
Another one I've come to live by from a younger age. Just too true.

“Those who cannot acknowledge themselves will eventually fail.”

-Itachi, from Naruto.
It's been very relatable, having watched my Mom constantly tear into her own efforts. Have watched others tear into themselves as well - but none quite as ferociously as she does. More or less, I've also been less hard on myself since hearing this one.

Hmmm... first ones that come to mind are actually pretty juvenile, but I like it.

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind." -Dr. Seuss
"Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you." -Dr. Seuss

I'm sure I'll come up with better ones later. But at the moment this is what I've got haha
Honestly, just learning to accept yourself and better yourself is one of the most inspiring things, in my mind.
