Fandom Mashups is a feature hosted by Lunar Rainbows Reviews. There's a different scenario each week, and you choose a "dream team" of five characters from five different fandoms whom you think are best suited for the situation.
This week's topic is:
In your adventuring, you've decided to take up Sword-Fighting, as one does, to help defend yourself against threats - and dragons. Who will teach you this noble art?
- Aelin (Throne of Glass): Hell. Yeah! A few lessons from this lady, and I'll be ready to take on anyone and anything!
- Brienne of Tarth (A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones): Let's hear it for another lady who knows how to swing a sword! You don't survive the brutal world of Westeros (so far, at least, haha!) without knowing how to fight.
- Emma Carstairs (The Dark Artifices): One of the two main characters in the newest Shadowhunter series, Emma's weapon of choice is the Carstairs family sword, Cortana. And you'd better believe she's highly skilled at using it.
- Valek (Poison Study): Another assassin, Valek can show me how to sword fight my way out of any situation.
- Obi-Wan Kenobi (Star Wars): Broadening the definition of "sword" here, but lightsabers have always reminded me of swords. And I'd love to have Obi-Wan as an instructor!
Aelin got NO TIME OFF this week :D She was my first thought too, seeing how EPIC she is with her sword(s)! AND YES to Obi Wan! Sabers are totally similar too swords and who better to be a mentor than my beloved Obi Wan ♥
ReplyDeleteAelin works overtime like all the time, lol. I can't think of a better instructor with the sword, or any kind of blade for that matter! Obi-Wan seems so patient, so I don't think he'd get too frustrated with me when I inevitably drop my lightsaber a thousand times. XD
DeleteI have to agree with you on the Emma Carstairs front; you wouldn't want to cross that girl on a bad day. I would probably want to be taught by Jack Sparrow (PoTC) or Percy Jackson, because who wouldn't want a demigod professor with a kick-ass sword that is coincidentally named after one of my favourite songs?
ReplyDeleteJack and Percy are both great picks! I love how awesome Emma is wielding Cortana; I wouldn't want to cross her on a good day, either! :D
DeleteBrienne is great! Maybe Jaime Lannister too before he lost his hand. And going with lightsabers- I'd say Darth Maul because he was badass w/ that dual bladed lightsaber. Might be an interesting teacher too with his evil ways.
ReplyDeleteJaime in his prime, for sure! And Darth Maul was awesome with that lightsaber; I'm totally open to training with a Sith, lol!
DeleteYes light sabers can absolutely count here! I haven't read The Dark Artifices yet but so glad to hear Emma is a force to be reckoned with that sword. Aelin - yes! I would love her on my team for this one. Valek I love for this one as well. He's fresh on my mind :D I would have to add Link too!
ReplyDeleteLink would be perfect- I didn't even think of him! I just finished the newest Study book, so Valek is definitely on my mind at the moment, too. :D
