Fandom Stocking

Here's my stocking. I got two Band of Brothers fics and one Rat Patrol fic, all lovely. Also a BoB wallpaper.

Star Wars and Tea Parties

When I was a kid, maybe 8 or so, Star Wars started to show up a lot. In hindsight, it was probably because of the 20th anniversary of the first film in 1997 and the buildup to the prequels. At the time, all I knew was that there was this new thing that looked interesting, but I didn't know much about. I didn't see the movies until a couple years later, so all I had to go on was the character names and a very basic plot. Beyond that, I had to make it up myself.

One of the things I did was pretend that I was Han Solo's little sister. At the time, I had a tea party cookbook that I read a lot. It was sort of a picture book, and the tea parties were often illustrated with pictures of four kids, two girls and two boys. So, what I would do was pretend that the kids were Luke, Leia, Han, and me, having various tea parties.

IDK, it made sense at the time.
