ladyadaars: hey t what fictional character do you have the biggest crush on??
"Oh fuck, I'm supposed to choose one? No way that's happening, um. Lara Croft, Indiana Jones - wait, do I have an archeologist type? Who else? Detective Luther, Faith Lehane, Obi-Wan, both Dana and Mulder. That's right, both of em! Fuck making decisions. Although I basically am Mulder, so maybe a little weird. Oh well."
JediKnights111: Do you consider yourself the hero or the villain in your story?
"Wow, you guys are getting deep tonight, I love it. I'd say - this probably changes day to day but overall I'm probably a villain. Maybe villain with the potential to go anti-hero, because I do try but I also am my own worst enemy a lot of the time. I really hope this means you're planning to write a comic about me, bro."
VaultJumper45: Tara, what advice would you give to someone looking to get into your field?
"Please don't. It's competitive as it is, and I'm sure you're much more talented but I need the money to buy more games. I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Really, I'd say have a goal in mind because dreams are important, but be prepared for the path there to take unexpected routes. That totally sounded rehearsed, I swear VaultJumper45 and I didn't plan this in advance. We've only just met...suddenly this is sounding like the start of an online meetcute, I'm going to stop talking now and waste these raiders okay?"
veryelfyy: best experience w/ a director?
"Okay, I know you guys have been begging for me to talk a bit about the Terence Malick experience. It's hard to describe because it was unlike anything I've done before but for you I'll try...um, you know they say there's a fine line between genius and insanity? Yeah, the whole time I was just trying to absorb what's running through his mind and at the same time to not entirely fuck up his vision. But that was part of the fun - he gave us so much freedom, I felt like the character was part my own creation and that somehow helped my nerves. Anyway, I won't say anymore, you should just see the film - Knight of Cups! It'll be out at some point, hopefully."
xx-tracy-x: Is there anything you thought you'd hate about what you do but actually ended up loving?
"Oh my god, can I say the attention? No wait, that sounds terrible, but I mean...the social media! Honestly I was so resistant because I was initially nervous about the pressure to be interesting or funny and you know, sure that every other reply would be somehow race related or like, show me your tits! And there's always that part of it, yeah, but mostly I love connecting with you amazing shits."
Lolaaaa: how would you describe yourself in five words
"Oooh...that's a good one. Don't hold me to this, but I'd say scrappy, smart, musical, enthusiastic and that emoji of the girl thirsty for attention with her arm raised. totally counts as a word."
