Question 1: What do you feel is an iconic language from fiction, fantasy, or science fiction and why?

The language of Mordor. Engraved in the One Ring. The effect when Gandalf uses it at the home of Elrond. Tolkien and languages. It’s a thing.

Question 2: How do you feel about ‘Common’, ‘The Common Tongue’ or ‘Galactic Common’ being used as a language in games or fiction? Is it lazy now? Is it cliché? Or classic?

I like it when it’s well explained. Stargate was because all humans universe wide originated on earth. Green Lanterns ring. Certainly a better translator than Google translate. But it does make it a decent plot point or shock when something comes that it can’t translate. The Indigo Lanterns rings spring to mind. Nok.

Question 3: Do you listen to music while you hobby? If so, what do you listen to specifically for hobby? And if not, why?

I listen to music while painting sometimes but it can be almost random what I choose.
