It’s time for Top 5 Wednesdays, a weekly meme created by gingerreadslainey and hosted by Sam @ThoughtsOnTomes. If you want to know more or join as well, just go to the Goodreads group by clicking here. At first, I thought I could just make up the jobs, but I guess I have to take some from existing media. I CAN DO THAT! Fictional jobs are still better than real jobs?
Any fictional career you’d want to have? Remember, T5W is always open to movies, TV and video games as well.
The Doctor’s Companion
As low as my current motivation is for Doctor Who (and I know, Cátia, you had the same) there was no way I could resist this – all of space and time at your feet! Bring it on! I found a lot of my characteristics in Clara and Eleven was my most favourite Doctor, so I would like to travel with them, but basically any Doctor is fine. I always try to pay attention to whether I might here a TARDIS land nearby.
Con Artist
I am a complete wimp in real life, okay? My parents are way bolder than me, but maybe that’s why these con artists hold such a fascination with me. I could never do anything they do. I’d like to believe that my moral compass is way too strong for that. But the way they can read people and use that to their advantage is an amazing quality. Maybe I’d just use it to make people like me?
Shadowhunter
Let’s just pretend I could actually be this athletic and badass, shall we? I like so, so many characters from that world, I could have them all as friends that way! And no, no … I wouldn’t be awkward at all …
Private Investigator
Veronica Mars was my ultimate role model (alongside Rory Gilmore) and I adored that girl. I want her to be my mentor and then I would become one of the best PIs there are!
Set Designer
I thought of this, because I always wanted to work on set and I love interior design … you see where I am going with this, right? At least when Emi does it in Everything Leads to You, it seems like a dream job!
What are some fictional jobs you would like to try? Let’s talk about that!
Is being a companion a job? Is so, then sign me up! Being a Shadowhunter would be so cool! But I’m so clumsy…. is there a rune for clumsiness?

I say it is a job! I mean, you save the world and other planets and timelines – that’s hard work.
I think there’s rune for sure-footedness and one that makes your steps and moves quiet, so probably?

Yeah, true… I’d need that one, people always say I’m loud when I walk.

LOL! I am sure it’s not that bad. It’s better than people wanting to put a bell on you, because they never know if you are there or not.

I’d love to be one of the Doctor’s companions. And if not that, a sorcerer of some sort.

What kind of sorcerer. You need to be waaaaaaay more specific!

Alright, one who’s sort of dark and is slightly ambiguous as to whether they’re good or evil. Has all the standard powers–long life, telekinesis, teleportation, energy attacks–but can also travel between universes and put demons under his control. That’s the kind of sorcerer I would probably be.

I read those powers and I don’t know why, but I am picturing Cisco from The Flash who is like a cute puppy and not dark and morally ambiguous at all hahaha

All I can do is laugh at that. I haven’t seen the show, so I really can’t react in a way a fan of the show might.

Flattered that you think I’m cute like a puppy, though. 🙂

Such an awesome list!! I would love to be the Doctor’s companion too!! And I feel like I’d want to be a spy (kind of similar to a con artist)- but I’d be totally useless at it cos I’d get way too overexcited and just blurt out what I was upto the second I got the chance! 😉

I would probably start laughing in the most inopportune moments. That’s also what I would expect might happen during my acting class, but we will see.

Well no, I can’t make up the character. I am given a certain selection and that’s not really an option, not even if I make it my own interpretation.

Ahhhh yes being a Shadowhunter would be so awesome! ❤ Sign me up for that, please. Ahem. I'd probably have to cover myself in a million runes though because a) I have no fighting skills whatsoever and b) Not athletic either so. Um. Haha being a con artist would be so interesting! Lovely list!

I’d need all the runes I could get too, but hey, that’s what they’re there for and we’d look super badass.

YES to being a P.I. Veronica is the best role model ever. I absolutely adore her.

Haha, I totally would be a shadowhunter if I could! But then again if I saw a demon I would be so frightened and wouldn’t be able to face it. And I’m not exactly graceful so I would probably do more harm to myself in the process of “fighting” someone, lol. Anyhow, creative list, Kat!
