Yesterday a complete stranger was an angel and super generously gifted me a ticket to join Kat's Stageit Q&A. I would like to give back trying to tell y'all everything I remember she talked about 🥰
The first question I remember she answered was the one I asked her from @mscnamaras (she said both of our names she was super adorable) asking if she could be any mystical creature what would she be and Kat said that Shadowhunters talking she would love to be a warlock.
Q: any new movies or shows you've watched that you loved during quarantine?
K: she's been watching a lot of things, documentaries, (she rewatched Succession I think it was), watched season 2 of Dead to Me, she wants to rewatch Fleabag, and watched all seven seasons of True Blood
Q: about Colton Haynes
K: he's pure sunshine and joy and kindness and she misses him
Q: 80s movie
K: The Breakfast Club is so iconic and she can watch it all over and over again
Q: father - daughter duo with Stephen Amell off screen as well?
K: Stephen has been so wonderful in getting her into the arrowverse world and really made her feel welcome he's always been there for any questions and if he needed advise. On her first time on set he was on the +
+ middle of a fight scene and he happened to watch her across the room while he was getting blood applied on his face and he stopped everything jumped out ran over and gave her the biggest hug and really made her feel welcome it was so kind and she will never forget it
Q: fav place to travel
K: she's so bad at picking faves but the first one that came to her head is St. Lucia there's so many gorgeous untouched natural elements on that island and it was amazing to experience it, is literally wonderland on earth
Q: what do u spend most of the time doing during quarantine
K: she's splitting her time between taking off things from her to-do list like reorganising her house or reading books and doing things she always wants to have the time to do and working out bc it keeps her sane and +
active and also catching up and reconecting with friends she haven't be able to see in a while
Q: more projects coming up?
K: she does, a lot of things coming soon, but she can't talk about them yet
About the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover https://twitter.com/lightwood_18/status/1264899569340559361?s=20
Q: do you still talk with the Shadowhunters cast?
K: YES. At daily basis with almost one of the members and crew too, she really misses them rn bc the ones that live on LA see each other every couple weeks at least when they are on town.
This is being very strange. She basically has been quarantining since St. Patrick's day. Time flies when you're dealing with the world, but hey, we'll all get thought it together ❤️
She's still figuring out how to do the #Shadowhunters reunion call, but she's gonna give it a go
Q: did she knew @bobquarantinebf has a twitter and insta account?
K: yes I did! And it's so fun to look at! It's been great to see all the posts and memes and thing everyone is making is amazing keeping up our sense of humor during this time. Bob's so lovely he listens, he's +
a strong silent type, but he doesn't contribute much to the conversation but he's queeping her company while quarantining on her own.
Q: what you can say about your character on The Stand?
K: I can't say much yet, but for those who don't know just after arrow finished shooting she was a part o a mini series for cbs all access based on stephen king's novel the stand. A few photos were released this week and +
she's so excited at a little bit of information starting to come out she really can't wait to share this with people and she can't say more at this point.
Q: fav music genera
K: it changes all the time, I go thought fases, I just enjoy music in general
Q: about Ben Lewis
K: I do love him! The first time I met Ben was actually on set on her first episode. Her first scene she shot was the cage fight and she met Ben that day and there was so much going on but she had so much fun and Ben and everyone else was so kind but +
instantly she knew Ben and her would get along, they have that dynamic since the first scene and he has not been anything but lovely since day one
Q: what genre of movie would you like to direct?
K: I'd love to do more of an abstract metaphorical kind of project but also a horror film and experiment on that
Q: would you want to film with Stephen again?
K: sure!
Q: what was it like to work with Tom Ellis during Crisis?
K: I'm a huge Lucifer fan myself so when I read the script I was like wait a minute, Lucifer, as in Tom Ellis Lucifer? How are getting this to happen? This is so exciting! This is such a big secret! And working with him +
was such a joy, he's such a master of this character and a lot of what he does he brings it into the moment. It was amaizing to put him and Matt Ryan together and just watch them play and find the little ways that Mia could incorporate into Lucifer's world.
(she still has some watching up to do with Lucifer but she has watched most of it)
Q: about Emily Bett https://twitter.com/lightwood_18/status/1264916560042438657?s=20
Q: if there would be a #Shdowhunters x #Arrow crossover, what do you think would happen, specially with Mia and Alec?
K: it would be very interesting, I'd actually love to see that, I think Mia and Alec would have to size each other upa little bit bc they are both very +
+ competitive and dedicated to their archery but I think ultimatedly they would get along quite well, they are both very straightforward and don't have a lot of time to mess about, they would be very direct with you and tell you the truth, and that's something I think they +
+ would bond over and also archery they both have a little sassy sense of humor. Plus ik Matt and I would have fun
Q: how long did you studied dance?
Kat: i've studing dance since I was very young as a hobby for fun as a kid, I did ballet most of my life and once I started doing theatre I expanded into tap and another kinds of dance it has always a creative scape for me
Q: mia hates chairs
K: YEAH for some reason she does hahah
Q: what's the funniest scene with Dom on SH?
K: I can tell you one that was sort of funny on it, it was the first time clary creates a portal and it was just dom and i on the library of the institute and in order to create the portal they had a big green screen on one corner +
+ and on the other corner they put a GIANT fan (the diameter was about my hight) they wanted papers fly around the room, my hair was down....
(my phone died at that point for a moment so idk the end of this story I'm really sorry guys)
She was sad she never got a scene together with Tessa! And Same with Chai.
Q: if you could act in any star wars film, what kind of character would you want to play?
K: ANY CHARACTER THAT GETS TO WEAR A LIGHTSABER. Or a droid. I'd love to be a Jedi or a droid. Just bc I think creating the droid would be fascinating to see how that would come +
together... I'm a huge Star Wars fan. But also fight with a lightsaber on camera would sort of fulfill every childhood dream I've ever had.
( @NKuleci and I are the biggest fans of editing Kat with lightsabers ain't we?😂😍)
Playing Rapunzel would be another dream come true
Q: do u still talk with lisa berry?
K: i haven't talked to lisa berry in so long, i miss her like crazy, she's such a lovely woman, she's fabulous
Q: fav DC character?
K: I always had an affinity for Batgirl, maybe it's because she's ginger, maybe bc she's badass right with the motorcycle idk but I've always loved Batgirl and I really would love to see her story told one day
(listen, I'm really loving Bri Cuoco as Batgirl on the new Harley Quinn cartoons, she's the cutest, I'm loving this character so much, and I'm right here announcing I'll definitely try to edit Kat as Batgirl when I have time omg)
(I'll continue later)
she volunteers as tribute to play Batgirl jsjsjsjs I can't love her sm
Q: what was the casting process like for the role of Mia?
K: a lot simpler that you would expect tbh, I only had one audition, it happened over the holiday weekend, they got her tape and everyone used it to watch and then she went in and had an audiotion with the showrunner and +
+ one of the writters and the casting director and she played the scene but she still didn't knew who Mia was, her name wasn't even Mia at that time (if u guys don't remember, her character was named Maya at first when the news went out) then she got a phone call a few days +
+ after she found she would be playing Maya's role and the showrunner told her congrats we're so happy to have you on the show btw everything u know is a lie ur playing Olicity's daughter okay talk soon! And Kat was like I have so many questions and she was lovely +

Q: did u watched Arrow before u were casted on it?
K: i had seen a few episodes of arrow doing research for other similar genre shows while she was shooting SH bc she had heard so many great things about it she wanted to check it out and see what she could gleam from it but +
+ then after she was casted for the show and found out what character would she be playing and whoose footsteps she would be following in she decided to watch the whole series and it was such a great watch to see all the journey of the show and how it developed and changed +
+ and the actors changed and it was very informative and helped a lot on formulating who Mia ultimatedly was
Q: show u would like to act in?

Q: cat person or dog person?
K: both I just love anything cuddly and flurry
Q: first thing you'll do after the quarantine ends
K: probably travel as soon as it's safe to do so and the world heals a bit more. I have friends I really wanna go visit and places I'd love to see and adventures to have, I'm not the kind of person to sit on, I much prefer to +
+ be out of the world with ppl learning and experiencing things
Another question I asked this time from @OfficialKDFord: besides going to see her family when this is over with, 2nd place she will be visiting?
K: probably london or paris or whenever the next convention is.. or somewhere she can go to sit on a beach & look @ the beautiful ocean

K: I've considered it several times I enjoy them
Q: have you read the TMI book series?
K: I have! I read them while we were shooting season one, I started reading the first book during my audition process and the continued reading thought bc I very quickly felt in love with the world and the characters and everything and by +
+ the time I finished the last book I was seing and hearing the faces and voices of the ppl that had became family to me and that made it so special. I hope one of this days I have time to go through the rest of the world Cassie Clare has created bc I miss the shadow world
She also said she has been thinking lately of going back to ginger, she also commented about it on Kathryn's post yesterday since she went ginger too. She sais she would love to specially now that she's not shooting anything but that she also wants to give her hair a break +
, that she went so quickly from Clary's ginger to Mia's blonde to The Stand pink...But she's definitely thinking about it bc she misses it
She would love to do more virtual conventions like this one, she misses all of us. Also a portion of the proceeds from this one went to the WHO covid19 response found.
Well that was all I remembered or had recorded. Pls if any of you find a recording of this whole thing I'd die to have the very start of it when she said my name🥺🥺🥰 Anyways thank you so much to the love you guys gave to my work on writing out this thread, it was a pleasure!❤️
