fashion dreamer was never marketed as another style savvy installment, so idk why you're complaining that it's not like those games. it's its own thing. that's like saying zelda sucks bc it's not a side scrolling game like mario, just because they're both from nintendo.

I’ll take further effort to try and avoid namedropping so it doesn’t turn up in the search, but given there have been talks about concern for this game in the main tag since it was announced, there are likely going to be some criticisms/mixed reviews until the people who don’t like the gameplay and conceits bounce off.

I will also note:

1) My critiques so far have mostly been focused on the gender-lock on fashion, and how the historical lack of depth in the men’s fashion - from Style Savvy, I’ll note, and I was dragging that series a WHOLE lot harder than Fashion Dreamer whose men’s fashion seems to be better by default - makes the gender-lock even more of a problem. Playing a bit more in offline mode, I AM seeing a bit more variety in the menswear aesthetics, which is great. Still would have preferred no gender locks on clothes, especially since I still don’t trust that the men’s fashion got anywhere near as much focus as the women’s. Still baffled why SOCKS are gender-locked. Again, the situation’s worse in Style Savvy, but there’s still a lot of room to improve.

2) There is a very clear through-line from Syn Sophia’s earlier fashion games to this one. There’s a reason why everyone’s first response when it was announced was “wait is that a Style Savvy?!” The artstyle is very similar. The clothes menuing has a clear resemblance. Further, this game is in the same extremely niche subgenre. The spiritual successor/sister game energy is extremely strong.

Which isn’t a bad thing in its own right! My comparison to Happy Home Designer vs a mainline Animal Crossing is because I actually really liked HHD for what it was. Pretty sure I even replayed it at some point. But because every design gave you unlimited creative freedom, you’d eventually hit a point where you unlocked most of the furniture, you’d done all the really cool requests, and then you’d hit a rut using the same basic layouts and items because there was no reason not to and eventually you decided you didn’t want to make a house devoted to the number 7 and dropped it. That’s my concern for Fashion Dreamer in terms of staying power, for precisely the same reasons. I’d like to be proven wrong, but since I HAVE seen a lack of structure and incentivizing in a companion game to a series that has more of it work against said companion game, there is a genuine cause for concern here.

I am genuinely enjoying the game and will definitely be posting some positive thoughts on it as well. The improvements to the character creator are solid. But there clearly are some things that won’t work for everyone, and the sense I got from the community as a whole even pre-release was excitement mixed with trepidation. That’s probably going to be a thing for a while. Feel free to block and move on if you need to, since I can already tell my opinions here are going to be mixed. What it does well it does genuinely well! But there are some pretty basic choices in things like ‘menu design’ that are not working for me. That has nothing to do with comparing it to any other fashion game, it’s just awkward.

Hmm, for tags… @claybrownie7566 @bokettochild @sister-dear @thescrapwitch if any of you wanna do this feel free to hop in! No pressure ofc <3

Answers below the cut just in case it gets long :>

1. Four! To the surprise of no one

2. God idk, honestly. He just seemed really interesting the more I read about him, ig. Plus Minish Cap and the Four Swords manga are some of my favorites. I also just feel strangely connected to him though I don’t know if that’s because he’s my favorite of if he’s my favorite because I feel connected to him, lmao

3. I’ve never really chosen my favorite characters, it’s always been something that just kinda,, happens, lmao. That being said, this is the third favorite character I’ve had since I joined the fandom, lol. First it was Wild, then it was Legend, now it’s Four.

4. Least????? Ahh,,,,, I have no idea. Does fandom characterization count? Because there’s quite a few complaints I have with some people’s characterizations lmao. Otherwise I’ve got nothing. If he had things I didn’t like about him he probably wouldn’t be my favorite fbjsfwjdbsj I’m extremely biased

5. I don’t think I could choose one thing if I tried hdvsjwfjdksh. I think either his personality or the fact that he just feels the most unique out of all the boys? Probably moreso personality.

6. He gives me gender envy <3 GDHSGWKDHJ (it’s funny because his design actually used to be my least favorite. I didn’t like it. But now it’s grown on me a LOT). Also it’s the most unique of all the LU designs which is pretty neat.

7. Literally any of them hfvsgwjdhsj. I feel like my preference changes day by day. But I really like Four & Twilight & Sky as a trio and I really wanna see more of the three of them together tbh

8. Favorite game is Minish Cap, favorite character is Ezlo!

9. 10. I would die for him in an instant

Hello, fellow LinkedUniverse fan! You’ve been randomly selected to start a random, fun little questionnaire! You can answer these questions and tag however many people you want to pass it on!

Wow, okay, anon, this looks like fun!

1. ☁Sky☁

2. Oof, where do I even begin?

Getting the obvious outta the way, he’s adorable. Both when I first played Skyward Sword and when I first read Jojo’s comics, I just got drawn to how kind he is. I love that he’s one of the more expressive Links compared to the others, and I had such a great time playing the game with that being one of the reasons why, other than having such a fun storyline to go through. He’s so friendly and gives off those mom friend vibes. He's just so huggable-looking.  Plus, some of my real life interests kinda mirror his aesthetic. He plays a harp, and that’s been my favorite instrument since I was little and I’ve always wanted to play it (but those things are just so damn expensive y’know?). I have a lyre and I practice on that until I’m able to afford an actual harp. As weird as this sounds, I love going outside just to watch the sky and clouds, especially in the fall (who else is excited for fall other than me?). I do this for hours. I also love pumpkins and pumpkin flavored foods, and those things are all over Skyloft.

3. He’s always been my favorite ^w^

4. What’s not to love about him? He’s got low stamina??? Idk I had a hard time answering this. Also, this kinda sounds weird but I actually have a hard time portraying him, Legend and Four the most when it comes to writing stories. 

5. That he’s just the sweetest thing on a normal day but would f*cking gut you the moment he gets angry. This guy has the power to kill a god!

6. I love that he uses his sailcloth as a cape. He still wears his fireshield earrings instead of his regular blue ones and I also think that’s neat.

7. Sky/Four, Sky/Twilight, and Sky/Hyrule. I don’t see these pairings often and I can literally feel the potential of good interactions in all of them.

8. Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess are my favorite Zelda games, so absolutely yes.

9. 100/10 I'd f***ing jump off Skyloft with no sailcloth for this guy, no question about it. I’d get my lopsided ass beat in the silent trials for him.

I’ll tag @kokiri-clori, @bringingtherain, @cupofcoca, @lyrabythelake, @basilsghost and literally anyone else who sees this and wants to participate!

(oh crap sorry Clori I already see you got tagged lol!)

For the fandom ask thing, IF you haven’t already gotten an ask for it, then Four Swords ;3

Hello to you both and hope you are doing well :)

The first character I first fell in love with: That would be Shadow. Listen I was a Dark Link fan and wanted anything that had a doppelganger and four swords not only GAVE me a gremlin dark counterpart BUT ALSO gave him redemption arc and a neat personality? Dude I was crying happy tears <3333

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Blue Link :)

listen he was one of the last characters I ever thought I'd like and fanon only fueled my :/ attitude towards him. I didn't like how he acted in the manga nor did I love how he treated the others and with the OLDDD fanfics(? Idk if they exist anymore lol) he was always the.. pretty much 'Bully' character that only existed to be used to make some other character feel bad and then they get comforted by whatever ship. I didnt like him at all :,) until I wanted to write some Shadow fic and Blue was a huge part of it so I had to excessively focus to make him as in character as possible did I realize "Yo... Yo wait I've been so unfair to you oh no." and here I am. The resident 'I will fill up the ao3 tag with Blue centric fics' and tadaaaa :,)

The character everyone else loves that I don’t:  this was hard cause ngl I love all of them?? But if it's in creating content.. despite liking him I dont focus too much on Red 😔 like I had to weigh between who I would enjoy writing and creating content for and atm, Red isn't one I'm very?? Drawn to writing??? Still love him a lot tho.

The character I love that everyone else hates: I HONESTLY?? DONT?? KNOW?? The fandom likes all of them? Some more than others but I think we all do like them?? Though if I go with what I think 1 or 2 people thought before, it's probably Blue???????? I honestly dont know omg..

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Its not that I dont love, cause I still do but like Shadow was my number 1 fav for a long time. Then Blue happened and took over. So rip Shadow rights I guess?

The character I would totally smooch: I dont smooch and prefer a simple meme exchange.... But istg 13-14 y/o me would have said Shadow and idk.

The character I’d want to be like: BLUEEEEE but everyone keeps saying I'm more similar to Vio so RIP

The character I’d slap: Tingle.

A pairing that I love: I'm more of the platonic side of group, most things I create are platonic and up to interpretation??? But I do love Blue & Shadow u_u LISTEN THEY WOULD HAVE A GREAT DYNAMIC... all my enemies to friends stans who adore witty banters and competitiveness??? The potential to have them be very aggressive with each other but the moment ANOTHER PERSON says something bad about one of them and the other SNAPS and is just 'Ay no I get to be rude to them' or actively starts a fight. THE POTENTIAL of having this impulsive duo with one enabling chaos and another is just that impuslive to dive head first into danger? SO MANY IDEAS...

A pairing that I despise: again platonic side, but I will admit I'm pretty neutral on everything?? I do like all kinds of friendships or so?? But it gets tiring seeing the same repeat of Vio & Shadow or Blue & Red or Green & Zelda. It's still great but I do think we could create more different dynamics. Like Vio & Red could have the most adorable friendship and Green & Shadow could have great bond (since Green is the first to actually say out loud they accept Shadow and say hes one of them ahem so underrated)

—𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍—

Ahhhh! I’m so amazed that I got to 500 followers despite the fact that I barely?? Post?? And sometimes I just talk about random shit but even then, I still appreciate all of you guys so much? I have a few options on what I have to celebrate and I am so excited heheh. But before I get started I just,,, Have a few more things I’d like to talk about (cus I like to talk LOL). Feel free to skip though!! 

content continued below the cut!! (warning; introduction is long because I just have a lot of thoughts I want to share LOL. seriously, feel free to just skip) 

I know that I only really started posting Haikyuu!! around my 300 mark, and I feel like the people after my 300 mark are the one’s who are active because of how much I come onto tumblr and then disappear. 

If you don’t know this, I’ve actually been writing on Tumblr since 2015/2016. I’ve just changed blogs so many times that it’s like, hey, this is my new blog. Or like, I would write for a few months, disappear, come back but then everyone who followed me was dead so I was like eh I’ll just start again or whatever. And I think this makes me very very soft because out of all the communities I’ve been in, I’ve truly felt more welcome/at home even?? With everyone in Haikyuu? Like yeah there’s shit that goes down every few days or whatever but it’s always so fun to see people interact with each other and though I was hesitant at first (because before this the only writer I’ve ever interacted with was Scout for marvel oop) I’m really glad I reached out to a few of y’all and vice versa. 

But despite that, Marvel will always hold a place in my heart and to everyone who followed me from my Marvel days, thank you for supporting me way back when. And even to my Narnia days (AHAHAHA). I don’t think I would’ve continued writing on tumblr without your guys’ support. I know that younger me appreciated you all for reading those old works (even if I hate my old writing now). 

And to everyone now, thank you for sending in asks or commenting on my works. I actually think I would’ve disappeared by this time from this blog if you guys didn’t interact. I’m not saying I’m writing for the follows or the notes, if that makes sense. But it’s more like, I feel less of a robot that people expect to churn out works. Idk, it makes me feel like a person? And it just gives me a lot more serotnin than you might think!! 

One last thing though, it’s not me saying I expect you guys to always read my work and always comment. It’s more so, I’d actually rather have you guys comment or whatever because you want to and you want to read it. Like on one hand yes it does make me feel appreciated but I also don’t want you to feel obligated or feel guilty of you don’t read my things. No matter what, I will always be writing. It definitely does feel nice tho LOL 

I promise in the future, if I ever do intros they won’t be this long lol. 

Phew. Anyway. 

For this celebration, this is only for Haikyuu!!

2020 Fic Author Questions

Tagged by the amazing @regrettableturnofevents Thanks for thinking of me ❤️

Name: 1TheArtOfLosing1

Fandom(s): I have published fanfiction for Little Mix, Doctor Who and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

Where you post: Ao3, but I used to post my Little Mix fanfictions on Wattpad as well

Most popular one shot (by kudos) this year: ‘I Just Wanna Spend The Nights With You’. Technically ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ has more kudos, but I was asked to do a second part so it’s not really a one shot anymore

Most popular one shot (by kudos) overall: The same one

Most popular multi-chapter (by kudos) this year: ‘There You Go, Saving Me From Out Of This Cold’

Most popular multi-chapter (by kudos) overall: ‘Why Don’t We Kill Each Other Slowly?’

Favorite story you’ve written so far: Definitely ‘There You Go, Saving Me From Out Of This Cold’, especially because it got so much love and sweet comments. I also just love coffee shop AU’s so writing one was a lot of fun as well!

Also ‘I Wanna Feel You Close’ was so much fun to write. Since it’s about the art of pottery, I dug into youtube and watched so many pottery tutorials, and they were all so satifying to watch. I loved it so much honestly

Fics you were nervous to post: For some reason I am nervous every time I post a fic, but I was really nervous to post ‘We All Have Our Scars’. My readers assured me that they really wanted to read it so I eventually did post it and it turned out to be one of my ‘biggest hits’.

How do you choose your titles: 99% of the time I use lyrics from songs. I’ll be listening to a song and hear a certain sentence and go like yesss that is the one. I chose ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ eventhough it has nothing to do with the topic of that fic. I just had no idea what to name that one and was like eh why not

Do you outline? I am too big of a chaotic mess to bother with that :)

Complete number of fics: On Ao3 I posted 21 works and on Wattpad just 1 (which was just some one shots together)

In-progress number of fics: I currently have 5 drafts on Ao3 but I have tons of wip’s in my notes. Most of them probably won’t ever see the light of day

Coming soon/not yet started: Idk when, but I have some Madam Spellman smut coming up, based on a brief scene from Part 3. I also have a super angsty Zarie one shot nearly ready but I’m not sure if I should post it cause I feel like I made them look toxic

Today I was planning on starting a fic in which Zelda gets a new pet instead of Vinnie T and maybe another one where Marie and Zelda do facemasks together but idk

Prompts? I love them, but the thing is: when I ask for prompts, I often get a bunch of them and then I start writing all of them and then I get writer’s block and then I forget about most of them. So I still owe a lot of people a fic which I’m very sorry about :/

Upcoming works you’re most excited about: I am SUPER excited about the Madam Spellman Karaoke Bar AU! I am currently writing. I am also considering finishing the Madam Spellman Lesbian Bar AU! I started about 6 months ago, but idk. I really like what I already wrote, but I forgot the plotline I had in mind

On Christmas I’m going to post a Zarie Christmas Special and I am really excited about that too cause it’s the first holiday themed fic I wrote.

Tagging: @16sydd16 @seriousoncer @kryptonianfool @spellmanmanor and everyone else who would like to do this :)) Feel free to ignore this of course

Shoutout to @tiburme for tagging me~!

Rules: Name 10 favorite characters from 10 different things and then tag 10 people.

Oh, massive spoilers below btw.

1. Gon Freecss from Hunter x Hunter: My favorite shounen protagonist by far. At first you think he’s your typical happy-go-lucky bouncy boye :D who definitely doesn’t have abandonment issues or self-destructive tendencies that literally actually almost kill him later on, and then, uwu... The amount of complexity that Gon has as a protagonist who hardly ever has stand-alone development is nothing short of astounding. How during the Chimera Ant Art his characterization totally dips off to the side to become an unknowable entity even to the audience, while still retaining amazing character development regardless -- not to mention how brilliantly daring his decision to threaten Komugi is that nearly every other author with such a happy-go-lucky protagonist would shy away from in cowardice -- is absolutely surreal to me. The more I think and write about Gon, the more I fall in love with him. If I ever meet his father, and by that I mean his real father, the creator, Togashi, I have nothing else to say but,,, well done, sir.

2. Tanjirou Kamado from Demon Slayer: I’m really hoping the Demon Slayer movie comes out soon because I absolutely love this boy and how charming he is. Unlike most protagonists, not just of shounen anime but of seemingly macho story lines that involve power-ups and training in general, Tanjirou never lets go of his kind heart. (Welp, except maybe in some cases when he’s facing the Upper Moons later on -- I haven’t caught up yet -- but WE’RE GONNA IGNORE THAT for now.) From the beginning, Tanjirou’s kindness isn’t an obstacle holding back his power, though other characters pose it that way, but rather he cultivates his empathy to grant peace to the demons he faces. He smiles in the face of anyone who treats him poorly because of his cluelessness, and that’s just so heartwarming to see, and dare I say subversive to the hardened, calculating, and cocky male protagonists we so often get. Good job, Gotouge.

3. Joseph Joestar from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Giorno Giovanna was a close second, but I gotta go with Joseph. He’s the one who made me fall in love with the series, and with the later parts too. Unlike Jonathan Joestar, who was chivalrous and manly, Joseph was a riot: colorful, arrogant, funny, but also extremely clever. I absolutely loved his, “Next you’ll say...!” because at first I expected it to just be him being an overconfident asshole and eventually he’d be proven wrong at the ~Dai Pinchi Moment~ (please excuse my weeb speech, I legit didn’t know what else to call it), but then he hit the mark every time and eventually I was just waiting for when he’d pull that out and it was so hype. Also I surely can’t forget his transformation as an old dude in Part 3 -- him screaming “OOHHHH MY GAAAWDDDA!” and “HOLY SHIIIT!” murdered me every time. And of course, last but not least, the raw fucking emotion when Caeser died -- the dude actually gave a shit and wasn’t made entirely of wit and absurdity, but heart too. Joseph set the tone for what JJBA was as a whole for me (fuck off with that “but Part 3/Part 4 is the best Part” bullshit, Part 2 will always be top tier for me because of Joseph Joestar’s brilliant, bright, and beautiful absurdity -- but Part 5 was really good too). Araki really is a genius.

4. Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: My love for this series is a bit older than the series I’ve already mentioned, and TLoZ: TP was actually probably the first time I got seriously obsessed with a fandom. I love all the Links in their own ways, but Twilight Princess really drove home the “lone wolf chosen by the gods, fighting against the world” narrative for me. It made me feel important and strong at a time when no one cared about me. Seeing Link struggle silently through his quest with villagers who meant well but did nothing for him, and Midna who started out as a reluctant acquaintance and eventually became so much more, meant so much to me at the time I played the game. I will always love Twilight Princess the most because of what it did for me at one of the darkest times in my life, and because I felt completely and utterly immersed in every part of the story and gameplay through Link’s character, who was, and in many ways, still is, so relatable to me: Silent courage really is what I use to get through every day.

5. Greedling from Fullmetal Alchemist (Brotherhood): For once I’m not naming the protagonist of a series! Lissen, I still smile whenever I see the slightest reference to Edward Elric, but now he’s more of my childhood love. He’s just a part of my personality already? LOL. Anyway, FMA(B) has so many good characters that choosing just one doesn’t feel right (I mean, same with HxH tho). I say Greedling because that encompasses both Ling and Greed though, two of my favorite characters from the series! Ling’s apparent childishness in constantly running away from fights, making other people pay for his food, and failing to grasp the seriousness of the situation (until Lan Fan’s arm gets cut off lol oops) is so adorable and entertaining. He’s the best kind of idiot asshole, and I especially love how he teases Ed. After him and Greed fuse, Ling’s stout heart becomes even more apparent, as he constantly eggs Greed on to remember his past life, his friends, and become someone outside of Father/the Dwarf in the Flask. Conversely, Greed’s nonchalance and (of course) avarice are nothing short of entertaining and heartbreaking. Greed’s realization at the end, when he finally admitted to himself that what he wanted all along were “friends like these,” completely crushed me the first few times I watched FMAB. And when he’s screaming in the tunnels under Central after having killed Bido, remembering his friends, and he doesn’t understand why, and later attacks Wrath/King Bradley... that shit was so entertaining and cathartic to watch. None of his development feels like forced redemption, nor like it was too little development, since it mostly happens in the background and away from the “validating eyes” of the protagonists other than Ling. And at the end, when Ling and Greed work together to take down Bradley and all the soldiers invading Central HQ... it’s so beautiful. Many have said this before but I’ll say it again: Hiromu Arakawa wrote the perfect series.

6. Ciel Phantomhive from Black Butler: Another protagonist! And another older obsession of mine. Ciel remains in my mind to this day mainly for his heartlessness in relation to his age, and the fluidity with which Toboso tells his story. Normally when authors write younger characters into their serious stories, they make “child adults” of sorts, but Ciel feels totally realistic to the extent that he is both childish and adult to me. Obviously, Ciel is responsible and (normally) level-headed due to being the head of the Phantomhive household, but also from trauma. Yet, his cruelty at times is what sticks in my mind the most: You really feel that he’s someone who feels he’s been abandoned by the entire world, given his experiences, and that makes him disregard or use others sometimes in order to reach his own ends. Normally, authors would be too cowardly to let their protagonists, let alone child protagonists, go to such lengths to avenge their family, or carry out their duty as the dog of the military (looking at you, Arakawa -- she’s still a goddess tho). But Ciel is unforgiving. He lies to Snake and tells him his troupe is still alive. He murders the entire troupe because he’s triggered -- a childish decision, but driven with adult-like power due to trauma. It’s devastatingly riveting, and I cannot forget his unrelenting, contained rage to this day.

7. Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars: This one may come as a shock to most of you, because I hardly ever post Star Wars let alone Ahsoka content on here -- but it’s true. Other than the blatant, half-assedly inserted heteroromantic partner they gave Ahsoka in, like, idk season 3??, Ahsoka is a fucking goddess. From her origin as a wee baby in the earlier seasons who didn’t really know what she was doing and was a bit of a cocky brat, to how she matures and becomes wise, resourceful, and fierce in the later seasons, I just love Ahsoka’s design and character to this day. The episodes that stick in my mind aside from the obvious are when she’s possessed by the Dark Side of the Force on that Force balance planet and her arrogance becomes so exaggerated that she threatens and attacks Anakin, her teacher. It was so fucking cathartic. Normally female characters, let alone young protagonist female characters, are never allowed to show the ugly sides of themselves in fiction, since women are always portrayed as perfect beautiful majestic angels or some bullshit like that. (Or they’re cocky/sexy/slutty villain women. ‘Kay then.) Seeing Ahsoka devolve into her basal desires and come out of it like hardly anything happened and she’s still a perfectly valid character was so amazing to see on a meta level; it wasn’t about her learning a lesson or anything, it was a thing that happened like any other character and then they moved the fuck on. I also distinctly remember the episode where she was trapped on that island/planet and she had to take out the aliens that were after her all by herself. That was so fucking empowering to watch and god fucking dammit I need to rewatch this series now. And of course, let us not forget the fact that the entire time, we were all expecting Ahsoka to just be another domino in Anakin’s downfall -- and she was, but not through the refrigerator -- but through walking away from it all. That was so powerful and moving -- and heartbreaking. By the end of TCW, her character carried weight and agency in the narrative, and god, I only wish whoever wrote her could write more female characters in the future.

8. Tigress from Kung Fu Panda: Maybe another surprise, but I think she deserves this spot. Tigress is a female character who starts out as kind of an antagonist, given how she outright tells Po to leave the kung fu temple within the first day of him arriving. She’s even jealous of the fact that he’s chosen as the Dragon Warrior rather than her -- but that’s due to the backwash of years of trying to live up to the memory of Tai Lung in order to please Shifu (which means “master” in Chinese but ok I’ll shut up now), her master and mentor over the years. She never says this out loud in the movie, which is what makes her character more believable. Others even joke about how stoic she is (and not in bad taste). Her character development is definitely present for those who are looking -- but I put her on this list because I’m so happy the movie doesn’t make it some huge dramatic emotional thing, because so often in media women are depicted as being overly-emotional and here Tigress is just a hurt child trying to make her mentor happy. But, she gets over it, her and Po become allies, even friends to each other -- she and Po talk like equals in the second and third movies, and she even tells him to back out of the fight with Lord Shen and he listens (I mean he doesn’t stay put but he doesn’t undermine her opinion either lol, like most jokesy protagonists of Western media would -- looking at you, Marvel). I like Tigress because she’s an antagonist without being a bitch, she’s powerful without being overpowered, and she’s not sexualized despite being a well-trained, at times jealous, and even emotionally awkward kung fu master. And I almost forgot to mention the best part: There is never an indication of romance between her and Po, or any other character, for that matter. She’s perfectly capable, complex, and lovely on her own terms. And that’s that on THAT.

9. Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit: I wanted to include at least one character protagonist from a live-action movie/book, lol. I feel like Bilbo’s pretty self-explanatory. He doesn’t wanna go on an adventure because he likes his doilies and warm sheets, but then Gandalf seduces him with the call to the outside world and possible death (LOL), and he fucking goes for it, grumbling the entire time. Isn’t that what any of us would do if given such a proposition? I like to think so. Bilbo obviously has his own gradual, evil transformation with the One Ring, becomes murderous and uses it to disappear, and grows a strong bromance with the King Under the Mountain (which happens in both the movie and the book), but I think what I like about him is that he really feels... down-to-earth? Like even though the adventure changes him, it never feels like he’s been stretched in a way that makes his core character traits of grumbling and bluntness disappear. He gets better at the whole adventuring thing, for sure, but he remains Bilbo, at least, to me, throughout the journey. It was heartwrenching watching him try to save Thorin in The Battle of Five Armies, honestly, but Bilbo’s the kind of character that I feel like has his own story and mythology aside from The Hobbit, and maybe that’s just the result of J.R.R. Tolkien writing the lore for every aspect of his universe, but My Point Still Stands. He feels like his own man apart from the series he’s in, yet he’s still so much fun in his series.

10. Barley Lightfoot from Onward: And last, this one is because I saw Onward yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by the characterization in it -- and anyone who thinks differently can kiss my *ss. :) I was not expecting the movie to take the twist of fleshing out the “annoying” (more like adorable) overconfident nerdy big brother. Normally those characters are swiped to the side because God Forbid The Comic Relief Have Any Sadness In Them. I was expecting the movie to focus on Ian’s journey to meet his fatha and that the movie would pull something stupid at the end like “oh actually there’s another phoenix gem underneath the school” or “actually since only his legs appeared then you still have 24 hours with him” or some shit like that, but I guess this isn’t an anime so those absurdist explanations wouldn’t hold water anyway. But still, for a kid’s movie, I was NOT expecting this movie to go so hard with the characterization. For once, the main character doesn’t get what he wants at the end, and instead realizes it’s his big brother, Barley, who’s been looking out for him his entire life. Meeting his dad would betray that reality. What happens instead is that the lovable big brother never actually said goodbye to their dad before he died, because when their dad got sick, said brother ran away from the hospital room in fear of all the life-sustaining equipment. (Is this some meta thing about Chris Pratt and Guardians of the Galaxy? Off topic and call me stupid, but I didn’t realize Chris Pratt plays him until I saw everyone freaking out about it afterward on Tumblr laksjdflak.) So instead, the lovable big brother talks to the dad at the end, and unconfident younger brother grows confidence and thanks big bro for being with him his entire life. It was so touching, dude. I cry. But the moment that sticks in my mind the most was when Ian was crossing the invisible bridge... Ian needed to have confidence in himself to be able to cross over a chasm in their path, and Barley knew that if Ian didn’t believe in himself, he would fall and die. They tie a rope around Ian for good measure, and Barley encourages him the entire way, but halfway over, the rope comes loose and slips off. Barley sees this and starts panicking, but of course continues to encourage Ian so that Ian will get to the other side. What got to me wasn’t the fact that he faked it for Ian, but that there are actual tears running down his face as he’s encouraging Ian to get to the other side, because he knows otherwise Ian wouldn’t have the confidence and would fall to his death. Like dude, that raw, complex emotion in a kid’s movie?! DUDE?! I was fucking surprised. The clear anxiety and grief in Barley’s face as Ian’s totally clueless and even dancing around in the air was just too much, omfg. Of course, then it’s played off for laughs, but... I guess that makes sense for the annoying overconfident nerdy big bro character. :’)

Most favorite genre? Comedy, action,adventure... and (it will go kinda offtopic but its related to a genre) nowadays I feel like i'm really getting attached to mecha shows. I liked Evangelion (not a favorite, but still really good) in my teenage years along with Code Geass (didnt see season 2 yet tho, fuck me), I used to enjoy Aldnoah.Zero 1st season a lot (until it went to shit, this show traumatized me) and since last year I started checking out Gundam animes, I was able to finish a few ones, even the 1st one despite being so old... so uhh yeah I joined the Sunrise/Bandai mecha empire, it wont be long until i buy a gunpla lmao. 5. Least favorite genres? Idk... kinda hard to pick one. Maybe some slice of life stuff with a lot of moe? Tried watching things like K-ON and... i couldnt resist lmao. 6. Favorite character/s? Kaneki, Touka and Eto (Tokyo Ghoul), Yato (Noragami), Kotomine Kirei, Archer and Gilgamesh (Fate series), Setsuna (Gundam 00), Char Aznable (Gundam/Gundam Zeta), Koyomi Araragi and Suruga Kanbaru (Monogatari series), Chrollo Lucifer and Killua (Hunter x Hunter), Death the Kid (Soul Eater), Roy Mustang (Fullmetal Alchemist), Joseph Joestar (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), Aigis and Elizabeth (Persona 3), Golbez, Kain and Rydia (Final Fantasy IV), Squall Leonhart (Final Fantasy VIII), Zidane (Final Fantasy IX), Ike (Fire Emblem), Dante (Devil May Cry), Laharl (Disgaea),  D.va, Tracer, Mercy and Mei (Overwatch), Darth Sidious, Han Solo and Obi Wan Kenobi (Star Wars), Demon Hunter (Diablo 3; okay its only a class in game but I love the female DH okay?), Link and Sheik (Legend of Zelda; ok Sheik is Zelda, so I guess both? haha)... OKAY THATS ENOUGH FOR TODAY, see, this is why I say those top 10 characters arent enough LMAO 7. Least favorite character/s? Kirino from Ore no Imouto, Kirito from Sword Art Online, Miyuki Shiba from Mahouka, Yuka from 11eyes, many characters from Bleach, Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist (people who watched any version can already imagine why I hate him), Seryuu from Akame ga Kill (only because she is a legitimate hypocrite and piece of shit in the story) aaaand the list goes on. 8. Qualities you like in a character? Well, idk what to list, but feeling kinda unique and having personalities that stand out in the show? Someone who can singlehandedly carry an anime (like Yato would do in Noragami for me) by him/herself, etc 9. Short or long anime? Short animes. Idk how im going to watch a long anime anymore... maybe the 50/60 episodes ones, but going for the 100/200 list is harder to me nowadays :( 10. Anime or manga? Anime. But mangas tend to be better when it comes to plot since some adaptations are just a trainwreck (hi tokyo ghoul)... 11. How do you choose the anime you watch? Recommendations, suggestions, checking out synopsis and genre, seeing if its similar to something i enjoy... usually these are the ways i choose something. OR also if I really feel like watching something and taking a break from some anime genre. 12. Skip or listen to intros/outros? I skip after watching in the first episodes... but whenever i watch any last episode, i tend to not do that. 13. How do you cope if your friends or family don’t like you watching anime? I don't mind... unless someone starts acting like a fucking retard and being ignorant about it, not even respecting my opinion etc. 14. Do you stop an anime midway if you don’t like it? I tend to forget or get lazy even if I like some animes... so when it comes to stuff i dont like and i think they are bad: i drop them. UNLESS some kind of miracle forces me to continue it until the end... or the "so bad its good" vibe helps too.

I’ve been tagged!

Thanks to @ghiraheeheeheem for tagging me

Rules: Answer all questions, add one question of your own and tag as many people as there are questions you feel like.

1. Coke or Pepsi: Dr Pepper, honestly. But I guess Coke if I have to choose.

2. Disney or Dreamworks: They’re both really good, honestly, but I guess Disney has more of a nostalgia factor. They also have AMAZING villain songs.

3. Coffee or Tea: Coffee, but since I injured my knee, I’ve had to switch to tea. Otherwise the acidity bothers it.

4. Books or Movies: Books yesssssssssssssssssssss

5. Windows or Mac: I actually really like Apple products, but the company is a giant bag of dicks that extorts their customers so I’m staying with Windows.

6. DC or Marvel: Yikes. I like DC more, but the comic reboot made me furious. I still haven’t forgiven them for their treatment of Tim Drake. I guess the Marvel comics are better, but the Marvel movies have become really bad lately. I know, that’s an unpopular opinion. I don’t hate them, I just think they could be way better.

7. Xbox or Playstation: Playstation, definitely. Although I have been, and always will be, a child of Nintendo forever. As long as they keep making Pokemon and Zelda games, I’m theirs.

8. Dragon Age or Mass Effect: Dragon Age has a lot of problems, but I like it way better than Mass Effect. I’m just not really into the story that Mass Effect brings to the table. It’s not bad, it’s just not for me.

9. Night Owl or Early Rise: look man don’t wake me up just let me sleep forever morning is for literally anyone else

10. Cards or Chess: I’m terrible at both, but cards.

11. Chocolate or Vanilla: Yes.

12. Vans or Converse: *extreme shrugging motion*

13. Lavellan, Trevelyan, Cadash or Adaar: Adaar was my first one, so yes. But Cadash and Lavellan are also amazing. Not a fan of playing humans in DA, it’s boring.

14. Fluff or Angst: Angst, I guess. I’m a huge fan of whump fics. 

15. Beach or Forest: beeeeeaaaaaach gimme that SUN

16. Dogs or Cats: why do you ask this question what kind of monster are you they are both perfect and wonderful and there should never be a choice

17. Clear Skies or Rain: rain because thunderstorms are so, so soothing

18. Cooking or Eating Out: i fucking LOVE to cook, it’s like mad science but you can eat it and i don’t always like to toot my own horn but i’m a pretty damn good cook

19. Spicy Food or Mild Food: SPICY GIMME THAT HEAT also i lived in louisiana for several years so i had to get used to it or else just cry a lot

20. Halloween/Samhain or Solstice/Yule/Christmas: Halloween is my favorite month of the year.

21. Would you rather forever be a little too cold or a little too hot : I despise being cold with every fiber of my tiny body. It’s the actual worst and it takes me forever to get warm again.

22. If you could have a superpower, what would it be?: Teleportation.

23. Animation or Live Action: Boy am I just NOT a fan of live action versions of animated stuff. Is that what this question is about? I dunno

24. Paragon or Renegade: The system is stupid and makes no sense but if we’re talking “lawful or chaotic” instead of some weird “good or evil” slider then I’m solidly chaotic.

25. Baths or Showers: showers, but i really enjoy a good bath once in a while, with bath salts and bath bombs and a cold beer 

26. Team Cap or Team Iron Man: This was a fucking awful movie. No.

27. Fantasy or Sci-Fi: Okay, so, I like watching Sci-Fi tv shows more than I like watching fantasty shows, but in games and books, i prefer fantasy to sci-fi. I have no idea why that is.

28. Do you have a favorite quote? If so, what is it?:

29. YouTube or Netflix: Eh, depends on what i’m in the mood for

30. Harry Potter or Percy Jackson: Harry Potter forever and ever and ever

31. When You Feel Accomplished: Usually after I write. Working on my personal projects brings me the greatest sense of achievement. But hey, doing stupidly hard video game challenges also does that for me at the high cost of all of my suffering. Guess which one I do more often?

32. Star Wars or Star Trek: They are not the same thing! They are very different universes with very different focuses! We can like both of them equally! I have no idea why i feel so strongly about this

33. Paperback Books or Hardback Books: Paperback

34. horror or rom-com: Rom-coms are super boring to me. It’s always the same straight white couple that goes through the same storyline. No. Horror is my absolute favorite genre of anything! It’s so, so good and such a potent storytelling tool even in stories that don’t feature it as the predominant genre. I HAVE A LOT OF STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT HORROR

35. tv shows or movies: movies

36. favorite animal: A FUCKING DRAGON or snakes, snakes are cool

37. favorite genre of music: ???????i just listen to literally all kinds of shit?????

38. least favorite book: Unpopular Opinion - Eragon. My god I hate that series. It’s SO BAD.

39. favourite season: Summer!

40. song that’s currently stuck in your head: all the music from Breath of the Wild, Kass’s song that he plays is driving me insane send help

41. what kind of pyjama’s do you wear? T-Shirt and pajama pants

42. Handwriting or Typing? typing

43. If you can only choose one song to be played at your funeral, what would it be?: Some kind of insane rock song? Something ridiculously silly

44. What is your go to book/movie/tv show that you immediately find solace in when you feel down?: I generally play Zelda to make myself feel better, but I’ll also watch my favorite horror movies if I’m sick. 

45. “Yer a wizard/witch, Y/N” - your reaction? idk, it’s not that funny a meme?

46. Are you generally a messy or organized person?: Both, probably. I mean, everything LOOKS like a trash pit, but an organized pit.

47. What’s your go to comfort food?: Spaghetti, definitely.

48. Favorite musical instrument?: Guitar

49. Do you consider yourself to be an honest person?: Absolutely, lying takes way too much effort because you have to remember what your lies were and who has that kind of time?????

50: What’s your favorite video game, and why?: Zelda, obviously, because it’s a story about how you don’t have to be big or super strong or super capable, it’s about just having the courage to do the right thing even if you’re young and tiny, or stuck in the wrong form, or terrified and scared, or from a simple background. I have a lot of feelings about this series.
