7 questions meme, part 2! If you haven't gotten questions from me and want some, let me know~

Answers to questions from ashkahchan and darkicedragon.

questions from ashkahchan
1.) Out of all your clothes, which is your favorite piece of clothing?
A brown faux suede trenchcoat of mine that's lined with fur on the inside. I wear this every winter. It is so nice and warm. And looks good on me. And is machine-washable and durable. I like trenchcoats and long jackets. I used to wear peacoats as well (they were gifts) but I try not to buy anything that's not machine washable because I don't like doing dry-cleaning.

2.) What is your favorite type of feline?
Housecat. Karupin. XD;

3.) You've won the lottery. What's the first thing you buy with your money?
Manga. Even more than I buy now, haha. (I already buy a lot) I would buy all the special editions that are too expensive to buy especially when I already have the normal editions. But money is not all that huge an issue with my manga buying as I don't spend my money on much other stuff... it's more that I don't have space for it, so perhaps what I need is a house, but I don't want to move, so... XD; But more money is always good. I would get myself better health issurance. The first thing I woud do is put the money in the bank though. =P And use it later.

4.) Do you play card games, and if so, which one do you like to play the most?
I don't play card games much. As for board games, I used to like Apples to Apples a lot. And Pictionary. :)

5.) If you were allowed one, free, one-way flight to anywhere in the world, where would it be?
It's only one-way...? I would probably not go... as I need a way to return! If I have to use the ticket and go somewhere, I'd go to Taiwan. At least I have relatives there so I wouldn't completely be by myself. And then I can have fun after knowing I'm not lost or anything. =P

6.) A mysterious package arrives with your name on it, but no return address. Do you open it or get rid of it?
...I would open it. It's highly likely it might be from someone I know online. It's happened before. It did make me wonder though, before I opened it.

7.) You have ten dollors you can spend at the local ice cream shop. What do you buy?
That's a lot of money for ice cream! I would buy chocolate chip ice cream, or a mix of vanilla and strawberry if there's no chocolate chip. If they also do toppings, I like sprinkles and M&M's. And Kitkat.


questions from darkicedragon
1. What's your first memory?
I don't think I remember that far. XD; But I do remember the day before I went to school for the first time. I was so worried about going because I was still carrying around my milk bottle, but I wasn't going to be able to bring it with me to school, was I? (While other kids used pacifiers, I bit my milk bottle like one, LOL, so I went around dangling a milk bottle...). I like to bite things... (I still do this... just with straws now).

In the end, I didn't bring my milk bottle with me.

2. If Tekatme ended up in another canon, what would that be and how would he react to the characters/situation? (Tekatme is a hotheaded OC of mine I wrote for NaNoWriMo)
Oh, it would be so fun to toss him into other canons. He would want to be in one where there are lots of fights going on. I think he would have a grand time with Arctic Fox (from 1/2 Prince) and Ezart (from Eclipse Hunter) with how much they like to fight strong people and improve.

Tekatme really likes weapons though, so he would love getting to know a weapon maker. (In fact, why hasn't he pestered Ikatchi yet...haha...) *trying to think of a series with a weapon maker* Hm, okay, if not for the strange technology, Tekatme would fit right in with Eclipse Hunter because there are a lot of cool weapons in that series. XD; And... he could be buddy-buddy with Ezart and ZhaoSuo (from No Hero).

Scenarios:

1. Tekatme in Fullmetal Alchemist: You call that alchemy? They call it magic in my world. *snaps fingers, flames burst out* ...I am not a chimera!
2. Tekatme in Noblesse: You smell funny.
3. Tekatme in Eclipse Hunter: Lord, I thought Rykatu was bad enough... you're a real piece of work, you know? (Daren) I'm a piece of work?
4. Tekatme in 1/2 Prince: So what do I have to do to fight you? Become a guard...again? Don't tell me I have to sit on a barrel for hours with nothing happening at all?
5. Tekatme in Legend of Sun Knight: *eyes light up at the Divine Sun Sword* Where can I get myself one? What? I have to become one of the Twelve Holy Knights for that? I'm too old to go to the selections? *grumbles grumbles* Well FINE, I don't want to become a holy knight anyway. Warriors are so much cooler.

Haha, this makes me want to finish my NaNo. =P

3. If you could live in any canon, what would it be?
I would want to live somewhere modern, with electricity and running water. 1/2 Prince canon is not bad. They seem to have some convenient technology (people can travel from one place to the next instantly!), and the world's not being destroyed (or well, things don't get that dire). Virtual games with a lot of realism sound pretty cool, especially if you can play them in your sleep, haha. Time-saving. ;) Many other canons... end of the world scenarios happen way too much for me to be comfortable living there. XD;

4. What's the best thing you've ever seen in your life? (film/image/real life/anything)
Hm, I don't know about "best" thing, but UP always makes me cry. ;____; No matter how many times I watch it. I cried in the theaters. I sniffled when I watched it at home. I find it very touching and inspirational. :)

When I think about something being good, it's usually something that stirs up strong emotion from me, and the feeling stays with me afterward. It could be me being touched, me finding something beautiful, etc.

5. Any burning ideas for fanfics/originalfic that you really want to write right now?
I've been really wanting to write an AU story where Grisia Sun (from the Legend of Sun Knight) became the Pope instead of the Sun Knight. I started writing a bit of it, but noooo, I need to finish Bittersweet Sweetness first! I also can't decide what kind of style I want to use throughout this story. 1st person... or 3rd person... which character should narrate... and the premise. There are two premises I'm considering.

1. The Grisia we know accidentally falls into this alternate dimension and has to figure out who he is there. Cue confusion.
2. A complete AU where Grisia has always been the Pope. The other holy knights slowly meet their new Pope one by one. Roland is the Sun Knight (how does he fare?) If I go this route, I was thinking I'd feature Roland as the POV character, with his thoughts on Grisia. And then perhaps switch to other characters as they meet Grisia.

In any case, Grisia would grow up to be even stingier than he is now, hahahah. XD;

I have a few other ideas I've jotted down that I want to write too, but they'll probably never see the light of day. Though with how darkicedragon and Kay Hau have been writing Noblesse/Legend of Sun Knight crossovers, now I want one where Noblesse characters get scattered across the continent in LSK and need to find their way back together.

Only Rai can speak the language (LOL) because of his ability to assimilate new languages. So everyone needs to go to him for translations. Except he doesn't speak much at all. XD

I really need to finish my fics so I can start new projects too. XD

6. Are there any characters that you like, but wouldn't so much if you had to interact with them in real life?
A lot of characters I like...I would not want to meet. XD; Like... Soren from Fire Emblem 9/10. I adore him as a character, but I'm not sure I can handle his biting words. I also love Loki from Thor... but uh, I would not want to meet him. Hao from Shaman King...he'd probably kill me. Sun from Legend of Sun Knight? OMG, he would give me a headache, and I'd be afraid if he was scheming something against me. =x Or cursing me in his mind. If I had to interact with someone like Sun, I would probably end up cursing that person in my mind for being so manipulative. XD

7. Rykatu and Rai meet. What happens?
LOL. Well if this is Rykatu from Part II where he's lost his memories, then...

Rykatu: ...
Rai: ...
*Rai picks up a cup of tea*
*Rykatu copies him*

...I give up. They won't ever speak to each other, haha, but...

*Frankenstein comes in with ramen*
*Rai watches the ramen grow*
*Rykatu tries to start eating*
Rai: No.
*Rykatu stops*
Rai: Wait for it to grow.
*Rykatu stares at the ramen*

...Looks like Rai actually needs to talk for them. XD;; Okay, how about another scenario.

*Rai swipes at a trail of blood from Rykatu's cheek.*
Rai: Awaken.

KLDJA;SFDJKLA;11 Oh wait, that should happen in my own plot and not in a crossover. XD;; Rai... take better care of yourself. Stop using your powers!


Went to Kinokuniya today and picked up volume 09 of the Tenipuri Kanzenban s2. Yagyuu and Niou on the cover. <3333 My store never had this in stock! Or if they did, they sold out, so I had to special order it. =/ I ended up getting v10 before I got volume 9. The three page comic at the end of volume 9 is a continuation of the beetle match between Atobe and Shiraishi, haha. Yagyuu in casual clothes on the inside~ ♥ This volume is so worth it.

I also picked up
-Ouji to Majou to Himegimi to v1 (there are more volumes out, but I wanted to see if I liked this series. It's about a prince who's reincarnated as a girl, and a bunch of princesses who are reincarnated as guys. They were all cursed by a witch)
-Otomen v14
-Yukarism v1-2 (also about reincarnation. girl reincarnated as a guy XD;; )
-Shiawase Shokutaku (a collection of short manga by Minami Maki who draws Seiyuu Ka + Special A)
-Magic Kaito special edition volume 4 (Whoot, looks like there'll also be a volume 5 of Magic Kaito!)
-Gyakuten Kenji artbook (finally I get to see what Ema Skye's shoes look like! =P I so needed this when I was cosplaying her)

Usotsuki Lily v6 should be out, but my store doesn't have it in stock. =/ A good chunk of what I buy lately... are genderbenders.

I don't like dry cleaning, either.

Oh, you got volume 9? Isn't is just gorgeous? I was so excited when I got mine in the mail. (I had to buy it online.) I love Niou's Illusion and Yagyuu's casual clothes. <3 I'm waiting to buy volumes 11 & 12 together hopefully.

Also, I could go for a good genderbender after reading this post. LOL

[lucathia]

I've never done dry cleaning at home, but I heard there's a way to do it... I rather just not deal with it.

Volume 9 is beautiful! So worth it! I flipped through it, and the content includes my favorite matches, so even better. My store had all of the volumes except this one. I mostly bought the others without having to special order the volume. Maybe there are other Niou & Yagyuu fans about that snatched this volume right away, haha. I know I snatched Houkago no Oujisama v2 right away, and now it looks like they still don't have any extra stock.

I love genderbenders. :3 I've curbed most of my manga buying, but I still collect genderbenders... even though the two shelves I dedicated to genderbenders can no longer hold anymore. XD;

[alexdonnelly.livejournal.com]

I've never done it at home either but my sister used to take stuff to the dry cleaners. I always thought it was too much hassle and expense.

That's how I feel about volume 10! (And Volume 9, actually.) Ironic they didn't have Volume 9 for you, but I suppose there are a lot of Niou and Yagyuu fans. I envy you being able to go and buy these at a store. It's probably best that I can't do the same because I would probably get attracted to more than just tenipuri and spend too much money. XD;;

I've never read any genderbender manga but I've read a lot of fan-fiction and perhaps saw one drama. That counts, right? I like that you organize your manga by genre! Haha, your poor bookshelves.

[lucathia]

It is a lot of hassle! So now I make sure to buy clothes that don't need to be dry-cleaned.

I bought volume 10 but I haven't flipped through it yet. Sanada looks so awesome on the cover! :D Haha, yeah, buying from a physical store means I pick up new series without meaning to sometimes. :3 But I usually know what I'm going to buy already.

I read a lot of gender bender manga. Less fanfic, though I like those too. Gender benders, I like crossdressing ones the best (I'm currently really liking Usotsuki Lily and Seiyuu ka). Drama totally counts! Which drama is this? :3 I've watched a few dramas that have to do with genderbending (I mostly only watched drama at all because of genderbendering, like Coffee Prince, You're Beautiful, Secret Garden for kdrama, Ikemen desu ne for jdrama).

I also have a section for sports manga. XD; This section is also overflowing because somehow sports series tend to be long.

[alexdonnelly.livejournal.com]

Haha, I just know tenipuri is hurting my wallet enough that any temptation to buy new manga could be disastrous. orz

I loved Coffee Prince. That was the first one I watched. I got through most of You're Beautiful before I got distracted by something else. I do intend to finish it though, along with Ikemen desu ne. I thought it was funny the Japanese remake happened so quickly.

[lucathia]

I loved the beginning of Coffee Prince a whole lot! Then it got a little melodramatic, but I liked the ending. :3 Overall, I enjoyed the series. I watched all of the You're Beautiful (loved the concerts~, though they always sang the same songs, haha). For Ikemen desu ne, I most just played it in the background while I did other stuff since the storyline's not too different from You're Beautiful. You saw more than one drama! XD

[alexdonnelly.livejournal.com]

KDramas usually do get a little too melodramatic and drag a bit for my taste. I think it's because they're always so long.

LOL I didn't really include You're Beautiful because I think I only got halfway through. I liked most of it, though. What was that one guy, Jeremy? They made him a little too stereotypical for me.

[lucathia]

Ikemen desu ne was nice in that it was... a fast-paced version of You're Beautiful, haha. Cut out a lot of the melodrama.

Oh, Jeremy was too stereotypical for you? I found him cute. :) But I didn't feel he made too huge an impact. I liked listening to his actor sing the main songs. (In Chinese too! Though, haha, I couldn't understand his Chinese...)

[alexdonnelly.livejournal.com]

Ooo, good to know!

I loved Jeremy! I just felt like they didn't really flesh out his character and left him kind of flat to fill in that role. Unless I just stopped watching too soon. I'll have to finish it and see. I didn't realize I liked the songs until I found myself humming one while doing my hair. LOL
