the origin of my username...

Back in the SNES days, there was a video game called Lufia. I guess I must've liked that name quite a bit. While I was trying to think of a name for an original character of mine, I came up with "Luthia" (though I couldn't figure out where that name came from at that time.) My character was supposed to have an affinity with cats, so I decided that "cat" had to be part of the name. So I stuck it in the middle...and the result was "Lucathia." It'd be weird trying to write a story with "Lucathia" as the main character now...since that name has become mine more than anything. It'd be like writing a self-insert.

The "Rykatu" part comes from me trying to think of more original characters. I uh, somehow decided that spelling "cat" with a "C" was not cool enough so I went with a "k." ^^; This character is well, a guy, and has an affinity with dragons. So I divided up "ryu" and stuck "kat" in the middle just like what I did with "Luthia." ^^; (I thought dragon in Japanese was ryu but it's actually ryuu but what did I know then??)

At ffnet, I went by "Lucathia" at first, but I wanted to hide from my RL friends since they all knew I went by that name online. So I changed it to Rykatu L., knowing that they wouldn't be able to find me that way. After awhile, I stopped wanting to hide, so I changed it back to Lucathia...but I didn't want people who only knew me as Rykatu to not be able to find me anymore...so I smushed the two usernames together.

To this day, I feel weird looking at my lj name. To me, these two names are both first names and just don't go together at all. They're meant to be names of separate people. My "Lucathia" character had an actual last name, which was "Lagata." I do have [livejournal.com profile] lucathia and [livejournal.com profile] rykatu as lj accounts too. [livejournal.com profile] lucathia is for RL posts and well, [livejournal.com profile] rykatu is just my random testing posts, like for testing layouts and stuff. I'd buy a rename token for this account, but it's not really worth it. X3;

Tagging...well, I think most people have already done this meme. I think I did it before too, just not in this much detail. ^^;

10 weird habits/little known facts...mostly little known facts since I don't know what would be considered a weird habit...

1. I'm slow. As in, it used to take me 1 to 2 hours just to eat dinner. Back in HS, I had trouble finishing eating during lunch. When one of my friends started eating slower (she's usually a fast eater) she joked that I was rubbing off on her.

2. I'm a horrible conversationalist. Or maybe it's better called as bad people skills. People say I'm shy, but I think it's just that I have no idea what to say usually and I rather not say anything at all if I don't have something meaningful to contribute.

3. I don't know how to ride a bike. Or swim. D:

4. My obsession with fishbones started around six/seven years ago when my aunt gave me a fishbone necklace.

5. I once broke my little toe jumping on the sofa with my cousin. After this Chinese doctor set it right again, I found out...I could move it. On its own. (I can't move any of my other toes separately)

6. My only non A grade that I received before university was a C...in P.E. 0_0;; That was in sixth grade.

7. I've attended Fanime for the past seven years. My first cosplay was of Tomoe from Rurouni Kenshin, though I didn't even get the color right. Very few people recognized me.

8. Quite a few of my anime/manga obsessions...started with the video game versions of them. 0_0;; Take Yu Yu Hakusho, for example. I saw my brother and my cousin playing a YYH fighting game on the SNES and was really intrigued. I read the manga afterwards. It wasn't until a long time afterwards that I managed to get tapes of the anime. My obsession with Tenipuri is another example. I liked it, sure, but I didn't get obsessed with it until after playing "Form the Strongest Team" on the PS2.

9. The first game I ever finished was...Pokemon Yellow, I think? I don't really remember. I do remember that I wasn't able to beat the Elite Four in Pokemon Red (that I started before Yellow). I ended up transferring my Yellow pokemon to Red...and beat it that way.

10. In 9th grade, one of my teachers had us write time-capsule letters that she said she'd give back to us four years later. I wrote a note to myself along the lines "Have you finished writing that fic (ENTER TITLE HERE) you started? Do you still like that guy?" Surprisingly, I did finish that fic (it was my very first fic ever. A truly horrid one. I've never taken it down though, so you can still find it.) and I don't like that guy anymore. The teacher never gave the letters to us though, so I don't remember what else I wrote to myself about.

Tagging...whoever wants to do it. ^^;



Because people are doing it and it's a great idea (seen on [livejournal.com profile] issen4, [livejournal.com profile] flonnebonne)

Top 10 animanga for me!

1. Yuu Yuu Hakusho
2. Rurouni Kenshin
3. Hikaru no Go
4. Dear Boys
5. Detective Conan
6. Prince of Tennis
7. Honey and Clover
8. Mekakushi no Kuni
9. Venus wa Kataomoi
10. Uninhabited Planet Survive



1. Yuu Yuu Hakusho
The first series I ever really got into and devoured the entire manga of. I read the Chinese versions and watched the anime with Chinese subtitles, so I only ever knew the character's by their "Chinese" translated names. It wasn't until I discovered fanfic that I actually learned their names. My love for green comes from er, Kurama's eye color. .////. I just love Kurama's character, and I love the world of YYH. (I much prefer YYH's version of Shinigami than Death Note's.)

2. Rurouni Kenshin
Before...a month ago, this would not have been so high up on the list. But I've started reading RK fics again, and that renewed my love of RK and of Soujiro. My first fic ever was about Soujiro. The historic stuff about the Bakumatsu and the Shinsengumi is really fascinating (though I understood nothing of it the first time I watched it)...and everyone in RK has a tragic past. I remember laughing at the RK intro sequence. I still laugh at it, actually.

3. Hikaru no Go
Is addicting. Super addicting. The music, the characters, the games! And growing up and all that. My brother and his friend started playing Go over the net (though I never started). But HnG really does make me want to play.

4. Dear Boys
Very under appreciated series. The artwork for the second act is breathtaking. I love the team dynamics. I really love the passing of time in the series...how the second years are now third years and there are freshmen on the team. It's something that I'd like to see in Tenipuri but know will never happen.

5. Detective Conan
Kaitou Kid. I get together with my brother to watch the DC movies that come out every year. DC is like a constant in our lives. Heh.

6. Prince of Tennis
The series in which my friends and I obsessed over during our days on the HS tennis club. Seriously. They've long since moved on, but I'm still here. I like it for the rival teams and the silly video games that result from the physic-defying moves.

7. Honey and Clover
Is the first series that made me cry. It wasn't just a sniffle either. It's not a series I'd reread or rewatch...unlike the others I listed above. A very poignant series.

8. Mekakushi no Kuni
Has the most beautiful friendships ever. I doubt any of you know of this series. But I love Namiki. He's perhaps my favorite character of all time.

9. Venus wa Kataomoi
I'm throwing out these obscure titles that no one has ever heard of before. But well, if you like Honey and Clover, this one has somewhat similar vibes. It's about college and life and relationships and figuring out just what you want to do with your life. Guy and girl fall in love with the same guy...

10. Uninhabited Planet Survive
Trying to survive in the wild, stranded from home in a technologically advanced world...pretty fascinating.

Others that might've made it on the list: Gakuen Alice, Detective Academy Q, Death Note, Fruits Basket.

ME THREE.

Haha, I've never completed any swimming courses. So any style of swimming that I know is usually pretty sloppy because it's self-taught XD; That and I haven't swam in ages...

Me too! And now I can't be bothered to even try anymore D:

YOU KNOW LUFIA!!! 0______________0!!! INSTANT WIN. <33333 and sugeee, that's some thought put into your names! :feels so unoriginal: xDD; so i guess nothing more was made of these cahracters? they sound interesting. O: (any descriptions, my art muse seems piqued.) but maa, i feel like the names go together well? for a while i wondered if this was your real name actually. xD;; though i still think it's hard to make a nickname out of...maybe luca? 8D

2/3, you are NOT alone. in fact, i think 2 sounds so strikingly similar to me that i'd suspect you to be me...but you're not. you're probably much cooler. xDD

@6 seriously? you are crazy. not even any b's? @______@ wow! that's like...amazing.

you def. are. ;D and no i do not!! i was traumatized by the ocean because of my dad at a young age and i lived on a hill for almost my entire life so... YOU ARE NOT ALONE! :'D

YES? PRZ RUKA-CHAN? :DDD

xDD yes, i can still remember being on my dad's shoulders, CRYING MY EYES OUT as wave after wave of water crashed into us and HE WOULD NOT LET ME DOWN. to this day i just...don't go to the beach. xD;; if i'm forced to i will soak my feet and walk around the sand trying to avoid jellyfish (or like, throw rocks at em... xD;;;) exactly! which is also why i never learned how to rollerblade. > >;; when i go i'm just sort of walking in the rink.

ahh, well maybe it would help if you were trying to get into some private highschool or something? xDD;;

ah~ Lufia~ how nostalgic~ I really like the old games in SNES! XD
interesting origin! you're good at creating names while I'm bad at it. ^^;;

ditto on number 2, 3 and 8. :D
better stay silent if doesn't have anything to say. ^^;;
can't ride and can't swim.... :3

YYH game in SNES?! O_O is it the one that collect your power and then press a button to release cool powers? I really like that one too! XD but I haven't read the manga and watch the anime yet. ^^;;

Uninhabited Planet Survive is one of my all-time favorite! XD I really like the storyline and sadly, this anime is not well-known. :3

I already did this meme so I'm gonna copy and paste it here, hopes it's okay with you. ^^;;

okay, it's actually a term in X (CLAMP). which means dreamseer or dreamgazer. and it doesn't have the dash but that I was so naive and followed an X fansite spelling thus in became yume-mi instead of yumemi. ^^;;
this username I use it around the internet. but sometimes, it seems that in certain places, someone have already use this username. >_>;;
I chose this name because I have the ability to foresee MY own future, not the Earth future or something like destiny! XD
but then, I realize that I can only see this future dream if I'm not too tired or stressed. It comes occasionally in my life. sometimes it makes me goes crazy (like Kotori in X). and I see a lot of deja vu because of the future dream. ^^;;

sounds weird, right?


WOW! *O* I loved that game too! XD That game is so much fun! Kurama is my favorite character to use on a fight! XD I'm having a hard time to change him into his youko form. ^^;; ah, I can't remember about Itsuki's powers. ^^;;

I played Lufia on the SNES! The music for the Fortress of Doom was my favourite theme by far.

Your anime list has a much higher coolness factor han mine. It has series that no one has ever heard of!

AH. Kaitou KID. There was a KID at AMA, but his hat was wrong, I stared at him for a really long time because I knew he was cosplaying KID, but it didn't look like it D: He didn't have a tophat, and instead of a monocle he had a eyepatch, WTF?

Might do those memes later

Lufia...hmm, never heard of that game *googles it XD*

XD Hehe, three accounts. XD: Well at least no one will take any of your names XDDD

Weird facts. Hehe, 2 is me too. And 3. ^^;;; yoshikochan says she'll teach me how to ride a bike. And swim though. She was pretty shocked when I told her I didn't know how. ^^;;;;;

Ooh there was this online e-mail time capsule thing. I think I wrote something like 5 years ago and had it sent to my e-mail (shocked I still use that e-mail, but hehe that's not changing anytime soon since everything goes to it XD). Yeah one of those feelings...can't remember what I wrote in it. Probably something about anime...maybe something about fanfics too, since I was really into that in HS (i still write some now too not as much though XD)

Yes, I can bike, though its been years and I'm really not that great at it ^^; (give me DDR any day)

I can try and teach you, though I'm self-taught myself. Its not much fun to play online unless you know someone you can play w/ because, if you don't, one of two things tend to happen - 1) you play someone who's WAY above your rank or 2) you play someone and when you're about to win, they sign off so it doesn't count as a loss to their names. That's why I just quite playing online

That is a very indepth explanation of your user name. @______@ I think it's really interesting. ^___^

I'm with you on #2. XD *is teh suck at talking face-to-face* I don't know how to swim either! It took a ridiculously long time to learn how to ride a bike... I don't think I remember how anymore. XD

All those anime sound interesting and I've seen some of them. Makes me want to rewatch them. X333 Dear Boys omg? I still remember the ending song. XDDDDDD

I fell far too much. I had training wheels for the longest time. XD And I know omg, I just stood at the corner of the pool on the shallow end. x_x

5566! I only know one song by them... Long Time No See? Yep. XD One of them is incredibly... bishounen. *o* I want to see the manga version. Even though I'm lazy downloading manga. XD;;

I'm afraid to fall for them like I'm afraid to fall for F4 because they're popular omg and I'll be searching for their songs forever. XD
