Anonymous asked: 1, 15, 25? :D
1. My first anime.
Vampire Hunter D. I remember being 10 and this kid came into school like, “I saw this cartoon on TV that wasn’t a cartoon,” and we all kinda looked confused, but he told us what channel it was on so I checked it out. Man, oh man, changed my life forever because now I’m hooked on it. Back then we called it Jap-animation or Japan-nimation, not anime, lol god the 90s were special.
My first ever series was Dragon ball. They only showed 6 episodes. I didn’t know until way later that there’s like 100+ episodes, the Red Ribbon Army, a tournament, all that stuff. Not until DBZ and the androids and they were like, “Goku remember the Red Ribbon Army,” and they showed flashbacks and I was like, “WTF IS THIS?!” ^^;;;
15. An anime that never gets old no matter how many times I watch it.
I have such a terrible answer for this. It’s the Fatal Fury movie. I have no idea why I love this movie so effing much. I think it’s because me and my wifey kinda bonded over it and would make fun of it. "Farewell, Terry BOGARD!“ And "Oooooh what a babe, but you’re not as cute as Andy!” And that song at the end. "OooooooooOOOOOH aaaaaaangel~“ And how the Sci-Fi (yes not SyFy back then) had to edit out Mai’s outfit like crazy, so her ass was fuzzed out a lot. Actually, Andy and Mai were like my 90s OTP before I knew what an OTP was, I was so happy when they got together :)
I recently got the dvd offline (found it for cheap which was great because normally it was spendy as shit) and rewatched it. Brought back a bunch of memories and I ended up really liking it still *__*
25. If any of my family and friends watch anime.
Friends hell yeah, definitely. Family… I don’t think anyone watches it as much as me, at least in my generation. They do a little? I think? I’m the weird one in the bunch I have no idea, but they have kids now and sometimes i hear how "oh my kid watches that too.” Whatever I’m an adult I need my titans.
HOWEVER!
I have a super cool story.
So my brother passed away when I was 13. He has two sons, one of which we still see and the other… I have no idea where he is. But anyhow, the son we see? So 7 years after my brother passed away we finally got a hold of his mom or whatever (I don’t know the whole story behind why this took so long) and my aunt brought him to my mom’s house for Thanksgiving one year. I was in college and hopped a bus to meet them. So we were seeing him for the first time in 7 years and we all cried our eyes out, because he looks just like my brother.
There was this feeling, you know, of what do you say to a kid you haven’t seen in 7 years. And 7 years ago he was only 6 years old. So it was kinda awkward for a bit.
Then he saw my PS2 (because I’d always bring it with me to my mom or dad’s place because they had no games and I’d get bored).
He’s like, “OMG WHOSE PS2 IS THAT?!”
I was like, “Mine.”
And he looked so, so happy, like, “Auntie you play video games?”
And I smiled and was like, “YEAH!”
So then we begged my mom to take us to the video store and we literally bonded of DBZ because one of the games was out, so we talked about the anime and played the game the entire time he was there. My mom, aunt, and grandmother were shocked but we were like, “Whateva Vegeta 4 life!”
Me and Bee had been planning some characters for
YET ANOTHERside project, and while developing them I drew these two next to each other and randomly shipped it and then we realized how unconventional but REALLY FITTING they are together and this happened. Shit.Everyone say hi to Wen (inked up chick) and Adelaide (girl with the glasses).
Wen is a Horror book/movie nut with an inability to handle cute things and Laide (Wen calls her “Lady”) is a Romance book/movie nut that finds the fluffy happy side of any situation.
They’re both psychology majors and may or may not be magical girls, shhI really love this <3
SO CUTE
Pretty ladies doing pretty lady things :)

Anonymous asked: You and your lady are amazing with your costumes and things you do together. How did you two meet?
Aww, thank you!
We met online, on a Gundam Wing yaoi fanfiction mailing list. We ended up writing a Gundam Wing/ Resident Evil crossover and it just kinda went from there, lol!
It you’d like to be amused, here’s the link
Oh god tell me you did NOT POST THE LINK TO THAT THING!
What Sora has along with his kind personality is a strong sense of justice. On top of Yen Sid telling him the org members are bad, he sees them wrecking havoc in other worlds constantly. Plus Demyx obviously has his bad side, too. He steals the talisman in Olympus Coliseum and you see how quickly he can snap into his serious mode aka “Silence, traitor.”
I’ve just recently started to replay KH2 (for about the billionth time), so I’m gonna throw in my two cents as well.
While soraspromise is right in that Sora does have a strong sense of justice and his actions being led by what Yen Sid was telling him and so on, I don’t think that’s all there is to it.
In KH2, I’ve noticed that Sora is very, very quick to jump to conclusions and be a little shit with sassy comments flying out on pretty much every world he goes to. This is pretty unlike him and something that’s not shown in another game besides KH2. And I don’t think it’s because of bad writing/forgetting Sora’s character.
I think it’s because of Roxas.
Before Sora wakes up, we get to see Roxas finding out about himself and being forced back into Sora.There are only a couple of pieces of dialogue that are really important here:
Roxas: “I hate you so much!”
DiZ: “You should share some of that hatred with Sora. He’s far too nice for his own good.”
A lot of people think that during this point Roxas did return to Sora willingly. But look at his face once he sees Sora, listen to his voice. Roxas isn’t willing, he’s tired, he’s resigned. He wants to fight back but goddammit nothing works. And no one seems to want him to be here, and the only one who did was taken away.
So he gives up. He joins with Sora. But not the way DiZ wanted him to~ Because Roxas didn’t join with him willingly, Roxas and Sora are disjointed. Roxas can’t very well take control of Sora’s body or anything. But he is very much there and definitely aware of his surroundings.
It’s why Sora cries when leaving Twilight Town. Why he’s friendly with Axel despite the fact that Axel kidnapped Kairi, and why he’s so ruthless against the Organization.
Because Roxas has his memories of the Organization back now—or at least the ones he can remember—and he felt like everyone there was keeping things from him about himself. He knows they were using him. He’s still angry about it.
And because he and Sora didn’t merge the way they were supposed to, his anger leaks into Sora.
Did you ever notice that after the battle with Roxas Sora’s suddenly a lot better about controlling his anger? The person Sora’s really most angry at is Saix—because he kidnapped Kairi and held her prisoner. And even then, it’s nowhere close to where he was the rest of the game.
It’s because Roxas finally understood. He got to talk with Sora. Figure out why he had to be the one. Once it clicks, he’s at peace. He finally lets it go and his heart relaxes. His emotions don’t leak into Sora again. Because he was willing. He let himself merge because he was now okay with it.
THANK YOU
BLESS THIS POST AND BLESS KINGDOM HEARTS.
Yeah, KH is hard to grasp sometimes, but there’s some genuiely amazing, subtle writing in there. And I admire the series to pieces for that. I LOVE IT.
Little tidbits like that are everywhere; in the way Saix treats Axel, Xion and Roxas, in the way Ventus, Terra and Aqua interact with their surroundings, in Sora’s psychological state in Dream Drop Distance, in the entirety of Riku’s whole, freaking character arc… Kingdom Hearts is very much a fairytale, but not one working with archetypes, but with very layered, complex characters.
And it is to be admired for that beyond the Fandom’s giant faults, in my opinion.
I remember feeling like this when playing Kingdom Hearts 2.
See, I didn’t play Chain of Memories until afterwards (didn’t have a GBA) so I literally went Kingdom Hearts 1, then Kingdom Hearts 2. I remember starting 2 and thinking, “WTF where is Sora? Who is this? Why am I playing with him?!” But as I played with Roxas, he grew on me, then towards the end I started to really like him. I love Sora to pieces, but Roxas actually, you know, snapped and yelled and got pissed about stuff. Not to say that Sora has never been angry, but Roxas just… you know he reacted to things the way I would. You know, some guy tells you, essentially, you don’t matter. And Roxas gets pissed. He smashes shit, actually SMASHES SHIT! And I was like, “Hell yeah let’s do this Roxas fuck DiZ fuck him!”
Then he’s gone.
And when I got Sora back I… wasn’t happy. I mean yeah sure Sora, yay, love you, but… Roxas. Just… it’s over just like that? Not to mention that the game itself kinda made you miss Roxas in all sorts of ways. Sora has one keyblade, Roxas has two. Sora’s stats are back to square one. You have to start over. You don’t get to keep the nifty things you had for the past three hours, oh no. You’re Sora now, time to play from the beginning. Here’s these friends who knew Roxas and you have no idea who they are (feels). Here’s this organization and Roxas should be the one fighting them, not Sora. Sora has no idea what’s going on, Roxas does, this is his fight.
So it’s like… we the player felt that anger, too, and having moments where Sora was just a touch bit pissy, it was like, “… is that… is that Roxas? Roxas! You’re still here!”
