Happy Kwanzaa! Sorry I haven't been on much recently. Came home a week ago, spent the time between then and now mostly trying to beat my sleep schedule into shape. It partially worked. Hopefully I will not sleep through my birthday. :B

Trying to get back into playing video games. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is the most unfair game in the world, seriously. I'm really only playing for the story at this point. Why so interesting, story. :| I also started a Nuzlocke run on a Sapphire emulator. Was doing okay until May killed three of my Pokémon. Now I'm in Mauville with a Dustox, a Gyarados, and a Volbeat. So in essence I am taking on Wattson with two Pokémon. Wish me luck. o/

Today I read one of those yaoi mangas that I bought from the comic store near my school for half price. (Yeah, awesome store, I know.) Turns out it was an excellent purchase. The book is Wild Butterfly by Hiroki Kusumoto, and it's really a yaoi in name only; only one of the five short stories involves an outright gay relationship. Out of the other four, two are subtext at most, and two... really have nothing to do with yaoi at all, apart from having pretty boys. I like this; it subverts your expectations. Wild Butterfly is now my second favorite yaoi (after The First Stage of Love, of course). :D

...Of course then I searched the author on Amazon and it turns out he also did that "Vampire's Portrait" one which I really disliked for being such a stereotypical yaoi. Whyyy, Mr. Kusumoto (I am assuming you are a Mr.). :(

Also guess what a meme. Stolen from

Yeah, PMD's story is amazing. :D

Oooh, 20 questions. Umm. Is your character gay?

It is quite good. It would be better if I could get through the game and find out more of it. :P

Surprisingly for me, none of them are gay! Well, one kind of is, and two others are bi. Otherwise, no. :|a

Oh. Are any of your characters trolls?

I really wish I had put a figurative troll in there now. :| But yes one is a literal troll of the troll species (Trollis trollis).

Oh okay. Is it TerminallyCapricious?

You'd expect that, wouldn't you? But it isn't.

Oh okay. *beaten*

Really? You are giving up that quickly? :(

But I guessed. And it was wrong. That means I lose. :B

...no it doesn't? You can guess as much as you want.

Oh fiiiine. Is your troll on the red team?

Well you do not have to guess if you don't want to :(

but no.

Is your troll female?

Nope!

CaligulasAquarium?

Yes! :B

IS IT DARTH MAUL

Oh man, I knew I forgot someone. :( *SURREPTITIOUSLY EDITS*

Grell from Black Butler & Syazel from Bleach (I can't spell his name or seem to remember the acronym for him atm)

Yes on Grell! (Obviously. :B) No on Szayel, surprisingly. (SPHFWLKaiB, for the record.)

lol. Dr Who?
Jesse or James from Pokemon? That really hot trainer guy who has a Lucario (Riley maybe?) Gary?! Team Rocket Grunt!!?! XD

I don't even watch Doctor Who. :P Also those are all outstanding guesses! ...but no. :(

Are any of them teenagers?

Four are who haven't been guessed. :B

Do any of said teenagers have superpowers/magical capabilities?

One does, and one doesn't have powers per se but is involved in a lot of supernatural business. The other two are bog-standard normal.

Are any from Animorphs or Avatar?

Sadly, no.

Then I'm clueless. *shrugs* Cool meme, though!

Well, I think you might know a couple, but okay. :B Thank you!

Do many of our fandoms overlap? I was only aware of Anis, and was taking a wild guess with A: tLA.

Hmm. Maybe it is just those. I thought I recalled you talking about writing a fic for one of them? But maybe not. :(

You mean Pokeymanz? I am only a fan of the games up till Gold, and even then I mostly am just a fan of the idea that Electabuzz is an alcoholic redneck wannabe chef.

To be fair, he probably is.

Or she I guess.

It's a he, and it's all because he never got over his high school rejection by the Prom Nidoqueen, and so now he dates an equally boozy Gloom and attempts in his own dysfunctional, well-intentioned way to parent Oddish the FAS kid.

My Pokemon head!canon is just SAD, yo.

I'm quite fond of it, myself. You have to let me read this fic sometime.

The first minute I'm actually writing it down instead of just babbling about it - I'll let you know.

Is any of them a Potter Puppet Pal?

No.
