"The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies."
/meaningful quote to catch your interest

Quick little notice: I'm cleaning out my favorites list. There's just too many, and some of them are just... not good... So, hopefully, it won't be so long soon (that's what she said?)!

I'm Kaitlyn, but you can call me High Mistress Kabbage.

I'm an antisocial little fifteen year old with a flair for the odd. I adore art, reading, sometimes writing, daydreaming, France, and wishing for things I'll never get (like losing ten or twenty pounds). My interests change with the tides, though, and I'm always finding something else that is so amazing I need to share it with the world (read: my mom).

My current - and most likely permanent - fandom is that of Kingdom Hearts. I don't know why. It's really lame. But so am I, so it's all good, man.

My "unofficial" beta is Red Dye Number Three because she's my eye-are-el friend, which means I don't have to make an effort to make online friends (how sad is that?). But don't let that turn you away, I love internet friends! PLEASE BE MY INTERNET FRIEND! I'M LONELY! -deep breaths-

I like to write but alas, I'm no good at it. I end up going, "Hey, that's not so bad!" but then I read it again an hour later and just weep. I mean, I get some really snazzy ideas, but I just... can't write them. I have about seven fic ideas right now that I REALLY want to get out, but I don't want them to suck.

So, mostly, I just stick to reading.

THE KH SURVEY
(Please copy and paste this onto your profile and answer the questions! Axel says to spread the KH fever!)

SECTION ONE: The "Favorite" Questions

1. Your favorite KH guy?
Too many, can't pick D=

2. Your favorite KH girl?
I'm not particularly fond of any KH women...

3. Your least favorite KH guy? Why?
Pete. Hate that... thing. He's a shame to cats everywhere.

4. Your least favorite KH girl? Why?
Kairi (sorry for the few who like her). Her arms in KH2 scare me. They are a dead giveaway of her apparent anorexia. Plus, she's SO ANNOYING.

5. Favorite World? (Includes both KH1 and KH2)
Traverse Town, even though it probably doesn't count. It's totally amazing. And that little moogle that walks back and forth... ADORABLE. I also like Space Paranoids of KH2. Yay Tron!

6. Least Favorite World?
Agrabah of KHI. PURE HATRED. Of KHII, Atlantica. Whoever thought of that whole... deal needs to be fired. Fo' shizzle.

7. Favorite Weapon? (Includes both KH1 and KH2)
I like Oblivion (KH1) because stars burst out when you hit stuff =D

8. Least Favorite Weapon?
Kairi's ridiculous excuse of a keyblade. Not because of the overly girly nature of it, but the color scheme is just atrocious.

9. Fav. Summon? (includes both KH1 and KH2)
I never used summons. I only used one once ever, and that was Bambi in KH1. He didn't help too much.

10. Fav. Form? (aka. Sora's Forms)
I... never really used them. Anti was pretty badass aesthetics wise, though.

11. Favorite Pairing? (includes yaoi coupling) Why?
I think that it has to be Zemyx, even though AkuRoku was my OTP for, like... ever. But Cleon's sweet, too.

12. Least Fav. Pairing? (includes yaoi couples) Why?
LexZex. I hate Lexaeus.

13. Any cool crack pairings you've heard of? List 'em.
I think that (even though this isn't technically a 'pairing') XigXalLux is kind of cute XD

14. Weirdest Pairing(s) You've Ever Heard Of?
AxelXAxel

15. Any "Kh-pet-peeves" you have?
Hm, I don't think so... oh, well, I hate KH RE:COM, if that counts. Those cards are... I just cannot work with that.

16. Fav. Partner in KH? (includes both KH1 and KH2)
KHI Beast. He was a beast. KH2... Auron, fo' shizzle.

SECTION TWO: Do you believe it, or not believe it?

17. Do you believe in the Xemnas/Saix theory?
Hell yeah.

18. Do you believe that Zexion is emo?
Hell no.

19. Do you believe that Marluxia is gay?
I think it's funny to think that he is the only straight one in the Orgy. Really, he's just so MANLY! Except... for the pink hair... and flowers...

20. Do you believe that Kairi is the most annoying character in KH?
Sadly, yes. I really wish she wasn't.

SECTION THREE: Answer Yourself!

21. If Roxas had to choose either Namine or Olette, who would you root for? Why?
Olette. Roxine just seems like a last minute addition. I can just imagine the designers...
"Oh shit! Roxas doesn't have a love interest and he totally seems like he is in love with Axel... Hurry, get a girl in there for 'im!"
Point is, it just doesn't make sense.

22. What's your theory on KH: Birth by Sleep?
I WANT IT SO BADLY. As for crackpot theories, I think that Terra is Saix's somebody.
Told ya. Crackpot.

23. Was Chain of Memories a waste of time?
I like the story...

24. If you had the choice of meeting ONE (and ONLY ONE!) KH character, who would it be?
Maybe... Demyx, just because I wouldn't have to provide any conversation (I'm not good at that kind of thing). He seems like the talkative type.

25. Which KH character do you relate to the most? Why?
I can't say I relate to any of them, really, but I guess Riku. Not for obvious reasons, though. I'm not part of the dark side.

26. What's the most embarrassing moment that ever happened to you that had something to do with KH?
When I was in End of the World, at the World Terminal, I went into the Neverland place. It took me about half an hour to figure out how to get back out.

27. Have you ever cosplayed as a KH character? If so, who? If not, who would you like to cosplay as?
I would probably never cosplay period.

28. The Funniest Moment in all of KH would be...?
Anything that Demyx ever says. Mostly in 358/2 Days.

29. The Hardest Enemy/Boss was...?
The only one that REALLY stands out to me is Cerberus, the first fight ya have with him in the Colliseum. It took me SO long to beat him. Am I the only one?
As for KH2, the very final fight with Xemnas - y'know, where he's in his... cow jacket. I went through that entire game without a challenge, and then they threw that at me. Not cool.

30. What was a good addition in KH2 that made it oh-so-addictive?
The sheer ridiculousness of it.

SECTION FOUR: Decisions, Decisions...

31. Hayner or Pence?
Hayner. Pence is annoying.

32. Zexion or Marluxia?
I am not picking between them. I refuse!

33. Riku or Roxas?
Riku. I don't actually like Roxas very much...

34. Roxas or Sora?
Sora because he's technically both of them?

35. Axel or Demyx?
Uhhhhh... can't... decide!

36. Kairi or Larxene?
Larxene.

37. AkuRoku or SoRiku?
AkuRoku, though SoRiku is really great. I'm just not a rabid fangirl for that one.

38. Namixas or Namiku?
Namiku. But why is Namine the dominant one?!

39. Zemyx or AkuRoku?
Zemyx.

40. SoKai or SoRiku?
SoRiku.

41. Sea Salt Ice Cream or Paopu Fruit?
Sea Salt Icecream. It doesn't screw with your destiny, it's just delicious =D

42. Cloud or Leon?
Cleon. Omnomnom.

43. CloTi of Clerith?
CloTi. Aerith belongs with Zack.

44. Simple and Clean or Passion?
I like ALL of the opening songs, Japanese ones included, except Hikari. Hate that song.

SECTION FIVE: The Last Section!!

45. List all the KH character you've fallen for. (This includes Final Fantasy character as well)
Cough.
Riku, Leon, Cloudy Pie, Xemnas, Xigbar, Zexion, Saix, Axel, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, Jareth (oopsie, wrong fandom. He could totally pull it off, though).

46. What crossovers would you like to see with KH?
Wall-E. WOULDN'T THAT BE ADORABLE?!

47. Does anyone in KH look like another character? List 'em all!
Well, obviously the whole Axel-Reno thing. Axel and Setzer are long lost soul twins, of course. Oh, you didn't notice it? How unobservant of you. Oh, but I think that Marluxia and Riku actually look A LOT alike. Like, really close. Save for hair color, obviously. Oh, and Terra and Saix. JUST LOOK AT THE HAIR AND FACIAL...NESS. Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees it...

48. Which new KH game can you absolutely NOT wait for?
ALL OF THEM. But I'll go for the unannounced one... KHIII. They better not make us wait for a thousand and a half years.

49. Do you like KH1 or KH2 better? Why?
Ergh, I like both. KHI was the one I liked for fighting, but KHII was good for story. It just didn't have as much playing involved. More of an interactive story where you chuck keys at things every once in a while, really.

50. LAST QUESTION! What makes Kingdom Hearts one of the best games in the world!?
PLOT.

~THE BEST OF THE BEST~

A Thought and a Shadow by Casey V.

(not located on this site - it used to be, but I had to hunt it down after I realized it no longer was)

Even though the info says it's Cleon, it's also very concentrated on Zemyx and slight AkuRoku//RiSo ((which will be less slight eventually))

The Vertigo Shot by Appuru
