Wow...I guess your profile is where you describe yourself, huh? That might be hard...I'll try, though...
News--So, I have a New Favorite Thing. And it's really, really dorky. It is...Ouran High School Host Club. (Okay, but seriously! It's flippin' hysterical! I can't decide which character I like more...the super over-dramatic in ALL THINGS Tamaki, the laughably sadistic twins, or...HONEY-SEMPAI!!) I started reading the manga, which is great with all the crazy words in the backgrounds...(it's hard to describe)...but the anime is surprisingly good, too. They're all screaming at each other at the same time, which makes me laugh...and the artwork for everything is sooo gorgeous...(But I'm not an otaku! I swear! EGAD!)
ALSO!
Radiant Dawn is, without a doubt, the most well-thought-out, beautifully haunting, mess-with-your mind MASTERPIECE I have ever had the pleasure to know of. I didn't think it was possible to put that much effort into a game. But it is. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I have sworn my heart to Nintendo. THIS is why they have my undying loyalty. So if you haven't played RD yet...do so. Immediately.
Name: Kender. But you can call me Speed Racer. Or the Ninja. Or Thomas Aquinas. Or Toast. Or Bubbles. Or Jedi Master An'ya Kuro the "Dark Woman", teacher of Ki Adi Mundi. (It's best if you just don't ask...)
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Current words: Lave, Foss, Skyey (HOLY CRAP IT'S ACTUALLY A WORD!)
Current music: Second movement of Quantz' Konzert in G (HA! As if!)...another crazy song by another crazy french guy...Oh. And everything from Rock Band. OOOHHH YEAH.
Trying to describe my personality: All you need to know is I'm a proud band geek, a devout Catholic, totally sardonic, usually bored, always daydreaming, and very very...eccentric, shall we say? (grins)
Hobbies: Reading, writing, playing video games, playing the flute, drawing, trying to teach myself how to speak Japanese
Likes: Deceptive Cadences (OMG BEST EVER), Prince Phillip, Zutara shipping, Edward Cullen, Mongols, cotton candy, french fries, video games (especially Fire Emblem!), really really big words, fantasy books (especially DragonLance), manga (Rurouni Kenshin!), Nintendo, parodies, music, pencils, bubbles, inside jokes, my friends, Fridays, trees, Shakespeare, Pajama Sam, and sugar.
Things that bug me: cheese, yogurt, telephones, homework, marching band fundamentals, the name "Tristan" (long story), spiders, chatspeak, throwing up, anything math-related, people who don't use proper grammar, and Raven and Fiora and Rath!
Favorite characters: FE7: Eliwood (according to my cousin, I'm a lot like him), Sain (is hysterical) and Kent (is adorable), Canas (Hellooo, I'm Nigel Thornberry!) and Lucius (girly man!), Pent (mmm, intellectual) , Nils (FLUTES PWN!). FE8: Seth (Because chivalry also pwns), Lyon (I love me my deep characters), Knoll (oh, he's just tight). FE9 (and 10, so far): BASTIAN (do I even need a reason?)! Oh, and Geoffrey (more chivalry)! And Oscar of course (It's OSCAR-TIME! Can't touch 'dis)...and Reyson (see Lucius) and Naesala (muahaha I love "bad guys").
Heroes! My heroes are Socrates (As I am truly a student of Socratic Thought :-P), Magaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, (the creators of DragonLance), Shigeru Miyamoto (who made up Mario, Link, and Donkey Kong), Yusuke Nakano (who does the character art for the Legend of Zelda games!), Walt Disney, Dr. Suess, Lewis Carrol (Jabberwocky!), Miguel de Cervantes (Don Quixote!), and Douglas Adams, and my friend's uncle xD
In-Progress Stories
Huzzah! Well...I'm not quite sure where the heck this--my random humor story--came from, but I was SOOOO bored that I started writing it. I didn't know where it would go or if anyone would want to read it, but it's doing very well and it always makes me feel so good to know I'm making people smile! Currently writing Chapter 32...(no, I mean it! I'm actually working on it!)
Tally-Ho YAY CANAS FIC! (laughs) There aren't enough Canas fics, so I started one. It's just our favorite little shaman running around, acting like Nigel Thornberry, and getting himself into a heck of a lot of trouble. I think...that I...am starting Chapter Nine.
Still Ongoing True to the title, Not Yet Finished continues. It's mainly SerraxErkxPriscillaxHeath, with some HectorxFarina and EliwoodxDella. Yay more ridiculously cheesy romance! Now trying to sort-of wrap up Chapter Twelve...honestly? I'm hating this chapter. So it's gotta get reworked. Sorry for any delays.
Scars This was a random idea that came to me...well, randomly. In the middle of chemistry. I decided to do a sort of study--just exploring the ways certain characters have been scarred, both literally and metaphorically, and how those things can heal. It's a wide variety of genres, from romance to angst to philosophy, featuring best friends, lovers, and siblings. Currently writing chapter three...and currently hating chapter three. This fic is on hold until my plots stop sucking.
And about that SethxLyonxEirika fic...I'm going to post it after I'm done with Still Ongoing and before I start the third book of the trilogy. So...never fear, all those who were interested in it! Although now that it's been hyped up for so long, I doubt that it will be any good...
Complete Stories
Not Yet Finished -laughs- The title finally clashes with the status...anyway! Once again my excuse is that I got very bored, and I wanted to write one of those courtly love romances...so I did! HA! Anyway, it's pretty stupid but I'm keeping it up...besides, it was amusing to write. It's been dubbed The Most Deformed Love Square Ever, with KentxLynxHector and Eliwood thrown in there as well because Lyn is engaged to him against both of their wills.
Reminiscence: Haha, my first Sacred Stones story. This one is a romance as well, but it's not all angsty like Not Yet Finished...it's more of a melancholy tone, I think. All about Eirika remembering good times with all the people that love her (Innes, Ephraim, Seth, Lyon) during the final battle against the Demon King.
Love Songs: Woot, my first oneshot! This was yet another random idea that popped into my head...it's pretty hard to understand if you don't know music, but I got some pretty great reviews from the music-savvy (thanks, guys!). And it stars ERK! Yay!
Someone Sightless: My second oneshot...sort of philosophical drabble about what it means to be a person and how if you're in love it's okay if you don't know where you're going. Super lame and sappy. EliwoodxNinian, of course.
In Pherae: My third oneshot, and my first fic that is solid angst. Why did I write it? I dunno. Truth be told, it kind of sucks. A lot. It seems that angst is just not my genre (I mean, I'm a kender for crying out loud)...and I'm tempted to take it off the site...but I won't. It was just an experiment, after all. And a good reminder that I still have things to learn.
Zarathustra: named for the founder of Zoroastrainism, this is (another) whim-turned-word of mine...baaaasically, Eliwood is seeking solace in Castle Pherae's chapel, and finds Ninian freaking out because the depictions of demons on the walls look quite a lot like dragons. Slight romance, religious ruminations, and bitter irony ensue.
Matthew: The name says it all xD. It's basically Matthew thinking about Leila, a kind-of phantasmagoria of his memories with her, all revolving around the ways she said his name. Obviously romantic, obviously a tragedy, and obviously the shortest thing I'm ever going to write. Haha!
Strength: a very unoriginal title, yes, yes, I know. Yet another EliwoodxNinian oneshot...Eliwood gets sick of war and is too exhausted to go on. While he's throwing himself a pansy pity party, Ninian finds him and dances for him and teaches him what it truly means to be strong. (Yep, think of the sprites--grey, already-moved Eliwood is danced for and turns blue again! Hooray!) I got conflicting reviews on this one...looks like Eliwood slipped out of character...although, really, when in real life writings am I going to need to draw the line of Eliwood's pansiness? xD
The Impossible Dream: OBVIOUSLY named for that Man of La Mancha song, which is constantly stuck in my head. This one is from Sain's point of view...deep in the night, Kent has a dream which he is very reluctant to talk about. So Sain decides to force the truth out of his boon companion...to his own amusement and Kent's mortification. Was originally going to be a KentxLyn pairing, but turned into a friendship fic about Kent and Sain.
So apparently the Emo Romeo and Juliet parody was taken down for a while...pity, that.
Thank you so so so very much to all my reveiwers!! (Look, a rare case of excessive exclamation!)
