Tell us a story! I stopped filling this out like 3x but dreamwidth user dynamite strong armed me into finishing it

RANDOM QUESTION TIME...
What does your screen name mean? Chiharu... is... my name... But I also go by Chiha, Haruru, ChiHAHAHAHA, etc
Which fictional world would you want to be in, and why? Pokemon or Harry Potter. I just need to know which Hogwarts house Tsukishima Kei is rly in because I reject the idea of everyone being a gryffindor
Tell us your fandom origin story: I've shipped Shinichi/KID since before I realized I love tw****st and now my life is just a huge joke
Would you rather always be cold or always be hot? no.jpg
If you could have any kind of pet, what would you have? GIMME A MIMIKYUU TO LOVE AND RAISE ALONG WITH MY PIKACHU
Talk to me about a recent (or not-so-recent) obsession: I love the idea of Isabella Yang instilling the fear of god (Chinese Women) in JJ. He knows better than to interrupt while she's ordering dim sum for the whole table, and every time JJ spots those cleavers at his in laws' house a year is shaved off his life.

ANYTHING ELSE?

which house do you think tsukki is really in?? I think he tried to hatstall for ravenclaw but it put him in gryffindor anyway because it knows

TSUKKI IS DEFINITELY A SLYTHERIN! He's cunning, resourceful, and extremely self serving. He tries to mask his ambitions with indifference, but that's because he has a very strong sense of self-preservation. Even though he's analytical enough to be Ravenclaw and has so much potential for growth (Gryffindor), you know he'd also appreciate the notoriety that comes w being Slytherin or else he wouldn't like.. pseudo-tower over people with that shiteating grin.

Fandoms You're Currently In: I swapped the question because this is more pertinent; most of what I'm watching right now is rewatches. But I'm presently really into Yuri on Ice and getting back into Yowamushi Pedal (watching season three!!) and my affection for Love Live is still holding steady. I'm also very pumped about Keijo, Pokemon Sun & Moon, and Fate series, I rewatched Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night: UBW and am now playing Fate/Extra for the PSP. Besides that, I recently watched Mob Psycho 100 and (re)watched Gundam Wing, and am currently rewatching Cowboy Bebop and Code Geass!
Favourite Animangavg: Some of my favorite series of all time are Hikaru no Go, HunterxHunter, and Uninhabited Planet Survive. (please watch it, no one knows it, it's slow but I love it.) Oldschool faves include Cowboy Bebop, Tenchi Muyo, Sailor Moon, and Digimon. Newer faves include Code Geass, Fullmetal Alchemist, Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night, Samurai Flamenco, Silver Spoon, Oofuri, Ping Pong, Chihayafuru, Yowamushi Pedal, and Yuri on Ice. I also really love stuff like Mushishi, Natsume Yujin-cho, and Mononoke, for the specific mood they evoke through telling stories about the supernatural. Games-wise, I adore the pokemon and harvest moon franchises, and am also really fond of breath of fire, golden sun, final fantasy tactics advanced, and everything by nippon ichi, but most particularly phantom brave. (disgaea is great, but... phantom brave.)
Favourite Films/TV Shows: Favorite movies include The Butterfly Effect, Leon: The Professional, The Matrix, and Hard Candy. Favorite TV shows include "just about every US crime drama ever." A semi-comprehensive list includes: Person of Interest, The Good Wife, Law and Order (and SVU), NCIS, Bones, Castle, Lie to Me, Hawaii Five-0, Criminal Minds, Numbers, Chuck, Leverage, White Collar, Burn Notice, Covert Affairs, Rizzoli and Isles, The Closer, Major Crimes, and The Mentalist. Besides crime dramas, I like old cartoons like ReBoot, Code Lyoko, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, and Jackie Chan Adventures.
Favourite Books/Literature: I'm adding this question because music is here, but not books? I have book fandoms, I don't have music fandoms. My favorite authors are Diane Duane, Tamora Pierce, and Neal Stephenson, and I especially love Tamora Pierce's Immortals quartet, and Neal Stephenson's book, The Diamond Age, or: A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer. (please read it, I'm so lonely)
Favourite Band/Music: I've been disgustingly fond of Walk the Moon for an age now. Please listen to work this body if you haven't before because it simultaneously gets me so pumped and turns me into an incoherent heap of emotions. Also please listen to freak out by Every Avenue. Fair warning it's nothing BUT drowning imagery and that is exactly why I adore it.
Favourite Food: Anything I don't have to cook myself, lol. (I love cooking for other people, myself, not so much.) Sushi. Curry and chili and super saucy pasta are all nice comfort foods for me.
Tell us a story! I met a lot of my current friends before I "met" them, either through them commenting on my fic before we talked, giving me a business card at a con before we properly got to know each other, or running into each other in a previous fandom but only talking once we got into a recent one. It's kind of hilarious how often I have near-misses with people only to catch them again later!

RANDOM QUESTION TIME...
What does your screen name mean? My dreamwidth handle means "I'm too stubborn to make a new account and too cheap to spend $15 for a rename token." My twitter handle is actually cute and is "catlarks" because that me, I am a catbird.
Which fictional world would you want to be in, and why? This question implies I'm CAPABLE of thinking beyond Harry Potter and Pokemon universes. There is no question of "want," if I existed in a fictional world it would be one of those.
Tell us your fandom origin story: There are two versions of this. The short version is, way back when on neopets dot com, a baby Lira discovered fandom. The longer version goes, way back when baby Lira only wrote original fiction and didn't really do fandom, but then FFN split off fictionpress, and baby Lira made a nice group of online friends by reading and commenting on their original M/M slash stories. That group of online friends were all very into digimon fandom, and... Everything kind of went downhill from there. :')
What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten? What immediately comes to mind is the peanut butter, pickle, and provolone cheese sandwich I ate to prove a point. It was mildly less disgusting than it sounds.
Would you rather always be cold or always be hot? Always hot. I'll take being a sweaty mess over the mind-numbing pressure headaches I get the instant the temperature goes below freezing, thanks.
If you could have any kind of pet, what would you have? Within the realm of realworld possibilities, I am absolutely a cat person. If the sky is the limit, I want a tiny chameleon dragon that changes colors based on what liquid you dunk it in.
Talk to me about a recent (or not-so-recent) obsession: I'm obsessive by nature so fandom in and of itself is obsession enough. Besides fandom and writing, my primary hobby is crochet. I'm pretty sure "six huge storage containers of yarn and counting" probably constitutes obsession.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Lately I've been playing Fate/Extra and this snippet of dialogue is like the hugest personal attack, gaze upon beautiful Rider with me and despair.

(the rest of this was SFW I'm allowed to wail about humiliation now, welcome 2 my brand)

I think you suggested it at one point but I'm lazy and terrible so I didn't follow up. (I subscribed to this account, if you have a different one as well / instead, lemme know!)

Favourite Band/Music: Sleeping at Last, Low Roar, Toe, AKMU, Ludovico Einaudi, and tons of composers for movie/anime soundtracks like Clint Mansell, Yuki Hayashi, and more. I like instrumental, atmospheric music and folksy stuff.
Favourite Food: Any kind of noodles, pasta, ramen, all that good stuff. I also have a huge fondness for unsweetened tea and could eat cheesecake forever if it were possible.
Tell us a story! I was so tiny as a baby that when my doctor slipped his wedding ring off, he could put it on my wrist like a bracelet.

RANDOM QUESTION TIME...
What does your screen name mean? It doesn't have any meaning in particular, I like the aesthetic of gold, soft yellows, oranges, cream, and "idris" is an elegant-sounding word.
Which fictional world would you want to be in, and why? Howl's Moving Castle, I think any Ghibli world would be beautiful and vibrant but this movie is the one that sticks in my mind the most as being a fantastic place full of magic!
Tell us your fandom origin story: Way back in 2007 (which ancient history for some of you people or will make me seem like a naive baby), my first venture on the internet led me to an Inuyasha fansite where I started roleplaying as my self-insert OC who was married to Koga and the rest, as they say, is history.
What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten? Squirrel meat. My uncle was adventurous, to say the least.
Would you rather always be cold or always be hot? Cold, because bundling up in an option, but I don't like winter or summer and prefer milder climates.
If you could have any kind of pet, what would you have? A big cat.
Talk to me about a recent (or not-so-recent) obsession: Mention anything to do with Yuri on Ice and my head will whip around so fast it could break the sound barrier.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Okay so you know how at grocery stores and the like, all the lobsters have their claws rubber-banded shut? That's partly for the protection of staff, I imagine, but it's also because lobsters are super aggressive and will literally rip each other to pieces if they're put in high-density confined spaces like that with minimal topography. My exhibit isn't nearly as bad as a seafood counter tank, but it's still a small space with a limited number of hidey holes. So, to keep them from killing each other, we close their claws, but we use glue rather than elastic bands because it's a little less visually obtrusive. Sometimes, though, the glue breaks, so we have to pull them off exhibit, re-glue the claw, tape it shut, and keep them in a holding tank for a few days until the glue cures. Ergo - timeout to keep them from killing each other.

Both of my ImaNaru lobsters broke open their claws last week, because I swear to god these two actually can't do anything without the other one copying. It's bizarre. They even moulted at the same time.

I was also somewhat salty about the lack of inclusion for books. I care SO much more about books than I do music or movies.

Edit: herr derr this was the 69th comment ;) ;) ;)

Halloween All Day Every Day. And being a witch is hecking exhausting, my guys.

au where pax is captain teshima putting imanaru in the timeout tank

BUT WHAT THE HECK I'M SO INVESTED IN YOUR IMANARU LOBSTERS THIS OCEANIC PISSBABY ROMANCE IS TOO REAL, I
hope they're doing okay though and didn't bang each other up.

(I always love all your aquarium stories!!)

OKAY LISTEN SO HERE'S MY THING, I truly think that he's a burnt out Gryffindor, baby Kei was all Gryff and a lot of his story arc (THIRD YEAR CAPTAINCY ARC???? @GOD PLEASE) is him finding!! that pride again!!! and while he slots in really well with both Slytherin and Ravenclaw characteristics, I think that ultimately, he grows best in the midst of Gryffs, and that's a Hat consideration. Because while everything about these house values might annoy him, it's what ultimately moves him forward and lets him find himself.

The courage to believe in others again, a fire lit under his ass. Kei doesn't want to admit it, but he's a stupid lion just like the rest of them.

if, hypothetically, one was going to write Pokemon Go fic for you

do you prefer Blanche with she/her or they/them pronouns since I have seen both and afaik there's no canon ruling either way

I know that can really throw somebody out of a fic so I wanted to check

!!! thank you for considering, kind anon. I lean toward they/them for Blanche, but truly I'm fine with either pronouns, so please use what makes you the most comfortable!

That was clever and I'm mad I didn't think of it.

Nary is missing the tip of his right claw because somehow Ima cut it off even though Ima was smaller and softer? Idk man.

A NYA!!!!!!

"what is the weirdest thing you've ever eaten" "uni" THE LAUGH I LET OUT WHEN I READ THIS bc in the uk we call college university but like usually just uni and the mental image of like chomping on dissertations i just
sorry it's 3am i'm doing work for class tmr this is hilarious to me

reading both of these messages made me exponentially sad, thank ;;;;;
