You said you recently became interested in the Duckverse. This leads to a very important question....who's your favorite character so far? :)

Without a doubt it’s Mr. Donald Fauntleroy Duck

I relate a lot to his character and I love how sassy he can get (Duck Avenger I’m looking at you)

Not to mention when I was younger I’ve always like his cartoonsUnfortunately I lost interest in Disney cartoons until the new Mickey Mouse shorts started coming out and even then I didn’t really pay attention to Donald until the Ducktales Reboot trailer came out

Oooooh boy once it came out I fell head first into the Duckverse

I had no idea that Donald Duck had such a detailed history and lore! There’s so many comics and shorts, and not to mention all of Donald’s family that I have yet to learn about.

I guess what I really like about Donald Duck is that sure he can be an angry asshole at time, but just as many times he can be a loving father-figure to the nephews. Overall from what comics I have read, Donald Duck is a great guy and someone I think a lot of people can relate too!

Honestly I’m so happy that the Ducktales Reboot is coming out because without it I would have never learned about how amazing Donald Duck and his family are.(Also Donald looks like he’s in need of a nap based on the latest Ducktales promo XD Someone help this poor Duck)

Sonic the Hedgehog OVA: it never fails to make me giggle and it has a huge nostalgia factor for me, La La Land: I know it has a sad ending, but it just makes me feel good inside when I watch it, The Greatest Showman: I’ve only seen it once, but I just really love the music in it as well as the message of being yourself no matter what people think.

7 and 10

Favorite level: Mortar Canyon has an almost dizzying level design, with a big sense of vertigo sometimes, and while it is criminally short I feel like I’d love exploring every nook and cranny. Also I already gushed enough about the music, but really, it is amazing, probably one of my favorites in the series. Capital City and Null Space get a shout out too, the former because of the clever gimmick and the second because it feels very Unleashed-esque!

Favorite Sonic character: It’s a tie between Sonic and Eggman, honestly. Sonic is full of personality, energetic, magnetic, sassy, badass, arrogant but so compassionate. Eggman, especially post-Colors!Eggman, is charismatic, hammy and funny but by no means ineffectual as a villain, in fact his sheer determination and resources are admirable. Both of them are the definition of “awesome ego”!

Sonic Adventure or Sonic Adventure 2 Battle?

Sonic Adventure by a landslide.

Gameplay-wise, the only thing I prefer Adventure 2 for is having only three gameplay styles and choosing the three best ones, but everything else, from level design to controls to the way the styles alternate, is a downgrade compared to the original. Aside from that I’m also not a fan of the soundtrack, the dull art direction that makes almost every level looks same-y and boring, and the recycling of level aesthetic/geometry.

Sonic Adventure may show its age and nowadays it feels very experimental, throwing a lot of stuff in to see what works (understandable, being the first 3D Sonic game and whatnot), but it was ambitious, it knew how to balance the many styles, and… I dunno, I just find Sonic’s stages here more fun and rewarding to replay.

(the Chao Garden in SA2 is a massive upgrade, though, I’ll give it that)

5, 14, 19

5: Are you afraid of falling in love?

Yes. I don’t believe in long lasting relationships, and I had my heart broken enough times to be wary of the idea of committing to a person.

14: Are you tired?

Not really. I’m starting to get used to waking up early for the university.

19: Is there a certain quote you live by?

“Sometimes it is better to remain silent and appear stupid than open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

Paintbrushes and scars for the ask thing! :)

Paintbrushes: Do you have a creative past-time?

Not really :( I sometimes draw and sometimes write, but on very special occasions, and in fact I have a love-hate relationship with writing due to an old story I was supposed to write with a friend of mine. I used to remix videogame tracks (mostly Sonic, but I even briefly touched Ristar and Megaman), and I’m still proud of some of them, but I lost all my programs and soundfonts after my pc got a virus *cries*.

Scars: Share something difficult you’ve been through.

Fun fact: I have a rare case of rheumatoid arthitis. I was one of the very few children who suffered from it, and one of the even fewer children who has almost 100% completely healed. Even still, I remember the period where I was brought to so many doctors almost every day, staying in the hospital for a month, getting (very painful) shots of penicillin, and my mother and grandmother praying Mary for me to be well. It’s a bit fuzzy, but I remember being confused, worried and full of apprehension.

I still have two fingers shorter and stiffer than their counterparts, and I still have a picture of Mary hanging near the bed.

(fun thing: I couldn’t close my left fist because the ring finger could barely move. When a doctor asked me to describe what I was feeling, I told him that it was like I had a magnetic field in my hand. I was a nerd even at eight :P)

Thanks for the ask! :D

16, 41, 95 :)

16. Favorite movie?

I’m torn between The Black Swan and Lilja 4-ever. I love the first one for all the symbolism behind it and how it portrayed the descent into perfectionism-driven madness; the second one was essentially the equivalent of someone tying me to a chair and punching me in the gut for two hours straight.

41. Are you a good liar?

I’m a terrible liar, sadly, my emotions are always written all over my face and in the tone of my voice :( even on the Internet I find it difficult to lie, I’m so unused to it.

95. What are your weaknesses?

My laziness, my arrogance and my anxiety are my worst enemies.

Thanks for the questions ^^
