I feel so bad for Venusian nakshatra men they don’t feel at home in their bodies at all.
Bharani is from the underworld he’s basically like Frankenstein or Evan Peters from AHS coven trying to figure out why he was reincarnated.
Purvaphalguni men constantly feel like they’re going through puberty and struggle with controlling their urges.
Purva Ashadas have this energy of rage or bloodlust just wanting to beat someone up that feels unreal but they have to act normal.
Shukra was guru of the demons. They channel through women a lot because handling that energy of raw femininity in a masculine way ends with the shit they creatively express: slasher or horror films. And it’s not going on in their heads, they just feel the after effects or residue of ketu all throughout their body.
What fills that emptiness? The void or what can stir something inside them.

What Did I Pick?
Tumblr media
This is the first month that I've ever been interested in every one of Book of the Month's Main Picks. Several Add-Ons also caught my attention. Plus, I still have several backlist titles I want to get soon! All of this means it was quite difficult to narrow my list down to the books I most wanted. In the end, I went with the books that I'm currently most in the mood to read.
First, I picked A Song to Drown Rivers. I love fantasy retellings and this one sounds beautiful and like something that I will love. The Crimson Crown was also an easy pick because it is also a fantasy retelling and is sapphic! I picked Phantasma since the Fall always puts me in the mood for gothic novels and I'm intrigued by a paranormal romance that is good enough to get Book of the Month's attention.
I've never read a Matt Haig book but I've wanted to, so I will be starting with The Impossible Life.
Finally, I got The Hacienda from the backlist. As I said, I love a good gothic novel in the Fall and I plan to read this one this month!
Someone in the Attic and Sleep Tight are two that I really wish I could have gotten. I'm planning on getting them next month. I've been reading a lot of horror and thrillers lately but I'm taking a little break in September so I don't get burned out on the genre before Spooky Season! Lots of the other books went on my TBR!

THE MEGA RP PLOTTING SHEET / MEME
First and foremost, recall that no one is perfect, we’ve all witnessed some plotting once which didn’t go too well, be it because of ourselves or our partner. So here, have this, which may help for future plotting. It’s a lot, yes, but perhaps give your partners some insight?       Anyway BOLD what fully applies, italicize if only somewhat
Tumblr media
Mun Name: Plouton (or Plou)  Age: 21+  Contact: Discord, DMs
Character(s) I rp: Grimmjow and others! Which muse(s) inspires you the most atm?: This blog is Grimmjow Only! Current Fandom(s): Bleach Fandom(s) you have an AU for: I have a lot of AUs but start with my verse page! (Includes Shinigami verses, Spirit Society, and a Human Au). I’m very open to making new verses too with another person! Off the top of my head, I’d love to make an BNHA (he’d be a vigilante bordering on villain) verse or JJK (he’s be a vengeful spirit of some description) verse! Really.... I just love creating aus so you can always slide into my DMs about it. My language(s): English Genres I’m interested in for rp: Fantasy / Science fiction / Psychological Horror / Western / Romance / Thriller / Mystery / Dystopia / Adventure / Modern / Erotic / Crime / Mythology / Classic / History / Renaissance / Medieval / Ancient / War / Family / Politics / Religion / School / Adulthood / Childhood / Apocalyptic / Gods / Sport / Music / Science / Fights / Angst / Smut / Drama / etc. 
I don’t really care about Genres, but i did flag the ones of my biggest interest (many of them feel more like settings to me lol, ill write the genres in any setting).
I’m much more interested in grappling with specific themes. Some major ones that I like to write or explore are about family, interpersonal connection, loss, recovery, trauma, rage, abuse, war, identity, religion, hunger, desire and more. I like writing about catharsis, and I enjoy exploring bad experiences, and the grit and horror of the humanity when pushed too extremes and beyond. If you’ve ever wanted to explore something problematic, I’m ya mun.
Themes/Genres you have an AU for: None specifically. Generally speaking, if you offer me a theme present in bleach, dial it up to 10 and break the nob off... I’m so on board.
Preferred Thread length: one-liner / 1 para / 2 para / 3+ / novella. Asks can be sent by: Mutuals / Non-Mutuals / Personals / Anons. Can Asks be continued?:   YES / NO    only by Mutuals?:  YES / NO. Preferred thread type: crack / casual nothing too deep / serious / deep as heck.
Is realism / research important for you in certain themes?:   YES / NO. Yes, yes, yes, yes absolutely. This is a big thing for me. If it’s obvious that you haven’t done your research, I will try to provide help. if you don’t accept my help, or you don’t actually follow up on the research you say you’re going to do, you fall into my bad books really quick. I’m not here to write crack or to satisfy your personal power fantasies. Give me something real. Are you atm open for new plots?:  YES / NO / DEPENDS. Do you handle your draft / ask - count well?:  YES / NO / SOMEWHAT. (depends on irl commitments) How long do you usually take to reply?:  24h / 1 week / 2 weeks / 3+ / months / years. I’m okay with interacting: original characters / a relative of my character (probably not) / duplicates (only very rarely) / my fandom / crossovers / multi-muses / self-inserts (i don’t know what the difference between this and an OC is?) / people with no AU verse for my fandom / canon-divergent portrayals / AU-versions (as main or only verse). Do you post more ic or ooc?: IC / OOC. Are you selective with following others?:  YES / NO / DEPENDS.  
Best ways to approach you for rp/plotting: slide into my DMs!!  Or just flick me an ask to start something. If your shy/aren’t sure if I’ll go for a certain plot you’re also welcome to send me an anon ask and ill rate my interest in the plot and make some suggestions!
What expectations do you hold towards your plotting partner: I like to have either a specific relationship we are trying to cultivate, a specific goal we are working towards, or a vague plot outline. (I do not mind if any of this diverges once we actually start writing.) We can take some time to work this out! But please be honest with me. We’re working together towards a common goal, and if you can’t tell me what you want, I can’t help you.
Ways to tell me what you want:
“I like the relationship between *insert 2 characters*, and I think grimmjow and my muse could have somethign similar if xyz happened.”
“I want to ship. I want it to be *insert adjective here* (ex. cute/toxic/one-sided/dangerous/seductive/romantic)”
“I saw this thread you were writing *insert link*, can we do something like this too?”
“I want to write *insert genre/plotline/trope*”
“How do you think grimmjow would react to *insert event*, do you think he and my muse could form *insert relationship* out of it?”
etc
How do you usually plot with others, do you give input or leave most work towards your partner?: Hmmm usually I just fling a whole bunch of idea at someone till we find one we like. (I’m a bit disorganized). I want it to be a 50/50 split on ideas. Sometimes i just want to do some small ic chatter too to see how our muses interact, sometimes I find that this is the best place to start!
When a partner drops the thread, do you wish to know?:   YES / NO / DEPENDS. - And why?: RP is a fun hobby! I don’t care if we drop a thread but I like to know so I’m not waiting around wasting time coming up with more material for you if that thread isn’t going anywhere.
If you drop threads of ours without telling me, I will block you. It’s non-negotiable. If you don’t respect me and my time enough to tell me you want to drop a thread then we won’t be getting along. It’s never a PROBLEM if my partner wants to drop, just the fact that they’re not able to communicate with me. - Will you tell your partner?:   YES / NO / DEPENDS.
Is communication in the rpc important to you?  YES / NO. - And why?: I believe its THE MOST important part of RP. I want to get to know the muns behind the muse. This is a hobby and something I do in my downtime. So I want to know that my partners are having as much fun as I am. It also makes it much easier to work through any issues, as well as generate new ideas and plot and content! I feel like the better the muns get along, the easier it is to write!
Also, the more we chat and get comfortable with each other, the better the experience is. The more we can write creatively without fear of judgement and the more we can explore not just our own and each others muses.
If there’s ever a problem, let me know. I’d much rather have a chat the deal with drama and childish attempts at public humiliation. Most of the time the problem is a misunderstanding that can be realized with a talk :D!
- Are you okay with absolute honesty, even if it may means hearing something negative about you and/or portrayal?: As long as you’re respectful and not needlessly mean you can tell me anything. Just know that depending on the criticism (ie if its about how I portray my muse) it’s ultimately up to me how or if I implement changes. I believe everyone is constantly learning, and I love to hear feed back.
- Do you think you can handle such a situation in a mature way?  YES / NO.
Why do you rp again, is there a goal?: For me, my biggest reason for doing this is to explore my muse. I want to develop relationships, both good and bad, explore how they came to be the way they are, and see what happens when I put them in new situations.
Wishlist, be it plots or scenarios: I have a post about this! (this one is dated now but I will update it at some point - 9/10/22)
Some specific characters I really want to develop relationships with include: 
Inoue Orihime
Tier Hallibel (post war)
Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck (post war)
Sosuke Aizen
Grimm’s fraccion
Tbh all the Espada/Arrancar ngl you can throw any of them at me
Shinigami are harder to write with ngl. I need a reason for Grimmjow to be interacting with them beyond ‘well... is he ever in the SS?’ I need motivations!
What Type of Starters do you prefer?: Either something with a good dialogue or an emotional hook. I needs something to play with that can be taken in a few directions. If I’m being railroaded I tend to get annoyed and frustrated.
If it’s just a one liner, its hard to go wrong (unless you provide me 0 context). If its a longer pre-plotted starter, you gotta give me more and actually start telling the story.
What Type of Starters do you dislike, or can’t work with?: I don’t like being railroaded (coincidentally neither do my muses) if you try to set the genre without approaching me first (particularly if its a romance or smut kinda vibe) i will almost certainly do the opposite of what you want and then neither of us will be happy. If my partner doesn’t cooperate WITH ME and it feels like every reply is a battle, then I’m not going to be happy about it.
Sometimes stuff falls flat even if there is multiple paragraphs or replies. Not anyone fault! But I try to kill it early if there’s no movement.
What type of characters catch your interest the most?: I’ll be honest with you. I’m more interested in the mun behind the muse then the muse themselves. A Great story can come from any characters, the mun and the brain behind it that breaths life and depth into their characters is more important and interesting for me. Not only do the characters need to have an interesting dynamic, we need to get along as muns too!
As for interesting characters specifically..... I like characters with depth that are driven my muns who *want* to explore that depth. Help me create moments of vulnerability! Muses who are more capable of calling my muses on their bullshit is also something I look for. Backbone! Fire! Passion! Ambition! Fear! Growth! Vulnerability! Bring it ON!
What type of characters catch your interest the least?: Romance only characters. I know shipping is fun. But if that is all your character has to offer.... I don’t really vibe with super cutsie characters in general. I try to give everyone a chance but if we have a few threads and there’s nothing new happening I get bored. If a character lacks visible depth I struggle. Make the muse your own and let me see that!
I also struggle with really asocial characters and really guarded characters (I know, this is a little hypocritical of me, but I do try to force Grimmjow into positions of vulnerability). It interacting with your muse is too much of an uphill battle, I’m out! Same with any characters who don’t grow and develop. The point is to deepen relationships, and if there’s no continuity then the plot stagnates and I don’t feel there is much more to explore.
What are your strong aspects as rp partner?:  I love angst. I love it. I also love redemption arcs and facilitating friendships and relationships. (Not necessarily romantic). I write generally pretty well and I like to think i have a lot of ideas I can shower you in!
I’m also very open and comfortable with writing more mature or darker themes. My muse is antagonistic by nature, and hollows all collectively have dealt with SOME SHIT. I’m very willing to explore that.
I like writing longer more complex threads with deep plots and emotional depth. If you want some examples, check out my grimmichi pieces on AO3 (this is a grimm and ichi thread that we edited into a fic).
What are your weak aspects as rp partner?: Sometimes I forget to write starters (especially if we discuss and idea and then don’t specify who should do the starter piece). I have some weeks were i have a lot of time to rp and some where I don’t. I can get overwhelmed easily if there’s too much happening at once.
I love shipping, but I am very picky which who I ship with.
I am also not great with fighting scenes. I (like my muse) hate being the weaker character in the situation and it can really get my hackles up. I need this to be somewhat plotted in advance.
Do you rp smut?:  YES / NO / UNKNOWN. Do you prefer to go into detail?:  YES / NO / DEPENDS. Are you okay with black curtain?:  YES / NO. - When do you rp smut? More out of fun or character development?: Usually more for character or plot development. Sometimes for fun! (Sometimes just because I want to torture/tease my muse).
- Anything you would not want to rp there?: Anything particularly taboo. I’d probs take non-con (unless it was consensual non-con) to a different platform. serious degradation or humiliation. Anything detailing specifically and intentionally unsafe sexual practices.
Are ships important to you?:  YES / NO. I don’t need to ship, but I have fun with it!
Would you say your blog is ship-focused?:  YES / NO
.Do you use read-mores?:  YES / NO / SOMETIMES. (i dont want to loose stuff 🥺)
Are you:  Multi-Ship / Single-Ship / Dual-Ship  —  Multiverse / Singleverse (for some muses and only if all parties agree - my muse is poly so if I can have this, I like this).
- What do you love to explore the most in your ships?: I love plot lines focused on personal growth.  A ship should allow both muses to grow and develop individually and as a pair. I also love the “enemies to lovers” trope. I want to explore new depths and create vulnerability. Sometimes I like exploring really horrible unhealthy, abusive, and co-dependent relationships. Sometimes I like exploring fluff and safety and mutual love and respect! I’m a mixed bag. 
- What is your smut tag?: I don’t have one (yet) “nsfw tw” is my general tag. Sinday specific tags are: [ sinday canon verse || let me sink my teeth in ] [ sinday human verse || buy me a drink first ]
Are you okay with pre-established relationships?: YES / NO. - And what kind of ones?: Acquaintances of circumstance, Rivals, Enemies, Allies, Sibling like, Fracción (for his fraccion), Parental, Ex, Abuser, Employee/Employer, Significant Other (very very tentatively and only for a few specific muses).
► SECTION ABOUT YOUR MUSE.
- What could possibly make your Muse interesting towards others, why should they rp with this particular character of yours now, what possible plots do they offer?:
Grimmjow is the second artificial arrancar created (meaning he has been in Las Noches throughout the entirety of Aizen building his army), involved himself in two wars, and has brushed up against quite a large number of factions - from the other Espada, to the Vizard, Humans, Shoten, and quite a few shinigami.
His angst potential is off the charts considering all his fraccion/family are dead, his boss is in prison, and he’s going to die alone and unloved in a desert with no friends, no home, and in total obscurity! For a guy who fashions himself something like a king, he has an awful lot of self esteem, and personal significance issues.
Engaging and fascinating arcs exploring Grimmjow’s non-human emotions, behaviours, and tendencies: including the conditioning of being a hollow and learning to fear and hate the titular 'good guy' shinigami because being 'cleansed' will destroy everything you are. This leading to coloured perceptions of shinigami characters and humans in general for both being lesser 'food' and having something he doesn't: a 'heart'. This can lead to wildly complex interactions and trust issues with other muses. If this is the kind of content you like, come rp with him!
If you want more fluff content, Grimmjow is actually a very cute person when you get your C4 out and blow through all of his defensive walls. Grimmjow wants to be important to other people, and once he has decided that your muse is worth the effort, he will go through great lengths to prove his worth to them. If your looking to build long lasting relationships in a variety of flavours (from familial to romantic) in which you get to slowly but surly earn the trust and loyalty of a guy who literally purrs, then you should also rp with him!
- With what type of Muses do you usually struggle to rp with?: Quiet types or doormats. He gets bored. He thrives off of dysfunction and chaos.
- With what type of Muses do they usually work well with?: Powerful characters. People he wants to overcome or there’s friction or conflict with. People he relates to. There’s not many, but he’s generally at a point (post canon) where he is trying to reach out and form connections with people.
- What interests your Muse(s) in general: He finds the human world fascinating. He finds power fascinating. If someone triggers any of his shriveled empathy, he’s invested automatically.
- What do they desire, what is their goal?: Grimmjow craves companionship and security and respect. Everything else is secondary. He believes he can have these things if he is powerful.
- What catches their interest first when meeting someone new?: Passion/power and confidence are both key. He is interested in people who function with purpose.
- What do they value in a person?:  Integrity. Strength. Loyalty. Compassion. Confidence.
- What themes do they like talking about?: He’s a curious guy, so he likes to learn what motivates other people. He has a lot of questions about everything. Las Noches. Tentatively, I say Aizen.
- Which themes bore them?: Hypocrisy in any form. Good and evil ethics. Talking about himself. History. Any situation where he is made to feel like an idiot.
- Did they ever go through something traumatic?:  Yes.
- What could possibly trigger them?: Oh. God. So much stuff.
- What could set them off, enrage them?: Condescending to him or perceiving oneself as superior. Hostility.
- Is there someone /-thing they hate?: Yes, but they are dead.
- Is there someone /-thing they love?: No. “Hollows don’t love.”
Is your Muse easy to approach?: YES / NO? - Best ways to approach them?: Like approaching a wild animal who’ll either bite or run. It’s very easy to actually approach him, but its difficult to get anything of value out of him and he’s prone to both violence and retreating if the conversation gets too pointed or confusing for him. - Where are they usually to be found?: Stalking Las Noches, Karakura (Near both the shoten and the Kurosaki clinic), various parks with large trees that he can sit in. I do have him crop up in the SS from time to time tooo if thats the only option for interaction.
Something you may still want to point out about your muse?: Grimmjow is an excellent actor. In 80% of his canon interactions with other characters, he is acting. His hot-head personality type is a direct product of this, as he is actually rather emotionally flat.  Being perceptive is key when dealing with him.

S c h o o l Did you/do you like school? Looking back after a few years, I think I did overall. I wouldn’t have said that in the moment, though. I got very easily overwhelmed, stressed, and burnt out. Many tears were shed. A lot of anxiety was induced. I hated the presentations and taking exams. There were parts I did like, though. There were assignments, books, courses, teachers, and activities that I liked. The learning aspect of stuff that was of real interest to me was enjoyable.  What was/is the best thing about going to school? The worst? I listed the good and bad in my previous answer. All that being said, I do believe education is good and important.  What was/is your favourite subject? Least favourite? My favorite was always english and then psychology, obviously. That was my major. My least was always math. That was the absolute worst.  Who was/is your favourite teacher? Least favourite? My favorite in elementary and middle school (my school was a K-8th grade) was Mr. McGill. He was my 4th grade teacher, but he ended up being an 8th grade teacher later on and I was able to have him again. He was very funny and cool and made learning fun. He genuinely cared about his students. Everyone loved him. In high school it was my sophomore history teacher, Mr. Coffey. He reminded me so much of Rob Dyrdek from how he looked to how he acted. He was cool. He always jammed out to Red Hot Chili Peppers before class. In college I had a few awesome professors. College professors are usually pretty rad.
What did/do you do for break/recess? Recess I just hung out with my friends. I forget what we did, exactly. I couldn’t go on the playground (I’m in a wheelchair). I probably just watched them for awhile or something. I remember playing 4-square. Probably stuff like tag as well. I honestly don’t really remember what I did for recess in elementary school. In middle school we just hung out. *shrug* Oh, and had snacks cause most of us always brought chips or whatever to munch on before lunch. People were suddenly your best friend if you had Hot Cheetos haha. In school break was lunch and I just ate and hung out with friends mostly. In college if I was campus for a long time I usually ate between classes, studied, did some reading, got coffee, messed around on my phone and watched YouTube or Netflix or something.  Did you/do you do any after school activities? What? In 5th and 6th grade I was a Girl Scout. In middle school we had electives, but that was during school so I guess that doesn’t count. I think it was like toward the end of the school day, though. Oh, also my local community college offered some fun classes for kids during the summer and I did some of those. In high school I was in a couple clubs. I was VP for one of them. When I was at community college I was an active club and then board member of the psychology club. In university I didn’t do anything, ha. I went to my classes and went home.  Did you/do you take part in a club or sport at school? What? No sports, but yeah the club stuff I just listed. ^^^  What age did you start school? Like 3 in preschool. If you've left school do you wish you were still there? Nope! haha. I served my time as I say. I’m doneeee. S l a n d e r Do you take things people say at face value? Not always. Depends what they’re telling me, obviously. If someone was like, “there’s a huge meteor crashing to earth tomorrow” I’m gonna look into that lol. What is the worst rumour that has been spread about you? There weren’t any. Not that I ever knew of, anyway. I wasn’t relevant. Can you honestly say you never act two faced? No. I think we’ve all been fake in some way or another at some time or another. Some people are just fake people, though. Like that’s just who they are as a person, ya know? I’m not one of those people, but I can’t say that I’ve never been before.  Do you get talked about behind your back often [someone tells you]? I’m sure my former friends have talked a lot of shit about me over the past few years and rightfully so. I wouldn’t blame them at all. Now I’m probably not even on their radar anymore and they probably just don’t give a shit, which I also wouldn’t blame them for. Apart from that, I mean I’m sure people have said stuff about me behind my back and I’ve been told things before. For the most part; though, I really feel like I was always pretty insignificant and not even on most people’s radar. Do you believe everyone is somewhat of a gossip? Yeah, pretty much. Some are just make it their life; though, and live for the gossip and drama. Don't you think those who insult others and their lives just seriously need to get a life of their own? I don’t understand the obsession some people have for people they claim to dislike or hate. Like, why are they so invested and give any of their time to someone they don’t like? It makes NO sense. I see that so much on the internet. I watch YouTubers and there will be so many haters who just have to get their fix and watch the video and talk shit about the person. They just have to leave that comment and make it known. I’m just like, WHY. I don’t waste my time watching or following up on someone I don’t like. I don’t feel the need to leave a rude comment. It’s real easy to just X out the video and find something else. Why waste your time??? I’ve just really been seeing that a lot lately especially on YouTube. Same with celebrities. There’s some I’m not a fan of or don’t particularly care for, but I have the need to go tweet and tell them that I don’t like them or talk shit in their comments. Make comments to yourself or to someone privately, but you don’t need to make it known to the person. I just move along with your life. That goes for anyone. We all talk shit sometimes, don’t act like you never do, but you don’t need to insult people to their face. S p o r t s Do you like sports in general? Nope. Do you prefer field sports, team sports or other? I prefer no sports. Do you run/jog regularly? Nope. Do you like/enjoy swimming? What's your usual stroke? Nope. What sport do you like to watch but not to play? None. What sport do you like to play but not to watch? None. Who is your favourite sportsman/woman? What sport do they play? I don't have one. Are you sporty, average or hate sports? Sports are just not my thing, man.  R a p Do you like rap music? Yeah. Whose your favourite rap artist? Why? I have several. I’m probably most into Post Malone these days. I like Drake, too. There’s also the newer genre, emo rap, that I’m into as well. That includes like Juice WRLD and Travis Scott. Thennn there’s like rap rock. Linkin Park, one of my top favorite bands, fall under that category. Whose your least favourite rap artist? Why? Hmm. Name me a few rap songs that you like? I don’t wanna.  Name me a few rap songs you dislike? I don’t wanna. Is rap one of your top 3 genres of music? I don’t know, man. I just like variety. Eminen or Dr. Dre? Eminem.  Dizzy Rascal or Will.i.am? I don’t think I’ve heard of Dizzy Rascal.  D12 or Bone Thugs n Harmony? I liked a couple songs by D12. Haven’t listened to them in a long time, though. R e a d i n g Do you like reading? I love to read. What's your favourite book? Whose your favourite author? I can’t choose a favorite. I just can’t. I’ve been reading a longgggg time and have read a lottttttt of books. I have too many favorites. Fiction or Non Fiction? I like fiction better.  Sci-Fi or Historical Novel? Hm. Probably sci-fi out of the two. Fantasy or Horror? Horror. Romance or War Novel? Romance. Do you prefer films or books? I enjoy both. How many books do you think you own? Quite a lot, but not as much as I used to. I’ve been reading a lot of ebooks for the past several years, so I have a lot of those. I have a lot saved in my Kindle app. What books have you read that made you sad? I’ve read countless number of sad books. What books have you read that frightened you? I read a lot of mystery and psychological thriller, so. What books have you read that were terrible? The only ones I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve read are the Fifty Shades of Gray series. :X What books have you read that left you wanting more? So many. I get really into a book and the characters. I love a series.  R e l i g i o n Do you believe in God? Yes. Do you believe in multiple Gods/Goddesses? No. What is your religion called? Christian. Do you believe in Angels and Demons? Yes. Do you believe in Heaven and Hell? Yes. Do you believe in The Devil? Yes. Not like how he’s portrayed in movies and such, like the red dude with a pitchfork, but yes.  What rule/ideal in your religion do you think is the most important? The 10 Commandments.  What, to you, is the difference between spirituality and religion? Religion consists of practices, beliefs, and a relationship with God. Spirituality is more within yourself.  Q u e s t i o n s O f O d d n e s s Do you like tandoori chicken? Never had it. I don’t even know what that is. Can you hear a man's voice right now? On the TV. What nations tea is the best? I don't know. Can you remember what you were doing at 12.30pm yesterday? Sleeping. Does the colour purple make you feel a particular emotion? No. What age are you going to be in 2020? I’m turning 31 this year. D: What colour are your siblings eyes? Brown. Do you more often get a sore throat, cough or sneeze? Sore throat or cough.

hmm,,, i usually just don't do any unnecessary movements during the first days and try to eat my meals, even though i always have problems with swallowing food during that time. and i try to provide my brain with fresh air since it's important! 🤧 do you have any tips? oh! you want to learn spanish? don't you already know a lot of other languages? or am i mistaken? 🤔 ooo i like detective ones! they're great! and kind of like,,, fantasy/science fiction? idk what genre are they lol. and you? — 🍑
Hmmm seems reasonable! An interesting manner of coping with it all. 😛
Uhhh i dont know if the tips I'll provide will work for someone who is not dominated by depression or suchlike, whilst trying to be productive. Since, I lose concentration, appetite, grow restless and lose the inability to express myself (or work) completely so i try not to focus on how i feel and try to find joy in little things (by completely isolating myself, of course, people never understand. Even if they say they do.). Like reading or writing or watching something. 😛 Listening to a good song. Trying to treat myself with a nice breakfast, learning new languages or idk jurst something new. It's an endless cycle which could really be relaxed through consistent therapy, i guess.
But to answer your question, yes I do know multiple languages! But i want to learn more, you know? English ruins literature when it's in translation, i want to read spanish literature and dive into its culture, arts, music, etc, without the hindrance of translation, that's true for all languages I've learned so far. 😛 Moreover, if I travel there in the future, I'd like to speak their language instead of English. Btw... what languages do you speak?
Oh my! Which one's your favourite? Defective shows, that is.
Ahhh i like every genre. But enjoy watching documentaries on serial killers and cases that influence change in law and all! I love psychological thrillers, psychological horrors the most but sometimes just watch comedy and/or romance depending on how I'm feeling! Are you watching anything at this moment?

Saiyuki meme part 2
34) What character do you think is least like yourself?
~Probably Ukoku. I’m not a psychopath or sociopath looking to snuff out life and light. And he’s super cunning and manipulative. 
35) What is a shipping you’re not on board with? (Be respectful!)
~I pretty much ship nearly everything under the sun for the most part. Or can at least understand or respect a ship. I ship I wouldn’t really be on board with though would be Li Touten x Nataku. Or Dokugakuji’s mom x Doku/Gojyo. Just not my thing.
36 ) Which Saiyuki character do you think could easily adjust to modern times?
~I’d say nearly all the main cast. I think they’ve all been through so much & they’ve learned to get really good with adapting and rolling with the punches. But if I had to narrow it down, perhaps Goku. Followed closely by Gojyo. They seem the most easy going & quickly accepting & adaptable. Likewise, I think Kougaiji would be one of the ones who would struggle the most perhaps. 
37) What is your favorite quote?
~There’s A LOT of good ones. Seeing as I have the opposite of a photographic memory... I can’t remember what my fav would be. A really good, memorable one though is where Kou overcame Ukoku’s mind control & gave him the whole speech where he wont be controlled again & his friends helped him to the light. Idk, something to that effect. Maybe I’ll come back to this question later after I find the exact lines.
38) Do you binge read the entire series or read selected chapters?
~Usually when I binge read or binge watch, it’s from start to finish on the entire series. If I just want to research something or remember a specific thing, it’s selected chapters.
39) Are you more a fan of Gensomaden Saiyuki or Saiyuki Reload/Gunlock?
~With the anime, Gensomaden. With the manga, its definitely Reload. 
40) Your favorite character became a mythical beast. What would they be?
~This.... is a tough one. If I wanted to take the easy option, I’d say it would be Kougaiji and he’d totally be a dragon. Or if I wanted to be funny, saying Gojyo being a kappa. I could see Hakkai being the male form of a Dryad. But I think my favorite is Sanzo... and the only thing I can think of to liken him to is the Phoenix. Sanzo’s “like the sun” and Phoenix is a sun bird. Phoenix’s rise from the ashes and Sanzo got burned by Kou’s fire and still rose to his feet. 
41) If you HAD to choose a character to die, who would it be?
~Well, this doesn’t say -MAIN- character. I wish I could say Ukoku... that would spare everyone so much misery... but I like the psycho bastard. So...Gyokumen Koushu. Then maybe Kou would get his mom back & he could team up with Sanzo!
42) Would you rather: Have all characters die or Have only one survive
~The question is.... would it be like Goku? Have them forget & then be reunited with the reincarnations? On one hand, it would be nice to have one survive to carry on the memory of everyone who died. But....I feel like there’s something incredibly unfair & cruel about having only one survive... so I guess I’d rather them all die. 
43) If [character] got into a fight with [character] who would win?
~Lol its hard to do these ones when I’m just answering them myself. 
44) What does Gojyo’s marking look like to you?
~I answered this one already, basically, a tribal flame
45) If Sanzo became a demon, what kind of marking do you think he’d have?
~I kinda wanna say something like the youkai Suika. Something small & round on his forehead in place of the chakra. Or it would probably be somewhere more discrete like his back or upper arm, a red color instead of black...idk the shape/design.
46) If [character] died, what do you think they’d be reborn as?
~I think Zakuro would love to be reborn in the golden age (Elizabethanera) cuz that’s when theatre, music, poetry & literature flourished. Perhaps Kougaiji/Hazel in the Victorian age and Ukoku in the Edwardian era... I know that’s not what the questions asking, but it is interesting to think diff era’s you’d put them in. 
47) After the journey, what do you think [character] will be doing?
~Hmm... I’ll just stick with Gojyo for this one. Assuming he’s still alive after the journey. I think he’d stick with Hakkai. (grudingly)Helping out around the shop if Hakkai worked/owned a shop. I could see Gojyo maybe being a bar tender or an escort/host... or whatever those equivalents are in the Saiyuki era, or just keeps raking in money with his gambling while being domestic with Hakkai.
48) If [character] had a tumblr, what would they reblog?
~This one’s a fun question. I think if Gojyo had a tumblr, the majority would reflect the 3 things he likes most- women, booze, and smokes. Probably sprinkle in some selfies of himself being all sexy, cheesy pick up lines and puns, maybe some crude jokes, more scantily clad women, and gambling tips. Then there’s probably some stuff he’d reblog for the sake of Sanzo,Hakkai, and Goku if they had tumblr as well. Monkey posts to tease Goku, life hacks for Hakkai, & random stuff that would piss off Sanzo. Probably jokes about cranky old men or something. 
49) What is your favorite animated scene?
~umm.... idk... all of Gaiden?
50) [Character]; Boxers, briefs, or commando?
~I feel like Gojyo would have an occasion for all three. Briefs when he’s planning to get with a lady or impress. Boxers when he’s lounging with the boys. And sometimes commando, mainly when sleeping if he has his own room. 
51) What 3 or more tropes fits your favorite character?
~ummm.... running gag, ship tease, and funny moments. (gojyo)
52) What are 3 tropes that describe [character]?
~fiery redhead, the alcoholic, and jerk with a heart of gold (gojyo)
53) If Saiyuki got a 4th series, what would it be called?
~Well now that there is a 4th season coming out... Saiyuki Reload Blast XD (now we just need an Ibun OVA!!!)
54) If your favorite character could control an element, what would it be?
~Fav charater’s always been between Sanzo and Kougaiji... though recently I often wonder if it’s not Hazel now. I think Lightning suits Sanzo. Fire for Kou. And Ice for Hazel. Earth for Goku & Hakkai. Wind for Yaone.
55) Was there a character you used to love but no longer do?
~I dont think so actually. I think everyone I love I still do and everyone I hate I still do. 
56) What has been the saddest moment for you in the series?
~Yakumo’s death. Yakumo’s whole chapter arc.  And the end of Gaiden.
57) What is your favorite anime/manga genre?
~Psychological thriller/horror (but I also like romance & action & drama)
58) Name 5 other characters you like along with your fav Saiyuki character.
~Spike Spiegel, Axel, Seto Kaiba, Zelos Wilder, Alvin Svent, and Snow Villiers
59) Do you prefer subbed or dubbed anime?
~Dubbed. But most of the time subbed is 100 x’s better... obviously.
60) Did you watch the anime first or read the manga?
~Gensomaden anime came first.
61) Do you seek out spoilers or avoid at all cost?
~I avoid them at all cost, most of the time. Unless it’s something I’m not planning to watch or read.
62) Do you write fan fics or draw fan art? If so, link!
~I do, on both accounts. I don’t have any Saiyuki fanfics though. If anyone really want links, I’ll send them privately in IM’s. My Saiyuki fanart can all be found on my blog. Other fan art of diff fandoms is on DA. I only have a couple of completed fanfics on fanfiction.net... most of my work isn’t finished so that’s not really worth linking, I wouldn’t think.
63) What was the most pointless filler in the anime?
~I can’t really think of anything... maybe the sauna one where Goku thinks Sanzo turns into a demon. Or the kitty one. Don’t get me wrong, I loved both those episodes... but in regards to the plot, they don’t contribute a thing. 
64) How do you describe Saiyuki to a friend who has never heard of it?
~Four guys travel west to stop the resurrection of a demon lord. Um... there’s lots of humor and action. It’s amazing. It’s.... kinda gay without actually being gay.
65) If you RP what is your favorite thing to Roleplay?
~answered this one~
66) What is your favorite Saiyuki Opening or Ending for the animes?
~The opening for Gaiden is very gorgeous, perhaps that one <3
67) What’s something you think would improve the series?
~HAVING MORE MANGA TRANSLATED AND PUBLISHED HERE IN AMERICA! And bring back some minor characters, that’d be cool to see.
68) Who, in your opinion, has the most tragic backstory?
~Geez... that’s like comparing a life time of stomach issues to someone who has a life time of mental illness... both are equally tragic. If I HAD to pick.... Yakumo.... I’m just gonna go with Yakumo. Technically, it’s not really a backstory but what’s he was presently doing. Having such a kind, soft heart... wanting nothing more but to save, shelter, and raise youkai kids... and choosing to kill them when they go berserk, perhaps with the whole mentality of ‘kill a few to save the whole’. It’s so tragic. Other than that, I can’t choose 1 over the other for tragic back stories cuz everyone has it equally bad in some way. 
I guess I can say the tie would be between Gojyo, Sanzo, Hakkai, Goku, Dokugakuji, Hazel, and Nataku.
69) Who would be best at pleasing their lover?
~It kinda depends on what said lover wants most our of their partner and if it’s true love or a fling. If they both knew what they were doing, Goku & Kou would be very thorough, patient, and thoughtful lovers. Gojyo would be best at bringing the skill/pleasure in a pure sexual aspect. Hakkai’s difficult to pin down. He’d be gentle with the same qualities I listed for Gok/Kou.... but he’d have this wall up at the same time. Sanzo... just probably wouldn’t be the best, if he got intimate at all to begin with. Hazel’s so... antagonistic. I’ll just go with Gojyo or Dokugakuji. 
70) What do you think Saiyuki would be like if Kougaiji and co were the main protagonists? Do you think you’d still enjoy it? 
~A lot less humor and more dark because it would be more from the “villains” POV. Kou’s kinda angsty. I don’t think Saiyuki would be as well recieved and loved from Kougaiji’s & co’s pov... and there’s several characters we might have missed out on.... but I think it’s something I would still really enjoy. If its written by Kazuya Minekura, she’d make it amazing regardless. 
71) What minor character had a significant impact on the plot?
~I think that would have to be Hazel Grouse.
72) On a scale from 1 - 10, 1 being not much and 10 being too much, how much does Saiyuki Gaiden hurt you?
~TEN
73) What character is still a mystery to you?
~Perhaps Koumyou or Ukoku (maybe even Yaone in the sense that we kinda know next to nothing about her... that I can recall). But with Koumyou especially, both of them are just so complex & different than I am that they’re difficult for me to understand. 
74) What is the funniest moment in the series?
~It really says something about how much a perv I really am if the very first scene that pops into my mind after thinking about what my fav moment could be is.... Gojyo & Goku wrestling & arguing on the bed and that lady walks in & thinks they’re doing, or about to do, something naughty. Oddly, I Really like the scene where Gojyo mimics Sanzo too. 
75) Who is your favorite minor character?
~Hazel or Banri or Zenon ...... Yakumo & Zakuro are p great too
76) Which character has had the most growth?
~I think that would have to be Goku
77) Which character needs more development?
~hmmmm........Lirin maybe?
