[helloanime247-blog]

For the One Piece character question thing, I'm gonna give you: 1. Monkey D. Luffy, 2. Nico Robin, 3. X Drake, 4. Jinbe, 5. Gecko Moria, 6. Buggy, 7. Aokiji, 8. Akainu, 9. Tashigi, 10. Marco, 11. Magellan, 12. Shirahoshi, 13. Momonosuke, 14. Monet, and 15. Bartolomeo! :P Sorry, stole some of the ones you asked me, you just picked great ones!! XD

1. MonkeyD. Luffy: Whatis your dream job?

I honestly have no idea and it seriously kills me that I appear to be wandering around aimlessly not knowing what my dream job is!! :( I really just want a job where I go to work everyday and feel both happy (and incredibly lucky) that this is my job!! I’m still waiting for some ‘sign’ to tell me what my vocation in life is.....hahahaha!! Unfortunately, I must endure my current misery until that ‘eureka’ moment comes along. :P Maybe Gintoki will hire me to work as part of his Odd Jobs gang!! ;) :P

2. NicoRobin:What was the first book that you can remember reading?

I remember the first books that I ever borrowed from my local library were ‘The Famous Five’ series by Enid Blyton. I was just blown away by the adventures that they went on! I always craved adventure and I still do....I would love to (one day) go on some sort of epic adventure myself! :D

I also discovered ‘The Harry Potter’ series when I about seven years old. I remember going into town with my Mum and picking up ‘Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone’. I saved up my pocket money to buy it and when I got home I distinctly recall sitting on my bed to begin reading it. I couldn’t put it down, my Mum kept calling me to eat my dinner, but I kept refusing to go downstairs. I finished the book before I went to bed, I was such a weird child! XD

3. XDrake: Ifyour dad was a pirate, and you were captured by Marines would youserve for them?

No, I don’t think I would, as I really hate the Marines. I’m only on episode 27 of ‘One Piece’ so my knowledge of them is still a little bit hazy. However, in the earlier episodes I came across a Marine called Fullbody and he was such a despicable human being. He was both arrogant and nasty, if there are two traits that I absolutely cannot abide in a person....it’s definitely those two. Fullbody acted as if he was better than everybody else, which was ultimately his downfall, as Sanji’s reaction was AMAZING. Sanji certainly used some words of wisdom to bring Fullbody down a peg or two, which he most definitely deserved.

4. Jinbe:Would you take up Luffy’s offer to be in the crew or act as anally?

I would definitely love to be part of Luffy’s crew!! I already mentioned that I have a thirst for adventure, so what would be a better way to quench this thirst than to set sail with Luffy and his gang of pirates! It’s always said that sometimes the journey is more important than the destination. This would certainly be true if I could become a member of the straw hats. I mean, it would be great to find the elusive treasure that is named one piece, however, it would also be pretty great to be able to be friends with Luffy and the rest of the gang! Also, as we would be setting sail and having so many adventures along the way.....life would indeed be wonderful!!

5. GeckoMoria: Areyou fan of horror movies?  If not, what was your worstexperience.

I am most definitely not a fan of horror movies, I like psychological thrillers, but the horror genre is most definitely not my thing. Emmmmmmm.......my worst experience was probably more embarrassing than anything else!! I remember I went to see a horror movie with my friend, unlike me he’s obsessed with this film genre! I can’t recall the name of the film that we went to see, but it was terrible....and when I say terrible, I mean terribly bad! Anyway, this really ridiculous moment happened in the film.....and I screamed so loudly......and nobody else screamed at all........everybody started laughing!! I immediately went bright red, and in that moment, I just wanted to leave the cinema! XD

6. Buggy:Are you a leader or a follower?

I have my own beliefs, my own opinions and my own way of dressing! If anybody goes against what I believe in, then I will engage in a lively debate with them! I will never willingly accept what another person says to me to be the ‘Gospel truth’! I like to think of myself as being able to independently evaluate a situation for myself.....that doesn’t mean to say that my mind can’t be changed. However, you must present a good case for me to undergo this change of mind. I don’t know if that’s necessarily being a leader, I think it’s just more of a case of being true to yourself.

I used to always be a follower when I was younger, as my first friend was a bit of a bully towards me! I think that negatively impacted on my self-confidence, as we were friends from junior infants up until first class. When I finally stood up to her....it was one of the best things that I have ever done and from that point on I told myself that nobody would treat me like that again. 

7. Aokiji: Wouldyou throw away all position and power in your job because you don’tagree with the ethics of the organization?

Yes, I actually think I would!! I have certain core beliefs that are like my foundation stones which guide me through life....almost like a moral compass. I would like to think that no amount of power could corrupt me into accepting unacceptable ethical practices by any organisation. 

I was once involved in such a situation where I tackled one of my teachers over his absolutely appalling views on animal rights. From that moment on.....he HATED me with a passion.......he really turned on me! He actually told my Mum that I was too headstrong for my own good......!! 

8. Akainu:What kind of justice do you believe in?

I believe that if you commit a crime then you should be made pay for your actions! Of course in an ideal world there would be peace and everybody would be able to live in harmony with each other! Unfortunately, this type of world is non-existent, therefore, certain measures must be put in place in order to prevent things such as murder from occurring! If these measures didn't exist, then society as we know it would descend into a state of lawlessness. People themselves have different beliefs as to what is right and what is wrong. This is why we look to those in power to guide us in the right direction as to what is the proper conduct. We all know that government officials, the police force etc are corruptible! This means that often those who should pay for their evil deeds end up not paying for their crimes. Unfortunately, money seems to be the deciding factor in determining whether or not a person does indeed go to jail for their crime. I personally feel as if we should treat others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Our moral compass should guide us through life and we should have the presence of mind to know right from wrong. If somebody carries out a premeditated murder then they should pay for their actions by spending the rest of their life in jail! 

9. Tashigi:Do people ever tell you that you look like someone they know?

Emmmmmmmm....no......I don’t think that anyone has ever told that I look like somebody else!! :( I did once get mistaken for being a boy though, does that count??!! :P If you have any ideas about who I may look like.....please tell me!! :P

10. Marco:If you could have any devil fruit, what would it be?

I had to look up the different types of devil fruit that are available....and out of all of them....I would probably eat Ope Ope no Mi, as it definitely seems like the most useful fruit! 

11. Magellan:Are you allergic to anything?

Yes, I’m allergic to pollen, as I suffer with hay fever! :( I have a spray that I use whenever I get a headache or sore eyes! It also means that I normally don’t wear perfume, I especially try to avoid perfume whenever I have to study....as my brain wouldn’t be able to function at all!!

12. Shirahoshi:Do you hold grudges?

Emmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......yes.....I hold grudges....eeeekkkk! I once had an argument with my friend that lasted a couple of months!! I was just so angry with her that I didn’t want to see her at all!! XD 

I also used to hold a grudge against people who had hurt me in the past, however, I slowly realised that this type of grudge was hurting me more than them, so I gradually learned to overcome it! Sometimes you need to move on for your own sake!

13. Momonosuke: Whenwas the last time that you had a nightmare?

Thankfully, I haven’t had a nightmare in quite a long time! However, I do have a recurring one where I’m being chased by a witch! I spend that entire nightmare running and running away from her! I always wake up in a cold sweat from that dream! XD

14. Monet:Do you enjoy writing?  Share a snippet?

Yes, I love writing!! It’s one of my favourite hobbies! :D Emmmmmmm.......I would be too nervous to share a snippet......but I will tell you that I’m currently writing a novel based during the Second World War! I love German history and I’m especially interested in politics! Therefore, it’s a story about the struggle of a Jewish family, who are living in fascist Germany! It documents their desire to escape from this society, however, will they be able to escape in time to avoid being sentenced to death??!!

15. Bartolomeo:Are you massively obsessed with something?

Yes.....I’m obsessed with anime guys......I really wish I was joking when I say that! :P

I’m also currently obsessed with collecting anime figures!! I check the websites of both AmiAmi and Mandarake at least once a day! HELP ME!! 

Finally, I love anime so much! I tend to incorporate watching anime into my daily routine!! XD

Thanks for asking me these questions, Sophie! @akatsuki3519

[akatsuki3519]

For the 'One Piece' ask.....I'm going to give you the following questions to answer: 1. Sanji, 2. Tony Tony Chopper, 3. Nico Robin, 4. Eustass Kid, 5. Jewelry Bonney, 6. Urouge, 7. Boa Hancock, 8. X Drake 9. Donquixote Doflamingo, 10. Sengoku, 11. Akainu, 12. Tashigi (or do they tell you that you look like somebody famous......or has anybody even told you that you look like an anime character), 13. Marco, 14. Zeff (:P), 15. Absalom and 16. Monet!! Feel free to pick the ones that interest you!

Yayyyy thanks so much!!

1. Sanji: Do you view yourself to be a good cook?

I can cook, I don’t think I’m particularly good one naturally though! ^^” I just follow recipes exactly… and it normally turns out okay!! XD

2. Tony Tony Chopper: Do you have a sweet tooth?

YES, definitely!! I’m terrible haha, I eat way too many sweet things! >.

3. Nico Robin: What was the first book that you can remember reading?

I have no idea, but the earliest memory I have of actively reading a series is the Series of Unfortunate events so let’s go with that! 

4. Eustass Kid: Do you think that you are handy with electronics?

I’m pretty handy! Phones I’m kinda iffy with, but laptops, computers, consoles etc. I’m generally quiet good with! I had to help out with a number of technical difficulties during my rotations actually, no one else could figure it out haha…

5. Jewelry Bonney: Do you enjoy buffets?

YES, I absolutely love them! I have a small appetite (eating little and often rather than a lot at once), but at buffets I absolutely have to try everything and generally go all out! :P  

6. Urouge: If you had wings, where would you fly to?

Japan, because I really wanna go and I’m terrified of planes…! 

7. Boa Hancock: Do you believe in love at first sight?

Definitely not, since I think personality plays a major role in love so!

8. X Drake: If your dad was a pirate, and you were captured by Marines would you serve for them?

No, I don’t think so… I know nothing about real world pirates and Marines lol, so giving this a more detailed answer on a One Piece slant, the Marines are so corrupt I don’t think I’d ever serve for them, I’d rather be a pirate… although there are some Marines I would definitely serve under if I had to be a Marine (Smoker, Tashigi, Fujitora, Coby, etc.), you know… the ones with a decent sense of justice lol… 

9. Donquixote Doflamingo: If you were the king of your own empire, what would it be called and what kind of place would it be?

Ohh, emm… I’m really un-inventive so I have no idea what I’d call it… but I’d definitely like for it to be like Dressrosa (before Doffy took over obviously!), so like… a relatively warm/tropical place with a lot of culture and a really good sense of community!

10. Sengoku: Do you enjoy senbei?

I’ve actually never had them, but I think I’d like them as an odd snack, I don’t think they’d be one of my fave things though!

11. Akainu: What kind of justice do you believe in?

Well not Akainu’s anyway… >.> This is a very difficult question to answer, I thought about this for a while… I think there should be somewhat of a correlation between severity of a crime or action and the consequence of said action, but I definitely think that justice should have a sense of ‘heart’ rather than being purely a ‘head’ thing, if that makes sense… (something Akainu severely lacks) I don’t think every situation should fall under a same set of rules as there are always some differences that may require two similar situations to be handled and dealt with differently. 

Using One Piece as an example, I think the way Fujitora dealt with the whole Dressrosa issue was fantastic, it’s one of the reasons he’s one of my favourite Marines, and he’s such an excellent contrast to Akainu in the narrative of the show. I think Luffy has a really excellent sense of justice too! 

12. Tashigi: Do people ever tell you that you look like someone they know?

I was once told I look like Gwyneth Paltrow but I really don’t think so at all haha… also, I was cosplaying Shirley from Code Geass at a con one time and I met Hirokatsu Kihara (an anime writer/producer who worked on Code Geass), and he told me I actually looked really like Shirley so that was pretty neat haha! XD

13. Marco: If you could have any devil fruit, what would it be?

Ohh man emm, I think it’s gotta be Law’s, the Ope Ope no Mi/Op-Op fruit, it would be really handy from a surgical/veterinary point of view haha! You could also have a lot of fun with it too, with the personality swap thing and stuff… :’)

Also, contrary to popular opinion, I really like Rocinante/Corazon’s devil fruit, the Nagi Nagi no Mi/Calm-Calm fruit, sometimes I think it would be nice to just block out sound for a bit you know lol… it would be handy for sneaking around too :P

14. Zeff: If you were stranded on a rock with a bag of gold, a bag of food, and a scrawny hungry child, would you eat your foot?

Whyyy haha! No, I really don’t think I would…!! 

15. Absalom: If you could be invisible, where is the first place you would go?

Hmm… I’d probably just go wandering around at night or something haha, I’m such a night person but obviously wandering around or going for a walk in the dark can be a bit dodgy and can be kinda scary depending on where you are, so… I’d just like to go for a relaxing night time stroll haha! That’s such a simple answer sorry haha

16. Monet: Do you enjoy writing? Share a snippet?

Yes, I love writing!

A young man stood in the middle of avast, empty room. Large, gold pillars stood around at intervals, anarmored guard with spear in-hand stationed at each one. Tapestries of varyingcolours and sizes were dotted along the walls, intricate designs and scenes stitched onto every piece. An older, irritated lookingman sat at the top of the room on a throne-like chair. A women stood to hisright, her eyebrows furrowed in concern. 

The room was eerily silent as thetwo men stared each other down. No one spoke for some time until the quiet was broken by a loud, booming voice that seemed as if it could bring the very walls down. 

 “I’m starting to get sick of your endless whining, boy,” the man on thethrone growled, “every day you come in here spouting the same nonsense, andevery day I tell you the same thing – it’s not happening.”

 “But it is NOT nonsense!” the young man retorted, “if you left thecastle you would see it for yourself! Our people are starving! There is no food!Their fields have been destroyed by the stupid war that you have started andthe neighbouring countries will not import anything because they don’t want tohave anything to do with us!”

 “Enough! Not another word out of your mouth! I’m the one in charge here now in case that has slipped your mind!Get out of my sight before I have you forcibly removed!”

 There was a short moment of silence. The tension in the air was palpable.

  “I’m notleaving this time…” the young man continued, his hands clenched into fists, ‘not this time…”

I’ve never put any of my writing on here I’m kinda self conscious, but anyway there it is, it’s done now… ^^”

Thank you soooo much for the options Rachel, this was super fun!!
