Fictional Character Tag (Anime edition)

I randomly found this short tag and thought it'd be fun to try it. It wasn't specifically an anime tag but I'll make it an anime edition one this time. 

Here we go!

1. Which character was your first love? Mamoru Chiba (Sailor Moon). I still like him to this day, he's just not one of my main crushes anymore~ 

2. How would you describe all the characters you love? As in crushes, I usually like the cold type of characters, dark hair, fair skin. Those who don't express their feelings much. And if we talk about female characters, I think the ones I can identify with. But it's not always the case.

3. A character do you love that you think most people hate? Haruno Sakura from Naruto. At least people I know don't like her much. They find her annoying and useless, but I think she's a very strong character, not only physically, smart and caring. Plus, I love her unconditional love for Sasuske way too much.

4. Does one character in your life have a very strict personality? I'd say, Hitsugaya Toshiro (Bleach). He's strict and grumpy but, adorbs. ♡

5. A character you think you wouldn’t get along with? Zenitsu from Kimetsu No Yaiba. I just think I'd find him super annoying and wouldn't like to be around him much.

6. A character you’d travel the world with? It took me a while to choose this one but, I think I'd love to travel the world (and beyond) with Spike Spiegel. His chill personality would make our trips fun and filled with unexpected surprises.

7. A character you’d rely on to help you get over your fears? Himura Kenshin! I think he wouldn't judge me no matter what my fears were and, he'd help me with patience and care. He's the best. ♡

8. Where do most of the characters you love come from? Lately, anime characters. But I also love many from movies and TV shows.

9. A character you’re most likely to have weird dreams about? It depends on how you define "weird dreams" but it mostly happens with the characters I'm obsessed with at that moment.

10. A minor character you love: First I was going to say Julia from Cowboy Bebop but, I think even tho she's not in the show much, she's important in Spike's story so, Petra Ral (Shingeki No Kyojin). She dies in the first season so I think not many people remembers her much but, she was and still is one of my favorites.

11. What character represents your mentality? Ah! This is difficult cuz I it's a mix between different characters~ I've been rewatching Evangelion lately and some character analysis videos and, I realized I'm like Misato in many more ways than I thought I was. Which is not exactly good but, it's true.

I'm sure when I post this, I'll think of other characters I didn't include here and regret it but, I've watched too many shows so, it's hard to remember all of them. 😅 Anyway, that was it for this tag, maybe I'll do another one with other type of characters~ Idk. Let me know if you'd like to read that.

See you next time~! ♡

100 Get to know me questions tag

Random Get to know me post. This one is longer than the last one I did a year ago (I think?). I'm sure I already answered some of these questions before but, who knows?

The Pet Tag: Sassy 🐾

Yesterday was National Cat Day so, I think this post is perfect! (It would've been better yeasterday but, still).

Years ago, I shared a Pet tag / furry friend tag (can't remember the exact name) about Tinks, Michee and Masha. As you know, last year another furry baby joined my family and I thought it was time for her to have her own tag. Even tho I haven't had her for that long, I lover her so much so, yeah. Here is Sassy's pet tag!

Let's start!

1. What is your pets name?

Sassy

2. How did you come up with the name?

I didn't. Her previous owner named her Sassy and since she's not a baby anymore, I didn't want to change it. She's already very used to it.

3. What breed is your pet?

I believe she's a Ragdoll. Not sure tho. (I'm not too familiar with cat breeds)

4. How long have you had your pet friend?

For almost a year now.

5. How did you get your pet?

Last year I started cat sitting her. It was going to be for a couple of months but, in the end, she ended up staying for good. There are a couple of blog posts dedicated to the whole cat sitting process and why I adopted her. I don't regret it tho, she is the sweetest.

6. What is your pets favorite thing to eat?

Dry cat food and treats. I can't get her to eat other things!! She tried tuna once tho.

7. What games does your pet love to play?

She's very playful in general. She loves to play fetch, she could do it for hours!

8. Is your pet a cuddle and chill kind of pet or a let go explore sort of pet?

I'd say a bit of both. She's a hunter for sure and she's very curious but, she also has a chill and cuddly side. Especially now with the cold weather, she likes to cuddle under the blankets with me.

9. What is your favorite memory with your pet?

I guess seeing how she started trusting me and becoming a confident cat around the house is a good memory. 

10. What are some quirky things about your pets personality?

Idk if this could be considered quirky but, she likes to drink water using her paw. It makes her look very lady like.

11. What does your relationship with your pet mean to you?

Well, they (Masha and Sassy) are my babies! So, they're very special and mean the world to me. We're connected! Hehe.

12. What are some of your favorite things to do with your pet?

I love to play with her but we also enjoy lazy and cozy afternoons where we can enjoy a movie or a show together. 

13. What nicknames do you call your pet?

Sass or Tatty

14. What tricks can your pet do?

I don't think there's an actual trick she does and I don't really teach my pets to do tricks but, she does many cute things and poses.

15. What is the funniest thing your pet has done?

I'd say some of her sleeping poses are the funniest. 

16. What is the boldest thing your pet has done?

It has to be how well she adapted to her new life. I know it was a big change for her, epseically having Masha around. I think she did very well! She's a brave girl.

17. What impresses you the most about your pet?

How she started defending herself from Masha. Masha is a spoiled bully (I'm not proud) but Sassy is not letting her bully her anymore. I'm so proud!

18. Is your pet house trained or an outside pet?

She's an indoor cat.

19. Where is your favorite place to bring your pet?

I don't really bring them anywhere. I wish I could tho. Car rides are just no fun for them.

20. What is the most rewarding thing about being a pet owner?

The unconditional love pets give you. Plus, there's never a lack of laughter.

And there you have it guys, a short questionnaire to get to know my classy baby a little more. Feel free to share facts about your furry babies too! I'd love to read!

Style Tag with HitomiTomTom

A few weeks ago, my friend Tomi and I decided to do a Style Tag. It is very random and casual but we had a lot of fun answering the questions and getting to know a little bit more about our styles. I tried to make this video as short and straight forward as possible because the original one was 45 minutes long... 😅

I don't know why, some of the transitions look jumpy, I edited the video like 3 times and couldn't fix it so, even if it annoys me a little, I don't want to edit it one more time. Still hope you enjoy tho. (excuse my looks, we were doing this at my night, her morning because of our BIG time difference)

I'm also sharing the questions in case you want to answer them yourself!!

1. How would you describe your fashion in 3 words?

2. Favorite color to wear

3. Do you like putting chains on your outfits?

4. Do you wear dresses more or jeans?

5. What is your favorite fashion trend?

6. Where do you get your outfit inspiration from?

7. Where do you buy your clothes the most?

8. Wich color looks the best on you?

Most of you know I love Sailor Moon, Nana, Bleach, Shingeki No Kyojin, FMA, Evangelion,etc. But, I'll try not to mention those (at least not that much) so I can focus on the others.

 Haibara Ai (Detective Conan)

10. What is your favorite "moe" anime?

But also a Katsuragi Misato when I have to be adult-like. Hehe.

32. Thoughts on live-action adaptation?

I've only seen a few because most of them had very bad reviews. The ones I really love and enjoy watching are the Rurouni Kenshin live action movies. Characters, places and story are the same as the anime and manga. Can't wait to watch the new ones!
