OC Interview: Eli Aleksandros

Draw (or use an old drawing, don’t worry!) or take a screen of your character in an interview setting and make them answer the following questions!

---

Thank you @i-mybrunettelady and @thoseofuswhoblossom for tagging me, this was fun to do!

---

Off stage:

Eli: "Do I really have to do this? it feels so pretentious and blah"

Albus: "Yes! You are a hero to these people, and maybe knowing about you will help inspire others! You will be fine, and I'll be right over here for you."

Eli: sighs "okay."

INTRODUCTION

Can you introduce yourself?:

“Hello, I am Eli, Champion of Aurene.” After a moment of silence, Albus interjects: "You might also know him as Dragon slayer, God slayer, Guild leader, Priory Archon or Magister, Hero of Lion's Arch, Hero of Shaemoor, and ex-commander of the Pact-" "Oh my god. Albus!!" "Love you~"

What is you gender identity, orientation and relationship status?:

"I'm male, and...” looks over at Albus "engaged to that goof over there."

Where and when were you born?:

“I errrr... am not sure exactly where I was born, but I grew up within the walls of Divinity's Reach in Salma District. Well, at least until my elemental abilities started to show, and then I was sent to the Priory HQ but still inside Divinity's Reach. For the second part of that question; I am about old enough to be a sylvari secondborn.”

What is your weapon of choice and fighting style?:

“I guess I was 'classically trained' in the Priory to use the staff, so that may be what I am most confortable with. Albus helped me train with the sword when we realized we would have to confront Balthazar... that did not turn out so well, but against non-gods I can hold my own. However, now that I find myself in a bit of a lull, I have begun training with other weapon types, but that's confidential information... at least for now” he chuckles.

Lastly, are you happy?:

After a brief pause to think his answer, Eli looks down at his ring and then at Albus. "Yeah. I would say so."

FAMILY AND FRIENDS

What’s your family like? What is your relationship with them?:

"Hmm... well, like I mentioned earlier, I don't have any clues on my biological parents, but Uncle Andrew raised me like his own, and his daughter, Petra, is like a sister to me. I haven't been able to visit them in some time, but we exchange letters; they're doing well."

Have you ever ran away from home?:

"Technically yes? 'Ran away' makes it sound dramatic. As a child, I just wanted to find a place where I could figure out my elemental abilities without hurting anyone."

Would you consider marriage or having children?:

Eli looks over at Albus who is clearly waiting to hear this answer. "Okay so. Earlier, when I said I was engaged, I lied a little bit. Albus and I are actually married! He declares with joy and relief. "After I recovered from Bangar's ambush in Drakkar's lair, we decided to not waste any more time. We had been going non-stop for so long, and we were headed into an uncertain future, so we decided to just get married right there in the Eye of the North with some of our guildmates present, and Aurene of course. It was really nice actually. On the subject of children, does Aurene count?" he laughs.

Do you secretly hate one of your friends?:

"What? I don't... what? They're not really your friend if you.. hate... them? I'm not sure I understand the question."

Which friend knows everything about you?:

“Definitely Albus," he smiles "he's seen me at my best and worst. However, I do also have a couple good friends in the Order of Whispers, who I trust enough to confide in. But also, who knows what information they have on me in their archives. So maybe them too. Oh and Jory as well; again, she's someone I trust, but she's also very intuitive and a personal detective. Haha, maybe my life is not as private as I would like it to be”

ASKED BY FANS

Are you literate? Have you been to school?:

“Did you say this was asked by a fan? Anyway, yes. Like I mentioned, I grew up partially in the Priory so...”

The eeriest prediction you made that later came true?:

“So, this is less a prediction, and more a theory I had. See, I've always been fascinated by the mists and alternate realms or dimensions; fractals if you will. And I always thought there must be some way, when all the stars perfectly align for a soul to come back from the dead by traversing through time/space in the right way. And well, here I am.”

What is something you were embarrassingly late to realize?:

With an almost apologetic look, Eli glances at the floor, then up at Albus. “That I have managed to surround myself with very capable people, and that I can trust them to hold their own... aaand that I cannot do this alone; I need them.”

Do you have mental health or physical issues?:

“When you say these are fan questions... like who exactly... I'll say this. I am very lucky to have the people I have around me. They help me stay grounded.”

What is your current main goal?:

“For so long my only goal has been to survive. Except not even that. So for now I don't have any goals per se. Although I am looking forward to the Festival of the Four Winds to return. We always use it to take some time off and just be. The beaches are really nice-" "Also the Queen's Jubilee!" Albus interrupts. "Hah... On a different note, I've read so much about Cantha, and now that I've explored Elona, I'd like to see the Jade Sea, but who knows when that will happen.”

CHOICES

Drink or food?:

“Oh hmmm.. it depends on when you ask me. When we were lost in the (Magumma) jungle, between the rivers and creeks and the HUMIDITY, I never really thirsted for a drink, but a nice meal would have really hit the spot. However, while wondering through Elona, there were so many times I would've killed for a refreshing drink. So... both?

Cats or dogs?:

"Oh dogs for sure"

Early bird or night owl?:

“Hmmm... well, the Elonian sky is a true wonder that can only be perceived at night but sunrises are nice... No, you know what. I'm a night owl. Yup. Don't know why I hesitated”

Optimist or pessimist?:

"I don't think I could... I have to believe things can and will improve, otherwise why would I bother going through everything I have?"

Sassy or sarcastic?:

“I think sarcasm? I know I definitely cannot out-sass Albus.”

HAVE YOU EVER

Been caught sneaking out:

“Pretty sure it happened in the Priory a couple times. Except... I wasn't sneaking out, I was... sneaking... in.” he sighs "I wanted to get in the library after hours and keep researching...-" "OH MY GOD ELI HAHAHA" Albus bursts off-stage.

Broke a bone:

“Wait like, A specific one? I don't... Like, you realize it is statically impossible that I would have gotten this far without such an injury.“

Received flowers:

“Yeah actually! It was nice.“

Ghosted someone:

Eli's gaze wanders as he takes a moment to think of an answer. "Oh, I guess I have. There was this one time that I accidentally ghosted a couple friends... when I died HAAAA!" He boasts with unwarranted pride on his own joke while scanning the room's reactions. "Get it? cause I was a ghost!" he grins. "That was good, wasn't it?" Albus simply facepalms in the corner.

Pretended to laugh at a joke you didn’t get:

“Let me remind you again, I grew up inside basically a library full of smart people. Smart people that sometimes like to show off just how smart they are by using humor they know you will not understand because you're a CHILD.”

After the interview:

Eli: "So? how did I do?"

Albus: "You were great, as I knew you'd be. You we're yourself, and that's all I would ever ask of you."

Eli: "Thanks. I'm glad you were here with me."

I tag (with no obligation of course, I would love to catch up on old OCs or learn about new ones but you can pass!):

I feel to "new" to tag people haha. I guess I tag you the reader! If you've been waiting on someone to tag you to join the fun, this is your chance! :D

Chapter 5

Another day in this hell, call high school. I honestly don’t know what is worst, the student freaking out because it’s the end of the year or the teachers freaking out because it’s the end of the year. Especially my history teacher, he thinks we’re all going to fail because he is scared that we will not see everything we have to learn. Poor Man.

Only three weeks were left until school finished and the exams are starting next week, so yeah, it’s normal everybody is scared. Me, I have nothing to be scared about. Except in sport I never had a grade below 90%, even below 95% is pretty rare… yeah… Everything is going to be great.

“Don’t you think Lyon will want to see your previous homework or exams to see why you don’t have good grades in math?” Rogue asked, when we were, of course alone, at our cafeteria’s table.

“I’ll just say that the teachers don’t give them back, some of them do.”

“Yeah, it seems pretty rare though, your plan is probably going to fail before school ends.”

“Hey!”

“What are you talking about?” Yukino asked, deposing her plate on the table, followed by the other idiot.

“Nothing at all.”

The, almost, cold tone of Rogue’s voice kept Yukino from asking anything else but Sting didn’t care at all, sadly for me.

“How can you talk about nothing? Something juicy?  Sting said, winking.”

“Nothing that concerns you if you prefer.”

“You’re no fun Rogue.”

Soon after, Minerva came accompanied by Rufus and Orga and sat with us. Orga and Sting just started to talk about football while Rufus was talking about the book he was reading at the moment with Rogue, sure it would interest my best friend. While the guys talked together, Minerva called us to talk about the most important thing for a girl in their high school year, which I totally forgot because I was too focused on anything but this.

“So girls got any dress for prom?”

“Prom?”

Yeah the stupid air head talking to you forgot about prom…

“Korimi Lockser, don’t tell me you fucking forgot about prom?!”

“Umm yeah…”

“How can’t you forget about prom? I didn’t organize the best after party ever for you to forget prom exist in the first place.”

“Well prom is not really my thing you know…”

“Well it’s the only time you will have one so be excited! I will make sure you have fun.”

“Please Minerva don’t bring alcohol at prom.” I laughed.

“Will see.” She said, winking at me. “So since you forgot prom existed that means you probably don’t have a dress, You Yuki, do you have one?”

“Umm... actually no, I don’t have one yet, I’ve tried finding one, but my sister always insists I wear hers, but it’s… Not really my style you know.” She said, blushing.

“Yeah, Sorano’s dress was pretty revealing… I don’t know how she got away with it.” I said, imagining what her sister looked like in her dress.

“She probably used it to her advantage, the principal is a pervert. So Girls this week-end and I don’t want to hear anything, I am taking you dress shopping!”

I groaned imagining what dress shopping with Minerva Orlando looked like, good things is that I’ll probably find a dress since she won’t not let me go until I found one. She will do anything  for me to I find one.

“Oh I just remembered, Yukino how was your date with this mysterious boy Friday?”

Yukino had a date too? Wait… THAT BITCH!

“STING EUCLIFFE YOU LITTLE BITCH, YOU HAD A DATE WITH YUKINO! That’s why you wouldn’t tell us!” I said, pointing an accusing finger in his direction.

Yukino turned bright red while Sting became stiff and was trying to find a way to escape, but Orga didn’t let him get up, laughing.

“Well you see…”

“You tried to corrupt my precious little Yukino?” Minerva asked, glaring at the other idiot.

“You see why I didn’t say anything? I didn’t want to be killed by you or Minerva! Rogue, help me!”

“I’m not helping you with anything Sting.”

“Guys, please, he didn’t do anything bad.” Yukino said, blushing. “We actually had a good time.”

Sting looks at us with a look that says « I am a good guy, why are you treating me like this ».  Keep telling yourself that.

“I wouldn’t do anything to Yukino, I like her too much for this, she is my friend!”

“Why did you bring our Yukino on a date Sting? I hope you behave like a gentleman.” said Rufus. “Because if I remember well, the last date you had was a disaster.”

“Thanks Rufus…” Sting said, glaring at him. “I took Yukino to a nice dinner and I asked her to be my date to prom.”

“You what?” I said, surprised. “I was pretty sure I will have harassed my cousin.”

“I only asked her to be my prom date, why is it so surprising?” Sting whined. “Korimi, you will either ask the guy you’ve been crushing on or you will go with Rogue. Minerva will never even let me ask her and I don’t want to die, so why go with a random girl when I have Yuki!”

“You can take her to prom Sting, but you hurt her, I’ll kill you and nobody will ever find your body, ever. I can’t even guarantee what will happen to it.”

“Yes ma’am!”

After lunch it was time for us to go to our math class, I’ll probably daydream about Lyon again. Prom… I can’t believe I forgot about this. I didn’t asked anyone to be my date and nobody did, I’ll probably go with Rogue like always, since people don’t believe a guy and a girl can be friends without falling in love, so they assumed I would do everything with Rogue. Oh wait!  Could I possibly ask Lyon to be my date? They probably don’t care who we bring don’t they? A lot of girls have boyfriends from other schools or older. No, I can’t do this, he will never agree to come. I should stop dreaming and concentrate on class. Seriously, why am I so obsessed with this guy?

***

Today Sting decided that I was going to their home and that I couldn’t say anything about this. Apparently my obsession over Lyon was unhealthy, I’ll like to say that it’s not but… it probably is.

“Honestly Korimi, I was not surprised when Juvia was running after Gray and doing every little thing to have is attention. But you? I am shocked, I didn’t think you would be like that, I am pretty sure you will soon do every little thing to have his attention too!”

Hahaha… If you knew Sting, if you knew…

“You know that he could be home and I am missing the chance to make him fall in love with me for hanging out with you? I can always go home.”

Seriously, what if he really is in my house and I am missing the chance to make him fall in love with me! I only have 3 weeks left! I was ready to text my sister to see if Lyon was with her but Sting grabbed me and put me on his shoulder like a potato bag.

“Sting put me down!”

“Oh no, I am not taking the chance of you running away to your house to see him, he’s probably not there anyway.”

“What makes you say that? He could be there for real.”

“You are just hoping he’ll be there, that’s all.”  Rogue said laughing at me.

“Anyway put me down stupid, I am not a doll!”

“Never.”

Sting started to run to his house with me on his shoulder and I swear it wasn’t cool. Since my school uniform is not really long, I am pretty sure that everyone saw my underwear.Sting ran pretty fast even with me on his shoulder, we arrived in a couple of minutes, Rogue followed, he didn’t really have the choice.

“What the fuck Sting.” We heard his father say, his voice probably coming from the garage. “Put Korimi down.”

“If I do this she’ll run away!”

“Well having you as a friend would make me run away too, now put her down.”

I love Weiss, you see not every Eucliffe are stupid. Sting groaned and put me down and the first thing I did was to punch him in the stomach. It seems to hurt, good.

“Korimi, can you tell why you are friends with my son again?”

“You see Weiss, if I wanted the best best friend in the world AKA Rogue, I have to endure Sting, they come in a pack of two, sadly.”

“Poor you.” Weisslogia said laughing. “Now, Rogue, your mother wants you to help her make dinner, Korimi you should stay.”

”How can I say no to Skya’s cooking? Even more if Rogue is helping.” I smile at him.

Maybe Sting is right one night without thinking about Lyon will be good, I’ m going crazy I swear.

Invalidity

[omg, so... I may or may not have written a first part to what I hope will be a long ass series... about a Villain AU Mt. Lady. I.. kind of ended up throwing my OC in there, but why the fuck not? anyways... if this is well-received, I’ll definitely continue it soon!!]

Word Count: 2.8k

“You’re absolutely disgusting. You’re a terrible person, and I never want to see you again-”

“You really believe you’ll never see me after this? Think again. I’ll be on the front of each and every published print in Japan, and then the entire earth. You’ll remember me as more than just a pretty face; you’ll remember me as your goddess.”

It was easy for Yu to get the upper advantage in a situation. On the streets during daylight hours, everyone knew her as the likable Mt. Lady. She was loved by all, children and adults alike. But the fame was beginning to get to her. If she wasn’t on the front page of every published tabloid and magazine in Japan, nobody was allowed to be on the front.

It was this ideology that made the pro into somebody sinister, someone who was willing to cross the lines between heroism and villainy alike.

Yu Takeyama wanted to make it bigger than every other hero, no matter what.

Even if that meant turning to crime as the answer.

...

Another day, another crime, another interview; the cycle always repeated itself.

Today, us as The Lurkers just so happened to have an easy criminal to apprehend. I sustained minimal injuries, even as I haphazardly took a chunk out of a nearby building without thinking and threw it at the villain. I was lucky I didn’t injure any surrounding civilians in the process with how forcefully I threw the concrete. Today definitely wasn’t the best of days. 

And to top it off, I was berated by Edgeshot and Kamui for acting recklessly. Come on, can’t you give a girl a break every once and awhile? I’m lucky the press showed up after the fact and had no clue of the… mistake I made.

“Mt. Lady, tell us, how do you feel about the rising crime rates in Japan? Do you believe that pro heroes such as yourself and your fellow members of The Lurkers are going to be able to keep up?”

Interviews were just another part of being a pro hero. The citizens always want to believe that everything is going to be okay, that every single villain that attacks the city is going to be apprehended. I always made sure to sugarcoat the truth in order to keep chaos at bay, because hell, I’m busy enough as it is.

“Of course! It’s our duty as heroes to keep crime at bay. Just because the rate is rising doesn’t mean we aren’t doing our jobs right.” Smiling at the camera was about all I could do to ease the nerves in my stomach. Was I scared? A little. The future of society was starting to become uncertain with the number of crime syndicates rising, as well as independent criminals.

Sometimes I question if what I’m doing is the right thing. But all I could do is put on a brave face and act like everything is okay, at least for the time being.

“I see! Thank you for your time!”

“We- ...I-It’s no trouble at all!” That’s usually not how it goes, at least most of the time. I’m sure there was a reason the reporter cut me off short. 

I took a look through the window of one of the nearby shops. 5:38 P.M. Damn, it’s already that late? I guess I was so caught up with the media that I didn’t really pay attention to the time, since I was technically done patrolling a little over a half hour ago. 

I really am an attention hog, aren’t I?

…

Do I ever go out during the night? It usually depends on how busy the day was, or my mood. Sometimes I’ll go out for a drink or two, out of costume of course (since if I didn’t I’m sure my reputation would be ruined if I was seen drinking in public), at one of the local bars near my apartment. It’s not uncommon for people to recognize me, but I’m technically off-duty when my entire costume is off and put away in my dresser. It’s always nice to unwind after a long day of doing my duties as a pro, alcohol or not. 

“Ah, come in for yer usual, Takeyama?” The bartender greeted me, grin plastered on his grungy face. You could tell that he spends most of his hours here, the disgusting five o’clock shadow dusting his jawline. 

“Nah, I’ll go for a whiskey on the rocks tonight,” I leaned across the bar and placed a thousand yen bill over to him, “and keep the change. Don’t get the wrong idea, though.”

“Aye, so are you really with Nishiya-”

“Not in a million years. We’re just good friends, is all. I’m as single as the next woman that walks into your bar for a drink.” God, how I hate this dumbass. Just ‘cause I’m on the same team as Shinji and we spend time together as friends doesn’t mean shit. 

I watched him grab a glass full of ice and pour bourbon whiskey over top until it was almost ready to spill over.

“Got’cha. Here’s your drink.” 

The cheap smell of alcohol flooded my senses as the drink was slid over to me. I took it in my free hand, pinky dangling over the edge, and went over to the darker corner of the bar to survey my surroundings. Sitting down in an old wooden chair, the bar was mostly empty, save for a few of the normal groups of coworkers who frequently drink together. You wouldn’t catch me drinking with any of my coworkers, though.

There was one man, however, who caught my eye. Clad in a nice shirt and dress slacks, it seems like he just came back from working himself, and you could clearly tell that he dyed his hair, white being the predominant color on top and neatly cut raven locks underneath. He looked quite familiar to me, but I just couldn’t pinpoint exactly who he was.

No better time like the present to find out.

“Hey, you.” I spoke in a monotonous voice, my face showing almost no emotion as I tried to get the man’s attention. He looked up from his smartphone to glance at me, but didn’t give me a second thought as he went back to what he was doing.

Oh, hell no. 

I stood up and started to march my way over to his table while resisting the urge to get up in his face and cuss him out in more ways than one. His grey irises were fixed on one of the many social media platforms installed on his damn phone, which was a bit aggravating, but I guess he was used to it since he was sitting by himself. 

“Did you not hear me? I was trying to get your attention,” I placed my palms on the opposite end of the table and leaned over, staring straight into his soul.

“I heard you, I’m just a bit preoccupied, lady.” 

“Then I don’t think you’d mind if I took this from you-” The classy glass of wine that sat on the table right next to him was wide open, so of course my right hand took a dive to grab it, but then out of nowhere it seemed to vanish and reappear on the other side of him. “Okay, what the fuck was that?!”

“Don’t you know not to touch what’s not yours?” The man grinned, finally setting his phone down. “Aren’t you Mt. Lady?”

“Wow, aren’t you smart.” I snorted, rolling my eyes and sitting down across from him. “What gave you that idea?”

“Platinum blonde locks of hair styled to look the way they are, hair all the way down to the top of your ass, the ‘give me attention’ attitude? Yeah, it wasn’t that hard.” He leaned back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest and gazing down to my hands. “I never figured you as the type to go to disgusting bars like this.”

“It’s my choice, not yours. Besides, you’re also here, right? Means you don’t think this place is half bad.” 

“You’re smart and intuitive. Shame that you’re going out with-”

“Don’t you fucking dare. There is nothing going on between Kamui Woods and I, thanks.” 

“Then let me be the one to introduce myself,” he stuck his hand out over the table. “Hayato Kurosawa. I’m a pro hero just like yourself, but you’ll just have to find out-”

“Chrono, right?” I should have known, especially with the way he made his drink disappear like that. His quirk is labeled as Time Manipulation, but I just call it plain trickery. I’ve only worked with him once on a mission, and I haven’t seen him since. No wonder I didn’t recognize him at first glance. 

“-damn, you remembered. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen each other, but even then we never got introduced formally-”

“Takeyama. Yu Takeyama.” I shook his hand with a firm grip, giving him the most genuine smile I could muster. Man, was his palm sweaty.

“Ah, well, er, it’s nice to meet you? Hahaha…” Kurosawa averted his eyes, a small blush creeping onto his face. Was this dude seriously flustered?

“Anyways…” I retracted my hand back to my side of the table, palm down. “Care to share why you were sitting alone?”

“Going to the bar with other pros is unethical, at least in my opinion.” 

That entire statement made absolutely no sense to me. How is going to the bar with a couple of buds from the hero biz unethical? I decided to stay silent and not voice my opinion, but something tells me that Kurosawa isn’t all that he’s cracked up to be.

“I have a question for you, Takeyama,” he started, folding his hands neatly on the table, “why are you so interested in the media?”

“I’m sorry, what?”

“Your entire costume, at least to me, screams sex appeal just as much as your hero persona. But yet you’re so much more relaxed and carefree now that you’re out of costume. Are you just trying to put on a show to get attention?”

I instantly froze up.

At first, I wanted to be a pro so I could not only make money and provide for myself and any future family I might have, but also so that I could help those who couldn’t help themselves. My quirk turned out to be more destructive than useful in an urban area, but that didn’t stop me from establishing my agency in the big city. If I had gone to a much more rural area, I would never have gotten the attention that I’m currently getting.

Am I being fake? 

I’d like to think that I’m not, but the more that I pondered this thought, the more that I came to the realization that I wasn’t being true to my purpose as a pro hero. Does that make me a hero, or does that make me, in theory, a villain? 

Honestly, I don’t know what I am anymore.

…

I went home that night with a few more glasses in my system. 

Kurosawa thankfully escorted me back to my apartment, as the post-it note on my counter-top claimed, along with his phone number scribbled hastily below. Honestly, I’m surprised he didn’t try to take advantage of me in my drunken state. It wasn’t the first time I’d gotten horribly drunk, but it was the first time that someone had thought to escort me back to my apartment.

I’m sure I told him where I lived while I slurred my speech or some shit. 

Waking up this morning was a nightmare. Immediately, I had to rush to the bathroom and vomit all of the contents in my stomach from last night into the toilet. God, I absolutely hate hangovers. After a solid minute of throwing up and wiping my lips off with toilet paper, I walked to the kitchen and saw the note he’d left for me.

‘Text me if you want to talk about last night, or if you’re bored.’ 

“What the hell…” Kurosawa is definitely an interesting man, and who knows what he might turn out to be to me. But right now, I should probably try to get rid of this nausea.

Grabbing a bottle of water from my fridge, my mind drifted back to the words he said last night. I couldn’t recall what I said after that, but chances are I avoided the question and started to drink my problems away like usual. I hate how I got so worked up over what Kurosawa said, whether his question was out of sheer curiosity or seriousness. I went to go sit on my sofa, turning on the television and opening the water bottle, taking a swig of it before screwing the cap back on. 

The interview from last night was on. My smile was forced, my words a lie... I was no better than the criminal I helped to apprehend. I’m still no better than them. I put on a brave face to hide my fear, even now my face was scrunched into an expression I couldn’t begin to describe with words. All the movements I made were exaggerated, exuberant, fake. I wanted the camera to focus on me, on what I had to say, not the damn reporter. It seems that the cameraman got the memo and zoomed in on all of the parts I wanted to be highlighted.

That’s why, when my phone buzzed, I didn’t know what to expect. It was my day off, after all. The name Shinji Nishiya flashed on the screen multiple times, and I picked up my phone.

“Yeah, what’s up?” I propped my legs on the coffee table, laying back on my sofa. 

“Yu, are you watching the National News?” Shinji’s voice was laced with concern, which made me worry.

“No, what’s on the National News?” I picked up the television remote and changed the channel, and instantly I dropped everything. What was the headline, you might wonder?

Mt. Lady: A Hero, or a Villain in disguise?

What the fuck. 

“Last night, civilians recall the pro hero Mt. Lady endangering the lives of innocent bystanders as she violently hurled a chunk of a nearby building at a criminal. While this managed to take said criminal out, there is no excuse for this kind of behavior as a pro hero.”

“That’s very true. If she had common sense, she would have never risked civilian casualties, nor would she have purposefully damaged public property.”

“She’s only in it for the attention. Either that, or she’s just that dumb.” 

She’s only in it for the attention.

Either that, or she’s just that dumb.

“Yu? Yu, are you-” I hung up on Shinji, tears forming at the corners of my eyes.

My career, my reputation as a hero, is ruined. One of those goddamn civilians said something out of spite, and now look what happened. I’m done for. 

I turned off the television and threw the remote across the room. The tears came flowing out like a waterfall, and I sobbed uncontrollably, head in my hands as I started thinking about what would happen next. I didn’t want this to be the end of my career, no, I wanted to make it big, I wanted to be the smiling face that people of all ages would come to love and enjoy. But it was all taken out of my hands as soon as that report aired. 

But I… kind of liked the attention that I was getting. I loved the way they talked about me as if I was famous nationwide, as if everyone in Japan knew my name. If they didn’t know before, they sure did know now. That’s when I knew it had to be true, what I had thought about earlier.

If I was willing to do something like that just for the attention, I really must be fake.

But... I’ll show Japan that I don’t have to be a hero to make a name for myself.

Fuck the system, I can do whatever the hell I want and get away with anything I want to. I’ll be on the front of every magazine, be the highlight of every news report, have entire articles about me, myself and I. Today, I was reborn as a different being. One that didn’t care what the media thought, and one who wasn’t fake, because I’m being true to my personal goals.

Because this is the real me, and this is who I want to be.

OC interview meme: Hare Lavellan

I wasn’t tagged by anyone, but I was inspired by @fleshwerks. The image is also by her.

1. What is your name?

“Hare of Clan Lavellan.”

2. What is your real name?

“Depends on what you mean by ‘real’. Do you mean my birth-name? Or by the name I choose to go by? You’ll have to be more specific.

My birth name is different from my current name, but I’ve left that name - and life - behind.”

3. Do you know why you were called that?

“It started out as a nickname. Assan, my mentor and brother by choice called me ‘Hare’ since he found me while out hunting hares. Since I was eager to get rid of the name I was given at birth, I started using it as my new name. 

And Lavellan is my Clan name. Why it’s called Lavellan, I have no idea. You’ll have to ask the Keeper.”

4. Are you single or taken?

“Taken.”

5. Have any abilities or powers?

"Depends on what you mean. Do you mean magic? Then, no. If you mean something else, I’d say I’m pretty handy with knives and I make a mean druffalo casserole.”

6. Stop being a Mary Sue.

"Hahaha.

Oh, wait, you’re serious?”

7. What’s your eye color?

"Amber. Orange. Light brown. Depends on who you ask, really.”

8. How about your hair color?

”Red-brown.”

9. Have you any family members?

“My Clan is my family. Assan is my brother my choice. Other than that, I have some people who are related to me by blood out there somewhere.”

10. Oh? What about pets?

“Sparky the Dracolisk. I like mounts of all kinds. And a griffin would be pretty nice.”

11. That’s cool I guess, now tell me about something you don’t like.

"Solas. And nobles. And racists.”

12. Do you have any hobbies/activities you like doing?

"I like the stables. I enjoy working with the mounts, cleaning, caring for their equipment. Animals are better than people. Easier to read. And they don’t care what race you are. As long as you’re nice to them, they’re nice to you.

And no, I don’t enjoy the stables just because Blackwall happens to be next to them. I’m not some lovesick teenager.”

13. Ever hurt anyone before?

"Once again, depends on how you mean. Hurt some physically? Yes. Hurt someone’s feelings? Yes.

On second thought, doesn’t matter how you mean.”

14. Ever… killed anyone before?

"Yes. Even before the Inquisition.”

15. What kind of animal are you?

"Despite my name, I’d like to think I’m something a bit more fierce than a hare. Something agile with sharp claws. A cat, perhaps?”

16. Name your worst habits.

"I’m an angry person. I do my best to contain it, but I’m constantly in some state of anger.

And I chew on my nails and sometimes forget that shemlen want you to bathe regularly.”

17. Do you look up to anyone at all?

"I’m an elf, I’m pretty short. I look up at a lot of people. Especially Bull. 

But in a more metaphorical term, no. I don’t look down on them either though.”

18. Gay, straight, or bisexual?

"Does it matter? But if you have to know, I enjoy both men and women.”

19. Do you go to school?

“If I had gone to school, I would probably been kicked out pretty quickly.”

20. Do you ever want to marry and have kids one day?

“Maybe? I’m just trying to survive from day to day at the moment. If this is ever over, I might consider it. If Blackwall is up to it.”

21. Do you have any fanboys/fangirls?

"Probably. People in power often have people who idolise them.”

22. What are you most afraid of?

“To be seen as a coward. I’ve done... Things in my life that can certainly make me look like one...

Next question, please.”

23. What do you usually wear?

"Something that allows me to move freely. I’m a rogue. I don’t want something that can impede my movement.”

24. Do you love someone?

"I suppose.”

25. When was the last time you wet yourself?

"What does that have to do with anything?”

26. Well, it’s not over yet!

“Okay?”

27. What class are you? (High class, middle class, low class)

“Low class, I suppose. But the Dalish doesn’t really have classes, so now I don’t know.”

28. How many friends do you have?

"I have a lot of acquaintances, but I don’t have lot of people who’d I call ‘friends’.”

29. What are your thoughts on pie?

"I mean, it’s food.”

30. Favorite drink?

“I’m not really someone for fine drinks. Whatever gets me drunk. I enjoyed the stuff Bull gave me after we killed that dragon. Hell of a hangover, though.”

31. What’s your favorite place?

"I don’t think I have one. I’ve been to a lot of places. All have their good and bad sides. But if I had to pick, probably the backstreets of Ostwick. I know, unexpected answer. But there’s something real and gritty about it that the forests lack.”

32. Are you interested in someone?

"Maker’s breath, you need to work on your specificity! I’m interested in a lot of people. If you mean romantically, I’m only interested in one. 

But I’m interested in most people. Everyone has a story and it’s almost always interesting.”

33. What’s your bra cup size and/or how big is your willy?

"I mean, you can probably discern that by looking at me.”

34. Would you rather swim in the lake or the ocean?

"A lake. The ocean is too treacherous. Riptides, tides, you name it. Also, the salt hurts my eyes.”

35. What’s your type?

"Hm... No one clingy. No one who expects an happy ever after. No one who expects me who fully commit to them. Love is a nice, but I will never let it take over my life. I’ll never bend over backwards to accommodate a partner.”

36. Any fetishes?

"Let me be in charge.”

37. Seme or uke? Top or Bottom? Dominant or Submissive?

“I... I don’t know what most of those words mean. Do you have to define it? Why not just enjoy it? It’s probably a shem thing. They have to make everything so complicated.”

38. Camping or indoors?

"Camping. It’s more freeing than indoors. No one has any standards while camping. Indoors, I’m expected to be someone I’m not.”

39. Are you wanting the interview to end?

“I mean... Yeah.”

40. Now it’s over!

"Good. I have shit to do.”

Jo aka my writing queen I missed you!! I just saw your asks/read the most recent update of WYLEI. I hate to say it but I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING SHADY ABOUT JUNGCOCK😤😤. But literally you blew me away. Originally I thought he was with her to get back at Tae or to use her for some other motive. Also I am so touched by your #amm tag for WYLEI. You took the time to answer the questions through the characters POV. Only a queen would do something so cute and sweet (1/2)

(2/2) Hmm if only y/n can get back at junghoE for the gross move he pulled. I’m a fan of IU and this made me so sad cuz I feel bad for the girl. Oh Jo you made me a mess. I love WYLEI 😭 Also… Normally I read too fast unless its an analytical book I have to read and I’m going to be tested on it. Your story detailing make me want to re-read your stories to focus in on the details and writing which Im sure you dedicated your hard work towards (its evident af throughout your works). ILY 💕

(2/2) Queen Jo like I said before I wanted to re-read your work and I did. Ahahahahahahah this line is my fave: “A deranged cackle cut short his cliched bullshit.” After re-reading I tried to focus on details and I’m left with the question. After oc wakes up jungkook focuses on something behind her…will we ever find out what it was? Also through re reading your writing I was left with an even deeper appreciation for your talent. Your word choice and story-telling is a craft and just WOW!

First of all, so sorry for the delay love!!! Multi-part asks have been tricky bc I haven’t been on my laptop much lately. Hope you can forgive me. <333

ok anD ALWKjdLWKJAFvn you calling me a queen repeatedly =

ahhhadkjwh you make me so warm inside, thank you!!;;

bwahaha, so you caught on that Jungkook - or Jungcock as you prefer to term him lmfao - was up to no good >:D. I was always so happy when someone wrote in saying that they were onto him!! But yeah, no-one guessed that he was hiding that big of a secret LOL! I’m glad, because it had the impact I desired. I love wrenching hearts!! wlakjdwa

Yeah AMM was so much fun!! :D I need to do it again! 

I’m glad you caught that his fiance was IU hahaha, and as you’ve seen from the AMM questions, she is sweet! It’s hard to hate her!! 

You’re the first person to ask about what Jungkook was reading on his phone!! Everyone’s taken him at his word, it seems. It wasn’t a job declination, that’s all I can say for now. >;D

Also woanognwo pls, you are far too kind, I don’t deserve you and you certainly don’t deserve to be left so late for a response. TT It won’t happen again!! I love you too much!! Take care of yourself and I hope you have a wonderful week! <3333

[manga review] Men’s Kou

This is just my personal rant. I just finished ‘seems-fine-manga-turns out-a lil-shit-in the end’ kind of manga.

Men’s Kou (Izumi Kaneyoshi) - baka updates 

Description

From Serenus Dreamers:

Five minute walk to the sea. The closest train station takes 50 minutes by car. Famous private dormitory male high school Seihou is located in that super remote place. What will happen at that place where men are crazy for love?! 

BEWARE, THIS IS GONNA BE A VERY LONG POST

Good Point

Idk whether The Author intention’s to portrayed such an ambiguous moments. 

Educational purposes (life’s experiences)

Our main charas’s designed to have some painful past memories and traits, a death of our loved, unrequited love, unable to express our feelings, introverts, shy, etc. Its a common things and very humane; teenagers/HS students (mostly) have their first adult-to be-experienced in this timeline.

There’s no exact period when and which we could overcome those feelings, maybe a lifetime, maybe 3 mos, maybe years; who knows. It different with each other. But the important things are our willingness to let go the past, learn from our mistakes, and move forward to the future.

Forever but not really forever

Shoujous manga typically selling fluffy dreams, way too fluffy and occasionally way too stupid to read. I have read many shoujous manga that I dont want to read because it way too stupid. In this case, josei or any mature-ish mangas is much better.

Shoujous manga have this kind of philosophy, ‘your first love is gonna be forever and ever’. A simple reality form of classic fairy tale.

I rarely saw a shoujou manga which had a failed first love, overcome it, and obtain a new love. If there’s one, fans sometimes have their majority vote to ship female oc with 1st lead mc. Well, since shoujous type reader range from 13-18 yo, no wonder the stroyline was dreamy like.

It takes a lot of courage for shoujous mangaka to make a new POV for shoujous readers. Otherwise, their new projects unable to sell. In the end of the day, it comes back to money, eh?

* Plot

Plot wise, it’s very good. The plot is straight forward and each characters able to make a significant development. The main setting is about male high school (in deserted dorm) and their love story. 

I able to grasp the author’s core in this story:

ability to take a chance

ability to let go and step forward

a strong willful of human being

friendship and loyalty toward it

* Characters

The characters design are great , eventho the style wasnt your typical shoujo style (wide eyes and detailed hairstyle). The style itself is simple but we able to understand the whole story.

The relationship between characters drawn very well. Maybe because the author wrote it in male pov, there’s sometimes a scene/dialogue that shown in male pov. It doesnt feel like shounen-ish manga, but almost like a real life male pov. 

Each characters have their personal problems and background, but they manage to live in harmony in dorms and solve their daily problems. Disini juga digambarin kalo misalnya seseorang punya masalah itu, ga ada gunanya kalo disimpen sendiri, with sharing to our friends, we able to take step forward with their support. Still the choice to make still upon themself. What a beautiful of friendship!

imo, this is why i love man friendship rather than female friendship.

* Dialogue

I cant say much about this, since it was not an official translation. But, the humor they make sounds plausible to reader to understand. They have occasionally male high school jokes on it, which silly but entertaining. I guess this is the most fun part (for me).

Negative Traits

I pretty much understand, because this is a MANGA (a shoujo to boot), THE CHARAS MUST HAVE A GOOD ENDING, NO MATTER WHAT (business stuff, I know), but OH COME ON!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!? 

I totally pissed. Betraying and cheating is not cool. And with your best friend? Just to fucking heal your-oh-so-deep-past-scar-cus-our-important-person-didnt-understand-ours !!? yeah right, KISS MY ASS!!!

tbh, i hope the author can wrap the ending more realistic, it sucks. like everyone can really forgiven their best friend betrayal. even though Kamiki and Takano affair didnt emphasize what they’ve been doing for the past 4 months, but God know it was an affair afterall.

So, Author-san, did they for the past 4 mos comforting each other with:

secret phonecalls - what? they just talking about their pain? 

secret meeting - hmm? just having a dine in and talk about some painful moments/feelings? or did you guys comfort physically too?

petty talk - i understand your loneliness, and i hope we can fix it together even tho we dont love each other (we have bf/gf).

wow, talk about some serious bullshit here.

I dont think that Takano and Kamiki have a platonic relationship. The Author hints too many mysterious and WTF moments between em. Moreover, WHAT WITH THAT BLUSHED FACE!!!!

Hohoho, what an obvious feeling, dont you think!!!?

And in the end, it turns their affair wasnt that big deal. They simply forgiven because Kamiki have a knight complex and Takano just studied abroad, they comforting each other while doing nothing wrong (talk about self justification here). 

Dude, you missing the point. It’s not what you supposed to do in a relationship. That way of thinking is what all betrayers do (and thought) all over the world. You dont trust and respect your original partner in all manner accounts. You just completely disregard their true values, their feelings and somehow put them in a whole different dimension. You think you doing this for their sake, but whose sake we really talking about?!

To make it worse, even their own friends; Genda, Nogami, and Hanai - in unison that ‘their’ affair happen for some important reason and Maki and Fuyuka should forgive ‘em. YEAH RIGHT. TELL ME STRAIGHT TO MY FACE IF THERE’S ANY IMPORTANT REASON FOR ALL AFFAIRS IN THE WORLD.

OVERALL THOUGHT

This manga kinda complicated for me, i like it but at the same time i hate it. So maybe someday, I will give it a try to read it again; eventually like it. But for now, I just gonna avoid it as much.

Personally, this is was a quite good manga. The characters, plot, and artwork quite my liking. This is a shoujou manga but in the beginning it has a shounen ai tone (eventually it’s gone after the 2nd volume till end). I love such a setting, all boys dorm with many ikemen around, and it reminded me with  Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi ni Kike! (Miyuki Abe) Well, tbh i kinda hope it turns more soft BL tho hahaha.

It started very good, a lot of humors side (daily life at boys dorms, school and friendship - totally hilarious), romance (those very typical high school), and slice of life. The climax was unexpected, but still good; well at least the Author able to make me swearing a lot at this chapter (hey, I’m praising her here). But seriously, the ending was totally SHIT.

OC Question Meme!

I was tagged by @notebookalpha! Tagging @nothisis-ridiculous, @aceryder and @themarchg1rl (only if you want to do it) and anyone else who wants to do this, too, please go ahead (and tag me so i can see your answers!! :>) Doing this for Sara Ryder as I’ve written her in the All In/Repopulating Heleus continuum, as I need to get back into her headspace bc I’ve been struggling a lil bit! 

Asked someone to marry you?  Innocent! She’s not ready for that kind of commitment, not yet, anyway. 

Kissed one of your friends? - Guilty!

Danced on a table in a bar or tavern? - Innocent! She’s more of a flirty/talkative drunk, tbh. Ever told a lie? - Guilty, but people hardly ever believe her. :( 

Had feelings for someone whom you can’t have? - Guilty, and a pretty important part of her backstory, as well. (Will Scott spill the beans? Only time will tell.)

Ever kissed someone of the opposite sex? - Guilty!

Ever kissed someone of the same sex? - Guilty!

Kissed a picture? - Guilty! (She likes her kisses, okay. Also, she’s a mess.) 

Slept in until 5pm?  Guilty! She sometimes just...crashes if people don’t need her to do anything.

Fallen asleep at work or school? Oh, boy, yeah. Mostly at school moreso than work. Held a snake? - Innocent!

Been suspended from school? - Innocent. 

Worked at a fast food chain/restaurant? Innocent.

Stolen something? - Guilty. She was a kid and it was TOTALLY a learning experience.

Been fired from a job? - She kind of quit before she could be fired. Yeah. We’re sticking with that story.
