[elegyofthemoon]

Obviously the machines in nier automata are really funny with the way they mimic absolutely everything to do with humans and the old world of earth, even mimicking animals for no good reason. But I think the shades, and even humans, in the first nier have something WAY funnier going on, where Roc wasn't even a human but was the smartestest puppy ever and decided to do the same thing as all the other humans did but just decided to keep being a dog. Contrasted with the Facade residents where they mimick old humans, and then in automata there are a whole clade of machines that mimick them. While all the other replicants that mimick humans in nier don't really have machine counterparts later. Unless you count the forest kingdoms but there's no real analogue to that in nier. Very funny video games here

Tagged by @simplyghosting! Wow, thanks!

Name: Charles

Nicknames: I went by Charle for a while, but i’ve also been known by Hummusman300, thanks to some of my youtube days. Roundy isn’t a nickname, it’s more of an in-joke from the discord server I run.

Zodiac: I think I’m a Capricorn, but when I tried to look it up, I found that I’m ALSO a Pisces and ALSO a Sagittarius. But I think I’m a Capricorn.

Height: it fluxuates between 5′10″ and 5′11″

Languages: English. Bits of broken Italian, Irish, and Japanese as well, but I’m not sure those count any more than highschool Spanish.

Nationality: USA

Favorite season: Fall. I like pretty colors, and not too hot, and no snow yet.

Favorite flower: You know, I don’t think about flowers all that much. But in the spirit of The Little Prince, I’m gonna have to say a rose.

Favorite scent: citruses, freshly brewed coffee, the smell of literally anything baking, Garlic/Shallots/Onions being cooked

Dogs or cats?: Cats. I’ve got nothing against dogs, except that I’ve been terrified of larger dogs my entire life due to a childhood incident that I don’t remember. Small dogs are ok though, but lots of yipping can sometimes trigger my hypersensitivity.

Number of blankets: All of them. A fuzzy one on the bottom, one above that to match the fitted sheet, two comforters, and a weighted blanket.

Dream trip: Trips are meaningless unless they’re done with people you’re close to. I’ve been around lots of places, like Italy, Ireland, England, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii, on vacations with my family, so travel is a thing I’m sort of used to, even though I hate doing it. I think it might be worth it to go to Japan, or back to Italy or Ireland, as long as I get to bring @the-backspin-alchemist and/or @katoreikakei

Blog established: March 2014, but I dropped off the face of the earth for a while after dropping out of cool leg. I’m back now, and BETTER THAN EVER.

Wish i could delete all my old whiny-ass posts, though.

Random fact: Back when I posted some of my writing to deviantart, (I don’t do that anymore, please don’t look for me), I think I stopped someone from hurting themselves real bad. I don’t know the person, I’ve never spoken to them again. But I told them they were loved and that life is worth living. ...I hope, whoever they are, that they’re safe and happy.

Gender: Male

Current time:  It is 10:46 AM.

Favorite fictional character:  Oh, god. Don’t make me choose. So many. This is literally gonna change every time you ask me. Although, I think, if I absolutely had to pick one, right now presently? I’d have to say Paula from Earthbound. She gets kidnapped, and her response is “Well, I definitely could break out on my own, but I really want to meet this Ness guy, so I’ll just telepathically ask him to come rescue me.”

Coffee, hot tea, or hot chocolate?:  I like them all! But if you made me pick one, it depends on the time of day! Coffee in the mornings, tea in the daytime, afternoon, and night, and hot chocolate as a treat after shoveling snow.

Average hours of sleep:  6-8. It varies depending on my mental state. I’m usually fine with about 7 though.

Favorite artists:  Train, Counting Crows, Barenaked Ladies, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Dido, Carlos Santana,

Stuck in my head: The Forest Kingdom theme from Nier: Automata. I just played that part of the game last night.

Last movie I saw: Onwards, i think it was called? That pixar one about the elves and the magic. It was honestly way better than I would have

Last thing I Googled:  ‘Homestuck Array Modus’. I had forgotten the specifics of how it works, and even though I’m conducting research onto how I should write Skaia Hates You, (by reading homestuck itself, which is more of a chore from this angle, and not actually fun.) I remember John getting Array modus way later than I am currently, whereas I needed the info now for writing purposes.

I’m trying to clean up some of the obnoxiousness of Homestuck early on, for SHY, just so I can focus more on the characters and their stories, rather than bullsh*t inventory management. So everyone gets Array Modus.

Other blogs: I run @rustedwhitechocolate for an RP with my characters, but I don’t use it much, I dunno what’s happened with it. I run @metalangelsuzu as another RP blog, attached to this one, but I’m thinking of deleting it. And finally there’s @thegreybard for an interactive idea that Backspin and I planned called Cantor’s Quest, (Made in the style of like, Ruby Quest or Problem Sleuth), but never properly got off the ground, because neither of us got off our asses to art, and we didn’t think it would get enough traction. They’re out here cluttering up cyberspace, and we really should think about deleting them.

Do I get asks?:  Sometimes, but not as many as I’d like. I liked it when I got a bunch of asks for the Skaia Hates You AMA, that was fun.

Reason for URL:  So, I have a youtube channel, where I used to do gaming stuff in highschool, because my best friend at the time got me into LetsPlays. Eventually, I joined a minecraft server for small LPers, run by a cool dude going by IAmTheFusedShadows, i dunno if he has a tumblr, I haven’t heard from him since that server closed down. Anyway, I told the people there that I was named Charles, and earned the nickname Charlezard, since I was doing, I think my Mystery Dungeon series at the time, and was playing as a Charmander. Anyway, that’s why I’m Charlezarrd! (The version with one R was taken).

Followers/following:  97 followers, following 40 people, many of whom are inactive former mutuals or alt accounts. I’m scared of following more people because I want to actually keep up with what I see on my dash, and not lose updates from the peeps i like.

Lucky number:  3 and 14.

Currently wearing:  Dark blue-grey cargo pants, a white oktoberfest tee that my dad gave to me when it stopped fitting him, two hoodies, one light grey, and the other blue with dragons all over it, and finally yellow socks with Wario on them, which my sister got me for christmas.

Dream job:  I’d love to run an independant digital media studio one day, with the help of @the-backspin-alchemist. So far, so crushing it!

Favorite foods: Prime Rib, Steak, Omelettes. ...Sorry, that’s a MOTHER, joke. It really depends on what I’m in the mood for, but I’m a big fan of authentic ramen, or a really good burger. I could go for a baked potato right now, too...

Instruments: I played piano in middle school. Pretty sure I’ve forgotten everything. Does it still count?

Favorite song (That Isn’t a VGM): Feels Like Fire by Dido & Carlos Santana. Ooh, or Odds Are by Barenaked Ladies. Ahhh, this one is tough, there are so many good choices!

Tagging, some old friends, some new friends: @scribbleflow @azavezel @chie-arale @ultipoter @claudev0nregan @katoreikakei @over-and-underhill @barakoodra @louceph

I don’t even know if some of these people are still active, or if you even want to do this. To those tagged: Absolutely no pressure, I don’t expect anyone will follow-up to this, I just tagged people I think are cool. You can politely just ask me to not tag you again, and I will respect that. As... Any decent person should.
