My name is lion. I am from "Fujiyama". I eat you.

Check these English lessons on crack.
Lesson 1: In which there's a lot of seppuku HARAKIRI. Introducing bastard dad and the lion.
Lesson 2: Lion solves a problem with apples. And the ninja doesn't like Tanaka, whoever that is.

Mental issues aside, I wonder if the creator didn't speak either English OR Japanese any well. Japanese people use Fujisan and seppuku, not Fujiyama and harakiri. (See, this journal sometimes IS educational!) The other option is that they're mocking the English-speaking gaijin. That would explain the Japanese cliches and the bad English grammar, if this is just visual snark.

Either way, I find the randomness hilarious XD

I did this meme already, but let's try again.

Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom-specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general. Question can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want.

... I can't remember what I asked you last time. :/ So I'll go for something Avatar-related, because it couldn't have been about that:

Favourite minor character(s)? Not that the icon is supposed to influence you or anything ^_^

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..............

Define minor. Is that for a character who's in less than five episodes? Or is it just characters who weren't in the plot since 1x01? Or is it the ones who aren't part of the central part, whether they collaborate in it or not? Is, like, Momo minor? Is the Fire Lord minor? Are Yue and Suki minor? Are Avatar Roku and Kyoshi minor? Is the cabbage salesman minor? (OK, that he is, nevermind)

Then, solved this handicap, it's the issue my memory for Avatar one-timer characters is BAD. I always go "...who the fuck was him/her, again?" with recurrent characters when they're back, because I totally forgot. I couldn't even recognize Jet when he was back, for instance, or what he did/wanted to do. Hell, sometimes I catch rerun episodes on Nick and I don't even remember watching that episode at ALL. So it's rather hard for me to remember minor characters who aren't mentioned ever again, or if I liked them at all.

In short, I have NO idea what to answer.

Okay, then I'll go for favourite Avatar old person (except Iroh because that's too easy, heh). Pakku? Kana? Aunt Wu? Etc...

"I can't choose between the awesome" is a valid answer X3

See what I'm talking about? Who ARE Kana and Aunt Wu?

Also, the only old characters I can remember are Iroh, Bumi, Pakku, the Guru and Avatar Roku.

Then... dunno, I guess Roku since I can't choose Iroh. I mean, Bumi is awesome and all, but he's also too over the top for me. I like moderate ecentricity myself, not *cacklecacklesnortcacklepwned*.

Much love for Roku. He had a dragon. ♥

(Also, Kana = Katara and Sokka's grandma, and Aunt Wu = the fortune teller who hit on Iroh).

:D

What is your One Piece guilty-pleasure OTP? And...one pairing you can't stand? Some of your favorite moments (it'll be tough since it all is great, but...) and maybe one gag that never gets old?

If you feel up to more...do you have any predictions for Tsubasa? Like, how's it going to end, who will end up happy or dead, why will Sakura get shoved into that glass thing, etc?

Guilty pleasure: Not really an OTP or guilty pleasure or anything, but sometimes I've found myself wondering if there's any Chaka/Pell fic out there. And for some reason the idea of Coby/Helmeppo makes sense to me, somehow.

Pairing I can't stand: Ace/Luffy. It's just that brother incest turns me off. I think Zoro/Sanji might be a bit overrated and overwhelms the fandom a tad, but I have nothing personal against it. Ah, and Smoker/Tashigi because I like him with Hina instead.

Gah, I'd need to think about the favorite moments because I have some arcs all fuzzy. So I can't be honest there. My favorite arc is Alabasta/BW to the point of obsession, though, but I also liked Baratie, Drum Island, Skypiea, and Water 7.

Gags: For obscure stuff, nothing like King Cobra hitting Igaram's head or them hiding behind trees to watch over Vivi. But I like simple things like Chopper's passive-agressiveness when he's complimented, or Ace's narcolepsia, or Sanji's heart eyes and heart-shaped smoke when he fanboys.

Tsubasa: I think they'll kill off Kurogane, Fye will survive and become Subaru part two (the revenge!), and of course we know already we'll have happy ending for Sakura/Syaoran... we just don't know WHICH Syaoran. I don't know about the glass thing (maybe it's symbolism...?) or Fei Wang's intentions the selfish part of me hopes he won't be reinvicated, so Clow and Yuuko won't suddenly be the "bad ones"

XD I watched those a long time ago. Gotta love 'em.

How often do you read fanfiction if at all?

Actually, I rarely do. I only read about characters and couples I really like, and most of the times they're minor/obscure so there's nothing on them, or are written in such OOC ways it scare me to look for them. And the times they are popular, I only find stuff that I know I'm not going to like or agree with.

So if I read three or four stories a month, it's a lot.
