taotrooper | Fact: I actually typed "veary" today

...I really should slow down with the bear puns.

I think I become a compulsive buyer when I a) have a good amount of cash, or b) I'm utterly depressed. This week falls in category b. I bought four books, two of them in Galician because I need to learn the most basic vocabulary -and I went for easy children's books.

The ones I bought today (no, not in Galician):
- Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox
- The Graveyard Book

I find it annoying that the most interesting children's/YA books in Spanish are only released in hardcover; unless it's one of those mass phenomena like Harry Potter or Twilight, or not that popular novels that they know a few people will buy, then they get paperback (sometimes only paperback, and some paperbacks are as huge as the hardcovers). Anyway, I get to think the only edition will be the hardcover and I get it all pricey, and like a year later or less I stumble into a paperback edition and I CRY A LOT. I dislike hardcovers because it's expensive, unnecessarily shiny sometimes, and they take too much space in my shelves.

Name one of my RP characters and I'll tell you the following...

01. Full name
02. Best friend
03. Sexuality
04. Favorite color
05. Relationship status
06. Ideal mate
07. Turn-ons
08. Last sexual experience
09. Favorite food
10. Crushes
11. Favorite music
12. Biggest fear
13. Biggest fantasy
14. Quirks in bed
15. Bad habits
16. Biggest regret
17. Best kept secrets
18. Last thought
19. Worst sexual/romantic experience
20. Biggest insecurity

Muse lists are here. I pass on the sexy questions for some characters, though.

I find it annoying that the most interesting children's/YA books in Spanish are only released in hardcover;

I never really thought about it but that's true. And annoying.

Now that I think about it, most books of any kind, not only YA, are only released in hardcover. Some paperbacks can take years, even decades.

Sometimes is great to buy books with hardcover, but there are some books that deserve a better (and normal) cover... I was thinking about the last Stephen King's book (Just After Sunset) that has such a bright cover that you have to put sunglasses to look at it xDDD And of course, it's really expensive although it only has 300 pages T__T

I stopped reading Stephen King years ago, but believe me that cover can't be as bad as some YA hardcover book covers. Most of them go for magpie-worthy glittery effect, and as an adult who buys those books it's embarrassing to even look at them, more to go to the cashier.

Howl!

And even if I often complain about book here, I guess I'm lucky we also get reasonable Mexican editions, huh.

01. Full name: Howell Jenkins. I'm sure he must also have an embarrassingly normal middle name that only Megan uses when she's really pissed at him, though.
02. Best friend: IDK my BFF Calcifer? In my headcanon, he'll get along with Suliman too.
03. Sexuality: Straighter than an arrow. And metrosexual.
04. Favorite color: The most extravagant looking ones, especially for clothes. He thinks blue tones suit him better.
05. Relationship status: Very taken, to his and Sophie's mutual dismay
06. Ideal mate: I think the fact he worked around several kinds of girls and only the Sophie type sticked around says a lot about him
07. Turn-ons: Not picky in looks, but still shallow as fuck in that he likes them pretty better. Also, bickering.
08. Last sexual experience: The last fling he had in Wales. Ingary girls aren't much for premarital sex, as they're old-fashioned.
09. Favorite food: Bacon, rarebit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_rabbit)
10. Crushes: GUESS
11. Favorite music: Rock oldies
12. Biggest fear: It's... so hard to prioritize
13. Biggest fantasy: Being born blond and pretty
14. Quirks in bed: He's... creative during sex
15. Bad habits: Slithering out and everything related the worse one. I'd never finish to list them, really
16. Biggest regret: That "wizard Pendragon" accepted all those jobs from the king. Look at all the crap that brought upon! He says he regrets a lot of things, but he's not sincere; that's just whining. He doesn't even regret his contract with Calcifer, even if that was fucking dangerous.
17. Best kept secrets: H-he's not very good at it :'D He did hide the magic stuff to his family pretty well, at least until the Witch of the Waste popped in their yard. LOL OOPS
18. Last thought: The fog is seriously bringing him down. He hasn't even dyed his hair in days!
19. Worst sexual/romantic experience: WITCH OF THE WASTE
20. Biggest insecurity: .....so not prioritizing again

Hope you enjoy Graveyard Book. I loved it
Time paradox? Uh...idek, I had mixed feelings about that one. Though at this point I just want tot finish up Artemis Fowl :S

TEDDIE

I hope I do, Gaiman's novels are hit-or-miss for me. And well, Artemis Fowl I read more for guilty pleasure so I'm not that picky.

01. Full name: Teddie. Cool bears don't need no last name.
02. Best friend: Ummm, I'm taking him from right before July 10th (yet he has already his second form), so he's not that close yet to most of his canon friends -doesn't even know Nanako, even. In his game, he's getting closer to Tamaki Suoh, Shin Kanzato, and Wolfram von Bielefeld
03. Sexuality: He deludes himself and thinks he's straight, but he must be at least bicurious ~~there's a bear pun in Spanish right there~~
04. Favorite color: Blue, red, yellow
05. Relationship status: Single, to his chagrin
06. Ideal mate: He's not picky, yet he's kind of ~~shadow~~ shallow
07. Turn-ons: God, I'm not sure I want to know. That the girl doesn't want to kill him after knowing how truly weird/annoying of a date -hell even as a friend- he is?
08. Last sexual experience: ......none, let's keep it that way for now thx
09. Favorite food: Everything!
10. Crushes: Practically every female over 12 he's met. ~~And Sensei. Everyone has a crush on MC~~
11. Favorite music: He'd probably like pop mainstream music, the more bubblegummy the better. Maybe hip hop too, and that would be a terrible influence on him ~~then again, what isn't~~
12. Biggest fear: He still doesn't know what he is, so he's afraid he's something bad or useless, and people would abandon him if they knew
13. Biggest fantasy: Starting his very own harem manga? IDEK. In a more realistic fashion, becoming a member of his game's host club since damn, isn't that a dream job.
14. Quirks in bed: ........PASS
15. Bad habits: PUNS. Lack of tact and basic etiquette. He rarely shuts up. In ur town eatin ur foodz.
16. Biggest regret: That he can't help more
17. Best kept secrets: His own nature. Even to himself
18. Last thought: "If I sell enough glasses, will that pay my debt to Kyouya...?"
19. Worst sexual/romantic experience: Can't have one if you've never scored!
20. Biggest insecurity: His hollowness. Being useless to his friends.

*A* -reads this on Teddie the netbook-

fff why is he so cute

Maya Fey

Actually, I RPed her so little I lost my voice entirely. I don't know some of the questions, so no wonder I dropped.

01. Full name: Maya Fey
02. Best friend: Phoenix
03. Sexuality: No clue. Maybe none?
04. Favorite color: Purple
05. Relationship status: Single
06. Ideal mate: ?
07. Turn-ons: ?
08. Last sexual experience: ...none?
09. Favorite food: BURGERS
10. Crushes: None, again?
11. Favorite music: Soundtracks of samurai series
12. Biggest fear: That a channeling goes so out of control, the spirit she brought actually kills someone for real
13. Biggest fantasy: If she hadn't been born a Fey with powers, she would've owned a homemade burger joint
14. Quirks in bed: I guess a lot of roleplay and food fetishes, like whipped cream and bodyshots and giving fruit to the other. But Maya porn would creep me out a bit, tbh
15. Bad habits: Nothing besides her quirkiness
16. Biggest regret: That she didn't talk too much to her mother the night she got killed. Granted, Maya didn't know that was Misty, but she still feels bad about it.
17. Best kept secrets: I don't think she has one
18. Last thought: --
19. Worst sexual/romantic experience: I doubt she has one.
20. Biggest insecurity: Her medium skillz, and that she might not a good big sis figure to Pearl

LMFAO aw maya
