Oooh! Wellll my top 6 fav Pokemon are Mew, Blaziken, Lucario, Poochyena, Absol and Keldeo. I do acknowledge that that team would be very unbalanced in the type department, though. X'D

I've been alright! Just started my doctoral program in a different state, so it's a mix of "oh man look at me being an adult this is awesome" and "whY AM I BEING ALLOWED TO BE AN ADULT AAAAA." Stuff's kinda working out for the most part though and I'm happy about that!

How are you going today

Just woke up, lol, but yesterday was pretty awesome! Got to go to the county fair with my family and my girlfriend. Lots of fun rides, lots of treats, and I got to see my dad perform in his band at the end. c:

Ooooh haha 2014-2015ish. That was when Chatzy was big and I got a chance to make some good friends, then all our nonsense would spill onto the forums. My RP activity definitely peaked around then. The "army of darkness" VS "army of light" stuff happened too. Lots of DS fanfics. DS survivor too I think, which I won? I was pretty lonely and felt like a misfit irl, so being semi well-known on DS around that time made me super happy!

what made you decide to do an ama?

what made you decide to do an ama?

I'd always see AMA trends start up, but never figured there'd be any point to me doing one because 1. I'm pretty elusive and not too many people know who I am, and 2. My topic would probs get buried under the others. Trix's topic reminded me this trend existed and I figured it would be a decent time to toss one up cause the forum moves pretty slowly these days! Though looking at the front page I may have started something, oh dear.

top five fav series be them books or tv or movies doesnt matter!

If you had a favorite hat, what color would it be? Or if you have a favorite hat, what color is it?

1. Kid Icarus (video game)
2. Pokemon (video game)
3. Mistborn (book)
4. Warriors (book)
5. The Owl House (TV show)

The other four are pretty solid, but spot five is up for grabs! Owl House is def my current hyperfixation though.

My favorite hat is this dark rainbowy tie dye sun hat I got at pride! I can post a pic when I'm off work.

Hi!

My question for you: you’ve had Shadme as your avatar for so long, what made you decide to change it?

Quote: YesterdayFemmey

Oh god. Def the little girl from chapter 18. I wouldn't take any joy from maybe punting a child but I would be vaporized instantly if I tried to challenge any monster or god.
Update: I told my gf about this and she suggested "Pit in ring form." We're both still dubious I could take on the dog, apparently.

Ayo! Well as it turns out, I am a gay little bean and am currently v obsessed with Amity, so here we are. Figured DS would be a good place to trial run a switch of avatar for a bit!

Long answer ahead, sorry.
I adore how much of a lovable goofball Pit is! When I played Kid Icarus: Uprising for the first time, it was the first game in a while where the protagonist wasn't silent, and I really clicked with that. Totally opposite of how I'd imagined him being in Brawl. He's funny, he's loyal, he's strong, he's a hero! And he (and Dark Pit) is my main in p much all the Smash games he's available, haha.
As for Dark Pit, I've always loved the "evil version of the protagonist" characters (@ Shadow). Unlike a lot of them, Dark Pit isn't pure evil. He was made to be so, but is an imperfect clone, and thus has a lot of trouble with the concept of authority. It was nice to see him find his place in the world over the course of the game and become begrudging friends/allies with Pit. Also my favorite theme of all time is light and dark/evil and good, and exploring the intricacies of the gray areas and defying the stereotypes. My self-insert character Shadmé is also a dark-themed character trying to find out what it means to be a hero, so I always love seeing that in fiction!

Viridi mocks Pit for being named after a hole in the ground, and someone else calls him an armpit, so I could see there being a cherry pit. Or someone calling Pit one.
