1. Which anime/s shaped your childhood, (why)?

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica had a huge impact on my childhood. I had been going through a time of severe depression and anxiety and was at a complete loss. I felt like my life had no meaning, I had no friends, I wasn't going to amount to anything, and like I was just going to disappoint my parents no matter what I did. Wasting away hours of loneliness and depression on Tumblr, I stumbled across this series. The characters are what drew me in, and they are what I love about the series the most. Each of them had their own struggles, their own mental conflicts, and their own reasons to despair. They were like real people to me. I could relate to them, and seeing them fight regardless of their issues gave me courage to go on. 

2. Which anime character resembles you most? Why?

I would have to say Chisaki Hiradaira (Nagi no Asukara) Shinji Ikari (Neon Genesis Evangelion), and Ayumi Shinozaki (Corpse Party: Blood Covered). In general, I'm most like Shinji. I'm an introvert, afraid of getting hurt. My biggest fear is loneliness, I run away from my problems, and I try really hard to gain the affection of those around me. I'm similar to Chisaki because I'm shy, I don't handle confrontation well, and I have a hard time explaining how I feel. Ayumi, because, like her, I cover my fears with a fascination in creepy things. I love occult stories, cultural folklore & legends, unexplainable occurrences, and stupid creepypastas.

3. Your top 5 anime crushes.

In no particular order: 1. Elliot Nightray (Pandora Hearts) 2. Yuuta Togashi (Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!) 3. Haruka Nanase (Free!) 4. Akihito Kanbara (Kyoukai no Kanata) 5. Mochizou Ooji (Tamako Market) (mmm KyoAni sure knows what they're doing!!!) (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

4. What anime scene made you stop for a second and think, “wait, did I just see that?”

SPOILER WARNING Two scenes, actually. In Madoka Magica, it was the scene in episode 3 where Mami dies. For Neon Genesis Evangelion, it was episodes 25 and 26. (⊙_☉)

5. Whose anime character death is the most painful?

SPOILER WARNING It's a tie between Sayaka Miki, Mirai Kuriyama (even though she did come back to life), and Yuka Mochida's bad ending in Corpse Party Rebuilt. (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

6. Where are you from?

I was born in Washington, and miss it dearly. (ಥ_ಥ)

7. What’s the craziest dream you had?

I don't really remember my dreams any more. (´･_･`)

8. What does everyone else loves but you don’t?

League of Legends, high waisted shorts, Benedict Cumberbatch, and high school dances ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)

9. You can’t last a day without…?

My laptop. For obvious reasons. (n_n;)

10. What is the biggest lie told to you when you were a child?

Santa!! ( ≧Д≦) It was one of the best lies ever, and I will always regret knowing the truth. No longer will I experience the wonder and anticipation of Christmas eve and the mystery of Christmas morning. I still love Christmas, especially the warm environment. And there's still anticipation on Christmas eve, but it seems less magical now.

Thanks for reading all of this if you did! You deserve like an award or something. Go you! (ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ
