Jessamine:
Aisukohi : Who are your favourite characters/scenes in Vikings? My favourite seasons are 2 and 5, as 2 explored more of Athelstan, and 5 had Alfred in it. Really pretty cinematography too, with Athelstan and Floki seeing and describing their visions they experience~


I'm so sorry, I never checked back after my last post in this thread, but to finally answer your questions lol...

My favorite characters have surprisingly been all women (I tend to gravitate toward male characters). Lagertha will always be my #1, but I adored most other major female characters because I enjoyed watching their development as they rose to some position of power. One scene that will always stick with me is Sigi's last moments (not sure if I spelled her name correctly). I enjoyed the Athelstan and Floki arcs, though their closures made me sad for different reasons.

By the way, I'm STILL working on finishing the entire series as I tend to watch dozens at the same time and just bounce back and forth lol.

@vaudevillain: Oooh, I'd love to see your cosplays if you're comfortable enough to share! All those characters sound great! I'd love to cosplay Nia from Gurren Lagaan, but I have a feeling her hair would be the trickiest part because of the coloring. She's one of my favorite characters from that series, but Kamina will always be my #1. <333 His character got me through some rough times, which is weird to say, but I told his voice actor that when I saw him at a con once.

Somehow I thought you meant a different series when you said BNA--I'm so used to seeing it abbreviated BNHA, but I totes know what you're talking about now as it's once of my favorite more recent series lol. Bakugo is my favorite character from that series. As for villains, Dabi was always my favorite, even before the big reveal in the latest season (I haven't read any of the manga, so was just as surprised as anyone else). The big reveal made me love him more, honestly. Also I love how they're doing Toga's involvement too, and my heart died a little with her in that arc.

I loved watching Soul Eater, but again, don't really read manga, so I wouldn't have known the differences lol.

Guess I'll list off series I've watched/completed and loved so far off the top of my head, in no particular order...Inuyasha, Demon Slayer, Gurren Lagaan, Tokyo Revengers, Tokyo Ghoul, Dr. Stone, Food Wars, School Rumble, Fruits Basket, Death Note (honestly didn't care for that series for lots of reasons, but figured I'd say I watched it), Naruto, Naruto: Shippuden, Hunter x Hunter, Fairy Tail (still watching it), Cowboy Bebop, Princess Jellyfish, The Wallflower, Ouran High School Host Club, Komi Can't Communicate, Aggretsuko, Cyberpunk, Blood+, Blue Period, Darker Than Black...honestly I know I'm forgetting lots of series, but off the top of my head, those are the ones I've watched.

@goth: Late reply is late. But thanks! I lean towards non-human avis, so I experiment with all kinds of poses until they just click. I think this is one of my more wacky avis. One day I'll post them all in a thread, probably the Undercurrent so I can just add post by post.

Also agree with Alexia--your avi is cute!

@Alexia: Saaaame, but can't like everything, and that's fair. Some schemes I avoid like the plague.

@Alexia: Thanks! It helps that several items already have matching colour schemes, so I use that to build off of. I've been wanting to make another avi with this belly mouth pose lol. I wish it came in more colours than it already does.

@Alexia: You're welcome. :3 I went a little wacky with mine just now lol. Something different, I think.

@goth: Good idea. xD I feel like a lot of memes could just be faces, kinda like the ones used in the Showstopper orb item.

@Alexia: They do suit your avi.

@vaudevillain: You're welcome!

Haven't heard of 'The Vampire Dies in No Time' but I'll keep it in mind if I want something funny to watch.

I don't read much manga, but I sometimes look for it if I'm inpatient to wait for new anime episodes. I did it when Naruto was still running lol. That's good to know that Chainsaw Man takes a different direction in the anime from the manga. I just finished the first season of AOT and barely started the second season.

I've been curious about BNA, so might give that a try. Ace Ventura movies were great, so I'd have loved to see your cosplays. xD Who did you cosplay from Tokyo Ghoul and Gurren Lagann? Devilman Crybaby is another series I was interested in trying, as well as Panty and Stocking. I've got so many series to try, it's not even funny. One time I was trying to keep up with series both watched and want-to-watch on a site, I think it was called hummingbird.me? or something?? But I got overwhelmed trying to track it all that I just gave up and forgot my login info altogether lol.

As for cosplay, I don't have much experience with homemade cosplay. When I did Izumi Curtis from FMA, I bought a lab coat and altered it to look more like hers, and altered some sandals as well. If I had the time and space, I wouldn't mind learning how to sew with a sewing machine. I'm decent sewing by hand, but obviously that takes time too. I'd like to eventually make Juuzou's scythe from Tokyo Ghoul since the version cosplayed as mainly uses his scythe, but might make a jacket later with his knives. That'll be tricky getting through prop check though. xD

@vaudevillain: To continue our conversation in comments (that way you can earn volts for your posts!)...

That's awesome that you've been to so many conventions. :) I've mostly been to anime ones, plus one for tattoos, but I'd like to go to more of those. My guy wants to take me to EVO in Vegas one day, but I have a feeling I'd get bored out of my skull after a while since I'm not much for gaming anymore.

As for anime series, I've been meaning to watch Chainsaw Man since I hear it's so good. I like a lot of different series from older to new. If you asked me to pick one single series to be my favorite, I'd say it's impossible. Currently watching Attack on Titan as I type this, which I know has been around for a while, but it took me forever to start since honestly the first episode traumatized me years ago, but it's better now.

For cosplay, I've done it a few times, but would like to do more. My most recent cosplay was Juuzou Suzuya from Tokyo Ghoul. I'd love to do a genderbent Kamina from Gurren Lagaan someday. I've also done Chihiro from Spirited Away and Izumi Curtis AKA "Teacher" from Fullmetal Alchemist/FMA: Brotherhood.

@goth: I just thought of one--a speech bubble that says "This is fine" in reference to that cartoon dog sitting in a room full of fire with a little smile on his face. xDD

@goth: You're welcome! And agreed with your last statement--I want to see and do so much outside of work, but time is an issue lol.

@Ark: You're welcome, and if you have any specific questions about cat ownership, I can try to help, or find resources to help you. Glad you have a shelter you can go to! There's a cat cafe not too far from here that I sometimes go to to play with the cats, and one day might adopt one from there. And thank you! Fur babies really are delightful when you have them. <3
