~*Tag time! *~

Thanks @bratniadusza for tagging me! (And reminding me that I have tumblr in general xD)

Rules: Answer 20 questions and tag 20 bloggers you want to know better :D

Name: Real life - Ania, but I try my best to remember to introduce myself as 'Andy', because there's a lot of people with the same name as me around (two others in my class alone..) xD I go as Willczek or Hellzelian online ;P

Height: Around 172cm? Likely a bit shorter, but shh~

Nationality: Polish :P

Orientation: Ace! (Romantic one is still in question)

Favorite fruit: I feel almost obligated to say 'kiwi', because that's how I answered my friend few years ago when we're finishing middle school and she sew me a lil kiwi as a gift, which still proudly rests on my Special Shelf for Awesome Stuff~ xD (and honestly I don't have favourotes, just gimme the fruit salad with all of them :v)

Favorite flower: My knowledge in this field (heh) is so limited, that even if I had one in mind I probably wouldn't know how it's called in polish, so... Any really?

Favorite season: There's a tendency to answer this with the season you're born in, but I also learned to appreciate other seasons for different things so... Mild summer (Nope for the heat), sunny autumns, snowy winters and lively springs

Favorite scent: This made me realize how rarely I pay attention to smells... Green tea + lemon, orange + imbir, apple + cinnamon... My dog's ears because they smell like a puppy? XD

Favorite animal: Dogs. Amazing variety withoptimism, gotta love them good boys >u< And I love birds! Or are fascinated by them, same thing really.

Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? Gotta go with tea as everyday drink, hot chocolate is a close second tho ;P Never really tried coffee, but my parents do and I don't like the smell alone, so... yup xD

Average hours of sleep - The right amount. It's summer now, vacations and all so everything is a bit more chaotic, but I have little to no problems with sleep, so I'm fine xD

Cat or dog person: Dogs, all the way!

Number of blankets you slip with: 3-2 on the bed, 2-1 actually being used. (the third one is a wall between me and the monsers behind my back :V xD)

Dream trip: Three images come to mind:

- Road trip around America with a gang of friends, movie style

- Traveling around UK and Ireland, I absolutely love the feel these places have on just photos and I would love to experience them for myself

- Offfroad ride anywhere wild with my dad and sister (think: Madagascar section in Uncharted 4), I do enjoy the little trips in forests around us but I would kill for a ride through the unknown, the feeling of freedom...

Blog created: July 2014 ;P

Number of followers: 498! (Which is also the first time when I hit a milestone and it went back~ And I’m surprisingly more than okey with that xD)

Random facts:

- I'm an extrovert who would never start a conversation, who can’t open the doors and go inside a room full of people, who refuses to fetch things for teachers, because it requires doing what I just mentioned I can’t~ No idea why, I’m not afraid, there’s just some kind of wall there xD But if anyone starts or opens the door for me? Oh boy, I’m confident and talkative and genuinely happy to interact with anyone, so... yeah! XD

- My second name is Barbara, which I always hated... Until I got into batfamily and now I proudly share it with Barbara Gordon, first Batgirl :V

- My first caption in English was under my first drawing of JackSepticEye :D

- My birthday? 25th December. So this year for Christmas I'll become an adult, which is not what I wished for ;-;

- Can't play on any instruments or sing, but I do rock on Guitar Hero, just try me! (Warriors of Rock is my favorite!)

- Thanks to nbc’s Constantine and Supernatural, I know (and use when bored) Enochian alphabet :v (so... you know, it’s just English or Polish, but the letters look cooler and no one else can read it :V)

Sorry for weird text formatting, I’m not used to this tablet, it’s hard to do anything with autocorrect fighting me on every step of the way xD I also forgot two questions, changed one fact because it was something I didn’t realize I shared already and added a new one, yay!

Bratnia Dusza already tagged everyone I know who’s comfortable with it, so I have no choice but leave it like this. If anyone feels like talking, feel free to tag yourself in my name, I love reading those ;P

#tag #tags thingie #text post #facts #about me #personal?#i can’t remember how I usually tag these tags xD #and I’m afraid to check in case I lose this whole wall of text...#so let’s just leave it like this xD #goodnight/have a nice day!

1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23, 25, 29, 30, 31, 38, 40, 41 and sorry it got so long I just want to know about you ❤

AHHH! YOU ARE SO KIND! I hope you have a snack and/or a beverage, because this got WAY out of control!!

Answered from here.

1) How old were you when you first starting writing fanfiction?I think I was 13 or 14 when I started actually writing it; I’d started reading it a few years before that. (I thank The X-Files and LOTR fandoms for it!)4) What is your favourite genre to write for?There’s something about writing angst that comes easily for me; it always has. The darker the subject matter, the easier and more fun it is to write. (That sounds really strange..)6) If you had to delete one of your stories and never speak of it again, which would it be and why?Hmm.. Honestly? It would probably be Mixing Business With Pleasure. While I wrote it for a friend because she dared me to write some smut, I blush whenever I think of it because I’m not good at writing that kind of material. It’s better left in the hands of other more capable writers. That being said? It was fun to write it at the time. ;)7) When is your preferred time to write?I’m at my most productive late at night and, oddly enough, when I’m at work during the day and can’t actually focus on writing. I’ve always been a night-owl and my brain is more awake/alert in the evenings. Perhaps because it’s quiet that time of day, I suppose.

8) Where do you take your inspiration from?This one was tough to answer- I haven’t really thought about it that much until recently!Inspiration has struck me in the most random of situations. While I was riding the bus to work one rainy morning, I was inspired to write about Roy Harper, a motorcycle accident and an addiction to pain killers just because of the way the reflection of the stoplights on wet asphalt glittered. The Jason Todd fic I’m currently writing is the result of waking up at 2am about a year ago and wondering what would happen if he got sick. I spent an hour talking to my phone in the dark and recording everything that came to mind.

Real people and other stuff I’ve read have been inspiring, too. A childhood friend who died of leukemia when she was 10 inspired my OC Nora. A fic about the aftermath of Sam Winchester shooting Dean in the chest with a shotgun full of rock salt rocked my world (no pun intended) about the consequences of unresolved issues. Oh did it ever..I used to carry a notebook with me because the smallest of things can inspire wonderful things: stoplights on wet asphalt, the sound of leaves rustling down the street in October, or the feeling you get when you read a fic that moves you so much that you can’t help but want to affect people the same way. Long story short? Inspiration is almost anywhere you look when you’re ready to find it!11) Have you ever amended a story due to criticisms you’ve received after posting it?No, I haven’t, and I never plan to. The beauty of fanfiction is that the writer is in control of their story, the characters and the universe. I’m a firm believer in leaving positive feedback for writers and unless they ask for constructive criticism, I keep any of those ideas to myself.12) Who is your favourite character to write for? Why?Oh my god.. do I have to pick a favorite?! I’m going to do a list because otherwise this post will be hundreds of words longer than it already is..1. Jason Todd2. Roy Harper3. Tim Drake4. Dean Winchester5. YJ! Dick Grayson13) Who is your least favourite character to write for? Why?Barbara Gordon but ONLY because I’m not as familiar with writing her and I don’t want to mess it up.21) Tell me about another writer(s) who you admire? What is it about them that you admire?(I linked to their AO3 accounts so you can find their work.)

@lemonadegarden - Stargazer is the kind of piece I only WISH I could write. Equal parts sad, hopeful, beautiful and painful, it’s one that always made me happy when the update notification came through!@audreycritter - She created an OC so wonderful I honestly believe he’s part of DC canon and no one will convince me otherwise. I’ve been lost in her work for literal HOURS at a time. That and she did a crossover between Batman and The X-Files. Genius, I tell you!@zombiesbecrazy - How To Do Right and Learning to Fear made me tear up and I’ve rarely seen such amazing characterization. Just.. WOW.@eliestarr - Her Stephanie Brown/Damian Wayne work is some of my favorite because she’s got such a great handle on their characters. I’ve read her stuff repeatedly and will continue to do so!@unavenged-robin - I recently spent about three and a half hours reading her work because I couldn’t stop and I’m not ashamed to admit it!

22) Do you have a story that you look back on and cringe when you reread it?To my own complete and utter surprise, no, I don’t! I’ve gone back and edited a lot of my work since it was originally posted, so things that I didn’t care for or catch when I posted it the first time around are no longer an issue.However, I have college coursework that makes me shudder when I think about it because it was awful. I had to write a screenplay and I physically burned all three hard copies PLUS the floppy disk it was on (I’m old) because I was that ashamed of it. :)23) Do you prefer listening to music when you’re writing or do you need silence?If I’m stuck on something, I need it quiet to sort things out. It’s the same for when I’m editing. I read my stuff aloud and correct as I go. But if I’m writing and things are going smoothly, I’ll have mellow instrumental music on in the background. I have a couple of Spotify playlists I use depending on what I’m writing.25) Have you ever cried whilst writing a story?I’ve cried while reading fics, but never writing my own. I’ve come close because I’ve been really proud of some of them, though.29) Do you have a story that you feel doesn’t get as much love as you’d like?I wrote a few things in the Supernatural fandom that I’m pretty proud of, but I don’t really write for that anymore. I have lots of ideas but I’m hesitant to put any of them out there.30) In contrast to 29 is there a story which gets lots of love which you kinda eye roll at?Not at all! I’m happy when anything I’ve written is read/reviewed/bookmarked/kudo’d etc.31) Send me a fic recommendation and I’ll post it for my followers to see! (The asker is to send the rec not the answerer)There wasn’t a rec for me to share, but I’m happy to post some of anyone wants to send some in!!38) If you could collab with any other writer on here, who would it be? (Perhaps this question will inspire some collabs!) If you’re shy, don’t tag the blog, just name it.I’ve only ever collaborated with one other writer and that was years ago for some Young Justice challenges over on FF.net. I have ideas about who would be awesome to write with, but I’m keeping them to myself because I’m terrified of looking like a dork!40) Do people know you write fanfiction?Only a few people IRL know I write fanfiction and I prefer to keep it that way. It’s not something I’m comfortable sharing because I don’t feel they understand why I do it. That being said, I absolutely LOVE connecting with readers and other writers because I’ve made some wonderful friends that way. I’ve also grown so much as a writer by reading fanfiction and writing it.41) What’s you favourite minor character you’ve written?I’d have to say Titus, the Batfamily dog. :)

I was tagged by the wonderful @sentinel-defiant to answer these questions! You’re supposed to tag 20 people but I’m way too shy for that! I do, however, love sharing about myself on the internet, so I’ll gladly answer the questions!

NAME: Mara

NICKNAME: My parents call me Peanut, my friends in high school called me Maradon after something from World of Warcraft. I have never played WoW, but it just stuck?

ZODIAC SIGN: Pisces

HEIGHT: 5′7″

ETHNICITY: White

ORIENTATION: Bisexual

FAVOURITE FRUIT: Mango, raspberry, pineapple

FAVOURITE SEASON: I love spring right when all the flowers first begin to bloom and the leaves on the trees look extra-green. I also really love fall, specifically October because it’s not usually too cold and rainy yet, but it’s not hot like summer is, and pumpkin patches are fun.

FAVOURITE BOOK: Neuromancer - William Gibson

FAVOURITE FLOWERS: Sunflowers

FAVOURITE SCENT: I love the smell on a cool day when you’re walking outside and the air is sort of damp and you catch a whiff of someone’s laundry drying and the air has that petrichor/detergent smell.

FAVOURITE COLOUR: Maroon

FAVOURITE ANIMAL: Peregrine falcon. I read My Side of the Mountain growing up and reeeeeally wanted a Peregrine falcon as a pet. They can dive incredibly fast, and their nostrils have evolved to be built kind of like airplane engines (they have a protrusion right in the center of each nostril) to allow them to control the flow of air while they dive so they can still breathe.

FAVOURITE BEVERAGE: Coffee, genmaicha tea, pinot noir, and I’ve been really enjoying sour ales lately. When I go out to dance, I favor vodka tonics, because 1) I can generally taste how strong they’re poured so I don’t accidentally get hammered, and 2) the quinine in the tonic glows under blacklight, which is entertaining when the bar you’re in has a blacklight.

AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: Anywhere from 5-8 depending on my work schedule/my mental health.

FAVOURITE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS: Molly Millions, Spider Jerusalem, Barbara Gordon, Ash Williams, Ellen Ripley, Data, Éowyn, Captain America, Bucky Barnes... I could go on.

NUMBER OF BLANKETS YOU SLEEP WITH: One blanket, one comforter.

BLOG CREATED: 2011

NUMBER OF FOLLOWERS: 131 and I love them all, even the pornbots who’ve snuck in

off the rack #1149

Monday, January 30, 2017

It's the Chinese Year of the Rooster folks and there's a cock in the White House. We are living in interesting times indeed. I am trying my best not to get riled up by the d-bag but it's difficult. The empathy I feel for others means I cannot ignore the affect the changes have on everybody. I just hope we all get through these difficult times relatively unscathed.

I'm going to have a fun Sunday on February 5. I'll be at the Walkley Arena for the Capital Trade Show where my partner Chris and I will be flogging old comic books. Then it's Super Bowl 51 with two gun slinging quarterbacks. I am cheering for a high scoring affair.

Civil War II: The Oath #1 - Nick Spencer (writer) Rod Reis, Raffaele Ienco, Szymon Kudranski & Dono Sanchez-Almara (art) VC's Chris Eliopoulos (letters). Didn't see that coming. While it makes sense to appoint Captain America as the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. (again) the surprise is that I don't think it's Steve Rogers under the mask. I don't particularly like the new political landscape that the Marvel U is headed towards but it does make for some easy enemies for the good guys to fight with. Nick put in a lot of rah, rah patriotism in this book so it was a tough slog trying to get through it but the payoff at the end is worth it.

Kamandi Challenge #1 - Part One: Dan Didio (writer) Keith Giffen (pencils) Scott Koblish (inks) Hi-Fi (colours) Clem Robins (letters) Part Two: Dan Abnett (writer) Dale Eaglesham (art) Hi-Fi (colours) Clem Robins (letters). He's the last boy on Earth and he's going on a wild adventure to find his parents. One of Jack Kirby's creations is getting a round robin of comic book creators to excite fans like never before. Each part of the story will be done by a different team that will end with a cliffhanger that the next team must find a way to resolve. I have a nagging feeling that this stunt has been done before but I can't remember when so I'm going to tag along to see who does what. I'm not a fan of Kamandi but I want to see who all are going to be involved on the creative side.

Loose Ends #1 - Jason Latour (writer) Chris Brunner (art) Rico Renzi (colours). The cover says that this 4-issue mini is a southern crime romance. They got that right. We're looking at a trailer dwelling war vet whose friend gets him mixed up in running drugs. You can expect that the vet and the friend get into a heap of trouble and they do. I like how Sonny and Rej each wind up where they do at the end of this first issue so you bet I'm going to keep reading. Not much romance so far but I'm sure Jason will get to that.

Star Wars #27 - Jason Aaron (writer) Salvador Larroca (art) Edgar Delgado (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). Yay Yoda. Root for him I will.

Batgirl #7 - Hope Larson (writer) Chris Wildgoose (art) Mat Lopes (colours) Deron Bennett (letters). Part 1 of "Son of Penguin" introduces Ethan Cobblepot and I don't care if there is no reference to him anywhere else in the DCU because he's going to be a great adversary for Barbara Gordon. I like how Chris draws her older than Rafael Albuquerque did. This is going to be fun.

Briggs Land #6 - Brian Wood (writer) Mack Chater (art) Lee Loughridge & Jeremy Colwell (colours) Nate Piekos (letters). I really like Grace Briggs. The risks that she is taking will hopefully keep her people safe. Brian has crafted a story fit for cable TV.

Totally Awesome Hulk #15 - Greg Pak (writer) Mahmud Asrar (art) Nolan Woodward (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). Greg continues to feature heroes of the Asian persuasion in this story about Amadeus hanging out with Jake Oh, Kamala Khan, Cindy Moon, Shang-Chi, and Jimmy Woo. It does play on some stereotypes but I think it's okay because they're true for these guys.

Odyssey of the Amazons #1 - Kevin Grevioux (writer) Ryan Benjamin (pencils) Richard Friend (inks) Tony Washington & Tony Avina (colours) Saida Temofonte (letters). This 6-issue mini has a lot of women but not a wonder one in sight. Kevin features Diana's sister Amazons in a tale worthy of Homer. If you like classic sword and sorcery, you'll like this.

Dead Inside #2 - John Arcudi (writer) Tony Fejzula (art) Andre May (colours) Joe Sabino (letters). The plot thickens like congealed blood and murder suspects start to emerge. Linda has plenty to deal with inside the prison but she's surprised when she gets home after work by a sight I did not expect to see. This mystery is crazy good.

Inhumans vs. X-Men #3 - Charles Soule & Jeff Lemire (writer) Javier Garron (art) Andres Mossa & Jay David Ramos (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). There are three more issue to this mini but it seems to me that Charles and Jeff have already come up with a solution to the Terrigen cloud that would end the war. The mutant Forge has built a machine that can collect the Terrigen gas and compress it into a solid in this issue. Wouldn't that solve the problem of the gas killing the mutants? Works for me.

Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #6 - Joshua Williamson (writer) Howard Porter (art) Alex Sinclair (colours) Rob Leigh (letters). All is well that ends well. Both teams join forces to defeat Eclipso and Max Lord is at the mercy of Amanda Waller. Batman sees the light and gathers another team together to fight evil forces. Get ready for a new Justice League of America #1 hitting the racks on February 22. DC is sure spreading Bats pretty thin these days.

Skybourne #3 - Frank Cho (writer & artist) Marcio Menyz (colours) Ed Dukeshire (letters). The identity of the bad guy was a nice surprise. I like Frank's comic books because they're simple stories about good versus evil that are beautifully drawn.

Hulk #2 - Mariko Tamaki (writer) Nico Leon & Dalibor Talajic (art) Matt Milla (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). Waiting for Jennifer to Hulk out is one of the things I like about the new book. She has a lot more self control than I have. The scary thing about the eventuality of her losing control is that this new Hulk will be an uncontrollable creature of rage but we'll have to wait and see what happens. Until then I'm enjoying Jen's life so far.

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #13 - Robert Venditti (writer) V Ken Marion (pencils) Paul Neary & Dexter Vines (inks) Alex Sollazzo (colours) Dave Sharpe (letters). Now that the planet Xudar has been saved, what now? It's time for a bedtime story that's what. This is a nice interlude issue before we launch into the next story. I've been enjoying this team book now that my loyalty to the Avengers has waned. We'll see if Robert can keep me hooked with his next adventure.

Saga #42 - Brian K. Vaughn (writer) Fiona Staples (art) Fonografiks (letters). And fade to black. No, really. It's hiatus time again but this issue didn't leaving me screaming profanities about the long wait until the next issue hits the racks. There is a new character introduced who I will be very interested to find out more about.

Doctor Strange #16 - Jason Aaron (writer) Chris Bachalo with Cory Smith (art) Al Vey, John Livesay, Victor Olazaba, & Tim Townsend (inks) Antonio Fabela & Java Tartaglia with Chris Bachalo (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). Dormammu is finally going to get his chance to kill Doctor Strange after he has been weakened by his fight with the Empirikul. Jason does find a neat way to save Stephen however. The next bit of nastiness involves someone close to the Doc. Oboy.

Wonder Woman #15 - Greg Rucka (writer) Liam Sharp (art) Laura Martin (colours) Jodi Wynne (letters). Part 1 of "The Truth" finds Diana in a mental hospital. How she got there has yet to be explained but I'm sure I can handle it.

Punisher #8 - Becky Cloonan (writer) Laura Braga with Iolanda Zanfardino (art) Frank Martin (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). That little old lady toting the double barrelled shotgun from last issue is named Ethel. She looks scary but she's not what you think. The change in art took some getting used to but it isn't bad enough to make me bench this book. I do have a couple of complaints though. If you're going to call a motorcycle a Harley, don't show what looks like a BMW logo on the gas tank. Also, draw the bad guy from the chest up when Frank says that he opened up his guts, not a full body shot that clearly shows an abdomen without any wounds at all. I don't know if the art had to be rushed after Steve Dillon passed away unexpectedly but that's just shoddy editing.

Action Comics #972 - Dan Jurgens (writer) Stephen Segovia (pencils) Art Thibert (inks) Ulises Arreola (colours) Rob Leigh (letters). Trust Dan to come up with a non-violent way to stop Lex from being executed by the bad guys. It also served to show what possible futures are in store for this new Superman. DC has managed to revive my interest in this iconic character.

Daredevil #16 - Charles Soule (writer) Goran Sudzuka (art) Matt Milla (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). We find out why Daredevil put out a hit on himself to lure out Bullseye. There's some soul searching this issue which leads into the next storyline. I liked how Charles sets it up.

Detective Comics #949 - James Tynion IV & Marguerite Bennett (writers) Ben Oliver & Szymon Kudranski (art) Ben Oliver, Gabe Eltaeb & Hi-Fi (colours) Marilyn Patrizio (letters). The finale of "Batwoman Begins" is a very good prelude to Batwoman's solo book which hits the racks on February 15. It looks like James and Marguerite are going to have a Raymond Reddington and Agent Keen thing going on between Kate and her dad. That's got me interested.

Infamous Iron Man #4 - Brian Michael Bendis (writer) Alex Maleev (art) Matt Hollingsworth (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). Brian must have a thing for mother and son stories. He did it in International Iron Man where he introduced Tony's biological mother. Now he's showing us Victor's mom. I really do believe that Doom has reformed and I hope he stays a good guy.

Spider-Man/Deadpool: Monsters Unleashed - Joshua Corin (writer) Tigh Walker (art) Rachelle Rosenberg (colours) VC's Joe Sabino (letters). The boys save Toronto eh.

Thanos #3 - Jeff Lemire (writer) Mike Deodato (art) Frank Martin (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). It's the Imperial Guard of the Shi'ar versus Thanos. A perfect opportunity to give a history lesson on the life of the Mad Titan.

Spider-Woman #15 - Dennis Hopeless (writer) Veronica Fish (art) Rachelle Rosenberg (colours) VC's Travis Lanham (letters). Jessica subdues the new Porcupine and finds out who put the hit out on her friend Roger. Now she's gunning for the Hobgoblin but he's protected by an army of super villains. I hope little Gerry doesn't become an orphan.
