Basics about me
Not sure why I have to actually contribute to a wikia page to be able to add them to my favorite? Can't I just be a silent fan? So here goes: http://buffy.wikia.com | http://leverage.wikia.com


 * Asian (Taiwanese to be specific).


 * Native in both Chinese Mandarin and English. If my understanding of Chinese is 99%, English being 90%, then 40% would be my Japanese skills as of now. (It was 2% 5 years ago.) I read manga in Chinese/Japanese. I only read manga in English when I couldn't find them in the other two languages. I read comics in English. I watch anime and J-drama in Japanese, with either Chinese/English subtitles. I absolutely HATE dubs.


 * Art student in San Francisco.


 * A CLAMP fan for 2 decades. (though I admit, I do think their quality isn't as good as their glorious days)


 * A Harry Potter fan for over a decade. (The books, only the books! FYI I dislike the character Harry Potter)


 * A Trinity Blood (トリニティ・ブラッド) fan for over half a decade. (Yeah, I do know if I had been a fan since the beginning I would've been a fan for more than 10 years instead of 5, but my middle school and high school years were pressured with tests equivalent of SAT and ACT, plus I already had plenty other interests. ANYWAY so what I was late lol doesn't change the fact I am a hardcore fan now. :3 )


 * A VOCALOID and UTAU fan for over half a decade. (not sure about CeVIO atm, but さとうささら does have a great voice) I feel embarrassed for some so-called fans who couldn't even tell the difference between VOCALOID and cover singers. I also hate it when people thought VOCALOID is exclusively a Japanese thing, or that the Japanese started it. Go do your homework.


 * A semi-fan of Nico Nico cover-singers (NND Utaite/ニコニコ歌い手) for over half a decade. (I admit the craze died down just a little bit)


 * An X-Men fan for a year+ (lmao) but a crazy one. I've read 90% aka most of the X-Men and related X-titles that were published after 1990 (even some before that), so that's reading 25 years of stuff in one year and liking them. Don't talk me down and use the excuse that I haven't started reading comics long enough, I might just know more about them than you think.


 * An Inkheart trilogy fan for a year+ (lol) but a considerably dedicated one. (perhaps because it is originally written in German and not English, so it was not as well known where I grew up; I only became aware of it after the movie adaptation. After actually picking up the series, I quickly fell in love with it and even bought a rare set of special edition SECONDHAND (first time to ever do this) because the covers are so much more fitting to its name. I do think this series is just underrated...)

Harry Potter (series)
My favorite books are Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

~ I love

 * 1) Hermione Granger (I'm still hoping JKR will finally end her marriage via Pottermore)
 * 2) Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour (later Fleur Weasley)
 * 3) Crookshanks

~ I like

 * 1) Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom (oh don't get me wrong, I don't ship them, I just like them on the same level)
 * 2) Fred Weasley and George Weasley
 * 3) Charlie Weasley
 * 4) Pretty much all the decent members of the D.A..

~ I wish were further explored in canon

 * 1) Theodore Nott
 * 2) Kingsley Shacklebolt
 * 3) Terry Boot

~ I dislike, borderline hating

 * 1) Harry Potter (book 5 onward)
 * 2) Molly Weasley (book 4 onward)
 * 3) Arthur Weasley (book 4 onward) (K, this one I feel the need of explaining. I dislike him for his ignorance; for someone claiming to "love" muggles, he never tried to actually "understand" them, he just "likes the idea" of them. If you truly are fascinated with another culture, you shouldn't just fantasied about them, you should try actually learning about them. The fact that he did't bother to think in their point of view, NOT KNOWING they don't floo, failed at recognizing currency, clearly shows that his enthusiasm were falsely placed, or simply put, ignorant.  I know he's a nice dude in general, that's why he isn't on the next list, but if I hate anything, I hate the people who broadcast their love for something and don't even know half of the stuff about what they supposedly love so much)
 * 4) Ginny Weasley (book 6 onward)
 * 5) Albus Dumbledore (This one's a bit tricky. Unlike the listed above who I have distinct points where I started to dislike them, I realized the loathing of Dumbledore only came after I've gotten the whole picture aka finished all the books. He truly was some piece of work, effing manipulative bastard. I only find his actions shady after knowing the whole truth, those acts were pretty flawless unless you knew the other side of the story)

~ I loathe

 * 1) Ron Weasley (book 3 onward) (I can write a 10+page paper and thoroughly analyze how I feel I would only like this character had he died in the last book. I'm not even kidding, I told my friends as such. His death would have effectively canceled out all the shitty moves he did; I was very sad to learn it actually had been JKR's plan to kill him off but was changed)
 * 2) Dolores Umbridge
 * 3) Cornelius Fudge

Clarifications
K, so seeing how I actually listed 2/3 of the trio, aka main characters, and some family members of a certain member of the trio as people I either dislike so much that I feel like I hate them, or I do in fact loathe them; you may wonder why I would list them instead of the people most fans would obviously hold no love.
 * 1) Marietta Edgecombe
 * 2) Percy Weasley
 * 3) Cho Chang
 * 4) Voldemort and his Death Eaters

Trinity Blood
This series is as of now the ONE AND ONLY rare case, in which I'm fond of all the existing versions: the original light novels, the manga adaptation, and the anime adaptation. Personally my favorite is the R.O.M. series. BTW, I'm actually still having hopes Hollywood would pick this up lol This series has so much more to offer than half of the other vampire stuff currently on the market!

Yes, I'm aware that unfortunately Sunao Yoshida (吉田直) died before he could finish, what apparently still has a long way to go, but the 6 finished books are solid enough if not touching upon the whole origin of Methuselah.

Inkheart trilogy
Love the books, wish there were more, but am happy with what there is. Before you start talking crap about the film, I'll just tell you, I actually like this adaptation way more than how the HP film franchise is handled comparing to its source material; of course it's not exactly the same as the book, but its treatment and alteration is more reasonable and understandable than the... what I called almost-overated franchise.
 * Side-note: Don't get me wrong, I DON'T HATE the HP film adaptations, but I'm certainly not overly fond of it like I probably would have been, had it actually been how EPIC it needed to be.

For Inkheart, I'm just disappointed that the film was so under-appriciated and therefore no sequels.

Arrowverse
My former page? http://arrow.wikia.com/wiki/User:76.21.58.33 I finally got convinced and created an account since apparently my IP address may switch once my modem is restarted, and THAT happens lately so fine, I cave in.

I'm more of a MARVEL girl (no pun intended, I effing have no love for Jean Grey or her daughter) so I got into this shared universe relatively late. I'm still not crazy about Arrow, but am slightly addicted to The Flash.

Characters I love Characters I like Characters I loathe
 * Hartley Rathaway
 * Caitlin Snow
 * Tatsu Yamashiro
 * Iris West (S1E05-15)
