Hello again, everyone. Well, I had this insane plan that I would make 30 manips over the next month, but that's really not going to happen. I'll try to make one every few days, but I'm running pretty low on Photoshop inspiration lately.

I've started another story. If I finish this one it should end up at about a novella length. Since I'm not planning on showing the "real" plot, I'm just having fun with getting to know the character, who is utterly insane and self-loathing as I'm finding out. It's in the same world as and but it's more developed now. I'll probably start posting once I'm on the downward slope of what I want to cover.

I was tagged by Yay! First time being tagged!


1.What does your Deviantart name mean and why?
Oh goodness. Well, Twilight was one of my first screennames and probably what I'm known by best. I've had it for... almost 5 years now, right after the title for Twilight Princess was revealed. Aura I added just 'cause it sounded cool and vanilla Twilight wasn't available here for obvious reasons.

2. What fandom were you obsessed with when you joined and what are you into now?
*looks through gallery*
It looks like Naruto. That was the year I started watching anime, so there's a few Death Note things there too.
Now it's MS Paint Adventures, definitely. Just looks through my recent favs, and more than half of it is fanart of Homestuck. Then there's Bakuman, Doctor Who, and Supernatural a little bit, but I'm not really involved in fandoms for those.

3. How many watchers do you have now?
59!? That's what my status thing says. Gosh, I really need finish that watch journal feature.
I watch 86 people, which is probably too many.

4. Name 3 of your favorite artists on DA.



There are so many great artists here, it's crazy.

5. Do you comment, fav, or both?
I try to comment whenever I fav stuff, but I'm pretty horrible about remembering or even thinking of something interesting to say.

6. Do you participate in clubs' contests here on DA?
I have before, but only once or twice. I should try to do more stuff with the clubs I'm in.

7. What is your most popular submission?

This has an insane amount of favorites. I just wish some of my more recent stuff was liked as much as this old thing that I didn't even draw but whatever.

8. What are your favorite non-anime TV shows?
*looks over at stamps* LOST, House, Fringe, Doctor Who, Psych, 30 Rock, The Office, Arrested Developement, MST3K

9. What are the things you wish you could draw better?
Uh, everything. I know I could be decent if I practiced, but I always get so discouraged looking at what sad little things I do compared to other people who are sometimes way younger than me.

10. Summer or winter?
Winter, I guess. I always end up getting tired of each, but I'd rather be bundled up and snuggly than sweaty.

11. Rain or Sun?
I'd better say rain just because I'm moving to Portland.

12. What's your favorite type of music?
I really, really don't know. A few months ago I could have told you two types I definitely don't like, but I've found exceptions to those now too. I guess... um, alternative? British rock is pretty good, but I love most instrumental stuff.

13. PC or Mac?
Mac *hugs new MacBook Pro*

14. Anime or Manga?
Manga, I'd say. I can never seem to finish an anime series, even if I love it (or own it). Manga holds my attention more since it takes less time to get the story, and no filler!

15. Coke or Pepsi?
In all honesty, I've never had either. Soda grosses me out.

16. Read or TV?
If I had to pick... read. There are more good books out there than TV shows.

17. How many hours a day do you spend on DA?
Depends on if I'm searching for stock. If I'm making a manip I could spend like 3 or 4 hours on here, if not, then more like 1 or less.

18. Name a hidden talent.
Um, I can make a lion roar sound.

19. Flash or traditional cartoons?
Traditional! Flash is great and all, but traditional ones can be gorgeous.

20. What is your favorite fast food restaurant?
In-N-Out Burger! I have one whenever I go into the city, which isn't very often. Everything there is like a delicious heart attack.

21. What are your top 3 favorite books? (not manga)
Oh wow. This is hard. Um, House of Leaves, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and Red Dragon. Those are some of the recent ones that I've enjoyed that don't really have a series.

22. Wii or PlayStation?
I can't choose! Playstation at the moment because AC2 is awesome, but it'll change to Wii once the new Zelda comes out.

23. Name 3 of your favorite bands/singers.
Like the other music one, this is tough. Right now, Radiohead, Coldplay, The Decemberists, Sigur Ros, and the Homestuck music team. Ohnoes, that's more than three! Oh well.

24. Are you a fast, slow, or medium typist?
Medium...ish. Sometimes I can have a horrible string of typos which cuts things down to like 3 WPM, so it depends.

25. Do you like Denny's?
I'm not a big fan of giant breakfasts or getting shot at.

26. What is your favorite smiley?


27. What is your favorite type of pie?
Apple! It's amazing warm with ice cream. Yum!

28. Have you ever stayed up for 24 hours?
Once or twice, both during long trips. I can't sleep on planes. >.<

29. Do you go on YouTube a lot?
Not really, only if someone links me there or to see if Marble Hornets updated.

30. Are you a member on any other sites besides DA?
Yes, two right now, er... three. Four if you count Yahoo.

31. Do you cosplay?
No, well, I was Hermione for Halloween a few years ago, but I don't think that counts. If I ever go to a con, there are a few characters I think I could pull off though.

32. Fruits or sweets?
Hmm, fruits. They don't give me stomach aches.

33. Plain, buttered or salted popcorn?
Plain! My mom puts a ton of butter on popcorn whenever she makes it, and it comes out all greasy and nasty.

34. Have you skipped school?
Once, for senior ditch day. It was pretty boring, but I did get to see Iron Man 2.

35. Have you been on a plane?
Yep, more times than I can remember.

36. Have you swam in an ocean?
Yep again. Soooo salty.

37. Have you been ice skating?
Yes, once. I was completely horrible at it and clung to the wall the whole time!

38. Favorite vacation spot?
Um... I would say Portland (for Powells!) but I'll be moving there, so I guess Hawaii. Yay fishies!

39. Ever been on TV?
The local station a few times. I had to do an interview a few weeks ago with almost no warning. I guess it went pretty well though.

40. Favorite salad and dressing?
Caesar! Basically anything but bleu cheese.

41. What do you do to relax?
Listen to music, shower, daydream, hug my soft pillow, make manips, write, walk around

Prince of Persia I think. Pretty meh movie. Nice cinematography though.

Turkey, turkey with lots and lots of slices.

44. If you could go anywhere in the world...
Ireland! Or England! No, Australia! Any of those, I guess.

Late at night. It's so quiet and outside smells so clear. It's nice.

An archeologist

47. What do you want to be now?
I don't know... Maybe a laywer. Everyone in my family ends up as one of those it seems. I'd definitely like to write though.

48. If you could eat with one person, who would it be?
Hmm... Maybe one of my favorite authors. Jim Butcher seems like a fun guy to hang out with. Or one of the writers from LOST like Damon Lindelof. Hilarity and good writing advice!

49. What person would you hate to be stuck in a room with?
I could name names, but people who have no concept of personal space. Move away please.

50. When is your birthday?
December 12th! I just discovered that I'm 3 different zodiac signs too: Sagittarius, Scorpius, and Ophiuchus.

51. Favorite type of ice cream?
Cookies and cream!

52. Last book you read?
The Stand by Stephen King. I stopped reading it for a month and just started up again.

53. Which store would you max out a credit card at?
Powells, this gigantic bookstore. But probably nothing because I hate spending money and because I don't have a credit card.

54. Do you buy / sell / both on eBay?
I can't remember the last thing I bought, a game I think. I used to buy Bionicle masks.

55. What is the most annoying thing people ask you?
Them: "What college are you going to?" Me: "Reed." Them: *blank look* Me: "It's in Portland." Them: "Oh." EVERY time. I know it's polite, but I'm tired of explaining.

56. Favorite all time movie?
The Princess Bride. That's my default "favorite movie."

57. What was your favorite show when you were a kid?
Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon. I used to watch Seinfeld too, which probably isn't the best thing for a kid to watch.

58. What are you listening to right now?
Nothing, but... Okay, now it's "Hollow Man" by REM. I forgot about this song.

59. What is the last thing you ate?
A Rollo, a piece of soft caramel covered in chocolate.

60. If you were a crayon what color would you be?
Hmm... Lavender. When I was little I would always combine purple and blue, and it would make a really cool color.

Their sense of humor!

Anything pretty much. Music, stories, conversations, dreams, real life...

Ears, but I almost never have earrings in so they always close up.

Croutons because they are delicious and oh so crunchy

"Like" I say it way too much! Stupid Californian accent. I also say "sometimes" and "something" too much.

My local pizza parlor is pretty good

Octopus? Or pangolins, just because no one knows what they are.
