I cook some! (I got lazy and stopped--I should start up again.) I like cooking soups. My mom's favorite soup I make is miso soup with udon noodles, based off this recipe. Instead of dashi I use vegetable broth (I couldn't find any dashi), and then I throw mixed vegetables in it. Also shrimp.
Who's your favorite character to write?
Ryoga, I think. He's pretty open about a big chunk of his feelings, and also I don't have to put my neurotypical hat on and think real hard about directional words. (Although I still spend a while agonizing over some spatial concept before remembering whose POV I'm writing from.)
What's your favorite fandom, people-wise?
AtLA is the fandom where I know the most people, and they are ALL AWESOME.
Is there a fandom/fic/article of clothing/etc. you really kind of hate but can't leave alone?
I wish I had a good answer for this question. There are things I genuinely like but am kind of embarrassed about liking. In college I wanted my mom to take me to Pokémon 4Ever; half my DVDs aren't suitable for human consumption. And I think I love all characters with disabilities everywhere, no matter how badly their canon treats them.
Is Soul Eater really that good?
It's a combination of Harry Potter, The Nightmare Before Christmas and CTHULHU MYTHOS! There are friendly eldritch abominations who have tea with people/invite them to parties at their awesome mansion instead of eating them! Mad gods (see: Cthulhu Mythos) whose disabilities are taken seriously and who are AWESOME, even if one of them is the Big Bad. Disabled humans who are AWESOME, even if one of them tries to dissect people now and then (he's Snape on the side of goodness, though)! Badass piano-playing! Excalibur is actually a supernaturally obnoxious jerk who enrages everyone it meets, and King Arthur is a hero because he could tolerate the thing! (I LOVE EXCALIBUR, IT IS HILARIOUS) Body horror! Blair the awesome cat who turns into a person! (I will find a way for you to be a service cat, Blair-chan, even though you live with two of the few non-disabled people in the cast.) There's someone who doesn't have a gender (I don't think zie's supposed to be genderqueer, although I want all the fic where zie is), although translations and the fandom tend to give zir one. *eyeroll*
*Ahem.* I doubt it's Gold Rush 21 good, though, as there are problematic things in it. One of the disability jokes I was like, "Oh, Atsushi Ōkubo, couldn't you have done that differently?" And other things. BUT I LOVE IT.
In conclusion:
(Excaliburrrrrrr!)
And also:
(One of my favorite disability jokes in the series.)
How much are you looking forward to Korra?
THIIIIIIS MUUUUUUUUCH. (Korra is so badass. I can't wait to see her interact with Chief Bei Fong.)
Not sorry at all!
