(Heck, yes! Finally got caught up on screen-shotting MK for the first time in what feels like forever~ And just to say, for the Green Dream episode… Two shots I liked.)

(One)

(Because tiny Kaito is tiny. And even if it’s supposed to be from a distance…Pretty sure people are supposed to be at least above the halfway point in height. Though…)

(Not like it’s too consistent… Still.)

(And then Kaito’s shoulders still match one of the boards going across like they did in the far off shot. I just really think they shrunk Kaito for the heck of it.)

(And second…)

(A completely-taken-out-of-intented-look Kid shot. Just because I love doing things like this.)

whiteknighthakuba replied to your post:(*checks in while doing stuff* I gotta say, it’s…

LOL ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF CONAN?

(*checks in while doing stuff* I gotta say, it’s hilarious how interactions with other selves work for DC/MK. Most characters are like: The heck is going on??? Are you…? No, can’t be… …Proof? There has to be something up. And they’re kinda freaked out. Or the Hakubas, who dislike each other.

And then there’s the Kaitos, who may be confused, but a little poking and they’re like: …Okay then. *shrugs and grins while putting an arm around each others shoulders* So, what’re you up to? Also, we should totally use this opportunity to bug the heck out of the tanteis~

Casually wave and chat with each other. I swear if all of them did meet at once, they’d be the most chill people ever and immediately start planning things while everyone else is trying to figure out what the heck happened.)

8:Talk about the thing you are most proud of.

(In general, I might have to say I’m most proud of being a sort of jack-of-all trades when it comes to most things. I mean, following that is still ‘master of none’, but I’m fairly proud at being able to pick things up easily. It doesn’t apply to spouts of knowledge, though, more practical things, but I do learn easily. Watching, applied with common sense and a little practice, and I can usually do a passable job. I rarely have to attempt something more than once to know what to do, unless I’m completely lost. Applies to all sorts of things, really, specific skills like making ribbon roses or learning CPR, or broad things like writing and making amvs. Latter take more practice to do well, but I don’t know, just something I do feel proud of.)

32:Talk about a place you remember from your childhood.

(Oh childhood… My most randomly spaced and yet specific source of memories… I think for this I’d have to go with school, honestly. More specifically, the playground. And the reason for that is because my nicer friend’s house had a back fence that opened to the school, and it just took a few minutes walk to get across the field that separated them. Made us feel like rebels, no adults to yell at us for going to far away. …Maybe i should just say the neighborhood in general from my childhood, because jeeze… It really did feel a lot different than it does now. I explored all the time without adult supervision, and without fear of anything dangerous, really. Most we had to worry about was getting scraped or being found by people at the school while we were playing there, because we technically weren’t allowed to be there outside of school hours, even if just the playground.)

38:Talk about songs that remind you of certain people.

(Ahaha… I’m actually bad about songs for characters more than I am for actual people. I may have a few, if I think, but for the most part, songs go to the fandom mind. And half of them go to Kai for all sorts of reasons, biggest of which is probably because I could see certain scenes matching the lyrics and it fitting his overall personality/character. So for opposite reasons, might have to go Gab’s route of songs for muses.

Saying that, I don’t actually make playlists, per se. Kai’s songs range from Livin’ la Vida Loca to Angel With a Shotgun to I Will Not Bow. He be wild and everywhere, so a lot of things actually match him fairly well.

Spider’s got a smaller, slightly less random list, a few of my choices aside. Monster by Imagine Dragons fits mine well, though I wish there was enough material for him to use Oogie Boogie’s song for the canon one, because that image will never leave my head… I mean imagine: ‘Well, well, well… what have we here? ‘Kaitou Kid’, huh? Ooo, I’m really scared.’ If that wasn’t ‘canon’ Spider’s first thoughts of Kai, I’d be shocked.

~~I obsess too much over muses, gomen~~.)

39:Talk about things you wish you’d known earlier.

(I wish I’d known about… Hmm… Fandoms? It wasn’t until Detective Conan that I really got into fandoms to any extent, because I found fanfiction and a forum and Tumblr because of it. Before that, I had to work with pictures I found, amvs on Youtube, maybe the odd person out that actually like the same things I did to help support things I liked. I seriously wasn’t aware of fandoms until I binged watched all of DC in 2012, then went online, found a thread for funny Conan captions on a forum, lurked in that thread, then a bit more of the forum, found fanfiction through someone’s signature, read that person’s 42 chapter fic for DC/MK, read more, made on account on the forums, stayed there, joined their chat on IRC, learned how to edit pictures better, learned how to make amvs, eventually found Tumblr and lurked on personal blogs ’til I spotted a Hakuba rper because of one of them, lurked on their blog, then on some Kaito blogs, until my own Kaito that had been born from writing fanfiction bugged me enough to rp, though I started by making Spider’s account first, then Kai’s for the actual first experience…. And yeah, just would have been nice to start all of it earlier, since barely anyone, even the ones that knew anime, liked the same ones I did…)

1, 5, 11, 14, 19

1:Talk about the first time you watched your favorite movie.

(~~Okay, first plan of action: come up with a favourite movie~~. Much as I love Disney, I can’t really go with them for this… Dang, I feel weird. Not just now, I mean I didn’t even have a movie I liked to see over and over as a kid… ~~That’s what the Pokemon show was for~~. Umm… Ahaha, I might have to go with The Mask for this, actually. If I remembered Who Framed Roger Rabbit better, I might choose that, but just fun half-nonsensical movies… Problem with that is the first time I saw The Mask, I was probably six, and it was on TV at someones house while my parents and I were there. So I saw part of it and it caught my attention, and I complained so much when we were leaving that they found the channel it was on after we got home so I could finish it. But i don’t really remember how I felt or anything, other than that I liked it. I liked it better when I was older and sat though it all at once, and I ~~have the movie’s version of Cuban Pete for a possible amv idea at some point I mean what?~~)

5:Talk about the best birthday you’ve had.

(Eleventh. I should say, we’ve never don’t anything really special for birthdays, outside of sleepovers with friends, but that was still fresh from moving, so instead some of my extended family came over, mostly grandparents and my great-uncle. Family is always fun, we play board games and card games, and my uncle got me a leather jacket, because he rides Harleys and stuff, and it was just overall nice. ~~Starting to realise how boring of a person I truly am, jk, jk~~.)

11:Talk about the best dream you’ve ever had.

(Good dreams are just as nonsensical as nightmares, but one that comes to mind that was really fun: I was Metal Sonic, and apparently good, because I was fighting Eggman and specifically going up against a second Metal Sonic, which was more powerful. In the end, I had to play dead and ended up tricking it into getting close enough to catch it off guard enough to beat, and Sonic and the others were cheering for me, and then I told Eggman how he messed up. And I woke up thinking what an idiot I was, why tell the bad guy what he needed to fix, and hoping he doesn’t come back to get me at some point. :V (Just to say, my dreams fall into three categories: Wandering around, running away from something, or action. I can literally not think of one that doesn’t fall under one of these.))

14:Talk about a vacation.

(Only real vacations I’ve had outside of visiting family would be a couple of trips to Disneyworld, (High influence? Perhaps.) and one trip I had without family to Florida. It was during spring break and my friend at the time (after the first move, much better friend) invited me to go to Florida with another of her friends and her dad. Staying in a trailer near a small beach. It felt a lot like camping, but shopping around, spending time with friends, swimming in the ocean for the first and thus far only time, collecting shells… It was very, very fun, and actually… the first time I was ever introduced to any kind of roleplaying, now that I think about it. All of us liked Naruto, and they already had OCs for verbal roleplaying, and, well, that’s when I made my own. It was something we did when we were hiding out in the trailer, taking a break from the sun or for meals and such. Disneyworld was fun, but that trip was a lot more special.)

19:Talk about something that happened in middle school.

(Middle school, middle school… well, that’s actually when we moved a second time, jumping states from Tennessee to Texas, so… One thing that was nice there was, there was a sort of competition. Like a spelling bee, but it was guessing the definitions of words instead. And I was the only one in class who didn’t miss a single one and got to try for the larger one with people from other classes. I didn’t get far at all, but it was nice, because I randomly guess half the time and use intuition, so it felt good for that to work so well.

…Was also the year I gave teachers beanie babies of their favourite animal. And had my homeroom teacher call the Canadian girl ‘Frenchy’. Was all in jest, but that was a good year, for all that it also marked the beginning of not doing work out of laziness. Namely, essays. Good-but-lazy-as-heck writer didn’t make people happy. Still got a high grade in there, though. ~~I am that smart person people hated in school, seriously.~~)

12:Talk about the worst dream you’ve ever had.

(Hmm… I don’t dream too often, really, and even most nightmares are just something really silly… Ah. I think possibly possibly one of the most confusing ones that I actually woke up crying was… I don’t remember too many specifics, but what it ended with was some woman holding me at gunpoint, but then I shot her first (or hurt her in some way, fatally) and then she said she was my mom before dying. …Yeah… Woke up with actual tears, but it was still very nonsensical. For one, the person didn’t look like my mom at all, and was dressed like a southern belle? And the background for all of this was in some sort of 3-d area with something like NASCAR in the distance. Floating in midair.

..So while the idea is still not good, I really can’t take that dream to seriously outside the dream.)

22:Talk about your worst fear.

(For me, that might have to be getting lost. Anywhere, not just physically. Only exception being in thoughts. But I didn’t even want to drive for the longest time outside of to school and back because I really thought I’d get so horribly lost. And even now, I have to pull out my phone’s navigation if I go anywhere beyond places I’ve been to a million times. And I say not just physically, because it’s kinda where I am with thinking about future jobs. I went to college a couple of years for one major, then when I experienced it some, I found it didn’t actually interest me. And it was the type that you have to want to do it to get anywhere… So I have a retail job while I try to figure out what to do next, but I’m really not sure.)

25:Talk about an ex-best friend.

(Now this, I have stuff to say.

Okay, first off, she was the first friend I had my age. I was five, and up ‘til then, I was bugging the teenager nextdoor. Seemed alright at first, and as oblivious as I was as a kid, I didn’t notice anything until looking back, but she was a selfish and spoiled brat. I was literally the most innocent ‘go down the street and casually chat with the neighbor I’ve never met’ kid. (Which obviously wouldn’t happen today. Good times back then, though.) She never really apologised for anything she did, wouldn’t let me play with much aside from what she was doing at the time, got jealous over little things… I mean, two specific examples I can think of regarding how she acted would be: I got stuck in a tree one time because I’d gone up too high and was afraid to come down. She stood there a while, calling me a baby, before going off with another friend to get help. The other friend came back with my mom, she apparently had gone home. And the worser experience, because it even got through my obliviousness, involves Pokemon Crystal. We both had it, and she lost hers at some point. Sometime later, I find out mine went missing as well. Next time I see her, she apparently found hers, and yeah, I actually got suspicious, so I asked if I could see which Pokemon she had. And she told me she’d started a new save file. 😐 My mom was not happy with her and got my game back, and after that, we put my initials on all of my games. She didn’t really ever become an ex-best friend until I moved when I was ten, because I wasn’t mean, and as few friends as I had, I kept them. But what really got to me back then was when I invited her to the new house to see her one more time, and she never interacted with me directly, mostly chatting with our other friend, and acted like I was already completely gone already…

And as good a memory as I have, I can think of more, and I won’t ever really forget, so… Yeah.)

34:Talk about the worst physical pain you’ve endured.

(I’ve… never actually been hurt too badly that I’ve remembered… Plenty of scraped knees, but no broken bones even. I’ve kept a fairly safe life, for all the spills on bikes and tree climbing I did in the past. So… I don’t know. Worst I can think of in terms of injury was still just a bad scraping, though it could’ve ended a lot worse if I didn’t have a helmet. The bike I was riding belonged to my mom, because my wheels were flat, and I was going down a hill, about to brake to turn into someone’s house… Well, her brakes were a lot more sensitive than mine, and the bike completely flipped over. Cartwheeling style. Terrified me at the time, I was so disoriented, scrapped my legs, shoulder, and other arm, and broke the visor on my helmet completely off. In terms of pain, it’s fairly light from what it could have been, but I just don’t get hurt too often… I mean, I would have said the more recent ‘all wisdom teeth extracted’ experience, but it wasn’t too bad, really. Annoying, because I couldn’t eat properly for a while, but I don’t know. Fear heightens how bad things feel looking back, even if it actually helps it not feel as bad at the time.)

(You know you’ve played a game too much when you pick it up after a good five months and manage to get an 894 combo when your high score is 965… Jeeze. I can’t tell if it’s actual skill of just muscle memory, much as I repeated it over and over… Think I love the samba marathon in Rhythm Thief a biiit too much…)

(…You’re seriously going to make me type that, aren’t you?)

“Yep~”

(…And here I thought you’d be embarrassing in a different way…)

16. One thing that draws you to a character to make you want to roleplay WITH them (as your partner’s character)?

(Character-wise, I’m not really all that picky about who I’ll RP with. Now, some things may wear on my nerves writing-wise, depending, but it hasn’t really been an issue. Obviously, I’m more drawn to characters I know myself, but beyond that… Not really? Exciting, thought-provoking, or along the more mundane… The characters themselves really don’t have exact parts I can pick out that would make me want to RP with them over someone else. Though Kai’s interest kinda determines how often anything will progress.)

2. A question you’re surprised no one has asked.

(…

…

Oh, jeeze. I have to think of the question that other people should have asked? Ummm… Most things related to Spider on his blog, really. I know I talk with the Hakuba RPers quite a bit about him, but I don’t mind answering things about the guy OOCly, since it’s difficult to go into his whole backstory I have for him, why he is how he is, experience with Toichi, without prompts to do so. Is why I reblog headcanon things there, though that’s also to build more for him there as well. Just kinda want more people to know him outside of how he acts with Sugaru and simultaneously chatting with and scaring the Kaito(u)s.

For Kai though… Really, just anything about how he acts, I guess. For canon or my Kaito. Also partially extends to the phobia thing. Never been asked, never had to decide on anything. I tend to post things myself on how he thinks, so I’m not too surprised there, but I’d love some questions to ask about canon more. I even reblogged a meme for that, but I didn’t get too much with that… Really, one of the funnest things for me is to have my own version of the character that still has reason for all of his actions in canon or non-canon movies and OVAs and such. *glances at that movie 10 Hakuba disguise posting* I don’t know, I just really like those and tend to be surprised when no one even takes the opportunity to ask more about it. Some do, but not to any great extent. Though I also dare you people to ask how stable my Kaito is, hehehe…. *hides*)

10. One bad part of writing in general?

(Not just writing, but most forms of art in general would be wondering how other people see it. Most readers are fine with how things are written, whether with flowy paragraphs with good description and structure, or just ‘point a to point b’ type of writing, but wanting to know what people really think about what’s being shown, praise or criticism, is something I’ve noticed a lot. It tends to drive stress because, while writing and such is fun, rarely does anyone not care what others think about how they’re doing. For me, I’m laid back enough to not worry too often, but as I’ve written fanfiction before, and done other forms of art like drawing and editing pictures and making amvs, I know I’ve constantly checked to see how many views something got, what people review and comment, and it’s just a worry I wish didn’t exist, but am accepting of the fact it does. It happens to everyone, and I’m sad when it gets the better of people to take the fun away from what they liked doing when people’s opinions drive a decision. Forms of art are very dangerous to the mind in this kind of way, if people genuinely like doing it.)

1, 15, 17~

1. A headcanon you’re not sure of yet.

(Hmm… That’s a bit hard, since most of my headcanons are made up at random, and I generally approve of them immediately… Hmm… Honestly, my biggest headcanon I have involves Toichi’s last show, which of course is never set in stone for any Kaito, really. Never going to accept what the new anime showed for it, since aside from Spider interactions and discussions, I do tend to fall back on manga interpretations. I mean, I’d like to do my ramble on that eventually, ~~maybe tonight since I’m already thinking about it~~, but I guess in general… Oh. Pffft. How he got his fear of fish. It would be a quick and random thing to come up with, since phobias actually don’t need much to be built, but nothing’s ever stuck out to me out of my ideas that I approved of.)

15. One thing that draws you to a character to want to roleplay them?

(Ah… I’ve actually thought about this one before, because of ‘who I liked vs who I’d want to RP’ in the Professor Layton games. Aside from ‘they have to catch my interest’, really, it’d have to be… well, psychological side of me says mentality. But it’s only part of it. Like, I play Kai, but wouldn’t play Shinichi/Conan, even if they could have similar ways of thinking due to circumstances. And I have nothing against Shinichi. For PL, I like Randall, Descole, and Clive, but would only play Descole, even if Randall is actually very similar to Kai in many ways. Well, I did play the Masked Gentleman of sorts on Halloween, but that’s the thing… Even back before when I was only considering RP, I knew MG was one I could play, but Randall wasn’t. I don’t know… A lot of things go into who I’d Rp I guess, including unanswered questions about the character, interest in how they think, having a lot of ‘what ifs’ for the character, and… well, probably that they’re in the grey area of morality, to an extent. Characters up for interpretation that no one knows everything about, even if they know the character themselves. And in most ways, Kai and Spider are opposites. One’s a popular character everyone knows, one’s a non-canon but still official MK character that’s just a huge mystery. But for all his fans, not everyone actually looks into Kaito beyond the fun, so that’s why I like him especially.

…To sum up, I believe I like to play characters that make me think and wonder things about them.)

17. A character trait you think is overused?

(There… well, there are quite a lot of those… And as many good writers and characters I’ve seen, those don’t always intersect… I mean, if I look at a list, one that comes to mind that I don’t consider is stubbornness. But that’s more of a general person thing, not a character trait to really pick on… A lot of people will have a stubborn streak at times… Maybe just angstiness? Not that I don’t enjoy it, but reading manga and such, and though I’ve fallen out of reading actual books right now, I’ve read far more than enough to notice that almost all important characters have to go through some sort of angsty phase, or just be like that in general. It’s mostly due to the fact writers like to have things happen either in the past or present that can make a character more interesting. Better written characters get past it fairly well, but people tend to like ones that don’t, and looking at broody characters can only be interesting so many times before it gets old. All interesting characters have bad moments, but the best ones manage through it, in all honesty. Ones that don’t, *looks at Sasuke from Naruto and so many other action shonen anime, and quite a few from shoujo and other types as well*, …eh, they tend to get on my nerves a bit. Would try to think of more TV and books type things, but manga what I gravitate towards first, so… *shrugs* Angst is fine, but jeeze, moderate if you want to hold more people’s attention.)
