The Fox's Den - Late Nights With Syao

-Pan zoom in, with lips parted slightly and eye brows furled, the perfect face for "not sure what to think".

-I just finished the "Dark Lady's Chosen", the 4th in a serious of fantasy novels. I really enjoyed it, the medieval setting is fantastically done. The romantic subplot is on point.

 

-I love to read fantasy novels mostly, novels about exploring and recovering what has been lost, and novels with great romantic sub plots. That said, I also enjoy a good sci fi with intense world building.

-I aspire to be a mechanical engineer. It's always been my passion to build and design, and it fits well with my core skills. I also want to work as a writer on the side.

-My favorite meme has to be "One does not simply..." with Boromir's picture in it, because I imagine reading them in his voice.

 

-Ooh... I would definitely have to think about that! I think fire and ice are a romantic combination, personally. The chilling cold and the burning heat. I don't know about combining them together, but I think I'd totally ship Alola Ninetails with traditional Ninetails.

 

-Either Alolan Persian or Diglett. For Persian, I struggled with its bloated features. And Diglett... I mean, come on. They couldn't change anything else? Also I don't like the typing.

 

-Interesting... So I looked through a bunch of the shiny legendaries (I mean, a freaking ton of them), and the only ones I have serious design issues with are:

Zapdos: Color palette is almost exactly the same. Doesn't make any sense, it's nearly indifferent from it's original version. I'd have liked a silver Zapdos.

Ho-oh: The Pokémon of spring and rainbows, I didn't really get a rainbowy Ho-oh for normal colors. So shiny? They make him dead and grey in color, all his feathers greyed out. I would have preferred a Ho-Oh with Rainbow feathers and something more majestic about him than this aura of death. Doesn't make any sense, unless they were explicitly going for the anti-Ho-Oh look.

 

-My favorite fossil Pokémon is probably Bastiodon, purely by design. After that, Cradily, since it was my first fossil.

-3! A pair of black dress shoes, worn down running shoes, and casual brown suede shoes.

-Never have, never will; bird pets aren't really my thing, personally.

 

Coast is clear! I have a bit of time today.

-Whenever I go for a run, I use sunglasses. But my regular glasses are transition, so I guess they're technically on whenever I go outside.

-I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but I get my cravings, especially for mochi. Don't get me started on mochi.

-Pacta Sunt Servanda is a Latin brocard, meaning it is a policy of law that is expressed in Latin due to its common practice. Literally, it means "Pacts (or promises) must be kept". It's a motto I live by, and it's a lyric in one of my favorite songs (which is ironically about betrayal).

-My favorite shiny 'mon Is probably Celebi, but only because of PMD : EoS. Don't worry. You'll see.

-Well, they've done gens 1-3. In the main series, gen 4 would be next. But... I think I would cry if I saw Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky remade. I might actually sob. Who needs it the most though? Hard to say, but I'm thinking Pokémon Battle Revolution, because it aspired to do a lot of cool things, but didn't see a whole lot of daylight because it got outdated.

-You've heard me once or twice. I'm decent. I pride myself on my ability to bring emotion out of a piece, but some complex material is just out of my reach. I do mostly classical or romantic pieces; I'm not much of a jazz player. So I'm alright as far as pianists go.

 

-Given the time at which I'm writing this response, I'd say that I definitely stay up really late.

 

-Always. I really kill myself by stating up so late. I should go to sleep earlier but its so hard when there's so much I want to stay up for.
