Hello everyone! I'm back from New York!
What can I say about that? Lots of things to see, really nice place, crowded as heck, overwhelming with advertisements... Oh wait, those last two were the bad .
Being honest, it's a cool city but a city nonetheless, you get used to it over time. The real treat was spending some time with my aunt and what was outside the city: Trees, trees everywhere, everything was green.
I may sound like one of those eco-nuts (I'm not) but well... I dunno, they've always been one of those things that really get my mind going. And I don't mean the pretty, peaceful, romanticized version, I mean the real thing where everything is out to get you. I get this feeling of might, hostility, danger, but at the same time beauty and balance (<-The heck I've been smoking?).
Anyway, best thing over there? Finally got to hang out with IRL not only once but TWICE. Man, we were both short on cash on one of the most expensive cities in the world (Most specifically, THE most expensive part of the city) but well, you don't need money to have fun . I even got to know his place and some of his friends. Protip: if you're inviting a stranger you met through the internet to your place, make sure you've known that stranger for a while (Luckily that happened to be the case here, he had already made sure I wasn't some psycho with a knife ).
Always fun to meet a deviant face-to-face, wish more of you guys lived closer (It's going to be a while until I can hang out with this guy again).
And now for some more downer news... I've honestly been back since last Thursday. First thing I had planned to do was writing a Journal about how awesome my trip had been and how I actually had material to submit this time but then I did... Nothing. Seriously, spent the last (Four?) days just idling by, watching TV shows that I didn't even like, watching random Youtube, meme sites...
Sad thing is that could have gone on forever. I've realized that quite a few times so it still amazes me I have to be aware of it: doing nothing leads to more doing nothing. For the regular person that may be OK but well... Not for me.
We are a community of creators: we don't just settle for what's out there, we have that drive, ideas and skills to make something new. Why just consume when you can create?
So, in order to get over that "do nothing" phase I was thinking of doing my DA story like everyone else is doing but... That would end up quite dull (Saw 's work, joined, found fanfiction, did fanfiction, met people, did sprite icons, did coloring, read more fanfiction, did more fanfiction, became admin of the :iconrandomdoomfanclub:, here I am. See? Bo-ring!) so instead here's a meme that some friends have been doing and decided it was worth a shot.
Rules:
1. Choose one (five in this case) of your OCs.
2. Your OC must answer every question as truthfully as possible.
3. Journal title should be "OC Interview".
4. When you're done, tag as many people as you wish.
5. Have fun!!!
Our guests will be:
Lin the Linoone.
Tina the Flygon.
Tyler the Swellow.
Hazel the Shiftry.
-----------------------------------
1. Hi! What's your real name and nickname?
Lin: Hello! My name is Lin, and... I don't think I have a nickname.
Tina: My real name is Tiny, but everyone calls me Tina.
Tyler: I'm Tyler, short enough so no nickname.
Hazel: My name is Hazel and everyone reffers to me as that.
2. Interesting... what's your current age?
Lin: I'm about 4 years old!
Tina: 3 years! Well, I'm guessing, I used to live on a desert and I only kept track of night and day, not so much years.
Tyler: 5 years
Hazel: I think the question is referring to age relative to human years so I my answer is 22.
Lin: Wait! That's what they were asking?! Umm... I'm... 17? 18?
Tyler: That would make me around 24.
Tina: How am I supposed to know what my age is in human years?!
3. Uh-huh. What's your favorite food?
Lin: Berries! Any berry will do except the bitter ones... and the spicy ones... oh, and the ones too sour... and the ones that are too dry... and..
Tina: I like Cacnea, but I haven't had any since I evolved into a Vibrava.
Tyler: I'll eat anything, but if you have Wurmple I'll take it.
Hazel: I don't need to eat, just need water. That said, even when I do I don't preffer any food to another.
4. And your favorite drink?
Lin: Berry Juice?
Tina: I like Fresh Water. It tastes like nothing, but it's fresh!
Tyler: Lemonade or Soda Pop, love both.
Hazel: Once again, just water.
5. Confession time! Who's your crush/lover?
Lin: My Umbreon boyfriend, Ghost. He's really sweet, you wouldn't tell at first glance how much.
Tina: Lots of friends but not really. That's kinda weird when I think about it.
Tyler: I'm a free bird, wouldn't be fair to hold one female over another.
Hazel: Lover? I... I don't hold any love interests for anyone...
6. Aww! Have you kissed yet?
Lin: Of course!
Tina: Can't kiss someone who isn't there.
Tyler: Make a wild guess.
Hazel: No we haven't! Again, just to make it clear, I'm not interested in anyone from my team.
7. Classic question! What's your favorite color?
Lin: Hmm... Purple?
Tina: I like green! And red! And blue! And Purple! Ooh, there's also this color between green and blue that's like both combined, I realy like that one!
Tyler: Blue I guess.
Hazel: I don't have one. Next question please.
8. Who's your favorite author?
Lin: I can't read.
Tina: Favorite what again?
Tyler: I don't read.
Hazel: I'm afraid I don't know how to read.
9. Now what's your biggest fear?
Lin: Something bad happening to master... Or Ghost... Or any of my teammates.
Tina: Drowning? I like water but still...
Tyler: I once had this dream where someone clipped my wings. Still gives me chills just to think about it.
Tina: Something happening to master without me being able to do anything about it.
10. *stifles a giggle* I'm not laughing... *bursts out laughing* Sorry. Any siblings?
Lin: Oh I had four brothers and two sisters and those were just my litter-mates. I miss them sometimes.
Tina: Had plenty of them. Haven't seen them in a while though.
Tyler: You bet, but I was the strongest of them, that's all you need to know.
Hazel: Plenty.
11. Almost done, it's only twenty questions. Who's your hero?
Lin: Master, he saved my life. Then again Ghost did so too once... And Tyler... And Barrett... But mostly master.
Tina: Umm... No idea.
Tyler: I heard once about this one Pidgeot that flew through a storm. Now that takes balls.
Hazel: No such thing as heroes, though I do look up to Barrett, he's a great fighter.
12. Okay, who's your worst enemy?
Lin: I don't like thinking of anyone as an enemy but... I guess anyone who tried to do anything bad to master or my teammates.
Tina: Anyone who would mess with Axel or my friends.
Tyler: Wingullls, hate those guys. Oh wait no, Pelippers, yeah, they're even worse.
Hazel: Anyone I'm fighting.
13. What would you do if your hero and your worst enemy got together?
Lin: Wish they had made peace with each other and were up to something good?
Tina: Respect his decision but keep my distance.
Tyler: Damn. Well, guess I would have to learn to tolerate a possible teammate.
Hazel: I would have no problem as long as I'm not fighting them anymore.
14. Interesting... what would you do if you met your creator?
Lin: I would probably be too amazed to even do anything.
Tina: Creator? You mean my parents? I already did.
Tyler: I guess I would thank him for everything I have.
Hazel: I don't have an answer for that.
15. Okay, I'll contact them right now. Done! Now, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Lin: A good and loving mother.
Tina: When I grow up? Hadn't think of that. Well, keep living?
Tyler: I want to be the fastest flyer ever.
Hazel: A better an wiser fighter.
16. What's your worst nightmare?
Lin: Losing master, Ghost or any of my friends.
Tina: Losing any of my friends.
Tyler: Losing my wings.
Hazel: Losing master or any of my teammates knowing that I could have done something to avoid it.
17.What's your life-long dream?
Lin: Being a good mother and raising many litters along with Ghost.
Tina: I always dreamed of flying.
Tyler: Being the fastest flyer and reaching new heights.
Hazel: It's childish and honestly impossible to achieve but... Being the greatest fighter.
18.What would you do if your life-long dream came true?
Lin: I would be bursting with joy.
Tina: It already did so I just fly.
Tyler: Enjoy that speed of course.
Hazel: I would feel acomplished but keep on training, you can always get better.
19. Okay, where's your favorite place to relax?
Lin: Right next to ghost or on master's lap.
Tina: Undergound.
Tyler: Up high in the sky.
Hazel: A calm and quiet place to meditate in the middle of the woods.
20. Last question! Where do you spend most of your time?
Lin: Near master.
Tina: Flying with Tyler.
Tyler: The sky, trying to beat my own speed record.
Hazel: In the open field, training with Barrett.

Do I get a Cheat Year?
Yes, I'm aware I'm a month late this year, but better late than never, right? n.n' Some people may know this, but the actual important date for me that marks the start of the year is January 6th. Yes, the precise date has gotten some bad rep over the years due to certain events, but hey it was an important milestone for me long before those even happened: It is the date I decided to complete and post my first story online here on DeviantArt. This year, that makes 14 years to the date, or since the date considering that's already in the past as well. While my activity in this site has reduced drastically since then, it was my introduction to the intersection between online spaces and the creative community. It's been a long way since then: I made quite a few friends, a few friendly rivals that pushed me to hone my craft and flex the creative muscles I didn't even know I had and in general helped a young nerdy kid to build some confidence to try other creative endeavors (Music
And Another Year Starts
OK, I've come to accept I'm no longer very active here, but at the very least this yearly Journal entry is very important to me no matter how busy I get. And the reason January 6th is important to me has come to mean more and more over the course of 13 years: Today marks the anniversary of the day that I first posted my first story online. Things change a lot in that time frame, but one thing that I can say for certain is that it changed my life to where I am today, and opened up to the creative works of so many people. To think how far I've come from a nerdy kid that just wanted to write some niche Pokemon fanfiction to... A nerdy man that wants to write even more niche "Property-Inspired Fantasy Prose" (AKA: Fanfiction but fancier undertone), but now slightly more adjusted to interacting with other creative minds. I met some of my art idols, made friends, made enemies, made rivals (Friendly ones, the good kind), somehow made a few fans, and have been implicitly encouraged to see
Give it to one More Year
Oh wow, I'm so good at tradition that even without intending to I kept "Once-per-year" journal :D (This needs to stop >.>). For the people who are still reading this (When they could be doing something so much better with their time but I still appreciate), while New Year's day has never really mattered that much to me (Except for being the excuse for a friend of mine to throw a really cool once-a-year party), January 6 has come to become a really important date every year. While not the day I began to write, it marks the day I posted my first story here on DeviantArt. And boy, have things gone to unexpected places ever since. While it wouldn't seem like a big deal to write Pokemon Fanfiction, it also gave a really nerdy and shy boy a reason to interact with creative people online. I've met some of my "Idols", made friends, friendly rivals, met a few trolls, and bit by bit been pushed to try out things that I wouldn't have tried otherwise and helped me become slightly-less-worse
Another Year has Gone By
Here's to the traditional one and only yearly Journal update here with a promise to update more often (That I never get to fulfill for one reason or another)! :D For those who know me (Who I question their sanity why yet appreciate very greatly, keep it up guys =P) while I have learned to like New Year's Day it doesn't really seems that important to me (Other than being the excuse for some very awesome New Year's parties that this one friend throws every year :D). January 6th, on the other hand? That is a very important date and the real start of the year for me. That is because it marks the anniversary of the first time I submitted a story here on DeviantArt. Granted, I only do fanfiction but that doesn't mean fanworks aren't any good, and that has always been clear since a young Axel got "curious about what the Pokemaniacs were up to nowadays" and was met with very intimidatingly good fanart and fanfiction good enough to make me curious and eventually interested and inspired in

I like the idea behind this and I think you did a good job, capturing the unique personality of each and every one of them.
It was easy to fell like "hey, that sounds about right" for most of the answers in regards to the characters who answered.
