Me

Personal bios seem to be becoming obligatory these days, so here's mine. I'm a strange person and I admit it whole-heartedly. Bask in the weirdness that is me. Yes, this is mostly the same as what's posted at fanfiction.net, because I'm too lazy to make more than one.

Name: Tsukino Akume
Yes, this is actually my nickname in normal life. My big sister gave it to me. It's Japanese for Moon's Wild or Untamable Horse. Being that it's in Japanese, the last name comes first, so in American terms it would be Akume Tsukino. My real name is common and I don't feel suits me very well. My other nicknames include She That Simply Is, Homofiend of Sap, Peggy, Andros, and Sunny.
Gender: Female, much to my dismay.
Age: Older than some of you, younger than others. The closest hint I'll give is that Starhawk isn't that much older than me.
Location: Middle of Nowhere, Idaho. -Shrugs- At least it's pretty.
Likes: All things cheezy, shiny, or both. I'm an animal lover, environmentalist, and vegetarian, not necessarily in that order. I enjoy reading, writing, and altering pictures. I also collect quotes, fanfics, medieval weaponry, and refrigerator magnets.
Dislikes: Bad dubbing, Math, meat and/or vivid descriptions of animal death, missionaries, prejudice, rude people, things purposely misspelled, and the phrase 'Just joshin' ya.' -Twitches-

According to my own Color Theory analysis of myself, I am: a Power Mesh of Psychic-Type White and Green Morphin, Green Zeo, Earth/Mind Ninja, Dôbutsu no Rei Samurai, and Mystic Force Wind. According to Ellen Brand, I am: Green Panther Ninjacoin with White Falcon Streaks, and Green Zeo.

Favorite Characters:
Because so many people want to know

  • Sailormoon-Usagi, Hotaru, Haruka
    Usagi's a bubblehead with a genuinely kind and good heart that never gets enough credit for all the crap she goes through. Hotaru's life just sucks; she kills things, she dies, she gets reborn and raised by the people who tried to kill her. Haruka kicks ass; she's funny, rude, and aggressive, and doesn't give a shit what other people think. Not to mention the whole 'I never said I was a boy' thing. ^_^
  • Gundam Wing-Quatre, Duo
    Quatre is adorable, empathic, and a humble rich boy. I *adore* people with special abilities, even if his 'uchuu no kokoro' seems to be a pain in the ass more than anything. Duo is wild, crazy, funny, and never fails to make me laugh.
  • Digimon-Takeru, Taichi, Takato, Takuya
    Takeru was adorable, then developed that cool passive/aggressive attitude. Taichi tries too hard, screws up, and tries again, making stupid jokes the whole time. Takato's emotional and gets attached easily, then tries to pretend he isn't. Takuya kicks ass because someone needs to be the protector, and yet he still wants Koji's approval half the time.
  • Saiyuki-Goku
    He eats too much, he whines, he complains, he irritates the hell out of everyone, and in the end he kicks ass whenever someone hurts his 'Sun'. Plus he has one of the saddest backstories I’ve ever seen.
  • Sorceror Stabber Orphen-Majic
    He's cute, he's a terrible Sorceror, and talks back to Orphen as much as he tries to impress him.
  • Weib Kreuz-Omi
    A sweetie and obsessed with shorts. He has *the* worst backstory I've ever seen.
  • Card Captor Sakura-Sakura, Yue
    Sakura tries hard, finally sucks at something, and works to be better. Plus the whole "Hoe!" thing is cute. Yue... -Drools- He's snobby, uptight, rude, and *gorgeous*.
  • Ranma 1/2-Ranma, Akane
    Ranma is often misunderstood, or in the wrong place at the wrong time. Akane is misunderstood and violent. They're best misunderstood together.
  • Neon Genesis Evangelion-Shinji
    Shinji needs a hug. End of story. Well, that and Kaworu.
  • DNAngel-Daisuke, Dark
    -Squeals- Daisuke no kawaii! He's so sweet and shy, and I just wanna...snuggle him! Dark makes me laugh, because he's such a smartass.
  • Fullmetal Alchemist-Edward Elric, Alphonse Elric
    I'm a sucker for protective siblings. That, and Ed freaks out over the dumbest things, but he's a lot smarter than he seems. Al's too cute; he's got such a sweet personality, and this strange fondness for cats. And I like it when he yells at his big brother for doing stupid things.
  • Kyo Kara Maoh/God(?!) Save Our King-Yuri, Wolfram
    -Grins- Yuki's such a dork, and he's always getting himself into the worst sitations on accident. Wolfram is too funny! And I *love* when he pulls the jealous boyfriend bit! Pink nightgown... -Snickers-
  • Teen Titans-Beastboy, Robin
    Beastboy is hilarious. That's my entire reasoning. Robin's not there much, but he seems to be trying to project the perfect leader aura. I think there's more going on with him than I've seen. And bonus points for being the only regular human on the team.
  • Power Rangers-Justin, Dustin, Bridge, Trip, Kimberly
    Justin is a fanboy/genius who makes me laugh and acts just like I would have in his situation. Dustin is an airheaded fanboy who makes me laugh, and is disturbingly similar to me. How can you not love Bridge? He's hilarious, adorable, smart, psychic, and loves toast! It's hours of entertainment in an adorable package! Trip has psychic abilities, which is just cool, and he's a bit of a techno-geek, which is also cool. Kimberly was the coolest Pink Ranger ever; an airhead who kicked ass and learned to fight with the best of them. Putting up with Mr. Technicolor Mood Swing as a boyfriend gives her bonus points.
  • Stargate SG-1-Daniel
    The bookworm in the military; how cute can you get? And I love the way he gets so excited when he discovers something new.
  • Supernatural-Dean and Sam Winchester
    I can't pick between my boys! I originally thought I'd love Sam, because broody emo-boys are totally my thing, but Dean made me laugh so hard from the moment I first watched him, and his protective big brotherness is adorable. Then over time Sam's broodiness and puppy eyes won me over, and *then* he got psychic powers! *_* I adore them equally, especially for the way they interact.

Favorite Pairings:
*Note this does not mean I'm not open to other pairings; these are just my favorites.

  • Sailormoon-Mamoru/Usagi, Haruka/Michiru
    Mamoru and Usagi have died for each other several times over. I particularly like them in the manga, when Mamoru is more sweet and romantic to Usagi, and Usagi is less of a bubblehead and has moments of melancholy. They make a beautiful, sweet couple, and I always get warm fuzzies when I read about them. Haruka and Michiru I prefer in the anime, because I'm not so sure about their relationship in the manga. (And I like tomboy Haruka better.) I like them because they're an awesome team, genuinely care for one another, and aren't afraid to tease each other.
  • Gundam Wing-3+4, 1+2
    Trowa smiles for Quatre. How many other people does that boy smile for? His sister? And Quatre gets so excited whenever he sees Trowa. They just...click, in a cute, fuzzy way. Heero and Duo are destructive and drive each other crazy, but they always have each other's back. Heero needs Duo's energy and unpredictableness, and Duo needs Heero's calm and determination. Enough said.
  • Digimon-Yamachi, Kensuke/Daiken, Jenkato, Kokuya, Takari
    Yamato as the protector is cute, and I see Taichi as needing the reassurance underneath all his bravado. Daisuke makes Ken smile, and Ken is the only person who doesn't think he's an idiot; I like either pairing. Jenrya was the first person to take Takato seriously, and Takato dragged him out of his shell to be his friend. Koji and Takuya are at each other's throats or backing each other up, but I see them as the later generation of Yamato and Taichi all the same. Takari may be overdone, but they're sweet and they work well together.
  • Saiyuki-Sanzo/Goku, Gojyo/Hakkai
    Sanzo is the only person who puts up with Goku in a routine basis, and despite all his threats won't get rid of him. Goku's adoration and possessiveness is really cute. Gojyo and Hakkai just seem to need each other.
  • Sorceror Stabber Orphen-Orphen/Majic
    Orphen's protective, and Majic is eager to impress Orphen, but still talks back. Even though Orphen can and usually does kick his ass. It amuses me.
  • Yami no Matsuei-Tsuzuki/Hisoka
    They need each other, even though they'll never admit it. More opposites attracting. And I love the way they're so protective of one another.
  • Weiz Kreiz-Aya/Omi
    I always think brooding types go best with bubbly ones. And *the* episode says it all: 'You are Omi Tsukiyono.' Aya refuses to call him a Takatori, and Omi nearly cries he's so happy. Fluffy moment in my eyes.
  • Card Captor Sakura-Syaoran/Sakura, Touya/Yukito
    I have the Enchanted Cards movie. I squeal many times at how adorable Sakura and Syoaran are. They freak each other out, and yet they work so well together. Touya and Yukito have the whole "Miaka!" "Tamahome!" thing going on. They look out for each other, they protect each other, and when trouble looms, they're screaming each other's name, and somehow manage to keep from being irritating about it.
  • Ranma 1/2-Ranma/Akane, Ranma/Ryoga
    See previous Ranma/Akane comments. I wasn't into Ranma/Ryoga at first, but someone had a very well written story about the true reason Ryoga hates Ranma so much, and why they fight but Ranma won't ever actually hurt him.
  • Neon Genesis Evangelion-Kaworu/Shinji
    Kaworu flat out tells Shinji he loves him, something Shinji has never heard from *anyone* before. What more do you need? Well, that and his other options are bleak; Asuka's a bitch, Rei's kinda/sorta/technically his sister, and Misato is kinda/sorta his mother figure. Kinda. Kaworu made him feel good about himself, and goodness knows that poor boy needs it.
  • DNAngel-Dark/Daisuke, Hiwatari/Daiuke
    Um... -Shuffles feet- I didn't *mean* to fall for Dark/Daisuke. It just kinda happened. It's the last episode's fault. That, and the Second Hand of Time thing, when all Dark cares about is rescuing Daisuke, even though his life would be a lot easier without him. Hiwatari/Daisuke is just so obvious, especially in the manga. And Daisuke's cute when he's oblivious. ^_^
  • Fullmetal Alchemist-Roy Mustang/Edward Elric
    -Snickers- Ah, the sparks that fly. Literally.
  • Kyo Kara Maoh/God(?!) Save Our King-Yuri/Wolfram
    It's all about the jealous, possessive boyfriend.
  • Teen Titans-Robin/Beastboy
    I never thought of this until I read a fic, but it really works well. Robin's a bit too dark and brooding, and Beastboy is funny and charming. They balance.
  • Power Rangers-Tommy/Kim, Rocky/Adam, Leo/Kai, Wes/Eric, Shane/Dustin, Hunter/Cam
    Tommy and Kim are a total Romeo/Juliet couple; I hated the way the wrote her off in the show and stuck him with Kat. It's not that I don't like Kat, but he and Kim were more star-stuck, and I refuse to believe Kim would be that cruel. Rocky and Adam are yin and yang: boisterous Rocky, shy and quiet Adam. Opposites attract. Leo is charmingly trouble, and Kai seems to permanently have a stick up his ass until Leo gets through with him. The way they interact is adorable, namely because most of the time Leo does something stupidly brave, and Kai gets to yell at him for it. Even if you don't like slash, you've got to admit that Wes and Eric act like jilted lovers throughout most of the Time Force season. But for all their issues with each other, when they finally work together as a team, it's so perfect you can barely tell they ever didn't get along. They're perfectly, adorably, dysfunctional, and I adore them for it. Shane and Dustin are best friends who constantly back each other up and look out for one another. There are tiny hints if you look, and I can see them teetering over the line between friends and more. Hunter and Cam I found through Starhawk and had to go back to understand. The sarcasm and banter is cute and amusing.
  • Stargate SG-1-Jack/Daniel
    So obvious, and so cute. Someone has to look out for Daniel when he's translating all those languages, right?

As far as I know, I am the first official Shane/Dustin writer. I'm slowly but surely trying to bring in converts. My tastes in genre are pretty broad, and depend on my mood. I'm open to different couples as long as they're written believably and I do my best not to be upset at character bashing. While I do it in offline life, I try to be fair in my stories. I figure that every character is someone's favorite for some reason, and I know it annoys me when Justin is portrayed as a whiny brat who can't do anything right.

I have an odd fascination with homosexuals, yet for some reason am oblivious to their presence. I'm becoming infamous for my lack of gaydar. My friends seem to think it's the funniest thing in the world. The true irony behind this is that I grew up homophobic. Fanfiction and a dear friend coming out forced me to rethink a lot of my views. Somehow, I became what I am now. I don't know how, either.

A word of caution: almost anything I write will have homosexual relationships, and occasionally foul language. Almost, mind you. I'm sad to admit I have my good days, just like the rest of us. If you don't like or can't accept such things, I suggest you make yourself scarce.

As for my stories, just about anything I write is also AU. There are some concepts I don't agree with, so I tend to expand on what they started, and turn the entire series into a completely different universe. The cannon timelines still exist; I just choose not to acknowledge them. I honestly can't think of any series I've written without doing that to it. Besides that, I seem to be extraordinarily mean to my favorite characters and make them go through some dark trauma to prove how cool they are. -Shrugs-

If one of my stories isn't listed as complete, that means it isn't finished - no matter how long it's been since I worked on it. I DO NOT abandon my stories. But rather than keep staring at one I can't get any ideas for, I move on with new ideas as I get them so that above all, I'm still writing.

If I have a story you particularly love that still isn't finished and you want to see more of it, -Glances guiltily at FtD- send me a review and complain! Ask questions about what's going on in the story, about something you'd like explained or just what's going to happen next that you'd like to see. Nothing gets me more inspired than questions from reviewers - it's where half my ideas come from.

So don't give up! I WILL finish the story you like! ... I just can't say when exactly that will be. x.x

In the immortal the words of a friend of mine, I respond well to bribery. Reviews, pocky, and Shane/Dustin stories count as bribery. Feel free to bribe me at any time. -Salutes-
