hi! i'll answer most of your questions here since my answers are long af
Q by the lovely duckkookies:
"what food combinations do you enjoy?? i might try them if i can eat it."
A: omg i have so much like i love making food combos so this might be lowkey long <33 as of now, i think sesame oil and vanilla ice cream is so good (+points with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper! you can adjust the amount of sesame oil to your liking, but i suggest to drizzle a bit first to you know test the waters. for my legal age pals here, melona + soju. i personally like the mango/ube melona and peach soju together. if you want to be adventurous, i have this thing where like i mash potatoes and soft boiled eggs then mix cucumbers, and pickled onions (it makes a good sandwich just add lettuce).
Q: "how do you generate ideas with your brain because i can't even think of an idea for a simple question 👁️👄👁️ pls give me tips 😔😔"
A: well like i think i've answered this but i think it's because i'm always curious and an overthinker. there's this filipino word "lutang" and it literally translates to floating. when used for describing people it usually means that person is spaced out or daydreaming (basically me). i always daydream or space out thinking of whatever was the last thing i saw, watch, talked about, or listened to. it starts with that simple thing then i usually like imagine a movie with my own characters and build a basic plot
for care i did mention that chapter 25 was the basis of everything and i built a plot around it. that came from shower thoughts and a conversation Haru and I had about parenting. i thought "how would it end up there and why it has to be like that" so i started with making Haneul's character and background and built a timeline and basic plot around it. of course, a lot of things change on the way. for example, i was supposed to mention that lucas is actually yeojeong 's prince's reincarnation, but i scrapped it out the final cut.
for outcast, i had a dream about being able to use magic and the morning after that i kept thinking about it so i built a world of magic that is uniquely mine but not to far from the rules of the world. for example, balancing out the Aureus Magus by making them unstable without the latent angels. no one should be too op or too weak.
for one of my unique stories, otome, it actually started with me asking my older sister what if one day, astra (the guy from her otome game) came to the real world and started acting like her boyfriend. after that discussion, i actually thought about it and tried to make a plot. that story took me two months to plan on how to make it seem magical but is very realistic.
if it helps, write it down on a piece of paper or type it out! it's good to have notes or illustrations of what you want to see so it's easier to clean up and finalize!

Q: "what are your hobbies/interests?"
A: i'm a person who likes trying a lot of things so my interests change a lot. i do a lot of art, cooking, writing, i love dancing, and i like to sing songs (+points if it's from a musical). if i'm in an art block or slump i usually just watch shows on netflix or youtube. shoutout to injunniez for being my movie buddy <33
Q: "do you have pets? if not, which would you get?"
A: oh i used to have birds. this might be cringe but like anyone who knows me would know i love cats and would want to get one <33 like i'm obsessed with cats i have usernames where i use loucat (in games) or if i see anything cat themed i might impulsively buy it like ask ann she knows how easily i cave in. there's this dotae moment where taeyong literally wants to buy everything
Q: "favorite dinosaur?"
A. lambeosaurus ;DDD but if like it doesn't deal with jisung then i'd have to say t-rex because they're very meme-able
Q: "whose concert would you like to attend?"
A. if not any nct units or nct as a whole, then day6 or skz. my friend and i actually agreed to go to a day6 concert if they ever went to my country like we both memorized a lot of their songs TT
Q: "what personality traits do you value in yourself?"
A. i had to check this with my sisters and i do have to agree it's that i'm really playful. when i'm bored or it feels gloomy i like making the mood with shitty jokes or just plainly being affectionate until they're annoyed or laughing. ann has a love-hate relationship with this personality trait because she enjoys her peace. if not being playful, i think it's being understanding and lowkey sensitive? ann says i have a similar personality to jeno (based on the boy's mental training camp thing) so yeah maybe that. i like how i'm sensitive for others and myself.
Q: "where would you like to travel/visit?"
A: New Zealand, South Korea, London, and Japan. If not for the scenery, i'd go for the food and experience. i live in a country with tropical weather so i really want to play in snow. i don't care if i'm 20 i will make snow angels and a snowman
Q: "favorite superhero and why?"
A: actually, my favorite superhero hasn't changed since i was a kid. i love spiderman <333 I'm not kidding as a kid i had so many t-shirts, pajamas, dolls, and figurines of spiderman. i'll attach one temporarily but i'll remove it after 3 days!
Q: "favorite cartoon?"
A: well like don't attack me but anime is like literally japanese cartoons if you look at the meaning and i have a shit ton of them like i've been watching anime since i was in like second grade?
WESTERN CARTOONS: steven universe and bee and puppycat
ANIME: Death Parade, Terror in Resonance, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, HunterxHunter, Kakegurui, FMAB, Dororo, Gosick, No Game No Life
Honorable Mentions: Trese
Q: "funniest joke you know?"
A: and here's where the language barrier kicks in HAHHAHAHAH i usually say jokes even if they aren't funny but my older sister always laughs at them because i do it in a meme vibrato voice so honestly i'm not sure what's the funniest i've done or said. i don't have any funny jokes but i'll tell you a couple of funny things
i was out with friends and it was like rush hour already so it was hard to find a jeep (our public transport here) so we decided to walk about 3.3KM to the terminal. we like found a stoplight that takes forever to turn green so we started dancing or just dancing in general and running around the road but then we saw like those huge ass trucks started to move so we ran back to the sidewalk
i once sneaked out of school to get my homework at home since it wasn't that far but the doorbell wasn't working so i climbed our gate and broke in TT
back in elementary school the fake cockroaches were really popular and stuff and one of my classmates gave me one to take home. i think i was playing with it and ann saw it and wanted to try it so i tossed it to her and it fell on the ground so she picked it up. but then it started moving... i'll leave the rest to your imagination

Q: "DO U LOVE ME MY FAVORITE UNNIE?"
A: omg yes ofc like i love your comments and i'm so happy that you support my work (also hearing that i'm someone's favorite makes me so happy this actually made me so soft TT) i actually have a list of readers who comment/vote/interact with me a lot so i can keep track of you guys. when your comments are especially nice, funny, or supportive, i show you guys off to my sisters <33 like "look at them they're so precious"
Q: "how r u so creative and talented?"
A: i think everyone is born with a natural talent, and it's in us and our environment to naturally hone them. i'm not that talented, but i've always been a curious kid who loves trying everything even if i fail at it. as for creativity, it's all in the daydreaming XDD in philippines we have this word "lutang" which roughly translates to floating and that word describes how i am most of the time
Q: "where e u frmmm"
A: Philippines! I grew up in a US territory so like idk i'm a mix of cultures and always have identity crises (also explains why i'm trilingual??)
