Description I got tagged by   ! Feels like the old days back when DeviantArt had a decent logo! Soooo here it goes:

1. Who is your best friend on dA?
Hmmm haha good question... I had a lot of people I interacted with a lot 4-5 years ago but since I visit here so sparsely idk anymore??? /shame/ Most likely probably and as for most correspondence lately   on DA. As in for people I know irl... probably so sorry for not talkign to people omggas ;sdaj you are all too lovely okay

2. What is your favourite colour?
Blue but especially Teal!!

3. Your age? (not exactly just like around 10, 15, 20,...)
18 yah Im old

4. Your eye colour?
Boring brown two bottomless pits of darkness swallowing up all light XD

5. The first anime you ever watched?
Does My Neighbor Totoro count??  I think as in following an anime series specifically probably Hetalia, but I'm usually more of a manga person  

6. Favourite book?
HMMMM YOU DRIvE A HARD QUESTION DONTCHA! Probably either Fly by Night by Frances Hardinge (*swoon*) or The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon. SO in love with the language and stories of both of them...

7. If you would be suspended from school, how would you react?
Lol Probably really freaked out like anyone else because I'd probably be super clueless and scared about why and how

8. A morning person?
AHAAHAH (I try tho)

9. Your favourite fanfiction (with link )
HMMMM I don't usually read a whole lot of fanfics (I get waaay too amused by just reading the summaries lol) But I really really enjoyed "Find a Temple, Build a Temple" by eggjam  (Homestuck lol) because it's so beautifully written and since it's an AU it works really well as a standalone story for those not immersed in the fandom

10. Favourite subject in school?
Right now?? Hm I really like my Historical Kidlit Fiction class!! (that's what I call it anyway) We read Island of the Blue Dolphins and discussed it in the context of greater Californian/Native American history and it was just like 4th grade except interesting and more detailed

Now, choose one of your OCs....

OC questions:

11. Your name?
Serafima Petrova
12. Are you single?
Yes. (She's ace/aro lol)
13. Do you like your creator (yes, you dear deviant xD)
*looks around suspiciously trying to catch a glimpse of said "creator"* I'm not religious I don't know what you're talking about

14. Have any other OC friends?
At first I was too busy but recently some people have been getting more friendly. There's also this ghost...actually nevermind 

15. What do you really hate?
The Bourgeoisie (hahaha couldn't think of anything actually need to work on that! so stock answer)


Back to your questions, dear deviant:

16. Do you like answering these questions?
yes
17. Are you gonna tag somebody else?
YES
18. Even 10 persons?
SURE WHY NOT
19. How many watchers/friends do you have?
341
20. Your first deviation (with link)

Oh my gulai it's not even a drawing it's a gawdawful poem #7thgrade
something in the riverthere is something in the water
dont go down to the riverbank
where many terrors lie in wait
there where the reeds grow dark and dank

where many a maiden innocent
fell prey to the water's allure
of mystery and excitement
and now for them there is no cure

who knows what lies beyond the fen
a serpent, pray, who hungers still?
who dwells in a deep quicksand pit
who's always on the watch to kill?

o who shall ever rescue us
in honor of all those dear lives
who got entangled in the pit
of where the hidden monster thrives?

but yet they say before this age
is over, there shall be one so
who'll rise to slay the secret beast
and leav

Haha you guys don't have to do this but I'll tag u:



(I can't think of anyone else I really know who's still active anymore :0 )

I just re-read my own comment and I swear when I was writing it I was convinced you are another friend of mine, and I wondered why the hell is Item tagging me. I saw her icon there. I mean, I didn't see it, but my mind is playing tricks on me all the time lately =,= Too much medicine, I guess. This is the moment when you realize that talking to me was a grave mistake.

well, my life sucks =,= I'm struggling with chronic sinuses infection and it ruins everything for me - I'm constantly tired, I mix up and mess up the simplest things I do, and the pain is unbearable at times. You probably noticed I almost don't do anything neither here or on tumblr. I also had some financial issues lately, stresses at work and so on.
At least fandoms are still there. I mean, all the mangas and movies and other stuff I love. I don't have the strength to write or draw anything about them, but I can still read and watch. Although usually I'm not entirely sure what do I see then.

And what about you? I hope nowhere as awful as me, eh?

yeah I admit was a bit confused when you said irl because I was like "wait aren't you on the other side of the world??" then I started questioning whether I had been imagining things all along XD But nooo talking to you is not a mistake! I just feel kinda bad bc I'm so periodically inactive here when I know such nice people here 

Ahh I'm so sorry to hear about that, it sounds like a load to deal with :0 thanks for taking the time to comment on my stuff though! :d  Idk if it helps at all but I'd be more than happy to draw you a thing at any time, so feel free to ask! And Yes tho fandoms can be pretty comforting, and I'm glad u have them as a solace <3 Anything new you've been watching/reading?

As for me hm the past few days I've just been studying and stuff with friends...i have a lot of projects  I should be hurrying up on haha! Also lots of doodling in between, though I haven't posted a whole lot of stuff since it's mostly really sketchy on scrap paper I carry around heh. I procrastinate a lot tho so I've ended up reading a lot of comics lately

I'm so sorry it takes me so long to answer ;___;
Lately I'm back at watching Cantonese movies, mostly Kung-Fu genre. I love them. Oh and I have my new hero, since I watched EVERYTHING Jet Li ever starred in and kinda needed someone to take his place. Namely, I'm following Donnie Yen's filmography. But even though I feel like I want to draw something about it, well... I'm either too tired or too busy or feel too discouraged by my own lack of ideas and failing skill. I hit one of those points where you get stuck and just can;t get anything in, I stopped improving. If I can't improve, there's no appeal in it, if you know what I mean.
Eh, it's far too complicated for my battered brain to process it and put it into words.

Whooop sorry for the like month long pause in replying! I've sseen all your reblubbed photosets of the kung fu/wuxia movies on tumblr  and indeed they do look super cool! I haven't seen a whole lot except for Crouching Tiger when I was little (formative movie heheh) and Hero. But yuuss keep up with your paintings/drawings! I know it's touch being busy and all, but at the very least if it's somethign you do for enjoyment, don't let it get you down Improvement will come eventually and unexpectedly, that's how i usually see it XD

shabby-girl In reply to tomato-bird [2015-03-30 19:48:35 +0000 UTC]

as u see, i'm even worse at answering xDDDDD  U should watch wuxia movies, just saying. We'd have even more in common then bc I have no doubts you'd love those powerful visuals just as i do

ahh so cool! Do you have any in particular that you'd recommend? :0

shabby-girl In reply to tomato-bird [2015-04-01 20:21:35 +0000 UTC]

u probably know Hero, but I still recommend it, then Bodyguards and Assassins (i'm currently in awe and horrible emotional pain over this one), Wuxia (or The Dragon), The Warlords, Fearless, House of Flying Daggers, Seven Swords <---this one has some awesome visuals and editing that stuck in my mind thought I thought I've seen everything ... I would recommend some older, too, but I wonder if you'd be able to digest their specific cheese charm
like Kung Fu Cult Master, the Once Upon The Time in China series, New Dragon Gate Inn
mind you, I'm not expert, there's plenty good ones I have yet to see
