Mentioned by the and others out there~

1. Why is that your dA Username?

Because it was the name my host family gave me and Akutsu was the name of that nice family in Tochigi, Japan who took me in during my visit to the Land of the Rising Sun ^^

DYK?

I still get letters from my loving host family and—OH! I now have FOUR host siblings instead of three x3

The latest letter I got from them. Hehehe. The newest member to the family is Gakuto-kun :3

^{Also my previous username, “hidamari-anpan” was the result of watching too many Kyoani/Kei animations (i.e. Kanon, Clannad) at the time I joined dA.}

Hidamari- Kanon’s main heroine’s theme

Anpan- Clannad’s main heroine’s fave food

2. What's your purpose in dA?

To express myself and my inner thoughts through arts and to get better at it

DYK?

I didn’t get serious with drawing until my first year of college. Those were the days I started bringing a sketchbook everywhere with me and drew whatever I wanted to draw (within my skill level). I hope to continue in my progress to open a manga drawing school in my town someday.

3. How did you find dA?

Forever Faithful to my First Fandom: Avatar The Last Airbender, where I would stare at the copious amounts of beautiful fanart for hours

But then it all changed when the Fire Nation attacked *fireblasted to another fandom*

DYK?

I didn’t think of joining until I saw :dinosaurusgede:’s works and thought of joining because I wanted to comment. at the time I joined dA.

5. What are your most favorite Groups on dA?

DYK?

I’m the new founder of

It’s a fun group where you can post art of your OCs.

We will be here as you will be welcomed to creating a great place to share your OCs

6. Who are your favorite deviants?

DYK?

Three I mentioned here have used to have a common vantage point where I could find them...but now I want to forget about the vantage point and start forging a friendship with each one of the three because they are beautiful and soulful in their own unique way

7. Why do you like them?
They have wonderful arts but not only that....

They have introduced to me many things I enjoy now; they have shared to me things that I would like to value. They’ve kept me company during my hardest of days and I enjoyed small moments I share to them online

DYK?

I’m friends with some of them in FB. You guys know who you are XD

8. What do you mostly post about?

-Fanart and Chibis

DYK?

I want to open commissions soon—I want to pay my parents back since their sponsoring for my internship to Thailand isn’t enough ;u;. Also I want to post NSFW art soon (don’t google this kids. I warn you DX )

9. What is your dA mascot? (If you have any.)

Hmmmmmm

That would be Mari....

Felicia….

And Kamepan.

DYK?

I look something like this irl

And my hair is uber curly X33

Happy Late Hearts Day to you guys<3

10. Your skin color.

Coffee~ X3

DYK?

That my Mama wants to call me pale?! Eff that Mama, being coffee-colored (tanned) is delicious

11. Tell us about yourself. From Hobbies to skills you have.

Let’s see…

I play the piano, but I haven’t been to a recital since starting college (got busy ;A; ). I’ve also read an array of novels during highschool. And for those who have noticed, I’m very articulate when it comes to communicating in English (even to the point where me speaking is called “slang” here[ Footnote: “slang” in Filipino means “someone who sounds foreign” not just someone who uses an excessive amount of metaphors and slang that it gives anyone with a common mind a gushing nosebleed (/oAo\);; )

People say I can type fast...but I think this was the result of indulging to writing fanfiction during highschool =u=;;; (I dont write the stuff much anymore...)

Other than those I like researching about the topics relating to multiverses, introversion, cosplay, New York City and cultures from in and around the world

DYK?

I CAN'T SPEAK MY NATIONAL LANGUAGE PROPERLY TO SAVE MY LIFE ;;;;A;;;; AND I USED TO GET ASHAMED OF BEING SUCH AN ENGLISHERA BECAUSE MY DAD WOULD USE TO SCREAM AT ME FOR MY LACK OF FLUENCY....

12. 5 facts about yourself.

1. I can come off as quiet, maybe even shy, in real life. I may even look serious to some before they figure out how silly I can be
2. I learned my English the same way Patricia from Lucky Star learned her Japanese (Watching animated cartoons )
3. I try to keep balance of having my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground (being both a realist and a dreamer…hard work~)
4. Whenever I speak English I have an accent and it would sound either American to many, and just the other day, someone I just met called my accent to be rather “Indian”
5. I’m the most traveled individual in my class (having travelled to 6 countries and counting and 10 provinces in my lifetime) and yet I still haven’t attended a Mindanao Convention for International Studies

Let’s see if I can get To Tagging To Ten Then….
