Other Interests and Hobbies?

Clearly this forum is targeted to anime/manga fans who are
interested in writing and the visual arts, but surely there's
more to us than storytelling and reviewing. I suppose this topic
can get a little personal, if you want it to, but I'd consider
it more of an open invitation to brag on yourself a little.
Even outside of my writing and drawing, I fancy myself to be
something of an interesting person. I love history, and
weaponry, and pushing my body as well as my mind. Because of
that, I find myself involved in some shenanigans with my
friends, from creating cosplay prop weapons to sparring with
them, and outside of that I practice parkour and slacklining. I
consider myself moderately decent at both. Leaning more towards
the art side, I also do some voice acting dabbling and mess
around on music programs once in a while. Then I proceed to
dance, in something of a mixture of hardstyle and industrial
dance styles.
I just learn to love new things, and how they work. Sure I tend
to gloss over them for a brief overview before picking apart the
finer details, if I'm interested enough, but I don't think that
necessarily subtracts from my interests. At this point in life,
I consider myself a Jack of Most Trades and Ace of None. I'd
love to have the honor of bearing the title Renaissance Woman
someday.
Now, what about you all? We're a relatively small bunch, and I
suppose this could turn into something of an off-topic topic
about other stuff in general, but hey, this place could use a
little life, yeah?

Well I enjoy American comics. I like playing video games a lot
and trying to make indie games. I'm not good at the coding. But
I'm learning. Sprite design is horrible too.

Ah, yeah, sprites. I have some friends (shocker, I know) who are
into coding and the like, and I heard the same thing from one of
my friends about his video game design class.
I too have an inclination for American comic books, and am
personally not a part of the Marvel vs DC war because both have
good products and each has its own style. As far as Marvel goes,
I'm an X-Men kinda girl and I have all but one of the issues of
Phoenix Endsong and a few collections, notably including the
Emma Frost original first volume. As forDC, I suppose the Batman
universe, but not Batman himself, if that makes sense. The
Creeper, Zatanna, and Harley Quinn are some of my favorites, but
as far as the Justice League goes, I've loved Hawkgirl in the
cartoon when I was little. Little me was like "She has red hair
like me! I wanna be strong like her!" Lately a friend of mine is
dragging me into Etrigan the Demon and John Constantine and the
Spectre. Then again, this is the same friend of mine who loves
Lobo...ah, that DC nerd, I love her. I do have copies of the
April and May 89 1st and 2nd issue of one iteration of the
Huntress lying around here somewhere...

I love and hate Marvel and DC for different and same reasons
(does that make sense?)
I've recently hated Marvel more. I feel like they are looking
for new fans and not old fans.

For the movies, yeah, I'm extremely inclined to agree. Old comic
books are where it's at, man.

I review other people's stories. I get some money out of it. But
completely related to books. Seems like work.
I don't have much hobbies except I used to enjoy walking at the
park. But now with the invasion of pokemon go. I can't get my
peace and quiet.
I often like to draw my own fashion line. But I keep those top
secret.

I think it'd be quite interesting to see your work. I don't
believe I've ever seen your art, come to think of it.
But, yeah, I feel you about Pokemon Go. It needs to Pokemon
Stop, or at least Pokemon Slow Down. Not only do they keep
crashing their own servers, but some crazy people do crazy
things because they aren't paying attention...Not everyone is
bad, I'll grant that, but it is frustrating when no one seems to
talk about anything else, especially on social media.

You nabbed the URL, not the direct JPG link, just btdubs.
I dunno what I was expecting, but that wasn't exactly it. I
guess I kinda pegged you as more of a Victorian-based outfitter,
or like, steampunk or something. Eh, my brain is weird. That'd
be a cute mascot for here, although I assume that was the point?

[/quote] That we just it. It's older than I thought actually.
And I have made drawings with your description in mind
