Explanations:

Hetalia: I'm still pretty new to the Hetalia fandom but already I'm in love with it . I'm an otaku and I love history and I think Hetalia is a great combonation of the two. I also love how it's really about acceptance and loving and/or respecting each other. Arthur (England) and Alfred (America) may not always get along but they do respect each other, which is more than I can say for today's world and society. Plus I love Matthew (Canada)

J.K. Rowling: I'm a bookworm. I love books and the Harry Potter Series was the first book series I fell in love with. I love it because it's teaches important values like good over evil, love, friendship etc. It's because of J.K. Rowling I want to be a writer and you have to thank if you like my writing. And that 'magic and witchcraft is evil' stuff is all b.s.

Jordylovesdragons: ~jordylovesdragons is another person you should thank if you like my writing. I wasn't sure how to write a good self-insert story but after I read her stories I just took inspiration from her. She's a great writer and you should check out her stories. If you don't mind mature stuff

Oscar Wilde: Right now I'm reading Oscar Wilde's Greatest Works Vol. 3 Poems and Essays and I think he's an amazing writer. And although I haven't read The Picture of Dorian Grey yet, I have heard a lot about it and I get the feeling that Oscar Wilde is trying to teach a moral lesson in that book. When I do find the book and read it I'll dedicate a journal entry to it. Because I have no life and nothing better to do

The Sunflowers: Ivan (Russia) isn't the only person who loves sunflowers. I love them because to me they represent light (obviously) and beauty (because I think they're beautiful) and Van Gogh's painting takes my breath away everytime I see it. I need to get a poster of that painting for my room

Wolves: I have been in love with wolves for as long as I can remember. I love them because to me, they're a better version of us humans. While other people see scary and ruthless monsters, I see beautiful and majestic creatures trying to live and feed their families. They're a lot like us, and we can learn a lot from them. Is not a cat person

Tolstoy: Leo Tolstoy is another one of my favourite writers. After reading Anna Karenina I look at romance novels a whole new way and it's really affected how a write romance and love stories. Trust me, Tolstoy is a good writer and isn't all hype. Needs to finish War And Peace

My Dad: I admit it, I'm a Daddy's girl. My dad is everything to me. I trust him more than anyone else in this world and I know he'll always be there for me. I love him and I don't what I'd do if he died. Sappy explanation is sappy

Modern Family: I love Modern Family, not just because it's funny, but also because it teaches you about how different families are and how to deal with your own. TEAM CAM!

Dr House: House M.D. is one of my favourite t.v. shows and the reason I love Dr House is because I think he's a great role modle. Sure, he might be and addict and a bit of a jerk, but he really cares about Wilson. He showed that when one of Wilson's exes showed up and House got really protective of Wilson. And there were plenty of opportunites for him to have Cuddy and take her away from Douglas (I think that's his name ) but he didn't, he may have hit on her, but he knew she was happy and he didn't want to get in the way of that. He really is great. Needs to watch House more

Asia: I don't love Asia just because I'm otaku but also because I think it's an amazing place. There are so many different countries and cultures it really is amazing and I would to go there.

Europe: Like Asia, I love Europe because it has so many countries and different cultures and it's history is so rich and varied from place to place. It's another place I would love to vist.

History: I love history. I love how rich and varied it is. And I love how if some event didn't take place or if something different happened, like say the French Revolution never took place, then the world today would be completely different. I take a lot of inspiration from history for my stories and historical figures for my characters.

P!nk: P!nk is one of my favourite singers and her song F***ing Perfect is a huge inspiration for me because it really helps me when I feel completely worthless and depressed.

Fruits Basket: Fruits Basket is an anime that I absolutely love because I love how the main lesson in the anime and the manga is to be kind and accepting of other people. And Momiji's cuteness didn't hurt either

Magic: My love for magic is one of the big reasons I love Harry Potter. I'm one of those people who believes in magic and the impossible no matter what other people say. I love thinking that there are somethings that just can't be explained except by magic or something like that.

Alice in Wonderland: I haven't read the book yet, but I have seen the animated movie and the new one and I still love it. I love how complete nonsense goes on and no one bats an eyelid. Wonderland is my kind of place.

Naruto: Naruto was the very first anime I fell in love with. This is because the main theme/idea/lesson is never giving up on your dreams, believing in yourself and accepting people for who they are. It broke my heart when I saw how upset Naruto was when he lost Sasuke. And it's hard for anything, especially, anime to break my heart.

Glee: Again, like Fruits Basket and Naruto, I love Glee because it's about accepting who you are and being proud of being different. I also love the covers and performances they do.

Music in General: Music is a huge inspiration for me. I get tons of ideas for stories and/or characters just by listening to one song. I can't live without music, it's one of those vital things I need to properly live.

Wings/Flying: I don't know why but flying and wings are two things that have always intersted me. I like the idea of just opening up a pair of wings and flying away to be by yourself and think. I would love to be able to do that.

X-Men: I love X-Men because, yep you gussed it, it's about accepting who you are and who other people are. But I also love how, despite their differences, they all work together as a team for the greater good. And the fact they all do that for people who both hate and fear them really inspires me. I Wolverine

Animated Disney Movies: Whenver I see a Disney movie that isn't animated and isn't very good it really makes me upset because the old animated movies were really good and I don't understand why they had to change. I feel old now

Religion: I don't have/belong to any particular religion, I have gone from one religion to another and right now I don't have/belong to any religion in particular, but I love how all religions are so different and yet preach the same message; to love and respect each other.

Myths/Legends/Superstisions: I love olde stories and I draw a lot of inspiration for stories and characters from them. I especially love Greek, Egyptian and Norse mythology.

Lord of the Rings: I love Lord of the Rings because it's basically a legend/myth story and I love how different the characters are. And I love the symbolism with the One Ring and how Tolkein spent basically his whole life writing Lord of the Rings.

Quotes: I love inspirational quotes, www.brainyquote.com is one of my favourite websites and I draw a lot of inspiration for stories from quotes by people I really like and admire.

Acting/The Theater: I have just started acting pretty recently but I love it noentheless. I love how you can pretened to be someone else and be completely different and over-the-top and not be thought 'weird'. I really feel at home at the theater.

My Life/Everything I've Been Through: I've been through a lot during my life and that really affects my writing. The way my characters react to things is usuallt based off what I've done, both good and bad.

Art: Although most people might not call me an artist because all I do is write, fill out memes and use bases, I think art is all about self-expression and just doing your own 'thing'. That's why I love it and I love going to art galleries and looking at art too.

Thank you for viewing and reading my long explanations.
