Questions Upon the Wind
Hello there! Welcome to my Ask Me Anything thread! First, a little bit about myself!

I'm known as Ketsu (or sometimes as Ryuu) and I'm a fellow Pokemon fan. I'm a student and I am currently doing my Cambridge Advanced Levels (examinations in May 2016) in the fields of Physics, Chemistry and Math. I love programming and I'm trying to get into graphic design too. It's quite difficult to come up with things to say here >~<. I like soft foods more than hard foods and a good drink (non-alcoholic of course ;)) out does most things. Oh right, and I live in Sri Lanka, a small but rather mild-weathered island in the Indian Ocean. It's nice here, we have like the highest gravity in the world.


I hope that gives you enough information to get to know me a bit and if it doesn't, well, that's what this thread is for! Ask away!

I'll give you mad props for having such a nice flair to your opening post. I like your use of PC's BB codes. Anyway:

1) Situational:


- You are at home, relaxing and whatnot, and suddenly, a pink haired chick suddenly goes inside your room and looks at you with a sensual but predatory gaze. She appears to not be harmful, and she just wants to have some "fun" and give you a "really good time ;)". What would you do?

2) Should gamefreak make more anthropomorphic or humanoid pokemon?

3) Do you believe in ghosts, aliens, supernatural occurances, the Bermuda Triangle disappearances, and other unexplained occurences?

4) Video Game series and other games that you follow?

Thank you!

Okay, see, I absolutely love that video so if that were to happen I'd probably go along with it xD Also, she looks strong and I have the strength of a flower.

Absolutely! Gardevoir is my favourite Pokemon and the humanoid design is one of the reasons why. I love Pokemon that are sleek and graceful/fast over bulky ones so I support this.

Ghosts and supernatural stuff; no. Aliens; definitely. There's an equation that shows the probability of extraterrestrial life and when you consider how many planets are out there, the answer is practically 100%. It just makes sense that aliens exist. Besides, wouldn't the universe be more interesting if they did? :p

Sadly, I have little to no time for gaming but I recently played Undertale and loved it. I love to be competitive but have neither the time or resources for it so I'm a casual player xP

Thanks for all the questions, I never thought it would be this fun to answer!

hi Ketsu! i feel kind of silly for calling you Ryuu so much now, i thought that was more like an actual name, haha. anyway, questions!

1. Favourite Pokémon region?
2. Favourite Undertale character?
3. What is your dream career?
4. Who (or what kind of people) do you look up to?
5. Are you ever going to tell me what those usernames were for?

Heyo Nagini! You're actually one of the very few that call me Ryuu and it's actually growing on me so if you don't mind, I don't mind if you keep calling me Ryuu :p

1. This is a hard question for me but I have to say Unova. I think it's the prettiest region by far with Castelia City, Skyarrow Bridge, the underwater tunnel thing and so much more.

2. Papyrus for sure. He's the funniest character you meet (Papyrus > Sans and now I'll be killed in my sleep) and he's hard not to love. Especially when you date/hang out with him and realize how nice he actually is.

3. I'd like to be entertainer but a career and software and/or physics is alluring too. Maybe I'll travel the world making physics jokes?

4. I look up to people that can convince me to change. If someone can change me, for better or worse, chances are, I'll remember them for the rest of my life.

5. Yep, just not today ;) Besides, I'm preparing a fresh batch of names for you

Aw, that's really sweet of you! Thank you, it means a lot :D

It's been good, nothing to really complain about. Days are getting shorter and more stressful but today was okay :p I've heard tomorrow might be better though so I'm looking forward to that :)
---------------------------------
Thank you for the questions, keep 'em coming! :D

haha! perhaps i will keep calling you Ryuu then. which do you prefer anyway?
i did it initially because to me it makes more sense to call you Dragon/Ryuu than Blood/Ketsu(eki), hehe. but i could get used to either now really.

Papyrus is my favourite character too incidentally! he's just the most lovable character in the entire game, and every interaction with him is either hilarious or endearing or both, hehe. how much of Undertale have you completed? so i know whether or not i can direct you to the Undertale Fan Club yet

Do you have a 3DS? Which games do you normally play, if any? (also goes for non-3DS games if you don't have one!)

I live in GMT +5:30 so it's currently 10:11PM at the moment c: I think it's the same as yours!

Yes, I am! I'm currently mentoring a wonderful new member, SugarCubez and they've been a great mentee (not entirely sure if this word is a word yet :P)!

I don't really have a preference over either but I'm used to seeing you calling me Ryuu so that's what I prefer to be called by you xD I started using the name with "dragon" in mind but most sites had the name in use so I just sort of rolled with it xP

Papyrus is amazing. I was thinking of going with a Papyrus theme in here xD I'm doing my pacifist run now but I'm keeping it on hold due to exams and other stress in life :p

3DS-es are a sore subject for me xD Mine recently broke beyond repair when someone that I used to[/s] know dropped it. You know how you see accidents in slow motion? I did, it was glorious yet horrifying :p As for other games, I've only played Undertale this entire month xD

Ketsu!

- Do you have a vision of what you want to do after you finish your studies?

- When it comes to optics, do you prefer working with converging or diverging lenses? (ie. diagrams, labs)

- Algebraic Equations or Data Analysis?

I want to live in a city where a new story is found every day. I want to live in a way such that I have tons of stories to tell at parties. So, I'm going to Japan.

Tough question, really xD I dislike optics in general but I'd have to say diverging.

Definitely algebraic equations. Data analysis is rather boring compared to the thrill of solving equations xD

Well I love math but sometimes it is hard to me. So do you like Mathematics?

You do Crazy Chemistry experiments? ( Making awesome soap -> I used curry leaves and it is curry soap l o l )

Physics is filled with " wow " equations. Do you usually apply it in real life?

I love mathematics, it's really fun!

Well, I don't make soap but I do carry out experiments for qualitative/quantitative analysis on a regular basis and that's always fun xD Once I accidentally spilled concentrated H2SO4(aq) on my hand and it burned pretty badly. The "scar" is all but gone now but it's a nice memory to have :P

I do find myself applying physics in real life but I rarely use any equations. Most equations aren't accurate enough for real life, there are just too many assumptions involved in equations :P

1) Among these lovely group of ladies, who would you want to take on a valentines date for next year? They look like they are in their cosplay costumes, OR THEY DO THEY?
Spoiler:


Now choose carefully before you read the next spoiler:

Spoiler:
These 6 lovely ladies are Monster Musumes or Monster Girls.
Red haired girl in the center is Miia. A Lamia or a Part Human x Snake creature.
Blue haired girl is Papi, a Harpy.
Blonde Girl with the big bust is Centorea, a female Centaur
Green "haired" girl on the lower left is Suu, a slime girl
Pink haired girl on the lower right Mero, a Mermaid
Purple haired girl on the upper left Rachnera, an Arachne (half human half spider)


2) If Monster Girls are real and it has become socially acceptable in normal human society to live and interact among them, are you willing to do so?

3) Are you willing to work on a Biotech Engineering Team to recreate cute monster girls?

4) If you had a team of Monster Musumes and Female Humanoid Pokeymanz, would you feel like a total man of power with the power to take over the Russian mafia, the chinese illuminati, the italian mob, and even Mexican drug cartels?

I chose the pink haired girl who is the mermaid :D

I would do it even if it weren't "socially acceptable" but I would definitely prefer it, yep ;)

I'd rather not have anything to do with biology. I quite dislike the subject so, no :P

It sounds like you're describing my life Probably not, they've got guns. Like, real actual bang bang guns that hurt a lot. Still sounds epic though :)

What inspired you to try and get into Graphic Design?

And what do you like the most about programming? Is there anything particular that you like to program?

Do you like living in Sri Lanka? Aside from Japan would you like to travel to anywhere else?

Well, I should probably remove that from my profile since it's sort of dying out and I'm only interested in CSS. I guess what drew me to it was how you could create something amazing that you and other people love to look at.

The logic. Any program that requires a little bit of logic to create is something I'd have fun creating and that's the part I love most about programming, the fun of logic.

You know, it's not bad. It's certainly not the best and I'm planning on leaving as soon as I can but I think I'll miss it when I do xD I'd like to go to Europe. They have everything there from cities to lakes to mountains to valleys. Besides, the existence of the EU makes it easy to travel inside all of Europe so that's a big plus too!

If you mean romantically, it depends on how "monster" they are. Mermaids and the like are perfectly fine but arachnids, slimes and stuff are certainly not xD I'm sure they're still perfectly nice people so I might befriend them c:

I absolutely love all the mystic types. Dragon, Fairy, Ghost, Physic and Dark are all equally awesome!

I like music that can take you on a journey in your mind. I'm addicted to Panda Eyes (sorry I can't link it to the songs, I'm on my phone) at the moment xD

[omg]Shots fired[/omg] much? Why you no likey Arachnids, slimes, harpies, centaurs, and lamias?

The thing with Mermaids though, they have some nice strengths. Mermaids are aquatic and amphibious, have high amounts of Water (Duuuh) and Cold(Ice) Resistance but not at freezing point, and are obviously expert swimmers. Mermaids are also expert herbalists especially with the use of water, aka the universal solvent and probably the most essential component of any medicine so you're kinda in the right track there ;). However mermaids have many weaknesses as well such as the constant need of moisture since Mermaids are still fishlike in nature (dem gills), the inability to walk on ground (goodluck walking around with one ;) ) and the need to be formal all the time in a world of slangwords and the overuse of SWAG and YOLO in the everyday language of the common pleabs. (and people outside Pokecommunity = Shotsfired)

Follow up to my previous question:
1) Among the monster girls, why did you pick a mermaid over a Lamia (Human x Snake. Super passionate and loving but super possessive), a Harpy (ditsy and absent minded but generally good natured, nimble and agile), a Centaur (physically imposing, honorable, chivalrous, but also easily embarrassed coming from a proud heritage), a slime girl (malleable if you know what i mean ;), and very adaptable to constantly changing conditions but like slime, very childlike), and an arachnid (Domineering, Straightforward, Spider Sense, wall crawling, also BDSM experts - dem webs)

2) You said something about liking a certain MV in my first question towards you (Pink haired lady (Fallen Hana) about to either maul you to pieces or give you the greatest eternity of your life). Was it something called ME!ME!ME by Teddyloid feat. DAOKO :))))?

3) Do you think that we should experience more DARK AND EDGY movies and anime? Like MOAR EDGE. MOAR BLOOD, GUTS, GUNFIRE, CRUELTY, DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE, VIOLENCE, OVER THE TOP GORE, Darker and Blacker humor, more graphic, frightening and unsettling imagery and the like as parts of guilty pleasure?

I'm pretty much attacking the whole dumming down of violence and EDGE in most modern action movies these days. I miss the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s where we had movies with limbs flying out of characters, heads being blown off, people being sliced in half, bad guys being dismembered and disemboweled, closeups of faces melting in Hydrochloric acid and the like in which made for some really effective storytelling and dark, edgy, and unsettling imagery in action films when done properly. Nowadays, we seem to get movies where even a short jab or a fingerpoke was enough to kill a really evil and villainous bad guy(s) that we wish deliver the justice that he(they) deserve.

We did get these things in anime though (Ninja Scroll, Blood, Hellsing, Berserk, Hokuto No Ken, Higurashi, The original Ghost in the Shell, Akira) but even in more recent animes we don't get as much EDGE as we used to get. Most of the time its just ketchup spills of blood from a sword cut these days.

The thing with Mermaids though, they have some nice strengths. Mermaids are aquatic and amphibious, have high amounts of Water (Duuuh) and Cold(Ice) Resistance but not at freezing point, and are obviously expert swimmers. Mermaids are also expert herbalists especially with the use of water, aka the universal solvent and probably the most essential component of any medicine so you're kinda in the right track there ;). However mermaids have many weaknesses as well such as the constant need of moisture since Mermaids are still fishlike in nature (dem gills), the inability to walk on ground (goodluck walking around with one ;) ) and the need to be formal all the time in a world of slangwords and the overuse of SWAG and YOLO in the everyday language of the common pleabs. (and people outside Pokecommunity = Shotsfired)

Follow up to my previous question:
1) Among the monster girls, why did you pick a mermaid over a Lamia (Human x Snake. Super passionate and loving but super possessive), a Harpy (ditsy and absent minded but generally good natured, nimble and agile), a Centaur (physically imposing, honorable, chivalrous, but also easily embarrassed coming from a proud heritage), a slime girl (malleable if you know what i mean ;), and very adaptable to constantly changing conditions but like slime, very childlike), and an arachnid (Domineering, Straightforward, Spider Sense, wall crawling, also BDSM experts - dem webs)

2) You said something about liking a certain MV in my first question towards you (Pink haired lady (Fallen Hana) about to either maul you to pieces or give you the greatest eternity of your life). Was it something called ME!ME!ME by Teddyloid feat. DAOKO :))))?

3) Do you think that we should experience more DARK AND EDGY movies and anime? Like MOAR EDGE. MOAR BLOOD, GUTS, GUNFIRE, CRUELTY, DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE, VIOLENCE, OVER THE TOP GORE, Darker and Blacker humor, more graphic, frightening and unsettling imagery and the like as parts of guilty pleasure?

I'm pretty much attacking the whole dumming down of violence and EDGE in most modern action movies these days. I miss the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s where we had movies with limbs flying out of characters, heads being blown off, people being sliced in half, bad guys being dismembered and disemboweled, closeups of faces melting in Hydrochloric acid and the like in which made for some really effective storytelling and dark, edgy, and unsettling imagery in action films when done properly. Nowadays, we seem to get movies where even a short jab or a fingerpoke was enough to kill a really evil and villainous bad guy(s) that we wish deliver the justice that he(they) deserve.

We did get these things in anime though (Ninja Scroll, Blood, Hellsing, Berserk, Hokuto No Ken, Higurashi, The original Ghost in the Shell, Akira) but even in more recent animes we don't get as much EDGE as we used to get. Most of the time its just ketchup spills of blood from a sword cut these days.

Shh, mermaids are awesome c: I don't use many slang words and I don't have much swag. I also don't like walking. I wonder if mermaids are available at the local pet store, they sound fun!

I don't want to *ahem* with a snake, a horse, a blob or spider. I mean, mermaids are still fish but they're hot fish. Plus I like fish c:

Wait, is there more to that video than the song? o: Tell me, I must know!

Well, movies in the 80s made little sense sometimes but I do enjoy the gore! Elfen lied was an absolutely amazing anime and I've re-watched it too many times to count I swear it's for the story not the nudity ._. That said, come on, hydrochloric acid? Real men use floroantimonic acid c:
