Random Nonsense #23

     I think Tokyo Ghoul is starting to become one of those mainstream anime that newcomers to the Anime universe tend to invoke as their rite of passage. That and Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan, as most Westerners call it). It's as if the phrase "I've watched Tokyo Ghoul/SnK" proves that you are an ardent fan of Anime. Well, it's a bloody insult to someone like me, who has been watching Anime ever since the start of Primary School and been through so many genres that sometimes I can't keep track of what I've finished.

      I've read psychological horror, like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When the Cicadas Cry) and Uzumaki (Spiral), that made me sleep with the lights on for 2 whole months. I've read light-hearted and ridiculous childish shows, like Yumeiro Patissiere and all three seasons of Shugo Chara, that made me embarrassed for even being slightly entertained...and having a crush on the Tsundere boy character (INTJs again, I'm sorry). And then there's the Romances, comedic like Ouran High School Host Club (OHSHC), My Little Monster and Kaichou wa Maid-sama, then very touching ones like Angel Beats and Anohana. Of course, what I've watched from the start until now, the long-lasting series like Naruto and Bleach, the former of which I grew up with.

The Psychological Horror Genre (skip this if you have a weak heart)
     I prefer these in manga form, since the colour and bad art can take away from the atmosphere. These pictures still scare the shit out of me, especially since my kind of good memory makes me remember exactly what the scenes are.
a) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When Cicadas Cry)

b) Uzumaki (Spiral)

Light-Hearted Childish Anime
     I don't even know why I am entertained by these kinds of Anime. Well, they are perfect for watching after reading a horror manga because all you want to do at that point is to curl up in bed with all the lights on and watch cute stuff. I don't know what it is about Japanese horror. I have become immune to jump scares in that I recover in less than 5 seconds, but the subtle horror of the Japanese variant haunts me for months. Also, I like Tsukiyomi Ikuto from Shugo Chara, though even as a kid I thought it was very freaky how he was way too skinny. Seems like I had an appreciation for muscles even as a kid...how shallow of me.
a) Yumeiro Patissiere

b) Shugo Chara

Comedic Romances
     Like the above, I watch these when I just need something to feel a shallow kind of happiness. I think this is the option I go with when I don't want to feel sheepishly guilty about watching a show way below my age group. Also, it's romance and I'm a girl. As much as I don't behave like one most of the times and have more shared interests with guys than with girls, one shared interest I don't have is that...well...I am undoubtedly straight and I like romance, at times. Also, these kind of gentlemenly guys who are cheeky and kind...and secretly very physically attractive (the unrealistic abs and such), are very unrealistic for me so...it's a kind of fantasy maybe?
a) Ouran High School Host Club

      It's a hard choice for me to pick between Kyouya Ootori and Hikaru Hitachiin. Usually people can't choose between the Hitachiin twins, but for me, I like the older Hikaru more. If you think the two of them are too similar, then you haven't watched the show to its completion. They have quite the contrasting personality. As for Kyouya and Hikaru, it's not that I prefer one over the other. I think I like Kyouya more as an Anime character, that kind of cool and aloof guy who is rather nerdy and smartassed. But if I have to picture them in reality, then I think I prefer Hikaru...he's quite an ENTP.

b) My Little Monster

     I think I've voiced my opinion on Yoshida Haru vs Yoshida Yuuzan before. Usually I like the younger brothers of brother pairs in Anime, but I guess Yuuzan is an exception. I mean take a look at Ao no Exorcist, I like Yukio more than Rin. Look at Naruto, I like Sasuke more than Itachi (here comes the flood of hate). Twins are an exception, as in the previous anime. But I like Yuuzan more...because he is scarily, and suspiciously, optimistic about everything. He also seems to be twisted in his own way and has hidden motives. Makes for a more interesting character, don't you think?

c) Kaichou wa Maid-sama

     Everyone loves Takumi Usui, yes, yes. But have you ever thought about it...how much Igarashi Tora reminds you of Draco flipping Malfoy? Arrogant, check. Rich, check. Prestigious family, check. Blonde, almost platinum-blonde, check. Aristocratic, yet infuriatingly haughty handsome, check. Yeah, Igarashi Tora is Draco Malfoy. And you know what. Draco Malfoy is probably the only fictional character who is:
1. My most hated character personality-wise, but because he is so damn attractive, my shallow side actually wins over and I totally still have my crush intact from like...the first movie, when he was a kid and I was a kid.
2. I actually ship enthusiastically (Draco x Hermione, Dramione for short) with another character, but still won't lay my flipping hands off. Like I ship Cherik, and I like Charles, but I'll abandon him for the ship. I won't do that for Draco Malfoy.
     So I'll come down as the most shallow girls in the history of shallow because we Harry Potter fans all know what a cowardly piece of shit Draco Malfoy is and how over the clouds his arrogance is. But I can't help feeling sympathy for his situation and wanting to believe that he can be a better person. That or he is absolutely charming and looks like a bloody prince. Platinum blonde hair and silver-gray eyes? How the hell do you even get that among these...mudbloods? I cant say that, by the way, I'm like 45% Slytherin...55% Ravenclaw.

Touching Romances
     It's like I love torturing myself. I cry very easily when I am able to feel what the characters feel. But make no mistake, I don't actually approve of certain things and feel disgusted by the way some guys in the anime treat girls like they are fragile...I'll show you fragile when I snap your leg in half. I can just feel the emotion of the character...through the screen.
a) Angel Beats

     Some people would think I like Hideki Hinata from the number of times I cried at the scene where he confessed to Yui. Actually, I cry every single time. It's like age doesn't harden me up or something. But no, I don't like him, at all. Just because he becomes a meaningful character once throughout the show doesn't clear up his name as the main comedic character. Yeah, screw comedic characters, unless they've got a really deep side like the Hitachiin twins. I like Yurippe. Many reasons for that, but yes, a female character. Woohoo.

b) Ano Hana

     These two...Tsuruko and Yukiatsu...they come as a pair. I like them as a pair. I don't care what anyone says. If they disprove of this pairing, or ship Yukiatsu with Menma, I will fight the shit out of that person. I will flay their remains over the world and tear them into pieces. If these two aren't a pair after the amount of shit Tsuruko has to put up with, then I don't know...Tsuruko must be a bloody idiot. Usually, in animes, if a character sticks with another character for that long because she has romantic feelings for him, they will bloody end up together. Look at Naruto and Hinata. She stuck with him for like...I don't know...and they worked out. I would call these two bloody idiots, because no one in reality would even do that unless they have no life and no aspirations, but its an anime.

My Nostalgic Feels - Popular Shounen Anime
     Ah yes, these anime that I grew up with. I grew up with the Harry Potter characters and at the same time, the Naruto characters. The same love I have for Harry Potter, knowing all the names of the spells, even the different subjects taken at Hogwarts, having my own house (it used to be Slytherin, now I'm in Ravenclaw) and my own wand. That kind of love is also the love I have for the Naruto series and what it has taught me. Naruto and Sasuke in particular. Well...Bleach is nostalgic too, but you don't actually grow up with the characters.
a) Naruto

     Yes, I am a scum. I like Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and now I like the biggest scum in Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke. I've explained why even after the kind of turn his personality took, I still persist in liking him. It's not that his personality changed, per se, he is still the cold Tsundere INTJ Sasuke, it's just the "deepening of an existing problem", which seems to be something I apply to INTJs a lot. Anyway, Sasuke...what can I say? I tried to climb a bloody tree like him, by concentrating chakra on the bottom of my feet. But just like how I'm actually a filthy mudblood, I also have no ninja skills. I fell on my bloody back. I tried to do the Goukakyou no Jutsu, aka Great Fireball Jutsu, and Chidori, but I also failed. Sigh, I wanted to learn Sasuke's jutsus man!

b) Bleach

     Do you not see the pattern here? Draco Malfoy. Igarashi Tora. Uchiha Sasuke. Kuchiki Byakuya. Prestigious family, rich, arrogant, regarded within their shows as good-looking. Yeah, I'm shallow as hell...or I just tend to like INTJs in shows. Anyway, Kuchiki Byakuya, the frigging guy who makes pink look like that manliest colour just by the "I can't find a fuck to give" face he has while using his bankai. And he cuts people into a little pieces as they explode in blood with those pink petals. Yup, very lethal and manly. Also, Byakuya as a kid is bloody adorable. What's with these snobby, arrogant fucks who look like the cutest things when they were kids? Tell me you didn't have a bloody crush on the little arrogant git that was Draco Malfoy back when you were like 7 or 8. I dare you. You had a crush on the little blonde, admit it. On second thought, don't. I go all Yandere when fangirling.

     It's a bloody insult, is what it is, when people watch just one anime and then declare themselves an Anime fan. Also, it doesn't help that half the people who watch Tokyo Ghoul have only watched the Anime, when the Manga is much longer and complicated. The Anime was good, but it lacked a lot of the things the Manga had and...I don't know why they ended it the way they did. I guess I shouldn't be complaining. I was defending the Harry Potter movies and LOTR movies despite having read the books. They weren't exactly loyal to the books...might I remind everyone how they totally condensed a whole chapter of Snape's memories into 30 seconds? And yes, I read almost all the Harry Potter books before the movies came out. I don't even understand why my parents excuse my sister for not being able to read them as a 9-year old when I read them as a 7-year old having come from China.

     Anyway, that's not the point. I'm just rather annoyed, I suppose, that the deeper meaning of certain shows is lost on some people. Tokyo Ghoul is very thought-provoking and does it not make you wonder - what would you have done in Kaneki's situation? Would you have continued to remain "kind", yet naively hurting everyone? Or would you have chosen to harden up and learn to be selfish, with the knowledge that to preserve some, you had to give up others?

     The opening of Tokyo Ghoul, Unravel, is a beautiful song that reflects Kaneki's own doubts. The fact that within the song, he keeps repeating lines that distinctly contradict - "I'm breakable, unbreakable", etc - shows that sort of uncertainty and the entire moral subjectivity of his actions. But I think the lines that appeal to me and I am able to relate to the most is "I've completely changed; I can't change back" followed by a few lines later "Think back on who I was" and "So please just remember me." You know that Kaneki doesn't like what he has to become, in order to protect what is precious to him, and the maturity of it all - that he has decided to pull through and change himself - makes him a rather likeable character.

     Anyway, here is the entire kanji lyrics and translated lyrics, accompanied by the fight between Kaneki and Jason, aka the one who tortured him to the point of change.

Kanji Lyrics:
教えて　教えてよ　その仕組みを
僕の中に誰がいるの？
壊れた　壊れたよこの世界で
君が笑う何も見えずに

壊れた僕なんてさ　息を止めて
解けないもう　解けないよ　真実さえ freeze
壊せる　壊せない　狂える　 狂えない
あなたを見つけて

揺れた　歪んだ世界にだんだん僕は　透き通って見えなくなって
見つけないで僕のことを　見つめないで
誰かが描いた世界の中で　あなたを傷つけたくはないよ
覚えていて僕のことを　鮮やかなまま

無限に広がる孤独がくるまる
無邪気に笑った記憶が刺さって
動けない　解けない
動けない　解けない
動けない　動けないよ
Unravelling the world

変わってしまった　変えられなかった
二つがくるまる　二人が滅びる
壊せる　壊せない　狂える　狂えない
あなたを汚せないよ

揺れた　歪んだ世界にだんだん僕は　透き通って見えなくなって
見つけないで僕のことを　見つめないで
誰かが仕組んだ孤独な罠に　未来が解けてしまう前に
覚え出して僕のことを　鮮やかなまま

忘れないで　忘れないで
忘れないで　忘れないで

変わってしまった　ことに paralyse
変えられない　ことだらけの paradise
覚えていて僕のことを

教えて　教えて　僕の中に誰がいるの？

Translated Lyrics:
Tell me, tell me, how it works
Just who lies within me?
I'm broken, broken in the midst of this world
But you're smiling, blind to it all

I'm broken anyway, so I halt my breath
Not even the truth can unravel, no not even the truth. Even reality freezes.
I'm breakable, unbreakable; going insane, unable to lose my mind
I've found you

I'm standing here in a twisted, shaking world. I'm empty and cannot be seen.
Please don't find me...don't look at me.
In this world that someone else imagined, I just don't want to hurt you.
So please remember me - my full, vivid self.

Entangled in the loneliness that fans out endlessly
Strung by the memory of smiling so innocently
I can't move, I can't unravel
I can't move, I can't unravel
I can't move, I can't move
Unravelling the world

I've completely changed; I can't change back
The two entwine; the couple disintegrates
I'm breakable, unbreakable; going insane, unable to lose my mind
I won't defile you

I'm standing here in a twisted, shaking world. I'm empty and cannot be seen.
Please don't find me...don't look at me
Before the future comes completely undone, caught in a pit of solitude set for me
Think back on who I was - my full, vivid self

Don't forget me. Don't forget me.
Don't forget me. Don't forget me.

The change has made me paralysed
In an immutable object paradise
So please just remember me

Tell me, tell me, is there someone inside of me?

     I know this is the worst segue ever, but now for some MBTI...as I scroll through Tumblr...on my phone.

5 Stages of INFJ Stress Levels
Level 1: Ruffled
    I lose my train of though. My words come out huffy and bumbled. I get a little hot and mad that I'm sounding semi-incoherent. My face may flush.

Level 2: Frazzled
     My desk is messy. Or maybe it's my car. Or, my closet. Some place in my bedroom. My bed is unmade. I have this nagging feeling that something is undone or unchecked. I'm slightly less patient than normal and slightly sharper with my words. My hair is somewhat out of place. I'm hurrying a little bit more than usual.

Level 3: Stressed
     I'm behind on my chores. Behind on my paperwork. Behind on everything. I've got headaches, or back pain. My stress is internalised and it's manifesting physically. I'm tired. There's no hiding my shortness of temper now. I'm cross and it shows.

Level 4: Really Stressed
     I'm exhausted. I'm in bed. I'm overtly and overly sensitive. I'm either not talking to you, crying and immobile or I'm tearing you to shreds with my unguarded, obviously angry words. I'm putting off everything I need to do, in denial of the impending due date. In exchange, I'm neat-freak-cleaning at 2am, organising shoes and doing all the little things I've been putting off for months. I'm in super "DON'T TOUCH THAT" mode. Don't touch that. Don't touch me. Don't look at me. Don't breathe too loudly. Why are you breathing the same air as I am? GO. A.WAY.

Level 5: My Whole World is Ending
     Total internal/external destruction. My guard is down. My hair is down. My altruistic nature has calloused and my heart is seared. My intensity has become my propensity and my once empathetic spirit has ceased to exist. At this point, I honestly couldn't care less. I'm indulging in every immoral pleasure that this world has to offer, consequences be damned and it makes me sick to my stomach. This INFJ will combust in 5...4...3...2...And the world is worse off for it.

MBTI Conversation Starter Pack
ISFJ: "How was your day?"
*Frowns* *Irritated glare* "Okay, I guess. And I suppose I should ask "How's yours?""*Rolls eyes*

ISTP: "Sup. Good."
*Smirks* "Good. Sup." I like this person. Cool, laid-back, not pretentiously polite.

INFJ: "How are you?" *stares into your soul as they already know the answer*
Yeah, I suppose I rarely ask such questions while expecting an answer. I do so for a reaction, or to keep to social norms.

ENFJ: "I saw you earlier but i was on my way to the Women's Advocate lunch. Omigosh there was this person...People say they're feminist but then they do X, it's so disgustingly hypocritical! ...How have you been!"
*Weird stare* Did I ask this bloody bloke to narrate his day to me? Do I look like I care? ...Hypocritical...everyone is hypocritical e.g. you saying that someone else is hypocritical. *Forced smile* "I'm great."

ESFJ: *To an introvert* "Come on! You have to talk to me! How's school going?!"
"Tch...can you not be so loud and excited? It's okay." *Sideways stare as I walk away*

ESFP: "Hi! *starts singing badly and loudly to Taylor Swift* *runs into a wall for comedic effect*
*Pretends that I didn't notice ESFP's presence and walks away as fast as possible*

ISTJ: *to ESFP* "What are you doing?"
"Good question. I have no idea." *Nods and walks away*

ENFP: "Hey! *executes secret handshake with completely stranger*"
*Resists the urge to smirk in amusement* Loud, but rather adorable in that weird way...rather like an overly excited dog.

INTJ: *Is getting odd looks from doing ENFP's handshake so well* "What...?"
"Nobody expects us to be friends with an ENFP is "what", except I think mine is more believable." *Shrugs* "See you around, bro."

ISFP: *Is oblivious to the awkwardness* "Hey, we should have a secret handshake! Ready?"
*Hisses* "Hey, drop it. Don't patronise INTJ anymore. He's already being judged!"

ESTJ: "Hi! Did you get that job you applied for?"
"Yes. Obviously."

ENTJ: "Yes, but I turned it down because I got an interview for presidency."
*Snorts* "Show off." *Secretly very impressed*

INTP: "Lol. There was this Obama thing on the internet..."
*Stops in interest* ....... "Oh, you mean ___. I saw that already." *Loses interest and leaves*

INFP: "Would you like to hear this poem about ___?"
"......Hello to you too. Sure, if you want to." Just because I don't want to deal with your depressed expression if I don't.

ENTP: "No, but..." *Going into another heated argument* *ISFJ leaves, crying*
Sighhh... "Dude, did you have to? By the way, if we follow the thinking that ____, you are actually wrong." *Glares* "Hmph, admit it, I win."

ESTP: *turns to ENTP* *Everyone else leaves, crying*
*Stares in amusement* The brainless jock vs the cheeky ass who won't stop arguing? Hmmmm~

MBTI and Knowledge for It's Own Sake
ESTP: Does it relate to what I'm currently doing? Is it about people or events?
Power is knowledge, my friend. It may not be related now, but it could be important in the future.

ESTJ: I know many extremely practical things.
Oh, would you like me to hire you then? *Smirks* Practical knowledge is better used for application.

ESFP: I like (or am bored) that *you* know these things.
And I suppose that's because you are dumb as hell and have never thought about it? Yeah, though so.

ESFJ: Can I use it?
Again...why does practicality matter so much to Sensing types? I know it is what defines them, but see the link between theory and practice, for goodness sake!

ENTP: I am a sponge and I think deeply about everything I soak up.
And that is incredibly attractive in a person, I must admit. Someone who is able to converse with wit and intelligence about everything, with his own opinion. Again, I don't want to be given a link to a document...I know Google too, thanks.

ENTJ: I have to learn everything for my plan.
Then I'll learn everything to ruin it...if I don't already know.

ENFP: Learning, yay!
*Raises an eyebrow* Hmmm...you are interested? So, did you know that penicillin is made from fungi and that you can treat fungal infections with fungi antibiotics? And did you know about the Marshmallow Test? *Continues to no end*

ENFJ: Mad respect.
*Huffs* Of course.

ISTP: Educating yourself is good self-improvement.
I agree, but you don't seem to like some of my more theoretical knowledge though.

ISTJ: More things I know, more there is to know.
That's what's beautiful about knowledge. You continue growing infinitely.

ISFP: Knowledge and theory translated into artistic expression.
That's impressive. I respect people who can focus knowledge into one area of passion and develop a niche. I just tend to know a whole bunch of random stuff.

ISFJ: I value smarts in people, but I'd rather be practical.
But have you thought about how ___, maybe it's because ___ but that I read that ___ *Completely aware that the ISFJ is lost/does not care, but continues anyway*

INTP: The world fills me with wonder.
Me too, INTP, me too.

INTJ: I have a theory and an experiment to prove it.
Oh? Please tell. I would like to refine it by argument before you test it out.

INFP: Cool! i like absorbing new information, but I'm not devoted to uncovering it myself.
Really? Are you not curious about why ___ is ___? I read __, __ and __ about it, but I think it's more a combination of all that and it's really ___ but I can't exactly prove it.

INFJ: I have to learn a lot to back up the intuitive leaps I make.
And that is why I love my type. Intuitive with no logical backup pushes my curiosity to search for rationality.

NFs/NTs in the MBTI Community
ENFJ: On a therapeutic mission, answers EVERYTHING patiently.
You know what's wrong with even the most typical of ENFJs? They are too BORING. Patient? I love pushing people's limits and teasing them. These people will take my verbal beating, take it to heart and then not even give me a funny reaction. Fucking annoying.

INFJ: Cutest klutz with the weirdest posts. Learns code.
I do know HTML coding, from doing blogging. Also, define "weird". "weird" is something you don't understand, and thus it is knowledge. Bitch, I win.

ENFP: Ne-ing all over the place, multi-fandom expert
My go-to blogs for finding fan pictures then. Love you guys.

INFP: Klutzier than the INFJs, but in pastel colours, also: best replies
Klutzier than INFJs? That's like walking-into-walls-every-second kind of klutzy!

ENTJ: Types everything and everyone, has a clean template
*Raises hand guiltily* I tend to type people too, easier to get a vague understanding first.

INTJ: Trying to figure out the cognitive functions (surprise!)
*Fist bump* We should be best friends then! Did I mention I really do like the company of INTJs, the stereotypical ones?

ENTP: Random conversations with fellow ENTPs and ENFPs.
Awww...these people won't talk to us, sigh. I guess they rather instigate an argument in real life then. It's better since I'll get to see the look of defeat when I inevitably win.

INTP: Has no particular objective, but casually gathers tons of useless meme knowledge.
Memes are cool!

MBTI and Language
Prefers to know a lot of languages in a medium level: ESFJ, ENTP, ESFP, ISFP
That's really cool! I'm impressed by people who know a lot of languages, but it's not very practical to know a lot at a medium level, is it?

Prefers to know a few languages in a high level: ISFJ, INFP, ESTJ, INFJ, ENTJ
Yup! I would like to pick up German or something after As. Would really be cool, useful and fascinating to learn.

Prefers body language: ENFP, ESTP, ENFJ
....Back to the stone-age you go then...*sneers* ...uneducated cavemen.

Prefers communicating in binary system: INTP, ISTP, ISTJ, INTJ
That's pretty cool! I don't know anything about binary...maybe I should try a little.

Weekday Rants #15

     So I was going to take a break today, but I ended up doing about 2 sets of statistics paper... What a huge divergence from the patterns I used to go through before - "Oh no, I was going to study, but ended up playing all day." It's not like I don't play anymore. I still watch Markiplier's videos, because I find a lot of motivation to be productive from him. I'll spare everyone of my massive fangirling, so I'll stop right here about him, but let's just say that I don't think my admiration of him is wholly exaggerated. There is some truth to him being a very inspiring person.

     But I've decided to start taking a break now...at least until tomorrow morning, because hell, I screwed up my Math Paper 1, so I need to at least make up for it with Paper 2 now that I have 4 whole days to prepare for it. Not to mention that it is a statistics paper, which, in my opinion, was my weakness only because I completely did not revise for it the last time. In fact, any statistic topic requires clear theoretical understanding only and the solving part is up to the Graphic Calculator. And unlike a topic like Complex Numbers, which for the life of me, I still can't figure out the real-life application of it, Statistics is very real and should be much more logical.

     I think that after the A levels, I may abandon this blog. I mean, the entire existence of this blog represents something of the past and there is a desire in me to leave. I'm not deleting it; I find no reason to. I can always come back to it in the future, whether to see how much I have grown, or as a reminder of what kind of behaviour I should be avoiding. I'd probably start up another blog for more productive stuff, like my opinion on certain academic topics, or even fanfictions - although that one should be saved for fanfiction websites. No, I do not write smut because I find no pleasure in writing down certain fantasies I may have of popular figures. Instead, my fanfictions, which were quite popular before I abandoned writing them, revolve around an original character in a fixed fantasy universe, e.g. Elder Scrolls. It requires an extensive understanding of the lore, including things like the timeline and the development of separate races, but I find it quite a joy to be writing things like that.

     Well, the point is that, this may be a countdown to the last few posts I'll ever put on here. This blog has outlived its purpose, if its purpose was a well-founded one in the first place. I've also observed the pattern of views on my posts and the channel which they discover my blog through, so I think I'd be able to start and grow a better blog. After A levels, though. There's only 5 weeks left until the start of As and a little more than 2 months left before the end. If I can't even pull myself through that, then I should really not be getting into any job that require minimum commitment.

     Anyway, I'm going through a list of my favourite anime openings, for the older animes. No, not Tokyo Ghoul's Unravel. It was good, until everyone started getting on-board the "this song is amazing" train and completely undermining the value and meaning of the song with their absolute poor appreciation of the depth behind it. Unravel is a great song, and it reflects how disoriented and lost Kaneki feels and the kind of change he goes through. People who pay attention solely to the tune disgusts me...but that's because of how meaningful the song actually is. It is an insult, really.

     Here are the top 5 songs, in any case, in no particular order. I'll probably do some MBTI stuff after if there's still time before I go to bed. I'm going to start work at 8.30am everyday from now on after all.

1. FMA Brotherhood - Opening 3: Golden Time Lover

Translated English Lyrics:
I can't seem to concentrate, my body is still wandering
If I keep trembling, I'll lose my control and go slack
Neither the sun nor my luck are looking this way but
I whisper to myself that I just have to keep on going

The situation is bad but if i just run away it means I'm a coward
There's really no prospect, but I'll just have to clear it with guts
Find my target blindly while I restrain my impulses
What I need is excellent sake to bask in my pride of victory
Or maybe it's the troubled face after a defeat
But either way, the two together make a destiny I'd love to manipulate

A brilliant golden time, I'll grab it with these hands
A forced poker face and I'm ready to begin
Drag me into that world of illusion

A pressure game with no limits, I just slip through it
In order to jump over that halogen border line
How many? What's the price I need to pay?
Which is it that you'd rather not sacrifice?

2. FMA Brotherhood - Opening 5: Rain

Translated English Lyrics:
Time intrudes on the new morning
I finally found
The direction I face is not the future
I kept chasing after the past

Endless ringing
The merciless memories seem to have no intention of forgiving me
"It's about time"
Fumbling, my troubles spill down my tired cheeks

Will the rain ever stop, I wonder?
For a pretty long time now, it's been cold.
Why does the rain choose me?
I wonder if it's ok to let it cover me.

The rain keeps falling today
As well knowing no end.
While we quietly nestle together
Under the umbrella I hold.

3. Bleach - Opening 11: Anima Rossa (I like this only because Byakuya...)
Translated English Lyrics:
If I could only fly like the swallows in the sky
Shooting straight towards the blue ocean
My pride wouldn't have left me lost on this path
But still, I can't sprout wings from my back

My legs will have to stumble down a long, long road
But I'm a man, I've gotta keep pressing onward
I only know where I'm going because I've got you by my side
Like a light shining on my feet, serving as my guide

Is this love? Is that what I feel when we're together?
All I know is my body, my heart, suddenly can't bear to leave you
I'll be up in the sky
Until the end

4. Bleach - Opening 13: Ranbu no Melody (Melody of Wild Dance) (This one for the GinRan pairing)

Translated English Lyrics:
Quietly, quietly, cut the curtains down
Blue flames are born on the dawn awakening

We walked and hugged, embracing a weakness that knows of no defeat
Let's carve an era with fangs

Quiet, quiet, cut the curtains down
Blue flames are born on the dawn of awakening

Until that day when I met you, the one I want to protect
I'd rather take down my enemies immediately than go for a long fight

So loved, so loved, that I don't need anything else
I watched everything from here, I'll finish it all and lead you there

Just don't let go, this melody of the wild dance
It will never stop echoing

5. Naruto Shippuden - Opening 5: Hotaru no Hikari (Light of Fireflies)

Translated English Lyrics:
Sha la la, someday, I'll hold it in my hands
The evanescent light gently burns in my heart

I have the urge to see you
So naive, I want to cry
A firefly that jumps in the summer fire
Never makes it out

Without a word
You leave me with a kiss
You nodded even though you were hurt
My life was so unsettled, it makes me sad

Sha la la, someday, I'll hold it in my hands
The evanescent light gently burns in my heart

Sha la la, my love, you can see it too
A radiant moon gently shines upon tomorrow
Dazzling brightly, brightly

(Now, I must apologise for Sasuke fangirling. I can't help it. I've liked him ever since I started watching Naruto 10-11 years ago. The fanbase for Sasuke has shrunk considerably as he becomes madder and madder, but really, Sasuke will always be Sasuke to me. Thus, a compilation of Sasuke from his youth to the end of the series [excluding future arc and movie].)

     Sigh, Byakuya from Bleach, Sasuke from Naruto, Hibari from KHR, Arthur (England) from Hetalia, Near and Light from Death Note, Levi from SnK, etc etc, I seem to have the habit of liking the INTJ guy from every generic Shounen. They all have the cool, detached and aloof attitude, and are presented as prodigies no matter the anime. Sasuke, though, has his INTJ personality examined the furthest since his power-madness can be attributed to the stress function of Se...which is a shared inferior function with INFJs. I mean, hell, it's even clearer ever since my shift to liking Suzaku more than Lelouch. Suzaku's an INFJ and Lelouch is an INTJ. ...Hmmm...

     Anyway, that makes a great segue into the MBTI section.

1. Stoned MBTI Types

ISFJ: Walking quickly from one side to another without speaking or looking at anyone.

     *Steps in front of her* Hey...are you sure you're okay? *Knocks her out and brings her home*

ISFP: Thinks that world is even more beautiful than usual.

     "The light is so pretty...so round and brilliant!!!" .....that's the moon.

ISTJ: Feels that he/she is loosing control and really hates losing control so he/she just stays angry at a corner.

     Good, don't be a burden, thank you.

ISTP: He/she is probably so used to it that you couldn't even notice that he/she is stoned.

     Wow, nice~

INFP: Thinking about how strange life is and their own existence.

     Just don't...you know...do anything crazy?

INFJ: So busy thinking about how he/she is feeling.

     Ain't nobody got time for that!

INTJ: Drugs don't affect INTJs.

     OH. IS THAT SO? Let me try then!

INTP: Conspiracy theories.

     Fascinating. Please, tell me more.

ESFJ: Gets paranoid and thinks that everybody hates him/her.

     YES, YES. WE ALL LOVE YOU. NOW WOULD YOU SHUT UP?

ESFP: Laughs about everything, even about things that he/she doesn't understand.

     ...Oh. That's perfectly normal for ESFPs, isn't it? They are pretty damn stupid.

ESTJ: Feels that he/she is losing control and really hates losing control so he/she protest angrily to their friends.

     May I suggest joining your introverted cousins in the corner so you don't get in the way?

ESTP: Laughing and making jokes.

      Nice. The life of the party, I suppose, which is great fun.

ENFJ: Laughing at other's reactions.

     Okay. Literally nothing to say to that.

ENFP: Even more silly, crazy and spontaneous than usual.

     Definitely the person to go to to spice your day up even further.

ENTJ: Telling everyone else that he/she is the least stoned one.

     *Narrows eyes* Are you sure? 

ENTP: Speaking about crazy theories and laughing to their own jokes.

     *Puppy face* Can I join you? I realised that I do like ENTPs a lot. They are smart and are very witty...not too serious, not too dumb.

2. MBTI Types and Book Quotes

ISFP: No matter where you are, you're always a bit on your own, always an outsider.

ESFP: Life is a performance, I thought. Perhaps the word "illusion" would have meant more or less the same thing, but to me "performance" seemed closer to the truth.

ISTP: "Is it...dead?" asked Tom, his voice quivery with fright. "A town just ran over him", said Hester. "I shouldn't think he's very well..."

ESTP: My name is Celaena Sardothien. But is makes no difference if my name's Celarna or Lillian or bitch, because I'd still beat you, no matter what you call me.

ISTJ: In an age of rust, she comes up stainless steel.

ESTJ: What is they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong?

ISFJ: If you were to be lost in the river, Jonas, your memories would not be lost with you. Memories are forever.

ESFJ: People who are going to get along really well know it almost as soon as they meet. You spend a little while talking and everyone starts to feel this conviction, you're all equally sure you're at the beginning of something good. That's how it is when you meet people you're going to be with for a long time.

INTJ: No, I can survive well enough on my own - if given the proper reading material.

ENTJ: We gained control of many things. But we had to let go of others.

INFJ: They were satisfied with their lives which had none of the vibrance his own was taking on. And he was angry at himself, that he could not change that for them.

ENFJ: You can't save people from the world. There's nowhere else to take them.

INFP: Every time I look into his eyes, I just want to take the ice cream or whatever I've got in my hand and rub it into his face. That's how much I like him.

ENFP: Melanie thinks: when your dreams come true, your true has moved.

INTP: Libraries were dull of ideas - perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.

ENTP: I'm not married, he said softly, because I can't stomach the idea of marrying a woman inferior to me in mind and spirit. It would mean the death of my soul.

Random Nonsense #8: Avoiding Homework

     It always scares me more when a certain Math topic feels easier than other people say it is. There are classmates complaining about Complex Numbers, but it feels very straightforward and I fear that I don't actually understand the topic well enough to see it's difficulty. It is our last Math topic; it's not supposed to be that easy. But Complex Numbers just feels like normal Algebra to me, with an element of the Imaginary Number, i, and the ability to solve quadratic equations where discriminant is negative. The Argand diagram also feels quite easy...there's certainly something I'm not getting then...

     But, I'll do that later. There are only 5 questions in Assignment for Complex Numbers I and I'm sure I can finish it in less than 20 minutes. So, on with MBTI. With the small break I took, there are more posts up now.

1. The Most Attractive Thing About Each Types
ESFP - Your confidence
     You're sexy and you know it. It's not just that you have rock-hard abs (though you usually do), the ease with which you attract your gender of choice is apparent in everything you do. You are effortlessly personable and the confidence you have in your own people skills is irresistible.
     Is that a challenge? I'm very sure that I am completely immune to the charms of the ESFP because I will take one look, raise an eyebrow at the obvious peacock-like flaunting and roll my eyes. These are the kind of guys that hit on me at conventions and got the cold-shoulder because, if you want to persist, don't blame me if I damage your male ego beyond recognition.

INTJ - Your intelligence
     It's no secret that you usually have the highest IQ in the room. Everything that comes out of your mouth is an educated, thoroughly analysed opinion and it's difficult to champion your knowledge on almost any topic. You know your stuff inside out and backwards -- and it's hot.
     Okay, I will admit that I like intelligence almost as much as I hate flaunting. It's not that I discriminate against people of lower intelligence. Of course I can't, or I'll be discriminating over more than 95% of the population considering the tier level of my IQ (it's a joke, calm down). These people make for good conversation partners, but you probably can't rely on them.

INFJ - Your intensity
     There is nothing meek or helpless about you. You are a highly intelligent, highly perceptive individual who understands others on a deep level. This gives you the unique ability to connect quickly with new people. It's an intense experience for those on the receiving end of it and it makes everything about you seem hella sexy.
     Well, thank you. I must add though "ability to connect quickly with new people" should come with "when I want to" at the end. I know that with our perceptiveness and all, INFJs are excellent at flirting but really, what if I don't want to? I know I have many phone numbers that I obtained through very minimal flirting (because it's not difficult to see what people like), but often it is the people I don't flirt with that I'm more interested in. If I flirt, it means I just treat it as a game of manipulation, which is rather fun and serves to indulge my Se if I need to.

ENFP - Your enthusiasm
     You care more about your latest idea than most people care about everything else in their lives combined. And the energy's contagious. People admire the positive vibes you bring to the table and they want to share in whatever it is that you're so pumped on - hell, they want to be the next thing you're excited about.
     And then I become confused why INFJs and ENFPs are good matches. Enthusiasm is something that needs to be moderated because a person radiating such energy usually wears me down. INFJs are highly realistic, despite out lofty ideals, and are thus very pessimistic people when we realise our ideals cannot become reality. Then comes along the ENFP with his/her ridiculously oversized and unrealistic plans and it's like...dealing with a kid.

INFP - Your depth
     There is infinitely something more to you than meets the eye and your slightly mysterious vibe is compelling. People who meet you for the first time want to know more about what's going on inside your mind -- and it keeps them coming back for more.
     Certainly an interesting specimen to study then. Also female INFPs tend to give off a feeling of vulnerability and helplessness, perfect for the MBTIs out there who want to play hero. Certainly fun to stick around them just to watch the drama unfold and be amused at how I can just predict everything that will happen.

ENFJ - Your attentiveness
     You have this very specific ability to look someone in the eye and make them feel as though you're staring straight into their soul. The presence and introspection that you bring to the table is rare gem and it's unnervingly attractive.
     Or just plain unnerving. Really, I don't think INFJs, in particular, like the feeling of being looked through. That's our job. Also, I think it's fair to say at this point that the difference lies in how ENFJs externalise a lot of what INFJs internalise. For example, we are said to see through people too, but people don't feel like we are trying to see through them. Somehow, an INFJ's contemplative stare is not as unnerving or obvious, thus making us the flirting experts even though we aren't the extroverts. I think the saying that you feel daggers in your back comes from an INFJ under the scrutiny of an ENFJ...it's unnerving.

ENTP - Your wit
     It's not just the quick, clever jokes (though it's also those) -- everything about the way your mind works is both refreshing and compelling. You establish dominance almost accidentally through your intellectually rebellious nature and it's insanely attractive.
     Yes, wit is insanely attractive. I prefer wit over intelligence because there is something so subtly attractive about intelligent humour and the ability to react with sharp and well-constructed comments. I suppose INFJs do like ENTPs for their wit...I mean, what's more attractive than a guy who can sense that you are playing mindgames and can respond with equal competence?

INTP - Your indifference
     I hate to admit it, but one of the most attractive qualities someone can exhibit in the 21st century is simply not giving a shit about the dating game. You'd genuinely rather be left alone to your thoughts and to the many emotional masochists out there, you're the very definition of a challenge.
     It is simply very unwise to go after these people because all you're going to do is get hurt. Conversely, because these people obviously do not give a shit, it is probably very easy to get over a crush on them because...well...there isn't any guilt involved since they aren't going to give a shit.

ISTJ - Your reliability
     You are the definition of the strong, silent type. People are attracted to your no-fuss-no-muss attitude -- they want someone they can rely on and you're the definition of dependable. Plus your dry humour doesn't hurt.
      Well, I found what all insecure girls are looking for. I just don't think ISTJs are reliable in the way that I want it and I do not like dry humour. Dependability is also no where near the top of my list of qualities because the idea of leaning onto someone so completely without allowing them to lean back is quite disagreeable with me. ISTJs strike me as the type to not know the difference between being dependable and being straight-up annoying.

ESTP - Your nonchalance
     You are personable, capable and confident -- all seemingly without trying. We don't know how you pull if off, ESTP, but your cool as a cucumber attitude is alluring and absorbing. Something about you just dares us to put ourselves on your radar.
     Or something just dares me to try to knock down your cool. Hey but if INFJ specialises in intensity, then ESTP's cool as a cucumber attitude is clearly something that we dislike and is also the completely opposite.

ISTP - Your aloofness
     Your offbeat, somewhat distant attitude is endearing at worst and insanely attractive at best. Despite the fact that you're somewhat reserved in conversation, it's obvious that you're a Jack-of-most-trades who can take care of yourself with ease. Your aloof independence is hot.
     Again, this contrasts with intensity. I really don't have much to say about STs, do I?

ESTJ - Your decisiveness
     It's difficult not to respect your frank, assertive nature. You go for your goals with no holds barred and you don't care who or what tries to stand in your way. Your confidence in what you want makes others want to be the thing that you want.
     No. I don't care to be the thing that you want and neither do I want to be the thing that you want. Assertiveness and inflexibility are horrible qualities to be in taken in combination. Frank means lack of tact and while INFJs appreciate honesty, there is a certain level of tact we still expect people to keep - the social norm level of tact.

ESFJ - Your togetherness
     You somehow manage to always be miles ahead of the rest of us when it comes to general adulting. You've got your ducks in a row and you're looking for a partner who can measure up. People are attracted to you when they're looking for a partner who's got their shit together and pulls it off with style.
     Sadly, INFJs probably possess some hero-complex as well, though not as much as the extroverted FJs, so I do not care if your have your shit together. While I do not intentionally go for people with their shit all over the place, because that is 1. intrusive and 2. unwise, I don't mind having to help people get their shit together if my assistance is required. I do not need the kind of inflexible stability offered by an ESFJ and it's honestly quite overbearing.

ISFJ - Your composure
     You are polished, composed and incredibly humble to boot. You don't demand attention but you attract it through your put-together attitude. People are attracted to your stability and grace -- whether you realise that you possess it or not.
     So what I can gather now is that Ni makes you unstable or something because the SFJs seem to have it together more than NFJs do. Still, yes, I do see those qualities in ISFJ, but really, once again, I don't care much for those qualities. Do I think it's extremely adorable when a guy is very awkward around girls? Yes. Is that stability of any kind? I think it's rather the opposite. But do I think it's attractive for a guy to be completely confident? No. I just think it's fake.

ENTJ - Your aggression
     You don't mess around when you see something you want. You are assertive, direct and smart about getting what you want and it's a purely irresistible quality. Your dominant nature is hot. And you make sure that whomever you're going for knows it.
     There's something so very charming about someone who is so dominant that I just want to rip away that dominance and enjoy the few moments of grovelling they will do after that. Does that make me a control freak? Maybe. I don't really care. I don't like ENTJs, but if I had to choose a type as a fun challenge, I would go for ENTJs.

4. Why You Should Listen to an INFJ

INFJ: Hey, you should watch out how you act around ENFJ. I think he's beginning to like you.

ESFP: Oh, INFJ-dear, you worry too much. I'm sure he doesn't like me at all!

*2 weeks later*

ESFP: So I really think ENFJ likes me and I don't even know how it happened? I don't know what to do!

INFJ: ...You know I did tell you to watch out a couple of weeks ago...2 weeks exactly.

ESFP: Oh, you did? I totally don't remember!

INFJ: .........*sigh*

5. MBTI Truth or Dare

ENFP: They have been preparing this game for months. They will ask you the most difficult questions and dare you to do terrible things.

      You are the reason why I dread Truth or Dare, because I spend 90% of the time doing forfeits.

INFP: Reveals a surprisingly reckless side after accepting a dare.

      I'll be there when they start regretting it later. Honestly, if you don't want to do it, just make it extremely uncomfortable for others to pester you. Act like they committed a serious crime and you'll be let off just fine.

ENFJ: Trying to keep the peace as the game gets too intense to handle. Their questions are mediocre but appreciated.

     Where was the ENFJ when we needed him/her the last time I played this game? Honestly, half the nonsense we had to do...there's a reason why I always sit out of games like this. I refuse to go grind up on anyone or anything, thank you.

INFJ: Chooses dare then asks for it to be modified multiple times before finally switching to truth and revealing something terrifying.

     This game was not made for us. We refuse to do anything stupid and we refuse to reveal anything, for your good of course. Every single game of truth or dare I've played was done unwillingly and with endless complaining inwardly.

ENTP: Finds a loophole to all the dares. Some are quite impressive.

     When my luck is good, I like playing with these people. They make for a very entertaining game.

INTP: Chooses dare to avoid having to answer questions.

     I would do that too if I wasn't so conscious about doing dares.

ENTJ: Asks all the really uncomfortable questions, Everyone's afraid of them.

     The person I want to ban from the entire game because I know they are going to ruin things.

INTJ: Quits the game halfway through. It's too uncomfortable.

     I'll be right with you. I don't want to sit through this torture either.

ESFP: Chooses truth, but they are so open about everything that nobody is ever surprised by what they have to say.

      The person way too eager to open up and honestly, at this point, I don't care anymore.

ISFP: Asks the deepest questions and kills the mood.

      Ermmm...ISFP? *whispers in her ear* You can come over here and talk to me about it.

ESTP: DARE. DARE. THEY WILL CHOOSE DARE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THEM. They will do anything. Anything.

      The one who does on-the-mouth kisses without flinching. The one who actually agrees to grind up on someone (and I had to be the pole and I wanted to die). The one who did commando pushups while eating chicken rice with only his mouth. Yeah, get away from me. Traumatising memories.

ISTP: Keeps a cool exterior throughout the game and chooses dare.

      Also a fun person to play with...but they may suggest things to me that I won't do.

ESFJ: Started the game of truth or dare, and is probably begging the INTJ to join back in. Chooses a healthy balance of truths/dares.

      Since I'm sitting with the INTJ, NO. I refuse to participate in this bad idea and I'm going home. This game does not encourage bonding and it just makes it very awkward for all involved.

ISFJ: Chooses truth everytime just to talk about their crush.

      As opposed to the INFJ. I would probably avoid truth everytime to avoid having to be cornered into answering such questions. But let me assure you, people have ways of going around that too, by shaping it into a dare instead.

ESTJ: Gets into a competition with the ENTJ to see who can ask the most uncomfortable questions. Loses, but it is still terrifying.

      Yeah, I'm going home. I refuse to participate in stupid activities that cannot possibly end in anything good. It doesn't take an intuitive to see the horrors of what could happen.

ISTJ: Is only there to make sure the ESTP doesn't do anything illegal.

     You can join us in the sidebench while we watch the extroverts tear one another up.

5. MBTI as Japanese Cuisine

ISTJ: Miso Soup

Meh, Miso soup is kinda nice but...the ones that are not professionally prepared tend to be too salty.

ISFJ: Okayu

Japanese porridge is actually extremely delicious. I prefer it to Chinese porridge (Shhh...don't tell my dad or I'll be in my grave soon).

ISTP: Udon

I do not like fat noodles. End of story.

ISFP: Takoyaki

I like traditional takoyaki that comes with non-excessive shell crusting and nicely grilled and substantial octopus inside.

INTJ: Nigiri Sushi

Can you remove the rice? I just want the raw seafood (i.e. sashimi) and tamagoyaki (i.e. egg) on top.

INFJ: Dango

Where do you get Dango in Singapore? It's my favourite Japanese snack. It's just glutinous riceballs, I know, but I like them in green tea flavour so much I could sit there for days eating the same thing (although the traditional is plain [white], green tea [green] and red bean [red]). They are usually eaten with Maccha, which is a Japanese green tea that differs in usual green tea in its preparation method [where usual green tea leaves are dried, green tea leaves in maccha are steamed].

INTP: Okonomiyaki

This thing is delicious and for those who don't know, okonomiyaki is a savoury pancake with a variety of ingredients, usually with egg as a base.

INFP: Taiyaki

I love traditional red bean taiyaki. Cheese and chocolate and whatever, those are fine but red bean Taiyaki? Best thing in the world...after Dango.

ESTJ: Onigiri

It depends on the quality of the rice, the seasoning of the rice, the filling of the onigiri. But generally, the slightly sour rice with tuna filling is really good.

ESFJ: Sukiyaki

I'm not a huge fan of sukiyaki, surprisingly.

ESTP: Temaki

Temaki, or handrolls, that are made professionally are often very good. However, the ones you get at convenient sushi stores are generally not that good.

ESFP: Curry Rice

I love Japanese curry. It's not as spicy and it's quite sweet. Of course, I do like spicy curry too. I think it's just the spice that I like.

ENTJ: Maki Sushi

I don't actually like sushi. I like the ingredients inside the sushi but not the sushi itself. Too much rice, in my opinion, limits the amount of other food I can eat, like raw salmon and raw tuna.

ENFJ: Anpan

Again, something you rarely see in Singapore, but I've eaten the traditional ones. They are just red bean buns but ya know...I have an obsession with red bean as much as I have an obsession with tea, so yes, I like Anpans. 

ENTP: Yakisoba

Stop with the damn soba! Also, I don't like noodles dry.

ENFP: Omurice

It actually just tastes pretty average. It's rice in an omelette, but I guess the way people decorate it is nice. Also...Boy Love Cafe Omurice anyone?

8. MBTI Hide and Seek

ENFP: Hider - Can find some of the least conventional hiding places, but often get bored halfway through and start making loud noises

INFP: Hider - They are quiet as fuck, but they tend to come out of hiding too early, thinking the game is over

ENFJ: Seeker - Their excellent leadership qualities can convert found hiders into seekers, but the second guess themselves with obvious hiding spots

INFJ: Seeker - They know where all the good hiding spots are, but are too diplomatic of a player and allow found hiders to escape

ENTP: Hider - Like ENFP, are able to find the best hiding spots, but they are absolutely terrible at controlling their laughter

INTP: Hider - They never come out of hiding (ever) but this concerns other players and the game ends abruptly

ENTJ: Seeker - They are ruthless and won't stop until every hider is found. Unfortunately the hiders are well aware of this and avoid them. Most likely to turn on other seekers and threaten the INFJ in order to find out where the hiding spots are

INTJ: Hider - Their willpower will keep them in the game as long as possible, but they can become easily annoyed by other players and quit

ESFP: Hider - They pick spots so obvious, they aren't obvious. But they can't stay hidden for more than 3 minutes. It better be a short game.

ISFP: Hider - They're excellent at camouflage, but they like to hide in trees, despite having no balance. They often fall out of these trees.

ESTP: Seeker - Their magnetic personality lures people out of hiding, but they'll probably quite when the game stops being fun.

ISTP: Hider - They can easily switch between hiding places without seekers noticing, though, they tend to leave the game before it's over

ESFJ: Hider - They often refuse to reveal their teammates hiding places, but that being said, they always hide around other people

ISFJ: Hider - Their patience puts them ahead of the others, but they're much too trusting of seekers and are often lured out of hiding

ESTJ: Hider - They're determined to be the last person hiding, but once found, their bitterness will often drive them to reveal their teammates' locations.

ISTJ: Seeker - They know everything there is to know about hide and seek, but often refuses to convert found hiders into seekers out of fairness.
