So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed

Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind?

So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise?

When will our sins be justified?

Not really, I'm just a little hyped around Soul Eater. That manga's AWESOME!

Stole this from: ~bleedingangel515 ~acpadilla who are practically the same person


1. What are your characters names?

"Yo! My name is Manda! The little squirt is Diana! We're the Bananzas!" Manda began as she sang in a rap-like tune.

Diana sighed, "Ignore her..."

2. What are your characters name in another language?

Manda scratches her head, "Um...? The heck would I know?! Ask Diana since she's such a bookworm."

"Be quiet!"

3. How old are they?

"Thirteen, baby!" Manda smiled.

Diana didn't respond.

"Tell them!"

"N-no! It's rude to say a woman's age."

Manda sighed, "She's ten."

"MANDA!!!"

4. What are your characters race/species?

"I thought we were dogs, but apparently she says otherwise." Manda pointed to her younger sister.

"We can't be any of the animals you've suggested because none of the traits match!"

"Somebody's been watching too much CSI..."

"Yeah, you!"

5. Do they have a crush?

Diana squinted and glared as Manda did a cheesy grin.

"Don't. You. Dare."

"Okay! I'll just tell them in riddles!"

"Wha?! NO!"

"HEY FOLKS! Here's a hint on who Diana likes! He starts with a 'W' and rhymes with 'bucko'!"

Diana put her hands on her hips, "Bucko? You used bucko as a hint?"

Manda shrugged, "Hey, it rhymed."

6. Do they have many friends?

"That depends..." Manda slightly answered.

"Only a few."

7. What planet are your characters from?

"Last time I checked it was earth-OR ARE WE IN SOME SORT OF PARALLEL DIMENSION?!"

"That's it: no more Twilight Zone for you."

Manda crossed her legs and pout, "But it's mind trippy! And it has a disfigured eye!"

8. Do your characters like to eat?

"Um, DUH! Do we look anorexic to you?!"

"Manda! Don't say such things! You might offend someone!"

"Well? If we weren't eating, we would be skin and bones. Like that...Diana, what's that dude's name again? Not from 'Mime Time' the other one, 'Good Idea, Bad idea'"

"Mr. Skully..."

"YEAH! We'd look like that guy!"

Diana moaned in annoyance as she buried her head on her hand.

9. What are their favorite foods?

"Oh my god, that's so hard to choose." Manda reaches into her pocket to pull out a list. As she unwraps it, the list starts to roll out, leaving a trail of text behind.

"Where did you find the time to write all that?!" Diana asked, surprised.

"I was bored."

"Yet you can't do that with your chores."

10. What are their favorite drinks?

"SODA ALL THE WAY BABY!" She chugs a whole can of Coke.

"That's horribly bad for you teeth." Diana stated.

"Gee, thanks mom."

"As for me, I like chocolate milk."

"Because you're SUCH a chocoholic."

Manda recieved a punch in the arm from that remark.

11. Are your characters annoying?

"How should I put this nicely?" Diana turns to stare at Manda, who is obnoxiously playing with video games, scarfing down a bag of chips, and has the music booming from her boom box, "Yup. She's an obnoxious pig.

12. Name 5 most annoying things about your characters.

Even though I love Manda, the toughest thing is drawing her. Especially her hair. Same thing with Diana. One spike would look crooked than all the others. Mostly I see imperfection and try to fix all of it. Plus, trying to make them as original as possible drives me to a point where I want to yank my hair.

"That's our Amanda!" Manda happily exclaimed.

13. Are your characters loved?

"I hope not TOO much. Then that'd be saying something." Manda stated.

"At least you didn't have to go through re-development."

"Still bitter about that, huh?"

"YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!! TO BE TAKEN BY NUMEROUS RANDOM FANS AND HAVE THEM CHANGE ME INTO A MARY-SUE!!! I JUST HAD TO CHANGE!!!"

"Yeah...what I think we're trying to say here is: we hope we're loved but not to a point where it's ridiculous."

As she spoke, she noticed Diana had moved to the edge of a corner, mopping and depressed.

14. Are your characters hated?

"Same answer as the last one, only as long as we're not bashed."

"WHY ME?! WHY?! WHY MUST IT BE THE FIRST ONE'S TO GO?!"

Manda felt herself begin to sweat, "Okay...I think Diana is having a melt down."

15. Are they emo/goth?

"I like the style but no." Manda happily stated.

(Diana is going through some emotional difficulties. Please try again later.)

16. Are they straight, bisexual, or gay?

"I'll answer for the both of us: We are both straight!"

17. Name 3 hobbies.

"Lets see...my hobbies are playing gutair, pulling pranks, and daydreaming."

"...That's not a hobby..."

"DON'T RUIN MY MOMENT! *ahem* Anyway, Diana's hobbies are being boring, naggy and a smarty-pants!"

"THAT'S A LIE AND YOU KNOW IT!"

"Alright, alright, her actual hobbies are reading, playing the violin, and ballet...little miss goody-two shoes..."

"I HEARD THAT!!!"

18. Are your characters normal?

"...Define normal?" Manda stated.

"Don't steal my book!"

"I mean the term not the story!"

19. Are your characters attractive?

Both Manda and Diana didn't respond.

20. How do your characters handle emotions?

"I hide them pretty well, but Ms. sensitive over there blows up every five seconds."

"Oh please! I handle myself pretty well, while you, Manda, are a two face!"

"I am not!"

"Oh yes you are!"

"Am not!"

"...Okay....Mandy!"

Manda froze and stared at her with creepy eyes, "...What...did...you call me?!"

*Please stand by*

21. Do your characters have other forms?

Manda and Diana rush back with their clothes torn and tathered.

"I wish..." Manda muttered.

"You bit me in the ear!"

22. Do your characters overreact?

"YES!!" They both shouted while pointing fingers at each other

23. Are your characters criminals?

"How ridiculous, of course not! Our adoptive father taught from right and wrong! You'd have to be clueless if you thi-"

Diana stops when she notices Manda, whistling with an innocent look, hiding a bat behind her back. A halo hovered over her head. Diana rubbed her temples.

"...What'd you do now?"

"What do you mean, dearest sister?"

"...I take it back. The only criminal here is my disowned sister!"

24. Do your characters go to school?

"I wish I didn't." Manda moped.

"Shush! Yes, a private school so that we can learn from the best."

"Yeah right. Everyone knows that students in those schools only rebel even more and always has to wear those dorky uniforms."

"...Why am I related to you?!"

25. What are their IQs?

"I'm not sure about my own, but I know Diana's got to be pretty high."

"The only thing I'm sure is that you have the IQ of a walnut."

"Don't mix words, tell me how you really feel."

26. Do your characters have a disease/curse?

"Please don't tell them!"

"Oh come on Diana, it's not as bad as you think!"

"I don't want people to feel sorry for me!"

"Tell you what, if they start doing the pity act, I'll beat them up!"

"...Even though I'm absolutely against that idea...alright! I have asthma! There! I said it!"

27. Are your characters dead?

"Oh my god! We're dead?! Holy crap! We must be zombies!"

"Ha, ha, funny Manda. No, we are not dead."

28. Do your characters have any family?

"Although we have no idea about our actual relatives, we do have our father who adopted us when we were little."

"Eh, he's okay."

"Manda! That's our father!"

"Yeah, but he's not blood-related."

"I cannot recall at this time." Manda said.

"That's her way of saying no."

30. What's the best time in your characters' life?

"When I beat the highest score in a video game!"

"Being able to be in a dance recidle"

31. If you could name 1 friend, which would you relate to your characters the most?

Alright, I should speak, even though both of them are mostly from me...Well, even though it said one, Kelsey reminds me of Manda because her influences in games mostly inspired me while Anna is more of Diana because she taught me so much that I had to use some of her traits into her

32. Are your characters single?

Yup.

"Don't get any ideas, guys! Stalk me, and you'll wake up with a tube down your throat!"

"..Ehehe, yeah we're single..." Diana's cheeks start to turn pink.

34. Do they have an element?

"No not really, but if we did, I'd so be earth because I rock!"

(Bad pun)

"I would be water, because it moves with such grace."

"Yeah, and when upset, it causes one hell of a storm."

An arm wacked Manda on the head.

35. Do you roleplay your characters?

...No, but I would like to...

36. Do you write about your characters?

Oh yes, but the actual stories I keep to myself. Certain stories here, I might remove.

37. Do your characters have a bad tempers at times?

"Oh yeah. Diana is someone you do not want to mess with when you get in her way. If she was studying for a test, she would be able to break someone's hand if bothered."

"And Manda really gets violent when someone tries to break her away from her game. She'll act like a mad dog, foaming at the mouth and trying to bite your arm off."

38. Do your characters get depressed?

"I try not to."

"For once, I agree."

"You mean an Orca?"

"Yeah."

"Okay then. Mine is the cat."

"Pet lover."

40. Do your characters have any fears?

"Let's see, I fear of getting tricked, public humiliation, and clowns. Well, I'm not actually afraid of them, but they just bug me. Oh and getting beaten in a game."

"Those aren't serious fears."

"You got something better?"

"Pfft! I'm scared of spiders, high places, narrow bridges, anything that looks old and is about to break, any natural disasters, claustrophobic, and failing a test."

41. Do your characters have any weaknesses?

"Manda being over her head."

"And you being a neat freak and making sure everything looks perfect!"

42. Do your characters look up to anyone?

"The people that invented anime."

"Authors of books I like."

"DUH!"

"Manda! It's rude to say that!"

44. What are your characters favorite type of music?

"I love techno, rock, metal rock, japanese music, anything that gets me up and dancing!"

"Mostly classic for me."

"Diana...you really need to get out more."

45. Are they impatient?

"It depends on what I'm waiting for."

"I trying to break out of it." Diana said, feeling a little embarrassed.

46. What's something funny about them?

When Manda gets in her own little world, she likes to imagine that she's a famous guitar player, singing rock songs. Nothing Hanna Montanna or Jonas Brothers, stuff like Breaking Benjamin and stuff. She even likes to dance in public but doesn't notice that others are staring at her.

Diana has a mega crush on *a*k* *a*n*e* but chokes up everytime she sees him. When she tries to say hi, she starts to sweat like niagra falls and speeds up before she does something embarrassing. And when it comes to studying, she will take things seriously and does not tolerate goofying off.

47. Name 5 nicknames.

For Diana:

Deedee
D
Bookworm
Smartypants
Genius

For Manda:

Manda Panda
Mandy (though, she would kill you if you called her that)
Girl with bat
Ponytail
Panda

48. Do your characters curse?

Only in stuff like this or chats. In actual stories I try not to have them curse.

49. What do your characters think of this quiz?

"I think it's about time we finished! God could this be any longer!?"

"Manda! Forgive her rashness, I think it was very well written."

"Kiss up."

Current Event

Well, the polls have spoken. You all wanted a Yakko Strange Things Happening contest and that's what you get I mostly wanted to go with YSTH from the very start but I needed some opinions before going with my head. Plus it will make me feel happy while I'm in school and see all the wonderful ideas you guys will make

Alright there are a couple of things I want to get out before the contest is rolling. First off, the goal is to be creative. Theme is horror/drama because I like that and October is coming soon My birthday month Can't think of anything? Don't worry, here are some ideas you guys can consider:

-Fanfic scenes: even though there isn't much, try to do somewhat your drawing style. Stick with the writing though. I love doing those, even if it's not up yet

-Side stories: Hey anything could happen. Test your skills and see what other strange things could happen in The Warners hometown

-Original A! Cast are allowed in your entires: Well, I'm not going to have it revolved around the Warners. Surprise me! Use anyone from the A! cast. Slappy Squirrel, Pinky and the Brain, that Mime guy, really! Make it creative

To read the fanfic itself, here [link]

Rules
-You can enter with many enteries as you like
-Anything that was drawn BEFORE September 20th will not be accepted because it's not fair to other contestants.
-KEEP THINGS UNDER PG-13! No blood spewing out like a sprinkler or use of alcohol. Yes, most PG-13 movies do have them but I'm the weird one who doesn't do that. Ironically this story was inspired by KH, Umineko and Higurashi, but nothing too mature.
-YOU CAN NOT PUT YOUR OWN OCS IN THE STORY!! The only OCs that are allowed are the ones IN the story (Jokko, Paradot, Spot, Lokko, Juliet, etc)
-Please, please, PLEASE note me with your entry. Putting it in the comments or on my page will not do for it will be hidden and I will ask you to note it.
-HAVE TONS OF FUN!

Prizes: Still unsure.

Deadline: Pending.

Here are the list of OC characters that are in the story:



If there is an OC and it is none of these guys, again you are automatically disqualified. Thank you and have a nice day

ENTIRES












------------------------------------------------------------

RULES!!!!

Yes folks, I'm putting up rules for my gallery! Everytime a new journal topic has been posted, this will always be up on the bottom!

REQUESTS!
Dammit people quit bugging me about ridiculous requests! I appreciate to those that acutally left me notes but now it's getting annoying. Really. So from now on, I'm only taking requests from real close friends. ONLY! Don't even think about bugging me to by my friend because that just tells me you're only in for your own needs. They're your ideas so you create 'em! I'm not paid to do your work! YOU have been warned!

ART-TRADES
Same rules apply like requests. Close friends only.

COMISSIONS!
I'm honestly thinking about them but I'm just not sure yet. I'm already bad at getting requests in so I'm not sure how I would do with this. So no comissions until further notice.

LANGUAGE IN ARTIST COMMENTS!
Okay, I was pretty dumb to think that you guys would censore yourself on this webpage and saw that their was no point in this rule, since I'm starting to curse and such So you can almost say whatever you want. Just try not to use the 'f' word so much

FLAMMING!
If I see one flame about the art, drawing, a cartoon you don't like, or even about someone else's character about being a rip-off in my comments, your comment will be hidden and you will be blocked from my gallery! I don't need people like them trashing my art work!

CRITICS!
There is a difference between flammers and critics. Flammers just shoot crap cause they're bored, or just don't like the characters of the show for no reason what-so-ever! Critics might be harsh sometimes, but they're at least giving us advice at how to make our work, stories and others better. The only thing I ask is not to be TOO critical. Out of 1-10, I ask to keep a criticism to a 5. Even if it says 'Critic not desired' please keep it to a minimum!
