Hi there! I'm Sammm✦✧(talk)!

[hide] A slightly dated message about my hiatus during roughly 2016-2017; doesn't mean I'm not still upset over the whole thing though. For people viewing this from Inkworld, Lockwood & Co., The Lunar Chronicles, and Ruby Red communities; know that my enthusiasm for those series has not died, so don't hesitate to drop a message if you want to discuss the books! :3 --Sammm✦✧(talk) 21:44, October 17, 2018 (UTC) Due to circumstances surrounding a certain treatment towards a certain Wikia wiki I've been offered to take care of by the Staff, I've become more or less, well, LESS enthusiastic towards editing on Wikia since mid-2016. I'm still very anal about editing, but I've come to realize that, heck, I'm not being paid to do a magnificent job on compiling info, and the obsession with editing has hindered my RL activities, which was why I've been mercilessly inactive.

That's NOT saying Ima forever disappear; for Inkworld, Lockwood & Co., The Lunar Chronicles, and Ruby Red, I honestly do hope to someday come back to them and raise their content quality. It's just that my energy has somewhat burnt out, and I'm taking my time to recover. It's very easy to leave comments like "this needs updating", instead of actually contributing to help out. It's even easier to just sit there, read the content, and take it for granted.

Fundamentally I get it, nobody is forcing anybody to do the work; it's too hard? Don't do it then! Which is exactly why I had stopped, when I'd been so stressed out about something that, in the end, isn't really going to impact me in my RL.

Please keep in mind that I'm NOT entirely walking out on the wikis I've been involved with; while my responding time may be severely delayed comparing to the ridiculous "24/7" I used to give, if something serious occurs, my Talk page/ Wall IS still there. If you want to talk in private about books, I'm on Goodreads.

P.S.:	For people viewing from communities that rendered the above video as a red link, feel free to blame it on Wikia/Fandom for retiring the and  extensions, both previously able to display the video cross-wiki. For people who are curious enough for wanting to listen to the song, they are respectively uploaded by the composer on Nico Nico Douga and YouTube. Below is to compensate for most likely the majority of the people viewing this page, being unable to see the video above lol. Let's just hope Wikia/Fandom won't suddenly retire the soundcloud extension like they did the two others. A different song by a different producer. While Treow was not considerably prolific comparing to other producers, I was and still am extremely impressed with the first two CDs (HYSTERESIS and REVERSUS) he released under the collaboration name ELECTROCUTICA. My roommate had thought I was listening to some epic movie OST. Anyhow, this is just the off vocal. The style's not for everyone, so I won't be offended if you don't like it. xP

↓ Why I am on this particular Wiki ↓ Ahaha, there's actually a section down there for my general thoughts on Harry Potter, if you had the patience to read that far on, that is :3. I think I've been a lurker of this Wiki for sometime prior to actually joining it. As visible on my user contributions, my first edit was on Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans because I finally gave in and joined the old version Pottermore, and had speedily gone through Moments to catch up with what I missed out on, hence adding proper references. I'm anal like that because I WANT TO KNOW WHAT INFO COMES FROM WHERE. Since then, occasionally I'd get responses from people taking the tag personal. It is not personal. No one is obliged to provide the needed citation: If you can't provide it, leave it alone and move on; let someone who can to take care of it. There's plenty of other stuff to do here, don't let it bother you. I'm obsessed with cover art because I think it's fascinating to see all the different art works for the books around the world. It was where most of my initial edits were focused on because there's still a lot to be expanded. My editing on HPW stopped for a period, likely due to the "dated message" above. What got me back in was curiously seeing certain vandal taking places lol. I only started other Main namespace editing relatively recently, due to playing Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. It was then I realized that despite HPW being so rich with info, A LOT of them are actually cited in ways that can have a lot of improvements, as in, at best only citing down to what book it was from, which, for thick books like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, while certainly better than nothing, it is far from being the most ideal. So, when I come across pages with citations like this, I do try my best to detail the references when possible. For other namespace editing, I use User namespace to test out templates or other experiments. If people actually use and, I'm sure it'd make even a sad day for me turn happy. xP

This is a belated overview of my intention on HPW. If you can't tell, I didn't exactly expect to edit here much, that's why for the longest time, my profile only has the general info that's visible on all wikis I've been on, and nothing specific as a part of the community. Theoretically, unless some new userboxes come out, I wouldn't be updating my profile much.

Native in both Chinese Mandarin and English. If my understanding of Chinese is 99%, English being 90%, then 40% would be my Japanese skills as of now. (It was 2% 5 years ago.) I read manga in Chinese/Japanese. I only read manga in English when I couldn't find them in the other two languages. I read comics in English. I watch anime and J-drama in Japanese, with either Chinese/English subtitles.

An art student in San Francisco. A CLAMP fan for 2 decades. (though I admit, I do think their quality isn't as good as their glorious days) A Harry Potter fan for over a decade. (The books, only the books! FYI I dislike the character Harry Potter) A Trinity Blood (トリニティ・ブラッド) fan for over half a decade. (Yeah, I do know if I had been a fan since the beginning I would've been a fan for more than 10 years instead of 5, but my middle school and high school years were pressured with tests equivalent of SAT and ACT, plus I already had plenty other interests. ANYWAY so what I was late lol doesn't change the fact I am a hardcore fan now. :3 ) A VOCALOID and UTAU fan for over half a decade. (not sure about CeVIO atm, but さとうささら does have a great voice) I feel embarrassed for some so-called fans who couldn't even tell the difference between VOCALOID and cover singers. I also hate it when people thought VOCALOID is exclusively a Japanese thing, or that the Japanese started it. Go do your homework. A semi-fan of Nico Nico cover-singers (NND Utaite/ニコニコ歌い手) for over half a decade. (I admit the craze died down just a little bit) An X-Men fan for a year+ (lmao) but a crazy one. I've read 90% aka most of the X-Men and related X-titles that were published after 1990 (even some before that), so that's reading 25 years of stuff in one year and liking them. Don't talk me down and use the excuse that I haven't started reading comics long enough, I might just know more about them than you think. An Inkheart trilogy fan for a year+ (lol) but a considerably dedicated one. (perhaps because it is originally written in German and not English, so it was not as well known where I grew up; I only became aware of it after the movie adaptation. After actually picking up the series, I quickly fell in love with it and even bought a rare set of special edition SECONDHAND (first time to ever do this) because the covers are so much more fitting to its name. I do think this series is just underrated...) Harry Potter (series) [hide] My favorite books are Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Characters ~ I love Hermione Granger (I'm still hoping JKR will finally end her marriage via Pottermore) Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour (later Fleur Weasley) Crookshanks ~ I like Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom (oh don't get me wrong, I don't ship them, I just like them on the same level) Fred Weasley and George Weasley Charlie Weasley Pretty much all the decent members of the D.A.. ~ I wish were further explored in canon Theodore Nott Kingsley Shacklebolt Terry Boot ~ I dislike, borderline hating Harry Potter (book 5 onward) Molly Weasley (book 4 onward) Arthur Weasley (book 4 onward) (K, this one I feel the need of explaining. I dislike him for his ignorance; for someone claiming to "love" muggles, he never tried to actually "understand" them, he just "likes the idea" of them. If you truly are fascinated with another culture, you shouldn't just fantasied about them, you should try actually learning about them.

The fact that he did't bother to think in their point of view, NOT KNOWING they don't floo, failed at recognizing currency, clearly shows that his enthusiasm were falsely placed, or simply put, ignorant.

I know he's a nice dude in general, that's why he isn't on the next list, but if I hate anything, I hate the people who broadcast their love for something and don't even know half of the stuff about what they supposedly love so much) Ginny Weasley (book 6 onward) Albus Dumbledore (This one's a bit tricky. Unlike the listed above who I have distinct points where I started to dislike them, I realized the loathing of Dumbledore only came after I've gotten the whole picture aka finished all the books. He truly was some piece of work, effing manipulative bastard. I only find his actions shady after knowing the whole truth, those acts were pretty flawless unless you knew the other side of the story) ~ I loathe Ron Weasley (book 3 onward) (I can write a 10+page paper and thoroughly analyze how I feel I would only like this character had he died in the last book. I'm not even kidding, I told my friends as such. His death would have effectively canceled out all the shitty moves he did; I was very sad to learn it actually had been JKR's plan to kill him off but was changed) Dolores Umbridge Cornelius Fudge Clarifications K, so seeing how I actually listed 2/3 of the trio, aka main characters, and some family members of a certain member of the trio as people I either dislike so much that I feel like I hate them, or I do in fact loathe them; you may wonder why I would list them instead of the people most fans would obviously hold no love.

トリニティ・ブラッド［ Trinity Blood ］ This series is as of now the ONE AND ONLY rare case, in which I'm fond of all the existing versions: the original light novels, the manga adaptation, and the anime adaptation. Personally my favorite is the R.O.M. series. BTW, I'm actually still having hopes Hollywood would pick this up lol This series has so much more to offer than half of the other vampire stuff currently on the market!

Yes, I'm aware that unfortunately Sunao Yoshida (吉田直) died before he could finish, what apparently still has a long way to go, but the 6 finished books are solid enough if not touching upon the whole origin of Methuselah.

Inkheart trilogy Love the books, wish there were more, but am happy with what there is. Before you start talking crap about the film, I'll just tell you, I actually like this adaptation way more than how the HP film franchise is handled comparing to its source material; of course it's not exactly the same as the book, but its treatment and alteration is more reasonable and understandable than the... what I called almost-overated film franchise.

Side-note: Don't get me wrong, I DON'T HATE the HP film adaptations, but I'm certainly not overly fond of it like I probably would have been, had it actually been how EPIC it needed to be. For Inkheart, I'm just disappointed that the film was so under-appriciated and therefore no sequels.

ハイキュー!!［ Haikyu!! ］ I'm pretty sure I've proclaimed this somewhere; problem is I don't remember where, so I might as well add it onto my mass profile lmao. This series, as of now, somewhat topped, if not at least on the same level with, the case I mentioned above with TB; I'm relatively fond of all the existing versions: the original manga series, the anime adaptation, the live stage-play adaptation, and the companion novels.

It was to my greatest shock because prior to this series, I was very judgmental (still am, in fact) and don't care much for even thinking about giving live stage-plays a try: I have a very unfounded and bias preconception that they look silly and they ought to be crap. That is on me, but is also why I was completely blown away by the authenticity of ハイパープロジェクション演劇 「ハイキュー!!」[HYPER PROJECTION ENGEKI “HAIKYU!!”]. I was and still am bloody impressed. Yes, obviously some tweaks were still made, but that's some true respect shown towards the source material, something somehow were always made excuses for when failing to do so in western adaptations. From stage design and effects to soundtracks, everything, the direction and the actual production were just great.

Arrowverse [hide] My former page? http://arrow.wikia.com/wiki/User:76.21.58.33 I finally got convinced and created an account since apparently my IP address may switch once my modem is restarted, and THAT happens lately so fine, I cave in.

I'm more of a MARVEL girl (no pun intended, I effing have no love for Jean Grey or her daughter) so I got into this shared universe relatively late. I'm still not crazy about Arrow, but am slightly addicted to The Flash.

Articles I'm slightly more invested in [hide] Although I edit around the wiki, here are some in-universe pages I've added 1k+ bytes of content during one single edit; aka, although for some pages I might eventually also have accumulatively added 1k+ bytes worth of content through several separate edits, let's just keep it simple here. (This table is also NOT counting the ones for undoing vandalism) As you can see, there's not that much going on. There's always room for improvements and growth!

So here goes.

Name may contain spoilers for people who haven't read.

Characters I like Nicko Heap Wolf Boy (aka 409) Snorri Snorrelssen O. Beetle Beetle Characters I "think" I'd eventually really like Marcia Overstrand Characters that are really trying my patience Septimus Heap (aka 412) (book 5) What a bloody disaster! It's like reading HPOotP all over again! Don't get me wrong, that book actually is one of my favorites out of the two of the seven books! It's just that... Is this just how grownups perceive teenagers? Do they have to write their teenaged protagonist into some whiny git? Seriously hope by the end of this book he'd revert back to the some old cute Sep. Characters I dislike, borderline hating Silas Heap (book 4 did it, but he was annoying from the very beginning) Honestly, this guy's an effing idiot. Even without Marcia, he would have never made ExtraOrdinary Wizard with attitude like that. Sarah Heap (book 4) This woman is also an idiot. Sure, play the "let's blame it all on Marcia" game, shall we? Why don't you be less useless before you start pointing fingers? Jillie Djinn (book 4) Jenna Heap (book 5) The way she talked to Milo did it for me. Ungrateful bastard. You know what? You hate people calling you princess or your highness? Then effing stop this stuck-up princessy act! Gawd she's annoying in this book. Also, I'm so sick of her writing people off as "crazy" when she herself is too stupid to care to understand the actual situation; I find the way she calls people crazy highly offensive; it wasn't like how other people were half joking about others being "cray cray"; the way she says it is just full of arrogance and ignorance. Characters I loathe Merrin Meredith (book 4 did it, but he was annoying from the very beginning) Section WIP ♥

Miraculous Ladybug [hide] Also known as Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, Miraculous, and formerly LadyBug; take your pick! =P

I'm going to go in a completely fangirl mode and share exactly how and why I think I'm FATED to fall for this series! LMAO. I'm not even kidding. On April 24, 2016, as I was walking home, a ladybug landed just few steps away from my next stride. I now seriously regretted that I didn't take a picture of it; it DID cross my mind at the time, because, well, I honestly don't see ladybugs around everyday like pigeons, but then I personally didn't particularly care for the insect, with the fact that while I did have my portable charger with me, my phone was dead at the time. Wanting to go home ASAP, I just didn't feel like waiting around to charge my phone so I could take the photo, thus I didn't. It still didn't change the fact that the encounter was memorable to me and I had a smile as I walked home.

Two days later, on April 26, 2016, on a basically abandoned Polish wiki I'm only on because I go add interlanguage links, a user joined and made a single edit. Whenever this happens to an abandoned wiki I follow, I'd always check out the user's profile. If they have "favorite wikis" listed, I'd also click to get a sense of their work ethic elsewhere. And that was when it happened. I entered the Polish ML Wiki, and even without understanding anything, the Favicon itself got all my attention; I was like: "Ladybug? What a coincident! I just saw one a few days ago! Wonder what this is about!", though at the time I kind of assume it was for a game in some type because of the design theme, and didn't really think there was high hope for me to actually be interested. Yet, once I click to view the main page, I became completely stunned. My first thought was that, "Is this some new film I again miss out for some reason!!!!???" Like come one! Look at Marinette Dupain-Cheng!!! Her design honestly could have landed her in any major feature film and would have fitted right in!

I immediately went for the English counterpart wiki, and was momentarily tormented when I found out in a few sentences that it was not a film, but a TV series. Call me old fashion and I don't care, but I'm fairly prestigious towards traditional 2D animation, and generally regard 3D productions (for TV! Not feature films) with distaste. At that point I no longer care; it wasn't going to hurt me to watch a few clips to know more about the show. And... Well, I fell in love, and binge-watched the entire first season (26 episodes) in A DAY.

I'd like to elaborate a little more and list my usual "characters I like/love/loathe etc.", but that can wait. I honestly love every episode and can't wait for the next season! On that note, let me just say this, despite the whole "I prefer 2D" thing I told you, I'm honestly HELLA GLAD they didn't end up making the show in 2D anime style like the original proposal. Don't get me wrong, there's still a chance that an anime version could be great, but JUST NOT in the specific style they first showed. I absolutely hate the art style and think it's super fugly. Thank GAWD it didn't happen. Thinking about it still makes me want to puke.

Pasting something I wrote in a comment for episode "Antibug" (because I doubt the said video would last long on YouTube):

I think this episode should have been named "Vanisher and Antibug"; it's ironic how Sabrina is "invisible" in the episode title, not sure if it was intentional :3. This is also the first time this show used an existing superhero/supervillian name from mainstream comics (to my knowledge anyways; I don't read a lot lol) But I'm glad the powers are completely different; the Vanisher I know (mostly featured in X-Men related titles) teleports (himself and others) and "vanishes" xP Sabrina's powers... Is just very Invisible Woman-esque sans the ability to generate force field... Section WIP ♥
