What can I say? My penname is actually a tribute to my favorite young adult writer Hilary Bell. I added the ‘e’ cause, hey, who doesn’t like feeling beautiful and exotically foreign? I’m an artist of the hunched-over-a-canvas splashing on pretty-colors-of-paint variety. I wait all winter for my lake to unfreeze, for warm rains to come, and for the few cherry blossoms in my area to bloom.

I’m kind of a boring person so I’m really just gonna use this profile to expose you all to wonderful, wonderful works of art. Browse it when you’re bored.

Personally, I think I’m a better reader than writer. I adore my collection of fanfictions. It’s so hard to filter through this site and find good ones. So if your tastes coincide with mine you should have a blast checking my favorites out. Check out my favorite authors especially. I feel bad because if an author writes too many good stories I just favorite them and not the individual fics.

Some recommendations (my idols’ best in my humble opinion):

The Divine Glitch by michelerene (one of my all time favs)

Dearly Beloved …and…Backbreak by CerealK (they’re both so good, so emotional/angsty)

It Started Over Coffee by Rasengan22 (epic.)

Choosing Who by gelfling (damn…the only canonverse i’ve ever loved)

Torrid by KageKitsune XXX

The Lost and Found by nostratic (so underrated but awesome writer)

Unmei no Koe by UchihanoChidori (one of the few worthwhile SasuItaNaru)

Love in Chinese by velvet-prosthesis (amaaazing old style drama, says me)

Ex Boys by Reya Knight

Not by LilPurplFlwr

My Bad by CloudNineKitty

…these are my ‘reread’ stories. and everyone should check out caidanu over at Y!gal. I’ve no idea who she(?) is but she is a driving force in the itasai pairing so All Hail.

Yeah, I like angst, I think. For me crying is a delicious emotional high.

My FAVORITE anime is Durarara!! Because Izaya is the best villain ever. Especially his Shizuo obsession. And while we’re talking about Izaya can we talk about Hiroshi Kamiya? I think I could do x-rated things with his voice. If you haven’t caught on to his brilliance yet just know he’s the Japanese Christian Bale as far as sexy voices go. He’s Izaya, Mephisto Pheles, Yanase Yuu, Yato, Art, and Gareki among other awesome characters. With his partners in crime, Daisuke Ono and Toshiyuki Toyonaga, this man could take over the world.

Other awesome anime:

Un-Go

K Project

No. 6

Heaven's Memo Pad

Hamatora

Blue Exorcist

Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi

Tokyo Ghoul

Noragami

07 Ghost

Mekakucity Actors

Vassalord OVA

Blast of the Tempest…kinda. it had so much potential…i don’t wanna spoil things so i won’t say anything more

Manga:

Super Lovers (the. Best.)

Maiden Rose

Totally Captivated

Kuroshitsuji (Sebastian is the hottest ever. I wish i knew how it’s possible for a 2D character to be so much hotter then everyone else but good god.)

Hana no Mizo Shiru

Zion no Koeda (by Inariya Fusanosuke, the same as Maiden Rose. such a brilliant mangaka.)

Haikei Niisan-sama

Asterisk

Let Dai (this last one’s a toss up. Some parts are amazing, some are overly depressing. but it’s got an older feel to it, like an old drama. it’s just something BL readers just be exposed to, kinda like Shakespeare is for English majors. i listened to The Paper Kites while reading it and it was a perfect and beautiful association)

...I’d bore you with lots and lots more but…it’s not like I enjoy being boring.

Adorable sasunaru dj: Worst Night

Studio Ghibli is the best. I love Howl’s Moving Castle and Porco Rosso and Spirited Away and Nausicca and… okay all the ones connected to Hayao Miyazaki.

A small representation that America can come up with some pretty cool shit too:

Pushing Daisies. this is still my favorite tv show ever. it’s clever and hilarious, colorful, and a beautiful love story. i wish i could create something so magical.

(Apparently Ireland can too because John Boyne is the author of the heart-wrenching book The Absolutist.)
