Aloha, everyone! Sooooooo. I just joined like...recently and you may have seen me lurk about LOL. Anyways! I'm Aki, but you can call me Black Widow on here or just even BW for short or Kiki. I respond to either of those names! :> So uhhhh quick notes about me:
About to turn 21 in like, 4 days. Whoop whoop. Asian-American, so I'm Seoul-born, but 'Murican-raised. (HOLLA AT ME EAST COAST BBIES). I'm also a ridiculous art nerd-I've been drawing and making a shit ton of art since I was a bby. Currently studying in an art college @ the moment, so yaaa fuuuun stuff. Coding for a while, but still such a totall noooob at it, so please teach me all your amazing ways, senpais <3
What else? I also love Marvel, DC Comics, anime/manga (pretty much like all of CLAMP's works omg they're so pretty ok, Sailor Moon, Bleach, Kuroshitsuji, From Far Away, and a shit ton of other things that I can't remember at this moment), Miyazaki's beautiful animations, tumblr, fantasy/dark/supernatural genre (Buffy, TVD, Supernatural, American Horror Story, Hemlock Grove, and a bunch of other ones), Harry Pottter (good god JK Rowling, you are forever one of my childhood heroes), and also superhero stuff too (like the Dark Knight, the Avengers, and other things).
Music: Sam Smith, Norah Jones, Coldplay, Ryan Star, Parachute, Maroon 5, and other ones I can't think of rn. When it comes to Korean music, I mostly listen to underground/indie Korean music. Huuuuge fan of Younha's works, and also love Big Bang! I also really adore Ailee-such a powerful singer!
Languages known: English + Korean + Latin + Japanese + Italian. Tryin to tackle Chinese, but luuuuuuls it's so difficult.
Been to: Korea, Japan, Hawaii, and Italy! Hopin to go to Spain in the next year or so, once I get more money saved up! :3 Annnnnd. I also really adore sweet, kawaii things. <3
OK that's me. WOW. that was a long intro sorry lolol. And uh, i have no idea what team to join LOL maybe gundams cuz mechas plz

こんいちわ!わたしわりゅうがくせいです。あなたのせんこうわなんですか?
Welcome to GS. I'm also an art student but I'm very much academic-focused so .. kinda interdisciplinary? I'm also currently in Japan for my spring semester abroad and so I'm taking Japanese here. Also from the East Coast. Lots of talented people here for you to get coding inspiration and tips from.

THE LEVIATHAN, こんにちは! いいえ、私はアメリカで勉強してきました。私はアメリカの市民ですので、だから私は、普通の学生です。 It's been a while since I've typed in Japanese >__<''' so I apologize if some of my Japanese is totally weird! I haven't spoken in Japanese for a while now since I usually speak in Korean and English and Italian because I interact a lot with Koreans and Italians in my hometown and at my college. I didn't start studying Japanese until I was in high school, so I'm still not entirely fluent in it, in terms of writing! I'm a bit better at speaking in Japanese, tbh. But wow studying in Japan! That's exciting! What else are you studying there, besides Japanese? I'm a graphic design major, but I also do illustration too. ^,^ And thank you for the kind welcome and words! Hopin to learn as much as I can from the amazing community here! :> real - Thank you for the welcome~ <3 and LOL that's totally okay! My tastes are kinda varied... XD Yeaaaaaah. I wanted to learn Chinese because I have a lot of Chinese friends and I'm always so curious about what they're talking about in Chinese xD Plus, I've noticed that some words in Chinese sound a little similar to some Korean words. So like, I know a few basic conversational phrases, but reading Chinese? Oh lord no I can't LOL.

Black Widow yeah chinese/japanese/korean are similar to each other because they're pretty close i find that speaking chinese is horrible, because you have to pronounce it correctly or it'll have a whole new different meaning. that's basically how i failed my chinese exam lol

Black WidowOh cool, I'm a graphic design major as well but my focus is innovation and usability. So I'm big on designing concepts and ideas that help people with visual impairments and disabilities packaging design that has Braille and redesigning textbooks. Illustration is awesome, though. I personally know some people who are in it and it's awesome seeing them work on their stuff.
