Quiz Writer
Jake didn’t think he’d become a writer when he was growing up in southern Saskatchewan, Canada, but fate had another idea. After barely squeaking through grade 9 English, by the luck of the draw Jake found himself with the most inspiring literature instructor his small town had ever known, and grade 10 English changed his life! Suddenly, evenings once spent at the hockey rink were spent curled up on the couch with the best of Hemingway, Dickens, and John Grisham. A valedictorian address and English degree at the University of Regina later, Jake is proud to call Heywise his favorite place to pen informative quizzes about all his passion projects. If you’re reading a post and pick up a hint of classic English literature, you’re probably reading something by Jake - especially if you come away feeling like a slightly better person for it.

In 1979, Hayao Miyazaki's directorial debut, The Castle of Cagliostro, failed to become a box office hit. Underwhelming ticket sales meant that producers rejected Miyazaki's subsequent film ideas, even though Cagliostro received the Ōfuji Noburō Award for excellence in animation. The director's potential didn't go unnoticed, however. Toshio Suzuki, the editor of Animage magazine, encouraged Miyazaki to write a manga for their publisher, Tokuma Shoten. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, the manga, was born, and three years later, production on the feature-length anime film began. Getting the movie animated was another challenge. Running time constraints and a fast-approaching deadline forced the filmmakers to change storylines, cut action sequences, and eliminate large crowd scenes. That's why Nausicaä's fate at the end of the film is open to interpretation, while the manga's ending is much more definitive. The movie was released in 1984 to massive critical acclaim, leading Miyazaki and Suzuki to co-found Studio Ghibli in June of 1985. According to the famed director, the Japanese animation studio would not exist without Suzuki.

Our personality quizzes are set up a little differently than your basic trivia quiz, but you’ve probably seen their kind around. Rather than having to choose the right answer from a list of multiple choice options, in this case, there is no “right answer”! (Two plus two will always be four, but every Golden Girls character is equally awesome.)
So, stop stressing. Just click on the answer that suits you best, and enjoy the ride. These quizzes are just for fun but who knows – you might just learn something about yourself along the way!
