That's always a plus.

So, as usual, you will see my typical outbursts of art. Yay?

Also, we were finally dragged into seeing the Twilight movie over at my house and, woe to me, my lil' sister seems to love it. D: Of course, she's only seen the movie, which is better than the book. I like to say this because Cullen comes off more as the psychopath he is and we don't have to see Bella's insistent whining. Always a plus. Still, it wasn't that good a movie, and it was only becuase me and Sev were making fun of it the whole time (just to tease poor Lil' sis) that I didn't just get up part way through to go do something more interesting.

The person they chose for Alice was definitely cute, at least, which made me happy. Since the first book, she had been one of my only favorite characters, if only for her fucking awesome backstory. (I'm still extremely disappointed in Meyer that she didn't go SOMEWHERE with that. I mean, really. Missing out on something as cool as a insane seer stuck in a mental hospital while her doctor crushes on her? All for a pair of morons (one abusive and one just plain stupid) who can do nothing but abuse one another and fake 'true love'? Ugh. )

But you know who really made us drool? James. (I'd say I was surprised, except I'm not, really. XD Why do I always fall hard for the bad guys? ) It didn't hurt that he was so very nearly shirtless, either. Oo la la.

So yeah. Our experience on this end with the Twilight movie. I can haz those 2 hours back, plzkthx?

Also, I'd just like to say I'm disappointed with how troll standards have fallen these days.
:/
I have a couple people bitching about a picture I did for a mod once on Gaia Online, which is really quite ridiculous. One of them is very obviously a troll, but they're just so boring and unimaginative, it's pathetic. If I'm going to have trolls, they should at least be interesting, goddammit!

Anyway, that's all for today. Pfft, it seems like everytime I post in this journal, I have something to bitch about. XD

So that's that.

Also, for those of you that care, I've deleted that silly little Elric vs Cullen thing that's been in my gallery. Seriously, it didn't deserve all the favorites that it got, it's really quite ridiculous. I mean, there were so many things in my gallery that weren't just a tiny bit of white with text on it, and people actually faved that piece of crap? It wasn't even a proper stamp, for crying outl oud. But yeah, anyway, it's gone now. I don't want people coming to my gallery for that, I want them here for the shit I actually draw. :/

Anyway, that's all for today.

Ok, let's start off on a light note. First of all:
Latest chapter of Fullmetal Alchemist.
ALPHONSE. FUCK. YES.
-swoons-
I've always liked Al, but never before have I been squealing with insane delight over anything he ever did.
That was reserved for Envy, and later pride.
But 92.
Just... Shit. Damn.
The more Hiromu Arakawa writes FMA, the more I fall in love with her and her characters.
It's also the more that Envy's place as my favorite character begins to look as if it'll topple. XD
Seriously.

Speaking of manga, I don't know if any of you have ever read Skip Beat, but it's a fantastic and hilarious manga. It's a Shoujo, but it's filled with so much humor and drama and DAMN.
Get to One Manga right now and read it, because the latest chapter was all drama and it just sent shivers up my spine.

That's all the fangirling you'll get from me today.

Now, I've started to get into fanfiction again, well, writing in general. Anyway, I've gotten accounts started up on both fanfiction.net and livejournal.com.
Yes, I know that FF.Net is often referred to as "The Pit". (Honestly, it deserves the nickname at times. -le sigh!- ) However, my damn inner optimist is being oddly persistent again, so here we go!
I go by 'trilies' on both sites, so feel free to look me up! If you won't comment on here, at least swing me a hello over there!

Now, for the rant. I saved the worst for last.

In case you weren't aware, Stephen King, the "King of Horror" himself, was recently in an interview. He was asked about Stephenie Meyer. He said, quote, "Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good." Unquote.

Now, I could kiss King right there. The only way that could have been any better was if Neil Gaiman had said it. Excuse me while I squeal in delight over the mere mention of his name, I recently read The Graveyard Book. Damn. Anyway.

I first saw it on Yahoo and was delighted. After all, hardcore Twilight fans are always going on about how Antis such as myself can't say Twilight sucks (even though it does and we have plenty of arguments as to why it does) because WE have never written a book that's sold really well. Now, here we have some one who HAS sold millions and millions of best-selling books! Hallelujah! That ought to shut them up, right.

Wrong. At some point along the way, I see a news article that allows comments. ([link]rofile_sodaFeed) I'm bored and really should be doing something like writing my multichapter fanfic that I've resolved to finish if it kills me, but hey! I look at the comments anyway.

Sometimes, I really just want to smack humanity. I fear that if I quote any of the comments there, I will lose braincells, so go and take a gander yourself.
Anyway. Just somethings to get off my chest.
Directed towards some of the fantards on there, and those that aren't:

YOU DUMB FUCKS. ARGH. You are so lucky I do not know you in real life, or I doubt I would be able to restrain myself in smacking you upside the head.

If you cannot type correctly, then I doubt you even know what good writing is. You wouldn't recognize it if it bit you in the fucking face. Learn to type, and I will be willing to listen to you. You should've learned this in KINDERGARTEN, ARGH, FUCK.

You have also probably never read his books. DON'T TRY AND PULL THAT. I know, because I, to my great misfortune, have Twilight fans in my classes. Want to hear a quote? "Tee hee, I've never even picked up a book not for class besides Twilight and Harry Potter!" DUMB ARGH, HOLD ON. I need to hit something, I swear. I hate stupid people, and I hate stupid people who are CONTENT with being stupid.

KING IS NOT JEALOUS. THAT EXCUSE DIDN'T WORK THE FIRST TIME, IT SURE AS FUCK AIN'T GONNA WORK THE 354,643,987 TIMES YOU USE IT. ARGH. [/capsrage] No, seriously, why the hell would you think that!? Do you know how many books King has sold? Four times more then the population of Australia. Somewhere around that number, anyway. Guess how many of those got awards or... ]]> ~Trilies http://Trilies.deviantart.com/journal/22431543/ http://Trilies.deviantart.com/journal/22431543/ Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:49:18 PST ....Ok, only two (maybe three? but the first chickened out ), but still. I've never gotten trolls before.
-shakes head-

Of course, there's always the chance that they're actually genuine dicks.
I'm not sure if that's for better or worse, 'tho.
Eh, I still lose my faith in humanity either way.

(Seriously, trolling is such a waste of life. )

Anyway, the first was on my Nai character sheet for that one OCT, name of . Eventually admitted that he was doing it just to get my reaction. In my defense, I'd just finished dealing with a troll on Youtube, and was really not in the mood to deal with another.

The second one, which I'm currently dealing with in the form of ruthless mocking, is on my recently submitted pic of Javan. Name of . First insulted me in Spanish, then finally got the balls to start talking to me in English. I was slightly more calm in this by pointing out that /hey/, he was no awesome artist, either. Then he got pissy at me. It's kind of funny, since the troll is now getting trolled. Oh, the best laid plans... -chuckle-

By the way, am I the only one who just /does not/ understand trolling pictures on DA? I mean, seriously. It's just the biggest waste of time. Go earn a Darwin Award if you seriously have nothing better to do on DA then go and tell some one that they draw like a little kid.
If you're going to criticize a picture, then at least make it constructive. Then you'll have something nice to look at, in due time. Oh, wait, then you'd have nothing to /bitch/ about.

Ugh. Honestly.

Anyway, that's my first rant for '09.

Other than that... I have nothing to say.
It's still the morning, so sue me.

Also, expect another mass upload when I get out of Vegas and back home to my dear scanner.
Happy New Year, everyone.

Although I did shove in that giant upload I'm sure you all saw, I actually haven't been able to get on the computer at all, lately. My bad (especially for my poor roleplaying friends, damn. )
There have been some computer troubles, sooooo...
(I'm on the library computer now.)
Don't expect regularness or other pictures (of which I have a few of) for a few more days.

As I sure you've all been too aware, I entered the Corrupted Core OCT. They just posted the results today, and, surprise, surprise, I'm not on the list.
-shrug- Oh well. XD It's a miracle I even managed to get the damn audition done, honestly, and I'm really just happy I managed to finish something and put it up. Yaaaaaay for me and temporarily defeating my procrastinator nature. At least I feel fulfilled, or something.

I managed to minorily hurt myself last weekend by falling down the stairs, so add that with my constant odd job that I've taken up, my lower spine is in a considerable amount of pain. Like usual, no one cares. ;_; I'm so unloved.

Since I haven't been able to use the computer, I've taken up playing Fallout3 a bunch. GOD I love that game, seriously. (Fallout 3: The only game where you can convince a robot you're Thomas Jefferson.) That does, of course, mean I've booted Judy off of her Tales of Vesparia spree.

Speaking of Judy, she's been suffering from withdrawal, a symptom not unlike what /I/ often suffer! Ha, misery loves company. (I have you to thank for this, Keres. XD If not for our RP, she'd never have been dragged into the online RP scene. Bwahahaha. )

Completely random note: I apparently don't have a laugh, according to friends, family, and friend of family. I have a cackle. Hm. I guess that explains something (like Nai's existence in my head).

I don't really know how to tell you this, but I'm in love with your sister. I think I realized it when I tripped on sesame seeds at th e mental hospital and I saw you pull the clothes off my father. I'm sure you're high enough to understand that there is no solution to this. I'm returning your old lottery coupons to you, but I'll keep the oil stocks as a memory. You should also know that I told in my confession today about eggplant-fetishism.

Greetings to your freaky family,
Trilies






LET'S GET RID OF THAT NASTY OL' RANT, SHALL WE?

Bitches been tagged!







Go over here [link] and do that thing you do.
And no, I have not had sugar.

Also:
Everytime some one comments/faves something of mine, I am startled to realize I actually have watchers.
WOW.

]]> ~Trilies http://Trilies.deviantart.com/journal/20475247/ http://Trilies.deviantart.com/journal/20475247/ Sat, 13 Sep 2008 16:20:29 PDT Warning: Max cursing ahead.

And by "this", I mean openly bash on a series, or a character, or what have you. I find it kind of pointless. I mean, sure, I'll have my opinions on it, but I don't find the need to go crazy on the web gurgling about how terrible it is.
I like to think I have more style and maturity then that.
The "Elric > Cullen" icon was a first, and only because I was amused by the idea.
-still has to put that in scraps-

I find it even a more waste of time to bash on the fans of the series/character/whatever.
I mean, we'll all have our likes and dislikes.
Humanity is great because of our dissimilarities!

However....

Twi-Hards, hardcore Twilight fans for those of you who don't know, are fucking insane.
(And I rarely use the f-word online except when I'm really pissed)
Seriously.
I've heard terrible stories of people who've had their cars keyed, who've been slapped, shoved, screamed at..
Almost anything you can imagine.
And all because the only thing they said was "I don't like Twilight."

What the fucking fuck!?

But just recently, I found something that made me even more pissed then these attacks on Freedom of Speech.

Here's the story, or what I know of it:

Apparently, on the Amazon forums, there's this cool chick named Blue Liz who's pregnant with twins.
She made this site/forum where one could make satire of Twilight, and probably other things (that may not have to do with the series).
Y'know.
Because out of all those crazed fansites positively dedicated to those pieces of slut-trash called books, there have to be some anti sites.

Apparently, a Twi-hard found the site and decided to email Blue Liz.
This is what she wrote.
And I do so motherfucking quote:

"I've been lurking on Amazon for quite some time and been wanting to say this. I can't post on Amazon, although I'm sure you'll do this for me. Stephanie Meyer is a goddess. Putting up with the bull5hit that you and your Dark Siders constantly throw at her is so insane. Calling her out on Ellen? Really? How stupid and childish. Creating a website against her? Your 'recious' satire? Laughable. You Dark Siders are a sore on the literary world.

Faust, Agrippa, Obsidian, Charie, and Shantilly all think you can do no wrong. No one is better than you. Making your videos and writing your 'stories'. Please. If you think for one minute you have any effect on Stephanie, then you really have been living in a dream world. Get over yourselves. I will say it. It is just fiction. It is just a book. Love it or hate it - IT IS A BOOK.

Oh, and Liz, you are one of the worst. Creating the website... whatever. You don't deserve those precious babies you're carrying. They deserve a much better mother than you. For their sakes, I hope you miscarry."

End quote.

See that part I just put in bold?
Do you see how fucking sick these people can get!?
How fucking hypocritical.
Claiming it's just a book, and then hoping that a pregnant woman, who is in no way bad or any variations of the word, miscarries.
It makes me feel positively disgusted, not to mention extremely pissed off.

Now, I know as well as anyone that the world's too fucking overpopulated.
Wars, diseases, et cetera - they're all there for a reason, as morbid and misanthropic as that may sound.
However, I still know how precious a human life is.
Does this little cunt even know how fucking scarring it would be to lose a child like that!?

For some one who gets an abortion, it's one thing.
That person will quite possibly feel that guilt for the unborn child for as long as they live, but it was their choice, and that might given them some form of comfort, however odd it may be.

But for some one who loses their child in a miscarriage....
It's worse.
I couldn't for sure say how worse, but it's still fucking worse.
These women actually try /hard/ to make it through their pregnancy, eager to see their newborn's face, eager for the years ahead in the role of a mother.
They are hopeful and eager to give birth to a new child.
When they suddenly /lose/ that child, with almost no option of choosing for them....
It tears at them.
It fucking hurts.

And this little motherfucking, shit-faced, cock-sucking cunt had the fucking nerve to hope this woman miscarried.
Pardon my language, but I am pissed.
This little bitch is so lucky I wasn't near her when I heard that, or I swear to God I would bludgeon her to death with the nearest object.
No joke.
That's just....
/UGH/.

For those of you who don't know, F.E.A.R. is a PC (now Xbox 360) game with action and horror elements.
It basically involves you as a nameless military person in a squad designed to stop the supernatural craziness that sometimes happen. Crap goes down with a company, stuff, stuff... You know.
Go look it up on Wikipedia and maybe even buy it, if you're the kind of person who likes screaming like a girl while wasting ammo on scary shadows and apparitions.

I recommend it.

Of course, I always like creepy little evil dead kids, so Alma is, of course, a personal favorite for me.
I was always so happy when she popped up on screen.
Of course, I was also pissing my pants, but that's irrelevant.

You know, I'm not quite sure how I got back into F.E.A.R. again.
I played it, ah... last year? I can't remember.
But still, it's been a while.
Maybe I don't have a right to speak, since I have, on random whim, decided to look up Legend of Mana fanart.
Hurr hurr.
But I supposed what really got me into writing a F.E.A.R. fic was this video I found on Youtube.
Even if you haven't played the game, you should still go and look at it.
It has no spoilers.

[link]

((I don't know why I say "you", since I know no one looks at my journal entries anyway. XD ))

Anyway, while watching this with all the glee of your typical fangirl, it suddenly occurred to me how much better Javan (my dear character) could have handled that situation, being the lovable big brother type who easily attracts children guy that he is.
Thus.
POP! Oh my, there goes an idea running by!
A sweet to bitter to bittersweet one at that!
I must write it.



So, yeah, so get ready to meet Doctor Javan Chorus (-maniacal laughter-) in a few of my next Monday.
Well, hopefully.
I'm supposed to be getting shipped off to my Nana's house in the middle of the desert nowhere sometime next week, so you might not.
Argh.

Anyway, I don't got a title yet (that will soon be fixed), but I do have a summary, for when I rejoin Fanfiction.net.
Or just a summary in general.

"The newest doctor was so unbelievably different from the others. Alma didn't know what to make of him."

Fail.

Anyway, actually, has been stolen from.
Apparently, it's her first time getting stolen from.
In a way, that officially means she's made it into the big leagues.
XD

What, I'm serious!
It means you're an amazing artist, in a way.
After all, jealousy is a form of flattery, or some rot.
That's why you don't see anyone stealing from me. XD

Anyway, just thought I should pimp out her problem for her and such.
Whine how I'm not good enough for the rest of the world.
The usual.
XD

(Which is really the only bug you can find out there, along with ants. We're not the East Coast, you bastard.)

So, here I am, about to try and catch bugs.
Did I mention I have a slight case of arachnobia?
And there are lots of arachnids hanging around our house.
ARGH.

It happens.
Great.
(It's also very useful as bait, but let's not get into that...)
Popular bandwagons, like Blam Blam, I can understand those too.
Yet why is it that everytime I post up a pic of my favorite schizophenic, she gets faves almost instantly?
Almost.
Every.
Time.
-left stranded and confused-
How does she do that?

....and yes, this was random.

Let's start with the thing I remember most clearly, which started today.
(besides me pen getting stolen, and this utter bastard stealing my precious orange. It might just be my school, but I think the East Coast is ten time more full of utter prats then so-called Sin City. The hell.)

But I digress.

In darling old art class, our teacher, who is in charge of a thousand other things like being a coach and helping out with the events and whatnot, finally decided, I suppose, that hell if she was doing anything truly art inspiring at the end of the goddamn year. So, just to keep us busy, she told us to get a giant sheet of paper and do an eight panelled comic strip. Now, because I've been working on Happy Land recently, I gleefully squealed and adored the idea immediately.
However, while most of the people around me were thinking of newspaper comic strips and were going to do something witty and funny, the first thing that popped into my mind was more or less along the lines of "Zeb, Sol, ANGST TIME".
So now I'm happily working on that thing, which I would have liked to have nothing at all until the last panel, but what the teacher says goes, I guess.

On a completely different note, I've been reading terrible fanfiction sporkings from fma_spork again, proving once and for all that I am a masochist.
This lead me to the memory of once, a long, long time ago, when I was cruising the Neopets roleplaying boards.
Which, by the way, suck most of the time, but most roleplays you find on the internet tend to, sadly. Or their standards are so fecking high I need a space ship. From the future.
I had run into an FMA board, which was not all that uncommon back in the day. (I wouldn't be able to tell you about it currently, seeing as I forgot about it last summer and never made my way back. Oops.)
The board hostess was cheerfully setting the roleplay in Central, which wasn't all too uncommon.
Because I was bored and waiting for Keres to reply to our FMA roleplay over email (which has long died, the poor thing, although it brought many a laugh and happy moment), I decided "Hey, why the hell not?" and decided to check out the rules and who this chick would be playing.
At least, I'm assuming it was a chick, but it gets tiring having to guess genders all the time on the internet.
Anyway, right away, she said that Ed was her character's /boyfriend/.
The first thought that popped into my mind was not "Oh, goddammit, not a Mary Sue" but actually "Nai Phobos is gonna hafta smack a bitch."
Why, you ask?
Well, in the very same roleplay that I was waiting for, cheerful, manipulative schizo Nai was tormenting Ed at every chance she got, which included threatening him to marry her rage-prone homunculus daughter Patience someday.
(Ed and Pat despise each other, by the way. Nai is just random in her choice of men for her crazy children to wed. )
So, with this in mind, I thought it would be hilarious to throw in Nai, a reluctant Pat who had been hoping to get out of this completely random match, and Seven, who was bored.
I invited Keres to join in too as Ed just so he could wonder wtf this broad was and why she was clinging to him and calling him her boyfriend, but she was busy. I think. I can't remember.
However, I'd just barely gotten into the roleplay before I was rudely called out.
Damn restricted time.
Anyway, what I'm leading to is that just recently, I've come to epiphany: Nai could be the ultimate Mary Sue weapon.
Seriously.
No matter how freaking perfect your damned character is, or what crazy ass powers they have, it cannot possibly compete with Nai's amount of rabid bonkers with a good topping of sadistic crazy bitch.
I now have the mad desire to go around on FMA roleplays looking for Mary Sues so Nai can brutally murder them in a back alley somewhere.
Slightly bitchy of me, yes, but oh the fun.
-evil laughter-

On a more serious note, the computer is infected with a virus thanks to YOUTUBE (gah) and I can't load anything at all.
And the laptop is lagging like a dead donkey.

FMA chapter 83?
ALL MY FAVE CHARACTERS kicking ass?
(Except Envy, but I will humbly hand that victory over to Marcoh. FMA: the only manga where even the weak old men can still kick ass. Besides, Envy is a sneaky bastard. I'm sure he won't just go out like that.)
Also.
GREELIN oh god, I'm laughing too hard at that.
And Olivier and Izumi in the same chapter gave me a heart attack of bliss.

Olivier is so badass. SO. MUCH.
And Izumi is everyone's worst nightmare.
If those two were in the same room...
We'd all die.
Instantaneously.

If you have a decent amount of drawing animal-y type things, all the better.

If you aren't a mega-nerd and can't remember enough pokemon, just take a look at veekun.com.
Very helpful.

Unless you happen to like rants.
Which, in that case.
Read on.

Now, you see, I happen to like reading fanfiction (along with original works, if I can find any on the net, and in RL).
It's kind of heartwarming when you think about it, people who love a series or some other such thing so much and admire the author that they're inspired by a bunch of "what if"s and decide to take up the beautiful hobby of writing.
I support that.
It's great.
I mean, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as long as you don't do something homicidial and/or destructive to humanity, right?
What's best is that some people are just so wonderfully creative or have the most beautiful writing skills, it makes you want to read the things they put up.
I know quite a few fanfictions that have really caught my attention, even if there was something in there that I normally wouldn't like and maybe even hate.
(Example: Dark Humor by Jellymeat on FF.Net. I'm not a Mpreg fan by any means, or even a Edvy shipper, but they really made it work, and the characters were in-character and reacted gorgeously. Seriously.)
However, there are some places where the fanauthor is just...

Well.
Let's say I'd like to find them and do something terrible, illegal, rated M for mass violence, and disturbing to them just for abusing my mind and eyeballs so.
Or I burst out laughing.
Perhaps both.
It'll be the death of me, probably.

Now, I was twitching and having something akin to a seizure when I read a certain, slightly old piece of work which I shall not give the name of (although I do recommend fma_spork on livejournal if you feel particularly self-harming or in the mood to mock or giggle nervously while crawling under your desk in fear).
It was a FMA fanfiction, presumably after the movie. I think?
I'm not quite sure.
Just how that author thought any of the characters, ANY of them at all, were even the slightest bit in-character.
She even screwed up on how there isn't any alchemy on our side of the Gate! How does it escape one that Ed can't use alchemy when (SPOILER) he's stuck under a burning zeppelin? I mean, sounds like a pretty useful way to get a GIANT BURNING THING off of you! I think he made it through the Gate by pure, stubborn will for the most part.

Wait.
Getting off track.
Anyway, let me tell you about the characters, because, like I said, this is a rant, and it's what's happening.
First of all, Ed is apparently crazy for no reason that I can find and can apparently kill people without blinking (missed the Greed episodes, I believe...).
Then you have Al swearing up and down, which boggled my mind. I mean, Al is the sweetest kid ever! The most I think he would go, even as an adult, would be a few "damns" and maybe "crap", because those are pretty alright cuss words that don't raise too much of a fuss. And he is a teenager. It's his right, kinda. But in this, he drops the F-bomb every five minutes and uses the term "bitchy" when he speaks up against his big brother. The big brother he doesn't cuss at and only gets angry at when he does something really stupid or life-threatening.
...I'm not even gonna go into the part where Ed almost rapes Al.
You read that right.
Ed, who, even if he hang-glided off the deep end and would still never hurt his little brother save for those safe sparring practices, raping his beloved, uber close little brother Al.
What. The. Hell.
That makes zero sense.
And I'm currently blocking out the fact that I don't really like incest at all, and it's still %$#ing crazy.
Guh.

Anyway, once I stopped crying under my desk at the character-rape, I decided to look in the reviews to see how many people had flamed that abomination on FF.net. There were a couple, but then again, there were also a couple who were actually defending it.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
I mean, sometimes there's always a bit of a stretch when one writes and/or roleplays a character from a book/anime/tv show or whatever, but there comes a point when everyone else notices "Holy crap, that doesn't even resemble the character at all. WTF is the real one?"

With my mind just completely boggled, I looked for a reason that these people would defend such a nausea-inducing thing.
I ended up finding one.
Here I quote:
"She can write whatever the hell she wants!"

"Hmmmm," I said to myself.
"Maybe this person has a point. After all, freedom of speech and all that jazz, right?"
I leaned back in my comfy computer chair, put on a scholar-like expression and pose, and thought.
"Wait a f$%ing minute!" I suddenly exclaimed. "A person can call another person a bad name and insult them all... ]]> ~Trilies http://Trilies.deviantart.com/journal/17732965/ http://Trilies.deviantart.com/journal/17732965/ Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:22:00 PDT Tagged by Keres.
D:

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

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person should post 8 facts of themselves.
3. Tagged people should write a Journal\Blog about these facts.
4. In the end, tag and name 8 more people.
5. Go to their DA pages and comment saying that they are tagged and hugged.
---------------------------------------

Fact 1:
I am often mistaken for a sociopath, partially because I detest leaving the house and I can be extremely hostile to people. This is wrong. I'm an introvert. GET IT RIGHT, PEOPLE, GAWD. XD

Fact 2:
It's funny, but ever since I've started middle school, I've ended up suspended or whatever (RPCed?) at least once a year. I shouldn't find it hilarious. But I do. That's not good.

Fact 3:
I have a fetish for guys/girls in suits or pulling off gloves with their teeth. Shut up.

Fact 4:
I'm bisexual, although that's not much of a surprise.

Fact 5:
I like yaoi/shounen-ai/whatever you wanna call it. I'm not that big rabid fan, tho'. (Reserved for Judy, THANKS.) And I actually only have a few select pairings that I actually truly like. Except there are such awesome yaoi artists everwhere, I can't help but guiltily fave some pics.

Fact 6:
I almost drown as a baby when I crawled through the doggy door at my grandparents house and fell into a pool. My mother had to do CPR to revive me. And then I went to a hospital. Fuuuun. Maybe that explains my overactive creativity? No, seriously, I know this guy in my advanced arts class who was given some beer as a baby and he is a goddamn genius. Seriously. His GPA is a fricking bajillion.

Fact 7:
My first original characters were three, and the first two began as a pair of talking cats I called (back then) Bad Cat and Mirale. They were brothers, except when I went to middle school, Mirale turned into a girl. I had a best friend I called Jinn back then, and together with her, the two ended up getting a lot of family. (Lol, sex change. XD ) The other character was Nai, although she remained unnamed for a long time, I always was able to distinguish her from my other characters. She was actually pretty mild back then. And now look what's happened. -shakes head-

Fact 8:
I can remember who knows how much useless random crap from my childhood when I lived with my mom in an apartment complex (which went all the way up to the first grade until I moved), but I can't remember what happened last week. Hm.

Extra fact 1:
It's my birthday today, but I've forgotten to tell almost everybody I know. OOPS.

Extra fact 2:
I'm so paranoid of the internet, I may just keep some facts blanked out. (8, for example. )

I AM TAGGING THESE PEOPLE NOW. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. DO IT.
I COMMAND YOU.

-reading off her watchers list-

Heartless Puppet, rhogart, hermionechick8, aka22, SoumaHatori, namineisthebest, Feyd-rauthA, OnTheDarkSide

THERE.
Now begone with you.

"YOU KNOW, I'M LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW FROM SUGAR INVADING MY VEINS, I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY MORE CHOCOLATE. -maniacal twitch, freaky grin-"
"Nonsense, buy another. "

I like her, 'tho, and not just for the chocolate. (I keep misspelling things, I should probably slow down or something, WOO.)

But, but it's allll rosy! Ignoring the fact that I nearly bounced off the walls in all of my early classes, and in some of my later ones. NINJA TURTLES! -spazzes, faints from chocolate rush- X)

Nai: Aaaaaand, that's all in the daily life department! So, how 'bout them Cowboys?
Seven: Stop that. >>
Nai: On the weather charts, it appears to be hailing chocolate! I'm gonna run outside, get hyper, and then make a certain gloomy reaper's life ABSOLUTELY HELLISH. Cya in an hour, Azzy-boy! ;D -gives a big beaming smile before running out with a trick or treat bag-
Seven: ... -sigh- And now we'll go to Javan and Envy with the art report...

-A huge tv screen behind the adorablest talking kitty alchemist you will ever meet flickers on, showing a pair of guys in the middle of an argument.-

Envy: -bleeding from headwound and really cheesed- Listen, you pale-skinned prick, next time you even think of ramming my head into a wall-
Javan: -glare- You're the one who tried to use a chainsaw on me.
Envy: You earned it.
Javan: For commenting on your hair?
Envy: Damn straight.
Seven: ...-coughs-
Envy: Huh? Shit, we're on...
Javan: Due to unfortuanate circumstances where Tri was banned from her computer and scanner because she tried to murder some one at her school-
Envy: Which I certainly didn't encourage and the situation is overexaggerated anyway. >>
Javan: -rolls eyes- It might be a while until she's able to put up any more pictures. It'll probably be an explosion when she does, however, so feel free to just delete all her updates on your devwatch and just browse her gallery when that happens...
Envy: -pushes Javan off screen- In other news, I'll be joined by another muse! Be prepared to be bombarded with a few pictures of another nutjob~!
Road: -appears behind Envy, munching on candy- Mm? Talkin' about me?

Seven: -abruptly turns off giant screen- I don't we need to hear anything else on that matter... And.... That's pretty much it....
Flair: -walks in, looking confused- What's Nai doing outside with all that chocolate? One bar almost impaled her in the head... ._.

Characters we've roleplayed (or put in stories) have each been asked to pull a number out of a hat. There's five for both me and her, so that makes ten characters total...

No one will know exactly who got what until we draw the scenes of our characters getting their receieved gifts!
Well... Except for Nai who... made it pathetically, blatantly obvious which gift was her's...

On Kere's team, they all received....

1. A book labled "How to Deal with Psychos Without Dying". (What the....?)
2. A rather large first aid kit (fully stocked!) with the words "You'll probably need this! " written on it in sharpie.
3. A ridiculously large gift box wrapped up in sparkly wrapping paper. When opened, everyone's favorite chimera alchemist pops out and hugs/glomps/squeezes to death the receipient. (If one of the archangel brothers, current or previous, they also get an airhorn to the ear. Eee...)
4. A suitcase of full of grenades (none armed). A few appear to be missing... >>;
5. A transmuted chess set, with the black pieces being dogs and the white pieces being birds.

Oh, that's real subtle, Nai...

On my side, we received...

1 will give a Toaster
2 A music box
3 a poisonous scorpion in a spring loaded box ._.;
4- Books >>
5- a snowangel and a badly built sculpture made out of ice

Oh... Oh my...

Er, anyway, time for updates!

I've decided to do a bunch of other projects besides the themes thing and added a bit more history to the Phobos family. Well, to be honest, they have enough history that they could pass in just about any RP, probably, or story, but JEEZ. It's just so fun to add on and on. More on that at the end of this...

One of the other projects I've already finished (and just need to post on here) is basically characters representing playing cards. They're mostly from me and 's roleplay, because good lord that pumps out so much inspiration. Seriously. If I didn't suck at comic making, I'd take a go at it. As it is, I don't want to butcher an awesome roleplay. -cough-

ANYWAY, the RP basically crossovers Keres's Blacklight idea and FMA... And, well, the Phobos family hopped in too, because they knew they could easily overpower me. Dammit, Nai, stop leading a revolution. So expect to see characters from all three of those in the series. Which I'll upload as fast as I can, because some of them are actually pretty neat.

((Haha, Azzy's all alone in the clubs cards. I couldn't get anyone in there with him.))

I'll also probably take a small break from the art challenge and do a few independent drawings, mostly of my other characters. The Phobos crew get too much love. Fox, you know I love you, really...

Oh! And I'll try and draw some original characters from a story of my own that I hope to get typed up one day. It's called Obsidian Mirror and I've decided to finally try and get my ass going on it. MAYBE IT'LL WORK, WHO KNOWS.

For the final thing, which probably none of you care about, I decided to do some more thinking on the Phobos history. In general terms, their family basically generated from very rich and powerful merchants. Some of these merchants weren't exactly /legal/, but heeeeey. A little crime in the family never hurt anybody!

(Note: Never listen to any advice I give out. Ever.)

In more recent history, which basically means Nai, Flair, and Enrica/Seven, something was generated from a roleplay me and my ssiter did. The conversation before basically went:

Sister: We should totally do a young Phobos roleplay.
Me: -blink- But... They already have a lot more history then some of my other characters do... XD;
Sister: You can never have too much history! :3

So yeah, she finally conned me into it. X3 And somehow, in the course of that... Seven had kids. I'm not sure how, but I'm pretty sure I know why. Which I'll actually post when I draw pictures of the little buggers.
It's actually kinda funny. Well, to me, anyway. Having kids seems like the kind of thing Seven would do just to get it out of the way. Do it early so she can go off and piss of supernatural entities with her older sister. Oh god, I love that FMA-Blacklight roleplay so mucn now....

So yeah, that's basically it for the journal thing.
Now it's time to forget this for another few months! Yay!

I would just like to mention that I hate the cold. >> Yes.
But now that things have finally settled in, my mum, step-mum, a few others, and myself have managed to get my dad to buy me a freaking scanner.
I have yet to see any orders for a scanner, but hey. Peer pressure is good for something after all!

So expect a whole lot of pictures to be uploaded at some point... Preferably before the month is up. It'd kinda suck to post any Halloween pics in November... >>

Also, for all you following FMA with ch. 76 and such like the fans you know you are...
I have just a few things to say about it. >3

1. Hoho-papa, this is why we don't talk to strange things in jars. Ever. Especially smiling things.
2. Love Olivier Armstrong. Love her now, because she is just that awesome. xD
3. Manga!Pride is just so adorable. In that psychotic, apathetic kinda way.
4. I'd feel sorry for you, Ed, but I am an evil witch and Envy fan/roleplayer (same thing? XD), so I'm just going to lean back in my chair and laugh maniacally.

That's all. x3
