Shake Well Before Using

Aisthesis seems to be picking up, and somehow, I am managing to keep up for the most part. I will fall behind on a post here and there, but that is alright. At least I'm doing better at getting about ten or so posts in per night. It helps when I can focus on a few characters at a time.
I have decided to move fifteen of my Aisthesis characters to the TBK list which can be viewed under the home page of Steampunk Guinea Pig. The moved characters are:
Balthazar Taghvei, Caspar Taghvei, Melchior Taghvei, Sagremor Pendragon, Kaius Pendragon, Logan Shield, Acario Ravenscroft, Reo Kapura, Jareth Oltorrier, Decibel Rex, Sora Abendroth, Iratian Draconis, Galen Sorabella, Leiselotte Oltorrier, and Majoric Nightingale.
You shall notice that the list is compromised of characters I never or almost never have rped. Since they do have bios and have been on the site for some time now, they will be top priority for being removed from the TBK list should I choose to take someone off.
I did this because I am making more characters in more needed places and these guys just frustrate me in all honesty. It's hard to keep creativity flowing when I feel bogged down. While I love having 90+ characters, it can be a bit overwhelming trying to keep up with them all. I am determined to one day get some of them involved in things, but for the time being: no. I do need to make room for my new people after all.
Speaking of, I have been getting bios cranked out in due course. I have a fully finished character in each of our new families (Nikolai Krutikov in Krutikov, Strix Vespa in Vespa, and Tosuto in Sakayama). I have three more characters plotted for Sakayama and one for Krutikov, though the Krutikov might be scrapped for later. He just does not appeal to me all that well.

I finished Higurashi no Naku Koro ni FINALLY! Ohmygosh. That first season ended waaaaaay differently than how I expected. Usually everyone dies in the end. That's just Higurashi's thing. But the final episode, while everyone died, they did not die the way the show set it up to be.
Now I'm nearing the end of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, which is called the series of answer arcs. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is typically called the series of question arcs in that we are presented with several stories that make us question certain things. While a few things are explained in the question arcs, such as the curse, the character's backstories, who Satoshi was, and other little things like that, it kept giving us more things to wonder about. But now the Kai series is answering just about everything for us, including what sort of strings are being pulled behind the scenes. Kai has some of the most gripping arcs ever. Several times I was in tears. While this is not a show I recommend for the faint of heart, if you can stomach pure, raw psychological horror and the gruesome deaths perpetrated by and enacted on children as young as seven, then by all means: watch this series. It is often called horror, but it is not the horror you usually see. It definitely redefines the genre and makes you think and question everything that happens in every storyline. So if you can handle torture and murder, go watch. Otherwise, just be happy knowing that there is an amazing show out there called Higurashi ^^

On a less gruesome but in no way less depressing note, I stumbled across a gem called Les Miserables Shoujo Cosette.
Yes: a Les Miserables anime.
This show was intended for younger audiences and it shows in very subtle ways. They removed the prostitution bit and toned down (well, pretty much removed entirely) the blood in the final battle. But the show was still miserable, and I cried. A lot. Like a baby. About as much as the musical with Wolverine, but just spread out over 50 episodes instead of three hours.
What I love about anime in general is that with a series, you get to be with the characters a lot more. Things also are better flushed out. This show proves it above all. I actually learned all the names of the Friends of the ABC and I was so heartbroken by each of their deaths. Fantine and Cosette's trials were also spanned out over ten to maybe twelve episodes, which meant more sadness. Like holy cow, Cosette got beaten and starved at least three times each episode. THE MISERY! But the good points were that, in a show, we do see that Marius and Cosette's relationship was not just a one night, insta-gro love fling. It was developed and worked on for a few months. Even though they had the whole "love at first sight", they had a few months to actually develop together and grow in their affection and friendship. It was a very beautiful thing.
Another highlight of the show was that, as a show, they were able to include a lot more of the book than the movie was able to. I mean, they actually include Eponine's sister! And that Gavroche is her brother. And they have the Bishop Myriel show up more. He was such a crucial character to the books, and I was so happy to see more of him and whatnot in the anime. Probably not as much as I would have liked to see, but quite a lot more of him nonetheless.
Also: total change of opinion on Eponine. In the movies, we see her as the good hearted girl that just got stuck with sucky Thenadiers. Honestly, she was a spoiled, selfish brat who HATED Cosette, and they show this in the anime. While there are points where we feel a little bad for her, the fact that she would rather Marius run to the dangerous and deadly barricade than see Cosette is rather selfish and cruel. And her blatant desire to NEVER let Cosette see happiness is kind of... mean...
But she is redeemed in the end, which was good. And yes, I was sad when she died.
But enough random ramblings. You can see the show in full HERE.
Fun facts: Cosette is the actress behind Nunally in Code Geass and Javert is voiced by the guy who plays the murdering father in Ju-On.

Speaking of, don't watch Ju-On >.> Just don't.... please... I didn't get sleep for four days thanks to that dumb movie and my overactive imagination...
But on the bright side of that, I finished Les Mis so fast because I pulled those four all nighters xD

Another note on movies, just for the sake of rambling...
Watchmen. Go watch. It is not your typical superhero movie at all. There is some nudity in there >.< eew. But the movie itself is fantastic. Rorschach is my favorite superhero ever now! He's like, Batman, but he kills people. Violently. Like OMG. But he is AMAZING AND I LOVE HIM! <3
Death Note. All three movies are the bomb. Usually the live actions of an anime suck, but not these. The Death Note movies were so beautiful, and they gave us the ending to Death Note we all wanted but never received. If anything, you have to watch it to see L. The actor who plays L is the most amazing actor I have ever witnessed. He is LITERALLY L in human form. He plays L to a perfect and absolute T, as if L himself crawled out of the anime to grace our presences. And as a fun fact, the one who plays L was actually the voice of Gelus in the anime xD
Granted, some downsides to the movies were that the relationship between L and Light was not done as well as we would have liked, and they did have to combine two arcs to get the plot going, but the movies were still extraordinary and should be seen by all Death Note fans!


That's going to be all for now, minions. My bed calls to me. Peace off.

In Which Misunderstandings Are Made and Everything Is Overacted to the Tune of Tiny, Sad Violins

In Which Misunderstandings Are Made and Everything Is Overacted to the Tune of Tiny, Sad Violins

Today was the day, Ciel thought. Everyone was going to make a big fuss about it, as usual. He already knew about the preparations. He hated making a big deal about it, in fact, if anything, he wished it would just pass by without anyone knowing. But no. Someone let slip, and now the whole house was in a hushed frenzy of getting things ready for what was to come.
Ciel was just sitting in the dining room drinking grape juice from a teacup because he was too lazy to find a real cup. The sky was blue outside and the grass was green. He was having trouble drinking the grape juice because it required taking off his mask.
“EVERETTE!” came a scream.
Ciel hurriedly pulled his mask down and threw the teacup behind him. “Yes?”
The dining room door burst open just as the teacup smashed against the wall. The person who entered, Rosie, jumped a little, and screamed at the sudden noise.


It was a beautiful day outside. The sky was blue and the grass was green. Vigilance took a breath and surveyed the grounds with a calculative gaze. But something odd disturbed the green. He walked over and pushed a stick aside. The morning newspaper had been carelessly chucked over here. Where the stick came from, he did not know nor care, but littering was bad for the environment. He had to be vigilant against such perils.
Vigilance picked up the newspaper and was about to go chuck it in the trash by the garage, when the headline caught his eye. “MASKED MAN STRIKES AGAIN! DEATH TOLL RISES TO FOUR!”
Suddenly he heard screaming and the sound of breaking glass.
He spun around and saw red dripping down the window.
“BLOOD!” he shrieked. He ran across the yard and crashed through the window.
There was Rosie lying on the floor. Red stained the carpet. Ciel was standing over Rosie looking… very masked.
“YOU KILLED HER!” Vigilance shouted, pointing at Ciel. “So you’re the masked murderer!” Dark and heavy orchestra music filled the air.
“What….? No….” Ciel said with a sigh.
Vigilance was having none of that. He pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger, but suddenly he was dead and a huge smear of blood was left behind.
“Not again…” Ciel sighed.


Rosie had forgotten that today was the day! She had to go get Ciel and distract him while the final preparations were prepared. He could not be trusted. He was terrible at keeping secrets.
“Everette!” she shouted, running through the house, looking here and there for him. He was a terrible liar, but a great hider apparently.
“Hey, Milo!” she called out, seeing her friend in the living room. “Seen Everette?”
“Um, I think he was in the dining room,” Milo said, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. They flashed dramatically to accentuate the epic nerdom. He was wearing a neon blue shirt that said “My Anaconda Want Some.”
Eew… Rosie thought.
“Thanks,” she said, sprinting back down the hall.
“Everette!” she shouted, throwing open the door.
Suddenly there was a loud crash. Rosie slipped and shrieked as she lost her footing. Then she hit the ground, and everything went black.


Milo could not believe it! The very first edition of the Hobbit was on sale on an obscure etsy shop for only seventy dollars! Drooling a flood all over the couch, he scrolled down the page to the “Add to Cart” button.
“No!” he wailed as he saw the laptop was down to 0.1 percent battery. “Don’t die on me baby!”
The “Warning!” kept flashing on his screen. Tears streamed down his face as his precious electronic waifu threatened to die on him. He waded through his tears and drool and braved a thousand dragons to reach his charger.
Ding! The laptop started charging.
“YAY!” he cried in victory. A thousand villagers came out to praise him for his heroic efforts, then quickly left before Loki noticed. But at least they left some cake.
Munching on cake, he clicked the “Add to Cart” button. He just had to fill out this payment form and it would be on its way!
“Hey, Milo! Seen Everette?”
He looked up to see Rosie in the doorway. A golden wind blew her hair around her face and shoulders while sparkles danced about her in rays of sunshine and rainbows. And he was definitely sure that there was plenty more cleavage showing than really was.
At least he remembered to wear his girl magnet shirt.
“Um, I think he was in the dining room,” Milo said, smirking. Smirks are a sure way to a girl’s pants. He pushed his glasses up his nose and they flashed dramatically.
“Thanks!” and she was gone.
“B-but… my chick magnet shirt,” he moaned.
Everything went black save the lone spotlight on his hunched form. “Why…. Why does no one love me…” Tears waterfalled down his face.
Rialtzo sailed in on a dingy and pulled him and his laptop into the boat. “Relax…” she said in a monotone voice. She bailed out the flood of tears out the window with a bucket.
He stopped and went back to his etsy shop page. Rialtzo finished bailing the room out and put him back on the couch. Then she dragged the boat back outside.
Suddenly, Milo heard a scream, a crash, more crashing.
“What the…?” He would investigate, but laziness was crushing him. And besides, THE HOBBIT! But he had to go, didn’t he. Maybe it was Rosie doing something sexy.
So he meandered into the dining room only to see blood everywhere and Rosie on the floor and a random, dismembered hand, and Ciel standing there looking bored.
“What the hell?” he shrieked like a schoolgirl.
Ciel looked up at him. “Um… it’s not what you think!” he said quickly, holding his hands in front of him.
Milo went to Rosie’s side. “Rosie?” He shook her gently. “Rosie? Are you okay? Wake up?” She did not seem dead.
Rosie opened her eyes and slowly sat up. “Ugh, what… what happened?” She looked up at Ciel. Milo did too.
“Um…” Ciel looked back and forth between them and the hand. “W-well, you screamed… and grape juice… and Vigilance attacked me… it happened so fast!”
Rosie started shaking. “It… it’s all my fault!” She broke out into tears. “It’s all my fault!” she wailed.



Rage was enraged, as usual. Stupid Loki took away his car privileges. Why? Sure, he crashed the Delorean, and the Gran Torino, and the Ford, and the BMW, and the Volkswagen Beetle, but no one gave two poops about the Beetle anyway. Why did Loki have to go and do that? He was overreacting.
As he stomped down the hall to go complain to Alastor, he heard a loud commotion downstairs.
And then the feeling of being ripped apart and… killed…
Frozen in shock and horror, he could do nothing but stand in the hall. Then, as if pulled by invisible strings, he rushed down the stairs, following the compelling sense of death to the dining room.
When he burst in, all he heard was, “It… it’s all my fault!”
The room was covered in blood. Milo and Rosie were crouched on the floor, the latter sobbing and repeating that same phrase. Ciel was standing by the blood, looking horrified.
Rage rounded on Rosie. “What the hell happened here?!” he roared.
“I got him killed, it’s all my fault, he died and I got him killed…” she sobbed.
“It’s ok, it’s ok,” Milo murmured, but Rage was having none of that.
“YOU DID WHAT?! YOU KILLED HIM! YOU MONSTER! THERE’S NOTHING LEFT!” Rage whipped out his gun.
“Calm down… Rage,” Ciel said.
“NO! THIS HARPY KILLED VIGILANCE!”
“He can’t truly be dead you know…”
But Rage was no listening. He pulled the trigger.


Alastor stared intently at his target, eyes burning with excitement. A Cheshire grin split his mouth wide open. Lifting the hammer high above his head, he brought it down with a tremendous clang.
“AHHHHH!!!!!”
Alastor winced. “That did not hurt, idiot…”
“You’re so frickin creepy when you do that…” Thane growled.
“Only because I enjoy it.”
“Making me suffer? You’re supposed to hammer the dents OUT of my arm, not surpass previous work.”
Alastor huffed. “Alright, princess, you give it a try.”
“What? Noooo, that’s not what I meant,” Thane wailed as Alastor dropped the hammer in his lap. “Alastor-senpai, don’t leave me!” Thane clung to him like a koala bear. “I can barely bend the elbow! Pleeeeaaaase!!!”
Suddenly, he felt something. Alastor’s eyes widened in horror as he felt that all too familiar feeling of one of his personalities being ripped away from him. “Dead…”
Thane was quiet. “What is it?” he asked.
Alastor pried him off and hurried to the door, just as shouting and a gunshot reached his ears. He threw open the door. “Something’s happening downstairs! Come on!”
Thane scrambled to his feet and hurried after him. They ran down the two flights of stairs. By pure instinct, Alastor ran for the dining room.
What greeted his eyes was an absolute mess, and as soon as he neared Rage, he subconsciously recalled to himself everything that transpired.
He had shot at Rosie.
Rage was looming in the doorway, furiously pulling the trigger as it clicked in that empty way guns do when no bullets are left. He had emptied the entire clip. Milo was lying on the floor, holes peppering his body like swiss cheese. Partially under him was Rosie. She was staring up at the ceiling, her eyes dazed, gasping for air.
Alastor grabbed Rage and shoved him back, but this new emotion only added to his other form’s strength. “Rage! STOP IT!” He screamed.
“She killed Vigilance!” Rage bellowed.
“You idiot! YOU IDIOT!” Alastor crumpled to the ground, holding his head in his hands. “You can’t die… none of you can… YOU’RE JUST EMBODIMENTS OF MY PERSONALITY!”
Thane set a hand on Alastor’s shoulder. “Alastor… clam down…”
“I’m clam…” Alastor murmured. “I’m perfectly calm…”
“Then who’s that guy?” Thane asked.
Alastor looked up. Standing before him was yet another him. But this one seemed shrouded in a darkness Alastor could not see, but feel.
“Alastor, snap out of it,” Thane shouted at him.
But at once, the room seemed to vanish. The self that was dark wrapped him in its embrace. Immediatley, his entire world plummeted. There was nothing but heavy, oppressive darkness. “I… I killed them…”
He did not even notice the dark one pressing the gun to his head. In fact, he welcomed it.
And then Rage and the darkness were gone.


Thane stared at the bodies. By the time he tore his gaze away, it felt that hours had passed. When he looked up, his expression as reflected in the eyes of Ciel.
“We have to move them,” Ciel said. “Loki isn’t going to be home for a while. This is not the way to break this to him.”
“That they’re all dead!” Thane snapped, his voice catching in his throat. He buried his face in his hands. “Oh God… how did this… why did… why did they die?”
“That was his Depression,” Ciel murmured. “I didn’t think it could be so strong…”
“ALL OF THIS! WHY? WHY DID ANYONE DIE!”
“Thane! Calm down,” Ciel said, calming his own voice in the end. “Listen, just… stay there. I’m going to call someone. He can… can… take care of the bodies…” Ciel left the room quietly and went to the phone in the hall.
Thane sat there in a daze until Ciel returned. He placed a hand on Thane’s shoulder. “Let’s put them in the truck.”

They spent the next half hour wrapping each body in a sheet and placing it in the truck. Thane felt too shaken up to drive, but Ciel definitely couldn’t.
“It’s going to rain soon,” Ciel said, staring up at the sky.
Thane looked at the open flatbed of the truck and the bodies wrapped and neatly lying side by side. “Everette, should we switch trucks?”
“No,” Ciel said. “It will take too long. Let’s go.”
Thane reluctantly got in the driver’s seat and Ciel in the passenger. Thane started the truck and began to wind down the gravel stretch.
They were both quiet. The events were just too shocking to be talked out. And what else was there to discuss now.
Alastor, Thane thought, he was my best friend…
Suddenly, the truck bounced harshly, sending a hard jolt through Thane’s tailbone.
Ciel suddenly spun around in his seat. “Oh no, one bounced out!”
Thane choked on air and felt his stomach churn. Oh god… one of their friends. He looked back over his shoulder. Sure enough, one of the bodies had bounced out and rolled into the grass.
“THANE IN FRONT OF YOU!”



Rialtzo sighed and plopped on the ground. “Stupid Milo… stupid boat…” she muttered. She had finally dragged the boat back to the docks where it was supposed to be. Of all times for the boat trailer to fail, it had to be the day Milo flooded the living room.
She felt her phone vibrate and she retrieved it from her pocket. It was a text from Loki.
“Got a call from Everette. He said something bad happened at the house so I’m on my way home. Please let me know if everyone’s okay.”
“Why is he texting me? I’m not in charge while he’s off doing who knows what,” she muttered. Well, she pretty much was in charge. It just wasn’t official. Shoving her phone back in her pocket, she jogged back to the house.
As she ran over the gravel drive, she noticed the light getting dimmer. She paused and turned, looking up. “Ugh, stupid clouds. Is it gonna rain? I hope not…”
Suddenly, an engine revved behind her. She spun around as a massive weight slammed into her body.


Lyra saw it all from the window. The bodies piling in the truck. The truck running over Rialtzo. Everette and Thane… she knew this place was nothing but a dream. Of course there was evil here. Why did she ever get the notion this was going to be a safe and happy home?
She saw Thane and Ciel get out of the truck. They made a big scene around the body and loaded it into the truck. Then, as if an afterthought, they drove back to the house.
“They know I’m still here…” she murmured. “But I won’t let them get to me…”
She had been preparing. She tied the final cords together and set the tripwire.
Then she grabbed her gun and rushed to the stairs. She hid by the railing in the shadows.
“I won’t let them kill me too…” she murmured. “I won’t… I will stop them. I’ve trapped them now.”
She held her breath as the door opened. Thane stumbled in, setting off the tripwire. When Everette closed the door behind them, there was an audible click.
“Did you hear that?” Everette asked.
“Dead… all dead…” Thane murmured. Then he burst out laughing.
He’s insane, Lyra thought, gritting her teeth. They both are. Killing everyone in cold blood. As if someone would not notice. I did.
She gripped the gun tight in her hands. I’m sorry, everyone…
She stood up and cocked the pistol. “It’s over you two!” she snapped.
Ciel and Thane looked up in surprise.
Thane had stopped laughing. His pupils were contracted to small points. He looked pale and was shaking really bad. He stared at her, silent, then said quietly. “What… what are you doing?”
“I saw what you did!” she snapped, not bothering to beat around the bush. “You killed everyone!”
“No, lyra,” Thane said, “That’s not-“
“SHUT UP!” she snapped.
Ciel took a step back.
“Don’t bother running,” Lyra growled. “I trapped the door. You open that and a bomb will go off.”
Ciel flinched. “You know that we’re standing over the armory, right?”
“So what?”
“This room won’t just go up!” he snapped. “It’ll set off the whole house!”
“Then you definitely won’t survive,” she growled. “Everyone will be avenged!”
“What is your plan?” he asked. His voice was oddly calm.
She huffed. “Loki’s coming home eventually. I’ll text him to use the back door only. Then together… together we’ll put you in your place.” She bit her lip. “It’s my brother’s house. He has the authority to sentence you.”
Ciel’s eyes widened. “Lyra! No! Call him now! He’s coming home early! He’s already here!”


Loki shut the car door and sighed. “Trouble at the house already… I leave to get ONE bowl of icecream at the shop by myself, and the world crumbles. Eesh…” He ran a hand through his hair.
The house seemed oddly quiet. He frowned.
“Must be the calm before the storm,” he said, walking up the front steps.
He crossed to the front door. Already he could hear some shouting.
“Sounds like Lyra’s voice,” he muttered. “Whatever could be going on.”
He opened the door…



Ciel stood in the silence as he stared at the wreckage of the Norcross House. Tiny, sad violins filled the air with their sweet sound. The charred remains of the corpses of his family members stretched ashen fingers to the sky, as if in one final plea for help. Help he could not give.
A cold wind blew. A partially burned party hat bumped against Ciel’s foot. He picked it up and put it on his head as the rain began to fall.
“Happy Birthday to me…”

REAL LIFE
My friend is so sick, so I have to get up eaerly to get the kids to school. ;-; And then my brain's all like: "Let me give you horrifying dreams about being alone in the house with a crazy kidnapping-rapist-serial killer! Now you'll never be well rested!"
Thanks, brain.

Um...
I work on Friday...

Screw it. Life is boring.

Oh, I did go on a 3 and 1/2 hour long walk on Monday. Don't do it people! Especially in 70 degrees in the sun with no water. I almost drank from a lake of run off from the freeway. I was THAT thirsty.


RP
Um, not too much happening here either.
Trying to keep going on with the Desai stuff. Wrapped up some things on Aisthesis.


ANIME
I finished Kuroko no Basuke, seasons 1 and 2. ;-; So many feels... I definitely liked it more than I should have. I just got so into it. I've never been into sports like that before, but it was just so intense.
Though, season two, I noticed their mad attempts at introducing fanservice. Bruh, yah don't need it. Glowing eyes and basketballs are good enough.
I absolutely love Kuroko and Hyuga and Kiyoshi! And apologetic mushroom. I love him too! ^^

So now I'm starting 07-Ghost. I decided to spare my brain from the horror that is episode one. But then found out episode two aint the shiz either.
MOOOOOOAOAAAAAR info dumps!
So, apparently...
He gets rescued. There are three nuns. Future harem maybe? Probs not. One guy has a Japanese name. One dude is named "Miss" (Frau). The church people wear veils. Church people are actually portrayed like actual Christians for once *impressed*. Okay wait, they let a pervert be a priest... forget what I said. MC no longer has amnesia. A church is peaceful -go figure. This silver flower protects pplz. Interrogation scene does not include torture (or a lap dance). Staring at pplz = interrogation. Choosing between friend and family: totes saw it coming (also, the one time you wish you didn't have a loving family, eh?) There was a war. There was a death god. There were seven ghosts. There are nun-doll-things. There are seven guardians who are the seven ghosts. That church has one flippin massive organ for their blue whale organist cuz they dun discriminate yo. The priests can all teleport (Teito ran out of the room from them and then into another room and bamf: the priests are right there!) There's a curse. The church lifts it. There were rainbows. There are these eyeballs that protect churches. Purple dude is really flipping tall. Teito is really flipping small. Apparently child abuse is a thing because no one thought to take off the darn chains. Maybe they're waiting for him to bleed to death to save them the trouble... that or child abuse is a thing.


AND THAT WAS EPISODE TWO!

LIFE
So Liam is dragging me into Camp NaNo. Since I have nothing better to do, I may as well finish writing Write This Down. I've just been in the worst depression since September. I had to drag my heels all through November last year. Hopefully camp will be better.
I had a high for a while, but it seems like I'm crashing again. Gotta push through it though. As usual.
Tomorrow I go in for a job interview. Hopefully that will help.

Anyway.

So I will be getting back into Write This Down come April. This will hopefully mean more updates on wattpad. And maybe even a finally finished novel. I've been doing some touch ups to Death Eaters here and there for the past few days, but other than that, I really have not been writing, which is bad. RP of course, does not count in this case.

ANIME
I finally started the first episode of Kuroko season 2. I was distracted from my anime list because I was showing off Baccano! to my friend.
She is probably starting Cowboy Bebop next, so I should be knocking two anime off my list in one go, which would be nice. I have, however, determined that I won't watch Kuroko season 3 until it is fully out. I'm just horrible at keeping up with weekly releases, so I'm just not going to bother...
Like even Attack on Titan I'm probably not going to keep up with the new episode releases when Season Two comes out. I just do not do the weekly release thing. I tried it before, and failed miserably. I prefer binge watching.
As for my list of anime I'm going to be watching in order of first to last (as far as I've planned), here it is. It's also on the Catbug Squirtle Feels Club of Doom.

Kuroko no Basuke 2
07 ghost ((MAYBEEEEEE (i'd rather read it >.>))
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
(and subsequent sequels)
[c] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control
Moribito
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Future Diary
Rurouni Kenshin


I just really need to get some of those off my list. I've been dragging Higurashi out forever. I'm on the last episode for goodness sakes >.>
Some might take me longer, like FMAB and Rourini Kenshin, but that's because they're so long.
I have not decided what I will be watching after RK. It depends if anything gets nominated to me or not.
I was going to have Cowboy Bebop on after 07-Ghost, but since it looks like I'm watching it while I watch Kuroko, I decided to just not put it there.

For Indoor Use Only

Whelp, I finished the first season of Kuroko! YAAAY!
I like this anime a lot more than I expected or probably should. But out of the three sports animes I've seen, it is by far makes the most sense, and actually involves sports.
The other two were Free and Blassreiter. Free... eh... ok... I admit I have not seen enough to form a valid opinion. Blassreiter is about these metallic robot demons possessing people with special people taking on advanced forms with weapons and shtuff to combat each other and the demoniacs in a Highlander-esque fashion to become the one robot to rule them all... but really it's just a cleverly disguised motorcycle racing anime... Granted, Blassreiter has awesome battles and some pretty interesting characters, but really, it is a sports anime.


I will be starting Season 2 of Kuroko soon... like tonight or something.


As far as my self-proclaimed challenges go, I HAVE been drawing a little and writing even less. I will put up last night's drawing soon.
I am getting better at proportioning as well as salvaging crappy drawings. My attempt at a shorter dude turned into a neko kid. It would have been so much worse if I had not figured out how to make it work o.o ugh. But hey! I'm learning stuff! Yay!
Plus, nekos!

I've also been having waaaaaay to much fun with the rinmaru anime character avatar maker game. o.o Eesh.

Naturally Flavored with Other Natural Flavors

Again, no brilliant title idea. >.>


So! ARTWORK!

I did get my artwork in yesterday and now I have pics of ALL the arts. I will start off with old stuffs first and finish with a cute chibi!
REMEMBER! Click the images for full size!

Anarawd and Train ;__;

I wish I had put these up long ago so I could have shown them to Shady.

She rped Train, a demigod son of Apollo and I rped Anarawd, a demigod son of Astrape and a part of Zeus' royal guard. They were the best of friends, like holy crap! Train was actually blind, but he never told Anarawd. I forget why, something to do with Train's insecurity and how he was just happy that someone trusted him and believed in him and didn't baby him...

They had some pretty intense rps. Some of the best ever, really. I miss my babies ;__;

This is Anarawd in his armor. I just really liked how it turned out.

Anarawd again.

He had been forced to execute over a hundred children of Zeus, and he lives every day trying to seek redemption for it. He's always this positive, happy-go-lucky guy, but he really suffers inside. Train and Anarawd had a really cool dream sequence rp involving Anarawd's internal struggle over this, and it was so sweet, and eventually led to Anarawd rising above everything to find the redemption he desperately craved, and denying himself the desire to die.

The feather is symbolic of what happened in the dream.

The crying boy.

I really, really love how this picture turned out. As you can see, I was once capable of drawing.

Recent stuff!

This is Shie'o, the Goddess of Violation who is from the Arcane Religion on Mercury.

Him.

An ambiguous yet extremely important and central figure in my novel FIX. Him is the leader of a cult.

A character sketch of Saturne. I was attempting to make him look anorexic. He just looks weird now...

THE COMIC!

Saturne Won't Apologize

So this comic is of my new character Saturne who is the apprentice to these wizard-like people so that he will one day become the incarnate form-type-deal of the Dragon God of Destruction.

Yah.

I was talking about him with Dawny because I saw she made a char named Saturn, and I was all "Omg! Coincidences!" and I shared my bio. And then that popped into my head.

That.

 (me talking to Dawny) I just had this weird image of him hanging out with Kuroko and Kagami. And Saturne gets mad, so he blows someone up. And Kagami's all "WTF!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!" and then Saturne says in a Llamas with Hats Carl voice, "I will not apologize for art." And Kagami shakes him around like a ragdoll while Kuroko just stands there like, "guys, stahp...."

IDK how these images come to mind. They just do. And what better way to quick get them out of my head than to draw them in CHIBI FORM!
