What the hell does [community profile] fandomsecrets have against Amanda Palmer? I don't know that much about her (other than that she married Neil Gaiman and a few Dresden Doll songs), but seriously. This is the closest comprehensive information I can get without angry anons getting carried away frothing at the mouth.

So everything that happened with her ex? Not cool. Not cool at all. The EvelynEvelyn thing? Sketchy as hell, and the way she "responded" to Feminists With Disabilities was inconsiderate. But holy shit, her haters are obnoxious.

It's one thing to hate a person, especially for the problematic things that they've done. But then there's claiming that she's "pretending to be a rape survivor for attention," wanting her to be raped and decapitated while the world rejoiced, and how wishing those things upon her is a-okay because she is not a human being, but a "rodent."

Thank god for a few of the anons that called them out on their despicable behavior. Seriously, those guys remind me of Twihaters. You know, people who dedicate their entire energy hating Twilight and Stephanie Meyer to the point where they become just as annoying as Twihards, but in a different way.

This Guy Has Been Using The Same Pokémon For Nearly A Decade

You know how you can transfer Pokemon as far back as 3rd Gen (R/S/E/FR/LG)? This guy has an Omastar that's been with him since the beginning of time.

He recognizes that while this Omastar isn't the best Pokemon—or even the best Omastar—it doesn't matter. It's his Omastar.

It's so beautiful. ;;

25 pages of kinkmeme and there is not a single mention of Darkrai.

So, I would like someone to help rectify this. I want to see Darkrai, in any pairing, Darkrai/Alice, Darkrai/Dawn, Darkrai/Cynthia, Darkrai/Ash, I don't care.

Just not Darkrai/Cresselia. That is my NOTP.

Smut is preferred, but not required.


I'd fill this if I wasn't mostly burnt out on Pokemon and consider my favorite Darkrai ships (Darkrai + Alicia, Darkrai + Shaymin) as purely platonic. I know the requester said smut wasn't required, but that one time I wrote Darkrai smut was fun. ;; Smut or not, I don't think I'd fill anytime soon, 'cause auuuuugh burnt out.

That said... I hope this person isn't who I think it is. I mean, this could anyone in the world who doesn't care about Darkrai/Cresselia, I just hope that it isn't... that person in particular. 'Cause this person exploded if I dared mention anything they didn't like, even by accident. Darkrai/Cresselia isn't even one of my favorite pairings, but this person hated it so much she blew it entirely out of proportion and made a mountain out of a molehill simply for saying I liked it okay, but hey, fine if she didn't. And she'd verbally put me down, accusing me of being the immature one and that I was being an idiot. And if she saw this post today, she'd probably say, "Wow, it's your own fault for not getting over being butthurt years ago. Who's making a big deal over nothing now?"

All I'd ask for is a goddamn apology.

Nostalgia Critic vs. Mike Myers in The Cat in the Hat

Words cannot describe how much I hate this movie. It's part of my Unholy Quadrilogy; they're movies that I've sat through from beginning to end (watching only parts don't count, otherwise Garbage Pail Kids would've been included) that I consider the bottom of the barrel. They've made me rage, pull my hair out, and feel like my brain had caught cancer. (The other three? Tentacolino, Cool World, and A Troll in Central Park)

So seeing NC rip this movie's organs out is quite satisfying.

But the main reason that I'm linking this review? Because of the speech at the end where NC stresses the importance and value of classic children's literature, pointing out they're not "just for kids." It's so beautiful. ;;

Dear MSTers/Sporkers/Riffers/etc,

I read MSTs to laugh at badfic. If I wanted a detailed analysis of every spelling and grammar error in terrible fiction, I'd run a spellcheck. Unless it's a sentence like "Out pooped Sailor Mercury" or "Harry Potter masturbated his salad", I don't think we need commentary about how the author's spelling and grammar sucks. We can clearly see for ourselves, thanks.

The same goes for if you're doing a sporking in the style of Das Mervin's Twilight reviews, where you're being educational rather than funny. It'd be wise not to miss the forest for the trees; I think I'd be more angry about the brutal villianization of Princess Cadance to make the Mary-Sue look good instead of an instance that the author used "your" instead of "you're."

Sincerely,
Puri


I'm not as big a fan of the Nostalgia Critic as I used to be, but "The King & I" episode was pretty good. The Russell Crowe gag was overlong and felt out of place, but at least it wasn't as bad as the "Pearl Harbor" review where the whole Michael Bay sketch took up more of the episode than the riffing of the actual movie itself. I prefer my reviews straight to the point without obnoxious story arcs. :P

Goddammit LJ. You just keep digging your own grave, don't you?

The truth is, I'm rather sad. I've considered LJ to be my home, where I spend the most time online. When I migrated to DW, for some reason it crashes whenever I try to import years and years of LJ entries, so eventually I gave up and kept posting on DW like usual.

I love DW, I just wish it was more active. :/

In the glory days, LJ had RP, Kink Memes, fanfiction, icons, graphics... now it's a near wasteland because the current staff can't be bothered to listen to its own users. A lot of people have migrated to tumblr, but for reasons stated on my Plurk, I don't post there much. It's infested with Social Justice Warriors, and I can't stand them. Yes, I'm white and privileged and I don't consider "lame" to be an ableist slur, now shut up and leave me alone.

Basically I feel weird because I had a life and history on LJ. Eventually it's all going to be wiped out 'cause LJ doesn't give a fuck. Thanks LJ. There's a reason I let my paid subscription run out. At least I hadn't bought a Permanent Account. :/

Well guys, I'm home. Thanks to everyone who gave birthday wishes! It's been a happy 24th. I had my birthday at Golden Corral with Dad, my little brother, Jimmy and Dave and we got to bring my cake back to the apartment! Which one of the cats later sat on. Oh well, it was still yummy and edible. :P I got a good batch, including two copies of "Pokemon Conquest"! Whoops. Jimmy and I went to GameStop to swap one of them, and now I'm the proud owner of "Harvest Moon: Animal Parade" and "Okami." Yay! I got "Battle Royale" (the book) and I squeegled over owning "Maurice" on DVD. *fangirl sigh* I got lovely birthday icons from Sara too~ ♥

There was another lock-in and Pokemon tournament, and this time, legendaries were banned! After working so hard on HeartGold, I won the tournament and the respect of my peers~ ♥ I got a bead sprite of Espeon as my reward. :3 (Jimmy said it would be appropriate if I got Jolteon, since that was the Pokemon I had that whooped everyone, but they didn't have one. Alas)

I'm reading 50 Shades sporkings like crazy. Buwahahahaha. Mrs. Giggles' reviews are glorious as well. ("I won't be surprised if he one day insists that Ana scream out "Christian Grey, CEO, Grey Enterprises Holdings, Inc!" during crucial moments when she's in bed with him.")

Finally, I'll be receiving a houseboat so I have another place to go to whenever things get too crazy at home again. Yay~! ♥

It's too bad that [livejournal.com profile] das_sporking isn't currently accepting new sporkers, 'cause I think everyone would have a field day with Manipulated Love. A MST/critical analysis on that fic seems to be the kind of treatment it needs. :P

I had a dream where I was writing Kooper/Parakarry or something. I think I'm getting the urge to play "Paper Mario" again.

My Little Pony Fair and Convention 2012

Man, there's no way I'd be able to go. :P Unlike Bronycon which centers primarily around G4 and FiM (mainly the latter), My Little Pony Fair is the place to go if you're a collector. Probably for the best since I'd be broke in a millisecond anyway. I'LL BE DROWNING IN PONIES AND IT STILL WON'T BE ENOUGH.

I've been thinking of styling the hair of my G4 ponies, since I found nifty tutorials on getting cartoon hair such as Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie. I wanted to make my HasbrOCs pretty too, so they'd have personalities and headcanons outside being expies of the Mane 6. Only one problem though... I was never exactly a fashionista growing up. When I was little, I didn't care about doing crazy things to doll's hair, since I'd basically comb it a couple times then leave it wild. While I've had my hair braided sometimes and it was awesome (I love having braids. ;;), I don't know how to braid myself. So being a hairstylist for my own ponies? Awkwaaaaaard. Practice makes perfect and all, but I'm terrified about cutting hair. I don't want to accidentally mutilate my ponies. :( I'm also torn between letting Blossomforth keep her gorgeous locks or cut that beauty away just so she'd look more like Blossomforth in the show. Aaaaaaaaugh, decisions decisions. I love Blossomforth's long hair, I don't want to chop it off. I want her to be more like Shaymin. *sob*

Me: I'm interested in "Heavy Metal" now 'cause it looks Crazy Awesome.
Me: And the "Signs" review accurately shows everything that's wrong with Shyamalan.
James: Hah.
James: Misread that as Shaymin.
Me: Awwwwww!
Me: Shaymin is way cuter than pretentious directors~ <3333

Which makes me feel a little better after reading some horrific things in the con/weeaboo horror stories thread that he linked me. :(

"File-sharers, beware: By July 12, major US Internet service providers (ISPs) will voluntarily begin serving as copyright police for the entertainment industry, according to Cary Sherman, chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The so-called “six-strikes” plan is said to be one of the most effective anti-piracy efforts ever established in the US."

The article goes on to give details. After six notices, internet providers will decide to throttle a person's internet speed, or cut it off altogether. I don't know if they will crack down on torrents only, or if it is up to the internet provider. I get the sense it is up to the internet provider. So some people could get away with downloading non torrents, while others might get their internet service cut off. I urge you to click it and read, as we all know people who download.

No more downloading eps of your favorite shows for vidding, gifs, or fanfiction art. No more downloading screencaps possibly. I'm so sorry my friends. I don't even know if BT Guard will work to protect you, but I would google it if I were you. It is a professional service that supposedly can protect you from the invasive eyes of your internet provider.

Just, my friends, please make each other aware. Please be aware of the date JULY 12TH. Mark your calendar and double check with your internet provider by then. If you start receiving notices of downloaded activity, this is why. And your internet service could be throttled or cut off.

I guess this is the part where I explain my absence, huh?

It's been a wreck where I am. Namely Mom is at the worst of her hypo-manic stage again (and anyone who knows me understands that I do not use that word lightly) and it's been draining the hell out of me and given me lots of unhinged stress. I may have to move into Dad's office for real this time, but as long as Mom leaves me alone and never talks to me, I can gain some peace of mind. There's also been confusion involving my birth control meds, but I saw my gynocologist for that, so no worries.

Good things that kept me sane included Jimmy's 22nd birthday back on May 17th! Dad even got him a small present~ (We got him several WW2 books, including a memoir of the last Valkyrie) Jimmy and his mom and I ate at a glorious Italian restaurant, and its cheese pizza is absolutely amazing. The food was rich so we got stuffed right away and had to ask for leftover boxes. Then Jimmy and I cuddled at his house and we played Mario Party 3 in his honor before I went home.

Another thing I got to look forward to was art commissions. If Mom gets to go on her giant online shopping sprees, why can't I get myself something nice for a change? Both of them involve characters from my novel... and dear lord, I miss my novel and I want to start working on it again.

[profile] jazaaboo is an animator who uses her skills for a charites such as the speedgamers. You know that Pokemon video that I showed you several entries back? Yep, she made that. Unfortunately, she recently had to go to the hospital for emergency surgery, and a single night's stay costs $7000. That's American Health Care for ya. :/

Forwarding and spreading the word is fine and all, but I dunno. I felt like I had to do something. And $15 for a single colored sketch is easy. So I asked her to draw one of my main supporting characters: "Jelly Jane."

Introducing Jelly Jane! )

And the drawing itself. :o )

You can commission Jaz here. Her kindness is as great as her art and she deserves all the donations she can get. ;; You can even request a custom animation cell! :o
