All art is at once surface and symbol

1. Before I went to sleep, I was watching Madameluna, DeceasedCrab, and enigmaopoeia's LP of Clock Tower. Then I watched the first three parts of DeceasedCrab forcing Madameluna to play Shadowgate. I went ahead and watched all the deaths in Shadowgate/Uninvited/Deja Vu 'cause hey, curiosity. So unforgiving!

2. I dreamed I was playing Clock Tower, only it was vastly different. Jennifer kept discovering multiple paths and different demons/monsters that completely deviated from Scissorman and the mansion, and usually resulted in all sorts of new endings and deaths. She's attacked by a possessed boy in one (supposedly her friend who isn't Lotte/Laura/Ann) and discovers a Houdini death mechanism in one room, etc. Oh, and there's an ending where you control a ninja to beat an alligator or a zombie, and another where you're a chicken and you set yourself on fire to beat the boss. Then later one of your chicks grows up and does the same. Kamikaze is inherited!

3. The last part of the dream involved Clock Tower being back to normal, but instead of Jennifer, you're controlling Team Chaotix. Cue Vector holding Charmy and trying to keep him from whimpering/freaking out, which is a cute and suspensful image knowing what danger they're in. Vector is trying to warn Espio that Scissorman can see through his camoflauge technique, and that's when I woke up.

HOLY SNAP. THAT WAS AWESOME.

Why can't I get dreams like that after watching something scary like Clock Tower? Clearly Shadowgate had something to do with it.

Day 9: A game with the best or most original soundtrack

Earthbound & Earthbound 0! Wait, I mentioned them in an earlier entry haven't I? In that case...

Well that was fun, spending hours in there watching two guys play Sonic games for clean water in Ethiopia. It's fun watching the chat argue which game (Heroes, Shadow & 06) was the worst of the three. XD The highlight was when Tim started singing My Sweet Passion during a tragic cut scene with Shadow & Maria. Nothing beats busting Chaos bubbles on the ARK to the tune of shaving the Sphinx! XDDD

It's making me feel kind of nostalgic for Sonic games again. Sure, Heroes/Shadow/06 was bad, I'll admit that, but I'm still attached to them in a weird way. Especially Shadow the Hedgehog. I'll never stop loving that black bastard. XD Which again, makes me realize how deceptively dark Sonic games can be. All the bright colors and you're busting out cute critters after they've been through horrendous experimentation and used as fuel for robots. Then there's Shadow, which is a whole new ball altogether.

Several years ago, I couldn't pinpoint why it made me uncomfortable to see Shadow as the bad guy/villain. But hey, it's my birthday, I've turned 22. I think I know now. Since SA2 he's an anti-hero, yet I've admired him as a kind of Byronic hero in my eyes. O RLY? Lemme fetch Wikipedia: The Byronic hero is an idealised but flawed character exemplified in the life and writings of Lord Byron, characterised by his ex-lover Lady Caroline Lamb as being "mad, bad, and dangerous to know". The Byronic hero first appears in Byron's semi-autobiographical epic narrative poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812-1818).

( It's been a while since I've been on a tl;dr fangasm about Shadow! :D )

Off to bed so I can better celebrate a year closer to death. Oh boy! XD

Things or terms expected in my stories:

Hedgehog's in pants: They're wearing pants to cover their penis's why else?!

Buwahahahahahaha! XDDD

Many supporters of {LagomorphShipping} use it as a evidence of PearlShipping (Ash and Dawn), in a similar fashion to how people use VineShipping as evidence of AdvanceShipping; Professor Oak once stated that the feelings of a Trainer are reflected by their Pokémon. As such, if two Pokémon fall in love, the Trainers will too. However, if Dawn has a crush on Ash, she is to date being a lot more subtle about it than Buneary is about her feelings for Pikachu. Some will also point out that Buneary had a crush on Pikachu before Dawn caught her.

What the fuck? Can't I find Pikachu & Buneary cute without being a Pearlshipper too? I thought Pikachu & Piplup was the Pearlshipper's pet pairing. :P "ASH SAVED DAWN AND HELD HER HAND IN MOVIE 10 THEYRE IN RUUUUUUUUUUUV!!11!1" yeah, and if Ash didn't do that A. He'd be as jerkass as Paul. B. Dawn would go splat 'cause Brock wasn't close enough to her. C. Dawn's expression is that of relief, not necessarily twu wuv. :P

# Day 04 - The pairing with the most chemistry?

Lack subtext? Have no fear. This is what chemistry is for~ ♥

( I'm a Shipping Chemistry Major~ )

I might be thinking too hard about this. But really. It's something odd about writing and media.

How do people respond with something they don't understand? Sadness. How do people respond when they're abused by someone they thought was their friend? Sadness. Their world is spiraling and everything is going wrong, how do they respond? Sadness.

Allow me to be more specific.

People are different. People respond to a lot of things with sadness, including I. But here's the thing: I am an angry girl too. I will admit it. I refuse to give up, believing something can be done. I believe sadness is the residue of anger after the fire fades away into the realization of helplessness. If something is wrong, I'm likely to face it with confusion. Then depending on the situation, I'm likely to be pissed off.

Let's use some examples on how I'd react if I was the protagonist.

Do you remember the Snow Queen? I do too. What would happen if your brother suddenly turned into a grade-A douchebag? Of course I'd be confused. Of course I'd cry. I'd also go, "Dude, what's gotten into you? What the hell is your problem!? Stop treating me like dirt!" The heroine does everything but the latter.

I've been told all my life not to show any kind of emotion, namely sadness, which would lead to me crying. Yet no one has told me why I can't cry, why I can't grieve for my mother and father. Suddenly, I meet a blue hedgehog who showed me what it means to live. Amidst all we been through together, said blue hedgehog is now dead. It's more than just grief. It's more than just confusion and helplessness. It's why the hell couldn't I have done anything and how dare Mephiles take away the only friend I ever had that allowed me to be myself. Hell yeah I'd be infuriated. Like that Elise/Jojo parody I found on DA.

If I met Tory Lund, I'd be confused as to why he's afraid of every Pokemon ever. He refuses to listen to explanation, thinking I'm an enemy just because I'm a trainer. Confused? You bet I am. I'd also be frustrated and want to strangle the fucking kid.

How do Ash and friends react? "Awww, poor Tory, it's such a pity. What a tragic existence he leads!"

Is anger an unspoken sin among protagonists? Are the only characters who are allowed to be angry the irrational and cocky best friend who rushes into things and pays for his behavior? Villains because it's the only sensible thing they can feel as a "bad" emotion? Then when we are angry, we can only be mad at the villain. Never at the good guys. Unless it's a spat with family, 'cause then we'd both regret it and apologize in the end.

When is anger, aka natural normal anger that doesn't involve an abusive temperamental rampage for the character to pay dearly for later, justified for the protagonist? When are they not "in the wrong" for being mad?

Men are allowed to cry in classic literature, and flood the canals in bad yaoi. Why can't we be frustrated? Why can't we question? Why can't we be as mad as hell? I certainly can't take it anymore.

It'd be healthier to express our anger than blow up later after being forced to hold it back for so long.

Is it just me, or does the whole "string of saliva" thing exchanged between lovers after a kiss in fanart make me go, "Ewww, you're drooling!" Maybe it looks pretty in doujinshi, but often it's about as attractive as two dogs slobbering. I prefer "puffs of breath" myself. :P

Talk about a mass of unexpected fortune today! I got some stuff done on Spiritomb and I found a ton of neat Sonic art! Found SatAM, Shadow & Maria, and lots of Sonadow goodies nomnomnomnomnom <3333 Went looking for quotes by a famous person, expected nothing but boredom, but surprisingly got a wealthy quote relating to one of the characters in question in my fic. :o Buwahahahaha <3333 I am so happy <3333333 And my Dad's keyboard can't produce tildes. Damn.

So you know, Lucky Threes is a ficlet I wrote about an Amy/Shadow/Sonic OT3. Why should I let a nameless Mary-Sue ruin their fun? D:

He asked, at least. But still bizarre. @.@;;;

Today I picked up the three Knuckles the Echidna issues at the comics store. They only had Part 2 of The Dark Legion, so I wasn't able to get that mini-series. But this was what I was most excited about: Sonic Universe.

( This is the fanletter I wrote Archie. :3 )

If you see a Star Wars-ish cover with Shadow pulling a Gendo and Blaze looking like she's almost flipping you out, this is it. Pick it up. *____________*

Seriously. Go listen to him.

HAL 9000 and TEC were super close, followed by Gilliam (Outlaw Star), Metal Sonic, Gamma, EVE (Earthbound 0/Mother), EVE (WALL-E), WALL-E, M-O, Tom Servo, Croooooooooooooooooooooooooow! R2-D2, C-3P0, and the Starmen as runner-ups. Omega gets an honorable mention because of his devotion to Shadow and his immortal meatbag line in Chronicles. XD And the Axem Rangers if they count.

I probably forgot somebody. I just love robots and self-aware computers, okay? XD

Blegh, I'm on a coughing fit. Mmm, Shadow Androids. ♥
