All art is at once surface and symbol

So I'm reading dialogue for various characters in Pokémon Masters, and omg. This is promising to be shippy. Case in point being N/Hilbert:

( According to TV Tropes... )

I wanted to fangirl over Morty and I'm in love with him all over again.

( Morty is the best and so is Sacredshipping. )

I was not expecting any Kris/Eusine subtext, but looklooklooklooklook!

( Kris mentioned Eusine omg )

I have no idea if Eusine is ever going to be in Masters, and I have no idea what Pokemon they'd give him (in the miniscule chance he gets Suicune, it's gotta be a Shiny, since Kris already has regular Suicune. It could match with Morty's Shiny Ho-Oh. :o) I hope he does show up though, even though he's not very popular. There's always that one fan, and that one fan is me. XD

Things I Love About Undertale #568: Male characters with obviously feminine traits/interests/personalities, and they're not ridiculed for them or treated as joke characters or "justified" that it's done for a ~*~manly reason~*~ (I'm looking at you Cori Falls, for your depiction of the Flaming Moltres as the "ultimate symbol of masculinty." *cough*)

Dammit, I should just download Photoshop again. I want to make Mettaton icons. And Papyton icons, 'cause they're my new OTP.

I love Steven Universe. ;; It's such a cute show, and I'd say it's better than My Little Pony! Watching it is helping me lift out of my depression funk a bit. ;; I just finished the two-parter where they first introduced Lapis Lazuli. I can't wait to see Jasper, Peridot, and the rest of the major characters! I'm looking forward to Ruby & Sapphire's episodes especially. :o And of course, the wibbly and heartwrenching episodes.

Jean recc'd Undertale, so now I own it on Steam! My account there is shamanicshaymin for those who want to add me~ ♥

Earthbound Zero, now Earthbound Beginnings, is finally being released on Wii U Virtual Console.



I can finally play this game on the big screen. OMG OMG OMG

I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE

( Quick spoiler alert for those who want to see the trailer themselves. )

Anyway, the official Smash Bros. site is holding a Fighter Ballot on who YOU want to be the next downloadable fighter in Smash Bros.

Everybody vote for Genoooooooooooooooo. :o

````````````````` VQWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWMqq

(That was Ryu the chinchilla giving his endorsement. Everybody listen to the chinchilla!)

I've been fangirling Teddy/Loid on Twitter~ Mwoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing~! ♥ Here's a copypasta from my Twitter as I look up some dude's Let's Play of Tomato's translation of Mother 1 to collect quotes and compare with Earthbound Zero. :D

( Puri babbles about glasses-wearing nerds and gangsters with Elvis hair and surprisingly non-shippy stuff too. SPOILERS AHOY )

That'll be enough for now. Whew, I'm tired.

Guys. Guys guys guys, I've finished watching Utena, and the movie too. I MUST TALK WITH PEOPLE OMG

The Juri-centered episodes are my favorites. :D I feel so bad for Juri, but I don't find myself enormously hating Shiori either. That's the thing with this series; everybody is flawed in some shape or form, and some are even downright horrible people. But rather than pissing me off and wanting to ragequit the product for its cast being too unlikable (*coughWutheringHeightscough*), there's qualities about the characters that are fascinating, even endearing. Like Touga and Saionji are assholes, but they're such stupid kids that I wanted to see them be friends again. Any other series, I would've despised Nanami, but she's such a butt-monkey it's hard to get mad at her for long; hell, I felt downright sorry for her during her last arc in the series. D: I appreciated having the nicer characters to balance things out (Miki, Wakaba), and their fatal flaws didn't turn me off them at all... instead, they felt a lot more realistic. Like Miki's need for the "shining thing," I've seen a lot of people grasping for something like that. And Wakaba's need to be special and above "the other girls," I can relate to that. ;;

( Spoilers for the whole series. TW: abuse and sexual assault )

I still can't believe this was made in 1997-1999. It feels like such a recent show. :o

BUT YES, LET'S TALK UTENA IN THE COMMENTS. YAY

Happy National Cat Day!

Spam with kitties to your heart's content. Meooooooooow~! ♥

IRL is still shitty. No surprise. My Animal Crossing life, on the other hand, just got 100x more awesome because I'm finally getting Stitches. :D

9 dreamies down, 1 to go! Only Snake left! ♥ C'mon Ribbot, move ouuuuuuut!

I went to an animation Livestream yesterday, which showed a cute movie called "A Monster in Paris." There's two versions, the English dub and the original French, and we watched the latter with subtitles. It's got teeny bits and pieces of "Phantom of the Opera" and little homages to other films such as "La Belle et la Bête" and "King Kong" and a charming cast (for the most part. The chat booed whenever the annoying waiter showed up. XD), including the titular monster who is a giant flea and his only dialogue is in song during the film's musical numbers. He's so cute and timid and sweet! (And the chat squeed with me, of course) And his voice is gorgeous in French. Sean Lennon (John Lennon's son) plays him in the English version and he does fine from what I've heard of him, but I'm too spoiled by the original French actor, haha. XD

Here's the song he sings after we see his form for the first time.

Sorry for the Spanish subtitles, but this is the closest to high quality of the French version I can find. Anyway, the highlight of the movie is when Francoeur (aka the Adorable Flea Monster) and Lucille share a duet together:

La Seine (French version)

Watch it when you've got spare time, nomnomnom. I'm certainly glad I did. :D *adds Francoeur to the list of characters I've got to get icons of*

In Animal Crossing news, Cookie threw a party for Queen Mary today, and Marshal and Skye attended the party too. I love you, Cookie. ;; Never change. ♥

I finally finished my English paper! Now I can curl up and dread my lab exam tomorrow morning. :P
