All art is at once surface and symbol

I found my new favorite blog: Homotography. (NSFW)

I'm using the photos there as figure and anatomy practice, nom. Plus there's a ton of adorable and sweet snapshots, such as here, here, and here. So many lovely men in love. ;;

I still haven't quite gotten the hang of tumblr (since I use Firefox, my browser insists on saving certain pictures as unworkable Firefox documents, which is a pain in the ass), but here's mine if you want to follow me. I'll mostly be reblogging fanart and memes, haha. XD I won't be abandoning my LJ by any means, so no worries.

I wonder if I ought to start an AO3 account. Apparently it's "FF.net but better" or something. Except I feel a lot of my old stuff is crap and I'll feel like I'm contaminating the site or something. XDD;;;

But guh. I've been so busy hating myself since who knows how long and I'm sick of it. I want to revel in this high I'm getting from RPing with Jean again. I thought I'd bomb humongously playing Tavros, but even though I'm fumbling around trying to keep in touch with his character and general Homestuck universe, I'm having so much fun playing as him. And Jean makes a wonderful Dave to bounce off of~ ♥ My god, Tavros is adorable. I want to give him hugs all over again.

I'm also reading The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E.T.A. Hoffmann. I don't think I've ever seen the ballet, though I'm familiar with the music and the story. The original story though? Damn, I'm amazing how dark and full of Nightmare Fuel it is. So far, we're introduced to the Mouse King, which is a giant hideous rat with seven heads (Based off this, which I suggest you don't click if you're squeamish) Then Marie falls back and pushes her arm through glass, and was found passed out in front of the toy cabinet bleeding heavily. Grim stuff! Now this is the inspiration I'm looking for in regards to my novel. Stories about toys and dolls tend to have a lot in common with fairy-tales. You think they're all sugar and spice on the surface, then... holy shit. YOU KNOW, FOR KIDS.

Apparently, the ballet was originally choreographed Lev Ivanov and *dundundun* Marius Petipa. brb, geeking out and feeling awesome for giving a major character in my novel a relevant Meaningful Name. X3

I met my friend James from Realmcon and we went for dinner together at Frank's Spaghetti House~ ♥ I hope we meet again soon. It's been one of the most exciting moments of my life yet! X3

N needs hugs. Like 20 trillion of them and 20 trillion more. Touko and Touya can give him all that and more. I want to hug him and Mother 3!Lucas, they're in desperate need of love and hugs after all the horrible things they've been through. ;; Don't mind me, this thread between Child!N and Shaymin is getting too much to my head and making me emotional. Shaymin doesn't even know what's been happening to him and what kind of life he's led before he found himself awake on the Island. D: Little stuff like N's childhood triggers me somehow. Baw. D:

At least I'm getting kinda semi-active on PD again, haha. XD

Day 22: Favorite table-top RPG

I don't have one. D:

Since Pharae finished the 30 Day Fanfiction Writing Meme, I'm gonna follow her cue and fill out five questions a day, nom. :3

( Questions 1-5! )

( 30 Day Fanfiction Writing Meme )

Puri dunks Eusine at the Love Hotel.

Since poor Eusine got owned by Mewtwo, I figured I'd cut him a little slack for a while. Anyone up for shameless smut RP is a go!

Whew. I thought I got too many eggs there. I found a spare Raikou at the Shelter today, and I got messaged by the previous owner and it turned out he was trying to make a trade with someone. :o So now we've made an agreement, since I already have a Raikou anyway; I'm trading the spare for one of his seven Heatrans at 4 PM server time tomorrow. Oh boy oh boy oh boy~ ♥♥♥

Playing Eusine is so much fun! He's knee-deep in Suicunes at both dear_mun and pokedressing and he's spazzing like Daffy Duck in my headspace right now. I need to tweak his icons later, so I can have more HG/SS goodies, nomnomnom~ ♥ He's curiously approaching a Skitlord now~ ♥♥♥

Other than that, stress is built by washing bedsheets and my sister's old computer is supposed to be mailed to our house soon. Must... have... computer... AAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa

P.S. Happy 30th Birthday, Pacman! You can play some rounds on Google! :D

Post a list of all your roleplaying journal names and explain what the names mean, if anything.

analyzedthat - Tonio: lulz, nobody likes Tonio. XD Puri received help from Usagi for his username; let's say Tonio analyzes everything and has you covered. ;D

behindablueeye - Darkrai: Originally, Darkrai was intended to be based off his Movie 10 self, so his username is based off "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who. Despite the song being about a misunderstood rogue, this Darkrai is actually evil, so his username takes on a stalker-ish feel instead. This Darkrai has only one eye...

boingieboingie - Lisa: Poor Lisa. She's a hyperactive Buneary Tonio hatched and raised in PD, but she never got off the ground. :( Still I keep her journal for another sock or something, 'cause I love her username to death. XD

cinnamonsmile - Cream: Cinnamon is sweet and brown, like Cream~ "Smile" is the name of her Gear in Sonic Riders, and voila. :3

dyingissrsbznz - Prince Poo: Usernames are serious business! >(

hedgiesongbird - Shaymin: She's a hedgehog~ ♥ Her cry in the games reminds me of a chirping bird, as you can listen here~ ♥♥♥

iheartmaria - Shadow: Guess who the Ultimate Life-Form loves more than anyone else in the world. :P Silly Shadow~

nerdyhandyman - Rotor: Poor Rotor. Always getting the short end of the stick, even by me. ;; Anyway, his username is based off a line he says, "Nah, I'm just some nerdy handyman." Humble, eh?

noeggplantsplz - Pit: Pit does not like being turned into an eggplant. :(

pichiihime - Princess Peach: Peach as she's addressed in Japanese. "Hime" is "princess". :)

star_doll - Geno: Geno has two forms. Guess what they are~ ♥

steadfastmemory - Lucario: Steadfast is one of the abilities Lucario can have, in which he flinches and becomes faster in battle as a result. Memory because of his quest to seek the truth of what happened between him and Sir Aaron. ;;

treadwithknives - Madotsuki: Her username is inspired by a William Butler Yeats poem, particularly the last line:

HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

W.B. Yeats

Madotsuki "treads" with a knife because she is cautious and doesn't want anyone else to hurt her. So remember to be soft; she's still a little girl, you know. :o

ww_mona - Mona: Self-explanatory really. This account was started by Philleh back in the Starbeans Cafe days and he handed it down to me. :) Wario Ware and Mona, basically.

zombiestockings - Pippi: Pippi Longstocking is known for her pigtails and mismatched stockings, right? :3 You find her in a casket underground surrounded by zombies. Voila, a username born, or shall I say, "risen"? :D

the¿Who Should I Play?meme

And Puri's back in Corpus Christi!

I missed Pokemon Ranch. ;; I'll be playing that and Final Fantasy V for GBA like crazy. Nomnomnomnomnom~ ♥

You know that feeling you get when you read half a book for hours, and have this weirdish tingly feeling on your sinuses and you just don't feel like reading anything after you finally finish your book?

Puri's experiencing that, so right now, I can't properly answer to everything. I still have more readings to catch up on and I'm worried I'm supposed to be going through some passages of Japanese history in case of a quiz tomorrow morning. My eyes hurt. :(

I want to RP Madotsuki and at the same time I don't want to RP, especially since school is taking a higher priority over my constant update of my existence on the Internet. I ate up a TON of hours going on a Yume Nikki fanart spree (my Monoko and Poniko folders have grown considerably! And my Madotsuki/Monoko folder!) and I changed my desktop but it looks smudgey and fuck I'm too lazy and addle-minded and distracted to do something about it.

Shame. 'Cause Madotsuki has got a Shadow the Hedgehog-esque spinoff where she can stab AND shoot Toriningen. I'll have to fumble with WinRar/WinZip/WinWhatever later. Head hurts, can't think.

Chapters 29, 35 and 36 of Part 2... dang. D:

Ask me anything about any character I RP. Why I picked them up, what my headcanon of them is, who I ship them with, etc.

Puri's done downloading the Shaymin movie~ ♥♥♥ Feel free to interrogate Shaymin and Tonio from pokedressing, and Lucario, Shadow, Pippi, Princess Peach, Bowser and Geno too! And Rotor Walrus and Mona (Wario Ware) though I never got to use him, poor guy. XD
