All art is at once surface and symbol

This person just described every cliched N shipping fanfic in existence, and I love them for it.

Bonus points for the ending! :D

So squeeze me, taste tease me, say I'm your own, but I'm no girl's toy...

Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Livestream: SUCCESS! :DDD I wanted to save the entire conversation we had during the stream, but my stupid computer only copy-pasted the last part. Nooooooooo! BIGGEST TRAGEDY EVER. I'll recount the best moments here:

( Spoilers! Extreme perversity. Wished you were there to join us~ )

Everyone who watched Raggedy Ann & Andy with me, you've totally made the experience worth it. ;D Thank you so much! I'm glad you all liked it, for making me laugh and sharing your insight, and I'll be looking forward to seeing you again in any future Livestreams~! ♥♥♥

...My god, did I just make this icon?

I've been hearing about this book called Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Typically, I don't go out of my way to read most YA, especially with the rough subject matter it deals with, but since Privileged Parents wanted the book banned and some religious asshole called it "soft-core porn," (this article was how I first heard about Speak in the first place) naturally I felt compelled to read it. :p

What do you know! I kept forgetting the author's name, knew it ended with "Anderson," and I went to the library and bam! There it was. I picked it up, thinking I'd read the first chapter or so then go back to what I was originally gonna do (poke at my Long Ridge assignment) but nope. I ended up reading the entire friggin' thing, or at least I would've if the library didn't close and I hadn't left my library card at home. Right after the page of the so-called "porn" (seriously, w.t.fucking.f. I hope Scroggins gets his fucking balls burned off, and that'd be too kind) so... I was feeling quite distraught. I wanted something good to happen to Melinda, I wanted her to find happiness, I wanted her to speak, dammit. Which I think the entire book was her way of doing just that.

( Spoilers for Speak. Long discussion about high school and sexual assault, and why Puri is pleased with this book. )

As powerful Speak is, I need to read something light. D: I'm feeling squeamish and sad and I want to read about happy things. So I'm going to continue my conversion into Homestuck. Waaaah.

"Who am I? What am I? What is my purpose?" Each time that's said, take a shot. Nomnomnom.

The movie itself starts at 10:00 Central PM/8:00 PM Vancouver. :3 See you there~! ♥♥♥

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.

DON'T MIND ME these are just thoughts swimming around my head. Might as well type it out.

My biggest problem with the movie was how friggin' useless Sheena was, especially when you had an interesting plot bit such as Damos & Arceus yet even that just wasn't well thought out. So how would I handle it if say, I had to write a manga adaptation of the Arceus movie, assuming I can draw and meet deadlines and all that jazz? :P Let's see...

( In which Chibi Dialga, Palkia and Giratina bounce on Papa Arceus' back while he's trying to read. )

I think WAY too much about crappy Pokemon movies. It's fun though! XD Boy oh boy I can't wait to reinstall Photoshop so I can work on PokeNikki my creepy Rise of Darkrai fangame again. ♥

THE NEW POKEMON ARE LINKED. OH MY FUCKING GOD.

( MY THOUGHTS OMG )

THIS GEN IS GONNA BE AWESOME. /excitedplz
