Yaay con photos :)

Friday and Sunday I was parading around as a moogle, and Saturday was a quickly tossed together "panda lover" outfit XD. I recognized more video game characters than I did anime. I'm still stuck on the old runs of Yu Yu Hakusho, Kenshin, Fruits Basket, .hack, etc and I'm just not up to date on the new stuff these days. When the hell did My Little Pony get popular again? I think I had a pony when I was little…XD

Okay so this is actually from Halloween last year. I posted it because I liked how my hair was shorter then.

K is eating my pompom! D:

Tekkoshocon

2012-02-20T22:51:11Z

I just preregistered for Tekko!! I'm going to be sporting my moogle costume and will have the company of my friend K! I haven't been there since 06, so I'm pretty pumped. For some reason though I thought it was the last weekend in March, but it's the weekend before that, so I need to fix my schedule at work. I requested off the wrong days! XD

Digimon fic rec!!

2012-02-18T00:14:16Z

If you haven't read Innocent Games over on ff.net then you MUST GO READ IT NOW!

It's so amazing. It's one of the best Digimon fics I have read.

I want to go draw some fan art for it now or something. I need to give that author some love!

Battlestar!

2012-01-17T20:49:56Z

Just got home from visiting some family yesterday that live out of state. It's always fun to visit, and I always wish I could stay longer! While I was there, my brother totally got my hooked on Battlestar Galactia. I didn't think I'd like it cause I'm not much for sci fi, but this is good. I totally see a fic in this somewhere, fusing Battlestar and FFVI (ironically!) together somehow, but I'm just not sure what it'd be! And I'm sure it'd have to be chaptered (how would that kind of plot be just one shot??) but I just don't have chaptered stories in me anymore. I can't even finish the Furuba stories I started years ago.

But anyway, I'm totally hooked on the show. I'm four episodes into season 2 and I'm trying so hard to not pop in the next dvd (I got to borrow a few before I left!). I have so much work to do. But…battlestar…is…so …tempting! Ahhhhh!

Black Cat fic - You Are But a Pet

2012-01-11T21:50:29Z

This is old - a lot of my fanfiction will be. But maybe by reposting this stuff (it's up on ff.net, but my username isn't the same as this one), it'll get me writing again. The thing is, I'm just so damn busy. When I have time to dabble with fanfics or fan art, I really should be using that time to be more productive in other areas. At least until I can find a better job.

There are some spoilers in here if you haven't read all of the manga or watched the anime to the end. This was written because the anime version severely lacks character development. So I took it and ran.

Title: You are But a Pet
Series: Black Cat
Characters: Train Heartnet
Rating: T for a little bit of swearing
Genre: Angst/General
Summary: Train left Chronos to become a stray...but is it really that easy to become a different person? Oneshot.

Wow, does Edgar look girly. Oops. I blame this on not being able to sleep last night. It was 2am, wtf was I doing awake?

anime cons

2012-01-10T04:34:28Z

I'm going to Otakon this year, and maybe Tekkoshocon. I went to Tekko back in 06, and it was hella fun. I had this fun idea to raise a moogle army and storm the cons, but the group I'm tagging along with is doing Digimon Adventure 01, and I'm totally on board for that. I'd love to dress as one of the characters, but I'm not too good at sewing, and I just don't think I could pull any of them off, maybe Mimi, but she's not who I'd really want to prance around as. So I'm taking the road less traveled and I'm gonna be Gabumon! I toyed with the idea of doing Matt dressed to look like Gabumon, but that sounded too complicated.

Plan on some yellow shorts and a tank, and an altered light blue hoodie (found the perfect shade over at americanapperal!) and go from there. I'll also have some yellow knee high socks and yellow converse, and I'm going to make a lil dino tail to finish it all off. Add in a blonde or dark blue wig (I can't decide!) and red contacts with eye makeup and I got myself a Gabumon cosplay.

I'm totally geeked about this. I've been wanting to do a digimon cosplay for forever, and I finally get my chance. Sha-weeet. When this monster is completed I'll post a picture maybe. Maaaybe. Well, if it turns out good I will XD

Though for Tekko I'm going as a moogle sky pirate of my own creation because Gabu won't be done by then! I was the said moogle last year for halloween, hee!

of emulations and new translations

2012-01-09T04:58:03Z

So, for the past few days I've been emulating ffvi advance because I wanted to read the new translation and I really want to go through those end dungeons they added. I'd just buy the game and play it on my ds, but fuck, on amazon people want it for 40+ dollars a pop. Goes to show how good of a game it is, I guess. But right, moving on...

So I've been playing ffvi. And this new translation is okay…I still prefer the old Ted Woosley stuff, just because that's what I grew up with (and wtf are half the espers/magic/items I have?? everything is renamed, fuuuuck) and it's what I'm used to because I've played this game countless times between the snes, playstation, and the zsnes emulator. But I DO like how some scenes are flushed out more. I kinda wish I could take some text from the original, and some from the advanced version and make my own mix of it.

It's funny though, because I swear I know this game inside and out, but every now and then I make new little discoveries. Like just the other night my brother walked into my room while i was doing the opera scene and i thought i was safe after selecting what lines to say, and then i just let it go and was talking to him, and then before i know it i failed because i didn't run Celes up to the top of that damn balcony in the given time limit XD (btw, Locke sounds like such a creeper in the advanced version. i don't think he could be any more obvious!)

Of course, i have to go redo everything anyway (even the Zozo leading up to it dammit), because i accidentally hit LOAD state instead of SAVE state. I'm so brilliant. And where am I? Back in Jidoor before I reequipped my guys for finding Terra. Oh well, at least it's one of my favorite parts of the game. God help me if it was during the part where I'd have to farm all that fish in the WoR. Though once I get to that part I'll be so tempted to just stand in that little shack and hold down the space bar so time can wiz by at 10x speed.

i had to google how to do this because i am dumb

2012-01-09T03:25:18Z

Welcome to my little pocket of the universe. Make yourself at home, but please don't rearrange the furniture.

So…man, it has been years since I did this blogging thing. I used to have a journal over @ caleida, but at some point that site went down. I wish I could go back and reread some of the crazy shit I wrote about, but, so it goes. I'm hoping this blog's not gonna be as stupid as my old one (really, anything I said my freshman year in high school had to be stupid), but we'll see. I still have some shining moments.

Anyway, I have no qualms about the friending thing. If I somehow interest you, by all means say hello, and I'll say hi back. I don't bite very much, and if I do, it's okay. I got all my shots.
