Stolen from Caitlin.

Character: Machi Tobaye
Series: Ace Attorney
Muse strength: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ - Really.
Cast strength: □ □ □ □ □ - I have yet to keep a cast mate longer than a month. This probably says something. Perhaps the previous is a lie.
Plotting capabilities: ■ ■ ■ □ □ - He's hard to talk to but I'm always up for anything and he is in the thick of things.
Likelihood of drop: □ □ □ □ □ - No.

Character: Mewtwo
Series: Pokémon
Muse strength: ■ ■ ■ □ □ - He is so hard to do dialogue and throught progression for. I suck. This should probably be a two.
Cast strength: ■ ■ □ □ □ - Misty and Mew!
Plotting capabilities: ■ ■ ■ □ □ - His over-the-top powers and aloofness make him hard to work into plots.
Likelihood of drop: ■ ■ ■ □ □ - I don't want to, he's fun when I do it right, but other than Johan he is the worst muse I have.

Character: Nanaki/Red XIII
Series: Final Fantasy VII
Muse strength: ■ ■ ■ □ □ - He is so easy, he's not even a challenge. I just write shit and post it and there you go. Combat is a joy, dialogue bores me.
Cast strength: □ □ □ □ □ - HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.
Plotting capabilities: ■ ■ ■ ■ □ - HE'S A HERO so of course he wants to interact and make friends with everyone.
Likelihood of drop: ■ ■ ■ ■ □ - If I have to drop someone, and I do, he's pretty high up on the list.

I know some people probably think me irresponsible or lazy or whatever for spending eysterday playing WoW when there's so much to do in RP, but to be frank, I needed it. A lot. I went to bed happy last night, and in doing so, realised that it's something I haven't done in at least five months. I used to go to bed happy and/or excited every night, thanks to Dollsy, but lately I've just been collapsing listlessly or lying in bed stressing about things until I fall asleep. It's been draining me. I think I've been spreading myself thinner and thinner in search of something to be happy or excited about, and I've had several promising possiblities offered only to have them die or never happen, and ever since everything I'd been working towards crumbled out from under me, I've been... well, I haven;t been able top put anything together, because as things are put before me and then abandoned or moved to places I can't follow and I've stopped caring.

It might be my twilight now.

WoW, on the other hand, was genuinely fun last night, more fun in about eight or nine hours than I've had in the past couple of months entirely. I'm not pointing finger (Edit: BY WHICH I MEAN THIS IS NOT ABOUT ANYONE STOP ASSUMING I'M BEING DRAMATIC AND SUBTLY ACCUSATORY GOOD LORD I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT WOW AND RP AND HOW THEY CONTRAST) and it's no one's fault, but it might be that after the end of Dollsy I'll retire form LJ RP and... I don't know. I don't really know what I'll do myself, I don't play WoW enough or care enough about it to do it full-time as an occupation, but until/unless ADB restarts (where the fuck is Alex? Does anyone know?) I might just retire.

I'm tired of the dream deferred and I'm tired of having excitement offered and then... having it stall out or never come through.

I need a break.

I spent all fucking day playing WoW and have upgraded so much gear.

First we ran Onyxia ten-man and the Glinting Azuresong Mageblade dropped, which was a good upgrade from my Spectral Kris (the only upgrade feasible past that for now is the Mageblade that drops in 25-man Onyxia, which I still can't successfully complete because people in PuGs are morons). I actually only beat out Doug/Tyring's roll (he's our other mage) by two and felt really bad, but since he won a cloak over me last night...

Anyway. I also got my Tier 9 shoulders, which were a much-needed upgrade from my silly little cloudmakers. They actually look very nice, and since I have a Tier 9+ gloves, I got the first set bonus. Yes.

I used my now mostly-useless Emblems of Conquest to replace my Girdle of Bane (lawl) with the Sash of Potent Incarnations. It didn't have a socket, but Joeface traded me a belt buckle to give it one. +20 crit happened.

Then in ToC I got a new ring (Sinner's Confession), which was nice, because I've been toting around the Item Level 200 rings I've been using forever--it wasn't really that much of an upgrade, losing like five hit for 24 extra spellpower and some decent crit, but it was something

I also finally got Exalted with the Sons of Hodir (it involved farming sixty goddamn stacks of Relics of Ulduar after doing the dailies) to enchant my goddamn shoulders with the greater whatever the fuck of the Storm. Joe enchanted my boots with Icewalker, I got the head enchant from the Kirin Tor (I kinda missed the fact that I had no headgear enchant hurr durr), and she enchanted my new weapon for spellpower.

I am also finally no longer 100 something goddamn points over the hit cap, because apparently at some point I started stacking hit and forgot to stop. Now if I could just get rid of that goddamn blue trinket.

Also, while it's not gear-relayted, I finally got my ass through the first leg of the Argent Torunament and am finally a Champion of Undercity. Working on becoming Champion of Sen'jin and getting myself the Salty title (and getting Exalted with the Kalu'ak for a fishing rod that isn't the default). I foresee much fishing in the near future.

Sum up: I WoWed all day, and am now a lean, mean, DPSing machine.

To apologise for the completely uninteresting post below that I couldn't even articulate properly, have some interesting news.

Farmers spray milk over fields to protest milk prices.

Gene therapy used to fix colour blindness in adult squirrel monkeys.

British film about Charles Darwin 'too controversial' to be distributed in America.

From the last:

Movieguide.org, an influential site which reviews films from a Christian perspective, described Darwin as the father of eugenics and denounced him as "a racist, a bigot and an 1800s naturalist whose legacy is mass murder". His "half-baked theory" directly influenced Adolf Hitler and led to "atrocities, crimes against humanity, cloning and genetic engineering", the site stated.

The film has sparked fierce debate on US Christian websites, with a typical comment dismissing evolution as "a silly theory with a serious lack of evidence to support it despite over a century of trying".

My weekends have been really fucked up lately, taken entirely by a single person and leaving me recovering all week because I spend the entire time trying not to snap and then spending the next three days or so trying to recover my mind. I can't really go into it because some of it is personal and some of it borders into creepy, but the result is that I've been really fucked up and not all here, so even tags that should be easy just sit there while I stare at them, completely blank. It also means I haven't been up for conversation or even thinking so much as reading screencap adventures or wasting time while I wait for my... equilibrium and motivation and... I don't have a word for it, the lack of emptiness and distractedness to come back to me. I can't really explain it, but I'll not be seeing this person for some time whether he likes it or not and hopefully everything will be restored.

If not I'll... uh... well, I'll have to drop from everything because I have no muses, no focus, no motivations, and no... anything.

I will honestly probably hate him forever for fucking up the one good thing I had going if this goes down. Which sounds facetious but isn't.

EDIT: He has now promised not to touch me any more, which sounds weird out of context, but I'm still not wasting any more weekends on him. To explain a little about the touching issue, my OCD and physical contact with humans do not get along--being touched by someone is the most disgusting, intolerable, abhorrent, terrible, gross... dnfgsdf it really skeeves me out and then some. It's almost painful. It's really hard for me to shake hands with people and afterwards I'm very much... um.... DX< about it because I'm gross and oily and I can't go wash my hands immediately so I have to TOUCH things like that and they touched ME and argh. So having him lie on me, sit on me, stick his face so close to mine I have to breath in his exhalations (sometimes close enough that we're practically touching while he's lying on me IN THE PROCESS), rest his greasy head on my shoulder forever, take my hand, lean on me, and use me as a FUCKING TEDDY BEAR OFTEN WHEN I'M TRYING TO SLEEP... thinking about it, I am not entirely sure how I managed not to absolutely flip my lid and attack him, not that he'd have even gotten the message.* I really cannot put into words how completely, atrociously abhorrent the entire situation was.... think of the most horrible, disgusting, abhorrent thing you can think of, multiply it several times, and add a panic attack. And then make it last FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS, pretyy much INCESSANTLY and rgjndsfdghs. okslegvneedb,m ln FeSLS ND v *keysmashes to vent aggression dffgF* dakfna


*My panic/anxiety attacks result in violent aggression rather than breakdowns, I don't know why. It's sort of inconvenient.

To Do:

- COMPLETELY KNOCK OUT MY TAGS, REGARDLESS OF HOW BUSY THE OTHER PERSON IS. This may sound heartless, but after sitting on so many tags for so long out of concern for other people's time, I start to go nuts and lose my muses. Machi is suffering badly from this. Really badly.
- Upload Ynnwaw and Hegyala info to this journal--these posts will be friends locked.
- FIX nthe hegyala info so it doesn't suck as much argh.
- See Lilo and Stitch. Personal reasons or something, maybe I just like experiments and aliens.
- Come up with a journal for Hiraidée/Jaala? Possibly rename him to something less stupid.

That's... about it for now. I'll probably need to figure out what the fuck is going on with Dollsy and whether anyone wants to backlog, but the answer, as always, is probably no.

Oh look. Raile is back with more videos. They're much less sophisticated/intelligent/artistic than last time, but that's how I roll.

Today I have four Mewtwo AMVs that are extraordinarily well done--three by the same person, whom I know and RP with... Raina is actually much better at Mewtwo than I am, but she refuses to admit it, so I'll let her AMVs testify for themselves. The fourth was found by chance while slogging through hours of terrible AMVs, often to wildly inappropriate songs. Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" is just not a Mewtwo song. Sorry.

The first two here beautifully illustrate Mewtwo's relationships with his past, the events that shape him, and ultimately his identity. The third is... well, I suppose it's Mewtwo's relationship with the world first and foremost, as well as his early identity... perhaps his later identity as well, although it's obviously centered in large part around his will and power.

I don't know, I'm awfully tired to be writing this. Just watch the damn videos.

Spent last night watching (and in some cases, rewatching) a lot of Jan Švankmajer films. For those that don't know, Jan Švankmajer is a Czech surrealist stop-motion animation film-maker who started his work back in the sixties. There are a lot of rumours that the Czech government was secretly testing drugs (read: LSD) on some of its citizens back then and it's been speclated that Jan was one of the subjects. He's an interesting figure in and of himself, but the stuff he does is completely beautiful and quite full of potent symbolism.

I thought I'd share some, so here we are. I've selected films/clips that won't distress the people who have me on their flist--both parts of Food are very good, but two people I know have eye squicks and another has a difficult time with food-related media, so I'm mostly focusing on Něco z Alenky--known in English as Alice.

Shin Kidou Senki Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: x84 Wufei Chang

Okay, so maybe I like Wufei.

All of the screencaps used here were found online, most of them in a screencap archive--I still don't know how to cap animated shit.

Phew. 164 icons in nearly one day.

Looking at these again, I see that I could have done better with some of them... and I still don't know how I got an icon at all out of others. This is the end of the main series Wufei icons! Rest assured, however (or cry in despair, your pick,) there are still Endless Waltz icons left!

These are all free to use, provided that you credit either [info]literatehyaena or [info]withfireandiron. Comments are also appreciated, especially because I don't know jack about iconning humans.

OCD, meet icon making. Icon making, meet OCD.


All of the screencaps used here were found online, most of them in a screencap archive--I still don't know how to cap animated shit.

This started as part of my quest to obtain Wufei icons for my Wufei journal... and, well, it got a little out of hand, but Wufei really needs some icon love, so it's okay. Or something. There will be more Wufei icon dumps in the near future (especially seeing as I'm more-or-less going backwards and am only halfway through the series proper), but I'm trying not to accumulate more than four photobucket pages of unposted icons at a time... I think the reasons for that should be obvious.

These are all free to use, provided that you credit either [info]literatehyaena or [info]withfireandiron. Comments are also appreciated, especially because I don't know jack about iconning humans.



Thank you, Mister Chief Engineer, that was very kind of you... )

And here are the promised 4 icons. Since 4's very existence is basically the most massive spoiler I can think of short of the ending and I'd rather not spoil this further with the samples... well, there are none. Just a fake cut. With a bad word in it.

Anyway!

Coming up... eventually: assorted We3 icons, including a lot more (and hopefully a lot better) icons of 1.

All of these are, of course, free to use, provided you credit either [info]literatehyaena or [info]withfireandiron.

...damn near ate a police officer. )
