Short version: Hello I am a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and it is a 'racially' problematic show.

Sorry for the maaaaany grammar issues with this. I'm just rambling.

EDIT: Fixing grammar issues. Excuse: I was half-asleep and depressed when I wrote this. I'd also like to point out that LOTS of shows and cartoons, those I have watched and haven't, most likely have -ism issues. And I'm going to call those out too! WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT? 8D

Yeah, I'm talking about this. I feel I must. )



Ironically, my life has been hectic enough to warrant a post, but I just haven't...

So anyways HEY GAIZ~~
Events have been going down:
1) Got winter job.
2) No longer work at said job.
3) Back in school to finish last four credits.
4) BIRFDAE
5) PRETTY CURE!! MY LITTLE PONIES!! IT'S A GIRLY GIRL'S DREAM COME TRUE~

I'll try to geek out here more often, if only for the memes.
Leave a comment saying, "READ HARD" and I will give you five things I associate with you. Then post about what they mean to you, along with this, at your journal.


Here are the five things solesakuma associates with me.

Now there are two main things I have to say I'm sorry for.

1) (the real life one) Sorry for not communicating with you guys more~ The internet is no excuse 'cause I could probably find a net cafe. My computer problems aren't an excuse 'cause I think I just need to re-calibrate my battery. Most of you guys know I have communication issues, but I'm sorry anyways and I'll try to contact you more. <3

2) (the fandom one) You know when you understand something but it still doesn't always get through? I believe that creators shouldn't have to answer to what fans say, because as a creator, I want to put more of myself versus more of somebody else. But then I go and say something else.

CLAMP-wise I'm not taking back everything I said, but I am sorry that I expected some explanation. )

I still think the plot pile-up was a bad idea and that they've been relying too much on page spreads. And I wish Nekoi would shorten up those legs. lol! Meme post next~

The sky is blue.

The Earth is round.

And CLAMP has been kidnapped by skrulls/white martians.

News at 11.


Kay, seriously, I just don't understand this ending...at all. Yes, yes I get the gist of it but- Look, TRC started out as a fun romp thru most of the universes CLAMP has made. Now look at it. Compare this ending to CCS ending, not counting the epilogue. THAT'S AN ENDING. A loose one, but an ending. TRC didn't end. It just. STOPPED.

So I guess those crazy fanboys (on that one forum I can't remember) were right. The last good CLAMP series was probably X1999 (something that I didn't read, so for me it'd be Angelic Layer) and even that's iffy. *sigh* Someone please stop me from reading Kobato. God help me, I'm starting to like that one a little and it's slowly turning towards the CLOW REED ARGHGLEFLAGLE.
IT WAS AWESOME.

STAN SAKAI SIGNED MY USAGI YOJIMBO BOOK

GOT COMIC I WAS LOOKING FOR

SAW THE NEW ANIMATED WONDER WOMAN MOVIE

IT WAS AWESOME

THREE THINGS THOUGH:

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS )

IT WAS STILL AWESOME.
...

Caps lock is cruise control for the raaaad. Interview questions/answers up later. I really am tired and have a headache. D: ...but it was worth it. :D
...Stuff that's been on my mind.

First, the answer to that mysterious pairing meme for those who were wondering what the hell:

THE FOLLOWING ARE QUITE STRANGE INDEED )

And THEN! I've gotta talk about my love of Vocaloid, my new fandom! Oh you're damn straight I drew pics of my favorite Vocaloid character, MEIKO. I...just haven't put them on the internets yet. :|

blah blah blargh )

k. to work with me.

So. I really hope that this is some kind of 'social experiment' done by a concern troll.

Words couldn't describe how pissed off I will be if it IS true. All I can say (without breaking my keyboard in anger) is this:

I'M TOTALLY CALLING THAT SOME TROLL OR MISGUIDED SOUL WILL POST A SECRET ON F_S SAYING HOW MUCH THEY LURRRRVE THE CAST CHOICES AND HOW THE PEOPLE THAT OBJECT ARE THE RACIST ONES.

...

WITH IN TWO WEEKS OR LESS.


Totally called. Too. Fuckin. Easy.


Kay, now to ...ugh final homeworks. D:
They were playing Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Family Channel. (I'm one of those weirdos that liked both movies.) Watching them both, though, made me realize that if they switched the titles around, it would have fit more. Come on, the first one was waaaay more about Charlie and vice versa but that's not that important. Let'stalkabouttheAvatarfinale! =D

I'm just going to get something out there. It WAS NOT perfect.
Fast Thought:

And no, Zuko. No it wasn't a good play.


Ohh man that was epic. I'm so psyched about the finale. COME SQUEE WITH ME ABOUT IT!!

SQUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~

I'M HIGH ON COLD MEDICINE AND COUGH DROPS! :DDD

SO! Today I shall talk about pokeh-manz and the fact that I just got Pearl. It's the first pokeman game I've ever played/owned. Let's see if this will equal EPIC WIN or EPIC FAIL.

BTW, for any of you Kimiko/Rai fans out there, there is finally a shipping comm for it: [livejournal.com profile] kimiko_raimundo There may be some spark left in this fandom yet.
Friggin' mid-point reviews...Had to gather a portfolio together and give it to the head of illustration. Wish me luck. I'ma need it....

I should be doing homework, but I'm taking a break damnit.

Also! It turns out that one of my coworkers liketh the animu! That's right! And she knows of the latest stuff too, like Claymore and Loveless. It seems that she likes bishounen...a lot. She wants me to draw one for her. I jokingly asked for $10. She's like "OK! I know you're a staving art student." Not one to argue too much with getting moneys, I accepted. HOORAY FOR COMMISSIONS!

Kay, so I owe [profile] rhap_chan answers to this meme:

Comment on this post. I will choose seven interests from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.


Ooh! Ohh! I wanna do this meme! Step up folks!

Pick as many fictional characters as you want from a anime/manga/book/video game/etc. I know and I'll answer the following questions to the best of my abilities.

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?

I just saw it (shut up I know) and all I have to say is

XD )

Comment to this entry with any fandom. If I'm knowledgeable enough in the fandom to have ships, I'll tell you one non-canon ship I like, one canon ship I like, and one ship I really don't like (either canon OR fanon). Then post this in your own journal to offer up the same responses.
It's like one that I've done before, only lite!

Choose five series (no peeking before you choose them), list them, and then answer the questions behind the cut.

And for once, it's about my own ideas!

Calling all CardCaptor Sakura manga fans:

Help me out. )


Kay next thing is for any Xiaolin Showdown fans and/or people who know a lot about East Indian culture.

So...I has a fan character. )

Well that's it. If you know any comms that would be better to ask these questions at, let me know.

Wow, that was a mouth-full. I mean, a hand-full...whatever.

EDIT: BAH. Might as well make this public; it's not that private anyways. I was being a bit paranoid for nothing...and any passers-by could lend me a hand.
I stole this one from EVERYBODY.

You Are an Orange

You have a zest for life, especially for anything colorful, wild, or dramatic.
You have a unique take on the world, and you're not afraid to be a little funky.

You are a bit reserved toward people who don't know you well.
You have a thick skin, which can protect you from anything that goes wrong in your life.

Once someone does get to know you, they totally get and appreciate you.
Your friends see you as a bright person with a refreshing take on life.


I kinda don't like oranges. No wait, I just don't like peeling them. I wonder what that means.

Spoilers for the most recent TRC and Holic volumes )
I'm sick and a bit high on cold medicine. And drowsy. These are all excuses, though. There's no excuse for me making these stupid things.

Spoilers for Cardcaptor Sakura...but seriously it's been out forever man. )


And I made this one a little while ago. Hooray for obscure CLAMP characters!!

David Bowie...riiiiight


Two references for the price of $0.01!!!

...kay. I'm done. *collapses*
Dear two writers of fanfics that I like,

Author#1, it is not necessary to label scene cuts to the name of the character who has the pov of said scene. Really. You don't have to. Especially since, well, sometimes it turns out that the character DOESN'T have the pov for long. :/ Stop using this. Your fic is not a screen play and shouldn't be since you're on ff.net.

As for you Author#2, I just found your fic and the concept intrigues me. However, I'm starting to worry when you say things like "well, he'll have a backbone and is not a whiny momma's boy in THIS fic" (hint hint to the character I'm talking about). I mean, yeah, he is a whiny scaredy cat but that's one of the things that endears me to him. How about this, you SHOW me HOW he's become this way (even if this is an AU) instead of telling me then we'll see how much he's changed. Character growth/change can be a nice thing but starting out with a cardboard cutout of a pre-made character and inserting super-special-awesome traits is tittering on the lines of OOC-ness and Gary Stu-dom. But hey, this IS the first chapter, so I'll cut you some slack. Just keep him HIM, ya know.

Kinda liking ya,
abyss =;o

Dear self,

Do your homework and STOP READING RANT COMMS FOR THE LOVE OF CREAM PUFFS!!

Love and Disappointment,
Ebony =;[

P.S. If you're seriously thinking about making a fandom shout out comm, then just do it. Remember that one comm you said you were going to do and never did? Well, now it's too late for that one, isn't it! GET ON THIS ONE! GRRRRR.
