I can't believe it. I got in!!!!
Cola izza happeh Badger :3

Ugh.

I don't understand why there has to be so many ugly people in the world.
No, I don't mean 'Beauty Pagent' Ugly, I mean vile. Idiotic. People who jump to conclusions in the worst possible way to the point of claiming to kill another person.

Okay, so as some of you may have noticed, I've got that little 'Like my stuff?' section on the far left there, right? One of the links is to my Deviantart--a site I've haunted for the better part of four years. I normally diregard everything but the art on there, but recently one of the people I watch has had this issue that I can't help but have gotten myself into.

Before I get any further, I should mention that I've never actually had a conversation with this person-who-will-remain-anonymous. (Let's call her B, since that's the first letter of her username) I found some of B's Young Justice art, including the beginnings of a comic. I liked it, may or may not have mentioned that, and clicked the 'watch' button.
Apparently, from reading all three of B's journals, this other girl has been giving B a hard time (Let's call her Pony because her icon is from MLP) Occording to B, Pony has been whining to her friends to try and get B reported and kicked out. Do you know what it started from?
B posted an artwork of a character called 'Ice Queen'. Pony claimed that she was the Ice Queen, called B a b*tch when B didn't buy into it, and left the argument.
Then she proceeded to write a journal claiming that B had harassed Pony on one of Pony's works of art that cannot be found even through the powers of Google. Occording to Pony, B's supposed trolling was hurtful enough to warrant the following journal:
(for privacy's sake, I'll be typing it here so as to keep everyone's identity secret. Any spelling mistakes/bad grammar are directly quoted.)
"i almost killed myself
my troller almost made me
she said some really hurtful things"
This was followed promptly by a very pitiful looking emoticon animated to cry continuously.

Of course, by the time I got to this journal, I was in full-out research mode. I'd looked through Pony's artwork and found that B's claim of not doing anything was completely legit. Even in the hidden comments, B was no where to be found on Pony's web page--until Pony went to B's page and demanded that B 'leave me alone' (by me, here I refer to Pony)
After the rather suspiciously made journal entry were 123 comments that ranged from B's friends calling Pony's bluff to Pony's friends using very, very crude language to describe B.

I'm gonna pause my rant for just a second to point out that Pony is 13. She's stated thus and has acted thus.

Okay, back to the issue. The whole reason for my rant is actually because of one of Pony's friends (let's call her J because that's the first letter of her username)
It's clear that J is also 13 years old. A very crude, ugly 13-year old, might I mention. Any of the conversations J has had on this matter include threats, terrible grammar, and laughable attempts of trolling.
I read one between J and one of B's supporters (Henceforth dubbed 'Sand' b/c of username) that really just made me sick to my stomach, that's how unreasonably crude this person was being.
I did some mild research--looked at J's page, read a few journals--and couldn't come to any other conclusion than the fact that this was an ugly person.
So I stepped in. I went to the supposed attempt-at-suicide page again and finished reading the comments. I gathered that Pony was attention-seeking from the fact that one person who attempted to stay neutral mentioned that people have it worse off than just trolling. Pony refused to offer any details other than "i have it worse" or something to that effect repeated and rephrased throughout the whole thing.

(If I can sidetrack once more to quote Snape; "...forever whining about how bitterly unfair your lives have been. Well, it may have escaped your notice, but life isn't fair.")

I decided I needed to butt in. (Okay, technically I didn't NEED to) Someone had to point out the obvious fact of communication.
So I picked the best place to butt in (The first comment by J I saw; "Dont worry im here with you,that f*cking sl*tty b*tch!why cant she just leave you alone??") and did so.
"I may just be blatantly butting in where I don't belong here, but that was harsh for not really knowing the other person's side, don't you think? Don't get me wrong, I know we're all only human and we all tend to act on first impression, but maybe you should see (B's) side of the story before you make assumptions? Where's your proof of her being a 'f*cking sl*tty b*tch' if you've never had a civil conversation with her before?
It's true that I came to this from (B's) journal, but I'm hoping that maybe a neutral stance can help defuse the problem before it escalates into something too serious.
If (Pony) and (B) can just talk this out reasonably and civilly then there's absolutely no reason to go reporting people. You'd be surprised at how many problems can be diffused through communication.
As for the suicidal thing, perhaps it would be best for (Pomy) to just walk away? If you feel that hurt about it, maybe it would be better if you just leave the whole situation where it is and talk to someone close to you--someone who you know on a personal level. If you truly feel as though you're depressed enough to attempt suicide, you seriously should be seeking comfort in the people physically around you. At the end of the day, words on a computer screen are just that--words. Whether they are typed with malicious intent or the hopes of cheering you up, you'd be surprised how much better you'll feel after talking to someone that can give you physical comfort.
Now I'm not going to claim that you're not truly suicidal, nor am I going to baby you for it. I'm just saying that suicide is no joking matter and if you have depression you NEED to see someone about it. Maybe if you can talk to a family member or a best friend or a loved one you can realize that the 'trolling'--again, I'm not saying it's real or not--really amounts to nothing more or less than a few complex computer codes.
So, can we all please act like civil people now?"
I have yet to recieve any replies, but I'm daring them to call me out. Go ahead, "J", call me your entire extent of crude vocabulary. I dare you.

And really, it is terribly crude. Not long after the journal went up by Pony, J went to B's page and tried to troll  B. It consisted of terrible grammar and a lot of empty words that made little to no sense.
But one thing she said really, really ticked me off:
"you should go and lick some of your friends p***y and dont stop until you stop breathing"
I mean, honestly? For one thing, J's 13. I dunno about you, but if I knew this person in real life I'd shove a bar of soap down her throat. That kind of comment belongs on a porn site, not DeviantART. It's DeviantART, let's keep it that way, yeah?
Second of all, it's totally disrespectful to imply that that type of action is lowly enough to be used as insult. It may not be part of your lifestyle, but it's disrespectful to those whom actually take part in such. ESPECIALLY given the fact that J's most recent journal is about supporting people who are gay/bi/lesbian.
So you're telling one thing to the world, but another to someone else?

I couldn't help it. I butted in and called her on it. "...Perhaps if you were to respond maturely and not bring up 'insults' or 'threats' that include killing or sexual intercourse people would be able to take you seriously and you would actually manage to reach a level of understanding."
I mean, honestly! The whole argument between B and J, J mentions something to do with sex in EVERY. DANG. REPLY.

Why do people have to be so vulgar? It makes me feel horrible for swearing. The world is full of ugly people and uglier terminology. Starting today, I'm going to stop cursing. The only vulgarity you'll get outta me is through my characters--that I promise.
However, expect silliness in return. I won't ever again intentionally curse, but expect to hear some very colorful reactions instead.

(Oh, and also, expect this to be edited once I get any sort of response from my comments. Kthxbai)

PMDE and MMD

In all my midnight ramblings, I realized I still haven't really ever explained MMD!
MikuMikuDance is a sort of Stop-Motion Program that's completely free to download. It uses three-dimensional models that you pose, and is mainly focused towards the characters from Vocaloid. (Definition of Vocaloid as given by UrbanDictionary: "a computer remixing and voice editing program, in which one is supplied with different seiyuu, or voice actors. one shall proceed to type the melody and lyric of a song, and upon pressing play, hear that character sing the chosen song. there are many different vocaloids, but the most common is the first... hatsune miku, literally meaning 'voice of the future' 
she dons bright blue pig tails, a super tiny mini skirt, arm warmers, and flings a leek. there is much of vocaloid on youtube and nico video.") However, one can easily download other available models, and can pose anyone from Iron Man to Frodo Baggins. Some models are 'made', though I have no idea how--most likely from scratch. Some of the more popular model makers include Animasa, Kio, Nukude, and LAT. Others are 'ripped' from games, such as those from Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Lord of the Rings, and even Sonic.
Each of the models is completely 3D--they can be turned at any angle and still have lights, shadows, and highlights both on themselves and on their environment.

Here's what the English Ver. 7.30 looks like when you first open the program

Models aren't the only things that can be made/ripped. Accessories, such as hats, instruments, weapons, food, etc, can also be used through the MMD program. You can even load a 'background' or 'stage' to give the scene an environment!
It makes great stills through an option called 'Render to Picture File', but as it is a Stop-Motion program, most people tend to use it to make 'AMVs' (Animated Music Videos). The nice thing about this is that there are things called 'motion data'. So, for instance, if I wanted Haku Yowane from Vocaloid to do the Macarena, all I'd do is load the model, put it in whatever environment I want, and open the Motion Data file.

(VIDEO IS NOT MADE BY ME. I FOUND IT OFF YOUTUBE AND IT WAS THE FIRST ONE I COULD FIND, SO YEAH. EXCUSE THE AWKWARD OUTFITS KTHXBAI)

Now, on to PMDE! I'm not exactly what 'PMD' stands for, but here's a little blurb about it from Miku Miku Beat:
"PMD Editor is a compact, but powerful tool to give MMD users the chance to create and edit their own models for use with MMD. For a long time, the near indecipherable Japanese user interface and strict technical requirements left many English users high and dry!

For most software, it's up to the user to provide the equipment and environment needed to run the program. If you can't do that, it won't run. But the problem lies in not knowing what those requirements are. I created this page (and this site) to help answer those kinds of questions.PMD can be used either to edit an existing model, or create one from a DirectX 3D model. It takes a bit of practice to learn how to make good models, especially humanoids (Depending on your comprehension of how 3D works, and your skill in using the tool set in the program you most often work with). Some people can take months to finish a model, others just seem to breeze through it. It also depends what you're making.

Alternatively, PMD Editor can now export DirectX files. It's possible that you could use it for data conversion outside of MMD related purposes."

There's supposedly a limited English version floating around somewhere, but I have yet to find it, which sucks because there's really a lot of potential in that program. 

I've done all of my edits through that program, from my first Haku recolor as Aanyx to my most recent work of resizing, deleting, Frankenstien-ing, retexturing, and more. Both the models I'd talked about in the last journal and the SelfModel ver. 5.6 seen in my banner were all made through PMDE. Granted, they're all made by taking another's parts and putting them together (Frankenstien-ing) but I am still quite a newbie at this, so that's okay. I'd like to eventually be able to make my own things with PMDE, but for now I'll have to stick with what I know and keep Tutorial Hunting. 8D

Here's a basic screenshot of all the windows required for PMDE:

Lots of windows...

The biggest window looks much like the view screen on MMD, and that's where you actually get to see what you're doing. The next biggest one is the one I call the 'Main Menu' because you use this one for loading models, adding new parts, recoloring, changing textures, etc. A lot of the less specific things happen through this window. The one in the center I call the 'Layer Menu' because when a model is actually loaded, it lists all the different layers the parts are actually on. The final window I call the 'Size and Move' because the first column of X, Y, and Z moves the model/selected layer/item along each axis. The middle column rotates the selected around each axis, and the final column sizes.

For example, I'll be using my fail Sora model:

View window with model loaded and bones visible

I honestly can't stand the bones visible, because it makes it VERY difficult to see around more often than not. Especially if the model has a skirt or something, because that's a LOT of bones to try and see through.
Notice in the bottom left-hand corner there's a blue thing, a green thing, and an orange thing? The blue one toggles the bones on/off, the green one will show you what parts are on which layer, and the orange one will show you what you've highlighted. More on that later.

There are, unfortunately, only two tabs of the Main Menu that I know how to use. This one is the one most used--each of the numbers on the left represents one of the layers. The colored rectangles labled in blue are the different colors (Top and Bottom fuse to make the main color; Middle is generally the shadow color) and in the bottom right we have the texture/spa/spf boxes. "Skin.bmp" is the texture for Sora's body (even though it's just a square of color) and the type box below that is generally used for .spa or .spf files. These generally give the part of a model a sort of metallic shine depending on the file, but I'm still sorta new to these so I'm not exactly sure how they work...

Here is the other tab I know about. It's quite similar to the first tab, so in a sense I know three tabs, but this one seems to be the only one that works with English models, so I use this one. I have no idea why there's two, but I do know that unless that checkmark is checked, my version of MMD doesn't recognize a model with English data.

Remember the green and the orange? Yeah, here I've highlighted '11' on the layer menu, and it shows his legs. This one is very handy if you're trying to get only one part of a layer to seporate, because you can clearly see what is there to be highlighted. This also comes in handy with recoloring and texturing, since there's really no way to rename layers. All you have to do is find, say, the pants, find out what layer that is, and go into the fourth tab on the Main Menu to change/edit the pants/

The orange shows what you've highlighted as apposed to what else is on that layer. I have a love/hate relationship with this, because on one hand it's very handy when you're working, but on the other every single time you highlight anything that stupid little circle thing pops up and stays there and there's no bloody option to get rid of it. It's the one drawback aside from the lack of English--You can't see around/through the bloody thing!

So yeah, there's a little mini tour of PMDE and MMD! Tune in next time for a step-by-step process of how I use MMD for pictures!

(See, I would make actual stop-motion things but 1 I have nothing to save it with and 2 all my models lag :/)

Spidey Senses, School, and Spammage

Okay, so the other day my Dad and I got a new 4-player RPG game for the whole family to play, since our other options are Rockband 1-3 (and the Beatles Rock Band), Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, WiiSports, Carnival Games (Which is aimed for 10-year-olds, mind you) or a wide selection of PS2 games that can't be played on our projector. (We'd use the TV but it's two years older than me and is horrible for gaming of any kind)
So we got this game called 'Marvel Ultimate Alliance', right? Now I'm not much on Marvel myself--DC was first, their characters are better, AndGreysonHasAlwaysBeenMyFavoriteRegardlessOfWhatHeroHePosesAs --But it's actually really very fun. Even though we have no idea what we're doing half the time since it didn't come with instructions, being a Super Hero is a whole lot of fun :D
It started out as Thor, Spidey, Wolverine, and Capt. America, but we found out we could change characters not long into the game. Of course, by that time I'd already gotten used to Wolverine's Button-Mashing-Required skematics. Honestly, he's one of my least favorite of Marvel (I swear his story confuses me more than the whole Oh-Yeah-By-The-Way-There's-Multiple-Universes-In-Play thing that DC does.) even though my only real exposure to him was that cartoon of the X-Men back in the late 90's-early 2000's.
But lemme tell you, he's quite fun to play as. I get to perfect my button mashing, which has been seriously lacking since I've stopped re-playing KH. He's also a whole lot faster between attacks than any of the other characters I've tried, which means things die faster, and I only ever have to worry about dying when there's a bossfight, since Wolverine has that whole quick healing thingy. (It's the end of Summer Vacation, I have every right not to be able to think coherently, thankyouverymuch)
But anyway, my dad decided to play as Spidey this time instead of Capt. America like he was last night, and I made a discovery that made me literally snort in laughter.
Spider Man in this game is voiced by Quinton Flynn, who also did the voice of Axel in The Kingdom Hearts series. This was extremely amusing, because it left me with the mental image of Spider Man saying 'Got it Memorized?'
To those of you who don't know who Axel is, here's a short video of one of his bigger scenes. (WARNING: MINOR SPOILERS TO KH2'S PLOTLINE!)

Just imagine Spidey saying those lines, and you've pretty much got it down. XD

This discovery was almost as trippy as when I found out that Sora's voice actor is apparently related to Emily Osment, who plays that blonde chick in the Hannah Montana TV show. (This, of course, lead to the mental image of Sora as a major Hannah/Miley fan XD)
So, so far we have Axel-who's-really-Spidey-in-civvies, Sora-who-is-Vanitas-who's-a-closet-Hannah-Montana-fan, Roxas-who-is-Ventus-who-is-a-former-pop-singer-who's-also-the-only-male-character-in-the-Tinkerbell-movies-not-to-mention-Theodore-from-Alvin-and-the-Chipmunks-but-also-one-of-my-favorite-VA's-for-Robin-in-Young-Justice-and-the-emo-Who-Jojo. If you understood that last one you get major props, cause even I'm lost on that.

Okay, onto the next topic: SCHOOL. Yes, that's right, it's that time of year again, folks. I'm registering for (holy crap) Senior Year tomorrow. Should I be sleeping right now? Probably, but I dun't wanna.
I honestly can't believe that I'm starting my Senior year within the next few weeks. I mean, honestly, what's up with that? What happened to Elementary School? AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I know it's gonna be a tiring registration, though, because I was stupid and signed up for a class that I quickly realized wasn't at all in my interests. See, remember my friend Sitch? Well, she told me she signed up for Criminal Justice as her Government class, and since I haven't had a class with her since 5th grade, I signed up for it too. Except it was only after I couldn't do anything about it that I realized that was really, really stupid of me. For one, there's a very slim chance we'll get the same period, much less the same teacher. For two, I'm going to be an Imagineer, for crying out loud. I really don't think I'm going to need that class. I'd set myself up to fail, seriously.
But the only problem with that is the councilors at my school. You can't get anything done with them unless you kiss their asses every day. Honest, I've seen it happen.
A few years back I needed to switch out of a class. The teacher scared me, I couldn't learn squat from his methods, and I didn't dare approach him about it because he gave me a vibe that screamed pedo (of course, it didn't help the fact that the only people that seem to get along with him are the skinny, preppy, boarderline-cheerleader-stereotype girls that would hang out in his classroom in the mornings and at lunch.) So, considering all this was hurting my grade quite a bit, I decided I should try and switch. Anyone can agree that people try and stress that councilors are there to help you, right? Well, guess what? Mine wasn't!
The girl before me got in and out really quickly, the problem seemed to be solved very smoothly, and the two of them kept talking for a good ten minutes more after that, so I thought I had nothing to worry about.
Except, I get in there and I explain it, and she tries to pin it on the fact that I don't have a planner. AN EFFING PLANNER. I felt so stressed and lost and helpless by the end that I had to go to the nurse so that my dad could take me home because I didn't want to cry in class. Seriously, that woman made me feel like shit.
Naturally, my parents are awesome, and they stepped in and went over my councilor's head about it. Problem solved.
But it's obvious that all the councilors play favorites. I'm not the only one who's met dead ends with councilors about that sort of thing, so I'm a little less than anxious to hear the earful that I'm no doubt going to get from her tomorrow about 'responsibility' and what-not. Thankfully my parents are awesome, and I know my mom will back me on my choices about it. So IN YO FACE, MISS I-ONLY-HELP-THOSE-THAT-KISS-MY-ARSE!
Haha, that felt good, even if she'll probably never hear me say that, it's still nice nonetheless to be able to say that. 8D

OOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!! Before I forget, I've been working on my PMDE skills for my Stop-Motion Program, MMD!
In honor of having finished writing ATJ and to accompany it's sequel-that-still-has-yet-to-be-titled, I've been working on making models for each of the characters' new outfits. (CLICK EACH PICTURE FOR BIGGER IMAGE)
I've only done one and a half so far, but here's what I've got:
AANYX

Original Model: Haku Yowane by Nukude. Edit by SincerelyDoubtfulProductions.

Changes from original model:
Hair length; removed 'antennae', original shirt, and tie; recolored pants, hair, belt, pants, shoes, and eyes; modded feet bigger to keep in 'KH-style', turned shirtless torso and arm warmers into a turtleneck.
This model was very simple to edit. Aanyx was my first edit back when I'd first discovered MMD and PMDE, and I can proudly say she's come a long way since then. I also did a lot of 'firsts' with this model as well; first resizing, first deleting, as well as experimenting on removing only parts of things and putting them on a different layer to recolor them (which I did for the pants and shirt). I'm really proud in that it not only looks like Aanyx but it doesn't lag AT ALL, which is about the only model that this occurs for X3

SORA

Original character (c) Square Enix and Disney

Parts used: KH2 Sora (Hair, pouches, hands, necklace, shoes, skin tone) by NiladtheRogue, KAITO (Base-face, torso, legs) by Kio, Kiyoteru Hiyama (Eyebrows) by ChieMadara, Append Len (Shorts) by (???)
...Eew. Just EW. This model was a NIGHTMARE, it took me a day to find all the parts, about three hours to remove the hair from Sora's effing head, and another who-knows-how-long putting it all together so it can function. His hair was SO DAMN DIFFICULT. Seriously, I'm surprised I'm not crosseyed from trying to put it on its own damn layer so that I could monkey with it. I would have totally given up and used the hair off Heleannor's model, but 1) she said no editing, 2) someone's already giving her a hard time about redistributing her models, and 3) she's really such a sweetheart. :3 I've only ever talked to her in passing but every time I do she's so nice about her model downloads, I can't bear to use her parts. It's bad enough I feel guilty for messing around with her Kairi when I was still trying to understand PMDE... (For this reason, Kairi will NOT be getting an update in my sequel fic. I have no intention of ever distributing my fail edits, but even then Heleannor doesn't want people editing her things, so I won't do it.)
So yeah, back to his hair. HIS EFING HAIR. I had to totally un-texture it because it's that mutilated, and that's why the color looks so flat and gross. I sketched out a rough design not long after I'd finished ATJ, and I made his hair a bit more KH1-ish than KH2-ish, so I tried to re-create that into the model. I'd like it to be more poufy, but I'm all fed up with him for now. :/ Damn Keybearer and his damn hair....
So he's as of now textureless (minus necklace and shoes because NiladtheRogue is amazing and they needed no editing.) His skin needs major work, too, because for some reason only his face changes with the lighting even though it's all on the same texture/coloring/shiney-ness. I say texture VERY lightly, considering I took a square sample of Sora's skintone through MSPaint and saved it as a .bmp file. No shading, no nothing. Needs. Definition. BADLY.
But I do like this version a bit better than his first edit I did, because I wanted him to actually have a different OUTFIT. One that was a bit less...crazy...
These next pictures are the only ones I took with him in this edit, and fair warning to those that've read the fanfic, it could be considered crack.
See, I sorta got to thinking that maybe Aanyx/Roxas as a pairing was a bit too....okay, I can't think of a word for it. Old hat?
So anyway, I decided to make a sort of chart: all the characters of both the KH-cannon-verse and the ATJ-cannon-verse. I didn't get very far, but I did manage to extract a few pairings with Aanyx that I can honestly see happening:
(The order is Seme/Uke, or Who wears the pants/who doesn't, which is why Aanyx isn't always first. Strong-willed though she may be, there are some characters who--by force or otherwise--will definitely not take to being Uke.)
Aanyx/Roxas (Original intended pairing, it has hints throughout the fanfiction)
Aanyx/Riku (I wrote one scene of it towards the beginning, and crack though it may be, I can still see it happening in one of those 'I hate your guts so let's make out in the corner' kind of ways.)
Aanyx/Ventus (Sorta like Aanyx/Roxas, but I think Ven would make her a bit less violent...)
Vanitas/Aanyx (Contrariwise to the above, this one would be violent and most definitely NOT suitable for minors.)
Xemnas/Aanyx (I've only just recently started appreciating Xemnas' character. I can see Aanyx finding him sexy regardless of who she's paired with, honestly.)
Aanyx/Kairi (Given the fact that I don't really care who swings which way, I'm not above same-sex-pairings. I can totally see this one working as Aanyx being the knight-in-shining-armor or whatever.)
Aanyx/Namine (See above; also, I think this one would be much more fluff-and-cuddles than Aanyx/Kairi.)
Aanyx/Xcaiyet (We've got a whip-weilding Nobody and a girl who changes into a giant-ass wolf in heat once a month. 'nuff said.)
(Honestly, I can't see Aanyx with Narexk. I CAN, however, see Xcaiyet with Narexk.)
Saix/Aanyx (About as fiery as Van/Aanyx would be, if not a little less so. Maybe more along the lines of Aanyx/Xcaiyet.)
Aanyx/Sora
Now this last one...well, I had fun messing around on MMD with this one. Rest assured, everything is suitable for all ages, promise. Though some of the above pairings may reach NC-17 or worse, I seriously doubt this one ever will.

*Dead Master model by Windows 100. Background of Neon Town from Kingdom Hearts series, (c)  Square Enix/Disney

Promise

...Yeah, I had fun with this one. Sora's so short OTL
This model was a total cheat. I took the torso off and replaced it with the one from Kio's KAITO, recolored the chest the same way I did with Aanyx, and gave it the hands of Nilad's model/ the texture off a Mer!Sora model I got off Youtube (of course, that was back before I realized that the model was actually Heleannor's, and thus is the reason why I took the texture off the update.)

I also started a Xcaiyet model but her ears and tail refuse to attach so I'll have to go tutorial hunting before I can show her off. (That and I'm not entirely sure I was allowed to edit the Append Rin so I'll have to double check. I know the Readme for the Append Len didn't say so I'm safe on that respect, but I dunno about Rin...) Darn PMDE and it not being in English! I would be WAY faster at learning things on it if I knew what the heck all the options were, cuz then I would be able to monkey around without feeling like I'm about to make the computer blow up or something...

S'yeah. My next model after Sora and Xcaiyet are figured out is (hopefully) gonna be Xemnas, since I'm aiming to finish them in the order that they appear in the sequel. (I'm already writing chapter 4 but I won't post any of it until I can finish these models.)
I found a dressup doll maker thingy on DevArt for Xemnas, so here's a preview of what I'll (hopefully) get Xemnas to look like:

What is it with silver-haired bishies that makes them so much sexier in glasses?

...Except he probably won't have the tattoo because I have NO idea how to go about drawing that, much less making it into a texture. But oh well, he'll still be sexy regardless.
I'll also be redoing Riku ('Cause I really didn't like his KH2 outfit), Namine (Because, really, she's been in the same dress for how long now? It looks as long as a regular shirt, I swear.), and Roxas. Roxas' edit will be more hell than Sora's I garuntee it. I mean, look what I've left for myself to design? Ugh, It makes my eyes hurt just thinking about it....


Okay, seeing as I've rambled for a good two hours, I really think I should try and sleep now. Especially since I'm supposed to be waking up in four and a half hours for registration....

Quoth the author, "Pottermore"

Cannon n. Commonly used by fans of any particular book, movie, TV series, etc. Typically used in accordance with aforementioned book, movie, TV series, etc's plotline. If something is cannon it is true to the plotline set out by the creator of aforementioned fandom. 

In layman's terms, something is only cannon if it can be backed by the original material. IE Harry Potter's godfather is Sirius Black. This is cannon because it is stated in both the third film and book.

Fannon n. Commonly used by fans of any particular book, movie, TV series, etc. Typically used in accordance with aforementioned book, movie, TV series, etc's plotline. If something is fannon it is not true to the plotline set out by the creator of said fandom.

In layman's terms, something is fannon if it has no proof within the original material. IE Professor McGonnagal had children. This is fannon because very little is known about McGonnagal other than that she is Transfiguration teacher, Head of Gryffindor House, and Deputy Headmistress to Professor Dumbledore.

So, having said that, I'm utterly confused. Cannon to the books is the original, legit cannon regarding Harry Potter, right? The books were written by the original creator, Jo Rowling, and therefore can only contradict one another. But some things that are cannon to the movies aren't cannon to the books. In the books, Hagrid never had bats or crows. In the books, Harry got the sword of Godric Gryffindor after he'd placed it on his head, it didn't just appear while still on the ground. (Yes, these are petty details, but if I were to give more solid examples they would no doubt be considered spoilers.)

So does that mean that what's cannon to the movies is fannon to the books?

I dunno, but I do know that I'm all Pottered up. XD Pottermore's sneak preview window thingy opened at midnight, and I got in--sorta. I'm still waiting for my Welcome email, but the FAQ's said it would probably take a while since so many millions of people are trying to get in. Check out the website for more info--I'm not gonna spoil nothin fer nobody.

However, with school starting up soon, expect a minimum of a post a week. I'm trying to keep my writing up, even if it's just ranting or rambling about my day/week. I'd like to eventually get up to a post a day, but as it IS my senior year, don't get your hopes up. I have to bring myself into the top 25 students in order to attend U of A, which means me actually doing homework when it's assigned instead of half-arsing it the night before. I'm aiming for straight A's all year, which means I may very well kill what little 'social time' I currently posess. Said social time being solely myself doing Merlin-knows-what on a computer and generally staring at screens reading/writing fanfiction or playing around on MMD.

S'yeah. Where the hell did my summer go? T_T

The Disney Room, part 01

So back when Summer Vacation started, I mentioned redoing my room (this was somewhere between end of May and early June) and I finally got around to taking some pictures of it.
Of course, I've not yet done the curtains, but bear with me here. :)

 First up, straight from the doorway shot. Yeah, my bed's a futon, but normally I just leave it like that--piled with stuffed animals, pillows, and blankets.

 Directly in front of the door, we have my shelves o' stuff, trunk, and the foot of my bed. (feel free to ignore the tub and pillow and whatnot, I'm still not quite used to having a completely clean room.) Yeah, that's my laptop on the end of the bed there :)

 My pride and joy, completely free-handed Disney castle! I pulled up, like, ten pictures of both Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella castles (DLR and WDW respectively) and just sorta...painted...
About an hour later, this was the result :) It's quite big, taking up the whole half-wall thingy between my closet and my door, and it comes to about my shoulders at it's highest.

 Mickey Shower Curtain XP My closet's big enough to use the whole curtain with little to no wrinkes XP
What's a Disney Room without some good old Mickey Mouse?

 Here's the wall directly to the left of the door, with the rickety shelves o' stuff. The bottom two shelves are JUST movies and games--mostly Disney VHS since I'm the only one in the house with a working VCR :)
I'm gonna ramble a bit about the walls themselves, since this is the best shot of them, I think.
I started with the lightest blue on the bottom and slowly mixed in the purple. Whenever the brush/roller got dry I would crossfade into the blue a bit, to give it more of a blended look. (Kudos to my Stage Management teacher for showing me the video that taught me how to do that last year.) Once I was at about the top of the door I started to blend in the darkest navy-ish color (same color used for the castle) and the ceiling itself is just that color--no mix, like the lightest color had been. It's kinda texturized, though, because the green that it was before shows through in some spots. But once the sun's down it looks wicked cool because without as much light the green makes it look like stars and clouds and how the real sky looks XP

 This is the wall opposite the one I just rambled about. Bookcase on the far left, desk that was my mom's that was my sister's that's now mine, chair that's all that's left of my loft bed (birthday present two years ago, my dad made the bed in '01 back before we moved) and TV stand with my White Rabbit hat on top. I feel really lucky 'cuz I may not get any stations whatsoever but I have a DVD player, VCR, AND a PS2 in here :D Even if it is a tempermental old thing the only games it's willing to play are the only ones I ever really play regardless, so it's happy and so am I :D

Closet-and-castle shot. Yeah, my room's MASSIVE, and I love it. Except for when I've spent all day doing next to nothing but staring at the walls/ceiling/ugly-as-all-heck carpet (I wanna get it outta here but my mom said one project at a time) and going stircrazy.
But at least I'm going stir crazy in a Disney Room of epic awesomeness XP
The curtains are white in the pictures, but I'm about a fourth of the way done with painting them.
I started with the window by the desk; Oswald grabbing the part in the middle on one side and three of his bunnychildren stacked up reaching for the other side :3 (The Bunnychilderen first starred in Trolley Troubles, but were later incorporated into Epic Mickey. I've seen many 'fanbaby' Bunnychilderen and I sort of based those three on some of my favorites.) I'm not too sure what I'll do with the other window's curtains, but I'll post pictures once I'm done with both windows :)

S'yeah.

WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS REGARDING THE HARRY POTTER SERIES, AS WELL AS THE CARTOON YOUNG JUSTICE. READ AT OWN RISK.
Long time no see (Again). So much for keeping up the post-a-day thing, eh?
We went for Dairy Queen today. In the rain. Driving through puddles that could have easily flooded us out.
It was fun. :D
And I saw HP7 part 2 again today, which was weird because we rarely go see movies during the day.
But we WERE going to go to this liquidation sale thingy that supposedly had stuff for 5 bucks--we're talking, like, school supplies, iPods, clothes, designer shoes--occording to the radio ad, which lasted about three-plus minutes talking about all the stuff you could get for five bucks.
When we got there, the only thing that was five bucks, according to the very angry father outside the store, was the entrance fee.
Seriously. They were charging five bucks just to get in and walk around. Also according to said very angry father, everything was either around or over the $100 range.
Dude, false advertising sucks. Like, major. :/

So instead we went to see HP7 part 2 :D
I think I cried more this time than I did last time, but maybe that's because when we saw it opening night we were in the front row and it was 3D and you literally had to move your head from side to side in order to see all of it.
And then we came home and I read HP fan comics 8D
OOH, speaking of Harry Potter, did you know that JKRowling, the most amazing author in the whole world, is opening up a new site in October? It's called "Pottermore" and it is amazing.
Basically, because she's gotten such a positive reaction to her stories, Rowling's decided to give us the story like it's never been seen before, where WE get to be a part of it.
All hail the glorious and god-like Rowling!
Seriously. Bow down to her. Not only is she so awesome for creating the series that quite literally saved literature for my generation, nor even because of Pottermore. What I love most about Rowling is that she's level-headed about it all. She doesn't let fame get to her, she gives back to charities and the community all the time, AND she's flat-out stated that if she does continue the Potter-Verse it'll be because, and I quote, "It's my baby and I can do whatever I want with it."
The Harry Potter series has had an enormous influence to my life. Back in kindergarten, my mom first introduced me to the series by reading Sorcerer's Stone to my sister and I every night. Even to this day, despite the copy being more tape than paper, I can't pick that book up without remembering my mom's voice reading me to sleep--laying backwards on my bed, picking at the hem of blankets. One scene that always comes to mind is when Harry, Ron, and Hermione snuck out to Hagrid's hut under the invisibility cloak. I quite distinctly remember picturing the dormitories, the grounds of Hogwarts, and--perhaps most vividly--Draco's hair. I don't know why his hair, but something in the way my mom described it always made that aspect stick out in my mind. (Much like, when I was reading Goblet of Fire the first time, I had the mental image of Dumbledore running around with his 'full bladder' making him look somehow pregnant as he ran around in his robes and slippers XD)
Not only has the series provoaked my reading skills, but it is also one of the major sources of inspiration when I first started writing. I remember very clearly my first character for the Harry Potter series--sue though she may have been, it was still nonetheless thanks to Rowling's work that I write the way I am today. More often than not, when I'm not entirely sure if a writing rule I'm using is right or not, I'll pull out a copy of one of the books and find out what Rowling did in that situation. Thanks to the Harry Potter series, I learned that each line of dialogue needs to be indented--and, for that matter, I learned that if a dialogue gets to be too long, you can break it up into a new paragraph. Thanks to HP, I learned that after dialogue, you capitalize the next word unless you end the dialogue with a comma.
I think my style of writing is greatly influenced by the series as well--I word things frequently in the same way that Rowling does, though this is usually unintentional and I've only ever caught it in my fiction.

Here's another, slightly-off-topic-but-not random little tidbit of irony for you. When the first Harry Potter film came out, my sister was eleven years old. Now, after the seventh installment has finished, I'm seventeen years old. In the first film, Harry Potter was eleven years old. By year seven, he was seventeen years old.

I say 'was', by the way, because the series is set in the 90's. Book one in 1991, book seven in 1997. Following that logic, the Epilogue will be taking place September of 2016. So right now we're, like, somewhere between the aftereffects of The Battle Of Hogwarts and Albus Severus Potter's first day of school.
Yes, I know these things.

Though (to once more completely jump tracks) that's not quite as weird as the Cartoon Network series Young Justice. The first episode (which aired sometime last year) took place July 4th, 2011. On the Young Justice Wiki, they have a timeline from the early 1900's to the most recent episode, which takes place in September of this year, if I remember correctly. It's really kinda trippy to be able to go on there and be like, "Oh, in three hours, the team's gonna decide to go camping," or "Wow, Superboy just saved that schoolbus in Metropolis, like, three minutes ago!"
For example, yesterday the team had their first mission debriefing with Batman. Tomorrow, Dr. Sterling Roquette will be abducted by The League of Shadows.
Trippy, huh?

Well, I think I've rambled enough for one entry, eh?

Instinct

WARNING: Includes mentions of the need to heed nature's call.
             Bathroom. Though the thought hadn't reached the level of coherency towards the actual word itself, it was nonetheless this thought that stirred the girl from her deep slumber. She fumbled for her phone to access the flashlight app, squinting at the sudden attack of light on her pupils, and staggered sleepily to her door. The wood creaked in typical protest, but the girl was still half-unconscious and paid it no mind, crossing the ten-some-odd hallway tiles to the loo...
           ...Only to suddenly feel herself wide awake the moment she'd flipped the lights on. There, stark as daylight against the freshly laundered white rug, sat a cockroach. It twitched its antennae at the girl. The girl stared at it.
          She wondered briefly if she should just turn around and go back to bed, and had even turned the light off and turned around before realizing that she could never sleep knowing it was there. Bodily urges aside, the dooming knowledge that it could easily scuttle under her door and onto her bed mid-slumber was enough for the girl to set about finding a way to end the thing's life.
         The little quest didn't last long--she found a promisingly full spray bottle labeled 'BUG DEATH' in red sharpie under the kitchen sink and silently returned to the bathroom. The girl fleetingly hoped that it had just been her imagination--but, alas, the roach still sat exactly where it had been, antennae twitching.
        Toes curling, she began the frontal attack. The girl had successfully cornered the thing and was ready to squirt till it died when the handle to the bottle popped.
       It ceased to function entirely. The girl sat on the sink and kept her feet off the ground and glared at the insect. The insect cowered in the crevice between bathtub and wall, one antennae stuck to itself from the previously relentless spray of Bug Death. The bathroom floor was sticky and made the whole room smell like sweaty feet and old sponges.
        With a nod of resolve the girl set the Bug Death on the counter behind her and slowly backed from the room, eyes glued to the insect to make sure it wouldn't spring at her. It remained in the corner, still cornered, so she returned to the kitchen and carefully browsed through the cleaners. Her paranoia screamed caution--what if there were more? What if it was like the Indiana Jones ride in Disneyland, and they were just waiting to ambush? What if there were more creepy crawlies?
       The faded purple can of RAID reassured the girl slightly, though she doubted its promise of instant death to cockroaches. After all, they were said to be the most durable insects--hadn't there been one in Wall-E?
        Refocusing her sleep-deprived mind to the task at hand she shook the can, deemed it full enough to get the job done, and returned to her safe position off the ground. As she'd hoped, the cockroach still hadn't moved. With a determined glare she sprayed again, now confidant that her weapon of choice would, at the very least, kill the thing.
          Panic. The insect scurried away from the corner and towards the girl. The girl withheld a shriek for her sleeping family's sake and sprayed closer, determined to kill the roach. It floundered somewhere in between the rug and the corner before ceasing movement. The girl continued spraying for a good thirty seconds or so, fleetingly noting that the RAID at least smelt better than the Bug Death had.
       And then it was in a puddle of foamy white, and the girl deemed it safe to stop wasting their only functioning bug spray. The sight of the roach dead, somehow, repulsed the girl even further, toes curling once more on the toilet lid. She felt like crying and flipping the dead insect off at the same time. 'Beware the fury of a woman with RAID,' she thought idly, retreating once more.
      The girl spotted the lid to a plastic tub in the hall and snatched it, carefully hiding the carcass behind the lid so she could, at last, heed nature's call. So grateful was she that the battle had been won that it wasn't until she'd reached for toilet paper when she realized she'd left the bathroom door wide. In most cases this wouldn't have been that big of a deal, if it weren't for her parents' bedroom door directly to the right of the bathroom, nor her sister's door visible but slightly farther away to the left.
        Blushing and hoping beyond hope that her little adventure hadn't woken any of the other occupants of the house, the girl quickly finished and retreated into her room, thankful that neither door had opened in her embarrassing situation.
       The moment her door closed behind her--once more creaking in protest--she dove for her sock drawer and extracted the first two she could see, in desperate need of something over her toes to quell her paranoia. The battle won, bodily urges quelled, paranoia stoppered, the girl sat down at her desk and eased her adrenalline-high mind the only way she knew how--by opening her neglected blog from the previous year's Creative Writing class and writing about it.

Haha, yeah, that really did just happen to me. Yes, we really have a bottle labeled 'BUG DEATH' and yes, it broke when I tried to use it. Seriously. :/ Not fun, but I'm tired and it's technically 'tomorrow' already so I'm going to go back to bed. Night.

Yes, I hate them with all the firey passion of hell, and yes, I really did just write a drabble that can be summed into the following sentence; "I had to pee, but I saw a cockroach in the bathroom, so I killed it, but left the door open on accident when I actually used the loo." And then Cola dragged herself off the laptop and went back to sleep. The end.

Potter Week Begins

Yo! Happy Potter Week! (The eighth movie comes out exactly seven days from now! OMG!)
So in honor of POTTER WEEK I'm watching a movie a day XD
THEY'RE SO CUTE AND YOUNG IN THE FIRST ONE!!!

...Okay, I'm done fangeeking. For now.
Though I do have every reason to celebrate; I FINALLY finished my monster of a fanfic! Yes, that's right, after four years of off-and-on working on it, I have FINALLY finished A Twilit Journey: Aanyx's Tale, my Kingdom Hearts Fanfic! I feel so proud of myself, especially since I've had most of the last two chapters written for the better part of a year...

You know what's kinda funny about Harry Potter? The actors have sort of incorporated their characters' personalities into their own. Before filming Prisoner of Azkaban, the director asked Dan, Rupert, and Emma to write him an essay about their characters. Rupert (Ron) didn't do it, Dan (Harry) did mediocre, just-enough-to-pass length, and Emma (Hermione) wrote about five-plus pages on it.
When the trio were interviewed before the London Premiere, they were asked what their favorite parts of the experience were. Dan--true to Harry--talked about the experiences. Emma--true to Hermione--talked about several things in great detail. Rupert--my personal favorite and true to Ron--said "this." Nope, he didn't elaborate. Just "this." XD

How Un-Patriotic...

Yo! Happy 4th of July!
Nothing says 'Independence Day' like sitting in a t-shirt from Sweden, eating Mexican food, and fangirling over Draco/Harry goodnes while drinking tea. That's right, rebellious pilgrims of the past, I'm drinking tea.
Though my dad did get an American Flag to fly today instead of the one from Lord of the Rings that usually sits outside my window. For fangeeks that care to know, it's the King of Gondor's.

So I can't say that I'm completely UNpatriotic--I'm just not feeling the American spirit, or whatever one feels on 4th of July. Hence my only semi-patriotic actions being the flag outside my window and half-paying attention to the fireworks show on tv (the Macy's one, I think--channel 4 anyway) while trying to ignore the cringe-worthy Country renditions of 'classics'. Not that there's anything wrong with Country, per se--I just can only take so much of the whiney southern twang before needing to slam my head against something repeatedly.

On a completely unrelated note, We got a huge monsoon storm today. It made me happy 
No, seriously, this thing was massive. I couldn't see the aforementioned flag even though it sits about five feet away from my window.
We have a sail shade (it's like a triangular tarp shade) that could have almost ripped half our roof off if we didn't get it down. I took one step outside and I was sopped. Like, just-jumped-into-the-pool-with-all-your-clothes-on sopped. Quite the adventure.

EDIT: I just found out that there's more words to 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' than the chorus that everyone knows. Also, even though anyone caught lighting fireworks in Tucson City Limits is going to be arressted, someone apparently not far from us just started lighting them off. People are IDIOTS even on days like today...

So here's a very un-inthused Cola, wishing all of you invisible readers a 'mused Fourth of July!
