Remnants Of A Broken Arrancar

Swine Flu and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

2009-09-24T00:01:41Z

Swine flu is being blown out of proportion, me thinks. It's really no worse than the actual flu. In fact, the flu kills more people a year than this silly swine flu has killed. We're just getting all worked up for nothing. I mean, yes, some people have died from it, and that is a very sad statistic, however, it's very lucky that it wasn't more X____x

Marilyn Manson has swine flu :O A friend of mine told me that this morning, and I became a bit sad :/ According to the article, though, his doctor said he'll be fine. I hope that's true. He's one of my favorite musicians, so I'd be overwhelmingly upset if he passed...

New Kingdom Hearts game comes out in 6 days! Who's excited? I have to admit, I'm a bit anxious. I'm very excited to be able to play as all the members of Organization 13. Xion, well, I couldn't care less about her XD In my eyes, she's nothing more than a hermaphrodite Mary/Gary Stu who vies for attention all the time. She also pretty much ripped Axel and Roxas apart >___< They were best friends, and then she comes along and destroys that. And now people are pairing her up with the two of them...that's gross >____< Preferably, I like Akuroku. Yes, it does sound like a "fangirl" thing to say, but honestly, it does...kind of make sense... And it's...cute... I mean, I'm not a crazy obsessed fangirl. Hell, I'm just a proud shipper of the pairing. The word "fangirl" is usually connotated in a negative way, so I just prefer "shipper", just like I'm a proud shipper of Final Fantasy pairings.

I also think that there's a fine line between crazy fangirl and sensible shipper. Most shippers can usually tolerate and sometimes even grow to like the female characters in a series. A fangirl...cannot, and is willing to bash that character to pieces. I have no problems with any female characters, with the exception of Kairi -____- For some reason, I can not stand that girl. Her, and Xion. They may as well be the same person. I guess I just reeeallly detest the whole "weak female" thing. Yes, I'm aware she gets a keyblade, but in my opinion, she's still...just useless. :/ Tifa's pretty kickass. She rocked Advent Children. And even Aerith had those healing powers, I believe. So, you've no reason to call me out on it because "I don't like the girl characters." :) At least Xion...

You are now entering Spoiler Mode. If you do not wish to read the spoilers, scroll down (quickly!) until you see more red text like this where it says "End Spoiler Mode" or just turn back, lest Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days be spoiled for you forever D: :) Thank chuu~

Alright, now that that's been attended to...

Xion....

DIES -le gasp- x) You heard it here, folks. She dies. In Roxas' arms. Awww, how dramatic and Mary Stu-ish of her. After she attempted to KILL HIM. -_____- Sometimes, I really don't understand Square Enix. Not at all...

The Kingdom Hearts series was just fine before they decided to "spice it up." X_____x However, I found something that is hopefully true and will make my gaming experience of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days that much better x)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnsYwDLCxSQ&feature=channel_page

Apparently, according to the video, the joke weapons are unlocked after you complete Story Mode x) I'm not quite sure, as I haven't played the game yet, but when I do and after I complete Story Mode, I will update~! :) By the way, for whoever was wondering, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is pronounced "Kingdom Hearts Three-Five-Eight Over Two Days" You will understand it after you play the game, according to Squeenix. :)

END SPOILER MODE :)

And for the people that didn't read the spoilers, or the ones that did, here is a video for chu~! :) (No spoilers :)) Warning: Video is not safe to watch if you don't enjoy unnaturally cute things x3

Oddities and random things~ <33

2009-09-02T23:23:15Z

Working on a few OC character designs on an original book that i'm currently writing~ x) They're quite interesting, I must say, and I love each and every one of them to pieces. Ah...writing is love, but writer's block and school = hate X_____x I've written out short bios for each of them to get a feel for how they are so I can write them better, I just think that perhaps I need to develop one of their personalities a little bit more... Can't really go into extreme detail about them, because I still need to trademark/copyright them, so until then, little info shall be given X___x

I can, however, tell you that one of their back stories is a bit angsty, another's is a bit more normal, and one of them...is a little twisted in the head x) Each one of them is vastly different in both appearance and personality, because writing about 3 different characters with the same personalities would be extremely dull, ne? There will be 4 books in the series that I've planned, and though I should be writing the first two first, I've decided to write the 3rd one first, because that character seems to be the most diverse...and the most fun to write xD

Oh, twould be lovely if these got published... Of course, I don't think many publishing companies or editors would really take me seriously, because of my age... >___> Young writers are quite capable of writing as well as, or even better than, older ones that "have more experience." Yes, we're young, and yes, perhaps we haven't gained as many of life's experiences as another generation of author, but that doesn't mean that we're incapacitated when it comes to writing. Sure, I've read some...questionable original stories by young authors, but just because there are some bad seeds in the bunch doesnt mean we're all terrible, right...?

Personally, one of my best friend's writings could run circles around S. Meyer. But, then again, I don't really consider the Twilight series that great of a book. I consider it a curse to all literature everywhere... >___>

But before a random Twitard comes out of nowhere to flame me for my opinion... Meh. The first book in my series is kind of giving me trouble. My character is resisting against what I wish for him to do. I'm trying to figure out what he's attempting to tell me, but it's difficult... Hopefully a couple of my muses will be able to interpret him, because at this moment, I sure as hell can't...

Well, that's all there is to say, really. :) If you wish for additional information on my series, then feel free to comment below~! Remember, however, that I can't say too much for fear that someone may steal my character's design... >___< I worked too hard to have them snatched away from me. Now, off to play RE4~! :)

Looking for Hello Kitty Water Bottle

2009-08-17T22:01:32Z

So just recently, my cute little Hello Kitty water bottle broke, and I was so upset! :( So, I decided I might as well ask if anyone had this water bottle who would be willing to sell it to me. It looks like this
Much pref. if it's new. If you DO own this water bottle and would be willing to sell it to me, please comment on this journal post or send me an e-mail at llawlietfangirl@yahoo.com Thank you :)

Happy Birthday Cloud Strife x]

2009-08-11T15:10:55Z

Meh... August 11th is the birthday of rather famous anime character Cloud Strife :3 I wish him a happy birthday! :D XD Oh...got distracted by my Tamagotchi x3 It's cute, even if it is still a fat little lump :3 May write a story for the Chocobo head... It'll be quite short, mind you, just a little drabble, but...a story nonetheless for one of my favorite anime characters :) Will probably post it on my Fanfiction account http://www.fanfiction.net/~punkalchemist So, if you like all things Cloudy and..ahm...chocobo like...then maybe you'd like to read it~! That is all. :)

Having a miscellaneous sale... :]

2009-07-31T20:30:17Z

Alright, so, in order to fuel my much under-indulged passion of buying doujinshi and sweets, I'm selling some things of mine...

New!!!! As I no longer have any use for it, I am selling my pretty blue Playstation 2 controller and memory card. The memory card has been used and has files on it from both Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, both finished, and I believe it may have a final fantasy game file on it, not too sure, along with a few other game files. They can be erased :) The controller is pretty much brand new and very gently used. It's a clear blue color. Make me a reasonable offer! I'd like to put these as a package deal, so I don't have to split them up.

Aha, let's start with some purses of mine that need to be sold x3

This is the exact picture of the purse, please excuse the poor photography x3. I am selling a black XOXO cherry purse. It's in very good condition, since I only used it once, and would make a cute pressie for someone special ^__^ $12.00+S&H price may be negotiable.

A make-up bag, too! It's from "The Body Shop", and metallicy in color. Never used and in excellent condition. :) $8.50+S&H Price may be negotiable. :)

I am also selling two of the four Twilight books. They were...gag gifts from friends, seeing as I really don't care much for the series ^__^ The Twilight one is a soft cover, and New Moon is hard cover. Uhm...negotiable prices...just...make me an offer x) [Oh, they're in pretty sweet condition, the first Twilight book has very minor cover wear]

I am selling 2 beanies! They're both extremely soft and lovely and warm :) The first one is a Hurley Int'l beanie. It fits comfortably snug, but doesnt have a size on the tag X____X $7.50+S&H :]

The next beanie I'm selling is by Berkshire Fashions Inc. It's very warm and comfy, and the tag says "One Size Fits All", so I guess..take that as you will x) $5+S&H

Another book I'm selling is called "Luna Bay". I...dont know how much to sell that for...how does... $3.50+S&H sound...? :) [The photo presented is a stock photo, however, since i've only read the book once, it is in excellent condition :)] I believe it's the first book in the "Luna Bay" series...?

Ah! And I'm selling 2 gamecube discs. Just discs, mind you. The first one is The Sims Bustin Out for Gamecube. Rated T for obvious reasons :) Make me an offer. :)

The second disc is Resident Evil 4 for Gamecube. Only disc 1, though :( It is Rated M for graphic bloody violence and mild language. When I say graphic, I mean GRAPHIC. Example?: In one particular scene, the main character, Leon Scott Kennedy, can get his head bitten clean off by a zombie, spraying blood everywhere. Not recommended for anyone under the age of 16. Make me an offer. :)

I will be selling other items on this journal, as well, so look for weekly updates. :) Feel free to comment me here or send me an e-mail at the e-mail address listed below x]

Ah, and I am taking commissions on drawings. If you would like to see an example of my art, please e-mail me at llawlietfangirl@yahoo.com :)
My prices depend on if you want a full body shot, a headshot, group shot, etc. So, please explain in greatest detail what you wish :)

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince [[warning: spoilers]]

2009-07-17T16:13:19Z

So last night, I went to go see the new Harry Potter movie with one of my best friends. We bought Harry Potter blood pops and Drooble's Best Blowing Gum before the movie, not realizing beforehand just how red the lollipops would stain our lips, tongues and teeth. It was fun scaring people with that. Of course, we were donning our Harry Potter clothing, and were very excited to be the first into the theatre. x] And, the movie really was incredible, just as I thought it would be. It was pretty true to the book, and it took almost everything I had not to cry when Dumbledore died X___X

Very Draco-centric, the movie was, though I wasn't complaining. He did have A LOT to do with the plot line in the book, so it would only make sense that he would pop up more in the movie, too. He looked so pale when he had to kill Dumbledore DX Tom Felton plays an excellent Draco Malfoy :) Bellatrix Lestrange was amazing x] I know she's evil, but she was so funny XD

The Twins! :] Hehe, their appearance made me very happy. And their joke shop is amazing. Wish it really existed. X___X I would go broke buying their stuff.

The actor for Slughorn, though, kind of disappointed me :/ I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning his acting skills, because they were exceptional, I just imagined Slughorn looking a bit different, as I did for Fudge when I first saw him...but ey, they did pretty good, so it wasn't too bothersome.

I now impatiently await the arrival of the 7th movie. Though, I saw this...I don't know, commercial, that was about J.K. Rowling, talking about "the last chapter" of the 7th book...This confused me, as I don't know if this means she's going to attempt to continue the series, and if so, how? I mean, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that Epilogue was...epic crap. It was extremely rushed, and left me feeling empty and full of questions. Actually, the 6th book confused me, too. I had thought Harry and Ginny were over one another, and then their feelings just returned out of nowhere...? J.K. had, apparently, planned to have Luna and Harry end up together in the end, but then scratched that and put Harry and Ginny together, instead... O_O;; I don't know, something about that pairing just bothers me...

[Aha, I must say, though, when Harry drank the "Felix Felicitus", I couldn't stop laughing. He was so ADHD x)]

Heh, but I do love the Ron and Hermione pairing. It was obvious they would get together, even from the earlier books, so that did please me that there were more hints of it in the movie, though when Hermione was upset it was sad. :(

7th movie...I think everyone's deaths is going to be very upsetting...may end up crying in the movie theatre X____X Ahh, I can't wait for the Harry Potter theme park to open in Universal! So very fun...~! :)

Rather sick of sheep-like people...

2009-07-13T00:20:23Z

...why must some people feel the need to blend in with the crowd instead of stand out on their own two feet...? And why must other people feel the need to put their noses where they don't belong...?

Guess I'm complaining, though, and I really don't like to complain, but a few things have been bugging me lately...For one thing, apparently, it's considered 'weird' if girls play video games... O_O;; Bah, I just got this memo, in that case, because I've been playing video games since my toddler days. Growing up in a family of boys and only my mother as the only other female in the house, I was bound to be introduced to video games some time or another. I remember clearly my Nintendo 64. My brothers and I would play the most gruesome games on that thing, including Rampage and Mortal Kombat. Then there was Dreamcast, which didn't gain very much popularity, but had a rather cool Sonic game that went along with it that I played incessantly...

Now, growing up in the 21st Century as a teenager, my interest jumps from Final Fantasy to Resident Evil to Harvest Moon, and yet, I still get the weirdest looks going into a video game shop. Shall I set up the scenario...?

I had entered the shop with a friend of mine, with the intention of buying a new video game, tiring of my old ones. There were hordes of guys in the store, and it was rather funny, really. They just looked at me, wondering, most probably, if I'd gotten lost or something. Similar to the looks that darkly clad people give brightly clad people when they walk into Hot Topic. So no, I'm not much into Halo or Gear of Wars. Never really was interested in war games.

As I get a bit older, I realize, I'm more in Simulation, RPG, and Fighting games. I remember, about a year ago and a half ago, I had just gotten a Naruto game when I was into the series (I'm wavering off of it and into less popular series'), I played that game pretty much non-stop until my wrists became so sore I cried. Now, they crack when I move them certain ways. And when I got my Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus game, I would start playing around 2 in the aft, take the occasional break now and again, and play until it was close to 2 in the morning. This was similar with Kingdom Hearts, as well, now that I think about it...

Now, I'm excited about the new Kingdom Hearts game coming out in the states in September. There's already pairings with this Xion character... O_O;; Organization 14 sounds kind of lame...as does the pairing AxelXionRoxas...Yes, I'm an AkuRoku fan, and yes, in my opinion, Xion just messed up the pairing... Yes, I will respect your opinion if you like Roxas and Namine together and despise AxelRoxas, but that doesn't mean I agree to it. And no, I'm not up for an argument about the pairings of Kingdom Hearts, because they have a tendency to turn ugly... I'm not an annoying crazed Akuroku fan that's: OMG LYK AKUROKU!!!111ONEONEone, because they scare me. I like the pairing. Period. I think it makes sense. :] As I think Riku and Sora together makes sense, which raises the question to some fans: But then who will Kairi be with...? Don't know. Someone that's not Sora or Riku x] I raise this question to you: Who would Riku be with if Sora and Kairi got together...? Fah. :) He'd be lonely and sad. Kairi's too perky to get too upset, therefore Sora and Riku together = <3 But I better stop talking about this before a crazed SoraKairi fan comes along to attempt to tear down my theory. Fah.

I'm upset, also, about the Final Fantasy VII Complete dvd coming out. Not because it's coming out, that got me excited. When I saw it was only for Blu-Ray, that kind of got me down in the dumps. See, I lack this thing called a 'blu-ray player.' Mind you, I have the Advent Children dvd, but this new one coming out has extra bonus features and extra scenes, and...I can't get it because of my lack of blu-ray... v_v That, and the parentals don't see the point of getting a blu-ray. They also point out my dvd player built into my tv... x3 It's very handy, don't get me wrong, I love it. I just sometimes wish we had one of those. Not really because of the enhanced graphics and sounds, just to watch some of my favorite movies that aren't out on dvd.

Ahh...didn't realize one of my favorite shows was on... x] Guess I'll stop ranting, then, and get back to work on my doujinshi while watching tv... Night, all.

Regarding Fanfiction.net.....

2009-06-13T18:05:12Z

For those of you who read my update on my profile about story requests, there are a few guidelines to go by....

Anime:
This is an absolute must, as I may have no clue as to the anime that you are describing, or the characters that you're talking about. I will need to do background research in order to keep the characters out of the dreaded OOC range. There's nothing more displeasing, in my opinion, than a character who acts completely the opposite out of how they would originally act...

Characters Used:
Whether or not you wish for the whole cast of characters, or only a select few, this is also a definite must for me to have in order to write your requested story the way you wish. If you have no preference on this, please be warned that this allows me to use whomever I wish. So, if you would like to specify, this may be best...

Pairings:
If you give me no pairings, then I assume you simply want a one-shot that only has one main character, or, one main character and side character 'strict friendships.' If this is what you want, this is needed to be specified, as well, or I may pair up people that you never wished to be together. Be warned, my imagination runs away any chance it gets to...

Rating:
Ahaha, everyone should be aware of the rating system. From fluffy sweet clouds that break your teeth from cuteness or such sexual activites end up with your keyboard and screen soaked in blood. I have been proclaimed the "Queen Of Fluff" from several of my friends, but I have also been known to write lemons for people, so I am capable of both categories, and even in-between, if you're not quite in the mood for fluff, or if you're a bit too sensitive for lemons.

Description (Plotline):
If you have a strict plot line you wish for me to follow, this is also necessary to be specified. Otherwise, I will simply write my own plotline. So, if you want flying unicorns or dragons breathing cotton candy, please tell me when sending me the message.

OC's:
And no, that doesn't stand for Orange County... x] If you have an original character, then obviously, you will need to describe them to the fullest of your ability to me, so I don't butcher them. A reference picture would be absolutely lovely, also, if you have one handy. Anything and everything about this OC is necessary, right down to their favorite things to do, who they're paired with, etc. For example...

Nothing really to say...

2009-06-08T16:43:02Z

So, I recently heard about this website from both ff.net and deviantart.com, so I decided to make an account ^_^ I'm...really not quite sure what to do on this site, so any help would be much appreciated ^_^ Will hopefully be posting the link to the cover of my doujinshi soon, as long as I can procure the exact location of my inking and prismas ^_^
