Arg so much agony. My fingers hurt, my upper right arm is burning and my shoulder blade feels stiff. I think my lower arms are having a delayed reaction in soreness; it feels like they're going to hurt tomorrow. Never playing that much piano again.

...Except I'm probably going to have to; my exam is in one week and I am not prepared.

/brb practising until I die.


( DMW 44, 45 spoilers )

Except this screencap doesn't actually contain that.

( what did i just spend my night drawing )

So. Thanks to zergling, I have now started a Pokémon Pearl Nuzlocke game. If you're not familiar with the challenge, original/basic rules are:

1) Once a Pokémon faints, you have to release it.
2) You can only catch the first Pokémon on a Route/Cave/whatever. So if you faint that Pokémon without catching it, you can't catch another Pokémon on that Route.

In Pearl, there's a short sequence in the first Route you pass through on the way to Sandgem town where you can't catch Pokémon, so I allowed 2) not to come into effect until I got some Pokéballs. Every Pokémon I encountered was a Starly. I thought it'd be pretty funny if the first Pokémon I encountered once I got me some balls was a Bidoof.

Guess what my first Pokémon was?

I thought, oh. Well. I guess I could backtrack to the lake to get a Starly.

"A WILD BIDOOF APPEARED!"

... I thought, well, maybe I can catch a wild Shinx on the way out of Sandgem town...

"A WILD BIDOOF APPEARED!"

ಠ_ಠ

It's kind of sad that the only way I can make myself study for Maths is to build a magic system based on it.

NSFW BTW. I'm going to hell and it's Levi and KB's fault. NSFW BTW..

Fun facts:
ಥ﹏ಥ This was physically painful for me to write. My face started hurting from trying not to laugh/cry at this.
ಥ﹏ಥ Every time I wrote anything more than PG13+, I had to break my teeth* before I would type it.
ಥ﹏ಥ I had to periodically slap my face every 5-10 minutes or I wouldn't be able to continue.
ಥ﹏ಥ I would periodically say "I'm going to hell. I'm going to hell. I'm going to hell." to whoever I was chatting with at the time. tasogareika laughed every time.
ಥ﹏ಥ I CANNOT EDIT THIS AT ALL BECAUSE IT IS SO HORRIFYING THAT THE EDITING PART OF MY BRAIN SHUTS DOWN AND DIES

* Actual breaking of teeth may or may not have occured


I WASTED A PERFECTLY GOOD DAY TO STUDY FOR THIS.

for now.

Debating if I should colour all my other icons that I don't use since lol 15 icon limit :|a Now I can, like, hit all the tags waiting for me ffffffghhh



IN OTHER NEWS I am back in RO and I CAN'T TELL IF I SHOULD BE REGRETTING THIS.

Anyone here played Ikaruga? It looks and sounds utterly fascinating (based on screenshots and art, because lol internet + Youtube) and seems more my thing than Touhou (I love me sum fighterplanes).

( Ten's thoughts on the games she's playing, now with more haikus! Represented are: Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, PMD2:Explorers of Sky, Pikmin 2, TotA, ToV, BRAAAWL, Ico. Yes, I'm currently playing 8 games. )


( Lol RP babble. tl;dr Ten is a lazy bum and has also realised what was bugging her so much while trying to play Toto )

Ugh. A few days ago I was going to say something along the lines of YAY I AM GETTING BACK INTO RPING but just as quickly, I got distracted by MOTHER things and games. I've had way too many thoughts I wanted to write down, but the effort in doing so resulted in me not doing so. I can summarize my feelings of this week in :points.

The Awesome
+ Finished Kirby: Squeak Squad.
+ Marathoned all three big MOTHER radioplays (Fobbies are Borange, Loids are not Christmas, Tree of my Youth).
+ Felt like I want to be a part of the conglomerate of MOTHER fandom known as starmen.net.
+ Have many art ideas.
+ Started Shadow of the Colossus. Found it incredibly gripping. While my heart isn't quite into it yet (I'm only like 2 hours into the game), my body definitely feels the fear when Wander's hanging off the head of a colossus that's trying to shake him off. Also, the sheer size of them is terrifying, especially once they start attacking you as well. The game really does give you a great sense of something big, even while I'm playing on my small TV.
+ Got my hands on 358/2 Days after a lot of problems. Cannot stop playing 358/2 Days.
+ Went through the entirety of the Earthbound section in the Pit. Found some interesting stories.
+ Bought Brawl for $50 instead of the $80 offered at stores near me.
+ Started going through the SSB section of the Pit. Found a few cute things that reinforces the reasons why I find SSB interesting conceptually outside the arena. Also, Master Hand is always awesome, even when the rest of the fic is rather average.

The Not-So-Awesome
- Cannot join starmen.net because home internet does not allow me so. May not actually be a bad thing.
- Could not find energy to even sketch my art ideas.
- Cannot stop playing 358/2 Days.
- None of the MOTHER fic in the Pit really made me go "YES THIS IS AMAZING AND I WILL SPEND THE NEXT HOUR OF MY LIFE RE-READING THIS FOREVER" (although I was expecting this, sigh). A few things that were interesting conceptually but exectution didn't sit well with me. Also, Ness/Jeff mpreg.
- Still do not have a Wii.
- So much of the SSB fic is not relevant to my interests. The ones that were kind of made me :| after a few chapters (or a few paragraphs, in some cases). Also, surprisingly difficult to find 'day in the life' fic for SSB that doesn't just focus on a few characters.
- Still procrastinating on RP things. Interest levels are REALLY HIGH right now, especially with the Firetruck and Way events that are very relevant to my characters' interests. But it just happens that my interest levels in vidya games are at an all time high as well. Still feel bad that RP is the thing at the bottom of my hobby barrel.
- Did not get any uni work done. Doom meter is increasing at an exponential rate, but cannot motivate myself to reduce it. Why am I so stupid.

OKAY. I AM. SO DONE WITH MY DEADMAN WONDERLAND RAMPAGE. I'VE ALREADY EXHAUSTED THE LITTLE FANDOM THERE IS AND I'M NOT GOING TO MAGICALLY LEARN HOW TO READ KANJI. I AM OUT OF IDEAS (for now) SO THE RAMPAGE ENDS HERE.

BRB CATCHING UP ON LIFE. No I haven't forgotten the 5 things meme. I'll eventually get to writing the rest out



...EDIT: NO I LIED. I AM TRAWLING THE INTERNET FOR EVERY PIECE OF MOCKINGBIRD INFORMATION I CAN GET.

( lol mockingbird so silly )
