A couple of shortfics I wrote at the request of people from Plurk. ~~Quality may include intentionally bad fiction.~~ oops guess i didn't write badfic after all

So I've recently gotten back into writing fanfiction after a hugeass stint of not doing it (RP involvement and fanfiction writing seem to be somewhat inversely related) and it feels pretty good to actually be writing a multi-chaptered thing in a format that I may actually be able to complete.

( Here's some analysis of my writing over the years, based on what I saw when I went back over my old stories in my fanfiction.net account. )

I don't know if I'd say my writing has improved over the last 2 years (though it definitely has compared to the things I was writing 8 years ago), but I do know it's different, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

FUNNILY ENOUGH, it's like I've come back full circle; the early multi-chapter intended stories I wrote were written for the same purpose as my Xenoblade story, which was to depict events. It's good to see that I can do the same thing much, much, better now.

SCREAMING WHY DID I NOT FURTHER MY JAPANESE.

If 0:20 to 0:37 do not sell you on Digital Devil Saga, I cannot do much more to help. I'm not sure if they do PAL in general, but at the very least, if you live in Australia or New Zealand, you can get it from Ozgameshop for $14, free delivery. That's like, the same price as a meal from Nando's.

( Let me tell you about all the joygasms Digital Devil Saga gave me in the first 4 hours of play )

( Let's talk about P4A )

( Let's talk about RPing (specifically, Onion Knight) )

And my experiences of it as I was growing up. Hopefully this won't take long; I have so much to do!

( Snip )

p.s. if you don't already know, I now maintain an Ask Joshua tumblr. So go and ask him things.

I was in a pretty bad mental state last week, but it's pretty much been better. LJ outages means I can't actually remember what I wanted to post about so instead you get pictures I sketched at some point during the week.

( All Onion Knight! )

I also did some TWEWY theorising on Plurk. Attempted to anyway. Linking them here for reference. Definitely a lot more incoherent than what I write here.

Just got caught up with Homestuck after many hours of reading/watching/listening to it. I AM FREE.

Homestuck's one of those things that I think is incredibly cool, but I guess you could say I don't really cognitively understand it. Thus, I can't really say much about it except make inane statements about how cool it is.

( Thoughts on RP, but not about actually playing in a game. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I'm even covering new ground; I feel like I've already talked about this content before. Anyway, me being mopey about not playing Joshua and blather about the slightly different nature of 'canonmates' for Onion Knight. )

OKAY I am not allowed to tweak my Onion Knight app any more. NO MORE. I kind of think it's more scattered than I'd like but whatever, I AM DONE. Except not really; I'll probably tweak the sample a bit more hrhfgh.

I am having a small brain fart though. DISSIDIA PEOPLE I NEED YOUR ETERNAL WISDOM because if I start playing Dissidia to check this I will not study. Do ~~the Warriors of Cosmos~~ Team Cosmos ever find out about the existence of the cycles in the 13th cycle? I don't actually remember if they do or do not.

( relatively short babble comparing Onion Knight brattishness vs Joshua dickishness. I don't think I ever did so much character analysis for Joshua in such quick succession when I first started RPing him. )

Quick, someone beat me in the face before my ego inflates any further!! /can handle criticism fine but praise makes a Ten explode??

Also, linked from

radio_aspen, possibly one of the coolest things I've seen recently.

I seem to be all creatived out, so I guess I'll take a break from writing and drawing for a while and work on things like presentations and exams 8( I did play some more FF7 after my piano exam (was alright, could've gone better but wasn't TOO bad. The piano keys were really stiff though sob) and I can't believe how little cash I'm running around with. I blame all the Fort Condor visits, but seriously I resorted to selling my Ethers for money! I don't remember ever having money troubles in a Final Fantasy game before! In fact, I was so short on cash I couldn't play any of the Wonder Square games (except Mog House) in the Gold Saucer after paying for single ticket. THAT WAS SO TRAGIC. TRAGIC I tell you! ; A;

I. I DON'T THINK I CAN GET OVER HOW FUNNY THIS GAME IS ASFGHJKJ;K even some of the instruction menus have character and humour.

I also swapped my Steal Materia from Red to Aeris and... I'm pretty sure steal is supposed to be based off dex (which I'm sure Red has more of than Aeris) yet Aeris is doing a much better job at it. I wonder if it's because she's actually got thumbs, or if it's because of her sneaky personality...

( EDIT: Some short blah blah blah about TWEWY. Neku is an interaction whore )

Hnghhhh I'm actually a little bit disappointed/mad at my ESD unit because this is an easy unit but somehow our group keeps on scoring really low by my standards (significantly below average?? what is this crap??) for it and the assessments for it in general make me want to facewall. I'm sure I can make up the marks through the exam but I generally don't test well so I'm not really looking forward studying for a unit that's incomprehensible due to the way it's taught, rather than the content. I'd really like to find out my marks for my 2nd Law assignment, if only to feel like less of a failboat, since I'm sure if I don't get 100% for it, I'll at least get a good mark for it.

ANYWAY. ENOUGH OF MY EDUCATIONAL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGST.

My last post has reminded me that maybe I should be doing some character study before I get too deep into my Digimon/TWEWY crossover, especially since I don't know the Digimon characters nearly as well as I know the TWEWY characters. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't do some TWEWY character analysis either, since the story's set in 1999 rather than ~2007. Theeese are by no means final since I'm prone to changing my mind a lot.

( I'm starting with a brief look at the relevant TWEWY cast mostly because I like to start with easy things ;c )

( PART of the Digimon cast because there is no way I'm doing 7 characters and their Digimon in one sitting )

OH MY GOD OKAY THAT'S WAY TOO MANY WORDS FOR ONE POST TIME TO STOP.

Shooter: Yeah, bro! It’s like your fiery passion slams into the other guy’s, like WHAM!
Joshua: Hee hee. Sounds like a fun time.

( Some snips of the TWEWY Game Script as I work on updating it. In which Joshua is more perverted than I ever hope to be + stupid + poignancy + some commentary. And me getting lazy halfway )

( A little theorising about the conversations between Joshua, Neku and Sho )

... I've also apparently lost a bunch of other scripts (like, all the Knights in the Nightmare work I did) when I did a tag clean up. Google has FAILED me.

I AM NEVER COLOURING TWO TONE MATERIALS IN A STYLE THAT DOESN'T HAVE ALL SHADE ON A MULTIPLY LAYER. /KILLS EVERYTHING.

That said, the Joshua as Onion Knight picture is slowly plodding along for the first time in a while. I tried out some old things in combination (second layer of hatched inks, non-multiplied painted soft shadows, multiplied hard shadows), where I usually use one of these on a picture, and I think it's looking pretty good... except when I did the inks, I kind of forgot to give myself a light source so some of the hatching is a bit weird, which made my shades look a bit weird... and on top of that, I switched from watercolours to a plain old brush in SAI, so the shading style is a little bit inconsistent. I don't think it's too noticeable, but. Well. I guess you'll have to wait and see.

( Not going to show a full WIP, because it's so close to being done it seems kind of pointless. )

( A quick one-shot snippet + some blah blah blah. )

( Re-reading TWEWY Secret Reports. Results: Ten has forgotten a lot of canon. )

Now that all my assessments (not counting the project) for the semester are done, I can focus more on my upcoming piano exam and project work. Woo, I guess?

I THINK I DID A LITTLE MORE TWEWY THEORISING THAN I INTENDED TO from a conversation about Beat WHOOPS. Maybe I'll go into a TWEWY brain dump later (haven't done one of those in a while) when I'm not all brain dumped out. If I knew every person who has done incredible amounts of theorising on a different TWEWY character, I would keep them all in a cage to splurt out information as I need it.

I'll summarise the conversation (at least, the parts that aren't involved in one of the one-shots I'm working on).

( Cliffnotes version of TWEWY theorising )

NO ONION KNIGHT JOSHUA UPDATE oh my god why do I do this to myself :CCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

I think, after reorganising my LJ tags, the next step will be to actually put some effort into redoing my current icons.

But that would just be procrastinating. (Not that I haven't already been doing that all week.)

( Update on the Joshua as Onion Knight picture. )

( Some midnight blah blah about art/writing evolution )

Finally finished that Dead Neku picture where being held on the lap by creepy guys while your underwear is showing is totally awesome.

I also finished the Joshua!Onion Knight sketch, but even after some more tweaking, I'm honestly at the point where I can't tell whether the anatomy is right or not. Wait, crap, no, I know what's wrong now.

( OH WELL. SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT IT. And others. )

It almost makes me want to start drawing Joshua in Kuja's thong (how do these things happen??), but I think I've been traumatised by too many Dissidia!Kuja upskirt shots to even consider it. But he looks like so much fun to play...

Starting to consider turning this into an art blog, though I know that the moment I do, I'll probably stop doing so much art. I do like updating with WIPs on stuff I'm working on here, though.

And now, snippets of writing!

Speaking of writing, though, it kind of feels like my writing is extremely unrefined when I first put words down. Maybe it's the same for other people, I dunno. But most of the expression comes out in the third or so edit, which is a little frustrating; it feels like it takes a long time (too long) for me to churn out anything halfway decent OTL. At the very least, I've stopped staring at a blank page for minutes-hours when I sit down to write, thanks to Write or Die, so I guess I've gotten a bit faster at the very least.

Last LJ post in a while, I swear! I also just realised Photobucket's been resizing my images again 8| (or... not. Weird. It seems to display fine when they're shoved in an LJ post, but not directly linked) I've been flipping through official art for some references and it occurs to me that even though Joshua is the one that gets called wimpy, Neku actually seems to have less muscle than Joshua. In both official artwork and in sprites.

( Anyway you wanted to see more dead Neku right )

PROBABLY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SCENES IN THE GAME. EVER.

EDIT: So, I managed to get my hands on a (fanmade, I believe) remastered edition of FF7's OST, which has been giving me some mixed feelings. It's very nice to have updated instruments and such, because there are certain limits in sound that comes from old games that make it very obvious they're old. The sound is certainly a lot cleaner and with a bigger... hmm what's the word. Range, I suppose? But the issue I'm having with the remastering is that sometimes the balance that I hear with the original music is thrown out. For example, the random battle theme doesn't have as much OOMPH as the original one has, from what I can tell. So now I'm kind of flip-flopping about this remastered OST, though I'll probably end up keeping it.

I also managed to get my hands on some scans for some of the various FF7 artbooks. I haven't looked through the original one yet, but I like how the FFAC has stuff like:

"In terms of design I was picturing a skull-headed dog, but the head turned out more like a rodent. As for their hidden powers... um... OK, how's this? Even if their head gets knocked off or they lose a leg, they just keep running! They keep running until they get you. Sure, no living thing could do that, but I figured, 'what the heck?' I know, I'm irresponsible."

"Cloud and the gang certainly aren't using mako anymore [...] I guess the airship must be running on some mysterious ancient power source."

RULE OF COOL IN FULL EFFECT RIGHT HERE. Also, "At some point close to the release date, a giant poster featuring Cloud and Sephiroth was unfurled on the cylinder-shaped Shibuya 109 building, giving the movie immense exposure." I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS.

( Update on the Dead Neku picture-- I MEAN the Pieta picture )

Update from the last post.

( This image wasn't meant to get as big as this?? And that trying out new colouring style? Probably isn't going to happen now. Maybe. I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE. )

First off, I would like to say that this gif makes me laugh way more than it should.

Secondly, I drew a picture based off Michelangelo's Pietà. Thinking of trying out colouring after I clean it up. Unfortunately, one of my tags lies; in this picture, Joshua is not Jesus.

( I'm not sure if there's any way to NOT make this look dodgy when Joshua's involved )
