The Little Mermaid - Kiss The Girl |
] |
Today I received a comment on a drawing I had uploaded to deviantART! I was so excited! Someone had looked at my work? Someone had considered it worthy of beholding? Now, I don't draw for pageviews or anything, I draw because I want to. But who doesn't get that warm feeling when their otherwise ignored artwork is seen?
Then I looked at the comment.
"nice"
it read.
"Thanks. =)" I responded, but the smiley was superficial.
I've read articles concerning the problem. I always try to put thought into what I'm saying.
Unfortunately, nothing really shows you how discouraging it is until you get a comment that says "nice" or "cool" or "good" as the only word in the sentence. No punctuation. No smiley, certainly, although that would not help in the least.
Needless to say, I'm disappointed. I had hoped someone might say something a little more worthwhile.
It's depressing. I was happy until I received that.
The mood'll pass. But for all that is good and holy, if someone asks your opinion on something, don't just say "good" or "cool" or "nice," chances are if you take at least a moment of thought, you'll make their day.

John Legend - Someday |
] |
Since I was young, I have always been drawn to stories of unrequited love.
I bonded with Eponine when I was a kid, listening to "A Little Fall Of Rain" and, as odd as it sounds, adoring the anguish, the bittersweet farewell. And as I grew, all the stories flying around my head would not resolve, preferring to end up in a love triangle.
Celes and Locke were my first OTP.
Upon arriving at deviantART (where rule 34 is databased xD) I was awesomed out to find that there was lots of Celes and Locke fanart! However...The perfectionist in me screamed at most of them.
Celes and Locke, have, for me, always been another anguished couple. The end of the game does not resolve their relationship. As I recall, Celes ran to get the bandana (long story there,) and Locke asked her why she would risk her life for a stupid trinket (bear with me, I haven't played in a long time.) Celes threw herself off a cliff (I never saved Cid,) and found herself back on the beach near a pigeon with that same bandana on. The one that gave her hope that Locke was alive.
Locke was all emo over Rachel. He failed her, and that was why he promised to keep Celes safe. After he got the Phoenix, she told him to learn to love again or whatever. But that doesn't mean Celes and he are just going to start randomly make-out!
And yet, all the fanart throws them together so easily.
I can't do that.
This is why I fail at fanart.
I over think things.

This rant, I dub Twilight.
I've never read the book.
It's probably not that bad.
But I've got a bad feeling.
Browsing through the addictive Flair application on Facebook, one is bombarded with many variation of the same "flair," which is:
Edward Cullens is my fictional boyfriend.
And hey, that's fine! Whatever! But when you're taking the "I wish I could marry fictional characters" button for that reason....well.
I mean, hey! The books could be something other than the formulaic trash novels I've heard them to be. I may even read them, to find out.
But consider. My first "fictional boyfriend" was a man who I envisioned to look like Ingo from Zelda 64. A man who wore a coat down to his knees covered with pockets and who often went into tangents using complex words, which would have to be explained afterwards. A man with a mustache.
Then I read more complex literature, and I got more of these "fictional boyfriends."
They were always REAL. To me, anyways. And from what I've heard of this Edward Cullen? Sounds like someone is writing for 16 year old teens who don't have boyfriends.
And anyways, there are also these "ruin the Twilight movie and die" buttons. You know what I say? SUCK IT UP, BITCHES. Seriously. My fandom (you all know this) was, shall we say, raped.
It might be jealousy of a strong fanbase. It might be an elitism that has rubbed off on me after years of listening to intellectual snobbery.
Whatever it is, I have a very bad feeling about this.
The next Harry Potter, perhaps?
It doesn't bode well with me.

Beauty and The Beast OST - To The Fair |
] |
Disclaimer: I really love Disney! I do! Please, future employers, I don't mean this! I'm just exercising my wit!
Note: Exercise, not exorcise...
Now that that is done, I shall begin.
Many of us (us being me) have grown up watch the beloved classic Disney films, such as great hits like Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, The Fox and the Hound, that sort of stuff. But did you know, and I did my very own research on this, that Disney has been sneaking in subliminal mess-oh of course you did. But I felt like listing my very own observations, the less well known. Not the priests knees in The Little Mermaid or the naked lady in the window in...er....was it Rescuers Down Under? or the Great Mouse Detective? I dunno, one of those. No, I am speaking of things that require a much more broad and suspicious mind.
1. My first observation took place when I was 9. This was that Prince Charming was awful popular and hold on a sec didn't he already marry that other girl?! Yes, I know his hair might be a little different and his clothes may have changed, but is that really fooling anyone? Clearly, Cinderella's man was already married to Snow White.
However, at that time, I included Briar Rose in this, which is false. She married Prince Henry. Or was it Philip? I can't remember his name. I think it was Philip.
2. The second observation builds upon the first. Not only is Prince Charming a polygamist, but he is also marrying a girl who can't be more than 14! I am speaking, of course, of Snow White.
2b. This isn't the only occasion, of course. Now I am natural a fan of prince Eric (he rescued his dog,) but god only knows how old he is. However, she is 16. QED.
3. Robin Hood is a very nice movie, and at the beginning when they are illustrating the english tradition of dressing up as women (nah, actually, that's world-wide,) Robin clearly gropes Little John. I don't know if he's a nympho, gay, or just a perv, but either way it's corrupting!
4. I was appalled when, while listening to the soundtrack of my favorite princess movie, Beauty and the Beast, I discovered that that movie, too, was teaching our children a horrible lesson!
The line "Life is so unnerving/for a servant who is not serving/he is not whole without a soul to wait upon," from the song Be our Guest, clearly endorses slavery. It says that some people are less equal than others and so must serve the people who are "Better" than them.
More points will be added as I find them. But for now, step back and think: Do I want my children watching this!?!?!

I'm feeling a little pissy, which is dampening my overall good mood, so I figure I'll share some of these annoyances with you, my viewers.
1. The sims is loading. I'm trying to listen to music. The sims refuses to minimize, therefore I have to listen to both my music and the shitannoying sims intro music.
2. Itunes is a bitch when I try to put music on my shuffle. It freezes up every five seconds.
3. I have a shuffle.
4. All the pretty songs induce a feeling of fleeting happiness before I realize my life is really boring.
5. And yet I'm going to be out all weekend...doing stuff.
6. What the hell firefox just randomly died just now!!!
7. I can't wait for christmas, but I always feel really selfish during this time of year.
8. I think firefox is going to die on me soon again.
9. It keeps stalling.
10. My siblings are so boring. They never do anything.
11. I feel the emosity demons clutching at me.

Beauty and The Beast OST - Transformation |

I would like to clear something up.
It's really stupid, and it annoys the HELL out of me.
I don't care how conscious you think you look when you talk about how you like brown m&ms better than the other colors because they "don't have as much dye," you look like a dumbass!!
Because, you see, it's not freaking true. I don't know how much dye is in the various colors, but I can tell you this particular assumption is wrong.
You see, the shell of an m&m is not made of chocolate. It is not brown. It's more like a tan color. You can find this particular gem out by sucking on one and extracting it from your mouth.
Therefore, saying that there is less dye because chocolate is brown is a stupid and baseless assumption.
Understand now?
No?
Let me put it this way. Stop trying to look smart by quoting the Wedding Planner. Anyone who has properly or even improperly tested this theory can debunk it. Because it's a line from a chick flick.

So, I know I've PROBABLY posted this before, but really, it deserves to be ranted at multiple times.
Please forgive me, o anime fans, but you bastardized my fandom!
If you haven't figured, I'm talking about Howl's Moving Castle. That....lovely anime by whatshisname.
Anyways, how this started was I had watched the last 45 minutes of the movie sometime during the week, while surfing channels. I repeatedly pointed out to my sister what they were doing wrong, and what was missing.
Then today, I went looking for an icon, and I was getting increasingly more angry that i could not find a single icon that had anything to do with the BOOK.
It is my belief that that book is pure genius. It's such a great story! I love it! It's my favorite!
And they just....bastardized it.
Normally, if you know me, you know that I'm not the type of person who nitpicks movies and points out what's wrong with them...But I feel justified. I've seen other books turn into movies, and none of them were so SKEWED.
Let's face it. How is Michael ever going to get with Martha if Martha doesn't exist and Michael is like 8 instead of 17 (I think.)?
How is Lettie going to get with Suliman if Suliman doesn't exist? Rather, Sulliman's golem is actually Prince Justin. "A prince from the neighboring country." THEY LIVE IN INGARY DAMMIT.
And while I did think that the black door leading to Howl's memories was an interesting take on things, Sophie TIME TRAVELLING AND TELLING HOWL TO FIND HER WAS RIDICULOUS.
Markl. Need I say more?
And the movie castle fell apart! My heart went died.
Mrs. Penstemmon is the big baddie? Excuse me?! She was the old lady who taught Howl what he knew! Howl had her try to help Sophie! AND SHE WAS MURDERED BY THE WITCH OF THE WASTE.
Speaking of whom. What the frak happened there? The With was suddenly....I honestly don't know! She was supposed to be beautiful! But you just knew that she was actually an incredibly old lady. And instead they make her a revolting creature that Sophie takes under her wing?
Well, I guess if you get rid of Wales you have to get rid of Miss Angorian. And Howl's family, but that's another rant. If you get rid of Miss Angorian, you have to get the witch herself in there to try and take Howl's heart.
And I also thought they were very vague about Sophie herself.
And by the way, Howl jilted the Witch not because of her "true appearance" but because that was what he did. I myself am a bit vague on this, but how I understood it, he went through his usual routine. And because Calcifer had his heart, Howl couldn't love her. Although, that does beg the question as to how the witch fell in love with him, or for that matter, whether she did at all.
Also, while I do like Emily Mortimer, I don't think she was quite the person to play the role. Sophie always struck me as a much more spiteful person. Although ,I suppose she did a good job.
Heh, I'm reading the wikipedia cause I can't remember the details of the plot...I gather miss angorian and mrs. Penstemmon became the same person....which is severely messed up.
THEY JUST MADE A MESS OF MY FAVORITE BOOK!
And while it's been about 3 years or something since it was released, I still feel throughly cheated.
And because I'm so angry, I will leave this post public, so all may feel my anger.
Heh.
