Pessimistically optimistic

Apologies for the snarky title.

The point is that most of this journal is f-locked. Anything that might have to do with my life, my opinions, my fandom squee is usually put under lock. It's really very extraneous stuff.

I usually unlock

a) fanfics
b) ... that's really about it.

I usually lock:

a) my opinions
b) my personal life
c) fandom squee

Which takes up about 96% of my journal.

I'm pretty much open to being friends with anyone, so don't be shy! You can either comment here or PM me (a note of warning: I'm not all that interesting, and I fic once in a blue moon. You might get bored of me, so no hard feelings if you decide to unfriend me).

If you have any other questions, or want to say hi, or troll me, you can comment here :).

I've got 99 problems, but studying ain't one of - oh, shit, it is.

Anyways, Happy Summer guys! Hope it's going well for you all, no matter how old you are or where you are etc.

... Apparently I managed to instill in my boyfriend a sense of political responsibility.

I think we can break up now and I won't feel so bad anymore.

Something more cheerful.

For those of you with a PS3, I recently saw this very beautiful game preview on Youtube.



You basically wake up in the middle of a desert with no idea but a mountain ahead of you. The goal is to get to the mountain in the horizon. Along the way you pick up red strips of some sort, gaining the ability to flyyyyyy, and talk with gods and shit to find out your history.

What's quite cool is that it has really unique multiplayer. Instead of knowing and being able to talk to the person, you'll encounter other players during the journey as anonymous people who may or may not help you. However, all communication hope is not lost! You can (sort of) communicate using your hums. Yeah.

I want this very badly >.< Deserts and indie graphics and hooded people. Also, gods and silent protagonists. I might ship everybody in the game already - yes, that includes hooded guy and god people (this is saying a lot, I can't ship anything in Game of Thrones, for instance).

Anyways, yeah, interesting game.

( boring boring uni stuff; only read if you're high on coffee and raeging about uni exams )

EDIT: you know what's great though about building on rudimentary blocks from high school? You get questions answered that you always had in high school. It's really, really great.

Yeah, sorry, my life is average. So average.

Gordon. Because he has a PhD in physics, knows how to do serious damage with a crowbar, and you never have to tell him to shut up.

Or, Firion. He also meets those requirements, except with ALL THE WEAPONS EVAR, and the fact that he isn't a PhD. Just a bubbly sprite in a world of bubbly sprite things (willfully ignoring Dissidia, because, well, who ever listens to crossover canon unless it's solely crossover canon universe?)

(omg I want that gift card naooooo)

for pimping archival purposes.

There are a bunch much more impressive than mine, including Kain deferring to the other side with horrendous results, LightningxKain bits, MINWU, and so much more. Go check it out if you have the chance *smiles*.

As for me, I... think I liked the result well enough to post it here.

One day, when I have the heart, I might go back in and edit them, herp.

( Fic! Omg I wrote fic! )


.... that last one wasn't a pairing, I know :/.

I also realise after the fact that, uh, I forgot Tidus. Shit. Haha. Ha. Ha. Ha. ;;;;

.... You're going to have to sell me your soul, your virginity, and a laptop, hon.

-Jack Sparrow is supposed to be bisexual. This is not exactly news to me, showing that my literary gaydar does in fact work on works other than those literary.

- Lalasa from one of Tamora Pierce's novels is supposed to be lesbian. (I didn't know about lesbians in 5th grade. Really.)

- From TV tropes: "In His Dark Materials, it's briefly mentioned that there is a small minority of people whose daemons are the same gender as themselves, but no explanation is given for it. When a fan asked Philip Pullman if it meant those people were gay, Pullman replied that he hadn't thought about it, but he liked that reasoning and now considers it canon."

-Hugh Laurie says he can see House getting it on with Cameron, Cuddy, and Wilson. Take that, hetero fans! *still grouchy over arguments in English class over House/Wilson vs. House/Cameron*

-Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are in fact supposed to have the Ho Yay. This I did know. I just would now like to shove that information down everybody's throat.

-According to TV tropes (again), Ozymandias "is the best example of asexuality." Huh, tylesti ? Could you, like, clarify that for me? Cuz I saw teh gheyz, not asexuality.

-Sherlock Holmes is asexual. Like I didn't see that one coming.

-In the manga of 'Ghost in the Shell', the Major is bisexual.

- <... Dear God I think I might ship it (Hint: click the damn link if you're so damn curious.)
