♉ HOMESTUCK ♉

Note: 
Turtleluv, PLEASE IGNORE THIS POST.

No excuses this time, but I might as well start writing about this new to you (but fairly old to me) addiction while I have the free time and more particularly, the motivativation.


For those who are good at psychoanalysis: yes, I am in a pretty bad mood right now and that is the reason why I need to post something up on this blog and keep to my thoughts for a while. C'est la vie- such is life.


=====================================================


Yes, it is Homestuck An interactive webcomic that was brought to life in 2009 by the genius Andrew Hussie, and has recently been the object of my days and the focus of my life ever since I discovered this diamond in the rough.


Homestuck is centered around a game played by 4 kids known as Sburb-- a game that manipul8s not only game functions and player surroundings, but also reality. The object of the game is influenced by preset anomalies and varies from session to session. As such, most of the beginning acts (1-4) are centered around the 4 friends and how they cope with the extinction of humanity (as a cause of their playing Sburb), the loss and recovering of diseased love ones, the discovery of alien worlds as presented in each kid's respective Medium, and the constant contact with otherworldy beings known as trolls (both figuratively and literally). As the kids continue to play the game, they learn more and more about their universe and these trolls who employ superior knowledge about the game. The kids' session is complicated by parallel timelines and paradoxes.


Although at first, the webcomic seems slow, childish and idiotic, it is in fact quite an exhilarating read. In my opinion, the comic is geared towards the older audiences for it DOES contain a lot of profanity and death-- totally inappropriate for children. But as per usual, that is just an opinion: you are entitled to your own. 


Lastly, here are some words of wisdom for those who are set to read this amazing comic: BE READY TO GET ADDICTED.


So please, I implore you, especially if you haven't already, please read Homestuck. You will not be disappointed.

BJD Archives - A Horror Story

So hey guys! I know I've been inactive lately and I won't waste time explaining about it this time, since it's gonna be the same excuse/reason!

--------------------------------------------------

Well anyways, something really awful happened the other day, and I thought I should share this story. This godawful horror story.

--------------------------------------------------

It was Easter Sunday, and as a lot of Sundays transpire, it was yet again another lazy day outside - lazy as in quiet, without a single person in sight. Earlier that day, everyone went to a party at a different venue and everyone has just arrived home. Whenever we have parties around my neighborhood, it tends to be a huge thing with lots of food, games, and preparation so a lot of people that day went home and relaxed instead of going outside post-party.

Seeing this as an opportunity to hang out with a friend, I decided it would be nice to bring Frei out with me and talk to my friend over a nice little picnic. Since I participated in the games at our Easter party, I wore rubber shoes with socks. But when I went out for the mini picnic, I changed into slippers (the kind you are likely to wear to the beach). Me being stupid, I didn't take my socks off when I donned my slippers.

As I went down the stairs (I live in a 2nd floor apartment) carrying Frei with me, I slipped down 5 steps while Frei's head is ripped from her body and tumbles all the way down the bottom of the staircase! She fell down about 9 stairs!!! :O luckily though, the stairs were covered with padded carpet, and somewhat cushioned Frei's horror dive into inevitability.

I was so scared! I imagined that Frei's head would be scratched and chipped in all the worst places and that I would have to live with this regret all my life. I then took my socks and slippers off and ran down barefoot to see what damage was done. I was so surprised that, aside from a scratch on her face up, Frei was relatively damage-free! That was when I marveled at how sturdy these little guys are, and the quality of Fairyland's resin!

In the end, I still brought Frei out after feeling guilty about my little mishap. I haven't touched/moved Frei since I put her back into her makeshift cabinet-room >.<

So yeah, moral of the story: never go down the stairs with socks, slippers, and an expensive doll XD

BJD Archives - Dollie Wishes

So I guess that since I have some free time, I'll go ahead and post a little sumthing for you guys :)
Well there're some things I kinda owe you guys and first and foremost is the answer to my dollie hints!!

Well there's no more waiting! Here's the formal blog post I've promised :D
My next doll (although still subject to change) will be....

MNF KYLE
Fairyland



But I haz a problem :(
I'm already half way in my money chart to having enough money to buy him and my dad previously offered to shoulder the other half. I was getting all excited to purchasing him next month. However, because of recent unforeseen circumstances, he isn't able to uphold his offer, and I probably won't be able to save enough money until next year (when, I fear, the prices will go up again).

Although I feel a bit bummed with the whole thing, I can't help but be relieved that I will have more time to decide if this is the right doll for me, because honestly, I've put the hobby to an on/off hiatus because of school. In the mean time, I've conjured an agenda: pamper Frei. You heard right, it's about time I invest in Frei a little, I've neglected her so! D:

So that is that. I might edit this post in the future, but until then, this is what I've decided.
