Thought I made it clear now--

I AM STILL HERE!

Just been stuck in Emet-Selch land--

I am completely serious-- the last time I thoroughly consumed a character, it was Citan Uzuki from Xenogears. This is scary and yet-- strangely fun all the same.

To be sworn, if I have any further fun at the Ascian buffet-- I may start puking my eyes out.

There is going to be a lot more Princess icons-- as I've been rereading the series, I've put many pictures in my to-be-edited folder. That is why I haven't really made icons for the past couple of days-- both catching up with TV and re-reading the series. I even added some old favorites to my icon rotation a long with applicable lyrics. I want to write fic, I want to create a fanmix for the series. I WANT TO BE THE PRINCESS FAN THAT THE WORLD NEEDS! (since there is probably only like 3 of us that exists in this world!

Everyone have a Leo icon!

Also gee, I hope my manga colouring skills haven't grown rusty! -_-

If a single picture can define the entire Princess series...

( This is it... )

So reading "Let's Plays" of Fire Emblem has seriously affected how I react to how a character levels in "Fire Emblem Warriors". Like when Chrom leveled and didn't gain an inch of strength, Lucina levels and gets that stat- and I am like, "Chrom, what is wrong with you? You're being showed up by your daughter from the future!". As if Chrom could talk back to me, hahahaha! But seriously it is a fun game, and while I'm not a fan of the overall style of Fire Emblem, I am a fan of the "Warriors" franchise, I find it fun in a hack and slash sort of way-- (also, seriously Chrom is the best dad, I would LOVE Chrom as a dad, he is proably in to BBQ's and profuse dad jokes.. at least that is how I imagine him.)

This weekend, my goal is to add a RP thread to my RP comm, musehalla, and I will invite anyone to drop in and play with any of the characters listed on the user info. For now I am going to shy away from Bakerstreet as I really sort of want to find my RP voice again, and I don't want to be overwhelmed; start out slow and steady. Also, if you know a series that I am into, feel free to ask what character I would play from that series-- perhaps we can get a PSL going or something if we find mutual ground. (only series out of bounds is Xenogears/saga-- Citan Uzuki/Hyuga and co is permanently retired-- just do not have the energy to invest in that series when it comes to RP, I just can't do it)

On the icon plate, there is a new challenge and I've picked the 80s for that challenge, it's a sweeping generalization but I don't like to pigeonhole myself into a set series, I like to be able to have variety on what to icon, and I feel that the nostalgia will do me good! Also, new texture set up at hiraethe, it's a departure from the usual grunge and there are a lot of textures that I am excited to use myself! When I make textures, my process is "would I use these?", and I've already used several of them on icons, they are really lovely and I definitely will be planning another set along those lines. But bright grunge is my usual style and goes so well with my anime/manga stylized trappings. (just call me shoujotrash, it's all good.) So far though the new style has gone over real well and it's really just taking stock photos and bluring them, overlaying or super zooming them, as well as adding colour effects when at all possible.

So now I have a new icon challenge to focus on-- this one will be involving the 80s~

As usually, I don't post icons over at this journal-- however if you are interested, my icon community is over at hiraethe where I post all of my responses to challenges and all that-- I've been trying to once again draw away from 'shoujo hell', but it's the colours and the sparklies, can't help it~!

Hope y'all are having a good start to the weekend!

note: Walmart is selling 'soylent' now. I did a double take and was like "WTF!" Oh boy! People now come in 'strawberry' flavor!

There's the problem
Then there is the admitting you have the problem
After that comes the acceptance as you plan to change your journal colours to reflect Po.
Haven't quite gotten to the point where I change my name to 'blackholepo' tho, so there's still hope-- I suppose
