For the most part, I was pretty fking pleased with Detective Pikachu, and Pikachu was just so adorable-- like oh my gosh, how is such cuteness even possible? (yes, I will have an icon of pikachu, I promise)-- and now the next movie to see is Aladdin. Like, I have really mixed feelings about the reboot, I mean I loved the original but when it comes down to it, I'm way more looking forward to Lion King coming out soon-- I will go to Aladdin on principle (it's disney, how can I not?) BUT I guess I will see when I see, I just think it is important to keep a potentially open mind, I may after all enjoy it, just the trailer left me kinda 'meh'-- I didn't say "I AM TOTALLY GOING TO SEE THAT", more like "well I guess I will go see it because it's Disney"

I certainly didn't tear up like I did when I saw the preview for the Lion King.

Can we talk about the "What is Snow"? episode from the new Fruits Baskets episode? Like, I warned my husband that I would cry-- but I didn't quite know how much until yesterday when the water works just started to flow, gosh darn it-- I love Hatori, can't wait to see his story get closure in this new Fruits Basket retelling.

Occasionally my brain will attach to my Chrono Trigger retelling-- the premise is of course Queen Zeal fucking with time, and there are characters that naturally occur-- like Queen Zeal doing everything to make things difficult for her children. It's a cross over in a way as it involves characters from other series that I've managed to intertwine-- but it also involves original characters-- and it involves a highly involved, not very close to reality Magus Zeal (understand this, and quite honestly don't care)-- well okay, well I still consider him in character still as long as he maintains certain key elements like his standoffishness-- but he does have a few close friends that get sucked in to the same temporal vortex as him, because I like to add an aspect of humanity to him). A character that pops up is Cid from FFXIV, because I've taken to pairing him with Schala Zeal-- like, I know that it's totally random BUT IN MY HEAD IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE and that's all that matters right? (besides visually, Cid and Schala would make a very visually stunning couple-- and I'm all about those aesthetics)

And in the past month, two more characters entered the vortex and made it convincing me how they fit into the entire spanning storyline-- like, I guess I used to have a muse town with another person, but I suppose in the interim, this is my way of making my own muse town, of relying on myself.

Alright time to do some grinding in FFXIV now! <3 Hope y'all have a lovely weekend!

This week's challenge over at [community profile] lands_of_magic is comm recs. I am a social creature and I love communities, I think that there is a plethora of really great communities out there. I love to icon, it's one of my favorite things in the whole world and I eternally strive to get better and better at it. There are a few people who are motherfking inspirations to me in the icon realm, and I'm gonna drop it right here because sharing the love ROCKS!

[community profile] inconformista : this is my twinsie - [personal profile] carisma_sensei's icon journal and it is super amazing! She mainly does layouts, but the icons that she does are totally rad! (we really should bring back the word 'rad', because it's well, RAD.). She is behind such icons as the animated 'teletubbies' icons that I love so much and you'd have to tear out of my cold stiff hands. Go check her out, because well I have nothing but absolute awe and respect for her work!
[community profile] icontalking : this is a great comm for people who are wanting to improve their work. They hold challenges that you don't really vote on but are meant to sort of exercise your skills, there are many techniques I've learned that I've gotten over there.
[community profile] nexticon : It is a one-icon pass it on challenge. There is voting, but the purpose is that you icon something that is inspired by the last icon that was posted-- and it doesn't even have to be specific, a blue background reminds you of a character from a series? go for it-- creativity after all only has the bare minimum guardrails
[community profile] smallbatchicons : this is a place you can get all your small batch icons! It's also ideal for people who me who don't really do the 40+ icons, because I can post whatever paltry ammount of icons I just cranked out and leave it at that, and also as I said-- many talented iconists post there regularly!
[community profile] beautifulmechanical : this is not an icon community, this is a music community. It is all about sharing whatever music it is that you are feeling at the time and it's a great place to discover music that you may not have known about. Last month they did a 90s theme where everyone posted there favorite 90s jams. Please join this community, your ears will love it!
[community profile] gospelle : another talented iconist, [personal profile] rinoa_heartilly posts her work here, also worth a look up-- her style is very pristine and ethereal and shee does a lot of Final Fantasy based icons!
[community profile] hiraethe - My icon community, don't really have anything to add about it except come check it out and LAUGH because I overuse the red blobs on ALL my icons!

Happy comm discovery, everyone! <3

What is she awesome for, you may ask?

She has completed the SQUARE OF POWER! How did she do this, you may ask?



this really should be self explanatory-- gonna pimp [community profile] inconformista just because--

And yes, in the icon page-- all of the lyrics for the icons are pretty much 'getting drunk at the bar"-- I am especially fond of the Kesha song I used for Tinky Winky, because let's face it-- whiskey in the handbag.

I have the bestest DW sister ever!

So for my Po icon, it was "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden, for this Dipsy icon, it's "Hot in Here" by Nelly.

I AM BUILDING A KINGDOM OF WRONG-- FIGHT ME

Just saying that [personal profile] carisma_sensei made this AWESOME icon for me-- I WILL NEVER EVER GET RID OF THIS ICON NO MATTER HOW LONG I LIVE-- SERIOUSLY BEST ICON EVER! *WILL BE PRIED FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS YES*

SERIOUSLY SO EPIC I AM CRYING HALP PLZ

Check out her work at [community profile] inconformista, it's really snazzy!
alwaysbeenasmiler: <user name=hiraethe> (Po☆In my eyes-- indisposed; in)
Watching episodes of Teletubbies in order to screencap Po for the icon challenge.

Oh. My. God. I am just dead.

But I have a lot of good fodder for icons now.

Yep, I'm nuts. (this probably isn't healthy)
