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, [community profile] 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 [community profile] 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 [community profile] 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!

alwaysbeenasmiler: <user name=hiraethe> (Sophie☆My thoughts are things)
There comes a time when I realize that I don't even know what the hell I'm gonna type out and in that case, it's time to RANDOMLY SELECT THE TAGS AND HOPE THEY APPLY (doubtful). And of course, I think I lack the brevity that this particular icon requires-- why is it that all my crack icons are the ones that I like the best? Maybe it is because you have to be in a VERY SPECIAL HEADSPACE and that seems to be my norm.

So today, I realized that I know more at my job than I really give myself credit for.

All of these calls, I was fixing people's internet problems in like minutes-- sending them on their way; yeah I had a few of really difficult calls, but for the most part it was smooth sailing, doesn't stop me of course from being nervous about my one on one since I am on Team Greer, and the supervisor is NOTORIOUS for being a stickler-- I am sure he is some sort of logical thinking types and I am not-- Here I am troubleshooting internets and posting fight club references in team chat. I am still certain that there are still quite a few on my team that don't know how to take me (like is she serious, is she not? who even is her?)

But tomorrow is friday and that means I can sleep in on saturday, and that is GREAT! (also catching up on FFXIV and the Doma Reconstruction quests, which is the only thing I really care about aside from getting gear from the Ivalice raid). Tomorrow, Owen and I are going to go see the Paige biopic, "Fighting with my Family" which is purely for us Wrestling Nerds, I don't even like Paige, but I will go watch it-- of course.

We are also pondering going to the Fastlane pay-per-view in Cleveland. IDK tho

Hope everyone is having an awesome day! <3 If you want, drop a comment about what you're happy about today!

I have to be out of the door in around 15 minutes due to the fact that I have to get gas and I also have to get some coffee and something to snack on.

I went to bed super early last night due to.. *drumroll* migraine. I did get a few icons done (2 more for update= bringing the total up to 5-- five more to go!) and I also watched 2 episodes of Ancient Magus Bride and 1 episode of Phoenix Wright (that was brought on by a subscriber to [community profile] hiraethe wanting more Phoenix Wright icons, and then I did 2 icons last night and I was already on that special roll, so I thought-- "why not get in the mood by watching some" as I have fond FOND memories of playing that game (Oh Edgeworth, my love!)

I also was trying to obtain Patty's "Gald Hunter" title last night-- the walkthrough I am following said it was "NOT MISSABLE"; despite the fact that I was a few plot points after where the FAQ told me to get it (late to the party). Someone else was like "Well maybe you are in a no-sidequest zone?" except I am not, I am wrapping up a shit ton of sidequests before I go to Myorza-- so idk, I don't want to miss something so totally Patty, I mean it's PATTY!

To everyone; I realize that I talk about icons a lot and my apologies, it is the one part of fandom that I actively take part in. Some people write fic, some people make fanmixes (and if you make fanmixes, please link me-- because I LOVE THEM!), but I make icons-- it is how I show my love for a particular series, character or pairing! For all you who have previous-to tolerated this, I love y'all-- you know this!

I hope everyone has a most awesome day!

Hiya everyone!

First of all to new friends, HEYO! Thank you for being my friend, I'm crazy and a bit sporadic but I've been told I'm a'ight! Welcome welcome welcome, if you have any pressing questions just go ahead and ask, I'm not shy in the slightest.

That being said, pretty much Monday - Thursday is my computer days, I make icons and check up with my DW correspondence and do creative things, I have tons of projects that I really need to work on and even now, I have an icon commission from [personal profile] asmaria so that is what I am working on, also I need to work on the icon challenge that I picked up, I'm right now sitting on 1/10 of my Fire Emblem claim (get it in gear omg~ *smacks myself with a fish*). Then on the weekend I will pretty much blow myself out of the water with Tales of Vesperia-- and I should run a dungeon or two in FFXIV.

ANYONE THAT PLAYS FFXIV AND WILL BE ON THE CRYSTAL DATA CENTER, TELL ME BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE GRAND ADVENTURES, OH WILL WE EVER!

I CAN SHOW YOU THE WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDD!

Okay, sorry about that-- got away with myself.

smash random icon, cue creepy gnome-- good job RNJESUS, good job-- scaring away my new friends like this.

I went ahead and did a culling of my tags and I took out the super problematic tags-- like the ones about not being able to guess someone's gender. Yes, in anime standards, it's valid. But to be fair, I am not going to be the one to perpetuate the stupid 4chan TRAP toxicity-- so cleaning up the tags. No worries though! I did keep MOST of them because there were some very hilarious.

But just removing the ones that mentioned 'raep' or 'traps' (unless it's a trap as in an actual trap-- i.e mouse).

Jokes are jokes, but something that was funny to be 15 years ago, really isn't anymore.

Going to try to do 3 icons today before I head in to watch Lotor and melt into a puddle of goo.

Yes, I love you Keith-- but you are not LOTOR.

If I had a Keith muse (my brain has been RP inhospitable for the past 6 years), this would be the point at which he'd stalk off and say that he doesn't care about my opinion, and he'd probably be lying-- a leeetle bit.

Hopefully everyone is having a great day!

'Paris' is back and that means I don't have to do her job as well as mine.

That's great because I have more time to get things done, and I don't have to worry about a lot of the things that I had to last week. Cage and Vault, nope-- not my concern. ACH, NOPE. I am sure that my appetite will come back too, oh I hope so-- because last week I ate like a bird, and while I did tear into my dinner on friday night, the highlight was the drinks that I had which kept me pretty buzzed and not as inclined to overkill it on the foodage.

Saturday, the husband took me for my favorite type of food-- Thai! (Oh yes, I could probably subsist on thai food permanently).

This week I am off on friday which means Icons will be made and fics will be read (I am looking at you [personal profile] alterimpulse). Also I have to do some things in FFXIV, like grinding for that hair in HoH. I NEED IT. On saturday is also dick around on games day, but sunday is Breakfast and State fair-- and then after that but a few more weeks until BEACH VACATION in which I try to transfer all my salt to the beach, where it belongs. Hopefully I will come back from vacation considerably less salty then when I started it.

But seriously, I'm like a kitten right now--

Aside from wanting to strangle some people through email-- but hey that's par for the course, you are going to get DUMB people who are allowed to have email addresses and who do not know our exact protocol. (It's big pharma-- of course there is protocol, there are PAGES of protocol)

Hopefully y'all are having a great monday, I know I can't complain.
