Thought I made it clear now--

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!

Good news: I have Fazoli's
Bad news: I also have a migraine

I am hoping that this migraine is food related, because if it isn't--gonna have to further medicate myself up, burrow myself under the covers and make it an early self-care evening where nothing gets done and I just make strange whimpering noises due to the pain. I can tough out a lot of things, and I have toughed out this migraine all day-- now it's time for me to revert to a crying baby.

As soon as a stuff my face that is.

It hurts about the same to chew as it does to think, so for right now I'm good.

Heya everyone! As we near the end of May, I am going to open up the floor for an ASK ME ANYTHING.

Anything you are remotely curious about-- involving fandom, RL, favorite characters, songs, pairings, hobbies-- my life is an open book. I will answer it to the best of my knowledge-- And hey! Do the same in your journal, so myself and your friends can ask you questions! Let's get to know each other-- everyone!

There was once upon a time where I was just a book nerd-- I think I was 14 or 15 and it was in the 90s, and I WAS a geek, I was a very big geek-- I didn't watch a whole lot of TV though, and while I wrote stories-- it was my own made up world-- and oh yes, the occasional anime on SCI-FI's JAPANIMATION WEEK (yes, that made me wince a bit just typing it out). I did play video games, but they were the standard platformers-- Sonic, Mario, Zelda and all that-- I wasn't really personally invested in it.

Until one summer day, in fact the very first day that I ever babysat these kids-- Their mom was a nurse and I had a full 10 hour day, five days a week with them-- or was starting it. They were playing this game called FF3 (or really it was FFVI but hey, silly americans), it was a NEW game, just came out and they had powered through it. They liked to pretend they were these characters, dress up like them-- and they conned me into being this escaped general with augmented magic (can you see where I'm going with this). And I played along with it because.. hahahaha hijinks!

Then they played this game in front of me-- more specifically, it was this scene where they are at this opera house and there is some impersonation going on; one of the members of your party looks exactly like a famous opera singer, and there's this note left by this mysterious person saying he was coming for her. Then come to find out there are 3 different groups coming for this singer.. including a quirky purple opera house.

It was love (not about the purple octopus, though I am an Ultros fangirl)

It was Setzer Gabbiani, gambler and airship engineer-- this guy had swag, oh god. with his long white wavy hair and his bomb ass gambler jacket-- he was a regular OG. To 14 year old me, that was the epitome of class and adventure-- to an ENFP like me, I could relate to him, wanted to have adventures, my own airship.. and yes, perhaps the love was in the fact that inherently I could relate to him-- I mean I wasn't a guy and I didn't look at him, but I think in my own personal soul, I was just as free spirited at him, or at least I wanted to be. I inserted him into all my stories (it wasn't a Mary Sue though because the heroine was a created character that was NOT like me-- I will argue this to my dying day). No matter what though, he went down as being my first favorite fictional character in a video game setting. (and he wouldn't be the last)

Setzer Gabbiani is like the pioneer, he paved the way for other video game, and yes even animated characters (following after him was Malachite from Sailor Moon-- in which I realize that I have a TYPE, i.e long white hair)

So question, everyone!

Who was your first favorite fictional character?
