Thought I made it clear now--

First of all-- open for the entire month of MAY is the FRIENDS ICON REQUEST POST. You want an icon made by me, drop in your request and I'll see what I can do! I love giving presents and hurrah for 50 extra icon slots, amirite?

---

Been stuck under a rock evidentally-- First it was in FFXIV, being stuck at the GOLDEN SAUCER, trying to get myself the Regalia Mount. GUESS WHAT I MANAGED TO DO? Yaaas, get the Regalia Mount-- guess what I don't want to hear again? If you guessed "GOLDEN SAUCER MUSIC", you would be 100% correct, that was from hours upon hours of punching Gilgamesh over and over while I waited for dungeons to load, and having randoms Gates come up where I was forced to do Leap of Faith with what seemed like 100s of people trying to compete for the same jumping spot. (Yeah, no manner of camera angle adjustment will ever make that ok)

Trying to get other characters ready for ShadowBringers tho.

Also I've been watching Fruits Basket and OH MY FEELS! I remember this all-- like the onslaught of feels and I wonder, am I going to cry when we get to the "Snow" episode, I just know it. There will be icons from that as well-- when I get a chance, so much on my plate (and I have to fit work, husband and sleep into the equation as well, though luckily he is watching Furuba with me)

Other items of note.

1.) plugging away through Princess, which is slightly more violent to my feels then Furuba is. And it didn't help that after the GoT episode on Sunday, I had a crossover of Game of Thrones and Princess. SUPER STUPID BRAIN, WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME?
2.) Been hitting the random button on Crunchyroll-- watched Ramen Fighter Miki. BRAIN! STAHP~!
3.) Also, RECOMMENDATION! STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND READ THE COMIC LORE OLYMPUS-- SERIOUSLY SO MUCH LOVE!

Alrighty, that is it in a nutshell-- that was my fandom vomit! *gets out the mop* Srry, everybody-- I get enthusiastic.

Time to talk about WrestleMania, Princess (the manga) and Icons!

Watching televised wrestling is fairly new to me. I didn't start watching it til around 2016, though 2015 I watched matches here and there when it was playing over at Owen's place (since he watches it religiously), I started watching because I saw Bayley wrestle, Owen was actually sneaky enough to show me a character that he thought I would latch on to as an insidious play to get me to watch something that he was so excited about. Hence that is how it started, and how I fell down a hole; I eventually also found Dean Ambrose and Becky Lynch at the bottom, and thus fangirlness was born (I know 'fangirlness' is not a word, and that's okay with me)

While I have become somewhat disenchanted with Bayley (though really, I did really totally fangirl when Bayley attacked Sasha before they became a tag team), my love for Becky Lynch is still going strong so I was thrilled to see that she won, and while I am not a big fan of the route they are taking with a fued with Lacey Evans, it is what it is-- I hope Becky continues to be THE MAN! woop woop! I am not excited about wrestling as much as I used to - (I will be excited when Toni Storm makes the callup from NXT UK, you better believe) but there are still wrestlers that I do follow.

Now about Princess, after posting those icons up at hiraethe, I decided "HEY I WANT TO READ THIS MANGA SERIES AGAIN". And I am. the advantage is that I can recognize all the great traits of my favorite characters early on, the disadvantage is that I can also see exactly where everything went wrong in the second read through, and everything starts going wrong almost from Chapter 1, but reading it the first time, you don't see it and can't imagine the levels of dropped the ball that happens which causes the death of many very beloved characters.

though the series hasn't ended, and I've heard it stated that it hasn't been updated because the mangaka cannot endure the eventual death of certain characters who will remain nameless and who I will be completely gutted over if in fact that happens, and reading the very last chapter a few years ago-- I can see that is exactly where it is headed, and oh the tears-- especially as it is involving my favorite character and my favorite pairing in the series-- if what I think happens happens then it is going to be a very. bad. time for me and I may need to hit the sake bottle to console myself. But the characters, oh the characters. My favorite is Eshild because she is a strong independent woman, and her romance with Leo is almost magical-- she trained herself how to fight, and he's sort of grumpy about it because she's a princess but then when he realizes that he can't protect her 24/7, he realizes that he's glad that she can hold her own. The 'main' couple is not my favorite, but I think it is because the two together are not really strong personalities--

Since I am re-reading the series, there will probably be a lot of icons involving it-- already have a few manga caps picked out as well as some of the cover art which is also gorgeous! Gotta see if my manga colouring game is as strong as it used to be-- (doubtful).

I cleared the icon challenges on my plate so now it's 'Nia Freeform', though I am planning opening up a gift icon post sometime in the next couple of weeks-- also there is some textures to make for over at my icon comm, so icon wise-- I still have a lot on my plate because hey, I love a good buffet and I keep piling it on and on so that my work will never be done.

I also have a new icon uploaded that I have to figure out the lyrics for-- and that will put my Chrono Trigger icon count up to 2 (3 if you count my Chrono Trigger OC which I also have an icon of because immadork-- even dorkier that when I make my Magus icon, I will un-upload her and then upload the both of them.. side.by.side. *shots fired... at myself*) Bur seriously Marle is my second favorite character in the game-- playable. (Schala is up there as well even though she's an NPC)-- she's no Magus, but that's alright because I love her optimism and hope regardless.

Changed the colours of my journal-- and now Po's the Default! Bye Bye Skeletor!~

The count in my 'To Be Edited' folder for icons is now up to 400-- well people, I'll be iconning forever pretty much-- since I also have to take time to do other things like play video games and take my husband out for walks. (and books, forgot about reading)

Time to go to work, hopefully it will be a peaceful day with no aggro'd customers.

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!

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!

Midnight is what time we got out-- normally start time is 11:30 and end time is 10:00 which is a straight 10 hours' but today we came in at 10:30 and got out at 12:00-- which is too much time.. TOO MUCH TIME DEALING WITH PEOPLE WHO TAKE WAY TOO MUCH OF MY ENERY-- it's like everywhere, everywhere "STUPIDITY SURROUNDS", and you'd think that I wasn't an ENFP with the talk that I am indulging in.

But most people forget one vital function of the ENFP personality-- that is Te.

Ni (function-dominant): SPARKLES BUNNIES RAINBOWS BOOKS VIDEO GAMES ALL THE THINGS *grabby hands*
Fi (function-auxiliary): Hey, let me sit here and read sappy romance novels and listen to Keane music all day
>
Si (function-inferior): *the kid with the ipod stuck in his ears, playing bejeweled blitz on his cellphone-- every single minute of every single day*

Right between Fi and Si, there is Te--

There was a song written about my Te function, it was by Cake, entitled "Short Skirt, Long Jacket"-- Tertiary function, hates people, hates everyone, likes coffee, likes songs about shooting the balls off of men, is a mean ass motherfucking bitch-- it is the part that exists while I am at work-- there is no fun times with me (unless you are Owen or a chosen few who my Te has deemed 'hard workers' and therefore worthy of being exposed to the other areas of my personality), I will tell you exactly what I think of you and I will do it in the most blunt and brutal way-- the queen of the bitch slap (the ENFP bitch slap is as real as the INFJ door slam-- and the Te function pretty much invented it). There are many people who I have plotted out their deaths intricately in my mind, but unfortunately for Te, my other functions click into place once I leave that raging cesspit, and thus no opportunity to do so (also, as we've discussed-- there's no video games in prison, so murder is a no go, I'd be SOOOO bored)

Today Te was in overdrive, so much that I hopefully will sleep like a baby-- seriously 13 hours in that place like 13 hours too many

Did I mention that I have to wake up in 7 hours to do it ALL again-- motherfucking A-----~!!

What I wouldn't give to work with competent people-- and people say that I act way different on facebook then at work-- well d'uh! I'm happier when I don't have to deal with constant stupidity-- you'd think I was a babysitter or something.

Yes, I'm harsh-- I know--

Sorry for not responding to posts or anything-- I did read all of them (okay I skimmed them)-- but mondays are usually not ideal response days for me-- hopefully y'all had a better and more fufilling monday then I did-- guess I better throw myself at my bed and hope that this adrenaline pans out so that I can sleep!

Well, there's nothing much to post because everything was calm for the most part.

I got my emergency room bill and surprisingly it wasn't as much as I thought it was going to be, so hurrah for that. I just have to go to Financial Services and set up a payment plan, but hey-- I guess that's one less thing to worry about.

Also a note about any icons I post-- if anyone is interested in using any of them-- feel free to! The ones that have no credit keywords are ones that I've made and really, credit is not required in the slightest! I used to be like "CREDIT ME OR ELSE" but hey, I'm just chill and I really just icon for fun here and there-- (and to see if I still have a knack for it). (But please don't take the Alaiyna one-- as she's a character that I used to play on FFXIV, there'd be no real point for anyone to use it except for me)

Hope y'all are doing great! I am about ready to play a little bit of Tales of Beseria and make some fries!
