THE [YGO] MOVIE.

February. 26. 2011

[Rants by: hello?]

‘Twas GOOOOD!!! Well, at least better than I thought :D I did have some expectations, but the fact that the three main protagonists were in the same scene interacting with each other was already good enough for me XD the YGO series is normally a very emotional and serious one, but this movie was great for something that’s not even an hour long XD

I feel so lucky to live near a theatre that was able to show both Gantz and YGO *MAJOR SNIFFLES*

But yeah, it’s not something I’d buy on like DVD though. I’d “download it illegally like everybody else” [Kaiba]. But you know what I would pay for, it the Hetalia movie :D I downloaded it with the crappiest subs I’ve ever seen (hell, even I could translate better than that) but watched it like three times whilst trying to ignore the subs :D the only reason I’d buy it is cause when it does come out on DVD, it’ll be in sub AND dub :D

This Valentine’s let’s wear a shirt that says “tonight, we feast on broken hearts” XDDD

Sadly, it isn’t actually a shirt. It’s a Valentine’s message bg from Gaia. But still, I really wish it was XD not like I can print it and put it on my own shirt, they’d probably come after me with pitchforks shouting and reciting copyright shit.

But yeah, onto the second topic. Racism is hilarious. But not the racism we all know and love, I’m talking about THIS. I swear, it’s the only anime I know where when I read the character bios, I’M LEARNING ACTUAL STUFF. their profiles feel like textbooks and history is all of a sudden so fun and easy. THIS is how things should be taught xD ANIME IS THE KEY!! And quite honestly, current favorite character is Sweden, simply because he’s the only character who has a confirmed sexual orientation xDDDD yeah, I know it’s weird, but the author has confirmed that he’s officially gay, especially for Finland ;D oh man I can’t wait for the movie to finally come out to DVD here T^T I’ve been trying to keep myself from reading the plot on wikia >O

AAHHHH!! One of my favorite pictures :D I love his art, everything he does is painted from photoshop, which inspired me to start painting XD although I’m still painting with a mouse so it’s tedious and tiring >.< I'm starting to wonder why I'm not pursuing art as a career. Oh yeah, that's right. NO PORFOLIO. Oh wells xD

============================

I’m too lazy to actually finish this post so it shall be done laters. I’m too busy painting and squealing over Sweden-san. DA SVEDANEYA.

There are those people who are always frakkin cranky when they wake up. It doesn’t matter if they had a full night’s sleep, a 5min nap or a nap in class. When they wake up, they’re half dead and just mad bitchy. Doesn’t matter if you’re a guy. I’ve seen guys do this. It’s actually funny when a guy does it. When a girl gets all bitchy from waking up, it’s like BETCH SHUT UP XD

Seriously, do you hate waking up that much? Ok, it’s not even like people wake them up. This happens even when they wake up themselves. They’re still like UGGGHHHHHH stomp stomp stomp and it’s getting real EFFin annoying >_>

What, do you like sleeping that much? You wanna run away from the world that bad? Hey I have a bloody genius idea. Let’s put you to sleep permanently! That way, you’ll never have to wake up as a bitch and the rest of us can be at peace. It’s totally a win-win situation. What do you say? :D ….:D

Also, I’m dying for this and trying real hard to buy this right now:

I WANT <-- clicky-san.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET ONE FOR YEARS AND NOW I FINALLY HAVE THE MONEY TO DO SO!

TRANSITION!

Ok so in other news, also tired of these kids constantly going either fml fml fml or bitchy whine whine whine. Like just SHUT UP AAHHH if your life sucks then too bad, my life sucks too and I complain, but I do it in a fun rantful way, not like “FML FML FMLLLLL SUICIDEE”. And no, don’t whine. Just stop. Stop whining about how lonely you are. Stop trying to be so obvious about how you want people to notice you. The funny thing is, the person doing this is a guy. Girls do it all the time through appearance. This kid is just like “I feel so lonely, why doesn’t anyone pay attention to me?” and yeah. Seriously. I’m serious. He’s that blunt about it. It’s like he thinks “friends” are the most important thing in the world. I know that sounds hypocritical of me, but hold that thought. I love having friends and my friends are the most important to me, but this kid is just like wanting quantity and quality. Dude, the world doesn’t work that way. The world doesn’t exist to be your friend only. The world existed before you and will exist after you die. THAT is how the world works. I don’t care about how many friends I have. I don’t care about making new friends either cause the ones I have now are of fine quality. Quality that was built through years of trials and bonding. You’re not gonna get a friendship like that from someone you knew for a week. Come on, let’s be real. Especially not with that whinyass attitude. No.

OWARI!

—————————————————————————————————————

whispering voices pass us saying “betrayal”
you don’t even see the end rushing for you
shedding the light you thought didn’t exist
wielding the claymore that you so loved, more so than me
wings are cut and crosses are burned
any lines or borders have been broken down
the fire behind will not ever rest
so long as I am here

[Paradise Lost -- lyrics of my eng parody ;P]

[Rants by: hello?]

I can’t believe I had the audacity to not make a new year’s post on time. It’s only the second day, so I won’t be killed, na?

Anyways, here is a simple list of updates:

Work: Starting to “dislike”.
School: It’s pretty much a 404 right now.
Anime: Obsessed with Hetalia dub and Bleach’s op13: HERE YA GO …and also Ga Rei Zero. It’s sad. SO WATCH IT.
Music: That song from op13 and also Super Scription of Data [Eiko Shimamiya] and Paradise Lost [Chihara Minori]. Look them up ;] oh and Hitomi no Tsubasa [access]
Social: Not much to say there since I’m mad tired these days from WORK.
Art: Working on a vector but like every other day XD here’s the progress so far:

It’s something I drew….cause….I design characters now….I don’t know when that became my job but yeah XD and I dressed up as this for Halloween :D I like this character only cause of the way he/she fights XD yeah, unknown gender. Actually, you know what, I’ll show you guys the bios for all these characters I’ve been made to work on, but unfortunately, pictures can’t be given yet since I’m STILL not done sketching them. SKETCHING. For the bios, here’s the link: CHARACTERS

Family: Rat’s in the house. We’re asian. Not good. Enough said XD
Other: KNITTING! It’s knitting season and this is what I’m currently working on:

It’s a windsor/black cowl :DD I rarely make striped things so I might as well, since I heart stripes. HEART. And I haven’t made a really warm and thick cowl….much xD so yay.

So yeah…..HAPPY NEW YEAR’S. I wanted to make a special holiday picture, but no time T^T well no in between all of life’s crap.

[Rants by: hello?]

I like that word, but that’s besides the point xD I just realized that when I dress up as things (or cosplay, whatever you wanna call it), I never really dress up as anything people know. I keep it pretty esoteric, since the only characters I have confidence in pulling off are characters that my friends create. Examples shall be given later. In the mean time, let’s discuss something we can all actually relate to. TURKEY DAY!

Yeap, every year, Americans everywhere celebrate the tradition of turning this beautiful and cute guy:

into THIS:

And seriously, if you make it the right way, it’ll taste like CHICKEN. It’ll be steaming white mea :DDD aside from the meat, there’s the other factor: family dinners. Most people enjoy them, but you know me. I don’t like my family, so it’s the last thing I’d like to do on any given holiday but it happens and I survive, so it can’t be all that bad. It’s not that things happen to me personally, but the other members around me just go insane because no one wants to be there and no one wants to put up with anyone else. In order to cease all the yelling, all the adults usually drink dialoads of wine until their speech is slurred so much that they can’t even argue. That’s a lot coming from Asians. Except for my priest uncle, though. He’s the most rational one there and he can stay that way without the use of alcohol. The rest of us “children” get hypnotized by the cable tv so there’s no need to worry about us. Yeap. No need.

And then there’s the things you’re actually grateful for. What am I grateful for? My friends. Anyone who’s read and commented here more than once. And this gonna be corny, but…..LIFE!!! I know I’m gonna die someday and that everything will eventually come to an end, but it’s worth it. Despite all the suffering, rage, disappointments and hardships, it’s still pretty fun to live. The world is so interesting in the sense that it’s so complicated that it’s simple.

HEHEHE~ as for the esoteric characters, I’m too lazy to do all this scanning and shiz, so I’ll update this post with those pictures…..by the end of the year XD until then, BWAHAHAHAHA!

===============================================

Comparing myself to the me I imagined; the moment I start thinking that I can’t do any better is the real start line

[Rants by: hello?]

It’s official that I’m amazing ;] puhahahaha well it doesn’t really matter to me whether people think that or not. Does it really? All I have to do is just continue doing what I have to do and being awesome. It doesn’t have to be known…..although it’d be nice XDDDD

And another thing before I start: yeah, changed the layout XDD sorry if it’s too simple for some people, but I love simplicity. In like…..everything XD clothes, food, yadda yadda. So yeah. Any more info about the layout is in the “the site” page since I update that every time I have a new layout ;]

So this will be another one of my “stream of thought” posts. Ready? GO!!

So yeah I was talking to this “other person” about presents and flowers….god knows how it got to that. But anyways, I told them about what I personally thought about giving flowers as gifts or whatever. If someone gave me flowers as a present, I’d seriously feel insulted. Don’t get me wrong, I love flowers, but only when they’re actually rooted to the ground and alive. Once you wrap them up and give them to someone, by the end of the day, they’re already either starting to die or halfway there. And a decent bouquet these days is like what, $20…..so you’re basically paying $20 to get me something that’ll die. I really really don’t like seeing flowers die, it kind of makes me depressed. So yeah, I don’t like getting flowers as if they’re supposed to make me happy about how momentary they are. One thing I like doing though is taking single petals and putting them in books and never taking them out for like another 5yrs. And then laminating it. I wonder where I got that from…….well EITHER WAY XD I digress…..but yeah that person was just like “well people use flowers for giving respect for funerals, so you really shouldn’t be saying that” and I’m just like “we’re asian, we give hella better stuff to the dead than frakkin flowers like actual food and BEER….I don’t know where the hell that tradition came from, but we have it so LET’S USE IT” XDD

And that kind of (I guess?) leads into my next thought: how people think I’m some kind of radical or rebel. I don’t really consider myself as a rebel….it’s not like I’ve done anything controversial worthy of the public’s attention. Well at the same time, that’s not what one has to do to be a rebel, I guess. Still. I still don’t think I’m a rebel. It’s just that I somehow started to think about life from an early age and just kept on thinking and thinking. While most other kids were worried about cooties, I was worried about my purpose in life. I just think of a lot of things differently from a lot of people. Maybe I’m weird/eccentric but I’m not….a rebel….what? And I know I’ve kept a lot of opinions to myself until now, but….seriously? Before people used to bitch about how I never said anything and now that I do say some things, they bitch at that, too. You’re just upset cause I’m not telling you what you wanna hear. Well, too bad. You’re not gonna hear what you wanna hear and you’re not gonna be treated the way you wanna be treated. The world is a place full of twisted realities and ideas and it’s hell not fair at all. It’s being run by humans, of course it’s not fair.

And that somehow leads into the next topic: reality. Well, more like how I think truth and reality are different. I mean I guess you can use those words interchangeably in some situations, but I realized that I don’t like to do that. To me, reality is something that exists in each of our minds. Everyone has their own reality and as some of us might know, some people like to skew reality to their twisted favor. They create their own mental world and drag other people into it, making it like a mental prison for others. The truth on the other hand, to me, is the underlying layer of facts and whatever else. Many people might not really know that the “truth” is, but it’s still there and will never change. You can believe whatever you want, but that won’t change the truth. However, you can change your own reality and try to make yourself and others believe otherwise. If that even makes sense XD

Now this isn’t really that related to the previous topic, but it popped up in my head anyways so here we go. This is for all the people out there who came out of a relationship. If you feel like your ex has left some kind of gap in your mind/heart/soul/whatever, honestly, there is absolutely no need for there to be a gap. I’m not saying this cause I’m like cold or anything. It’s just that I’ve gone through the whole feeling-the-gap phase for a while without really telling anyone and then I slowly realized that there was really no reason for me to feel so empty about this person. Mainly because that person was only there for a short period in my life. Well for some people it might not be so short, but still, if that person wasn’t like there ever since you were little and it’s not like some cute story about childhood friends being together, then you don’t have to let them control you even after the breakup by feeling emptiness. You’ve lived quite a number of years before you met that person and you’ve done fine without them. You obviously weren’t that “happy” with them if you ended up separating so you can just continue on the way you were before you ever met them. I mean, in my case, I really was happy, but …eh, I’m over it XD I’ve lived all the way up till now without him, and I can sure as hell move on without him. There’s no reason to feel empty or lonely. Cause you never are ^^

Well that’s it for now ^^ and to make this not-too-boring, here’s what I’m working on as the cover of my cards binder. Yeah. I’m serious. I have a binder for all my cards. And I believe I have like…..700+ cards XDD and counting…..AND COUNTING…..but yeah. Here ya go. Have fun. Use it if you want, I really don’t mind XD

[one of my first few attempts at drawing Yami in KAGAMI style XD]

Of course it’s not done yet since I haven’t colored it, but I don’t wanna color until I get a tablet. I really think I’ll do amazing things once I get a tablet xDD better than using a mouse all the time x.x dammit I used to have epic skills in using ms paint to draw things, with a regular mouse…..where did all that goooo

========================================================

I’m bad Ash. And you’re good Ash. You’re goody little two shoes, goody little two shoes, good little two shoes hahahahha goody little two shoes, good little two shoes–”

By it, I mean songs xP I’ve decided to upload some of my recordings to youtube. Just to throw them out there and see what happens xDD I’m not that great, but if I’m gonna do this, I might as well spread out as much as I can, hah? So this is my channel: IxYamikoxA hmm…..maybe I should make another channel or something cause that username…I don’t really use that nickname anymore XD these days it’s more like ashiiya, luce, ciel, or even like kyouki no lulu xDDD I digress, but the whole point of me doing this is to be criticized, basically. CRITICIZED, not hated xD remember, criticism utilizes logic while hate just uses ignorance/stupidity. You don’t wanna be the latter, now do you?

Well, putting that aside, there’s something I’ve been wanting to ask the world. What do you think of the phrase “do whatever you want, it’s your life, do whatever makes you happy and if anyone says otherwise, then they’re wrong”? Personally, it really annoys me. Whenever someone tells me to do whatever the hell I want cause it doesn’t matter what other people think, I cringe. You can’t just outright not care what anyone thinks =___= you have to be considerate of others to a reasonable extent. And honestly, I believe that I won’t ever be truly happy. I can be content, but never happy. I don’t think true happiness exists in this world, so I’m not gonna step on others just to make myself “happy”. It’s a waste of time and energy. I can try and do what I want, but that also has to be in moderation. You can’t just waltz around the world doing whatever the hell you want. If I was given the power to do whatever I wanted, I would’ve ruled this world by now Kira-style. Seriously. Or to be a little more realistic, I would’ve become a serious problem child/delinquent. Lines are drawn for a reason, rules are set for a reason. Lines are not meant to be crossed. Rules are not meant to be broken. That’s just an excuse for humanity, it’s a way for us to try and justify any rule that we might break. If we seriously didn’t need any rules, would we have come up with so many?

So what’s your stance on it? Remember – criticize, don’t hate ;]

[Rants by: hello?]

The new YGOTAS video. I know. I’m sorry. But it seems that I’m now more obsessed with this than the actual YGO series XD IT’S FUNNYYYY well I think it’s funny, I don’t know about everyone else out there…..>_> but they have a large fanbase, so I can only assume ….that mad people love it xD

I usually instantly love any dialogue involving Marik and Bakura. For some reason, they always turn out to be hilarious. Which is why I kind of miss Bakura and I’m sad that he won’t be appearing again until the last season =_= if LK is even willing to go THAT far T^T but here’s the dialogue xDD

Marik: Let us join forces, Bakura! And together we will use our combined strength to tear Yugi Moto a new EFF hole!
Bakura: What the bloody hell is a *beep* hole?
Marik: What?
Bakura: That thing you just said, what is it?
Marik: A EFF hole?
Bakura: Yes. That.
Marik: Well it’s obvious, isn’t it?
Bakura: Enlighten me.
Marik: Well, it’s the…..hole that you EFF…
Bakura: Soooo you mean a vagina.
Marik: Of course! What else would I EFF?
Bakura: I don’t know. Bottoms?
Marik: Agh, for the last friggin time, I do not partake in that sort of nonsense! I only EFF vaginas! Because I’m totally straight! Ooooo, look at me and my straightness!
Bakura: Ok, so, what you’re saying is….we’re going to tear Yugi Moto a new vagina.
Marik: Uh…yes…tha-that is totally what I meant…
Bakura: I wan’t aware that he had an old vagina.
Marik: Oh, shut ya face, Bakura!
Bakura: Kiss my ass, Marik!
Marik: But there’s poop down there!

So there you have it…..I admit, it’s one of the weirder dialogues they’ve had and this was part of the deleted scenes thing hahaha I thank LK for putting up such deleted scenes even when he didn’t use them for the official episodes :D the new episode is pretty awesome by the way, although a lot of people are like egh at how there was no real reference to the Ace Attorney game. I didn’t really mind, it was still good :D

There was another deleted scene shown right after that one that also involved Bakura and is the only reason why I’m putting it up XDDD

Grandpa: Bakura! Bakura! Wake up!
Bakura: What? What is it? What could possibly be so bloody important that you had to violently shake me while I’m lying sick in a hospital bed??
Grandpa: I just had my first successful bowel movement in two years! Hooray! *falling* Ah! Whoa, nelly!
Bakura: Congratulations. Now you’ve had your second.

I honestly didn’t know what that was supposed to imply, I guess it’s open to interpretation but it involved Bakura so I can only guess that–

I’ve also been obsessed lately with singers’ live performances, specifically Yuki Kajiura’s live concert back from 2008. The singers that she recruited are all SO awesome. Their voices blend so beautifully and the harmonies are ahhhhh beautiful!!! And her compositions X.X she’s such a genius~ although you can see an obvious trend and style in all of her songs. It’s ok cause that trend is AWESOME~~ I didn’t know that she herself sang in some of those songs o.o I didn’t know YUUKA was really Yuki AHHHH so stupid XD there are some songs that I only like when I hear them live and not in their recorded versions, so my list of favorite songs sung live are:

*a song of storm and fire
*Parallel Hearts
*silly-go-round
*liminality
*salva nos

[These are just links to the youtube videos of the performances. I'll be uploading the full concert albums soon, so hold onto your seats for that :DDD ]

a song of storm and fire is an all-time favorite~~~ I will love that song forever~!! And that random mixture of Latin and Japanese they sing is apparently now called Kajiurian by fans XDDD well, whatever goes :P speaking of that song, there are still a lot of people who are confused about the ending of TRC. I’ll be explaining that in the next post ^^ until then, MATA DA ZE!

=================================================================

“Don’t worry! With the help of this ax, we’ll be sure to find half-naked girls in no time!”
“Why would an ax help?”
“Haven’t you seen the commercials? Girls love the smell of ax!”
“That’s a body spray, you dork!”
“No, it was definitely a weapon.”

Crutches: I now have a pair due to me slipping and falling while getting off a bus. Well that was just retarded XD

Youtube: I’m considering putting up some of my recordings in a single video onto youtube, but without my face. I wouldn’t want people watching or not watching just cause of my face. What does that matter when you’re singing? If I wanted my face to be such an important factor, I’d put my face out for modelling or some shit. I follow enough rules in this world, and this is something I most definitely don’t have to abide to.

I figured out that the songs I sing the most are BoA songs and songs that Yuki Kajiura wrote. And those two, in terms of Japanese songs, are the ones with the most talent and are pretty hard to follow vocally. I can’t help it though, their songs are so fun to sing, the way the vocals rage so much in a short amount of time :D makes for good practice ;] I’ll never become a singer or anything like that, but it’s just like art – it’s a great stress relieving habit.

Don’t wanna make this too long so this is where we part :}

It’s enough to make a guy angry. So angry that you might call it rage. Rage that is located specifically in the western-most county on Long Island. Also known as BROOYKLN! *kicks a hole in the wall*

Oh man I haven’t been able to post to my heart’s content cause I currenty don’t have any internet. Rather, my ethernet won’t work but my wifi mysteriously still does. So this is from my iPod. I swear, I think that lightning from last week cause that weird freaky blue electricity to appear behind my monitor and somehow screwed up the ethernet.

Anyways, I got a job at Panera Bread for those of you who know it~~ as this will my first real job, I’m so excited :D if you’ve never been to this place before, try it, it’s so awesome~ I feel so pathetic not being allowed my own bank account. I actually do need one in order to get paid for this job and I’m still being treated like a 10yr old. Hey I know I look that young but I’m really not, so….BANK ACCOUNT!!! XD

*and typing out codes with an iPod is so annoying T^T
