I've been meaning to make this post for a while, so time to get this off my chest so I quit fretting about it.

Before the LJ fiasco started, [personal profile] grapegarden was meant to be another creative journal. It still is. Except lately I've been using this journal to cross-post between here and my LJ and it's getting my brains scrambled. So here's the deal.

If you want to watch my fanfiction/drabbles/icons/graphics, [personal profile] grapegarden is what it's here for.
If you want to watch me in general (my life/discussions on fandom/etc.), [personal profile] shamanicshaymin is my regular journal. :)

Both DWs really need layout fixing, but right now, I'm too flustered to fix them because of life. So maybe later.

So if you don't care about my writing/icons, feel free to dump this journal and follow me on [personal profile] shamanicshaymin. Sorry for the confusion, and I wanted to clear things up before things got out of hand. :)

Dad and I caught up a lot in Maurice, and next time we're starting Part 4~ You know that feeling you get while you read a chapter that's got you excited and you're thinking, "...Whoa. I liked you before, book, and now this is reeeeeeally getting good! :o" That kind of... profoundness. That's Chapter 37 for me. (Me: "Wow, Maurice should've taken hypnotism earlier! :o He's way less of a jerk than he was earlier!") Dad seems to feel the same as I do, and oh boy oh boy oh boy~ ♥

Sara Jaye and I watched most of the Jirachi movie despite technical issues. We'll finish next time~

Meanwhile... I think I found my new favorite tumblr. (Magicastuck: a Homestuck AU in the Puella Magi Madoka Magica universe)

I'm in love with Rose's design from the banner, gdjksghskjdg.

Watch Dave's transformation sequence. Oh my god. Oh my fucking god. (Like/Reblog the original post here)

New Year wasn't much. We didn't even get to see any balls drop. :( (Apparently, my parents went to bed before midnight, nom. They were extremely tired and I don't blame them) James and I managed to kiss in the final seconds of 2011 though! And he gave a gift of an amethyst key. Later, I remarked that it was better than any Keyblade in Kingdom Hearts.

Me: "I wonder what kind of world I could unlock..."
Him: "...My heart."

Awwwwwww! Yes, I'm mushy. Shut up. :P

Anyway, I had a dream last night where I met Patrick Wolf. ;; Opponent used Dream Eater! )

First thing I'm going to watch for 2012? My Little Pony: Escape At Midnight Castle. Fuck yeah.

It's that time of year again... time to close off 2011 with fandom memes!

First Fandom of 2011: Pokemon B/W. And Raggedy Ann & Andy, aka my Obscure Fandom.
Favorite Main Character of 2011: Pinkie Pie! If you want main-main, Twilight Sparkle. :) Though he's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay far from being a main character, I'm totally gaga for Grimsley too. Fuck yeah.
Favorite Villain of 2011: THIS IS THE YEAR OF VILLAINS. Let's check them out!

- Lord Kuruku from Unico and the Island of Magic. HOLY FUCK HE IS TERRIFYING. Just... listening to him is bad enough. He'll turn you into a puppet and use you as a building block for his castle.
- Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. HATERS GONNA HATE. I love this fucking bastard. /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
- Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. There's a reason "Hip to be Square" is on my iPod.
- Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange. A classic villain protagonist! "Singing in the Rain" immediately makes me think of the guy/movie/book without fail. And he likes Beethoven.
- Discord from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. He is so much fucking fun. I hope he comes back in future episodes. ;; If not... his short run was definitely a sweet one. ;D "Eternal chaos comes with chocolate rain, guys! Chocolate rain!" You said it, Pinkie.

Nope, Team Plasma doesn't make it on the list. FAIIIIIIIIIIIIIL.

Favorite Het Couple of 2011: N/Touko from Pokemon B/W.
Favorite Yuri Couple of 2011: Applejack/Rarity from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Honorable mention: Homura/Madoka from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. THIS YEAR WAS FULL OF PONIES AND MAGICAL GIRLS. MOSTLY PONIES.
Favorite Yaoi Couple of 2011: Andy/Marius from my novel-in-progress. Might as well be honest. :P Though if you want a true fandom answer, I was quite infatuated with Grimsley/Marshal from Pokemon B/W, so there's that.
Fandom That You Never Expected To Get Into: Homestuck. :o I PROMISE I'M NOT ONE OF THE INSANE FANS THOUGH. I mostly sit in my own sandbox with friends, haha. XD
Fandom That Made An Unexpected Comeback: Sonic the Hedgehog for short spurts of glory. After Nicole beat SA2B, I showed her Sonadow and Knuxouge art. I watched some of the playthrough of Sonic 2006 for lulz and got hit by nostalgia, and then someone made a post of Sonic Generations which got me curious about the games again. And omg, Sonic CD just got a re-release. ghdskjghdkjsghkdg.

Not to mention I discovered one of my friends filled an old Sonic/Griff request I left at the kink meme. All my love, [profile] da_space_kase. All my love. ;;
Fandom That Inspired The Most Crack: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Lots of it. When one of your main characters is Pinkie Pie, that's to be expected.
Last Fandom of 2011: Homestuck!
Fandom of 2011: *singing* My Little Poniiiiiiiy, My Little Poniiiiiiy, ahhhhhhhh~

One of the first things I'll be watching for the new year will be "My Little Pony: Rescue at Midnight Castle." "Con Air" will be coming up soon. Oh yes.

Now for the fanfiction meme. My answers got heavier than I wanted... )
I can count on them to multiply~
Michaelangelo Is a Party Dude (With a Genuinely Evil Taste in Pizzas)

A group of brave souls decided to try every pizza mentioned by the Teenage Mutant Ninjas Turtles in the original cartoon and record the results. This is noteworthy for several reasons: 1) there were a lot of pizzas mentioned in the cartoon's lengthy run, and 2) almost all of them were totally fucking disgusting. Seriously, there's a pizza with chocolate sprinkles and clam juice, and it isn't even on the top three most fucked up sets of toppings mentioned in TMNT -- and the video is like 10 minutes long. That's a lot of insanely awful pizzas.

So I salute these guys for their willingness to try anything, their thoroughness in making every single goddamn pizza, and most of all, the fact that no one vomited. Well done, you crazy kids.

So Dad and I halfway through reading Maurice together. Another usual lovely reading time right? Well...

Me: Well, looks like {Maurice's} sisters are never going to forgive {Maurice}. I don't blame them. I say he totally deserved it!
Dad: He's a total pissant.
Me: I know, right?
Dad: In fact, he reminds me of *insert the name of a certain relative that we both dislike with aggravated emphasis*
Me: ...*insert nervous He Gets Better speech along with My Favorite Character Shows Up Shortly Before Part 4 Starts, etc.*

Yes, Maurice is a douchebag most of the book. God I sound like an apologist. But bringing in Relative-That-Must-Not-Be-Named makes things all kinds of awkward. The last thing I want is for the rest of the book to be ruined by a character who reminds him of Dear-God-Why who may or may not be redeemed for him by the end and that I've wasted both mine and Dad's time. He still likes the book (I think...) and laughs at some parts (including today's session), it's just... worries worries worries. I just wish Awful Relatives did not have to be included in the one place that was supposed to be our salvation from them.

It makes ME feel like a douchebag. This is why I never recommend or share anything unless I want to beat myself up.

Trying not to cry, 'cause the LAST thing Dad needs is to be jinxed out of Christmas after finally proving himself to the Dolans he was capable of celebrating the holidays without snapping at someone and/or making them upset. In fact, I wish we were on the plane already.

As usual, I'm not doing a good job.

For those new to DW, I found a useful link here. Answers questions regarding fixing layouts, RPing, etc. :)

Awesome gifts. But none of this compares of the kindness of one woman I met this Christmas holiday. ;;

Ladies and Gentleman, get ready for an IRL Crowning Moment of Heartwarming. )

Holy shit, I'm updating my icon journal! Run for the hills! The good news is I have Photoshop back. The bad news is adjusting the lighting on icons is more difficult on a laptop than a desktop. Fuck. But I miss icon-making, so you get not one, but TWO batches! Most of it is months-old crap though (including a few I forgotten to put last post!), so the quality of the icons will vary humongously. And most of 'em are plain-looking bases. Fanart & Official Art are used here, and as usual, I've lost the original links to the former. But a lot of it should turn up on pixiv. *nod*

Pokemon :: 48 (23 General, mostly Audino and Scrafty. 25 Retro!B/W, including 4 shippy icons of the N/Hilbert/Hilda spectrum)
Arashi no Yoru ni/One Stormy Night :: 28 (19 Gabu/Mei, 5 Mei, 4 Gabu)
Raggedy Ann & Andy :: 28 (11 Andy, 7 Ann, 10 Ann + Andy)
Misc. :: 3 (2 Uncle Chuck from Sonic SatAM, 1 Kyouko/Sayaka from Puella Magi Madoka Magica)

Ladies and Gentleman? Allow me to introduce you to what I call a case of "Development Hell." For everyone who's ever had a longfill on a kink meme, here's my advice to you; finish it first before promising the OT their fic. This fic has endured Writer's Block and a second playthrough of B/W, but there was one song that inspired me to save it... "The Origin of Love" from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Don't be surprised if you start seeing parallels between the fic and the song. :o

OT wanted fluffy sex between N and Touko, with the latter showing the former what love is. I don't know if OT ever got to read the finished fill, but hopefully, she will. And if she did, I hope it's to your satisfaction, and I thank your kindness and patience which encouraged me to keep going. :)

Also thanks to Sarah for the title suggestion. Yay~ ♥

Who among you have read the infamous My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fanfic, Cupcakes? Which, in spite of my squeamish nature, didn't squick me out nearly as much as I thought it should. Is it because Sweeney Todd is my favorite musical? That I've been watching films like American Psycho and Clockwork Orange? Maybe Cinema Snob has something to do with it. I mean, Cupcakes had a few moments that made me go "ow" but it didn't make me literally sick like "Guts" by Chuck Palahniuk did.

The fact I sound desensitized disturbs me more than Cupcakes itself. D: Needless to say, the fanwork and the reactions are what makes the fic interesting. Sure enough, I had this bunny (more like Killer Rabbit) gnawing on me so I had to give in and write this little crossover. Clearly not my best work (even for Cupcakes!Pinkie Pie, I don't think she's "Pinkie" enough) but it was a good opportunity to throw in horrible puns.

P.S. There really is a pony named Sweetheart, and she's one of the "7 Pony Friends" in a show called "My Little Pony Tales." Here's her photo.
