7 Feb 2013 09:36 amOop, it seems I will be getting x-ray results and a big snowstorm for my birthday!! :D
Also, a buffet dinner on Saturday. And yesterday I got official confirmation that Ubi will be sending me to E3 and TGS this year, all costs covered. I do still need to see if I can schwing some kind of a deal about TGS and go visit a friend in Korea before or after, but I am hopeful that something can be worked out. If nothing else, I'll get her to come guide me through Tokyo, oh my god h e l p I am already terrified about trying to find my way around.
.... so is this some kind of cosmic balancing of the scales? It's actually extremely unnerving to get a lot of good news at once.

Snow White and the Huntsman, Ravenna, 1100 words.
Bathed in blood, all birds are of a feather.
No such thing
Conan the Barbarian (2011), Conan, 11000 words.
A Cimmerian is at peace only when he seeks war.
I guess other stuff happened too, but I seriously don't remember much about it so I can only assume it wasn't very interesting. :')

13 Dec 2012 10:22 amLast night I was pulled off a cliff in a dream by these.... very sneaky merpeople. I think they were trying to take me somewhere underwater but I drowned, so they decided to just go ahead and eat me. Except. The one who had been holding onto me wouldn't let any of the others come close. Eventually it swam off and then sank to the bottom of the sea and just lay there with my body.
I feel so bad??? For dying?!? But I really do. It irritates me that The Girl In The Dream was definitely supposed to be Me even though it wasn't really necessary. Looking back on it consciously, that sort of takes away from the narrative somehow. And I want to know more about the merfolk! They gave me the sense that they were vicious by nature but they were also confused, like there was something wrong or they were lost, and that was provoking weird behaviour in a few of them.

2 Dec 2012 01:56 amWhen I got home for the weekend, my brother insisted that I play through the Metal Gear Rising demo because "the boss is a super-intelligent cybernetic dogcat with a chainsaw tail which I thought was, like, up your alley" and the moral of the story is that my brother is a good guy.
And now I'm excited for the game! It looks gorgeous and plays pretty much like a later Devil May Cry, so I'll probably enjoy running through it at least once. I do get why certain Metal Gear fan factions haaaate it on principle but.... I just feel jaded at this point. I've watched some multi-game series mutate into the final form of fuckuppedness, and I've stared at my most beloved series sitting dead in the water for years, so. Welcome to video games?

15 Nov 2012 11:30 amI saw Dredd on Tuesday, loved it a lot. Went alone because no one was able to accompany me (and, let's be real, I didn't make a huge effort to ask around) but I think I was more comfortable that way. I didn't feel like wearing A Personable Face, though I did get all dressed up to ensure that I would leave a beautiful corpse if the Skyfall crowd trampled me. Fortunately I left while they were still corralled in line-ups! Anyway, Ma-Ma needs to be my girlfriend.

Also, what the hell, two different creepy people called me Khaleesi this weekend and it wasn't cute. There's no possible planet or timeline where it would be cute. Public creepiness needs to stawp.

Dante(/Vergil). PG. 2300 words.
For a prompt atareyougame.
I cannot, for the life of me maintain, a consistent way of posting my shit. RAH.
I'm posting this on my break and it's making me wonder if, ten years ago, I'd have believed that I would be where I am right now, all growed up and poking at the game industry and yet still posting fanfic. Probably not. So suck it, self of ten years past! YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT MEEEEE.

Uploading a music box for my lady blizzardseason. I feel that it should be offered openly, because music is a thing. And also because I wanted to make a note: Ade, there is a song in here that I got from you and it has become Important To Me. You great and terrible mountain sylph. 8[
It's odd, I got up today and felt really.... good??? I hadn't been aware that I wasn't good before, but - by comparison - I gather that.... I was not. It's kind of frightening, actually. To have felt not-good and failed to realize it, and now to still not really know what made it stop. But whateverrrrrr, I guess I just go with it. Good things have been happening in general. I got hired permanently andTHANK FUCK CONTRACT WORK IS OVER NEVER AGAIN I am happy with that. All this E3 bullshit is well and truly done for a year, and ultimately everything I contributed was useful or at least well-received. And I shall be seeing Dani tomorrow. I will see an actual, living person that I like. I will see her with my whole face.
As an aside, Diablo has been super-creeping in my dreams for the last couple of days. Like, I'll be dreaming about whatever, and then someone suddenly splits open and goes LOL I'M ACTUALLY THE LORD OF TERROR and starts chasing me and shit. It's hilarious in retrospect but terrifying at the time. 8[ He is The Lord of Dicks, says I.

| and the angels wouldn't help you |
Faster and faster. At first you didn't feel anything. You burst into flame. And the angels wouldn't help you. They've all gone away. |
Darkness now. Mother weeps in darkness thinking that she is not brave. Shadows cold, Valtiel listens to her moving parts - the throat of her, the eyelashes, the fingers slowly tracking out the wounds of her in the flesh of her - and hears other movements buried deep like gentle music submerged in the thunder of old machines. Mother keeps the godchild cocooned in her blood and her body, sealed up against a long wait finally coming to its end. Human woman, soon to be bathed in the flames of regency. It must be so. Hale and whole shall God emerge from the core of her at the proper time. From the womb of her, the temple of life inverted, shall God emerge. From her blackened bones shall God emerge, if God deems it proper. Valtiel waits, still as she trembles. There is a moment and a purpose. One comes, and God's chosen attendants will serve the other. It is no matter of loving or knowing or believing anything. Valtiel serves when the moment for serving arises, as it does when Mother falls. Weak, the body of her; quick, the blood of her. Dying, as living things will do. Shades fade, harbingers decay, all servants are bid to destroy each other in time. Only the living delivered from Silent Hill possess the great secrets, the blind faith and the courage required to simply die. Wrapped around the godchild, Mother dies in the dark without any words. Something calls out, even so. Voice of God, speaking no command. The weight of all the sacraments presses heavy on Valtiel's shoulders. Mother is a dread creature not to be approached; but the voice calls. The voice calls to Valtiel, who submits to the strongest will, the great flame trapped in a bed of coals, the mouth in the pit, the absence of sky. The Mother of your God needs you. Valtiel does what is needed. Stitched and stranded back on her bones, Mother lives for God again. |

12 Apr 2012 11:32 am....there's braille on my headphones!
I discovered it last night while uselessly trying to feel for a printed "L" or "R" on the ear shell thing. (I....... do not turn lights on after it gets dark outside okay.) And instead of a letter, I felt raised dots and yep! This is really exciting to me, I don't know. ACCESSIBILITY~
Inversely related to not turning on lights, I accidentally watched television straight through Earth Hour. Honestly though? It was Murdoch Mysteries. I have no regrets.
NNNNjkdfnsf, I had this hideous dream last night and now I can't brain. It had something to do with this wounded animal. I took it in and started caring for it. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be burned, but it just looked hairless? Anyway I somehow ended up COOKING AND EATING HALF OF IT BEFORE I REALIZED WHAT I HAD DONE?????? Only through dream logic could I be dumb enough to accomplish this, and then intelligent enough to figure it out afterward. In retrospect, though, the narrative was pretty fragmented. It's like my body was doing things and I was observing it in staggered windows and could only piece stuff together later. So...... now I'm totally heartbroken because I had fully intended to save this creature but instead unwittingly killed it.
At least it was delicious. :c

24 Feb 2012 03:09 pmI just thought of a way to distract myself from being such a jerk. I've seen the 12 word challenge going around tumblr, and. I like it!
Prompt me with a fandom, pairing, character, concept or whatever. I'll present you with the cutest 12 word story I can forge in black mouthfoam and smoking embers~
As usual, I'll write for anyting-anytang and am too lazy to list my own current fixations, haaaa.

22 Feb 2012 09:10 amUhhhhhh, you know what, I think Megatron was my first actual role model. Inspired me to think and express myself as deviously as possible and also get used to the occasional utter failure. The things you realize while procrastinating in the morning........
