Homg, I finally handed in my paper. I'm free again 8D No more mental stress. It's probably not my best paper, but I fucking wrote that in five days, in English and damn it, it was taxing. I can happily forget it now 8D

There are two short essay thingies that I still have to write (and that rather quickly), but damn, not today 8D

Now, I'm gonna buy Silent Hill 2 and a In Extremo ticket. I want a band shirt and to see them live. They're awesome.

Oh, and I want to update my lover's challenge collection. Yay~ And draw [livejournal.com profile] xirysa 's birthday pic.

Also, I totally need a confused icon. But I'm not sure if I want Hayden or Viggy. I can never have enough Hayden icons, but I already have three and only one Viggy icon. Hm, tough decision... (and I need a good confused expression.)

I've got an extension for my paper 8D I love my teacher~ Still! Working like a boss! Before and after the game evening at my friend´s house today. Yay~

Edit:  Prettiness~

scarletmorning: (Valter cs wat u did thar)
Reading about typical features in Gothic novels makes me want to write a "Person X finds cursed object and bad things happen" story myself. I do like to write ghost stories (without me noticing it I've already written, like, four or something), though that doesn't mean that I particular like reading them (or watching ghost movies. No, all ghost movies I know I do hate.). Hamlet was nifty and Macbeth had awesome ghosts as well (Sorry, I can't think of any other books with ghosts in them now XD).

That and the "Delusional Girl meets Vampire who acts like a Twilight-woobie and noms her in the end while she thinks she's going to be a vampire to but in reality she dies and may or may not become a ghoul" story that still lives in the back of my head. I probably won't write them though... I don't really have the drive to write original fiction.

Or better yet, a story about a succubus/incubus (I forgot which one targets females) who appears in the girl´s dreams and then steps out of her daydreams and embodies the vampire. She thinks he is a real one and gets obsessed with him. He makes her sever all ties with other humans because that makes her soul tastier. And in the end when she thinks he's gonna make her his vampire bride, but he's just nomming her soul. 8D God, that would a blast to write.

Also, my brain decides that Vampire = German, Cursed Object = English. It surprises me, because it's the first time in months that my brain tells me that a story can only be written in German. Huh.

Appropriate icon for scary Gothic things?
scarletmorning: (Kyle and Lute are studying)
[Error: unknown template qotd]

This. It gets me everytime 8D

Also, I hate Gothic literature. I hatehatehatehate it. I don't want to read about it. I don't want to write a paper that somehow is connected to Gothic literature. Why is secondary literature about literary themes so boring? I love reading about linguistics or history. Why must literary studies suck so much? >[
scarletmorning: (Kent; You did what?)
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

I've just got an email from Kent~ (Not the FE Kent, you sillys~) Now I will leafe through the courses~ Iiiiiiih, autumn = Kent time~

(Kent icon, you are not entirely appropriated >:>)

Also, since I just remembered it: does anyone of you know a good horror/Gothic comic? One that has a good horrific atmosphere. With maybe interesting panel montage and characters that make you shiver? It's all for a paper and I have to resort to Sandman, or worse to Black Hole if I don't come up with something better. I want to look at From Hell if I find it in time... I want to write something about evoking emotions with certain techniques and the use of stereotypes (probably), but both Sandman and Black Hole only bored me and weren't really... what I would call a Gothic/horror comic. And how can I write about emotions being evoked if I felt nothing myself?
scarletmorning: (Kent; You did what?)
Dear Vigarde,

I don't know why I love to hurt, torture and do a lot of other bad things to you. Something about you Grads makes me want to do evil things to you. I'm sorry. You probably just look like you angst much. And I apologize that my timeline made it even worse. I promise that I try to write some happy and cute father&son interaction in the future. And I plan to write sad Fado/Catalina in the future as well. Maybe that makes you feel better. And don't think I enjoy doing bad things to you; I just teared up while writing this particular story that prompted this apology. Writing unhappy stuff makes me unhappy as well. That's why I prefer to write happy stuff. Writing happy stuff makes me happy as well.

With love,
me

Dear brain,

please stop thinking about Fire Emblem the whole time. I have to study and research and I can't concentrate because you always wander off to frolic in Fire Emblem land. And stop making my headcanon bigger and bigger.
I love you, really. But study time =/= headcanon tiemz! Seriously.

With less love than above,
me
scarletmorning: (Hayden is so pretty)
What the flying ---! Why... I have a 1.0 (an A) in Writing. What the... I- I actually never thought that was possible. I mean, I thought the exam was okay, but a 1.0? Oh- oh gawd. I'm honestly overwhelmed.

Okay, surprise is slightly worn off. You may call me now names for making such a fuss over a good grade.

So, maybe something productive as well so that this post is not completely pointless.... Uhm, Hayden+Tana fluff is cute? Also, my piece for the [livejournal.com profile] fe_contest  sucks.
I already hace two versions and I hate both. Grr, why so stubborn, Joshua and Ismaire?
scarletmorning: (Fado is writing fanfiction)
Okay, third exam was good. One more to go.

On a happy note: I wrote fic 8D It was finally time to write something again. It's cutesy, of course. I'm in a cutesy mood so there. Yay~ The prompts from the Lover´s challenge are really inspiring. After the last exam I can finally start to write more (at least when I don't write/research for my paper).

Notes on what I want to write in the future (because I know I will forget them if I don't write 'em down):

- Ismaire and Carlyle, probably tragic and depressing
- Fadia/Vigarde stuff (You know, if you change two letters of her name you have Vaida)
- bro king stuff (including the crack revelation that has a strange ending)
- cutesy Geoffrey/Elincia
- the Lyona prompt from the kink meme
- the [livejournal.com profile] fe_contest  prompt which shall be filled with Ismaire. Probably.
- moar bro kings in general
- I still want to do something with Harken because he is interesting (But FE7 is totally not my playground DX)
- Something with Mansel and L'Arachel because I love their interactions
scarletmorning: (Lyon haz papercut)
You know, today is the first time ever that I wish that I failed this exam. It was horrible. I had no idea what I was writing, there is no coherence and I have no point. I really wish that I don't pass this exam. That way I could take another course next semester and no bad grade taints my end note (Introduction to Middle High German doesn't count because that grades doesn't matter to my final grade). I hate this course.

Now to nicer things; my headcanon regarding Fadia and Vigarde grows very nicely. They are already occupying prompts on my Lover's challenge table. At least that's a positive thing.

Also, I thought about random things concerning the brokings:

- AU!Fado loves cheesy horror comics and stories, also cheesy romance and fantasy novels (Partially because he really likes cheesy stuff and partially because overly cheesy things amuse him).
- In-game Fado still likes romance stories and occasionaly fairy tales

- AU!Hayden likes sci-fi, fantasy and sometimes romance stories as well as tragic stories. He also likes non-fictional books about history, psychology and politics.
- In-game Hayden likes manuals (i.e. non-fictional books) and fairy tales (he developed a liking after starting to read/ tell them to his children)

- AU!Vigarde loves adventure novels, likes fantasy and occasionally sci-fi. He is not fond of pure romance novels. He also occasionally reads thrillers. He hates newspapers because he doesn't like the style their written in but he still reads them every day.
- In-game Vigarde doesn't read often but if he does it's pretty diverse. His favourites are manuals on warfare and related topics.

Alright, random facts time is over. Let's hope that I fail the exam.

Edit: If I were in Detective Conan fandom, I would be a hardcore Takagi/Sato shipper. Takagi is probably the most adorkable character I've ever seen and his crush on Sato is just too cute. And if I remember correctly she liked him back <3 (One-sided is still cute.)
scarletmorning: (Geoffrey shirt off)
Hn, finally signed up for the [livejournal.com profile] lover100  challenge. I have Table A. The first time that I really signed up for a challenge on lj 8D (I just snagged the general 100 challenge and the ficlet prompts with joining the communities~). Oh my.

Other than that, I'm totally not in a writing mood. (That's why the broking crack went into a strange direction. Brofist, plz).

Anyway. The exam tomorrow will suck. I know it. I still don't really know what I learnt in that course and what I should write. Grunz.

Edit: You know, it makes me ridiculously happy that I am known/ associated with a pairing and/or characters 8D It makes me kinda feel proud and accomplished. Or something. (And then it's the brokings and Bastian/Lucia. Oh yeah~)
scarletmorning: (Vigarde)
So, I was at the Erasmus meeting today :/ I just heard that I will not go this semester (the summer semester in April) but next (the winter semester in Sept/Oct). I was surprised by that because I honestly believed I would go in the summer. Not entirely sure how I should feel about this. I mean, I already planned things. OTOH, it may also be good since I can do some more courses here :/ But then there is the question if I even have the opportunity to do courses in England that I can use here (I'm already in third semester in English and fifth in German :/). And I don't want to take a Hauptseminar in German yet, because it would probably be a linguistic seminar, which would be bad since that is my major (I'm not entirely sure if that's the correct term here) and I have to write my final paper about this topic. But since I only can write it after I've taken all my courses, there would be the year in England and maybe even one additional semester in Germany between "taking the course" and "writing the paper". Which is obviously too long.

I don't know. I have to think about that. After my exams. Speaking of which: at the moment I'm in the "Oh shit, I'm so not going to pass this shit" phase. I hope it will go over soon.

Also, I will probably be at the campus in Canterbury.

Now I'm gonna conclude this with something happier: I have aquired possibly brainbreaking knowledge. But since I decided to be not quite so evil anymore, I'm not gonna say it yet. It concerns Lucius. If a certain person not want to hear it, I'll keep it to myself :p
scarletmorning: (Default)
We got a really random package today. Nazi propaganda. Seems like there is a group who randomly sends out these things and hopes that some people believe the shit they write. Oh lawd. To be honest? That was the most hilarious read I've had for weeks. Just apply logic and common sense to propaganda and it falls apart. The reasoning and excusing of criminals was so bad and illogical that I had to laugh while reading. Truly hilarious. (It's not so funny that they're sending this shit around though)

On a different note:
I have exams on Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Saturday will probably be okay, Monday is ohgodwhatisthisidon'tknow, Tuesday will probably kinda good and Thursday is, uhm, probably okay as well? A fun week. At least then the semester is overrrrrr. Two essays and one Hausarbeit for the free time, yay -.-

BUT!

The Erasmus meeting is tomorrow and I will finally learn more about the University of Kent :D 9 months in England~ (Am still not scared of it, I r confused)
scarletmorning: (Geoffrey Derp Grinsen)
Man, I'm sprouting drabbles like whoa. I don't know why because I don't even particular like to write drabbles D: I r confuzed. (But they haz brokings~)

Anyway, this weekend will be a comic and study weekend. Mostly because I need to get the brokings out of my head (I already drew the first four-panel comic~ <3). There will be exams (I hate oral exams) in two weeks. And then the semester is over D: And then there will be England and Kent and other scary things.

But! Brokings. Yeah, some time during the weekend I will come and spam you with broking comics. You will not be prepared and you will cower in fear for three days, because you don't know when they come >:D
scarletmorning: (Geoffrey Derp Grinsen)

I'M GOING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF KENT NEXT SEMESTER! WOOT!

Dammit, I don't have any Kent-icons...
scarletmorning: (Default)
GAAAHH!

I finally did it. I applied for ERASMUS. One year in Britain next semester. Maybe. If I get a place. Applied for Bristol. Seemed nice. Not sure how I should feel. On the one hand it's pretty exciting. On the other hand, PANIC! One whole year in an other country. Alone. Without my family. At the moment I'm kinda calm. Shock probably has to sink in first. And nothing is sure yet.

Still.

GAAAHH!

D: :D D: :D D: :D D:
scarletmorning: (Ich; Empyt Head)
I'm torn. On one hand my seminar about comics is interesting in a way. But on the other hand I have an inexplicable hate for it. I honestly don't know what that means. Maybe the fact that I have to hold a presentation tomorrow annoys me (though I start to accept the topic and no longer despise it). I think I will wait another 2 weeks. If I still hate it then, I'll probably abandon it.

But now something more positive (or not): There are two plot bunnies in my head. They don't want to leave me alone.

- First plot bunny is a genderswitch 'fic. I don't know why but I seriously love genderswitch. If it's done right, it can be interesting and funny. And the FE section has no genderswitch stories :( This plot bunny stays in the FE world and it mainly contains a Fem!Geoffrey and the problems he has with suddenly being a girl. And his problem is not only his crush on Elincia. Buuuuuut I don't know if I ever write that. It looks funny in my head though.

- Second plot bunny contains genderswitch as well. (Yeah, I have a phase again) But it is also a Modern AU and to be honest ... It reminds me of Law & Order. I like that series (and Criminal Intent. Goren is awesome <3), but writing a fic like that ...? But it sounds interesting as well. And the Modern FE world is growing and becomes more detailed in my head already... Also, there will be FE 8 and FE 9/10 characters ;p Can't put Fem!Geoffrey in an AU without her best friend Fem!Seth.

Also; because of those plot bunnies, I seriously started to think about names for the genderswitched people. I like them, because while they are a bit different, it shouldn't be too hard to identify who's who. Thoughts?

Joanne - Geoffrey
Sofia - Seth
Eli - Elincia
Eric - Eirika
Beatrix - Bastian
Lucien - Lucia
Eve/Evie - Ephraim
Kiki (short for Karin) - Kieran
Christine - Kyle
Franziska - Franz (that one is easy :P)
Florentina - Forde
scarletmorning: (Gatze :D)
Alrighty, fe-contest is over. Time to do something different. I'm still working on my Gary Stu entry, but it's not easy. FE 7 is not something that I write often, but I liked my idea, so I have to study supports and the game script. Buuuut since that is boring, I decided to also write something else.

I decided to write Genie!Kent and Genie!Sain. We all know where the idea comes from *stares at [livejournal.com profile] sacae * ANYWAY, it sounded funny and I want to write happy things again. At least I try. And that has to be funny, right? Even if it's only the thought of those two as genies...
Well, but now I need your help. I don't know the series, I don't even know its name anymore. Something like "The wonderful Jeanny" or something. I don't know. If you get which series I'm talking about, you're awesome. So, now. What I need to know is how the magic in the series worked (how and what kind of gestures, that stuff) and maybe the rough structure of an episode. Like "Problem arises, wish gets fulfilled, wish makes everything worse, and so on". Also, I won't solely use this show. I will combine different genie stories and take the elements that I like. So if you know some more stories about genies, tell me.
Even though it will probably be crap anyway....

Now for something completely different:
I almost finished my term paper (Yay for speed. Or not.). And it's still logical 8D I already feared that I would think "OMG, what's that crap? Did I really write that?", but it's still good. Yay~

scarletmorning: (Default)
So, you already know that I'm writing a term paper. I've never told you my topic, have I? Anyways, it's about the ruler-ideal (excuse that expression, I can't think of a better one now) of the era of the Hohenstaufen Dynasty and the representation of that ideal in the Middle High German Arthurian novel "Erec" by Hartmann von Aue and the representation on the Krakauer Kronenkreuz (a crown nailed on a cross, more or less). So naturally, I have to read a lot about epic poetry (which is truly epic XD), thoughts about the ideal ruler from that time and other stuff. Now, I've encountered something.... strange.

Cut for.... I dunno, strangeness )
scarletmorning: (Makalov)
My head feels like it's going to burst every second. 6 hours in the library. I must be mad. I really love researching and learning, but sometimes it's really hard. I mean, my topic is awesome and I fear that I will write more than 12 pages without trying but geez! My strange headache is back. It feels like something is pushing from the inside against my right eyeball. And the chairs in the library suck. I can't sit on them four hours straight without getting a backache. I really need a vacation. Luckily me and my family are going to Scotland for two weeks in the very near future (in 4 days). That will be awesome. OTOH, I've wanted to finish my term paper before we go. I won't be able to manage that unfortunately. Sucks, but whatev.
scarletmorning: (shrubberies)

I'm researching for my term paper for my Middle High German proseminar. I think I'm even making some progress. Awesome~ Though reading literature for it makes me tiiiired =3= More than it should.

Also, I've noticed something quite amusing (at least for me). I do have a dialect. For years I thought that I didn't have one (which was stupid in retrospect) but lately I notice more and more that I have one. It's funny. Though I only notice a few words. I mean, if you try to listen closely to your own speech, you automatically speak differently. So it's rather hard to notice things like that. But, as I said, it amuses me. (Yes, strange things amuse me.)

I also finally finished my pic for the Fire Emblem anniversary event on deviantArt. Took me ages. But I quite like it. Geoffrey and Bastian are awesome~


And there is one small vocab question again =3= So if someone could help me...

"I was terrified when I saw you falling in the water and not rising up again."


Would you use "rise up" in that context? (There's a flashback how Franz nearly drowned in a creek. And Forde makes this little comment above directly afterwards.) Or "re-surface"? Or anything else? I already consulted my dictionary and my Collocations dictionary. They refuse to help me >:[
