Alle Kunst ist der Freude gewidmet

So, Juri is Valtome. I'm debating with myself if I should call her Valtome (because look at that hair colour) or Juri, but Juri is also Bastian´s name in the German version of PoR/RD and she's definitely not awesome enough to carry one of Bastian´s names. Maybe I'll go with Lockenkopf for now.

Hmmmm, Juri seems to be kinda evil. Valtome it is, then.

The knife throwing scene was fun XD Oh, Epharth and Zelos XD What they talked about was boring though.

Started to read about Grammar theories halfway through the episode. Juri´s story was boring. Hopefully the next episode will be better.

Nanami 8D Planning something evil~ Will there finally be fun again?

The evil dudes plan ruined by a cup of curry, rofl. Damn straight. They're not really smart villains. AND WAKABA, COULD YOU PLEASE GO AWAY. Now that they've swapped their bodies, is Utena the bride now? Or is Anthy still the bride even though she has Utena´s body? QUESTIONS EVERYWHERE.

Rofl, Miki is cute. Also, I miss Valter.

Ah, the stupidity of antagonists. You will never cease to annoy me.

Squeed at Valter! Rofl, Valter, stop looking like a rapist. Though it may or may not fit with your character. BUT EXCHANGE DIARY, SO AWESOME.

"Dear diary,

I killed many people today again. So I had much fun. Met an interesting girl today. I think I want to cut her open; her blood surely has a beautiful colour. But there was some dude who protected her. I poked him with my lance, but he survived. I was a bit annoyed but I liked his hair colour. It looked like dried blood so I forgive him. Also, I want to spill his blood and see if his dried blood really looks like his hair. I'm excited.

Valter"

Rofl, Valter, your other diary is kinda cute as well XD Also, the India-Elephant thing is really stupid. Could they please stop with that? It only manages to make me annoyed at you writers. (Valter/Anthy, ffffffffff)

Nuh ;A; Now you broke Valter´s heart. Bad Utena. Also, Nanami with tan looks good. And the suddenly appearing elephant was incredibly stupid as well. What kind of writers did this series have?

I can haz a pet Valter as well? (But apart from that the episode was pretty disappointing. The Nanami story was just ugh.) If the next episode doesn't get better, then that's it for today.

Moar Valter is always good. A Valter-Zelos friendship sounds terrifying. (Especially since Valter would not like Zelos, though he would like the fact that he can easily get victims if he wants some blood).

OMG, YOUNG!VALTER. So cute~ :3

Zelos... what's up with your chin? You could kill someone with it, so pointy it is. ALSO, young!Valter is so cute I don't even. Fangirling like mad. Also, Valter in shorts, fffffffffffffff.

Saionji and the two girls making the intermissions might be my favourite characters for now. Also, he still acts very valteresque. I like that 8D Why can't Saionji be the main character?

I've decided now that I don't like Zelos. Also, I want Valter as main character. He's fun. The rivalry thing he has with Zelos is interesting. The feeling of being always the second, of never being able to surpass your "role model"... 8D So interesting~

WHATWAHTWHAT, VALTER IS EXPELLED? D8< Now I'm pissed. Kay, that's it for today. Now I'm too sulky to continue watching.

Nnnn, Tales of Fantasia, I love you~ Fuck Final Fantasy, it's boring. ToF, yay~ I like Cress and Mint and Claus. 8D And Amber, but I haven't met her yet, too bad. Also, I just noticed that I shipped Claus/Milard back when I first played it and now I may also tentatively ship Cress/Mint because of the cuteness. And Nancy/Elwin 8D So awesome~ I love to meet their children later XD I'm normally not such a matchmaker but I try to bring them together every time. Nn, I want fanart of them. No fic yet, but I shall look for it later. Also, I kinda want to search for Terranigma fic. Terranigma is awesome and I should play that one again as well.

Dracula is mean. After dying maybe twenty times I'm fed up (hence why I play ToF 8D) And Silent Hill 2 is not here yet. I am disappoint, Amazon.

Sylph was always my favourite elemental spirit, in ToF and ToS. They're cute~ And Celsius.

Also, I love the game design of those old games. Secret of Mana, Terranigma, Lufia 2, ToF. I love their design more than, say, FE 10, FF 10 and 12 or any other new game. (That's partly the reason why I like the design of FE 6,7 and 8 much more then 9/10) Call me nostalgic, but I want those designs back.

Nnnnnnnnnnnnn, Uni starts again on Monday D8 My free time is ovvvvvvvvvver. Though it looks like Thursday will be completely free and most of my courses are in the afternoon. And I'm going to two history lectures 8D (which I do not have to take and which are the only two morning courses). And I want to make a Swedish course. Yay~

I hate Sandman and Neil Gaiman. And Alan Moore writes boring stuff. That's why my brain wanders. And today it made me think about reviews.

This incoherent rambling is not directed at anybody nor is it triggered by someone on my flist. If I would have to name a source of my thoughts, it would be the German ff.de.

So I was thinking about my attitude to reviews and the attitude of other people. And I noticed that yes, I get very few reviews. Especially since I seem to write mostly about minor characters that few people care about (Brokings). I don't think I have a big audience or people interested in what I write. Which is fine for me. There is also always the fact that people might be turned off by my English, but I have to admit that this thought doesn't cross my mind often (Yep, I'm either that confident or that uncaring).

And I don't particular care. I don't really care if a story doesn't get any reviews (like Rose and That dear child on ff.net). I do love every review I get, of course, but getting no reviews doesn't gnaw on my confidence. Now I was contemplating where this sentiment comes from, especially when I read about people being sad or annoyed that nobody comments. And sometimes I don't understand them. Yes, comments are love, but I don't need them.

Part of that I contribute to my personality. In real life I don't care that much about what other people think about me or about what I do (there are always exceptions) as well. So I care even less about the opinion of anonymous internet people.

Then again, I come from a tiny, tiny fandom. And yes, that fandom is Fire Emblem. Let me explain: I've started writing fanfiction in German. And there are whooping 62 Fire Emblem stories on ff.de. There were, I believe, less than 30 when I started. I am used to getting almost no reviews, because that is normal when almost two third of those stories (62) are written by me. There are maybe two or three active writers (I am excluding myself, because I haven't written anyhting in German for months). So I am reverse-spoilt. I'm used to getting no reviews.

I don't know if the people complaining about getting no reviews are used to get many or if they just complaining because. I don't really get it.

Anyway. I'll continue writing minor characters and family and sibling stories and gen and romance nobody cares about. Deal with it. <3

I was thinking if I could join the "fic for charity" thing. But then I remembered that I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT write for prompts. Give me a prompt and the chance that I will be unable to write it is 75%. I don't know why that is but whenever I get a prompt (especially a detailed prompt), I don't get any ideas. Or one very quick, but bad idea at the beginning, which I cannot write because it's bad. That's why I always have to switch to art then. My art muse is not as moody as my writing muse. Go figure. And I don't think anyone would be interested in my art anyway. Hm.


Also, thong!Valter in high heels will happen.

"Melancholie" by In Extremo. It's so incredibly pretty and sad ;.; I listened to it while writing my Geoffrey/Elincia-old-people-Elincia-is-dead piece (which is still not exactly finished because it's a bitch to edit. I was so caught up in my feelings that my writing suffered) and it made me tear up.

Also, I was going through some of my lecture notes because I have to write an essay-thingie and I was reminded that I've wanted to read Thackeray´s "Vanity Fair" weeks ago. I have to buy that. I'm also contemplating if I should get Dickens "Our Mutual Friend". It sounds interesting. And there is one book that I may want to read but there are two things that prevent me from doing that:

1. It's freaking long.

2. It's called "The Moonstone". The MOONSTONE. I don't want Valter D8
