Why can I never think of a good title?

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 >:[

I've already finished the entry for the next contest. :D It still needs editing but apart from that everything's fine. Mostly.

I'm already thinking about the special contest; the Mary Sue/ Gary Stu one. I think I do want to write some kind of parody. I mean, most of the time the Mary Sues are ridiculous and cause ridiculous events. And it would be great to write a completely weird, obnoxious and self-centered Mary Sue who meets canon characters. CANON characters who, you know, act like they do in the game. And not praise and kiss the ground the Mary Sue is walking on. Buuuuuuuut. I am not completely in the mood to write something like that. Secondly, I probably would choose the Tactician-thingie and would have to play FE7 again although I just downloaded Yggdra Union 2 and only want to play that. And thirdly, I absolutely can not write weird, obnoxious and self-centered characters. I already have problems with rather weird characters as L'Arachel and Serra (and I am not saying that they're Mary Sues. They're just.... strenuous to write). Then how can I write such a Mary Sue? I think I could manage a Anti-Sue but that would not fit the idea and is boooooring. Fortunately, I still have plenty of time. :D

And before I forget it; the Lyon one-shot is almost finished. There are still some difficulties with the wording and stuff (I can no longer write in English properly DD: ) Maybe someone can help me with this sentence:

Does "But he would not go before he heard his promise." really mean that he will wait until he [Lyon] said his promise? Because it confuses meeee D: . In German you could use two variants to express this and it confuses me. (And is the tense right? God, the more I look at it, the more insecure I get.)

Hello there!

First entry here! I am still new to this so I'm excited to see what will happen here. Since this IS the first entry, I will babble a bit about me.

1. I lurve Fire Emblem. It's one of the best games ever. Play it. Now. There are several pairings and stuff that I like, love and defend but since I lost track of the list, I won't name them. You'll discover them eventually.

2. I love Hetalia. It's such a funny and cute and awesome (not only because of Prussia) and so much more. Strangely the Germans are my favourites. I would have never expected it. I'm not really patriotic.... But I love Grandpa Rome and Italy and England as well.

3. .... Urrr, there is probably more but... !! Oh, I started playing Pokémon again. And I'm naming them after Hetalia or Fire Emblem characters. It's terribly funny. And Ephraim and Tana have two babies!!

Also on another note. Since I am German, I may write entries in both languages. And since I'm writing fanfiction, I may post it here. If I get how to do it.
