Alle Kunst ist der Freude gewidmet

Puh, I haven't been around much lately. Things were a bit stressfull, with that 20 page term paper breathing down my neck. Otherwise I managed well on my own those three weeks my family was in Canada. Jiji was with me so things were okay 8D

Now I finally can relax a bit and I do no longer hate everything. Yay~ 8D Now there's only this one project left, but I really like this one so it's not so bad.

Hm, need to write more again, but my muses are kinda gone at the moment. They're probably on vacation as well.

Oh well~

My brain seems to have shut off and tunes everything out ever since I've started playing Etrian Odyssey. Y u doin this to me, brain? ;A; But Etrian Odyssey is so fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun. I hate you. (Also played through HeartGold and started Ruby. I hate you as well.)

More hate for my lecture on literature of realism. I just. Why do I have such an aversion to modern (relatively) literature? B:<



Gargl.

You know what is even worse than a normal presentation?

A surprise presentation.

Maybe you remember a few posts ago I talked about being sick and not being able to hold a certain presentation? I emailed the teacher and he said "Okay, I'll do your stuff". However, now, a few minutes before the lecture starts I hear "Oh, hey, we haven't even reached your part yet. You'll hold it today :D" And I'm like "WAIT D8 But I don't have my material with me!!1!" Well, it ended with me taking hastily notes while another presentor finished their chapters. And then I, just with my notes and without my pretty powerpoint presentation, have to face the class without a clear plan and a bit rambling. Oh joy (thankfully it was not that bad contentwise since my topic was quite easy)

HOWEVER. The really bad part about this?

Normal presentation = my English becomes bad (granted, my German tends to get a bit bad during presentations as well, mostly as in me forgetting very basic words)
Surprise presentation = my English gets doubly bad 

Really, apart from that it was almost okay. But the funny part? My presentation is not finished yet. However, in two weeks (next week is free) there is the last ERASMUS meeting before going abroad, which takes place at the same time as my lecture. And I really, really want and need to go to that meeting. It's so bad it's hilarious ;A; (Only ray of hope; I have a co-presentor so I can ask her to finish my part)

BUT. Now enough depressive things. Let's distract ourselves with bros.

I still have no title for the 10_orders collection. "21th Century Boys" popped in my head earlier, though there are two problems about that; there will also canon pieces in the collection (ruling 21th century out) and the bros will not always be boys. And I haven't found another good title yet.

Therefore I'm tempted to just call this whole thing "In Which The Bros Are Doing Brotastic Stuff But Sometimes They Aren't Bros But Have Boobies Instead Of Dingdongs". Unfortunately that title is a bit long. Shucks.

Oh, and on an almost unrelated note:

Hayden going blind when about 60 = headcanon, oh yes
Innes going blind = headcanon, hell yes! (Yes, I do find it hilarious to make archers (who are, in Innes´ case, openly proud about their archerness) go blind. I'm a bad person)

So, finished my prompts for the little meme back then. Which you can find at dreamwidth and somewhere on ff.net (too lazy to look there). (You can still give me more prompts if you want. Here or at the other post.)

Then I've updated my bro and Mansel (and theoretically Izzy) characterization drabbles; here the "I hate you" fill for Mansel and then the "When are you coming home?" fills for the bros and their wives and Mansel and L'Arachel. 8D I love the bro wives <3

Apart from that; my neck hurts. It's kinda stiff and the muscles protest against something. And it's not like anything happened that could've prompt this. :/ Just, I woke up yesterday and it hurt. Maybe it's a result of the nightmare from yesterday (I was almost dying all the time again. And the second part was not that much better >:I ) Or I've started to grit my teeth while sleeping again. Nnnnnnnnnnn, do not want.

Alright, back to business. Preparing a presentation, that is. You know how much fun that one is.


EDIT:

WHAT IS THIS? TALES OF ABYSS WILL BE RELEASED ON 3DS IN SOMETIME. WOOT! THIS YEAR IT SEEMS. YAY 8D

I have a plot XD God, I really have a plot (no end yet, but hey, it's still more than I thought I would ever have) More on ships later. And a bit about the pirates, probably.

For now... I hate modern literature DX God, I hope the seminar becomes more interesting soon or I have a problem. Uni makes me hate literature. Or at least literature that I formerly only disliked. Mostly because I HAVE to take a course about modern literature. I hates yous.

OMG >< I really wrote almost four pages for my paper. I'm so proud~ And that is more than I managed for my last topic. Yes, I changed my topic four days before I have to hand that thing in >< God, I am so smart /sarcasm Well, but I did manage to write for it far more than the other one... Oi, I'm not completely out of the woods yet.

BUT.

Characterization post about Viggy and Lyon later. I finally remembered what I wanted to say about them 8D But first food, then derping~

ALSO, Thira, why did I not know that we have a hot, passionate affair? 8D I am unbelievably amused by that XDDDD

SELF, START WRITING THAT FUCKING PAPER.

Here, let me hypnotise you with this .gif:

So, I completely forgot to post my happy Knoll fic on ff.net, which I did now XD. And here's also a link to the new chapter of my lover's challenge, which contains sexy times (Geoffrey/Elincia sexy tiems). I've wanted to post it, but I forgot. So no surprises here XD

Now, let's go back to my paper and work like a BOSS. And then Daddy Vigarde.

Oh, almost forgot another thing. Yesterday, shortly before falling a sleep, I had a fic idea. Unfortunately I already forgot half of it. But it was about Fado and Vigarde and their last fight in Renais Castle. With Fado being awesome and Viggy being all zombie-like. And halfDK- Lyon being clingy and dependent. Fun tiems.

EDIT: WHAT IS THIS? WHY CAN "VANITY" MEAN WASHSTAND IN AMERICA? I... I am so tempted to use this meaning and fuck everyone over. Just for the lulz. PS: Oxford Dictionary says it's a "dressing table" in North America. WTF?
