uhhhhh wow

2 min read
should probably be posting this as a status like the cool kids do but I also kind of wanted to bump the last journal entry (from 2014 holy crap) off my page without deleting the whole widget :I wait I guess you need a paid membership to do a status? well then nvm

So, um.  Hi?

Dunno if I'll exist here more than I have been recently, but I have a collab thing going with ember-reed at JerinHaus and also we have an website (thank you KatimusPrime!!!!!) and also my old website has moved

And it definitely took me like 15 minutes just now to figure out how to move shit around my gallery.  I don't really wanna storage most of it but there was an attempt to tidy up so it's not showing crap from my 2006 emo phase first or whatever.  Noes! 

sdkjfhaslfd the noes emoticon is still here do people even use those things I'm so out of it

I'd just put an emoji but I'm on desktop

halp

anyway so how is everyone

About Me:
  • I has a freelance job now, and I work at home.  It's great if you have massive anxiety about social situations, but not so lucrative if you have a half-assed work ethic and need a lot of money.  Still preferable to every other job I've ever had, though.
  • I have a half-assed work ethic.  I think I was supposed to be a cat.  *takes a nap on the floor*
  • If I were a cat, I'd be allergic to myself.
  • I really, really, really, really, really hate driving.
  • I love gardening but I'm really not that good at it.

Questions:


Q. Do you have strong feelings about Sailor Moon: Crystal?  Or even Sailor Moon in general?  If not, talk about an anime or manga you really like.

Oh mans, I actually haven't watched any of the new Sailor Moon yet, but I've seen gifs of it on tumblr??  I actually like the art style (aside from the animation errors people have pointed out, but that happens in like everything anyway).  I liked the original Sailor Moon, also.  Maybe not quite as much as DBZ, but I used to watch them both around the same time.

Q. If a new addition to a long-standing series were to come out and crap on your favorite character or storyline, would you give up fannination of the series as a whole, or just attempt to pan that subsection?

I'd probably try to ignore the new canon as much as possible or branch off into an AU where it didn't happen.  With FFVII, I think I stopped paying attention around the time Advent Children came out.  Mostly, though, I seem to get attached to characters who get written under the rug midway through the story because lol nobody cared about them anyway, so it's not so much that they get crapped on as maybe shoved into the corner out of neglect.  Xenosaga kind of did that to my favorite character in the third installment--like, he wasn't completely ignored but they did kind of wrap up his issues anticlimactically and give him a TRAGIC BACK STORY!!! that was only available on mobile in Japan.  I tried to cope with my unresolved feels by horfing out a massive shitty post-canon fanfuck that addressed a bunch of things the last game didn't have time for, but it was super unoriginal and I am super ashamed of it. :E

Q. What are your favorite colors?  Do they make their way into your art a lot, consciously or subconsciously?

I like green and orange, and they actually kind of made their way into my life subconsciously.  (I kept dreaming about them for years and finally noticed it when I started writing down my dreams.  Before that, my favorite color was, like ... grey.)  I use them a lot in design, like for web pages and blog layouts and stuff, which is probably a bad thing because they will literally scorch your eyes out through the back of your head if you stare at them too long.  Sometimes they get into my drawings too, depending on the subject.

Q. What is your take on the original four elements of antiquity (earth, air, fire, water)?  Is it outdated?  Has it just transformed?  Have I been playing too much Final Fantasy and watching too much AtLA?

I kind of like it as an archetypal thing, even if it doesn't have much of a basis in modern science.  It makes sense in a fantasy setting, although I guess it would be interesting to have a fantasy world with magic powers based on the periodic table.  Chinese traditional elements are also pretty cool.

Q. Which is preferable?  Spending a lot of money on a house you have to take care of yourself even though you might not have the capacity to do so, or spending a lot of money on an apartment that's kept in okay condition by others?


I think it depends what feels most comfortable to you personally.  I'd like to have a house someday, but I'm OK with the arrangement we have now (apartment in my in-laws' house).

blerp I can't ever think of questions for these but I'm not really tagging anyone anyway herf blerf

I stole a meme from Roselias.

1. Pick one of your OCs.
2. Fill in the questions/statements as if you were your OCs.
3. Tag 4 people to do this meme.
4. Tell people that they have been tagged with a link from your journal.


I'mma do my horrible Mary Sue Laurel because she insisted, so please just disregard everything below this line.


1. What is your name?
Uh, Laurel Ironhorn.

2. Do you know why you are named that?
Ironhorn was my dad's last name, apparently.  I think it has something to do with blacksmithing, but I wouldn't know.  Never met the guy.

3. Are you single or taken?
Why, who's asking?

4. Any abilities or powers?
I have a big sword that I hit people with until they die.

5. Stop being a Mary-Sue!
We're all Sues here, buddy.  Erin can't write a well-balanced character for shits or giggles.

6. What's your eye color?
Greyish.

7. How about your hair color?
Yellowish.

8. Do you have any family members?
You mean besides my mom?  My friend Sage has been like a brother since we were kids, so maybe, yeah.

9. Oh? How about pets?
Nah.

10. That's cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don't like.
Arrogant shits who try to make up for their insecurity complex by being assholes.  Strictly speaking, that means I hate myself.

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
Drinking, smoking, killing people, embroidery ... OK, that last one was BS.

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in anyway before?
Kid, I could tell you stories.  But you'd probably piss your pants.

13. Ever...killed anyone before?
It's kind of my job.

14. What kind of animal are you?
The fuck do I look like?  I'm people.

15. What are your worst habits?
Well, for starters, I don't drink or smoke nearly enough to deal with all the bullshit that goes on around here.

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?
Yeah.  And if you disrespect her, I will personally come to your house and fuck up everything you love.

17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?
I'm a girl that likes girls.

18. Do you go to school?
Pfft, nope.  I had lessons when I was younger, but everything important I learned on the streets and in the war.

19. Ever wanna marry and have kids one day?
I doubt I could find someone who'd put up with me for the rest of her life, but yeah, it'd be nice.  Not really cut out to be a parent though.

20. Do you have fangirls/fanboys?
Shit, I hope not.  I'm a bad influence.

21. What are you most afraid of?
That's not something I want to talk about.  *thousand-yard stare*

22. What do you usually wear?
Clothes.

23. What's the one food that tempts you?
Beer is food, right?

24. Am I annoying you?
Listen to yourself.

25. Well, it's not over!
OK, you are now.

26. What class are you? (low class, middle class, high class)?
Gutter trash.

27. How many friends do you have?
One ... two, three ... maybe four?

28. What are your thoughts on pie?
What kind of pie we talking about here, exactly?

29. Favorite drink?
The house special at Rose's inn.

30. What's your favorite place?
Not here.

31. Are you interested in anyone?
What d'you mean, interested?

32. If you're a girl, what's your cup size? If you're a guy, how big are you?
I won't sit down for anything less than a pint.  Wait, we're not talking about drinking, are we?  Shit.  Never mind.
[they don't have cup sizes in her universe but she's probably like ... an A maybe]

33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
Don't trust the ocean.  Can't see the other damn side of it.  Lake, I guess.

34. What's your type?
*looks around cautiously*
Redheads.  Axe-wielding redheads in armor.  Who are currently yelling at me to shut up.

36. Any fetishes?
First tell me what happened to number 35.

37. Seme or uke?
What the fuck or what?

38. Camping or indoors?
Wherever.  Nice if it's got a roof, but I don't insist.  So wait, do I get to tag people?  I'm tagging Sage, Coriander, Oxalis, and Her Awfulness--uh, sorry, I mean Iris.  Hey, did you hear thunder?

[actually not tagging people but if you have characters you should do this~!! if you want toooo~!]
