| Today, as I was nomming my pre-mass snack and wandering around the kitchen, I happened to chance upon a newspaper article on my grandfather's desk. It was cleverly titled "Our Favourite Fantasy Films".
Uy, epic title. Must read when I get home. It ENSURES the lols.
I come home from mass, read the article and decide it's SO damn funny, I have to copy it to my LJ to share the lol. The mental image I get is that the entertainment section head needed an article stat and asked their five year old daughter to write something, QUICK and make it about movies!
As usual, my comments are in boldface.

| INFO DUMP!
Today, I'm gonna talk about my concepts and my OCs. :D
First things first: I unknowingly adopted the Tezuka Star System. This usually means I end up getting my other OCs to cameo or guest star in a canon that isn't their home canon. Sometimes, I make AU plots using the cast of one canon.
Today, I'm going to talk about two of my favourite pet projects that aren't GodHunt. (Le gasp. Such things exist?!)
These are Academe Arcanum and Dharma Trap.
Academe Arcanum is technically a story about a magic school and a demon who posessed a teacher. They have strange adventures and a crossover with GH where the GH dieties become mortals and the GH cast and some of the mages have to bring them back. AA is set in Denigraad on the continent of Mythros which is across the sea from Geharra.
Dharma Trap is technically me and Shakti parodying a harem anime. Adrian Staccato is the unluckiest man alive and somehow, his nasty luck catches the attention of the Dark Queen, Jia Ananda. Before you know it, goddesses start coming to his place one by one and all of them seem to be interested in him. Unfortunately for Aids, he rather likes the quiet life and as fond as he is of the goddesses, he's already picked one he likes. Sadly, they've all picked him. XD
Dharma Trap is basically an AU of AA! I couldn't help myself. The goddesses seemed so fond of the mages here that I just HAD to use the same cast... That and Adrian's already managed to turn into a goddess magnet without meaning to so... you can say the plot wrote itself. XD
8D Onto the Ryus!
First off is Raven Raine. He's the strong, serious type. In the Academe, he teaches History and is one of the more respected teachers. He was originally an Arcmage and backed down from the position after something spoilery happened. In Dharma Trap, he owns a secondhand book store (Parang Booksale ba.). He is married to Rou Amida and carries the title Arcmagus Novum, Mageknight of the Beginning.
There's also this one guy I'm not too sure about. His name is Lance Evans and he is a werewolf... or as the people of Denigraad call them, the Wilde. He's a silent man, keeps to himself and spends most of his time in the Academe's grand library. He disappears during nights of a Sivak Moon though, which people find quite strange. In the Academe, Lance is the head librarian and teaches herbology. He graduated a scholar rather than a mage. His herbology knowledge comes from his clan. In Dharma Trap, Lance owns a cafe downtown, the Silver Moon. Aids works there sometimes durning summer. Lance is quite overprotective of and happily married to Eri... and bears the title Scholus Lycourun, Wildeknight of the Middle.
Then there's Mr Goddess Magnet himself, Adrian Staccato. He once belonged to an affluent family who was exiled for the same spoilery things that cost Raven his position. He's a little clueless, very torpe... but the goddesses say that this is what makes him so endearing. In the Academe, he teaches Astronomy and is adviser for the psychic students. In Dharma Trap, Aids is a clueless college student who gets several goddesses willingly attatched to him. He is married to Jia Ananda and carries the title Magus Novum Astronum, Mageknight of the End.
Aids' best friend is named Edouard Kamakshi Foardei. Of the two, Ed is the louder, more adventurous one. He and Aids met when they were very small and hit it off at once. Seems that they hang around way too much as Ed also happens to become a bit of a goddess magnet himself... But that's another story for another day! In the Academe, he teaches water magic and is adviser for the summoners. In Dharma Trap, Ed is Aids' classmate and the only man lucky enough to have made Aindri Kamakshi fall head over heels in love with him. Ed is (quite obviously) married to Indrani Kamakshi and carries the title Magus Novum Hydros, Blade to the Demon Eye.
Aids' OTHER best friend is a thief named Julien Fuuyou. Jules was raised on the streets and has known nothing but thievery all his life, thus his lack of an actual last name apart from his wife's. Yes, these guys are ALL married. Quite happily, too... but I'm getting ahead of myself. Of the three, Jules is probably the most charismatic and definitely the most athletic. In the Academe, Jules isn't a teacher. He's one of Aids' buddies tho. In Dharma Trap, Julien is a certified NEET who was once Ed and Adrian's classmate. Jules is married quite happily to Hinara Fuuyou and bears the title Blade of the Moon.
Of course, there are others who aren't quite from the Academe who make an appearance in MGAA too!
Take for example, Ureath, the Elemental Dragon of Fire. He has the appearance of a small boy but this is only because he likes to keep himself in that body. He can also take the form of a young man should he choose to. He's energetic and quite bright. He also has a quick temper and can be rather territorial to boot. He's a fire dragon. We're all like that. As the Elemental Dragon of Fire, he is seen as the lord of all flames and sire of the fire elementals. With such power over flame, he was once called upon to make a pact with the Ice Demoness, O-Yui; her greatest weakness being fire. Of course, she ended up betrothed to him in the end... and quite happy about it, too! In AA, Ureath appears along with the other elemental dragons in a slight cameo. He turns human in the crossover. Ureath doesn't show up in DT. Ok, mebbe in a cameo, too. Ureath is married to O-Yui and carries the title Dragonlord of Fire, Blade of the Ice Queen.
Then there's Lucifer Rofocale, the devil himself. He pokes his head all over the place. The devil is brother to the lord of Chaos and sits on the third throne of hell. He heads Department 666 and which Yama, the god of the dead and chief shinigami answers to. Because of the fall, he is unable to access 100% of his power and is crippled in the right leg. I sometimes consider it lucky for some people that he can't summon his terrible overpowered form. The devil in a black Armani suit has two wives: Nikki Amida and Nasrine Sanae, both of which he loves very much and he consideres the pride and joy of his "little black heart". In the AA/GH crossover, Lucifer becomes one of the cooks at the Red Horn Inn. He holds the title Prince of the Dark Citadel.
And how could one forget the crowning glory of Rokuryu, Skye Fiinix? He is practically one of my oldest OCs and the original goddess magnet. His brother is Lucifer and much like his brother, he was once an angel. This is seen in his wings. Once there were six, now there are two... and four are tattered beyond healing. He's much better off now, seated on the Throne of Hell with his wife and brother by his side. As the King of Hell, he does have quite a lot of women he loves. He is married to Jia Ananda and Umiya, to name a few though. XD Damn you, Skye. In the AA/GH crossover, he becomes a law enforcer who seems to be a skeptic when it comes to religion... Skye Fiinix holds the title King of the Chaos Court, Fallen Seraph first class.

And there we go! | | Chronicles:4 mortals dare to brave the wind |
| Yesterday when I was at ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) queendea's... she told me this parable.
See, there were these two shepherds. One was rich, one was poor. The rich one had a LOT of sheep. Lots and lotsa sheep. The poor shepherd only had one but... this sheep, the poor shepherd took care of and loved with all his heart.
Then one day, a traveller came to town and the rich shepherd wanted to throw a party for him. Instead of slaughtering one of his own sheep, he took the poor shepherd's beloved sheep and killed it.

Makes ya think, huh? | | Chronicles:4 mortals dare to brave the wind |
| I'm sitting here in the sala with a kitten on my lap and another one trying to climb on. Cory's funeral coverage is playing on the TV and my grandmother's in the kitchen doing who knows what.
I was born on April 26, 1986... a mere two months after the EDSA revolution and while the country was struggling to get back on its feet. I don't have too many memories of those earlier years. Of course while we were watching Cory's remains being brought to Manila Cathedral, my grandparents were more than happy to tell me about what happened during those times. As my question that day was "Is the crowd anything like the one during Ninoy's funeral?", they ended up telling me about that day.
See, then, dad still lived with us and the hooman was around seven months pregnant with me. In the morning, dad and my grandparents went off to work and the hoonman was on maternal leave. Those were dangerous times for a horrendously pregnant lady and the hooman didn't know when the next random act of violence would be. The grandparents meanwhile ran a betamax rental (Yes, Video City of their time. XD) somewhere along Paranaque. Seeing as there were no customers that day, my gramma persuaded my grandpa to close up shop for the day and they took their little honey colored Volkswagen over to where they could see the procession.
There was no room to drop a pin. People were crowding the streets, seated on tops of cars and on hoods of cars, crowded around the van carrying the casket. My grandparents could only watch from a distance. If they wanted to get close, they couldn't. There were just way too many people.
Pan to a few years later... where I'm sitting here in the sala with a kitten on my lap and another one trying to climb on. Cory's funeral coverage is playing on the TV and my grandmother's in the kitchen doing who knows what. ABSCBN is playing Kris' speech again and my grandmother's slightly annoyed at the fact she keeps talking about herself. XD;
Grampa's asleep and if I had class, I prolly woulda skipped it to go to Intramuros then having had my fill of that, gone to JRU to ambush my aibou. :D
My grandparents are too old to go out there this time... the hooman doesn't wanna fight through traffic... and I'm too broke to go out there...
Back then, there was no TV to cover Ninoy's funeral procession. It wasn't a state funeral but the people turned it into one. | | Chronicles:4 mortals dare to brave the wind |
| Dragons are very territorial creatures. The presence of anything new and strange on familiar ground sends them into fits of paranoia and temper tantrums. They tend to turn grouchy and lash out at anything that moves for the sheer wish to keep their territory theirs and theirs alone. Sometimes, you'd just wish they'd peed in key locations and left it at that.
But why are they so territorial?
It's called... The Hoard.
The hoard (Don't look at me like that. I don't play WoW.) is a collection of baubles which the dragon in question has gathered over the years. These can be precious swords, gems, coins, gold, silver or practically anything that glitters. Often, a dragon will treasure one particular piece from its hoard and protect it from outsiders with its life.
It is never wise to steal from a dragon. When a dragon has been stolen from, it will do anything and everything within its power to get said treasure back. This may start with chasing after the thief to battling it to threatening to eat it alive. The thief in question may escape with the shiny object but rest assured, the dragon is still watching and waiting for the perfect chance to snatch its treasure back.
It is said that anyone who steals from a dragon will be forever cursed until the piece of treasure is returned. There is no compensation for the lost item. You either return it or pay for it with your life.
In other related materials, most Infernal dragons (hell dragons) have an inborn hate for angels. Well, I dunno about the hate. Some of the more mature ones are rather distrustful and wary of them. I suppose this stems from the fact that their ancients don't really have a good rap sheet with them. At any rate, an Infernal dragon will rip an angel to shreds when faced with one. Payback for what they did to their ancestors. An angel wouldn't last two seconds looking at an Infernal. There will be roaring and gnashing of teeth.
Angels and dragons do not mix. The other breeds may be cool with them but not the Infernals.

In IRL news...
-Holyshit Black Bat Vanilla Mint. <3 *wants an entire box*
I went to take a walk around the area today and ended up in Harrison Plaza. That's where I found the Black Bat. Bought a couple of sticks as well as some DJ Mix and a Pink Devil. I'm curious about the rose flavored cigs. o_o
Anyway. After that, I walked a little more and found myself at the zoo. Yes, Manila Zoo. Since the entrance fee was only 20php, I decided to go and kill some time there. Hay kababawan. I was blissfully happy. XD Fosirius.
The elephant seemed ok.... and I wasted a lot of time watching the peacocks...
But I found myself feeling kinda sorry for the ostrich. It was really old and it's feathers were in really bad shape. It very nearly looked like a large balding turkey. We had a moment together when it sat down near the fence and watched me while I crouched down and watched it.
The hippo was cute. It was all fat and lumpy.
The gator and I had a moment, too. Reptile to reptile. He was lazing in the water with his mouth open. I was hanging around the wall near his pen. He suddenly moves to adjust his position to look at me. I look back. We remain like this for several minutes until I declare I was getting tired.
A cat darted across the llama pen. It seemed REALLY scared.
I saw a monkey whack off in public.
The tiger was asleep.
I couldn't find the lion.
Crocs and gators are lazy. Cute... but lazy.
DUCKS!
POT BELLIED PIG!
I had something in my head going "Omnomnomnom" when I saw rabbits and guinea pigs.
And thus my trip to the zoo.
Someday, I shall take Shakti there too! :D | | Chronicles:2 mortals dare to brave the wind |
| To those who don't understand, please ignore. Senseless rambling.
FOR WHOEVER CAN RELATE, PLEASE LOOK! /desperately trying to reach
Tentaive title: Natur-Leute (Nature People in German.)
So this is probably in the same universe as the Ancient God thing. It has slightly the same idea... except it uses mythical creatures.
Imagine not only the gods being real and present in the present world but nymphs, demons, elementals and the like and they're all around us. Some people can see them, some people can't. Some of them choose to appear as a normal human and disguise whatever sets them apart, like tails and ears and such.
The characters... are the kids.
I want a place for Yuki, Aki, Marduk, Ayumi, Rinku and Furian and Yuurin. I can already imagine the scenario the twins have! Same with Haru.
I wish I knew what sort of creature Yuki was if he is a sort of creature... I want him in both this and War Chronicle.
I'm not really sure but Haru is an incubus posing as a human. He covers up his ears in the hood of his shirt or under a cap. As for his tail, I think he tucks it in his pants.
He gave a big smile because he knew mama would look! He wanted his mama to see him smiling.
I think I'll be working very closely with Haru, Natsu, Kali and Myse for this idea!
Natsu's a water nymph. She likes wandering around invisible but she enjoys the rain so much that she becomes visible to mortals to enjoy it better. I think that's her story. She gets mistaken for some sort of ghost. *nodnod*
Kali and Myse seem to be paranormal investigators. I see him poking his nose around some of the stories. One of them's secretly a half demon. I think it's Kali.
I'll be working very closely with the kids for this one... I'd like to think of it as a family project! The kids wanna work hard for mama!
*runs off to sketch Kali* | | Chronicles:brave the wind |

Ask Shakti about this one. My answer is AND ALWAYS WILL BE...
"Am I in trouble?"
I dunno. Call it paranoia or something but that's my usual answer to this question. It's come up with very funny situations once before.
"I need to talk to you."
"Am I in trouble...?"
"... *facepalm in FX*"
8D Hey Shakti, remember this one?
Ah... good times, good times...
...or not. D: | | Chronicles:brave the wind |
| Hey K,
How've you been? How's life? Seems you're doing ok. It's been what, five, six years since we last spoke and I guess I can only watch from a distance as we both grow. I think I'm nearly your equal now. At least I think so. You've come a long way. Hell, we both have, haven't we? From retarded fan characters to original work, we've done some pushing, pulling, tweaking and shoving to get our studios up and running.
I wish I wasn't so jealous and gullible then. I dunno if you'd believe me but... it's all A's fault. She was the one who told me things about you that made me hate you. I bet she told you things about me, too. I wish I wasn't so gullible to believe her and instead trusted what I knew about you. I wish I was a better friend. I wish for a lot of things, really. I wish somehow you'd get this letter. You said you were jealous of the way I thought, the way I came up with concepts. I never got to tell you why I envied you.
I was jealous of the support your family gave you. I didn't have a sister to help me learn how to draw and I didn't have parents who would pat me on the back when I drew something nice. It was all me. I wished that just for one day, I could have what you had.
I wished I could be loved too.
And you did it so easily.
I look at your stuff every now and then like some silent sentinel or something like that. I can see you have gone a long way. Your style's better now and your colors are smoother. I wish I could talk to you again. Fat chance of you listening to me though. I tried, remember? I really did. Twice.
But I guess I caused more damage than I thought.
It's all her fault... and half mine for being gullible.
Those memories are still burned in me, you know. I can recall them clearly. Every word. I can stand in that same spot in the driveway of ICA and look at the place you were at. I could stand underneath that tree and look for an ant nest to drown all over again.
I could walk down the street to the house where we first met.
I can do it all. I still remember everything.
What I want more than anything is to be happy that you're coming back to Manila. Right now, I feel nothing but regret when I read about it. Regret and a little hope that J calls me and goes "K's coming back to Manila and we're gonna meet!".
Then I'd go "Can I come? I wanna see her too."
Because I do. I wish I could see you just one time and explain, apologize and make amends in person. Notes can be ignored, comments can be deleted but when you're face to face, there's no choice but to sit and listen.
That would be nice. A private little corner of a coffee shop somewhere where we can talk. Just you and me. Starbucks. My treat.
If I knew where you were, I'd send you something. Something you'd like, something you know came from me.
I guess I keep doing this because I want some closure.
Huh... Found you on LJ. Whadaya know. You're friends with the other her.
She's a different story altogether. Won't mix that with this. That has closure. You don't.
I guess S got to you first and you probably heard about our fight. Fat chance of me getting the closure I need now, huh? I suppose the only way I'd be able to get the closure I need is by seeing you by chance.
Hopefully, you'll forgive me then if I explained myself.
I really hate myself for being gullible and stupid then. If I wasn't... we'd probably be talking. A lot.
Seriously... You are the biggest mistake I've ever made in my entire life.
Hoping for some closure,
S.S.
I'm leaving this on public... Just in case fate should let you chance upon it. | | Chronicles:3 mortals dare to brave the wind |
| Ok.... so I went off to Rob after class. I thought I'd be missing major lulz because I was late. Got to Rob at around 2:30+
( And these are the events that transpired )
XD;; That was just a very short overview of what happened at Failcon 08. :D Expect a better review from Chep and John when they get to writing! | | Chronicles:3 mortals dare to brave the wind |

| Tokyo Game Show's coming up and that means new games to be unveiled! So far, I don't have all the dirt on it yet but I DO have a list from IGN on the playable releases and videos for DS related games.
Here's a look at what will be playable:
-Snoopy DS
-Chocobo Mysterious Dungeon DS+
-Valkyrie Profile DS
-Kingdom Heart 358/2 Days (Weird. I'm actually looking forward to this. And I HATE KH.)
-Final Fantasy IV the After
Video only:
-Chrono Trigger
-Dragon Quest XIII
Also, there's something coming in called Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. If this is some sort of shit sequel again, I swear. Heads will roll. But before I start muttering under my breath on how Squeenix should stop making pointless FF7 sequels, here's a list of future releases I'm going to keep an eye on.
( Cut for length )
I have two Japanese titles up there and I'm willing to slog through the hiragana and katakana just to give you guys a review when it comes out!
That. Is all. :D | | Chronicles:8 mortals dare to brave the wind |
| Poll #1249492 How should I overspend during my last school day of the term?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 3How should I overspend during my last school day of the term?
So... I can't have that tasty Japanese dinner I thought I'd give myself because the hooman cut my allowance this week to only a hundred. I can't go to the mall because what the HELL am I gonna do there?! No moneyz. My options are thus... and all RO related.
What do you all think?
Yes, I still want my RO back. TT
I have the free server currently on download (Flashget) but it'll take at least 20+ hours to complete.
There you go! NOW GO! DICTATE HOW I SHOULD REGAIN MY RO CLIENT!! | | Chronicles:3 mortals dare to brave the wind |
| Who tries to sound like she knows what she's talking about. Note. This "lecture(tte)" covers the basics of a broadsword and a katana. It doesn't show you how to make one but it shows you the important notes you should take into consideration when designing one.
( Lesson one: Da SWORD )

There we go. I think I've managed an introductory lesson quite nicely. I think. O_o
And back to my entire afternoon of doing nothing. 8D
In other news: If I have any friends living in Pasig, there's an earthquake due. They say it's going to reach a 9 so... I hope you all stay safe. However, I do wish for the house of a certain skank who lives along the fault line to just crumble, thus rendering her homeless for quite some time. :D
I'm sorry. I shall stop being horrible now. X3 | | Chronicles:brave the wind |
