It's about hot ice...  
There's a new Lunargyros page up today; read it here.

I'm really interested by the poll results from yesterday...there was a lot more yes than I was expecting! This now makes me wonder if this is mainly a thing among fandom-oriented (or creatively-oriented) people, or if it's true with the human population in general. Because if it's the latter, that says some interesting things about how our brains function and how important fiction and stories really are to us...not just to help us understand the world, but also for our own personal health. If so many of us need some form of fiction in order to get to sleep, and sleep is such a vital part of human health and productivity, then this could mean that we need fiction to maintain everyday health. I suppose I'd need more data, but yeah, it's interesting to think about. :Oa

Also, I have a (slightly late) birthday present for [livejournal.com profile] betwixt_worlds! This was something I intended to draw for her awhile ago and kinda failed to, so hopefully it's okay now. XD HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN






ALSO also, I need help from the flist. I'd been mulling over getting Corel Painter for awhile, but had never really gotten around to it. Except now I downloaded a copy (actually a trial version unless I can get this dang serial number to work) and tried it out some. And. Holy crap, how have I lived this long without Painter. The brush and blending options and everything are SOOO SHINY AND I NEED IT AAAAH. It feels like REAL PAINT and that's totally the feel I've been trying to get with Photoshop but never really achieving. SO. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of Painter for mac OSX 10.5 that will work properly, whether with a proper crack/serial number or otherwise? I will love you forever and/or probably draw you something, no lie. *___*

Day 22 - Favorite Pairing


NOT A SHOCKER to anyone that knows me even a bit, but my fav pairing is Sora/Kairi. XD They are full of sweetness and cuteness and plotty goodness, and I admit I tend to ship canon and closest to it when I'm in a fandom the strongest. Although I'd say I ship the Sora/Riku/Kairi OT3 on an equal level...they're the ones that really turned me on to the idea of OT3s. And when you actually see the three of them all together, you can totally feel that they belong that way.

I'm actually really glad you did that poll, because I was sort of convinced I was a freak for picturing scenes/telling stories to myself before I fell asleep. But now I know I'm not alone! :D

I used to be a big S/K shipper a few years ago, but don't really ship them anymore...still think they're a cute pairing, but I don't really ship a lot in KH anymore.

However, after having played BBS, I think...that I might have started crack!shipping Young!Xehanort and Young!Yen Sid.

...yes, everyone else in the fandom ship like, Terra/Aqua, Aqua/Ventus, Terra/Ventus, Terra/Aqua/Ventus, Vanitas/Ventus, Lea/Isa, the apprentices in all conceivable(and inconceivable)formations, and the pairing I end up shipping from the game? Younger versions of the Big Bad and The Dumbledore. One of whom we don't even see as his younger self throughout the game. At all.

...God, I'm weird.

I'm not a huge shipper myself (not in the way some fans seem to focus solely on shipping), but I do have those few that I enjoy. XD And fffffffff, I was totally joking awhile back that Eraqus and Yen Sid would be OTP. AND THEY SORT OF WERE. XD

(Speaking of, I wonder if we'll ever see Young!Xehanort's face...)

I've played around with the thought of writing a Young!Masters fanfic, exploring Young!Yens Sid's, Eraqus and Xehanorts lives before they became Masters...buuuut given my tendency to procrastinate, I doubt it'll ever come to fruition. Plus I'd just worry about them not being IC.

I think there's an image at the KH Wiki on Xehanort's wiki page of Young!Xehanort seen from the front, it was apparently a model that was never used in the final game.

Of course, given S-E's love for retcons, that model may become completely incorrect wheneverKH3 rolls out.

Oh dude that would be fun to read. XD I hope we get to see Eraqus and Xehanort's Master too, since you have to wonder how their Master was teaching with him ending up with two VERY different students.

AHAAA, I found it! (Thank you, game rippers!) And wow, that face has a lot more Sephiroth in there than I was somehow expecting.

Fiction's very important. Even the Gradgrinds of the world who pretend to hate fiction have to live in their comforting fairy tale world where everyone is Very Utterly Sensible (TM). My guess is that it's a survival mechanism since our brains want more stimulation than our environment can consistently give (which would also help explain why doing chores sucks so much). But who knows.

That would make sense...and it would also explain how people are usually able to think or imagine so well while doing chores, because it's a mundane activity that still allows your brain to seek more stimulation.
