SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH

bakaimoto gave me two bucks.

so I spent it on eljay.

100 icons…so…indulgent…. o_o

ETA: I’ve already filled up 70. I-I don’t even—

changed my eljay layout again, lol. I just…don’t like any of them anymore. :I

ETA: Eh, though I guess the way I currently have it, it doesn’t bother me as much as it did yesterday.

My little social experiment backfired on me AND NOW I FEEL LIKE A DOUCHE. /)_(\

My fav Yuna fan-sites shut down. ;;;;_;;;;

dudes

sponsored accounts opened up again. I literally jumped in my seat when someone told me. |DD

I abhor the cover of Koda Kumi’s Can We Go Back single. Every time I see it, I want to punch her photographer and/or cover designer in the fucking face. >[

I am so tired of this “Hetalia is offensive” debate. Because while yea, it perpetrates national stereotypes and whatnot, are we forgetting that no one takes it seriously? People research in order to play Hetalia characters in RP, not the other way around. By which I mean no one uses the thing as a textbook, or uses it to replace textbooks and/or historical books, much in the same vein no one would use the “Dear America” or “I Am America” series of fictional books as actual historical accounts.

And that’s not even taking into the account that uh, why would people who laugh and take their country’s trope with a grain of salt suddenly turn around and take the Hetalia tropes about every other country as SRS BZNSS? Seriously? I mean, seriously?

Apparently parodies/comics/anime/manga/TV are SRS BZNSS. We must never make anything funny ever again.

ETA: And gods forbid we take into account that these characters are written to be loveable. In other words, they’re liked despite their faults. Totally a message of hate right there, yo.

ETA2: Since this might easily be misinterpreted, let me clarify. Hetalia was made to mock the shit out of countries. It seems silly to haet on Hetalia because of the very thing it’s mocking. If I made a parody about women’s roles, calling me out for being misogynist or perpetration of misogynistic stereotypes would be silly, considering that’s…kinda my point in making it. Similarly, saying Hetalia perpetrates national stereotypes is silly, considering, yanno. Hetalia was written for the sake of mocking national stereotypes?

I just changed my eljay layout and now the ad placement is really obnoxious no matter where I put it. :(

Not like I see ads if I have adblocker on, but asghjkl; OTL

I haven’t updated my eljay in liek, a month. :’( I actually have a backlog of icons to post, too! I’m just. waiting for myself to finish this fic but I keep putting it off and OHSNAEP IT’S BEEN THREE WEEKS. :’(

This is Sion.

This is Xion.

…

. . . THE WORLD (of Nomura) MAKES SENSE NOW. *_*

I’ve just been reading this thread about Japanese->English romanizations, and the subject of Yagami Light came up…

…Yeah, I’m sure you can imagine. :|

There’s all this balh blah blah about how “Light” or “Raito” or “Write” is the correct spelling, and guys. There are these things called puns. Japanese authors do it on purpose. English is not the only godsdamn language in the fucking universe that engages in wordplay.

Just this post

I haven’t even read the comments yet, I just had to work very hard not to burst out laughing at it because I didn’t want to wake anyone up. Oh man. ♥

My screenshots take up a surprising amount of space on my hard drive. ._.

dA’s being such a bitch to me right now. :|
