I can't help it! TT^TT

No, I'm not talking about posting...though I probably can't help posting, either...XD Since I posted a picture I'm gonna post in here, as my system goes.

Now to what I was talking about in the title. I have to confess...

I LOVE this song:

Before I was like 'this is terrible, I can't believe BoA, it's just Lady Gaga music'...but...it's too catchy...TT^TT I keep getting it stuck in my head. I have it where when you watch a video with catchy dancing the song is also catchy...even if without the dancing it wouldn't have been catchy. I don't like most songs if they don't have dancing the videos, if they don't think I listen to a completely different genre! XD

Which brings me to the point (somehow) about American music. If you're big in America, you rule the world, it seems. I don't think that should be.

Compare this EXTREMELY popular boy band:

To this also popular, but only known is some parts of the world (which depresses me to say, but if you look at the statistics...):

Of course, it's a different time period. Let me get a better example...

This, which is ridiculously popular:

Compared to this:

(Or compare it to the above Hurricane Venus video).

In one you have really intricate costumes, though cool, it's a bit freaky and not so appealing to a random person, while the other has interesting and catchy styles that are more simple than the freaky one, but are still intricate.

In one you have a catchy and simple dance that only looks amazing because of the music, while the other, if you turned the music off, you could still hear it along with the words just from the choreography which is so complicated, but is still very catchy.

In one you have YELLING (which seems to be her style...O.o; I don't understand American singers and yelling...whoever yells the loudest is the best singer...'orz) while the other you have a rather soft voice that still sounds very nice to the ear (I personally don't think BoA is a GREAT singer, but at least she doesn't yell, but her voice is really soft and calm so I think it's hard for her to do many of the amazing voices that a lot of singers can do).

In one you have a really expensive and crazy detailed background with a bunch of people in it, the other you have a simple background that is somehow really intriguing because of all the little designs and it only has some back-up dancers.

I am totally bashing Lady Gaga here, sorry Lady Gaga fans...XD I just don't really like her that much...I'm okay with her as a person, but if I were more enthusiastic with American music I probably still wouldn't be her fan despite how much I like her music just because she has this negativity that I don't agree with...kinda like arrogance...almost...the same feeling I have with NEWS. As much as I love their music, I just can't trust them or love them like I can with AAA or f(x) or Super Junior or B1A4 (just list everyone here...XD).

I remember talking to my Chinese teacher about the really popular American singers and how they're also really popular in China, but neither of us know why. She said she doesn't think they have any talent or skill. I have thought that threw a ton...and I've began to wonder new things besides skill...well, it intertwines with skill.

How come these groups that spend so much time and hardworking working on every aspect of their idol skills (singing, acting, dancing, etc.) do not get as much popularity as these American singers who don't spend any time doing any of that, just show up acting all weird. These American singers who can't dance, can't act, and might not even be able to sing (Miley Cyrus!) who are somehow INCREDIBLY popular WORLDWIDE.

How did America get so far up the music chain? There are only a few bands and singers that I can think of that are actually that amazing and talented that came from America and were really popular. (By few, I mean less than 100...XD That's few in my book)

All the greatest rock stars came from EUROPE (in my opinion).

People (mostly Americans) keep saying that America made rock or made pop and all that jazz (okay, they actually did do jazz...that's ONE SMALL THING). THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. They just stole from other countries and somehow became more popular than those other countries.

Great Britain is the king of rock (that sounds weird...XD), Germany is the king of pop, and America is just the king of jazz and country...

America shouldn't be this big musical genius country since they aren't musical geniuses! The most popular songs of most of these bands were produced/written/composed by EUROPEANS! Not Americans! Why does America get all the credit!?

Okay...my rant has ended...sorry...that just really gets me. I dream of a day where popular Kpop bands and Jpop bands are on my TV or talked about by my peers...

Though some of the people at the band table were talking about Japanese rock bands like Greeeen...I was very surprised. But we're all geeks at that table, so that doesn't really count.

I want to see a freaking TVXQ shirt at school! >:[

My mom is making brownies and she also made these DELICIOUS pretzel things with frosting and sprinkles on top...but she's selling them at some place...TT^TT I had some...but they were the crappy ones with not enough frosting on...'orz the leftovers...TT^TT

So depressing...

Yesterday was liiike sketchbook day since everyone was talking about their sketches and sketch books! XD Well, three of the people I watched posted something about a sketchbook or sketches. I think that's a lot for one day!

Oh! Lately I've been having weird almost nightmare-ish dreams.

I had this one dream about The Day After Tomorrow with zombies...TT^TT I remember having one in the past with wolves in it...and they had to get food from some abandoned shack or something...or they were in a kitchen...or just something with lots of metal. Now I've forgotten what really happened in that movie...'orz

I can't remember my other dreams...darn...I need to keep a log or something of dreams, 'cause they're exciting!

Sheesh...sorry for the long post...'orz I have more to come, but gosh...I don't mean for this to be so long. Maybe because I haven't talked in a while (it's just a small while, but still).

I have a new...I dunno what you'd call it...practice technique or something...I'm going to try to replicate styles of traditional artists, but on the computer. Since I'm pretty bad at copying things I probably won't be stealing anything...but I'm not going to post it...maybe on here...but it's not my work, it's just practice. I just want to colour it a different style and stop trying to make it look realistic...or make it look realistic in a more interesting style.

I see a lot of traditional artists, since their medium probably has to dry and you can't erase or anything, it's not very smooth, which is why I'm going with traditional artists and not CG because CG artists are always smooth. As much as I like smooth colouring, I don't think that is right for me.

I'll try to complete that chibi sheet today...'orz

If I do, expect a TON of posts on 360...'orz Oh, wait, maybe I can make it so that it doesn't update or something. I don't want to spam your updates...'orz

Challenge Expiring soon!

I just noticed that my Challenge will be expiring in 3 days!

Just reminding you guys in case you're like me and misjudge the date times...'orz Though, I may be misjudging it here.

I thought it would expire much later...O.o; But I'm kinda glad, on my side, because I want to draw some prizes already and I also have an idea for a new challenge which I've been wanting to do for a while!

...I'll go work on some preparation for it just for fun.

I'm trying to have good reasons to post now.

I'll also post every time I upload a new picture...or something like that. Just to balance it, I guess.

Life posts are fun every now and then, but it's boring with posts are nothing but information, which is why I'll be going by the system above.

So...long...

This ONE B1A4 pic is TAKING ME FOREVER. Mostly it's laziness...but this is almost the hardest I've worked on a picture. I say almost because there is probably a time a worked harder on a picture...'orz

I tried a new colouring style. It's not very fun to do the clothes, but the hair is fun.

Also I have some edited pictures I did! I took some pictures and edited them to look like my characters. So we have Kyo Kusanagi as my...ermm...kabuki fighter guy...he has no name. I either call him Kabuki Fighter or Ace...O.o; Then there's Blue Mary as...Swallow...I don't remember her name...GAAHH! TT^TT

And then there's Marcia as one of my FE OCs...I think her name is May or something like that. She's a white general (her sprite is next to Marcia). She is the 'white knight' instead of the 'black knight'! XD...Actually I just figured that out just now, even though I've had this OC for years. I forgot to add her to my chibi sheet...'orz

Actually I think she's supposed to be the 'white warrior'. Anyways, she was this secret rebel hero of her village, but nobody knew her name or even that she was girl ('cause of all that gear). She would save people kinda like the Dawn Brigade or the Greil Mercenaries, but by herself since she's a 'lone wolf' kinda person. (Wow...I have my playlist on scramble and all I'm getting is FE music! XD) She joins...umm...whoever's party (depends on the game, now doesn't it?) for some reason...I dunno I haven't thought of 'why' yet. I just have that she is a warrior who is almost in over her head when it comes to lots of situations. She is about as powerful as Oscar. Not crazy powerful, but lovable powerful.

I LOVE YOU OSCAAARR! I'm a complete Oscar fangirl when I play the game, but I'm not really too fond of his character, but him as a unit is AMAZING! He took out half the map on this one level...ALONE...and it was VERY TOUGH. Titania was there, but she only covered bits ('cause I didn't allow her to gain the spotlight).

Also Haar is so good it's easy. He doesn't start out super powerful either, but he IS stronger than Oscar and he levels up like CRAZY. Which is why I love him and I usually put him in the middle of where most of the enemies are.

And then Shinon. Holy crap, that guy is THE GOD of archery. I never used to like archery units...or archery at all, until I actually used Shinon in battle and he saved all the people who were about to be killed...Sheeeeeesshhh...

Sorry, sorry, fangirling right thar.

Oh! Just a quick question. I think it would do me some good to write some fanfics, just to get it out of my system so I don't feel so stuck up (that happens when I limit myself too much).

So would you guys care if I wrote a fanfic of something?

Which fandom should I do it of?:

Deadman Wonderland (it'd be a shounen-ai...I'll take about this later in the post)
Fire Emblem
Pokemon (my OCs side)
Rozen Maiden

...I wanted a longer list, but those are the only ones I'm willing to write. I like writing SOME fanfics, but there are very few amounts of manga where I feel I could dive in with some OCs. I wouldn't have put Rozen Maiden on the list if it weren't for a dream I had.

I had some weird dream about 'Father' making more dolls, but all of them are messed up for some reason, so they're almost like zombies trying to mindlessly kill the other Rozen Maiden. At least most of the Rozen Maiden have feelings, these guys just have love and hate and they only have a heart to love 'Father' and they hate everything else...actually...maybe this was one Rozen Maiden...I can't remember...maybe the other one was Barasuishou or Kirakishou...I dunno....

About the Pokemon one...it'd probably just be the adventures o' me psycho lady. Okay, she's not psycho, she just seems that way. It would be about her quest in trying to catch the legendary shiny Rayquaza. But it might have some kind of gijinka twist. And by gijinka twist I mean there's some reason for there to be gijinka...but maybe I'll just go with regular pokemon.

And Deadman Wonderland.

Did anybody see the most recent episode!? THEY WERE LOOOOVEEEE!! Omigosh! That's my favourite part in the series! And I got to see the lovely Owl X Genkaku scene! >:D I was surprised that they went so far into this crazy love! >:D Genkaku was saying how beautiful Owl was when he was going insane and how he had a boner because of it. Now if that's not some kinda crazy sexual desire for Owl, I dunno what is. *shakes head* It may not be the regular Owl, but his great yearning for him to be 'bad' still supports this pairing.

So I wanna do a quick fanfic or something about their LOVE~! <333 I love this pairing too much it seems! XD

Also Mockingbird and Senji...that was some random fanservice they put in there where Senji was all blushing 'cause Mockingbird was saying creepy things and hugging him or something...I don't think this pairing works so much for me...(The black spoiler thingy is there for a reason. You wouldn't know this unless you're really clever or you've read the most recent chapters and thought about it...>>>)(Since Mockingbird's Ganta's mother...it just makes it awkward)

Ack! Why do I always make such long posts!? TT^TT

Would you guys care if I stopped posting so much? I have this hanging feeling that if I stop for more than one day you guys will think I died, since I post every day...'orz

So here's a reminder. If I don't post that doesn't mean I died, I'm just trying to break a habit! :D (Except when I post some fanfics...'orz)

Ayyy!

I couldn't think of a better title. This character from Gods Eat Burster...Looks VERY VERY similar to Shiro (BEWARE OF POSSIBLE SPOILERS):

External Image

Their name is even Shio! >3>

Compare:

External Image

(This is fanart, but it's the only thing I could find with Shiro wearing the Deadman's costume part of the way)

External Image

I really think that Shio was inspired by Shiro. Now, it's not actually stealing anything...but I just thought that was kinda strange. Other people can have similar designs...and that seems to happen A LOT.

Trying to suppress laughter...XD

Ah...I need to learn to not watch funny things at night...well...I didn't know it'd be so funny! XD I can't laugh 'cause my parents are sleeping. Anyways, this is what I was laughing at:

At 1:23 Gongchan is just putting his index fingers together and then opening them up again, and then he does it on CNU's pants and then he pulls them down! XD Perfect timing...XD

There was another part that still gets me when I think about it in the first part, but I don't want to post the video since it's a small part in the middle and the video is 15:00 minutes long...'orz

It's where they're waking all of B1A4 up and they're getting out of bed. Sandeul's on the top bunk and when he goes to get down he falls down on the ground and then crawls out of the room! XD Sandeul is HILARIOUS! XD He also laughs a lot and loud...O.o;

I'm still working on that pic of them...I'm at the background point...gahhh...I'll look up some pictures of pillows 'n stuffs right now to finish it or something. Then I get to design their clothes~! >:D

Sorry, random post, I just thought that hilarious! XD
