*sighs* No boundaries...
Afternoon, Aretha
Great ded Dalek!
Next time we see River you can't tell him. Understand?
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Ari!
#ChaseForBook9
Um, no Aretha. I was kind of forced to do it the other way around.
I sort of saved his life.
#ChaseForBook9
Hey, Aretha!
#ChaseForBook9
hello aretha
[Shrugs] It's okay, Taia. Gives me an excuse to make more! XD
[Eats some cake]
Hi Ari.
#ChaseForBook9
TRIP, i forgot but you and adra control the penguin army
*glares at Trip* you saved Hitler?!?! Why you idiot? Why?
#ChaseForBook9
*lowers both eyebrows into a frown*
Trip, you were forced to?
That doesn't bother me - as far as I'm concerned that's probably more good than bad - But 'forced' interests me.
#ChaseForBook9
...?
Alright, I won't ask. I'm assuming Adra filled you in?
((Can I ask everybody what they look like/what they're wearing? I just realized I don't actually know, and I'd like to have accurate pictures of you guys in my head.))
#ChaseForBook9
I may leave...
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah apparently that happened.
How's Niccolo, Aretha?
Also- Trip you can't go on any more magical adventures- we need you here.
Hi everybody!
#ChaseForBook9
Hello again.
Not in the slightest Ari.
#ChaseForBook9
I look like my profile picture, minus the wings obviously.
@Fabi: xD
*takes a //small// piece of the cake* :P
@Aretha: I don't know what I look like - Very poorly developed OC. Just go with whatever you want, for me. :P
#ChaseFOrBook9
Rhydian, could you imagine the consequences of Hitler having died /early/?!
#ChaseForBook9
Fabi? Are you ok?
#ChaseForBook9
Right. Demons are slaughtering lots of humans to give their souls to feed a darkness called Chaos which apparently is worse than a demon. Long explanation. The demons want to possess us because the mages have more durable bodies and they all want to go skipping around dimensions and planets destroying things, using us
but half of us are dead
*hugs Fabi* :/
(ButthenwhowillIeaticecreamandcakewith?)
Hi Dragona. ^^
#ChaseForBook9
Yay! Demons are probably going to kill us all. Yippee!
#ChaseForBook9
Well, I'm quite tall, about 6, 2. Thin, purple hair and eyes, clean shaven. I wear a dark blue waterproof coat with four pockets that goes down to half way down my thighs. I generally wear green combat trousers and either a plain t-shirt or one with a joke on it.
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Dragona!
#ChaseForBook9
I am well enough, thank you, although I am terribly surprised and somewhat disappointed in the lack of understanding this century has of the true name. And I am still unsure of how I came to be here.
#ChaseForBook9
What demon-killer weapons do we have? Aside my sword?
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Coco!
#ChaseForBook9
sherlock could kill demons
Another sword, a bow, and a gun.
Niccolo, do you have a working knowledge of the human brain? I'm assuming you do, however primitive it may be
Why are we describing ourselves?
#ChaseForBook9
((Just a sec... I'm finding an image. But right now I look dead, so...))
And I'm fine. Just starting to get into a really odd mood in which I may randomly start writing depressing poetry, so maybe I need to take a break for a little while.
#ChaseForBook9
Wait... What was that about Adra and I controlling the penguin armies?
#ChaseForBook9
My apologies- what is 'coco'?
#ChaseForBook9
Aretha asked us to Rhydian.
#ChaseForBook9
@Rhydian: Aretha asked for an idea of what OCs looked like - to picture them better.
Hi Niccolo!
Uh, I can't really help you there.
I don't even know who /I/ am. :P
#CHaseForBook9
sherlock put you in charge before he died trip ( i described sherlock not minion )
*laughs, typing off the wound and closing the kit*
I'm assuming that you are going to refuse getting some rest, so... *hands him some cheese and crackers to eat* Fuel up. *goes to wash her hands*
*looks in the mirror* Not Macbeth again...
Coco I mean Niccolo do you remember me? Ari do you want a description of me/my OC?
#ChaseForBook9
Rhydian, he thinks he is seventeen. Tha was 500 years ago. He doesn't remember anything
Yes, I have some understanding of the human brain. I have barely so much as scratched the surface in that area, however, although not even the greatest scientists of my time have as complex a knowledge of the brain as they would like.
#ChaseForBook9
sherlock is tall, thin, brown hair and eyes. wears a blue long sleeved shirt and dark jeans. a very short beard. i am a penguin
Oh good lord... Aretha, do you think if we hit him hard enough...?
Well, I was actually going to go and crash for about 12 hours, but whatever you say. *eats the cheese and crackers*
#ChaseForBook9
TRIP, adra can tell you about the army
[hugs back]
[Shrugs]
I'll be back soon, Taia. Maybe even with more cake.
#ChaseForBook9
Ari would you like a description of me / my OC?
#ChaseForBook9
Alright then. *dries off her hands, walking back* out damned spot, I guess.
*goes to the register/safe/wherever Trip keeps his money, and puts the 3k in* Right...
*the wind howls outside* By the way, we're in. 4.5 level hurricane
Yeah, we've obtained an army with Zafira...
Oh... So that brisk walk I wanted to take is out of the question.
#ChaseForBook9
No, a hit wouldn't do it, but... *takes deep breath* I've been meaning to do this. *pulls knife from pocket and stabs in between Niccolo's ribs, burying the blade to the hilt*
((*hugs Fabi* Ok, then.))
#ChaseForBook9
*gives him a glare* Yep!
*hugs Fabi*
'kay :P
I'll see you. :) ^^
*raises her head*
I know. I've been waiting for commotion to stop, to request materials to start boarding the windows... ^^
#ChaseForBook9
((That'd be lovely, Rhydian, thanks! I'm just trying to get a more accurate picture of you guys in my mind.))
#ChaseForBook9
*takes a sip of her wine casually* I'm assuming you meant I do that, Aretha?
My OC is 6ft 4 (I irl am taller but didn't want to make him ridiculously big), average build, has dark brown hair, clean shaven, brown eyes and normally wears jeans and a t-shirt. He looks about 20 and ALWAYS has a crossed scabbard on his back, which houses two twin katanas made of metal that has been magically altered to become indestructible.
And he's an Elemental so yeah.
aretha, miy explanation is a few comments up
Oh. Also, I'm about 5'5"
*sinks to ground, coughing up blood*
#ChaseForBook9
Brb. Switching to the computer.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh don't worry Taia, It can withstand the impact of a nuclear bomb.
I zaf proofed it. *grins*
#ChaseForBook9
I must go... Now, actually. My next flight. OUR CAPTAIN IS BRITISH ONG
*cries*
Also. I will be back around 4-5 my time, 9-10 Ireland time
*walks briskly past Niccolo* Hurricane, you said? Let's get working on the windows. What can we use to board them up?
#ChaseForBook9
bye adra
*kneels next to Niccolo* Well... I think he's dying
@Trip: *laughs* If you're sure, fair enough. :P
@Adra: *laughs* See you. Have a good flight. :) ^^
#ChaseForBook9
Hopefully I will not crash. God forbid.
All right Adra. Bye!
English people live in America too. Just saying...
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Adra!
#ChaseForBook9
yeah
@aretha have you got everyone
It's just so cool!!!
*suddenly falls unconscious, falling to the floor*
Bye Adra! *hugs* Be safe!
#ChaseForBook9
*screams in annoyance*
WHY CAN'T EVERYTHING JUST BE OKAY IN THE DIRECTIONER FANDOM. WE ARE NEVERHAPPY. IT SUCKS TO BE A DIRECTIONER BECAUSE EVERYDAY WE WAKE UP TO MORE DRAMA. JUST AS SOMETHING IS SOLVED, SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE BOYS, I WOULD HAVE LEFT THIS FANDOM AGES AGO. WE HAVE OFFENDED SO MANY PEOPLE. HURT SO MANY PEOPLE. PUSHED THEM TO THE POINT OF CUTTING, AND WORSE. WITH ALL THIS ELOUNOR/LARRY DRAMA. LOUIS, AKA MANAGEMENT, KILLED A GIRL.
That's right. Killed. *dully*
@Skyleridk on Twitter tweeted Lou asking about Larry Stylinson (Harry and Louis' bromance that most people in the fandom push too far) and "Louis" aka Management said;
'@skyleridk Hows this , Larry is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard. I'm happy why can't you accept that.'
She killed herself a few days later because so many Directioners were sending her hate.
Directioners. You heard right.
Apparently we're a "family". Huh. Do families insult and hate on each other so much, that they want to end their life? Just like that? It's upsetting when you think about it. The only way to stop her pain was to end it abruptly. She was so scared, she couldn't tell anyone about it.
Larry and Elounor shippers are BOTH right, and BOTH wrong.
Yes, Larry shippers, it is true that Lou and Haz love each other very much.
No, Larry shippers, I do not think that they are lovers.
Yes, Elounor shippers, it is true that Lou and El are together.
No, Elounor shippers, it does not necessarily mean that they are in love.
I ship both. I ship Elounor. I ship Larry. I think that Management ARE too pushy, and that they might have gotten Eleanor in to stop any further feelings between Lou and Haz.
But I also think that Lou and El really are in love. Harry set them up, right? That's the story. Would someone who loved another person set that person up with someone else? I don't think so.
TBC
#ChaseForBook9
*a cat walks in and jumps on Dragona's shoulder*
*it looks at his ear and then goes MEOW*
(Just cause I can. :P)
But fighting like this, fighting with our family... *shakes head* *laughs bitterly* That's one thing you'll only ever find in the Directioner fandom. I bet that if you went into another fandom, they wouldn't fight so much that someone would want to die.
And, telling Lou's sisters that Larry is real and they're too ignorant to see that? His sisters? That is just sick.

"Some Larry shippers will really go as far as to tell someone to kill themselves for knowing the truth? That "Larry Stylinson" is not and never was real. That my brother isn't gay and neither are any members of one direction. I don't have a problem with homosexuals at all, but to repeatedly call someone gay after they've said multiple times that they aren't. And to be so sure you know their sexuality better than they do. You don't know Louis. You may think you do, but you don't. You may know some random facts about he and the other boys but you do not know them. I don't care how much you argue with me, you will never know my brother like I do. So when someone doesn't ask but TELLS me something they think they know about my brother, I usually find it funny that they think they know. But when it comes to his sexuality, I feel like I have to defend him even more because so many people question it an think its some sort if conspiracy. You can secretly ship Larry all you want but to actually think it is real is just stupid. I have not wanted to say this before because I know people ship Larry as a "bromance", but if you think Larry is real, I don't consider you an actual fan. You'd be more of a hater to me if you constantly call members of the band that you are a "fan" of gay when he has honestly denied all rumors regarding Larry and has said that its just a load of bullshit. If you're telling a REAL directioner, someone who supports the boys rather than hurting them, to kill themselves than you really don't deserve the attention that you're getting. You don't deserve to have your tweet or message seen by the boys. Because REAL fans have been trying and trying to get the boys to notice them by LOVING them, while you're calling them gay and getting their attention, but for the wrong reason. I'm just tired of all these people who think they know my brother when I know they never will."
It's sickening that these girls have to deal with people saying, "Your brother's gay." Surely Lottie, Daisy, Fizzy or Pheobe, of all people, would know the truth? -.-
STOP THIS LARRY/ELOUNOR DRAMA AND JUST LET PEOPLE BE HAPPY TO BE IN THE DIRECTIONER FANDOM.

((What? *hugs Mara*))
((I have everyone except Rhydian, I think. Thanks, everyone, by the way!))
#ChaseForBook9
I'm/Rhydian is tall, brown haired, pale blue eyes, pale-ish skin, wears jersey tracksuit bottoms and a plain T-shirt. Sometimes jeans with a shirt.
#ChaseForBook9
*kneels beside Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
Adra? Why you unconscious/possibly dead? What's going on?
#ChaseForBook9
I've got her. *picks up Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
Damn. Gotta go.
*hugs Mara*
I wish I could stay to reply to that but- :/
Bye all!
#ChaseForBook9
Wait, what? Adra? *runs over*
#ChaseForBook9
*sits by Adra* HEllo? Any idea what's wrong with her?
#ChaseForBook9
adra?
I think she just needs some rest.
#ChaseForBook9
Mara...What's wrong? I didn't get chance to read your comment properly. What's bothering you?
#ChaseForBook9
I WANT TO FUCKING SCREAM AT EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE
IT'S TIMES LIKE THIS I WISH I NEVER FOUND OUT ABOUT ONE DIRECTION. 😡 >:(
#ChaseForBook9
Why Mara? What has someone said or done to upset you?
#ChaseForBook9
Luce was right.
#ChaseForBook9
What do you mean Trip? Right about what?
#ChaseForBook9
Hello...?
#ChaseForBook9
Luci's usually right.
#ChaseForBook9
When I first pledged to forever help Mara through tough times, Luce said it would be too hard for me. Because Mara was too complex. I was foolish and brashly declared that no one was too complex for me to help and now... she was right.
And she's gone.
#ChaseForBook9
When I tried to persuade Luce not to go she said she was going and she told me to make sure Mara was okay. I'm going to try to my best. Mara you lost your sister but now you have me. Does that make me a brother? *thinks*
#ChaseForBook9
mara if i could help, i would
Well. All I know is I've failed.
I'm passing on the baton, Rhdian, please... do old me proud.
#ChaseForBook9
Mara I can't help if you won't tell me what's wrong.
#ChaseForBook9
I've got to go. bye. *goes downstairs*
#ChaseForBook9
Mara? If you wanna talk here...
rhydiansaint@gmail.com
I'm here to help. *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Trip!
#ChaseForBook9
bye trip
Luci isn't "gone".
Luci is in Florida for two weeks or so.
I never knew she said those things...
... Dammit. Her email.
*hugs Rhydian* Thanks, Rhy.
Sorry. I needed somewhere to let everything out.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Mara* If you ever need to talk then I'm here. Me don't like seeing people hurt. I read your comment and now I know why you're mad. It's okay-ish. Not really. I'm not helping am I? *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
got to go, bye
Bye Penguin!
#ChaseForBook9
It is a horrible thing when people start presuming someone else's sexuality. It must be hard for 1D's relatives to hear.
#ChaseForBook9
[hugs Mara tightly]
[really shouldn't be here right now, msd]
#ChaseForBook9
Very quiet...
#ChaseForBook9
Mara, I can't say I know just how you feel- I'm not in any fandoms that are so cruel to their own members. But if there's one thing I can understand, it's your love for your band. Forget the fandom- those boys have saved you, changed your life forever. They make you feel good in ways no one else ever has, and you love them so much for that. It's sad because they're so hard to meet and even harder to get close to, but you love them anyway. I can't explain why your fandom is like this, and I can't stop the hatred- we are only human beings, after all, and we can't eliminate pain, suffering, and hatred entirely. In your fandom it's been blown entirely out of proportion, and in regards to that all I can offer you is my condolences. But I can tell you that no matter how it hurts you, you know it's worth loving your band, even when you almost wish you'd never seen them. The best I can do is tell you to hold on to that- cling to what those boys mean to you, and how it will always be worth the pain. And remember that pain can't last forever, as much as it may seem to.
#ChaseForBook9
You have my email if you ever want to talk, too. I can't promise I'll make your problems go away, but I'll always listen, and I will always try as hard as I possibly can to understand and make you feel better.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Em*
Sometimes I wonder why I bother. I mean...
I get criticised just for being a Directioner. Every little thing I do is either laughed at or hated on. And I just.. don't know what to do anymore. I'm done. I'm done with it all. I can't do it anymore.
#ChaseForBook9
Mara listen to me. You like that band. I don't. Many others like that band. Many others don't. Don't let other people bother you. You love that band and that's all what should matter. *hugs* Everything will be fine...Trust me. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Ignore those people who insult 1D. I'm not a fan but I don't hate them. Anyone who does is just being a moron.
#ChaseForBook9
Yes you can do it Mara because they are your passion.
And there are bitches and higher arcey in all boyband fandoms. I was the exact same with Westlife. Having to deal with the bitches and slaggers just so I could enjoy my band.
Westlife still my life even though they are split up over a year. And I'm still proud to say I am a Westlifer because they were the most important 14 years of my life.
The lads saved me. Their music saved me. Meeting some of my best friends because of the lads, saved me.
Be proud of being a Directioner Mara but also be proud that you are being a Directioner the way you want to be it and not following everyone else's lead or rules.
@Maraness: Why can't you just love the band without talking to the fandom?
Will write more, but I have to finish doing this before I'm here.
#ChaseForBookNine
This is just something that I thought of off the top of my head- just an idea, so you can ignore it if you want, I promise I won't be offended if you do. But if being a Directioner is so painful, maybe you should join another fandom in addition, to balance out the pain. I'm a nerdfighter, and that always gives me something to smile about, even when I'm feeling awful. We even have a video for how to make positive prank calls, and those are just really uplifting! Maybe try to let something new into your life as a source of happiness, just to try and balance out the distress Directioners cause you? Again, just an idea.
#ChaseForBook9
Gtg now. Bye! See you all tomorrow!
#ChaseForBook9
msd, I'll be back later tonight
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry I poofed.
[Hums Family Portrait]
I really shouldn't be here.
[Hums Three Little Birds]
[Doesn't really have words right now]
[hugs Mara again and vanishes]
#ChaseForBook9
*still sitting on Dragona's shoulder*
Those are some adorable dogs... And I don't even like dogs very much!
Well..., they're ok.., but nothing compared to cats! :]
By the way, I don't see Michigan up there! Or Colorado, or Louisiana!
You forgot some!!!
I know some epic pictures..., but I don't have links for them >.>
I'm watching Hot Fuzz.
Have you ever read Les Miserables, Mr. Landy? I ask you because I am reading it now, and my paperback with the thinnest pages is the thickest paperback I've ever seen, and not to mention the size of the words ON those indredibly-thinner-than-paper-thin pages.
I'm mostly enjoying it a lot!
Only the beginning was dragged out a bit, and then there was this huge over-50 page section about the Waterloo, when all I really needed to know about it was one tiny event at the very end.
Other than that, Les Miserables is quite good.
@Maraness: I'm really happy that you're being awesome and seeing both sides of the argument here. :) You're not letting down on your awesomeness. :P
It's really good that you can see balance and both sides.
I think there are so many bitches in the Directioner fandom because it is so big. There is good and bad in every person, right? So beacuse there are more people, there is more badness. (However, there's also more goodness, even if it isn't showing itself atm. :/)
It's terrible that idiots are ruining something you love for you. However, that doesn't stop 1D being amazing and awesome.
You know what I said about there being good and bad everywhere?
You're focusing on the bad. T his may help and it may not, but - step back a second, and think about all the good things about being a Directioner. As well as showing yourself that it isn't all bad being one, thinking about good things also makes you feel happier. :)
Louis (and Harry, but it was Louis you were talking about) has got a lot of shit because of this Larry thing. But do you think he would be happier if he had never gone on the X Factor?
1D has brought him and his family a lot of happiness.
Yes, there's sadness as well, but nobody on the blog (that I know of) is famous, and a lot of them have lives that are absolute shit. Who says 1D wouldn't have had that if they're never been 1D? Maybe they'd have died in a car crash if they hadn't gone on the X Factor, anyway. Maybe one of them'd've committed suicide. You don't know.
Be glad that they're alive, and be glad for the happiness they have. :)
Same goes for their sisters.
I'm sorry it's affecting you so badly, Mara. But it'll sort itself out eventually. Maybe the end isn't in sight right now, but hey, I'm sure the end of the Second World War wasn't in sight, and that ended. Speaking of the Second World War, be glad 1D and their family weren't born then, and that Harry, Liam, Louis, Zayn and Niall didn't all have to go and fight, and that none of them died horrible slow deaths or went mad from it or got PTSD.
If I can think of a song to help, I'll type out the lyrics, but I may not get one.
#ChaseForBookNine
~sends Mr. Landy a slice from the loaf of snicker's cheesecake I made~
And yes, I DID type "loaf," as in bread, instead of pie. It's pretty epic....
See you later!
MY MUM WENT TO SEE THE FILM AND DISLIKED IT!!!! *waves flag* *is sort of proud, beacuse my mum's the only one I know who disliked it*
My friend's mums loved it, but on the other hand, they disliked The Hunger Games and my parents thought that was really good.
These are my friends I've had since Year Five, and they're not very like me. I think it says intersting tings about what sort of people we are and how we inherited tht from our parents. I can't be bothered to think out the interesting things, however. I' lazy. XD
HEY SKYRIL! HEY DRAGONA!
#ChaseForBookNine
Ever heard this song, by the way??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chtSh5fAnGw&list=PLB2F190F31CBDB9D4
Great Big Sea- good band.
Not as good as the PianoGuys- you know- or Steam Powered Giraffe, but a good band nonetheless.
*is scanning through my playlists to look for good songs*
Maybe Louis' family should go listen to Wings . . . :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Skyril: No, but I haven't heard of anyone. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star
lol, I haven't heard of many people, either... Until Derek Landy talked about possibly offering Justin Bieber to the volcano "gods" I hadn't heard of HIM, and everybody either loved or hated Justin Bieber :P
There's the second part of my Mass Effect fanfic up on the blog that I made for it.
http://masseffectfanfiction.blogspot.co.uk
Please take a look if you're not busy. :)
Sorry for the delay. I'm only kinda sorta here xD
@Maraness: Plus, if life was easy, it would be boring. Be glad you're experiencing so much. Experience makes us better people, and bad experiences teach us loads of things, so in a way, it could be good.
In Sunday School once, we watched parts of this film, and it was based on a true story (I know a lot of films say that, but it really was. At the end there were all these bad-quality videos of the real girl at awards ceremonies and that), and it was about this girl who was going to be a champion surfer. May have gone in for the Olympics or summat. She was, like, really good.
And then she got her arm bitten off by a shark, leaving just a stub by her shoulder.
I remember especially when she got home from hospital for the first time, and everyone was making lunch. And she tried to slice a sandwich in half but she couldn't, beacuse it kept slipping as she had no other ahdn to hold it steady. Then she tried to open a bag of crisps, but she couldn't. I'd forgotten what she tried to do enxt, but she couldn't do that either, an so she just had to stand there watching everybody else get lunch, unable to help, and it was really sad.
And she couldn't surf.
She couldn't balance on teh board with one arm.
Surfing was her LIFE. Her whole family surfed loads, and she had been this surfing champion. Surfing to her was like what 1D is to you, and she couldn't do it.
I'm crying writing this, incidentally.
And you can imagine, she was pretty damn depressed. You really ahve to see the film.
And then . . . and then she became a good Chritsian (duh. We were watching this at church), and she had lots of free time beacuse she was no longer constantly sufing and training and that, and she went aborad. She went to loads of poor places. We didn't see this in great detail, because we were running out of time, but she saw all these people who were far worse off than she was, and began to realise that she was actually very lucky, even though she did only have one arm. And she helped them out. SHe helped so many people and did loads of really good work.
And she eventually became a surfer again beacuse special surfboard, but that's not the point. The point is, she was being interviewed, and she was asked that if she could go back and change the past, if she could make her arm be not chopped off, would she? And she said, no. Because although it had been hellish, if she hadnt had it chopped off, she wouldn't have met the people she'd met, helped the people she'd helped, done the things she'd done, and she'd be a far less wise person wouldn't be nearly as good a person either.
And my point is, Maraness . . . Although you might hate the fact that your arm's missing, you coul dbe so grateful it happened later. *hugs*
True story, remember. Actual girl who it happened to.
#ChaseForBookNine
Love this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3sOA6yQc4A&list=PLB2F190F31CBDB9D4
@Skyril: *laughs*
Okay, I MIGHT have heard of him. XD
LOL, at the Brit Awards and that though, I have no clue who anyone is. XD
Although . . . If you mentioned metal, I'd probably know who and what you were on about. :)
I don't love or hate him. Or Marmite, for that matter. *laughs*
#ChaseForBookNine
*blinks, sitting up, next to Trip*
Could he have just set me down or something?
*remembers*
...Oh.
*hugs Skyril* SUP GIRL!
*sighs, standing to her feet, shaking out her foot which has fallen asleep*
Listen to Star. She's smart
This is a good one too:

Adra, you should have an invitation to the shunting experiment blog.
#ChaseForBook9

#ChaseForBook9
Oh good, you're here. I'm guessing this is the cellar?
Shunting experiment blog?
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah. I was going to take you up to the bed upstairs... But I kind of forgot. *smiles apologetically while rubbing the back of neck*
#ChaseForBook9
My collab idea. There's a blog for it now.
[Floats around and acts ghostly]
#ChaseForBook9
I believe I expressed an interest in it?
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah, I didn't invite you yet because I don't remember your email, if I knew it in the first place. You're defintely welcome to join, though.
#ChaseForBook9
*grins* That's fine. I had a good cushion.
Besides. *stretches* I have a demon to deal with. *heads for the stairs* Coming?
chuck.mooning@gmail.com
That's it.
#ChaseForBook9
Sure. *follows Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, I actually have time to read that now. Brb.
Your invite has been sent, Trip.
#ChaseForBook9
If you read the first part of the story and want to continue reading it, since all of the feedback on it that has been left has been good, you might want to continue the story with the second part that is up NOW.
Apparently I'm a bitch for standing up for myself?
Being in this fandom really has improved my self esteem.
*hugs everyone*
Thank you so much, everyone. I'm sorry.
#ChaseForBook9
Well that's good Mara. Let that fire burn. May it become strong, and whatever you do, never let it go out.
#ChaseForBook9
[hugs Mara]
Self-esteem is good. [nods]
Change, change your life, take it all
We're gonna stick together, know we'll get through it all...
[hums]
#ChaseForBook9
Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, uhm, the self esteem part was meant to be sarcastic :/
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry- yeah I'm here
@Skyril: . . .
YELLOW SHOWER CURTAINS HAVE TAKEN OVER YOUR BRAIN. *glares*
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HATE IT AS A GENRE.
You can hate some of it, I'm not denying that.
But you can't hate ALL of it.
It is NOT POSSIBLE.
Metal bands can do soft acoustic songs. *nods*
Or soft songs that aren't acoustic.
So if you don't like loud music, I have defeated your theory that you hate all metal.
If you don't like the anger . . . Then a large percent of the songs aren't even ABOUT that. Love, suicide, the state of the world, politics, drugs, the media, the fact you have to seize the day or die regretting the time you've lost, vampires . . . I'm looking at my Avenged Sevenfold playlist right now, there are five songs I can see and all of them are about the last five things I just mentioned, beacuse I was looking at them for insiration to write my list. XD
Seriously, some of the lyrics are just beautiful.
And some of the music is absolutely amazing. You don't like electric guitars and drums? Fine. Some of that is just incredible, and it's so amazing and beautiful, but we'll leave it be. I'll have you know that numerous Avenged Sevenfold songs include random string orchestras and otehr instruments (string orchestra were used twice in the songs I've playlisted so far), and they're just beautiful.
You're generalising.
People think that pop music is a load of crappy shit. Fair enough. I often generalise that generalisation too, then mentally tell myself off. But some of it is really very good. I can appreciate that. I listen to Capital when we're in the car and it's on because otehr people want to listen to it, and I soemtimes go hey, this is actually pretty cool. And I love Little Mix. That's pop.
Just because I don't like it in general doesn't mean I hate all of it.
You can't hate all metal.
It doesn't work like that.
I'm sorry, but it doesn't.
For another thing - genres ovelap. There are different types.
*sighs*
I'm sorry. It's just when you love something so much and people say they hate it without ever having listened to it as far as you know, it stings. If you've listened to it, fair enough.
Plus, I dislike hating. Whenever I hate somebody, I generally stop hating them later and feel sorry for them. I hate hatred. :P
*resists urge to tweak that sentence to describe that I don't actually hate it BUT*
And it seems to me that amazing people, some of which whom are DEAD (RIP Paul Grey, RIP the Rev. We miss you), don't deserve to have their lifes work hated.
I don't hate anyone else's music. I can dislike it, but ahting it is just rude.
(I'm really sorry for blowing up at you. I think I'm truning into Maraness . . . I don't dislike you any more than before and still think you've totally awesome, I just thought I'd correct you of your error.)
#ChaseForBookNine
(Maraness because of teh sticking up for music strongly thing. NOt for the blowing up thing. Jusr calrifying that.)
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Mara*
Yeah.
*peek outside* She's not here yet, but she will be...
Oh good. :)
Oh.... Sorry then, Mara.
#ChaseForBook9
Who will?
#ChaseForBook9
*lives'
#ChaseForBookNine
Msd, btw.
*hugs Maraness* Don't be sorry. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, and I'll say it to EVERYONE - don't EVER be sorry for sharing your problems here. We want to help. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey!
#ChaseForBook9
(Maraness doens't blow up at people. She sticks up strongly for One Direction, and she should be proud of that.
*is still facepalming for not making my intentions clear originally*)
#ChaseForBookNine
HEY SAPH! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Saph!
You died too?
#ChaseForBook9
[hugs Mara]
Sorry.
Hi Saph!
#ChaseForBook9
Yep XD
#ChaseForBook9
Lilith. My demon. She's coming
Hi everyone! Why are so many people dead?
#ChaseForBook9
Same as you, Saph. I was taken over by a demon and the act of killing said demon also killed me.
@Adra Oh. [Frowns worriedly]
#ChaseForBook9
Also
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
#ChaseForBook9
*draws angel sword* I'll be waiting.
Also Lilith? As in Gaia?
#ChaseForBook9
I have to go now. Bye!
Oh, dammit, I have to go :( Bbl. Bye!

Bye Dragona and Saph,
#ChaseForBook9
For me, listening to music is often like reading books. You get taken into a story and feel the character's emotions. Someone on YouTube said once that metal is 100% emotion. Films, books and art are all ways of telling stories and conveying emotion, and music is no different. I love music that raises questions, and music that tells stories, and music that has suffering and horrible emotions in it, and the last one if beacuse I like reading that in books as well. We like reading about our characters suffering, and how they're feeling terrified and heartbroken and horrified at themselves and all that. Well, I like doing that in music as well.
*will not shut up once I've started. Didn't give up on arguing Disturbed's case to my friend for quite a while. But she doesn't even get watching films and books with horribleness in them that tell you things about the world, so I failed. I'm very obstinate. My friend got her clip stuck down the drain thing, just the thing that the water from the shower in the changing rooms flows into, and I sat there obstinately fiddling with it using different stationary, refusing to give up, for quite a while, even though she said it didn't matter, because I wanted to go it. I refused to believe that it wasn't possble. I do stuff like that. Everyone's moaning at me to give it up but I won't, because I believe I can do it, and I don't want to stop beacuse it feels like failure. I really dislike anyone helping me with anything, like DS games or artwork or that, beacuse then when it's completed I won't have the pride of knowing I've done it myself. I always tell people they can't help, I want to do it all myself so I can feel proud at the end. I want to cpomplete things, I guess. I want to succeed. I don't like pointless games where you just do it fopr the fun of it. I'm only interesting if there's levels to complete or an online leaderboard. I need to complete things. It's the way I am*
#ChaseForBookNine
I have no idea, sorry Sherlock. *sips some holy water*
