Hello Minions.
In case you missed it on my Twitter page, @DerekLandy, I shall repeat what I have twittered-tweeted-whatever, here...
Are you ready for the Year of the Requiem to kick into high gear?
End of the week, the mystery deepens.
You think you might know the identity of Prisoner 270914, but do you have any idea of the danger you, yes YOU, are in? And how much YOU will be needed to stop him?
This Friday, will you take one step closer to finding out?
But tomorrow... TOMORROW we have something you've been waiting for. You've been waiting a LONG time for this. Since the series began... since you started your journey...
Tomorrow, at 4PM on my blog, I will reveal the cover to The Dying of the Light.

«Oldest ‹Older 3601 – 3800 of 4739 Newer› Newest»Amber: *barks and tries to follow Sil, whimpering*
I apologize profusely, of course. I only meant to tease. But it was very rude of me, and for that I apologize.
*goes to the floor and strokes her* its going to be okay...come one, I have treats for you!)
Hmm. I find it a fun stylistic choice for fanart, such as neko versions of non-neko characters, but I've never considered myself a fan of it. I'm not sure what there really is to be a fan of.
(well, there is a comic I like called two kinds, where I got inspiration for Inkys semi wolf form
I like watching tribute videos on youtube and such)
Hey! got my laptop back! only thing is, he disabled my webcam and USB port :( But yeah, I'm back full time, hello everyone! *hugs everyone tightly* I missed you guys.
I don't have weird fandoms, I have weird ships.
*hugs everybody*
(Apology accepted m'lady. I hope you are well.)
*tacklehugs Chi*
Hey! c:
Chione! Welcome back! Is there anything I can get you? Tea? Coffee? The blood of old gods?
(Chi! *huggles* how art thou?)
CHU OMFG FINALLY JUST IN YIME FOR MY BDAY CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CJI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHI CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII *tacklehugs*
Hmm. Ships.
Well, if you don't count the HMS Midnight Hotel . . .
*ba-dum TSH*
. . . I have many ships. I have only four OTPs, however, for TV, anime, books, and games. I suppose they are weird, in their own way.
And I am very well. Thank you for asking.
Birthday?
Happy birthday, Silente! I'll have to find you a suitable present.
Not yet clara, tomorrow. Sil left rp because..well her birthday is always bad luck so she always hides on her birthday.
There is a certain deity who would like me to express his displeasure at one of your offers to Chi earlier, Anni.
Hello Blakey how are you???
(Blake! how art thou?)
Ah, I see. Bad things seem to happen during all the happy occasions in Blogland. And the sad ones, also. Really, bad things happen all the time.
Well, a very merry un-birthday then. I'll find you a present, and, as a gesture of friendship, it won't even hurt you.
Also Guardians of the galaxy is out on DVD I think!!!!
*stammers and begins to sweat*
Wh-why Blake, I certainly didn't mean . . . I meant . . . of course . . . when I say "old gods," I mean . . .
*gulp*
I be good, but distant.
I'm touched Clara. Truely.
(PITCH PERFECT TRAILER
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBwOYQd21TY)
Yes, the blood of gods...I would be drinking my own golden blood. That would be quite weird. I'll have...a slushie?
*hugs Silente as tightly as she can* I'm a great Birthday present aren't I? *laughs*
*He seems to be listening to the air for a moment*
He says the ignorant stammering of mortals are of no real concern to him.
...
I think that means you're safe.
Yes but you came a day early Chi ;)
*crushes her in a hug*
*screw siltc leaving*
*sails to slushie island*
*slays a slushie dragon*
*sails back to Chione, red slushie in hand*
*bows a sweeping bow and holds out the slushie on a silver platter*
Compliments of the Majestic Pirate Crowley.
(ANYONE LIKE THE SONG 'SECRETS' BY THE PIERCES?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2qknUPbuok)
Which means i'll be on almost all day for your birthday tomorrow my darling imoto-chan *pats her head* I am going to my school Christmas fair tomorrow. But only the morning. I'll be back in the afternoon.
(Poofed again... Sorry guys!)
(hEY vELV! YOU NEED TO DED!)
I do, in fact, love that song.
*Pulls Chi into a tight embrace and kisses her*
That's fine Chi. I'll be out a lot of the day as my IRL friends are kidnapping me.
Thank you Clara! *takes the slushie and drinks it happily, obviously not getting brain freeze, that would be silly. For an ice Goddess.*
How is everyone? Tia, Clara, Sil, Blake, Chloe, Vel?
(Im great Chi ^^ you?
*drools over laughing jack*)
Tia, I love gaurdians of the galaxy, I need it on DVD...maybe I should get it for my birthday. Which is in 13 days. It's so close! *dances happily* I mean..i have to write a timed essay for English on my birthday and it's the only day where I have no free periods, apart from Tuesday...but yeah...i'll try to be happy... I'll probs fail though. Today was horrible...
*Kisses Blake back* Hello honey ^.^
Yeah, better now thanks Chloe...but today was a bad day...

*the ocean explodes violently*
Deep, Terrifying, Booming Voice: ANNIKA.
*gasps in horror*
I-I'm not Annika! I am the Majestic Pirate Crowley!
Voice: ANNIKA, YOU HAVE TO DO THE DISHES.
But-
Voice: THERE WILL BE TIME FOR PIRACY WHEN THE DISHES ARE CLEAN.
. . .
Voice: DON'T MAKE ME COUNT TO THREE.
. . .
. . . Blogland, I must go. Mom is calling me. I'll try to be back later.
*leaves, muttering curses in an ancient language*

im doing this quiz on what metal song fits me, and the question is:

one of thw answers is dancing (vertically or horizontally))
ANYWAY this is cause for celebration!!!
*huggers the maple pole*
*strings up the streamers*
*releases the balloons*
*and pumps up the frozen!*

Would anyone like to roleplay?
(...where are Sil and CHi and do they mind if I join)
(I'm ok and hello Fabi! How are you?)
(*a hole in reality tears open and i pop out* Hello....)
Of course i do, wouldn't be a very good sister if i didnt!
*takes a glass, knowing it won't melt in her cold hands*
Hey guess what, I got a power boost!
(Rhosssssss *huggles tightly* hey sweetie ^^)
(All can join in! Just in the clearing!)
(((A/N Hello Tia. I'm in a sort of peculiar mood right now... You?)))
Hello Garrett.
(okay ^^)
*walks into the clearing* hey guys *chirps*
*holding cider behind her back*
(
(Whoow! Here's a little song for everybody out there)
People try to take my soul away,
but I don't hear the rap that they all say
They try to tell us we don't belong,
that's alright, we're millions strong
This is my music, it makes me proud,
these are my people and this is my crowd
[Chorus:]
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
Sometimes days are so hard to survive,
a million ways to bury you alive
The sun goes down like a bad bad dream
You're wound up tight, gotta let off steam
They say they can break you again and again,
if life is a radio, turn up to ten
[chorus repeats 2x]
And they try to tell us that we don't belong
But that's alright, we're millions strong
You are my people, you are my crowd,
this is our music, we love it loud
Yeah, and nobody's gonna change me,
'cos that's who I am
[chorus repeats out] )
Hey Flick! I can smell the cider!
*blushes* I was getting rid of it...
Gar! *tacklehugs him*
(Chloooe! *huggles tightly* hello darling, how be you?)
(Hello Fabi, how be you?)
(Hello everyone, how be you all?)
Sure you were!
Chi! I'm more powerful! Derek confirmed that vamps keep their magic after the change. I didn't surge. I AM SUPER POWERFUL! MWAHAHAHA!
[She strides across Blogland]
[She's been in a fight recently. Her braid is considerably messier than normal, and there's a gash on her forehead and a tear in her coat, on the inside of her left elbow. It reveals a symbol tattooed into her skin, vaguely resembling an hourglass]
was too...people think I need to quit and well...
(*nuzzles Rhos* I suddenly felt better than I did ^^)
(I'm ok but kinda distant, sorry.
Heya, Gar! How are you?)
(*nuzzles Chloe* awwww that's good Chlo)
(Hello Chi *is tacklehugged* how be you?)
(Hello Tia, I'm happy thank you Bro.)
Flick as great as it would be for you to quit you aren't fooling me.
*looks at Kennedy*
You smell of blood.
[She stops and raises an eyebrow]
Is it bothering you?
(shall we rp sweetie? ^^)
dammit *looks at cider* I guess one sip wouldn't hurt...
*smiles at everyone*
*pours the vodka*
*to flick* well it will but that won't stop you.
*to Kennedy* its making me a tad hungry but I presume the blood ISNT an invitation to eat you?
*sits next to Chi* how are you? *starts drinking raspberry cider*
*smiles at Chi*
Thank sis.
*knocks back the shot, downing it in one*
Mmm.
I'm better, Thank you Chloe.
(sure thing Chloe darling *smiles*
Gar and Tawnee are in the hospital and Gar has called for assistance, so do you want to do the doctor?)
*downs the shot*
*pours another round*
I'm so glad you're back..
How's the twins?
Did you miss me?
Nah course you didn't.
(can you please? because im rping two people and doing various other things ^^ if you don't mind?)
*downs a lot of cider*
*hiccups*
Haha, no.
[Her hand glows with an aqua-blue light and she presses it to her forehead]
[The skin heals]
That better?
*holds up her glass*
A toast! To Chi, may she spend much more time here! And may i one day manage to beat her!
whhhooo! *raises cider can*
Much. Thank you Kennedy.
(Is Kennedy the one who threw her shoes away cause Sil claimed they offended her?)
I think the twins are fine...I haven't seen them. Of course I missed you sis *hugs her tightly*
*downs her second round*
(yup i can do that *smiles* )
Dr: *runs over* what's the problem?
my girlfriend, she is in labour....
Dr: right ok, this way please *walks towards an empty bed*
*follows and puts Taw down on the empty bed*
Dr: right, *to Taw* lets get you to the maternity ward *starts pulling the bed towards a lift*
*continues following the Dr*
Sis...you'll never beat me, let's face it *grins* But thank you.
*downs her second shot*
Hey yes I will! As I was saying, I'm more powerful than you know! *winks* you forget I keep many secrets.
*hiccups*
*laughs uncontrollably* I I have...t two werewolves I in my cottage!
Tawnee: *the pain increases* oh god...*screams in agony*
*Blake stands with his hands in his pockets, happily listening to the people around him*
*A low whistling sound suddenly comes from off in the distance, getting louder and louder*
*Blake's eyes widen and he tries to duck, but the object slams into him at full speed. They make a line through the ground that stretches a good thirty feet before coming to a stop*
*A high pitched squeal, accompanied by a lot of loud protesting from Blake, can be heard among the rubble*
*rushes to Blake's side, looking at him*
Uh..?
Dr: we're almost there, just hold on *leads the bed through a set of double doors and into a room* *looks at Gar* i need you to carefully lift her over and put her on this bed *gestures to the new bed*
Me: ok *carefully lifts Taw and moves her across*
Dr: *gets some help*
*2 nurses walk in* *he looks at Taw* are you ready to deliver your baby(ies?)
*watches what happened and laughs*
(hehe its just the one ^^)
Tawnee: *sweats and nods*
*squeezes Gars hand*
((I don't recall that happening, and it doesn't really sound like her, so probably not...?))
*A woman, seemingly no older than her late twenties or early thirties with fiery red hair and a lean yet powerful build, is latched on to Blake's middle in a tight embrace*
*Blake appears to be struggling against her, it's hard to tell since he's not making much headway. No matter how hard he pulls the woman's arms remain tightly around him*
???: Oh my god it's really you I heard you wer-
Get offa me!
???: Wha-? Oh. Oh right...
*The woman removes herself from Blake and they stand up, Blake brushing the dust off his cloak*
What are you doing here..?
???: Coming to see my little brother of course!
(*shudders, remembering Sil's two experiences with being a midwife* *and remembering how micj she wanted to throttle Blake*)
*raises an eyebrow*
You have a sister?? OH DO I GET TO GREET HER??
(ok *nods* )
*hand is squeezed* that's it just squeeze my hand
Dr: Right, here it comes
are you ready, when i say push you need to push, ok
PUSH!!
Nuh uh no! no greeting v vampy!
Tawnee: *screams*
Yes... I have a-
???: Hi! I'm Kaitlin! Aren't you just adorable!? *She crouches down next to Sil and grabs her cheeks, squishing her as one would a child*
...
and that's why I never talked about her.
awwwwwww t that's cute *giggles*
Dr: that's it, keep pushing...
Tawnee: *squeezes gars hand even more tightly*
*screams more*
*sweats a lot*
*isn't sure how to react*
*dont bite the sister don't bite the sister don't bite the sister don't bite the sister*
Uh hi...let go.
*the words are a bit fuzzy cause her cheeks are being attacked*
[She nods and takes a step backward, frowning and tilting her head]
(anyone like rock of ages?)
Gar: *resists the urge to swear like a sailor* ahhhh your kinda crushing my hand......
Dr: *a head pops out* we've got the head! Just one more big push....
Kaitlin: *Seems a bit taken aback by Sil's cold response. She lets go and stands back up*
*Blake puts a hand to his forehead and shakes his head, prompting a slap on the back that sends him flying forward*
Kaitlin: So, he said he never talks about me huh? Typical. *Whispers into Sil's ear* He just doesn't want to talk about how he's never beaten me. I'm sure you all know how proud my little Blakey is.
Tawnee; *continues to scream*
*rubs her cheeks*
*grins*
Oh your little Blakey is VERY proud.
*has decided she likes Kaitlin despite the idiotic cheek attacking*
B b blakey? *goes into hysterics*
Dr: *baby pops out and starts crying* its a girl / boy?
Gar: you did love, you did it *smiles*
*Gets up, so stunned that she can't talk*
Tawnee: *breathes heavily*
*smiles and cries at the same time*
(girl)
Kaitlin: *Has decided she likes the little girl, though has a hunch she's not as little as she looks* So this is Blogland huh? I heard rumors that Blake had come this way. Didn't know if he would still be here... My little brother is a hard guy to find when he doesn't want to be found.
*Blake groggily walks back to the girls, rubbing his back*
Kaitlin... tone it down a bit if you wouldn't mind...
Kaitlin: You have No idea how fast I was running to get here. *She grins sweetly and lets out a large sigh. Her entire body seems to relax and her hair becomes a duller, less startling shade of red*
(Yay!)
Dr: congratulations, its a baby girl *carefully hands her over to Taw and smiles*
Gar *looks at the little baby girl* awwww *Smiles*
Dr: do you have an idea for her name?
*looks at the little girl and smiles up at Gar* Coraxia (is that how you spelt it?)
*watches the hair*
Huh. Cool. Well I presume that means you haven't heard about his MANY achievements..
Hmm..
Hey Blakey, why not fill her in on your gal and her beautiful beauties?
[There's a sound, faint but unmistakeable.]
[She turns and runs.]
*feels like fainting and is a little bit tipsy*
S-sis-ter...
*moves to Chi's side, steadying her*
(Yup, that's how you spell it and awwww)
*smiles* that's a lovely name
Dr *nods head in agreement*
Me: I'll be just a minute *goes out a gives Inky a call*
Tawnee: *cradles Coraxia * awwww
*answers phone* h h hello?
*Puts an arm around Chi, both steadying her and making sure Kaitlin knows who he's talking about*
Kaitlin: Blake? What's the little girl talking about..?
Kaitlin, this is my wife. Chione, this is my sist-
Kaitlin: BIG sister.
... My big sister Kaitlin. Oh and I have two kids.
Kaitlin: *Her jaw just about hits the floor before she starts freaking out*
Its me, I'm just letting you know Tawnee has given birth and we're in the hospital right now if you want to swing by and see little Coraxia.
*laughs at Kaitlins reaction*
Surprise.
*moves to Kaitlins side, walking round her, trying to sum her up*
Hmm..
*screams* omigod omigod!!!!! Tawnee has had a baby!!!!
*troes to run but stumbles*
Kaitlin: *Abruptly stops freaking out as she notices Sil pacing around her* Umm... what's the little girl doing..?
Oh she's just sizing you up.
Kaitlin: Like... sizing me up how?
Oh you'll see. This is gonna be hilarious.
I thought there was a 'no greeting siblings' rule?
*stops circling, stood toe to toe with Kaitlin*
Calm down Inks....
Blake...go get the twins quickly.
*gets breathing under control*
Okay
*quietly slips away from the others*
*gets breathing under control*
Okay
*quietly slips away from the others*
*His brow furrows*
Okay...
*He sinks into his shadow, popping up a moment later with Lucas and Lira in his arms*
Lira sweetie please stop pulling at daddy's hair he likes it how it is oh jeez Lucas don't lean back like that I've only got two arms... *he continues to ramble on and on*
Kaitlin: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW They're so adorable! *She dashes over to the twins, tickling and cooing and adoring them*
I'll see you shortly *hangs up and goes back into the room*
Hello love and little Coraxia *smiles*
*siiiiigh*
*smiles at the twins and leans against a tree, watching the family reunion*
(Oh no by all means Sil go on ahead and greet her.
You did hear the part where Blake has never beaten her, yes? Of course that was before he became the host of Erebus.)
Tawnee: *yawns* tired
*holds Coraxia close*
Coraxia : *makes a little noise*
*smiles*
*thinks for a moment*
*the twins have like 4 aunts*
(Its fine Blake. It's more important that Chi meet her..)
(Well it's not like I can greet her, not without the outcome being 100% predetermined and what fun is that?)
*arrives at the hospital*
(Shhh. Chi is saying hello. That's more important.)
*slips between the trees to give the family some privacy*
*smiles* awww *walks over and smiles*
this is one of the best days ever,
nine months of waiting and here we are (not literal nine months) .
Tawnee:*sniles* she is so tiny....
Do you want to hold her?
I am here!
Ok *smiles*
*looks over to the door* Hello inks, you made it *smiles*
*looks for sil*
*can't see her*
Silente?
*looks back at the drinks and ice-cream and blushes, that isn't really something you want a new sister-in-law seeing*
*melts the vodka glasses and uses a river of water to hide the ice-cream and bottle behind a tree*
*enters* hey... Congrats!
Tawnne: thanks... This is little Coraxia
*gets teary* awwwww
*checks the time on her phone and swings up into a tree, climbing to the top most branches and perching there*
*closes her eyes and lays back*
Kaitlin: Oh is that the little girls name? *Looks around* Huh... I wonder where she went. *Shrugs and goes back to playing with the twins*
*whimpers at the scenes playing on her lids and sighs, standing up*
*runs and throws herself to the next tree, then the next and the next, shedding energy, bringing her sigils to light to shed even more energy*
*smiles* if you want to you can be aunty Inky?
Really? Thanks... It's be an honour
Tawnee: *coos the baby*
No worries *smiles*
happiest day ever....
Tawnee: our little Coraxia ....
*runs faster, snapping the branches now, running just ahead of them as they start to fall, a glowing blue blur in the tree tops*
Kaitlin: *Sighs and tickles the twins under the chin one more time before standing up to her oh-so imposing height of 5'8"* So, what's it like around here? What do you guys do?
Well, I think that "little girl" was about to show you one of the things we do best...
Kaitlin: You said "little girl" all weird, what am I not getting?
I'm sure you'll see.
Kaitlin: *Glares at Blake and pouts*
*stops, panting, sitting down again in a tree top near the clearing, just a glowing blue figure*
*growls at her own thoughts*
(And again... I'm fine Chi, thanks for asking and it's nice to meet you! Inky, what do I need to "ded"?
(You have to dedicate the page to anything you want if you comment first ^.^)
*looks at Taw* could i hold her please?
(My ded......
i ded to Fez's because they're cool
i ded to bullet for my valentine because their music is really good
i ded to motionless in white because their song reincarnate is also really good
and finally (best for last)
I ded to all you people on the blog because your all Awesome in your own different ways,
like Chloe, She is just awesome and I'm really lucky to be with her *smiles*
Ded ends....
*fireworks fire off making pretty colours on the sky*
)
(Awwwww hear hear sweetheart)
Tawnee: of course *xarefully hands the baby to him*
(Cool, thanks, suppose there's not much point doing that anymore! *sad face*)
(You still can)
(Yeah Velv,
you just ded the previous page *smiles* )
*carefully accepts the baby* thank you *looks at little Coraxia* awwww, you are the cutest baby ever!
*sighs and drops down, swinging from the branches towards the floor*
Coraxia/ *wraps tiny hand around Gars finger*
Awwww look at that *smiles*
I dedicate the previous page to all of the people I have met here in the last couple of days, they have been so welcoming and I love my newfound family to bits already! Hugs all around!
(Hear hear Velv!)
*smiles and looks at Taw* you're going to be a great mother
*looks back at Coraxia* hehe, you've got my finger *smiles*
Tawnee: you are going to be a great dad *smiles* I'm surprised you haven't manly cried yet...
Kaitlin: *Suddenly dashes up to Sil's side, a gust of wind tearing up the trees in her wake* Hey there. My brother said you wanted to show me something? *Her hair is a deep red, and a slight steam seems to be coming off her body*
(Hear hear Velv)
*smiles* thank you *carefully hands Coraxia back to Taw* i don't manly cry, i sweat through my eyes that's all....
(Thanks Inky!)
(And Garr!)
*jumps slightly*
Uh, he did?
*is looking at her hair*
*its a nice colour*
*she prefers it vibrant than dull*
*it probably drains her energy though*
*then again she seems to vibrate energy*
(What's going on then? Who's doing what?)
Tawnee*holds the baby* of course...*yawns*
I think Taw needs some rest
(when there is so much back story, you don't even know how to join)
Kaitlin: Yeah, something about a greeting. He said it'd be fun. *She puts her hands on her hips and leans against a tree* *smiles at Sil*
I think so too)
*smiles* I'll leave you to it hon,
I'll go prep Coraxia's room
(Velv: I'm not sure what Sil and Blake are doing
and Inky and me are in the hospital, because Gar's girl friend Tawnee had a Baby)
*half smiles back*
I uh- maybe some other time? I'm not really in the mood for playing with fire..you seem nice and all but, well, over active brain going down dark roots again.
Kennedy stops running at the top of a hill. A man is leaning against a boulder.
He nods in greeting. "You're late."
She sits cross-legged on the ground and "Your watch is thirty-two minutes fast. I'm early."
He glances down at his wrist, then pulls out another watch from his pocket. "So it seems. Care to share how you found that out?"
Kennedy shrugs and begins undoing the braid in her hair. "We'll see. I think we have other matters to talk about, though. Perhaps a certain incident in Naples last Tuesday?"
"Oh, was that you hiding behind that silver Fiat?"
Kennedy laughs. "No, I was in New Zealand at the time, visiting my cousin Emily."
"You haven't got a cousin Emily."
"Nevertheless, I was in New Zealand."
"Oh, please. How is this going to work if you two keep trying to out-secret each other?"
Kennedy and the man whose name I really need to mention both turn to see the woman who has come in. She's very tan and has short dark hair pulled back with a bandana.
"Hi Gladys."
"Hey Gladys."
Gladys grins. "Hey. The others should be here shortly. We have a lot of talking to do."
I'll watch over them while you do Gar *smkles *
Tawnee: *hands baby to Inky*
*falls asleep*
*coos the baby*
(( [waves to Velvet and Ben] Hey, y'all, nice to meet you. ))
Kaitlin: Oh... What's wrong? *Her hair darkens and steam stops rising from her shoulders*
(I agree with you Ben! Hi Kennedy!)
*shrugs*
Stuff.
*leans against the tree*
Anyway, nice to meet you, I'm Silente Tempest.
Still in the process of reading comments (I've got about 200 more to go :P), but -
*hugs Elleni*
Thank you for sharing. :) I appreciated it and it's in the stuff in my head that I think about now. :)
@Fay: I don't know what to say . . . except to share the story that I normally share in these circumstances, which I have saved somewhere hang on . . .
"I was, one day, standing in a corridor waiting to go into a classroom, as one does from time to time when one goes to school. And there was this thing on the wall where a student had written a little paragraph about how great GCSE geography was, because the school puts little paragraphs like these up. Although you know, when reading them, that the kid has probably just babbled a load of rubbish because the school told them to and have possibly made half of it up. Anyway, it said the name of the girl who wrote this in a corner, and there was also a picture of her, and she was so pretty. Seriously. Like - -_-. And I thought, you know, I bet she doesn't think she's pretty. And I looked at her face and I imagined I was her looking in the mirror, and tried to desconctruct it as I thought I would if it were my face. And then all of a sudden she didn't look very pretty to me at all. It was rather scary. So I hurriedly tried to remember what was pretty about her, but I can never quite see her looking as pretty to me as she used to look . . .
So when you see your face, you have to remember it looks better to everyone else than it does to you, and that if you look at it the correct way, pretty people don't look as pretty as you think they do.
Furthermore, prettiness is all perspective. People see different things as being pretty. Society just has this specific definition of what pretty is, and most people follow that instead of forming their own opinions, and seriously, who wants to listen to society? We all know how fucked up it is.
If you listen to society enough, all it will tell you is that you're not good enough.
Listen to people whose opinions you actually value.
Like ours, hopefully.
And we'll tell you you're awesome, because you are. :)"
Also - you're awesome. And whatever you look like won't change that. :)
Anyway, fun fact about me, I've never had a cursh before. Apparently it is unusual but not unheard of for people to have their first crushes when they're seventeen or so, so I'm planning on holding off on the aromantic label for a few years, but there you go.
On that subject, if you ever doubt something about yourself, I seriously recommend looking it up, because yes, I've had my overreacting moments, but now I've discovered asexuality - whether I'm actually asexual or not, I'm so glad I discovered this because my life is just so much . . . better. It's like that night where I woke up and I felt ill and I went to get a glass of water, and then I wnet back to bed and went to sleep and had a dream that I woke up and was ill and went to get a glass of water (:P), and see, the thing is, in this dream, I felt TERRIBLE. I was so ill, urgh. Everything was kind of red and black adn swirling and I just couldn't really walk properly because I was so ill ugh . . .
But then at the end of the dream, everything suddenly CLEARED and went blue (not really blue, the light just looked clear and whie and blue in comparison to how it was before), and it felt so light and so . . ., liberating, and at that moment I realised how sucky it had been before.
And then I woke up. :P
(what happened, I think, was that I had been asleep with my mouth closed and my nose had been blocked and so I hadn't been able to breathe properly . . . and then at the end, I'd opened my mouth and been able to breathe properly. But that's beside the point).
The point IS, my life is just so much better and there's just a . . . lack of worry and I didn't even realise that the worry was THERE, but now I'm going around without it it feels great. :)
So yeah. :P
ALSO, as of tonight, I've seen Mockingjay Part 1. And it was brilliant. That's all I'm saying. :P
Ok, thank you Inks,
