Is it madness?

So I know I just posted that Ask Me Anything meme, but I wanted that to be it's own separate entry that I can link to in other entries. (Click to ask me a question about whatever you'd like, or even make a photo request.

The Voice was alright. I have no idea why they spent the last 20 minutes of the show on one battle though. I mean really. They did at least THREE drive-by battles. They could have I dunno SHOWN THOSE INSTEAD? We fast-forwarded through all of the family history stuff to the actual battle, which neither of us even liked. e_e They were singing Brave, but neither of them had the right voice for it. They were singing in two low of a key or something and I was just cringing my way through the song. They weren't even singing what they were singing poorly, but what they were singing wasn't right.

I am so tired, but I wanted to write about the most recent episode of Lost Girl.
So... this isn't my favorite episode. Zombies! Zombies are good right? That's fine. I wonder if it's original air date would have put it near Halloween...

Mostly I want to talk about Kenzie though. I love Kenzie. She's my favorite character.

Poor Kenz. T_T
First off, FAMILY THAT YOU DON'T EVER TALK TO AND TREATED YOU LIKE CRAP RANDOMLY SHOWING UP NUUUU Y WOULD U DO THAT. I mean, I understand that Hale was trying to be sweet. But there's erm, a lack of thinking through on at least the part of the writers as to why Hale would invite them in the first place. I'd like to give Hale a little more credit than that, so I'm side eyeing the writers here.
I mean, Scottie had wanted to ask my mom before he married me, if he hadn't been in a different state at the time he would have done it more officially. As it happened mom saw me talking to him over IM about it, and she gave her blessing (haha, I'm sure she's thrilled that she did that now, not that saying no would have done her a damn bit of good, it just would have lost me that much sooner). Her blessing was more of just a courtesy of course, it wouldn't have stopped either of us if she'd said no. But still, neither of us had good parents and yet Scottie wanted to do the special thing, so I can at least understand where Hale was coming from.

What did Kenzie's dad-thing do, nope nope nope cats cats cats ABANDON SHIP

Thank you Loki, I'm going to live vicariously though you.

I am so glad that Kenzie tossed the family though, and didn't let her mom hit her. It is not worth keeping those kinds of people.

Still I felt bad for Hale. I think he was just trying to do the proper thing and it messed up his proposal because the parents are awful people. It didn't ruin the proposal but it certainly didn't work out the way he'd wanted it to.

The end with Druid made me SO ANGRY. That whole scene just made me angrier and angrier as it went on. After it was off I was like I WANT TO TEAR OUT DRUIDS HEART AND SHOVE IT DOWN HIS THROAT. (possibly one of my kinder thoughts)

I don't know why Bo couldn't save Hale though using the trick she used on Dyson. I mean, sure, she couldn't do it with only Kenzie I get that, and I get that she wouldn't sacrifice Kenz for Hale. No matter how much Kenzie might have wanted to die for Hale, Bo wouldn't want that and shit Hale wouldn't want it either I'm sure. I would not want to be brought back at the expense of Scottie.
But couldn't Bo have snagged some Chi from other people around, there had to be someone. Scottie and I were both like "there must be some people around that you could kill", and it's even possible that she wouldn't have had to kill them. I would kill everyone for those I love. It's not even a question.

I think the only reason she couldn't save him was specifically so she could go back to the underworld as it was said she would in an earlier episode. Which isn't the best reason for this to happen.

I was in a really good mood earlier, I just realized that's probably the reason I've become an irritable bag of cats. I was confused as to why I was so twitchy until I thought about what I wanted to post. xP

These aren't even my normal cats wtf

Just a quick post tonight, because it is late and I have an interview tomorrow, so I should try to not be a zombie for it. Or a so-tired-she-seems-drunk person. I'm not like, super excited for the position, but it would be more appropriate than my current one and I could use the pay increase.

Going to be channeling Loki tomorrow!

Loki, please grant me your silvertongue... wait that sounds dirty. But erm, that would also be true. *koffs*


In other news, watched the Voice tonight. Not terribly excited about any of them, and I thought "The Man" was an awful song choice for anyone. I already don't like the song because whenever I hear it on the radio they start off with him doing this little mini-interview "I wrote this song because REASONS and I got tired of that really fast.
I wish they hadn't relegated the "Hey Brother" song to a drive by clip. I think I would have liked it. Plus someone on twitter made a silly thing between Thor and Loki for that song, and so it amuses me. Mind you, I don't know most of the words to the actual song.

Caught up on some Lost Girl, we're a few episodes behind. I watched the one where Bo is connected to Dyson's memories. This is my favorite episode of the season so far!
I can't argue with this.

Yes please

Also highly amused by Bo!Dyson, and her reactions to ~scientific research~. (This reminded me of my twitter RP actually, eheh *koffs*) Also, when Lauren heard Bo mumbling and came over all worried and Bo was like 'bewbs'... that's totes me and Scottie is Lauren. lol

Twitter RP is going well and is very fun. Gif somewhat related to todays fun. xD

my lady was much more enthusiastic though

So here is the second half of my welcome photoshoot for Viperine! I had a bit of fun with this. Although I do feel a bit bad, sorry new lj friends! I do post more than just dolly theatre around here. xD

I mean there's also this adorable guy. No wait, that's not what I meant to say FOCUS TANYA FOCUS~

ANYWAY ON TO THE DOLLS~
The previous teaser had Rochelle peaking in Viperine's box. Now they've met!

Rochelle: Hello darling!

( the gargoyle and the gorgon )


Viperine: I see you.

Viperine/Rochelle is my now my favorite headcanon pairing along with Venus/Abbey. lol I'd actually been thinking of pairing Rochelle with Duece because of the gorgon issues of turning others to stone, but he's already paired to Cleo and I'm fine with the canon pairing. This works out well for me. ehehehe, I'm such a dork. xD

So for tv rambles! SO MUCH TV TONIGHT OMG.

First off I watched the Voice, tonight was the last of the blinds. I missed Adam's last pick since the show ran over, and we were recording two other things that started then. We'll see whoever it was later though, so it's not critical. I am sad that nobody has really pulled me in.

Then I watched Face-Off, and that wasn't my favorite episode. lol Details under a spoiler cut:

Now the back issues are what I was expecting that special save to be used for, a health thing. Granted, he didn't need to be saved, even with the back issues he put together something good enough to be a middle look. But still. Me and Scottie both commented on the fact that this was the sort of thing we expected it to be used on, and that we were both ok with it never being used if it wasn't necessary. But still a moot point.

Saved dude from last week made an interesting look, but it wasn't spectacular and was justa middle look, which he was probably disappointed by.

My favorite make-up was the B&W Frankenstein look from the girl. I think leaving off the leg to focus on doing the paint and face as good as she could was a really good move.
The winning look wasn't surprising. That guy does really well executed original things. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins.

I was totally expecting the guy with the fetus to end up on bottom looks. Not because the baby thing was in poor taste- I've heard of worse things involving babies in horror movies so it's not like he was even being THAT shocking since worse has literally been done before... But because of that awful face sculpt thing. It looked like a leather mask or something and the painting was atrocious.

I was surprised that the leech thing ended up going home. I had been really underwhelmed by her concept and what she ended up doing, but the random pasted on jaw on the other dude's makeup was just so ridiculous. o_O

Anyway, this whole episode was a lot of Not My Thing and DNW, so bleh.

And then, the thing that I have been waiting excitedly for since I heard about Sif guest starring what feels like ages ago (was it a few weeks ago?)... Agents of Shield: Asgardian Edition!
You guys have to know that this will get me fangirling. xD It did not disappoint me, and it is my favorite episode so far! When it finished Scottie was like "This isn't getting deleted off the DVR is it?" and I was like nuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. He knows me so well! And is such a sweetie putting up with my sillyness.
Spoiler cut for Shield and Thor TDW:

We liked the fact that it actually made sense for only Sif to come down to deal with Lorelei, since any other guys would just be liabilities. She was pretty badass too! Her entrance made me all happy lol.

I liked Lorelei quite a bit too.
I rather enjoyed the talk that her and Sif had, alluding to their past experiences. Which I knew about from the comics, and on the commercials I had to go and babble on to Scottie about what she was talking about more specifically. xD
I wonder what her relationship to Loki will be in the MCU.

I also love that anytime people were talking about Odin... they were talking about Loki actually. Well, probably. It's still possible that Loki was just sitting the throne while Odin was in the loo and Loki just took that opportunity to mess with Thor. xD

This is where he belongs~
But if when they were talking about Odin's wishes they were actually carrying out Loki's wishes... what does Loki want Lorelei for I wonder. x3

I can help but be really amused by Fitz when he was under Lorelei's spell. Ah, poor fanboy. n_n' I don't understand anything about how he was feeling. *koff* (I mean, I just want to give Loki the Earth/Asgard/whatever he wants with a big bow is that bad? The answer to that is no in case you're wondering.)

I think that the end bit, where Coulson was apologizing to Skye for not stopping them from injecting her with the alien stuff, showed that having Skye around is really helpful to Coulson. He keeps slipping towards dark places and Skye is just like "dude, we're alive, and we've got each other, you don't have a tail or anything and I already didn't know what I was, we'll fine" and Coulson gets confused but also pulled back to a better place.

Anyway, I was a happy fangirl, but now I need to get to bed.

Today has been sort of a rough one. I went to sleep last night a bit late- but then because I felt unwell I couldn't sleep for at least an hour. Then nightmares were waking me up. Then at some point nearer to morning I got a charlie horse cramp in my calf and that bothered me for a while. I've spent most of the day sort of flailing around being a not terribly functional entity.

While I watched the Voice tonight I made a silly sketch because I wanted to do something creative, and so just continuing to get used to the tablet seemed like something of a plan. This whole digital art thing is strange to me still!


I had plans to work on my sculpt, or work on the actual comic that I have going... but I decided that it would be best to not work on something that I actually cared about because I was afraid I'd end up doing it harm.

The Voice had some fun music, though still nobody has really grabbed me. I do have to giggle whenever Shakira says something about hips not lying because

Hips do not lie, they do exactly what they say on the tin.
I am easily amused. xD

Also, a moose just walked by, I saw him through our sliding glass door. Well then.

Now it is time for bed, though frustratingly, it appears that the internet has stopped working and I'm currently connected via my phone. e_e

I haven't posted pictures of Chaos in a while! He was cuddling with us on the couch for a lot of the evening!

He was so cute!

( More ferret pictures )

This was another picture I took yesterday but I just didn't post it yet. This is the view walking down the street near my apartment.
( Read more... )

I watched The Voice tonight, and... yeah... :S I've been talking about Jonny Gray this whole season, and excited that I was actually excited about someone on the show and that HE WAS STILL THERE. (He's the guy that tweeted back to me even and I was all excited!) There's another person on Ceelo's team that I decided that I also liked, Kat Robichaud, and she would be the other person I would root for. I either care very little for or care nothing for anyone else on the show.
I was excited because yesterday they'd mentioned that we, the audience, could save someone instantly somehow on the results show. So I was like "I actually care, so I'm going to make sure I watch live just in case!" I mean, I've actually voted for Jonny, and I've never voted in any previous season!
They revealed that the instant save would be a FIVE MINUTE window at that point in the show where people could tweet using a hashtag with #voicesave and the artist's name.
It turned out that Jonny and Kat BOTH ended up in the bottom three, and I was so angry! I was going to tweet when the TV flashed a "previously recorded, voting is closed" on the bottom of the screen. Then I was really pissed! WTH I WAS WATCHING THE LIVE AIRING ON TV I COULDN'T HAVE WATCHED IT EARLIER.
Jonny went home, and while I'm sure that my tweet wouldn't have mattered it was just icing on the cake. Kat was saved, and that's great and all but eh. Ceelo said he was pissed and I had the same feels.
Then Scottie enticed me to cuddle with him and the ferret for a bit, and I felt a bit better.
As for the Voice though, just... ugh. I don't even know if I care enough to keep watching. Especially when Kat was on the bottom that doesn't bode well for her chances of staying around. Last season was just so mediocre to me and I everyone I liked was voted off early, and I'm not interested in repeating that experience.

Dear country, I am judging you.

Back to work tomorrow, booooo.

So tonight I watched the final battle rounds, and I was really nervous because Jonny Gray was up tonight! He was the guy I'd identified so hard with, and I really liked his voice. I want him to do well! I was excited when he went on after the battle, and I tweeted about it. Then when I was scrolling through my twitter feed I saw that he'd replied to me! Aw! I never expect anyone I tweet about to ever actually see my tweets, let alone respond.


It may be silly, but I was so pleased. :3


Also watched tonights episode of Shield, that was fun! Too tired to really talk about that though. n_n'
Super excited to watch Face-Off tomorrow, didn't have time but it's Loki Thor 2 related and oh my ghoul that's amazing!
I've been looking at premiere stuff from Loki Thor, and that had me flailing around in fangirly happiness. On the one hand I want to watch the movie now, but I also don't want it to be here yet (which it isn't, since I'm in the US, but it's coming up soon enough!). With all the promo stuff, and all the excitement and anticipation, I feel like I'm coming up on Christmas and it will be amazing when it happens but then it will be sad to not have something so exciting to look forward to any more. xD
And I say that even when seeing bits and pieces of stuff make me say "Waiting for this movie is going to kill me with feeeeels" fairly often. xD

I wanted to work on my costume more tonight, but I am really sleepy. I did some design/material recon but that was as far as I got.

*falls asleep on keyboard*

So I'm still not exactly back to normal, but I'm working on it. I'm getting more used to the kitty not being here. It's still sad, but it's slowly getting better. I still need to distract myself a lot though. n_n'
However, I'm getting behind on my sculpting, costume, and Monster High Halloween competition picture. Those last two are time sensitive though, so that's not great. I've still been working on my comics a lot, so that's not really being affected.
Also, I'm being pretty terrible at keeping up commenting, sorry guys! *hugs* I just don't seem to have the mental energy required to do my normal stuffs. n_n'

I sketched out an idea I had for the Monster High Halloween picture for this year, but I wasn't happy with it. I'm going back to the drawing board for that, but my muse hasn't been terribly helpful on this project (mostly I'm getting inspired for unrelated things). I hope to be properly inspired for this though soon!
I just realized that I never actually posted last year's picture on my journal! Oops! I meant to do a whole work in progress thing, since I did a lot of work on the set. Maybe I'll do that sometime this week? I just had to keep the whole thing under wraps until the competition, which I'll of course have to do again this year, but that doesn't apply to last years picture.

I've been looking for boots for my Loki costume. I'm ridiculously short, so I should wear heels. (And she should have heels, but my lack of height still stands ehehehe as a valid reason). I don't wear heels. I am sad because I did have an pair of boots that is back with my family in Michigan that was amazing. They were long black leather boots, with an awesome high chunky heel. They were ridiculous and amazingly comfortable! I wore them with my Dark Willow Halloween costume. I took my sister and brother out trick or treating, I walked around for hours in them and my feet didn't hurt.
As I'm small, it's hard for me to find shoes for ~adults~ because like the rest of me my feet are small. :/ Also, it seems like a lot of the shoes I'd want are made for people with narrow feet. I forgot what looking for ~fancy~ shoes was like.

Thank you Loki, I agree.

I've drawn out the main part of the costume that I want to do. I'm thinking I'm going to make the costume a bit lighter so I can dance in it more easily. (From the field work I've done in my work attire, I really, really understand the problems Hiddles had with the real Loki armour).
I need to finish up the planning and start in on fabrication. Scottie has been looking for things I can use in the costume because he's amazing! <3

I forgot the Voice was starting back up again! We watched that tonight. I was pleasantly surprised to not be drowning in country. I don't dislike country, but I have to be in the mood for it and last season burned me out on country so bad because that was all they did omg.
I was so amused by the girl that pounced on Adam! And the guy that said he was afraid he'd be too distracted by Adam's handsomeness. lol I thought it was fun to have the original judges back together. I don't think anyone has really blown me away yet, we'll have to see who ends up being my favorites.

And now, for The Hollow Crown! Saturday we watched Richard II, and I was really impressed by Ben Whishaw's performance! I just wanted to make things alright for him, even though I knew it wasn't to be. I was certainly excited to see it, but of course I was most excited to watch Hiddles as Prince Hal/Henry V. I've watched Part I so far, and OMG ALL THE FEELS.

I really need to get to bed, so I won't start writing about that just yet, but yeah. *points up to gif*

In case you didn't see the episode and have it on your DVR or something, I'll cut for spoilers!

( What happened on the Voice tonight? )

Usher training scenario- Good thing the bigger soul singer dude wasn't around for this, because he was puffing after something else much lighter Usher had him doing last week. I kind of wonder if that was one of the reasons he's not still on his team. I mean, Usher is the reason Bieber is a thing, and obviously with Bieber image is more important than voice.

Team Adam, Amber Carrington- Very pretty performance. I loved some of the things she did with her voice. (Turns out that this was my favorite performance of the night).

Team Usher, Josiah Hawley- OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU ARE SLAUGHTERING ONE OF MY FAVORITE MUSE SONGS WHY DO THE JUDGES KEEP BLOWING SUNSHINE UP HIS ARSE ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL THAT WAS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Can I vote no on people I mean seriously wth.
That guy seems so sleazy to me. It's like he's gotten everywhere on looks alone and he just expects people to fall all over themselves for him. (Btw, I don't find him at all attractive, but obvs there are plenty of people who do).

Team Adam, Sarah Simmons- Noooo gurl, don't use the ASPCA Sarah Mclachlan song... I actually really like this song (and I like to sing it), and I like this contestant... but I don't like what she's doing with the song. Plus, ASPCA overdose, I don't think that's a good thing.

Team Usher, Càthia- I think she did a really good job with the song. Judges are hard on her for her performance? After telling that sleazy model who sounded FRAKING AWFUL that he was wonderful they picked her performance apart? WHAT AM I MISSING OMG

Team Adam, Caroline Glaser- She sounds pretty like usual. Everyone says how unique she sounds, and she does, but she sounds so much like Norah Jones that I feel unique is a bit untrue. Still, I like her a lot and hope she continues on.

Team Usher, Vedo- He sounded fine to me, good performance, though it didn't really inspire me. Though how does he not know who Phil Collins is? I mean, I'm not terribly familiar with the man but I at least know who he is. o_O

Adam team sing- very pretty.

I just realized I haven't been terribly inspired by anything yet this show. There have been pretty things for sure, but still, nothing that's made me go oooooh I want that.

Michelle Chamuel- Pretty song, she did a really nice job with it. It's good to show range of course, but I really do like her energetic stuff best. I like her though, so I hope she goes on.

Judith Hill- I know the song that she performed because Muse has song it. AND SHE DIDN'T SOUND AWFUL THANK YOU FOR REDEEMING MUSE COVERS TONIGHT JUDITH. She sounded gorgeous as always, though it didn't get the big notes in that I wanted to hear, but that's probably a stylistic thing.

Tonight I put together the arm armatures for the male figure, and started sculpting the fingers onto the hands. It actually took me a while to get the arms together and with proper finger lengths, partly because my hands were getting tired because the wire I'm using is a bit stiff.

Tomorrow I'll need to finish sculpting the fingers, then I'll bake them. I hope that goes alright! After I bake the fingers I'll sculpt the rest of the hand and start sculpting the arms.

In other news, did anyone else see the story of the people in Argentina buying toy poodles... which are actually ferrets? On steriods with a floofy hairdo? o_O I feel bad for the ferrets, I mean, that can't be good for them. And once the owners realize they're not dogs what do they do with them? o_O Exactly how can you look at a ferret and think "YEAH THAT'S TOTALLY A DOG"? o_O And why exactly do the pet sellers just not just sell poodles? There is so much randomness in this story I wouldn't be surprised if it was an April fools joke or something.

I felt I needed to post some pictures of my ferts. Who look in no way like poodles. My gramma's dog when I was growing up was a very sweet toy poodle named Brandy, and she definitely did not look like a ferret. lol
( Ferrets! )

In tv related ramblings, I watched the Voice tonight! I'm excited to see more of the people who've been picked. There was a girl that I really liked and I remembered today that she's on team Blake. I wish she was on another team though because I was hoping someone else would win this year! I don't have anything against Blake, he's just won the last couple of years in a row and I thought it would be cool if someone else won this year. xD I guess we'll see how stuff goes. :3

Tiiiired, time for bed.
