I’ll probably do 2 other of these posts, dedicated to what I’ve been watching and reading, but for now, this is it.

Studio Mir's own IP with Alexander Snow, which they're searching for distributors and investors.

It looks so good, I hope they get to do it. They worked on Legend of Korra and Voltron Legendary Defender, but since they were other's IPs they didn't have the autonomy they will have with this Ip.
I wish them all luck, and I want more and want to watch it really bad.
I see great things coming from them, and I can't wait for it!~

Just finished this game. It only had 1 twist, and tbh the gameplay was annoying in my places. Turing is cute. The OST is a bit forgettable, but this song isn't. A good jazz bop.

Social Media

2018-12-13T02:23:37Z

It's bizarre to me how much experience in internet changed, especially tools which the purpose for was striking conversation and facilitating that. Many would say social media started with FB, but the reality was it already existed in MSN and then Skype, and before those it was forums and IIRC's. MSN and Skype made it so we would talk to each other, be it in groups or 1-on-1, and it felt like we were all connected.
Along the way, somehow social media became...disconnected, lonely, anti-social itself. Most of the tools are made so you're not talking with people. Likes, RTs, Reblogs, whatever else? It's interaction but not socializing. We're just screaming into the void, hoping someone sees, notices us, answers us. It's become the antithesis of what social media should be. Interacting directly with words has become a bygone thing for a lot of people.
Many would say, well that's why online friendships are not real, but even with family and friends that we know IRL there's less interaction, less realness. A lot of things are staged, as if it only happens if it's posted online, with pictures, and people congratulating you online even though that cousin? You haven't seen them in 5 years, and never messages you. It's very hypocrite.
Mostly though? It's sad that we've had so much progress in technology, but it seems socially we're devolving.
This is why mostly I am not in social medias, and by that it means I do HAVE them. I have a Twitter I sometimes check, a FB for family and friends, my websites to track what I do like GoodReads, Trakt, Anime-Planet, Grouvee, etc; but mostly? I prefer the social media that are made for actual messaging and talking with people, not at people. LINE is my fave because of the stickers, and my online friends are there. You can have groups and just chat about whatever. It's so much more real than having a lot of followers which never speak to you, that act like robots just liking or RTing, and I'm not much better. It's very easy to fall into those habits with social media like Twitter, it's done so it's fast-paced and forgettable. But I don't want to forget, I want to connect, make friends, engage, be real, be unforgettable.

Fence Comic

2018-12-06T18:19:00Z

This gorgeous cover by HamletMachine is amazing, and the comic actually drawn by Johanna the Mad is so good and GAY. C.S. Pacat (from Captive Prince) did an amazing job writing this so far, and I'm here to see where it's going.
It's good to see a sports series done by an indie team that's this good and talented, and making it GAY, bless.
The wait for more, it's only at 12 issues so far, is gonna be excruciating but for a series this well done and with such names and skill, it's worth it <3

Evernote

2018-12-06T16:31:03Z

Lately, I've been too lazy to use Quollwriter, at least to write WIP's. Evernote has a quickass mobile app that's easy to use and syncs like a charm. It's great for writing, jotting down stuff, saving links and images and even PDF's. it's great for research and writing on the go.
I think Quollwriter is great, but since it has no mobile app I don't end up using it as much. I think I'm gonna put it as my editing software, where after I finish writing the rough project I put it all there to edit and read, since it's organization is so good.
I've heard there's a new good app like Evernote that's challenging it and rivaling it, but for now I'm not sure I'll try it out. Maybe if it has better organization than Evernote. Because that's the 1 flaw I find is that I can't make notebooks inside of notebooks, so I have to make multiple notebooks for different projects, instead of having them inside of 1 per ship :(
I'm lazy to try stuff out though, took me forever to try Evernote out and fall in love, so who knows when this will happen? I'd still have to see and check it out to see if it's worth changing.
As it is, I'm content for now, though with some hangups that I do REALLY wish it has better organization for projects than it has, and been writing quite a bit. My WIP's have increased funnily enough, especially Sheith ones hahahaha... :'D
I posted a WIP in AO3, my zombie sheith, and I wrote most of it in Evernote, as are all my current WIP's been ported to Evernote so I can write on the go, or when I'm in bed and not in my PC.
Wish me luck and keep having fun~

Re: Tumblr Censorship

2018-12-06T16:15:54Z

It's like Tumblr didn't learn anything from Livejournal's downfall. Both got taken down by censorship making users leave. LJ users went to Dreamwidth (here) and Tumblr because of censorship and issues LJ was having. Now it's come full circle with Tumblr users leaving to Dreamwidth and Twitter (and some to Pillowfort) because of the censorship.
The same happened to Fanfiction.net and why Archive of Our Own happened, becoming the definite hub for fanfics.
It's a cycle and so funny that it seems none learn from this mistake? Like, it's been shown time and time again that this makes it so communities and users leave...
I'm glad I never much used Tumblr. I'm more of a blogger myself. I use twitter but rarely, it's so fast-paced I don't have the energy and time for it that I used to have. DW and blogs are much less intense and time demanding.
This reminds me I haven't posted my fics in DW, though I have them in AO3. I probably should post them here just as backups. Never too good to put all your eggs in 1 basket.
This was just some rambling I wanted to do.
Keep reading and have fun~

Sheith WIP's

2018-09-21T23:37:59Z

I have a lot of ideas for these 2 dorks tbh but my main 2 rn are:

Sheith in zombie apocalypse heavily influenced by all the gay chinese web novels with cultivators in post-apocalyptic world with zombies. I’ve written like 5k for the prologue and I’m not done over with either :’DDDD

QuollWriter

2018-09-16T00:03:38Z

It's good stuff. It's like Scrivener but easier to get. Sleek, minimalist but still has a lot of features if one wants them, ease of use, light, free, open source.

Castlevania is Great

2018-09-04T21:16:43Z

Super surprised that it was gore-y, graphic and violent. I mean the original series ofc it is but this is an adaptation and from a JP Ip done by westerners so I wasn't sure what to expect. It's seriously GREAT.
