Blue or Red
Salutations! It's been a while since my last post, but I'm seeing another empty white box that's begging to be written in, so here I am, writing in it.
First off, I'll answer that question I asked so long ago: why are Kyaza and his family Ruby Dragons, when blue has been my favorite color since before I knew what the name of it was?
The answer is this - originally, Kyaza and his family were blue. They were Sapphires, and I was thrilled to be writing about blue dragons. Then, at some point it occurred to me that I'd made the blue dragons of my world evil, and that made me unhappy. Red is my second-favorite color, so I whisked the Sapphires off to the good guys' side, and made Kyaza and his famly Rubies instead. I like my red dragons to be evil . . . I just couldn't do that to my precious blues.
Yeah, I know it's silly, but that's the way I work.
On another note, I recently discovered that there was a movie made about Final Fantasy VII! I'm obsessed with Final Fantasy and with VII in particular, literally half my daily thought processes have something to do with Cloud or Sephiroth or Vincent or . . . well, you get the idea.
First, I was ecstatic. Then I was terrified, because so many movies based off of things I love are so wretched. I didn't want that to happen to Advent Children.
It didn't. The movie is seriously good. The animation is just gorgeous. The bad guys, Kadaj and his gang, are melodramatic wimps, but Cloud and Company are just about perfect. The fight scenes are awesome, and the mythology fits beautifully. Sehpiroth was Sephiroth, which is all I can ask, since he can't be improved upon.
Anyway, yeah. I love the thing. If you like Final Fantasy, watch it. I'll certainly be seeing it again and again.
So, signing out for now. Hope you are having a great day, whoever you are! Happy reading!
