She's cute but not hot :p though IDK what she looks like now. I liked it for the actual show
Like* still do
She looks like this now 
I kinda want to use her as a face-claim but I don't know lol
I don't get Zen, she said she was done with RPing on GoodReads but she's still in some RP groups and RPing in them regularly. It frustrates me because while she can do what she wants, I did that collab with her and I'm stuck with one-half of it because she left our group. And I really like the character I made too.
I finally watched YouTubeRewind2017 and I don't care that I'm several weeks late. It wasn't as good as previous years, but it's hard to beat my favorite in my opinion(2015) I liked how this year they tried to find really popular YouTubers in all different areas. People complained they didn't recognize the YouTubers in previous years because they usually tend to be Let's Players and people like that, but this year they picked more ethnic ones and ones that are really famous in different fandoms and such. I liked that because I recognized a lot more YouTubers.
I wasn't a huge fan of the song mashup. I felt like there was too much focus on the instrumental and not the lyrics like previous years. It didn't really feel super preppy like I wanted.
I disliked the Shooting Stars reference so much but disliked the actual meme so.
I also liked how they took a more serious take and referenced some of the tragedies that happened around the world last year. I definitely wasn't expecting that.
Overall, this was a decent year-long rewind, but not the best they could've done.
I don't even bother with the rewind because I won't get 99% of what they're talking about.
And no, I didn't read the comments. I was very tempted to and almost did, but I stopped myself because I wasn't in the mood to read a million comments of 'ewwwww they played with fidget spinners so fucking cringy' or 'how dare they try to bring light to the mexican earthquakes you can't do that after making a retarded shooting stars reference'
So the teaser trailer for The Nutcracker and the Four Realms was finally released, and despite all Nutcracker adaptations in history having major problems with them, I still wanted to remain open-minded about it because I love The Nutcracker, both the book and ballet. So I watched the trailer. And wow, it's actually really beautiful!! And I love how the Nutcracker's kingdom has four realms in it for the snowflakes and desserts and flowers!! And the people in the kingdom look really beautiful too! They really look like that dessert or whatever came to life!
And then I saw what the actual plot was and I wanted to die.
It's about Clara discovering a secret box that takes her to the Nutcracker's kingdom, so that's fine. Except the Nutcracker isn't a nutcracker in this version, he's just a prince. But why?! Nutcracker is literally in the title and there is no nutcracker in this movie. There are four realms in his kingdom, one full of snowflake people, one of flower people, and one of dessert people. Now that's super cute and is a call-back to the original story, where there were indeed snowflakes, flowers, and desserts. I love the idea of each group having their own realm to live in.
But Clara and The Prince learn that the fourth realm is being destroyed by the tyrannical ruler Mother Ginger and the two must travel to that realm to dispose of her.
And that is where I draw the line. Why. Why is this a horrible YA novel plot?! Why do they need to overthrow a tyrannical ruler?! This has nothing to do with the original Nutcracker!!
I am so sick of people taking the original story and trying to make it dark and gritty. It is a story where fucking candy canes dance. It doesn't need to be made gritty!!!! Just once, just ONCE, I want to see The Nutcracker get a book or movie adaptation that it DESERVES.
I want to see more of The Nutcracker's kingdom. But I want it to be whimsical and innocent and perfectly capture Christmas like the original story. I don't want a dark gritty retelling because seriously, who looks at that story and goes: "You know what this story about living coffee needs? A tyrannical government."
Wait...the Nutcracker is a BOOK?! I thought it was just a ballet! What is the plot?
Yeah, it was originally called The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. It was written by a Prussian guy named E.T.A. Hoffman. The original story explained a lot more than the ballet does and I actually like the ending of the book better than the ballet because it has closure.
It's about Clara and The Nutcracker overthrowing a tyrannical government.
Assuming there's no speaking in ballet then of course the book would explain more :p
I can't help but wonder if everyone in places like Puerto Rico hit by the hurricanes have their power back. If it's freezing there it must be miserable.
I meant it talks about the origin of nutcrackers and stuff.
Me: "I think it's so strange that Disney is making a Hamilton movie." Mom: "Why? I'm sure it'll be fine, and I'd love to see it."
Me: "The musical is taken from actual historical events and is about a man ruining his reputation and his family's life by having a public affair with a woman,"
Mom: "Well Disney made The Hunchback of Notre Dame, so I'm sure they can make this too."
I remember when the Nostalgia Critic said he actually really enjoyed High School Musical 3 and I had never respected a person as much as I respected him in that moment.
A moment of silence for the fact I'll never get to use Claire again, one of my most favorite OCs.
Why not?
Nobody wants to RP that fandom with me.
I imagine someone might. You can't assume no one ever will, right?
The last few people who wanted to abandoned me really early on in the RP.
So? I've had loads of people abandon what i like, but I still look. And I've found people now.
Not a lot of people want to RP that fandom I've noticed. I've looked but it's been in vain.
Me: "I want to RP!" *A bunch of people I'm RPing with are still waiting for my responses*
Me: "I want to do different RPs, fun RPs!"
Lol
Someone on here was talking about how her family was scolding her for looking like crap because she's too depressed to do much about her physical appearance. It's so ironic to me because I have the opposite problem. I've had so many people dismiss my problems because I always look really perfect and impeccable every single day and therefore 'I can't be that messed-up if I have the energy and motivation to look good' Like did you ever think maybe me looking good is part of the reason WHY I'm messed-up?I can't even go to the store unless I'm dressed to the nines. I've lost so much weight because eating is overrated. I think I wear about five different types of perfumes and load my baths with so many smelling salts because I'm paranoid of somehow smelling bad to somebody. I don't even go outside if I have allergies or I'm on my period because I'm afraid someone will insult my looks.
But yeah, I'm totally fine mentally. Don't need any help at all.
I keep finding the most lit remixes I swear
It's only 16 degrees outside but it felt so warm I went outside without my hat on for the first time this winter. It was literally a God-send.
What's the lowest actual temp you've seen?
-15 with a wind chill of -35. That was on Tuesday I think. Tuesday or Wednesday.
Holy nutballs.I'm glad you haven't gotten any frostbite or anything.
I wasn't actually out in it. Were you asking about temperatures I was out in? The lowest I actually went out in was 3 degrees that felt like -2.
I was asking about just the lowestStill, you've been out in buttcold weather so I'm glad you're not sick or anything.
It'll be a little bit warmer tomorrow and Monday. But it'll also be sleeting. So you win some you lose some.
I'm going to the library again tomorrow too since I still have stuff to return.
Be safe and all that
Dude it's just sleet. And It'll be thirty-seven degrees. I'll be fine. Stop telling me to be safe, it doesn't do anything.
OhI was just trying to show concern for you >.< show someone actually does care.
I can hear someone popping their gum FROM HALFWAY ACROSS THE ROOM
uGh that sound >.<
If you want to show how much you care, actually do something instead of just saying it. Mom's favorite quote, and mine too, is: "Words show what a person WANTS to become, actions show WHO they are."
Well there isn't really anything I can *do*from here, you know? I'm hundreds of miles away.
You can try. Words mean nothing to me.
Well if you have a realistic idea i would love to hear it because i don't know what i could possibly do from hundreds of miles away.
it's personal
