And Happy Thanksgiving and Black Friday and 1st of December!!! (Well, the first two are late.)
I had planned to write on Friday, but my mom and sister were watching a movie in the living room and I accidentally got myself stuck watching it. Then yesterday we went on a little trip downtown for a few hours. We weren't gone long, but if my mom let me stay home by myself, I could've gotten it done. (My sister needed it for the rest of the day for homework and then for a freaking movie!!! RAGE)
ANYWAYS on Tuesday I did one of the greatest things ever to make a friend happy!
In seminary they do a thing, which I guess is done every year, where you give a few people a turkey-gram, or pretty much a little thank-you note, like a candy-gram but for Thanksgiving. I wanted to give one to Grell (who I mentioned before) because she suggested Fairy Tail to me, and I couldn't get enough of it since I started watching. She also explained some stuff to me. But with something that could probably just seem so trivial to some people, I wanted to prove that I was grateful, not just by a note.
So, late Monday night, I cut out a piece of fabric and hand-sewed it so it was a reasonable length and width and practiced what I would do with it. Then in the morning I also downloaded a picture of the guild tattoo (it's a tattoo, right?) onto my phone for reference. Just minutes before the turkey-grams would be passed out in class, I worked quickly and quietly and got it done!
I dressed myself (right) up sorta so I looked like Lucy (left) from Fairy Tail! I drew her hand tattoo with a pink highlighter onto my hand (note: I drew it with my freaking left hand which make it much harder but all for the sake of authenticity) and tied up a side half ponytail with the fabric, which is her signature look, although she does change hairstyle a few times in the series. I also wore a shirt, with a pattern too hard to draw, that seemed like the most likely she would wear if she wore something with long sleeves from my closet. (DANG IT I just realized I forgot to draw the cuffs!) Of course, she'd wear it without the black tank top underneath from the impression I get from how she dresses... When I showed Grell who I dressed up as after she read my turkey-gram, I am pretty sure she got even happier inside.
I am quite pleased with the picture of Lucy, since it was my first, and I used a ton of reference photos on Google since she never used a pose like that. I guess the biggest flaw for the whole thing is that she doesn't have enough boob. I just have a thing where it's really weird for me when I draw bewb so I rarely do. The amount on Lucy is more than I ever do. I guess I'm embarrassed...
I am quite flat-chested, compared to probably most girls my age. And I like it that way. Apparently most girls want to have big boobs but I don't whatsoever. I guess the best way for me to explain it is that it's a sign that, well, I'm growing up. But like Peter Pan, I wanna be a kid forever! I don't want to be an adult, although there's some stuff that I have to be older to do. If I could be in elementary school until I die, awesome! But no, we all have to face puberty. I am dreading the day when I'll be too big for literally anything from the girl's section. I tend to cover up my chest so that people don't see that I am growing! (But I have been getting the skinny waist, or hour-glass shape, which I am actually fine with, for some reason. But no boobs. That's just crossing the line.) You probably now mistake me for a cuckoo bird. Well, you are wrong! Cuckoo birds are indigenous to my area. (...Oh dear, that's a reference to Ninjago...)
Back to my sort of cosplay, she told me she wants me to dress up like that again next time we have a class together, and she'll dress like Erza and it'll be a Fairy Tail party all up in here! I'm just kinda wondering what she'll wear that won't seem weird for school...
On Wednesday, I finished all 48 episodes available on Netflix, and it ended on an episode where it realistically could've just ended. But from the pictures I saw on Google, there is deeeeeeefinetely more. On the very last one, I got a quote too great that I just wanted to save it.
This is held over your head and done with your right hand. However, when I did it with my right the camera flipped it and I couldn't stand it so I changed to my left hand. Most of the time I see myself in the MIRROR, so I had to change it so it looked right to me, like I was looking at a mirror. I also had technical difficulties drawing myself with Lucy, because I usually draw myself how I look in the mirror, but then if I did that then I would've had to flip Lucy instead to match how I look but then she wouldn't look right anymore so I had to force myself to draw myself reverse to how I usually draw myself and it pained me so. The biggest thing is that my hair part is always on the left, so I usually draw it how it looks in the mirror, which would change it so to others it looks like I have a right part so for that drawing I had to make it look like a left part like it looks to other people, but that's not how I see myself so it was harder to do. Am I confusing you?
I don't know, that quote just seems so cute, especially since it was from relative to relative. But it probably will just sound weird if I tried to explain it to someone. I started thinking that I would use it with my kids, like if they got lost in a store, I would tell them to go to higher ground and hold their hand up like that, and I'll also be holding up the sign while searching so it would be faster to find each other. I don't know, that could possibly work. But it just doesn't have as deep a meaning unless I did it with someone who also knew the show and this quote and what it meant. Sigh...
Also, on Tuesday and Wednesday I watched a lot of anime, and at one point I got so surprised that in my head I said "HOLY FREEZNUT" or something like that. I just kept repeating that and being like "why the heck am I saying holy freeznut or freeznit or whatever it's not even a word" but I just kept saying that at the intense surprising moments or similar so I guess it's my new swear word.
World: I grant unto you the new term "holy freeznut." Definition: just a word you say when something so awesome happens in your anime you can barely think correctly for a moment. ONLY used when watching anime. Alternate spelling and pronunciation is "holy freeznit."
OOH one for thing for today. Last Thursday I was put in a fanfic! The wonderful author TheGoldenApple10 on FanFiction wrote a story that's still going and I just love it. I asked if maybe I could be in it for a part, because he (I just assume this author is a he, for some reason) used a reviewer's name in one part, but I preferred more like me, myself, and I. I told that to him, and then through PM I gave him some ideas of how to include my name and explained what I'm like and stuff. About a week later I'm already in! https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9786779/29/Chris-the-Human Look for "Lily," because that's what he's using. (Of course, the whole thing makes much more sense if you start reading from Chapter 1.) The author just used a small piece of information where I said some phrases I use. I don't even know how to describe how happy I was finding myself there. The best part is that at the end, he tells me that my OC will pop up more in the future! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! My heart started freaking out ♥♥♥♥♥ and I could barely think straight for a while! The only thing is that it's not an OC, this person he's putting there is ME. There is a difference between someone you make up and someone who already exists, right? Whatever. I still fangirl all over the place whenever I think about the fact that I'm in such a great thing on the internet.
Peace out yo! Hopefully I'll get the next post done sooner. I'll have some interesting topics for you all...
