(This is from last week; I had almost finished it, but... well... didn't. Only one of the added paragraphs has a bit of info that actually happened this week.)
I guess I'll address first and foremost the little song. It's been a while since I last tried to do a song, and this one didn't really have a motive of any kind. I just glanced through my "Misheard" list on my iPod, which is just little snippets of lyrics I like, lyrics I misheard (hence the title), and a line or so of a song that just came to me once and I thought had the potential to be used. My brain linked a few of these little snippets together on Tuesday, and I decided to get to work. I then tried to work some sort of meaning in, which I might've accomplished sort of? Listening to Vocaloid has convinced me that lyrics don't have to all make sense, honestly. *hehehe* Yesterday I finished the rest of the song (as I'd only gotten the chorus done) and here it is. I imagine it sung like a Paramore song, even though I think it might sound better if it was slowed down instead.
I read a few manga one-shots on Kissmanga (after I was convinced that it is legal, or at least legal enough), and I thought maybe it'd be a decent idea to make a manga one-shot out of my first fic ever, "Al Meets a Star" (though I'd like to try to come up with a different title in this case). Since it seems kinda stupid to just do the entire thing exactly the same, especially since it's not actually an original story, and it'd be incredibly difficult to draw Al's armor so many times, the gist could still be the same but with normal people instead. The characters would still be similar in personality to Ed and Al, but I'd still try to not make it so obvious where they originated from. A possibility is that Al is some kid who just recently lost his legs and is going about in a wheelchair, and is under the watchful eye of his older brother who is currently his parental guardian. Ed leaves the house to get groceries or something and tells Al to not go out and especially don't go picking up strays, but Al ignores him and somehow makes it out the door in his chair, and finds the little kitten and brings it in. For the second half, Al is now older and has prosthetics for both legs, plus has a haircut and a stubbly beard and all sorts of things that make him different from before, but in the end the cat recognizes him all the same. It'll be so adorable if I ever actually get around to doing it- or at the very least giving the idea to someone else who is better at that sort of thing anyway.
Speaking of drawing, for some reason I came up with this idea while listening to Sanders Bohlke songs yesterday... I finally got around to it, after listening to "The Weight of Us" for so long. I didn't like most of them, honestly, so only two or three other songs ended up being added to my playlist.
Anyway, his style doesn't evoke "creepy" at all, which is why I don't know where this came from, but with photo effects darkening my drawing I think I actually did a decent job at making it creepy. Yay!
Here's what it really looks like (I prove once again I have difficulties coloring dark):
And, eventually, after a bit of chatting with Carter, I came up with a decent idea for Alt. Y! Which means, as soon as that's written, I can post the next chapter! I've also got most of the final chap done and got started on Alt. Z. It's weird that this is ending, yet at the same time I feel like I took too long with VH...
M'kay, next topic! So I may or may not have mentioned that Powerpuff Girls rebooted, and so they started selling PPG stuff at Hot Topic and stuff? Due to the coolness of the dresses (especially cuz you could actually wear them just whenever you want; I've already worn the pink Blossom dress once) and the idea that we could use them as a Halloween costume this year, we bought all three. Blossom is for me, Buttercup (green) is for my sis, and Bubbles (blue) is for my sister's friend or whoever ends up wanting to do this with us.
I wanna be creepy still, so I'm hoping maybe we could figure out how to make it look like we're crying blood? That'd be so sweet.
Speaking of my sis... so far, she's already done some cool stuff, like go to a Chinese beach and zoo (where she got to hold a little monkey and got picked up by an elephant with its trunk! Pictures to prove it!) and store (the Engrish is insane), and she and her group had got a lot more planned. She might even go with them to visit Japan afterwards, which will take about a thousand dollars or something, but she's going for it.
It's kinda sucky how she ended up getting kinda sicky at one point and homesick, which is a horrible combination for being so far away. Oh, and she has a hard time dealing with some of the kids. I really hope she feels better by next Monday!!!
Just one last note:
The Work and the Glory trilogy though... My mom and I cried at the very, very end.
