Quiver

Well, this is convincing I'm waiting for UK tickets to get released. Soon as they do, I'll be snagging a set and booking a week off of work.

I grew up watching a lot more of the shows that aired on Cartoon Network rather than Disney Channel; we didn't have Disney for years, and by the time we did... That being said, there were shows on Disney I did like, including Recess (and Kim Possible); it's just that by then, I started feeling kind of self-conscious about watching them.

... I have no idea why, but I'm suddenly reminded of the Kindergarteners from Recess. ... You know, Recess? That old Disney cartoon, about the school kids? God I'm old

There are people who do practice magic in the modern day; I know that Alan Moore and Grant Morrison, for instance, both fall into that category, though I don't know enough about their beliefs or about that stuff in general to comment on it. Basically, that book could, in fact, be talking about MAGIC, rather than magic being a synonym for something else. (Or it could be talking about the historical context of magical practices and how they related to political ideas, whether in the context of rulers being divine (like Egyptian Pharaohs) or representatives of such (as Christian kings were supposed to be). There's a lot of stuff that a book with that title could be talking about.)

So, I finally caught th latest episode. Honestly, the most interesting thing about this, for me, is Jack's behaviour. He's spent the last few episodes all alone, and we've seen him having a more dour, depressed personality... then today, when he has a chance to actually interact with another person, he kind of goes back to being the old Jack again. It's cool; he's trying to win over Ashi, certainly, but it's a nice point of writing, showing how people interact with themselves and with one another... Also, comedy. So much comedy, which was great. I've seen someone compare it to a "real" old chool Jack show, and that vibe definitely is in place; there is comedy, there is action.. over all, I liked the episode.

My accent is weird. I've been told I have a very "American" sounding accent... which is probably an indicator that I watch/imitate far too much television, considering I've only ever been to America once, when I was around five years old

I actually dropped off of the Agents train during season three; what I heard about the way it was going didn't particularly interest me. So... Can anyone rate the seasons for me? How does season four compare to the stuff that's gone before; marked improvement, slight downgrade, what?

So... a little while ago, I posted an essay in the Random Stuff thread. It was about Warbreaker, and is kind of meant as a trial run for something. Ive been wanting to do a blog analysing topics for a while, so i thought starting with one of the reasons why Warbreaker is my favorite Cosmere book would be a good start. And... I was thinking, maybe it would bare re-posting it here in a seperate topic? I hope that doens't count as "double-posting". Honestly, it maybe should have been here to begin with... So... um, yeah. For anyone who is interested: some disconnected ramblings on Warbreaker. Enjoy?

Thanks to Circumstances, I am doing 2 extra hours at work, for no pay. Two hours early...meaning I'm heading in to work at 4am, and won't be leaving until 6pm Fantastic.

Well, my vacation time is over, and is ending in maybe the worst way it could. I start work at 6am tomorrow(urgh). Work lasts 12 hours (Urgh). Tomorrow is the first of five working days for me this week (URGH). I knew I was gonna have to pay for my holiday sooner or later. Was kinda hoping it would be later though

Multi-Master story might be quite fun. Or maybe we'll actually see his regeneration

I haven't watched Rick and Morty, though it looks fun Having watched the third episode... wow, okay. So, the series has been dark since the reboot; that was obvious. But honestly, this episode felt... It felt even darker than the previous ones? The look (and sound) as Jack pulled the knife out of his side, just how caked in blood he was, the ghost!Jack stuff... It was effective, certainly, but man. That was dark.

Nice name, probably doesn't fit with the setting though. But Link's hrose is Epona. It's always Epona. More seriously, I think I'll use a variation of Freya. Thanks!

Anyone got any decent names for a horse? I'm making a character for a Pathfinder campaign, and trying to come up with a half-decent name for my trusty steed

Vapour Snake is your bodyguard? Lyla didn't want to say it out loud, in case it turned out to be an elaborate practical joke the two were playing. Actually, she wasn't entirely sure she could say it out loud; her jaw felt like it was hanging somewhere around her knees. Dumb, she chastised herself. Dumb, dumb, dumb. After all, she was trying to look like an adult, but here she was just gawking. But who could blame her? She was in the same room as Vapor Sparking Snake. He was in Lyla's list of top ten favourite epics; she had an entire page of her scrap book filled with pictures of him. And his unit, of course, but the point was Vapour Snake. If she didn't want to look like an idiot child in front of Autumn, she especially didn't want to do so in front of Vapour. If Lyla was going to have an epic bodyguard, she'd want it to be Vapour. If it couldn't be Shiny, of course. Or Scribbler. Or Kosc- Why did they look at one another like that, though? Maybe Autumn thought that Lyla wouldn't notice; adults always seemed to think that kids didn't notice things they did. Even if Lyla totally wasn't a kid; she was still a photographer. She still noticed things. Like how she noticed she was still staring at Vapour Snake. She peeled her eyes away from him and focused on Autumn. After all, as cool as he was, Vapour Snake was just another epic. And Lyla had just spent the better part of a day with two other epics. If she could handle Shiny's aggressing cuddling, she could handle being in the same room as Vapour Snake without freaking out. Even if the bodyguard excuse sounded pretty flimsy. "Right. So, miss Glass- Autumn. There was some stuff I was wondering about, if that's cool with you?" She took a step further into the room, trying to project all the confidence of the young woman that Shiny said she was. "So, like, I had some cool photos of the Panda Invasion that I figured maybe someone would be interested in, you know, for archiving purposes and stuff, and also I was wondering who I have to talk to about leaving the Dalles?" She managed to slip that right into the conversation. Sparks, she was smooth. She tapped the camera around her neck, feeling inordinately proud of the subterfuge, and only taking a few, snatched glances at Vapour Snake. She absolutely, one hundred percent wasn't staring at the guy. That would be childish, and unprofessional.

Finally started watching the series. Only seen the first two episodes so far, but... yeah, I enjoyed it. It was cool seeing Jack back again. Aku sounded a little strange, but that might have been colored by the fact that i know it isn't Mako doing the voice this time around.

So... you aren't WalDo? So much for that theory (I am vaugely amused by the fact that I'm the only Vin for an entire forum of Elends thuogh ) I guess if we want to keep this in the general forum, you could open the topic to "fictional characters in general that you identify with"?

Sometimes I kind of feel like people don't want me. Like I'm annoying, or the tag-along kid. I haven't really got any kind of social circle offline, and I'm starting to get really self-conscious and maybe a little lonely/bothered by it.

Vin. Vin Vin Vin Vin Vin. I've rambled about this at length before. Vin was the first character I've read in a long time who I identified with; not someone who I liked, not someone who I admired or aspired to or thought was cool and badass. Vin was the first time I really read a character's thoughts, saw how they viewed the world, and thought "That's me!" Vin isn't my favorite Cosmere character by any stretch, but she is the one who I feel the most fellowship with.

Looker? Sorry, is that a thing I missed? Doesn't help that I haven't played all the games. And certainly haven't played them in a long time.

Can any Pokémon fans help me out with something? I'm just wondering if there is enough information available to construct a timelime/world map for the Pokémon universe. For... reasons
