I've just watched the English dub trailer for Final Fantasy XIII and I don't think I've ever been so horrified by anything in my entire life. I am actually sickened by it.

I'm going to cut this for ranting and possible spoilers about and for EVERYTHING Square have ever done... and for its EPIC LENGTH. Enjoy.

( Here be disgust, disappointment and daftness in equal measure )

And, finally, a quote this rant inspired:
If you make that a little less coherent, people might think you were drunk - the Smidge.

Torchwood: A Day in the Death

( Fan-bloody-tastic beyond words. But words are all I have here so... Oh, and watch out for pretty mahoosive spoilers, such as me describing the whole of the teaser... )

Torchwood, I love you.

I made the stupid, stupid mistake of watching the end of Escaflowne today.

It's so unbelievably sad and heartbreaking that I... well, I... I sobbed like a child. There were proper tears, hitching breath and everything. I was blinded by mascara and had to go get a hug from the Smidge.

But, you know, when Van breaks through the Atlantis machine and swoops down to Hitomi and... and... and the end! I hate that some morons say the ending is unsatisfactory and rubbish. To me, it's the most perfect way to end it. It's human and real. It may be devestating, and you may not really want it to happen, but it's perfect and right. It couldn't have been any other way.

And I'm trying to write all this without spoilers but it's so hard. ^^;

But anyway, it's the same as the good ending in Shadow Hearts II. Again, it's sad but it's perfect. Yuri's choice is the most wonderful thing I've ever known. You don't see things like that often enough.

I'm inwardly squeeing, by the way. Shadow Hearts is HEAVEN.

And in other news, I really need to do some more Chris icons for biohazard100. I've been useless with them lately. I've just seen doodlesama's post and I fell in love with her icons. And Chris. And Chris and Barry. Lol.

So, yeah, I really need to do them. And I want to set up my artwork accout (which I really want to call Cake and Doodles for some reason. :D). And I need to do so many other things as well. People keep saying: 'Just think, in another week or so all this'll be over.' Well, I don't want to wish Christmas away, I'll just be happy when I finish work next Sunday. Then I might have the time and energy to actually do something.

:)

I haven't really done much again today~! I spent the morning simultaneously writing "Bonds", doodling Leon and faffing about with Photoshop. As a result, I didn't really get much done of any of them... Hehe. There's just so much I want to do that I end up trying to do everything at once. I'm getting really impatient with "Bonds" because I really just want to upload the next chapter. Of course, I need to finish it first... @_@ It's odd, I really want to write it, but my impatience is making it difficult to do so... I can't explain it properly... I'm just strange, I guess... *nods*

Leon doodling makes me laugh~! I tried to draw him in Ashley's outfit... Hmmm... That was funny XD I find him quite difficult to draw though because I can't seem to make him look old~! >:( He just keeps turning out really young-looking, which is kind of disturbing... Haha. I'll just keep going, though~! I want to draw Chris, too... And I've got a fascination with herbs... I want to draw something involving the mysterious herbs... It reminds me of one of the stories in the Shadow Hearts Anthology where they all go mad eating strange plants... :)

Hmmm... I seem to be writing a load of nonsense again... Sorry. ^_^

Anyway, I'm off now to watch Dexter. That programme is just GODLY. And just so funny~! And, yeah, think I'll eat a bagel... :D
