The Adventures of a Girl and Her Dragon

An OBNOXIOUS personality, to be precise. :D

"He" is a male worgen warlock, named for Viper, the most ill-tempered member of the Lucky Thirteen. Unlike Waveform, my worgen druid, who hated the entire time she was in Gilneas, Víper is having fun. Víper is gleefully running from place to place blowing things up (he's a destruction warlock, which means All The Fire Spells, and since darthneko started Crossfire, a worgen mage, with me and we're still getting triple xp bonus for playing together, Víper is also seriously over-leveled).

Víper was not thrilled with his starting gear, which he said - and, yes, I am quoting the imaginary person - made him "look like a priest". He is even less thrilled with the lovely blue ensemble he is presently wearing (though he says on Crossfire it looks hot).

( Really, I think you can see why he feels inadequate next to Crossfire. )

He is slightly mollified by the fact that Crossfire has died multiple times, even though it kind of makes him feel like he should be following her around like a large, surly, fireball-throwing guard dog. This doesn't stop him from laughing at her when it happens, mind you. Also, she's LITTLE, he says, in this vaguely horrified "my whole cohort was pretty much the same size wtf" tone. Not as little as she was when they were human, but still. LITTLE. Which is odd for me as player, since when playing female worgen I've never had the impression they were small (female humans are small, female Pandaren are small, female worgen, not so much).

So, yes, this is what I am reduced to: full-on RPing my TF OCs in WoW. And I'm having a blast.

Edit: If any WoW players are wondering, the Guild of Awesome design uses the Gilnean flag instead of the worgen symbol because I, personally, think the worgen symbol is stupid and lopsided, and I'm the primary player of worgen in the guild. So when darthneko was working on the design, I said, "please can has Gilnean flag?" and she said "can has!" and there it is, all nice and balanced looking at the bottom of the design.

Is LJ really still down, or does it just hate me?

Guild of Awesome.

I suppose I need to show off the other half of the World of Warcraft guild we built around our TF fannishness. The ♥ all pandas all the time ♥ half of the guild can be seen here.

( Here there be pandas. And worgen. And a draenei. )

I still need a WoW icon.

I abso-freakin-lutely loved Battleship.

There were things I would have changed. For example, I think the introduction of the main character as a pretty decent but unfocused doofus was about 30 minutes too long, and I frankly would have axed the scientist character completely (though I suppose he provided vital plot exposition on the satellite uplink, he just seemed a pretty stereotypical wash as a character). But overall, once the first 40 minutes were out of the way, I LOVED the movie. It hit my emotional buttons dead center, especially when ( spoiler )

And I really liked the alien projectiles looking like pegs from the old battleship game. Don't judge me for that either.

So yes, Battleship, a movie made of explosions and tactics and shiny Bayformer-esque special effects and Earth as underdog. Or, as I described it in IM, it's a typical Michael Bay movie except the director, Peter Berg, is capable of coherent storytelling and the movie mostly lacks the things I hate about Bay movies. I recommend it, though frankly whenever I rewatch I will probably skip the first half hour to forty minutes and get straight to the aliens.

But I really hate "it's just a game" as an excuse to do things half-assed and stupid. Because, see, where YOU say I'm taking things too seriously, I say there are a million other things I could be spending my time on if I didn't care about this one.

Apparently the artists who take commissions simply do not want my money.

(One artist I contacted, got put on her commission list without any communication from her, and now I'm off said list, also without any communication; the other artist has just fallen off the face of the earth. I get it, universe: no art for me.)

Chrome informing me that it has been updated with "bettar spell-chek!" Oh google, I know you're evil, but some days I love you in spite of it.

Because I can honestly say that I have never had any of my Alliance chars get a guild invite literally 30 seconds after appearing in the starting area. My poor Tauren hunter barely had her hooves on the ground before she got her first. And then they whispered me. And then after I blocked guild invites, someone ELSE whispered me.

And then a bit later, whilst quietly engaged in pet battles in Orgrimmar, someone replied to my polite "No thanks, not looking for a guild" with "Yes you ARE." Umm, no. No, I am not. I am fighting a spiny lizard with my prairie dog. GO AWAY.

While I sometimes get whispered with guild invites in Alliance territory, I can honestly say that my polite "no thanks" has always been answered with blessed silence or "okay, thanks for your time."

This Star Trek reboot fic emmagrant01 wrote, where Kirk has an encounter with, as once commenter put it, an "alien Viagra cactus".

Needless to say, I feel put out that Star Trek fandom came up with this, as obviously cactaurs ought to have such side effects. Really, FF fandom, why have you been slacking in this area?

And it really resonates with me. I think you should go read it.

It displays items in your shop and lets people check out right from whatever page they're on.

What it doesn't do is work on Dreamwidth.

So y'all will just have to settle for a link to my shop, which currently has a whopping 3 items and 2 custom knit listings. Clicky clicky.

In other news, it is flippin' cold tonight. :(

PS - If you are wondering, moogle, yes, that dragon hat is presently folded up in an envelope waiting to be mailed to you. :)

About how I want to shape the end of the dragon tail hat. This means the hat I'm making for raisedbymoogles is gonna be used for science experimentin'!

Anyone interested in applying?
