Hissing Anger




I called it "Hissing Anger" for two reasons. Well, first because he's obviously a cat, and second because he's angry.
Simple right? :)

My Brother-who's-not-really-my-brother-but-my-cousin-who's-like-a-brother asked me to do this for his RP with one of my friends.

He said it was perfect, buuuuut I have a feeling I could do better ;)

The picture is copyright to me, and it took me 45 minutes on PAINT.

For next time,

Anime Plushies



Everybody collects things. Weather it be stamps, posters, umbrellas, action figurines, Books, DVDs, or even Video Games. For me, all of those are what I enjoy collecting, especially figurines.

But there's always one thing that I can never turn down; an anime Plush Toy.

To me, these Plushies are like my life. Literally.
(More Below)



I remember when I bought my very first anime plush toy, I was at a Convention with my friends and even though I had a bag, I carried that Plushie around all day and didn't put him down until I got home.

On the next day of the Con, I bought two more plushies. I was obsessed- and still am!
At the moment, I have eight plushies, but that is because I've only been collecting for a few months.

What gets me irritated though, is that there are no plush toys of Female anime characters that I like!! And so, I am constantly on the look-out for any anime plush toys. If you know of any good places, I'd love to hear of them.

Post a comment and let me know what YOU collect!!

Angels and Demons??


For a while, I've been watching an anime called "Kuroshitsuji."
The above picture is of Sebastian MIchaelis and his master Ciel Phantomhive- the two main characters of the following anime.

This anime holds the concept of Angels and Demons, giant dogs (once again under the concept of demons), and even a strange turn on an angel being.

This angel being tells the veiwer during the show that it- and I say it for a good reason- has no gender; meaning it meerly takes on the form of a male or female.
During this show however, Kuroshitsuji, the angel has a female form- Angela- and a male form- Ash.

These two are very interesting because one mind wants to destroy the world and the other wants to save it.... by destroying it.

Weird?

Yes.

But the anime is worth watching many, many times over :)

For next time,

Reccomendation- BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad



Yukio, known by his friends as "Koyuki", is a regular 14-year-old Japanese boy who enters junior high school with two childhood acquaintances. One is a pervert, and ironically the other is a highly sought after female student.

Koyuki's boring life is changed when he saves an odd-looking dog, named Beck, from some kids. Beck's owner turns out to be an emerging rock musician, Ryûsuke Minami, who soon influences Koyuki to start playing the guitar, and even gives one to him.

The story focuses on the trials and tribulations of their rock band named BECK, and Koyuki's relationships with the members of the band, in particular Ryûsuke and his sister, Maho.



Now this anime, BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad (let's just call it BECK), inspired me to begin expressing myself through song and music.
During my time watching it, I got to learn the songs and even started singing along whenever the band would play a song. The music always got me up and dancing, singing and sometimes a scene would even have my crying.

The Theme song is HIT IN THE USA by The Beat Crusaders.

In this Anime, even the Animation itself is AMAZINGLY WELL DONE.
And I mean, really well done.
The details on the people, backgrounds, scenery... It's all very amazing.
During the series, the character Ryûsuke Minami gives Koyuki a guitar. The name and brand of the guitar escape me at the moment, however I clearly remember that the guitar looked exactly like the original one in real-life.

I would definitely recommend this anime to any and all music lovers.

Just One Of Those Days




I'm feeling really down today, and have decided just to rant a little and get some feelings out.

Have you ever had the feeling of complete and utter sadness? Like you just want to curl up into a ball and cry your heart out??
For the past two or three days, that's what my heart has been telling me to do; cry my heart out.

However over the years I have trained myself to deal with my emotions by holding them in, that's how I've lived now for many years.
For me, I didn't really have any REAL friends until Grade 9, where I met lots of very kind people at a new school different from the students from my old school.

Because of having a lack of friends for ten years, I have trained my mind to keep emotions in, never cry, and keep strong.
SO when my heart hurts like this, and I want to cry, I can't; the tears just won't come.


Heh, thanks for reading.

Until next time,
Tomo

Thinking- Assassin's Creed II




Recently, I found out that I am half Italian.
In Assassin's Creed II, the main character- Ezio- is an Italian Assassin.

Now, After a while I started noticing myself start acting LIKE an Assassin. It was weird, and I was even starting to follow the Assassin's Creed.

Hide in Plain Sight
Stay your Blade from the Flesh of the Innocent
Never Compromise the Brotherhood.

Anyway, I have to go for now.

For Later,

It Got Me Thinking- Shugo Chara

~



At first glance, her classmates refer to Amu Hinamori as "cool and spicy" and rumors speculate about her personal life. However, her real personality is that of a very shy girl who has trouble showing her true personality.
One night, Amu wishes for the courage to show her "would-be" self, and the next morning finds three brightly colored eggs— red, blue, and green— in her bed.
At first, she is alarmed, but realizes she must have really wished to change. These eggs hatch into three Guardian Characters: Ran, Miki, and Su. The Guardian Characters aid Amu in discovering who she truly is and help fulfill Amu's dreams.



Now, I've been watching this Anime for a long, LONG time now.
But after I had began it I started thinking, "What if I have a Guardian Chara just waiting to come out?"
For a long time now I've been having a tough time at home and at school.
(And with old friends, Peer-Pressure, etc etc :(

So I have always sort of dreamed of my own little Chara in my mind.

But just Imagine, a real little Character fro your own heart that you could talk to forever and ever- you'd always have a friend!!
