We interrupt this emoing to bring you an entry.

I've started reading this new manga called 7 Billion Needles. It is excellent and I am glad I was talked into buying it. The protagonist is a girl who would get along really, really well with Neku from TWEWY. Or maybe they would not because they both hate people. But they have the exact same mindset and the headphones to go with it. I would tell you about the plot but I'm not sure how much I can describe or should spoil. It is part freaky and part sweet and part awesome though. The only problem is that there are three more volumes to buy and I am but a poor college student. :(

I have given up on the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG for the time being. I have, however, gotten a fair bit better at the Pokémon TCG and even formed a semi-decent deck. I've even beaten people. :B Hit me up if you want to play me on Lackey, anyone.

Okay that is enough words. Have a wallpaper meme! (stolen from [livejournal.com profile] wraithi (again))
01. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their LJ.
02. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
03. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on.





I'd been cycling between a bunch of different pictures that I snagged from Skaianet in the past few days. This one was cute and funny and a good desktop size so I stuck with it. The artist, Sockpuppy/[livejournal.com profile] luzerna, is one of the best artists in the fandom. The picture itself is a parody of this comic by Kate Beaton (tell me it doesn't fit). And the light blue background is from the few days where this (by Lexxy from the forums) was my desktop. :B

Also I made a screenshot of it the way it was when I saw the meme, which was with a bunch of icons on it, but then I cleaned it up some and took a new one. Here is the old one for those who strive for accuracy.

...wait that is not the kind of meme that people can participate in. HAVE THIS ONE TOO (stolen from [livejournal.com profile] ludwig)

Leave a comment with the name of a series/fandom and I will tell you which people on my flist (including myself?) I'd choose to play the roles of the main characters. If there are a lot of main characters, tell me which groups/characters you'd prefer that I cast.

:B

e: ALSO HI [livejournal.com profile] cheshirecgrin YOU ARE MY FRIEND NOW

FFFFFFFFFFFT THAT. IS THE BEST DESKTOP EVER. NO LIE. I really hope that is how they actually met because it is just too epic. I loovveee Luzerna's work, so much. Her Soviet Propaganda / Homestuck one is one of my favorite Homestuck fanarts everrr. Lexxy and FauxMonstur are two of my other favorite artists.

And uhhh... while we're on the topic, HOMESTUCK for the meme. Troll cast.

[identity profile] min19.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, but there are quite a lot of trolls, so if you don't feel like doing that, just the four kids are fine. :>

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's cool, man. I was actually kind of hoping someone would do the trolls. :>
It was kind of disconcerting how easy this was.

I didn't cast Vriska or Equius because no one fit them and I figured most people wouldn't want to be associated with them anyway. :P

Normally I would probably argue this, but upon reading this I giggled and did the happy clap thing Jade does, so I think I just proved your point. XD

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Awww! That is so cute and you are totally Jade from now on. :D

[identity profile] cheshirecgrin.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
But I'm being Sollux for Halloweeeeeeeen!

And now I'm just picturing Sollux acting like Jade and the very thought is hilarious and mildly frightening. But it'll probably be par for the course on Halloween, seeing as my friend who's being Karkat is almost never angry, and my friend being Kanaya is kind of perverted.

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
:O You are? That is the coolest Halloween group ever man.

Also those are some excellent personality mashups. I kind of want to draw that.

[identity profile] cheshirecgrin.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Ehehehe, we're all just a bunch of nerds, really. Our Kanaya is forcing her boyfriend to (eventually, not for Halloween) be Equius and I'm trying to convince three others to join us for Otakon or something as Aradia, Terezi, and Vriska. None of their personalities match the characters either...except the guy we'd get for Equius kind of comes off as a creeper so I guess that works.

You should draw that. Doooooooo iiiiiiiit!

Hmm... Bleach? (Arrancar, more specifically, but I'd be curious about any characters.)

...and Kuroshitsuji. Yes, I am stealing two fandoms.

Goddamn, we just became friends and I find out you like the Pokemon TCG. I just learned how to play, like, 2 weeks ago. I have a pretty freaking awesome psychic deck if I do say so myself (but sadly I know none of the tournament banned cards or anything because at college we don't use those rules).

Now I am off to do that wallpaper meme.

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
It's cool man, I only got into it a couple weeks ago. :B I don't care about any of the tournament stuff, so don't worry. Play me on Lackey sometime!

[identity profile] cheshirecgrin.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Hm, never heard of Lackey before, but I've looked it up and I think I have to totally try it now!

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, sweet. Let me know how that goes. :D

[identity profile] patamon.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
I have never seen that comic before, but it did make me laugh. xD

Man, my desktop has been the same for almost a year now... xD;

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
She did a couple others like it if you're interested! :D Here (http://ib.skaia.net/post/list/Luzerna/1) is her tag on Skaianet.

It's cool, man. Mine at home has been the same for quite a few years. :P What's yours?

[identity profile] birdboy2000.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Digimon Adventure.

[identity profile] tymaporer.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Don't forget to cast me in stuff :D

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
...do you actually know any of the canons that have been asked? :|

I honestly considered making you Karkat but I thought you might take it as an insult.

[identity profile] tymaporer.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
No, but if anything comes up that I do know! XD Although I bet I'd be perfect for every role in everything *dramatic hair flip even though her hair is not flippy* Haha, whatever, I figured you would if there was something I knew. But if there's someone in something I don't know who just oozes me-itude, it's fine too :3nod: Not that anyone really oozes me-itude, but...bleh, this post is going on too long. Time to be random. Uh. Your mom.
