Random not-negative stuffs
Feb. 12th, 2013 04:56 pmFor the record, I realized that my intended post not only pertained to a movie that as of right now was just released in the UK and most of Europe (and I know I have at least one UK reader)- that being why I held off on that post in the first place, but also that I planned to show someone who missed the US theatrical run the DVD sometime in March, after it comes out. Throw in the "refreshed memory" and "fact-checking ability" benefits of owning said DVD, and that would be why I'm still saving that particular post for later. But I'm still going to deliver on the whole making a positive post after so many negative ones thing. Since I couldn't think of one specific thing post-worthy, I decided to make with the random thoughts.
- My current D&D character should totally have a "Jaws" conversation (you know, the one Kevin Smith spoofed in "Chasing Amy") with two others in the party. Bonus if Shadow's character (currently an ostensibly "serious" one) chimes in.
- Given that my doll collecting is mostly in the interest of having representations of certain characters, some will be plushies instead of "actual" dolls. I mean, if that's what exists as an actual, pre-made representation of certain characters, why not?
- On a related note, I don't feel the need or strong desire to "upgrade" my Jem dolls to the Integrity line- in general, the Hasbro ones will do just fine. I say "in general" because if Integrity were to make characters (and I do mean characters, not outfits) that Hasbro never did (Riot, for example), well, that may change things. I'll have to see what kind of display space I'd have before I start seeking out things like the Star Stage or the Rockin' Roadster (in both cases not really caring if the radio/cassette player parts worked or not).
- At risk of jinxing it, I have found two new fandoms (well, one's not really "new", but whatever) where nobody has said or done anything to scare me or make me feel bad about myself. Because of said jinxing risk, I won't say which they are, though those who know me can easily guess.
- Regardless of how long I actually stay at Otakon this year (only going for two days/one night and not even bothering with a badge if Shadow doesn't procure an artist alley table), my cosplay plans are booked solid. Though if she does get a table, perhaps I can squeeze in one more (though I do mean that literally).
- Still planning to write the DC series despite... recent stuff that's happened. Though I'm not so sure I can write them in the order the events therein occur as my mind keeps skipping around to stuff that would take place at varying points in time, and in fact know I have at least two major "gaps", so to speak. I do, however, know that there will be at least two "sub-series" (for lack of a better term): one, as mentioned before, taking place in 1998-1999- the Trio's freshman year of college. The college in question (a real one, BTW, there are actually enough colleges/universities in Maryland, Virginia, and even DC itself that I don't really need to make one up), at least for story purposes, has the "first years must live on campus" rule. Also, the buildings are co-ed but the rooms are not, so there's some material to be mined from the Trio's situation that academic year (and a place to work in someone from a fourth series). Another concerns Tonks, whose professional and personal life takes an interesting turn circa 2010 (and for those who have guessed what it is and are wondering if I'm going to take it in certain direction because of the aforementioned recent events, I did not spare Tonks her canon death just to kill her off again).
Okay, I think that's enough now. Again, I will make the post I originally intended- some time next month.
