Here I Rant and Here I will Stay

Random musings from me (redqueenmiku) on things I'm dealing with pertaining to my art, my writing, my fandom life...and just life in general. Just as a warning, I tend to be a dumb sometimes heh heh heck :)

Akaba Reiji is the only person I know that can hit a fricked-up pose like this and still maintain aura.

My friends and I have a great time with Fire Emblem. Here is a sampling of some of the many jokes we've perpetuated over the years...because yes, in case you forgot, it has been multiple years.

How quickly my good friend forgets...

Hello this is the anon from back in May, wondering once again about what's happened to your theory debunking channel. In your return video you said you had some plans for videos in the coming months, yet it's been 3 months of nothing but radio silence. What's been happening?

What's been happening is the Encyclospeedia is massive and I've had to rethink all my plans for everything and also I have a job now. I'm a real accountant now...with a 40-hour work week to boot.

So yeah. Expect me to be a bit slow while I try to figure out what the heck I'm doing.

*shrugs*

(In case you don't like to answer questions on your other blog) What happened to your theory-debunking channel? You've been absent from there for like, a year.

Guess it's about time for me to answer the call.

Short answer: the channel is not dead. I will make my return.

For the long answer, that will be said on Youtube at a later date. Who knows? I may even do that next week. That sounds like a solid plan to me.

Stay tuned. I have plans.

Maybe my life would be a bit better if I didn’t name my Google Docs with my fanfictions on them stupid things like “He is a bird now”, “minecraft haha lol”, and “Espio Story, Frick Titles”.

I keep consistently losing one because its name lumps it with a bunch of old documents. That document is called “The microwave”. It is not, in fact, about a microwave.

What is Gongenzaka? ~ D.J. Goldfarb

Well, mister Goldfarb, the answer is simple.

I wish someone had told me two and a half years ago that amethystshipping was already a thing, because now i look stupid for tagging my dumb yuri and masumi ship amethystshipping

New name for the ship is Ioliteshipping, it’s a better gem for it anyway

[justredqueenmikuthings]

I have been spelling Gongenzaka’s name wrong for five years why did no one tell me?

[justredqueenmikuthings]

working on Memoriam tonight : )

[justredqueenmikuthings]

Me: it’s been like a week since i opened up requests for that palette challenge, i should really buckle down and do some of tho--

never mind.

Okay, but can I just mention that the improvement I’ve made with Anora in particular is absolutely insane?

Like, 2014 vs now, it’s no contest. He actually looks like the intimidating seven-foot canine pseudo-deity I always envisioned him as and I’m living for it.

I just found THE absolute strangest thing.

I found this old sheet labelled “Cancelled Characters” from this period I call “The First Purge”, where I apparently scrapped over a hundred characters from several different super-old stories in, like, early 2011 or so...

BUT, among these characters are several really strange oddities from the Wonder Girl series and LS1 (this would have been around the season 3 era for LS1, although I apparently added to this list down the line all the way to about season 7 or 8???), including, bafflingly, Rebecca, the Chancellor from Polentia, Jake’s adoptive parents, Timothy’s entire family, Iolana, Nyla, and Cilla?????????

Needless to say, I’m extremely confused about what the heck my intentions were at that period.

[justredqueenmikuthings]

I was planning to spend all night scrambling to get tomorrow’s video finished and ready to go. I was functioning solely on stress and anxiety.

Suddenly, my schedule opened up and freed me from the stress of working on this video for a while.

Bad news: that only happened because my screen broke.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand rimshot. *jazz hands*

[justredqueenmikuthings]

Remember this? Remember when this happened all the way back in March?

I only just got my laptop back from the repair company today.

Let me be a lesson: never waste your manufacturer’s warranty and don’t trust Office Depot customer support for anything period.

who is even my target audience when i post things at 2 am????

[kookygoonie]

i’m curious, what was the first fanfic you’ve ever read?

mine was a Mario crossover with Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends when i was maybe….7-8?????

i think it was titled “The Little Shadow Siren” and was on fanfiction.net

(idk HOW i wound up on the Mario crossovers??? idek what i had looked up to find fanfiction lol)

but it was a Little Mermaid spoof, sort of, where Vivian was paired with Eduardo. but instead of mermaids, it was like the lower/upper Rogueport keeping them apart or something

so i guess it was a Cinderella spoof too?

and i remember leaving a comment saying something like it was really good, but i had some questions like why did they choose to pair Vivian and Ed, why Fosters Home, and all that stuff. and i was afraid to give out my first name so i used my middle name lol

[justredqueenmikuthings]

Ooh, I’ll jump on this train.

Some of the first fanfictions I ever read were awful Vocaloid fanfics (as an aside, the Vocaloid fanfiction community is really really hard to wade through because the amount of horrible degenerate people is at an all-time high, so that should give you a picture of what I was dealing with already). The first fanfiction I can remember reading was this fic I think was called “People Call Me Lucky? Ha!”. It was about Rin Kagamine being an absolutely awful person, getting expelled from school, and having to go to an all-girls school except WHOOPS she accidentally gets sent to an all-boys school instead and she keeps wishing yaoi on all the boys and she secretly has a crush on Len who is absolutely stated to be her brother in the fic and it was awful, haha.

I read this on my 3DS’s internet browser when I was, like, thirteen or fourteen.

Wow, my first fanfiction story is depressing, oops.

[justredqueenmikuthings]

I’d get a lot more work done if I could watch The Suite Life of Zack and Cody while I draw, just saying.
