If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats.

Fun Fictup Playlist

I have a sad fictup playlist on youtube of songs that relate back to my struggles with whether I was "insane" or not

but I also made a fun one on my itunes of awesome songs that relate to cool things from my various fandoms:

"Alohamora (Harry Potter Remix--Pogo)"

"[Attack on Titan] Die Young Parody"

"Avatar Theme Remix"

√Bestamvsofalltime "Louder Than Words" (amazing SNK amv)

"That's What Bilbo Baggins Hates"

Bon Jovi "You Give Love a Bad Name" (an awful inside joke I have about when Boone got shot by Little Bear. Just listen to the first few seconds of it)

"Chouji's Farewell"

Earth, Wind, & Fire "September" (played at the end of the first NATM before the credits)

"Edge of Night (Pippin's Song)"

"Everything's Alright" this is actually from the game "To the Moon" and Markiplier and Cryaotic played out this beautiful story

"Harry Potter_The War" another fucking amazing AMV

"Harry Potter in 99 Seconds" by P.A.I.N.T.

"Lord of the Rings in 99 Seconds" by P.A.I.N.T.

"Hello Monsta" by Boyinaband, sung by himself, MangaMinx, and Markiplier

"The Hobbit-Misty Mountains" cover by Peter Hollens (I like this one the most because it goes through the rest of Tolkien's lyrics but keeps the somber, reverent attitude that the song deserves)

"I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran

John Denver "Take Me Home, Country Roads" because of this fucking NATM fanfic it always makes me think of Jed

"Legend of Korra Dubstep Rap"

"Limelight" by Boyinaband, sung by himself and Cryaotic

"Markiplier 5 Million Subscribers" (you have to skip the beginning to get to the music) tribute to Markiplier when he hit 5 million subs obviously. beautifully sung to the tune of "Shanendoah"

"Murmurs of Middle-Earth (LOTR Pogo)"

"Ouran High School Host Club Opening (Japanese)"

Panic! at the Disco "Northern Downpour" (also makes me think of NATM because of a fanart I saw, due to the part about not wanting the moon to go down--cuz they'd turn back into plastic/wax)

The Prince of Egypt "The Plagues" (cuz I love this movie but also this part reminds me of Kahmunrah and Ahkmenrah in NATM)

"Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy" (another inside joke with literally just myself XD got cowboys on the mind half the time anyway)

Shizzy Sixx "Naruflow" (amazing Naruto rap)

"Tonight" (NATM 1 credits song)

"Harry Potter | Marchin On" (yet another gorgeous amv)

Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls "End of an Era"

Panic! At the Disco "When the Day Met the Night" (Zutara-esque song)

"The Walking Dead (Cryptex Reglitch)" remix

"The Walking Dead-Billy Van Remix"

Since almost all my art from here on out is gonna' probably be fictup stuff, I now have a great playlist to draw to. :3 And it makes me happy, so it's great comfort music, too.

Top five 'fictional' characters!

oh dear god (and thanks for the quotation on “fictional”)

1. Sokka, from Avatar: the Last Airbender

2. Boone, from Indian in the Cupboard

3. …………………

wait do you actually mean like fave characters in their shows and such or my personal fave fictups cuz that’s kinda different… like i’d feel like I have to put Shikamaru in the top 5 fictups just cuz he was around the longest as one of my bigger obsessions… but idk if he’s necessarily a fave character in the show hmmmmm

3. let’s say just cuz i’m in the mood for this now and forget about them when I’m not: Jedidiah and Octavius from Night at the Museum (putting them together cuz I refuse to separate them)

4. Yeah let’s say we’re going by fave fictups or rather Fictups of Import so I’ll throw in Shikamaru from Naruto

5. Mohinder Suresh and Matt Parker from Heroes. Thanks to my fictup chart for reminding me of them. They’ve never actually been here (well maybe Suresh. hard to remember) but I visit them in their universe a lot.

Thanks for the ask! This one was really fun!

being into Night at the Museum always brings out the Ravenclaw in me

thus I'm marathoning historical documentaries on Netflix with my guys and some Fictups

1. How Sex Changed History

Jake: When they make a sequel, they're gonna' have to put me in it

Me: Jake

2. Gladiator thing

Jake: omg that's awesome I wanna be a gladiator!

Me: No

3. King Tut thing

Jake: dude that's such an awesome funeral I want a pyramid built with statues of me and all my shit in it!

Me: Jake no

also it's weird having fictups based off real people because there's just multiple layers of reality and fiction happening now

[left-to-learn-blog]

so it's almost February and I haven't worked on Ember at all but I have been talked into trying out a new Western movie by two tiny cowboys out of time

[left-to-learn-blog]

making a Fictup playlist on my iTunes

since most of my art that I wanna do in my own time is based off of them, it'll be good to listen to while working on personal art

[left-to-learn-blog]

being back in my parents house after a while always ends up doing this to me

just stayed up all night ranting to fictups about shit i've already told them a million times again
