Welcome back to Neverland

 
So, I was never one for the Peter Pan disney movie, but so I stumbled upon this little miniseries called Neverland and now maybe I'll give the movie a chance, maybe not the disney movie but other Peter Pan movies at least. 
 
This little Mini-series from Syfy tells the story of how the young orphan Peter follows his guardian Jimmy and his fellow friends to a weird place called Neverland after the latter accidentaly startled a portal to get there. Now he has to figure out a plan to save them from the pirates and get them back home to London... 
 
I loved this twist of the original story. That they used portals to get in and out of Neverland, that Peter was a skilled pickpocketer together with the lost boys and how they followed the story to eventually get all the charactars to fall into the place we're all so familiar with. 
I'll admit that some of the special effect were kind of crap, while others was simply beautiful and just so lovely to watch.
 
 
This series made you love and hate everyone at the same time. It would get you annoyed with Peter, feel for captain Hook and even Tinkerbell was lovable. And the music was splendid! And now I'm really annoyed because I can't find it! 
 
I'd give this a top score if I only went on how it made me feel, but I did recognize faults in this and I suppose I should take them into account so.. 4/5 ;) 

Probably the best old game soundtrack in the world!

  • 14. Book? Could be The Outsiders.. or something. I don't know.
  • This or that:
  • 15. Invisibility or Ability to fly? Ability to fly, I'd expect.. I'm guessing if you can't control your invisibility it can get kind of annoying to become invisible when you want to be noticed.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2

 I'm excited! I enjoyed the first film and this actually seems like something I would enjoy xD It's just as goofy as the first so yes,, I'm excited. 
 
 

Mapoti!

 

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex strikes back

This lovely little game from 1997 was one of the reasons my childhood was so bloody fun! No, but seriously, this game took up a lot of mine, my siblings and my neighbours time by sitting for hours and taking turns throughout the entire game. I loved it then and I still love it now! 
 
There was something quite special about the atmosphere in this game. It managed to be funny, appealing to youngsters and frightening at the same time with some of the most horrible screams I've heard (some characters scream when they die, most of them doesn't sound to bad but all the humans sound horrific). It also manages to fit in animal abuse when one of the hidden stuff you can do is to jump on a tiny polar bear a few times to get loads of extra lives. 
 
This game takes place in a whole lot of different climates, basically in all weathers and places like the sewers and space. And the music is quite a treat in this game, at least to me. I did also have quite the crush on Crash when I was younger. 
 

Gaming video

So Hi! I did a gaming video. As in.. a video of me, playing a game. with me talking and all the pretty things that comes with. 
I didn't actually have any fun games to record and I only got a trial version of the thing I'm recording with but it's alright, so my game of choice was Stick Run on facebook. Which was actually quite fun so... yeah. Enjoy. Or.. Whatever.. 
 
Edit: Hehehe, I just rewatched my own video and noticed that I say "what happened!?" Quite a lot... I just hope that won't be my catchphrase if I ever start doing this for real.. xD 
 

Supremacy

 

Happy Valentines/Single awareness day!

Yay! it's valentines! .. For me that means, nothing more special than seeing my mum make a fancy dinner and yeah, that. For others it means celebrating the fact that you're loved and have someone to love. 
Valentines day also count as the most annoying day on facebook because it's filled with people complaining about the holiday itself and people complaining about people complaining. 
It seems that some single people are so desperate to have someone they blame the holliday itself for them being alone. How that is February 14th fault I have no idea. 
 
I personally have been single every valentines so far and couldn't care less about the fact. Because, simply enough, just because I don't have a partner doesn't make me unloved and it doesn't mean that I have nobody to love either.. I mean really? Stick your imagined lonliness up your arse and keep on living. It's just a bloody date. 
 
On another note, here's some interesting information aboout reproducing aka. sex. 
 

Editing experiments

 
I am trying to improve my photoediting. And since I'm self-taught the examples might not be all that great all the time. But I'm trying my best and I want to improve. This is one of the tests (since I've uploaded this picture before, I think..just that now it looks a bit different)

Tattoos

I've always liked tattoos. Well, some of them anyways. And I think subconciously I've always wanted one. But the desire has never been as strong as it is now. 
I know one of the ideas I've had is
  • having an eye on each wrist, which is something I still want.
  • Another Idea is having something I've drawn myself, one of my monsters or something like that.
  • And I think I would like to have something by Salvador Dali, seeing he's my favourite painter! 
  • I'd also like something about the Beatles, And I think something from Yellow Submarine would me most likely for me to get. I don't want something typical like "All you need is love" written on the inside of my arm or something awfully cheesy like that. Maybe I should make The Glove.. or just for fun Jeremy Hillary Boob Ph.D, even though I kind of dislike him xD Or the kinky boot beasts ;) Really.. the charactars in that movie have the best names! 
Also, If I could tattoo sounds I would tattoo the sound of the Chief blue meanie's laugh. Easily! 
 

Photography at Grandpa's

 
My Aunt asked me to help her sell some stuff, including her horses. So I went out there to take some pics for her of these things, for example two of the three horses on these picture. 
I'm actually sad to see the little one go, she's been at my granpa's for as long as I can remember. And it would feel weird that she wont be there anymore (figured they get her sold ofc.) She's really the cutest and sweetest horse I've met. 

Thank you!

 

You're the voice w. Merlin and King Arthur!

What I do when there's just too much depression about the show having ended...:)

Gender roles bothers me in any kind

 
When you grow up as a girl, the world tells you the things that you are supposed to be: emotional, loving, beautiful, wanted. And then when you are those things, the world tells you they are inferior: illogical, weak, vain, empty. The world teaches you that the way you exist in it is disgusting — you watch boys cringe backward in your dorm room when you talk about your period, blue water pretending to be blood in a maxi pad commercial. It is little things, and it is constant. In a food court in a mall, after you go to the gynecologist for the first time, you and your friend talk about how much it hurts, and over her shoulder you watch two boys your age turn to look at you and wrinkle their noses: the reality of your life is impolite to talk about. The world says that you don’t have a right to the space you occupy, any place with men in it is not yours, you and your body exist only as far as what men want to do with it. At fifteen, you find fifteen-year-old boys you have never met somehow believe you should bend your body to their will. At almost thirty, you find fifteen-year-old boys you have never met still somehow believe you should bend your body to their will. They are children. They are children.
- Stevie Nicks'
 

When I read stuff like this, about how it is like living in this world as a girl, I always feel like a different species or some kind of alien, because I never went through these kind of things. I've never experienced that the world expect me to be emotional and beautiful, in my life I've always rather been challenge to stand up for myself and to fight back, stay strong. To not let them get to you. I've never felt like people find me weak because of this or illogical nor vain, because even as a girl I'd like to think that I've proven myself not to be those things. And that people believe that I'm not has nothing to do with the fact that my genitals grow in and not out. 
 
Of course people cringe at people talking about their period (people, not boys) ofc they can't show blood on a tv comercial. The comercial is after all supposed to show something positive, and we don't associate blood as something positive. And period is disgusting, just as "we girls" find morning boners and ballsweat disgusting. 
 
I think that a lot of these things has more to do with how you behave rather than what gender you have, and I feel like stuff like this judge us to be exactly the same. Just as much as the "boys" have a certain view upon a gender, so does those who stand against it, like Stevie Nicks. Which is just as wrong in my opinion. 
 

Clocks!

Clocks are probably one of my favourite things! And as I've decided in my dreamworld of getting my own flat, I'm going to have a wall filled with them. Different kinds but that still matches my taste ofc. 
 
 
     

Merlin Fanart

I feel like drawing or painting something that has to do with Merlin. I usually don't draw fanart at all but I feel like I want to pay some kind of tribute to the show, but I don't know what to paint or draw, and considering that I'm awful at portraits I don't really feel like drawing any realistic faces. 
 
I have done something regarding Merlin before. Though not really the show, but a fanfiction about the show that I really liked because of the nature of the story. It was a modern day fic where magic still existed but you weren't allowed to use it, in facs, they took it away from you using a kind of metallic bracelet that is magically inserted into your skin on your wrist. They called it to "clip" people and the person who had had this happen to them were called "the clipped" and were looked down upon. Some people even found ways of using this metallic thing to gain control over the people and use them as some kind of slaves. Most of these people were homeless or lived in certain shelters. Very interesting, at least I thought so. And I drew my own version of what I thought the bracelet may look like. 
 
Now I want to draw something that actually had something to do with the show though.. but yeah. I don't really know what. So.. help?

Movie Time: Frankenweenie

Based on the old Tim Burton short film, Frankenweenie has rise once again and made it to the cinema as a stop-motion animated film.
 
 
You know, I have a real weakness for Tim Burton and his work, it seems he could do no wrong in my eyes since every movie he's ever made and that I've ever seen has shot straight to the heart for me. I believe it started with The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) which was one of my favourite films as a kid, I even remember us having it on one of those laserdiscs and apparently I used to call the movie "the pumkin" considering I didn't know the actual name. I was only little, after all. Since then (and with Edward scissorhands ofc) I've just been completely besotted! 
 
This movie wasn't any different. It had its Tim Burton charm in the animation (similar to the animation design used in Corpse Bride. Also, the main charactar in both films is called Victor!), it was in black and white so even though it actually was a quite lovely story it had its darker side to it, like a dark sort of romance. The making a sort of happy story so dark is one of the many things I love about this film and Tim Burton over all. (May I also mention that the whole Disney intro itself made me slightly impressed).
 
I know that Tim Burton has a tendency to reuse a lot of actors and co-workers, as he did in this movie. For one he once again used Danny Elfman for the movies soundtrack, which is something he shouldn't stop doing because for some reason, I don't think it would have the same effect without his music, it's simply brilliant for the works of Tim Burton. And this time Winona Ryder made another appearence, as she has before in for example Edward Scissorhands (1990) and Beetlejuice (1988). 
 
I'll admit that I did cry to this movie. I do have a soft spot for dead animals (which is not a spoiler considering the film is about dead animals rising from the dead).

Most dreamful night of my life part 2

The second dream I'm gonna tell you about was in fact the first one I dreamt (or not really I dreamt about being in different sets of my bedroom and trying to wake up in the right one before this)
 
Anyways..
I am being chased, I know this quite early in the dream. Possibly by some kind of maffia people or other criminals but I don't remember why. I also don't remember much of the chase atm other than some of the people that helped me (my classmate Emil and his girlfriend were two of them). Oh, I remember taking someone hostage, a very short guy who we turned out treating like a kid, but he escaped at a coffee shop and that's when we fled to the farm.
 
But I remember arriving with these people at a farm in pretty much the middle of nowhere, and my mum's family was there, I think it was my aunts place, and there are ponies running around everywhere (I remember because later I ride on one and it talks to me, and it knows cool tricks). 
 
Anyways, it was some kind of a party, or it seemed like it, and I was always being nervous about them finding me or shooting me through a window or something like that, I could sense that they were there, more or less. And Emil told me to relax all the time because "there was no way they could find us out here". 
 
The next thing I remember is being inside, with a few people from my family (the group of people I arrived with being outside). And outside I see a bar carried by two hospital people and a girl (that I def know) laying with her face practically burnt and cut right open and I look over to where the group of people I knew was and there was a huge fire, some people was lying down possibly hurt and the rest ran around panicked trying to figure out what to do. And I couldn't believe how I didn't notice anything before this. And I felt so guilty for putting them through this (specially the girl with the completely destroyed face) but at the same time being too scared for my own sake to let them go. 
 
That fire did seem to be more or less the end to it though, because I don't seem to have seen them again. (or wait, maybe I did right before I "woke up" in the other dream, I think so, because I felt relieved when I notice the other people and somewhat knew that they weren't there anymore). But when the horse wanted me to ride him at the end I remember still being worried but thinking that "this horse is too quick, it'll be hard for them to shoot me know". What scared me in this dream was first and foremost how real it felt, I felt all the worry and everything throughout this and once again I had that terrifying feeling of not being able to escape. The second thing that scared me was how unaware everyone seemed to be about the situation, even after the fire and the cutting Emil seemed calm like fuck and acted towards me like he didn't understand what I was fuzzing about. 
 
Ugh.. I hope I never experience these kind of dreams again, I hate it. I actually really drew a long sigh of relief when I eventually woke up from the second dream because that was just really unpleasant. (would probably make a good sci-fi novel though, I know I'd read it)
