Some rambling about what was going to be a Young Justice AU RP, but now it'll be something generic DC setting with a lot of YJ base ideas?

( Enjoy the ramble. )

Degrassi: Next Class thoughts

Sat, 16 Jan 2016 01:06:04 GMT

Alright, now that I've watched ALL THE DEGRASSI I am going to go over my thoughts on the season as a whole. I'll try to keep it spoiler lite. It won't be spoiler free. So everything is under cuts and y'all can get on Netflix and watch the block of episodes for yourself. Or find them on project free tv (they should all be up by now, if not they will be tomorrow). Or if you're in Canada they should all be up on F2N by 1 AM.

I'll start, as usual, with my favorite little trainwreck...

( SPOILERS AND SUCH )

Overall...

GO WATCH!

Color Identities 03 - Black

Wed, 18 Jun 2014 23:10:59 GMT

Third in the Color Identity Series. Black. I have... a fair number of muses here, but not as many as in Blue. Mostly because their secondary colors were already covered in White or Blue. Anyway!

SPN/Deg - Shipwreck Harbor

Mon, 26 May 2014 23:36:07 GMT

I blame Ray for this, but Maya as a siren has become a thing in my head. And in thinking about putting Sam and Dean through awkward with a mouthy teenager I ended up with this. Probably will write more like it later. Cause Siren Maya is fun.

Color Identities 02 - Blue

Second in the color identity series, this is Blue. Blue is pretty much the color I identify with most when I write or play cards. So it'll have a bit more to it than some of the other color identities, and has a pretty large collection of characters to it.

Writing - It's a Lonely World

Fri, 16 May 2014 01:55:53 GMT

Since I failed to write a thing yesterday, you'll get two things today. One of which I technically wrote for class, but they count because... I wanna be lazy sometimes.

So this is one of the few writing things without any specific goals attached, it's just a story that had to be between 300 and 900 words. I went for a sorta surprise, trying to set it up and execute it within the short space I had to work, hope you all like it!

( I hope you enjoy. )

Color Identities 01 - White

Sat, 10 May 2014 22:15:17 GMT

So I'm starting my 'write a thing every day' bit a little early to clear my head. This the first in a four part (two colors will share a day) series of character studies through color identities. Since I'm including character studies as a possible writing thing.

To go over the rules, every day will cover a color and every color set that starts with that color. Meaning we'll start with White, Azorious (White/Blue), Orzhov (White/Black), and Esper (White/Blue/Black) on this day. Each section under a cut will start with a blurb covering that color/sets ideals even if the color isn't there. No description for Wedge sets will show up, as wedge identities aren't defined by Wizards and I don't have any in the first place.

There is a spoiler warning for Fire Emblem: Awakening and Once Upon a Time in effect for this post. Be advised.

( White )

( Azorious )

The Gods of Theros

Sat, 07 Sep 2013 16:50:47 GMT

Since... this is too long a review for plurk, I'll just do it here!

So... we've now met all five of the Theros Gods. Here they are:

( Images! )

So of course, as Magic Nerds do, they look at five cards in a cycle and think "Which one is the best?" which normally involves a lot of mathematically improbable scenarios and blanket abuse of all the logic and reason they have access to. All the while simplistically stating which one they like best. I... don't want to do that (well, I do, but I could just do that on plurk in one line "I like Thassa!") so instead I'll try to put a bit more thought into reviewing them.

I figure I can easily split up the pros and cons into four sections. "Synergy," "Emergency," "Strategy," and "Curve."

( Emergency )

( Strategy )

( Curve )
