Needs More Coffee

Lis looks so good with the cowboy hat and the white coat X3 Also, HEARTBREAKER. I still consider it Cocona's default, combines a lot of things I like--lacey trim, skirts, tomboyness, and trenchcoat-like things!

I remember kinda passing over Ballistic Coat when it first came out, and then the more I looked at Echo in the lobby the more I thought it was really hot XD Bought a purple one for like 200k when it was long out of circulation, to my surprise. Oil Brink was a day-one buy after seeing it on Xie :O

Peeps in the best outfit thread just don't know our mad fashion sense. Oil Brinks and Balls Coats for days.

April fools.

lol how could you hate Mako? She's the overly cheerful comedy relief character! She countered the seriousness of everyone else really well. Hard to believe what I was imagining the story would be about in the first episode, that just shows they did an amazing job creating a LEGENDARY tale.

I was surprised they could keep the elite 4 so relevant to the battle scenes when Satsuki and Matoi were so insanely powerful. A lot of shows(namely DBZ) struggle. Anyway, all the characters had really great charm and personalities as well. They're all badasses in their own ways. Then I loved the little animation details like Gamagori's special head smash move on the transmitter had the outline of an angrier face every time he hit it. Although Jakazure was so cool, I wish they had her do more. Plus the two nudist beach dudes became a bit of an afterthought later on.

Actually I was hooked right at the first few episodes but I think around episodes 16-19 are the lower point of the series where they slowed down to discuss Nudist Beach, and the pace didn't feel *right*. A few of my friends started to lose interest on the series around that point.

Over here I jumped back into playin' Diablo 3 since the latest patch and expansion. I'd have to say it has improved many, many times over since the last time I played. Haha, you too? Our cold weather has been pretty ridiculous as well. Over here it was dipping below 0 F for a few days but it's been as high as 32 F on some days! Not to mention the stupid amount of snow with blizzards we've been getting! XD

Anyway, I hope you have a great weekend! ttyl~

Haha, I'd totally agree that a follow-up slice of life comedy is definitely in order now! Mako has always been a craaaaaaazy hilarious character. There's an OVA coming up next year but it'll just cover their graduation ceremony.

But wow, that episode! Too much awesome junk happening on top of each other! I was actually surprised by how much time the animation team spent on each costume, since there's pretty much four for every character. Ryuuko's ultima battle in space was intense, and I'd say a fitting end to an epic series. Oh and also, Gamagori's indestructible! :P

Anyway, besides that, whatcha been up to lately over there? Pick up any new games or plannin' any mischief?

The space dress-up part is admittedly fun, but I haven't even cared for the outfits in the last few updates. They're going the PSU route and they're getting really lazy with costume design lately, just taking outfits from other popular fandoms like Attack on Titan. Soooo lame.

Regarding art school, one thing I might look into if I were you is a few scholarships first off, and then see if there's any work available on campus that might help pay off tuition. That would leave you with a certain amount of grant money each semester to have for yourself, especially if you can knock out some percentage of tuition through on-campus work. You really have to look at two situations: do you pursue a degree that makes more money and let art be a side hobby, or do you focus on the art degree and be okay with doing odd jobs until that starts to profit? You DO have a large skillset for your age, so that could really help with the latter choice.

YESSSS, DO STORY. Would love to see what you could come up with for Lisette and co.

Ohhhh my god that is quite the goodie bag o_o I'm pretty sure I would die.

Woah, woah, woah! Have you watched the finale of Kill la kill yet?! :O

P.S. lol, you've been online all day! xD

I'm fine. I'm waiting for winter to die.

Hey there. o: how was your day?

Almost remind me of a friend on PSO2. You're an owl!

Jeez I thought I was bad.

I need to stop staying up late. Dx

Anyways, hello sorry for the embarrassing moment last night.

(why do I suck at getting back to people, Lis? WHY DO I SUCK?)

You know, I think that's why I can't tear myself away from PSO2 Gen, it's like I almost maliciously enjoy watching the trainwreck that is PSO2 get worse and worse XD

Dark Souls is some serious trial-by-fire, but it's so much fun. I love how rewarding it is to learn enemy attack patterns and area layouts and such, and it's funny repeating areas and being like "why did I die so much last time?" XD Exploration is a lot of fun too, seeing how the entire world interconnects. The broken toe was very much ow, probably more ow than Dark Souls, but it's like 90-95% pain-free now. CAN YOU DO NINJA FLIPS WHILE SKIPPING ROPE? :O

Remember, deciding on a college in no way ties you down to anything. You're in a profession where I'd imagine your professional portfolio means a lot more than where you got your degree from, should you pursue art. And at worst, you can always transfer if need be. It's your life and you've only gotta make yourself happy, so in the end, be sure whatever you decide is what was best for you. I've been the same with writing as you have with drawing, I was supposed to give myself a break after I finished my story and that hasn't happened at all XD

EDIT: Crap, was meant to message coco and not you. So tired atm. sorry

The hat and glasses totally work. Lis is just fly like that. So how long until you're bored of the game again? XD

Coco is doin alright. Other than work, I've been posting a lot of post-story content and coming up with lots of ideas for my sequel, and getting in some gaming when I have the chance. I cleared Tales of Xillia, and recently I've been playing Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate (HITOMI FOREVER) and DARK SOOOOOULS, which is so much fun Absolutely loving the challenge it brings. Also my toe has finally healed, and I tried to run Thursday and realized my body sorta forgot how to run ;_; Definitely set me back a lot, ugh.

How's you doin?

Lis' new duds looks awesome XD

Breaking kneecaps doesn't sound fun >_< I miss exercising! I didn't realize how much of my usual cardio exercises use my toes, ugh. This toe better fix itself soon because this is driving me nuts Yay PS1, and I'm jealous of your weather. We had a really nasty ice/snowstorm roll through this past weekend, but we're finally back into the 50s now so hopefully this sticks around.

We seem to have magical awesome photon clothes that never get torn or dirty or anything XD I actually wrestled with giving Lisette her white Ballistic Coat you wore all the time, but given her position I figured your Captain uniform was more fitting. I think Cocona went through three or four Heartbreakers before the story ended with all the damage they took, haha.

It's doing okay. It still hurts to put any kind of pressure on the tip of my broken toe, but I'm walking on it better than before and the horrible black bruising on my toe is gone now. I've also found that my black boots with a big toebox seem to be helping quite a bit too. Still really annoying that I haven't been able to run since last Tuesday, but, gotta let this thing heal.

How's things with you? Great job on your mini figure by the way.
