AT A FUCKING SEX-TOY SHOP, BABY. [link]

*THRILLED* Best. Job. EVER. Where else would Marluxia work? What other job allows, nay, ENCOURAGES you to read porn when it's going slow? Where else can you race vibrators across the checkout counter, gambling a bottle of coke and a muffin as the prize? Where else does tranny/shemale porn vs. Midget porn become the debate of the hour?

I fucking love my life. God, I love it.


And now I can start really saving up to see =SnowpirateRoy!!


;; I even got congratulatory art!


I WANT THE T-SHIRT. AND SOON I CAN AFFORD IT. O BBY.



hope no-one thinks this makes me a slut, though. I work in a sex-toy shop; this doesn't mean I'm fucking my customers, I quite literally tell them to go fuck THEMSELVES. No sex is involved, I keep all my clothes on :3 and I have a can of mace for assholes.



EDIT

Kiriban at 70,000 :3 winrar can has art, single character, traditional. Screenshot is essential plz!

COPYPASTED FROM THE BRILLIANT DOCTOR STEELE.



This won't be offensive to most of my watchers (if not all), but I watched some drama unfold over the last day or so about yaoi pairings and yaoi in general.

I know I live in a little secluded bubble of solitude when it comes to drama for the most part, and I also live in a bubble of complete solitude when it comes to yaoi. Personally, at this point, I see het art for KH and I'm shocked (and it becomes something fresh and exciting, I might add). However, the attitudes against Kingdom Hearts yaoi in general really, really piss me off. In fact, at this point, I find it to be stereotyping fans of the genre and general bigotry to be the biggest problem.

Yes, I'll use the term "fans," as it'd be ignorant to assume all yaoi fans are female. There are male fans of yaoi, and they're all awesome from whom I've met, and I imagine they dislike be secluded from something they also enjoy.

I'll also point out there's a difference between "against" and "not a fan of." I'll use the term "against" to define the individuals that are actively, for lack of a better term with the same connotation, "bitching about" yaoi. "Not a fan of" denotes general apathy--for example, I'm not a fan of Ouran High School Host Club yaoi, and I prefer the pairings with Haruhi--but I certainly don't take to the streets with torches and curses for Hitachiin twincest. People who like the heterosexual or lesbian pairings over the gay pairings in Kingdom Hearts can do so without attacking those that like yaoi. We can live in one big hippie world of love, you know?

I'd also like to point out that I'm generally referring to KH yaoi during this, but I'll occasionally use examples from other series that I've had experience with.

Most people that I have encountered that dislike yaoi usually have the following complaints about yaoi:

1. "The characters aren't gay!"
2. "That's disgusting!"
3. "Yaoi fangirls are so annoying!"
4. "They don't like each other!"

There's probably more that I'm not thinking of right off the bat, but I'll run with these for the moment.

1. "The characters aren't gay!" - The first line of defense, which most yaoi fans immediately counter with what I call the "Nomura Statement"--that he left the characters' relationships ambiguous to allow for creativity of the player and allow them to be interactive within the world of Kingdom Hearts. That means that your Sora/Kairi has as much validity as my Sora/Riku, and vice versa. Honestly, it means that anything's possible. If you try to bring up "hints" of a pairing ("Sora and Kairi with the paopu fruit drawing"), they can be countered immediately with something else ("They're just friends!"/"Sora also cried about Riku and talks about him more in KHII."). According to Nomura's own statement about the game, you could say anything you like is true. I even hesitate when I say -I- dislike a pairing for KH, and generally like to emphasize that it's just my personal opinion. In short, no, the characters aren't gay, but they're not written as straight either. Personally, I like them all to be a mix to keep it lively.

2. "That's disgusting!" - I can't really argue against someone's beliefs that homosexuality/two men having sex are wrong. But to each their own. This just falls back onto the thought of general tolerance. They can have those thoughts, they can have those opinions, but using those opinions to entice fighting from people is just stupid. It's also called the back button. If you don't like Xigbar kissing Demyx, if you don't like Olette scat, if you don't like Roxas weight gain, if you just DON'T like it, then keep your mouth shut and take the higher ground, we'll respect you much more for it. Someone else's cuddling Axel/Roxas picture isn't a personal forum on the evils gays. Hell, feel free to have it on your journal, it's your journal and that's an appropriate place to rant, I think. And, if some yaoi fan comes up to your journal, ranting and raving on your opinion, politely tell them in so many words that they need to STFU, which brings me to the next point...

3. "Yaoi fangirls are so annoying!" - Every fandom has annoying fans. Yaoi fans find certain yaoi fans annoying--I know I do. It's called human nature, you're going to like some people, and you're going to get pissed off at others. But saying that a certain group of people are "ALL" alike based on a personal experience of yours is simply stereotyping a group. I imagine most would think I was trivializing racism if I used an example of it here, so I won't. Most people against yaoi assume "all" fans are: under the age of 18, American, female, in high school, are overly zealous, "Weeaboo," are complete perverts, are stubborn to the point of ignorance, and hyper-defensive. Clearly, they have never bothered to visit y!gallery or gotten to know them. Yaoi fans are just as diverse as their non-yaoi counterparts, though, I'll admit the majority are female. The only thing I can say that yaoi fans are certainly ALL alike is on the fact they like a relationship between two males. Some don't like the sex aspect of yaoi because it makes them uncomfortable, some like only certain pairings at certain levels of closeness, some love every single flavor of the depravity rainbow like myself. As for the "weeaboo" terminology, I know that some fans desperately try to distance themselves from the term--my rant on the use of the term is for another day. Also, clearly these people have never seen bara art. :3 Not all yaoi is created equal, like I said.

4. "They don't like each other!" - This is more so a problem encountered by fans of what I call "rival" pairings--two characters that dislike each other are paired up. You know, like Marluxia/Vexen, Axel/Saix, Zechs/Heero, Orochimaru/Sasuke, Grimmjow/Ichigo, and the like. At least for Kingdom Hearts, the defense of "Nomura has no pairings!" can be somewhat used here, but for Marluxia/Vexen, where Marluxia clearly brought about the death of who he's paired with, that's when the best reasoning comes into play:

Who the FUCK cares? Seriously, if a person enjoys a pairing in their series of choice, what is so inherently wrong about it? Plus, most people have crafted their mental scenario of their favorite pairing, and made it their own. The way I love my favorite pairing isn't the way you may love the same pairing.

In conclusion, I'd also like to boil this down ultimately to "respect." Just be freaking NICE to each other. This message also goes to those participating in yaoi fan-on-yaoi fan drama.

Gods know, I can only agree and copy this in hopes of MOAR people seeing it. Spread the word. CIVILITY!

Something strange happened to me today. I was talking to ~the-fiery-hot-geeg, and linked her to a song called 'Kokoro', by Rin. It's one of my favorite songs X3

The response I got to the song was confusing ._. it took me a while to understand what she meant, but when I saw what she had done there, I was absolutely moved. I underestimate people younger than me, sometimes- this was her feedback.

"I found it anyway. It sound shiny, and tastes like stars. I sorta feels like ferns across my face, but not quite. Not as soft as silk, but not as coarse. I can't quite sit on it, you know?"

I'm not usually one for pseudo-intellectual spouting, but y'know, I haven't been able to stop thinking about this. For a thirteen year old girl, I thought it was pretty damn profound.

So I went into town a little while ago with what she'd said on my mind, and all of a sudden, the world was absolutely beautiful- it's grey skies at the moment, but it might as well have been the middle of spring. There were rainbows in my footsteps and honey in the air. My skin felt like it was filled with thunder and the breeze was like the sweetest music box. I could have wept for the sheer beauty of the world around me.

She also talked about how people taste and feel for her- when she met Keysha-chan, she tasted potato chips. I taste like raw egg and feel like cremé brulee.

I just...now that I'm thinking about it, I see it everywhere. I feel like I can taste music.


Anyone feel the same?

Stolen from :3

SIX PAIRINGS I LIKE:
1. Vexen x Marluxia (Kingdom Hearts)
2. Will x Alrumia (OCs, sort of >>; )
3. Axel x Roxas (Kingdom Hearts)
4. Irvine x Zell (FFVIII)
5. Vexen x Repliku (Kingdom hearts)
6. Kuja x Zidane (FFIX)

THREE SHIPS I'VE ABANDONED:
7. Saix x Xemnas (I just can't like it anymore.)
8. Sora x Kairi (LOL YAOI PLOX)
9. Squall x Rinoa

THREE SHIPS I'VE NEVER LIKED:
10. Marluxia x Axel
11. Marluxia x Zexion
12. Marluxia x Demyx

TWO SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST:
13. Vexen x Demyx
14. Marluxia x Xemnas

*

1. Why do you dislike #11 so much?
(Marluxia x Zexion)

Zexion has been absolutely destroyed for me by many people- I can't even imagine an in character Zexion anymore, let alone one willing to be touched by Marluxia. With zero respect for each other and a lack of communication and interest in one another-when do you ever hear Marluxia calling Zexion by name?- I just can't enjoy it and view every 'fanart' of it as an abomination. I like a bit of substance behind my pairing (anyone who has had to suffer one of my 411 rants knows this).

2. Who do you know that ships #13?
(Vexen x Demyx)

Oh gosh. Uhm. Not many people XDDDD I know Roy will dabble, if it's just right/ pedolicious, but it's not a serious interest. Nire-chan, and her followers.

3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?
(Axel x Roxas)

D< you know what pissed me the fuck off? When Axel faded and Sora was RIGHT THERE, Roxas didn't even get to say goodbye. I mean, if he'd appeared for just a second and reached out a hand, it would have been some sort of closure, y'know?
ideal scenario- a night of Xbox live and pizza on a Saturday night, probably in just boxers, having a good time as friends in love. :3

4. What is your favourite moment for #1?
(Vexen x Marluxia)

"I am number Four, youAre number Eleven! I don't have to take your sh--"
*WHIPS OUT PINK FAG SCYTHE*
"Shut your damn mouth, old man."

5. How long have you been following couple #6?
(Kuja x Zidane)

:3 I'm an FFXI oldfag- since 2000. (by the way- I pronounce it 'eff eff nine', so my use of 'an' instead of 'a' was correct. I know this doesn't bother any of you at all, but the Grammar Nazi in me just couldn't let it be.)

6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop caring?
(Sora x Kairi)

Sora is having his butt ridden by Riku, or the other way around if you prefer. Seriously, deny it all you want, it's fucking canon.

Kairi barely got a hug, man. Riku was BAWWW'd over and clung to.

7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4?
(Will x Alrumia or Irvine x Zell)

I'm gonna go Will/Al here :3;;; just because I fucking love my own characters and Roy's characters, and they're perfect for eachother.

8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent.
Choose from #10 or #12.
(Marluxia x Axel or Marluxia x Demyx)

Marluxia and Axel, hands down. I can stomach MarDem so long as, somewhere in the picture, description or RP the line "April showers bring May flowers' is used. Don't ask why, it's a strange hangup.

9. What interests you about #14?
(Marluxia x Xemnas)

I see it as a punishment pairing :3 After Marluxia fucked shit up in Oblivion and Xemnas learnt that they were plotting to overthrow him, he would rip Marluxia a new asshole. literally.

10. When did you stop liking #7?
(Saix x Xemnas)

Hmm... that's had to answer. I started really getting over Saix with all the ' puppy!Saix' crap floating around and him never being taken seriously. And I just never really liked Xemnas XD


11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the series?
(Squall x Rinoa)

XD no way. I actually got FFVIII for my birthday and have been playing it each night. I really love the game, now that I'm back into it, even if the magic system did suck. I'm not sure if it should have been marketed as an FF game, but it's still good.

12. What's a song that reminds you of #5?
(Vexen x Repliku)

Oh, oh, I actually have one, too!
it's 'Kokoro', by Rin. It's in Japanese, but if you can find a translation that's actually decent, it's fucking gorgeous. All about a man who makes a robot with no heart, dies and leaves the robot to find a heart of his own. He dies of happiness at the end :3 it's one of my favorite songs.

13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?

Marluxia x vexen and Will x Alrumia :3 both from the zombie RP with =SnowpirateRoy. Her Vexen is just fucking orgasmic.

14. Which do you dislike the most?

Marluxia x Zexion. I just hate it XD I hate Zexion and I love 411.

15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?

:'D MarVex, WillAl. I can just see the round the table flirting, crude exchanges and bad jokes, growing progressively worse as the drinking sets in. And the night would end in an orgy.

16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if yes.
(Will x Alrumia)

XD they're engaged/married/in love/fond of sex. Yes.

17. Did #4 have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely?
(Zell x Irvine)

XDDD uhm. Irvineand Zell both sobered up the next day, swore not to tell a soul and didn't speak again until the next beer and hotdog night.

18. What would make you start shipping #11?
(Marluxia x Zexion)

A full frontal lobotomy.

19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6?

XDDDD Roy and I control number two, so this is a bit of a no brainer. Will/Al isn't changing any time soon.

20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?

Marluxia gets with Vexen (against Vexen's will, of course), and Axel finds love with Roxas :3 the end.



Also! my name is going to be Marluxia Kirsten Bliss. To whoever it was who suggested Kirsten, thank you! I'll find you and hook up your sub asap- but right now, I can't even afford food, we're pretty fucked. Um >>; paypal donations are loved and appreciated, 'cause we're seriously in deep shit but I can't offer more commissions til I finish my current ones.

:'D so, for my 18th birthday, God gave me a GIANT, PUS-FILLED ABSYSS ON MY LABIA MAJORA (vagina. ._. )

And I just spent the whole day at the hospital, stoned out of my tree and eating ice cream and getting all the fluids drained out. Pretty!

:'D the nurse told me there was a LOT of pus.

And I got a wheelchair! WIN!
