Hey guys!!
Dec. 30th, 2013 07:33 pm
Ding ding ding... hi everyone!! Jewel, here, the Klonoa-hair kid from 2002 or whenever. I'm in charge now (again? XD) so you might be seeing some more of me around here, maybe not, depends on whether or not I feel it's needed to update here. Right now it's not, so. No worries there.
I'm playing Pokemon right now, with Jay, yeah he's still alive (but don't ask me about all that because that's HIS job not mine!), we just caught his Honedge so he's real happy about that. But I dunno, I'm going back and forth between "this is really fun, like Silver version but better" and "eh, I dunno, I'm not feeling it right now." So I'm rolling with it, mostly I'm still playing it because I love my Pokemon, that's what gets me into the games, is the feeling of friendship in my team. Yeah I try to fill up the Pokeddex but I gotta start being less obsessive about that! It just makes me frustrated and that's silly y'know. No reason to put myself through the grinder just so the Professor ("the cute Professor," Jay says) will give me some more approval. I don't need cool-guy's approval, I just need to have fun! And I am having fun. I'm running around and leveling up my-- well, not my, but Jay's Quilladin, and everyone else... really Jay is playing it more than me. And that's fine! I've got work to do.
Speaking of. DREAM WORLD. Oh yeah!! And everything else in the "League Worlds" as they're being called now. I like that, it's a collective sort of term. Jay and his etymology obsession says that "league" is from the Latin "ligare" which means "to bind," like in binding things together. That's cool! It shows that even all these different worlds and people and timelines are connected in some bigger sense. I've always felt that anyway so it's good to have it in the name now.
Jay started this big paper-card project thing, don't know why, I guess for variety in writing? Like shuffle-hats, he likes picking things at random and working with it. That sounds fun, I can get behind that too. But yeah, he's got like 700 little paper squares on my desk... yeesh!! And I've gotta write names and symbols on all of them, then we're gonna draw headshots of people on the back, fold 'em up, toss 'em in a box or something, and use 'em for creative ideas. It'll take a while, but hey, it'll force me to do more work!! That's what I like about these crazy big projects he's always starting... they force me to get work done where I overlooked it before. Like with Estelle, from LG*Girls, her pet's name was never found, or her attacks, and stuff like that... need a better word than "attacks" because really that's not what they're doing... anyway I found it now, AND the abilities she has, which is great! Buuut I might not have done it if Jay didn't force me to, haha. You get the picture.
I'm gonna try to draw again soon too. Jay didn't sell my Toshihiro Ono Pokemon comics!! WOO! I'm super happy about that, those were my FAVORITE comics way back when (feels like last year to me, Jay says it was a long time ago, I guess it's both!). Anyway we were gonna do our own Pokemon comic, with our Y Version adventures (like with the Wonder Trade Onix... now THAT was funny), but Jay got all depressed about not being able to draw and quit? But I think I could do it. IF I want to. See it's not really important, it was just a fun thing, and we don't HAVE to do it. I'd rather put that time and effort towards my series work. Like DREAM WORLD oh my gosh you guys DON'T EVEN KNOW.
Paragraph break! I am SO EXCITED about that. I feel like I can get back to writing Part Eleven or wherever we left off... because I'm back in that mindstate and that is GREAT. Jay said he had trouble tuning into it, well duh, you were tuned into something else important! So I'll do it now. Vezerai is STILL driving me absolutely nuts but I love him so I can't complain too much. ;) He's just the most frustratingly complex character when it comes to figuring out motives, and actions, and all that. Like where was he here, WHY was he there, what is he doing, et cetera. But it's super fun. Jay says it needs to be re-written a fair amount though? Like to make it bigger, story-wise. They lost all my old comics (BIG sad face D8) so that's a bummer, BUT we wrote down the details for them SO we can DRAW THEM AGAIN. Yess!! <3 And I'm REALLY excited about that, because now I can see the bigger picture of what was actually going on there (thanks Jay! He helped), and this time I can re-draw them like that too. Aah I am just SO HAPPY about all of that.
Hokthai still needs research... but the more Biblical research I do, the more it makes sense to the plot. These things biuld themselves you know!! I just write it down, and tune into the groove. Then the music just hits me, boom! Speaking of Bible stuff Oneircia needs some more research... it's full of angels of course and I want to make sure it is all true to the truth. And yes I'm keeping her original name, it was that for a reason, don't change it. (Her middle name is Isabelle, so there.)
Our mom wants us to write Mage Angels this year though? That one is really interesting because it started after I started to move out of personal timelines and all that... "Spinny" took over around then or something. (I really wasn't around for the high school thing.) But yeah, it looks cool. And just like Jay "knows" all his headspace stuff 'cause he's the Core, I "know" ALL the League World stuff because I'm THAT "core," in a sense? I mean I'm Jewel Lightraye, they gave me that name for a reason of course! I'll wear it with humility and honor. I'm really grateful.
Aaanyway here I am typing when I should be working, or reading, Jay has like... twenty windows up with spiritual articles. Yeesh. No wonder he gets tired of computers, that's a lot to read!! But I know it's important, so I'll try to at least read ten of them tonight... that's half. Haha. Then it's back to some Pokemon because I want to get to the second Gym darn it! But it's fun. Just gotta do things in moderation. Like Delphi says! *shot* He's cool though, don't be hating.
(p.s. Did you know "del" means "horror" in Sindarin? Fitting! There are a few League people with Elvish-inspired names, actually... Athoran is the most well-known of course. His name is a bit of a jumble, but ath=shadow, o=of, and ran=wander. So it was roughly "shadow of a wanderer" or something, which fits his character but I won't tell you why because that's a bit of a spoiler!! Also Jay wants me to say that in Quenya, "laurie" means "golden," and he also says that's really meaningful. So there you go.)
Like I said though, that's it for tonight. See you around!
