LOL! Deidara do NOT yell at the kids. Same with Sasori. Then again they could get into a debate with each other. I hope not. XD Nice work!

We talked about autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) in abnormal psychology class today and the professor said the best way to treat some of the kids with ASD is to communicate with them via puppets, and all the time I couldn't stop thinking about your picture XD (not saying Kankuro has ASD)

Haha, having me as anyone's psychologist is a bad idea. I'm practically a real life Tobi when not engaged in criminology XD

Exactly! And plus, with so much fanservice, they should make more stuff off Akatsuki if they insist on exploiting everything they can off the characters
I heard Kishimoto wanted Hidan and Deidara to have more story, but some editor went all "I want to see more of Sasuke --> Deidara blows himself up >.>

Whaaaaat?! Damn editors... >.>
They should have a spin off series. Like the episodes in Rock Lee SD series (Which is hilarious and I love more than life itself) but an actual series of their 'antics'. It would be SO popular!! I've heard there's going to be a spin off of team Taka though :/

I know, I call it "respect the creator!"
I think so too! I've rewatched all the Akatsuki-related Rock Lee SD episodes so many times that I can practically memorize the lines now. XD I wish they would show more scenes to the creation of Akatsuki than the current game clips, and show more scenes of members interacting. I mean, with them all being rogue ninjas on their own before, there's gotta be some adjustment for them when they have to work for the same organization now, and when they have to work in teams. I want to see Sasori's interaction with Orochimaru as well when they were partners (even though Orochimaru creeps me out >.>)
Taka... Someone told me before that Sasuke is one of Kishimoto's favourite characters if not THE favourite character, but still... I wanna see more of the others in Akatsuki, and I never quite saw Taka as Akatsuki, even their uniform are slightly different and almost remind me of Harry Potter XD I thought Kishimoto would favour Sasori since Sasori shares the same birthday as him, but no, Sasori dies first both times. DX

Haha, same here! I remember watching those episodes, and trying to hold in the laughter so bad that I almost cried as well (I was watching it when my parents thought I was "studying" XD)
*bear hug* Yay! Don't worry about it! I don't like Sasuke myself, I think he's an Itachi wannabe at times, thinking himself as all cool, and just ended up downright cocky. I remember there was an art done by someone that has Deidara counting all the points on how it was impossible for Sasuke to survive in his fight with Deidara (sorry, I couldn't find it). I felt that plot armor was especially strong in Shippuden, Sasuke said himself that he was low on chakra, yet he manages to summon Manda at the last second.
Some say Kishimoto accidentally made Sasori too strong because of this, but Sasori was pretty much used as a sacrifice to show that Sakura wasn't entirely useless in battles (even though many, including myself, believe Sasori let himself be killed and that Chiyo was speaking the truth instead of lying to herself on that point), and later Sasori died again to show that Kankuro was pretty good at leading a team... and can talk no jutsu- I mean, to show that Kankuro has matured. It kind of piss me off to see Kankuro controlling the Sasori puppet even though Sasori wanted that. For some reason, Sasori look even more frail and small as a puppet controlled by others than when he was inhabiting in that puppet

I know! Sometimes I wonder if it was a mistake that Kishimoto made members of the Akatsuki too strong, but then again, I'm glad he did, because they are so badass XD (Also, I marvel at how creative he has been with different abilities) Still, poor Deidara... T_T If Kishimoto was allowed to do his original plot, the fight between Deidara and Sasuke would probably seem a lot less like a scam, but no, the editors had to interfere and tell the creator to get rid of Deidara and focus on Sasuke. I'm not saying Sasuke should die, because I agree with you, bad things would happen to Naruto at this point without Sasuke (even with the seemingly limitless growth of Naruto as the main character), also, team 7 looks amazing with their giant summons together.
I like that fight too, there was just so much suspense, every time Sasori pulls out an attack that make the audience go all "nooo, they are dead", Sakura somehow manages to solve the problem. I say that even though I'm not too big of a fan of Sakura (sorry!), but I didn't mean to imply that Sakura is useless, it was the opinions of many fans. Personally though, I do find her more useful at healing rather than in direct combat. In the first fight, Sasori kept having flashbacks of his parents right before he was stabbed in his core, it's be speculated by fans that he may want to become just like his parents, who are puppets, and he said himself that his goal has been to become a puppet. Maybe because he lost his parents so young, that he's seeking to make his family eternal in the form of puppetry, there's no way to know. We also don't know the psychological effect of turning one into a partial puppet, Sasori said himself that he couldn't feel emotions, so he probably has a thought process that is completely different from our own. Maybe he decided that instead of becoming a complete puppet and keep existing through eternity as a hollow being that can no longer feel anything (while engaging in continuous conflicts as a member of Akatsuki), maybe he just wanted to die with his parents puppet in peace. But with Kankuro... man, it must have been odd for edo Sasori to see someone operating his puppet. If I was in Sasori's shoes, I'd destroy the puppet "me" or destroy myself, anything so I don't have to look at "me" being used by another to fight me, and since Sasori sees his own puppet as a master piece... but that is just my crack imagination XD
Exactly! I do wonder how he manages to hide the puppet lines on his face when he was living though. Also, back to the previous point, I shudder to imagine a puppet that looks like me. I mean, imagine your own head flying toward you and spitting poison needles at you... that just made me feel extremely violated. Even though Saosir added several mechanisms to himself as a living puppet, he never once made himself spit out poison needles. I wouldn't even mind if poison needles were shooting out of his arms (which I know never happened), but something about needles shooting from the mouth just bothers me.

Probably should have done this earlier but to anyone who may see these comments SPOILERS ALERT!!
Okay, so yeah I see your point about them being too strong, I think the main problem with a character being too strong is Madara... Or Obito I guess. I was soooo gutted when Neji died because of them (I'm not up to date with the anime but I don't mind spoilers and I know quite a lot of what happens at the end anyway)!
I think Sasuke redeemed himself a bit when he came back to helping team 7 and the rest, but then he comes out with that crap about wanting to be hokage... Erm, not a chance in hell, mate.
And see, this is why I wish he was a bigger character!! He's actually really interesting and I wish Kishimoto had explanded on his 'psyche'. I actually watched the Kankuro vs Edo Sasori not too long ago, and he basically just acts like he doesnt care about it because he sees it as a 'failed' experiment, but then I think he was convinced a little too easily that his legacy was hiw 'eternal art' in the end, it's like he'd already just given up on life completely. :/
And Im not going to lie, that would freak the hell out of me. Like some weird twisted version of a mirror image horror movie or something. Puppets in real life kind of scare me anyway, so one that was the exact copy of me would just be plain creepy!! Espeically with poison needles... That would NOT be fun. Puppets and needles, two fears in one D:

Opps, I apologize to anyone who read these comments before watching the anime/reading the manga for spoiler as well! >.<
Madara has so many abilities I don't even... and even though you said you don't mind spoilers, I still have to apologize for the upcoming spoiler. After Madara, Kaguya's abilities just completely messed up my head, I'm not up to date with the manga and this part hasn't been made into anime yet (I just spoiled it for myself via Narutopedia), but I skimmed over a summary of the fight and ended up with a single thought: just tell me who won and what was the finishing blow. I admit, I haven't paid much attention to Neiji (aside from how to defeat him in games during survival mode), but when he died, I... ok, I know he died, but I couldn't bring myself to watch the anime clip of it yet >.> Jiraiya's death really got me, and I kept going all "Pein (Pain) you idiot!" even though I like Pein.
It's interesting that the 1st Hokage commented that Sasuke could turn out just like Madara had he gone down the other path (also, Sasuke look a lot like Madara in adult form), I've been hoping that he'd return to original team 7 ever since he left, I have a feeling I'd hate him a lot more if he didn't. Yeah, about Sasuke wanting to become Hokage, that moment I thought he lost his mind. I practically linked Naruto to Hokage in my head, and since Sasuke has such opposite personality to Naruto and didn't care about Konoha for most of the series, hearing him declare that was just ridiculous
I agree with what you said about Sasori! I remember someone commenting that Sasori's parents should have killed Kakashi's Dad instead of the other around, then another person's comment really got me thinking, he/she said that if that was the case, Kakashi would turn out like Sasori. Also, just from the little bit that we know about Sasori, I really want to see his Chunin exam at age 8 (come to think of it, the Ninja World put tiny children through a terrible amount of danger, and Itachi thinks like a 20-30 years old at age 5, this makes me feel so incompetent XD) especially since I have the impression that Sunakagure is not very stable (with many assassination attempts on Kazekage by people from within the village). Also, Sasori gained himself lots of fame during the Third Shinobi war, I wish they could do something to show the Third Shinobi War with younger versions of many shinobi. Furthermore, I want to see more of Sasori's character development: he was quiet but still interacted with others as a child, then he became even more silent as he grew older, his friend Komushi's death may have pushed him further toward the idea of preserving people so they become "eternal". If we take game universe into account, there was a period of time when he had been a lot more talkative and kind of arrogant when he first joined Akatsuki (also, I want to know what made him show a considerable amount of loyalty to the organization). I want to see how Deidara may have changed his character, because I'd like to see Deidara and Sasori as friends that tease each other a lot, and that interaction was different from his interaction with Komushi (even though both Deidara and Komushi probably bug Sasori a lot more than he liked). Moreover, I want to see his interaction with the Third Kazekage, how he managed to kill the man. I mean, as an orphan, there's a chance he could have interacted with the Third Kazekage when he was still in the village like Naruto did with the third Hokage. Sorry about the rant, I just like to talk about character development a lot, and Sasori's my favourite... heck, we didn't even get to see what his last scroll does before he died >.>
I'm kind of scared of puppets as well, actually, moving dolls terrify me. I have a friend that loves the sound of puppets in Naruto, I thought it was just creepy, especially the sound of Sasori putting himself together when Sakura punched him apart >.> And yes, I have a mild phobia of needles as well, one shot can cause me to act erratic for the rest of the day >.>

Yeah like, I'm gutted the Akatsuki killed Jiraiya and Asuma (I cried so much when it turned out Kurenai was pregnant Dx) but I still love them anyway It's weird how people still adore the evil characters even though they kill other amazing ones... Weird. And I've actually heard a few things about the actual ending but it confuses the hell out of me so I'm just gonna have to keep watching the anime to understand it haha... I know stuff that happens after the fight though, like the next generation and Hokage etc...
And well, I'm not sure if Kakashi would have turned out like Sasori, because he did lose his dad eventually but Obito helped him through it, even if he didn't like him haha. I loved the little scenes of Sasori when he was a teen in the village with his only 'friend' if you can call him that, but then he didn't really have the same impression on Sasori as Obito did Kakashi :/
Suna itself is a whole other ball game. I'd LOVE for the anime to go into it's history in more depth, I get the impression it was kind of like what views in real life used to be like, for example, sexist and worked children from an early age etc, and I think that shaped a lot of the characters personalities (Like Gaara and family - Temari is very independant and harsh, as though she had to become that way to survive in such a community)
And haha, the bit where his head spins around was actually really scary, even for an anime xD

Avalon-Kore In reply to VampireBasket [2015-12-02 02:56:15 +0000 UTC]
I agree! But at least at same time, I feel the deaths of these two awesome characters made anime more interesting, it shows that good guys can die and they can't just plot hack by either having the main character butt in or developing mysterious powers of themselves. I feel very sorry for Kurenai, but I'm also glad that she is a strong, independent woman. In a way, I was super glad that Shikamaru didn't go berserk and kill both Akatsuki members there and that for once, bad guys can do bad things and get away with it. XD I think I've always rooted for evil characters for the most part, and my favouritism toward them is strong enough that when they kill good characters, I might feel bad, but then I think "oh well, as long as the evil characters are still alive...". I have to admit, I was really conflicted about Deidara vs Gaara though. I hated Deidara at first because I liked Gaara a lot, then I saw more of Deidara and started liking him; and Gaara in games, especially in survival mode, is one annoying opponent to fight against.
Haha, good plan, I'm confused about the final fight myself, so I'm just waiting it out as well. People say they hate fillers, but I don't mind it, since Tsunade's dream is quite interesting (because *spoiler* some of my favourite characters are back!) I saw the part about next generation as well, I even read in one movie or episode (I can't remember), that Boruto manage to save Naruto and a bunch of other now-adult ninja's that have been captured, and I was thinking to myself : gee, they used to be so useful as kids, maybe in ninja world, becoming adult just means you have to wait for your kids to save you more often than not >.>
Now that you mention it, I agree, but something about a white hair villain with Kakashi's hair style just feel awesome XD I'd like to see Komushi as Sasori's friend, or at least Sasori tolerated him. Most people probably wouldn't want to be close to Sasori since he was so silent and would say things like "I don't like to wait", many probably just see him as a grumpy brat. I wonder if Komushi stayed around for longer, maybe Sasori's life would have turned out differently. I mean, I know Sasori's already thinking about making human puppets by that point, but he did look upset when Komushi died. Also, unlike Orbito, Komushi still had his parents, and he once complained to Sasori, saying he wished his parents would stop treating him like a baby (when Sasori wished he could be loved like that). I was thinking this could also be a reason that they haven't bond as much. In Naruto verse, it seems characters with things in common bond strongly, like Naruto with Gaara as jinjuriki.
Even though I'm interested in how all the villages operate (especially with Kirigakure, I always wondered why some of their ninjas, not just Kisame, has shark like features), I'm most interested in Suna, since two of my favourite characters are from there (Gaara and Sasori), also, I agree with Deidara since I like the design of the village and housing as well. I really like your analysis of the village view. Since I volunteered in historical reenactment, I know exactly what you mean by views from back then.
The head spinning part got me too, whether in anime episode or in Rock Lee SD, the most scary scene in the movie The Exorcist for me is the spinning head part so I suppose I was more sensitive to the idea of head spinning than many others >.>

VampireBasket In reply to Avalon-Kore [2015-12-02 13:09:56 +0000 UTC]
I know what you mean about Deidara and Gaara though, they're my two faves and I'd loved Gaara ever since the chunin exams, but even when Deidara came into it I liked him right away, so I was in the same dilema!! I guess it was a win win in the end though since Gaara came back to life If you think about it though, Deidara is so awesome. I mean, he fights off Team Guy with a kunai in his mouth!!! xD
I love the fillers!! Like the one where Deidara and Sasori have a cameo with Hidan and Kakuzu discussing about who'll take the war mission and who'll take the profit one! It gives them little extra scenes which is always good :3
Ahahahaa, I dont think I like the sound of Boruto tbh. I hate the fact that he prefers Sasuke to Naruto, and its annoying that he's gonna try to 'outdo' Naruto when really since we've lived Naruto's whole life with him we just want him to be the best at everything... It feels weird handing that power over to Boruto, even if he is his son. Also, momentary fangirl moment, IM SO HAPPY that Naruto and Hinata got together <3 Moment over
Hmm that's true, I actually looked this scene up last night and Chiyo doesn't help by just giving him everything he asks for and treating him like a God... It's like she was never really there for him in person so she was making up for it by letting him run wild with poisons and puppets etc...
I think Komushi was really one of the last things keeping Sasori in the Sand village, because really, he's lonely, and whether he liked him or not, he did tolerate him and never seemed to hate the company, because he's been alone all his life and so the fact that Komushi kept coming back was probably comforting in some way for him.
Yeah my favourite characters all time are Deidara and Gaara, but the rest of the Akatsuki fit into the rest of my top 10, not including Orochimaru because he just creeps me out. But I think because Suna's such a big part of the anime in general with the alliance with Konaha etc it would be good to get some background...
They should do a Suna spin off!
Ahh I haven't watched the Exorcist because I avoid horror movies like the plague. You are talking to literally THE biggest wimp on the planet. Honestly, you name it, I'm probably scared of it.

Avalon-Kore In reply to VampireBasket [2015-12-02 23:58:06 +0000 UTC]
I started liking Gaara as well in that episode! I watched that episode (Chunin exam) during one of the anime club meetings, at the time, I haven't started watching Naruto, so I didn't even know if Gaara was the good or bad guy XD Also, that episode was what convinced me to watch Naruto, because at first I was very against the idea of watching Naruto since Sasuke's rabid fangirls spilled over to Inuyasha fandom and started insulting everyone. As for Deidara vs Gaara episode, I'm pretty sure I first skimmed the episode on a school computer (because at the time, my Mum won't let me use computers >.>), I had to do it sneakily since my junior high didn't allow people to do things that's not school related, I also used an incredibly laggy website, so all I got was a few glimpse of Deidara, and since I couldn't hear him (I had no earphones at the time), I spent the whole time trying to figure out his gender and looking to the door nervously for teachers that may be coming XD But yes, I'm so glad Gaara was brought back (even though part of me still wished that Chiyo would have used her justsu for Sasori >.>) I agree with you about Deidara! He's awesome, there's just no other word that fit him better (and then he tries to strangle Tobi with his legs XD)
I just went to watch that episode! Love it! I knew Sasori destroyed a whole country, but I didn't see the discussion between them that occured before. I wish Saosori was out of Hiruko more often, but it's nice to see the Akatsuki members interacting. When I first read your comment, I was thinking to myself: wouldn't Hidan object to getting the profit mission? And he did, and his reaction was funnier than I thought XD
I don't like the sound of Boruto either, whether how the name itself sounds or for the same reason as you said. I mean, Naruto has been going on for so many years, and I remember watching it since such a young age, it feels exactly like we grew up with Naruto. I agree with Boruto's preference to Sasuke over Naruto being frustrating, I also don't like the character design all that much either, maybe it's his hair, but I found him kind of girly looking >.> (For Deidara, I just always thought he was cute, in the beginning I was confused about his gender, but I stopped seeing him as appearing feminine when I watched more episodes of him) And yes! I'm so happy Naruto ended up with Hinata, I just don't think him and Sakura suit each other all that well even though Sakura is kind of like Kushina, but then again, I feel that Naruto doesn't quite have the same temperament as Minato.
I think at one point, Chiyo herself said that she was avoiding Sasori because she hasn't came to term with her own emotions that she just lost her son and daughter in law, and later, it could be because Chiyo was also avoiding Saosori out of guilt. She may have blamed herself as a village elder for sending Sasori's parents to potential deaths (even though she's supposed to be fair to all shinobi in the village). Also, if I was in Chiyo's shoes, I wouldn't know how to deal with Sasori either. There was one scene where a child Sasori watched two parents helping their child who has fallen over and was crying, he only asked Chiyo to get him candies. I feel if he had thrown a tantrum, or expressed more emotions, maybe Chiyo and his relationship would be different.
I agree with you on the part about Komushi and Sasori, it's easy for people to develop dependence upon each other. Even if Sasori found him loud and annoying at first, I can see Sasori becoming tolerant to him and later even missing him when Komushi's not coming to bug him anymore. And Komushi, despite the fact that he acts less mature than Sasori, is a great friend, begging Chiyo not to blame Sasori when he was dying
Again, I agree with you on the part about Orochimaru, I've always been borderline on hating him. He just reminds me of something sticky, slimy, coming out of a tank... *shudder* I think the only time when I did like his presence was when he went to help Tsunade and during that time, he was arguing with the rest of Taka, I thought that was funny. I also didn't mind orochimaru when he was younger. I guess I just find most of experiments he does very vile and disgusting >.>
Exactly! I want to see a Suna spin-ff myself! Although I like the design of other villages as well, but Suna has always been one of my fav, I like the sound of the village name better than Konoha
Haha good idea, I'm a wimp myself and I wish I'd admit that to myself earlier instead of forcing myself to watch so many horror movies in an attempt to toughen myself up. The Fly still haunts me to this day >.>

Wow, I feel like you need a congratulations on your dedication to the cause award for your efforts to watch that episode xD Hahaa, our school blocked pretty much 99& of google only leaving the most dullest, boring (but admittedly relevant to schoolwork) websites accessible..
And YES. I mean come on, he strangles freakin' Obito Uchiha with no arms xD I love him he's just brill
I looooove the rare moments of Akatsuki interaction. They mostly talk altogether in pre-shippuden, where they're all just shadows though, but yeah, my top 5 Akatsuki in order are:
Deidara
Sasori
Hidan
Itachi
Konan - I love her so much, I have no words to describe her amazingness. It's probably a girl thing, since she's the 'lone female', but she just rocks in every way. <3
I dont like the name 'Boruto' either. I know it means Bolt and all that but it bugs me how its basically just Naruto with a 'Bo'...
Yeah I was team NaruHina all the way, but I like to make youtube vids of NaruSaku for some reason. Weird.
I'm also kinda pissed off that Sakura went back to Sasuke after all that, like, would you ever?! After everything he's done, there's no way I'd trust him or believe he could love her now. If he didnt back then, why does he claim to love her now?!
Chiyo definitely has a guilt thing going on, because she just cant say no, and whenever she thinks about saying no or looks at Sasori properlyy she gets flashbacks of his little sad face and urgh, she just cant do it. It sucks.... Ebiso should have been more involved in his past too if you ask me.
I'm glad you agree about Orochimaru. It's like, when people say there's no villain you actually really hate, like disney villains, you still love them all just a bit no matter what they do (the exception being Jeoffrey from Game of Thrones... Only true and pure hatred for him!) So I guess in a way I kind of would be, not sad, just like, aware (?) if he was gone for good. But then I was so relieved when he FINALLY died. *Spoiler* Then frickin Sasuke comes in with his big stupid face and revives him... Though I really dont mind him being alive if he's being good like he was when the Kage were 'revived'. I was so happy watching those episodes, especially when Naruto met his dad again, I just wanted Minato to see how awesome and strong Naruto was and how he was saving everyone!! IT was the best.

I'd do anything for my curiosity. Plus, my final exams are coming, so I'm procrastinating >.> My school blocked most of the websites as well, and while I maybe severely technologically challenged, my friend isn't. He downloaded some program onto his USB key and onto mine, it opens to a google page that let's you go anywhere XD
Haha, I agree! If only Deidara know who Tobi really was at the time XD
Oh yes! I once specifically went to rewatch that episode just for that scene as well, and I was trying to identify all the shadows based on the voice. I have to say, Deidara was one of the easiest ones to identify because I heard him say "un" I can't figure out who's my top favourite, since their rankings change too often, but I like all of them a lot!
I love Konan as well! She's one of my favourite female characters. I really admire her. I'm actually cosplaying her this summer. I've never cosplayed anyone before. But since I decided to cosplay, I'm going to do my best to do the character justice. I already got the cloak, shoes, wig and fake piercing. I also got a bunch of makeup even though I have relatively little experience in makeup, but I've participated in many events that require special make up effects (I volunteer with historical reenactment organization that's affiliated with the city, they have pretty high standards when it comes to dressing up and acting ) I also have physical training plans with my buddies in the military just in case I let myself go during final exams (which I always do XD)
Haha, my first reaction at the sound of Boruto had been "bull". And I agree, I might have felt better about Boruto if the name itself is more different from Naruto, now it just feels like a parody of the original Naruto >.>
I was surprised that Sakura went back to Sasuke myself. And today, I saw the craziest confession ever on my university website (it's where you say weird things anonymously.) "To my ex who just broke up with me, and reads this page, yes its true, i cheated on you. In fact it happened just 2 weeks after we began dating and having sex. I would get so much sex that I would be alternating sex days and cuddle days with you and her. On days that you didnt want to have sex, I sexed her. She was so much better than you, I'll be honest. Even if you figure out that this message was meant for you, I want you know that I lied to you for the longest time to protect your heart, because deep down I truly did love you. And so when you dumped me so brutally, it broke my heart. You can consider us even." I don't know why, but somehow when I read your reply and thought about Sasuke and Sakura, this is what came into my mind >.>
You know whenever I thought about Chiyo, I always remembered her voice as being especially grandma-like and gentle. She really loved Sasori, it's a shame they had to fight >.> I'm trying to imagine what would be the case if Deidara didn't fly off that time, if Sasori and Deidara fought together, or if they switched place in who they fought.
I haven't watched Game of Thrones because they are so many episodes, but it's definitely on my to watch list! (I know, somehow, I'm watching Naruto despite the number of episodes, procrastination make me do weird things >.>) I like those episodes too! I didn't mind Orochimaru as much when the kages were revived, but then I wondered if there's ever a bad guy in Naruto since every villain seems to have a sob story. Some part of me wish for there to be a bad guy who's bad just for the heck of it, even though if that villain is created, I'd probably hate them >.> Haha, I always like parts where Naruto get to see his parents, I really loved the movie Road to Ninja *spoiler* where Naruto got to spend time with his parents in Tobi's Limited Tsukuyomi. I also like that movie for its epicness, first featuring Zetsu clones pretending to be Akatsuki fighting as a group, and then the Akatsuki from the alternate world fighting as a group. There's something crazy epic about a bunch of insanely strong ninja fighting together (I fangirled when Sasori pulled Naruto out of harm's way XD I was thinking to myself: See, Chiyo, you aren't the only ones that can save life with chakra strings (she helped Sakura). Then I started imagining Deidara's reaction if Sasori ever dragged him around with his chakra string XD)

Ahh thats good then, although I assume you have pretty good access to a computer now given the circumstances of this conversation
That's so cool! Be sure to post pics when you cosplay her I've cosplayed a few times, one as Sakura, and at one point my boyfriend at the time cosplayed Itachi. It was awesome.
Yeah I know, thats exactly what I thought about Boruto, 'What a cop out to finish making NAruto without actually finishing it'... So what, now it all just starts again? I wouldnt complain because I love the nime, but all the Akatsuki are gone which sucks, and I dont like it when kids take over new seasons. As much as Im happy for the original characters moving on and living their lives, it bugs me that they arent shown as nearly as amazing as they are anymore, and become sidelined to the next generation. Which is NOT how Naruto should be :/
Ouch! That's brutal! What a harsh message... I'll bet she did figure out who it was. I hope he did, what a jerk! That does remind me of Sasuke. He has Karin on the side. OH thats a whole other rant, I really want them to go into how she's an Uzumaki, and therefore related to Kushina!! And Nagato was too! The hell is that all about?! You can't just casually drop that into conversation and then move on!
I actually think it's brilliant the detail and twisted plotlines that all intertwine where backstories are concern, Kishimoto really is a enius, it must have taken SO LONG to arrange the plot, and have such complicated characters in such a large quantity! I really admire him for that. I like that about anime though, the way the characters all have compelling stories, more so than normal tv shows, that really get you to connect and feel for them as though theyre real. I'm studying Animation at uni and character design is a personal favourite of mine.
Yeah exactly!! That movie was SO awesome. I havent watched the last movie yet, Im trying to finish the anime first haha, but I've seen AMVs on youtube and clips of it :') I think Hinata is kidnapped? Either way I look forward to watching it And yeah I know, I wish that alternate universe was real >< I might go and watch it again actually... Lmao!

Haha, thankfully, yup. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that I was stopped from using computers all those years ago. When I first started surfing the net more frequently at about age 15, I was shocked by a lot of the dark side of the internet, but I'm glad most of the people around are friendly
I will try to! I'm really concerned about the quality of the wig and cloak currently, since every vendor online seem to use the same picture as their advertisement, and I've never cosplayed (I did historical reenactment, which the costumes can easily cost over $1000 with all the parts) or wore a wig before (with historical reenactment, the wig was there to volumize the hair, so we hide it with our own hair, it would not have mattered if it was a wig or a sponge unless it peeks out), but I will definitely try my best! Oh wow, Sakura! I read on a forum by other cosplayers that she's one of the hardest characters to cosplay, so I admire you! And Itachi is incredibly hard to cosplay as well, I've only seen a handful of people cosplaying him because it's hard to draw the lines on his face (some people call it stress lines?)
I know! I'm kind of excited and apprehensive about this new series. I mean, Naruto was so epic that I don't want to see it end, but currently I'm just crossing my fingers that Boruto won't turn out to be a horrible sequel (I find many sequels fall short of my expectation compared to the original work), I am very interested about Mitsuki, especially about the fact that Orochimaru has a son I wish the Akatsuki was back as well, and I can't say I like Shin Uchiha's attempt to rebuild the Akatsuki (I only read about it on Narutopedia, but I already dislike it. I hated Danzo's arm because of all the eyeballs, and seeing the source of that arm is just.. >.>), he seems like a copy-cat, obsessive character to me. And as you said earlier, I don't like kids taking over as well, it almost gave me a sense of betrayal since I was to see Naruto's generation being best at everything and I want to see more of them as well
Yup, she figured it out, and she posted a scathing message back, that's when the other students' responses became more diverse. With the guy's original message about how he cheated on her, everyone was disgusted; but with her response, some guys began to say she should just move on gracefully while most girls cheered for her. Even though I'm not a big fan of Karin, I was so angry about what he did during his fight with Danzo. I was thinking to myself, does this guys even have humanity anymore? Does he even have any loyalty left in him? That whole time when Sasuke had been trying to destroy Konoha because of how much Itachi suffered, I really hated Sasuke because Itachi would not want to see that. Given the difference in personality between Itachi and Sasuke, I can't imagine what would happen if the two characters switched place (imagine is Sasuke had been forced to join Akatsuki first to spy for Konoha in order to protect Itachi... >.>)
I want to know more about the Uzumaki as well! And also, I want for the Uzumaki clans people to have more interaction. I mean, the Uchiha's got plenty of time to acknowledge each other and interact whether they are on the same side in a war or not.
Haha, I think at first I had been hesitant to get into Naruto again because there were so many characters (which is not a bad thing, but it can be troublesome for someone who's procrastinating like me who also happens to be overly curious. I know I will be spending lots of times just remembering the characters and what they did and forget all my school stuff XD) I find it amazing myself that Kishimoto managed to create so many characters and for them to all have such different personalities and experiences, it's crazy to think that on top of all of that, he also has to show character growth in each without making all the characters look like they all become the same once they mature. I was thinking the same thing, it's crazy how he managed to create a world so different from our own, and yet so similar and realistic. It's so cool that you are studying Animation! I wanted to study creative writing before, but I really don't like the guidelines and to be given a grade on creative writing. I mean, I appreciative the suggestions and advices, but in the education system, from the few classes I had in senior high, it felt we were locked in a certain theme and expectation to what we SHOULD write and SHOULD NOT write, but I just want to let my imagination go free. Also, I don't always want to write stuff, I like having the liberty to take breaks from writing since I don't have assignments that force me to. Furthermore, I find professors can be biased as well. I have teachers and professors who really like my writing and a few teachers who hated my writing. (Thankfully, all my university professors liked my essay style, and I only took 2 English classes to fill requirement for science degree) Speaking of creative writing, I read "You Belong to Me!" It was epic, I have no other word to describe it. At the end of it, I just sat there and blinked because I was stunned and entranced by the story. I will give it a more thorough read after exams to enjoy it a second time. It was the first Naruto fanfiction centering on an OC that I read. I usually avoid OC's like the plague, even if the OC was a side character because of my paranoia for Mary Sue's, but yours was just too amazing. I started off thinking it was AU because Sasuke was acting like the Sasuke from Limited Tsukuyomi, and somehow he and Sasori were together as warriors, but as I got more into it, the Akatsuki appeared and I fangirled so hard. It was just awesome, and I hope you continue it, I really want to know what happen next!
I haven't watched all the movies myself, only that one because Akatsuki is in it, but I should! (And I wish that universe was real too, I like Menma, both in that movie and in Tenten's dream) I look forward to it!

You may notice I've just been checking out your comic strip thingies of the Akatsuki, so funny I love em xD
Anyway. That actually sounds cool, Historical re-enactment.. did you do that through a museum or theatre or work orrrrr?
And yeah I drew faint lines on his face with a grey eyeliner pencil, it actually looked pretty good He had sharingan contacts too :') It's great when you go as a noticable character cause people come up and talk to you about it and take pics and stuff, its so fun
And wow I didn't know Orochimaru had a son! Omg I shouldn't but Im going to google that now hahaa, I love spoilers! Everyone thinks Im crazy for 'ruining it' but I like to be able to look forward to something, I hate not knowing and I have less patience than Sasori with spoilers!!
And I mean, COME ON SAKURA seriously! You can do so much better, just think, she could actually be dead so many times because of him... And now they have a daughter!!! Stupid girl. Stupid stupid Sasuke. I do like Sarada though from what Ive seen of her I am excited to find out about them all and their character and personalities
Thats true actually, making an anime character 'age' so successfully is seriously impressive. Wow I never thought about that before!
And you are right about biased teachers... I had a Graphics Teacher in college who told me tattoo art isn't actually art. I was like, but its drawing... Just because its on a body doesnt make it none-artistic!!! I was fuming after that haha
And oh wow I can't believe you read You Belong to Me xD Thank you Did you read the version on Inkitt? Cause that's where the finished version is, for the sake of the competition haha, but wow I'm surprised you read it and so glad you liked it >< I always worry that its too cheesy or whatever... And I love OCs but I agree it is really hard to find good ones, but like I said before I love character design so naturally I look for OCs in fanfics!
And yeah I wanted Sasuke to be a bit of a player in it, I dont like him so he comes as an easy bad guy for me to write that my characters dont get along with heh.
You should deffiniely watch the others! There's another one (I think the third of fourth shippuden movie) with Minato in which is awesome!

Sorry for the late reply! I was trying to focus on studying for finals but I ended up doing some pencil drawings. I drew an optical illusion spider that terrorized my friends, a friend said I sharingan-ed 3D pencil art since I've never done it before and I haven't drawn for a while, I call it incredible beginner's luck + exam desperation XD
Thank you for looking at them! I'm glad they humoured you
It's a museum, apparently we have the biggest outdoor historical museum in Canada here. It's called Fort Edmonton Park, portraying 4 different eras (Fort/Early Settlers, Victorian, Edwardian and 1920s/WWI). I've been in Edwardian Era for the past two years (yes, I wore a corset and still managed to outrun the constable that was going to "arrest" me XD Occasionally, there's theater work since we have a theater in the park, but I only did it in front of fellow historical interpreters, I never did theatrical work in public since I'm not comfortable with it yet. (I'm in faculty of science in university, and I was the only science kid there >.>)
That sounds amazing! Haha, I once drew Hitler mustache on a friend's face with eyeliners for a history class WWII skit project, I could've done better, but I spend most of my time taking bits out of Hitler's original speech and piecing it to make a new one since the original one was too long to fit into the time frame of the skit. I always thought sharingan contacts are amazing, if only I could wear contacts without pinching my eyeballs out >.> (it took my 45 minutes the last time I tried) If you don't mind me asking, is unwanted attention a big problem? I heard people come and hug you when you don't want to... sorry, I've never been to an anime convention before and someone told me sexual harassment is big there >.> (But I agree! Going as a well-known character is great, it makes the transportation from my home to the convention a lot less awkward as well Though I must admit, I've had my fair share, we had a parade once, and I wore my historical costumes on the bus there, got lots of attention)
Sorry about the spoiler (even though you are kind enough to not mind it ) I couldn't help but google Orochimaru's son myself because I was curious about how he looked!
That's what I thought as well! Sakura should find a man who treats her better. I haven't seen much of next generation but I heard Sasuke is often not at home due to missions and that he has never taken a photo with Sakura, but rather, it appears that Sakura only has a picture of Sasuke in the home at all because he once took a photo with Karin >.>
I hate to say it, I especially don't like to call people negative things, but your Graphics Teacher is unbelievable, does he/she have any clue on how hard it is to draw on a medium like skin? It's skin, some people sweat or have oil secretion, some people cringe when getting tattooed (which is why I probably won't get tattoo, I have severe needle phobia), it is certainly a very impressive form of art because not only do you have to be able to draw, tattoo artists also do it with the idea that they might have to take responsibility of marking a person forever. While some customers would be happy with their tattoos, I've seen many react in a very hostile way, and some come to regret their tattoo after many years and hate the artist along with it
I read it on Inkitt. I love the universe you created so much that it took my breath away. I don't just like it, I love it! It wasn't too cheesy, you are being too humble. I like the characterization and I feel you've given me a good explanation of the process of Sasori falling in love. The only time I'm uncomfortable would be if a character like Sasori start acting all caring immediately on first sight in a multi-chapter fiction. I find many one-shots tend to have more time skips and can mention many events that cause attachments to form, so I'm ok with that. Really, I'm happy as long as the author give me a reason to why a character acts a certain way. You have a well designed character and I'm glad that's one OC story I read!
I like your Sasuke, even though I never liked Sasuke in canon, I feel there could be a chance of me liking the Sasuke from your story if I try to block my remaining bias toward the character due to canon XD (I don't know how to explain my sentiment toward the Sasuke in your story, sorry you had to read my blabbering on >.>)
I will! As soon as I finish these blasted exams >.>

Wow, that awesome! I used to do a lot of theatre, I actually went around high schools in my area doing a 'don't do drugs and why alcohol is bad for you' show for them with my old amateur dramatics group. It was fun, and I actually LOVE those corset style dresses and outfits, I'm so jealous you got to wear them for performing! Bet it was fun though
So you're in Canada huh? I'v never been but my friend's at university there for his third year haha I'm in the UK if you haven't guessed
Well I wear glasses, and through my whole high school and college life I wore contacts 24/7 because I HATED my glasses, I always thought they made me look ugly (they might still do, but I dont care anymore haha) and my eyes are kinda damaged and dry because I overused them, but I can still use them occassionally and I'm so used to it now it's like second nature putting them in. Just takes time and practice of getting used to prodding your eye. It helps to hold your eye open just gently holding your eyelashes up, and try to keep your other eye open because if that one shuts the other will follow.
Personally, I've only ever experienced good attention at cons, I havent seen/heard much of sexual harassment at the ones I've been to, but I guess it can happen anywhere. No one's ran up and hugged me before, they just shyly come up and ask you for pictures usually Everyone's in the same boat, but I suppose there's always the chance you'll get some crazy person who's a little too in-character who tries to glomp you? Though I've not experienced that
And don't worry, I looooove spoilers, I'm watching Once Upon a Time at the moment and my friends ahead of me and won't tell me a thing, it's driving me crazy!!!
And I know! I was so annoyed when she said it wasn't art. I was like, it blatantly is, I dont even know how to respond to that >.>
I'm still incredibly greatful that you read it and I'm soooo glad you like it! I was worried that Sasori was too OOC but I guess he'd have to be to some extent anyway, because we dont see him caring at all in canon really :/ Apart from when he was younger in bits. And I was deliberately trying to make myself write Sasuke in a way that I could overcome my own hate for him, but I don't think it worked, he still pisses me off

Avalon-Kore In reply to VampireBasket [2015-12-09 23:41:45 +0000 UTC]
Haha, theatre is fun, what you do sounds awesome! I went to different high schools in my first 2 years of universities to do presentations telling students to not text and drive, maybe we should have incorporated some skits like your group! I love corset style dresses as well, I started liking it a lot more after I got a corset that fits me better. The first one had been a cheap one I got off eBay because I didn't know what I was doing, I had so many bruises around my waist because of it I love volunteering at that park (the one where I dress up and act), they also have working positions, I'm considering working this summer if I don't have as much obligations as usual (last summer, I was busier than when I was in school, I was judge at Canadian Food competition, lab rat for psychology labs, volunteer lab tech in an immunology lab, painter and entertainer at the hospital, tour guide for my parents' family friends visiting Canada, back up volunteer for FIFA, as well, I was taking 2 higher-level university summer biochemistry courses, so I hardly had time to even volunteer at the park XD)
Where is your friend in Canada? I'm just curious, I live in Edmonton, Alberta, one of the colder places in Canada, but we've been having an incredibly warm winter this year UK is amazing, I've always wanted to visit, and I'm also considering doing my post graduate studies there.
I share your sentiments about glasses, this is why I childishly insist on wearing much lower prescription than my actual ones >.> I don't mind it for the most part, but I have bouts of intense hatred for glasses occasionally >.> When I read about your eyes being dry, my first reaction had been "let's switch eyes!" until I realized how creepy that sounds *remembering sharingan* I don't usually find my eyes too dry or too teary, but on days that I wear makeup, it gets smudged extremely badly because apparently, my eyes are more teary than I thought. (I fail at putting on makeup though, this is why I admire tattoo artists even more, it's hard to draw on skin ) I'll definitely try your suggestion when I wear contacts, I'm hoping to start practicing wearing this this summer when I'm playing historical people, since I don't want to spend a lot on purchasing antique glasses (I love many antique stuff, but I don't collect glasses)
It's lovely to hear that you experience has been mostly great at con. I could say the same about acting in the park while dressed up, most of the times we get positive attention, but there had always been a few time when we were made uncomfortable. I had a lady try to figure out how I do my hair... using her own hand, and another lady tried to flip through my petticoats. I know the time when I was real annoyed was when one of my friend has some family issues, so she was crying while in costume, and people kept taking photos of her. Even though it's great to act in costume and do everything the way people back then used to (ex. cooking, cleaning), but I've had friends complain to me that they feel like zoo animals being watched, and they are not just being whiny, we've had to ban visitors from park because they've tried to stalk us in and out of the park, two summers ago a man threatened a girl in costume with a blade >.>
Talk about glomping, I read on forums that girls dressed up as Yuki from Vampire Knight are most prone to that
Haha, my friends spoil me all the time because they know I love it, but my best friend is so scared of spoiler that she always ask us to watch the trailers and ask for our opinions (without telling her any more than the genre of the movie) before she decides to watch it or not.
Well, sometimes when people say things that are too ridiculous (like your teacher saying tattoo isn't art), others won't know how to respond just because the original statement is so outrageously wrong Plus, who is she to decide what is art and what is not? In art galleries, there are painting that look like random scribbles to me and they get sold for crazy amount of money. All I can say is I don't understand that style of art, but I would never say that it's not art
I'm incredibly grateful that you wrote it! Good fanfics are hard to come by, and when I see one, I tend to save the link in my favourite bar to read it again at a later date when my memories of it gets fuzzy so I can go on a new adventure! Your Belong to Me gives me this special feeling that I look for in a lot of fics, I don't know how to explain it, it's kind of adventure like, and it makes me feel free from everything I have to do in my own life. I don't find Sasori too OOC at all, to be honest, there was so little of his adult form shown in cannon that many of his characteristics could still be explored. For example, I always thought he doesn't talk much, then he surprise me in one of the fillers when he was explaining to Deidara why Orochimaru left by how many words he spoke in a row. In the English dub, he lets out this sick laugh when he said "I'm going to grand you all into dusts" (I don't know if that's the exact quote) after he lets out his Third Kazekage puppet, which kind of surprised me. Also, Sakura had told Yamato that he's grumpy, but I don't find him grumpy at all, he maybe a little cut-throat, but maybe that's just me. The point if, even if he's a real person, people will characterize people differently because a realistic human has many facets of their characters that can be explored. I don't know if you've seen Hetalia, but that's the anime I saw the greatest number of variety of characterization for every single character. Haha, well, I say bravo on making Sasuke seem less annoying in the fic than in the anime. In the anime, he's always going on and on about revenge, and how the rest of the world can't understand me, blah blah blah, I can see why people say he's almost kind of emo, but my point is, he's always so hung up about one thing that his character almost appeared flat at certain points during the show.

I'm always tempted to buy them off ebay! But omg I cant believe you actually got bruises! Maybe I wont then, cause I havent a clue what size I'd get xD
Wow you really were busy!! You should deffo do it though if they're offering to pay you for something you love, go for it! I've been doing some work for a bakery in the factory doing icing and packing the past few days, my back is in agony from standing up, but other than that it's actually quite fun... Boring work, but easy money and kinda fascinating in a way that everythings done, and its not that boring I guess because there's a few of us and we all keep each other motivated and awake haha!
He's at Brock University in Canada if that means anything to you?
Where abouts in the UK would you want to study? I was born in London and all my family still live down there, I live up North now though with my parents brother and nan, but I love London. Despite being busy and yeah the people aren't as friendly as up North, I still love it.
And yeah the only good thing about glasses is people can't hit you when you wear them, it's simply not allowed!! And I suppose they're more careful around you when playing sport - every been hit in the face by a football with glasses on? So not fun >< I'm not big on makeup but I try to wear at least mascara, otherwise I really do look like a boy haha.
That's crazy! It always makes me realise that people can be sooo different to how I am, like, I'd never in a million years threaten anyone (I'm a wimp, I don't like conflict anyway!) so it's hard for me to understand why people do things like that. It confuses and scares me :/
And really? Well, I'll have to remember not to go as Yuki... I don't know if I've already told you but my username is half Vampire Knight haha, the other half Fruits Basket.
And I know, the only time I've denied art is in a gallery near me where there is literally a massive canvas just coloured in one block colour, blue. I mean, yeah it can resemble lonliness or vastness or the sea or whatever you want to interpret it as, but come on. That artist got paid a whole load of money to colour a canvas blue...
Yes thats true actually! I personally think he'd have quite a dry, sarcastic sense of humour, and I don't think he's grumpy I think he's reserved and suspicious, not grumpy at all! Easily annoyed is a better phrase.
Oh god yeah, it's like that in Once Upon a Time at the moment, I dont know if you've seen it but the 'evil queen' is so hell bent on revenge no matter what happens and its driving me crazy >.> Let it go already!!

Again, sorry about the late reply
eBay is not a bad option if you are just starting and trying to figure out if you want to wear a corset at all, I'm just the type to not know my limit so I tied it too tightly XD Not to mention I started with a conical shaped corset, which is on average, harder to wear; I mean think of an icecream cone, it's narrower at the bottom, many corsets flare out after the narrowest point, which give you added support. I get bruises precisely at the narrowest spot on the conical corset. Also, sometimes I bruise easily (not all the time). I didn't sleep for an entire week during exams times, and I got a bruise from my hand holding onto my own arm >.>
I tend to want to do everything because I'm just so interested in many things, also, I love to try things. I realized for many things, I never knew if I'd like it unless I try, acting for that historical park happen to be one of them I would love to work in a bakeshop! Baking happen to be one of my favourite things to do, and also a major stress relief My friends usually figure out how stressed I've been lately by looking at how many cupcakes I baked (My muffin tin only holds 6, so if I produce 12 cupcakes, all finely decorated, then I've probably been very stressed XD) And I'm a major sucker for different baked good decoration as well XD But I completely understand the backpain! I get them from bending over cupcakes and decorating them forever, I hope you are feeling better now! (Actually, I'm finishing this message since I just returned from volunteering, I couldn't finish and send it before since I had to run out to catch the bus. I have backpain from baking now XD We made 6-7 batches, each batch filling 3 trays, but they were popular! Also, wearing corset hurt your back more )
Brock University is in Ontario, I'm in Alberta, we we would be a fair distance away. I heard Ontario is quite warm compared to the rest of Canada, but I can't be too sure since I've never been there. I don't know where do I want to study in UK yet, I find the entire country fascinating to me, and I'll probably be happy to study anywhere! (I like big cities and small towns alike, I've been to a number of towns in Europe on a school trip and fell in love with them )
lol I've seen people who wear glasses fight, usually the glasses are the first to fly. I sat beside an extremely violent guy in junior high who loves to fight with the guy sitting behind him, which means.... I get front row audience for fight and have to dodge flying glasses -_- I mean, even in elementary, teachers would make me sit beside particular violent students because somehow I'm just immune to be hit by violent students, maybe because I'm just not confrontational at all (unless in a wrestling match). I got hit in the face by a football! It break my lips >.> But the memory makes me facepalm not because of the pain, but rather, the embarrassment (I know, I have stupid amount of pride that nearly downed by twice because I refused to ask for help >.>) I'm sure you look a lot better than you think! Have more confidence in yourself! (And play with mascara when you want to, not because you have to!) Though I've never seen you, but I love your personality!
I saw your user name but I wasn't sure of its origin, but now I know, and I love both animes!
Woah... I'm really not understand people's art now... calling a blue canvas art... >.>
I agree with you about Sasori! I think "grumpy" is too simply of a way to describe his personality when there's so much more to him! (Again, this is why I think Kishi is amazing, for making most of his characters dynamic and rounded )
I've not seen Once Upon a Time, it had been on my "to watch list", but that list keep growing XD I can see why the queen would be hell bent on revenge though. I love your reaction haha, just let it go! XD

Ouch!! I never realised corsets were so much effort! Hahaa, I mean I know people say you cant breathe in them and blah blah but I could never imagine it being so difficult, I know thats incredibly naive of me but I've never worn one before or even tried one on (as much as I like them) so I just figured they could be tightened to a barable amount... I have no idea what Im talking about with corsets clearly xD
And I have a muffin tin that only holds 6 too! But I have two tins of 6 haha. I havent actually baked myself for a while because all my baking stuff is in my nans attic... Long story, I moved out with my friend for a year and when I moved back into my mums I had a hell of a lot of stuff that did not fit in my house... I'm a bit of a hoarder.
And oh god, that job was unreal. It was definitely an experience that I'm glad I did, but I'm telling you I won't miss it! Heh, my back did recover eventually, but if I never see another snowman biscuit again it'll be too soon...
And thats cool, so you have been to the UK before... York is lovely to study in, it's quite cold but it's beautiful. My best friend studied there for university and she'd recommend it to anyone! On a random note, they film all of Once Upon a Time in Vancouver, Canada... I'm not sure if you're near there. My geography is terrible ><
And ahh I know what you mean, I used to be seated next to this guy in almost all my classes and everyone hated him but I was the 'good one' so I had to sit next to him anyway. Was so annoying...
Oh thanks!! I love making internet friends, I always start big conversations like this on Fanfiction I love finding people I get along with (like you ) and just babbling about nothing and everything haha
Haha yeah I love the username, I haven't seen Vampire Knight for ages but now I just like the idea of a basket of vampires... xD
If you've ever played Dungeons and Dragons then the character building is really fun in that too, I only mention that because my brother is currently playing it with his friends (with my help because it's their first time playing it) and they're doing pretty well actually, with characters and scenarios :')
I've actually just finished watching Once Upon a Time up to mid way through season 5, so I'm up to date... It's so amazing!!! I love love love it and I'm soooo excited for the next season ><

No worries! Everyone starts somewhere. You are correct, corsets are usually tighten to a comfortable amount, I just don't know my limit XD Another thing is you change the way you breath, usually, most people engage their abdominal at least partially when they breath; but with a corset pressing down on your stomach, you have to breath with your chest, it's an upward breathing motion instead of an outward breathing motion, and that's where the whole idea of "heaving bosoms" come from. In a way, a corset is like a bra, few women walk around with the right size of bra, but for corsets, it's even more important that you get one that fits you
I'm thinking about getting a new muffin tin lol, I always make too much batter, but cutting two eggs down to one is just hard (I feel like I'm whipping nothing when I try to whip a single egg yolk to make it fluffy) I'm a bit of a hoarder as well, mostly for antiques. I like history stuff, and the era I act for is the Edwardian Era, which is about when most of my antiques were used XD Well, it'd be a shame for you to stop baking completely, but I understand the feeling, my back was hurting every time I try to bake with a corset on, I'd much prefer to kneel when I put the cookie tray into the wood stove oven, but I don't want to burn my big hair (we wear lots of wigs to create the big Edwardian Gibson girl hair), I was tempted to hit some visitors these past few days with a wooden spoon because they were taking too many cookies that we don't have any left for future visitors!
Unfortunately, I haven't been to UK, both of our school trips to Europe did not involve UK since we take the bus to go around once in Europe, but UK has always been my top on the "want to visit" list! Haha, I doubt coldness is a problem for me, we get plenty of snow all the time and winter used to be 8 months long, but things are changing, we didn't get snow until really late this year and people had been trying to get a refund on their ski seasonal pass XD I'll definitely check York out, thank you for the suggestion, I really appreciate it No worries, Vancouver is not too far from my city, it's about an hour of plane ride away, but many of my friends are there, in fact, one of them just flew over to visit us for Christmas, it's so wonderful
Haha, it's funny how similar our experiences are, it's nice to finally meet someone who was also forced to sit beside certain characters in the class, I mean, nobody understood what I meant when I said that before. You are so lovely! I love talking to you as well (As you can probably tell by our huge messages XD)
I agree! I have a cute mental image of chibi vampire knight characters all sitting in a basket (perhaps even with the sign "adopt me?" XD) I should check Dungeons and Dragons out then! I can't guarantee though, I've been incredibly busy with school... >.>
I'm so glad you like it! I should go see the show if you enjoy it so much!

Sorry this is such a late reply! Been crazy busy with Christmas and New Year! (Merry both by the way! Did you have a good end of year?)
And change the way they breathe?! I forget to breathe normally sometimes so I'd be screwed... (seriously, when I'm deep in thought or worried I just sit not breathing for a while and then I'm like oh damn need air!!) Hahaa
Ahh I know what you mean now actually, 'heaving bosoms' haha, that actually explained it well xD I'd still like to try one, but maybe ebay is a bad place to start!
I make too much batter too, but then I just have extra huge muffins because I stuff it all in the tins anyway :')
And I love all the historical style clothing and hairstyles, (like corsets!) so I bet thats fun for you to get to wear with your roleplaying and museum work. I like Victorian style too though.
Oh right well I've never been to Canada, but I'd love to visit one day. Top of my 'to visit' list at the moment are Japan and Ireland (complete contradiction, I know!) but I'm going to Ireland with uni friends in Feb so that'll be one off the list
And do you not get bored of the snow all the time? I'm not keen on the cold, but I hate snow - mainly because all my friends and family insist on shoving it down your back and neck and then your socks get wet and then the whole day is ruined when you have wet feet...
And yes I'm definitely going to get around to drawing that one day...
I loooooved your recent Akatsuki pencil art by the way! It's awesome. Oh and I'm glad I entertain you, I always worry I'm annoying people haha but I think our convos are great fun!

No worries! I've been crazy busy myself during Christmas and New Year. I have to say, I got a little sick yesterday, but that's probably because I'm depressed that school is starting in... well a few hours (I know, I have to change my night owl habit now that I have to start going to school in the morning again >.>). How about you? How have you been?
Oh wow, I think that's the first time I've heard that! I suspect I had ADHD, so I'm rarely focused enough to do anything XD Also, my hearing is quite sensitive, so I have even more trouble focusing when I've been distracted by all the sound around me (if I try to concentrate, I'll be taking in a lot of sounds that many people can't even hear, like high frequency noises only heard by young children... I've had a surgery to correct some of my hearing so I would be less bothered by sounds that supposedly only animals can hear such as mouse repellent noise, still, I've had to quit my part time job serving banquet because they play music too loud at weddings and I stop functioning because I go into shock from the loudness...)
Sorry if I've been making corsets sound like a bad thing, they are not in my opinion (even though my physiology prof would probably whack me for that opinion), people's views on corsets are very conflicted, some claim it has benefits, some say corset is just loaded with drawbacks with no benefits. And I would say go for it if you want to try it! Ebay is only a bad place to start if you are like me and tend to be impatient with tying the corset too tight (but if you get impatient, even an expensive corset can hurt you, having more support just reduce the damage somewhat), so I say compare the corset prices, if eBay isn't much cheaper, then go for the brandname ones, just make sure you start with a steal boned corset, not a plastic boned corset
I like huge muffins! I do that (the stuffing all the batter in) sometimes too
I like all the dress up and role playing. We have a Victorian Era there as well, the costumes are even harder to walk in (corset and bustles, Edwardians wear bustles as well, but most of us don't, unless for special occasions and if everyone in the costume department think the girl's behind is superflat... >.>), but on extremely windy days, Edwardian era costume can be a bigger challenge to walk in because you are at a bigger risk of being blown away (it has happened to me before >.> I almost got blown away despite having very strong legs from exercise...)
That would be awesome! Tell me how Ireland is when you get back please! I have a cousin in Japan who has tried to invite me over multiple times, but I haven't been able to visit due to various reasons
It does get a little boring, I suppose that what make us ultra crazy during the summer. Edmonton is known as the city of festivity, the city holds many huge events during the summer, and the dread for the upcoming winter only strengthens our determination to have more fun at these events (but honestly, I get a little depressed about winter coming in late fall because I like to walk the trails in my neighbourhood alone after meals) This winter though, we haven't had much snow because it's been so warm. I hate ice more than snow though, you get a lot of that when the snow partially melts and then freeze to create a perfecting smooth and slippery surface, it's terrifying when you are rushing to class and you see the person beside you slip and fall >.> Also, on windy days, you get blown back ward even as you try to stand still on the ice. I don't most of us have issue with wet feet, it's easy to get tight boots because sometimes when the snow gets too thick, you have to rely on your long boots to tread past it
Thank you! You are so kind! I don't see how is it possible for you to annoy people, you are so sweet! The people who find you annoying must have less than pleasant personalities themselves.

Oh nooo I feel your pain, I hate mornings... I'm really bad at the mo though, I'm only going to bed at like, 3 and then getting up at 1/2 Dx I start back at uni in about 2 weeks though so I have that time to start adjusting my sleep patterns... (even though I wont until the last minute!)
Haha yeah it's not a health condition the forgetting to breathe thing, I'm just dumb hahahaha xD Nah I dont know why I do it, I guess it's more like a bad habit than an actual 'condition' :')
That's crazy!! But cool at the same time, it's like a hearing superpower!! I can see how it'd be annoying though, but you could totally pretend you got bitten by a radioactive bat or something with super sensitive hearing
And I'd still like to try them deffo, I always keep an eye out for corsets on ebay but I'm never sure whether they're the right size or not. I guess I can only try and see I'd probably end up under-tightening it anyway if I do it myself... haha.
Ohhh bustles as in the poofy dress thing that goes over your bum?! I never knew what they were called, I'd love to try a full outfit I think it'd be awesome. I can be really girly with dresses and frills and stuff if you haven't guessed!
I will let you know about Ireland, I'm so excited I've wanted to go since forever for more reasons I can count. And you should definitely jump at the chance to visit Japan you lucky thing! Haha, I'm learning the language and how to read/write Hiragana which I'm doing alright at actually, which is surprising.
And ah well at least you get a summer! England gets about a week of sun then its just mild rain, mild wind and mild to medium cold for the rest >.> Such boring weather.
I know what you mean about ice though, it's horrible and terrifying, especially when driving! My car skidded once in a side road and nearly hit another car, I missed it just about but it was so scary :/
And aww thanks anyway No one's ever actually told me I'm annoying (that I can recall...) but I always worry I am anyway I think I'd find me annoying... xD If that makes any sense at all :')

I'm even worse, I tend to go to sleep just 10 minutes before the sky gets bright (in summer, that can be like 2AM, but in winter, that may be 7:30AM. There had been one time when I slept till 5PM (but of course, my parents weren't in the house, they'd think I'm in a coma, or yell at me for sleeping too late if I sleep past 2:30PM, in fact, they yelled at me when I slept past 1PM in many cases) The funny thing is, when I try to change my sleep schedule (usually dratically, like the night before classes, or after the first day of class, I always wake up at the exact time I go to sleep during the break. So for example, if I usually go to sleep at 5AM during the break, when school start, I may go to bed at 1AM, but wake up at 5AM) Haha, good luck to you, I hope the new term starts up good for you!
Psh, you are not dumb, you were just focused if you were forgetting to breath I know there had been a time in my junior high when people thought forcing themselves not to breath was cool, some students say they hear ringing, or they hallucinate and it feel like they took drugs... but anyways, some students had fainted because of that and it was a pretty big thing in my junior high.
Haha, some of my family friend say I should go be a spy, but I'm too horrible at remembering names and faces to be a good spy XD Since I can't shut off my hearing, I just learn to ignore certain sounds (it's a bit like the process of self-hypnosis to convince myself that I don't hear them, but I need to be able to focus, and convince myself before I become too bothered by the noise, hence sometimes it's impossible to do self-hypnosis in an environment that's too disruptive), this can be hard when I lose my concentration (hence why I sometimes go a little crazy on bus rides since I'm surrounded by people and my ears were trying to catch every conversation even though I don't want to (I don't want to eavesdrop, and I really don't care about random stranger's business). I remember once, there were 2 ladies talking about how I once slipped on a banana peel, and I had sat far away thinking "I can hear you, you know, and not to be creepy, I know almost everything there is to where you live, your family and work condition even though I never talked to you, because you lot were always the ones who were talking loudly when the other passengers were trying to read/nap quietly during the bus ride) And like I said before, there are places I can not go to because the equipment or other electronics release high frequency noises that many people can't hear, and it's always hard explaining to others why I don't want to go to karaoke, or why I suddenly refuse to enter a room because people just assume I'm being whiny when I get so bothered by the sounds that I feel as if my head is splitting open. Haha, pretending to be bitten by radioactive bat sounds like a good idea to me
I know it can feel really uncertain at first. I'd say get a corset cheap enough that you wouldn't be too bothered even if it turns out to be total trash, but make sure it is all steel boning (no plastic boning!). As for size, they usually say go 4 inches smaller than your current waist size. Just remember, if you are more muscular, then maybe go 2-3 inches, if you are softer around the mid section, apparently people tend to do 5-6 inches smaller. And undertightening is always better than overtightening. You are supposed to condition a corset before wearing it anyways (conditioning means tying it super loosely around your waist, and then gradually tightening it over the course of first few days. Think of a corset like shoes, it mold to your body (hence why you don't share corsets). Tightening it too abruptly can hurt your corset, yourself, or both)
Yup, there are wire bustles, in Edwardian times, many women would wear cotton bustles, so more like a pillow. I know in the park, they give cotton bustles to Victorian interpreters just so it's less of a pain to wear it. Since we have to perform (I mean, I ran from a constable once), we don't dress up in the exact same way as women back then dress up. (Women back then often had servants to help them dress and they don't move around as much as we do) And yes! Try a poofy dress if you ever get the chance to! I always encourage visitors to the park to try it (we have photography service that allow guests to take pictures in historical clothing, the clothing won't be to our standard, as in no corset since the park does not want to be responsible if damage occurs, but it's a good chance nonetheless!). Haha no worries, I love girly stuff as well. In fact, I often doll up even when I'm alone in the house (actually more so, because I doll up for myself, I feel weird wearing lolita dress outside, especially since many see me as a tom boy, and very few of my military friends have seen me being extremely girly... I mean... it'd be a pain if too many people in the military know and if I was to become a military officer in the future... >.>)
I'm excited for you! Have a great trip! Haha, I will try! My parents just went to tour Mexico recently and they told me that I should try that travel company because they've never had such awesome food! Haha, I fail at Japanese, though I can understand some dialogues because I watch too much anime I think my cousin often forget that I know a little Japanese and I enjoy randomly butting into their conversations with my horrible Japanese and scaring everyone XD
Yikes, I mean, I like rain sometimes, but not all the time. We rarely get rain in my city and summer is a wonderful time because it never gets too hot, but just hot enough that you can feel the sun (I'm kind of odd, I like it when it's a tad bit too hot so I can "taste" the summer)
My friend practically latched onto me today because her shoes were not good at preventing slipping, but I almost slipped myself several times. Yikes! That's terrifying! I remember sitting in my Mum's car, and seeing it go out of control, we almost ran into an electric pole, it was really scary to see the car go on its own (because it's slipping) when you are not driving it!
Haha, You are just very considerate to others, that's probably why you feel you might find yourself annoying. But I say just be yourself! You are an awesome person, and I'm sure many people life you. Also, who cares if we annoy others? As long as we can live with ourselves and be happy, then that's what's most important, no?
