H--ack--hello all! Its been a while since I made one of these, hasn't it? First and formost: thank you all who left birthday wishes! I'm barely on here but I really, really appreciate that I got any at all, let alone so many! Man, I'm a piece of shit.

As for this journal: the Hidden World was a whoooole lot to unpack. I, personally, had a very muted response when I first saw it... and one of the main reasons being the asinine decision to spread the release dates over months. Most of us went in, unfortunately, with preconceived notions because spoilers are hella hard to avoid.

I had to see it twice to digest it. I saw it a third time so I could get technical. It's not without its issues, of course, and I happily talked about both that and it's finer points on tumblr. I figured for those who still follow me here, I'd put all of my posts in one nice cushy location!


I also have a couple pages dedicated to the Haddock Siblings because that is the one, main things I've been stuck on about THW.

Agree or Disagree, I've come out of this trilogy feeling pretty good about it all!

It seems I make showing up here a yearly thing. Sorry guys!

I just wanted to give a GIANT heartfelt thank you not only to all those who commented on my deviations (I tried to reply to some tonight but my negligence for this account has really built up. I love you all and I'm sorry!) but also to thank everyone who sent me birthday wishes. I'm honestly shocked and amazing that you took time out of your day to do so. Thank you DarealSammyAlle EllaMinnoP MiniKyu winterStorm42 TheFoolishBoop Darknight-Silver ARTYSK ZombieFighter116 Casey-The-Fruit-Cake Visr Wiccatwolf Alkry YAMATA12 consultingviking bloodmoon14 BlueMismar sharqbait NeonDrake74 MizaT11 OkagetheShadowKing for the Birthday Wishes!!!!  :blowkiss: :glomp: :heart:

And a final thanks to anyone who nominated me for HTTYD-Fanarts-Admin's HTTYD 2015 MARCH MADNES.  Voting is happening right now, so hop over to their front page and check out the artists they have up! Everyone's amazing!

Sadly, I don't think my activity on here will increase anytime soon. I just wanted to touch base and let you all know it's appreciated.  These days my fandom activity is mostly on tumblr, where I doodle or write or rant.  I or kickin' it offline... working, writing, catting.  Mostly catting.

I also have a new fic in the works: Leið. A gritty deviation from the first movie centered on Astrid and her struggle to survive in the wake of the Red Death's... Death.  It's... not for weak stomachs, I've been told.

Kisses from my cat! :blowkiss:

Hello - followers!  It's been over a year and I am very, truly sorry for that. :heart:
Where I've been I'll cover in a later journal entry, but for now I have a couple HTTYD-fandom things to cover. 


First and foremost THANK YOU, all of you, who participated in the HTTYD-fanarts March Madness 2013. I a year late, I know, but I won.  Like… the whole shebang. You guys are both incredible and insane for voting me to the top. I am like an old fart in this fandom now and I don't know why I won this time, but I did.  And the best part was… I was against ch4rms… the other old fart of the fandom.  The fact that it came down to us two… there are no words.  It's both uncanny and hilarious.  We thought so, anyway.

Except I don't.  Because the last 12 hours can only be told to me and not by me.

My day started as any other St. Patty's Sunday.  A quick workout, a nice Irish coffee in the morning, and the heinous drive into Boston where all the streets were closed and we had to use our wits and madness to find a place to park.

Then the real drinking started.  We went out to enjoy the parade with our coffee mugs, just like everyone else had their coffee mugs.  So it was basically a lot of joyful tomfoolery and drinking and someone brought out the Irish whiskey shots and I hadn't eaten anything and... well, kids let this be a lesson to you

I did trick this one guy at the party next door into drinking bubble soap.  I told him it was nips.  It was very clearly not but I suspect he decided to believe me because I was a cute girl.  Fool.

And that was pretty much where my memory started to go fuzzy because the next thing I know it's five in the morning, I woke up feeling fine and refreshed with the exception of the scrapes on my palm and knee and... oh yes, a freaking sprained ankle.  So aside from physical injuries, I feel great.  

And I had corned beef and cabbage for breakfast because I didn't get any last night. :XD:

So kids, always have food in your stomach if you're going to bring whiskey shots into play.  Always.

Or have the metabolism of a 300lb football player.  One or the other.
