Previously, Noah Ringer's expressionless baby face has cause a bit of upset among Airbender critics. In a picture released today, the poorly accepted actor of lead role Aang shows off a smile. Pictures below! Article sporting the new image and insight on his casting can be found here: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118012147.html?categoryid=3834&cs=1

Personally, I find him both befitting and adorable. I'd like to here what you think, provided you leave out the heat of popular offense. Share your sentiments below.

So I was watching the "10th Kingdom" miniseries from about a decade ago, and I noticed many similarities between the character "Wolf" and Edward. The miniseries is meant to be a comedy, but Wolf's lines are often almost exactly the same as Edward's. Hence, I put this video together for your enjoyment.

I'm back to making school colours texture sets again. Didn't go quite as planned, but I think it's worked out OK. What happened was that I had the brush set at 40% opacity for ages without realising it, I just thought that's the way the brushes I was using were. But I think it makes for some interesting and slightly different results to what I would usually expect. And I didn't mean for the first set to look so festive colour-wise, it just turned out that way :)

I've been listening to the books-on-CD version of Twilight and I haven't got much to say on the book itself (other than it was really gross when Mike and Tyler asked her out within minutes of each other...ewwie.)
I was more preoccupied with the narrator.
He voice was sorta raspy right at the edges and she sounded TERRIBLY fake when she did Edward's voice. And I discovered that the book does not read well- there's nothing interesting going on. So I fell asleep during the whole "omg Eddie saved Bella from a car crash scene."
Also, the lady goes "he was perfect, he was beautiful" and it's aggravating. D:< Shit like that is just so lame to be reading out loud.
Other than that, no real thoughts yet. Perhaps I'll update on it. (:

Today on Facebook, I was presented with an add for this site...

http://www.bookbyyou.com/vampire/default.asp?id=Face-VK

You get to customize and star in your very own vampire novel!!

EDIT:

Here is my customized preview... I might ask for this as a Christmas present! My story takes place in Ireland. Or Scotland. Or any other place where people often have "Mc" in front of their names...

A college campus is the setting for Vampire Kisses and where Sassafrass McGee and Adonis McHunkypants first cross paths. It’s love at first sight, but as they become closer, Sassafrass discovers that Adonis has a horrifying secret – he’s a vampire doomed to a bloodthirsty immortality!
Although Sassafrass senses danger beneath his soft-spoken manner, and even after Adonis himself warns her away, Sassafrass is drawn to this creature of the night and loves him as she has loved no other.

the story continues... )

Out of curiosity, I decided to look up how often some words appear in Inheritance and Twilight. I couldn't think of many annoying repeats in Inheritance, so if you've got suggestions of things for me too look up, I'll add them.

Inheritance:

Mmm, meat.

Twilight:
Chagrin

I was actually rather surprised at the low count. I guess it's just the fact that she almost never uses it correctly that gets under people's skins.

http://www.theunnecesarean.com/blog/2009/12/4/stuff-white-people-like-talking-about-birth.html

This article is convoluted in that it approaches the topic of birth from a very "crunchy" perspective. There's also quite a bit of privilege in the comments, and some grammar errors and typos that sound terrible but were (hopefully) not meant that way. The post and comments may be triggering for someone who had a traumatic birthing experience.

Hello all!

It caught my attention in the recent Brotherhood episodes that Ed's forehead scar is very noticeable. Whereas in current manga chapters (well from volume 20 and up) his forehead scar isn't there anymore!

Did it...disappear? Or was it forgotten about? Did I miss anything?

I have faith in you guys. We all are those who know the difference between good and bad writing, and know how to help each other and help ourselves improve. We can be the future of the literary world, but we need to make our voices heard!
Now I'm not proposing an Anti-Shurtugal ad campaign or anything (that'd just be silly), I'm saying that as it's almost a given that anything written by any one of our community members will be better than that which we disdain and strive so hard to not be like (Inheritance, Twilight, hell, even Maradonia, although that hardly counts).
I know most if not all of us are writers too, and we can improve the world, and save it from a dark and bleak future! If you are wondering what I am getting at here, behold:

The Twihard Attack Directory

(EDIT: oops, broken link)
http://twilightsucks.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fangirls&action=print&thread=5175


Yes, that is right. That is EFFING right. That is a directory of all the vicious and legally punishable ATTACKS on antis by rabid, mindless Twifans. Now do you see what I mean? If we at Anti-Shurtugal cannot go forth and put good literature into the world, it will be forever stagnating into a dark and bleak place where putrid tripe like Twilight is the New York Times bestseller, the author of said putrid tripe is listed among Time Magazine's 100 Most Important People, and the fans of said putrid tripe EFFING ATTACK those that thing differently!
What in God's name is the world coming to?!

http://mylifeistwilight.com/


Some highlights:
  • So this week is finals week and what do i do instead of studying?? I youtube every video that involves rob pattinson and fail my exams! Oh well It was worth it MLIT
  • Today I went to see New Moon with my friend. When I got home I demanded my boyfriend immediately go to the gym and start working out and walk around with no shirt on so that I could have my own version of Jacob. He laughed at me and told me to find a new BF. MLIT.
  • My best friend decided that for Christmas, she's going to give me Edward Cullen. How? She's going to put body glitter on my boyfriend and dress him up like Edward. I think it's the best gift I will ever get in my life. MLIT
  • Today I found out that the boy who sits at the front of my school bus is called Edward. As soon as i found out i pegged it down the moving bus to sit in the empty seat next to him. He's now my best friend :)
  • i have just spent the last hour reading all the pages on this site when i should be doing homework. I also think people who do not like Twilight are self obessed. TEAM EDWARD. ROBERT PATTINSON IS HOT ;) MLIT. yeahh babyy :)

Yes, ladies and gentlemen: people who don't like Twilight are self-obsessed. Clearly.

Oh, and the best one:
  • Today my wife told me to write this here. I designed and made twilight t-shirts for her and her friend for the new moon premiere. I find the fanpires silly but still, due to my beloved wife.... MLIT
