Hehe I think I might have been a teeny bit too excited š
I got my online registration email for my course today and I immediately ran to do it – quite literally! I was sleepily checking my phone early this morning (which is a sunday) saw it and bolted out of bed. I went through all the steps …. aaaaand yeah I donāt think they were quite expecting anyone just yet. All the stuff up there is about last year.
Hi! Ā Not a stupid question at all ! :D. Ā Apparently Illidan never really died in Black Temple the first time. Ā He was weakened and imprisoned by Maeiv in the Vault of the Wardens back in Burning Crusade and he broke free for Legion.
The Black Temple thing is kind of confusing because there are people who will tell you he DID die there. Ā But he turned full demon so now he can only be killed in the Twisting Nether. Ā It is pretty confusing. Ā But yeah essentially his body Ā was imprisoned but his soul broke free or something like that.
Iām having a great week, I hope you are too! š
Ahhh ok thatās why I was so confused! Iād been googling aboutĀ āhow did Illidan come back from the dead?ā and I read that heād never really died and I scratched my head at that. Because I just got Legion Iād only very very recently done the intro quests, and the Demon Hunter intro etc. and in that I could have sworn that theyād said that Maiev had brought Illidanās corpse to be imprisoned along with his Illidari.
So alright. It turns out google was giving me the right answer, I just didnāt understand it *roll eyes at me* but fair enough. I mean it did also say in the Demon Hunter intro about how Illidan had a special soul (like a player I guess) which could resurrect upon death. Which would make sense why Maiev would then imprison his body, to stop his soul from being able to reattach and revive. It would be like all those corpse runs where your body is on the other side of the damn wall and you canāt find a way round heh.
Thank you so much for explaining and being so patient with me š You are awesome!
… a story by me.
Guess what? Thanks to special offers and trade-ins and educational discount etc. etc. I got a new shiny iPad to replace my 8 year old MacBook for less than half-price? about half-price? So much money off anyway. Itās so much lighter (which my back is grateful for as Iāll have to carry it around campus) but the coolest thing about it Iāve discovered so far is the drawing capabilities.
Oh, oh, you know how terrible my handwriting is? Actually you probably donāt but itās bad. Well this machine can actually recognize it so I can annotate extracts for my course, I can turn notes into text with the touch of a button. It can split-screen! Split-screen! So I can have research on one window, my essay in another. Itās going to be super good for academics but like I said the coolest thing about it is the drawing.
You know I like to play with fanart sometimes well Iām going to be doing that again. Iām stoked to see what I can do with this new piece of kit. Anyway fic first, play with shiny toys later! I know this is a random post but I just wanted to share my excitement. Itās just cool š
Somebody remind me later that I just liked a bunch of posts I want to put in my queue. I donāt have time to do it now. I think sometimes I do this and then I forget so I wind up not reblogging as intended. My test forĀ āhave I reblogged this?ā is whether the post is liked or not, so weāre in dangerous waters.
Honestly sometimes I think I would forget my head if it wasnāt screwed on *rolls eyes at self* Iām wishing for like the 100th time that the like function had folders or something so I could sort what Iām liking. That would be so helpful.
Oh wow *sniffs* you are so nice! and so brave! I would be terrified to send personalized messages like this in case I forgot someone. But itās such a nice thing to do. This means so much to me! I am legit blinking back tears, Iām touched, youāve made my day!
Happy Birthday @worryinglyinnocent! I guess this is kinda like a promo poster. Anyway just a small thing to hopefully make you smile on your birthday š I hope you have a brilliant day!
*HUGEMONGOUS FLAILING*
I LOVE IT!
Thank you so much! š
Yay Iām glad you like it š I hope you had an awesome birthday! *hugs you*
Nope. I only write for a fandom if Iām really into whatever it is, and for me the last sort of bastion ofĀ āzomg I love this so muchā is to create for it. Iāll have gone through all the previous levels of:
– browsing reviews
– looking at promo pictures
– finding the fansites
– watching fan videos on youtube
– reading fanfic
– reading metas
and all the other phases that Iāve forgotten but then it gets to writing reviews, writing headcanons and making stuff.
Iāll never say never though. For instance if I ever did a fic challenge, likeĀ āpost all the shows/movies that I love and you pop one in my askbox, Iāll write a short ficā – that sounds like fun now Iāve thought of it, but in that case then yeah I might wind up writing for something I havenāt read as I havenāt read for everything that I like. Although I usually wind up searching for fic eventually š
Painting Layers with Love hands down. It actually kinda scared me for a while (alright it still does sometimes) how popular it is. Please, please donāt get me wrong that isnāt a complaint in the slightest. What I mean is thatās intimidating. Being invisible is kinda reassuring in a way. If I screw up then who will know? But if everyone is watching then urk it sort of piles the pressure on.
Thatās possibly why I havenāt updated it in forever, Iāve got myself into this cycle and itās hard to break. Iām scared to write because I donāt want to mess the story up. Itās important to me on so many levels to do this story justice, not just because itās popular but because the characters really resonate. I mean I suppose they should I wrote them, but I put more of me in this story than I have put in probably any other story. It matters that I get it right. Then I panic because I havenāt updated in ages and so the update better be damn good, and it needs to be now! Cue more panicking and then I just go and do something else because damn Iām scared and I canāt think.
I really just need to sit down and bite the bullet and start typing. Getting started is always the most intimidating part.
Any questions are always ok! You are so good to send me a question every week, I donāt know if Iāve made it clear before how much I appreciate that but I really do *attack hugs you* and heh I did say I loved this question! š
Alright then *rubs hands together* I feel like I should insert that picture now, of the guy standing in front of the board which is covered in pictures and string. *gestures to it* welcome to āthe planā duh duh duh.
Right remember that plan I posted a couple of weeks ago? It was my grand design of āgetting back into writingā yeah that kinda, well this is why my plan resembles a conspiracy wall. The oneshot has exploded and is either going to be a long oneshot or a short multi-chapter. Either way Iām not posting until itās done. As I said yesterday the shame of my unfinished WIPās cuts far too deep.
Anyway /facepalms this isnāt answering your question is it?
I kinda mention everything. Iām useless at secrets and I ramble about things far too often, so I probably donāt have any secret projects or ideas. I have just less than a month before everything kicks off for the start of university. In that time I WILL (not want to because failure is not an option):
In terms of other stuff. I have like 30+ ideas on the list (and I swear they multiply when Iām not looking) but because of that very multiplication Iām not committing to what comes next. Iāve said āthis is my next projectā so many times and then a new shiny has come along and dazzled me and ooops Iāve changed my mind. I want to write ALL THE THINGS and hopefully one day I will!
