    Post surgery update
    Decided to get online and check out how much I've missed since surgery. I know I didn't mention it before, but I had surgery to have my gallbladder removed and something abnormal in my liver investigated. Turned out that the mystery thing in my liver was just some natural thing that doesn't harm me. However the bile ducts on my gallbladder were really thin, thinner than the writing pen tipped cathdaer that the doctor was trying to put into it.

    Anyway, I'm okay, though obviously a little sore. I haven't been able to leave the house yet, due to pains and being tired, but I expect to go out sometime this week. Hopefully, this will help to relieve the abdominal pains I've been having since last January.

    Oh, on another note, belated birthday gift for [info]taurusbombshell. Hope you like it. X3

    Avatar trailers omg omg omg
    I know I'm a total fangirl when it comes to things like FMA and Avatar but the Comic Con trailers have come out and they are full of win! Links and squeeing under cut.

    There's a long pre-view for the 'Ember Island Players' in which a play about the avatar's journey makes fun of the characters flaws.

    Also new epic trailer for the rest of season three, the possible come back of Ursa, Zuko and Katara become ninjas, and much much more?

    cut for squeeing )
    More Squeeing to be added as I rewatch.

    Edit: Better quality trailer added.

    Manips post
    Ben told me how to manip .gifs so I've been practicing. Though I have them all on Deviantart, I also want to post here for linking purposes. All the original .gifs are from the phoenix wright series, the manips are characters from Avatar the last airbender and fullmetal Alchemist.

    Pimping an icontest
    Hey, random icontest for Avatar people. It's called Avatar: Last iconmaker Standing. I'm not sure if anyone that reads my journal wants to make avatar icons, but it's always a help to have extra people vote on them. X3

    Here's the link: http://community.livejournal.com/avatarlims/

    Mononoke and Moyashimon
    We've watched two shows in club this year that I just randomly wanted to talk about.

    One was called Mononoke. The general plot was about a Medicine Seller who goes from place to place seeking to kill spirits called 'Mononoke' This is perhaps one of the most brilliant series I have ever come across. It's like moving art. The people in club surprisingly liked it too. Normally they crack jokes all the time, but on this one, they're actually silent.

    The Medicine Seller is perhaps the greatest male character I've ever seen. He's always calm and insanely witty when it comes to his dialog. In one of the scenes, he admits to making the mistake of putting oleander into some incense, which is deadly. His only response after calmly this stating it is 'Silly Me, Silly Me' with the same steady tone and expression on his face as always.


    When he can finally fight the mononoke, he transforms into this version and wields a very powerful sword. The fight scenes are incredible due to the art style showing blood as things like dripping flowers.

    If you want to see the art in action, here's a link to an amv that was really well done. http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?vid_id=153072

    The other show is called Moyashimon. This is a weird show, I'll say that from the get go. It's about a guy who can see microbes. You know, like yeast and fungus, etc. Except instead of seeing them like one would under a microscope, what he sees look more like tamgachis (sp?) as you can see from my icon (the yellow one is yeast, I forget the other one at the moment but he's in sake). Here's a link to the opening: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GuqqeYyrxAQ&feature=related . The show's not done in cgi, but the opening is a pretty good representation of the show with the exception the that main character is Edward Elric with short hair and the doctor doing the thing with the seagull. *cough*

    Anyway, both of these shows are definitely worth watching and both are still unlicensed so if you want you can check them out at animesuki.com

    Bouncy Katara icons
    Awhile back [info]kartos made this cute like .gif of Katara based off the image from Magical Drop. To make the .gif even more fun, I decided to put in random avatar characters based on requests and things I personally thought would be funny. Anyway I'm going to post them here because I can.

    A:tla Last Iconmaker Standing
    Over at atla_battle, book 2 has begun and I actually caught on early enough to compete. (yay!) Anyway, every week a new theme is announced and everyone tries their best to match it, then at the end people vote for icons that they like or dislike and the iconmaker with the least amount of points is kicked off.

    There's a plot of sorts along with the contest. It's called:
    ATTACK OF THE KILLER ZOMBIES FROM BSSU (Ba Sing Se University)

    It's really a funny plot that I think most of us college educates can take to heart. You can read the full plot for yourself at this link.
    http://community.livejournal.com/atla_battle/14134.html#cutid1

    And these are the 19 characters competing in this round.





    The reason I'm posting about it here is that I'd love it if more people came to watch to plot unfold and help with the voting. I think it's a really fun comm and I think you all would enjoy it.

    http://community.livejournal.com/atla_battle/14860.html#cutid1

    I can't tell you who I am or what icons I made, but I hope you come watch, vote, and cheer for everyone anyway.

    Chapter 74 summary (I think)
    I don't know if this is real or not but someone posted a summary of 74 over on fullmetal-alchemist.com so I thought some might be interested in what it says. Even if you don't want to read it before the chapter comes out, it'll help when you're trying to figure out what people are saying (for the most part)

    I went ahead and posted it in full so you don't have to highlight everything, so don't click if you don't want to see it yet.

    Spoilers: Click at own risk )

    Season 3, Episode 1 Screencaps
    This is way early but someone on CAPS_LOCK avatar posted a few screenshots of the first episode of season 3. Keep in mind that it's a crack comm dedicated to talking only in CAPS when you're reading the comments.

    Spoilers liek woah! )

    Run for the hills!
    Does anyone remember Alvin and the chipmunks? A cartoon about a guy named Dave that had three chipmunks for sons (for reasons I don't remember nor wish to recall. Something about a chipmunk in a battered shawl leaving them in a basket on his doorstep or something.) They were named Alvin (the annoying one), Simon (The nerdy one) and Theodore (the compulsive eater) and they sang in really high-pitched voices and made millions.

    Believe it or not, this Christmas a live-action movie of this cartoon will be hitting theaters. Fear it, for it is evil!



    Why are they gangster? The world may never know.

    More on Avatar Season 3
    You're probably getting tired of me talking about season 3 by now, but until a new chapter of FMA with either Roy/Riza or an insanely huge plot change comes out, I'll be relaying all Avatar news I find here.

    Aang has hair now....for real... )

    This is all I think of right now, but I might remember something later and post about it.

    43 A:tla icons
    I've been making a lot of avatar icons so I decided to post them here for grabs. No point in hoarding them like a hermit.

    Preview:

    Lots and lots! )

    Most of these are entries on from the icontests [info]avatarstillness,[info]avatar_hush,[info]iconbenders I enter weekly. Others are just from practice.

    OMG Worst 1 minute icon ever!
    If anyone watches the Yu-gi-oh Abridged series, you'll get this joke.



    Those of you who haven't seen it, it's basically a parody of how badly 4-kids dubbed and cut Yu-gi-oh when it came to America. It's quite funny and definitly worth watching. http://www.yugiohtheabridgedseries.com/episodes/

    Arakawa doesn't love us anymore! T-T
    4 months. 4!! I know the story is called 'Fullmetal Alchemist' and that Ed is the main character but still. I wanna know what Roy is up to. He had that meeting with Grumman so you know that he's planning something to overthrow the furher without risking everyone, espcially Riza.

    And speaking of Riza, how long has she been in Wrath's control. We know it's at least a week from the last time we saw Roy and Riza talking and it has to take some amount of time to reach the North were Ed and Al are currently. What's going on with her? Is Wrath plotting something? Is Riza secretly gathering information as she proposed to Ed? Has Envy come by and tried to bother her any? (I'm never gonna let that go. Yay Envy!Roy) It's driving me crazy! I wanna know what's going on!!

    *Sigh* I'll have to wait 'til next month. Luckily, not only did the chapter come out on time, a lot of cool things seem to be happening.

    Current Mood: sad
