So remember how I said that I'd try to help people stuck in the Labyrinth? Well, I guess he heard me, because now I'm here too. And I can't fly my way out either, which is weird. I guess it's good I wasn't too used to it!
And wow, lots of new people again! Welcome! ^_^ |

Um, I just wanted to say, I hope people enjoyed the Hellblazer. If anyone read it. I know it's kind of intense and icky; I guess I should have warned about that ahead of time. It's just the most recent stuff, so sorry about that, too.
Um, so people are stuck in a labyrinth? That's... I'd try to come rescue you, but I'm not sure I can get there. It doesn't seem to be somewhere you can normally get to. I'm sorry! If there's anything else I can do, I will! |

There's no one here exactly from my fandom. Well, no one that knew me before, at least. But a couple of you are almost from the same one, at least related. So I uploaded a bit of one of them.
Hellblazer 216-230 plus Papa Midnite special
Um, you're not in these, Delirium, but I'll try to upload something with you in it next time. And, um, I think you might be in some of Lucifer, Gabriel, but I wasn't sure you'd like it. I'll work on it, though even these few issues took way too long. I need a better connection. D:
You can read these with CDisplay or unzip them. I hope you like them?
Sorry I haven't been around much; things have been surprisingly busy lately, even for me. I'm glad I missed turning into an animal this time, though!
Edit: For those of you who won't like Hellblazer, here's an issue of Gotham Knights featuring me! Though what happens in it is seriously gross. |

It seems I need to clarify some things about my post yesterday. Rather than repeating myself in multiple comments, I am posting again. This way everyone can see it at once!
There's no shame in being in a bad situation. It happens to everyone. Even if you're in it because of your own mistakes, that sucks, but we all do it. There's nothing wrong with not being able to handle everything yourself, either. Even Batman accepts helps when he needs it.
When you're in a situation like that, there are several things you can do. You can try to resolve the situation yourself, even if it's hard work and takes a long time. You can ask for help. Or you can do both, doing what you can on your own and accepting help for the rest. But if you do neither and merely whine about how bad things are and refuse help when offered, that's when you should feel ashamed. It's weak and pathetic and shows you want pity, not for things to change. Sure, it's fine to want sympathy in a moment of weakness, but you have to be strong, too! Take that sympathy and be encouraged to work even harder!
And don't say you refuse help for the protection of others either! That's not only just an excuse, it also disrespects the people offering their help. Make sure they have all the information, yes. But once they do, if they choose to risk themselves, respect that choice. It's theirs to make, not yours. Even if you don't know them. Even if you don't think you're worth it. You shouldn't try to make that choice for other people! If I save someone from being mugged and they say, "Thank you, but you shouldn't have saved me. It was too dangerous," I think they're not only grateful, they're also a paternalistic jerkwad. I risk my life for strangers every night, but that's my choice to make and you aren't going to take it from me!
Someone who really wants help accepts it from anyone who offers. Even an enemy can be a worthwhile ally in the right circumstances. If the same person instead says, "I didn't want you to rescue me; I wanted it to be Batman!" that suggests the whole thing was a setup. Even if they really needed help, they had an ulterior motive for getting into trouble in the first place.
Lastly, encouraging your friends to be pathetic and seek only sympathy instead of solutions isn't being nice or being a good friend. You aren't helping them that way. Even good people can be idiots at time and the true friend tells them when they're being stupid instead of protecting them from hearing it. How can anyone grow if they don't even recognize their mistakes to learn from them?
I know it's not just girls guilty of these things, either. I just see them do it more and it bugs me more because I'm a girl, too, and it makes us all look bad. You're only weak and helpless if you choose to be! |

Having fought them twice now, zombies are definitely icky. Annoying, too, but mostly icky. I'd rather fight things that don't squish. And the smell is incredibly foul and you don't even want to know how hard it is to get the goo off your costume.
I got a kitten! He's really cute! It was the last one, but I don't care. He's good company! Makes me feel a bit like Catwoman, though. But I guess that isn't all bad.
I hate girls who play helpless. It's stupid and makes us all look bad. It's not worth it, either. Whatever you get from being underestimated isn't as good as being competent in the first place. And why do you want pity? Wouldn't you rather be respected? I know I would! I'll take help if I need it, but I never wanted anyone's pity.
I also hate people pretending they need help when they don't. Some people have real problems, you know. Don't waste people's time and energy if you don't. If you need attention that badly, go earn it! And if you're picky about who helps you? You don't really need help then, anyone can tell that. It's idiotic. Either you need help or you don't. I thought people here were nice, but obviously I was too optimistic about some of them.
Edit: If any of you wanted the song I was listening to, here it is: If You Hate Your Friends, You're Not Alone |

Valentine's Day. Never my favorite holiday and definitely not this year. It's been a lonely year, really.
I hear in Japan, girls give chocolate to guys they like today. Seems kind of backwards. And isn't that embarrassing, setting yourself up for rejection like that? Not that I expect anything.
Oh well. At least it's just one day. It'll be over soon enough.
Yeah, I know; this isn't very typical of me. Sorry. I'm sure I'll be in a better mood soon. |

Um, there are some vampires on here, aren't there? I, well, I... somehow... I think I'm one now, too? And I don't know how it happened and I don't like it and I don't know how to fix it or what to do! I'm hungry but do I really have to bite people to get blood? That's just... I'll do it if I have to, but... How do you do this? |

| Observation Notes [filtered from Pride, Envy, and Hiyoshi] |
[Dec. 29th, 2006|07:13 pm] |
I've been observing Envy and Pride for two nights now. Things here have been strange. The first night, Pride was outside, but nearby, and seemed to have no mission of any sort, so I merely watched.
What I didn't expect was to witness him being kidnapped, by some sort of supernatural creature and taken through a portal. Envy didn't expect it either; he looked everywhere for him. And then, we waited. I did some research and I think I know what took him and where they went, but I have no way there myself, nor did Envy.
When Pride returned, he was shoved through the portal... and I swear he was dead. I know what dead looks like and - that was dead. But I guess it's true that homunculi can't die, because he got back up again and seemed fine, if angry. I can't blame him for that. Now both of them are inside again. At least neither of them has made a move to hurt anyone else... though whatever he's done, I wish I could have helped Pride. It was just so fast and unexpected! I don't know if anyone could have done it. |

So I wanted to make some icons of some of the awesome people I met here on Livejournal! But a lot of you are much harder to find images of than I expected, and I'm not very good at this icon thing, so it takes me a long time. But I made a few anyway, plus one of a friend of mine who isn't here.
   
I made a few others, but I don't think they're good enough to share. Shrinking images and not having them become crappy is hard! |

I'm not sure what I think of anonymous memes now. They're fun, but then people keep asking who you are and if you keep giving hints they'll eventually get it... the guessing game part of it is kind of fun but kind of embarrassing when they know, at least if they didn't know already and you were honest. I guess the outcome so far has been promising, but I'm still a bit wary... and I know some people wound up upset, which sucks. I mean, it's just a meme, right? And a mistletoe kiss is nice, but it doesn't necessarily mean much. Does it?
Livejournal is extraordinarily difficult of late; some comments took me literally 20 tries! And some get misplaced and some get eaten... and now this bizarre layout change. What are they thinking?
And so, those shards or whatever... I have powers now! I never had powers before. It's awesome and really exciting! Though hard to get used to. I wonder how everyone else does it? I'll have to ask. No one can tell me I need to stop or that I'm not good enough now! Not that I ever listened anyway. |

There seems to be a lot of this going around, but I'm posting about it anyway. I was out last night and suddenly, it felt like I had gotten shot or something; a sharp shock and the sensation of something hitting me. But there were no wounds, just damage to the costume (a costume which, by the way, is supposed to be bulletproof). What the hell are these things?
After that, I had to go home because I felt too strange. My body was just... weird and I felt like I couldn't really control it half the time. I couldn't risk getting into a fight like that!
So, the rest of you who've had this happen to you: are the effects lasting? What did it do to you? Are there any side effects? And what the hell do I do now? |

If people are offering just general help with this scavenger hunt thing, I might as well do it, too, especially considering some of the dangerous things you're being asked to do. I'm a superhero; it's what I do. I'm not Superman or anything, but I can do some basic protection and bodyguarding if you need it. |

I have been unable to post until now because I have been grounded. Why? Because I was a kitten last weekend and my mother, who decided to notice what the hell I do for once, sensibly believed it far more likely that her 16-year-old daughter had elected not to come home all weekend than that she had become a cat.
But I think things are mostly okay now, as long as it doesn't happen again. Not that I don't have other people not impressed with my absence. *sigh* Some of us do have important things to do, you know, and really can't afford to become kittens. So please avoid sharing any like insanity with me in the future.
Ginny, did you still want to learn how to shoot a bow? I can find time to teach you now. Some general martial arts stuff, too, though I suppose as a witch you don't really need to know it for self-defense or antyhing.
Oracle sent me a link to this video which is both sweet and seems very appropriate around here, as I'm sure you'll see if you watch it. |

Ok, fandom, what the heck is this? Look, making a TV show about Supes I can understand. He's big, he's bold and all that. A lot of details are wrong, but it's mostly forgivable. But this? Green Arrow does not wear a green leather codpiece! I have to agree with the fan who posted this image: they have made Green Arrow into a rentboy and that's just wrong. Kind of funny, but wrong.
And btw, the bow is all wrong as well. |

| On Multiverses and Crises |
[Sep. 10th, 2006|03:30 pm] |
So fandom is clearly a multiverse, though there's far more traffic between the universe than is usual for such things. But now there are plotholes and multiple truths, even within individual fandoms. Does this mean we need a Crisis here on livejournal? And if so... a Crisis always seems to require a sacrifice (Oh, Kon, I miss you!)... and there's no one here who wears the S. So who... it couldn't be me, could it? No, of course not, Stephanie, get a grip. You're not Supergirl or even Wonder Girl; there's no way you'd have to die to fix this unstable multiverse!
Things always change after a Crisis, too... It's kind of scary. What would be the new truth of reality? Who would we all be? Will we even still all exist? Some people could just disappear and none of us even remember them... I can't think of a worse fate. Worse even than death, to have never existed at all. |

I had heard a lot about manga taking over American comics, but I hadn't realized quite how thoroughly they had done so until I made this journal and started looking at who else was active in fandom. Is everyone here Japanese?!? Not that there's anything wrong with it; it's just... not what I expected. And I don't speak any Japanese. I mean, they make all these movies, like Superman Returns and Batman Begins, and yet... doesn't anyone like superheroes anymore? And no, I don't mean Sailor Moon!
I've never really read any manga before; I guess I have to so I know my way around here. Are they all about tennis, though? I can't see why they'd be so popular if so.
Ooo, wait, there are Harry Potter characters here? Finally someone I recognize and am excited to meet!
Since this is my first entry, I guess I should introduce myself here. Hi, my name is Stephanie, I'm 16 years old, and I live in Gotham City (again, now that it's been repaired from the quake). |
