Hello there! I realize that I actually haven't written a journal since spring break, wow. Summer is here for me and I am extremely relieved it is. One year closer to graduating and one year closer to college. I've been doing some thinking lately, and I've mainly being thinking about Mind as Judgement, as some of you know to be my original story published here. There are some things I really need to get off my chest as far as the story goes.

The story as a whole.

I look at it, something I completed almost a year ago, and I realize that there were so many things that went wrong. I always focused the point on Evelyn and her apparent troubles. That was really problem number one, because who likes a one sided story? Not to mention her view was narrow, once I read it through again, ad it didn't reveal much. I thought there were holes everywhere! If I hadn't been the one who wrote it, I wouldn't have understood it either. Everything was fast paced, where topics that needed more detail didn't get the attention they deserved, like the whole "snow" dream sequence and the impotence behind the pocket watch, while other things received too much attention, like the romance scenes. I apologize for those, I've never been one to truly articulate a love that seems pure unless I'm given massive amounts of time.

Even though it is flawed in many ways, I'm proud of this story. It's one of the only ones I've finished completely, and I was satisfied with for the time it was completed. I adore the characters, yes even Evelyn, and I love the concept I had used to create this whole story line. I know with time, this original story could end up much like Calyptica, the current story in the series.  (I love Calyptica!)

The characters.

Evelyn : She is a topic of controversy! When I sent out reviews regarding the story at hand, not many people had liked her all too well. Many believed that she hadn't become strong enough by the end of her tale, which these experiences should've done to mold her. If I remember correctly, she was brash at the beginning of the story, and if my line of thought serves me, I changed that because I thought she was going to end up too much like Jayme. Jayme is a super strong woman who can fend for herself and doesn't need to rely upon people. After a while, this image didn't fit Evelyn. I mean, she's from nineteenth century Europe; women back then weren't meant to very strong, independent thinkers, they were meant to be submissive wives who did everything their husbands asked of them. If she was raised this way, old habits die hard, and I doubt she would've acted any other way. In the end, I feel by becoming a martyr, so to speak, she redeemed herself. Through the course of the story, she didn't fight too much on her own, she barely did anything for herself, and yet in the end, she did something totally selfless and saved Chiyuu from near death. When you think about it, this was the strongest thing she could've done.

There's not too much else to be said. Whenever I picture her, I always imagine her to this beautiful and graceful woman who's talented and just... lost. I think all along I should've been portraying her as unsure, rather than trying to be something she's not and faultering in the end.

Chiyuu : One thing needs to be said here: I tried too hard. His character was meant to be tragic, at least from my point of view, and yet, he just seemed depressed. I feel like I was pushing him too hard to be mysterious, when he's really not, and that I was trying to make him a hero, when all he really has is blind courage. I honestly wonder if Chiyuu possesses any real power. It's his blind courage that makes him act upon his impulses, rather than thinking anything through, and that spells disaster. I know damn well he can fight; he saves Evelyn on several occasions and not to mention he's got unending resolve. This, however, contradicts with his depressed side. Why would someone who's born a hero act in such a manner? I don't even know the answer to that question. I feel like if his other side wasn't introduced, he'd be stronger as a character and probably win more favor for his personality over his cat ears. That was my fault, ultimately. I feel like if I thought less about how it would affect him and more how he'd react, it could've been much better!

In the end, he's a great character that I adore myself. He's a source comic relief from time to time, and from how I envision him, his smile is infectious. Since he plays a part in the rest of the series, I'll be sure to reflect upon my previous statements as much as I can.

Camille. : My God, everyone loves her! The majority of the people I had asked liked Camille as the best character. I'm not surprised, due to her cool and sarcastic manner. When I look at Camille, I wonder what I did right. Honestly! She's got the fighting spirit, takes initiative, and she's very much the likable character everyone looks for. However, you don't know much about her, and I wonder if that's why people like her. None of the drama in the story is caused by her past emotional experiences, which makes me think that she's giving off a shonen manga vibe. You'll learn that she does in fact have traumatic experiences in her life, she just doesn't act upon them. I believe that's what keeps her strong facade alive despite her ominous background. I feel like a review of her past is going to damage her character because of this facade she has, but the truth has to be revealed. I hate to break it to everyone, but she's not perfect. She's like every other teenage girl, ripped apart by her own feelings on the inside and too afraid to show weakness. In the point of view, she really is the tragic character of the story, just playing along the whole time while Chiyuu and Evelyn hog the spotlight. She's really more developed than one would be led to believe and yet, she seems so flat from how the story portrays her. Age literally just pops up in a library somewhere and decides to join in the fight. That doesn't make much sense, even if this is a story with a fantasy twist.

Camille is a character I don't have much to say about because, like many of you, am very fond of her. Even if she doesn't get much time to herself, she definitely will later on.

Final Notes. 

I do think that every writer needs to take time to analyze and break down their own writing in order to grow. There were so many things on my mind in concern to this story, and they needed to get off my chest. I'm slowly convincing myself to edit this story to make it considerably better so these never ending critiques in my head can finally go away. I don't think I'll very posting the edited version here, because that one will definitely be under wraps for future publishing.

Thank you for reading, if you did. Next journal will be a review of the new animes coming out this season. Well, the ones I decide to watch anyway.

Wazzup! So, as i was surfing and trolling my own deviantart page, i realized that I hadn't even written a journal in like...almost two months. I am back from my NorCal trip, that's long done and over.

Anyhoo, onto the most pressing matters concerning me at the moment:

SAT scores received!

So, this last Thursday, i was able to check my SAT scores on college board and i was...rather pleased with my scores. My PSAT that i had taken months before this predicted that i would only be able to score a 1200 all together, and believe me, that's not a good score to have. Especially considering that i'm heading for college. That wouldn't be too....yep. But nonetheless, i ended up scoring a 1600 even. That is a massive improvement by 400 points that i did not expect to make up. I scored a 530 on verbal, 520 in math, and a 550 in writing. And of course, my genius friend got a super high score which I will not reveal without her permission. Let's just say that her score was epic.

Hello Kitty Evangelion?!

So, i'm thinking i need to get 24 dollars. XD Hello Kitty did a crossover with Evangelion and they have a stuffed Hello Kitty out right now that's dressed as EVA unit 01. It looks really cool. All the other products released have been made for apple phones, but let's just say that i wouldn't mind a Lance of Longius on my Galaxy S2. XD The stickers have a few of the Angels as well, and more Evas and i think i saw one of Lillith and Adam. So much want guys...



Trying out some new Digital Art Programs!

So, as some of you know, last summer i received a new digital art tablet, which i haven't used for much...I feel like the reason is because i haven't found a digital art program that suits what i'm looking for. I tried SAI and i didn't like it too much, then i tried Corel Painter, and i didn't like that too much either. I thought i was just going to use GIMP, but i was watching 's livestream and he was using this pretty cool program called FireAlpaca. I really like it because my lines are that much more smooth. I'll try and post what i'm working on in the coming days. ^^

Well, i think that's it! See ya later!

Blech, hi guys! Sorry for being so incredibly inactive when it comes to publishing chapters and making art. School has been keeping me muy occupada. Therefore, it's been sucking all of my creativity. I've made doodles, but you know, nothing too major. I've got quite a few new things going on now!

50+ watchers?!  

I am honestly stunned by this! I remember a year ago when I first started, and now that it's been a measley 12 months, I'm up to half of a century!  (Metaphorically speaking.) Regardless, I never thought I'd become so popular amongst deviants of higher calibur than myself and I can't thank any of you enough for supporting may through lows and highs, art block and writers block alike! (Both of which I am suffering from now... I'm a terrible person)

NorCal Trip this Tuesday!  

That's right, I'm leaving this Tuesday on a five day long college trip. I leave bright and early with my AVID class,  seven in the morning, in front of Ramona. I am soo excited! Our first stop is UC Santa Barbara, and we are going to journey all the way up to San Fransisco before we come back. I'm going to post on pictures I take on my Tumblr, which can be found here:  thenandmshow.tumblr.com

Wahh, I promise to. that I will try my best to be on to RP.

When we come back though, I have to be here on the Monday following our return, which is a holiday, to make up homework that I missed. Which includes a two hour long lab with Mrs. Silva....  

KINETICS!

Das Anime updates.

HETALIA! Guys, I can't anymore. The first three episodes have already been good, even though Funimation was being an ass yesterday. Nevertheless, everybody looks beautiful. I guess that why they call it "The Beautiful World"  *insert laugh track here*

As far as Adult Swim goes, I'm about to finish Samurai 7. This show has been toying with me for God knows how long, and NOW EVERYBODY IS DYING! Fuck... anything else you'd like to throw this way? On a good note, when Samurai 7 ends, they're putting on Soul Eater! I'm so excited! I've been meaning to re-watch it, and now here's my chance.  

OK... I think that's about it! Bear with me on updates! They'll be slow for the time being. Bye!
