Of the Supernatural and ...Merlin~ *and spoilers galore!*

Ok, before I forget.. HAHAHAAHA PON CHYAN!! I WAS RIGHT DAMMIT!!!!! SEE MY AWESOME THEORY OF SAM'S ROLE IN SUPERNATURAL!!! fuck, but still... lame... >.>

ok, spoiler:


lol-ed so freakin hard at Dean's attempt to corrupt Castiel. hahahaha Ohh.. the joy of watching those two... i wish i could yaoi them... ahahaaha Castiel's face was so funny!!! And I want surprised the hooker went out screaming~ hahahahaha!! well, at least it was because of nothing I would *cough* have imagined *cough*


Just stick to the basics, DO NOT order off the menu!


Moving on... Merlin has come back into my life, and I am happily fangirling Arthur again, played by teh most awesome Bradley James~ And.. in the first episode of the second season, we first see him... scruffy, just woke up and not wearing a shirt... (nosebleed) ahhh... that scene was MADE FOR THE FANGIRLS!!! AND I LOVED IT!! KYAAAAAAAA!! (<--- mandatory fangirl scream)
But
the thing is, I'm so pissed off at the direction of the series is going...

*spoilers!! spoilers!!!*


Ok, we see in season 1, Gwen was like, all over Merlin, and Arthur had something for Morgana right? So
what the hell, come in season 2, where the hell did these "moments" between Gwen and Arthur come from? I mean, the only hint of it in season 1 was the last episode where Arthur was sick and dying AND unconscious and Gwen was by his side, saying those "ganbatte" lines or whatever... and in the series, Gwen just so happens to be a maid! WTH?!! The people behind the series just want to make up this sorry excuse for a love tragedy or something? And would Merlin be ok with ArthurxGwen, since in the trailer of one of the episodes he was kissing Gwen, but crying at the same time~ And he was the one with all the "moments" with Gwen, so HE TAKE GWEN LAAA!!! (huh! yes kay! LET SHE BE WITH MERLIN!! BWHAHA!!)



It'll be much more interesting if Arthur were paired up with Morgana, since she's a seer, and Uther really wants magical beings to die. Imagine, Arthur eloping with Morgana for fear of Uther~ But then he wouldn't get the throne now would he? But it still would be much more interesting if he was with Moragana nonetheless. Anyway, Gwen would also bring the downfall of Arthur, the Old Dragon should tell that to Merlin. Tell Merlin he should kill Gwen. haahahahahahahahaa!!!! DIE BITCH!! DIE!!!!!!!!

(In the legend Gwen commits adultery
with Lancelot, henceforth brings the downfall of King Arthur, Arthur went out to kill Lancelot, putting Gwen under Mordred's care but later married her and stole the thrown. Arthur killed him, but was wounded and was brought to Avalon (or on the lines of something like tht =.=). If you remember, Mordred was the druid boy Merlin and Morgana tried to save, even after being told by the dragon he'd be the death of Arthur.. ironically it was Arthur that sent him back to his people.)

Another thing I want to clear up for some Merlin fans is about Excalibur. In the series Merlin went and threw the sword in a lake. Some peop
le said this was stupid, because, well, in all places why the hell throw it in a lake? This is because in one of the Arthurian legends, Arthur receives Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake, also known as Nimueh.

Speaking of Nimueh, in one of the legends, she
is supposedly Merlin's apprentice and later Merlin falls in love with her, building her a house by the lake of Diana. Merlin tells her a weird story of Diana and her lover, how she trapped her lover and poured hot lead onto him (as if there isnt another way to kill a guy) so she could be with some knight. The guy saw how fucking assed crazy Diana was and so he cut of her head and threw her body in the lake. This kinda mirrored what Nimueh did later on, as she trapped Merlin in a tomb (Merlin saw it coming, he but he didnt do anything and just went on teaching Nimueh everything he knew).



So, like
hell I'd end this post without mentioning Morgana's original character. Her actual name is Morgan le Fay, alternatively known as Morgana which I like to call her. So in the legend, she's a badass powerful enchantress, the antagonist of King Arthur and Gwen. Contrary to the series, Gwen and Morgana really do hate each other... she's still Arthur's half sister (different father), in later literature she is Arthur's healer and one of the enchantresses that takes him to Avalon.

After being forced to marry one of Uther's allies, she is unhappy with the marriage and takes on a string of lovers, later being caught by Gwen and thrown out. She then continues studying magic, at one point being a student under Merlin while plotting against Arthur and Gwen. Morgana was the one who stole Excalibur's scabbard and threw it in the lake, never to be found. It is said it had magical powers itself, the bearer would not bleed to death in battle. She also was the one who exposed Gwen and Lancelot (yeaahhh!! go girl!!) and used Mordred as a pawn in her game. But at the end of one legend, all her evilness was said to be a test for Arthur and his knights and to scare the shit out of Gwen (yes, im reading wiki). Anyhow, Morgana still rocks. XD Oh and I'm wondering if she'll become the evil person she is in the series, last season we saw her almost embracing her evil side, having almost killed Uther... but that didnt work out now did it? hmm... might be interesting seeing her joining the dark side. haha


And after all this, why you ask, WHY do I still watch Merlin, eventhough it has been butchered and become so.. corny as to draw in interest from the t.v couch potatoes of the world?


The answer is Bradley James. lol. *nosebleed*

This is a joke. This is all a joke.

You know, I really loved Watchmen ... but the sad thing is I only got to see it once, and I got in late cuz I was waiting for my cousin (pfffffft~~) and missed like the whole part where the comedian dies and like, 20 minutes after that (T^T)

And you know, I love quoting random stuff from movies and tv~ XDXDXD (I should do Supernatural after this.. XD i love Dean.. such random crap from thy mouth~)


Edward Blake: God damn I love working on American soil, Dan. Ain't had this much fun since Woodward and Bernstein. Congress is pushing through some new bill that's gonna outlaw masks. Our days are numbered. Till then it's like you always say, we're society's only protection.
Dan Dreiberg: From what?
Edward Blake : You kidding me? From themselves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dan Dreiberg: [referring to the exit tunnel] There's a maintenance hatch that will let you out two blocks north.
Rorschach: I remember. I used to come here often, back when we were partners.
Dan Dreiberg: Those were good times, huh Rorschach? What happened?
Rorschach: [as he walks down the tunnel] You quit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jon Osterman: In my opinion, the existence of life is a highly overrated phenomenon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


And one of my favourites:


Rorschach: [reading from journal] Rorschach's Journal. October 12th, 1985: Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "no."


XDXDXD Seriously, I love Rorschach~ XDXDXD lol

Living One Step Closer

I loved this song ever since the first time I heard it. Asong from my ultimately favourite band in the universe... but now, I finally can understand those words Chester was screaming. "Understand", as in feel, i can relate to the song.. I feel im living it now. Now I can appreciate the song more than ever.


"One Step Closer"
Linkin Park

I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
You'll find that out anyway

Just like before...

[Chorus:]
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
I'm about to break


I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again

Just like before...


[Chorus]

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up,
shut up,
shut up


Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up,
shut up,
shut up,
shut up

I'm about to BREAK

[Chorus]

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break



and a little something extra... ;D [taken from Reanimation.. X3]

These are the places where I can feel
torn from my body My flesh, it peels
during this ride, we can cut up what we like
Waiting alone, I cannot resist
Feeling this hate, I have never missed
Please, someone, give me a reason to rip off my face
Blood is a pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring

The Black Muffet

Yo.. minna wa genki?

I'm home alone today.. Friday.. a happy day, cuz its the end of the week. Get longer hours of sleep. hehehehe. As if I don't already sleep to my hearts content. Anyway, what shall I ramble on today? Well, firstly maybe you want me to explain WTH does "The Black Muffet" mean. Its my goth name baby. Got it? Muahahahahahaha, (black+one of your pets name) and I just added "the" because it sounded above epic. LOL.


My Love. One and Only. My Obsession.
That's Hot, Super Kawaii.

Ok, so not many of you might not know (if you're here by chance then you really don't), that I'm new into exploring j-rock music. No, let me rephrase that.. Visual Kei (ビジュアル系). My first experience to VK was the Trinity Blood opening bu Buck Tick. "Woah, that was dark, and cool, but too... heavy?"  was what I was thinking in my head that time. And when I said heavy I meant the vocals.. how should I put it? Ahh.. you know, like Yomi's vocals in Nightmare.. hahaha~ = =''' And so I kinda got bored listening to Nightmare (I skipped Buck Tick  XP) so I stopped for a bit and listened to bands like High and Mighty Color and UVERworld, which I love. But after a while Idecided to give VK another try and went browsing which new band I should give a listen to. It was either Alicenine, The Gazette, Miyavi, LM.C or Girugamesh~ Girugamesh and The Gazeete looked scary and Miyavi looked too mainstream, and LM.C looked too happy. So i picked alicenine cuz... I saw Hiroto's pic. XDXDXDXDXDXDXD  (honest!!)

Anyway, I loved alicenine, I love Shou and I got confused who was who (I thought Hiroto was Tora, Tora was Saga, Saga was Tora~~) and started listening to Miyavi. He rocked. He rolled. He ruled. I love him. And his guitar playing skills. 

Ore-sama Miyavi! You know he's hawt. 

3 Beautiful People. Ok, Now Let me just lay beside thee. I can die happy.

And so now, I'm beggining to love The Gazette, and other bands as well. So one day, I stumbled upon something interesting.. A blog (in spanish) explaining the different types of VK (hahahaa xD me and my ignorence only thought there were 2- Visual Kei and Oshare Kei. Don't flame me now. I'm still learning!) Ok, so these are some of the extracts from Akiry Blog

"Some bands have been handling "types" of visual oshare, kotekote, eroguro, etc ... but are beginning to fall into disuse because the bands have been combining and adopting new styles which can not be seen as one." <--disclaimer X3
My disclaimer: I translated some of the desciptions here, for general use, I dont know if its right or not, since I cant speak Spanish, and I am clueless of where they got the definitions (I'm thinking its their own.. XP) Some of my own words are thrown in there, which are in itallic or bold~ If they seem random and out of place, they're mine. :)

Kote Kote
(I shall never say this out loud, not to be caught dead, I shall define this as VK instead, eventhough it might be wrong in some ppl's eyes/ears)
The typical image that comes to people when they hear the word "visual-kei." Extravagant leather costumes, hairstyles and flashy with colors in sharp contrast with makeup  white faces. 

Oshare Kei
The word oshare in Japanese generally means elegant or someone who has too much in this fashion. The bands of this type are very extravagant and almost always wear colorful costumes and a bit exaggerated. Usually applies cheerful, fun, happy and all derivatives as well as infant and tender attitude that occurs in humans. Their sound reflects this attitude with each pose. Example: An Cafe X3

Takuya. Me love you. Miku. Cute as always.
Angura Kei
Comes from the word "underground", The bands of this kind are few and are characterized by a traditional Japanese touch but obviously a bit dark. Go google the bands la! XD hahaha 

Eroguro Kei 
Derives from the words and Erotic Grotesque. Able to recognize the bands of this type simply watching your videos, photos, costumes and monsterous, violent and disgusting makeup until the sound can be integrated. 
From Wikipedia: Erotic Grotesque Nonsense, frequently shorted to Ero guro(エログロ ) is a wasei-eigo term that describes a literary and artistic movement from 1920s and '30s Japan. Ero guro puts its focus on eroticism, sexual corruption and decadence. This movement is often used incorrectly by western audiences to mean "gore" - depictions of horror, blood, and guts. In actuality the "grotesque" term implies malformed, unnatural or horrific. While ero guro is a specific movement, many of its components can be found throughout Japanese history and culture. Items that are pornographic and bloody are not necessarily ero guro. The band Cali Gari was heavily influenced by Erotic Grotesque Nonsense and Angura. Western Visual Kei fans mistook this theme as a description of their "genre" and linked it with other Visual Kei bands. 

Ohh.. so Grotesque Parody aniki is into this stuff? hahaha. Best ke? Mintak tunjuk ajar~ XD
White kei
The vocalist takes the feminine role.. usually in white, the sound becomes more light in their songs (but not rule). 

Shironuri kei
Gang members, they generally like to wear school uniforms or traditional Japanese clothing with a dark childhood, but their faces are completely white with contrasting black and red lips and eyes~

Nagoya kei
The bands that follow this style are in the vicinity of Nagoya, and has a bizarre image, used clothing, hat, tie, vest, shirt or dress (for the"girl"). Something more formal but not so dark and bizarre, depending on its makeup is music~
From Wikipedia: Nagoya kei is a subgenre of visual kei, with its roots in the modern music scene of Nagoya, Japan. Often considered darker and gloomier than normal keinagoya takes its musical influences moreso from western (specifically Britishpunk rock bands than visual kei initially had. The focus of nagoya bands tends to be much less on costumeand makeup in favor of more complex musical compositions and concentration on the music itself. Notable bands include DeadmanKeinThe Studs, etc. - Kinda contrasting? XD lol

Koi kei X 
Is based on the lyrics of songs and style, are romantic and ironic and a bit pop-rock. Includes Miyavi, Gackt, The Gazette,etc.

Shibuya kei
Obviously a style that place, the vocals are usually women who have a special touch to dress, the atmosphere is usually used for white backgrounds that contrast with the bright colors worn.
From Wikipedia: Shibuya-kei (渋谷系) originated in the Shibuya district of Tokyo. It is best described as a mix between jazz, pop, and electropop. The word for Shibuya (渋谷) is combined with the Japanese word kei () which literally means "system" or, in this context, "style", to form Shibuya-kei which roughly translates to "Shibuya style". Emm.. Puffy AmiYumi? 
Kurofuku kei
From = kuroi fuku = clothes and dark. This style is almost equal to Nagoya kei, the difference is not so "formal" or sober.Example: LUNA SEA. 

Iryou kei
The image is still here is that scientists / doctors / nurses and all that derives crazy / bloody / malignant / mysterious; clearly identified by using a coat~

Psychotic. Just the way I like it. XD

Jyaa, kinda long laa my post for today~ ahahahaha, beat that Kay!! XDD lol, my random "informative" posts are just overwhelming meh! hahahaa XD jyaa naa~
