Yeah, the ingredients aren't that expensive but I'm not sure how easy some of them are to find :x I don't do the shopping, so. ; u; Can it be a girl named Yunalesca
Not very. Just started on the Tenth. I know I've seen Girl in the Fire but I can't remember where I am exactly.
Illin chillin. I won a contest! My sandwich recipe is on the front page, you should try it. And I'm about to win another one enter Prose of the Season. Pretty hype about being able to write. E: Also if you'll build a Mega Mawile team for me I'll 6v6 you nonstop
Nah man it's cool. It's some serotonin tablet, for anxiety and a cocktail of other mild things. Apparently it has induced a VISIBLE change in my attitude, which is kind of awesome.
Well "Yes" is right out and this is clearly not "OK" so I would say "Hai" to them
Pretty sick actually. In the 80's good way. I'm on medicine and EXPLODING WITH ENERGY.
Fuckin' figures you'd only come back while hatching Slowpokes
Finally finished my own soundtrack, which is now in the OP. If anyone wants to post but is still confused on what to do, give it a look! Maybe it'll help you come up with ideas.
Muse piece • The Beast (Too Bold) The Laughing Hounds Horror • Thriller • Fantasy • Fable The only trace of civilization for miles around Anwud Forest is a little hamlet by the name of Blackburn. For many years the people of Blackburn could not eat their fill or sleep through the night, for each day the Laughing Hounds would devour all the game at the edges of the forest, and each night they would holler and whine 'til the first traces of sunrise. But Blackburn doesn't worry about that anymore, for the bold hunter Vyll put a stop to it. Vyll was the greatest hunter in Blackburn, and he would organize hunting parties to venture into the woods and chase off the Hounds. The hunters would take what game they could find, and return home to cheers and celebration—but this did not satisfy Vyll. "Even now we haven't enough food," he said, "and still the wretched beasts howl in the night." By day, Vyll lingered in the forest longer than any other hunter, and by night he would lay traps for the Hounds. Blackburn ate better than ever before, and the Hounds caught in Vyll's traps would be skinned, and their skins given to the hunters as prizes. Still, Vyll was not satisfied. "The fiends will persist 'til we root them out," he said. "But to do that, I must know how they think." No one saw Vyll sleep for many days and nights, even the hunters who took night shifts guarding the village. He would seclude himself in his workshop, devising new traps; or he would venture into the forest with the rising sun, and return at its setting with a king's feast; or he would simply stand and stare into the depths of Anwud, as if devising some grand strategy. Vyll waged a quiet war on the Hounds, in his mind and in the twilight, when no one watched the woods but he. Finally, one morning Blackburn awoke to find Vyll had vanished without a trace. The people searched high and low for their champion; but his workshop was empty, and the Hounds no longer whined from springing his traps. A fortnight went by, and still no sign of him. But the hunters fed the village in his absence, and the Hounds did not holler through the night. A tentative calm visited Blackburn—that of a soldier gone to a far-off battlefield, and the family awaiting his return. One night, without warning, the villagers awoke to an awful noise. The Laughing Hounds laughed fierce as ever, and now the sound seemed to surround the village. The hunters readied their weapons and stood forth, facing Anwud; but nothing came. Nothing but laughter. A sound so piercing it set the mightiest warriors of Blackburn to trembling. Suddenly, a second, fainter sound pushed through the din—a prolonged hush—and at this, the laughter faded as suddenly as it had begun. Blackburn did not make a sound, as though the entire village now held its breath. Moments later, a gust swept through the forest, the brush rustled, and all at once the Hounds burst forth in a frenzy, assaulting the hunters and ripping them to shreds. The laughter resurged, louder than ever, and mixed with the screams of the villagers as they were torn apart. The Hounds seemed to pour endlessly from the forest, like a great wave. And one body, scarred and bare, rose above the wave; one voice, growing from chuckle to cackle, rose above the chaos. Vyll stepped forth from the forest, his fingers and toes warped into claws, smeared with fresh blood. His smile tore the corners of his mouth, and jagged fangs flashed beneath stringy flesh. His hair flicked and twisted, itself like a beast gnashing its teeth. And he led the Hounds forth into Blackburn, 'til no screams persisted and no skin yet clung to bone. The only trace of civilization for miles around Anwud Forest is a little hamlet by the name of Blackburn. For many years the people of Blackburn could not eat their fill or sleep through the night, for each day the Laughing Hounds would devour all the game at the edges of the forest, and each night they would holler and whine 'til the first traces of sunrise. But Blackburn doesn't worry about that anymore, for the bold hunter Vyll put a stop to it. After all, a corpse needn't eat nor sleep...
Last question just sounded a little... judgemental to me :x
He's a different person?
See here's the real answer Everyone bitched about Mezmerize and Hypnotize so apparently we're all deathly afraid of change
LOLWUT HAHAHA WHY IS IT 3D Not sure if I'd get it if it did come our way but Yamazaki is always a selling point
Sometimes?
Jennifer Dunn If you wanted to see some pussy, you should really ask a living bitch. Playing with the dead is creepy as fuck. Jenn shoved his elbow into Dom. Dude, clean out your fucking mouth. As if I have to fucking listen to you, Dom said, and shoved him back. Jenn paid him no mind, and knelt beside Brady. Hey man. You all right? He considered putting his hand on the kid's shoulder, but thought better of it—Might just make things worse. Instead he left him some space, hands in plain view, and tried not to loom over him. It's okay, we're not gonna hurt you.
A lot of animes seem not to care that colors like blue, green, purple, and vibrant reds don't exactly occur naturally in human hair. Maybe it's just dye or a wig, but even then, do that many people go to such lengths? I feel like hair color is being used as a shortcut to make a character stand out, when one could do so with facial expressions, body structure, or clothing styles instead, among other things. I enjoy shows where hair colors are much more restrained - and even then, I don't mind the odd teal or pink, because then it stands out even more. The thing that bugs me the most is when characters get odd hair colors in the transition from manga to anime - I always picture them a certain way in my head, and since they begin their lives in black & white they clearly stand out enough already, so it just seems pointless to me. Kio doesn't need green hair, he's a sassy art student who loves sweaters and has a giant butterfly tattoo on his back! How 'bout y'all? Are you getting tired of it, or have you seen so much of it now that you don't even notice?
...So uh. I may or may not have started watching. It's pretty good.
Here's what's gonna happen. I'm going to give you a bunch of phrases that describe situations (like "Darkest hour" or "Rescuing a friend"), and you're going to pick a song for each phrase, as if you were in that situation and the song is background music. Interpret each phrase however you like - Whatever comes to mind is valid. To make this actually deserving of a postcount section rather than, say, the Playground, it'd be awesome if you explained your choices as well, or just painted a picture of your scenario and how the song fits in. (If a mod decides this is more Playground material anyway, move away - I shan't be miffed). Phrases (in template form) in the first spoiler, my own soundtrack in the second.

I feel like the lyrics suit me in one mood and the instrumentation in another, and the combination has fascinated me since the first listen. The more I hear it, the more attached I get. My Hometown • Shoji Meguro ~ Also Sprach Brooks A little soft jazz to soothe the soul. Nice even-tempered song, something you could imagine hearing as the backdrop to several static city shots. The progression also has this slow tumbling feeling about it, like a lazy day unfolding. Battle (Generic) • Jun Senoue ~ Death Ruins FRICK I FORGOT ONE. Well, I spent so much time tryna figure out a song for this that I forgot to do it, but then when I came back I went WAIT. I'VE GOT IT. For something to spring so vividly to mind tells me I just have to go for it. It's rockin', it's rollin', it's ass bruisin' music at its finest. Goofing Off • Tsuneo Imahori ~ Winners This track is so funny to me. Something about the warped, drunken chanting really gets me, and besides that it's got a nice beat. Fitting for rounding up the gang, goin' out for a night on the town, and gettin' in a whole lotta trouble. Trouble in Town • Takeharu Ishimoto ~ Despair This track spells "trouble." Writes it out in dark piano chimes and high-pitched, nerve-rattling strings. Not very long, but it gets the message across. Call to Action • Shoji Meguro ~ Stray Sheep Never been a huge fan of Meguro 'til this soundtrack—Most of it sounds overproduced to me, but his work on Catherine is so vibrant and free. Every melody is so full of personality. This one conveys tension and tenderness at the same time, as if encouraging the listener to press on, though the way may be steep and paved with strife. Then suddenly it crashes down at the end, accompaniment to finally taking that great leap into the dark. Battle (Worthy Opponent) • Ryota Koduka ~ Battle - B2 There simply is no better theme to get you pumped and ready for action. This is the track that lets you know diplomacy has failed, conflict has come to a head, and it's time to get medieval on somebody's ass. When I look for a fight song, I don't want something moody, I want something full of adrenaline; and adrenaline this track has got, in spades. Leaving Home • The Tossers ~ The Rocky Road to Dublin Had to fit this in somewhere, and where better than as a theme for leaving home? The way it moves quickly on from tearful goodbyes into the journey itself seems like something that would be true of me; I'm the type who'd never leave if I spent too long on goodbyes. And while it portrays a rough journey it also ends on a high note, finding friends far from home. Wondrous Sights • Nobuo Uematsu ~ Calm before the Storm My go-to track for anything with a "Wonders of nature" kinda theme, and anyone who's played the game will probably see vivid imagery in this track right away. You can just hear the awe and reverence in every instrument. I prefer the non-HD version for the fact that the synthesizers lend it more of an out-of-this-world feel. Battle (Rival) • Daisuke Ishiwatari ~ Nothing Out of the Ordinary DAISUKEEEE. At first I was trying to keep him out of my soundtrack so as not to look the fanboy, but then I went wait. Who am I trying to impress? It's MY soundtrack, I'll use whatever I goddamned want to. From there it was just a matter of settling on a song. This one has a way of sticking with me—I've never called it my favorite, but everytime it comes on I jam out to it, and I'd say that makes for a pretty good rival theme. Through Dark Caverns • Nobuo Uematsu ~ Ice Cavern Next to Pokemon GSC's Dark Cave this is THE cave theme for me, and this one's a little easier on the ears so I went with it. Though it is bent more towards an ice cave, I can see it working for a regular one as well, or perhaps a cavern near to the surface with lots of wind blowing through, weird vegetation, and maybe some magick crystals for flavor. Tragedy Strikes • Takeharu Ishimoto ~ Amnesia Not much to say about this one, it's the quintessential tragedy track for me. No profound sadness is complete without a violin crying to the heavens. Battle (Desperate Struggle) • System of a Down ~ Question! Might seem odd mixed in with the others, but it's had such a profound impact on me. Fragile, desperate, transient—The track seems to radiate these words, even imprint them and images of them in my head. I picture a blood-drenched warrior striking down soldier after soldier as cherry blossoms float by, or a burst of inky blacknness enshrouding the sky, snuffing out the light. Awakened Resolve • Kohei Tanaka and Shiro Hamaguchi ~ The Very Very Very Strongest And this one's the exact opposite of the above: a ballad of triumph, grit teeth, and vows bellowed through a bloody throat. An ode to iron determination. The vicious war cry of a man on his last reserves of strength, still so sure of his victory that he pushes through slashed arms and broken ribs to grasp it. It's the turning point, drums booming, brass swelling higher and higher... until, at long last, it dissolves into tired strings. Muscles relax. Breaths release. We've done it, men. To the Rescue • Omnia ~ Etrezomp-ni Kelted Went through a couple tracks for this one, some of them hyped up, some outright silly—but ultimately I decided on something softer, and that I'd come this far with a pretty serious tone and wanted to keep it consistent. Almost the only lyrics to this song are "Alliance of the Celts," and besides that, it has that sort of comeback melody that I'd expect from a rescue. My Last Journey • Kota Hoshino ~ On Satelloid Just about anything from this soundtrack is bound to be emotional for me, and I'm surprised I haven't picked more tracks from it. This one I just couldn't ignore; no penultimate theme sticks out more in my mind. It's a little hopeful, a little melancholic, and even has a bit of bass behind it, as of the slow, steady climb upwards to the final stage. Battle (Final) • Luca Turilli ~ Prophet of the Last Eclipse I don't even wanna comment on this one, for fear of ruining it. Just... see if you can get through the whole 11 minutes. You'll understand why I picked it. Homecoming • Home Made Kazoku vs. Daft Punk vs. Justice ~ Give Heart Back to Music | Shounen of Nazareth This might overlap a little with my choice for Epilogue, but I wanted to accomplish a lot more with this one. To capture the reward at the end of the journey, the excitement of the hero's return, and my own personal flair in such a situation. PLUS I WAS RUNNING OUT OF ROOM AND REALIZED I HADN'T MANAGED TO FIT IN ANY DANCE MUSIC OR EUREKA SEVEN. SO I DID THE EFFICIENT THING AND COMBINED THEM. Epilogue • In Flames ~ Dialogue with the Stars Seems like a good closer to me. It's heavy, but also uplifting, and it has a sort of finality to it. The storm has passed, but it's not time to rest yet. It's a credits theme for a hero with many journeys left to take; and to me the end of every story is the beginning of another, so I find it fitting.
