oh baby youuuuu, you got what i neeee-eeeeed.

[nagyka]

Hey, dudes & dudettes! I'm Lucy and I bring with me Quistis Trepe from some obscure game you've probably never heard of called Final Fantasy VIII! She's set up as a spouse in house #1468! Her canon point is Disc Two, before going to Trabia Garden.

I don't like to do intro posts, so I will probably bum around until that newbie log. My motto is "if it's dumb, I want to RP it," so please come to me if you have really stupid ideas and need someone to jam with!!

I can be found on AIM at instructor fourteen (or my old one, candyfloss branch if I'm playing sneaky-sneak) and plurk at esuna (this is where I talk about RP and dogs)!

Oh, man! Excellent. I've never been much into cosplay (puts all my extra money into original comic artwork instead tbh), but I've thought a few times about putting on a poofy green wig and jammin' with a Terra or Rydia costume. I love their character designs 8(

That is actually one manga I have read!! I actually have always liked her more than Usagi tbh, though I get Usagi is meant to on some level be a reader insert, I just never really cared for her...

If I had the time and drive, I'd pick up Mulder tbh. If we're talking conspiracy theorists I love, I mean!

It's fun. I practically live for cosplay on a budget.

Yay! I do play her manga version! Sugar cute cavities. I fell in love with her manga rendition.

lololololol Lavi's friends with Scully. (I have watched every x-files ep btw. used to have them on vhs.)

[nagyka]

I have a friend like that. He does some rad sheet!

I really love the earlier manga artwork (like , I mean what would be pre-"S" I guess? That shit was stunning!) and it's definitely still good as it goes on, but ughhghghhgh.

Redheads gotta be bros ok! (I have, too! For me, VHS was reserved for Twin Peaks; sup slightly older murricans!)

[30thcenturyrabbit]

Why spend 200$ when I can spend 20 and look just as good?

I read it mostly out of obsession. The reprints cleaned up a lot of the weird art.

The rest of my VHSs were Super Mario cartoons and Sailor Moon.

[nagyka]

I am completely agreeing with you here as someone who likes to dress like she's rich (I am p addicted to Anthropologie) but refuses to pay retail or even 1/3 of retail if I can help it.

I haven't seen the reprints! I've been meaning to start reading new stuff since my love of comics is mostly down the drain these days.

I sold my SM VHS since apparently they were worth a pretty penny. DIC dubs were good for something!

[30thcenturyrabbit]

I shop at thrift stores and discount fabric districts. And outlets. We have a huge outlet mall where big stores sell off overstock at like 65% off.

I have a few volumes. The translations are phenomenally better and the awkward posing and stray marks are corrected.

Yeah they are. I've managed to hold on to my box set for years. I lost track of the Mario VHSs but recently bot the dvd sets. (Funny story: those shows were made by DiC)

[nagyka]

Ah, see, midwest we just have a lot of thrift stores. Not that I know how to sew, so it wouldn't make a difference! :x

That sounds nice, not having to read half of it with the English dub names.

Hrm, were they? Odd coincidence! The last thing I bought on DVD were the first two seasons of Adventures of Pete & Pete. I somewhat regret not going bootleg since I doubt s3 will ever be released.

[30thcenturyrabbit]

Thrift stores can be cosplay goldmines.

All original. They even use honorifics.

They were! I own the first series. Now I need to collect 3 and smw. So close to completing my collection.

That is sad.

[nagyka]

Holy crap, I'm in. Eventually. Too much media, too little time, too indecisive on where to start. :x

Are they all on DVD? Last I heard you had to bootleg them. (Which, I would rec ioffer.com for that stuff; it's where I go for all my awful rare horror film needs!)

[30thcenturyrabbit]

INORITE. my eternal problem.

They are and they are official and surprisingly cheap for a box set (I believe I paid $20 for the entirety of SMB Super Show). I haven't seen SMW yet, but I'm sure it's there somewhere. I saw SMB3 at the Japanese Bookstore. IDK why I didn't grab it right then and there, but I'm sure Amazon has it.

[nagyka]

Hot damn, that is a p good price. I was expecting at least twice that, since kid/tween/teen shows of yore tend to never be released in full, released only with a few episodes and then several DVDS/sets so while it seems cheap it ends up costing a buttload.

[30thcenturyrabbit]

Yeah, I remember those. 3 eps to a 15$ vhs. For these, they're surprisingly cheap. I was expecting to pay that much for a season, not the whole series. The SMB3 one I saw was 20$ too.

[buttonmasher]

Don't forget two eps for $20 (it costs more because it's subbed!!).

I guess I'll get on looking for those, but I think I might wait a bit. Christmas is around the corner and I can already foresee wanting to smash my head against a wall...

[30thcenturyrabbit]

OH YEAH. THAT TOO.

I'm greatly considering saying, "Mom, get me SMB3 boxset for xmas and this time don't get conned on eBay." Because after nearly 30 years, she still doesn't know what to get me for xmas.

[nagyka]

After nearly thirty years, I still get a sweater with glitter in it.

Every year I say I like things super-plain and pleasedeargodnofoilorglitterdoIeverwearthatohgod. Although one year I got some sweet Labyrinth swag and that makes up for all the ugly sweaters -- and I say this as someone who loves ugly sweaters.

[30thcenturyrabbit]

Haha oh my. That's as bad as the light-up christmas sweater I got one year. (I ended up donating it). I do like glitter but I'm not sure I would wear a glitter sweater unless it was really cool. (I did once have a sweater with tinsel woven into it. Now that was cool).

I constantly get kneesocks, which I love kneesocks, but I don't need 30 more pairs.

Ooo Labyrinth swag. That's a score.

My aim is satrugha by the way. hit me up any time. I practically live online.

[nagyka]

I would have bought the shit out of it 8( I generally like really plain clothing or SUPER HIPSTER DBAG CLOTHING. I'm a Free People/Anthropologie/Mod Cloth/etc. fan, okay.

For a while people were buying me the knee/toe socks. I loved it, but it still definitely felt like a throws hands up in the air and gives up!!! gift.

Mine is instructor fourteen as listed above! I'm not normally on AIM since even when I'm RPing, I regularly leave the computer to do other things. I am trying to be better about that!

[30thcenturyrabbit]

I like bright colors and all but the only thing i like to light up are glowsticks and xmas lights XD. I usually wear t-shirts and jeans. I'm an engineer. I dress like an engineer (though i have better hygiene than some of my kind.)

They purposely go out of their way to find the wildest socks possible, which I like because I can wear them under my dress pants at work and stay warm or under my boots.

haha. understandable. I work online, I play online, I like online. Except on weekends. I tend to disappear and go outside.
