• Canon Ship:
• "If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
• "You are one sick puppy" Ship:
• "I dabble a little" Ship:
• "It's like a car crash" Ship:
• "Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
• "Makes no canon sense but why the heck not" Ship:
• "Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it

FANDOMS
Naruto
Dark Tower
Supernatural
Lost
X/Tokyo Babylon
Sailor Moon
Kingdom Hearts
Tsubasa/XXXholic

(If you can think of a fandom I have that you REALLY wanna know past those, I can try, they just seem like the most...ship heavy ones)

This and the other meme will be replied to when I get some work done.

I caught up on buying a bunch of comics at Starfest. I got the Rising Son variant cover one (Which is "John Winchester is covered in bitches"), about 10 Dark Tower comics (None of the complete runs though. I ALMOST have all of The Fall of Gilead, but I'm missing 5 of 6, and the one I found was $20. And the guy was willing to give me 40% off, but....that's still over $10 for one issue), and most of all of Umbrella Academy, which Alex had given me volume 1 of forever ago. And part of an Angel (X-men not Buddy) series that had awesome art. All for like...$15

Being around all the comic stuff was a bit hard cause of all the memories, and missing Alex, but mostly kept it together.

I also spent too much on the bits of Supernatural merchandise I could find.

And our costumes generally rocked, although if anyone recognized us in our Supernatural one they didn't say anything. Some guy was like "AWESOME!" to Lucifer, but we weren't sure if that was cause she looked cool or cause she was Lucifer. We also cracked up a lot when, at lunch, Sarah (Who was Castiel) was scarfing hamburgers all over.

We also decided next time we were just going to straight up be girly versions. Cause none of us looked masculine at all. At all. And then at least we can look sexy. And we're gonna make Bev be girly!Ash. Next year I know they're trying to get Misha Collins to come.

And possibly at Mile High con but were gonna be girly!Gunslingers (Me and Ju are sorta gonna aim for being Roland and Bert, but generally we're just gonna be hot, sorta steam punky-y cowgirls) And were gonna do at some point Oceanic Stewardesses. Like sexy 60's stewardesses.

And we went to I didn't get to a ton of panels. Garette Wang was hilarious. Summer Glau was sweet, but didn't catch my attention. The Buffy Sing along BLEW because the people running also decided to get in front of the screen. And act it out. Badly.

And I got to hang out with all my lovely girls. We were all like...a perfect personality mix in the hotel room. Even the little bits of drama were dealt with...quickly and easily. I'm still kinda getting use to the idea that something going wrong at a convention doesn't mean a 3 hour screaming match. And I saw a ton of people I adore at the con.

It was just, generally, a really good con.

Taking a break from study exile:

So youtube removed all those 'Hitler throws a fit about _____' videos

And I have no issues with the company wanting them taken down (Although I think it's cool youtube has a program that the original companies can make money off of videos made with their shit), and that meme is pretty much only amusing the first time you see it, BUT:

Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said the league was "delighted."
"We find them offensive," said Foxman of the videos. "We feel that they trivialize not only the Holocaust but World War II. Hitler is not a cartoon character."


Ok. They were making fun of Hitler. The bad guy. Th person who SHOULD be ripped down and debases and made fun of. They were trivializing him, and taking away his power.

I don't think, anyway you slice it, you can say those people were mocking the victims of the Holocaust. They were bringing down the person who DID that.

In fact, the directors quote sums it up nicely:

"The point of the film was to kick these terrible people off the throne that made them demons, making them real and their actions into reality," Hirschbiegel told the magazine. "I think it's only fair if now it's taken as part of our history and used for whatever purposes people like. If only I got royalties for it, then I'd be even happier.

Like...making mocking Hitler a bad thing just...does not computer. Hitler should be mocked, should be torn down and debased. By saying that saying bad things about HIM is bad, you are giving him WAY too much power. I'm sorry, Hitler's not the poor picked on kid in elementary school you should defend. And I know they were TRYING to say you should trivialize ANYTHING about WW2, but I'm sorry...Hitler is someone who should not be respect, should not be free of bad energy. The last line I'm just like....what.

There's a REASON propaganda made him into a joke...a person who is a joke has no power. this is not something to be feared.
