I've seen Hellsing Ultimate I think 2 or 3 times. I've rewatched Yu-Gi-Oh! two times at least. At least the first 2 seasons. Plan on rewatching Ayashi no Ceras sometime. 

Steven Universe. Fanbase is garbage, but the show is amazing. Though I'm not caught up on everything ;-; 

I don't really have a preference and usually go based on whose voices are more tolerable. Sometimes dubbed anime has the worst voice actors, even if they are in English, and while it probably sounds kinda prude, I can't stand listening to horrible voice acting. I have to feel the emotions. Sometimes subbed anime has bad voice acting or over the top and I can't stand it. Just all depends on the quality (also how poorly translated the subtitles are because I remember one AoT episode I watched subbed that was awful). 

My first anime was either Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon (most likely this one), or Dragonball Z. All of those were gateways for me and I loved them all. Didn't get super into DBZ until later in life, but I was obsessed for years with Yu-Gi-Oh! (and Seto Kaiba shhh >u>). 

Definitely a tie between Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (Diamond is Unbreakable and Battle Tendency) and Mahoutsukai no Yome. Mahoutsukai is so freaking cute aaa. ;u; Plus it has like a magician with a skull head and I'm a sucker for things like that. Anything having to do with demons and stuff, I eat up for whatever reason. And it's such a cute romance story aaa. But Battle Tendency... hmu Joseph Joestar. And Josuke Higashikata. (why yes i do read jojo for the "plot")

Nintendo's game quality hasn't really changed. You have to remember that a lot of their games are targetted towards children, so while we grow up, the games... don't. The difficulty doesn't change. The mechanics don't change, and after playing through them several times, we have everything memorized. But hand the controller to a seven year old, and depending on his skills, he may be just as stumped as we were. 

I love Nintendo. I grew up on them. My first console was a Gamecube (though I was born when the N64 was still popular). My first real Nintendo game was the Zelda collection. We played Zelda games until we were sick of losing because they were so difficult for us. Pokemon is my favorite franchise from them, with TLoZ being next. But, I think their formulas are always the same, and while I agree because they're known for said formulas, why should they change them, but there needs to be change. 

They need to bring back series (*coughF-Zero because I'm totally not biasedcough*), and all the remakes they make are just easy money grabs because everyone will eat up their childhood nostalgic game made in modern graphics (guilty as charged with Majora's Mask). We're in an era of remakes anyway. Everywhere you turn everyone is remaking games and movies. Really, I'd say it's not a lack of talent or ideas, but more of people are afraid to deviate from the norm. People got rich from a certain method; why change the method? Why fix what ain't broke? 

But Nintendo's failure really comes from lack of advertising. I know from a lot of articles I read and people I follow on Facebook and stuff that Nintendo is wanting to go digital and they're most definitely neglecting their advertising. It's so rare for me to see Nintendo commercials that when I do see them, I get so excited and nostalgic that I scream in excitement. 

And with how popular Mario and Zelda and Pokemon are, can you blame them for not wanting to deterring to creating new things but instead rehash and ship out a new Mario world or Pokemon game? People are afraid to change because the general public fears change. Think about how many people hate the new Pokemon. And the games that did try and deviate (Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion) were met with a lot of hostility (seriously. I love Luigi's Mansion, but a lot of people didn't like it for it's time for whatever reason).

I think the whole industry is all messed up honestly and it isn't just Nintendo. Think about how quickly they remade The Last of Us as an excuse to port it to the new consoles and have everyone eat it up. That game wasn't even that old and was still relatively fresh. Gears of War remakes. Halo remakes (though the first two kinda can get away with that). And rehashing the same things over and over, the same methods, the same formulas... everything is a mess. 

Sorry for going on this rant omg. I didn't mean for it to get this long.
But tl;dr: Nintendo is good, yes, but they're making mistakes everyone else is making aside from advertising and need to get themselves together on that part gosh.

The first game to come to mind that I've personally played is Xenosaga III. That was the first video game I ever played I truly felt was sad. I had grown a deep attachment to KOS-MOS and the rest of the cast (mainly KOS-MOS because I was basically in love with her shhh >u>) and the ending basically just... destroyed me from the inside. Not gonna spoil anything, but it's definitely a series worth checking out. Plus, when I'm in love with a game, I get super attached and emotional so when it all blew up I was just like "why is this happening to my babies QnQ!?!" 

I'd also list P3, but I've only heard how sad it is; I sadly haven't beaten mine yet. Shhhh. 

I'm a big baby when it comes to all horror games, so while I own the first FNAF, I've never played it all the way through. I enjoy the series (guilty of being Markiplier trash and watched him play through them all whoops) and loved the story, but I mean... it's fairly overrated. Hot Topic sells FNAF series shirts. Every trend to ever exist goes to Hot Topic to die basically, so if it's there, it's overrated imo.

I'm very sorry to hear all of that. :/ When you're a leader or "in a position of power," people tend to nitpick at everything you do. Think about politics and how world leaders are combed over meticulously for errors and have flaws thrown in their face. I think society just expects every leader to be the textbook I-can-handle-it-all Viking warrior I-feel-nothing type leader, even for small things. And even when people aren't placing enormous amounts of "wow you're flawed" in your face, they're still relying on you and looking to you. I'm not sure what you're a leader of, but at least you can say you were chosen to be one, which most people can't. It's hard to look on the bright side of things when you're so depressed, I know, but try to stay positive. Two more weeks and it's over and you can breathe.  

I'm one of the older crowd, too, but instead of handing out candy (though I'll probably help my mom do that too), my boyfriend plans to stream horror games through steam and I'm gonna watch him play. It's gonna be hecka fun and I can't wait. Since there was a sale on some pretty good ones, I helped him pick out some and I know we're playing through Binding of Isaac dlc, Rake, and a few others. I will probably play through amnesia until I get too afraid and have to turn it off lol (i'm a big baby). 

I plan on dressing up too, so it's kinda an internet private Halloween party. It's gonna be a blast.

Awh thank you! Once I open up and become comfortable, I begin to feel better about myself and start opening up a little. So the fact I'm comfortable enough to share is a good thing! ^-^ 

Tama10 :  

Thank you as well! And I am enjoying my time quite a bit. It's fun and very welcoming. c:

I seriously needed to hear this because I was beginning to think I wasn't justified in trying to get out. My boyfriend and I have worked out a way where I can stay with him half of November through half of January if I need to. Thank you.

She swears he loves us and wants us here, but the way he treats us sometimes makes us think otherwise. My sister and I had a discussion about that this morning around 2 am since she had to get up for a State competition (she's in band) and I was awake. She wants me to leave because she knows I hate it here. Even my mom agreed that I hated it here. I'm like a prisoner here, and whatever my stepdad says, she goes along with and doesn't overrule. We got into a fight just a few moments ago and he threatened to "get someone to take me out of here permanently," which basically meant calling the police when I had done nothing except express how much I hated it here and how it wasn't fair they blamed things on me when I done nothing, and all she did was roll her eyes. She disagreed but said nothing (also worth noting I think it has to do with religion because of the "man over the household" and they're super religious and she is especially since marrying him). She can't really be herself around him and just parrots what he says. And then he parrots what she says. .-. Everything is a mess. 

linklink : While I agree he's a good person (for a multitude of reasons), I have to disagree that specifically his dislike of tattoos makes him a good person. Personal preference doesn't always equal good moral standing. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And there's always nothing wrong with natural beauty. People with or without tattoos are gorgeous in their own ways--whether you choose to keep your personal canvas blank or to add colors and lines, everyone's is beautiful.

I am pretty sure that my boyfriend would love to let me stay with him, but he currently lives in a dorm. We planned to move in together this upcoming summer (I was going to visit him on the last day of May/first day of June anyway before I suggested securing a job and moving up there). It wasn't until someone said I should wait and get an apartment here because no one knows what will happen and I don't wanna be stuck in an environment that I began reconsidering, but after what happened tonight, I'm pretty sure boyfriend is best bet unless I can find friends who wanna roommate. 

A lot of the homelife is basically trying to sabotage my relationship. I recently visited him for the first time and everyone seems to think I'm awful for it, and yet I'd never been happier. I would have stayed if not for the fact we had little money for food and he lived in a dorm with a roommate.

After that, I had to move back into my mom and stepdad's house, and tonight I was blamed for something there was no possible way I could do. We aren't allowed to burn incense in the house, and I owned it before. But before coming home, I gave it to my friend who loved incense, not to mention my burner was essentially confiscated and thrown away. But my stepdad somehow managed to find a stick? And they blamed it on me? How is it even possible for me to burn incense when I have none and no burner? All I've done since being home is eat the food I bought for myself and sleep, and yet I somehow manage to still do something wrong? That wasn't even my fault to begin with because it was impossible for me to do so? Not to mention I gave my friend my matches too, and the only people who own lighters are my stepdad and mom. 

It's utter and complete crap, and I just need to get away as soon as possible. I feel unwelcomed here by my stepdad especially, and my sister and I both agree he wants none of us (my mom's) here. It's pretty blatantly obvious. I just need to get out asap and am willing to do so no matter what the cost. Hell, I'd live in my boyfriend's dorm under his bed and eat his horrible Ramen if it meant getting away. 

Ugh, there was so much to vent about sorry. x.x I'm just so angry right now. 

I'm extremely close with my brother and sister. I feel like I can tell them anything and everything, especially my brother. My dad and I used to be close, and so did my mom and I. Then things started going downhill, and now everything is rocky. The closest person I have in my life rn is my boyfriend, who I consider family essentially. Not close with any aunts and uncles, but when my grandmother (dad's mom) was alive, we were extremely close and I thought of her as a second mom. 

I had something kinda similar happen when I was a kid. My mom's parents live about an hour away from where we live (and especially where we used to live), so the drives up there as a child were long and tedious. I had to use the bathroom during one trip and we were in the middle of the road with nowhere to really go, so my mom pulled behind a church and let me go there (cause just had to pee). before I was finished, she pulled off and acted as though she was leaving me behind. It was more of a prank than a punishment, but it was still horrible. She apologises to me every time it's brought up. Point is, whether it's the threaten of abandonment or being put in the dark forever, it's still pretty messed up someone would do that to their kids. 

I know it's not healthy, but I actually have an ability to shut off emotion at times of crisis, then process them later. For example, my grandmother passed away last year in September. I didn't process her death until late February, which is when my depression became horrible. I can literally wake up one morning and feel nothing about a situation. It's bizarre, and I'm not even sure how I do it. Pretty sure it's a built-in coping mechanism I picked up along the way. 

As for hiding in emotion and only displaying happiness, I think that's quite common. For whatever reason, society frowns on you for being depressed or sad. We must never stop being happy; that burdens the rest of people. And god forbid we make sadness seem like a GOOD thing to have. It sucks when there's pressure on you to hold everything in. Maybe you should talk to someone about how you're feeling. I'd say a therapist, but maybe try opening to a friend. Someone you are close to. That could induce emotion. It's not healthy, despite what everyone seems to think, to always feel happy. Sadness is a good thing. Depression is a good thing (in mildness and definitely not to the point where you cannot function. seek help if that's the case). It means we're alive (not to get all poetic and stuff up in here, but seriously. It's okay.) 

I think tattoos on both men and women are incredibly hot. I used to want a man with tattoos and facial piercings (mainly snake bites). 
I personally want tattoos. I have several in mind that are personal to me and two of which I would share with my siblings. Definitely want wings on my back to emphasize my freedom and a Triforce tattoo with my siblings (we each get a piece that best represents us.) And a few others, like names and symbols. 
Current boyfriend has no tattoos and isn't a fan of them . But he doesn't mind if I get tattoos and that's all that matters to me is he respects my decision and I respect his. 

So, recently I've been having some home trouble and I tried moving out to live with a friend, but that didn't work out and had to move back. Right now, I'm in a tight situation, and was wondering how I need to go about leaving home? I don't own a vehicle and don't live in an area where public transportation is common. I don't have a job either, but I plan on getting one and have several friends willing to help me out. It's been suggested I get an apartment with roommates, and because I know one of my friends for sure wants to leave home, I'm thinking that's a possible idea. But the fact is, I need to get out as quickly as possible because of feelings, mainly due to my stepdad. I'm pretty sure he tried blaming something on me to make me seem like the horrible guy, and I haven't even been home a week lmao. this was more of a venting post, but if any of you have suggestions on what to do or look for, that would be great. At this point, I'd be willing to just live in a cardboard box because the life at home is so stressful and awful x.x. I would move in with my boyfriend, but he lives in Indiana and I'm stuck in Tennessee. We have a plan to move in together, but we can't execute it for another year, and at the rate of how home life is going, it's gonna have to be pretty soon. Sorry about the venting. Just needed to get it all out.

I guess it's just hard for me to explain in a few words. Plus, I dunno, I'm slightly embarrassed about the themes I guess. Not entirely sure why. I just am. It's all hard to explain. And it's going to be about 9 books in total -- 3 parts with 3 books in each. So quite a bit of content... haha... x.x.
