☂ oh baby you so fine;
YOU SO FINE YOU BLOW MY MIND. ♥ 'sup kurocha, fellow Singaporean, welcome to my journal after our bout of being fags over PreciousMetalShipping and other things. HOHOHO. I'm Nerrin, I need a life, I write pokemon fic at canalave and stuff.
★ I had a dream about GAY TRAINS. You know, that ~Miracle Train~ thing OH GOD SELF WHAT THE SHIT? no srsly WHAT THE SHIT?
( I am amazed at myself. )

Ever thought of writing these down and putting them into a book somehow? IDK maybe the one with all of the gods and somehow make all of these weird ass dreams mean something or somehow oddly foreshadow stuff?
Like this one. They go to a new town, run into some lesser known Norse gods (because Scandinavia included Sweden way back when) and EXPLOSIONS HAPPEN because Loki is being a douche, and Odin gets his head knocked, revealing him of his amnesia, and he goes, "WTF I'M A GIRL WHY?" but finds out that for some reason, he has to be a girl, which ties into Tsukishima being able to turn into a girl, and in their battle with the Greek gods after they resolve their fight with the other Norse gods, Arachne helps them out to get back at Athena for turning her into a spider.
(Speaking of such, I just remembered this other book: "Tempting Fate," by Esther Friesner, which focuses mainly on Greek myths, but has others here and there; it's a really good fiction where the gods enlist teenagers to help them do stuff because they're lame like that, and it's the modern world so why not? XD)

my dreams would kill the world
oh, but they make for good inspiration for my Nanowrimo 8D
by the way, are you attempting Nano this year?
Also. What. SERIOUSLY? /bookmarks
I have a series on Norse Gods, a series on Christianity, and FFFF. I'm getting all ridiculously excited about making my own Greek Mythology-based series now ♥

and it would be a very much welcomed death
Haha, indeed they do. And I don't know. I only completed it once, back in ninth grade, and that's when I told my teacher about it and he said, "Well, you have the highest grade anyways and I don't see you dropping even a point, so, okay. Feel free to BS everything. I think you've turned in all of the assignments for the next few weeks already anyways..." I guess that I just need to find an idea I can totally go OMG WRITE WRITE WRITE HAHAHA YESS~!
AND YES. SERIOUSLY.
I found it one day on a search for more information about Japanese myths and monsters aside from the usual stuff that you read and can find anywhere. I mean, even their superstitions are cooler than ours, and they tried to get rid of them at one point in between the 1920s & 60s, but a lot of them still prevailed while minor ones that were ignored totally came out on top and thrived. XD
And really? :DDDDD CANNOT WAIT.
An idea for Greek mythology has been kind of floating in my head for a while:
1. Everyone is reincarnated on earth as humans due to Christianity totally kicking them out of their home
2. God is personally going, "WTF, this is not what was supposed to happen... what happened to that command, hey, I'm the top guy, but don't forget about all of the other guys who help keep the universe in check? You think I do this all on my own here?"
3. No one really remembers much about their past lives as gods/goddesses except for Athena (who is super cool that way) but she knows better than to speak about it because the Fates, who escaped reincarnation and know all about stuff told her not to, Hera (because no one can forget hundreds of years of being cheated on, though she only had partial memories and is currently making Zeus pay for it indirectly, though he remembers none of it), and Hades, who has some suspicions and such, but really doesn't act on it or try to find stuff out, preferring not to screw up his not-so-happy life.
4. Because she can't talk about it, let alone meddle with things, Athena has decided to just kind of become a guardian angel and nudge her fellow gods into the right direction here and there, and upon searching for everyone, has discovered that Persephone is missing. Her reaction is basically, "Shit."
5. World is starting to go screwy environmentally, and long story short, as people are scrambling around and the gods are reclaiming their memories and powers and are wondering what the hell is going on, we discover that Demeter has reclaimed her memories, kidnapped Persephone, and is determined to not lose her to Hades this time, and this is making the cosmic balance of seasons go haywire, and little does she know that Persephone has already met Hades at school in their art class, and she is starting to fall in love with him (and visa versa) anyways. When she finds out, shit hits the fan, Hades remembers everything completely when Persephone comes to him because she's found out that her "mother" kidnapped her when she was a child, and thus begins a battle to set things right once more, kind of like Romeo and Juliet, except no one is suicidal.
6. Eventually, Demeter gets put into her place, things are restored and they become gods once more, and God goes, "Okay. Now, there's a lot of paper work that needs to be done. Here you go."
7. Of course, this is set in a high school setting, so there is a lot more drama and events than that.
Haha, that turned out to be a lot more complex than what was floating in my head......

good lord I don't even know what to say THAT'S JUST COOL
I've alresdy told you about my Nordic one with a splash of Greek in it, but my Christianity one seems to completely challenge the current belief we now have of the religion. :l
You know all the blahblah GOD blahblah JESUS thing they have going on? Well, God's not a kid born form an egg at the start of time or just some dude who's randomly there. It works like a heirachy - the top angel, the best and wisest, is chosen to take on the persona of 'God' and then because angels don't give birth, they pick a successor who will take on the role of 'Jesus', the nest in line, 'The Child of God', so to speak. This angel chosen to be 'Jesus' has to go down to earth, and like the first Jesus (as depicted in the Bible), has to live out, and replay the events in the book, in his own way. Like a special, individual retelling of the scripture. Collect the 12 disciples, blahdedah and all that. And this century's 'Jesus' has been chosen because the current God wishes to retire, and his heir needs to go on this 'Coming of Age Journey' on earth like all those 'God's before him, so as the glean the wisdom required to lead in his stead.
And then on the other hand, there's Satan, the "big bad". He also needs someone to take over his throne to reign o'er Hell. And he has a ton of sons, but he has his eyes on the first five. First is the most powerful, but too harsh. Second is too lazy and disinterested. Three, he doesn't really know much of because of mom-issues. Four is in-between, and is the peacemaker type. Five is too selfish. He picks Three, and this poor Son of Satan has to go to earth, and bring back with him five others down to Hell. These five have to beat some "players" selected by Satan himself in a tournament-style team battle. Best of five, one VS one. If Three's team wins, overall, he takes over the throne. If his team fails, that's it, all of them have to be killed. It's quite a cruel all-or-nothing picking.
And then normally, the sons of Heaven and Hell go on their journeys in different times, but now their journeys just happen to coincide. Three goes to earth and crashes with the Head of the Vampire Division in Europe. The Holy Spirit [read: never-aging personal advisor of God since the original God] is sent down with 'Jesus'. To make things worse something went wrong with the passage down from Heaven. Now the new God is on earth, without his memories of who the hell he is and what he can really do. And the best part? He lands right on the doorstep of the Vampire Div. Head and the Son of Satan's shared housing. :lb
LONG AND TL:DR, SORRY. D:

Just so you know, I love any and all stories that play with religion, as one of my religious education teachers once told me that while it was important to believe in some major important things that are the basics of our religion, everything is open for interpretation. Like, science and religion. Who knows if when God said, "Let there be light," it was actually code for, "Okay, matter and everything else, start doing your stuff. I got all the time in the world, so you can take a few trillion years to do it if you need to, like idk evolution?"
And then there is this whole thing about Lucifer and Satan. If you go back into the original Hebrew texts and mythology, not to mention all sorts of other stuff, including how "Satan" and "Lucifer" are mentioned separately and it wasn't until later that they were seen as one entity. So, what I am thinking is that Satan is the whole incarnation of evil and Lucifer is just the guy who broke some rules and got a bad reputation. I once read this story by Anne McCaffrey, and in her story, his first name was Prometheus, and bringing fire to humans was what got him kicked out of Heaven, because God was kind of wrathful like Zeus back then.
I mean, doing some research and stuff, I've found out that according to the Mesopotamians and lots of other people from that region, Baal was originally a god of the harvest who fought some pretty evil gods and entities, but was later seen as evil, due to having to go to the underworld and fight his archenemy, which was their "season changing" myth, because when he did, the crops started dying and things got colder. Of course, the bulk of this modern view is due to their beliefs and practices making the Hebrews who moved in go "DDDDD: SDFJASJKL;ASD" and totally overreact. Even the name "Beelzebub", or "lord of the flies" is a lost in translation/overreaction to someone else's religion, because the world was originally "Baal-zebub" which was "lord Baal" in Canaanite.
ACK. TL;DR SORRY.
Your idea sounds so amazingly cool like whoa~! I want to read it. Will you be posting it up here? If not, what can I do to convince you to? Will you will you will you pleeeeeeeeeeeeease? *begs*
All of your characters sound wonderful~ especially the vampire part. Talk about mixed genres! Of course, in the old, original stuff, vampire stories and conflicts with religion go hand in hand. :D
Jesus and Satan sharing a dorm room is such an awesome idea, and I am wondering why no one else has thought of it yet, but also think that if someone had, they'd be pwned by yours.

Religin's a complicated matter, and sometimes the Gods can be just so...stupid, but hey, that's what we love about them. Well, mostly, because Christianity gets VERY little love from me - if anything, I like my modernized version better, because the actual thing's kind of...stuck up.
I mean, the Greeks were human in every right. Humans with wonky powers, but they had their ups and downs and stupid gossip-column esque disputes. The Norse Gods are mortal, and they know that they'll all die one day, and at the same time they're like the Greeks, too - selfish, proud, kind, bitter, suspicious, narrow-minded, funny, brave, and all that. But Christianity is presented like some sort of wooden block in comparison; it's just so boring.
When you say 'Beelzebub' all I can think of is the MANGA, ahaha. /fail
I actually have a community to document it. :lb novherl. Currently empy because I'm still figuring out the works, and all the characters are connected to each other. Son Three's actually the work pick if you want an evil overlord, he's the nicest and most human of the lot.
Vampire's there as Three's 'assistant', except she doesn't do that job as well as she should. Kind of like the big mama of the bunch, really. xD
Well, there's Saint Young Men but that's Jesus and Buddha. Still VERY funny, though. And it's not just dorm-sharing; they have to journey together across the world, fight alongside each other, and holy crap this means a whole new revolution for the religion if the two learn how to cooperate and then take over their respective positions.

And yeeeeeeah. Christianity is so serious. I don't get it half the time why people are so anal about it, and I was raised Catholic, and did the whole confirmation pick a patron saint lols out of like 600 kids only me and one other girl chose a male patron saint unlike others who stuck to their gender shebang. SO BORING. But some of the stories of God smiting people int the Old Testament was kind of cool.
AND I SHALL BE WATCHING THAT COMMUNITY NOW. Ask me to make a layout for you; I'm in a coding mood.
And we get to have a nice, evil overlord? Awwww~! Totally would not mind him ruling the world then. Or, if the two fell in love, discovered who/what they really were and then went, "Hey, wanna just rule together? Okay sure." NEW WORLD ORDERS RULE.
And I need to find that manga........

I know, some stories are cooler than some but most of it is like "blah blah kami blah atarashii sekai blah!"
MAKE A LAYOUT FOR ME??? 8D
YES HE'S A REALLY NICE GUY ♥ but lmfao the thing is the supposed 'good guy' has no idea who he is, the supposed 'bad guy' knows that he's the third Son of Satan AND that the random dude is his mortal enemy and it's almost a natural rift already; part of the whole tale's theme is how despite everyone's conflicts and differences, people, not just the rulers, are able to join forces and become friends as a mutual thing. I like creating weird shit, sorry. D:
It's on Onemanga, if you're wondering xD

And yeah. Wish though, that there was a way to prove some things like the whole "we're descended from gods" thing because even if they turn out to not be gods, but like for the Japanese, a kickass woman from THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, it would still be awesome. Because their monarchy (though it's a constitutional one) is the oldest still standing. It beats England.
AND YESSSS! 8DDD
Just tell me what colors you want, if you want for the default user pic to show, if you want the links in the sidebar to be horizontal or vertical, and your font preferences. I'll go from there and either one of us can make changes afterwards.

I love "despite everything"'s in story plots. Your stories are just wonderful and I cannot wait until you spam us with it.
& thanks!

and yeah, I want the default pic to show. Links horizontal. Font preferences, not much. Just go with what you think is right; I trust you. (:
HAHAHA it's like I love writing stories where people come to love and trust each other and start to really care and be willing to stick their necks out for these friends whom they weren't even willing to help pick up in the first place.
Sort of like how character-planning's going in my Greek/Nordic OC story. Ares, the Greek God of War, is currently my favorite from the Greek sector because he's a jerk with a heart of gold that enjoys ragging on people. Especially the Apollo in my story, whose twin sis Artemis is really protective of in this area because she hates Ares. These three disagree in everything they do, even their modes of fighting:
Ares wields a double-headed battleaxe normally [see: Hetalia's Denmark] but he's able to turn anything into an object capable of causing death, which goes against Artemis' personal policies - that's dirty tricks, not honorable at all. Artemis herself is a gunfighter with a dead-accurate aim and two handguns. Apollo is the 'can't catch up' one of the trio - it's like the seal on his powers isn't fully off yet; he can't do much at first but he's actually capable of manipulating fire to a very extensive degree. Tosses [explosive] fireballs like they're nothing eventually. He's not a CQC person, which rubs against Ares' "real men fight with fists/in close combat with proper weapons" belief-thing.
You'd better get ready for the shitstorm of a lifetime when I sort out the plot for BOTH stories lmao ♥

Haha, okay then. I shall have something started before I go to work then, if not completed, and if not, then by this evening. Look forward to it! >DDD
I really can't wait for it now. <3

The thing with my story is that I'm trying to keep relationships as neutral as possible, but I can't help canonizing a lot of things because - dude, I've shipped them as GODS. Like Ares/Apollo, which I ship. Like mad. And Poseidon/Hades. I'm going straight to hell for this, of course. 8D
/needs to make a comm for this series, wtf
And I LOVE the layout, it's perfect ♥

LOLS. I meant that you kept their personalities kind of the same as they are in the original stuff. Like Aries; kinda likes to fight no matter what and has no problem with fighting dirty or improvisation, while Artemis is a total honor-bound prude who does not take shit from anyone. And Apollo, while he does excel in some things, kinda... fails at times. Like in Troy. Totally kept switching back and forth on the sides because he liked this princess but she didn't so he liked another and blaaaaah...~
And Poseidon/Hades?
*thinks about it for a second....*
...
*NOSEBLEED*
Here's the CSS in the next comment, because I might reach the character limit here. Just make sure that it's flexible squares, no on all of the drop down option things, and on the sidebar, it says "yes" on showing the default user pic. Also, for the display things, change all of the colors to #060606 so it blends somewhat.
Okay, um. Email? Or you could just go to the link I showed you, press CTRL+U if you're in Firefox and then copy & paste the stuff....
Not even 2,000 characters, WTF.

This is why I like Greek & Nordic Mythology - a multicolored cast of characters that EVERYONE can find at least one to identify with. (:
PFFFFT in this canon Zeus is just a smartass who's too much of a dick for his own good. Enjoys knowing that he has the upper hand and LOVES teasing his two other 'brothers', especially Poseidon because Poseidon flies into a rage very easily as compared to the rather tame and neutral Hades.
I'll switch the broswer to Firefox now so I can get the code ~
