Romantic Wonderland
Ok so yesterday, I almost wore jeans and a T-shirt to work.
EWWWWWWWWWWW.
But I ended up wearing something a little different, because I couldn't even find a T-shirt I liked.
I think this means I am in dire need of a serious wardrobe overhaul.
Another day, I was going through Ye Olde Greene Bynder (which predates the Black Binder of Magic, which holds all of my stories and characters). The Green Binder houses the leftovers that didn't make it into the Black Binder, which includes some of my childhood daydream stories, my first series (which almost predates my love for anime and manga), and a buttload of Spyrill+anime fanfics that I totally forgot I had written.
I wanted to tell you all about the characters in my first series, because it's loltastic, but I guess I'll have to wait for the weekend to come because I wanted to upload some pics with it.
I did want to note that while reading my poorly-written episodes, it became glaringly obvious how differently I approached story-writing back then, when it was just about getting ideas down on paper, vs. now when it goes through a mental filter of "how will the audience react?" before meeting the page.
Kitty Hotaru has gone through that filter countless times, which is why I can't settle on something to start illustrating. Daisuke and Ichigo's story has re-played in my head with more and more changes thanks to this mental filter, and I realized how boring it has become!!! In my old stories, totally bizarre things happen, and the characters are so unabashedly WEIRD.
More recently I was going through some things I wrote in my last spurt of creative energy several years ago. It was when Lareine was still active and I still loved Kamijo, and when I was good friends with a girl who shared my passion for Romanticism. It was when I was still going to community college, which was a good time for me self-wise/internally.
I wrote SO MUCH about princes and castles and faeries, in fairytale style and Lewis Carrol style. I was criticized politely in a creative writing class for writing with the same theme all the time, but that's the world I was living in at the time and I just wrote about it. I even wrote about my life in fairytale form. I found a fairytale that I hardly even remember writing!!!
I just read the first volume of Candy Candy FINALLY, before going through these old things, and the combination of them set off this wave of nostalgia for a Romantic Wonderland.
I don't know how to end this loaded post :/
