Still on the meme. Woulda made sense to just edit the post, but meh. From ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drazzi:
Blue Heelers~ This~ was an Aussie cop show set in a town in country Victoria. It ruled <3 Until the last... two~ seasons? I think? When it went a bit odd =/ The Boss's character just changed completely and it wasn't fun anymore =( And now it's finished, woe =(
Image Editing~ ...it's fun =D Mostly to make layouts and icons, even tho I don't do as much of that as I used to. I used to make a full layout set for tpyo every month. Damn I was insane =D
Yoshi's Island~ My FAVOURITE game on the Super Nintendo, and I still have the characters from it as my mood icons X3 Had Yoshi's Island layouts again until last week, too =D I dunno what it is about that game. I think it's the art style. All the other games at the time (namely Donkey Kong Country) were pushing the graphics boundaries and trying to go all 3D, but Yoshi's Island made the whole thing look like it'd been drawn with crayon. It just looked so cool X3 Also, I love Yoshi and have done since we first rented a Super Nintendo with Super Mario World waaaaay back when. It was super XD;
Icons~
One of... several Sallie-love icons XD Another in-joke that originated when we were in the aquarium in Blackpool (which probably had a name but I suck cos we went to SO MANY aquariums over there XD). We'd just come out of one of the tubey aquariums with sharks and stuff into this room that had JUST finished a presentation thingie with the words "you must beware the wroth of Zeus!" then some crappy flashing lights. There was a sign up saying it repeated every five minutes, and figuring we'd been wandering around Blackpool for long enough, we felt we deserved a rest for those five minutes, so used it as an excuse to sit down.
The room was kinda built like ancient Rome, with REALLY sucky seating (only half your arse would fit on the plastic-stone seats) and the head of Posiden's statue up the front *points at icon* So we waited for his speech, no idea what he was talking about, kinda tuned out until he went "BEWARE THE WROTH OF ZEUS!" at the end again and kinda... flicked the lightswitch on and off XD; It was pathetically crap <3
It wasn't until that night that the in-joke fully took form tho. We walked up the road with the illuminations (wonderfully tacky light displays), bought sugar in the forms of fairy floss and honeycomb at the end of the road, then walked back to the hotel, getting steadily more sugar-crazed as time went on. When we got back to the hotel room, we started flashing the light switch at each other going "WROTH OF ZEEUUUUUUUUUUS!" and coming up with the (frankly inspired) comeback of "I'll wroth YOUR Zeus!" "...What does that even MEAN?" and oh god it was brilliant XD If not for the sugar, I swear we woulda forgotten it, but we were flicking the light switch at each other for the rest of the time I was in England.
So yes, Zeus' wroth is a FLASHING LIGHT GLOBE. HEED POSIDEN'S WARNING AND FEAR THE WROTH OF ZEUS.
(Also, there's an attack in GuildWars, right at the beginning, called Symbol of Wrath. I SWEAR this is what absolutely sold me to that game XDDDD)
VASH~! <3 I love Vash. He's my favourite animé character of all time. There are so many completely contrasting sides to him, but they're all real. This is one of his more placid moments, when he's kinda... healing someone special to him, for want of a better explanation. It's my inspiration icon, cos it's all glowy and pretty, and at the time you have NO idea what he's doing. First hint that he's not quite human, from memory. I love Vash <3
And~ an insane moment XD 'Love and Peace' is one of his catch phrases, only when spoken by the Japanese voice actor, it of course comes out as 'Rub ando PEAS!' which ends up being a running joke of anyone who's seen the series. He's an idiot *^^*
