YOU GUYS I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE! :D

In other animation news, The Clone Wars has a rating of 18% on Rotten Tomatoes and placed third in the box office on it's opening weekend. Hahaha, I should feel bad cause I'm a Star Wars fan. But I don't. Trying to milk me for money with something we've pretty much already seen in an era I've lost all interest in -- plus making the Expanded Universe more of a place to LOL WHAT? HAHAH at than it has ever been (which is really hard to do) -- I think on my FAVORITE FANDOM LIST OF FANDOMY THINGS, Star Wars has moved down a couple places.

You know, cause it needs to make room for real stories and storytellers taking place in eras and times I give a shit about with characters I actually like who don't die for really lame and lazy reasons (redemption for a family member? what the hell is that? EVEN THOUGH FOR VADER IT WAS PERFECTLY ALRIGHT). Fandoms like Bioshock (2 and movie, WHAT), Silent Hill (Silent Hill: Homecoming!) and Stephen King (Just Past Sunset and Under the Dome!). Oh man, but Stover still owns it. He's like holding Star Wars up by himself on the fandom list here. That's a big pile of crap to hold up too.

I mean, Star Wars was on one of the movie channels a couple weeks ago and I was like, "UGH, HAN AND LEIA YOU GUYS EFFING SUCK IT. MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE PARENTING CLASSES OR SOMETHING. OH GOD THERE GOES BOBA FETT INTO THE SARLACC PIT WHERE HE REALLY SHOULD'VE DIED." So yeah, thanks LotF for doing that to one of my favorite movies. :(

That's not to say I completely disown it though. I mean, there are still things I like. Tenel Ka, Zekk, Kyle Katarn, Kyp, Lando, Republic Commando (the game), Knights of the Old Republic, Battlefront, Dark Forces, The Outlander Club (I would spend all my time in there), Hapes, Nar Shaddaa, Coruscant, Dathomir, Luke Skywalker (in the movies), Chew-effing-bacca, Nightsisters, Traitor, Star by Star, the Strike Team, Darth Caedus (kind of, I guess), Allana, that chapter of The Joiner King, Tenel Ka's arm, Taryn and Trista Zel -- and of course Jacen Solo, when he was still a make-sense type of character. Also, Jacen Solo in a skirt (Vector Prime). Not to be confused with Questionably Clothes-less Jacen Solo (Traitor) and Vong Robeskin + Amphistaffs Jacen Solo (also Traitor -- come on, Stover knows where it's at).

See, there are things I still like. But this post-LotF stuff and all this Clone Wars crap just has me = "WAIT, THERE'S NEW STAR WARS NEWS? I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION, SORRY."


P.S. HEY. PERSONA 4. DECEMBER 9TH. MAKING GLASSES SEXIER THEN THEY ALREADY ARE! :D

The glasses, given by Kuma, play an important role in the game, and allow the party to see through the heavy mist inside Mayonaka TV and decrease stamina loss. Apparently Kuma himself does not need a pair. The pistol-like Evokers of Persona 3 are replaced by tarot cards, which the main characters shatter in order to summon their respective Personas.

I kind of think the glasses are sexier than the evokers. I guess they look sexier than shooting yourself in the head. XDDDD (ksjdklafjskjd JFKKSDFJFKJ YOSUKE HANAMURA'S GLASSES~) Also, Yosuke Hanamura is totally following in the footsteps of Chris/Reiji, Eikichi, Heat, Narumi and Junpei. SEXY.

Haha, another tangent to my P.S., in Digital Devil Saga -- I am in Manipura. I forgot how much I love the music in this game, and I also forget that Jinana's Atma is on her ass. So every time they cut to her ass I'm like, "WHAT? ASS IN MY FACE? ... oh yeah." (AND OH MAN I FORGOT HOW HOT BAT IS.)

I kind of want a small Atma tattoo (I like Heat's and Argilla's). Or a Bioshock tattoo (omg like one of THESE! :D). Nothing huge and obvious, but it might be fun. And it's not like scratching a name or something on your skin that will be like, "EW WHY DOES IT SAY THIS ON ME?" in the future.


P.S.S. I DIDN'T KNOW MICHAEL PHELPS WAS THE MERMAN IN ANNIE LEIBOVITZ'S LITTLE MERMAID/JULIANNE MOORE SHOT! HE IS REALLY PART FISH, FOR REAL. D:

LOL SUP BITCHES.




ALSO:


SEE, MY JACEN SOLO NEVER STOPS CHEESIN' -- CANON, WHY DON'T YOU LEARN SOMETHING FROM ME?

(Apparently, my Jacen also goes to the beach in a suit jacket. That dumbass.)

Alright, time to stop wasting time here and work on costumes. Hehe~

So now along with the cat bills that are still on my credit card (significantly lower than a couple months ago, but still there), now my car is being a punk and I have to get at least $700 worth of work done on that. More if certain parts don't cooperate while they're fixing it. So I have a feeling that once I get back from D*C I will be making lots of stuff (more than usual) for the shop of doom and putting lots of junk on ebay.

I DO NOT LIKE BEING IN CREDIT CARD DEBT. :|

Aaaaaaand I might or might not have started work on a Zekk fanmix. It's somewhere between The Everafter and HEY! A Jacen Solo Musical. Meaning I'm not getting all serious and going for passages and quotes and stuff, but I'm also not making it as cracktastical as the latter. But it's very angry and dirty so far. Also, it's not full of lameass "OH JAINA I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU" songs. Cause that's not worth his time.

Also, it's been months since the book came out so I can say it quite openly now: Jacen Solo is dead and Zekk is missing. Thanks Legacy of the Force finale for getting rid of my two favorite Star Wars males and rendering my favorite female absolutely worthless. :| And thanks LotF for bringing back Bore-ba Fett and Admiral Dulla. The GFFA just got so much more awesome. :| x infinity.

If Zekk winds up dead (which we better damnshidafjshjd find out his fate in the MF book or I will stab something and possibly someone. Or multiple someones) then him and Jacen can have Force Ghost Make Out Sessions.

... with Anakin. And Ganner.

... yeah, I said it. (Did you expect anything different from me? Really?)

Kyp Durron will feel left out. QUICK, SOMEONE KILL HIM TOO. And since Tenel Ka is worthless now since Jacen is gone and the Crap Sol-Ho Parental Units have Allana, I'm pretty sure she will be assassinated in the near future FOR MUCH DRAMATIC EFFECT OH NO ALLANA HOWEVER WILL YOU COPE YOU STRONG, STRONG LITTLE SOLO CHILD. D:

So Tenel Ka can join the FGMOS too. (Force ghost Jacen/Tenel Ka/Zekk = ot3? ... FG Ganner/Jacen = OTP? ...FG Anakin/Zekk = OTP? FG TENEL KA/LUSA = OTP? TENEL KA/MARA = OTP? ... FG JACEN/MACE = OTP??????? THEIR NAME TOGETHER WOULD BE JACE. OR MACEN. XDDDDDDD

MACEN. YESSSSSSSS.)

Haha, I am quickly losing interest in the Star Wars characters still living. Let's see. Tenel Ka, Zekk, Kyp and Kyle Katarn. And I guess Allana, even though she's being brought up by BEST 'RENTS EVAR and therefore will turn into an obnoxious self-entitled twit just like the rest of them. So yeah. We'll go with four characters. Oh wait, Taryn and Trista even though they will never, ever be heard from again. SO YEAH. FOUR.

No no, I'm not salty about this still. No way. :|, again.

(Jerell making fun of Kenley's laugh was so much win tonight -- "CAH CAH CAH CAH CAAAAAH~" ROFL. <3333333)

OKAY. Any fans of either JACEN SOLO or TAHIRI VEILA (ew, I don't mean together *insert charfing here*) should DO THEMSELVES A FAVOR and see these pictures.

I'm sure I've gushed over the one of Jacen/Caedus before.

But LOOK AT TAHIRI. :O

(kdjfkajskdj and new Tenel Ka art! :D

Also, this painting = LOVE. BYE NELANI!)

<3 THAT IS ALL.

Allllright, this is bad. You know how much I love me some Jacen Solo and Peter McVries. As far as characters from books go these two always take the cake. But on this readthrough of Lisey's Story, Scott Landon is looking more and more perfect and amazing.

In the case of Peter, we get background on him, sure (not enough jafksfjd). And it's all interesting and his snarky quotes and just everything about him is all kinds of YES. He has his flaws, he has is strengths. And then he's gone.

Jacen Solo, on the other hand, has had so many author's fingers all over him that he's gone from one end of the spectrum to the other and seems like a completely different character at different points in his life. So while I <3 him, he doesn't seem to evoke the same emotion from me that he did in his real years where he was questioning Every Single Thing and being unlike Every Other Jedi out there (kdjakfjaksfjdsd Traitor <3).

Then we get to Scott Landon. With Peter, there wasn't enough and with Jacen there was too much. Scott is like the little bear's junk and I'm Goldilocks and he's just right. He's human. His flaws make sense (*cough* Take note Jacen Solo).

And every little thing wrong with him makes him that much more endearing. The fact that we get to see it all through the eyes of someone who loves him so much despite his flaws (kjfksjfd I love Lisey <3) makes it even better. Sure, Scott cuts the shit out of his hand one night and swears they don't need to go to the emergency room, then he wakes Lisey up at four in the morning talking about, "WE NEED TO BUY A HOUSE. NO WAIT, THAT'S BACKWARDS. LET'S GET MARRIED." Sure, his hair's getting a little too long and he gnaws on his nails like a rat when he's reading and his teeth are a little crooked and he doesn't shut up when he gets to talking.

But he's a mean fry cook, he's had a shitty childhood that he shares with the one person he loves (as well as sharing a trip to that place), and he takes all of Lisey's words to heart. Families suck -- he tells her this as he wraps his bloody arm around her and kisses her temple.

This is the shit I LOVE reading about a character. Little odd things that make them more human.

If there was more Peter, I think Peter would take it all in this race. He's tragically and perfectly shaped and fleshed out, but there's not enough of him. Jacen, if LotF never happened, might take this spot as well -- in fact he has for awhile. But now he has this depressingly bitter aftertaste thing going (which makes me sad).

On this readthrough of Lisey's Story I think LITTLE SCOOT Scott is doing some complete pwnage. D:

I want my own Scott Landon.

Except you know, without the pneumonia eating of the fruit after sunset.

(It was tuned to the 50's on 5, and Lisey wasn't exactly surprised to hear "Sh-boom." Not The Chords, though; this was the cover version, recorded by a quartet Scott had insisted on calling The Four White Boys. Except when he was drunk. Then he called them The Four Cleancut Honkies.)

STEPHEN KING, WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME? <3 XD

I'm gonna post the first part of the Star Wars/Bioshock crossover/mash-up thing here soon, so I figure this post is needed for anyone who is into the Star Wars: EU (post-RotJ) and has no idea what the hell a Bioshock is. I would do one of these for the Star Wars aspect of the story too, but there's really nothing Star Wars-specific to it. If you've read the EU, you'll know these characters and their traits. If you haven't then it'll just be like a cracktastical Bioshock fanfiction, complete with crack, wtf moments and more crack. :D

Just a short little intro of many yays to TEH UNDERWTAER WOLRD OF BOISHOCK. XD

( BIOSHOCK INTRODUCTION/GLOSSARY. )


BUT HERE IS MY CAST LIST DRAMATIS PERSONAE, LOL. Well, okay, not really. Just characters in/mentioned in the story.

And I mean some of these are characters who are only even just mentioned once -- and their Star Wars counterparts. I just had to make a list of Star Wars counterparts. MUAHAHAHAH~

Alana Dooley Soloman (Allana)
Andrew "Andy" Soloman (Anakin Solo)
Drake (Droekle)
Ezekiel/"Zeke" (Zekk)
Isaak (Isolder)
Jackson Fellows (Jagged Fel)
Jane Soloman (Jaina Solo)
Jase Soloman (Jacen Solo)
Karen Wells (Taryn Zel)
Kip Durant (Kyp Durron)
Kristin Wells (Trista Zel)
Louie (Lowbacca -- "Lowie")
Raymond Thurston (Raynar Thul)
Tanith Kendall Dooley (Tenel Ka Djo)
Teneil Dooley (Teneniel Djo)
Victoria "Torry" Tela (Tahiri Veila)

(EEEHEHEHE, TENEL KA THE REDHEAD WITH HER IRISH LAST NAME. XD)

So I'll start posting this shiz like tomorrow or something. Something something.

OKAY. BIOSHOCK AND STAR WARS. There is so much shit I've written that it has to be split up into a couple parts, WTF I KNOW. D: But I am so in love with this. I haven't been this excited by anything I've written in awhile.

I have a dorky/darling/dirty moment with Jase and Jane in one of the parts. It's creepy cause it's borderline Jacen/Jaina -- and this is because Jase is drunk off his fucking rocker and Jane is like, lol you dumbshit, it's me. I've done this before, you see. But the darling comes in because Jane is all, "awww little twin bro, you're such an illegal workaholic and you will catch a break soon, i promise." And she gives him a kiss on his drunk-ass, booze-smelly forehead and he's all, "zzzzzzzz"

Oh and the part where Jane and Jase are looking at Kip at Eve's Garden (Jane's place of employment, HELL YES <3) and he's all jealous of Jase cause he's close to Jane -- even though he knows they're TWIN SIBLINGS -- and Jane is like LOL LET'S PISS HIM OFF. So she whispers something in Jase's ear and massively!horribly!drunk!Kip Durant FLIPS HIS SHIT.

( Even though we look exactly alike? )

And these are the kinds of reasons why I'm having so much fun with this story. XD

(I am so not guilty of Jacen/Jaina 'shipping, I swear. *shifty eyes*)

Alright, but Andy does falls asleep with his head on Jase's leg and it's the cutest thing ever. <3 Solo kids = OT3.

(I can totally see Jacen and Jaina doing this:

Jase was about to ask more about this "Torry", until Jane elbowed him in the side gently. "Don't look to your right."

Instantly turning his head to the right, Jane elbowed him in the side again. "I said don't look!")


Haha, before I post this story I will totally make a little guide/glossary so everyone can understand both the SW and the Bioshock sides of the story, cause sometimes I even forget stuff myself. XD

So.

There are people attracted to Jacen/Anakin, there are people attracted to Mara/Jacen or Mara/Anakin. Shit, there is even a market for Jacen/Leia (lol Leia-droid, anyone?) -- but if I just absolutely had to pick a Solo/Skywalker-cest thing, it would be -- duh -- Jacen/Jaina.

I always find myself all, "OH HOW ADORABLE" with Jacen/Jaina (okay, pre-LotF). It's so gross, but if people can like Luke/Leia, then dammit, I can think Jacen/Jaina is cute. Plus, I like it when they are being nice to each other. Overly touchy-feely in-my-bad-place nice? Maybe not so much. Giggly-huggles nice, yes. But they are so about the darling and the eyerolling in the YJK books where they're all, "Oh you silly animal collecting goose" and "OH YOU AND YOUR MACHINES, SIS" -- and they argued only like a little punkass brother and sister could (except somehow with a total underlying married couple thing going on). And then the whole spitting venom and hating on each other and shit from the beginning of the LotF to now makes me want to emo my wrists to death on a whole new level.

The last time I really adored Jacen? Dark Nest: The Swarm War. That was in 2005. The three times I adored Jaina in Legacy of the Force? The flashback to the Shadow Academy. The flashback to post-Tenel Ka's arm apocalypse. And the flashback where Jacen came in after Anni died and helped Jaina get to sleep.

The Solo twins are pretty much douchechills without each other. And yes, I mean both of them. *eyes Jacen Solo* Once they gave up on each other it was like, "Really? This is how it's gonna go? LOL TWIN BOND?"

So, you know, LotF really harshed my mellow there. And when I go back and read the YJK or the NJO and it mentions the SUPER MYSTICAL POWER OF SAID MAGICAL TWIN BOND OF TWINNY TWIN TWINNESS, I will laugh at it. I will laugh long and hard (that's what she said) at it because the LotF cancelled it all out.


Zekk and Tenel Ka were totally covers for their UNDYING TEENAGE STAR-CROSSED GROSS FAMILY LOVE in the YJK SERIES. :|

And Jacen REALLY cut Tenel Ka's arm off cause he wanted Jaina to be the prettiest girl in the Academy! And how does he know she's the prettiest? BECAUSE SHE'S A GIRL VERSION OF HIM.

[/crack]

Oh no wait, let me open that tag again.

[crack]

Okay, in all seriousness. The real reason Jacen cut Tenel Ka's arm off -- it was not an accident. He meant to do it. Why? Do we really know where Tenel Ka's severed left arm ended up?

No.

That's because little, conniving Jacen stole it for his own purposes.

And yes, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Jacen Solo! Giving the galaxy new meaning to the word handjob!

I sense a livejournal icon coming on.

[/crack]

I'M DONE RUINING OUR FANDOM NOW. :D ...NO WAIT.

[crack] Zekk borrowed it sometimes, too. [/crack]

OKAY REALLY, I'M SPENT.

LOOK YOU GUYS, IT'S THE SOLO KIDS WHEN THEY WERE HOT. (ksjfkjsdf that fanart <3)

Also, how slammin' is Tahiri in this fanart? I WOULD HIT THAT. <3

Aaaaaaand these are my dream Solo twins, for real (sajfksldjf the second picture = love!) -- best diabolical duo EVER.

WHEN DID IT GET TO BE SO LATE ALREADY. :|

On a completely random note -- I am writing a Jacen/Tenel Ka short story that is a crossover with Bioshock. And by crossover I don't mean "LOL SANDER COHEN MEET JACEN SOLO! WHERE AM I?! WHAT IS THIS SILLY PELLET SHOOTING GUN?" I mean, I am sticking these two into Rapture and just running with it like they've been on Earth all their lives. It might kind of be in the same oddly disconnected vein as Jagula, Dr. Zekkyll, Lowzilla and the Phantom of Carida -- but in a more serious (and vintage-1940's pervy <3) kind of way.

Their names in the story? Tanith Kendall and Jase Soloman. YES.

(This is also in addition to Jase's siblings, twin sister Jane and little brother Andrew. MOOHAHAHAHA~)

STAR WARS/BIOSHOCK = OTP.

I never realized how fun it is to write them in a setting that's not LOL BLASTERS AND LIGHTSABERS AND THE FORCE IN YOUR FACE LIGHT AND DARK YAY WAR ALL AROUND US ALL THE TIIIIME!!!1111 Also, Jacen Solo Jase Soloman saying "fuck this" = LOL YES. And you know I will totally insert little jokes into it pertaining to the canon SW storyline. Like skirts. And animals. And Jaina's harem. And the missing arm.

I'm also kind of mixing up the canon (haha like it's not effed enough already by putting them in Rapture) --

Basically the Soloman's (Han and Leia) sent their kids Jase, Jane and Andrew (Jacen, Jaina and Anakin) down to Rapture (the Academy) because they are "gifted" (have the Force) and they thought the kids would fit in good with Andrew Ryan's vision of LOL AWESOMENESS. But the children end up following their own paths: Jase delivers food (hottest delivery boy ever) and smuggles stuff from the surface, Jane dances at a burlesque joint and Andrew guts fish for a living (Jacen goes absolutely batshit, Jaina loves her some boys and... more boys and Anakin uh, dies). So see, it's just like canon! Parents let kids go crazy! :D

Oh oh oh, and Andrew swipes a Telekinesis plasmid so the brothers get to have some fun pretending they have the Force.

I LOVE THE DIRTY SOLOMAN CHILDREN. XD


(OH AND NOW ANOTHER IDEA WHERE JASE AND TANITH HAVE ALANA [see, I totally just took out an extra L] AND THEY THREATEN TO TURN HER INTO A LITTLE SISTER AND JASE LOSES HIS SHIT AND KILLS LOTS OF PEOPLE.)

OH-EFFING-KAY! I have pulled out all the stops and am using songs I have been hoarding from other fanmixes to put on this one. Therefore, this is my most emo fanmix, by far, that I have ever had the awesome fangirly opportunity to put together. And I have everything on this bitch from Deadsy to Gnarls Barkley to I AM X to Masashi Hamauzu to the Smashing Pumpkins to P.O.D. to Anberlin (EVEN CRISS ANGEL LOLOLOLOL) -- SONG HORDING SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE LOTF SERIES! :D

I have slaved madly on this one, picking each song carefully and piecing them together to form the perfect crazy trip through the events concerning them in this odd little series -- from the song "Red" with it's lilting and childlike kaleidoscope of absolute and utter emo-depression for Tenel Ka and Allana to "Sleep Sweet" for Jacen's message through the Force to Tenel Ka -- this fanmix is MAH BABY. <3

Aaaaaand it pretty much makes me bawl everytime I put the playlist on my zune. Especially when it hits the line you're not the one I used to know in "Gone to Your Head." D:

So I hope there are some EU fans out there who will download the two discs, take a listen and appreciate this whack-ass musical journey and stuff. J/TK = OTP4EVA AND SHIT, REPRESENT.

BEWARE OF TEH INVINCIBLE SPOILERAGES. AND THE IMAGE HEAVY GOING ONS (also omg yay bryce and jared XD).


( Remember that dignity is valuable, but our lives are valuable too. )


PHEW. That was draining. :(

Viridity is six years old today! :O

I feel the need to write a big ramble on why I <3 Jacen Solo.

But I think you guys already know. XD

So I will just leave you with these three old school pieces of ABSOLUTE LOVE:

    With a stubborn lift of his chin, Jacen looked at the stump of her left arm. It made him feel sick, and he wanted to turn away. This was the first time he had really seen her injury. "I... I won't let you take all the blame. If I'd been letting the Force direct my movements, I would have sensed something was wrong." He pointed to where her arm ended so abruptly. "And that would have never happened."
    Tenel Ka's eyes flashed with a smoky gray fire and, using her right arm to hike up her gown to a comfortable thigh level, she plopped onto the cushioned bench. "And had I been using the Force," she argued, "I would already have known my lightsaber blade was inadequate."
    "Well, I..." Jacen stopped, unable to dredge up a counterargument to convince his infuriatingly proud friend. "I..." He cast about furiously for something else to say and finally finished, "Um, want to hear a joke?"
    His mouth dropped open in amazement as Tenel Ka burst into peals of laughter. He could tell that this was neither polite amusement not hysteria, but the laughter of enjoyment that sprang from the heart. It was a wonderful sound -- one he had wanted to hear since the first day they met.
    "But..." Jacen shook his head in confusion. "I didn't even tell my joke."
[ YJK: Lightsabers -- Kevin J. Anderson & Rebecca Moesta, 1996 ]


-- And two, this one, duh, like I would leave it out:

    "I'm going to sunburn every inch of my body," Jacen remarked, a not-so-subtle reminder that he had climbed into the iceborer practically naked, wearing just a loose-fitting skirt, purloined from the dead pilot of the captured coral skipper. Even worse for him, because the entry hatch was so tiny, Jaina had to kneel behind him and very indelicately push him in, and all the while with him conscious of the fact that he was only wearing a skirt. A skirt! It'd be a long time before Jaina let him live that indignity down.
[ NJO: Vector Prime -- R.A. Salvatore, 1999 ]


-- And can't forget this one, oh hell no:

    Trusting their friend, the amphistaffs take his advice.
    He stretches forth his arms. The warriors can only stare in openmouthed awe as amphistaffs fall like leaves from the polyps at his back; as amphistaffs wriggle down the polyp's knobby leathern trunks and slither through the grass.
    Amphistaffs twine around Jacen's ankles and climb his body like vines enveloping a forgotten jungle idol. They twist around his legs, his hips, his chest, coiling the length of his arms, shrouding his neck, curving up to embrace even his skull. The approaching squads of fully armed warriors slow uncertainly, not quite sure, now, how to attack.
    Because the vonduun crab is not the only creature that can resist the cut of an amphistaff blade.
    Jacen brings his hands together before him, and offers the warriors a solemn bow. When he parts his hands again, a mature amphistaff stretches between them, blade and spike, fully envenomed. As is every one of the seventeen amphistaffs that make up his armor.
    Jacen says, "I'd like you all to meet some friends of mine."
[ NJO: Traitor -- Matthew Woodring Stover, 2002 ]

<3

I'll post the Legacy of the Force Jacen/Tenel Ka fanmix later tonight. ;D

LOL LOL LOL YOUR BOAT!!!11

Another quote from the VIP thread on the official Star Wars board concerning LotF and the emotion behind it and the NJO:

I have heard throughout the Legacy series, from a number of different people, that the series (and the NJO series) was too dark, too distressing. That people read Star Wars to escape reality, not be shoved back into it. The thought at our end was that you all had had enough strife, death, destruction, emotional upheavals to last for quite sometime. What you wanted was escapist fiction -- something that the authors, editors, and I aren't entirely ready to give you -- but felt that reading a book consisting of the characters' heart-wrenching torment of losing yet another child would be too much for an author to write, let alone for us to read.

This has to be the best response ever to that and sums up my thoughts completely.

BEST LEGACY OF THE FORCE THEORY EVER.

BIG PROPS TO YOU GUYS. :DDDDDDDDD

So what you're saying, in essence, is that in the face of this question, to fight Evil in the form of Luke Skywalker or to become Evil himself, Jacen Solo should have made the decision to stand firm?

If this was how it was really meant to be then I will STAND BEHIND LOTF AND LOVE IT WITH ALL MY HEART.

But if this just all magically fits together then it's still a jumble of meh-stuff to me.

(I still think it's classic that Jacen was pretty much right in the end.)

Dude, I'm totally gonna write an essay comparing Jacen and Jaina Solo to Dennis and Dee Reynolds from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. CLASSIC. I mean, I would love to see the Solo twins put into some of the situation the Reynolds twins are.

DENNIS REYNOLDS (Jacen) -- Dennis is co-owner of Paddy's and Dee's twin brother. He is a vain, self-absorbed prep and a ladies' man. Dennis was popular in high school, but his prom date dumped him for another man. Despite making less than $400 a week at the bar, his family's wealth enables Dennis to wear stylish clothing and drive a Range Rover. He earned good grades at the University of Pennsylvania and minored in psychology, though his original ambition was to become a veterinarian. He listens to glam rock and Rick Astley.

(LOL LotF = RICKROLLING THE GALAXY.)


DEANDRA "SWEET DEE" REYNOLDS (Jaina) -- Dee is Dennis's twin sister and a bartender at Paddy's. She dropped out of Penn (where she had majored in psychology but failed her classes) to become an actress, but has put little effort into realizing her ambition. Although she identifies herself as a compassionate liberal, she will always put herself first and often has the same prejudices as her friends and brother. Since high school, she has had a long string of failed relationships. Like the other members of the gang, she drinks heavily, especially to calm herself after meeting an attractive man. Despite her many insecurities, Dee is aggressively outspoken and prone to violence when angered.

( Let's see how these episodes would look with J&J. Complete with crack rocks, crossdressing, serial killers and FALSETTO! )

Aaaaaaand their father asking them if they're sleeping together. XD

(Charlie = Kyp cause he's so dirty, Mac = Zekk cause he thinks he so suave)

P.S. The BEATBOX commercial they did for IASIP last season is one of the best commercials I've seen in my entire life. XD

Today I realized my contract with Cingular was over a couple months ago and now I'm on a month to month thing. This is awesome, because this means I can get the eff off of Cingular-- oh sorry, AT&T, and go on another service. I really dug Virgin Mobile when I had it, so I might switch back to that. I never really talk on my phone too much. If anything, I use it to text more.


There was a topic on a message board about the nerdiest thing you had ever done was. This made me think about the question for myself. There's the costumes and the websites and stuff, sure. But nerdiest? I think I would have to go with this:

( It's like a banner of geekiness that always comes with me. )

NOW THAT I HAVE SHARED WITH YOU MY DEEPEST, MOST NERDTASTICAL THING EVER, I shall... uh, do something.


Aaaaand ( Here is a mini rant on Jacen, Tenel Ka and Invincible. )

I've decided that I didn't really like the series as a whole. None of the books really stood out to me -- I'm gonna have to go with Tempest as my favorite. Only because the cover is hot. And that's pretty bad when I have to go on the covers. Wait, I also like all the little fun things Denning always interjects into the stories. BUGSLUT. Invincible wins second for the cousins. Fury wins third for Zekk going all odd and gray and out of it concerning the Force.

But I can't nerd out over LotF like I did with other books like the NJO and even the DN books -- not to mention the YJK series and all the awesomely-cheesy-amazing Bantam books where there could be LOTS OF FUN WITHOUT LOTS OF KILLING.

Buuuuuuuuuh~

I kind of hate the Solo family.

( Yeah, I finished Invincible. And this is my review. :| )

And mark my words. If that darling brat starts calling those two "Mommy" and "Daddy" in any future book, I am so far out of this shit it's not even funny. D:


Props also to the new best Jacen Solo joke in the history of ever: "What's the difference between a lightsaber and a glowrod? A lightsaber impresses girls!"

YES. LOOOOOOOVE. <3


Final words on the series: It's like the whole galaxy just got Rickrolled. Seriously.

This still has to be one of the top three theforce.net threads EVER.

I need a Jacen-crotch icon. FOR REAL. XD

(Any thread that can include the phrases, "Spread 'em!", "Solotch!", "Watch IT! you'll poke yer eye out Kid!" -- not to mention:

"Jacen's crotch is so tough..."

and holy crap...

"I can't understand these new feelings i have for jacen either."



LOVE IT. <3)



EDIT: Y HALLO THAR ICON. AND THAT IS HOW I CELEBRATE THE COMING OF INVINCIBLE DAY. lololol i said co-- okay, sorry that was horrible, i'll stop. XD

Here is another present for you all. I've been working on it forever. And I am in love with it. It's a Jacen Solo fanmix Musical.

It's called: HEY - a Jacen Solo Musical

As for a preview of what you will find under the cut.


(Also, Mullet!Jacen and his Kill List.)

And that's all I have to say about that.

OH OH OH WAIT, there are no Invincible spoilers under this cut! Although there's lots of cursing and other assorted asshattery, BUT DID YOU EXPECT ANY LESS?

Okay, NOW WE'RE READY FOR LIFT OFF.

( JACEN SOLO WANTS YOU! FOR GAG! To GAG? To gag, wait, what? -- warning for lots of languages of the cursing kind and lots of cracktastical Star Warish janks. Also, caps lock fun! )


And holy crap, according to the cosplay.com D*C '08 Star Wars thread of doom, besides my TK, there's a Ben (teeeeheheh CS <3), a Caedus(!!!) and a Jaina (HI KAYLI~ XDDD)! And then of course lots of movie characters. IT WILL BE A PARTY! (THERE IS ALSO KYLE'S ALLANA -- OMG MOTHER/DAUGHTER XD <33333333 ILU~)

I have worked like an effing maniac on the third Jacen/Tenel Ka fanmix and it's gonna be posted on May 24th. May 24th is the day that my Jacen Solo fansite, Viridity, will turn 6 years old~ :O! Holy crap, really.

It's two discs. There's 30 tracks on it. It is my baby that has been in the works for about a year and a half now. Every book that was released I would add songs that fit and I had a whole list of songs to switch in and out depending on the outcome of the series. Which, now that I know, I set my tracks accordingly. All I need are a few more quotes and this thing will be complete -- finally. :D

I HOPE YOU ALL WANT TO HEAR SOME CRAZY MUSIC. Cause that is what you'll be getting. I hope you will partake in the crazy on the 24th and listen and enjoy. And help me celebrate 6 years of being a totally total complete and utter nerd -- well, a totally total complete and utter nerd with a website. It's not like I wasn't a T.T.C.a.U.N. before that -- I just didn't have a Jacen Solo site to complete my dorktacular geekery. :|
