Wai Hallo Thar

Oh.

Right.

Yes.

I, uh, do have a blog, don't I? Yes.

I should update it more often.

..........Yes.

Ahem. Well...lets hop in the "Way-Back" machine, and look at my last post, written some eons ago when Evolution deemed giant lizards roaming this earth to be a good idea, and see if we can figure out just why my blog has been so barren these past few bleak months.

Mhmm.

Once again, video games prove to own my ass on a silver platter.

World of Warcraft is the usual suspect, with his partner in crime, Wrath of the Lich King. But wait, he's got two new whipping buddies that give me absolutely no rest these long, weary nights! These hooligans come in the sinister(ly awesome) forms of Saints Row 2, and the cartoon, Transformers Animated.

The irony of the latter is that Transformers is one of those shows that I promised myself I would never watch, or at least never enjoy. Damn Alex and his persistence though, while he could do little to warm me up to the retro 80's cartoon that started it all, he did finally manage to get me to hop onto the Transformers fan-wagon through dark and sinisterly clever means; modern day Transformers. He began with the live action movie, which I enjoyed, and when he showed me the new cartoon, I fell for the proverbial bait, hook line and sinker.

It's not lost on me that my stubborn "I shan't enjoy this" attitude is usually met with the swift, merciless 2x4 of "Shut the fuck up and watch". This is hardly the first time Alex has pulled this stunt on me. Star Wars and Indiana Jones, to name a couple of what he considers his more golden achievements.

My recent affection for the Transformers story truly borders on the insane though, as I was recently horrified to realize that I was beginning to show interest in the 80's Transformers cartoon. And not even the movie. The god damned camp-fest of a series. Holy zombie Jesus, what's wrong with me?

To further cement my place eyebrow-deep in this fandom, I recently dove headfirst into the glitchy abyss that is my computer trying to properly run DVD Decryptor and Sony Vegas, and crawled out bloody, bruised, and carrying a brand new fan music video tucked 'neath each arm. Yaoi, of course. Apparently that's how you can tell I really, really like something; when I find some way to make it GAY.

Below are links and some information on the videos I made. Forgive my use of Filefront as opposed to Youtube, but they've been cracking down hardcore on fan made videos of this sort lately, and my MV's are usually removed before I can so much as call tomfoolery and flip them the bird.

Also, be wary the streams provided. Sure, you can see the video much (much, much) faster, but, the video and sound quality are far poorer. On the other hand, the video files are stupidly large, and take forever to download. So the sacrifice just might be worth it.

((The Bot All The Bad Guys Want))


Ahaha, well, what can I really say here. It's bouncy, happy, cute, and I think rather a pick-me-up. I simply adore Prowl and Bumblebee together, and I have a hard time making most Autobot romances anything but this. Romantic and cute. Anyone who's really watched this show cannot possibly deny how well these two bots go together. Their personalities contrast enough to make it interesting, while still mingling enough to make a relationship possible.

And besides...

Check out how Prowl pounced on Bee there. C'mon. The kid blushed.

Case closed.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY (sorta) DIFFERENT!!

((I Hate Everything About You))

If you couldn't tell right away by the title, this video isn't quite as upbeat. Ooooh yes, nothing quite like some good ol' Decepticon love...uh...lust. Yeah. Lots of fiery passion and loathing. Really, I can't see Megatron and Starscream having a lovey-dovey relationship. Might have something to do with the fact that Screamer's prime hobby is trying to plant a knife right in his lord's back on a near daily basis, in an attempt to take his place as ruler of the Decepticons.

And Megatron?

He's just a jerk. Main villain and all that.

Looking over these videos and thinking about the what-if relationships, it strikes me that they really are polar opposites of each other. Both represent the different aspects of these romances that I find intriguing.

Prowl and Bumblebee have that sweet, fluffy cuteness that makes me say "Aww..."

Megatron and Starscream meanwhile have that raw, kinky, angry, hateful lust that makes me drool.

I know I read a bit too much into these things, but hey, that's what being a fangirl is all about.

'Til next time, RogueKitty signin' off.
