Rocket-Happy

I made a new dA account. I know nobody watches me but I'm going to move my writing to that account from this account, and I don't want to be accused of plagiarizing my own shit, so. >.>

My new account is here: hotel-denouement.deviantart.co…

So this journal hasn't been updated since July 2008, wtf!? Wow, self.

Anyway, I'm posting stories that I'm writing since it feels wasteful of me to have a dA account and not put any art. But I can't draw for craps, but I can write, so I figure I'll post that from here on out.

I'll put up "The Girl in the Tower," "Awkward Elevator Moment," "The Definition of Sanity," and any other stories I feel like putting up.

So...yeah!

Okay. Um. How do I say it?

OHHH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!!!!!

AHHHH!!!

THAT WAS AMAING! OH MY GOD! AANG AND KATARA AND ZUKO AND SOKKA AND TOPH AND SUKI AND OZAI AND AZULA AND THE CRYING AND THE TEARS AND HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

I cried. I cried like a little bitch. I swear to God, I think the only time I've ever cried harder than last night was when HP ended, and this finale was so much better, IMO.

Now, I will review the finale in caps.

OKAY SO ZUTARA AND TOKO DIDN'T HAPPEN LIKE I SO DESPERATELY WANTED EVEN THOUGH I READ SPOILERS FROM THE BOOK, BUT I DON'T CARE! I DON'T CARE AT ALL! I DON'T GIVE A FLYING SHIT BECAUSE THAT WAS THE EPIC FINALE OF ALL TIME AND IT MADE KATAANG ADORABLE AND SWEET AND PERFECT AND IT MADE MAIKO...well, I still don't like it, BUT THE "DON'T EVER BREAK UP WITH ME" MADE ME SMILE THROUGH MY TEARS.

I'VE NEVER SCREAMED SO HARD IN MY LIFE. MY ENTIRE CITY PROBABLY THOUGHT I WAS BEING MURDERED WITH A RUSTY KNIFE, BUT IT WAS QUITE THE OPPSITE! THE OPPOSITE OF BEING MURDERED WITH A RUSTY KNIFE IS WATCHING THE FINALE OF AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER AND KNOWING THAT IT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY.

I bawled like a baby when Toph's hand was slipping and Sokka said, "I guess this is it." I was on my knees in front of my TV, tears pouring down my face, screaming, "NO! NO, NO, NO, TOPH! YOU CAN'T LET HER FALL, SOKKA, YOU CAN'T! NEITHER OF YOU CAN DIE! NO NO NO NO NO!!!" But then SUKI came and I cried even harder because I was so relieved.

AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!

The fight scene with Zuko and Azula! Ohhh my God. I personally was holding out for Zuko having to kill her and regretting it. Why? Because in "The Souther Raiders" when Azula was falling, Zuko looked at her and said, "She's not going to make it." You could hear the emotion in his voice. He wasn't going to save her, but he was concerned. As crazy and psycho as she is, she's still his baby sister. Anyway, Azula...oh my God. She just...oh my God. She lost it. She lost it. She just went completely out of her mind...I can't believe it. I knew she was twisted but she just completely broke down and lost it. She's FOURTEEN, man, and she just lost it. I'M fourteen. That's scary. I was shocked that Nickelodeon allowed that. That was honestly disturbing. I, once again, cried like a bitch, but I was shaking watching her scream and cry and struggle against the chains and breathe blue fire and...and Zuko just stared at her. Holy fuck. That was...OMG.

AND THENNNN, my personal favorite line...

Toph: I'm going with Zuko!
Zuko: *blush*
Everyone: *stare*
Toph: What? Everyone else went on a life-changing field trip with Zuko. Now it's my turn! :3

Which translated to me...

Toph: I'M GONNA GO WITH ZUKO AND "SEARCH FOR AANG" WHICH REALLY MEANS HAVE SEX WITH HIM EVEN THOUGH I'M ONLY 12 AND HE'S ONLY 16, OK? 8D
Zuko: Shhhh! >.>
Toph: What? You had sex with everyone else! And Sokka got the most action! D:

Then later...

Toph: *violin music* Blahblahblahblah, but they never gave me the one thing I really wanted: their love.
Zuko: -_-;; Look, I know you had a rough childhood, but we should focus on trying to find Aang. *walks away*
Toph: D< This is the worst field trip ever. >.<

Which translated to me...

Toph: I'm trying to relate with you on a personal level, here!
Zuko: I'm selfish and I just want some ass even though we're the perfect match and you could more than likely make me settle down and the two of us are the hottest pairing ever, and Zutara comes close. But I don't care about that, so let's find Aang.
Toph: You suck. D8

And I have so much more to scream and cry and gush over, but I can't. BUT THAT WAS THE BEST FINALE EVER. EVER EVER EVER EVER, EVAR!!! THAT CAN'T BE THE END. IT CAN'T. IT CAN'T IT CAN'T IT CAN'T! WHAT ABOUT ZUKO'S MOM!? AND THE LOTUS TILE PIAN DAO GAVE SOKKA? WHAT ABOUT IROH'S TRIP TO THE SPIRIT WORLD? WHAT ABOUT KOH THE FACE STEALER? He was cool, I like him, we need more of him. That can't be the end of Avatar. Those movie rumors better be true, goddammit, or I will KILL someone.

It's been so fun being part of the Avatar fandom. Being an Avatard has been and still is a big part of my life. I was there from day one, on February 22, 2005, the day before my eleventh birthday. It's been a long run. Shipping Zutara, hating Kataang, shipping Zutara, respecting Kataang, shipping Zutara, kind of sorta liking Kataang, converting to Toko and still adoring Zutara and kind of having a "Whatever, go ahead and let Aang hook up with Katara 8D" attitude. I'll never forget it, as cheesy as that sounds. How can I? Cartoons and anime and books are a big part of my life (believe it or not, I have a real one) so whenever something finishes, it stays in my heart. Harry Potter, Death Note, and now Avatar. It's been fun. So very fun.

I don't know if you know this, but when I find something a really, really like...I obsess. Srsly. First it was Harry Potter...then it was A Series of Unfortunate Events...then it was Avatar: The Last Airbender...then it was Gorillaz...then it was Twilight.

Guess what new (does it count as new if I remember loving it to bits when I was five, then forgot, then just found out about it again?) obsession Rocket Happy has?

HERE'S THE SHOW'S NAMEY
ANIMANIACS
THOSE ARE THE FACTS.

Seriously. Do you remember that show!? I do! I watched it when I was, like, five years old. I loved Wakko the most, because his jokes were mostly physical humor and that was the stuff I liked. Plus, I never got Yakko's jokes, and Dot I didn't like so much, just 'cause.

But then I found a compilation of amazing quotes from that darling little show on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsBq_K…

And I understood EVERYTHING. I have fallen in love with the eldest Warner. His comments have me in stitches. That puppy child is my hero, I swear to Gawd. Wakko comes next because he's utterly adorable, his accent is utterly adorable, and Ringo Starr is amazing. Then it's Dot, whom I love to pieces as well, but it's hard to make 3rd place look complimentary when there really are only three places.

Now, allow me to tell you my story of my rediscovery of the Animaniacs...

I was looking around the IMDb message boards for Twilight, and I came upon an off-topic post about the original stuff on Nickelodeon, and it came with a link to a video oon youtube that had the themes for a bunch of the classic Nick shows. I had no idea the Animaniacs used to be on Nick (I used to watch them on Cartoon Network), but then I see the big Warner Bros. tower zooming at me with that music, jogging a bit of my memory...

THEN THREE LITTLE CARTOONS COME BURSTING OUT WITH MY CHILDHOOD, SINGING THEIR PRECIOUS LITTLE HEARTS OUT. I knew every word, even after nine years of not watching them.

So then I remembered seeing Animaniacs fanart by bradsgurl, and I looked around the rest of dA for Animaniacs fanart...then I went and searched around Youtube and founds the Wheel of Morality compilation ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv6IWX… ), the Animaniacs' version of the Macarena, and a bunch of songs. I swear, I want to start a museum for them.

So yeah. There's my story.

By the way, I got out of school for the summer. I'm wigging out a bit, since I'm headed off to high school now. I'M GUNNA DIE.

Y'know how it seems all I do on this lovely website is fave other people's work and make everyone feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

WELL NOT ANYMORE.

Everyone: *noes*

Nonono, don't worry. I will still fave a ridiculous amount of artwork and comment on the lovely-/funny-/amazing-ness of them. HOW-EH-VAR, I may soon be putting up art of my own. Yup. Really crappy doodles with no proper anatomy behind them. THAT kinda art.

This crappy art will be a bunch of little comic strips!

And these little comic strips will be...

THE ADVENTURES OF EMO BOY AND PRINCESS AMY (Who Is Not Really A Princess). In short, Emo Boy and Princess Amy or EMAPA.

I'll give you some of the details on Emo Boy and Princess Amy, their characters.

What is Your Real Name?
Emo Boy: *grumble* Sebastian
Princess Amy: Amy.

How old are you?
Emo Boy: I dunno, fifteen? Sixteen?
Princess Amy: Yeah, I guess what he said. Rocket Happy didn't exactly map everything out.

How tall are you?
Emo Boy: WE'RE ON PAPER, YOU F*^&$ING IDIOT.
Princess Amy: Calm down, Sebastian. On paper, we're probably like an inch tall or so. IRL, we'd probably be five foot something.
Emo Boy: IRL, I'd be ridiculously attractive and you would have huge anime girl boobs.

So, what's up with the Emoness and Princess...ness?
Emo Boy: Well, I'm emo.
Princess Amy: ...the hell, NO YOU'RE NOT. Poserrr.
Emo Boy: NO ONE UNDERSTANDS. ;;____;; And where do you get the right to call me a poser? You call yourself Princess Amy and you have a tiara. WTF? You have no royal blood.
Princess Amy: STFU Sebastian.

O.O Do you two hate each other or something?
Emo Boy: Oh, no. She's my best friend.
Princess Amy: "The only one who understand his tortured life." Bullshit.
Emo Boy: STFUUU.

...right. Sounds like an enchanting comic, no?

Oh, and I just want to get this out there: If you're offended by the term "emo" because you have an "emo" friend who cuts themselves and is depressed and crap, I DON'T CARE. Especially if you refer to it as "emo". The whole point of Emo Boy being Emo Boy is so I can freely express my disdain for the term "emo" when referring to a person. Kthx.
