I CONTINUE TO BLOG

[Kokizzzle] koda you’re not blogigng that thing from earlier are you?
[raspberry] I totally am.
[Kokizzzle] i hate u
[raspberry] dont worry, no one visits my new blog
[Kokizzzle] but you didn’t answer my question
[raspberry] becausei haven’t told anyone about it.

I have a new blog and this convo reminded me that I made no effort to tell anyone I made one, but that’s mainly because I don’t really know what I’m going to be talking about yet but I’ve been making random posts lately just “because” and really the blog only exists because I want to put the hilarious domain name to good use but maybe inspiration will strike me or something soon idk lol.

Reflections on anime bloggin’

I went into this wanting a place to ramble to people, as my group staff was getting “…” at me for spamming the IRC room up with my stuff. Thank you all for listening in place of them. :D! Posting will die down and time will pretty much freeze here. Everything will be left in tact until I get tired of paying for my webhosting.

To Owen a.k.a. saturnine a.k.a. that guy who’s name I really only recall from iRO forums (purple Lain avatar? Wizard? Chaos?), thank you for your compliments about my writing, but I don’t think this level of “intelligent writing” is that magical considering I have all of one topic here. (I mean, when you have all of one topic, it’d be fairly pathetic if you could only produce the same writing as everyone else.)

…and even though I say “everyone else”, I’m not really sure who the “everyone else” is because I don’t really follow the anime blogosphere. During early May, I made this blog and went into this with the mindset of not liking anime blogs. In barely 5 months worth of blogging about an anime, this opinion hasn’t exactly changed. Part of this comes out of dislike for blogs like RandomC, so it was extremely amusing to wake up one day and find a link back from there. (I wonder if Omni saw the “Quit reading RandomC” tag, lol.)

I dislike anime blogs because sometimes I feel like the writer isn’t really writing because they like and/or enjoy something, but because they want to be popular, or in some cases blog things because they feel “obligated” to. (And since I’m a bitter person this opinion stretches itself to mean everyone!) So, people like say, jaalin, who was blogging Higurashi Kai because of some completely contrived reason, don’t fucking make sense to me. Now, I realize this sounds bizarre coming from a fansubber, but I only serve those who can play 720p h264 softsubbed mkv’s. Fuck yeah technology.

I set out to be entertaining, and based on feedback, I was. Soo, MISSION SUCCESSFUL. Commentators are asking “What’s next?”, but I don’t think I would be able to do something like this again. In my eyes, part of the success was simply that I devoted myself one topic and was enthusiastic about it. I don’t have much interest in giving my complete attention to a series like this for anything in fall, and none of the series in fall have Schneizel~ Also the blog is really only categorized and tagged for Geass, and re-organizing them for more general purposes would kill some of the lulz.

Flexible Upload Wat

…okay why the shit doesn’t the flexible upload plugin work in Firefox. D:< (Or rather, why has it turned the image uploading screen into a blank box~) It was working before, and now it magically doesn’t (FUCKING MAGICIANS), but it does work in IE. wat.

Guest writer

The frequently misspelled has been given magical post authoring powers. Treat him nicely.

(Oh, if you hang around IRC, his nick = schnwtfhisname on there)

hay i liek this theme

This theme is slick imo, but the CSS is messy as fuck (I found the header image under a magic tag called NEWS!); especially the lack of image and blockquote stuff. It came with 3 columns but I hate 3 columns so I nuked the 3rd one then had to re-do the images for the expanded width on the entries. And now it looks un-even on the right side and you can probably tell I removed something from there lol! :D The templates are missing stuff like comment #’s and I have no magic edit button on posts and whatever. Enjoy my awesome temp banner while I dick around with the CSS. Normally I would just edit it before putting it up but wordpress THEME PREVIEW is an extremely shitty canvas to work with.

Spending your Thursdays before Weeaboo tests working on un-fucking CSS = Fuck yeah blogging. \o/

Edit: Oh fuck, this doesn’t count comments left using the extended comments plugin either. AS;LDK234LK;
Edit2: …am on the verge of just throwing this all out…
Edit3: AWESOME NEW BANNER. :D
Edit4: Btw, this is the original theme.
Edit5: Gravatar enlargement successful. >:3

lol geass-themed captcha

I don’t even need a captcha script at all, but I found a custom word one and went lulz mode. Word bank includes “shunakanOTP” and “faggotry”. This is secretly a plot to get people to spell Schneizel’s name right, maybe.

ITB, Geass is a trainwreck, the end

Well for starters Code Geass remains the only series I’ve ever seen that has had a dedicated blog to it attempting to explain how the series is a trainwreck (the blog is in fact called Code Trainwreck) so there’s really no way one can claim to me that there isn’t an organized bashing machine set up for this series.

I’ve really kept out of the “omg anime blogging drama” shit to focus on the series itself, but being used as an example which describes my blog in a manner that isn’t true is annoying. Read more »

Categories, tags, wut.

I’m retarded and I’m currently going through self-drama about how I categorize and tag shit.

KhaosK says that tl;dr, in example, should be a tag rather than a category. orz
