Kingdom of Knuffel

just thought i drop by and say hello Lunar Night Twilight fed one Knuffel and played with other one

I went upstairs and read my book for three hours (pretty much up to the point that I became so sleepy that I had to convince myself to put it down.)


@Alice: Nice. I like that Jasem thinks about those things when she's reading. I sometimes find inspiration in a book, and there are times when my opinion on a subject is influenced by what I've read, but on whole, I read for enjoyment, so I don't ponder too much about how a book affects me. These young adult and fantasy novels aren't exactly practical reading.

Aha, one of my characters has a mechanical wing too. X3 I was influenced by one of my friends at the time of his creation, apparently.

I'll go add your entry to the front.


Aha, being serious all the time isn't exactly the greatest trait; aside from being hard on myself, I'm rather hard on my partners as well. I enjoy working with details however, so it all fits together quite nicely in the end. After all, your writing is like an extension of yourself; it reflects your beliefs, how you think, who you are. It's beyond just being able to relate to your own character.

I have a friend who doesn't focus on too much detail in comparison. Her writing tends to be more quick-paced and upbeat; she actually gets somewhere in her planning and stories (though like many writers, it rarely finds an end) and it reflects a lot of her, er, female-dominant beliefs. I guess mine strongly lacks females because when I think about things, it tends to come out from a more male/neutral point of view (er, not that that's entirely true, but it's how I feel about it, anyways.)

I try to be somewhat organized, especially when I dig through my folders very often. My sense of fashion for my characters tend to be more based on, RL clothes (like the ones in online stores). I do keep a couple outfit samples from various artist, but I don't base too much of my characters' outfits on theirs --it's more like I'm trying to connect to their sense of fashion, rather than borrowing from their wardrobe.

All the images I save go in one of the following main files: anime, artists, BJDs, comics, games, gift art, KofK, media, miscellaneous, original art, photos, reference, favorite mangas. Most files are individually labeled by fandom (if any), followed by the name of the characters (if more than two characters, then they're simply labeled as "group"), and a number in order of when it was first downloaded, and artist (if any). I think I would feel a little nuts if I just threw my files into whatever main folder I've seen some of my friends do. That'd be almost 30k images in chaos. XD

I m doing all right just lurking about on here what you reading at the moment M Hart?

I have real trouble finding example outfits or pictures in general that look like something one of my characters own. I don't know if it's because I'm too picky, or because they're all too random of a lot. If I had a folder of pics there'd be like...a Slayer t-shirt. And a pair of track pants. And that's about it.

I also have a problem with not being serious. Not as in not investing time in characters and writing, but I just can't take anything seriously. So there's a lot of black humor in my writing and a bit of over-the-topness because...well, nothing's that serious, is it?

Hey guys, just wanted to pop in and say hi!
How's everyone?

@KnuffelxFan: "Spindle's End." It's a retelling of Sleeping Beauty.


@Meme: Aha, even so, you go out of your way to break the stereotypes, so your writing stands out in that sense, ne?


@bluejay: Yo! Doing well here; just had a bit of breakfast and I'm gonna get my hair cut in an hour or two.

XD That Roxas has the dominant personality amuses me greatly.

Demyx is great. His personality is great.

When I get around to playing it, I'd like to play in chronological order. >>b


Huh. I just realized something. My friend whom my other friends suspect of being either metrosexual or gay came to talk to me today about gay anime. XD Usually I get jumpy about that IRL (though I'm sure at least three of them suspect something --no one really talks about it), but I'm always fine talking to him about it. I still wonder if that friend is gay, but I can't really say unless he hooks up with someone. XD; We talk about Kurt and Blaine (the gay kids in Glee) a few times together as well.

Oh, I cut my hair! 8D It's now short enough to spike! After having that odd ponytail that grew out of neglect and the stress of Finals, my head feels way lighter (literally). I am liking this look.

I was thinking of giving out prizes for this hangout more often. I enjoy reading people's written memes, so a small prize every two weeks doesn't sound too bad to me. However, I'll probably only give out prizes if there're at least five members participating.
