most of this conversation is eluding me.

steelmagghia 03-29-2014 03:53 AM

Probably because it started several days ago AND it's pretty random. Also, my end is based entirely from an episode of Doctor Who.

Wyrmskyld 03-29-2014 04:13 AM

Mine also, although I poofed for a couple of days so things probably got shuffled.

If you want to know the background and don't mind a Doctor Who spoilerX


Super condensed... there's an episode of Doctor Who where the villain is basically psychic snow. He can spread to other snowflakes, and can form into evil snowmen. But people who are slightly psychic can control the snow somewhat, at least enough to make it melt.

There's also, like... the ghost of an evil nanny given physical form out of ice. Somehow her existence made it so the snow couldn't be psychically melted? It's been a while since I saw the episode. But... basically evil ice nanny + evil snowmen = only stoppable by genius governesses working alongside a time-traveling alien with odd dress sense.

I love your summary of that episode, Wyrm!

Wyrmskyld 03-30-2014 01:49 AM

I haven't seen that episode since before the 50th anniversary special, so I'm not sure how accurate my summary was. [lol] And I was trying to make it short and sweet for non-Whovians.

steelmagghia 03-30-2014 01:59 AM

It sounded perfect to me!

Shadami 03-30-2014 11:10 PM

i think that description left me more confused....

Wyrmskyld 03-31-2014 01:38 AM

Yeah... trying to summarize a Doctor Who episode to someone who hasn't seen it will do that... The first episode of the new series started off with the Doctor blowing up a mall because the mannequins were all Living Plastic, and then it got confusing. [lol]

steelmagghia 03-31-2014 02:08 AM

Haha, poor shadami. We're just all sorts of Whovian up in here. :)
Ooh, very pretty Wyrm!

Wyrmskyld 03-31-2014 02:17 AM

I'm trying to come up with a project mene entry... I need something that represents Pisces, but I'm refusing to go around asking if someone has ningyo I can borrow. [lol]

steelmagghia 03-31-2014 02:21 AM

Oh, I liked the little fishies one.
And maybe do something more metaphorical? Like having a personality that is pisces like?

Well, I based it off a few things... in Greek mythology, the two fishes of Pisces are Aphrodite and Eros, who turned into fishes to flee from Typhon. So I'm trying to recreate Botticelli's Venus somewhat with the hair and the nudity and the water. I wanted it to be black and white because Pisceans are supposed to have very dualistic natures-- also the reason for the yin/yang fish on top of, well... Pisces = Fish. I put a few stars in because it's supposed to represent a zodiac symbol, and because I adore stars. And there are a few touches of blue-grey, because that's the color associated with Pisces most of the time. [yes]

I'm just afraid it's too simple. o.o Shadami's a Leo, and has all this amazing sparkle and layering going on!

steelmagghia 03-31-2014 02:31 AM

It's gorgeous! At least you're not trying to do Virgo. That's my sign and it's so boring. Oh look...I'm a girl. Fantastic. I was already a girl, damnit. I prefer my Chinese zodiac sign...ox.

*huggles* Awww you're so sweet!!! And here I was being all scared to submit cause everyone's is so amazing!! that includes yours. :]

Now that I know more about it, it sounds even more impressive o.o

Wyrmskyld 03-31-2014 11:18 PM

[blush] Thanks, Shadami! I'm... still nervous about being mostly naked with all these gorgeously-plumaged people. I had to work hard to get my description down to 75 words, and I really really hope the judges read it, because otherwise I'm afraid they'll just see 'naked. fish. lots of black and white'

Shadami 04-01-2014 01:17 AM

oh crap.. i forgot to count my words....

steelmagghia 04-01-2014 01:19 AM

Crying over ridiculous things because your diet makes you moody is so fun.

Shadami 04-01-2014 01:44 AM

yeah.... i hate that... i need some more food.

steelmagghia 04-01-2014 01:48 AM

I'm allowed to eat as much as I want on this diet, but no carbs that are not veggies or fruits. I just want a muffin and a latte! [cry]

hummy 04-01-2014 08:08 PM

wow, only four ounces of orange juice =(

steelmagghia 04-01-2014 10:05 PM

Juice is totally out for me. Too much concentrated sugar. [cry]

Shadami 04-01-2014 11:38 PM

I wouldn't mind that. i barely drink juice as is. pretty much all water for me. xD

steelmagghia 04-02-2014 12:13 AM

It's killing me. I don't drink juice that much, but I drink 2-3 sodas and a coffee with creamer a day. On top of everything else it's really hard. I promise I'll stop whining about my diet soon, guys!

Shadami 04-02-2014 12:25 AM

Whine away. :]

i just won't support you in the i'll diet with you. I will stay fat forever and enjoy it!!! lmao <3 okay.. i'm not really thaaaaat fat. i still claim fatness though :3 or what is it... fluffyness? or something. pssh i dont know the levels.

steelmagghia 04-02-2014 12:32 AM

Haha. Well. I'm most definitely obese. Which honestly doesn't bother me as much as it probably should, which makes the diet harder. I just need to fit into the costume in two weeks.
