fuck work >:) 1/5/6/10

ur so right rennie. ive dedicated all the time around cooking dinner tonight to answering these instead of working <3

i love u guys for enabling me. HA

1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?

uhhhhhhhhhh definitely megstiel. i think meg genuinely had a bit of an obsession with cas, as did literally everyone else around s4-6 but cas loved her in a 'you're the first person outside sam and dean ive grown to care for and you were my first kiss but i wasnt attracted to you Like That but now we're connected and you mean something to me' way. like, that's a long drawn out way to say they're besties. but ya meg's love for him was DEFINITELY one-sided. he didnt love her romantically, but he did love her and i LOVE meg a lot but i dont like them as like. a couple. she got treated the same way as crowley with dean - intense unrequited love that results in them sacrificing themselves and being forgotten. like !!!! i hate that!!!!!

5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

outside spn? oh definitely LOL honestly ? yes! though im talking dangerously close, not totally, because im here after all! this fandom space in particular got really toxic and unwelcoming around 2016-2018 which is why i left. people were being REALLY weird about bisexual dean (for much longer than circa 2016 but that was when i was just noticing it more unfortunately) and that was also when i saw people disregard a lot of his love interests as comphet, but before everyone called it comphet. so u can imagine the insane cringe-factor surrounding that conversation. it made talking about destiel exhausting and really hard and tho ive literally always been a heller, since before the term came around, it only frustrated me to think about because of how LOUD those people were.

6. Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?

nope! the ones i hate, i generally keep on disliking LMAOOOOOO 10. Most disliked arc. Why?

answered that here!!!! i could LITERALLY rant about how much i hate the bmol arc forever tbh

salty ask list forgot to link this in the first one :')

thanks for 2 years!!!

wow hi! ive been meaning to make a post like this since december 2018 (its still so surreal to me that ive been running this blog for 2 years) but i got distracted by a lot of stuff...

i just wanna say thank you! thank you thank you thank you all so much for supporting me all this time! never in a million years would i think i would get this much attention (or any attention at all lol) so... genuinely thank you all so much.

i just wanna ramble about some personal stuff about this blog but ill put it on a read more bc its... kinda long lol

but tl;dr thank you all so much for 2 years of orbulon! lets try to keep going!

my main blog is @sqlatoon, my twitter is @booparoos! im more active on twitter!

my art blog is @booparoos ! i dont post very often bc im still shy lol

its so mind blowing to me about how ive drawn orbulon over 700 times and almost every day (its been pretty hectic lately in my brain cause of quarantine) its crazy how this blog all started from a silly little stress doodle i did at 2 am. sometimes ill scroll through the archive of this blog and think, wow, IM the person who drew all of these??

running this blog has helped me so much! my art has improved a lot, and it gives some consistency and structure in my life, reminding me to post every day, (even when my sleep schedule is majorly messed up haha)

...but in all seriousness, running this blog helped me so much back when i first started in august 2018. during that time i was going through the most depressive period of my life. getting up in the morning for school was hard, and i struggled so much to stay awake after getting home because it was so hard just... being alive.

ive used media as a coping method for a very long time, and warioware gold was what i was currently hyperfixating on. my school notebooks and drawing software was full of little doodles of orbulon since he was my favorite character. i always wanted to make a daily doodle blog, so i thought, hell, why not make one for orbulon, so i swallowed up my anxiety, made this blog, and posted.

and i was amazed by the number of people who liked it. drawing something silly for this blog during class, coming up with silly scenarios to draw orbs in, and making myself stay awake so i could draw and post something, that really kept me going through the day. i could honestly say this blog saved my life lol

reading your tags, seeing the notes, getting your asks... they all brightened up my day and they still do. i really cant say it enough. all your interactions really do mean so much to me. some of my favorite artists have even reblogged my posts which is just... incredible to me. everytime someones says something nice or compliments my art i cry a lil bit ;w;

getting a little personal again, ive always been extremely insecure about posting my art/showing it to other people (i still am) but this blog has made me more confident! people have been asking since 2018 if i had an art blog and i finally made one! the url is @booparoos !

to think that my silly little doodles about this alien from a small nintendo franchise could make other people so happy... that they could inspire people to start drawing... god that just fills me with so much joy. thank you again.  my warioware fixation is long gone by now, but i stlil love this little alien to death. im currently going into my second year of college, and i dont know how long im going to be able to run this blog. but for sure ill be on this hell site until it crashes and burns into the ground lol... you guys and our favorite little alien mean so much to me <3

[sharksfood]

so this thought just came into my head and i want to explore it.

in my life i’ve only seen 3 films so far that i read as books before they became movies. im not counting comic books/graphic novels that became movies bcs thats a little different, books that became tv shows, or plays that became movies. but its interesting to think about that.

i didnt read harry potter until well after the films (all of them lmao) were released, i’ve never read how to train your dragon, i’ve never read the hobbit/lotr, the animated alice in wonderland came out in the 50s, i have only recently read the last unicorn, i read World War Z after the movie came out (and ive never seen all of the movie), and i read the neverending story when i was cast in the play.

the books that i read before they came out in film are; The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Warm Bodies, and Goosebumps.

Goosebumps kind of fits but it was made into a tv series first, and im not sure if i read the books or saw the shows first. i did both, i know that much.

I read Warm Bodies only bcs I wanted to see the movie but thought the book would be cool to read (its amazing and has a completely different feel from the movie), and Lion Witch Wardrobe was bcs my dad read it to me when I was younger. That and The Magician’s Nephew are the only Narnia books ive ever read.

I was going to try and read Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children before the movie came out, but that work out for me.

if you want to count comics and graphic novels, then the list gets bigger. but comics already have the characters drawn out, so unlike books, you dont have an idea in your head on what the character looks like. that is so often changed in film, plus you loose so much detail and nuance when you go book to screenplay to film (this is also true with comics, but its still different)

However, and the biggest reason as to why I’m thinking about this, two movies will be coming out in the next few years, and both of them are based on my favorite books of all time (aside from the alice books of course). 

The first is Captain Underpants! I know that this is a book series with words and pictures, so technically its a graphic novel series, but they’re kids books! and those tend to have an awful lot of pictures. This series was my FAVORITE (other than the alice books) as a kid!! they were fun, hilarious, relatable, and just all around super great. So when i saw the trailer for the animated film that’s coming out this year based on the series i was ECSTATIC!! Were it live-action i would be bummed out since kids picture books usually fair better when animated (im not a fan of the diary of a wimpy kid movies....) but this animation is handled a lot like The Peanuts movie. The animation look like a color and 3D version of the exact art style!! its wonderful and im SO EXCITED

The other one, and this i am VERY VERY nervous about, is Ready Player One. that is my favorite sci-fi novel ever. i often say its my favorite book ever bc it deserves more love! and i do so much love it. ive reread it i dont even know how many times. and what do you know, they’re making it into a movie!! when i heard about this i had so many mixed feelings, and most of it has to do with the style of the book and the characters.

-Ready Player One Spoilers-

In Ready Player One the protagonist starts out as a dirt poor, fat, unattractive teen boy, and later he gets more physically fit/healthy and rich. he claims to still be unattractive at this point (mostly bcs he jues doesnt like how he looks and he looses all his body hair). this is very important to the character! i’m afraid that in this movie hollywood will do as they always do and make him a skinny conventionally attractive teen from the get-go. people will probably pull the Holes excuse of “the filmmakers didnt want to make the actor gain a bunch of weight and then loose it all” BULLSHIT they can cast a fat actor! and through his training and as they film the movie he can loose some weight or they can use movie magic (like when they made chris evans a scrawny little thing). its not that hard, people.

Another character, and this was super important to me and was a big subplot, is that Wade best friend, Aech, whom he only knows through the game (OASIS) plays as a white, straight, guy avatar, but they’re actually a black lesbian named Helen. And she plays this avatar to protect herself and to get a job and be taken seriously within OASIS. is super sad she has to do this, but its a big part of her character. she’s also fat as well, and im REALLY worried that in the movie she’s going to be a skinny straight white girl.

Two other characters who have important characteristics are Art3mis (Samantha) and the creator of OASIS James Halliday. Art3mis is Wade later love interest and GF. She is notable bcs her avatar is just like her, a chubby girl with black hair, but sans her port-wine birthmark. I know they’ll keep her birthmark, since its an intimate reveal, but they’ll probably make her skinny and i hate it. Now it’s only half canon in the books, but i’ve chosen to go with it, but at one point Wade talks about James Halliday’s childhood and his personality and all that, and mentions that he might have been autistic. Now, since it’s only he “might have been” in the books, the filmmakers will probably not make him autistic. That’s fucking sad to me, I mean, it would be amazing!! This character is one of the smartest, most famous, most prolific video game programmers/designers in history!! And he’s autistic! That is some wonderful representation and the filmmakers should jump on that opportunity. It’ll inspire so many autistic people who have a passion for video games to pursue their dreams. But, i have a hunch they wont go with it.

Two other characters, Daito and Shoto, are Japanese young guys who claim to be brothers (and their characters are) but are just friends in the real world. My initial hunch was that the filmmakers would keep them Japanese, but given the recent whitewashing of important Japanese characters, I have my doubts.

My few other concerns are that this movie won’t have 80s pop culture as the main style and focus of the era they book is set in, not to mention OASIS and most of people’s interests. It’s incredibly important to the novel, but so many dystopian movies choose to go with gritty, futuristic, edgy stuff. The other concern is how they will handle the real life vs OASIS look, since over half of the book takes place inside a VR video game. I’ve seen news that they are utilizing VR technology, but i havent read too much. I’m wondering if they’ll animate all of OASIS and the avatars and action and anything in the video game! That would be awesome.

So these are all my thoughts. I havent looks at who they’ve cast yet, so I’m going to do that right now. I do know that Steven Spielberg is directing it, which could be fantastic or terrible. Okay, cast time.

------

So the IMDB doesnt say who is cast as Daito and Shoto, but Wikipedia says that Win Morisaki of PrizmaX will play him, which is great! I hope that’s what happens.

Art3mis/Samantha will be played by Olivia Cooke, who in my opinion is way too old. She’s older than me! The character’s age (i think) isnt mentioned in the book, but she’s got to be 17-20, and Olivia Cooke looks older than that. She’s also not chubby, but hey, maybe they’ll fit that. She also doesnt have the birthmark, but that’s gonna be makeup. (wouldve been cool if they found an actress with a port-wine stain on her face...)

Parzival/Wade will be played by Ty Sheridan. He was Cyclops in X-Men Apocalypse. He’s the right age, but way too fit and attractive. DAMN IT Well, I guess there’s always makeup and special effects, but i’m 80% sure now they wont make Wade fat.....

Aech/Helen will be played by Lena Waithe who is almost PERFECT. She’s much older than Aech, who is around 18, but like Samantha i imagine they’ll have make up and acting to cover it. My biggest concern is that she’s not fat like Aech, which means they’ll use a body suit or effects or Lena will gain weight, or they wont do anything.....

T.J. Miller will be playing I-r0k, who is another OASIS player and a bigtime douchebag jerk. This is perfect. We don’t know his age, or really anything other than his personality and avatar, and T.J. Miller is hilarious so this/ll be great.

Mark Rylance will be playing James Halliday, witch is fine by me. He’s not quite what I imagined, but thats what makeup and wigs are for. He’s worked a lot with Steven Spielberg, so that makes sense as to why he’s cast here. I just hope he can portray an autistic character well and with respect.... (would be better if he IS autistic but ya know.....)

Simon Pegg will be playing Ogden Morrow, the co-creator of OASIS, and thats perfect. No complaints.

Nolan Sorrento (the antagonist of the book and head of operations at Innovative Online Industries) will be played by Ben Mendelsohn, who was Director Krennic in Rouge One. He is much older and not quite and slimy as I imagined him, but this can totally work. I pictured Nolan Sorrento as Andrew Scott in my head, since he seems like the perfect evil, charismatic, slimy, attractive but ugly inside business man.

----

So, after looking at the current casting choices im a little let down, but still excited! I’ll have to wait patienly for the trailer, since this thing is coming out in 2018. Dang, this turned into a Ready Player One post, but its been on my mind recently.

If you read through all of this, good job! let me know what you think! i probably dont talk about Ready Player One very often but thats bcs i dont know anyone in real life (other than my dad) who has read this book, and the online fandom seems nonexistent. Who knows?

But yeah, I guess I made this post bcs I wasn’t able to share the collective nervousness, complaints, and excitement of Harry Potter or LotR or Percy Jackson fans when their fav books became movies.

i have so much i want to write. 

SO much. 

a fuck load has changed in a year. 

my confidence

my insecurities are gone 

my eating problems are gone 

my stress and anxiety is mostly gone 

my social skills have improved immensely and my ability to express myself

i dont have a lot of fears anymore. 

so many experiences

life is so fulfilling 

im just so fucking happy. 

ive been through so fucking much, 

and something strong keeps urging me to share, share, share it all. 

i keep having this thing, these thoughts all the fucking time, that is telling me to tell people, to show people, to make people laugh, to be myself, to not be afraid, to give the world all that i am and can be, and not be afraid of failing or of what they think, but that’s the only thing that’s pulling me back. 

im underestimating myself and i have doubts about myself, and they stop me. but anyways,

I CAN SAY WHOLE HEARTEDLY THAT THIS IS THE BEST YEAR OF MY WHOLE FUCKING LIFE. 

Ive met over 40 new people 

i am over my insecurities about my legs and my nose and face 

i am over the anxiety of meeting new people 

i am over the guilt and horrible feelings i get from eating food 

my relationship with my family has improved literally 100%. 

yesterday i was working , when a guy was standing over the counter. he seemed a little drunk. i walked away and i heard “beep” so i stayed in front, incase he was trying to take money or some shit. he said “hi pet” and started saying i looked 13/14. i said no. im 16. nerly 17. he had this creepy face, kind of looking at me weirdly, and i liked the attention so i didnt mind really , so he continued saying that im a baby compared to him. he said he was 50. he said the younger years will be the best years of our life, he said to enjoy myself, and live life to the fullest. i was intrigued at this point and and after he said that if he could tell his younger self what he knew now his life would be different. i said, what’s so amazing about the 18,19,20 years? 

he looks at me with pure intent in his eyes, laughed, and said “boys.” you’ll see. 

inside i was like, i already know :) 

but i asked him, pretend i am your younger self. what would you tell me? 

he said “live life, to the fullest. go out into the world, experience it all. dont have any regrets.” and i asked “do you regret anything in your life?” and he said “i regret my whole life. “

you, know. ive often thought, that if right now, i was to die, i would not regret anything. 

not even one single thing. 

this year, i’ve taken ALL the oppurtunities i could have taken. 

last year, i didnt. TY year. that’s why i have such shit feeling about it. i was so afraid. insecure. scared of expressing myself. 

it was only after the whole experience in malaysia, my cousin, christine who really changed how i felt. 

she said “use your voice. express yourself, or the whole world would never know what you think.” 

she said “since you are young, right now, do it all. have fun. you know, all these kids, drinking, partying, having sex, when you’re older, you wont have any time for that. do it while you have time. “ 

i really took it to heart. i lived my life to the fullest these few months - july, august, september, october, november, december. see how much i wrote here? remember at the start of the year when i thought that i would stop writing, because i stop doing everything in my life, and im not consistent. even if i had stopped or a while, i wrote in my diary everyday in malaysia, i write here often, because i feel this URGE to let it out. i know, that one day when im ready, i’m going to show all of this to everyone. i dont feel ready yet. 

i want to be popular. i want to be known. because i want to inspire people and help them. i want to express myself in every way possible. i want to show people that there’s no limits- the reason  why i want to be popular is because i want people to be able to see what i m saying. i’ll be battling with this the whole of 17, im telling you. the whole of 2018. because after evrything ive been throug, this is the point of my life where it’s been the highest ever. and i want to show people how i did it. 

that’s why my instagram is more.. egotistical at the moment. i want people to notice me , drawn in by my beauty, then perhaps i can slowly show them who i am. i just.. dont know how i’m going to go about it. i cant see the path, or how i’m going to do that yet. 

god. yesterday i also talked to a fellow elder man who talked to me about his experiencces travelling around the world. in clonmel, these people are scarce, i tell you. he waas in china for a loong while and got to see the world. he went to afraica, too, singapore, thailand, malaysia, poland, romania, czech slovakia, and the lot. his wife is african. I jsut love people like that. the adventuring kind of people.
