Would it surprise you to know that I had a similar thought to this within the past month? I don't think it was Legion though, I think it was a latex blob (with female bodies hanging out) that I got stuck in my head after seeing an image of that theme from RubberMatt.

Rainday randomness/possible updates - Page 34 Yes%20YES
I knew latex would be the key =)

But yeah, technically it's been an idea with me since I saw a image on Rule 34 years back (this one on DA http://fav.me/d2px13k ). I come back to it every now and then, but then I saw that pixiv image with Charlotte and along with replaying Dawn of Sorrow it finally clicked. While I was trying to write it down I thought about how to fetishize the skin and that's when latex hit me, hehehehe. But yeah, I would have no other way to really do it at the moment so RUN WITH IT! =) And yes, it did surprise me, tis FATE!

And of course, now you have me searching for a giant sphere I can use. I found something that has a giant sphere shape, but not JUST the sphere (reminds me of a grain silo or something, a set of stairs going all the way around it).

Huh, what a odd sounding object.  Right now my head is racing with Castlevania things and thoughts and forgotten trivia(like Succubi impersonating Mina in Aria of Sorrow, but in Dawn it's Yoko.  Rather interesting...  But yeah, I had forgotten how close Yoko and Mina were, and also that Celia was technically a "force of good"
Celia Fortner: We do not desire the dark lord, per se. For god to be perfectly good, there must be a being of perfect darkness.

Ideas:

Also I was farming Frozen Shades today and got their item drop http://castlevania.wikia.com/wiki/Aquarius_(Equipment)
Which lead me to think of something, what if they fake their death and become the item to get closer to a heroine and have her ultimate revenge by turning her into another Frozen Shade, or even just enslaving her and using the robe(her only equipment now) to control her with a little pain and a little pleasure, OR turning her into a lesser monster girl(like a sexfied version of Procel http://castlevania.wikia.com/wiki/Procel , except of just a head, she a full body water woman that slides arcoss the water, blows bubbles as a attack, wears a viel(not a face one, but a head one, it looks what Procel has on), and is possibly 2 or 3 times as big, turning her into a "dumb gaint" trope)...  But yeah, just writing down thoughts at this point.

Ok, I'll be moving most of these Castlevania ideas and adding a few more(which will mostly center around Yoko) to my idea thread today since I've had that stuck in my head for a while with playing Dawn of Sorrow so much. But first, Bloodstained needs some updates.

Today I will be
Reading articles about Fire Emblem Fates being "too lewd and the bisexuals are abusive/prejudiced and OMG CHARACTERS IN THEIR UNDERWEAR" while going "FUCK OFF! YOUR THE REASON CENSORSHIP HAPPENS YOU FUNNY BONELESS SHITBERGS THAT WON'T PLAY THE GAME ANYWAY AND PROBABLY DON'T EVEN OWN A 3DS!" in my head... And then I look at this a just get happy
http://raindayofmay.tumblr.com/post/122435903870/camilla-showing-off-her-allure-surely-you

While listening to the La Pucelle Tactics in a pleasurable nostalgia while also lamenting that Ragnorok never got brought over so the series is effectively dead except for the cameos Prier(e) and Eclair make in Disgaea games with their non voiced(or no dialog at all) in Disgaea games...

And finally playing some Disgaea D2 or DMC4 special additions.

EDIT: Fixed it, realized that the person doesn't post shit of their own art anymore and has no art blog, so unfollowed~

Pretty much, tumblr's like a very nice art exhibit, but there are shit talking parrots nearly everywhere. Luckily I only get some of the shit runoff thanks to following only a few people, but when one of those people parrots some false social justice bull crap about games or anime, it's

time.

Forgetting about the little things, Happy Gay Marriage day for the US
Rainday randomness/possible updates - Page 34 Homura10
Because seriously it was kinda fucked up that you couldn't see your dying loved one because you weren't legally family. But yay, more love that is no longer forbidden and more acceptance for LGBT romances.

Now to think of all the lovely yuri story arcs and a possible increase of american lesbians in manga ^__^

Not so much rough times, just didn't have my meds for one night so I didn't get much sleep, so I spent last night and most of today recovering. I'll pass on the gaming offer for now as I need to go eat and then spend the last of my Heroes of the Storm stimpack tonight, but thank you kindly dood, means a lot.

Needless popped up on Hulu, so I can do some research and find the two parts that I'm aware of(One with Kurumi in episode 7 I believe, and then the whole hooked up with a tube in your chest). Should do a few more, I might have time tomorrow, but then again I am going to watch Antman at some point. I'll get something thrown together if sloopy for a series. I have a few on the list I could do, but yeah, be sure to check out my various account for other found pics.

I starting to find myself with idle time recently, so instead of throwing that into DMC4 Special Edition/Drakengard 3/Chrono Trigger, I MIGHT TRY TO FINISH A THING! Which thing? I don't know, I have a shit ton of stuff to do. I also want to get captions rolling again, I'll see what I can do to my google drive account to allow people to upload to a folder. Also need to figure out the "limit" of a folder before it starts messing up with the loading. However, I'll be exhausted tonight, tomorrow, and possibly the day after(job then catch up day). On the bright side, I found a Love Hina anime artbook at my job, and got that(through legal means of course).

And again, since I mentioned this something might come up like it always does, so yeah, fun.

Been driving myself crazy trying to figure out where the problem is with my internet... Hook it to the router I'm getting fluctuating speeds on everything(like from 11.58mbps to .50mbps) which makes HotS non-to-barely playable and makes watching anything on the PS4(youtube, Hulu, AND ESPECIALLY funimation) sanity draining, hook it to the computer directly to the modem, get 12 nonstop, so it's like "It's the router..." Then I try directly hooking my PS4 to the modem and it's still crap... So... I'm at a loss. Not to mention all the crap that proceeded this, for some reason our account with the cable company was deleted instead of deactivated, so that could be a possible origin, their was a storm that fried the modem around that point too and it would be a week before they could replace so we got ourselves the 2nd best modem we could find(Arris SB6141), and around the time when our cable was being turned on a technician "noticed some interference with our signal and fixed it", another possibility is we capped out our bandwidth or something because "someone" torrented a freaking series that was 86 gigs! ... So yeah, all 4 are suspect... The router itself seems to be fine,(still restarts and stuff like that, and I can access it's webpage where the prompts are)... The original modem was fired through the cable, so the only way it could of effected the router if it went through the ethernet cord as well, but it is still working... Speed test are giving me varied results(especially on the ps4).
wowspeedtest is giving me 11.82 dl and 2.12 ul with 40 ping
speedtest.net is giving me 11.80 dl and 2.07 with 19 ping(but it's been flucating as well, giving me 3.2 in the previous test a ran just a few seconds ago)

PS4 gives me stuff in low mbps to kbps... I don't know... Maybe I need to get new ethernet cords, or have WOW give me a proper replacement modem or buy another new router(this ones only a few months old as the last one died of old age)... So yeah, that why I'm up at nearly 5 o'clock again(that and my stomach hates me).


I wish I was getting madman's knowledge from this but all I'm getting is a constant drain to my sanity points(mixing two systems, but whatever)

So, it's 12:34 pm... Spent most of my time watching anime since I at least got Hulu to work again(it still pauses during ads sometimes... but... progress I guess?)

... If I just knew what needed to be replaced... ... ...It shouldn't be the modem, but I am getting a error message about byte transfering not working with either it or the router... but I'm nearly positive I got the same message with the modem... As you can see, I tend to get pretty obsessed over problems like these... Well, maybe I'll have better luck tonight when I wake up and begin the process anew...

It's on automatic update thankfully, of course I tried to see if there was anything else I could download to fix another problem with my computer and had spent the last 2 hours getting my computer back to 64 bit resolution instead of 32(it removed the 64 option because of some update I installed and every time I tried to system restore it kept giving me a error message)... Thankfully I got that fixed but I'm not sure if I have it in me to continue my work on the internet right now.

OH, but I did find out that the PS4 had released a update that helped system stabilization or something and downloaded that... Didn't help at all. I might have to get a new router or something... I still have one ace in the hole though.

JUBILATION EVERYONE!

So, after days of struggling to figure out what's wrong with my internet, I have found the answer! It was what I first suspected all along, the internet signal itself! It turns out my signal is in a dynamic state of flux, so the first time I plugged in my modem directly to my pc and it was giving me constant 12s was a false positive. The signal had just been pumping at it's highest amount at the time, so that's why the customer service employee had called my router into question. At the same time this answers why plugging my modem into the PS4 directly didn't change anything. I had thought something had been wrong with my PS4, modem, and ethernet cables this whole time, but thanks to my last ditch effort last night(calling WOW and asking them to refresh my signal, only for them to check it and see the radical differences in speeds I was getting) everything has been solved!

So yeah, all it took was 7 calls to them, me agonizing over this so bad that it drove me a tad bit mad(because the answers I was getting weren't adding up at all and I had to do most of my testing at midnight+), but yeah, so happy right now. I just need to call them with info so they can send some guys over to fix it, however it's working fine right now(possibly due to the refreshed signal I asked for last night), so I'm gonna hold on that.


Series of events last night.
-After getting my resolution fixed last night I decided I was going to plug my modem directly into my computer to get the best speeds for browsing pixiv and play a match in HotS to make sure I didn't get the connecting error I had been getting
-When I did the speedtest, I I had gotten a high signal, then a low signal, and then another low signal
-Seeing this I decided to call WOW to ask them to do what they usually first offer, a refresh signal
-Upon one failed transfer call I had finally gotten in touch with them(hold times were 5-15 minutes)
-I explained my problem for the 6th time and they went to check my signal, and noticed that it had been dramatically shifting between high and low speeds
-They said they would send a person out once I had info I needed and refreshed my signal.
-Shortly after I was getting redirected the the WOW page that said my modem had not been set up
-Called again, they sent another refresh signal, only to find out that the reason wasn't working was because my area was undergoing maintenance and they would be done "in a hour"
-By that time it was 5am by this point, so I just decided to sleep instead of waiting for this "hour" to finish so I could be awake at a time where I could relay the info to my dad.
-Got woken up at 11 because it turns out I had mixed up the cables so the wifi was working
-Was able to watch Funimation on PS4 with only 1 minor problem(when I rewinded a few times the loading got super choppy, but it fixed itself once I went back to the app)
-Went to speedtest and so far it's been giving me constant 11-12s, so I'm thinking that refresh signal just might of solved it.
-When it does dip I will set up the appointment.



So yeah, probably tmi, but I'm also doing this for my own sanity's sake(logging the info). So, I'm going to pixiv to catch up on the day I missed(I didn't get to check it because the maintenance happened), but after that I'll work on getting captions up and running at the very least, I got a score system that I'm tinkering with in my head, so all I need to do is check when the loading breaks for google drive.
