The Creed

We’ve all seen it before. Really terrible cosplay. The kind that makes you squint your eyes, tilt your head in confusion and it takes way longer than the time you set aside for stupid shit to guess what they actually are

Bane’s Labyrinth – #MarvinsWeek

Since it’s Marvin’s Week, it kind’ve had me thinking about the friend zone. Something every single person on this planet has experienced at some point in time. You either ruined your chances and were sent there unknowingly, or like many others, you were born into it. Raised by it. Haunted by its cold strictly platonic aura. In a way, the Friend Zone is alot like the Cave in Dark Knight Rises that Bane talks about. At the top? Success. Your chances of a full blown relationship blossoming. At the bottom? Others just like you, yearning for freedom. Men and women alike striving to break the “homie” and “sis/bro” chains that bind them.



Every attempt you take to make “The Jump”, they chant.

“Deshi Deshi!! Basara!! Basara!!”


And every failed attempt like the example of Mary Jane in the scene above, the hope that once shined bright in their eyes, starts to darken. They want to believe in you to give hope to themselves. And you know what? like the caped crusader, some of you will get out. You WILL take your rightful place amongst the winners and share the glory that destiny has set forth for you!

But.. (And there’s always a but.)

…the majority of you will die there. You will lay in that cave much like Bruce Wayne did on that dirty old bed and watch Gotham (or in your case, the guy/gal of your dreams) in the arms of another, enjoying the happiness you so desperately sort after. And before you close your eyes and let out that shrieking cry of pure and utter dismay, that charismatic son of a bitch (in this case, Zack Morris) who took your shine will peer down on you and say…

#MarvinsWeek Edition: Jade’s Top 5 Saddest Anime Deaths

They say sadness is one of those emotions where unlike anger or happiness, there really isn’t an outlet. Oh, you can say tears. But sometimes after crying, the only thing you’ve accomplished is giving yourself a headache.

Sadness isn’t a categorically applicable emotion either. ANYTHING can make you sad, and at the drop of a dime too, and NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING makes you sadder than something you can’t change.

Tumblr Short

Sometimes I’ll come up with something so ingenious (I am tooting my own horn, thank you, so sit back and enjoy the smooth sounds of the brass) on Tumblr that I forget that only my leagues of followers on there can see it (again, a toot-toot-tooting, you know the sound).

Anyhootananny, I came up with this after my obsessive infatuation with Loki (who I affectionatly call LOK-DOGG ) and Tom Hiddleson (who we all -his fandom- call Hiddles) reached a pinacle (mere hours after I left the movie theater).

.

Hey boo.

You see I am completely infatuated. I mean look at him! Who doesn’t appreciate a “I’ll kill you while you sleep, you quivering quaking mass of uselessness” every once in a while? So as everyone was looking at Thor’s(FINE ASS), I was enthralled by Loki of Asgard. But then I began to wonder why….

Well, after about an hour of brainstorming, all conclusive reasoning boiled down to the fact he completely and exhaustively reminded me of my favorite character of all time, Mr. ‘I Don’t Give a Fuck’, himself, Ulquiorra Cifer of Hueco Mundo.

So, in a insane attempt to control the temptation of dissolving into a brown tinted glob of fangirl at my revelation, I came up with a short list. I could belabor the point but that would rescind into an aberrent level of adoration that I don’t believe the internet is ready for. It would be ugly.

So without further ado, the similarities between Loki of Asgard and Ulquiorra Cifer of Hueco Mundo.

Like I said, short list. I could go into detail and maybe one day I will, but it behooved me to share this list because at the moment I am having Loki feels (Thanks to the obsessive CULT of Hiddles on Tumblr) and needed to share.

Jade Out.
