I remember mentioning before that my maternal grandfather's death when I was four was probably a large influence in how I became so obsessed with writing/reading/watching death, but I'm not sure I've ever mentioned the influence a Little Audrey cartoon had on my obsession for appearing dead/reviving, and h/c in general. I think I saw it when I was around the same age, or maybe when I was five.
And I can't count the number of times I've tried to say/write "Aubrie"/"Aubrey". XD; The name "Audrey" often doesn't look/sound correct to me.
I wanted to find it and link it for those interested to watch, especially since said cartoon is in the public domain now. But I can't find it. XD; I did, however, find a page with so many screengrabs, the plot is easy to put together. http://classiccartoons.blogspot.com/2007/07/i-give-you-boid-dead-and-resurrected.html
The whole concept undoubtedly must have had a huge impression on me, being so young. I remember even wanting to act it out with my plush penguins. (Not sure why I picked the penguins, except that they were among my favorite plushes. **wonders where they are now in the huge pyramid to her right.**) And I'm guessing it stuck with me all these years and fed my craving for such scenarios.
Which brings me to ... said scenario. Here is a shameless h/c blurb. Lisa and I have been plotting for the FF7 RP, and I've decided A Simple Mission in Triplicate will adopt much of the plot. But some things will be different in the fic. For instance, in the RP Cloud is probably going to be the one with Seph on the rock, but I don't want to change it from being Zack in the fic. So instead I wrote a random scene where Cloud finds them both, since their rescue was not shown in the Lava blurb. It's subject to change after the RP scenario is done.
I think my favorite line is where Cloud finally decides "... oh screw it." LOL.
( Rescue )
I was surprised to discover that K-mart has the best selection of Halloween stuff I've seen this year. They even had some rocker and punk wigs. The rocker one was all crinkly/wavy, though. I didn't really want that for Zack. The punk one would be perfect, if there was one all in black. I only saw one that was red and black. XD;Ghetto Yami Yugi costume!
They also had a gorgeous Renaissance wig that reminded me of Eowyn. X3 If I ever wanted to do a cosplay of her, it would be perfect.
