Three Days Grace



Hello everyone! Today I'm going to talk about the first bad I truly loved, when before I'd listen to whatever the radio played.  I first heard one of their songs 'Never Too Late' on an AMV on Youtube. I ended up listening to all of their songs which then lead me to other amazing bands.



One of the main things I love about this band is that their songs aren't about sex like most pop culture now a days is. Their songs are touching and on current issues like bulling and mental health. 

When I first started to get into this band and listen to it on my phone people would shout at me and tell me "Turn that shit off!" I didn't know why people never liked this kind of music but it didn't bother me, I just don't play it around anyone which leads me to being alone a lot. Still, I'd prefer to have little friends who have similar tastes to me than a heap full of friends and having to be fake. Thank you for reading and see you next week...hopefully.

Dan claimes that his channel is an Internet Support group as he shares his awful experiences such as how he got fired from his job, how he relies on the elderly and how he humiliates himself in public. Dan does not fail to amuse me and many other 2,000,000+ people in the world. Here is one of my favourite videos by him which by chance is his most recent one!

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya


Hello everybody! I've recently posted four animated movies to here is my streak of animes! The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is the second anime I watched and I have mixed feelings about it. One one hand I found it pretty exciting but on the other hand I thought it was unbelievably boring!


The story follows the narrator and protagonist Kyon, a cynical and incredulous student entering high school, who is dragged along by the title character, his classmate Haruhi Suzumiya. She is an eccentric girl seeking supernatural phenomena and figures such as alienstime travelers and espers. She establishes, with his reluctant help, a club to investigate mysterious events, the SOS Brigade, and recruits three additional members: thelaconic bibliophile Yuki Nagato, the shy and timid Mikuru Asahina, and the friendly transfer student Itsuki Koizumi. These members soon reveal themselves to Kyon as the extraordinary characters Haruhi, who is unaware of her own destructive reality warping power, is seeking. The three additional members have been sent by their various organizations to observe Haruhi and prevent these powers from being unleashed, leaving to Kyon the task of maintaining for Haruhi the illusion of a normal life. - Took from Wikipedia


I am going to talk about the main characters very briefly since I can't decide which characters to single out!


Haruhi is a bright, energetic and athletic high-school student. Many male students consider her attractive. She alternates between melancholy and incredible optimism, often unpredictably. Haruhi is indeed stubborn and doesn't like to admit her mistakes, usually blaming other people. Also, she gets angry very easily, being an irascible and impulsive person. Her behavior was considered eccentric, and she had little interest in her classmates, at least until Kyon "convinced" her to form the SOS Brigade. Afterward, she became more mentally stable and gradually connected with schoolmates in club activities. Haruhi is a God.



Kyon is very sarcastic, quite intelligent and can be very observant, despite his average grades. Kyon's real name is never known along with his little sister's also. Throughout the series Kyon is the narrator. Kyon is the only normal human being in the SOS Brigade.

Yuki has a very stoic and introverted personality, preferring simple body language rather than speaking. When prompted to speak, she does so in a very concise manner, always speaking in a monotone and displaying a dispassionate expression. She thinks very rationally, and finds it difficult to communicate with normal humans due to her intelligence and lack of empathy. She enjoys reading, and is seen reading a book in the majority of her appearances, typically of the science fiction or mystery genres. As the series continues, she displays an enjoyment of computer games and develops a sense of humor, although her unchanging facial expressions make it near-impossible to discern whether she is joking or not. Despite her reserved manner, she is reliable and trustworthy. Though seemingly cold and devoid of emotions at first glance, Yuki subtly shows a genuinely warm care and concern for her fellow SOS Brigade members. Yuki is the Alien in the SOS Brigade.

A shy and timid girl with a childish naïveté, Mikuru is depicted as kind, caring and thoughtful. She easily gets scared or flustered, more so in times whenever Haruhi is involved and makes her do embarrassing things. Apparently prone to daydreaming, she can also be rather clumsy at times. Nevertheless, she can be surprisingly resilient and is capable of recovering from even the most discomforting of situations as seen when Haruhi "teases" her. However, because of her gentle nature, she seems rather helpless most of the time. Kyon sees it as his duty to always watch over and protect her; although when it comes to Haruhi there is little to no rescue. However, at one point Koizumi states that Mikuru was chosen by the time-travelers for her beauty and for her ability to seduce Kyon, given that he is the only person whom Haruhi will listen to. Her helpless look when she willingly submits to Haruhi's unreasonable demands is part of her role. It's all so Kyon takes notice of her in order to control the group dynamic within the SOS Brigade. Mikuru is the Time Traveler in the SOS Brigade.


Ignore Haruhi's head!
Itsuki is constantly smiling and always speaks in a formal and polite manner. He is also prone to giving long and detailed explanations, usually illustrated by exaggerated hand gestures. Itsuki has confirmed to Kyon once that his outer personality is merely an artificial image he fakes in accordance to Haruhi's impression of him, and hints that his true character is something quite different, being "less pleasing" in the eyes of others. Maintaining his casual, constantly smiling self, however, is vital for keeping Haruhi's mentality balanced. Kyon himself thinks that he prefers seeing him smiling instead of looking melancholic, although the feeling makes him uncomfortable. Itsuki is the Esper in the SOS Brigade and my favorite character.






Now as usual there is always shipping in fadoms and I usually support 2 or 3 different pairings. Not in this one however, my little yaoi heart can only accept Itsukyon, Itsuki and Kyon. Here is a couple of pictures!




Now to end this post I give you the Hare Hare Yukia dance from the ending credits! This is not the official Full ending but nothing's wrong with it =w=

Rise of the Guardians


Hi guys! I never posted yesterday cause I was at a friends house. So last in the list is Rise of the Guardians which was released in November 2012. This is an amazing movie about our childhood hero's!

The spirit of winter, Jack Frost, is lifted with no previous memory from the depths of a frozen pond by the Man in the Moon, only to discover that no one can see, hear, or touch him. Three-hundred years later, at the North Pole, Nicholas St. North, better known as Santa Claus, becomes aware that Pitch Black, the Boogeyman, has returned and is threatening the children of the world. After alerting fellow Guardians the Tooth Fairy/Toothiana (Tooth for short), the Easter Bunny/E. Aster Bunnymund, and the Sandman(Sandy for short) to the problem, North learns that Jack has been selected by the Man in the Moon as the new recruit. Jack, frustrated and hurt by centuries of isolation, declines the invitation, but North persuades him to cooperate by explaining their mission and the looming threat.


Meanwhile, Pitch and his nightmare minions raid Tooth's palace, taking all the children's teeth and the memories stored within. He also captures Toothiana's helper fairies, but a single fairy, Baby Tooth, is rescued by Jack. Resentful that he himself is not believed in, Pitch plans to destroy children's faith in the Guardians and thereby weaken them by preventing Toothiana from doing her work. To avert this, the Guardians travel the world collecting teeth, promising Jack that when they find Pitch, they will help him regain his own baby teeth, and through them the memories of his past life. On the expedition, a young boy named Jamie Bennett is delighted to discover the Guardians in his room; he believes in all of them except for Jack, whom he cannot see. Pitch learns of the Guardians' resistance and attacks Jack and Sandy. Despite Jack's efforts to save him, Sandy is overwhelmed and seemingly killed by Pitch.


The dejected Guardians rally by helping Bunnymund prepare his eggs for Easter. Although slightly complicated by the intrusion of Jamie's sister, Sophie, the preparation goes smoothly. Jack takes Sophie home, but afterward a mysterious female voice lures him to Pitch's lair, where Tooth's fairies and the teeth are being held. Pitch keeps him distracted with the promise of his teeth's memories, while Jack's absence allows the nightmares to raid Bunnymund's domain, shattering all the eggs and destroying the children's belief in the Easter Bunny.


After facing the disappointed Guardians, a despondent Jack departs in disgrace to Antarctica. There, Pitch tempts him to join forces, but Jack refuses, claiming that he does not want to be feared. In retaliation, Pitch threatens to kill Baby Tooth unless Jack relinquishes the source of his power, his staff. Pitch breaks the staff, and he throws both Jack and Baby Tooth down into an ice crevasse, where Baby Tooth convinces Jack to unlock his memories in an attempt to counter his despair. Long ago, his memories teach him, he was a mortal teenage boy who died saving his little sister from falling through the ice of the pond in which he awakened at the film's start. Because of that sacrifice, the Man in the Moon changed him into a spirit and chose him as a Guardian. Inspired by the revelation, Jack restores his staff and returns to help the Guardians.


Due to the power of Pitch's nightmares, only one child (Jamie) still believes. Jack races to the boy first and strengthens Jamie's wavering faith in the Guardians, but by creating snow in Jamie's room, he causes the boy to believe that Jack Frost is real. Jamie is finally able to see him, much to Jack's delighted surprise. The weakened Guardians arrive to confront Pitch, while Jamie gathers his friends to support them. Pitch's seemingly overwhelming power proves no match against the children's faith, which allows the Guardians to battle the Boogeyman. Sandman is resurrected by this belief and joins the fight, leaving Pitch defeated, the children's faith restored, and Jack with believers of his own. Pitch is conquered by his own fear, and the nightmares drag him away into his lair.


At this victory, Jack accepts his place as the Guardian of Fun and resolves to protect the world's children with his new friends.

I am a total Believer! No, not a Beliber you spazzies! Even though I was told at a very young age that Santa wasn't real and I discovered my dad had ALL of my baby teeth. I was never told about the Easter bunny or the Sandman OR Jack Frost! Even after all those things I still believe! Anyway, I'll leave this and I'll see you next time with an Anime Post!

Brave


Hey guys! I told you I'd post today didn't I? Now once again this post is going to be quite short since there a no mini movies to talk about and I've already written about the only main character, this will just have the plot summary and a couple of videos. Brave was released in November 2012, plus it's based in Scotland where I come from!


In Scotland, a young Merida of Clan Dunbroch is given a bow by her father King Fergus for her birthday. While practicing, Merida encounters a will-o'-the-wisp. Soon afterwards, Mor'du, a giant demon bear, attacks the family. Merida escapes along with her mother Queen Elinor while Fergus fights off the bear at the cost of his left leg. Years later, Merida has become a free-spirited 16-year-old and an older sister of identical triplets: Hamish, Harris and Hubert. Elinor informs her that she is to be betrothed to one of her father's allied clans. Reminding Merida of a legend about a prince who ruined his own kingdom, Elinor warns her that failure to marry could harm Dunbroch, but Merida is dissatisfied with the arrangement.
The clans of Macintosh, MacGuffin and Dingwall arrive with their first-born sons to compete in the Highland Games for Merida's hand. Merida announces she is eligible to compete for her own hand as the first-born of Clan Dunbroch and defeats each of her suitors in an archery contest, which she chose. Merida's actions cause an argument with Elinor before storming out. At the forest, Merida comes across the will-o'-the-wisps and is led to the hut of an elderly witch posing as a wood carver. The old woman tries to deny that she is a witch, but after some bargaining, the witch agrees to give the princess a spell to change her mother's mind in the form of a cake.
Merida returns to the castle and gives Elinor the cake, but instead of changing her mind about the marriage, it transforms her into a large black bear. Realizing she has made matters worse for herself, with the help of her brothers, Merida and Elinor return to the witch's now deserted cottage since Merida bought the witch's carvings with her necklace where they discover that the spell will be permanent unless undone before the second sunrise. The witch leaves Merida a riddle, mentioning that she must "mend the bond torn by pride." Merida and Elinor warmly bond together as they search for food. After encountering the wisps again, the two follow them to ancient ruins and encounter Mor'du, who they discover was once the prince in Elinor's legend who received a similar spell from the witch. Merida vows to her mother that she will not let her become a wild animal like Mor'du. Having torn a hole between herself and her mother on her family tapestry and their family bond in anger, Merida theorizes that she can reverse the spell by repairing the tapestry.
At the castle, the clans are on the verge of war, but Merida quells their fighting and, with the encouragement of her mother, the princess states that the children should be allowed to get married in their own time to whomever they choose. The clans agree, renewing and strengthening their friendships and breaking tradition. Merida then sneaks into the tapestry room with Elinor, who is losing control of her human self. Fergus enters the bed chamber and is attacked by Elinor until she regains human consciousness. After Elinor races out of the castle in desperation, Fergus, thinking that the queen was killed by Mor'du, pursues the bear. With the help of her brothers, who have transformed into bear cubs by eating the cake, Merida rides after her father while sewing up the tapestry. The clan members and Fergus capture Elinor, but Merida intervenes just before Mor'du attacks. Just as Mor'du is about to kill Merida, Elinor saves her and a menhir crushes Mor'du to death, releasing the prince's spirit.
At the second sunrise, Merida realizes the true meaning of the witch's riddle after placing the tapestry over Elinor and she reconciles with her mother. The queen is transformed back along with the triplets, and the family is reunited. A few days later, Merida and Elinor are sewing a new tapestry together of Merida and Elinor as a bear until they are called to the docks to say goodbye to the Lords. Then they both ride on their horses and journey around Scotland making their bond stronger than before.


Also I'd like to show you guys these clips!






Bye guys! I bet you know what's coming next!
