Kuja’s Body Tattoo
A snazzy title don’t you think? Yesterday my otaku phase officially ended. At least for now. So I turned Kuja off, giving him a well-deserved rest. Since Kuja was off, his lid was in front of me and so was these:
They re leftovers from Katan’s phone crystals. I actually needed just one to replace Katan’s orange scroll button that had fallen off. But this pic was post-insignia. Hehehehe.
So, back to Kuja. Lookie here, Kuja has a HYDE insignia!
I am unsure whether these were the best choice of colours, but I suspect pink and red would clash horribly with Kuja’s peacock blue chassis. (Yes I’ve just got to say the right name too :D). It’s not exactly a Product of Eng-ness, more like a product of boredom. And besides, they are easily removable if I don’t like them anymore. And yes, I realize they are not the best of works. But I’m not really a very creative person :/. (or very careful, at that)
Last night I caught up on some reading. I finally finished Kate Thompson’s The Fourth Horseman. And man, I need to remind myself each time why I’m attracted to Thompson’s works. Her other two books I have are The Alchemist’s Apprentice and The Beguilers. My favorite of the three books is the latter. The thing I noticed about Thompson’s stories is that they are 60% self-narration pertaining the protagonist’s journey or everyday life as their adventure goes. And her character development are stupendous. That’s where Thompson shines the most. Her protagonists always end the story a whole new person, better, stronger and approach life witha fresh new perspective. And not in the magical kind of way, but through sheer hard work and determination. Something everyday people like us can always relate to. You will put down the book feeling truly inspired.
So inspired was I that I even dreamt about it last night.
Although it may seems at times that even though her stories are themed fantasy, with the hints of magic and stuff in her titles, you will always go through the story searching for that little hint of magic and wonder what could it all meant to the characters and their future even though the setting is modern day today.
Intriguing.
I have new books to buy so I want to make sure I read all that I have right now hehehe.
Ta’ra!
