Red Queen or Queen of Hearts?

'Alice's Adventures Underground' was always one of my favourite books. I have also fallen in love with Tim Burton's movies. I have memorised the Jabberwocky poem, but... I have not read 'Through the Looking Glass'...


I have dressed as the Queen of Hearts and called her the Red Queen for short. I see millions of people refer to the Queen of Hearts as the Red Queen, so from a young age I assumed that she had been referred to as the Red Queen in one translation or retelling...
Basically I thought they were the same person.



I was wrong.
The Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts are two completely different characters!

The Red Queen is from 'Through the Looking Glass' and is a chess piece who advises Alice on how to move after inviting her to play. This is where we also meet the White Queen.

The Queen of Hearts is of coarse the classic, murderous monarch we all know so well.

So I learnt that I need to go back and read some more classics.
Catch you later xx

Of cosplays, new experiences and downright laziness

Honestly, I feel this year has not been the most productive for me, and yet I have made a tonne of new friends, had new experiences and just recently I purchased my first sets of contact lenses for my cosplays. I've made costumes, helped my friends in times of need and even met some amazing people in the field I wish to pursue as a career. Overall one could say I've had a pretty successful year so far.

However...

My writing has fallen severely behind, I've gained more weight than I care to admit and I lack any real motivation to be productive. Its a miracle I managed to pass this year's schooling. I am disappointed in myself.

There's only one thing to do now: Make next year better.

Get ready, xox

DESTROYED BY BOOKS

Do not even get me started on books. TOO LATE.

Wow, never have I been so mad at a book... that is a lie. I always get mad at characters and occasionally authors for killing off characters I happen to love. I wont say who or what book but the fact of the matter is I get so damn invested in these figures that it physically pains me when these things happen.

I have been known to:

• throw books across the room into a beanbag (never at the wall, that could actually damage the books!)
• Start actually bawling and sobbing, becoming a blubbering mess
• Stomp out to my mother and start ranting like crazy for hours
• Start frantically texting a friend I KNOW has read the book, lots of swearing, even more capitals.

These are just a few of the more major things I do when confronted with a plot that wrecks me. I have to hand it to the authors though; if they can cause a reaction from me that intense, they clearly know their stuff. If an author can pull my heart out of my chest, cause adrenaline to course through my bloodstream or even make my anxiety play up, I personally think it is well written. 

I found a few photos that may explain how I'm feeling around now:

Yup, that's about it... xox!

Updates and change

A lot of things have changed...

Over the past month or two, I implemented a few changes in my life. Some were conscious decisions, and some random occurrences. Honestly, its been kind of a roller-coaster ride but I have survived and hopefully, things are just going to get brighter from here.

• I quit my old job
• I got a NEW job yesterday, which is an interesting story for another time
• I cut my hair short into a pixie cut
• I attended my first ever convention
• I volunteered for the first time at a convention
• I am currently doing two university courses externally and am unsure whether I am even doing it right?
• I was in a short film (thanks for the experience Tabby)
• I now occasionally play Pokemon Go! on my mum's phone ahah (Team Instinct bruh!)

And one last thing...

• I don't blog enough.

Honestly, with Uni and life, I have not been in the right mindset to write.

Love and xox!

The Hospital...

EVERYTHING IS FINE!!!!!!

And nothing bad EVER happens!* Right, short films require various locations, and Tabby directed this weekend, I just had to yell and look guilty and scared. Simple enough.

I cannot really talk much about the events of this weekend, they are Tabby's to share, but I will say, I had a tonne of fun and am excited to see the end product!

So today I am back at Uni, just had a pretty good seminar on textual interventions where a new friend and I wrote a horror script based on a concept we came up with about a love totem... Kinda freaked out the class but the concept was AWESOME and now I want to film it. Tabby, you might have started something...

Side note: How To Cake It on Youtube is amazingly interesting and are complete goals. SO many ideas! So little Talent!

*Casual RWBY Chibi reference, Yasss Nora, Bodyroll Ren!

Anyway, I'm tired, so I am going to have a nap.

Chibi Pyrrha is me when asking for food from my boyfriend...

Casual random thoughts.

Catchya Later! xox
