CATS

Since my first entry was all serious like a bowl of angst cereal, I'd like to make this one a little more whimsical and humorous.

Let's discuss the first order of geekdom itinerary:

Motherfucking CATS.

Those felines, fluffy and adorable creatures. I love them. I gush like a freak when I see cats or kittens or both. Or plushies. Or books. Obsession doesn't cover what's wrong with me.
(Okay, I'm not one of those uncomfortable people who like to...ehm, fornicate with them. I am just a fan. I don't understand bestiality. Really, people are so much more huggable than animals. I mean, it's a much more rewarding of a relationship. What's the point in having sex with a goat? I didn't think it was possible to fall in love with an animal. It probably is, but it's just very wrong.)

Wooooooooowww, I got very off track. But, I really hate bestiality. It pisses me a mite off. And by mite, I mean I would kill people for doing such acts. Along with pedos and children murderers. People, innocence needs to have boundaries again. Let the kids live. Fuck them up when they're older. Don't be bitches and hurt them because they're the ones that can't fight back. Fucking wimps (by that, I mean the pedos and murderers) GOD.

Okay. Cats. We're talking about cats now. I'm sorry about that. I rant endlessly.
The following things are my main obsessions at the moment.
Chi's Sweet Home (the New York Time's best selling manga and anime series)
Nemu Neko (friggin adorable plushies that are from Japan. They're crane machine prizes. WHY CAN'T OUR -USA- CRANE PRIZES BE THIS AWESOME AND CUTE?!)
Cat Paradise (five volume manga)
And I'll toss in Azumanga Daioh, since I am quite the fan of Chiyo-Dad (that weird ass catesque creature, WHO I LOVE.) And Namineko (the "Biting Cat") and Maya, that Iriomote mountain cat cub that imprints on Sakaki in her senior year....

ANYWAY.

Chi's Sweet Home is about a little kitten whom was separated from her mom and siblings, and stumbles upon a new family, The Yamadas. The family consists of young son Youhei, stay at home Mom, and graphic designer Dad, whom all live in an apartment building that has a no pet policy. So many of Chi's adventures involve hiding from the building super. This series is such a simple story, yet it captures the mannerisms of cats perfectly, so I reccommend it to cat lovers and people who love really adorable things.

WARNING: There are going to be a HELL lotta pictures coming up.



















As you can see, they're fucking adorable. Nemunekos (Sleepy Cats) are from the crane machine and/or plushie manufacturing company FURYU (I'm honestly not sure). I can't believe that Japan's crane prizes are so cute, especially these. I have literally becomed obsessed with them. They're so cute. Like, SO CUUUUUUTE. I can't get over them. First time I ever saw these adorable plushies were at Genericon '11. I wanted to buy all of them, but they were so expensive. I found them again online and I look them up just to dream about buying them again. My friends joke about my obsession and say how I would never be seen again if my room were filled with Furyu nekos. That isn't far from the truth. But if I spent all of my time with them, they would soon be crushed from my body weight and aged with time. There are quite a few holes in that theory, and I am slowly working them out. Point is, they're so awesome, cute, and YOU NEED TO BUY ONE NOW.





Cat Paradise is about a teenage girl Yumi, whom attends a special school that allows cats, hence along with her comes her pet cat Kansuke. The school is founded by a man who made a deal with spirit creatures, whom most of these creatures have a vendetta against mankind. So a lot of the time, you see giant animals trying to kill students. Well, just the student council, who were granted powers by this priestess and her feline companion to protect the school and humans. The art is so different and great, the plot is good too, and it's only five volumes long. It stinks, but with the way the plot folds out quickly, I understand why it's a short series.





http://www.watchdub.com/english-dubbed/azumanga-daioh/

And Azumanga Daioh is about a group of interesting high school girls who just go through the daily goings on of high school life. Very slice of life and funny. Quirky too. The group consists of ten year old child prodigy Chiyo-chan, outrageous and excitable Tomo, brainy and sharp tempered Yomi, shy, cat-loving Sakaki, space cadet Osaka, and competive Kagura. Then there are even more crazy characters, like their homeroom teacher Ms. Yukari, lazy and eccentric, her best friend (though I don't know how she is) gym teacher Ms. Kurosawa and perverted Mr. Kimura...

You have to watch it to fully understand it. That's why it's one of my favorite animes.

But the sad thing about loving cats as I do, I can't draw them, which is such a shame. There would be at least a couple of kitty comics floating around in some of my notebooks, maybe on the web. It's a nice thought, and I have yet to find my style. Trust me, it's been a long progress.

So I stick to my glorified sticklike figures. Only one of the comics I drew up made it on to my Deviantart account. But the scanner used to transport the visual onto the interspace was not so good at capturing the good while enhancing the bad. The whole page had a sheen that makes it hard to read, the lines in the word bubbles faded, as were the drawn lines of my characters. It was just a big mess, so I didn't scan on anymore. It's name is BLiP (not to be confused with Blip, a comic about some angsty girl and spacely creatures -from what I've seen- that's wonderfully drawn) I might change the name of it. I'll figure something out. My characters are basically diffferent aspects of my personality.
BLiP- anti-social, hates people a lot of the time, and is sarcastic
CaRL- music loving, mellow yellow, and just awesometown
MauRiCe aka Mo- GAY (as in he's waaaay flamboyant and he loves my boyfriend too), whiny, and totally sweet with a fifty-eight percent chance of vindictive
DeNNY- Destructive, choatic, and adventurous
CoRN- Weird, diabolical (The D in my Diabolical title), and very different

The devil has a few cameos, and acts like the best villain, all charming and beautifully evil. I have to figure how to get them online. And then there's the of inking UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Mama don't like inking. That's why I use .5 mm mechanical pencils (preferrably Papermate Clear Points)

And so the conclusion of this blog: Everyone should like cats. And drawing is quite difficult.

And here we are

Warning: This isn't for the young people who are ages 8 and under. I believe when you hit 9 years old, you know when or when not to swear. You know your boundaries then, sometimes you don't acknowledge it and go with your urges. It's okay. And warning to people who have a hard time following a person who -persay- goes off track of the RantLikeBlog Train and takes a bus to Somethingelsetown. Trust me, it's going to possibly get weird, in the best way.



I was trying to decide if using 'Otaku' somewhere in the title to make my denomination powerful. The title tells you everything in just a small sweet sentence. That's why I like titles, well, words. And that's one of the reasons I'm a geek. By using That Diabolical Geek, it represents properly what I want from this blog. People view geekdom as a plaguelike creature, something evil. And I have this wonderful image of a geek snatching someone's cookie or another nice treat and that someone shaking their fist after them, shouting. "That Diabolical Geek!" That makes me think of a superhero geek too. So many views from such a small sentence.

Back to Otaku though. I'm not through with that just yet.

But using a term like that, people from all over the world can trip onto my page, and view it wrongly. For instance, Otaku can be a person who had no social life of any sort (a loser, if you will) and therefore has plenty of time to surf the web and watch japanese animation, aka anime. Otaku means social deviant and/or pervert. Or people who know of Miyazaki Tsutomu's story...

Yeah, I can understand why I wouldn't use Otaku either.

As much negative attitude that follows it, I still like the term Otaku, because from my world and understanding, it's just a person who geeks over anime. And by saying geek, I'm paying many compliments. Unlike a lot of not-so-normal-people-trying-to-act-normal people who make out being a geek, nerd, freak and so on, not so glamourous. I'm not looking to be accepted by people who won't admit that they're just as freaky as me. Why should I? From what I've taken from observation and the conjurings of opinions, being normal means you act like a jerk to everyone, dress like you're too easy, look down on people that aren't perfect while you avoid looking in the mirror at that same person. I know too many people like that. I've met guys that are full of themselves and totally oblivious to not knowing how not "hot" it is to thinking you're the shit. I know girls who make fun of someone for being fat while at the same time complaining how fat they are. I'm a big girl, and my sister (who is also big) has a friend (who is not so big AT ALL) that complains about how fat she is. She's beautiful, but doesn't know it. But at the same time, she gussies herself up and goes out to bars looking like a hooch. People most of the time don't make sense.

My sister. Her friend. I can't get started on them. I'll save it for the next blog.

So, I've concluded, purely from observation: Being a geek means being yourself, and being yourself is so bad for your health.

Bullshit. I love how there are shows like Glee, music about staying true to yourself, and life coaches that empower people to be themselves...And yet, there's still a good chunk of human kind that look down on other people. Egos are as common as eggos. Kids have been catching the disease of ego, already preying on the kids that just want to be friends. I'll admit that there are some very strange people out there, some becoming lawyers or murderers, or murderous lawyers. That'd be a pretty sweet plot on Criminal Minds.

I have a habit of spiraling completely off track. Try to keep up, kids.  Besides, the one or two liners give your eyes a break from the paragraphs. That's why they're here. For your eyes' pleasure.

But with the territory of strange people, come from stranger people who find strange people. Sad thing is people don't know how strange they really are. That's why we have the folks who believe they're above eveyone. They refuse to accept that they're weird, like everyone else and not like everyone else.

To the point: I want to use this blog as a better network for Diabolical Geeks like me. Maybe recruit some DG babies. They can start in the closet, and then rocket catapult out of there and geek out with me. With everyone.

And now I leave you kids for a bowl of mushroom soup. Because mushrooms are my soulfood. Along with chocolate goods and other delightful things I'll mention another day.


Catch ya later, kiddies....Kitties... Geekies...

I'm calling you bitches DG Kitties, because cats are awesome. <3
