Use of "and" and two-action sentences
I don't know what exactly led me to pick up that habit, but lately I've noticed I can't seem to leave any sentence to a single "action" or description. It's always "Character smiled and took a deep breath" or "He jumped so high, his head reached the clouds, and he could've sworn he was flying." or "She said, before picking up her sweater and throwing it across her shoulder."
Anyone else has the same problem? What's your take on it? I mean, sometimes it's a necessary description/device/whatever - I'm not exactly super knowledgeable about the jargon here -, but the overuse is just starting to creep me out. Where have I picked up that silly trait?!
*From someone also struggling to steer away from run-ons xD*

Story-writing vs event depiction
It’s a bit of a self-criticizing moment here, but I just read over the latest bit I wrote for Code Meteor and was like. “Uh. No flow… What?”
It’s also a gripe I have with some people who claim they write fiction and you read it over and just go. “Oh. cool. So this happened, uh?”
I guess what I’m trying to say is, what makes the difference between a...

It just came to mind
That I haven’t actually done one of these “Go stalk me!” posts yet. There are links to do so on my page if you’re interested! lol (Last.fm, deviantart, FF.Net and fictionpress… mostly? Well here, I’m lazy but I’ll give ‘em to ya anyway).
I’m Krokador everywhere, basically, and I doubt anyone else has stolen that name. Yet (let me know if they...

Fire Emblem 30 Day Challenge
Day 8: The character you spent the entire game wishing they would get killed off already.
Makalov. It’s just that simple. What would possess the creators of FE to make this bozo?! Not only is he a terrible unit, he looks incredibly stupid. I mean pink hair and a stupid look on his face?! And look as his donkey, er, I mean horse. Sorry, but it looks...

Roach on the bathroom wall.

/cue banshee!shriek and running for the can of Raid + a baseball bat.
*YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!*
Those are the worse. Then every time you feel the tiniest itch you think it’s the bug/roach crawling up on you and it leads to another banshee shriek and pointless flailing xD
Be brave!

Signs and my crazy analytic brain
This is another personal post. I’m going to grace you with a read more link so you can just scroll along if you’re not interested.
I take it if you’re still here, than somewhere along the lines you care a little.
This, is the story of me and my best friend Steph.
It started basically during my 10th grade. We were in the same french and Phys. ed. class (french being our first...

I HATE WORKING AT SUBWAY SO MUCH.
bwaylovex3:
I worked my first shift of the summer today and I already wanna quit. Why are people so rude about their sandwiches?! Calm down and be nice, please. I wanted to throw knives at most of the customers today. And then right when my shift was about to end the store got slammed and I ended up staying an hour over. WORST JOB EVER. Never work at Subway, you guys.
Reblogged for the...

What the?
Same level or so, Nephenee w/ Iron Lance > Ike w/ Ragnell
(Well okay, Nephenee was next to Mia the whole chapter so support A level = kickass too lol)
I shouldn’t’ve left both of them together though. I just noticed I left Tibarn’s team with Rolf & Oscar as only top tier units (and that was with bonus exp) :/
Either way, finally nearing the end of Radiant Dawn!

Good photoshop - You get the point across. Because of all the weird hair colors/styles, it is hard to make a good believable appearance of some characters. Plot idea’s good, but I imagine half the Mercs would side with the laguz against the prince.
Well, the prince himself would mean no harm to them...

Behold Odiluke the vagabond! (tomorrow!)
This is one heck of an oddball char I’m working on. I have no idea if his stats would actually workout in-game, in fact. Does anyone have a template where I can just put numbers and insert a character image to make it look like an actual Fire Emblem character stats screen? Or should I go find one from Radiant Dawn and tinker with it?

Weird 'Which FE7 character are you' quiz →
krad-eelav:
krokador:
It’s actually kinda lame, but I had to take it… And my #1 match is Sain?! lol
I got Renault + then Canas. :D (Surprisingly accurate..)
And is it just me, or does anyone else want to shoot the makers of the quiz when they misspell words? D:<
Oh, I’m right there witcha! And thanks for correcting the link, I should’ve noticed it was a Blazing Sword...
You know what I dream of?
polygamistpancreas:
A society in which people don’t need to come out. Where there’s no such thing as gay marriage, just marriage. Where it’s not assumed that you’re straight, and you don’t have to make it obvious that you’re not.
I hate that people have to come out. I hate that it matters.
I’d love it if you could be who you were, no assumptions, no pretenses, no judgment.
This. About...

Been spending tonight
reading an old fic of mine after curiously browsing through the reviews. Looking for that spark that sent me ablaze in the writing of Code Meteor, I guess. If you’re into Naruto’s Ino/Sakura pairing at all, it’s basically my best fanfic - although that’s not saying much.
Also, my arms were too sore to try to draw…

silentmercenary replied to your post: Something that makes me sad…
I know how it feels, even though I haven’t lost much, but my pants are falling, my shirts are ok though.
Oh, my pants have been falling for quite a while now. But at least I can put on a belt and pretend up to a point. Shirts, not so much. Especially with how windy it’s been recently xD

Something that makes me sad...
Losing fat and getting fit is all nice and swell. I feel much better about me, and in general.
But none of my XL shirts fit me anymore. They look and feel like parachutes. A pain to workout with. I’ve had these t-shirts forever D: Or less ever (like my Bullet Bill shirt, dammit). *snif*

Common Sensism
Let’s make something clear from the get go: I have absolutely nothing against people who believe in a religion. As long as they’re not idiots about it. I don’t mean to attack any of you guys’ beliefs. It’s the system I have a gripe with.
It’s always the system.

Tongue Tied, a Nephenee/Heater fanfic →
krokador:
Um, I gotta get going to bed so I’ll spare you the “It’s not that great” ramble I wrote in the Author’s Note at the end anyway. The fanart I wanna do inspired this. But I feel like I started a bit too far in to make it work as well as I wanted.
And here it is again. Yes. Just… read it if you want. I put a T rating but really, unless “Mia cut off a head” requires parental guidance, the...

woot! Are you on ff.net? I have, like, 2 stories on there. Well, 1.5. One isn’t done yet :P
I am. I have a bunch of Ino/Sakura fics that date back to forever ago. + 1 of warehouse 13 and Castle. And this one’s going to join the fray when I’m done with it :P There’s a link to my profile on my page *epitome of...
