The original idea was I was supposed to put this up every two months

PIMP MY CANON MEME


Squall Leonhart discovers Homestuck.

What?

This is the PIMP MY CANON meme, where you have the opportunity to show off your canon and perhaps even find a new one to get into!

Want to share the glory of demonic butlers? Do you need to tell people exactly what a Lombax is and how cute their tails are? (Seriously their tails are super adorable) Here is the place to do it!

OR!

Perhaps your character was given the Shoulder Touch of Camraderie™ from Serph and now you can't stop thinking about his butt Digital Devils. Or maybe you want to know what it is about Children's Card Games that makes people's hair go crazy. You can ask about them here!

How do I PIMP MY CANON?

In whatever ways you deem fit. Write summaries, link videos, screenshots, fanart, playthroughs, whatever you want! Add on to your friends' comments with additional stuff of your own!

The only thing I ask is that you not put too many large images in your post (if you have to put in a lot, make some of them links!) and link to videos rather than embed them. This is so the page doesn't take for-freaking-ever to load and doesn't become inaccessible due to oversaturation of gifs and stuff.

You may also want to keep spoilers to a minimum, but that's up to you.

Also make sure your coding works, because nothing sucks more than making a totally awesome ad for your canon only to have a missing bold tag mess it all up. Or you could edit. That works too.

Levi, why didn't you put this up last month?

Because I'm a dummy who forgets things.

Dragon Quest VIII

Most of this trailer sums up the plot without spoiling it too much, but I'm going to add a little more.

You play as a silent protagonist (canonically named Eight in Japan) who is a soldier for the King of Trodain. You/Eight with King Trode (the troll guy) and his daughter Princess Medea (the horse) set out on a journey to lift a curse placed upon not only the two of them, but the entire Kingdom of Trodain (except you/Eight for story reasons). The culprit is Dhoulmagus (the evil jester) who stole the Sceptre/Scepter of Trodain and used it to cause the curse in the first place. And as the trailer showed, you gain companions along the way (Yangus, Jessica, and Angelo) to help on your quest, each with their own reason for going after Dhoulmagus.

And that's about it since I'm not going to spoil the rest of the plot, because it's a really good game and everyone should play it. Oh, I also forgot to mention that if you couldn't tell, the character/monster designer for this game (and previous ones) is the great Akira Toriyama. Yes, that Toriyama. The same guy who created Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump, and many other works. You also get silly attack names like Lady's Thong, Sexy Beam, Sarcastic Snigger, Underpants Dance, and many more. There's also THE PUFF PUFF; as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=161W2bWG1Fg

There's also amazing voice acting, the ability to go super saiyan (aka super high tension mode), an orchestral soundtrack (yes, every piece of music in this game is an orchestra), and slapstick comedy with dramatic plotpoints that you don't seen coming. There's also awesome gameplay mechanics like an old traditional rpg (think back to older final fantasys for example). So if you like all of that and more, I again emphasize that you really should try this game out.

Gawd this is NOT helping me fend off a Jessica muse. aaaaaaaaaaah!!

(Also, Le Club Puff Puff is the best part of the game. For serious.)

[beauchevalier]

Omg I would love having a Jessica in Vatheon, ngl. If you need help voice testing, I can offer to help too!

(Also yes, the le club puff puff is the best part of the game.)

[raretalentindeed]

Man it's tempting. I'd really need to replay the game. But that is fun stuff!

[beauchevalier]

Well if you don't think you really have the time to replay the game (since I understand how long it is, really), you could always try YouTube for a quick review? I know a few places to find cutscenes and play/walkthroughs which include most if not all the party chat conversations too. I'd be more than happy to share the links as well if you're interested.

[myplaceishere]

Wrong journal, sorry about that...

But yes please! The links would be great!

[beauchevalier]

Why hello Cosmos~ But it's okay. <3 Two of the links are actually let's plays, which I hope is okay. Links four, five, six, and seven are two part playthrough lists too. Oh and while six and seven might be listed in Japanese, it's actually someone from Japan playing the English version. I also hope this is enough to help you with your reviewing, you're free to contact me if you need anymore help. <3

She's another one I have a muse for, but finding the right spot for her is something of a trick. Aaaaaaaanyway~ these are great! I really appreciate the help.

And I will probably end up pestering you for places to go icon hunting. Which means I am caving in. XD

[beauchevalier]

Do you have a plurk? You can always add me on there or I can add you. <3

As for icons; one, two, and three. I could make you icons too from HD screencaps if you'd like as well.

[raretalentindeed]

Oh gosh now you're spoiling meeeeeeee. Can I make you candies or something? :D

And on the plurk thing? Not anymore. But! I can be poked on AIM @ hearmydream, or PMed to the dreamwidth journal of the same name.

[beauchevalier]

Oh candies would be great! 8D

And you can poke me on this journal if you need me, I get notifs so I'll know when you get a hold of me. ♥

[topsseifer]

DONT FEND IT OFF. SHE IS FABULOUS <3 YOU KNOW YOU WANT HER

[raretalentindeed]
