attention duelists
Kinda disappointed in the responses to my last entry.

Let me make one thing clear. I will make videos with whoever I want. If I want to make a video with WhiteAsh, I will make one. If you don't like WhiteAsh for whatever silly reason, don't watch the video. Don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do with my own spare time. I'm not a professional animator or voice actor. I can associate myself with whoever I damn well please.

In other news, I'd like to announce that both episodes 43 and 44 are going to be premiering at Youmacon 2009. Yes, you heard me right. I've been working hard on both of them, and I'm extremely happy with the results. Especially 44, which is baffling because it's Ishizu vs Kaiba. Of all the duels to produce laughs, I didn't anticipate that one being a chucklefest.

Also, panto auditions start today. Tonight it's the singing auditions, which I'm not placing TOO much importance on, since I'm hoping I can get by with either a non-singing role or a role that doesn't require me to be a great singer.

I really, really hope they cast me as the villain this year.

Good on you! I barely know you except through your work and blog, so I wouldn't dream of telling you who to associate with. Those that do... shame on them. Unfortunately such part of the cult of celebrity that you'll be stuck with for quite some time (based on personal tales I have been told from the founders of RuneScape, at least...)

Good luck tonight!
12th-Oct-2009 02:43 pm (UTC)
Thankyou.
12th-Oct-2009 02:44 pm (UTC)
Wow! :D I'm very excited to see the episodes at Youmacon! This will be fun! :D
12th-Oct-2009 02:45 pm (UTC)
The internet is unforgiving, and as such, will not accept what doesn't please anon. But in my opinion, WhiteAsh isn't bad as such she just needs to practice a bit more. Just because she's not perfect doesn't mean there isn't a possibility she can improve over time with a little more practice. I'm sure if she tries hard enough, she'll get better as time goes on.

Man, I'm trying to remember the Ishizu/Kaiba duel. From what I do remember, I'm hoping there's a lot more Giant Rock jokes.
12th-Oct-2009 02:51 pm (UTC)
There's ONE giant rock line, and it's fairly small. I didn't wanna rely on old gags for these eps.
12th-Oct-2009 02:49 pm (UTC)
I'm sorry I've caused you so much trouble. I honestly never meant for something like the videos we do to cause such a storm.

ALSO, knock everyone's socks off at the panto. :D

I don't have a live journal so I have to post as an anonymous person but thankfully I don't share any of the views of those other insensitive twats. I just thought I'd tell you that I personally like your stuff a lot and I like when you team up with LK. So just keep doing what you're doing and have fun with it and don't pay any attention to the whiners.

Damn fanboys are always saying "DO THIS AND IF U DUNT I H8 U"

You can do whatever you friggn' feel like, so don't feel rushed. :3
12th-Oct-2009 02:55 pm (UTC)
I'm sorry, what? I don't think I saw the last entry you made, but if peole did what you say they did, then I'm both disappointed and disgusted. Since WHEN do others have the right to say who you should and shouldn't work with? As you said, if it makes them that unhappy, they just shouldn't watch; not run to your LJ and bother you with stupid comments on how unhappy it makes them that you worked with someone. What's worse, I'm sure it doesn't make WhiteAsh feel good, either. Ugh.

And I wish you luck getting the role you want. :D
12th-Oct-2009 02:58 pm (UTC)
Even if you were a professional animator or voice actor, your "fans" would still have no fucking business telling you what you can and can't do. That's just stupid.

People need to get over themselves and get lives of their own, instead of attempting to hijack yours.

Looking forward to the new eps. And wish you all the best with your auditions.
12th-Oct-2009 03:01 pm (UTC)
beh, man, the videos you do are for your own sake, enjoyment and satisfaction first and foremost. Whoever you enjoy doing them with is your own choice, and the result of doing it with people you like is a better overall synergy between actors anyway. The Metal Gear videos have been amazing and hilarious, and I think it is great that you are doing them because more people need to know about hiimdaisy's comics. It is your choice to post any video you make for the internet to see, and I for one am grateful that you do, as they have saved my bad days and improved my good days more times than I can count.

On_a_corndog does a great job in the vids, so damn right don't let anybody tell you otherwise and keep on making them.
12th-Oct-2009 03:25 pm (UTC)
Break a leg!

Once again, great song choice.
12th-Oct-2009 03:36 pm (UTC)
Have a good time.
12th-Oct-2009 03:37 pm (UTC)
Because some people out there are retarded. Simple as that really. Good luck otherwise.
12th-Oct-2009 03:45 pm (UTC)
I'm sorry it seems like your journal has become a flame board of anon poo-heads. I guess people just don't know when quit or to stop shoving their opinions down everyone's throat. I guess it would just be best to ignore them. But, I'm sorry people are giving you crap for having fun. :< I think your work is better when we know you're having fun. ;;

But knock them to their feet and sweep their socks off, or something like that. XD; Good luck in any case!

People should not ever tell you what you can and can't make. Especially if the videos are... ya know... GOOD. Sheesh.

YOU GO LK!!! show em who's boss

Here's how life works: No matter who you are, no matter what you're doing, there will always be someone lying in the weeds waiting you cut you up. You could be Mother Teresa, saving the poor of Calcutta, and there would still be some anonymous LJ poster insulting you.

You're providing free entertainment to the world. That's a good thing. You've got thousands of people rooting you on and supporting you, and one or two anonymous users trash talking your work. Don't sweat it, seriously.

Good luck with the panto. I'm sure you'll be amazing.

"You could be Mother Teresa, saving the poor of Calcutta, and there would still be some anonymous LJ poster insulting you. "

That made me crack up. Since you summed up everything I could say much better than I could say it---DITTO.

When is Youmacon? I hope it's not too far away. Seeing the abridged eps always brighten my day!

Oooh, serious actor stuff? What song are you going to audition with?

(As far as monologue, it might be unprofessional as hell, and I'd probably advise against doing it, but how funny would it be if you did the one from Art in the abridged voices?)

And fanbrats are really annoying. I don't understand how people can't abide by the "don't like, don't watch" philosophy of media.

It's October 29th - November 1st in Detroit, Michigan.

As much as I <3 your voice I prefer the Comics just by themselves. (I make up the voices :P)

A WHOLE NEW WORLD~

LK, when you get all badass and defend yourself it make me feel all fuzzy. So many people are too polite to really stick it to the people being fussy about what the people who provide their FANTASTIC and FREE entertainment do with their time. I'm glad you are so different.

Also, I continue to think your work is hilarious. I cant wait to have more! (but I will do so patiently, because i'm a well-behaved little fangirl...can has treat?)

Oh! and good luck on your audition!
12th-Oct-2009 04:14 pm (UTC)
damn straight you can do whatever you want. [i just read the comment war and holy hell there are so many more important things in the world to be arguing about]

good luck on your auditions! [curious...why is it called Panto and not Aladdin?]
13th-Oct-2009 06:50 am (UTC)
Panto is short for pantomime. A panto is a style of performance... Usually over the top and constantly breaks the forth wall (although not always... It depends on who is doing it)They are also quite often based on fairytales... Aladdin is just what they are performing in the panto style... I have been in Cinderella, Robin hood, Sleeping beauty and Aladdin... this year I am in Beauty and the beast =)

You're absolutely right LK, anyone who doesn't like the fact you have a life outside the abridged series obviously doesn't give a crap about you. Just ignore people like that, and good luck with the panto.

We're sorry Hokag... erm I mean... Little Kuriboh.
I mean, I didn't say anything and didn't mind but I still feel guilty for being part of the fandom that was responsible. *goes into a corner and cries*

*Reads news about 2 new eps on Youmacon* HORRAY!!!!!!!!!!!


Good luck with the role
12th-Oct-2009 04:35 pm (UTC)
Who in their right mind doesn't like WhiteAsh? She's so funny! ("When I grow up, I wanna be a mermaid" - instant classic!)

But, wow. working on BOTH?! great work!

I understand how you feel about old jokes, but one giant rock? Come on! *laughs anyway*

I wonder how many Kaiba's crotch jokes there will be...also, how many more dead puppies should we expect? You've killed about 9903.
12th-Oct-2009 04:56 pm (UTC) - So Um.
What's a panto? I haven't been in the theater world in a few years, and I think I remember someone saying it's a Brit thing? But I can't for teh life of me remember what it is.

Other than that... ALADDIN! W00t! And two new eps?

Lots and lots of luck leg-breaking fun to you! (Not that you need it, I'm sure)
12th-Oct-2009 06:10 pm (UTC) - Re: So Um.
It's not just British, although most of the places where it happens are former UK colonies or have close links to the mother nation. :)

Basically, it's a development of the Commedia del'Arte, but in a much more light-hearted vein. There are very strong character archetypes, including the principal boy (the hero, usually played by a girl), the dame (a man in drag), pantomime animal (two players in a suit) and the villain, usually accompanied by two comedic sidekicks.

There is always a lot of audience participation (there is no fourth wall to speak of, especially for the dame and villain, who address the audience as often as other cast members) and plenty of participation from the crowds. Classic tropes are the audience attempting to draw the hero's attention to the villain's presence ("HE'S BEHIND YOU!") and a disagreement between the villain or dame and the crowd ("OH NO HE ISN'T" / "OH YES HE IS!"). In all cases, maximum volume is encouraged from the audience, hence the caps. :)

The most common pantos include: Cinderella, Dick Whittington, Jack and the Beanstalk, Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty and Mother Goose. Snow White is less common due to the requirement for dwarves, and Rapunzel and the Three Bears both crop up from time to time.

The Wikipedia article on them has more info, but that's a basic breakdown. :)

I like your Metal Gear Solid videos. They are a nice break from the abridged series, and it's great to see you practicing your vocal talents. (Not to mention you do a great job at pulling off Snake's voice.)

Other than that, break a leg and have a great audition! I can't wait to see episodes 43 and 44 when you get back.
