Omg. This is so much easier than sneaking messages on my mobile. Haha
You're too kind. 8D How's Belleville?
oh im back in ottawa now! i had to work today haha
i was just leaving belleville when i said bye this morning
Good! It's just started really
How was work? Is the new project okay?
ah right its still really early
the new projects fine, i spent two hours in a meeting talking about the style of it though which means i havent accomplished much today
Well It's past 9. No classes yet though. Ahhh. Meetings where you aren't getting paid suck a lot. Was it at least useful?
oh youre 14 hours ahead of me now ok haha. i always forget you dont do the time change there
and yeahh. im hoping its useful, he showed us a lot of examples of what he wanted
Yeah. Japan is too stubborn. Even though it gets dark ridiculously early here.
They tried it and people didn't like it so they changed back.
well i mean its dark at like 4 here now, the hour change made that worse haha
and time change weeks often have a huge uptick in heart problems in the ER
yeah it's cute! here ill find a promo
Wow! I had no idea it increased heart problems... just stress?
yeah i think its stress? it messes up the bodys circadian rythym
but yeah heres a short from the new show! im on season two so theres lots of it out already i think haha
One of my little sisters loves these kind of shows. I'll have to see if she watches it! It's so cool that you're animating for Nikelodeon though!!!
yeah!! Nick's a pretty cool company to work for
(certainly better than the big D
)
I'm trying not to fangirl over you, but you're so cool. ;o;
I have to go to Music class.
Ohhh, and btw, let me know if there is anything you want to do/happen with the AU we have!
sorry i didnt reply this weekend! its been busy
No. There is no pressure. I was busy too! 8D
Music two lessons in a row. 8D Lucky me!
i hope theyre good at music!
They are. We play ridiculous hand clapping and rock scissor paper games
And I just need to smile at them and they're happy.
aww thats so cute ;v; little babies
Im worried scottish kids will be harder to impress. Haha
Reading the news is terrifying.... I just feel ill the more i think about it. Brexit, Trump, the rise of far right parties in Europe.
im sure youll do great with the scottish kids too!
and yeah... i dont even know what to say about the state of the world anymore
Canada has its head screwed on though! :3
hah we pretend we do at least
its dangerous how many people pat themselves on the back for canada being better even though we're just as bad in some specs
That's even scarier. When people aren't aware... It's a big wake-up call, but for the rest of the world they're now well aware of just how broken America is just now
yeahh at least that is true
i just wish we didnt have to burn everything to the ground to realize it
in good news however my cat is very warm and soft
He must act like a little heater
when he decides to lay on me he definitely is haha
In April I will be reunited with my cat!
Okay. So, apparently the person who is hired to read Japanese in my office can't read Japanese...
I am confused and angry, because they make more than me. Haha
Yeah. He can't do his job....
he literally cant do the thing he was hired to do then how tf did he get hired
I have no idea. The girl before him did leave fairly suddenly....
Although, another coworker I have said she could speak and write Japanese fluently. She can't, she got her daughter to write her CV
I think it's just how my work place hires people? hahahahaha
I'm just gonna scream into my pillow. Hahahhaha
im sorry i fell asleep again x.x
but wow your school apparently sucks at confirming peoples skills :/ youd think theyd interview someone and realize immediately
and brexits a fucking mess x.x
It's the board of education.... so I think it's even worse?!? Maybe?
I need to wake up 10 minutes earlier. ;;
It's getting cold so it takes me about 10 minutes to leave bed.
ahh ;v; the winter has started its painful overtaking already huh
Maybe closer to autumn? Cold in the morning and warm by the afternoon, if it's sunny!
well thats not too bad then!
its ok, just working away
i seem to be doing alright at posing for the new show, so thats good
Yay! That's great.
well i still gotta animate it too
but yeah means hopefully this week wont be so bad for cash
also im sorry my reply is taking so long, im kinda stuck on how francis shoudl react
That is fine. I could change my reply. He doesn't need to get sad at the end. Haha.
I dunno why I added that. Haha.
Also, we should do a more light hearted scene on here!
haha no its a good reply i just dunno how francis would handle it
Maybe at a point where Gregory understands enough to get that Francis is teasing him, but not nearly good enough to snap back efficiently
All the things I'm thinking of end up with sexy times. Haha ;n; Like massages, and bathing and dressing/undressing Francis. My mind is in the gutter this morning
ohoho well you know i wouldnt say no
Which one sounds the most appealing? pfft
i like all of em! which are you leaning towarsd?
I think Gregory would quite like baths. Because I can't imagine he ever had access to a hot bath before meeting Francis
haha oh thats true, he'd likely be used to room temp water at best
and no fancy oils and soaps
Gregory secretly loves and looks forward to bath time. Haha
They should have a cute date where they go out as commoners and try street food and walk through the markets.
greg should try convince francis to do so
Because Gregory thinks Francis should see how the common people live
try and convince francis to be more downt o earth haha
Also, Gregory making Francis eat lamb and trying to convince him to add it to the menu
also i figure greg can be assigned to kitchen duty when he's not needed by francis
I dunno. No one in Japan eats it and it makes me sad
its not very common here either
I can't imagine not having lamb ;;
i dont remember if ive tried it or not....
woah! we'll eat it in scotland
haha alrighty sounds good
i finally sent a reply! i hope its ok
ill reply to the other when i get home
he thinks hes very important
which i guess he kind of is this time but /shrug
haha. He's god's gift to his nation
Gregory will try and bring him down a couple of pegs. Haha
But Yeah. I like the idea of Gregory working in the kitchen while Francis is busy.
It will help him pick up the language quicker too
yeah! with the old lady cook who he can talk to haha
also for the plurk how free with affection do you think they are at the moment
can francis greet him with a kiss for example
Ohhh. Good Question. If he's washing Francis I guess Francis can kiss him on the cheek? Haha XD
ahaha alrighty will do o7
also im picturing the bath to be more like the size of a hot tub, modelled after turkish baths
That's cool. I think that makes more sense
its fucking amazing and francis definitely wears at least one of these
that's mean! i wanna see. hahaha
theyre nsfw pins from medieval times hahah
also, sorry... long reply...
haha thats totally alright =v=
without doing a thing another uni has declared me scottish! yes!!!
i dunno what i was worried about. haha
nice!! ;v; everythings coming up milhosue
do you think Francis would invite Gregory to join him in the bath?
Pfft. Who expected Gregory to say Yes, haha
Now Francis has to decide if he wants to let him in or not. Haha 8D
oh he will but i hope gregory knows what he's in for if he does hahah
He thinks it's a bath. 8D
also going with the headcanons that even though francis has people gifted to him for free use he was raised better than to force them into sexual relations, im sure u agree
His Mum brought him up well.
i can see her dealing with too much garbage and just being like nah my son will be better than this shit
plus it means francis has to woo greg
Very true. It's not gonna be easy. He's a very grumpy one in this AU for some reason
Although perhaps not that hard. Francis is still gorgeous and Gregory is a young male... haha 8D'''
theyre both dsecretly crushing on each other gregorys just a brat about it =v=
Yes. That sums it up perfectly
I'm heading into the dentist! I'll reply tomorrow for you?
haha sorry i had already fallen asleep! i hope your dentist trip went well
Yuri on Ice is so good. I always feel super refreshed after watching it. ;;
i really need to watch it i think
You should. It's awful and good in equal portions? Pfft.
The animation is really pretty!
They reuse it a lot though!
i love reuse, good on them tbh
Yeah! I mean, it's the same routine over and over so... XD
as an animator, reuse scenes are the greatest gift you can get
I think you will feel for them. There are several new routines each episode.
Yeah. I think the must reuse the jump animation though. It can't be that different for the skaters.
Do they hand draw it though? Or can they just move it to a new model?
i think ive heard theyre rotoscoping some of it too
well that depends on how they animate
usually anime is hand done though
and animations cant usually be transferred from model to model in the type of anim i do
unless its built very specifically to do so
Then it's a lot of work!!
They have a couple of big sponsors thogh
thats good. i hope theyre gettign paid well
im having trouble trying to figure out how to animate though =3= my brains got a case of the dumbs
good! i slept really well... i think? haha
and then again around 5:30. haha
oh geeze
i quickly fell back to sleep though. i think i just have an upset tummy.
aw an upset tummy is not nice though
Unfortunately with my health condition it's a fact of life. haha
The person beside me has a permanent sniffle and looks really ill. What are the chances of me getting sick too?
(( load up on vitamins !!
I'll try! Haha. Gonna eat oranges everyday
I had two this morning
Is there a lot of Yuri On Ice art at the cons you're going to?
not yet, which is a little surprising
but i have seen people online making it
I have seen a ton of it on Tumblr. I'm surprised they're not trying to sell it at Cons though
I have a feeling the bath plurk is going to be a game of one sided chicken. haha ;;
well some people are! i just think ive only seen one or two prints at the last two cons ive went to, i assume because its brand new
greg is going to lose that game of chicken so hard
Gregory is trying his hardest.
it just means theres room to teach
haha. hands on demonstration
for the email thread shoudl this perhaps where francis parts ways and greg can be showed the servants quarters and such? and we could hop to the next thing?
i always forget the thumbs up emoji isnt the same everywhere
Is there even one on here?
just use this one ahaha
Of course. Do you remember when chats were just that?
im pretty good. the serve was down all day at work so it was 99% unproductive, but it means i got to leave early haha
do you get any compensation pay?
haha. i tried to stay up for the pokemon release and fell asleep like half an hour before
ah unfortunately not haha. but oh well
but at least you got to wake up to it!
yeah! its so good!!! really cute.
im blown awaya by it so far!!
in your head, how much smaller is Gregory to Francis?
maybe gregs a couple inches shorter but a bit bulkier?
alternatively greg could actually be taller but francis is for once broader shouldered and greg is still awkward gangle teen
yeah. he's still quite young, so i imagine he's still a bit gangly. Taller could be fun too! or maybe a little shorter but he goes thrpugh a small growth spurt with the improved diet and becomes taller? haha
haha ooh that could work too! im down for whichever you wanna play!
i like that. gregory could tease Francis about it!
also, its kinda hard to imagine a farm boy being taller than a well fed prince.
i can't decide if he would freak out or melt under Francis' touch.
francis has very soft hands
he didnt really stand a chance. haha
its true he's fighting a losing battle
also i feel very calm and good rn i just blocked and deleted that anon i got from stalker kid
im finally sitting down to watch yuri on ive btw
Yay! I wish I could see your reactions.
the trash child is exactly the grumpy baby i hoped
I really like Japanese Yuri though
Can I cry at how cute this game is??
theyre all good characters ;v; i just really like trash children apparently hahaha
the new pokemon game. haha
They're all good characters. I really really like them. ;;
ah right sorry ;v; ahah im glad its cute though!!
i really enjoy how theyre all idiots
I promise they just become more and more idiotic. Haha
I need to go back and check. That feels like so long ago.
Okay XD This is a good episode.
but my favourite character is in episode 5!
Try and guess who, hahaha
haha will do! is it the guy with the butt routine
plus, bokuto has a better butt.
also i love yurio but i wish he wasnt 15 augh
is it minami ;v; hes very cute
his routine is very fun i like it
victor jumping out of the way to avoid the nosebleed. how rude hahah
I love Minami. he's so cute!!!
did you watch the latest episode yet?!?
I love them all. Phichit is cute too ;;
i just finished the last one haah
pcichit is so cute i want him to win
What did you think of the kiss? And the look they gave to eachother afterwards?
im glad the relationship between them is starting to feel a little more natural, in the first few episodes it felt rather weird and not like it was meant to be a relationship
I don't think it was a relationship in the first few episodes, right?
well i mean that in the loosest of terms too. just their interactions felt like the writers werent quite sure how to make them work together
like when a fic writer tries to just force two charas together for a fic haha
I think it felt weird as well, because Victor has that language barrier. There is a long post on Tumblr that explains all of Victor's odd or cold responses in those episodes are down to the language barrier
i guess i just mean like the build up didnt feel genuine
yeah thats probably part of it
think they skip a couple of months between the first few episodes
Like, there is a lot of time in the middle that is just skipped because no one likes a practice montage. haha
I shouldn't be defending it. Haha
It was awkward. And felt like it was baiting fans?
the first episodes feel like flirtation for the sake of fans instead of actually contributing to the characters
i like the little head pokes though
i feel like thats yuri realizing/reminding himself that victor is on the same level as him and not actuall on a pedastal
Yeah. And I think Victor is finally relaxing and not having to act like he does on Camera!
Yuri will accept him as is. Even if he is inexperienced.
i like that yuri found victors reaction to his crying amusing haha
the sadist in him comes out
Yeah.
I think Gregory is broken. Haha
I also like that Yuri attempts the last jump because he wants to see Victor's face?
He probably wants to make Victor cry. Haha
also im sorry francis is bad haha
he just really wants to play with hsi new toy
gregs gonna end up creating a petulant baby for a princ ehere haha
No one wants a petulant baby for a prince!!
francis is a 30 year old child
The court probably doesn't like Gregory. Haha.
Ooooh! I was thinking for Drama one of the members of the court might try something with Gregory.
But I feel like they would walk away with a bloody nose or a black eye, so that might not work.
hahaha gregory is so Not Here for this shit
i mean that could happen and francis could find out about it after gregory's been punished? although idk what his reaction would be haha
Haha. That is an interesting thought.
Wouldn't Francis want first dibs though?
Gregory is 18 so he's done stuff! Just not the main event, either way. Probably worried about getting a girl pregnant. XD
francis definitely wants first dibs! the court member wouldnt get a pretty reaction
and this is true haha hes not pure he's just embarrassed
Gregory might not tell Francis about it. Francis finds out about it when he sees the court member's black eye!
i couldnt not parody the princess and the frog but it also probably killed how suave francis is ahahahahaha
I need to watch that film.
I don't like watching movies by myself. Haha
Also, isn't 369 million pounds a ridiculous amount of money to be spending on repairing a palace?
awwww
id watch it with you!!
and that sounds like enough to build 5 castles
Yeah. But the Queen apparently needs her home repaired.
that is a nonsensical amount of money for repairs though
Right? Apparently they've just not been looking after it, and it needs a complete overhaul.
It's gonna take 10 years.
And it comes outta our pockets, kinda.
its the same for us really, the prime ministers house is apparently in shambles and needs a ton of fixing too
It's taken from the profits of a trust the royal family has. They're allocated a certain percent of the profits and the rest goes to the treasury. But those lands belong to the nation ultimately.
Right now they get 15% to help pay for Royal duties, but they're talking about increasing it to 15%
Also, I have food poisoning so... I think my presence today is going to be a little here and there. Sorry >~<
it does bother me they dont just try to keep up upkeep so things dont fuckin fall apart though
also nooo hun ;3; i wish i could come take care of you
It's fine! I now know I have never had food poisoning before though. Because this is hell.
Well, that's an exaggeration. It's just painful and annoying,
food poisoning is really fucking terrible, because really there's nothing to do for it other than wait it out
at least it tends to ease up quickly!
hopefully its not something more serious. ive had salmonella before and that was pure hell
also i was gonna suggest we could skype chat tonight but im guess youre definitely not up for that then ;v;
I think I'll save you the horror ;;
I'm such a whiney Ill person. Haha. You probably don't wanna have to deal with it!
awwww ;v; i mean i dont mind, we all do our fair share of complaining haha
I can actually do a lot! I think I'll be feeling better tomorrow. I just need to keep drinking water!!
thats good! hopefully youll already be feeling better by the end of the day really ;v; food poisoning tends to wind down after you throw up the poison think haha
I don't know if I've thrown it up yet. I have. Health condition that actually makes throwing up a little difficult.
It didn't stop me last night though, haha! But I still feel like I could potentially throw up.
ahhh that makes it worse yeah
If not, I'll go to the doctor.
Is everything okay with you? Was there a reason you wanted to Skype?
oh yeah everythings fine here, i just miss chatting ;v;
Maybe if I feel better!
sounds good ;;v;; for now you need fluids and a warm blanket ;v;
also... do you want francis to notice gregorys problem
I will leave that up to you!
He'll deny it until he dies though.
well im wondering if you want francis to push it more or if you want gregory to successfully escape, i guess haha
Ahhh. Hmmm. Not escaping is more fun!
Francis is getting annoyed. Haha.
apparently gregory has more power than he knows haha
I think it's a case of want what you can't have.
i mean if you want gregory can absolutely bolt
I considered crying briefly, but Gregory is more prone to getting angry when he's upset.
i can definitely see him more like that yeah
crying in private maybe, but not in front of others
It's fine. Gregory is definitely jealous though. Which is stupid. He's a child too.
hahah theyre both big idiot babies
and thats why we love them
Gregory is totally gonna snap at Francis at some point now. When he's complaining Gregory will be all, "Why don't you just call Marianne?"
A big jealous baby. Haha.
Although maybe not. I dunno.
i imagine directly after this, the amount of times francis calls for gregory lessens a bitfor at least a few days
before he starts trying again because hes insufferable
I was expecting that. XD haha.
what sort of scene do you want to play next?
did you want maybe gregory having to help him dress? maybe for a party
im picturing greg having to lace him into a corset and complaining the whole time haha
Also Gregory backhand complementing him. "You look fine without it."
hahah if you count bloomers that have an opening in the crotch so you can pee without undressign as sexy, i guess
period accurate
maybe its sexy for that time haha
Gregory has seen Francis naked. Haha ;n; poor boy is probably thankful his butt is covered.
ideas for adding a bit o drama into this event- francis could disappear at one point of the night along with another royal guest, and gregory could catch them, or alternatively- francis could have gregory
lace him in too tightly since he's not used to wearing corsets and could faint at some point of the night
i like both too ahaha! i guess do you wanna play jealous greg or worried greg?
Jealous Greg is less likely to sleep with Francis. Worried Greg would be more inclined to sleep with Francis. Haha. XD
is there more to your reply or does greg really just say this?
Yeah. Sorry. He's at a loss for words, at least for the moment.
ok! i wondered if that was the case i just wanted to make sure plurk hadnt ignored another part to the rpely
Are you excited for your BIRTHDAY?!?
my dads been excited to host it so i guess im going to his house haha
got a few friends- we're gonna go to a craft fair at the museum and then go to daddios for dinner and drinks and maybe christmas cookie making?
my moms also coming up to visit next weekend... but that means i need to clean my apartment tmr x.x
Ahhh. Cleaning sucks.... but the crafts fair sounds fun!!! And making cookies too!
yeah haha ;v; should be nice
also dad has a hot tub and a pool table so... good times
yeee ;v; wish you could come!
Haha. I'm okay! I can go to an onsen.
i am jealous of your onsen
They're good! And it's finally getting cold enough to go again!
Haha! I will. I need to talk to my coworker. Maybe we can go to the one with individual onsens again'
have you been feeling better today btw? ;v;
Yeah. So much better. I think it's down to not eating a lot though. Haha.
well im glad youre feeling better ;v; and hopfully you can eat something yummy today!
Yeah. I had plain rice yesterday! So maybe something on top. Haha.
haha aww ;v; slow steps then
I want to be able to go to work tomorrow. And I'm working till 8 because of Private lessons so....
That could be fun... haha. Francis teasing Gregory into reacting. Haha
the best way to not be rejected really hahah
also im fuckin pissed i think my power has just decided to up and die within the span of like three days
ugh im on my phone now so i apologise for the drop in quality of my posts
My quality of posts sucks too.
I'm so sorry about your power cord!!
My Gregory feels so stiff.
I think there needs to be a point where he realises he likes Francis. A big event.
what kind of event are you thinking?
i like greg hes an embarrassed baby being relelntless teased
though if my france isnt acting in the way u thought he might in this au plz tell me i can try and adjust
why does the plurk app not tell u how many characters you have left
I have no idea! But it's annoying, right!
Your Francis is perfect!!
its so annoying! it used to tell me, why would they take that out
/shakes head. I have no idea.
are you feeling well today? ;v; youre up really early....
rrrrr staples apparently has no way to look up my warranty since i lost the reciept, and so i had to buy a new cord... but i just got home and the fucking thing doesnt have the right adapter for my laptop
That sucks. D: since this is the wrong type though, you can replace it right?
I am still feeling a bit iffy :c but not enough so to justify a day off.
im going to return it and buy one off amazon for like half the damn price i think
aww
well take it easy then if you can...
also by some miracle my old cord started working again but now im afraid to move in case it stops again
Ahh. Okay.... hmmm. Tape?
im just... gonna sit very still untill the battery is fully charged again
