Resident Evil fangirling and me.


You're all going to die down here.

Said the Red Queen to Alice...
So yeah, today's post it about Resident Evil. But it won't be a random rant about how I love it so much. I'm here to say how I love the characters and the pairings of them. If any! The characters I talk about in the following lists are what I have become to get to know quite well in the Resident Evil game universe and the books. As for the movies, there are similarities between the characters in Capcom's Resident Evil as well as Anderson's Resident Evil. That is as of this year, as I’m pretty sure the Director of the adaptations has more in store and will most likely be trying to pour more loved characters from the video games into the films of Resident Evil. I'm still not sure how I feel about that. But I know at the end of the day, I'm a Resident Evil fan. And I became a fan after playing the games.

My favourite characters
Chris Redfield
Jill Valentine
Albert Wesker
Jake Muller
Piers Nivans

My not so favourite characters
Claire Redfield
Leon S. Kennedy

My favorite 'romantic' pairings and why

Wesker / Jill – Lust, obsession, helplessness and a power hungry villain with a dash of control thrown in there who wants the girl he could never have. Perfect.

Chris / Jill – Love, pure fairytale romance with a hero, a heroine and an evil wizard who has captured the princess.

Wesker / Excella – A lapdog who's blissfully unaware, blinded by her own love for the monster. Who turns out to merely be a pain in his side.

Wesker / Claire - ??? it's weird, these two. I'm not even sure why I read fanfiction about these two. Perhaps it's because I’m warped.








As for the random rant. That may come later.

Write here, write there...


Writing Habits

Today's post is about my writing habits and oddly enough as I write this, I'm living without my headphones, which are a big part of my writing life, if you see below. Which without I can not write! Before starting this, I wasn't sure if I had any to begin with. But oddly enough- again, I actually found that I have some. So, here's my writing habits and a bit about each one of them.


Music -  I try to make and use a playlist for each story I write. Consisting of mood music, tracks that have lyrics – which I listen out for which remind me of the characters, setting or theme of my stories. Then there's the genres. Currently, i'm listening to a playlist I made for a T Rated Romance fanfiction, which is made up of cinematic rock, alternative and a couple of dance tracks which aren't really dance.

Headphones – I use these to block out the outside world. I use a pair of SkullCandy lowriders – which have now broke! - to listen to the playlists of music I make.

Snuggie – I cuddle up on my sofa and laptop with my Pink Cookie snuggie. Which, if you didn't know is a blanket with sleeves. They're useful and I got this one I use for Christmas. I love it! :D

Laptop – Ah. My faithful DELL Latitude. How, I adore it... my operating system of choice if the Open Office which came with the DELL. I can't write in a quiet enviroment, so my bedroom's out of the question. I sit on the sofa in front of the tv, with the sound on mute,  but I still like watching the moving images. Then with my laptop  on my knee, that I can easily carry around is then carted over, which the leads trailing around everywhere and I then listen to the music in my playlists. And only then, can I write! :D

Time – I usually write late at night, when I'm relaxed and there's nothing or little on TV. I wind down after a busy or not so busy day with a cuppa tea – tea, not coffee! And I do all of the above.
