Birthday and updatesSooo...today is my birthday, obviously. It's strange how much I've matured over the past year. I look back on this day only a year ago, and there's such a change...I went from this hyper little Hetalia-obsessed idiot to a cynical and, well...mature person who thinks things through more. I'm not bragging in the least. I just am really shocked at how much life has changed me in a year. I feel old.
Anyway. Thank you to everyone who has wished me a happy birthday. It means a lot. I'm so lucky to have such wonderful supporters. <3 AND THANK YOU FOR THE PLETHORA OF LLAMAS THAT HAVE BEEN SPAMMING ME FOR THE PAST WEEK OR SO. OHMYGOSH WHY. ;W; I LOOOOOVE YOU ALL.
As for writing updates, well...life has killed my muse. I've not been in a writing mood at all recently, and it's really distressing since I have a request to write as a prize. Also, I began an original story a couple weeks ago, and the prologue is the only thing I have done. I want to write more, but...every time I go to do

Commissions...?So, I was thinking...because I would like to harness more points on here to use for various things (such as extending my premium membership and donating), I may open up commissions.
Now, this is completely tentative, as I will be very busy from here on out with school and still trying to get a job. But what I was thinking was that if I did open up commissions, I'd do so around February.
I'd offer things such as:

reader inserts, of course (whatever series you want, you'd have to ask if I'm into them)

short stories using your original character

any other piece of writing you could think of, and I would consider it
I'd probably start off with everything being around 15-25

, depending on how detailed or long you'd like me to make it.
Again, this is just me thinking about it, but I'd like to get feedback on whether or not I did open up commissions, you guys would support me by commissioning me. Keep in mind that you would have to be p

Tumblr+Markiplier+Favors (please read!)Haha, sorry about the last journal guys, I was just really bored and have never legitimately rickroll'd anyone in my life so I had to do it. X'D
Anyway, first off for this journal...I've been thinking about getting a Tumblr account. I'd use it only as an ask blog, where you guys could ask me whatever you wanted. Maybe put some drafts/prompts on there occasionally. Thing is, though, I've only been on the site three times in my life, and I have no idea how to use it. This is just a preemptive thought. And I'm worried making an account solely for my watchers to ask me questions would be too arrogant of me. I genuinely want to get closer with you guys, see? And since I don't always reply to comments continuously and send notes because I feel awkward instigating conversations on here for some reason, I just was considering the blog to be an idea. Lemme know what you guys think.
Second order of business is this man right here: http://www.youtube.com/user/markiplierGAME?feature=watch. That, m

A couple updatesSorry if this journal skin is too much to look at but holy crap I love it. And I'm not really a fan of Miku. Or Vocaloid in general. But I do like Luka and Gakupo. Anyway.
I've been...doing better. In terms of mental health, I suppose. This entire week, actually, I've been sick. I've missed school Tuesday, Wednesday, and today. It sucks. I've come down with the influenza/cold/fever thing that's been attacking my area relentlessly. Woohoo eastern Iowa. Hopefully I'll be okay to go tomorrow so I can get all my make up work...this weekend if going to be nothing but homework. Ugh.
Back on the mental health bit. I've been...I don't know. I've not been incredibly and utterly depressed and whatnot since I posted my rants. I guess it did help to vent, then. But I'm still taking a writing hiatus. I'm sorry. It's just that if I can't get in the writing mood, then what's the point of posting mediocre pieces?
My laptop is still at Geek Squad. They think the hard drive was bad to begin with in the

Shifter Contest Winners!First of all, this journal skin is adorable. The Sup guy is so damn cute.
Now, to the point of this journal...the results of my Hetalia x Reader Shifter contest! The entries can be found here: http://prussianpersephone.deviantart.com/favourites/52640596
I have tweaked how I'm going to reward the winners, and here is the layout...
Third place will get 15 points, a llama, and a request.
Second place will get 20 points, a llama, and a request that can be a two shot if they choose.
First place will get 25 points, a llama, and a request that can be a three shot if they choose.
Everyone else who participated will get llamas as well.
As for what I will write as prizes...Black Butler reader inserts, Hetalia reader inserts, possibly Pokemon stuff, and if you want me to write something with an OC of yours, I can try that out. But be warned--I will most likely take my time with the requests, as I have a life outside dA, so please be patient.
Just a heads up, I am not leaning towards the wi

700.I've reached 700 watchers now.
I...wow. I don't even know what to say, other than I don't deserve them. Not at all. My writing is mediocre at best. I can't keep a straight mind when I try to go and write original stories. My poetry feels so cliche and like I'm trying too hard to impress people. And my fanfics? Well, do I really have to say more? I'm just glad I graduated from nothing but shameless fanservice reader inserts to reader inserts that have some semblance of a message at least 90% of the time.
I can't thank you all enough for believing it's worth it to watch me. I really can't. But I'm torn, you see. Torn between trying to please those watchers who've been there since I first started on here with my shitty reader inserts and trying to please those who've come here for poetry and prose.
I really don't know which side to placate more often. I swear, I'm trying to write more original stories; but at the same time I'm trying to pump out more fanfiction that can have some s

Guys, I'm freaking out.All righty. So I told myself now that school has started back up, I wouldn't be on dA so much because I'll be extremely busy.
However...the lovely =C-Allagash contacted me with a publication opportunity, and I couldn't help but check it out. Then... ~RiverDreamer, who represents the company of RiverDreams Publishing (found here, you all should check out their site and see if their policy works well with you if you want to publish: http://www.riverdreamspublishing.com/default.html), contacted me as well, saying they had read some of my poetry and wanted to know if I was interested in submitting my work to their 2013 Poetry Anthology.
I had a goddamn heart attack, guys.
I am going to definitely consider this amazing opportunity, and I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe, this is the real deal and I'll get something of mine out in the real world for all to see. I have emailed the company with some questions, and once they are answered...I really think I will go through with this. I ca

My favorite PokemonOkay, so, I'm really bored and out of it right now, so I felt like spamming you all with a pointless journal about my childhood.
When I first got into Pokemon, it was courtesy of my cousin Nate. He gave me his old Pokemon Yellow game when I was seven or six, and I immediately fell in love. I began to watch the show, and fancied myself a Pokemon master. ...even though I couldn't get past Brock because Pikachu cannot beat rock-type worth a crap.
Here is a list of my favorite Pokemon and the reasons behind it.
Rapidash: I was really big into unicorns as a child. Like, really big. You have no idea how many plush unicorns and knicknacks I have that I refuse to throw away due to nostalgia. But I remember I was watching an episode of Pokemon, and it had a Ponyta and a Rapidash, and I freaked out. They were the best things ever. A fire horse and a fire unicorn? Hell yeah! I think I begged for a Rapidash for my birthday, though...no joke. I was an idiotic child. I wanted a goddamn fire u

TAGGEDI know I said I would stop with journal spams, but I wanted to get this out before I forgot. And I only do tags when it's people who I'm good friends with on here, because again I don't like spamming with journals. Please note I don't tag people back because I don't want to be a nuisance.

Anyway, on with it!

Well, this was unexpected. (READ IT PLEASE)http://dailylitdeviations.deviantart.com/journal/Daily-Literature-Deviations-for-December-5th-2012-341269764
So. Those are the DLD's for December 5.
Guess what.

That got a DLD.
I can't even.
I don't deserve that. At all.
How did this happen.
I'm still dreaming.
I'm gonna go get a Poptart.

Clearing some things up (another ''please read'')I've been very busy lately, hence not being on too much. However, a couple of days ago, someone noted me (I will keep this all anonymous, as I have already dealt with the situation) asking for me to write them a GermanyXPrussia lemon.
First off, I do not write slash of any kind; yaoi, yuri, etc. I don't read or go look for it specifically, either. I will tolerate those who like pairing up same-sex characters with one another, but I'm not into it myself at all--and I am not a homophobic or a hater. I have a cousin who is gay, and I love him to death and am very proud of him for finding an amazing boyfriend. So don't call me out for discriminating.
Secondly, I do not write smut anymore, especially for reader inserts. After the lemon scandal, I realized, "You know...this stuff really is a waste of time, and gets repetitive after awhile." I only read lemons from people I watch, because I know they won't disappoint and can actually write with proper grammar, spelling, and a well-thought-out

Sigh...I need to stop finding amazing Pokemon journal skins. Especially since all my free time for the last few days has been spent playing Pokemon Emerald Version because I found my Gameboy stuff once more, and this time the A and B buttons are working properly. ...for now. Rayquaza is my baby. I love him. They need to remake Emerald/Ruby/Sapphire so I can watch the cutscene where Rayquaza flies down to quell Groudon and Kyogre in Sootopolis in all its remastered, pixelated glory.
Anyway...I have a little favor to ask of someone. You know the author tags? The things on the side of deviations that are literature, and they say "LITERATURE"? I want one that is specifically me, but...I have no way (or idea) how to make one. If someone could do so for me, I would greatly appreciate it. If you want points for it in return, I can give you a little bit, but I hardly have any--just an FYI.
Also, I'm...kind of really depressed right now. You see, a friend of mine who I have been really close friends w

Karaoke night: SpainxReader commisionFebruary 2011. Although you are underage (to drink anyway, you were 20) , your folks take you along with them to a bar. Now obviously, you don't drink anything. And you don't really eat either. You're there for something they told you about a couple weeks ago; karaoke night.

You watch the people go up to sing. You don't exactly see the next American Idol or X-factor winner (or whatever you kids watch these days -.-) , but they weren't… terrible.

You had fun, but a though wouldn't leave your head…

I wanna sing too…

So the next time you went, when you noticed the same woman was getting up and singing again and again, you decided to give it

I Do :PrussiaXHungary: (Prize fic)She looks beautiful today.

The white dress.

The flowers.

The veil.

She is doing it all today.

“Liz, are you all ready to go? The ceremony will be starting in ten minutes!”

She stares at the woman in the mirror with unsure green eyes, cautious fingertips barely touching the glass surface. Yes, she looks beautiful, indeed. Her long, brown hair braided and plaited so lovingly by her best friend, tucked beneath a lace veil, and her face powdered and glossed to what had been exclaimed as “perfection.”

She may look absolutely beautiful, but she hardly feels like it.

“Liz? Liz! Hey, are you in there?”

The

No More TearsThere is a desert beneath her eyes
Dry, desolate, despairing
Devoid of life; devoid of emotion; devoid of hope;
Now just a broken ravine carved by sorrow
Now just a barren canyon chiseled by fear
Now just a fragmented chasm sculpted by dread
Now just a tearless void
Of emptiness

America is the only place in the world where you will see a band of obese squirrels whom you mistake for gophers as you are driving down the road.

And they waddle as they attempt to run on their short legs. Like ducks. And their fluffy tails do not look very fluffy. And they're so goddamn chubby it's just omg.

C'mon, all you lovely Americans.

Say it with me.

Loud and proud, now...

'MURICA.

_{btw this is a true story it happened today I am so damn proud of my country}

I found the squirrel king.

I love you, Markiplier.

Hehe! Look up "Best Death Ever!" and "Cheeseburger" on RayWilliamJohnson's channel and watch the squirrel videos they review. Lol.

I'm Australian ('Stralia bruh!) but I'll still say it. Patriotism is always nice to see.

You have no idea how strange this sounds to an Aussie.

*PrussianPersephone Jan 26, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Because you are used to your kangaroos and wallabies.
