News - Mid-jan 2018
Posted 7 years agoHi everyone!
A bit of news :D
My internship at Ubisoft started well, but I have a damn lot of work to do, and makes me come home kind of late. I am quite worn down, but I’ll be fine (hopefully there are the weekends), and at least I learn a lot everyday.
As for writing, I am still working on AIRMPS, even though I had to slow down the rhythm because I was kind of burning out. The « 4th day » chapter is not finished yet and it is already twice long as the previous chapter (3rd day)... which was already twice long as the first chapters. Thing that I couldn’t plan, because you cannot know how much time writing a scene will take. Add to this the fact I want it polished... Ugh.
Now I write only when I feel to, and do not pressure myself too much to release it « asap ». Thus, I can’t tell at all when it’ll be finished, but, of course, I’ll keep updating the completion percentage you can find on my profile page so you can have an idea about how it goes.
To relax, I play Pokémon as always, but also Super Mario Odyssey (all these Mooooons), Monster Hunter: Stories, and finished the The Legend of Zelda: Breath if the Wild DLCs. For Christmas, I bought myself Stardew Valley, Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, and Undertale, so I still have a lot to do hehe. I keep on culturally and entertainingly feeding myself with my future creative projects in mind.
Talking about video games, I’m also doing some research about visual novels. If you have some recommendations, I’m all ears. (Yes, I already played Nekojishi lul.)
Also, I’m turning 22 years old today! \o/ ...Not much to tell about it haha.
Take care of yourselves~

"Project completion" info + News - Mid-dec 2017
Posted 8 years agoHi everyone!
A small update to tell you I added a "project completion" info part on my profile description ( https://www.furaffinity.net/user/silverzekrom/ ) so that you can know the progress done and estimate how soon it will be released.
Information on the acronyms used on the "project completion" part on my profile info
(This part will be edited in the future in case of any new additions or change in the acronyms)
OC: Original creation
FC: Fan creation (involves already existing characters)
FR: Directly written in French language
ENL: Directly written in English language
ENT: English translation
EP: eproctophilic content (takes me more time than SFW)
SFW: Safe for work (doesn't include EP)
NSFW: Not SFW (genitals or explicit sex scene description or representation)
Keep in mind that ENL takes me more time than ENT and that EP and NSFW take me more time than SFW works (because it's more difficult to create with only one hand available).
Once again, I thank you all for your patience, as I had neither the time or the ability to submit new creations regularly and frequently.
Mid-December 2017 News:
I take a pause in my novel writing (Septentrion) to write the next chapter of AIRMPS. This new chapter seems very promising to me: the relationship between Roth and Terence will reach a very important state, and you'll also discover more about the "reality" surrounding this "incredibly realistic male porn story". Keep an eye on the new "project completion" section to know how the story completion goes!
Apart from this, on a personal side, my first internship will end soon, and I succeeded in getting my next internship at Ubisoft! Yes, this video game company! It will start in January 2018, so I'm pretty glad about it. It also means that I'll probably be busy again for the winter semester haha :p
Oh and I don't know if you know the project, but I also worked on the French translation of a game from FA community called "Notes of Hearts". It's a game mixing J-RPG & Dating Sim gameplay. Best idea ever, right ? You can check it out here : https://www.furaffinity.net/view/23231006/
Beta verison of Chapter 1 has been released ! And it's already in full English of course :)
That's all for now ! And once again, do not hesitate to PM me if you want us to get to know each other! I'm always open to meeting new people online from FA! ^w^
I hope you're fine, take care of yourselves, and see you soon! :)

Now accepting art trades - Some news - Nov 2017
Posted 8 years agoHi everyone!
I hope you're all doing fine!
As you know me, I won't surprise you telling that I have been busy with a lot of stuff since the last time I gave you news.
I came back to France, had to find an internship over the summer, then worked a lot on other personal projects that I wanted to finish. I also got more and more busy with voluntary but professional works and additional courses in order to get myself a proper resume to get a chance to work in the video game industry.
As for here! A lot of different works on the go, none is finished, sad I know, but it takes time and I don't want to rush it, as always.
HOWEVER !
Thanks to the NaNoWriMo challenge starting tonight, I will start to write actively on my side project, Septentrion! A big writing project dealing with furries, aliens, fantasy, and science-fiction. But for that, I will need the help of illustrators. So, as I can't offer myself commissions, I ask for anybody who would get interested to do an art exchange! A story from me for an illustration from you. For course, I'll only accept if your style and quality of drawing fit me.
And of course, if any of you is interested to help me on a voluntary basis, or know someone who would be interested to help me in this great project, let me know!
I hope you're all doing fine!

I am in Canada! Other news and new freedom - Feb 2017
Posted 8 years agoHi everyone! :D
So, I finally succeeded to post new materials here, after more than one year! As I explained in my fall journal, I had been pretty busy recently. I'll catch up some news.
First, my play went very well! Thank you again for the support I got from some of you. The path to making it real had been long, with proof-readings and cuts that took me months, people who abandoned the project, planning problems because of coordination with school stuff, etc. At least, we made it, succeeded in having a video of it, and everyone was glad to have been part of this adventure.
After this play which ended in the beginning of October, I wanted to make some pause in my writing - and I also had to catch up on my studies, since the end of the first semester was coming. Exams were done in December, now I'm hoping to have passed them.
Furthermore, I had to prepare my departure for my second semester, which I am spending abroad! I am in Canada, on Prince Edward Island, since the beginning of January. Settlement, mind setting and semester beginning took me some time before I could get back to write. It is also taking me some time to meet new people - I am not the extrovert type, haha ^^'
Oh, I got 21 years old in January, too. Apparently, it's an important age for American people, and I am "truly" adult now? In France, the legal age is 18, so I don't really know what it means for American citizens haha. Anyway, I don't like alcohol at all, so nothing changed. :P
On the bad news side, two weeks ago, I also lost my grandfather, thing which didn't help to cheer me up. It is the first time I lost someone in my family since I am in age to fully understand what "death" means. For months he was in the hospital, so it didn't happen all of the sudden, but since October the family situation wasn't shining with positiveness. It was a weird, sad, difficult thing (still is) because of the relationships we had with our grandfather, but as Isle told me, it is still a lost (again, thank you for your support, man). I didn't talk about it here because I don't know why. But well, I start to talk a bit more now. At least I try.
Of course, these months were also spent in political and societal context that can be quite oppressing sometimes. I can't imagine what it is like for people living in the US. In France, next Presidential elections are in April, and I was careless enough to not inform myself before my departure - now I know that I would not be able to vote. So I'm condemned to wait and see and hope that we do not elect someone terrible. Yay.
On the entertainment side, I discovered League of Legends (if anyone here is on the EU West server, don't hesitate to message me so that we can have a game or something). I also played Pokkén Tournament (Garchomp and Charizard <3), and also Pokémon Go this summer, as everybody on Earth. The 7th Pokémon generation games, Sun and Moon, were released too! They are surely one of the best installment in the franchise to my mind. Coming back to PC gaming, I'm also DAMN excited about Mass Effect: Andromeda coming in March, but for that, I have to buy a new laptop... Uh.
Last point, what about my next writings?
For FA, of course, I'll continue on AIRMPS. I will see if I continue right away with the fourth day or if I want to write a little story or anything else. I also tried yesterday a thing that I wanted to do since a long time, which is essay writing. I like to have diverse material here, and it allowed me to talk about a topic that I could not fit easily on an entertaining story.
I'll try to catch up with articles for the website for which I'm an editor since four or five years. It has also been too long without posting there, so I have to write something for them because I can't continue to feel bad about not working for them too haha. Moreover they are the first Internet community I met, so I am very attached to them. And since it is a Pokémon fansite, I am not about to lose interest in it.
Last but not least, for my personal project as Septentrion, I will try to move on after posting a bit on Internet. I have more time than ever during this semester, and Canada has the perfect northern setting and landscapes to get inspired. However, I don't know when I'll be able to translate other parts of it to post it on the dedicated account. After working on AIRMPS, I miss a bit writing in French, whatever for the easier flow of thoughts or the pace of writing haha. Just to say that I carried on working on this novel.
Moreover, I am a bit more free than before, also, don't hesitate to ask if you need help or any project of your own. I am open to any collaboration. I would be glad to help you in any way, if you want advice, an opinion about a scenario, or in search for someone who deals a bit with writing.
Apart from that all, from me to you, I wanted to renew my "thank you" to all of you, even for those who started to follow me during my inactivity. It's always a pleasure to see that my writing can still be enjoyed, and it helps me so much when I don't find the will to write. If by any chance some of you are around PEI, Canada, tell me! I also may travel a bit in the country, so maybe there would be a chance to meet.
It was also a pleasure to continue to follow some of your works. I am glad seeing new artists coming, and all this small world getting bigger day after day.
That's it everyone! I hope you'll like the new AIRMPS chapter (twice longer than the previous ones omg), and that it would be worth the wait. As always, I came here daily, so feel free to comment or send me any shout or note.
Take care, and I hope you are all going fine! :)

Teaser - Coming back soon - Feb 2017
Posted 8 years agoHi everyone!
A lot of changes in life (changes like, I'm on the other side of the ocean for now). I'll explain everything when I would have posted the next story.
Which one? AIRMPS Day 3! *yay* *finally* The chapter is still in work (90% done), but almost done! It would be the longest day (and story) I would have written by far, so I think it would be worth the wait. I hope. owo
I'll also post something else, not mature or sexy at all, but something that I want to do for a long time.
See you all soon!

Some news owo - Fall 2016
Posted 9 years agoHi everyone !
First of all, I hope you are being well, all of you. Despite my non-posting, so much people came and followed me these last months, I deeply want to thank them all for their support - and of course the people who are supporting me since even longer and who still have envy to read my journals and know what is happening.
It has been quite a long time since my last journal indeed, because I have been pretty busy : finishing my theater play, having to prepare EVERYTHING about the representations, the end of the school year, a move last April, my internhip all summer with horrendous hours sometimes, hypocrits leaving the theater group at the last minute, an internship report (still) to do, and now going back to school... Without mentioning every little thing or games or movies or ideas that followed me this summer in the little spare time I had. Eventually, those were not really holidays >w<
In the middle of all that, a friend of mine taught me about League of Legends. Now I'm playing this game (and hope I'll still be able too, even with the connexion I'll had at my hotel room). Ah, LoL - so much nice looking furries and scalies (Renekton, Volibear, Rengar, Aurelion Sol... <3) and epic magic ! owo
But why the hell telling you about it ? Well, this new game (at least new for me, shhh) led me to have ideas about some LoL champions for future stories. Not mentioning the fact that I never saw any story about this fandom (at least, in my interests). I even started to work on a story with a LoL character especially, but the ridiculous amount of things I had to do this summer prevented me from finishing it, sadly.
..Aaaand now it seems like I lose the inspiration for it. For now. I think for the next story posting I'll just go back to a story I love, that has a "normal" setting (not in a special world, because even in pr0n I have to make it faithful and true and care about cohesion of the settings' world... ugh >w>)...
And, for that next post, writing back a story which brings me fun. So, maybe the "day 3" of AIRMPS, I don't know yet.
What is sure is that I won't have time to write for FA before mid-october. I have to get back to my school (in another French city than Paris, so another move, yaaay) ; and above all I have to work hard with the theater group for the play, which will be on October 3rd and 4th. (Told you about it ? You know me, there's at least one scene of some furry love, that shall be so fun to play). It's a real, big, both personal and social school project for me.
And when that enormous project will end, I would probably have to catch up with the homeworks since I'll certainly be late.
So, next posting will be minimum at the end of october, and maximum... There's no maximum.
But, other sure thing is that I want to write back for FA (I mean like I REALLY want), so, let's say, late fall.
That's it friends. I'm extremely sorry to not coming back that soon, but as you see, I really don't have the time yet :/ However, I'm still available for anything you want through MPs, comments, to get to know some of you, or anything for sure, since I come on FA on a daily basis.
This said, in case I don't know on which story/sequel it would be nice to work on, I would like ton ask you and know... Which story/sequel do you want the most ? Which are your fave(s) one ?
Tell me in the comments below, in order that I start noting ideas despite everything else in my spare dreamy seconds, hehe :3 (And if you don't tell me nothing, well, I'll choose by myself, nah.)
Take care of yourselves ! I'm looking forward to getting back ! OwO

Zootopia – How furries can make you more human
Posted 9 years agoMy values and my imagination rated this movie 4,5/5
I saw Zootopia. Damn.
So, so, so. I can’t really talk about it like that, without telling anything else. It’s been a long time that I waited for this movie, like a lot of us around here, I suppose; since the announcement of its concept. I won’t drag on over an autobiography, but my interest for other species than ours, and my taste for multispecies worlds and stories, bring me many times (not to say, “always”) to read, write, or imagine societies where cohabit a lot of different beasts.
Why is that so important to me? (Beside the fact we all assume it is utterly cool?) Because I consider that thinking about multispecies societies, wondering what would we do, and figuring out stories in these worlds remind us each second about altruism, about respect of the other behind the physical differences, and, above all, it remind us our essential equality, which takes its source in the very fact we are all people – or, if you allow me to be inaccurate in English in order to be more accurate in my French thoughts, the very fact that we are all persons. Thinking about living with other species, it’s forgetting for one moment that we are humans, and considering that there is something else than biology or taxonomic criteria that gather us : it’s our existence as thinking, sensitive, sapient, and free beings.
So, yeah, seeing my values, my tastes when it comes to imagination, and what and who I am, I couldn’t wait, I was anxious to see this movie. Without speaking about the fact that Disney, as the greatest of the “for young and old alike” animation studios, isn’t at its first try about putting on stage anthropomorphic animals. Yeah, “furries”.
To be true, as soon as I came out of the movies, I was satisfied. I wasn’t fulfilled, but, eventually, satisfied.
Now that I’m writing these lines and that I am reflecting about it, I can say that I am fulfilled by this movie in many points, and enough to make me forget the two-or-three defaults which remain. My rating indeed has grew about 0.5 point more during the writing of this opinion. (Which is a lot since I’m rating on a scale of 5. Just to say.)
First, the main good points, without real surprise (but which are always relieving when you see them calling present).
The animation is perfect, really well done and all the more astounding. Maybe as not remarking as in The Good Dinosaur (which was the most beautiful movie I have ever seen, visually speaking), but Disney Animation Studios always fill us with colors and fluidity, and keeps on proving their master class.
The main characters (who are opposed-by-everything-oh-god-it’s-a-buddy-movie-wow) are very well introduced to my mind, and, consequently, very cute and touching. It pleases me to find here a heroine (not a princess in any way, plz), and, I say, really likeable, of a good realistic nature, and who would almost make us feel like doing like her. Juddy Hopps (that’s her name) and Nick Wilde (the adorable fox that get along her despite himself) end up building a duo which rocks to my mind, their relationship evolving right until the last moments of the movie. So, I really have no hole to pick in these, and I will just say “Youhou”.
Then, the few disappointments (a negative point becomes disappointment as soon as the movie was desired, right?)
I’m a bit disappointed by Michael Giacchino’s music, in a way that no musical theme is really remarkable or sticks to the mind when you come out. I find it too bad seeing how this composer is talented and how many pieces of music he had been able to put in our heads. This said, Shakira’s song “Try Everything” is cool enough to my mind, and, even if it’s a bit “hey look we have Shakira”, the song is worth it: it’s a song which belongs to Zootopia society, and Juddy listens to it as we would do to motivate us – so, technically, it is completely legit. Ah, yes, now I’m thinking about it, the first ending titles deserve a good point, because I found them as well brought-in and integrated to the story as the song in itself.
Other negative points for me are some predictable scenario elements, in the way that many times I have found it possible to guess what was about to happen a few seconds just before it comes true. The great lines of the scenario aren’t obvious, so it’s nice, but some of its elements are a bit forced into the flow of events (you’ll be judge), and can spoil some seconds of suspense or scenario on the moment. The movie antagonist also bears one of this nasty inclinations to not appear enough on screen as the bad guy, in order that we would remember him if he did. Thing that is, well… I don’t know. :v At least, it doesn’t help its antagonism. Hm.
Now, the good surprises. If there are some flaws to the scenario, I have found it generally well rhythmed – maybe a bit too well rhythmed sometimes, with for example with a slight abuse of scenes like “the characters keeps on talking in off while we move to another scene”, but it’s nothing –, and, above all, the gist of the scenario is really perfect according to me. (I won’t spoil you; don’t watch the latest trailer though, it might spoil you some elements.) The scenario, by mixing effectively a police investigation and the very reason of the existence of this movie, allows the scenarists to build the movie a strong message, from A to Z; wearing strong values, more than vital to our life in society to my mind, this society being human or not.
Because, finally, there is the point I wanted to make.
The most important in this animated movie, what makes me clearly love it, and what, ultimately, makes me forget the few flaws I was finding in it, it is its intention. Morale or level of reading are often strong points in the Disney movies, and are generally the only arguments to support to encourage parents to come this movie too. But here, Zootopia, telling us about an entire society, analyzes our societies – not only American society (well, yeah, more or less, looking at you, doughnuts), but our human societies in general, everything they imply, and even(tually) the very idea of what a society is. This movie tells us about a multitude of society matters, from discrimination, prejudices, racism, to atavism, feminism, or the glass-ceiling problem… And, in the same time, in a realistic way, this movie defends notions of courage, of willingness to become what we want to be, and the respect of the others. So, yeah. To my mind, this movie succeeds in encapsulating a lot of the benefits that I find to imagine a society full of different species. And, like this city, Zootopia, this movie is anchored in our modern world more than ever, diffusing values extremely important for today – would it be for the young little girls’ dreams, or for some old, nearly xenophobic parents seeing nowadays events. It’s, really, the strongest point of this movie, and what made me, eventually, loves it a lot.
…And this, despite the main default that I have found in it, and which ultimately revealed itself to be another quality; on another plan.
I took first this feeling for an “A movie that gave us what he promised us” feel, or an “A movie that doesn’t go farther” feel (this last is extremely wrong in definitive, seeing the formidable morale it offers us). But this feeling is actually a feeling of “we want more”. Multi-species, imaginary universes are fascinating because they are limitless, and they open the door to so many scenarios and relationships possibilities that they almost have an endless potential. Besides the mere fact I love them, that’s why I work with such universes, and why I am not about to stop.
It’s in some way the problem but also the quality of the universe which is offered to us here: damn, it is so big, so fertile! So many species (although there are only mammals in this movie, sorry (I found it too bad too first)), so many districts, so many inventions, so many possible stories in such world… Just look at all the stories we have around here, and we all know how much there is to tell! So many subjects, so many matters – even the movie directors agree on saying that they weren’t able to show us in this movie all that they have imagined, from subterranean district for nocturnal animals to islands artificially created for the marina fauna. So many things I would have liked to see and which are to be told, and only 1 hour and 45 minutes – yes indeed, I would have expected to be slightly disappointed. But now I’m realizing all of this, I see this point as a flaw merely coming from the successes of this movie: giving us a universe so dense and so substantial that we would love to see more of it and discover always more. So, yeah, I am more than okay to see Zootopia again, but above all, I would be in complete bliss if they announce a sequel, or, even better, sequels… Because, there is so much to imagine!
To conclude, I will add one more thing, globally summing up this movie, its values, and its universe to my mind: it’s a movie that gives (me) the right feels and puts (you) in very good mood. Because of its positive messages, not naïve (I won’t spoil it either, but it is useful for everyone), for its graphical qualities (obviously), its humor, its diversity, its morality, and, eventually, its joie de vivre. Even if there are some rumbling cobble stones here or there, I think this movie is going as nicely as an ATV of the Zootopia Police Department an afternoon in a sunny avenue.
And, yeah, it’s a great compliment. \o/
I saw Zootopia. Damn.
So, so, so. I can’t really talk about it like that, without telling anything else. It’s been a long time that I waited for this movie, like a lot of us around here, I suppose; since the announcement of its concept. I won’t drag on over an autobiography, but my interest for other species than ours, and my taste for multispecies worlds and stories, bring me many times (not to say, “always”) to read, write, or imagine societies where cohabit a lot of different beasts.
Why is that so important to me? (Beside the fact we all assume it is utterly cool?) Because I consider that thinking about multispecies societies, wondering what would we do, and figuring out stories in these worlds remind us each second about altruism, about respect of the other behind the physical differences, and, above all, it remind us our essential equality, which takes its source in the very fact we are all people – or, if you allow me to be inaccurate in English in order to be more accurate in my French thoughts, the very fact that we are all persons. Thinking about living with other species, it’s forgetting for one moment that we are humans, and considering that there is something else than biology or taxonomic criteria that gather us : it’s our existence as thinking, sensitive, sapient, and free beings.
So, yeah, seeing my values, my tastes when it comes to imagination, and what and who I am, I couldn’t wait, I was anxious to see this movie. Without speaking about the fact that Disney, as the greatest of the “for young and old alike” animation studios, isn’t at its first try about putting on stage anthropomorphic animals. Yeah, “furries”.
To be true, as soon as I came out of the movies, I was satisfied. I wasn’t fulfilled, but, eventually, satisfied.
Now that I’m writing these lines and that I am reflecting about it, I can say that I am fulfilled by this movie in many points, and enough to make me forget the two-or-three defaults which remain. My rating indeed has grew about 0.5 point more during the writing of this opinion. (Which is a lot since I’m rating on a scale of 5. Just to say.)

The Boy and the Beast - KUMATETSU <3 (and every other thing)
Posted 9 years agoBecause each workart speaks to us according to our personality, this said, our way to see the world and our manneers, how we perceive this life, in short, what makes us who we are, this movie is a master piece on many, many points.
It moves me up to making me giving him a perfect 5/5. I can't do anything but telling you "GO SEE IT" - it comes out in US theaters the 3rd of March apparently. I can't do anything else, because right now, if my objective mind can make some remarks about one little scenario element a bit weird, the whole person I am and all my subjectivity are finding this movie well done, well done, thrice well done. Definetley one of the movie that touched me the most in my life - but of course I can't gurantee it will touch you the same. It depends on who your are, I suppose.
But, a human child raised by a bulky-tall-male-anthro-bear-warrior in a story of magic inside and personal development, between a human city and a furry world - how bad could it be, huh ?
And, Kumatetsu is just adorable, lovable, <3. And he get his shirts off. And he exercise in underwears. And he scratched his buttcheek once. The dilf fans around here would be served, served and re-served. Would you consider him as a father, as a senpai / professor / mentor, or as a friend, I found him perfect. And, and, his awesomeness is simply nnnnnh~
- But apart of being utterly desirable, his role and his incredibly cool character also make this movie fantastic. Like every other character, to the main, the girl, the side fellows, the antagonist. Wow wow wow.
Anyway, with a well structured first part, and above all a magnificient second part full of ideas, it's also because it's for me a movie that goes deep into its own subjects and matters, and which let me the feeling of a compelte, original story.
...I really can't tell more about this movie, because I could talk about it too much.
JUST GO SEE IT WHEN IT COMES OUT IN WHEREVER YOU LIVE. Because, for my part, I am really, really, really in love with this movie. x3
And, damn, that Kumatetsu ! :3

Achievement unlocked - 20th year of existence
Posted 9 years agoHi everyone !
Here I am : today was (and it's still in the US) my 20th anniversary.
Having a two in front of another number now is very strange.
Moreover, when I was 19, I could sometimes reflect and say to my self : "Okay, don't worry, you're only 19, it's alright" - now I'm 20.
Twenty. T-w-e-n-t-y.
I feel weird - but I suppose it's only a matter of time...? I guess. I hope. Meh. I try to don't think about it for now.
This year, I'll try not only to assert more myself, but also, it will be the year during which I'll decide where to make internships (for my resume, and eventually what I want to do with my life... Maybe in video games ?), and the second choice at an academic level, where I'll go abroad next year - would I go to the US, to Canada, to New-Zealand...?
I'm first hoping I'll be good enough in class to have a real right to choose the country I want to go to, but then I have to choose one that would really please me, or be useful to me, nor being to costly when it comes to standards of living... Arf. Lots of choices.
This year, I will also write my third theater play (I'm currently on it actually), and I will bring it on stage with the theater group I put together in November. I'm doing every thing from A to Z this time, so it's a lot of work ahead !
As I also want to keep working on Septentrion, this play actually takes place lots of year before the events in the said story. Not a prequel or a prologue, may be a sort of origin story, but as Septentrion has a lot of characters, coming from very various places, even from outter space, I try to focus on the past of some important characters. And, I wanted to work with science-fiction, and bring it on stage too. So, there I come !
That's basically why these last weeks were calm for my activity on FA : this theater play, this whole preparation (plus new classes since this January) took a lot of my free time, without speaking about Xenoblade Chronicles X from which I wanted to be inspired, too.
So for my year's priorities : it's about working for this academic stuff, getting my play ready and train with my group member (I really want them to be pleased to by the play too, of course, and having their opinions about it, and so on), and write always more about Septentrion.
But, as an editor for a Pokémon-fansite (called pokebip.com, the first French-spoken Pokémon fansite), I also want to work more effectively on my articles. I write about the Pokémon anime, so it's not that a big part of the complete Pokémon fandom, but it's still pretty important too, and I don't want them to feel like I'm getting less and less interested in the website.
And, finally, here come my FA plans. Translating one of my plays, pursuing my series (the second ALAAF chapter, the AIRMPS series), writing other new stories, making a fursona, training for drawings - not only the translation of other Septentrion extracts... Arf. I plan a lot as you see, but I can't tell you when it'll be done, with all that work ahead.
Still, you can be sure that I am almost everyday on FA, and that I have great plans for you all.
Oh, and, hm, maybe I'll also assume more myself for searching for people to... Get along with. I've met some people recently through FA, and I really hope we'll keep on chatting and knowing each other :3
I also take advantage of this journal to wish to everyone of you a very, very happy 2016 year. One year more in the future, youhou ! I'm feeling like a lot of things will happen this year, I don't know why...
But let's enjoy a more-or-less fresh start and may you have all my support for all your projects ! \o/

The obligatory Christmas special thing #2015
Posted 9 years agoA short blog-story about a bit of myself who wants to post something special for Christmas. Or not. I didn't write it following a stream of thoughts. It was all planned. Maybe ? OR NOT.
****
The persistent silence, fixed mood of the Christmas time. I didn't see it coming this year. The other former years I was either bored or either annoyed by this holiday ; this year it just came, a day, without any signal, and I simply realized one morning "oh, yeah, it's Christmas Eve tonight". It has passed, I had ate well, I had hugged people around a red and golden table, repeating "Merry Christmas". I welcomed the few unpersonal gifts I had as if it was a joke, as if we were all playing at Christmas. We had no snow, apparently the same all over the world - wasn't cold outside, it was more like humid - as if Nature wasn't prepared for this either. Or global warming.
Now on this Christmas evening day I was staring at the red table cloth and the foot of my transparent glass.
There were people working today despite all of this. There had been little kiddy kids all excited about receiving their wonderful presents carefully wrapped in glossing paper, soon torn apart, with these Christmas lies about a man dressed in red. Families were gathering and were chatting or playing or still eating. It was a special day on the calendar. Everyone was making or had already made something special for today.
I tried to set up my mind and calm down. If I wanted to do something for Christmas, I should have done it yesterday... I was only a few hour left. I couldn't post something on the 26th, right ? It would be a mess. Christmas would be over. It would not be a Christmas-thing. Every other artist seemed to have prepared and finished everything just at the right time. Why I hadn't think about it before ?!
Okay. Okay. Shhh. You could draw something. Something Christmassy. Yes.
- "Christmessy" ?
I SAID "CHRISTMASSY". It's... Er... A neologism.
- Yeah, indeed.
And, Kouranos ? What a Dragon like you do here anyway ? People don't even know about your existence yet. Well, they read about you showing off with Hiver, but they don't know your name yet - but what the hell are you doing here ?
- I dunno. I'm here if I want. Why are you all depressed ? You are writing depressing stuff on a Xmas day. Wow. Besides, if you want to write, you have others things to write. Like, more important stories. Like, the ones I am starring in.
I wanted to defend myself, but Kouranos had barely finished his sentence when a blue gator rushed into the room.
- Hey ! I have priority !
Feraligatr ? You here too ?
- Yeah. I'm here since the beginning, man. *The gator throw a thumb over his shoulder* And this little Linoone over there is still unconscious. I thought it would have woken up more quickly...?
But I wanted to do something special for Christmas !
The dragon crossed his arms :
- "Something special", "Christmassy", what's the whole thing about this holiday ? It's not that bad if you don't do anything.
If I don't... I will feel... I will feel...
- ...Yeah ?
...I don't know. I will feel like "I hadn't done anything for Christmas". Everything is Christmas and I am not Christmas. Christmas will pass and I would have just stared blankly at Christmas and in three months I will regret Christmas. Christmas would be gone.
- Gone until next year !
Hm.
- Well, as far a my blue scales and my gator bulk are concerned, you could have put some Christmas things in my sequel, or give a Christmas hat to me, I dunno, but you could have written...
Okay, okay, I'm sorry Feraligatr, I assure you I'll work on your sequel story, but...
That's obviously when other stomps were heard, and came with an anthro-prehistoric pride into the room.
- Wait, what sequel ?
Terence ?
- Yeah, that's me. I heard about another chapter ?
*the gator cut him curt* - Yes, mine.
- Yours ? Haha ! I'm sorry but my story has already two chapters - and did I mentioned the two alternative chapters ? - it's obvious my story is more cared about than other ones.
- WHAT ?!
Terence, please, don't add fuel to the fire. Feraligatr...
*the blue gator, obviously vexed* - Oh, say what you want. I am obviously vexed.
*sigh* I was wondering about what to do for Christmas, and you all...
- We all remind you that we are here to support you, added Kouranos.
Really ?
- Yes, really. Supporting you for writing our sequels.
But... Christmas...
- What about a Christmas short story ? proposed Terence.
"Short story" ? But I have no time... I don't write as fast in English as in French.
- Well, I said, "short" story.
Then it would be really short. And a story about what anyway ?
- Farting Christmas tree ?
- Farting Christmas beast ?
- Farting something with the word "snow" in some description ?
- Indeed something "Christmessy", hehe.
*sigh* Must it be kinky ?
- Why not ?
Why not clean stuff ?
- It's not me who hadn't fapped for three days and who kept thinking about dirty stuff because of that.
HEY THAT'S NOT-...
- Hm-mh ? You were saying something ?
...Uh. Okay, you're right.
- I know.
...But...
- Look, continued the dragon. Either you draw something BUT NO DROP THAT PENCIL, seeing how little time you have, you'll never make it...
- ...Either you try to write a small story to make yourself feel better, remarked the anthro-rex. Even if it is short and done pretty quickly, you would have done something for Christmas and you could focus back on your projects tomorrow.
- Speaking about your projects, what about your third theater play ? asked the gator. Have you moved on since the last time ?
...No.
- Hm okay !
*takes his courage with both hands* Then, I will courageously write something. *opens a new Word document* Wait for me, Internet, I come !
- Oh, boy…
*gets ready to write, but suddenly stops* …This said, what the others have done for Christmas ?
- You mean you hadn’t see their submissions yet ?
No. I use to keep them in a corner for, you know… For the surprise. This night or the other.
- Hm mh.
- *whispers* Guys, if he look at them…
- *whispers* You mean, all that sexy Christmas stuff ?
*goes on FA* Well then, what the others have done ?
- Huh, wait a minute, do not lay-
[Three minutes later]
…
- …
- …
- …
…Jeez.
- Maybe « jizz » would be more appropriate ?
- I say, that was predictable.
- At least you won’t keep thinking about kinky stuff now.
…I suppose so… But… My Christmas submission…
- Next time !
- And anyway, seeing how much time we just spent talking, you’d have had a very few left.
- The bright side of this is that you can now directly carry on working what you have to work on !
- He’s right.
Yeah… Probably.
- Still a Merry Christmas ?
…Yeah…
- Come on ! exclaimed the gator. Cheers ! It’s still a nice day ! I suppose.
- He’s still right !
- Surprising coming from him, but yes !
…*smiles* Okay… ! Merry Christmas you all~
- Merry Christmas !
*smiles, and realizes something green hanging under the ceiling* …Who hung mistletoe right over us ?
- Wow really ?
- Mistletoe ? Is that mistletoe ?
- It’s really strange, for sure.
Guys, we don’t even have this tradition in France.
- Yes we have !
- He just checked on Wikipedia.
- I checked on Wikipedia for him !
…Seriously ? So why anyone hadn’t ever done it around me ?
- There’s a beginning to everything I suppose.
- Better late than never !
…I see.
- Hehe.
- Well then, I suppose we must all kiss each other !
Why didn’t I see this coming ?
- The truth is, we’re sure that you’re actually pleased that this happens.~
…Indeed. ~

Merry Christmas to you ! And you ! And you ! And to each one of you ! ^3^ May all the things you ever wanted be with you for cheering your mind up, tightning close your soul and heatening up your spirit ! Heatening it in any way you want :3
****
The persistent silence, fixed mood of the Christmas time. I didn't see it coming this year. The other former years I was either bored or either annoyed by this holiday ; this year it just came, a day, without any signal, and I simply realized one morning "oh, yeah, it's Christmas Eve tonight". It has passed, I had ate well, I had hugged people around a red and golden table, repeating "Merry Christmas". I welcomed the few unpersonal gifts I had as if it was a joke, as if we were all playing at Christmas. We had no snow, apparently the same all over the world - wasn't cold outside, it was more like humid - as if Nature wasn't prepared for this either. Or global warming.
Now on this Christmas evening day I was staring at the red table cloth and the foot of my transparent glass.
There were people working today despite all of this. There had been little kiddy kids all excited about receiving their wonderful presents carefully wrapped in glossing paper, soon torn apart, with these Christmas lies about a man dressed in red. Families were gathering and were chatting or playing or still eating. It was a special day on the calendar. Everyone was making or had already made something special for today.
I tried to set up my mind and calm down. If I wanted to do something for Christmas, I should have done it yesterday... I was only a few hour left. I couldn't post something on the 26th, right ? It would be a mess. Christmas would be over. It would not be a Christmas-thing. Every other artist seemed to have prepared and finished everything just at the right time. Why I hadn't think about it before ?!
Okay. Okay. Shhh. You could draw something. Something Christmassy. Yes.
- "Christmessy" ?
I SAID "CHRISTMASSY". It's... Er... A neologism.
- Yeah, indeed.
And, Kouranos ? What a Dragon like you do here anyway ? People don't even know about your existence yet. Well, they read about you showing off with Hiver, but they don't know your name yet - but what the hell are you doing here ?
- I dunno. I'm here if I want. Why are you all depressed ? You are writing depressing stuff on a Xmas day. Wow. Besides, if you want to write, you have others things to write. Like, more important stories. Like, the ones I am starring in.
I wanted to defend myself, but Kouranos had barely finished his sentence when a blue gator rushed into the room.
- Hey ! I have priority !
Feraligatr ? You here too ?
- Yeah. I'm here since the beginning, man. *The gator throw a thumb over his shoulder* And this little Linoone over there is still unconscious. I thought it would have woken up more quickly...?
But I wanted to do something special for Christmas !
The dragon crossed his arms :
- "Something special", "Christmassy", what's the whole thing about this holiday ? It's not that bad if you don't do anything.
If I don't... I will feel... I will feel...
- ...Yeah ?
...I don't know. I will feel like "I hadn't done anything for Christmas". Everything is Christmas and I am not Christmas. Christmas will pass and I would have just stared blankly at Christmas and in three months I will regret Christmas. Christmas would be gone.
- Gone until next year !
Hm.
- Well, as far a my blue scales and my gator bulk are concerned, you could have put some Christmas things in my sequel, or give a Christmas hat to me, I dunno, but you could have written...
Okay, okay, I'm sorry Feraligatr, I assure you I'll work on your sequel story, but...
That's obviously when other stomps were heard, and came with an anthro-prehistoric pride into the room.
- Wait, what sequel ?
Terence ?
- Yeah, that's me. I heard about another chapter ?
*the gator cut him curt* - Yes, mine.
- Yours ? Haha ! I'm sorry but my story has already two chapters - and did I mentioned the two alternative chapters ? - it's obvious my story is more cared about than other ones.
- WHAT ?!
Terence, please, don't add fuel to the fire. Feraligatr...
*the blue gator, obviously vexed* - Oh, say what you want. I am obviously vexed.
*sigh* I was wondering about what to do for Christmas, and you all...
- We all remind you that we are here to support you, added Kouranos.

First "Septentrion" extract posted !
Posted 10 years agoHi everyone ! Just to tell you that you can find the first extract of my novel on FA now, on my dedicated account :
Dragon-Roar-At-Daybreak
Link to the extract : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18419750/
(And for those who are left to be convinced, the novel deals with a sexy male dragon) (and this extract is rated "mature") (and there's even some gas in it) (yay !)
But of course, it's above all the first step for me in the translation of my most important and most personal project.
At the beginning of it, I wanted to write a story and create a world of mine, with everything that could pleased me, where I could deal with any subject, and in which sensations of a whole life could be ideally found. So yes, it's about a pretty big project saying so, but its first aim is to be fun for me. An so I thought keeping it for myself, but when I came across you all on FA, and other general communities on Internet, I thought this story could have a chance to interest other people. So, well, here it is !
In hope to see you back on this project ! :3

Remaining helpless
Posted 10 years agoOkay. One hundred and twenty nine lives today, and many more can die because of their injuries. Thousands of existences killed.
I don't get it. I'm fed up with this. I know I am not the only one who don't get it and who are fed up with it. I know people are different. I know we do not all think in the same way. People even say that we can't change people. People talking, people dying, people killing people. Could have been my family, or my friends if they had decided to go out this night, or me if I had visited my friends, or if terrorists had decided to attack another point of the city - as for any Parisian here, for any citizen there. People say we can be attacked from everywhere, anywhere, at any time, since always. Others say that we are not afraid and must not to be afraid. Since years and years of being hopeful without any fact to reinforce my theories of happiness, for sure I can keep on being not afraid even if every fact wants to push us into despair.
I don't know why I feel the need to write this. I'm alone, like a lot of us. So, this. Please understand. I only do this because of an alone person being me. If I have someone to speak to, I would do so, and would not bother everyone with another fucking message about what fucking happened. So, sorry about talking about myself and my feelings, but it's the only damn pathetic thing I can talk about, besides the facts that everybody know yet.
I don't know if wanting to be with someone is an essential need for an aware existence, or a thing that other people want us to need. I want things to change so hard and try to see things in such way that I wonder if anyone can be with me. What undermines me is that we're a lot to think the same thing, and to be simply alone on our sides, not able to act and live as we are and exist.
I can't manage to work. Work is simply for earning money. I want to try my best to change the things that make us unhappy. I am sincerely honest when I say I think we could all be if everyone just wanted to. Maybe I could do this by working, trying to act over the world, but when people are laughing at you and telling you "buddy, you have to make it economically viable first, and then we'll talk", it's obvious that things will never change.
So I try to write as a pitiful chance to make a sort of medicine. "It pleases me, so it may please people." Maybe it would push them to change, or to assume what they are, too. Society is made of people. Why is it so fucking damn hard to believe that society can be changed ?
...It's late and I'm done about crying for tonight. Tiredness hangs to me very hard and maybe made me write all of this. I don't care. It is just the way it is. I believed acting as you wanted everyone to act would be useful. But being respectful, open-minded, and prompt to help as nicely as you try, when you see bastards, or mean comments, acting, ignoring or talking everywhere is a hard price when you get nothing in return than complete loneliness and many words in various files.
I tried to get rid of the "the way people look at you". Y'know, that "do whatever you want and don't mind what people think or tell about you". I didn't succeed. It's hard, because of these words, because of websites like this one, who only give people a white square to express themselves. It's hard because people won't see these as words, or this as a white square dedicated to expression. They will see these as complaining, as signs of distress, or sign of a moronic-random-lack-of-affection guy on the Internet. Things cannot be just what they are. And I'm losing myself in another shed tearing verse. Great.
I have to go to sleep and not sleep enough because of the educational system, or because of me, as you want. It won't change anything for today.

News on the next submissions - Sept 2015
Posted 10 years agoI had been working on everything at the same time for now, and I write this journal just to explain what happens to those who were wondering or hoping for a new submission before the mid september.
0) Almost my entire summer had been filled with finding a place to live for my studies, preparing my departure, dealing with the bank, stressing about inscription papers and dealing with mails. Moreover I really wanted to finish a fanfiction (so, in French) on Pokémon that lasted for 4 years and a half - and which is maybe the longest of my works actually. I wanted to be done with it before the mid-august, and I succeed after days and days of hard writing - I never felt so tired and bothered by a writing despite absolutely loving the story and its characters... I still deeply love them, but please, no more deadlines, no more fans begging for the sequel, and no more obligations for a personal work. Well then, it's finished and well finished, so I am very content with it, but that is to say it kept me busy too.
1) Settling in a new city for my studies and discovering my new school took me some time to get used and rest. I still have strong relations with the capital though, so still available there (if anyone would ask for).
For the FA part :
2) I went on and went back on both "A Linoone and a Feraligatr 2" and "AIRMPS - Day 2" at the same time, without having made my mind up until recently. The verdict is I should post the sequel of "this wolf and this rex in a hotel" first. I am completing the last paragraphs, doing my proofreading and then I should adapt it to the other version before giving it to those who are waiting for it. The sequel to ALAAF 2 should be reported after I would post at least one thing related to Septentrion.
3) By the beginning of September I have been working on Septentrion too (wow perfect transition). Living now finally alone allow me more free time, and I am inclined to want it to be productive. That can explain why I have been working on too much things at the same time since and why nothing had truly moved to the next step. Anyway, after the release of "AIRMPS Day 2", I shall work for a while on this novel that is basically one of the main point of my life.
The thing is that FA should not been left aside, since I created an account reserved for posts related to Septentrion for 10 days now (I spoke about it in my previous journal). So working on Septentrion (in French) would also lead me to translate extracts and put them on FA, from simple exposition scenes to NSFW. Translating also helps me to spread the story - I plan on publishing some about Septentrion on Tumblr too, but if anyone has an idea of websites opened to fictions (and not fanfictions), I would be glad to know them.
4) I try to develop my skills at illustrating, or drawing more generally. I bought a tablet at the end of summer so my future artworks should be done with it, should they be related to Septentrion (thus on
dragon-roar-at-daybreak ) or to any other thing (on this main account), SFW or not.
5) A bit linked with point 4, I wonder whether or not creating another account on FA on which I would have an actual fursona. I never did really had one of this account, on which I am simply myself posting stories. If this plan of getting a fursona comes to a successful conclusion, and if I get this third account, it would be focused on this character, his watches, and favorites. Just want to have a character, first for fun, and then to feel more implied in the community. I wonder about creating an account of his own because having this sona on this SilverZekrom account make me feel difficult to manage both of my personnality and his. I still need to feel the difference between him and I, even if we're close by definition. I don't know if you understand... What do you think ? Is it a good idea to make another account for him ? Just to have some opinions about since you're the only ones who are concerned about it, hehe.
I think I have said all I wanted to say about "what was taking me time". Please give me your ideas and opinions about it, or ask any question if you want to know more about something !
Good night to everyone~ ^w^

New side account - "Septentrion" only
Posted 10 years agoHey everyone !
Just to warn you that I created another account on FA which shall be reserved for extracts, news, artworks or anything related to the novel I'm writing for nearly two years now, Septentrion. Right here :
dragon-roar-at-daybreak
If you want to be aware of or follow what is to come, you can watch it too. All that I can say for now about this novel is it that it involves a dragon, fantasy, sf, furries, scalies, romance, adventures, humor and frank outspokenness - that means that I don't want this story to be censored at all. I let you think what it can means ~
Anyway I shall speak about Septentrion through this main account so you can always wait and see the extracts I'll post here, and see if you're interested in following the account that is dedicated to it.
Thanks you all for your support !

Jurassic World - The wow factor
Posted 10 years agoSidenote : I wrote these feelings yesterday evening after having seen the movie on the morning, but I was too tired to post it... So here it is !
I really want to insist on the fact that is only my opinion ; I don't want to see me as a professional critic or anything like that. Just saying what I've thought about this movie, and I thought it can help for instance if anyone is hesitating about watching it or not ^o^
Personal note : 4,5 / 5.
*inspires*
*expires*
I watched Jurassic World.
Saying that I was eager to watch it is of course a euphemism...
I am in awe in front of dinosaurs and others extincted reptiles since I'm a kid.
Since the day I saw the Jurassic Park trilogy, I only waited one thing in the reptilo-cultural theme : the coming out of a fourth movie, prone to rumors since 2001, was only stirring me up.
Well... I have still difficulties to realize I just saw it, that's saying something.
That's also saying that the following opinion might be absolutely biased, coming from a passionate. Anyway.
I will not do real spoils ; that is to say I will only make allusion to what had been shown in the first trailer, or by the movie director (Colin Trevorrow) before the coming-out of the movie, speaking about his intentions.
What's important in this sequel, what is really making it apart, to my mind, is the new perspective brought on the story.
I think that a new “Jurassic” movie, after so many years, means here a real taking into account of this new era, this new public, but up to this new relation with the fantastic.
At the beginning of movie, the park is opened for a decade or something, and welcomes around 20,000 visitors a day. And what happened with those happy masses of people, in the long run ? They do not get entertained anymore. They knew about resurrected dinosaurs. They got accustomed to it. Thus the park is losing visitors. New dinosaurs, new attractions are making the park last ; but it needs something bigger, greater, something that could really attract people, something that was never seen before. So comes the idea of creating a new species, by mixing what you want of super-cool as long as it brings life to something more impressive, more frightening. Entertaining more and more and more. To a point, of course, which make the whole thing out of control, and, in our case, eating people.
Isn't it what the public asks for now, above all about fantastic movies ? Don't some complain about lack of innovation ? How many are still marveled by the realism of our special effects ?
I think that's why I appreciate blockbusters. Despite everything ; the fantastic.
The blasé public of nowadays look more at his phone than at the formidable species that is in front of them. And the crowd hungry of awesome things are running for seeing the feeding of a carnivore, shooting photos, videos, and stuff. Even one of the heroes, if his presence at the beginning of the film may be seen as a slight caricature of “young nowadays people”, is staring more at young girls passing by than at dinosaurs.
...This done nothing but breaking my heart. The fact is that, to my mind, Jurassic World represents so well the over-crowded theme park concept whose tourists are not even more impressed by a stegosaurus than an elephant anymore, quoting Claire (played by Bryce Dallas Howard). Was an elephant ever been impressive ? To the kids, the first time, maybe... ? But later, one cthey grew up...? Of course on a website like FA I think that most of us still know that others species are wonderfully interesting.
This brings me to another point I would like to deal with and that quite annoyed me, a critic of a French newspaper Le Point (to which the movie has clearly been a mess) :
"The movie is way to violent for kids, who are often big dinosaurs fans. […]"
Let me be clear.
If there is something I hate in marketing, it is that themes may finished associated with a specific public. In our case, “dinosaurs” = “kids”.
Human species finds itself so egocentric and thinks itself so far from other species than it maybe forgot the beauty of the nature diversity – but maybe you're already aware of that so I don't expatiate on it.
Thanks to the magical aura of the past or I-don't-know-which marketing operations in the long run, we have came to a point where savage, unknown creatures, who have dominated our planet and crashed the prehistorical lands are way too often reduced to a kid toy. A carnivore 20 centimeters teeth,three times and a half our height (I don't even talk about his size snout to tail), evolved for a ferocious life, can be used as a kind educational character.
There is a paradox I can't manage to explain, when we consider that snakes, sharks or spiders are pretty under-represented this way (I'm not saying there are no one of these, but well, I think it's clear enough).
So yes sir, carnivorous dinosaurs killed to eat, while panicking or for sport. That's the way it is sir.
Let's get back to the movie... I don't even know where to begin. Maybe the good surprises. I tell you now that I hadn't unpleasant ones ; considering the feeling of both nervousness and hope that laid in me.
I was first worried y this plot of dinosaur creation. Well, it's really pertinent and assumed, in the spirit of the critique of the public entertainment I was dealing with earlier : something greater for a public accustomed to the T-Rex, as Trevorrow stated. The movie, built over a mythical brand, accept its own exaggeration simply talking about commercial logic ; and the whole scenario, because the dinosaurian creation is its main subject, is built over the consequences of this massive entertainment, going crescendo. Isn't it well done ?
Then I was told about Owen, Chris Pratt's character, who is a dinosaur trainer. I was very worried about seeing the said specimen being treated like dogs, thing that appeared a zillion times in american movies. But thanks Colin Trevorrow : this is not the case at all. It is perfectly handled in the movie, to my mind.
As for the scenario, I don't really see of what some people are complaining about. It is according to me as dense as the first Jurassic Park movie – which was, according to the blasé mind of some critics, just a park where dinosaurs were created, and then oh my god a storm, so the characters are confined on the island and lost, olala, will they survive to all these teeth and scales). Here, it is not a surprise, the created dinosaur is about to be problematic when it comes to being out of control in an crowded theme park.
The music... Michael Giacchino (who is the compositor of numerous fantastic themes of great and big movies since the 2000s) cooked to his way the wonderful theme of John Williams. What can I say aside that it is a real part of the movie's wow factor.
Actors are cool. All is made to make them cool, Pratt ahead. It influences the atmosphere of the movie, which finds itself like an action-adventure movie of the 80-90s with the actual technology and special effects, which allow us to watch a really beautiful movie. As reminds us this dear quotation from Le Point, the "violence" of the movie is maybe slightly greater to what we've been accustomed with the previous Jurassic movies (it may be due to the realism of the special effects), but it is justified. This said, this setting of the cool-attitude isn't too visible in the movie ; it mixes with this modern atmosphere that Trevorrow succeeds to create in this Jurassic World, and which make we're believing it. At least, I believed in it.
Chris Pratt is way more convincing than I thought first. He's a good guy. \o/
I simply hope we will not see him too much... I mean, I do love him, but if we have him everywhere, as main character in every next blockbuster, he's about to lose its savor, even becoming grotesque, you see ? Even if it's that's a bad start when you see his growing popularity. Huh.
I had difficulties with Bryce Dallas Howard at first. I was finding her extremely cold, as if she had been trying to convince herself she was playing in Jurassic World – but I thin I've learnt during the movie that this behavior was part of her character of a bit blind scientist who didn't know the beauty of live.
As for the others, no problem, with kids who aren't unbearable, even if the movie “bad guy” seems barely believable to my taste. And it's always funny to hear Omar Sy speaks French here and there ; he may be not enough used, but it's way better than his very little part in X-Men : Days of Future Past. I really hope he will come back in the sequel, to see him a bit more as a friend for Owen. Oh, yes,, Trevorrow and the movie itself let us think that there will be a sequel to Jurassic World, even if it is not this director who will make it... What ? Don't tell me you haven't understand entertainment logic ?
To conclude :
So yes, the movie may kill the fan with an overdose (see every fucking thing in this movie) – but is it not what we all want when we go to see Jurassic World ? More awesome dinos, more flying reptiles, and even now, marine reptiles ? (FINALLY <3 )
So yes, on paper, it is not so new visually or for plot-related matters... But aren't dinosaurs more realistic ? Don't we let us see them in 3D today (3D that is useful enough in this movie) ? Is there not a new atmosphere inspired from the winds of the ancient times of cinema of adventures ? We do we expect from this type of movie, exactly ?
I think that Jurassic World is really standing on this very effect of greedy spectator's logic, up to offering us a wider point of view about our society of entertainment and our relation to the fantastic than at first sight.
There is a undeniable atmosphere, a monstrous final, and the movie seems new enough to me while building carefully over what his predecessor had left.
I didn't really expatiate on it either, but the movie had a speech not too clumsy about the place of mankind in front of nature, of beasts, of life they think they can be controlled – a lesson of humility, of course.
The director wanted we discover the park in a marveled state, through the eyes of a 11-years old boy – as far as I was concerned I didn't have any difficulty to be marveled in front of these species, but I think it's what one does not forget. I mean, not the 11-years old boy ; the mere fact that every thing and all that is literally fantastic. That it is not so granted.
And damn ! Fucking dinosaurs ! \o/
I really want to insist on the fact that is only my opinion ; I don't want to see me as a professional critic or anything like that. Just saying what I've thought about this movie, and I thought it can help for instance if anyone is hesitating about watching it or not ^o^
Personal note : 4,5 / 5.
*inspires*
*expires*
I watched Jurassic World.
Saying that I was eager to watch it is of course a euphemism...
I am in awe in front of dinosaurs and others extincted reptiles since I'm a kid.
Since the day I saw the Jurassic Park trilogy, I only waited one thing in the reptilo-cultural theme : the coming out of a fourth movie, prone to rumors since 2001, was only stirring me up.
Well... I have still difficulties to realize I just saw it, that's saying something.

About diversity
Posted 10 years agoHey ! I'm not about to write something consequent or philosophical but only telling you that I will start to post non-fetish stories, and even a SFW piece of work (yes, yes). Don't say I haven't warned you >:3
Of course I won't (like, never) give up with what some people are following me for, but I also want to write other things, you know, just to write other things~
I hope you'll enjoy it too ! :3
And I want to thank all my followers too (since I am not thanking everyone one by one >///< ), they brought me a lot of courage for carrying on writing \o/

News on the next submissions - Feb 2015
Posted 10 years agoHolidays already ! This said, after the last rush for the third week of the year of mock competitive exams, and after exhausting dilemmas, with the joyful racist-LGBTIphobic-narrow-minded family stuff - well, I don't say no to holidays.
I'll try to enjoy these days to relax and go further in my reading, writing, studying (duh) and video game playing (Monster Hunter, yay !). Oh, movie watching too ! And, I must sleep.
Hm.
So many things to do when you have time, and so few time when you have enjoyable things to do... (<- un-revolutionary thought.)
Enough speaking about me - I don't like to do so anyway. I'm here to tell you that, having time, I'll try to finish a story for FA ( - try - ), in the MH world actually. Great gods, I've never read a fetish story about this fandom - while so many things could be imagined ! So many creatures and contact and bestial situations and WYVERNS and- well, you got it.
As a strong defender of any monster, and known during role-playing as the-guy-who-don't-want-to-kill-dragons, it had been a sort of joke when my friends knew I began to play Monster Hunter (three, two years ago ? It was few months after the release of MH3U in our western lands) - this is to say that even if the concept don't excite you, it's a really good, great game to know, well done graphically and musically. They even made an effort for the plot for MH4U (yes, yes, believe me ; I was a bit speechless in MH3U with the : "lolz an earthquake it must be the Lagiacrus so go kill the Lagiacrus" *leaves to kill a beautiful beast, saying to himself "well, it's to save people, let's say it's to save people"* *comes back after that slaughter* *earthquake* "ho crap an earthquake but you have killed the Lagiacrus so it was not the Lagiacrus oh crap lolz" DID YOU MEAN YOU SEND ME KILL THIS WONDERFUL BEAST THOUGH YOU HAVE NO PROOF OF HIS RESPONSIBILITY - in fact I'm still speechless, huh.) So at least a bit of a plot now. Oh, and this game could be very challenging sometimes, but if you play calmly, as you want (away from all the too-serious-or-overly-competitive players I mean) it is a eally exotic, vivid adventure :D (and these monsters can be captured, and so could be seen sleeping, and there is few things as cute and beautiful as sleeping wyverns/any burly reptile, tired after a long battle :3)
So when I have done this story, I would have posted the three stories I have announced three months ago. The next stories will really be as I describe them on my profile : they would depend of my envies and time and often of my fandom / world / ideas of the moment. I thought about doing commissions, but I don't think I could permit myself doing so this year - and after all I don't even know if I have the "level" to do so, in English or in the mere quality of writing. And maybe I still want to write with my own ideas...? I don't really know ; sometimes talking with the others could bring amazing plots...
...Hm. It's really strange to write these journals... I never thought it useful, and somehow weird to not speak directly to someone, but I think it remains important to write here, from time to time. I don't know why. It's maybe reassuring. I don't know for who neither... Meh.
I hope you're fine, on your side ! \o/
(And, once again, excuse me for any mistake or weird syntaxes I could have make up here ^^' I'm never sure of myself when it comes to writing English, I always kept thinking it's incomprehensible.)

Maintaining hope
Posted 10 years agoToday, I've finally finished the dragon story I have planned for long. I love it, but it trully was a gruelling work. But I'm happy to post it, on this website.
I know I shouldn't speak of it... I mean ; it's extremely important, but so desperating, sad, and overly related by the news... And FA is a bit like a protected island in the middle of all this cruelty...
...
The situation is quite weird for few days - here, in Paris.
Some fucking, fanatic bastards had shot at some values of the universal rights of all conscious beings.
Let alone the lives they thought they had the right to take.
...When I came out today and yesterday, I had the impression that every people in the streets were thinking about it. Everybody speak about it, actually. Our professors cried. The day of national mourning permeated the whole society, even the usually stiff people in the metropolitan.
The minute of silence we had, with all the students, outside, in the courtyard, in the rain...
I knew that terrorists existed. I knew about fire guns, death, and these crual things that manipulate people, play on their fears, use their beliefs.
But with the last event, I saw, again, some of our people post terrible messages of hate through Internet. I saw other people who, I'm sure, are only revolted to mimic the others, or, months ago, who would have insulted some caricaturists, promotion of gay marriage, or would have wrote some racist words.
Let alone that ridiculous lie about all that humanity is - you know, all that make us have secrets, or do anonymous things. As coming on this site, for example. Being anonymous and secret, to do and be what we really are, or to do only what we only want to do.
I'm glad that Internet exist as a place where mankind could be as it is. Thus we can all enjoy our bodies, thoughts, dreams, for lack of anything better when we look at our hypocritical society. Sadly, anonimity also mean that Internet is the place of the worse of our kind - intensely hostile men and women, who had no respect for any who would be judged different, abnormal ; who wouldn't be like them, who would not have their overly narrow minds.
Freedom... Freedom of speech, of thought... What are those pseudonyms, "safe" rated artworks, and the intimate thoughts we have, if these noble freedoms are actually applied, nowadays ? With the freedom of the press we have, it could be seen as a step forwards ; but we all know that it's only the tip of the iceberg, when you look at what humanity is.
After all these years of existence, seeing this Homo Sapiens, the most evolved species on this planet, ruining everything, everyday, said doomed, and making nothing to change... All these horrible people, around the world, ready to cut your throat and make you speechless, in the name of irrationnal, groundless fears...
...
I personnally think that only art could have a chance to change something. The only magical thing in our society which is left to us, to fight for a better world. Express yourself ; write things, draw things, create those pieces of imagination that could fill that society with wonder, or at least that could show them that an other point of view exist. That's the only way to fight against evil - and I mean by this hackneyed word all that could harm people in their essence, that is to say their body, consent and individuality. The only way to have the complete freedom we deserve, since we are all aware of our existence, in a climate of well-founded respect.
That's why I'm gladder that places like FA exist. Even if there's always the anonymity matter, and even it has a little place in the middle of this world, seeing a majority of liberated individualities who show tolerance among others, who can even share their artworks, and be kind... That's one of the few things that still makes me hopeful. ^o^
...I'm writing a lot of things on my side, as always. It's a lot more easy to write in French, for sure. Lately, I came across the mad, time-consuming idea of translate a part of my work. Maybe, when it'll be done, I would post it here.
But, among all the sentences I could write, my main goal remains the book I'm writing. I really wish I had more time to work on. You know, that piece of pure freedom of speech and thought... Of Imagination. I always keep it with me. That's another source of hope.
That's all what I wanted to say, I think. It may be a bit mixed up ; sorry for it. I just wanted to write something, somewhere. To take my mind off the gunshots that had resounded in this "country of the Human Rights", maybe...
I know I shouldn't speak of it... I mean ; it's extremely important, but so desperating, sad, and overly related by the news... And FA is a bit like a protected island in the middle of all this cruelty...

Let alone that ridiculous lie about all that humanity is - you know, all that make us have secrets, or do anonymous things. As coming on this site, for example. Being anonymous and secret, to do and be what we really are, or to do only what we only want to do.
I'm glad that Internet exist as a place where mankind could be as it is. Thus we can all enjoy our bodies, thoughts, dreams, for lack of anything better when we look at our hypocritical society. Sadly, anonimity also mean that Internet is the place of the worse of our kind - intensely hostile men and women, who had no respect for any who would be judged different, abnormal ; who wouldn't be like them, who would not have their overly narrow minds.
Freedom... Freedom of speech, of thought... What are those pseudonyms, "safe" rated artworks, and the intimate thoughts we have, if these noble freedoms are actually applied, nowadays ? With the freedom of the press we have, it could be seen as a step forwards ; but we all know that it's only the tip of the iceberg, when you look at what humanity is.
After all these years of existence, seeing this Homo Sapiens, the most evolved species on this planet, ruining everything, everyday, said doomed, and making nothing to change... All these horrible people, around the world, ready to cut your throat and make you speechless, in the name of irrationnal, groundless fears...
...
I personnally think that only art could have a chance to change something. The only magical thing in our society which is left to us, to fight for a better world. Express yourself ; write things, draw things, create those pieces of imagination that could fill that society with wonder, or at least that could show them that an other point of view exist. That's the only way to fight against evil - and I mean by this hackneyed word all that could harm people in their essence, that is to say their body, consent and individuality. The only way to have the complete freedom we deserve, since we are all aware of our existence, in a climate of well-founded respect.
That's why I'm gladder that places like FA exist. Even if there's always the anonymity matter, and even it has a little place in the middle of this world, seeing a majority of liberated individualities who show tolerance among others, who can even share their artworks, and be kind... That's one of the few things that still makes me hopeful. ^o^
...I'm writing a lot of things on my side, as always. It's a lot more easy to write in French, for sure. Lately, I came across the mad, time-consuming idea of translate a part of my work. Maybe, when it'll be done, I would post it here.
But, among all the sentences I could write, my main goal remains the book I'm writing. I really wish I had more time to work on. You know, that piece of pure freedom of speech and thought... Of Imagination. I always keep it with me. That's another source of hope.
That's all what I wanted to say, I think. It may be a bit mixed up ; sorry for it. I just wanted to write something, somewhere. To take my mind off the gunshots that had resounded in this "country of the Human Rights", maybe...
A cheerful 2015 to everyone !
Posted 10 years agoHAPPY. NEW. YEAR.
"OH-MY-GOD-2015-IS-SO-THE FREAKING-YEAR-OF-THE-FUTURE YOU KNOW LIKE IN BACK TO THE FUTURE WITH FLYING CARS AND AUTO-LACING SHOES AND OVERBOARDS AND FUTURISTIC STUFF AND-" *calm down*
*insert motivating and enthusiastic wishes*
But, jokes apart, have a good year, have good, sunny days in spite of all the weather you could have ; don't worry, and don't forget what really counts to you ^3^
(And, on the top of that, I almost finished the next story, which would be nearly twice long as the last (or in two parts I'll post simutaneously), and that I'll put on FA before winter's holidays ending... Wanted to give it before the Eves, but time didn't help 3: And I really don't want to spoil my proofreading / want to be sure I wrote all in the best way I could :3 At least it would still be a time of great-occasions-great-meals-great-winter atmosphere ~ )
HAVE A GOOD YEAR, AND ALL THAT WILL COME NEXT. \o/
Edit : I just saw that I logged in for the first time on FA a year ago... Hm. Interesting. I think. o_o

Happy winter holidays !
Posted 10 years ago(Well, it as yesterday, but family and stuff made that I couldn't have done this 3: )
So, merry Christmas and happy winter holidays ! Hope you enjoy all this snow, pine trees and cold weather to enjoy even more warm and wonderful days \o/

Huh.
Posted 11 years agoI'm getting more and more aware of the fact that writing kinky things really take more time than ever other writings. I don't think English is a problem - or maybe, yeah, in a way that I don't automatically think in English language - but it clearly takes time to write entire sentences without losing attention on words, and indulging in its own thoughts.
And having three billions of things to do in the same time, all of this being immersed in this semi-bored semi-inspired state of mind, in this cloudy late afternoon/grey evening... Huh.
Anyway, I clearly didn't want to complain ; just to tell that progressing words by words without posting anything is quite frustrating, as it seems I'm not working on anything.
...
Well, I'm trying to find something else to say, but nothing comes to my mind. Hm, I could speak about what I'm writing, or at least trying to write ? For FA, one Trainer/Charizard story (not really revolutionary on paper, in my opinion), one heroic-fantasy-a-bit-random-character/Dragon story, and one Monster Hunter story, as I never read or even saw one on such subjects. The Part 2 of A Linoone and his Feraligatr will come after these, or between, but, of course, will be done, as in the first title, "Part 1" precision promises it.
Besides it... Actually, I write plays, as well as a it-will-take-me-my-whole-life novel, in which I put all my hopes. On another side, Pokémon fanfictions, and Pokémon anime based articles for a website in my first language (as I had been taken as an editor for three years now). Not really active on Facebook, not registered on other "social website"... I try to find time to finish an umpteenth career in Mass Effect, and raise Pokémon. Watching movies when time agrees. Reading books since literary studies gave me back the desire to. A really few but choosen books, I think. Hm. I'm pretty afraid of the idea of copying something, so I don't want to read too much - it could be the explanation.
That's all for the imaginative side.
Huh, I don't know why I'm writing all of this, as it is easily uninteresting, since it doesn't really stand out of the crowd.
In any case, I hope you're all fine ! ^3^
PS: Thanks to all of you who are watching me / has added to its favorites further to my first posted story ! It's truly encouraging \o/
