Another Anime Review

Hello my kittens~
I know I know where the hell have I been?
But considering that last course I've been having exams from 
MARCH all the way to MAY 
I think I have a good reason~
and yes I took another summer course because what is life XD
I've also had a lot of shit to deal with but anyways let's get to the good stuff~


This is a Horror/Mystery anime
which got me quite interested
~~

I usually watch Shounen and pretty much anything that has no connection to this world
because I'm bored of normal stuff XD
but this one is pretty good

it's a great mix of creepy and normal
they also do this thing where they only give you a little bit 
just so you can't go on living without watching the next episode
As a human being with the attention span of a squirrel 
I don't like watching more than 2-3 episodes of anything per day
Including Psycho-Pass
(which is considered one of my top favourite)

But this one...
I finished it in one sitting XD
I couldn't stop watching!!
It starts off slow but things pick up from the 3 episode
where you start questioning your life

and honestly I gotta hand it to them I'm usually pretty good at predicting what happens
especially in the mystery genre
but they had me fooled all along
The plot twists are a killer
I love the story

But I hated the ending...
it was one of those ending that tie up all loose ends
I DON'T LIKE THAT IN HORROR/MYSTERY
I like the endings that keep me up at night wondering WTF

but all and all this anime is very very good
there's 13 episodes in total starting from 0-12

So go watch it if you're into this genre 
cause the animation is good,
the story is great, the characters, the development and the whole thing
it's worth the watch~

Hopefully I'll be back to posting regularly but considering I have 3 classes for summer 
and I'm signing up for KISR in August
I don't think I have time to breathe
But I'll try talking about nutty stuff

Especially since Watch Dogs is going to be released in 3 days~~ 
I already pre-ordered my game
Did you???

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for the next post~
Love and kisses to all <3

Infamous: Second Son Game Review

Hello my kittens~
OK let's talk next-Gen games <3
Which also brings the topic I did get my PS4 earlier this month
Her name is Marxine btw
*I name my electronics OK?*

Anyways~
I got Infamous: Second Son
even though I was very reluctant to do so since the first infamous games were not very good
*I'm trying to be nice*
But
OMG
was this game good
it was soo fucking good when I finished it I didn't know what to do with my life
The graphics game was A fucking +
The emotional response of the characters
made me freaking tear up
you know that face you pull when you try not to cry
those tiny muscle twitches
AMAAAAAZING
5/5 for graphics

Needless to say I loved Delsin Rowe
and I loved all the characters honestly, every single character whether it was minor or not was flawless
Augustine *The main villian* was spot on.
The story build up was great; it wasn't one of those action games with so-so stories
also gets another 5/5 for story and characters' development

Gameplay
It was fun; if you ever played the older infamous games *I played the first almost broke it*
you'll know there's huge improvement
I enjoyed the gameplay a lot; it wasn't too easy like DmC
which made that game not so interesting
this game gives you a decent bite to it
and the gameplay isn't very hard
gets 4.5/5

For God's sake go get the game if you have a PS4
it's amazing, I loved it so freaking much
*shamelessly posts my own art XD*
But the game inspired me so much that I needed to draw Delsin
There's most likely going to be more fanart related to this awesome game!

I totally recommend this for the "next-Gen" not to next-gen since they're out now
but yeah
Go GET IT!

Thanx for reading and stay tuned for the next post~
Love and Kisses to all~~ <3

Thoughts about the Final Fantasy XIII series

Hello my Kittens~
Today's post is more of a rant/me talking from a personal perspective about a game series


That Series is FFXIII 
Which the triology came to conclusion a month or so ago.


I'm not going to spoil anything so don't worry
But in all seriousness; maybe the series wasn't the best? But personally I liked the characters a lot. They were very relate-able, very human. They weren't exaggerated nor were they extremely unrealistic like most fictional characters; which is why I think they got a lot of hate, they were flawed; they were messed up, but above all they were human   
That's why they weren't very well liked, they were selfish, scared, They were 
Like us
They were weak
Not the flashy Heroes who come to save the day
Honestly I liked all the characters
yes I was annoyed by some *cough*Vanille*cough*
But I didn't go bashing the series for making the characters as human as possible.
The ending was decent though

But to be fair the first game's gameplay mechanics were crap
~~

While the second was better in the first in one thing which is the gameplay system
*I liked it BITE ME*
The story was less effective 
and a bit confusing to be honest
But the ending is what annoyed the living shit out of me

I invested in that game!! so I was extremely annoyed by the ending....

~~~
Let's talk the last game
Lightning returns
So I've heard and read in so many places that the ending in Lightning Returns FFXIII was shit...
And let me tell you something IT WASN'T!!
The story in this one was very interesting
I liked the arc and the changes happening
I liked the afflictions and the characters
Most of all I liked how Lightning became 
 No spoilers remember?

But for those who were bashing the ending are the same ones 
who say the best game was FFVII 
Ignoring all the glorious line of Final Fantasy games
mind you I love FFVII to the point of obsession
but to just keep comparing every single game in the franchise to it is ridiculous 
I wish people would stop that

I loved the ending
it gave me goosebumps and had me tear up at parts
Yes I am more emotionally invested in "fictional" *they're real to me* characters 
than to actual humans sue me
I loved it so much!
I also liked the extra twist they made at the end
had me really happy about the whole thing

The ending of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
made it worth all that for me
~~~

BTW 
if you played a game in your youth chances are your nostalgia is what makes it
look so great
I'm not saying that the game might not be,
cause I still play Pokemon Red from time to time and it's still awesome
Stop comparing games to old ones

It will save you a lot of headache
Don't get a game expecting a specific thing
*OK basic things like a decent story and gameplay are required*
it might make you more open to different games 
or games you said you won't buy again
Just try to enjoy it don't just judge it
but if you don't like it, in the end it's your opinion.


Ok that's it for this rambling mess
I will go back to Infamous Second son now
Which has a whole goddamn post deserving of it's splendours 


Thanx for reading and stay tuned for the next post~
Love and kisses to all >3

I am Aromantic

Hello my kittens~
I know it's been way too long since I last posted anything... 
But I totally blame Uni... 
And the fact my laptop suffered some hardware malfunction
But today I'm going to do a more serious type of post
About Aromantism;


Why am I talking about a romantic orientation on my blog?
Mainly because I barely found any personal talk about it;
Usually it's grouped with asexuality and that's not true
because a romantic orientation is different than a sexual orientation

So what is Aromantism?
It's the inability to feel romantic love towards a sexual interest
OK I'm being very broad here; since there are Aromantics who do experience it a little
but I'm giving you the general idea.

I don't want to put it in a specific mold of rules because we all know that's not how it works;
I am however going to talk about my personal experiences living with it
and how I got reactions from the people around me;

OK so here it goes~
My entire life this idea was shoved down my throat that I need to find love
and have a wedding and have tons of kids...
I never understood the need for that;
as I grew up girls around me started falling in love and getting boyfriends
I got asked so many times
"Noor why don't you get a boyfriend? You're cute you can get one."
or
"Why don't you find a guy to love?"
I never felt like I needed it
I don't need romantic love to feel complete
I feel fine the way I am; mind you I am not asexual
if anything I'm sapoiosexual but that's a whole blog on it's own.
I do experience sexual attraction and I have sexual interests yes
BUT
I don't experience ROMANTIC attraction
I love my friends, family. cat. electronics, fictional characters
all in a none-romantic kind of way
Maybe my laptop is special but oh well
But here's the thing we are not devoid of emotion
Just because I don't love like you don't mean something is wrong with me.
And the worst of them all is
"You just didn't find the right person yet"
BITCH GO JUMP OF A CLIFF!
Imagine saying that to a Gay guy
"You just didn't mean the right girl yet"
or a Lesbian
"You just didn't meet the right guy yet"
...
......
...........
See how ridiculous that sounds?
And I hate it when this idea is shoved down my throat daily
Guys saying they love me and they want me to love them back
and I'm sitting here "......"

or my Parents; they keep saying come on dear go find yourself a husband....

I DON'T CARE HONESTLY

OK but since for religious reasons I need to be married to get laid
so that's why I'm even considering marriage

But it's really hard finding guys who are feel the same way about this matter as I do
They want love
and I'm like move on love cause this girl ain't giving you any.
I don't mean it in a bitchy way
but I can't give you what I don't feel...
~~

So my close ones' reactions to my romantic orientation was surprisingly funny
I told my BFF first mainly because we actually feel the same XD
I told my sis second and she was like so you're not the only weirdo
she said it in a light-hearted joke
*I love being weird*

The funniest reaction is when I told my mom
I first explained to her what Aromantism is and she on her own said
"OH! That's you!"
Mind you I had to explain it to her in Arabic sine my mom isn't that good with English
that's why that was her reaction

But generally there is not much change on how my friends think of
I mean come on
I've always been the girl who didn't get a boyfriend cause I didn't want drama in my life
Yes
I consider romantic love as drama....
~~~

Sorry if this post was boring and long but I need to spread this around
since it's widely known
and you will think your entire life something is off with you
cause you don't understand what others feel...

I will be doing a post about sapiosexuality soon mainly
because it's sooooooo misunderstood...

anyways that's it for this post~~

Thanx for reading and stay tuned for the next post
Love (Platonic) and kisses to all~~ <3

Harry Potter Warner Bros London Studio Tour Part 2 *PIC HEAVY*

Hello my kittens~~
This is part 2 from the amazing Harry Potter Warner Bros London Studio tour

Let the Magic continue ~
~

Now this is the back lot where most vehicles and movable items are stored

The Hogwarts Bridge which isn't a connected section surprise~


 The Knight bus~






 The Potter house in Goderic Hollows 


The Chess pieces in the first movies, where hooked with motor controls and were
set to explode with a press of button, which is awesometacular~

Excuse the weird shitty lights I can't control it...
Here is the "Queen" piece cause you know I'm a queen and stuff :P


The Creature's workshop is another breathtaking section of the tour
You see the actual works of all creatures
The REAL stuff!











 The scales and models of the character that died or were partially dead in the movie 







The scale for Dumbledore was only 82%
it was so realistic that I thought it would be a jump scare where it would open it's eyes when we get too close
it was that realistic <3
The monster book actually lashes at you! that's soo cool~


The Voldemort Resurrection thing 

Aragog~~ 

The Demantour~                       Basilisk skeleton 


Buckbeak actually bows his head at you! 
So adorable~ <3

Diagon Alley~ <3
OMG I teared up so bad 









You can see the nerdgasom in my face
I was tearing up and smiling all through this place
I think the workers enjoy that the most
seeing the happiness in people's face
EVERYONE had a huge smile on their face
it was amazing <3






 Now to the design workshop which actually killed me 
Art work all over the place
Not only that but also CONCEPT ART!
I thought I died and went to heaven because this was too beautiful 








This is by far is my favourite piece for so many reasons but I love the darkness in it
A death eator 

Doby went through 40 concept designs! 40!!
















~~
Now prepare for the ultimate nerdgasam
the real life model for dun dun duuuuuun
Hogwarts 
To say I stopped breathing for a while when I saw this is the least
and it doesn't help that the music they had was so dramatically beautiful 
I did post a video of it on my instagram 











If you don't tear up after seeing this you are a heartless monster
<3
There is no way to put my feeling to words to describe what I felt when I saw this 
it's truly breathtaking 
~

One last thing before the gift shop~
That is the inside of Olivander's wands~~

All boxes have names on them
not only that but they're also all hand written
there's too walls full of shelves not displayed here cause it's just shelves with wand boxes
but the amount of details is staggering to be honest

the people who worked on those films deserve all respect and love
for what they've done on the movies

The last thing is the gift shop which is connected to the tour but can also be accessed without entering the tour
Which is good cause I plan on coming back because there is so much I want to get
I got a flag, a scarf, a T-shirt, a thermal drink cup, 2 notebooks, an ID holder thing
a chocolate frog and Bertie Bott's Every flavour beans 
All my merchandise were in Slytherin gear
all for a whopping amount of 110 pounds XD
but it was worth it really
I'd spend more if I had the budget
I really wanted to get one of those jumpers but they were like 74 pounds!
I wish they had an online shop where I can buy stuff
so far I only found ones that either ship to USA only or UK only 
not worldwide....

anyways~
I hope you enjoyed this post of my photo diaries about one of the most amazing places on Earth
I have scratched off one thing off of my life long list 
If you are in London and is a Harry Potter Fan then you will need to visit this

The process is very simple via their website 
and you will have the best time of your life

That's it for this post~
Now I'm back to reality everything looks so boring compared to Monday the 13th of January 2014
the best day of my life

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for the next post~
Love and kisses to all~~ <3<3
