Doctor Who - Rating: PG -- (BBC) - Still Airing
This show is amazing! :D The Doctor, (yes he is the Doctor not Doctor Who or Dr. Who you wholigans.) has a real admiration for humanity, even though he'll give it constructive criticism. He also will note how hard it must be having a body not like his own, a Time Lord body, which has two hearts and a few other features different from a human's. He is from the planet Gallifrey, the home of Time Lords and their science of "bigger on the inside". He calls the ship the T.A.R.D.I.S., named by his granddaughter Susan (classic series), which stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Named simply for what it is. The show is all about his adventures and how trouble finds him or he finds it. He always has a companion at his side and they make their own place in his hearts. Many of them are female, but most are only friendships. The Doctor and his companion travel through time and space just to explore!
Merlin - Rating: PG -- (BBC) - Ended 2012
BBC's Merlin is loosely based off of the stories of the legendary King Arthur, but it's the younger years.
So I post a lot of fanfiction for this show mostly because it deserves having it written. I wish the show had continued, but luckily it has 5 seasons (which my grandmother watched in a week *claps*)! Merlin is a born-with-powerful-magic warlock, which is great, you know, if Camelot's king, Uther Pendragon hadn't banned it's practice 20 years prior to the show time line. Merlin is sent from the small village of Ealdor outside of the kingdom's borders, to receive guidance from the Court Physician Gaius. Gaius helps Merlin keep his magic secret so the king won't have his head. Merlin meets Arthur, a prat of a prince, and the show goes on from there. :)
Once Upon a Time - Rating PG -- (ABC) - Still Airing
Once Upon a Time is about Emma Swan, who was orphaned as a baby, who gave up her son for adoption, and that son comes back to find her 10 years later for her help. He gets her to take him back home to a town called Storybrooke, he explains that he was adopted by the evil queen, and how everyone was a character in a fairytale and Emma is meant so save them from the Evil Queen's curse making no one remember who they are.
Black Butler - Rating TV-14 -- (don't really know, but it names off Square Enix, Aniplex, and Funimation) - Continued
Black Butler is a manga and anime. (To the non-otakus, manga is graphic novels, anime is Japanese animation)
It centers around a young Earl in the Victorian Era, whose parents were killed in a fire that burnt down his estate. He calls upon a demon to make a deal, the demon helps him figure out who killed his parents and seek revenge, then the demon can consume his soul. The estate is reestablished, and the Earl, Ciel Phantomhive, is back with a butler who is always dressed in black. His butler's name is Sebastian Michaelis and his catchphrase is (pardon my language but I find this awesome) "I'm simply one hell of a butler." ( I GIGGLED THE FIRST TIME LIKE WOW SO PUNNY).
This is all for now, will post more later! (I don't want my posts super super long) - Robs

Game Reviews/Recommendations!
So recently, because I'm not in school, I've tried a couple of MMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online) and I have to say they are both impressive.
PWI - Perfect World International
This game is done by Perfect World Entertainment which is a China-based online game company.
The game itself is styled well, the graphics are impressive (this also depends on your RAM and graphic quality).
Starting out, the game has quick leveling up until level 30, where leveling seems to be harder.
PWI features 6 races, with 2 classes each. The two classes in each race are counterparts, one melee and one magic base. (Ex. Blademaster and Wizard are the two classes for Human)
The most recommended is usually Venomancer or Barbarian (Untamed race, only classes specified to a gender).
I personally love all of them, honestly. They have great combat styles.
The game does not have a membership system, or monthly fee, the game is free to play, though, as most MMOs do, has a virtual boutique if you wish to put in real money, you can.
The skills you acquire are unlocked from cultivation quests that you do once you reach a certain level. These are usually the most difficult quests in game. You will see on the chat log people will be asking for help at almost all times.
The game is rated T for Teen. ESRB does not rate multiplayer interaction and chat between users. Rated for mostly(or at least I assume, I don't have a list):
Mild Language (this is only rating game dialogue, not what users type)
Fantasy Combat
Violence
(also the female attire is "skimpy", it's frustrating)
This is, at least what I have seen.
Now to the one I started yesterday!
Guild Wars 2 by ArenaNet
Guild Wars 2 is styled well and with graphics set to high, textures are stunning. You have 5 races to choose from, all having the same professions (classes).
There are 8 professions, all having their pros and cons. Similar to most games, there isn't really a "best class". It really depends on what you want to do.
If you want to shoot with a bow, go with a Ranger.
If you wish to use magic based combat, choose Elementalist, Necromancer, or Mesmer.
Do you want to be a tank or fight up close melee? Guardian or Warrior
Be different? Engineer (this seems like a really cool profession)
And the one kind of left out is Thief. Though I do really like it :)
ESRB rating is T for Teen-
Blood
Mild Language
Use of Alcohol
Violence
GW2 is not as "MMO-ish" as some are and can get away from certain things some people will be annoyed with in other games. The storyline works well and your own character gets one.
This game does not have a membership or monthly fee but does cost money upfront.The game can be bought for PC or Mac download or physical copy on Amazon for about 20 dollars.
I recommend them both and I'll be posting soon! See ya! - Robs

Story Time!
Requested by my wonderful friend, I'm posting my How To Train Your Dragon/Merlin crossover.
Dragon Riders of Camelot
Disclaimer: Don't own Merlin or How To Train Your Dragon. All rights to BBC and Dreamworks Animation.
Rating: K
Genre: Friendship & Fantasy
Warnings: None
-----
It was a new age, the sun would rise and set in its peaceful manner and not one storm cloud would ever make way to ruin it. The sun was shining brighter than ever on this day, the day magic was to truly be restored to the kingdom of Camelot.
Merlin requested for the king to come with him today to see dragons up close, smaller ones of course.
"Arthur! Come on I trained one just for you! Her name is Aithusa, she was a Wyvern but when she got into the hands of Morgana she was not taken care of correctly. So... now, she is the size of a Wyvern, but she'll never grow much more. Though it does gives her more the chance to ride." Merlin explained as he almost dragged his king across the courtyard.
"Merlin I don't have time- did you say ride? You ride those creatures?" Arthur questioned, his right eye brow raised.
"If they're trained correctly and the right size, yeah! I mean, you can ride larger dragons, but ones closer to the size of a large horse are nimble and swift. Think of how great of an asset it would be to the kingdom!" The Court Sorcerer exclaimed. This brought Arthur's thoughts to dragons being useful in battle strategies and finally agreed to follow his adviser to the edge of the upper town to the field where the dragons lived.
"Alright Arthur, this is her, Aithusa. I named her myself." The young warlock said with pride as Aithusa came up to him. She was a pure white with blue sparkling eyes. This was the dragon who helped Morgana but eventually came back to be loyal to her dragonlord.
"Her name means the light of the sun. Kilgharrah says it is a good omen for our destiny of building this kingdom. She is yours Arthur, if you're willing to return the favor to her." Merlin continued with a smile as he saw the two bond immediately.
"Do you have a dragon, I mean to ride?" Arthur asked though he never took his eyes off the winged creature.
"Indeed I do sire. I didn't name him though, he also isn't a Wyvern. He is what some call a 'night fury'. He is old, and part of his winged tale is broken, but when I found him there was a mechanism of controlling his guidance and flight abilities to where it didn't really matter." Merlin replied and continued, "I found him in an old viking's village in the farther North on an island called Berk, his rider had died of old age long ago, the dragon was all that was left living and he instantly took to me. That is when I thought of the idea of bringing dragon riding to Camelot."
They continued to find the drake that Merlin spoke of finding, the midnight black dragon was apparently trying to catch a fish. "Toothless, come here!" Merlin shouted when the dragon finally caught the fish that was taunting him. Toothless, so he was named, swallowed the large fish whole, and came up to the warlock and the king.
"Arthur, Toothless. Toothless, Arthur." Merlin said between them. Toothless first glared with his green golden eyes and growled, he looked back at Merlin and was given a look saying 'I trust him'. With that being said, the black scaled dragon rose up on to its back feet and sat in the position of a dog and put out one of his legs in a wanting to shake hands fashion. Arthur slowly looked between his adviser and to the drake and when Toothless looked to him happily, he shook his hand with him.
"Good. Now, you m'lord, best learn how to ride." After this statement there was much practice on how to not fall off Aithusa's back, once Arthur finally was able to stay on, they went soaring into the air.
They flew across old ruins and lakes and mountains and clouds. They even flew once around the tallest tower of the castle. Arthur felt the most free in the longest time, so did Merlin. No more secrets, no more guilt. The two built their kingdom on trust, magic, and as sappy as it is... friendship. Arthur went to make peace with the Druids and the great dragon himself. All was good. All was right.
-------------
"Merlin? MERLIN! Wake up you bumbling idiot! What good are you just laying here!?" Arthur's voice yelled when everything went black and then became blurry vision of a ceiling and a not so happy Arthur Pendragon. Everything started to focus. Merlin was just dreaming again.
"Sorry sire, I must have not slept well." Merlin answered his voice in a small groan from his rough wake from his sleep.
"Well you can say sorry by mucking out the stables." Arthur said as he walked out of Merlin's small chambers back into Gaius' work room.
Merlin sighed and got ready to work as he did every day. It seems dreams are never to last.
But of course as young as he is, he never has been able to tell those dreams are of foresight.
The end.

Another month???? Dang it.
Alright do you all have any suggestions on how I can be posting on my blog? Any way I can make it better? As much as I am doing stuff I just don't think the events are interesting enough... So any suggestions would be helpful.
Do you want me to post fanfiction? Episode commentaries? Playlists? My life has fallen into fandoms so this blog is becoming fandom centered. I have been considering quitting my blog and making one totally different.
Please comment!!!

It's been about a month since I've posted
Oops.
I haven't even been that busy.
There hasn't really been anything interesting going on.
I was a stagehand for my school's drama production of Peter Pan and had our awesome tech team, set design, fly team, directors and of course, cast. - I will also be stagehand for our musical theatre production "Wizard of Oz".
My birthday is on Easter this year and I've already got my edit for that, now all I need to do is make one for St. Patrick's Day. If only I knew of some wonderful Irish actors from my shows. I wonder, I wonder... * smirk * The Colins (:
I've been writing (obviously).
I also put a beautiful gif with mah title ain't it purdy.
Okay so it's 9:10 and I am tired, bye....

Tomorrow is Gina's birthday!!!!!!!
HERE IS HER PRESENT... Well, one of them. By her request it is Doctor Who :D
Looking Up At The Gleaming Stars
Fandom: Doctor Who
Disclaimer: I don't own this show cries
in the distance
Rating: K
Genre: Angst & Sci-fi/Fantasy,
Humor
Summary: Rose keeps hearing the Doctor
call for, but she thinks she has just imagined it. The Doctor is
gone. - Post Doomsday, no TenTwo, no Amy Pond – Written as Gina's
birthday present
Rose... Rose...
He only said her
name when she heard him in her dreams. In her nightmares it was “Rose
Tyler, I...”.
Every night Rose
sat by her window looking up at the gleaming stars.
So far away.
It wasn't the worst
situation, but it felt like it. Sure, she has her mum, her dad, and a
brother on the way, not to mention Mickey.
It just wasn't
enough. Never enough. Even with her family, she felt alone in the
mansion she lived in.
She worked for
Torchwood now, instead of that shop she used to work at, the one
where she met the Doctor.
Her Doctor.
The tears still
come and go, now just when she remembers his voice, his smile, his
great head of hair, really, really great hair...
She smiled at the
thought, even if there were tears in her eyes.
Rose was walking
down Totters Lane when she looked to her left into a junkyard. There
was a flash of light and there were no longer Zeppelins in the sky.
There it stood. That magnificent blue box that took her everywhere.
There it stood. That magnificent blue box that took her everywhere.
Was the Doctor
inside?
She came up to the
tall blue narrow doors when one of them opened revealing a glow
inside.
“Doctor?” She
called out.
“Rose.” A voice replied. Not her Doctor's voice though.
She looked behind
her where the voice came from.
“Sorry, do I know
you?” Rose asked the man with a very prominent chin and floppy
hair with a tweed jacket and bow tie.
“You did once.
Not like this. Another me, past me. Me.” He responded, walking
slowly towards her.
“Doctor?” She
whispered, afraid if she spoke any higher he would break like glass.
“Your doctor.”
He answered.
With this she
smiled and hugged him tightly not ever wanting to let go.
“You may remember
me as a traveler of sorts. Perhaps, you'd like to join me? Anywhere
in the universe, anywhere in time, all at your finger tips.” He
said with a grin appearing in the corner of his lips and took her
hand.
“You've never had
to ask.” Rose answered, still smiling.
“Alright then
Rose Tyler! All aboard the TARDIS!” He exclaimed like a child at
Christmas.
As if she had read
his mind she said, “How about a Christmas? Do any other planets
have Christmas?”
“We could go to
New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York.”
The Doctor joked, not missing a “new”.
“Sounds fine by
me!” Rose said doing her signature tongue through teeth smile.
“Off we go then
my beautiful Rose!” He rushed through the doors of the TARDIS when
Rose tilted her head to the side, but still smiling.
“Redecorated have
you?” She said teasingly.
“Oh you know, new
new new Doctor, new new TARDIS.” He joked.
She came by his
side and said, “You're different, but I like you. You still have
the same essence. Same sense.”
“Sense?” He
asked. “Sense of what?”
“Sense of
adventure, sense of.. you. Do I smell bananas?” She answered then
asked.
“Hm....”
Avoiding the question, he started playing with switches and triggers.
“Set for
Christmas! GERONIMO!”
Then they were off.
Jackie Tyler sat at
her bedroom window and thought about her Rose.
I guess she found her Doctor.
Jackie
knew even if she didn't ever see her daughter again, she was happy.
She just knew she was with him. Her and her Doctor. Oh what a tale to
be told.
- Happy birthday
Gina – love you lots!!!

Requested by Gina to post
My story I wrote just from an idea... another Merlin fanfiction - slight Percy Jackson references
Lies of the Mist
Disclaimer: Do not own Merlin or Percy Jackson, rights to BBC and Rick Riordan.
Fandoms: Merlin & Percy Jackson
Rating: T
Genre: Angst & Friendship
Warnings: character self-harm, references to suicidal attempts
Summary: Arthur comes back in the arms of someone who looks exactly like his former servant though he claims he is only his descendent. His name? Emrys, son of Hecate the goddess of magic and witchcraft. AU with slight PJATO/HOO - and Arthur never married Gwen
--
"Hello? Sir?" A voice calls out, a familiar voice. Arthur feels hands grasping his upper arms, shaking him. He slowly opens his eyes to see a man leaning over him. His hair was raven black and the bangs fell just underneath his brow, his eyes were just a shade darker than the blue sky above them. His face is structured with sharp cheekbones and prominent ears.
"Sir?" The man asks again. Arthur realizes who he is.
"Merlin?" His voice was rough, and his lips and throat were dry.
"No, I'm not Merlin, sorry mate. Come on, let's get you somewhere warm, yeah?" The man's voice seemed sincere enough for the former king to give a small nod that gave approval to the other to help him up.
They weren't far away from the man's flat, so when they reached the door to the room, Arthur instantly begged, "Water." The stranger with the familiar face gave him a glass of water with a pitcher sitting on the coffee table.
"So, if you're not Merlin, who are you?" Arthur interrogated the man, taking a sip of his drink.
"I'm his descendent, if that makes you feel better. The name's Emrys, and I know you're Arthur. My grandfather told me about you, carrying on the legend. Merlin was your manservant and successor right?" The stranger said with pride and curiosity throughout his words.
"Emrys. I've heard that name before. Tell me, what era am I in?" Arthur looked around the room noticing many things he could not recognize.
"Era? Well, it's the year 2014, first month of the year." Emrys replied and continued, "We should probably find you a change of clothes, you look like you just came home drunk from a reenactment. Chain mail and armor isn't exactly... our main way of protection anymore."
"No armor? How do you people protect yourselves?" The blonde asked worryingly.
"We've bullet proof vests, and helmets, but that's about it. I'll be right back, I can bet I have something that'll fit you. Do you... know how to um..." Emrys said, gesturing to his armor.
"I believe so." Arthur replied not so convincingly.
Emrys flew his skinny fingers through his shirts and trousers trying to find something big enough to fit the other man in the flat. It has nothing to do with him not being fit, he was, just Emrys is so skinny and inferior to him, as he always has. He finally found a black button-up shirt with dark blue jeans and a belt. He dressed Arthur without much difficulty, which the former king found a tad bit strange.
"Where have I heard your name before?" Arthur asked again, wonderingly.
"Emrys, was another name for Merlin. Those of magic were the only ones to call him that though. They were wrong too, the destiny seems to be mine and not his." The raven haired explained.
Arthur turned to look Emrys in the eyes when he saw a flash of the same man, but looked as if he had not slept well in days. Arthur blinked to find the other the way he was previously, he tells himself it was just a hallucination.
"You okay? You look like you've seen a ghost." Emrys said with a deep chuckle erupting from his throat. "What am I saying, 'course you look like you've seen a ghost, I'm a splitting image of your manservant."
They continued to talk about all the changes to the world since the 6th century, and about the legends passed down through Emrys' family. Emrys also taught Arthur how to turn a light switch off and on, and where to get food when he is hungry, even if there was only cheese and grapes in the mini fridge.
"Arthur, I'm going to head over to the market to get some food alright? Don't touch anything while I'm gone." He ordered the blonde.
Of course, Arthur, being the prat that he is, decides to be curious. He didn't fool with anything he couldn't understand, for example the oven, or a television remote. No, he decides to let his feet wander to the bookshelf in an alcove of the room, containing old to new books. His fingers scan across the worn books as he found The Legend of Emrys. He considered reading it but for now, he wanted to explore.
It was then when he found a paper from a Dr. Smith, who seems to be Emrys' therapist. Arthur looked at the paper more closely, it read:
Dr: Smith, John
Patient: Emrys, Merlin
DOB: Unknown
Age: Unknown
Patient Concerns: Sleep deprived, depression, stress, hallucinations, self-harm, suicidal attempts.
Arthur shoved the paper back where he found it and sat down on the sofa with The Legend of Emrys in hand.
The book claimed Emrys was a demigod, showing two alike personalities, and uses "the mist" as a guise to hide from enemies. His mother is the goddess Hecate. She is the goddess of magic and witchcraft.
Emrys' other personality was known more to mortals, going by another name.
Emrys was an ancient name that Balinor, a dragon lord and Emrys' father, decided was the best fit for his young boy. Emrys meant immortality.
Emrys was destined to serve and protect the once and future king, and wait for his return. During his service to the king, he went by the name of Merlin.
Arthur didn't know what to do with this new information. So Emrys was Merlin, well, that is what he thought in the first place. But why would he lie? He decides to wait and see if his former servant would reveal who he was. And so, he waited.
------
{2 Weeks Later}
Emrys was sitting at the island in their small kitchen which was open to the living area, while Arthur was sitting at the sofa as he dug deep into his thoughts.
"Why did you lie?" Arthur asked abruptly, breaking the silence that filled the room.
"What?" The raven haired replied, his brow furrowing.
"Don't you think I would have figured it out, Merlin. While you were out a couple weeks ago, the day I got here, you really didn't think I would stay in one place did you? Now answer my question. Why. Did. You. Lie?" He emphasized each of his last words repeating his question.
"Have you ever met someone who always has so much going on you don't want to bother them about your own problems? Well you're that kind of person Arthur. When you were gone, I was in a bad place, I didn't know what to do. I was alone, I had no one. When I saw the flash of light from the lake I put on a guise so you would never know." Merlin explained as tears welled up in his eyes. "Arthur, I can't die. I know 'cause I've tried, multiple times. But that doesn't mean I can't be hurt, it doesn't mean I can't stay awake for ages, I just can't die from it."
Merlin's eyes flash a fiery gold and a glow comes off his skin. His guise was fading. His arms had scars running all the way down them, his dark circles seemed to be fading, but they were still there. His cheekbones had tears trickling over them like waterfalls.
Merlin's eyes seemed cold, they seemed dead. But when he looked up to Arthur, there was a great spark of life behind them. Finally having something to live for again.
"I am a demigod, a monster even, but my soul is still human." Merlin said with a small smile.
Arthur took his former servant into his arms and hugged him tightly saying, "Never a monster, Merlin. Never."
---
{3 Days Later}
"Here you go, Arthur. Just how you like it, eggs scrambled, bacon crisp, bread toasted topped with butter, and a glass of milk." Merlin placed a plate in front of Arthur with a glass beside it.
"Why are you still acting like a servant sometimes, Merlin?" Arthur asked in curiosity, also remembering when he asked the same question when finding out about Merlin's abilities.
"As I have said many times, I was born to serve you Arthur." He replied with a smile and sat down with his friend to eat breakfast.
And I am proud of that. Merlin finished in his head, but Arthur didn't need to hear him say it again. He already knows.
All was well until the week followed with the mirror in Arthur's room shattering out of its frame. The mirror was replaceable of course, it was just the memory of Arthur's eyes flashing gold in the reflection that terrified him.
May have just been the lies of the mist.

Putting my wittle story on here for me friend O:!
The Cake Thief
Fandom: Merlin
Genre: Humor & Friendship
Rating: K (General Audiences)
Warnings: None
Summary: Merlin steals cake at a feast.
Today was Arthur's 21st
birthday, meaning the castle held many servants running about in
preparation for the feast. As Arthur was receiving his many gifts
from his father and his knights, Merlin sees the most delicious
looking cake in the world. His mouth waters just at the one glance of
it from across the room. He filled the prince's goblet with more
wine, and went off to get himself the cake he longed to taste.
The cake was chocolate and vanilla
swirled with chocolate drizzled over it. While no one was looking
Merlin grabbed himself a slice and took it to Arthur's chambers, he
knew he wouldn't be there for a while.
“Merlin!” A voice rang out, it was
Gaius. Merlin winced as he laid the cake down on the table in
Arthur's room. Quickly, he ran out of the door. “Yes?” “I need
you to fetch a bucket of water and some cloth, one of the knights has
just thrown up.” Gaius requested and explained. 'If they didn't
drown themselves in wine and mead they wouldn't be.' Merlin
thought as he nodded and huffed out a small breath in annoyance.
Now after he had
cleaned up Sir Leon's guts, he finally found himself back in Arthur's
chambers ready to devour his stolen cake. He was about to take a bite
when someone barged in.
Leon.
“Merlin- I.. just
want- d, t-to thank you..for cleanin' my-blurgghhh.” Leon said with
his voice slurring and threw up yet again. “Okay mate, let's get
you to bed.” Merlin suggested and helped Leon to his room, he came
back and cleaned up the mess Leon had left him with. He put the
bucket and cloth back in Gaius' work room and returned for the third
time for his cake.
Arthur was there.
Eating his cake.
“Oh, Merlin!
Thank you for getting a slice of cake for me. Of all the cakes you
decided to get, you got my favorite.” Arthur smiled, oblivious to
Merlin's face of horror and anger. He looked like he had steam coming
out of his ears.
“Cake thief.”
Merlin muttered under his breath. “What was that Merlin?” Arthur
questioned. “Nothing, just said my pleasure.” Merlin said and
left the room to find himself more of the cake.
It was all gone by
the time he got there.
