I know it's off-topic, but all the Sleeping Beauty talk (and the hilarious Beauty and the Beast/Twilight sig) got me thinking. I'd love to see one EI (or maybe more) devoted to dark fairy tales. Twists on what you would expect, I guess. Take Sleeping Beauty, for example, and end with her not waking up. Snow White and Rose Red not being saved by the bear/prince and being smacked down by the dwarf. Jack and the Beanstalk, wherein Jack doesn't escape.

Actually, the musical "Into The Woods", Act II kind of sums it up. Fairy tales gone wrong, I suppose. Between Masquerade, Lyndexer, and Reve, I kind of like this lean towards tragedy. sweatdrop

ooh reminds me of the manga Ludwig Kakumei, where it puts a grim twist on fairy tail princesses. Like Snow White was this conniving girl that managed to kill off the queen and use her fair beauty for much more....unsavory purposes. 8D

I would really like to see something like that. I know Buki did a fine job with the Enchanted book, giving her own twist to it, but I'd loooove to see a grim twist as well.

The Brothers Grimm.
I actually used to read their version of some of their stories when I was little. Mom thought nothing of it. Saw the recent movie and loved it.
But yeah, if anything, I would prefer Brothers Grimm versions. I was agahst but also somewhat pleased that the Enchanted Book was NOT the Disnified version of the Cinderella story - please note the bloody foot, a pose I really did not want.

edit: I typed my post before reading Slicky's post above. LOL
Like-minded we are. blaugh

And HAPPY EIR DAY EVERYONE!

xd oh yes, Brothers Grimm was awesome and wouldn't mind seeing that becoming an EI as well.
Oooh, Brother's Grimm is delicious. My absolute favourite fairy tale, Snow White and Rose Red, was in their collection of stories. heart

They could call the EI "A Grimm Fate" or something. Ooh, I love wordplay.

Ugh! gonk
The artist is gonna make that decision if they want your item in it anyway! If you suspect it's one era, than just post the suggestion for that era. If it's wrong, then I'm sure your weapon will be discarded from the artist's mind, and he/she won't bother.

bah, I prefer my stuff to be more on the mark with guessing and desires. *crosses arms* I will wait before suggesting.

Like with flaming turtles. cool

Besides, like whatshername said earlier, this EI has a huge focus on clothing, and I suspect that to continue. *is trying to resist posting weaponry*



Cause you sure did wait with that flaming turtle idea, didn'tchyu. cool

Well, when exactly has this EI had it's chance of acquiring weaponry?

Brother's Grimm item? It's came to my attention before, but my feelings about having one still remain strong. Yes please!

Happy EIR day! Can't wait to finally see what our Case'll give. heart

ahh, I'm packing up and listening to Army cadences while I came up with this suggestion. Though I don't wanna suggest weaponry until after the evolution, I do want to suggest something else



Current EI Suggestion
Name of EI:Lyndexter's Journal
Pose Name: What the Army's done to me?
Description of Pose:Well, since he got drafted, I'd like to see some boot camp stuff and injuries from warfare
Edit or Photo Reference:
Push-up pro- this would give you toned arms. Equips like the shiny lust thingy from the Lust MC.
Worn boots-days of ruck marching will do that to a guy.
Mechanical prosthetics- I know we do have some, but I'd like to see some better versions for arms/legs
Also would include an option for missing legs/arms. Like this for arms Or This for legs
Crutches- y'know, for balance in case you lost a leg or injured it.
PROSSSETHETICCCSSSSS!!!!11eleven1 crying

Eudaemon: Would you happen to have any good piccas of Edward's wooden prosthetics from the movie: Conquerer of Shamballa?

xd Yes, I'd love to see some cooler ones than the old school ones we have in the gold shops.
I have hopes Yemaya will evolve today.
The nightmare not much, depending on who does it.
The others are bleh and can't really say until it evolves one today or next week >3<
Cept the journal. It's pretty crappy to me :/

Whaaaat? Are you saying you don't like Lyndexer's Journal? Tell me my morning cup of coffee just hasn't kicked in yet! It's possibly my favourite EI. I have this love affair with plaid... And the colour brown... That could be it...

It's the teal that turns me off.
Everything else would have been love for me if it wasn't for that abomination.
