Welcome to Gaia! ::

OH NOES!!!

Well, in that case, guess it's time to hit the showers, before any other inmates show up. I don't like to share my hot water.

It is DEFINITELY made of awesome and win. I <3 Vendetta!!!

Vote vote vote...unless you are a goat...because goats can't vote

I singith not, tis blasphemous! ((fyi: love that guy too!))

I know I've heard KNND, but it's been a really really long time and I don't think I remember any of it...maybe I'll have to go search that out again. Don't know if I've heard this English version though, having a hard time imagining how that works, just, acoustically. I do get sort of how it works linguistically. At least, I understand how that is the case. Sounds like it would not be euphonious in the least razz .

Vendetta is by far my favorite...I actually really really like Charlotte, I dunno if I can love her, but I mean she's just the type of character I normally hate. However she's just so perfect, and her contrast to Vendetta is just so brilliant that I have to like her.

Mkay I'll check that out in the morning, assuming I won't have work, which is a pretty good assumption. Maybe I'll be surprised though... razz

The first thing we are talking about is this cartoon of epic win!!

I actually stumbled across Vendetta after my friend sent me to Big Bunny about 6 or so years ago:

It's another cartoon by Amy Winfrey, it's cute (and umm, creepy) and really short.

From there I stumbled across the wonder that is Making Fiends (and the subject we were currently babbling about):

http://www.makingfiends.com/

It's a lot longer (was even back then before it had been expanded longer for TV), but much better. More character development and plot and other such fabulous tidbits.

She has since created two other series, Muffin Films, of which I've only seen part and am not sure I remember them enough to recommend, and Squid and Frog which I've never seen. Maybe after I catch up on the TV episodes/rewatch the Vendetta web episodes (been dying to do that for awhile now) I'll check those other things out.

The other thing, Nico Nico Douga, I'll let Kits explain that. I'm generous like that razz

Hmm...that's a nice analogy. And I do love both Elphaba and Glinda (Elphaba more). And Charlotte is blue! I know Glinda isn't blue, but it's her best color (that and pink - which I think fits Charlotte's personality too).

Haha...*cough*lazy*cough...j/k j/k!!! It's always best to let wikis do the talking ^_~.

I think because in my mind Glinda links to "good fairy/witch" which are often portrayed in blue. Plus I meant to wear, not just as in a tonal representation. Because as she has golden hair (either in Baum's Oz or Wicked) yellow wouldn't be a good color on her, she'd get washed out. And then her most spectacular and most often worn costume, at least in the representations of Wicked I've seen, is blue and sparkly, so I just associate that with her the most.

hehe... razz

I don't think she wore yellow in the production I saw, other than the gown though the costumes probably vary depending on where you see the production though. She wore a lot of pink, white, black, green and then spent the second half of the musical in that blue gown. You're right, I don't think blue seems peppy, but I think the blue was very representative of the fact that she kind of lives a double life. She's who she is and she's who the public thinks she is. The dress is a bit different from her personality, it's ornate and public figure, it's a deception, and I find that very fitting. Plus blue is a much more royal color than pink or yellow, which are a bit younger, so it's kind of a better reflection of the role she is playing in the community. The blue dress makes a statement, I don't like blue, but I like the role of the dress.

By the end I'm not sure what Glinda's "true self" is, she does change, and I think she kind of grows into that. More of a controlled, royal figure whose going to work the system - to help it, rather than just get washed away with the crowd riding just a pretty face.

Ok I think maybe she wore a yellow dress then, however it kinda gets washed out especially with all the greens and the light. Like I said, yellow just doesn't work on blondes. Makes them all one color.
