    So...

    By Kaleidoscope Tekulo,

    Should I change my display name to Shadow Tekulo or no?
     
    Like, is this shadow fad part of some secret society and will I be incurring its wrath should I switch over uninvited? And am I really willing to take that chance?
     
    I have nothing else going on in my life right now...

    Monster High

    By Kaleidoscope Tekulo,

    So, my friend and I spent some time together today watching Monster High on Netflix.
     
    There is a character named Draculara. Her voice sounds like this
     

     
    mixed with this

    So I was hanging out with a friend yesterday. We went to a Walmart and I got the shiny new Lewa set (the new gear function is kinda weird), and she got a doll from Ever After High, which she collects. Once we arrived at her place, she showed me The Dragon Games which is a part of Ever After High, and then the first episode of the series.
     
    I'm just going to say that Raven is by far the most interesting character. Like, even more interesting than Twilight Sparkle. As for Apple White, she is dumb and spoiled and I kinda hate her. Maddy Hatter is also a fun character. According to my friend, she is perfect.
     
    So now I'm a grown man watching yet another cartoon show intended for small children, specifically girls. How does this keep happening?

    Oh Geez...

    By Kaleidoscope Tekulo,

    I've played with LEGO since I was a kid. It all started with a LEGO City set with a female minifigure I named Megan. I gave her all of the powers of a Powerpuff girl. She fought crime, battled monsters and generally saved the day.
     
    Then one day I decided she should probably have a love interest. So, I picked a fire fighter minifig and named him Jack (because Titanic was a popular romance movie at the time, and that love interest was named Jack, so I figured it would work). While Jack had no special powers of his own, he... well he was indeed a love interest.
     
    Their son, however, grew up into a super smarty smart and built himself a super powered robot suit. But that's getting ahead of myself.
     
    Anyway, I figured it might be neat to write a story about my LEGO collection, starting with my first minifig loves.
     
    Light and Shadow
     
    Beware, it's probably horribly written and super depressing. It is being written by me after all.

    Samantha

    By Kaleidoscope Tekulo,

    Behold, Samantha!
     
    I drew traced a picture of a minifig I had. While the 2x2 Brick is Samantha classic, the minifigure is Samantha in the LEGO Dimensions RPG.
     
    In my fanfiction, Samantha and Samantha team up to foil the evil plans of Tekulo and the sinister Sir Quackers. These hijinks involve time travel, space travel, public transit travel and email.

    So, this is my 300th entry on my blog. There's a lot I could have done to celebrate this momentus occasion, but alas I have done none of it.

    I also really like Garnet's backstory. These gay space rocks... <3

    So there was this one scene where some powder is added to water and then it turns into bread. That was the highlight of the film for me.
     
    Ray, Fynn and Pough were interesting characters.
     
    Dat bread dough...

    During my travels, I have happened upon the dwelling of a dork in his naural habitat. The walls are lined with LEGO sets from a bygone era, and the couches collapse at strange places.
     
    They speak of things such as Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton whilst munching on snacks. Wiimotes are haphazardly scattered across the tables, and there appears to be a helmet of some sort next to Mardi Gras beads.
     
    I do not know how long I can last in such a place, yet I must press on. This begins my first night staying at...
     
    AKANO'S APARTMENT OF TERROR
     
    Wish me luck... but more importantly

    I spent Thanksgiving being a social recluse and playing Phoenix Wright. I'm on Rise from the Ashes, and I'm cross examining Officer Meekins.
     
    He is a dumb.
     
    Anyway, Akano has gone back to whence he came. But I'm also going to visit him in about a week, so there's that.

    Gravity Falls

    By Kaleidoscope Tekulo,

    So, I've pretty much decided that my favorite episode is The Inconveniencing. Well, it's my favorite so far anyway. There are still a couple episodes left for me to change my mind.
     
    But everything about the episode is just so golden that it's hard to top for me.
    -A haunted mini mart
    -The Lamby Lamby dance
    -The Dutchess Approves
    -Smile Dip
    -Teenagers with their new-fangled rap music
     
    A toast to Ma and Pa! Kudos for getting those kids off your lawn!
     
    Speaking of which

    Decided to actually finish the series by picking up where I left off. So, I started book five from the beginning earlier this month and I have only about two hundred pages left. Too bad I have a bunch of stuff spoiled for me for the next two books thanks to the internet and A Very Potter Musical.
     
    ...
     
    I watched A Very Potter Musical too. So much Potter, help.

    Sometimes...

    By Kaleidoscope Tekulo,

    Sometimes I feel like the world needs more feline leaders.
     
    And then I remember what the world is really like.
     
    And then things are sad.
     
    =\
     
    (One of these days I will use my blog for important things. Today is not that day)

    Saw this one recently when browsing old movies. It's a Cinderella musical, and it's one that I quite enjoyed.
     
    The characters were fun and engaging, the dance numbers were impressive and the songs were catchy, silly and other times lovely.
     
    Other than that, I recently got The Muppet Show on DVD, and ahhhh it's the best thing ever. I love how it has culture and big celebrity names (and cheesy jokes). They don't make 'em like they used to. Miss Piggy might just be my favorite character.
     
    Well then, Billy,

    Regarding my current position on my orientation, it seems like a funny one to me. I'm still new to gender studies here, so this will be fun trying to explain.
     
    Demisexual- demi meaning "half" it's considered halfway between asexual and sexual.
     
    In gender studies, there are two forms of sexual attraction, one being primary sexual attraction (outward appearances, personality, etc) and secondary sexual attraction (emotional connection that grows over time).
     
    I generally don't get primary sexual attraction. Like, I can admit a woman or a man is cute and all, but only to an extent. I've had cuddles and puppy piles with friends before, but nothing too much beyond hugs (I have been told I am an excellent hugger by lots of people) and small pecks on the cheek (and this is consentual. I totally respect boundaries and affectionate stuff isn't for everyone. I also like mimicing people and miming. I think that got me interested in Ballet to a point. Princess Tutu is awesome. XD)
     
    However, as for forming a personal relationship on a romantic level, it's just never happened. I always value friendship more for some reason, and when there was a chance to form one (I have had opportunities with both sexes in the past at one point or another); then I always found some reason not to pursue one. I believe I have said before that I had crushes on girls until I hit highschool. Well, during highschool there were a few crushes on girls, and they had limits, but now that I'm thinking more clearly lately, I also realize that the crushes on guys also had the same limits.
     
    I'm really only attracted to people that I feel a close personal bond with. And that's not some form of nobility or something as childish; it's just how I tick.
     
    I'm still a virgin, and honestly that just doesn't bug me in and of itself.
     
    A relationship sounds nice and all, but uh... I'm kinda shy with that currently because I have met lots of friends who come to me with relationship issues and ask for advice. Which, you know, is weird, because I've never really had a romantic relationship. Crushes yes, people crushing on me (weirdly enough), yes, but it was never mutual and the timing was always off.
     
    My timing is so weird, it is ridiculous.
     
    So, this has all lead to me thinking there was something wrong with me because the society I grew up in was very much hetero-normative with religious ties to my family's culture. Getting out to the city was an eye-opener when I studied in Pittsburgh (very lovely down-town area and I loved walking outside at Point State Park where the rivers met). Lots of homosexual dudes in the Baking and Patisserie program and even one in the Culinary Program. Go figure.
     
    I was always anxious about one thing or another (loved being on time for class right on the dot, and I can be very particular and nitpicky by nature. Turns out people like sentiment more than sensibility, though, so I've really needed to laugh everything off just to stay sane. This makes the bad times so much harder to deal with alone, and uh... I kinda always hate being totally ignored, so like, please never feel guilty with me. As upset as I get, I tend to come around with a well-meaning apology or after I've had some time to breathe).
     
    So, that's where my irreverent sense of humor comes from, and it has to do with why I get very, very upset easily. And... yeah, it's a work in progress and everything, but I think I'm through the worst of it for now.
     
    I'm pretty sure I caught a bug that's been going around here lately, and it was making me feel pretty feverish. Blegh... Can't catch a break...

    Been waking up each morning with either a sigh or light sobbing. =/
     
    Been brushing my cat's fur with a comb and been trying to treat them well. I lost my best friend, but... to them I think it's been like losing a sister. They both have been snoozing a lot and I've been trying to make sure they get up and eat.
     
    At any rate, I think the garden out back is good enough to ward off racoons and wild dogs among other things that would try to dig her up (honestly the real danger would be the neighborhood dogs, but uh... not too worried since there are plenty of creepy crawlies out here in the summer. XD)
     
    So, I'm going to cover the area in topsoil today. I still need to weed out some stones big enough to circle off the area. And after that it's back to hitting the books. Things are really slow at work right now (which is a little odd because we've only had a little bit of rain. People just don't like nature anymore, I guess. And, like, I get it because I'm a shut-in by nature, but... like, the pollen is not that bad after it rains. =/)
     
    My avocado sappling is doing great now compared to before. I added in an earthworm and some ants to help it along early last month. It's been doing wonders.

    On Thursday, May 28, 2015 my dog of fifteen years was hit by a cable truck and passed away in my care.
     
    Earlier that morning, I was off work. It's been raining a lot lately and so business has been slow in the local food industry. Memorial Day, being a national holiday in America, has also sent work schedules off for people who work 9-5 jobs. Memorial Day was the first holiday I have had off work in around two years because the nature of my work demands that I work holidays. And I knew what I was getting into there. Days off work are a luxury to me around national holidays, and so Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day (my birthday, oddly enough), and basically every other day I work have started feeling more like... well, any regular day. Just busier.
     
    So, after that whole scare with my anxiety meds, I needed to start taking it easy. So I've been gardening and whistling and spending time with my pets. I've been picking up litter in the yard; weeding; helping the ants outside so they wouldn't feel the need to come into the house... you know, just small things that helped me deal with stress.
     
    Our trash pick-up service has been on a weird schedule lately. Sometimes they come in the morning, sometimes they come in the afternoon. They pick up the trash on Wednesdays, but the holiday pushed everything back a day.
     
    I woke up that morning early, probably around seven on my own. My cats were antsy, and they tried bolting out the door. One of them succeeded. We have lost cats to the road before when I was a kid. These two are now indoor cats. He made it down to the parked car off the porch until I managed to slowly creep up to him, lightly snapping my fingers and looking him in the eyes; and then I managed to snatch him up and bring him inside. I put a jester collar on one for trying to leave the house, and a pet harness on the other to try and tell him that if he wanted to go outside, he would need to learn how to walk properly in that bewitching contraption.
     
    I put a leash on him and tried walking him up and down the stairs.
     
    Now, Jewel, being the jealous doggie she always had been, was feeling neglected. So, I decided to walk outside with her and do some gardening. We have an invisible fence and she had been trained not to wander off. However, she was always hopping that fence by wearing out her collar's battery and then running off. This has happened on walks when her collar has snapped and she ran off into the road.
     
    I was trying to get a battery out of an old solar hybrid lantern and I walked up to the road to toss it into the garbage. Jewel must have thought we were going for a walk. I didn't see her until she was flying across the road. She was always quiet when she was getting into trouble. I ran into the road without thinking and pulled her into the grass out front. She was still alive, and opening up... She never moaned or whined... She just tried to move her jaw to talk to me... And I just kept my hand on her head and told her it was going to be okay. It wasn't long until she was gone.
     
    The guy who hit her stopped and I asked him to call someone. This one woman working for a veterinary hospital nearby stopped with a broken hand and helped me. I gave her Jewel's collar with her tags and she comforted me. The man who hit her helped me get her into a bag. I told her to keep the remains until I had spoken to my family. I said my goodbyes. I decided to plant a memorial garden where she was buried. We picked her up later that day, and I buried her with the shirt I was wearing when it happened. I filled it with an old pair of my shorts, and food from every last meal I shared with her (yogurt, cheese sticks, pizza, etc). I got the idea, I think, from an old Gary Paulsen book I read when I was in middle school. There was this custom hunters had where they would cut off the head of the animal they killed and put the food they ate in the mouth as a sign of respect. Well, I am not cutting off her head, thanks. But, I guess it just makes me feel like I'm keeping her close.
     
    She helped me a lot through my first two depressions and all of my anxiety. She was my best friend and my most loyal companion for the past fifteen years. She died acting like she was still a curious little doggie. I owe her fifteen years at the very least.
     
    I want to plant some pine out back. She loved exploring and running and staying cool in the shade. I think she would like that.
     
    ...
     
    The splatter is still on the road in front of my family's house. This has just brought up too many painful memories to deal with all at once. Everyone gets at least one moment in their lives that, no matter how hard they want to forget, they just know it's impossible, and then they finally make their peace with it. This is just one that isn't going to heal for me.
     
    I'm... handling this as best I can. I'm not relapsing into depression. I've been talking a lot with friends and my family has been very supportive. I've just been trying really hard lately with everything; getting a new job and going through a frustrating interview process, and then working on my family situation and figuring out my orientation, and trying to be healthy despite being called pretentious for not wanting to die of a heart attack (which is basically what going into culinary arts was based off of initially for me. I've always had weak lungs, and after that it's always one problem after another), and then I had to take care of my dog because everyone in my family is just so busy with work because of the economy and things changing like crazy...
     
    I just need a fresh start after all of this.
     
    Ultimately I was there for her when she needed me the most. And now I'm just trying to make the most out of an unfortunate situation.
     
    And that's it.
     
    That's all this is, and that's all I've ever been trying to do on some level.
     
    I don't care about marriage, I don't care much for any particular religion, really, and I don't care about people telling me what I should and shouldn't like. I get to decide who I love, not my orientation. I get to decide how to bury my dog, not the government. I get to decide what the most important thing in this world is to me, not any book. And right now I am just... so, so tired and only at age twenty three.
     
    Found a four-leaf clover today when I was visiting her out back. My luck is ridiculously stupid. It's annoying.
     
    I plucked it by the roots and planted it with my avocado sapling. It's been growing for about a year now.
     
    ...
     
    I might be gone a while. I need to watch the heck out of some Markiplier videos right now. =\

    So, came out to my parents (kinda sorta. Like, I didn't say it straight out, but they kiiinda put the pieces together that I'm queer at the very least). My dad isn't too thrilled, but he understands the science behind it, and he was actually kinda supportive with my mom. Weird.
     
    I really don't think I'm in a good place to start dating just yet anyway, so I don't mind it, really. ^^;
     
    At any rate, I think volunteer work will do me some good to keep active, but I'm going to keep working on getting a job first. A fresh start sounds refreshing, because having your life flash before your eyes and then be living at home is... Well, it can be a little overwhelming, to say the least.
     
    Speaking of volunteer work, I'm donating my hair this month. It is fabulous; a natural curl and a nice dark brown color. I'm going to include a hand-written note if they'll allow it. ^^;
     
    Things at my current job are still weird. I'm even more spacey than usual, and things are getting humid and warm (not great for my lungs with all of the pollen). I've been communicating and tossing ideas around, and it seems like people are acting a little less stressed out around me at least. There are a couple of LGBT+ people at work too, so hopefully they take my advice about the job. Everyone in the kitchen staff during my time there has been more on the artistic and open-minded side of things in general, and we've always been pretty close-knit and had each other's backs. Our issues were almost always completely ignored, though. Not exactly the best situation for someone with anxiety.
     
    The food industry is such a weird one. XD
     
    I have good contacts, though, and, like, every religious person I've spoken to has been surprisingly accepting and willing to listen. Apparently I can be good at this. XD I mean... the situation still isn't great, mind you, but... I mean, if I ever showed up with a guy someday I think the awkward zone would be managable. (Oh geez, I can picture it now... The looks we'd get just holding hands down the street... XD)
     
    My pets have been a huge support too. ^^
     
    I think I have a nice nickname for my future kid; Link. Robin Williams was a huge part of my childhood, and he was a fan of the game series Legend of Zelda. Actually, Ocarina of Time was one of the first video games I really got into, and it helped me bond with my best friend from childhood (like, it was all we would talk about. XD). It's kinda the reason why green became my favorite color (It used to be red). Granted while adopting, it would only be an affectionate term. I think it would be a good reminder while my head is jumping from subject to subject as an adult. ^^;
     
    So... maybe in around... five to ten years? Who knows?

    Spoilers ahead for my alleged "fanfiction" however I wanted to write a story where the toa came to life and started helping people in our world. Where they came out of the story and touched the lives of people in order to do some good.
     
    So, to everyone who has been reading my blog and following from the start; congratulations! ^^
     
    So, I have a theory for one of my toa characters; Sida (see-duh). I've always been told I make good characters. Turns out I'm a natural thespian and storyteller. Go figure. XD. The way I make my characters, always, always, always, has been by shedding a part of my personal identity and then trying to put that part of my identity to words. I draw from life what I put on the screen and on the paper. It's just who I am. This has been like, the biggest help in figuring out my identity (turns out I identify as something like Demisexual. It's kinda what I always wanted to be. XD). I've been around people in the medical field my entire life. Turns out I picked up on a bunch of stuff. ^^
     
    So, I wanted to reflect this in Sida. I think I see the most of myself in her right now. This is an exchange between my OC's based on my current life experience. The characters I center this around are Tanu, Miln, and Sida (by far some of my favorite characters yet in my BIONICLE headcanon). This takes place shortly after The Melding, and is a prequel for a collaborative project from The Ambage titled "Volition"
     
    Miln - saw the child in myself with her. MaLNutrItion. She has loads of room to grow.
    Tanu - like TAhU but Not quite (h is taller than n. Tahu is very hot-headed, and while Tanu is a toa of Plasma, he has far greater power and has learned the dangers of it first-hand).
    Sida - will be explained later.
     
     
     
     
    Now, this would tie in nicely, I think, with my earlier fanfiction "Dare to Dream"
     
     
    So, trans-spectrum members in particular; I am asking this time; As a parent-in-training, do you think this sounds like a good idea?
     
    Take care,
    Tekulo (the first name I ever gave to myself. Playing with syllables got me interested in Eastern language. I found out my birth-name, ultimately, is a derivative of "child" in English. Go figure. XD. But it also had a different meaning, and that was the one I was more interested in at the time) It was just so... interesting. So, I guess what I've been trying to say this whole time is... Happy Naming Day, BZPower. ^^)
