The Anime Expo was awesome!!
During this Pandemic, I am using my time to write my graphic novel, and since I can’t draw, I take a lot of photos and use them as references to send to my artist. While scrolling through my phone, I came across a picture of my husband and me when we went to the anime expo in 2019. I enjoy anime. I love the Content of the stories of the show or manga (Japanese comics). The characters and the design of the characters, and let us not forget the backstories on what inspired the creators. One style of anime, in particular, I not only found great ideas in storytelling I just got in is called Yaoi (it is Boy Love or guy on guy interaction) I remember getting ready to go to the event because it was my first time dressing up to go to the event. My costume was Noiz (Noise) from a Yaoi computer game/anime called Dramatical murder. FYI Dramatical murder is a science fiction and visual romance novel in which players assume the role of the protagonist named Aoba Seragaki. ( I won’t get into detail about it, if you want to know about it, just look it up on google.) Anyway, it was amazing to see so many people dressed up as their favorite characters from other anime shows. There were so many games that were being promoted, new animes in development, and gadgets. There were crowds of people going to booths of memorabilia, getting food, some people would get into character and act out a scene of the show their role was from. It was so exciting. I would take a lot of photos not just to post on social media, but to use as a reference because after we left the anime expo, I went home and got started on my Yaoi Graphic Novel.

I'm always outside, I'm staying in.
During this quarantine, everyone required to stay at home except for the essential workers, which is what I am. I am always out I am rarely home, I love being at home; it is my escape from this world. The room that I call my sanctuary is my office. When you enter the room– The room is small like a child bedroom enough room for a twin-size bed, a dresser, and the child's toys, with one window to bring in the morning light. The color of the room is White as an eggshell; it gives the feeling of a canvass, draw, and paint what you want your world to look. There are two desks, one on the left and one on the right. The desk on the right is long and light brown. It belongs to my husband because he is in Law. His desk is divided with different décor on the right is Star Wars memorabilia and on the left books on Law, and documentation on cases. There are three University degrees hanging on the wall.

Gotta love the 90s
When it comes to writing stories, I look for ideas and references in family events or shows I have watched. I grew up in the 1980s so, watching a lot of cartoons like looney toons and sitcoms like Married with Children and Titus. Watching tv was my favorite thing to do as a kid. As I got older, I came across "Downtown" an animation tv series on MTV. I purchased Married with Children and Titus on DVD just in case my digital videos get deleted are damaged (which they did a year ago, and yes, I cried) I purchased "Downtown" later, I occasionally watch the DVD sitcoms because they help give me ideas for my stories. Maybe I should explain why I choose Married with Children, Titus, and Mtv Downtown. Let's start with Married with Children.

Well, That's my plan! What's yours?
Let's go Shopping at IKEA!!! The first day after the pandemic is over, and I am so going to Ikea to get a DETOLF (A black-brown Glass-door cabinet.) I want to show off all my collectibles that I had forgotten about. I was surprised how much stuff I had in storage bins in the garage—everything from comic books, action figures, plush toys, and memorabilia. I want to show off my collectibles. I am proud to say I am both a nerd and a geek. Oh, and I can’t wait to go to the mall. It has been a while, and I would love to eat a wretzal pretzel dog and go clothes shopping. Don’t get me wrong I could go to Walmart if I need shirts, shoes, and pants. But I love shopping at Hot Topic, for shirts, and other accessories like bracelets, earrings, and knick-knacks. I love the clearance section. Yes, I’m cheap, and sometimes the best stuff is on clearance. But the one thing I truly miss is going to the movies. I love watching the previews before the film starts. There are times I feel that the previews are better than the film itself. I enjoy the whole surround sound while eating popcorn. I don’t know something about munching down on salty buttered popcorn, while some hoy guy getting his butt kicked or a car exploded has a great ring to it.

Music is my source.
Music has always played an essential role in my life. Wherever I go or do, I still have my music with me, especially during this time where everyone must stay-at-home. I am one of the few who got lucky and has a job that falls under the essential category.

Is Yaoi better as an Anime or in the original format?
I want to make clear I’m a woman who is heterosexual, who happens to love Yaoi. Yaoi is a genre of boy-love in japan romantic relationship with only males. You can find Yaoi in mostly Manga or visual novels and now in anime But what I’ve noticed when a Yaoi that was originally a manga, book, or a visual novel game gets turned into an anime it doesn’t have the same results in excitement. A good example, a novel called ‘Ai no Kusabi’ (the space between us), was a popular novel in the late 1980s. That in the 1990s got turned into anime; two episodes were produced, but because of the lack of funding and not many fans liked the show because it was not following the original story. There was plenty of nudity, sex, and violence, but not enough to stop the cancellation. There are audiobooks and novels of ‘Ai no Kusabi’ that are still selling, so when the anime of ‘Ai no Kusabi’ was re-release but with a different design of the characters and the screenplay was written by the original author herself Rieko Yoshihara. It only produced four episodes and got dubbed in English but not so much nudity or sex like from the one from the late ’90s, the show got canceled again for the same reason.

A better way to take care of the elders
When it comes to our parents, we want to be there for them. However, where can they live to enjoy their golden years? Living on their own can be significant. Eventually, the time will come when they will need help getting around the house. Not to mention, they can easily be injured, and that would put a lot of anxiety and stress when the family doesn’t hear from their grandparents or see them for a while. So, you would think a nursing home is an excellent choice because you would feel safe knowing the staff is certified. They wouldn’t be alone because of the other seniors.

Welcome to the 'Hazbin Hotel'
Let's check in the Hazbin Hotel. I got a link from a friend on Facebook about a show in the process at the time called the Hazbin Hotel. It's a web-series on YouTube, about Charlie, a demon born in Hell who also happens to be the princess of Hell, and the daughter of the devil. Who tries to help the citizens of Hell control the overpopulation in Hell by trying to get everyone in Hell to work towards redemption as an alternative to the cleansing that happens every year. I read on the Fandom page that heaven helps with the cleansing of Hell and taking the already dead demons. The series was created, directed, and produced by Vivienne Medrano. If you would like to check out her YouTube channel check it out, it's called Vivziepop.

Is Animation Better Than Live-Action?
From animation to live-action . The year was 1994, and I was twelve years old when I saw Disney's The Lion King, I loved the animated version it was original; it was cute and funny. The story was well written and had the right message. The voice actors that got chosen for the film were amazing and fit the characters like a glove.

Two Popular Video Games Turned into Live-Action Films
Popular video games turned into live-action films has been a favorite thing to do. Two films are getting released Detective Pikachu Pokémon and Sonic the Hedgehog. In my opinion, Detective Pikachu Pokémon looks more promising because the characters seem so realistic, almost like they could actually exist. There was so much detail on the Pokémon—everything from the hairs, the skin, even the eyes. This was possible thanks to RJ Palmer, a concept artist at Ubisoft. He used real animals for inspiration, and when he draws, RJ Palmer said he uses a Wacom tablet and Adobe Photoshop. RJ Palmer has been doing concept art for characters and the environment, which is why he helps come up with the initial design for Pokémon. The other reason I think the film was great is because it's not starting from the very beginning like other productions have when making a film. The story of the film begins from another, in fact, an actual game that is called Detective Pikachu Pokémon. It follows a guy name Tim Goodman who teams up with a Pikachu that is more intelligent than any other Pikachu, and yes Tim can understand him, just like the film. The main Pokémon protagonist Pikachu is voiced by Ryan Reynolds. I thought that was amazing because I felt like I was watching Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds plays the Marvel comic "Merc with a month" character Deadpool). The film has a slapstick comedy feel to it, and it has the right message in the movie but you got to see the movie to see what I mean.

Great Film, Big Inspiration
After watching the film Tolkien, I have never so badly wanted to be a writer and get my graphic novel to publish. The film was an inspiration, and I did have a few things in common with Tolkien. Just like Tolkien, I am an outcast, I have a creative imagination, my writing also has to do fantasy (but I too do comedy and a little horror), and finally, we both went to a university.
