(Since I'm kinda conflicted emotionally, I'll use additional icons to best convey my feelings.)



For those who don’t know, the long talked-of EEnE movie, Ed, Edd n Eddy: Big Picture Show, is on YouTube in 9 separate parts, and apparently has been for some time now. I just learned of all of this yesterday, but from what I’ve seen, many have caved in and watched it on YouTube, due to the as-of-yet unmentioned date of its U.S. airing, despite being released in other countries like Denmark, Australia, and so on. And, being the huge Eds fan I am, my will was easily broken by the promise to myself to watch it just as intently as ever when it does come the Cartoon Network in the States, despite watching it for the first time online. And, well, what can I say, without spoiling anything for those who haven’t seen it? Simply this: it kicked tremendous amounts of ass!

EEnE has been a big part of my short life ever since it began over ten years ago, and I can say with the utmost pride that I don’t regret a single second I sunk into Danny Antonucci’s glorious brainchild. And I hope that one day, I can pass the treasures of this wonderful program on to the fruit of my own loins, and help carry on the legacy that it has so deservedly garnered, alongside every other show that I’ve grown up with and loved so dearly. To this day, and ‘til the day I die, I will remain a fan of this series, and whether this is the televised conclusion of the Eds’ adventures, as good of a conclusion as it is, or if Danny Antonucci decides to continue on, I raise a glass and slurp jawbreakers with my fellow kooky compatriots of this fandom, and can say only this: Shine on, you nutty, squiggly-lined diamonds! And good fortune to you and all of those who worked hard to bring you to us!



A bit of sad news tho’: one of my two female budgie parakeets, Melfina, was going to have surgery today to have a cyst removed from her wing, which she had been picking at for the last couple of days. While she seemed fine otherwise, and the vet told me it wasn’t deadly, she was found dead this morning in the separate little cage we had put her in during her time between the diagnosis and what was to be the surgery, her afflicted wing caught in the grating of the bottom part of the cage due to the size of the cyst. While the jury is still out on what exactly caused her death, I’m guessing she got stuck and overexerted herself trying to free her wing. Either way, now my plans to give away both of my parakeets before moving will have to be reduced to just giving Meryl away. I plan on burying her this evening; and while she wasn’t quite as close or even slightly hand-trained to me as my first parakeet, Chibb, it still saddens me to have to lay her to rest alongside him, and I hope that Meryl will find happiness with whoever wants to adopt her, and be thankful that Melfina is at rest in the afterlife.



And for the very small few who know about this (and the smaller few who even care), I’m not abandoning The Quest for Gaia, despite my ridiculously long hiatus. I’ve spent too much time going over the second chapter, and when I finally do put it out, I sincerely hope to strive forward at a much faster pace. Granted, college’ll cause some delays, but not many, if I’m lucky. And I’ve got other story ideas waiting to be unleashed in the coming years, both of fanfiction and original as well! I’m sure, of all people I know on deviantART, Matt and Seth can sympathize with me on that particular bit. That’s all for now, so good day/night to you all!

And still, the Kingdom Hearts: Ending Credits jokes are below this entry. Sooner or later, I'll actually put them up as deviations again, only then I'll actually make the illustrations, so the DA admin. squad won't be on my case. 'Til then, enjoy! Or perhaps don't enjoy! And any pokes made at yaoi fangirls are purely aimed at the unreasonable blacksheep of said followings.

Sora: After the events in Kingdom Hearts, Sora went to Disney World. He was reported in saying, "Eh, I've seen it all before."

Riku: Riku was later committed into an insane asylum when he couldn't tell who was the real Riku between himself and his clone. (His condition is more commonly referred to as Peter Parker Syndrome.)

Kairi: Kairi and Sora's wedding was crashed by the Nobodies. However, they were driven out by the horrid music at the reception. (The hors d’œuvres were pretty rank, too.)

Mickey: King Mickey and Queen Minnie were eventually overthrown by the Bougerousie and the Walking Brooms. (However, the Brooms were overthrown by Axel, who used the power of fire to his advantage.)

Goofy: Goofy eventually scored...........Yeah, we won't get into that......(Said woman was never seen in public, EVER AGAIN.)

Donald: Nowadays, Donald plays as Hitler in historical reenactments of World War II. (Daisy usually plays as Eva Braun.)

Faux-Ansem: The fake Ansem was later revealed to be Maximillian Pegasus wearing spray-on tan.

Pete and Maleficent: Pete and Maleficent were eventually wed. Their children are as ugly as sin.

Xemnas: Xemnas later held George Lucas for ransom in exchange for another Star Wars movie. (In case you don't get it, this is a reference to his lightsaber-esque weapons.)

Xigbar: Xigbar went on to become president of the U.S.A., and became legendary for his gun safety laws. (After all, it's so much easier for him to shoot them if they can't shoot back.)

Xaldin: Xaldin's sideburns would one day conquer the Southern Hemisphere. (But hey, it's not like there are any important countries down there. Except Australia and New Zealand.)

Vexen: Vexen, having nothing to do, went on the play Lucius Malfoy in the last two Harry Potter movies.

Lexaeus: Lexaeus would be recorded as the first and last person to match power with Chuck Norris. (This title might've been taken by Mr. T, Super Mario, or Mr. Rogers, but all three were away at the time, doing a triple buddy comedy.)

Zexion: Zexion was later able to obtain a Death Note. You may be next. (So watch your step, punk! And don't even think of calling him emo!)

Saix: Saix was finally able to get a heart. Shortly afterwards, he died of cardiac arrest. (After all, that berserk mode can't be good for his blood pressure.)

Axel: Axel burned Axel/Roxas fangirls. He burned them to the friggin' ground. ("They're corpses stank of evil," he was quoted in saying.)

Demyx: Demyx went on to release his debut album, 'I have a heart. Really!'. It went platinum within hours. (His many musical fans find his mullet to be quite retro.)

Luxord: Luxord is currently hiding out in Guam in order to avoid massive gambling debts. (His current debts put even Tsunade to shame!)

Marluxia: Marluxia and Larxene got married, and currently have three kids. Those who believed him to be gay are still in denial. (If anybody dares call him a nancyboy, Larxene'll kick their ass to next Sunday!)

Larxene: Larxene later came to terms with her sadomasochism, making things very interesting for her and Marluxia. (After their honeymoon, she and Marluxia were on crutches for a month!)

Roxas: Roxas would go on to confront the public with the message, "I am not emo!" And, of course, no one believed him. (Another emo joke. Can't ya just smell the creativity?)

Squall: Squall later found his way back home. However, upon said arrival, he was beaten senseless by Zell, Quistis, and Irvine, who demanded to know why they didn't get cameos in Kingdom Hearts, too. (Rinoa, of course, just went into a pouting fit and refused to speak to Squall. However, thanks to Zell's clever planning, they managed to patch things up.)

Tifa and Aeris: Tifa and Aeris would have a match to the death to decide which of them would get Cloud. Once again, Aeris died a horrific death. (It was later revealed that Aeris had been dead the whole time, and was being controlled by Merlin's necromantic powers.)

Yuffie: Yuffie went on to have many undead ninja babies with Vincent Valentine. (She has a habit of flaunting them around Cid/Vincent fangirls, and then siccing them on them.)

Cloud: Cloud and his busty barmaid wife, Tifa, went on to settle down for a peaceful life in Midgar. But not before Tifa made him amputate that weird wing. ("I just wish it hadn't been Sephiroth who did the surgery," Cloud stated, wincing at the memory.)

Cid: Cid spends most of his time nowadays defending his wife Shera from angry hoardes of Cid/Vincent fangirls. ("Buncha f%#$in' idiots just don't get it," Cid said, wiping blood from his spear.)

And there you have it. Hope you enjoy!
