Hey, guys! Hey, guys! Hey, guysguysguysguysguys!
Now, as you are all aware, I've resolved never to show my picture here. Let's face it, I'm hideous. =3 You'll just have to make do with impy me instead, which is more accurate to how I am inside anyways. However! You can probably tell a lot about a person from their living space! (I'm just guessing, I dunno if that's true or not. I guess we'll find out!) So now, prepare to embark on the magical journey one can only call... What Tai's Room Looks Like! I'm going to stop using exclamation points now.
Oh, is Inmate #426-057 in? No? I guess that's a good time to check the place out, then.
There's a bat on the door coz I like bats. Dreamcatcher made by my good friend Mossy.
This is as close as I could get to a full overview-type shot without a hole in the ceiling and an overhead camera. You can recoil in horror and stop now, or we can continue on into MUCH detailed fun. Also, this is the only time on the tour you'll see that Twisted Roses poster on the right there, so look now!
All right. This image is tall.
It's the first of several bookshelves we'll see on our tour today. This one is laden with manga, Animorphs, and various odds and ends. Let's take a closer look, eh?
Top of the shelf. Here we have the complete set of Harry Potter, including the side books and MuggleNet's book 7 predictions. Also here is my CD player, which currently has Buttercup in it, and a cute Neekksy plushie my cuddlebuddy/best pal Neekko made for me. Various other odds and ends litter the place, which is common around here.
The upper two shelves contain manga, doublestacked. A flashlight, starfish (really loves you), and a Pani Poni can creature are also here to greet you. My older, less-worky DS charges here, as does the PSP and a pair of headphones.
The lower two shelves. The upper of them contains the entire Animorphs series (64 books). On top of those are the boxes most of my GameBoy games came in and such. Also present are some Neopets figures, an oft-used electric razor, and some rocks. You can never have too many rocks.
The lower shelf is mostly crammed with other books and stuff I've deemed worthy of being kept in my room.
Here's a different angle of that lower shelf. Look, it's Kirby! Hiiii!
It's not a shrine, it's merely a convenient way to keep them! From top: Wii, PS2 (slim version), GameCube (indigo, with GameBoy Player attachment).
And these are the things that go in them. Games, games, games. Numerous RPGs and fighters, balanced with a couple adventure games, platformers, and racing titles. And Puyo Pop.
An N64 lurks in the foreground.
A nice shot showing all of under the bed. This shows some of the things we won't be covering, like those two PSP boxes on the left of the television. Incidentally, that TV is older than I am.
Titles for the DS! More platformers than the disc variants, but largely similar overall. Darkstalkers 3 lurks at the bottom.
Japanese cartoons are weird, man.
A nice shot showing most of my titles, the boxes for the Lucky Star collector's editions, and some scraps of paper that happen to be there.
The rest of the under-the-bed stuff. Beyblades, more papers, and a big-ass jar of candy.
Pan up, and this is where I sleep. I bet you've never had such a cool bed in your life. That blue thing is the pair of gym shorts I sleep in.
Hey, can we get in closer?
Oh, that's better. Now you can also see the Harry Potter sheets that are currently on there. Coz I'm such a pinnacle of maturity.
The very top of the pile of plushies I sleep with. And a The Cheat! (Awesome! My very own-a The Cheat!) It's a very varied pile, consisting mostly of Giant Microbes and Pokémon.
The Eeveelution family surveys the room.
Now let's slide over to my desk. Which I didn't think to take a full shot of, so just pretend.
As always, shelves have books on them (including the Clow Book). Not to mention foxes and lobsters.
Here's more books. Fortunately, I preface my cool books like His Dark Materials, Dilbert, and World War Z with Goosebumps, just to show what a loser I am. =D
The Neopets board game, and the Ghostbusters tabletop roleplaying game! I know for a fact you don't have anything that cool in your room. And you snore in kind of a creepy way.
To further my ever-present coolness, the shelf right next to the one with Goosebumps books is covered with Ben 10 figures, and some other miscellaneous figures.
Is it cooler if I bought them only for the displaying, or does buying them at all make the whole thing?
All right, I'm earning my cred back with this pic. Lego Batmobile collector's model. It was, like, $100 and took me six hours to put together. It gets a shelf all to itself, with a terrific backdrop of the poster from the first Burger King Pokémon promotion.
On top of those shelves are these things! Star Trek props, a jar full of Pokémon figures, a jar of foam items, and Purina Werewolf Chow. What every home needs.
The last shot of the desk includes some novelty pens that look like novelty pencils, a couple boxes of The Legend of Zelda trading cards, and my cute Eevee drawstring backpack.
An empty tissue box with Wall-E andShivahn the girly robot Eve on it. Yeah. You know you're jealous.
Ah, the dresser. Nothing says "clutter" like the top of a person's dresser. At least, I hope it's not just me.
Also, there's nothing actually IN the dresser that's interesting enough to photograph.
Crabs! *snipsnip*
Oddish stands vigil over my deodourant, while anime props and coloured pencils collide, and my other DS makes a hidden cameo (it's black). Also appearing: graduation photo of my cuddlebuddy Neekko (circa 2005).
This pile is where I keep my most recent artworks, or at least the best ones. On top is Pokémon Fan Club.
Vital instruments! From the top:
*Loyal hairbrush
*<eyeglasses go here when not in use>
*One of 882 pieces of cursed Aztec gold, and a key from the same franchise
*The original Ben 10 Omnitrix
*Some LED lightstick thingie
*My favourite yo-yo (a blue Duncan Imperial) on top of a pack of French Harry Potter playing cards
*Work ID badge on top of my Yu-Gi-Oh! dueling deck (in custom duct tape case)
*Alethiometer and Green Lantern power ring
The rest of the dresser clutter. Highlights include Black Manta, a nice hardback Pokémon book, waxed paper covering my imp comics, Invader Zim DVD box, and this guy:
This thing is possessed, I'm telling you. I made it myself, and it keeps trying to throw itself off the dresser. It moves backward, and every few weeks, I'm always pushing it back in place. Also, homemade Millenium Rod.
I also have a wooden sword in my room.
Pokémon DVDs! Various other things too. (Can you find the Slinky?)
Cute hats! One for Inuyasha, one from Gaia Online (the ORLY? hat), and one handmade of Rhea Snaketail from the webcomic Slightly Damned. Also: facehugger enters play.
Comics.
Lots and lots of comic books.
Here are some comic books that actually get on a shelf. Lucky devils.
Seriously, I have a lot of comics. Here is a different angle of those rows, so you can see some of the spines. (If I wasn't currently lending out Runaways, you'd be able to see that too, instead of those pieces of cardboard poking out of the rows.)
Things that are not comic books! Except for Bone. And the Rorschach mask is tangently related. No, this shelf is mostly taken up with old issues of Nintendo Power (which I would still be getting if they hadn't fuxxed up my renewing =< ), as well as every single issue of Neopets Magazine. And RC!
The whole closet. Let's get in closer on the awesomest part:
My figures! My really cool figures. How about some highlights?
Fry, Power Girl, She-Hulk (obscured), Terra, and Mistylounge pose stiffly around a signed photo of Tara Strong. Small Mario characters, much larger Pokémon, a clay figure of Neekksy (once more, made by Neekko), and an actual Japanese gashapon figure of Wolf Link and Midna.
More of my favourite Pokémon, plus the kick-awesome Anne statue from the webcomic The Wotch.
Wall-E andShivahn Eve again, with my character Kato made into a box.
Ame-Comi statues! Power Girl, Harley Quinn, and Catwoman reimagined into anime-style PVC cuties. I really totally love these things.
Also in the closet is a skull made of duct tape, wearing a cat-ear headband. Because why not?
I also have a lot of DVDs. Not as many as I do for comics, but still. Quite a few DVDs there. And those are only the ones that are television programs! No theater-type movies in there, except for certain animated superhero ones. And Mystery Science Theater. I guess those count as movies.
Mudkip clip eats choco-cornet screen wiper. Film at 11.
Oh, look. More manga. Clearly I like this stuff as much as American comics. It's also easier to shelve.
It's not all manga, though! Here's some irregularly sized comic books stacked in front of some actual novels.
A closer view of these irregularly sized comics. Asymmetrical book stacking. NOT like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947.
And a closer view of those novels, across a landscape of Empowered. Most seem to be Stephen King, with a little Jurassic Park and Dracula thrown in for good measure. The ones you can't see coz the irregularly sized comics are in front of them are A Series of Unfortunate Events. Also pictured: Nickelodeon Slime. No home should be without it.
What a surprise: more comics. Except these are printed collections of newspaper comics, which is new and different. The webcomic Ozy & Millie also occupies this shelf, because it's that good.
Empty cans of soda and scented wax things make great decorations.
More comics. I mean, strategy guides. Yeah, I also collect those. The thick hardback Twilight Princess one is likely the crown jewel of the set. Also anime art books. Two whole ones!
The rest of the books on this shelf. I love handbooks and survival guides for fictional stuff like that, so if you know of any in the same vein that I don't have, well, now you know what to get me for Decemberween.
We have now made a complete perimeter around my room.
And now to wrap things up: posters! You may have noticed my vast lack of wallspace in the other pictures. I will now show these wall coverins off in depth, for your amusement.
Jazzy, Midna, Hsien-Ko (of Darkstalkers), and Linda (of Okage: Shadow King). They're all win, but I had to move that stack of Buffy and Angel DVDs so you could see Linda. Also, Flying Madness wanted poster.
Two screenshots of Ranamon, and a really old pic of my best friend Loopy.
Mew Ichigo and Mew Mint, drawn by Neekko, another Ranamon pic, mothbat Neekko, the cast of the web cartoon Bonus Stage, and the beginnings of all those Neopets trading card game posters.
Neopets Trading Card Game posters. And some disorientation for you, free of charge.
Dark Magician Girl, Terra, Tokyo Mew Mew, and some friends I had on Gaia are only a FEW of the posters concentrated in this area.
Some Pokémon posters (Generations IV and II, respectively), and a drawing of Neekko in Venom panties, drawn by Neekko.
More PokéPosters, for Generations III and I this time. Also, Squad 8 armband.
Big posters of Neopets Magazine covers, depicting Illusen and a Red Shoyru, small poster of Misty in her TCG outfit.
A poster of the Neopets Trading Card Game that catches too much glare, and a cool poster of Seto Kaiba on some unusually thick material.
Vira guards the doorway while Digimon are all around.
One Piece wanted posters are the last things you'll see on this tour. Please check your seat for anything left behind, and clear the walkway for the next group.
So, what do you guys think? =D Doesn't this totally encourage you to start posting your own pics of your domiciles? Isn't that almost as good as pictures of the actual people? Mind you, you don't have to go as overboard as I...
