March Favourites!

Movies and TV Shows

American Horror Story: Freakshow



I have to admit that Freakshow was an amazing season for AHS but it will never beat Asylum! It wasn't scary but it was pretty amazing and there characters were so entertaining to watch. My favourite character was probably Dandy cause crazy characters are the best! I'm super excited for Hotel!

The V/H/S Series



I'm a super big fan of horror movies but I only become really attached to the film it scares me to death. V/H/S is a movie about 4 or 5 different short horror films which cause the viewer to die if they are watched. Sounds like it's been done already but not in this way! I must admit though, I find the V/H/S and V/H/S 2 amazing unlike V/H/S: Viral because it literally made zero sense.

Comics

The Little Crooked Tale



The Little Crooked Tale is a web comic based on the class Disney Princesses (Aurora, Snow White, Ariel, Belle, etc). It takes place after all the their movies and the Villians are out to get revenge. And I don't revenge like putting them in eternal sleeps and stealing their voices. I mean the kind when the villians' slaughters all the protagonists' loves ones! It's a really dark take on Disney but it is really entertaining!

Games

Minecraft



Nothing beats building your dream city in Minecraft with a few snacks and some music playing in the background! I always have to make maps in creative mode. I prefer it when I have all I need! I love building my dream house and faffing about inside it!

Music



Lately I've been listening to 90's and 00's hits on Spotify. The nostaglia gives me such a good feeling and there are many different amazing songs such as You're not alone by Olive. Seriously the 90's and 00's give me such an amazing feeling!

My Favourite YouTube Channels

Hey, guys! Guess what I'm gonna talk to you about today? I'm gonna talk about YouTube channels that I watch and really enjoy. Who knows...maybe we share some in common! You never know until you find out.

10. Joe Flanders

The first channel to grace our list is the maker of the beloved web series Average Joe, a show about a really awkward man who just doesn't seem to get it easy in life. After he is dumped, Joe goes on the hunt for the perfect girlfriend but fails miserably due to his awkward nature and misfortune. It's a hilarious channel that will reassure you that you aren't as awkward as you think you are. Also it stars Andy Biersack which is a plus!



9. Onision

I don't know what it is about watching a guy look up stuff on the internet and make rude comments. Onision is notorious for being "the most hated man on the internet" due to his views and controversial remarks. Not to mention he has many channels it's hard to keep up! But like I said; there is something about watching a guy make snide remarks about people. Personally I find Onision's views more funny than anything. They just don't really make sense and often he contradicts himself. 


8. The Fine Bros/REACT

The Fine Brothers are known for their videos in which they film people reacting to videos, games, songs, food and many other things. Kids React, Teens React, Elders React and YouTubers React. There are a lot of videos to choose to watch. Seriously! Watch the video below.


7. JackScepticEye

JackScepticEye is an Irish gamer from County Westmeath, Ireland, who went from 2,500 to 1.5 millions subscribers in a year. His camera presence is welcoming and he is just as funny as PewDiePie. He also wears a traditional Irish cap showing he's damn proud of his origins! Haters gonna hate!


6. CutiePieMarzia

CutiePieMarzia is mostly known as "PewDiePie's girlfriend" but doesn't really seem like him at all. Her videos tend to focus more on beauty and fashion and sometimes DIYs. She's really cute and sensable unlike her boyfriend who curses and shouts a lot. But she isn't as cute and innocent as she looks. She is a really big fan of horror and is working on her own novel which I'm excited to read.


5. Michelle Phan

Michelle Phan is the most successful makeup demonstrator on YouTube and has her own makeup brand called 'Em'. Her makeup tutorials are easy to follow, her camera presence is so warming and she has a smile to die for! Thank you, Michelle Phan! You're the reason I look great on a night out!


4. Julien Solomita

Julien Solomita is a vlogger and a weightlifter who has the most adorable dog ever! Also the boyfriend of Jenna Marbles gives him brownie points. He always makes his viewers laugh with his random jokes and his creations such as his creepy album Nightmare Fuel. His naughty italian grey hound, Peach, has also melted the hearts of many viewers and never fails to make people smile. Seriously watch the video below. Julien and Peach are amusing!


3. MyImmortalWebSeries

Remember everyones' reaction to Fifty Shades of Grey being made into a movie? Imagine My Immortal (the WORST fanfiction ever written) adapted into a web series. Well guess what? It has been done! In fact, it has been done by many but nothing compares to 'MyImmortalWebSeries'. It is loosly based on the story but still has many of the jokes and laughs from the fanfic! And guess what? They are planning a brand new web series! Check out the trailer below!


2. PewDiePie

He is the #1 most subscribed YouTuber on the internet and it's not hard to see why! He is most notable for his horror game play throughs and how he overreacts to them. He never fails to make me laugh! He was first noticed when he played Amnesia: The Dark Decent and was loved by many. I actually started watching that series the other day. One of the videos lasts less than a minute he was that scared he gave up immediately. 


And last but definately not least!

1. JennaMarbles

Jenna Marbles never fails to make me smile with her cookie personality and foul mouth. Her unique sense of humor is loved by many showing that girls can be funny too. The first Jenna Marbles video I watched was How to trick people into thinking you're good looking -like everyone else- and I was immediately hooked. She is not afraid to film what she wants. Watch This are This and you'll see what I mean. *Also make sure it's not the PG version*.

And what's a YouTuber without their dog! Or should I say dogs?  Fans love her italian greyhound Kermit who always pulls goofy faces and cries a lot when he's not spoilt rotten. And  who can forget her chihuahua, Marbles, who growls at everything.

My favourite video so far has to be her photobooth tag. I can't even explain. Just click on the video below!

My wee Irish family

Hey guys! So instead of doing a St. Patrick's Day post I thought I'd do something different. I can't really explain what it is I'm writing but I promise it is interesting!

These days it pains me to see kids glued to electronics such as iPads, TV, phones...you get my point. Years ago when me and my cousins were kids we used to perform for the grown ups in our family. I used to love going to see my Granny and Granddad because I knew we would be singing or acting for them. We used to sing a wide variety of songs. Irish songs to nursery rhymes. Disney channel songs to songs in the charts. Anything! It always managed to make everyone smile.

I remember one Christmas everyone sang carols and I couldn't think of any others when it was my turn. So I decided to make my own song up. The only line I remember was "we put presents under the tree..." My Auntie and God Mother Sharon interrupted me by saying, "That's not even a real song!" Well, it was worth a try...*laughs at the memory*.

The plays we put on were usually short sketches. We would recreate scenes from TV shows and movies or even come up with out own stories. They always seemed to be really random too! I remember me and my sister once made this random play about people who used to copy each other in everything they said and did. It didn't make sense but ah well we made the grown ups smile.

Me and a few cousins once planned to act out the entire sequence of The Wizard of OZ. Niamh was the main planner as she was the oldest. She told me to wear tights on my head since I was the Witch. Unfortunately, we never got to act it out. But at least the planning and the dressing up was fun.

Every year the family all have a big get together on Boxing Day which is one of the highlights of Christmas for me. Every year the kids would perform for the adults. But as years went by, we all kind of stopped. We still had fun having dinner and opening presents though. Anyway, this year instead of bringing the karaoke, we all went back to the old days and sang for Granddad instead. We sang christmas carols, hymns and folk songs. Even the adults were singing and I must admit I have two aunties who are actually quite amazing at harmonizing! Elaine and Marlene, I'm talking about you two, ha ha.

I sang The Prayer by Celine Dion which my Dad was convinced was from Pocahontas. No, Padre...no. But anyway, I sang the song with the help of Auntie Elaine who did the harmony for me. I'm not the best singer but Granddad liked it. Overall, last Boxing Day was amazing. It just made me feel like I had gone back in time to the good ole days.

Left: Me and my Granddad, Pat. He's the best Granda in the world!

My Granddad Pat's a baker. And no he is not 'Pat the Baker'. But he's still the best. Every Saturday he gets up early to make the best stew ever for the family as they tend to visit the most during the weekend. And when I say the best stew in the world, I mean it. You would agree if you tried it.

Years ago, when I was really young, I used to always ask my Granda to get me a 'piece' which was a piece of bread with butter on it and that was it. It was a simple piece of bread but it made me so happy. The simple things in life are what we treasure the most, they say.


So basically that's it for today, guys! I don't know what the point in this was but it did make me happy. Everyone has their favorite family memories and these are mine. I just want all my family to know that I may be quiet and a bit odd at times but I love you all so much and wouldn't change any of you!

8 Struggles girls who play games will only understand!

Hey, friendship! Do you know what is the most frustrating thing ever? The struggles that girls who play video games go through! No offence to any male readers, but stop judging us ladies! Here are some of the things that frustrate us females who like to play video games!

1. Girl gamer

We hate it when we're referred to as girl gamers! We are 'gamers'! There is no need to add the 'girl' to the beginning of that phrase! I mean, you wouldn't call a female fire fighter a 'firewoman'. Stop the sexism!


2. Buying games

When girls go to buy games in a shop the guy at the cashier teases them by saying "Is this for your boyfriend?" You know what? PIPE DOWN!



3. Girls play apps

So when you're talking to a member of the male species and you mention that you play games they assume you mean Flappy Bird and Candy Crush. Excuse me but you realise that I win every battle I play in Team Fortress 2. *Slight exaggeration*


4. You're not a gamer if you play candy crush

So even if you do play app games that makes you less of a gamer somehow. Forgive me if I can't get my Play Station onto the train!


5. Heckling during online gaming

Whilst you're live streaming people assume you're a teenage boy cause of your girly voice. When you correct them by saying that you're a girl they either hit on you or make sexist remarks. You know what, get your own sandwich and shave your own back!


6. The abuse you get for killing the sexist douchebag

When you finally kill that ass who makes sexist remarks to you during live games, all the other players gang up on you and start taking things over board!



8. Poser Gamer vs. Real Gamer

The image says it all...

13 Life Hacks every Girl should know!

Hey guys! Do you ever go out wearing a bright new lipstick only to find 80% of it is on your teeth? Do you ever get disgusting green marks from wearing jewelery? The better question is; Want to know how to prevent the things in life that annoy you? Then check out some of the girl life hacks that I have listed below!

1. Store your hairclips/bobbypins in an empty tic tacs container!



2. To stop lipstick from getting on your teeth, put your finger in your mouth and form an 'O' around it. Slide your finger out and it should have a ring of lipstick on it. At least it's not getting on your teeth!



3. Put elastic bands on your hangers to prevent the clothes falling off!



4. Put your mascara wand under a running hot water tap. This prevents your mascara from being clumpy!



5. Brush your lips with vaseline to get super soft lips! It also plumps them up a bit too!



6. Paint the inside of cheap rings with clear nail polish so you don't get those disgusting green marks around your fingers.



7. If you're in hurry and haven't got time to iron your clothes which have a wrinkle in them, just use hair straighteners!


8. Apply foundation in a downwards motion to give your face an airbrushed finish.


9. Apply vaseline to your wrist or neck before spraying your perfume. This will make the smell last longer!



10. Use cotton buds to get rid of eyeliner mistakes.


11. Highlight your brow bone and the inner corner of your eye with white eye shadow to make them pop!


12. Line your waterline with white eyeliner to make your eyes look bigger!


13. After applying lipstick, outline your lips with foundation or concealer to give the illusion of perfectly sculpted lips!

When teenage girls get at creepypasta


Ok, so this is something that really bothers me and I want to address it to you all. If you guys feel the same, don't be afraid to respond.

I hate when girls take creepypasta characters and make them into something they’re not. It bothers me so much i actually get frustrated. There are so many things I could point out. So below i’m gonna list them.

The thing that bothers me the most about creepy pasta fangirls is the fan art. Basically we do get a lot of good creepypasta fanart on Tumblr, Deviantart and other sites. But what pisses me off is when the arts shows the characters like anime characters. Usually they draw their favourite creepypasta but in a different style to it’s original in order to make the character out to be misunderstood and lovable. Usually we see these characters in anime style with ‘andy biersack’ hair and cute eyes just so they can be made out as attractive *grits teeth*. They are not supposed to be attractive!! They were made to scare people! If a deranged killer was going around your town and the photo that the police release of him shows that he is a complete hottie, that doesn’t make him likable. He will still kill you! 


A perfect example...



Other fanart features a girl with one of her favourite creepypastas. E.g. Jeff the killer (anime styled with emo hair) is standing in front of a girl who is either crying because she has a tough life *mary sue* and is seeking comfort from Jeff or she is terrified of the guy but he isn't going harm her cause she’s crying and is beautiful. Usually the girl in this picture is the girl who created the fan art or who she wants to be cause her life in reality actually kinda sucks and she listens to My Chemical Romance in her black room all day.


A perfect example of a mary sue with Jeff.



Moving on to fanfiction. Creepypasta fanfiction pisses me off so much. We have typical fics: Jeff the killer/OC, Jeff the killer/reader insert, etc. I like reading some creepypasta fanfics. But not the ones about stupid original characters who are basic mary sues. Girls who have hard lives due to either family issues or no friends *actually this could possibly be the same situation for the writer which causes them to write these pieces of garbage as a source of comfort* and manage to find and befriend one of their favourite creepypasta characters and then fall in love with them. Listen: Jeff the KILLER. He would rather kill you than be your boyfriend! BEN is in the form of a statue (enjoy making out with your statue fangirl), the rake is just…well, obviously undatable and Slenderman has no emotions…or muscles.  


"Why did you pick me?"
Jeff started to walk slower. "What do you mean?" He asked as he cut down more branches.
"Why do you love me?" I asked.
He stopped walking. And there was silence for a few minutes.
"You're beautiful as me," He began. "so beautiful, and...You're just not like everybody else. Nobody else is like you, and...I just have the urge to keep you mine forever, mine, mine and mine only...I have the urge to protect you, you're like...a r-rare g-gem...I-I just can't even explain it very well, but..."



So sometimes in these fanfics when the girl gets the creepypasta as her boyfriend he decides to introduce her to his friends. They all usually live somewhere in the middle of no where in a tree house or abandoned house or a mansion. And it’s like when they get there the reader usually states that the pastas are socializing. Like how normal people do. E.g. Slenderman and BEN are playing Xbox, the Rake and Jane the Killer are baking, Jeff the killer is doing his eyeliner -_- NO! Creepypastas are monsters! Not normal beings!


And lastly, I liked this page on Facebook and they post typical pictures like “You see this at the bottom of your bed. What do you?” People literally post the stupidest replies! Like they posted a slenderman picture and people were like ‘oh i’d say hi and give him a hug!’ or ‘i’d get his phone number and a selfie!’ NO you wouldnt!!! No you wouldnt because you’d either be dead already or be just plain scared that there is something standing at the bottom of your bed!!!

So yeah i think i’ve made my points quite clear and i will update this so if you found it interesting reblog and/or follow me and sorry for the rant. I just had to do it.

Thanks for your time, world.
