Malks and who knows what

[arethinn]

Reading 3rd Edition (aka "Revised") Clanbook: Malkavian is really making me.. itchy... to play a Malk again. Not that I think I could do it justice at all, since the first/only time I did so (granted it was uh... two-plus years of LARP? the type of LARP plus my own sense of my lack of playing ability is what makes me say that) was bad enough itself, and in any case, at least seven years ago. But CB: Malk just makes me shiver and go yes, that's RIGHT the way other clanbooks don't. I have, at most, passing interest in them (Toreador most of all, 'asides Malkavian -- duh!).

Really, it reminds me of the time (er... 1996-1998 or so) when I was purposely talking to Malkav and sometimes invoking him along with Eris. Never mind that they seemed to get along; I feel a much deeper connexion to Malkav, again-never-mind that he's "fictional" (and in one of the sources most prone to ridicule (White Wolf), at that). 'Minds me of the "where fiction becomes reality" workshop that sethanikeem hosted at this past Kinvention North. In any case, it's a fact that I was purposely trying to reach out to him, to the point of drawing one of the few drawings in my entire college career that I don't hate, to portray him (I don't think I have it on my website at present; will be updated shortly if so).

I'm not sure where I was going with this, except to reminisce about a time when I believed in more things. Believing is good. You might be wrong but it's better to be wrong than to be dead, I think.

Watching the trailer for the next Harry Potter movie, which of course inclues the gryphon Buckbeak... Look, I gots nothin' about griffins particularly, but oooo, the flying, even in the tiny glimpses one gets in the trailer.

Sad that enotsola doesn't exist, but hey, i guess i can't expect everyone to exist until um.. 1 am ? What was that the last (local) time I called him? midnightish? Something like that.

God, yes. I adore Malk Rev, and it's generally thought of as one of the best of the Revised series.

That said, after the first one, expectations were a bit low...

Y'know, I honestly do understand about having a connection to fictional characters. There are a few I talk to and I remember having conversations on ER a couple of years ago about the whole created vs channeled thing. Come to think about it, I had a brief conversation with a friend of mine yesterday about that as well...

I must have missed that trailer of Harry Potter... Can it be found on the official website??
