Glee Forever!

Hi everyone!

I'm sorry I didn't post last monday, I had fall break and I was just resting all week.

But, I'm back! And I have been looking forward to writing about this subject.
Glee Forever! is a free app. What do you do? You play songs, by tapping buttons at the right time. i can't really explain it any better. By playing, you earn several things:

  • Stars. You know, in lots of games you can earn one to three stars in a level. It's the same here, with every song. You use stars to unlock new chapters, with new songs.
  • Story tokens and Glee coins, so that you can buy new "performers", with different themes, so that you can earn more points.
  • Boost cards, to level your performers, so that you can earn more points with them.
  • And sometimes these things, I don't know what to call them, that you need to play monthly event songs. What they are depends on the event. Currently, they're pumpkins.
Does it sound complicated yet? Yeah? I knew it. But when you start playing it, it makes a lot more sense, trust me.

For me, it's mostly about the satisfaction I feel when I get new performers, but I can't really explain why. A disadvantage is the frustration when you're so close to getting that one achievement, but you don't, sometimes that makes me wanna slam my phone down on any surface close to me. Which is why I always play it sitting on the couch, or on my bed. 

If you play it, friend request me on Facebook. We can give each other stuff! Yay! 
Click here for the teaser. It says "coming soon", but it's been out for, like, over a month.

Have fun playing Glee Forever!

Lots of love,

Emmy

Glee Rewatch Fridays

Hey y'all!

I wonder how many of you know what the Glee rewatch fridays are. Let me explain.

A while, I think a few weeks, before the last episode of Glee aired, lots of people on social media made a promise to watch all episodes of Glee again, one each friday, starting the friday one week after the season 6 finale. I think a lot more people have watched Pilot, than there were watching Laryngitis, or Journey To Regionals, because it's pretty freakin' hard to keep it up.

Of course, I'm not saying those people forgot about the show, or can't call themselves Gleeks anymore. I totally understand how difficult it can be to make 45 minutes of time every single friday.
Most of my Indstagram friends don't do it, and gosh are they Gleeks.

But it is really, really fun to do. I look forward to it every week. And I'm kind of proud that I'm still doing it.

So, if you want to join in, (please do, it's so much fun,) this fridays episode is 2x08 "Furt".
Fun fact: that means that friday, it's been 30 weeks since the last episode aired. Wow, time flies, huh?

I love you all,
Emmy

Fan art

Hey!

I am so, so sorry I've been away! I haven't had time, because I write my blog on my mom's computer, and I've been really busy with school.

Anyway, we're talking about fan art today.
Of course, we talked about fan fiction, wich is a form of fan art, but there's so many more ways to show your love for a fandom through art! Here's the most common ones.

Of course, there's the most obvious way of art: actual drawing or painting of something out of the fandom, like a character, a couple or a place.

Then there's the making of virtual edits, for Instagram (follow me (-; @glee.is.the.world.to.me) or other social media. You find some great photos and make them into a scene, an edit for a person, or even an AU (wich is also a way of fan fiction). And that's just a few of the options!

Then there's the video edits. You can post them on YouTube, or on Instagram, if they're short. Put a song behind it, edit in some quotes from the series or movie or book or anything, and some short shots, and voila! You can even make trailers for fan fictions, or movies that don't even exist.

These are some of my favorites (from Glee, obviously) from each category:
 a regular fan art   a virtual edit
And here's a video edit of my favorite Glee YouTube channel.

I actually really wonder what your favorite Glee fan art is, anything you want. I'd love it if you'd send a link to the new Twitter or Facebook page I made, I'm really curious!

Love, love, love you,
Emmy
