Quetzal-Queen

If you've looked at my profile, you will know about the weird and wonderful creature that is Starfeather. She is a Zilvyir (pronounced zil-vee-ir) an extraterrestrial hummingbird-like species that are very intelligent and introverted.
She has had this name for several years, but now it is time for a new one. Her new name will represent a time of change for her-from me keeping Starfeather

unknown to other people to creating and revealing the world of Starfeather to fellow humans. Also, I don't feel like the name Starfeather is unusual or creative enough. Here are the new name options I have chosen. Comment with the corresponding letter beside the name. I would really appreciate any help in choosing a new name. 
A. Thalira (thuh-lee-ruh) (this is also the name of a Doctor Who character, but I love this name and it won't be bad to use this name. The name Luna has been used so many times for characters and it is not a copyright infringement.) 
B. Aikaterina, or Aika for short (eye-kuh-teh-ree-nuh) (Means 'peace' in Greek. This is a variant of the name that Katherine came from. I am quite fond of female Greek names.)
C. Airlea (air-lay-uh) ('ethereal' in Greek.)
D. Kerova (keh-row-vuh)
E. Zesquella, or Zes or Quella for short(zes-kwell-uh)
F. Kateryna (kuh-teh-ree-nuh) (Ukrainian form of Katherine.)
G. Kyrivin (kih-ree-vin) (note that the kih is short.)
H. Suggest a name! 
I do have a short story about Starfeather that I am yet to publish. It is called The Tail of Starfeather and is a short prologue. I wrote it a few weeks ago and there are already things I want to change about it, so for me Starfeather is often changing. It's not just one character I am creating-I have been thinking about other Zilvyri, how she would interact with them, and the planet she lives on. I'm going to publish the story on Wattpad and then DeviantArt soon. 

When I first saw the trailer for Inside Out, I thought it was a cheesy movie that wasn't worth seeing, and it is the film I have left until its last day in the cinema to see. How wrong I was! Inside Out is a unique and wonderful that is so creative, I have never seen anything else like it. 
:bademoticon: The perfect emotion for this!

To summarise the plot (something that I'm not good at. I like to explain the whole story and keep writing for ages, but I can't reveal too many spoilers for those who have not seen it.) Inside Out is about a young girl named Riley, or more specifically, her personified six main emotions-Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust. They live inside her mind- a vast world with the Headquarters as the main place where the emotions live and affect Riley's life. Joy has been Riley's first, most important and leading emotion for all her life. That is, until she if forced to move to San Francisco, into a dirty old house, and a new school. These events upset her so much that Joy and Sadness are removed from the Headquarters, leaving Anger, Fear and Disgust as her only active emotions. Joy and Sadness have to work together while going on a dangerous journey back to the Headquarters to make Riley happy again, with an unexpected helper along the way. There are many odd concepts and areas they explore-such as the Personality Islands, which represent important areas of Riley's life that she loves (Family, Friends, Hockey) Long Term Memory, which is lots of curved shelves with memories stored in them, and Abstract Thought, a blank area where bizarre things gradually happen to the characters while they are in there. Riley's memories are reprsented by glowing glass orbs, yellow if they are happy or blue if they are sad. 

Here's my own random writing about this movie. Coincidentally, while Riley's mum rung her phone twice and didn't answer, the same thing happened to me while I was watching the movie! And a minor spoiler, you get to see inside other characters' minds, including that of animals. It's very fascinating.

I highly recommend watching this movie. It surprised me with how engrossing, exciting, and wonderful the story and ideas are, but the thing I love most about it is the creativity! There are no cliches in Inside Out, and I recommend to anyone who is reading this. It shows that every emotion has its place in a way that is easy to understand.
When the movie was finished, I was thinking about what my own personified (or dragonified, rather- my emotions are likely to take on dragon form!) look like. So I will finish this with four words: go see Inside Out!

My second fun meme! Tagged by icedragon78970 
1. Grab the book closest to me, turn to page 18, and copy down line four here. 
"I promise you, Winter. I can't hear anything in your mind right now. And even before, it was very...confusing." -Wings of Fire Book Seven: Winter Turning, by Tui T.Sutherland
2. Stetch your left arm out as far as you can. What can you reach? The carpet and Winter Turning.

4. Without looking, guess what time it is. 9:45
5. Now look at the clock. What's the actual time? 10:23 (in the morning)

11. When did I last laugh? When talking to one of my big sisters last night. 
12. What are on the walls of the room you're in? (My room) Many posters and pictures, including a big official Rio 2 poster from the cinema, an Anne Stokes 'Dragon Kin' artwork poster, a Jurassic World poster that shows what looks like the Indominus Rex and two Velociraptors having a roaring competition, a 3D picture with five different species of owls on it, a glass macaw picture, a Ciruelo dragon calendar, another Anne Stokes picture, a picture of a European jay and another of a magpie from Wales, a very realistic owl (not sure on the species of owl, I think it's a tawny) face drawing and a grey heron drawing done for me several years ago...Yes, it's clear here I art is very important to me.

No-one other than icedragon78970 has tagged me to do two fun memes! Here is the first one, about me. The second meme is about random things. I will delete three questions from the second meme because they are irrelevant to me. 
Meme 1. 
1. How did I join DA? (Dumbledore's Army? Yes, I'm a member of that too. Harry Potter reference) As a Spyro fan browsing the internet a few years ago, I found DeviantArt and it quickly became one of my favourite websites with all the cool Spyro art. I got an account (not this one) My name was coconutbird1, and you know what art I mostly looked at. I did submit my own art but they were really old drawings and paintings that were rather...cheesy.And generally not well done. I do remember some artworks, but I only know where one of them is now. Eventually, I decided to delete my account, because I thought DeviantArt was dodgy. But now I have returned with much better art. There is still dodgy stuff on DeviantArt but if you go to the right places and be careful you won't see it. Now I browse a much wider range of art, understand the purpose of Llama badges, and I am more popular-I have a better experience on DeviantArt. I also thought that DeviantArt would be a better website to submit my art than Wattpad. (a writing website) I only submit my best art here. If you want to see more art click on this link to my 'art book'  www.wattpad.com/story/31910079…
2. What does my username have to do with me? The answer to this question also starts a long time ago. I discovered photos of Resplendent Quetzals, colourful birds of Central America, and I immediately became obsessed with them.
 
This is a beautiful artwork of a male quetzal by one of my favourite artists ever, Nambroth aka Jennifer Miller. And then I thought that the word Queen would sound really cool with alliteration, even though only male quetzals are colourful, and it became my username for all websites I''m on (DeviantArt, Wattpad, Pinterest, Scratch)I think I could make up a better, more creative username, but I can't change it here. Not that I don't like quetzals anymore-I wouldn't stop loving them!
3. What is my current avatar of? It is a photo of Evanna Lynch, the actress for Luna Lovegood, that I got from Google Images and edited on an app called PicsArt. 
4. How many watchers do I have, and how many users do I watch? I have 28 watchers, thank you everyone! A lot less than I have on Wattpad but still significant. I really appreciate every watch I get. It shows a person is interested in my artwork or love the same things that I love. As for how many people I am watching, I'm not sure-but I do a have a very long list! I watch every user I like the art of. 
5. Do I have more than one account? No. I don't understand why some people have multiple accounts, unless they want to change their username without getting a Premium Membership.
6. Name four of my favourite artists on DeviantArt. Nambroth Seeraphine JazzTheTiger , and neondragon are four artists I have loved the art of for a long time, and still very much do-in fact, I'm discovering even more of their art!
7. Who do I admire because of their personality? icedragon78970 , aka Aimee, for her kindness, art trade, similar interests to me, and generally being amazing! Also, thank you to AMCAlmaron  , UnseenIvy , and @Dracoling123 for their kindness and generosity. 
8. How many deviants do I actually know in reality? None. DeviantArt is not well-known or popular at my school, and I have to explain what it is to other people.
9. Do I comment, fave, or both? What a silly question-both!
10. What do I typically post on DeviantArt? Drawings of mythical creatures (mainly dragons, and including fanart) or birds. But I do have a painting and a photo of a merchandise collection, and once I get good at basic digital drawing (on my tablet with a screen. Not a Wacom tablet, though I do really want one of those and a laptop) I might submit digital art.
11. Do I participate in clubs or contests here on DeviantArt? I like to join every group that interests me so I can submit my art to them, but I haven't entered a contest before, except for a Wings of Fire contest I recently entered.
12. What is my most popular artwork? Eye of the Dragoness is most popular with 16 favourites at time of writing.
  
13. What is my favourite artwork in my gallery? I don't really have a favourite. All of the artworks have significance to me-I can't pick just one!
14. What are things I wish I could draw better? Human figures and faces, water surfaces, clouds, wolves, and trees and flowers. With hard work and effort I can improve at drawing these things.
15.Do I have a premium membership. No, but it would be nice to get one when I am older with more art. 
16. How many hours per day do I spend on DeviantArt? Depends on other things I'm doing in a day and how busy I am.
17. Am I a slow, medium-paced, or fast typer? Fast like a falcon!
18. What is the most annoying thing people ask me? I'm not sure. To be honest, I'm probably the person who asks other people annoying questions sometimes!
19. What is the most annoying comment I have received? I have never received any nasty comments. People are mostly and luckily nice here!
20. Who/what inspires me? A complex subject I have written a whole story about. Some of the things, creatures, and people that inspire me are David Attenborough, awesome art, music I love, and weird but wonderful nature.
21. Do I use guidelines when I draw? Hardly ever. The only time I use guidelines would be colouring pages, which I rarely use now.
22. Do I associate people on DeviantArt with their icons? Only if I like their icons, and I think usernames are more important. 
23. Have I ever suggested a Daily Deviation? No, but I would like to find out how and do it.
24. Have I considered leaving DeviantArt? I deleted an account in the past, but now I have returned to stay. 

Jurassic World is a movie that is full of really cute dinosaurs that will make you go 'Awwwwwwwww!' 
No, I'm being sarcastic! The dinosaurs were not cute....MWAHAHAHA! But Jurassic World wouldn't have been nearly as thrilling and brilliant if the dinosaurs were all friendly herbivores that ended up saving the day with humans. 

Before I watched the film, I thought that Jurassic World would be just a copy of the slightly average second and third films, with nothing that really changes the story to make it exciting. And I was proved wrong.

Jurasssic World is absolutely brilliant, as good as, or even better, than Jurassic Park! It is, of course, filled with dinosaurs, many species of them, all very exciting, especially the Velociraptors! what I want for a Jurassic film! There is a unique dinosaur that is a huge influence on the plot, which you find about later. Even the human characters were interesting, with complex personalities, and I could relate to them.If you love dinosaurs (hopefully you do) you just have to see Jurassic World!

I won't reveal any major spoilers in this review-I don't want to ruin your thrill if you haven't seen it yet. So here's a plot summary.You have to watch the previous Jurassic Park films to understand what's happening. Set 22 years after the original Jurassic Park, it is now a huge, functioning, futuristic theme park named Jurassic World. Two boys, Gray and his older brother Zach, go on a holiday to Isla Nublar, the island near Costa Rica from the first film. They are expecting a fun, enjoyable holiday being cared for by Claire, a posh woman but that is all changed when a extremely powerful genetically modified dinosaur, The Indominus Rex, uses her cleverness to break out of her enclosure. With the help of Owen, a manly raptor tamer, Claire tries to correct her mistake of creating such a dangerous dinosaur before it's too late.  And you can guess what happens from that point. Lots of thrilling action! And DINOSAURS! Especially RAPTORS!

There are so many things I loved about this film, and not just obvious features. At the beginning, baby raptors are hatching out of their eggs, and a foot turns into that of a crow in the snow, (my good rhyming!) where the brothers live, which connects dinosaurs to birds, and to the fact that birds evolved from dinosaurs. Especially the RAPTORS (again!) I reckon that the raptors look better than ever, with cool Blue stripes (You'll find out why I wrote 'blue' with a capital letter when you watch the movie) and the other dinosaurs are awesome too. The characters in this film have more deep personalities than Jurassic Park:The Lost World and Jurassic Park 3. For example, Claire is a prissy woman who only cares about creating the Indominus Rex because she will bring more money to the theme park, and does not understand that the dinosaurs are real animals, in other words, has no respect for them. Her character does change for the better through the film, with the influence of Owen. I can relate to Gray's personality-he has a great enthusiasm for dinosaurs. Zach is a risk-taker who can be careless. Also, Jurassic World would be such an amazing place to visit-apart from the dinosaurs, it has modern exhibits, including holograms, many shops, and lush rainforest.

Jurassic World contains violence and blood, and some bad language, so be prepared for them. I recommend you don't take kids that are easily scared. Yet Spirited Away, another film I watched recently, frightened me more than Jurassic World! It's the scenes or monsters that are so weird, they're creepy that really stuck in my mind in Spirited Away, while in Jurassic World, the scary content I could handle better. An interesting connection between these two movies for me is that I have seen them recently and they both involve vicious creatures trying to eat people at theme parks. It's not enough to put me off going to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter someday, though!

I say now that you've read this review, go see Jurassic World!
Before the Indominus Rex comes after you! RUN!!! RUN FASTER!!  

Two more things...I heard a song saying 'She's a man-eater, watch out boys (and girls) she'll chew you up!' That man-eater is the Indominus Rex!! (At least I like to think so) Have a look at this raptor, before she catches you!
