BECAUSE MAMORU MIYANO IS LING. I can't get over that.

Okay, right, I've been saving up words from that "comment and I'll give you words to ramble about" meme like a squirrel. So it's time to gush.

[info]colonize gave me The Legend of Zelda, Peony/Jade, Good Omens, Raine Sage, and Howl/Sophie )

[info]telrunya gave me web pages, Ling, Tales of the Abyss, CLAMP, caparashon )

[info]sha_chan gave me turtles, baddass colonels, Ace Attorney, sparkly blonds, snarky pairings )

I still have two sets to do. Will go with that tonight or tomorrow.

DUDE. NO WAY. I went to Santa Cruz, the town nearby, because my mom insisted I should go to one of those tanning booths. I fucking hate them, but I digress. In the way, I stumbled into this shop, which has the most epic name a shop of their profession can have.



BUTCHER SHOP CURTIS

I kid you not!

I. I don't even know. This is the most bizarre and awesome coincidence ever!

And for the record no, the person attending the store was just a normal old man. If it had been a large, muscular guy with a beard, or a woman with dreadlocks, I would've died of LOL. And ask for a picture.

ETA: OMG the picture is so epic it summoned chapter 97 into existence! ♥ *downloads*

Oh, the names of the Xing seiyuus came out! Let's see, we already know that Mamoru Miyano is Kira Tamaki Ling , and that will never stop being funny. EVER. Now, Lan Fan is Nana Mizuki, whom I know as Rue and Colette (...what a combo). But really, between that amazingly strange range and the fact she's done shy shounen females, I'm not concerned. Fu's voice I don't quite remember right now even though I've heard him. Mei's seiyuu's works are too moeblob so I don't know her at all; I sure hope she's fine.

And now, an important confession. I don't care if you judge me, because the plots were really good and the characters awesome. So after several months, 117 episodes, 4 OVAs, and a lot of fighting with megavideo, I finished this shit out of sheer stubbornness and I'm coming out of this closet. It's got skeletons. Winged skeletons. What I mean to say is:

I watched the entirety of Kyou Kara Maou, and I liked it.

I'd tell you to guess my favorite character, but it's way too obvious.

ETA: I FORGOT.
Good news: CAPCOM is releasing the Ace Attorney artbook in English! Yay!
Bad news: ...The publisher is Udon, aka the idiots who did the Okami artbook. Here's to months of delays!

I... don't even remember what I've been doing for the past days. I've been mostly exhausted and lethargic and depressed and I have no idea what else. I did play a good amount of video games after I returned home.

→ I spent a whole day on Tales of the Abyss, going from the second visit to the Tower of Rem to Eldrant. I attempted to fight Nebilim in very hard and failed extraordinarily. THE SHAME.

→ Finished Void Quest in Persona 4 a couple of days back. The same day I went to spoil myself about a character's s.links in youtube. Yes, feel free to gasp at me and call me things for spoiling myself a SMT game. But I regret nothing. And he broke my heart a lot.

→ Oh, and I found a place where I could download Tales of Fandom vol. 2! Yeah, the Phantasia/Symphonia/Abyss crossover with tons of minigames and extra stories, also a goldmine for my Tales OTP (really!).

Ah, and I bought Tales of Vesperia online in a British store, 8 euros cheaper than it would be here. No, I still don't own a 360, but if it arrives soon I can take the chance and play at my brothers' while I'm catsitting next week. I'll probably get a second hand console because they're cheaper.

And now I must ponder on whether to bid this extremely cheap doujinshi auction at ebay or not!

Crossover / NOT as planned
Yamazaki's (the director) original plan was moving the stage outside of the court, game players can investigate crime scenes and deduce as a detective, and the main character was supposed to be Ema Skye. However, Eshiro (the producer) vetoed his plan, because at the first sight he read the plan, Edgeworth jumped into his mind.

I-- I, um.



...Yeah. Fuck you, producer.

List 10 13 of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, and if they're so inclined, to draw conclusions about you based on the patterns they've spotted.

CLAMP → Eriol Hiiragizawa
Fullmetal Alchemist → Ling Yao
One Piece → Nefertari Vivi
Kino no Tabi → Kino
Mushishi → Ginko
Ouran → Tamaki Suoh
Okami → Ushiwaka (Waka)
Ace Attorney → Ema Skye - Klavier Gavin
Tales of Symphonia → Raine Sage - Sheena Fujibayashi - Zelos Wilder
Tales of the Abyss → Jade Curtiss [- Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear - Peony Upala Malkuth IX]
The Legend of Zelda → Sheik
Persona 4 → Kuma (Teddie)
Avatar → Iroh - Sokka - Toph Bei Fong

If there are more than one, it's a tie and they're on alphabetical order. Except TotA, where Jade IS my favorite but I felt like adding my runner ups because they DO follow patterns.

And again,

Pick a character that I have written, or that you know I have substantial headcanon about, and ask any five questions about him/her. Be sure to specify whether you would like responses to be OOC (responding as the writer) or IC (responding as the character).

Thank you for amusing me yesterday ♥

Going to shop for a dress. I hate wearing dresses. Wish me luck. Meanwhile, two memes:

Hey, guys?

It's my birthday. So if you want to be polite and say hi, or avoid making one post about it because you barely know me, or whatever, go spam me here. Please to include one or more of the following:
→ simple 'happy birthday'
→ abuse of blinding html in a text
→ silly youtube videos
→ picspam of macros/animated gifs/cute animals/awesome stuff
→ fanart/fanfic/recs of stuff I like (say, if you've ever found a pic of Jade Curtiss wearing Battle Master, now that would be made of win but I'll take anything shiny)
→ funny or cool articles/blog entries/news
→ presents made with dubious degrees of quality
→ pretty much anything you think I'd like

(Nothing too NSFW, though. I'm still at mom's and people could glance at the screen any moment now.)

Of course, if you've already given me birthday wishes I love you for that ♥ And you're spared from this, but it's still a chance to spam!

Oh, and I'm turning 33. So old.

LOL aliens!
If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Thanks, guys ♥ I'd be more insane today if I hadn't people to talk to.

My God, finally my brother's Math exam is over, meaning I have something more similar to a vacation going on. I haven't even been on the Internet that much this week. Or at least not at LJ. I'm really sorry I didn't reply to oldish comments; I felt kind of embarrassed because I'm a shy asshole or something :(

I'm still stuck at my mom's, though. I REALLY WANT TO PLAY MY PS2 VIDEO GAMES BAWW. And we have to go shopping on Saturday because I need a fucking dress I'll only wear once. I hate that crap.

And my mom got Wii Fit because she's a bit fat, and my brother is whining about going on a diet, and I could use to lose three extra kilos and whatever. I did some "training" during 20 minutes and it was so boring and the board voice so annoying and... Apparently I have "good balance", which I say it's bullshit because I keep stumbling over people in public transportation pffft.

And so it's not all RL without resorting to pending memes to do. Dude, there's already merchandising with Ling Yao in the making. Maaaaan, how neat. Come to think of it, even if Ling is my favorite FMA character, the last chapters were so kickass I didn't even miss him. Now I see that (most likely ugly) SD gashapon and feel nostalgic.

ETA: the new Suzumiya Haruhi opening is really shiny and pop-art-ish and I like it enough to want to icon it *_*
