<.< robots

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 10:14:27 GMT

...For some reason, I get into fandoms that involve robots. Giant robots from outerspace, robots created by old people... what does astro-boy count as? Angsty series involving robot child that's a replacement? <.< ...On that note, I haven't listened to the 10 minute Cyborge 009 track in forever!

And Gundam. UGH. GUNDAM. *throws arms up* Maybe that's why I didn't like Twilight, there were no robots in it. *shot*

Either way, non-existant Jazz muse bounced out of left field. NOOOO!!
(And dark theme is making my eyes hurt... I need to change it back or something... edit- Blue theme looks nice and does not involve optical pain! This is good!)

More snippet writing (well... less snippet, more one-shot-ish with a heavy load of crack!)

I should probably start posing the little one-shots I have. Boo!

Overlay: Axl wants to know what yaoi is- he asks X. X starts something bad... it spirals downward from there. Don't ask me why I suddenly had Zero playing with dolls, it just... happened.

So kick back and read, How Axl learned a new word

Also known as,

Zero's Happy Fluffly Story Time with Shoujo Bubbles O' Doom

Like all strange circumstances in life, it seemed to happen because of the masses. Axl would later blame it on the fact that it was a term that he Just. Kept. Hearing! around certain groups around the base, and it had been hanging around the back of his mind like some stray animal for weeks. Unfortunately the groups were feeding it and now it was knocking around his skull demanding clarification.

So he tried asking Signas. Who blinked and shifted nervously before changing the subject to reports. And Douglas, who was as clueless as he was, in fact he was supposed to tell the mechanic what he found out, when and if he did.

Alia giggled and suggested asking X or Zero.

So here he was, staring the Blue Hunter down, a determined frown on his face as he realized that X was sipping his coffee like substance as if nothing was in front of him.

...So! "X, I have a question!"

"Uh huh."

"And you have to answer, because no one else WILL and Alia said you knew!"

"Uh huh..." X continued to sip his concoction, aware that eventually his two-syllable answer would be unreliable in the face of Axl's sheer ability to harass him until he wanted to go crawl under a rock and hide until something else caught his attention.

So Axl took a deep breath and let it out, bringing his hands down onto the lunch table with an audible thump that sent random magazines flying. "What's yaoi?"

X choked on his coffee. "What?!"

"Yaoi. Y-A-O-I."

"...Could you rephrase your question?"

"Yaoi, what is it?"

"...Could you phrase it in answer form?"

"X!"

He was trying to buy time. He was hoping that Axl would lose interest. He was... hoping that the roof would collapse in on them, crushing at least one of them so that this conversation would not take place. Unfortunately it was built to survive a large bomb blast and wasn't going to crack just because X sent it a glare for letting one of them live.

...Damn.

"Um... right. Well, er... right. How can I phrase this..." While he was sweating and trying to think of something P.C to say to that, he was also plotting a horrid revenge against one blond spotter for putting him in this situation. X does not like awkward questions and was going to sick Dynamo on Alia for this.

Ah, there you go. “Axl, you know how Dynamo is trying to get Alia to go out with him? It’d be yaoi if he was trying to get Signas to!”

“So Dynamo and Signas dating is yaoi?”

“…More or less.”

“But why did Annette say, I have a new yaoi book then? Do people publicize their relationship or something?”

X was momentarily haunted by a bestseller with a picture of Signas and Dynamo looking longingly at each other from a background of flowers and bubbles of shoujo-esque proportions.

He shuddered.

“No no. That was just an example, and you missed the point.” He said in the tone he reserved for practice with his unit, as he tried to regain his composure over the haunting trauma that was the idea- of... of....

Uuuugh... the mental image was still there. Delete damn it, delete!

"So Signas and Dynamo are dating, and that's Yaoi, but it's not publicized?"

Off in a corner, someone spit their tea and ran from the room. X knew for a fact that within ten minutes the news of the torrid love affair was going to be in every corner of the base, and more importantly, Signas was going to use his scary commander powers to find out that this was his fault. Repercussions would soon follow, made worse by the fact that he wasn't allowed to actually /kill/ X, since he was one of the top four Hunters on base and people would notice something like Signas having him killed off in some secret torture chamber under his office that didn't officially exist.

So why not just run with it?

"Yes Axl, that's yaoi."

"Dynamo and Signas.”

“As an example.” X said, carefully, noting the way the brows furrowed when he said it.

“...so it's not a word just to describe the horror that is that relationship?” Zero chirped, hopping into the seat next to X. He was grinning ear to ear, and looked like he was anticipating something.

X's death, or near death when Signas found out. X wanted to glare at him and maybe strangle him with his own hair, but decided against when he could do something better,

“I'll blame it on you.” X said simply, taking a calm drought from his coffee. Coffee, the wonder drug. Coffee, which had a wonder drug mixed in it right now- how else was he going to survive the day? His horoscope had said something about the public and trials of fire, and rather than chance fate he'd decided that today would be an alcohol day and made sure to mix it extra strong.

Note to self: Go see that nice dealer on the corner of the apartment for the next traumatic day at work... His unit didn't need him to watch them that badly, he could just sit on the bleachers and mellow out, maybe shoot at the ceiling lights while they shot at targets.

Zero blinked and brought him back to reality with his well thought out, intelligent retort. “Like he'd believe that.”

X /stared/ at him.

“You'd have to back it up with a reason!” Axl seemed to want to stick up for Zero for some odd reason- probably because for once in his life, he was actually innocent. Landmark occasion.

X continued to stare.

“...I hate you.”

“Love you too bunny.” X handed him his cup and pulled out a vial to pour into it before rethinking the entire situation, the situation to come, and took a shot straight from it.

“Are you /drinking/ this early in the day?!” Zero demanded, taking a whiff of it before looking oddly thoughtful.

“I refuse to deal with anything else that comes my way today sober Zero.” And to prove his point, he poured the remainder into his cup, noting that his coffee was so diluted that it no longer looked like coffee so much as a chocolate milk.

“Give me.” Zero said sternly, taking it before X had a moment to even comprehend the request, let alone the fact that Zero had just stolen his only comfort for the madness that was happening around him.

“Zero- it's not that strong. If I was drunk, you'd know it because I'd be slur-” He cut off when the blond /downed/ it in front of him, letting out a horrified squawk.

Noooooo...

“I need you on your feet, mentally and physically.”

“WHY?!”

“Because Signas is walking this way.” Axl had his hand pointed in the direction of the hallway, his face was completely blank and his spine seemed to crack in half at the terrifying sight of Signas stalking through the halls at speeds of over 1/2 mph.

X tried to jump up, but his foot caught the coffee table and he fell onto it. Right, that's why you weren't supposed to take inhibitors on duty- your reflexes/motion were down. He might need those in about two seconds-

“X.” Signas was calm, or at least, he looked calm. The Merc that was standing at his side, smiling from ear to ear looked anything but, but it was more of an excited kind of chaos, that one. He might have been bitter that he didn't start the situation, but being some cause of torment to Signas was always a plus in Dynamo's mind.

“Sir?” He tried, settling back onto the rec room sofa, the un-comfy ones that had prison numbers on the under sides of them.

“I would like you to come to my office.” He didn't announce it over the comm. He didn't ask for a messenger. He had scared most people away from the area so there were no witnesses. Maybe the secret torture chamber theory wasn't too far off the bat.

On that note. “I'd rather not?”

His eye twitched.

“Sir, is it a pressing matter that you can't tell me here, sir?” There was something rattling around in his skull, he was sure, for he had indeed used honorifics twice in that sentence- something that was either good or was going to make Signas think he was mocking him, given the current situation.

“I'd like to... discuss it in private.” Looked like that latter.

Saying something along the lines of, I would walk with you to your office, but if I fall over on the way there you'll be even /more/ upset- didn't seem like such a good idea.

So X was officially out of thoughts on how to avoid imminent death and Zero and Axl were trying to pick up the slack.

But ignoring that, and seeing as he now had another person here that could possibly answer his earlier question-

“Zero, what’s Yaoi?” That was it; Signas deflated mid glare, excused himself and ran down the hallway, dragging the Merc with him.

Zero didn't even seem to notice, he just put a hand on his chin for a moment and tilted his head to the side, “Yaoi? You really want to know?”

“Yes!” He felt like his eyes were going to pop out of his skull; finally a real answer. He should have gone to Zero from the start.

“Okay... well Axl, when two guys really love each other, or just want a one night stand for the hell of it, they make /sure/ they stop by their local grocery store to grab the necessary supplies and then-”

“ZERO!” X barked, pulling the Axl close and covering the plates on his ears.

“You won't tell him, you won't let me come out and tell him... what do you want me to do, X? Write a play?!”

He'd meant it as a JOKE.

And that's how Zero found himself in the rec room, a box borrowed from Pallete sitting on the ground next to him. He'd cleared out the rest of the Hunters- he didn't need them seeing this- and took a calming breath before he reached into the box.

He pulled out a toy in green army gear.

“Okay Axl, this is G.I. JO. You remember him, right? They had another movie about him about 40 years ago and still make his toys... this is a collectible though, because Pallete is one of /those/ people who will spend a paycheck on a doll instead of WMDs like the rest of us.”

“...So its name is Jo. Got it.”

“Okay. Let's put Jo away for a sec. Well, this other guy is Ken. He just broke up with his girlfriend, Barbie of three years because he was secretly in the closet and didn't want anyone to know. But the stress of trying to love someone he wasn't attracted to, and Barbie's constant demands for marriage, coupled with the poisonous fumes from her bleaching her hair finally made him tell her.” He pulled the blond dolls out and had Barbie bitch-slap Ken before running out of the bright doll house that Pallete had provided for them.

“So now Ken is angsting- don't give me that look Axl, you know what angst is. Think about X after a mission.” He tried to duck the barbie that was thrown at his eye, really he did. And to his credit, it was only her plastic, manicured little hand that grazed his blue cornea, but it still hurt damn it!

“Soo...” He sent a grin X's way while he rubbed his eye, kicking barbie into the air and noting that she hit the wall with a plastic crunch. Damn, he'd have to ebay Pallete a replacement. “After much angsting, he wanders the street aimlessly and almost gets run over-” Zero was completely aware that X was giving him /a look/. And it said, 'where the hell are you getting this from', because this was the sort of cheesy, horrid plot that someone found in a romance/graphic novel of sap proportions. More than likely X would make another sweep of both their rooms to make sure he wasn't hoarding any in them.

“But the driver stopped at the last second, and it was none other than G.I. Jo, in his Military Hummer! Of course, Ken didn't know that, because he'd passed out from the shock. As a military man, Jo knew immediately that Ken wasn't hurt, but that he should take him home with him for plot development, or maybe just a PWP, and so that he could rest and wake up somewhere else other than the street.” Zero put Ken and Jo in the Mini-hummer and rolled it to the brightly painted barbie home that apparently now belonged to Jo. He hummed the theme song to Wave as he did so, for no particulr reason.

He noticed the stares. “Look, I only have one house to work with here. Use your imaginations! So Ken woke up in Jo's bedroom-” It was at this point in time that he felt the eyes burning holes into his skull- he didn't need to look up to see the glare being directed his way from X, but it was Zero's job to look Death in the face everyday so he thought he'd chance it anyway. It was the kind of death gaze he sported when they were around small children, and he wanted Zero to amend his cursing to variables safe to the ears that probably heard worse at home anyway. Either way, it was the look that told him that he thought of Axl as a minor, and that if he tried to made this any higher than PG13 he was going to go grab the scattered pieces of barbie and stab him with them.

Zero didn't have to stand for this. He was a grown Reploid. He was his own person. He-

...really didn't want to sleep in his own room tonight, now that he thought about it.

“And noticed that it was a very nice room?” Zero hedged, one eye squinting slightly as he turned to X, and he would never admit it but he was pretty much asking permission to continue at this point. Goddamnit, if Dynamo were here Axl would have already been through the NC-17 version. “He liked it SO MUCH that he wanted to explore the rest of the house!” He said it in his most painful tone of false cheerfulness, when he was being forced to do something against his will under pain of death. And X closed his eyes and smiled at him in a non evil way, the cheerfulness beaming around the room in waves and it died at the sight.

Ugh, he was whipped, chained and if he didn't like it why was he still here?

“So Ken and Jo met in the kitchen, and hit it off. In fact, when Jo took Ken outside to drive him home, he was about to declare his undying love when he saw it- the Hummer.”

X blinked at the sudden, strange plot twist.

Axl blinked at the sudden, loud ominous 'dun dun dun' sound that came from the barbie dream home loud speaker.

The barbie was still in many plastic pieces in a corner.

“Ken was an environmentalist for the EPA circa 2010, and couldn't possibly be with someone who drove something that got five miles to the gallon! He felt like he was going to die, his heart had torn itself into so many small pieces. Shoujo bubbles dropped from the sky to mourn the loss of his first true love, as he ran into the night, Jo running after him.” Normally Zero would have stabbed himself with the nearby decapitated barbie for using such fluff-tacular words, but at the moment he realized that speed won out over pride. That and X seemed mildly impressed that he knew the words like 'shoujo bubbles' and had thus far kept death out of the plot.

The two dolls hobbled/danced around in circles, until they got to Pallete's cactus, which was now a make-shift park. “It was then that Jo knew- he had to switch to one of those new, electric hybrid cars, even if it meant that he no longer had his bad ass military Hummer.” From the way that X's mouth was hanging open, he was pretty sure that he'd snapped something in his brain as he once again had proven to X that he didn't have a romantic circuit in his body. “When he caught up with Ken, he told him right away, and they... uh- decided to repaint Jo's home in married bliss! The paint fumes eventually poisoned Ken, whose lungs had already suffered too much trauma from Barbi's bleaching years. They had to take him to the hospital, where they met the Doctor, who is really the Link action figure I have in my room, and a torrid battle started for Ken's affection but that's another book so- the end!”

“...” Axl alternated his stares between Zero and the two dolls, which were hugging in 'married bliss'. “So Yaoi is a sappy and or cheesy story about two guys... and that's how it's different than real life?” Whether it was true understanding or he was afraid of more happy fluffy shoujo-bubble story-time, Zero wasn't sure. Either way, it was right.

X looked like Thomas Light himself had just walked into the room and handed him another flask of reploid alcohol. Needless to say, that's really damn happy.

“Yes!”

“Well kind of.” X's eyes were about to pop. So was the vein on his forehead as he made ready to strangle the blond.

“What you just saw was technically not yaoi Axl- it was too PG13. Hell, if it wasn't for the violence from Barbie and Ken almost being run over, I'd have given it a G. For it to be Yaoi, I'd have to put an age rating of at least 16 on it. Jo and Ken didn't even kiss, for gods sake! Is that even shounen ai X, is it?! What kind of a story did you force me to edit, bleep-entertainment like you prudish-”

Zero shut up, for the fact that X leaned forward and kissed him.

“There Zero, PG 13. Leave it.”

“...Can I get a 16+?”

“Only if it's for me violently stabbing you with the barbie pieces bunny.”

“...Where would you be stabbing, exactly?”

X stared at him for another moment, caught between horror and wanting to hit himself for his comment, before he calmly grabbed Axl and walked out of the room.

This is a test to see if this actually works. *facepalm*

Apparently it did. Aya, I should have checked the faq sooner. <.< Allrighty, going back and editing a few things nao...

Should probably be writing here a bit more. I've fallen into the TF pit and now have a hyperactiveJazz! muse demanding things from me and throwing rabid bunnies into my lair. <.< But I have other things to work on! *headdesk*

whee

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 09:06:21 GMT

I just graduated and what am I doing? Helping mom with her homework because she just started online courses and is so freaked out about everything she doesn't want me to be /too/ far from her when she's trying to do her work.

I'm totally never going to escape the horror of homework am I? <.< Uuuugh she's only got 3 years. At least I'm able to get her to laugh, even if she wants to smack me with something when she asks me for advice and I rattle off ridiculous bs that she knows will both amuse and upset her professor. XD Overall she's at 96%, there must be more of the former.

Rar I'm itching to do something. I just don't know /what/ yet. Sew? Write? Paint? Teach the cats some tricks? Take up the procurement of illegal substances for fun and profit? Gods I'm bored.

my brain, it hurts

Sat, 30 May 2009 23:21:54 GMT

Computers + me = pain, for one or both of us. And a computer class? <.< I must have been on something when I agreed it was a good idea.

But it's over! *sobs* I think I squeaked by with a B!

...this means I need to translate something now that I have free time right? *drags out kanji dictionary*

edit- it has come to my attention that fangirling is indeed a word, and a somewhat widely accepted one at that. *nods*

Nuff said.

In other news, I have bought for my spoilt kitty a pet-co fountain. He loves it a lot. Dad not so much, due to the increased drinking-of-water and therefore the increased litter-box duty.

^^; Saaaaa... well at least we're saving on batteries now. X3

cooking~

Wed, 18 Feb 2009 05:12:21 GMT

I just made punchbowl cake. 2/3 items were still warm when I was throwing them together so I'm going to have to wait an hour if I want it cold, but I'm hoping it'll be as good as the last one.

<3

cr*p!

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 08:31:36 GMT

I must love pain, because schoolwork is taking a backseat again- I thought Grandia Xtreme would suck and lull me to sleep, considering I got it at Gamestop 2 years ago NEW for EIGHT DOLLARS, and it's sat on my shelf ever since but no!

It's really good and I can't put it down! <('.'<) I need to work on that motherloving paper. >

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 21:00:00 GMT

The paper due for Political Corruption is due in a week. And my brain won't shut up about switching paper topics at this late stage.

A WEEK BRAIN!!!

In other news, these pretzels I got at the dollar store are like crack. Crunchy, salty crack that's only $1 for a 15oz bag. <3 Unfortunately the pretzel bag sounds like the pork rind bag and kitty keeps whining at me to give him some. <.

overload

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:12:38 GMT

I don't have any finals this semester (woot) But I do have two worth-an-insane-chunk-of-the-grade papers!

Due in... 2 1/2 weeks.

*crawls in the corner*

I need a 'wtf' icon. Seriously.

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 11:38:53 GMT

Rar two projects and a paper due next month- haven't been online much. But more importantly...

Castlevania Judgement?! For the Wii?! And the art is from the guy who draws from Death Note?! AND IT'S A FIGHTER?!!!!!111111! (Ignoring the fact that info has been out for two months)

...But most of all, Soma isn't in it?! O.O WHY KONAMI WHY?!

... there are probably unlockable charas. That's the only thing that'll salvage this thing for me. I mean I have the 3D games and like them. Experimenting is good, it revives the series. But this just seems to be coming from left field. That and Alucard v. Simon just... isn't invoking my inner fangirl for some reason, like it should. I'm sure I could find some way to slash this to make buying it easier, but... kljeiugkljsf *facedesk*

...And they said it was the first of a series. *crawls into a ball in the corner and angsts*

oops

Fri, 03 Oct 2008 21:44:36 GMT

In my bitchy rant about the failings of trained operators, I forgot to mention

Pet Expo

San Jose

17-19th

omg I want to go!! O.O My cats need new swag! NEED!! (Altho if I home with that uber awesome water dispenser that has a steady flow for freshness and that nice pond shape dad said he's going to kill me. Because the cats shouldn't have something nicer than we do, apparently XD)

I'm replaying Nocturne. Oh god I forgot how long it takes to level up demons just to combine them into something new. <.< I wanna do some Demi-fiend art or something...

O.M.F.G

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 08:39:01 GMT

I swapped an elective class out with the one I actually NEEDED to graduate, thus getting another 3 unit course and dropping that 4 unit course, for a total of 6 grad units instead of 7. This put me... just in the under-full-time-margin.

The amount of money they're refunding me for that one unit, that had shoved me into full-time status before? $760. When I saw that on my records I thought I was going to choke on air.

X_____x

My school is such a bitch. <.

wut?

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 10:38:24 GMT

Okay seriously. If the bookstore does not have our books and in most cases, were short supplied... how does our professor expect us to actually do the homework by next week? I know she demands that we keep up no matter what the events of the universe may bring upon us and said lol go borrow it from someone else when they're done!

... but I think she's on crack. Or some variation. Nuuuuu

Hrm...

Anywho, other than that I'm ye______ah close to finishing up a pair of red hakama. (Woot) But to hand sew those pleats or to not hand sew those pleats? I think it'd be a lot of pain and time that I'd miss. <.< The last project that involved back stitching required tons of bleeding and numbness of my fingers by the end there too.

*squints at fingers* You looks relatively healed... meh.

meep

Sat, 23 Aug 2008 02:28:55 GMT

It used to be that Imbri would update this thing once in a while. <.< Anywho! Current cosplay goals:

Fire Emblem, Shin Megami Tensei and Castlevania. I keep shifting which characters tho. But Hector seems like an interesting one to do...

Urk!

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:06:00 GMT

Man... I have to leave for class in 3 hours

I still haven't finished the HW. Why? Why?!

Because my Axl helmet is on my desk and it's calling to me. Saying, work on me. Work on meeeeee- we had so much fun last night!

You lying bitch! I stabbed myself with the razor 2 times cutting out that foamboard! >.o How the hell is that fun?!

AH- Because you'll get to play with the glue and heat gun afterwards...

Oh yeah- wait those burn!!! >< *throws helmet into the closet*

Arrrgh

Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:05:37 GMT

I found a tactics mood theme but I can't figure out how to upload it. ><

Give me a couple more hours Livejournal. I won't be beaten damnit!!! *shakes fist*

You KNOW You're an obsessed fangirl when...

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 21:54:19 GMT

You have strange crack dreams about the games that your brain is pissed off at you for not playing. Because of school, but that's beside the point.

To quickly point out, I've developed a strange love for Tibarn. If Superman was a hawk he would be Tibarn. And he would kill things on the field and be awesome.

But anyway... Fire Emblem/Rockman/Shin Megami Tensei crossover?! Wtf Brain, wtf?!

Heat was going around killing stuff and Serph. Wasn't. There. There was even this one part where he got his ass kicked/what have you and I think it was Janaff that had to help. On that note, would he be counted as a Laguz what with the transformation into a demon thing? -_- I hate you brain.

X apparently was being a whiny ***** about fighting so some bodiless super being more of less said, 'STFU! I am demoting you to Healer Class!'

X- O.O

SBSB- Take the staff, promote and maybe I'll think about changing you back.

I don't remember if he promoted to Bishop/etc. Hmm... I think X would make a good bishop. Oooh robes.

Apparently Tibarn and X didn't get along, because there was some sort of disguise that is... foggy now. But they were starting to hit it off in a once again, WTF BRAIN?! Don't cross FE and RMX and then Pair X and Tibarn! way, when my alarm went off and any future promise of crack pairings were killed prematuraly.

We shall omit the rest of the horror. I just wanted to get that part down for my own future head tilting.

gathering materials

Sat, 24 Nov 2007 10:46:59 GMT

I have January off! =D Mom is having a heart attack at the idea of my driving around in the supposed fog when I don't have to (I'm ahead in school) so she's putting her foot down.

Month and a half off. *dances around*

Or rather, I'll have from my finals in December until when the term in Feb. starts. That should be... like, from Dec. 15th until the 12th of Feb. Like 2 months grand total.

I'm going to try to get cracking on that Fire Emblem and Rockman cosplay I want to do for July. I don't know if I have enough stuff here to do both right now though... I might have to order more plastic. =/

Dad's going to have a fit with me spray painting again. XD

lol

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 22:28:38 GMT

Okay, so I say I should do something and for once I actually get started on it right away. Making pants fit right is really really hard tho! >< I blame my mom, she's at fault for my figure.

Hm... and reference pics are turning out to be more of a pain in the ass than much of a help, what with the cloak and the hiding of things- damn Raidou and his cool cloak thingy. (I swear, I should just be going off the pics in the doujin I have. They look about right. XD) That and I really can't tell if I should be adding a strip of white or folding the pants up and putting it on the bottom. But you'd see a sewing line then, ne? There's isn't one in the pic, so...

Urrrgh judgement call. X_____x I want accuracy, but isn't that kind of hard when you don't know what that is? lol.

I so want a police cap. =D So I can run aroud my house with it on and scare my brother. XD

hm

Mon, 08 Oct 2007 04:32:30 GMT

I am so unhealthily obsessed with SMT: Devil Summoner. (forget that I've already moved on from it and am playing P3)

It's sad. It's depressing. It's surpassed DDS... which I like to delve into and hunt for doujin for in my free time. But noooo..

In other words... Devil Summoner cosplay? Ooooo...

But I'm the only one that I know of who plays the SMT series. I wouldn't have anyone to go as Narumi if I went as Raidou or maybe even Tae. (who I think is cool. She is!) *whine*

I could go into a long list of series that people I know should play. But then they'd counter with .Hack (...NOOOO) and... and... wait, that's all I can think of. XD

Release dates. How I hate release dates...

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 23:44:18 GMT

*eye shift eye shift* So I tell people I'll update this thing for my own benefit more often. Riiiight

OMG I thought CV Rondo of Blood was supposed to be out on the tenth! (It's the 28th apparently)

...I've already played Rondo of Blood. My brother had a Turbo Duo/graffix 16, which was freaking awesome and cost him... we'll not go into that. But many great games were on that system, including Rondo of Blood and Ys. And then they brought a cheap and crappy version of BOTH to the SNES (or was Ys on the Sega? can't remember) and I was like... pwaaa? These are not the games I played.

Either way. Many people never got to know the true awesomeness of those games. So it's nice that Rondo of Blood is coming out. And I want it damn it! especially since my brother doesn't have a PSP and I can't taunt him with it, the way he still taunts me with his Turbo Duo (Which are like impossible to find now)

...He'll probably go buy the system for it.

...Eh. I'll still have it first. XD

I've been busy with work- new experience for me. ^__^

But anywho, we were walking through pet-co, and they had these halloween costumes for cats/dogs (mostly dogs) and I started going, "Oh my god. Oh my god mom! We have to dress up the cats for halloween" (er- we just got another cat last week)

And mom was... not really shocked, because it's me for crying out loud, but she was horrified. She wanted to know where I was going to buy them.

Silly mommy.

I'm going to make them cosplay outfits!!! =D

I'm debating which, but I'm thinking a Captain from Bleach for one of them (maybe just the captains jacket) and some from Tsubasa... maybe the uber cute mage coat for the other.

SO there was this unmistakable scent of Fabrese in the air, no matter where I went, and it took me some hours to figure out that it was coming from my cat.

...obviously he didn't spray himself.

Much questioning led me to discover that my mom, of all people, sprayed the cat with, agian, Fabrese of all things. Apparently she was cleaning this oversized pillow I have and noticed that he didn't smell all too good himself. And sprayed him. Quite liberally if it lasted this long.

...I'm torn between loving the nice, clean scent of the cat and horror at what my mom did. ^^;

Anywho. In other news, Upcoming conventions, still working on assorted stuff... three tunics: Almost done, two need collars, and the toga thing needs the border sewn on. Props: Wings on the master sword need to be glued on... then the thing needs to be painted. /shrugs/

Am I forgetting anything? Oh, I need to style the wig.

Several extras for this thing: I have two super stars and a bomb. =P Plus I have two bottles and a small key for Link. Mario's making a super mallet, and Pikachu's got pokeball's... I think. Smash Bro's has so many prop items! I was tempted to try and get an umbrella done, but I didn't know where to start, or how long it would take.

Oh! A fireflower~! O.O I should try to make one before Fanime, it would be cute! Bunny ears have been on my mind too, but again- how and etc? O.o
Oh... I forgot! I already have a huge fan in my closet. ^___^ Sanzo-san gave a tutorial on how to create them! =D

translation woes

It was after I spent my birthday money from my grandmother on doujin (The poor thing said, do with it as you will, and if she'd known I was going to spend it on slash, or one that is slash, anyway, doujinshi from videogames no less I think that she'd have rethought that!) that I realized I needed to get my ass in gear, bring out my kanji dictionary that I could use to bludgeon a freaking cow, and start translating the damn things again.

...I'm about 5 pages into the one from Cherry Rose Pink. That counts for something right? Right?

...I REALLY want to know what the hell is going on in some of these scenes! *head keyboard*

I have 6 RMX and 1 EXE (They're a Racoon and a cat, it's so CUTE!) ones right now, 6 Harry Potter- one of which is an Anthology of Sister of Franders works and is really 3 or 4 doujin in one, and it's at least 120 pgs. I think there are translations of at least a couple of the stories out on the web though, so I'm not in as much pain there.

Other than that, a scattered assortment- Final Fantasy, Chrono Cross, Suikoden... the list continues. Oh, and one each from Yu Yu Hakusho, Prince of Tennis, and Naruto, and these were bought for me as presents b/c my friends thought I owned too much VG/HP doujin. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that every time I go to a convention, I pick up at least one new Harry Potter doujinshi... I gave one away last time tho. =P

Ohhh, there's this really cool one, where SIGNAS of all people is like, gunning enemies down with two guns Axl style (Douglas is kicking ass too!) and I'm like O.o What the hell is going on! I know X is fighting the Zero Virus at the time, but still...

Okay, plan for the summer is to get at least a couple of these done.

Also, I've found various websites that sell Megaman/other doujin if anyone is interested (Note: A good chunk are in Japanese) I know I am, I'm just staying away until I get some work done on the ones I already own!
