KAMINA SAVES.

Also,

KAMINA DIED FOR YOUR SINS.

Only,

FAR EARLIER THAN I WAS LED TO BELIEVE.


I mean seriously. I've pretty much been spoiled horribly for all the major deaths in Gurren Lagann, to the point where the only person I'm SURE survives is Viral because there was wank at fandomsecrets about how he got punished with eternal life or sth and some people were like THAT ISN'T A PUNISHMENT and yeah. So I know for sure he lives. And. Well with all the Kamina = Jesus memes it's pretty clear that Kamina was. Not so lucky.

I KNEW THIS.

When I started watching I vowed to myself to not let the spoilers affect my watching experience and get attached if I wanted to get attached and be indifferent if I wanted to be indifferent, and I figured I'd have around 18 episodes to make up my mind. I've watched juuuuust enough shows with character death to have noticed that if peeps are gonna start dying, it's usually around episode 18. Presumably because by that point we're attached to the character(s) in question and are more easily heartbroken + character death seems to herald the Beginning of the End of the show. FINAL ARC and so on? THE POINT IS THAT I THOUGHT I HAD TIME.

...

...

...

I DIDN'T HAVE TIME AT ALL BAWWWWWWWWW KAMINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF YOU CAN'T BE GONE THE SHOW HASN'T EVEN REACHED THE HALFWAY POINT YET WTF ALL THE MAIN CHARACTERS HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN INTRODUCED YET KAMINAAAAAAAAAA COME BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK SOB ;~; I should've known something was up when Kamina and Yoko had a completely onscreen lip-locking kiss, THAT'S NEVER A GOOD SIGN FOR A CHARACTER'S WELL BEING IN A MECHA ANIME.

i didn't even have time to decide whether or not i was going to leave simon's and kamina's relationship alone and accept it as a MANLY MAN'S PLATONIC BROMANCE or run with the fact that kamina called simon his 'aibou' and that one time when they were sleeping together all cuddled up and touchy-feely and adorable and slash the ever-living-fuck out of them. NO TIME TO DECIDE ;~; I was leaning towards platonic purely because media in general needs moar straight-men touching other straight-men without it being gay, but. the shipping was so tempting AND NOW I'LL NEVER GET TO DECIDE FOR SURE. BAWWWWWWWWWWWW ;~;

I. Have so much shit due tomorrow (TODAY) that it's not even funny. And I am seriously contemplating just. Taking a sick day.

Like. For real. I am so fucking burned out I can't take this fucking shit anymore. Just. AUGH.

It really doesn't take much to keep me happy but right now the only happy I get anymore is from anime and I don't even have time for it anymore. Technically. And making time for it screws me over academically, which stresses me out and makes me MORE unhappy, and to make up for the unhappy I watch more anime and it is a fucking vicious cycle.

I miss having a social life.

Fuck I even miss my mommy and daddy bawwwwww ;~;

Random sidenote: still stalking ya, somarium peeps. note to self: start stalking the peeps Harley interacts with, now that Abel's gone suddenly my email alerts have decreased by like 60% sfsdkjfh. also just fyi every time Cielo and Gale have a thread together and are all touchy-feely I am mentally shouting TOUCH MOAR because I am immature and fangirly like that. RANDOM FACTOID: A significant part of my decision to buy and play DDS1 was because I read the bios for Cielo and Gale on the website and went "AWESOME AND I'LL EVEN HAVE SOMETHING TO SHIP THIS IS GREAT." And then I actually played the game and went "wtf these are the least shippy couple in the game what gives" and then I got distracted by my conspiracy theory regarding Serph/Heat being subtextual canon and so forgot about the ship until game 2, where Gale and Cielo are suddenly like. BROS4LYFE and it was glorious. Except for the part where I still almost forgot about it because I was too busy being flabbergasted by the game seeming to prove all my Serph/Heat conspiracy theories RIGHT. DO YOU KNOW HOW OFTEN THAT HAPPENS? NOT VERY OFTEN.

Though I've gotten pretty good at differentiating between canon gay, fanservice gay, and fanservice gay that is probably canon but it will never ever be admitted by anyone and also it will never go anywhere ever, since then. Yay?

Related: I was lurking at a Gankutsuou comm a few weeks ago and heard that Franz's true gay love for Albert is confirmed by the director. We were supposed to be shipping it, at least one-sidedly. I feel so fucking vindicated :|b Whatever happened to that one chick who like. I think she hung around fanficrants or something? I never interacted with her and only knew about her because of Jen, but she hated Gankutsuou for "butchering" the Count of Monte Cristo and dropped it after 7 episodes or something and was a total Franz fangirl and would not admit that there was any way in hell that Franz was anything other than 100% straight. SHE IRRITATED ME AND IT WOULD BE AWESOME TO SEE SOMEONE RUB THIS IN HER FACE.

Though technically if she was just a book purist then she might have an argument for straight!Franz. I mean. Aside from his.... questionable encounter with the Count (whee opium and sexy stone gurl statue dreams?), he really doesn't give off much of a slash vibe for Albert at all. Hell he's ABSENT for three quarters of the novel! AND IT'S A REALLY FUCKING LONG NOVEL. He's just. REALLY not as involved in Albert's life. At all. And they're supposed to be best buds still in it, and yet, you never get the impression that Franz and Albert have a closer relationship than say. IDK Albert and that Reporter dude- wait reporter dude is a gazillion years older in the book uh. Albert and that guy that Maximillian saves at the beginning. See I can't even remember his name he's such a non-entity.

....

okay yeah seriously fuck this taking a sick day tomorrow. Just. Just. Yeah. Fuckers. FUCK SCHOOL. I originally wanted to make it to the IRL meeting of that online course because one of the dudes outed himself as a former Nelsonite, but. Just. Yeah. I can't fucking do this anymore.

..................... fucking tvtropes gonna eat my life SO HAY DID YOU KNOW THAT THE HUSBAND OF THE CHICK WHO WROTE SAILOR MOON IS THE DUDE WHO WROTE YU YU HAKUSHO? And also he apparently has a canon gay couple in there somewhere HOW DID I MISS THIS FUCK. I SHOULD HAVE KEPT READING. I mean I had heard about how he wanted to write about a shounen manga about gay soccer players one day but likely wouldn't be able to because dudes don't want gay in their shounen, but I had no idea that he'd actually snuck a couple into Yu Yu Hakushou.

... well actually I am mostly surprised it's not Hiei and Kurama. And. Amused kinda actually lolol. SERIOUSLY THOUGH WHO ARE SENSUI AND ITSUKI I DO NOT REMEMBER THESE PEOPLE AT ALL. fuck i should have kept reading.

on a similar note, I need to catch up on Reborn. And Air Gay Gear. And Soul Eater. OH YEAH AND BERSERK. IT'S BEEN A MONTH SINCE I CHECKED LAST SO THERE SHOULD BE. ONE CHAPTER AT LEAST? sob Kentarou Miura is going to get hit by a bus before he finishes this series i know it ;~; WATCH IT BE JUST BEFORE THE VERY LAST CHAPTER TOO. JUST FOR THE PAINFUL, PAINFUL IRONY.

I am so not impressed by my roommate's way of telling me she's moving out on the first of December instead of mid-July like she planned: by leaving a note on the table on the morning of NOVEMBER 20TH (AKA Final Assignment and Exam Period) saying she found a better place and SO SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE BUT REALLY NOT.

I did not fucking need this shit on my mind today I have fucking assignments ASSIGNMENTS THAT I NEED TO BE FINISHING AND THIS IS FAR MORE DISTRACTING THAN MY USUAL DISTRACTIONS.

Now I have to hunt down someone between now and when I leave for Christmas vacation on the 12th. Someone willing to move in fast and leave in July. Awesome. This is awesome.

I mean I had figured out that she probably didn't like me but jesus fuck I didn't even get any WARNING OF THIS. I didn't even know she was looking for another! She never even complains except for that one time about the dishes, how the fuck am I supposed to know what's wrong if she doesn't even say anything! WHAT THE FUCKING HELL.

Really though, I'd be far less pissed off if she had told me at the beginning of the month that she was moving, or at least LOOKING. Then I could have like, you know, PLANNED AHEAD FOR A NEW ROOMMATE.

Fucking christ.

Worst comes to worst I'll pay all of December's rent myself, but seriously what the FLYING FUCK.

So, so, completely not impressed ಠ_ಠ

[edit]... one bit of good news, I got an extension on one of my assignments way easier than I had anticipated. See, I knew I wasn't hallucinating teachers being more hardass on hand-in dates this year, this would not have surprised me at all last year wtf.

btw I get to roleplay in class as one of my characters today. yay? we're basically just supposed to dress our avatars up and write them a 100-150 word intro. Unfortunately the only character I can actually use for this has. uh. A character that I have not fully. Pictured clearly in my head yet. Well whatever 100-150 words that's barely anything. My Bebe app was... *checks* okay well the first person section, taking out action tags and keeping only dialogue was only 86 words BUT THE THIRD PERSON WAS MUCH LONGER. AND HARDER. PLUS I HAD TO WRITE THE FIRST PERSON IN A THICK FRENCH ACCENT WITH FANGIRL FANBOY JAPANESE. SO. YEAH THIS'LL BE A SNAP.

I just need to find clothes to dress my avatar in ugh fml.

ohay i'm alive

i shouldn't even be here right now i'm in the middle (two thirds through?) of an essay that's due in an hour

there is some sort of irony in writing an essay bitching about semantics for a class on sexuality, i'm sure of it. well at least bitching about semantics is something i'm good at THANK YOU CREATIVE WRITING CLASSES.

in related news: school is eating me alive jesus fuck somebody SHOOT ME the next time i decide that taking four writing workshop courses in one term is at all feasible BECAUSE IT IS NOT I HAVE NO TIME TO DO ANYTHING ANYMORE I MISS THE INTERNET AND TALKING TO PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL ;~;

on that note, assuming i am not sjdhflksjhfd EXHAUSTED by the end of today, there is a possibility of seeing me lurking around the intarwebz later tonight. will likely spend my time watching House FINALLY CATCHING UP ON REPLIES OTL, and yeah assuming i am not dead on my feet i will. like. be around. I'M NOT GOING TO PROMISE AIM TIME BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE A BITCH EVERY TIME I DO NOT SHOW AFTER SAYING I WILL SHOW BUT I WILL TRY. I WILL TRY.

Now if you'll excuse me, i need to figure out how to stretch my semantics!bitching out over another. half a page/full page.

...

i should have just slept.

i am literally at the point where if this were my fiction class i would be asking if i could just. email it out later but. well frankly this teacher's a bit of a bitch. her excuse for not accepting lates isn't even that it's incovenient for the class, but because we need to get used to meeting deadlines if we plan on a career in non-fiction. which is a valid point but aaaaaaaaaaugh the way she said it was just. just. god i do not like her.

anyways.

how do i do character sketch.

also why won't my thumb stop bleeding. fucking hangnail.

actually a better question than "how do i do character sketch" would be "how do i do character sketch in approx 650 words."

one scene + tiny flashbacks? maybe? two scenes + mini info-dumps?

let's try two-ish scenes.

yeah.

...

i have a fucking outline

and the only thing stopping me from writing is that it's just too fucking personal for me

THIS IS WHY I HATE NON-FICTION. MOTHERFUCKERS.

well that and i'm tired. i want to sleep for two hours or something and then write for two hours in the morning but that would. like. Require the typed version to be done also during those two hours so that I could print during lunch and yeah no. That would end up being an hour for writing, 20 minutes for typing, 20 minutes for printing + stapling, and 10 minutes to get ready and out the fucking door for my FICTION class. Yeah.

i wish i could just turn off the part of my brain that is fucking blocking my goddamn pen.

............. maybe i should try a different approach and just. start with the typing for once. usually i can't write unless i have a tangible pen and paper so that i can't just. delete everything i write down or stare at a blinking cursor for ages at a time, but idk i think having the ability to constantly check my word count may help me keep from going insane. that and typing feels like a one-step remove from paper+pen, so maybe my stupid mental block will be thwarted by it. idk. IDK.

.................................I should have bought an energy drink.

though at least i won't be coming down from a caffeine crash during class. those suck all sorts of ass.

hay hay hay

guess what

i am an idiot

Seriously though I am starting to suspect some sort of subconscious desire for self-destruction here because I just spent the last five or so hours reading FFVIII Seifer/Squall angsty high school AU fic instead of doing my writing assignment for non-fiction.

In my defense I still loathe non-fiction and so may have been putting it off with a bit more stubbornness than usual but SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK COME ON NOW SELF. GET WITH THE FUCKING PROGRAM.

I even recognize the fucking pattern too i never have enough time to legitimately have as much fun as i want, so i use up my time slotted for productive shit to dick around instead. i then get stressed because i have even less time to do productive shit and start feeling resentful about NEEDING to do productive shit and so rebel by dicking around even more. IT IS AN ENDLESS CYCLE OF PROCRASTINATION AND DICKING AROUND AND FUCKING MYSELF OVER ACADEMICALLY.

I can't wait for this semester to be over with. Next semester is slotted to be less insane, and hopefully i should be able to get my fucking head back on straight and sort out my fucking priorities over the holidays. augh.

on the plus side the thing for non-fiction only needs to be a minimum of five hundred words? However I don't want to abuse that lower limit too hard i'm pretty sure the teacher already has got her eye on me for the last extremely short assignment i handed in.

for the curious who have managed to make it through my bitchy whining thus far, i am supposed to be writing a character sketch. AHAHA FML. Assignment description goes like "Use scenes, dialogue, telling details to write about someone you know. No interview requred. (500-1000 words)"

i'm not even sure who to write about. i thought maybe one of the posse members but idk. IDK. aside from feeling like a complete tool over the completely likely possibility of fucking things up, i can't quite get over the feeling that my fucking non-fiction class has no fucking right to know about as much of either my personal life or the. the. subject of written-thing?'s personal life that would be required for such an endeavour.

A similar argument could be made for writing about a family member. That and the fact my grandparents at least will want to read it. Though I could avoid the whole issue by just. not mentioning it? augh.

the problem is anything interesting i could write about them is pretty much. yeah NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS WRITING CLASS.

jesus fuck i just need to pick somebody already. if i can do that, i can go take a shower to wake myself up and think about exactly how to approach this fucking thing. then i can actually WRITE IT, print it off, and. idk catch an hour of sleep or something.

Not my sister. i love her dearly but i doubt i'd be able to write five hundred words on her and make them interesting. not my brother, purely because 1) I would TL;DR like mad and be extremely biased in a negative way, and 2) if i am going to work out my issues with someone via writing it sure as hell is not going to be through fucking non-fiction.

Not my mom or dad because. IDK. i wouldn't know where to start or where to begin or what to even try to say. seriously.

.................... though come to think of it this is a character sketch. it doesn't necessarily need to. GO anywhere. though it should show a progression of events still shouldn't it. they are like this and like this and like this AND THIS IS THE CROWNING POINT RIGHT HERE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS.

... maybe i should just write about my brother. idk. no. nope if i do that it'll become all about me and just be a whiney rant NO.

okay clearly this is getting me nowhere, i'm just going to have a fucking shower and hope I figure it out then.

..................... hey what if i write about someone from elementary school/junior high or something. i would be saved from trying to figure out what scenes to write about from the simple fact that i can only remember the stuff that stuck out the most............. idk. maybe.

okay seriously fuck this shower is now i'll figure it out. no more fucking whiney posts until this shit gets done. FIVE HUNDRED TO ONE THOUSAND MEASLEY FUCKING WORDS SUCK IT UP ALREADY.

...

...

...

...

SHINICHI/HIS RIGHT HAND IS MY NEW OTP.

( the depressing thing is that i'm not even joking )


Will likely spazz about this later, unfortunately because of this series i have fucked myself over schoolwise again 'cause i r smrt, so i gotta go be productive and hopefully manage to do all my homework and still get enough sleep. COULD HAPPEN?

...

...

...

I may or may not have had an unplanned bout of hermitude + internet silence wherein I stayed in my room all weekend playing Persona 3, obtaining every ending + the perfect ending in Kuro no Tsuki, and basically did nothing productive except for washing the dishes and managing to actually spend some time studying for my last midterm.

OTL

I know I have comments to reply to and those will all be gotten to sometime tonight AND I SHOULD BE ON AIM FOR ONCE REALLY I SWEAR FOR REAL THIS TIME OTL OTL OTL [edit] okay maybe tomorrow I am more tired from staying up late studying and then trying to get that goddamn perfect ending than I realized orz. If I am not on AIM tomorrow please feel free to shoot me and/or send frowny-faces and/or deprive me of cake to show me what a horrible horrible person I am fffffffffff orz

Anyways.

( Ramblings on Kuro no Tsuki aka one of the only BL games in english )

I still find it incredibly ironic that my primary OTP in this game isn't even part of the character routes. PHYLIAS/RAVIL FTW MAN. FTW.

In other news I believe new roommate may be even more passive agressive than I am? This is. Not pleasant. She seems to have decided that if she has an issue with me that a written note on the table is better than a direct "HAY DO YOU THINK YOU COULD WASH THE DISHES." Possibly this is frustrating because she has some habits that annoy me that I ignore mostly because I know I'm not such a perfect roommate myself (SEE: NEVER WASHING DISHES, LEAVING PAPERS ON THE FLOOR), but at least I 1) wash the dishes THOROUGHLY and don't leave grease spattered all over them, 2) don't turn the stove into a disaster area of grease and grime, 3) take out the garbage, and 4) don't leave the windows open causing the landlady to start with the note-giving where she politely goes on about how open windows in fall does not equal a good idea because of the high heating costs and please stop leaving the windows open you're nice girls I wouldn't want to start having to charge a higher rent please close them?

skldjfhsfds

I would be able to better deal with all of this if she hadn't seemed to have completely given up on trying to interact with me. Augh. Come on I'm really not that scary you don't have to time everything so that we're never in the same room at the same time >:|

bawwwww Jen I miss you it sucks not being able to talk to someone normally and in person when I'm home ;~;

HAY HAY GUESS WHAT I FINISHED MY MIDTERM AND I THINK I DID PRETTY OKAY ON IT :Db

AND HAY GUESS WHAT ELSE. YOU KNOW THAT THING I WAS READING ALL DAY YESTERDAY AND EVENTUALLY STAYED UP UNTIL 4:00 AM TRYING TO FINISH SO I WOULD BE PREPARED FOR THIS TEST?

THE ONE QUESTION THAT WAS RELEVANT I COULDN'T EVEN ANSWER.

WHILE THE OTHERS I DID ZERO STUDYING FOR AND WAS JUST RELYING ON MEMORY, ENDED UP BEING THE ONES I DID.

HOW IS THAT FOR IRONY :D :D :D :D OTL

thankfully it was a "choose three out of four questions to answer" type dealie otherwise I would be kicking myself SO. FUCKING. HARD.

As it is I am already kicking myself hard as I might as well have spent yesterday having fun and getting to bed at a decent hour instead of playing a massive game of Catch Up.

On the plus side I am currently all caught up for Tuesday's class?... owait no we got assigned a new text this week for Tuesday augh.

Though I now have a weird hankering to write Bevis of Hampton fanfic. NOW IS THAT AN OBSCURE FANDOM OR IS THAT AN OBSCURE FANDOM. Seriously though I have this weird urge to write fic from Ascopard's POV where he's all BEVIS YOU 'TARD I WAS YOUR PAGE Y U REPLACE ME LIKE THIS ;~; I'M A FUCKING THIRTY FOOT GIANT MAN HOW THE HELL IS HE ANY BETTER HE'S PUNY. WHAT THE HELL. FUCK YOU I'M KIDNAPPING YOUR WIFE AND BRINGING HER TO ONE OF YOUR MORTAL ENEMIES TO BE ILLEGALLY MARRIED OFF PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEEEE.

Possibly because Ascopard is the first time all semester we've seen a giant who wasn't outright Evil, and actually consisted of some shades of grey :|b Actually there was a lot of shades of grey in this text it was kind of awesome really. Much refreshing. The Song of Roland was slashy as hell (lol Roland/Oliver OTP lol) but it was also very much. CHRISTIAN ARMY VS THE FILTHY HEATHEN HORDES. Hell a direct quote from the text is "The Christians are right, the pagans are wrong." A DIRECT QUOTE. fffffff While in Bevis of Hampton Bevis pretty much goes around being an obnoxious violent ass that you kind of sympathize with but go "wtf r u doin" when he gets it into his head to go into a mosque and slaughter all the worshippers FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHATSOEVER WHAT THE HELL BEVIS. He was actually being portrayed as somewhat monstrous there, instead of an AVENGING HERO or sth.

Seriously though strange urge to write Ascopard fic murf.

Anyways. I actually don't have INSANELY MASSIVE amounts of homework today so nothing should be in the way of online shenanigans. will probably pick out a few more potential doujin to scan for Jen to okay or nay when she comes online.

I ALSO HAVE A STRANGE URGE TO MAKE A MUSEBOX. Mostly because I have like. 7 RP accounts sitting around empty and nowhere to play with them because 1) I'm a wuss and 2) I have no time. IDK Jen would you be interested in such a thing? I know you've been wanting to RP again but are having lack of time issues also.

IDKKKKKK it's a possibility. may come to nothing. will. probably come to nothing actually considering how most of my ideas end up, but whatever POSSIBILITY MAYBE.

.... WAIT. WHAT. I DO NOT REMEMBER THAT FROM THE FIRST WATCHING.

Okay so like at the very end of the second movie it is HEAVILY HEAVILY IMPLIED that Magneto gets his powers back, rite? It's like. The last scene. The very last scene because it's like the DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUN LOOK NOW THERE'S POSSIBILITY FOR A SEQUEL etc etc. And I distinctly remember spending all of the second movie going NUUUUUUUUUUUU CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARLES YOU CAN'T DIE YOU'RE LIKE HEAVILY INVOLVED IN EVERY SINGLE PLOTLINE OF THE COMIC AND DIE AND COME BACK REPEATEDLY WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU MAN ;~;. But the second movie ended without any such hint and literally Magneto was LASTO CUTTO.

Only.

This time it wasn't the last cut.

If I am not COMPLETELY HALLUCINATING, they moved Magneto's little stunt or pre-stunt-warmup with the chess piece to just before the heartwarming THIS IS WHERE EVERYONE IS NOW thing with the rest of the X-men + Flying Fetish Fuel. And then. They cut to doctor chick (WHO I JUST REALIZED IS ADEL FROM THE DOLLHOUSE WOW MINDFUCK almost as much as the guy who plays Fraser as the Beast) who they showed very briefly near the beginning who was tending this dude who had a completely functioning body but no higher brain function whatsoever and it was like part of a classroom example on ethics. The point is NO CONSCIOUSNESS. THERE IS NO PERSON IN THIS BODY, IT IS AN EMPTY BODY.

So the new last cut, is doctor chick walking into the room, and we see empty coma guy's arm grab her arm and is all like. "HELLO MOIRA :)"

IN CHARLES' VOICE.

OH FUCK YOU DIRECTOR PEEP FUCK YOU. IT IS NOT NICE TO PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS LIKE THAT. WHY WASN'T THIS THERE IN THE FIRST VERSION DAMN YOU IT WOULD HAVE SAVED ME FROM MUCH FRANTIC CONSPIRACY THEORIZING AND ANGST.

On the plus side JEN OUR OLD-MAN SHIP APPEARS TO BE COMING BACK FOR. Whenever they do a direct sequel again. HOPEFULLY NOT ANOTHER ORIGINS MOVIE. jskdhflsdkjfhs

............... and possibly i want another movie in the hopes that Flying Fetish Fuel will be making a repeat performance skljdfhljskd wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings ;~;
[edit]......... oh wait derp this WAS the third movie. So. wait what the hell was in the second??? Jean ended up underwater in that one clearly but I can NOT remember what Magneto's scheme was at all aaaaaaaaaa. The first one it was like. A gigundo machine that was supposed to turn everyone into mutants and powered by Rogue? Or sth. But the second movie is a complete blank fffff. Wait wasn't Nightcrawler in it? oh yeah and wikipedia tells me that they are actually working on other Origins movies and that there is no word on a sequel to the main storyline. OTL.

On the plus side, there's one planned for Magneto, another for Gambit, and yet ANOTHER for Deadpool (who. I had not actually heard of before wolverine movie I WAS YOUNG WHEN I WATCHED THE CARTOON OKAY AND I STOPPED WATCHING BEFORE I FOUND OUT ABOUT HIM) so hopefully will be good??? And apparently there's going to be a sequel to the Wolverine movie. WHY. WHY. It really wasn't that great and jesus christ how is there even any time in the plotline for one I mean when he met Rogue in the first movie he was still pretty much completely memory blank so he couldn't have had much time to start making new memories yet jesus christ.

...................... really though I just want them to film on campus again so I can have my watching experience irrevocably tainted by the mental image of THE ARMY STORMING BUCHANAN TOWER. THAT'S RIGHT, SIC THOSE OVERPOWERED MUTANTS ON THOSE UNATHLETIC PROFESSORS, THAT IS AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF RESPONSE TO THIS THREAT I'M SURE FFFFFFFFFFFF lolol

... i can't believe i spent this much time rambling about fucking X-MEN AAAAAAA wtf self this is almost as bad as the time when I put off doing homework for the sake of staying up until 3 AM reading REALLY REALLY BAD Kingdom Hearts fanfiction. Like REALLY REALLY BAD. OTL

OH GOD THE SECOND X-MEN MOVIE IS ON TONIGHT.

THE WORLD DOES NOT WANT ME TO STUDY FOR THIS MIDTERM TOMORROW.

 

FML.

I am this close to just going "fuckit" and pulling an all-nighter IDK. IDK.

is it bad that my strongest memory of this movie other than shamelessly shipping Xavier/Magneto is that random winged dude who is barely ever there. HE TAKES BLATANT ADVANTAGE OF MY WING-KINK GDIT SDLKJFHSDl

... okay seriously reading middle english is like beating my inner spelling nazi with a stick. I mean THE WORDS ARE ALL CLEARLY ENGLISH. AND YET. YOU GET STUFF LIKE. "HEVED" FOR "HEAD" AND "NADDE" FOR "NOT" AND "CHESE" FOR "CHOOSE."

I READ THAT AND I WAS WONDERING WHY THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT CHEESE AND LOVERS ONLY TO HAVE THE HELPFUL NOTES IN THE MARGINS CORRECT ME. OTL

In other news, I remembered that I finally have a credit card and as such set up my paid account to use automatic payments. AND FINALLY BROKE DOWN AND SPRUNG FOR THE 105 ICONS. I. I wanted them so bad gdit ;~; I don't know when I'll have the time to dick around long enough to fill 'em all up though ffff. Maybe I'll use it as a reward system where for every 20 pages I read I can add another icon or something :|

*editted to add the "middle" in "middle english" because wow that's a completely different sentence otherwise OTL

SO HAY GAIZ GUESS WHO STAYED UP TILL 5:30 AM???? This is why I should not be let near instant messaging programs, it is entirely too easy for me to think I'LL JUST STAY UP FOR ANOTHER HOUR NO BIGGIE :Db OTL

So yeah I have AIM now. JUST FYI. I actually got it first... almost a year ago? Back when I foresaw myself potentially RPing again in the immediate future and (LOL LOOK HOW THAT PANNED OUT AMIRITE) because it seemed like the entire RP community is plugged in to AIM so I figured it was a good thing to have around.

HOWEVER, IT DIDN'T SURVIVE THE MOVE TO YUMICHIKA FROM FRANK. So I had to reinstall. Like. Back in Septemberish? Anyways. Never mentioned it anywhere I believe just 'cause 1) I know so few people and 2) Iiiiii kind of fail at real-time convo ahaha orz.

anyways now that i've actually used the thing might as well use it more so HAY IF ANYONE USES AIM and actually wants to suffer my completely derp conversational skills just like PM me or sth and I'll give you my nick. PEOPLE FROM THE DR MAY KNOW FROM WHAT IT IS DERIVED :B

fffffff

anyways. i should. be getting milk, cereal, and cookies right now. milk and cereal for breakfast. cookies because i need something to snack on that will last longer than an hour while i'm studying. I HAVE TO READ TWO BOOKS TODAY BECAUSE I FAIL AT TIME MANAGEMENT. FFFFF. Oh yeah and they're in middle english FUN TIEMZ MAN FUN TIEMZ.

...

okay yeah foodget. baww.

TODAY HAS BEEN A CRAP DAY FOR ALL THINGS INTERNET RELATED.

ALSO I AM RUNNING ON ABOUT 4 HOURS OF SLEEP. OR LESS. WHICH IS. Not that bad actually in comparison to some other days but skjdhfd christ i am not with the program today.

So yeah the internet decided to give me spyware WHICH I THINK I FINALLY GOT RID OF and something was eating my bandwidth speed to all fuck and then i kept getting randomly disconnected and when i tried the neighbour's connection I STILL GOT RANDOMLY DISCONNECTED WITH SHITE BANDWIDTH and then msn copped out halfway through giving me alerts.

FUN TIEMZ.

More actual fun news: my dad got stranded on a business trip yesterday so he took me out for Real Food. Which was double the awesome as I haven't gotten groceries in forever ffffff. /PLANS SHOPPING LIST FOR TOMORROW.

Other news: scanned an entire doujin that MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN SCANNED JESUS FUCK AUGH. whatever whatever i know how to work the damn thing now and how to do it without butchering the doujinshi in question THIS IS STILL PROGRESS. now i just need to hunt down a copy of photoshop that either A) does not need a keygen, or B) has a keygen that actually WORKS and is not actually spyware or a virus or just random useless bits of code taking up space skdjfhs

Oh yeah Bleach was today. I can basically summarize my thoughts on it as "JESUS TAPDANCING JEAGERJAQUES WHEN THE HELL DID YUMICHIKA GET A RAEPFACE O_o." For. For one perfect moment they actually drew Kujaku's abs correctly and I dared to hope and then it was like. Like.

...

MACRO THURSDAY IS GOING TO BE INTERESTING THIS WEEK. TO SAY THE LEAST.

Kira got a Raepface too so it's not like Yumichika is the only one feeling the Filler Animation Blues..............And yet Kaze-fucking-shini's abs are always spot on perfect. WHAT THE HELL MAN WHAT IS WITH THIS FAVOURITISM. Wabisuke was pretty cool though, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that when Ichigo was freaking out over "OMG NO IKKAKU'S REIATSU HAS DISAPPEARED D:", he actually took the time to go "OH NOEZ YUMICHIKA IS IN TROUBLE TOO D:" Baby steps Yumichika. Baby steps! Your animation may currently be crap, but your screentime is the best you've had since Cuulhorne :|b

It helped that since there are apparently at least five different battles going on at the same time (POSSIBLY 10 BY THIS POINT ACTUALLY IDK), Yumichika pretty much got as much screentime as everyone else. HE HAD AS MUCH AS ICHIGO HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THIS MADNESS.

Also we finally got a new OP and ED. THANK GOD. THANK. GOD. Well to the OP at least. I liked the horrible horrible engrish of the last ED and am not sure how I feel about this new one. ffff at least it's something different.

Oh yeah and apparently Kenpachi showed up from whatever hole he's been hiding in. TEN BUCKS SAYS HE WAS ASLEEP THE WHOLE TIME.

Serph dropped.




Serph dropped.

ohgodohgodohgod "I.S." AKA "INTERSEXUALITY" HAS BEEN PICKED UP BY ANOTHER SCANLATION GROUP AFTER THREE WHOLE YEARS.

I. I HAD GIVEN UP HOPE. AND YET. HERE IT IS ;~;

Apparently the first release by the new group has been out for over a month! I only even thought to check into I.S.'s status because the readings for my "Critical Studies in Sexuality" course are all about trans-issues this week apparently and it was like. HUH I WONDER WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT ONE MANGA I ADORED TO PIECES DESPITE A CRAPPY TRANSLATOR AND CRAPPY TYPESETTER AND CRAPPY CLEANER AND BASICALLY WAS BUTCHERED SIX WAYS FROM SUNDAY AND STILL MANAGED TO BE THE UPDATE I LOOKED MOST FORWARD TO EACH WEEK. YOU KNOW THE ONE THE GROUP DROPPED BECAUSE THEY HAD ISSUES WITH HOW THE AUTHOR WAS CONTINUING THE STORY AND APPARENTLY HATED ANY AND ALL FORMS OF ROMANCE, EVEN IF SAID ROMANCE WAS NOT THE MAIN FOCUS.

WHY YES I AM STILL BITTER ABOUT THEM DROPPING THE PROJECT. EXTREMELY, ASTOUNDINGLY BITTER. As I said before the group was pretty much crap and the only reason I was sticking around was for this one series, and to have them drop it the way they did was like getting the middle finger and a "YOU'RE STUPID IF YOU STILL LIKE THIS CRAP." Bah. Fuck you too, Janimes, fuck you too. Also your group name is weird I still don't get the reasoning behind it.

................. oh yeah and I think this is also the same group that scanlated this other thing called "Utopia of Homosexuality" which ended up with the gay girl and the gay guy deciding that they were straight for each other, throwing four volumes of dealing with their sexuality issues out the fucking window. IT KIND OF RUBBED ME THE WRONG WAY. Especially since I wasn't sure if I even had the right to be feeling rubbed the wrong way. I mean. Who am I to say that this wasn't a perfectly valid conclusion for them? I mean, if there is no such thing as a 100% completely straight person, then it would make sense for there to be no such thing as a 100% completely gay person, rite?

...

...

...

SDLFKJSDFJHSD IT IS CONFUSING MENTAL. DILEMMAS? QUANDARIES? LIKE THIS THAT CAUSED ME TO TAKE THIS DAMN SEXUALITY CLASS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE HELPING SO FAR.

Anyways I think the point is that I was bitter that the manga about gay people who end up in a completely heternormative romantic relationship with each other by the end got completely scanlated and the one about an intersexed teenager got shafted as soon as too much time got devoted to said intersexed teenager's romantic life. FUCK YOU TOO JANIMES FUCK YOU TOO.

... actually now that I look at my old downloads folder I see a lot of titles by this group in there. Huh.

They still weren't a really good group. They just had a knack for picking out obscure, interesting titles that I really wanted to read and then essentially creating a monopoly on them. Bah.

ANYWAYS.

THE POINT IS THAT THIS WONDERFUL MANGA IS FINALLY BEING SCANLATED AGAIN AND SLDKJFHSD LIFE IS GOOD ;~;

OH JESUS FUCK I JUST FELL INTO A REVERSE TRAP.

GODDAMMIT NYAN KOI WAY TO PULL THE RUG OUT FROM UNDER MY FEET :|

Seriously wtf I never fall into reverse traps, at the very least not outright. USUALLY I HAVE A SUSPICION, AT THE VERY LEAST.

NOT THIS TIME THOUGH.

I don't know whether or not to congratulate them with a "WELL PLAYED NYAN KOI, WELL PLAYED" or to be bitter because my barely developing slash-ship was killed in the embryonic stages ffffffffff what the hell. That and I was all excited over a MANLY MAN who was still very much a bishie who liked GIRLY, FRILLY, PRETTY THINGS. Only it turns out the manly man was a tom-boy. sob.

Also Fukuyama Jun's chars were barely here this episode bawww ;~;

more general notes: -stop focusing so much on the harem aspect of the show plz writers, that is not the strong point of this show. I AM HERE FOR THE CATS DAMMIT. MOAR CAT ANTICS. THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS SHOW DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER HAREM SHOWS SO DON'T NEGLECT IT.

-though I suppose that said I actually like all the characters so far so eh I suppose I'm not hating the harem element. Though the main MAIN love interest kind of. Bores me. Immensely. Currently rooting for either Childhood Friend or Reverse Trap, who actually have
personality and are entertaining. THOUGH I AM STILL BITTER ABOUT REVERSE TRAP BEING A TRAP. GDIT.

-seriously though bring the cats back please

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE DARKER THAN BLACK STARTED TAKING ITSELF TOO SERIOUSLY AGAIN. I mean it's the kind of show whose creators thought "DARKER THAN BLACK" was a completely cool and srs fuckin' bzns title instead of kind of laughably pretentious. I mean. DARKER. THAN BLACK. HOW HARDCORE IS THAT MAN AMIRITE OR AMIRITE?

Anyways this episode wasn't as good as the first two, but I am not particularly worried. First season had some more "eh" episodes where everything takes itself far too seriously as well. Soon enough we shall get an episode where the writers remind us that LOLOL THIS IS A SHOW CALLED "DARKER THAN BLACK" FFFFFFF WE CAN'T TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AT ALL and all shall be right with the world again.

Seriously though Hei you are a sad, pathetic drunk. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE ACTUALLY CARRYING AROUND A HIP-FLASK. FULL OF ACTUAL WHISKEY. THAT YOU ARE DRINKING. You are so emo it hurts and you are part of why this episode takes itself far too seriously :| ALSO SHAVE PLZ. YOU DON'T ROCK THE STUBBLEY BUM LOOK AS WELL AS YOU THINK YOU DO.

.... which is still pretty damn fine actually but that's only because his base attractiveness is so high. BUT STUBBLE I AM NOT USED TO STUBBLEY HEI WHAT IS THIS.

Plot related notes: - I have a crack theory that when the boy twin got turned into a contractor, he actually switch bodies with the girl twin and the girl twin has been living in the boy body all this time. IT IS ALMOST ASSUREDLY COMPLETELY WRONG and yet I can't quite trash it fffffff

-............ sooooooooooo you're telling me that the girl twin is now a contractor TOO? And that, so far as I can tell at least, she retains her emotions?..................................... gaiz what the hell this is the stuff of mary sue fic WRITERS YOU GOT SOME 'SPLAININ' TO DO. 'SPECIALLY SINCE I LIKE GIRL TWIN >[

-also what was with that magical girl transformation sequence. Actually that isn't quite right HAY JEN REMEMBER UTENA AND THE PHALLIC IMAGERY INVOLVING MAGICAL SWORDS AND ROSE BRIDES? THINK THAT ONLY WITH A GINORMOUS FUCKING GUN. AND. No dude or dudette to pull said gun out of said metaphorical "rose bride"? THERE'S A MASTURBATION JOKE IN THERE SOMEWHERE.

- did those bugs eat that guy's face. because i really hope they didn't as i liked that guy and i'm starting to get slightly tired of getting attached to characters only to have them die either in the same episode or the next episode or the episode after that :| COME ON SEASON 1 GAVE US WAY MORE BREATHING SPACE THAN THIS.

-i just realized that every girl Hei ends up liking he has to kill. or vow to kill. FIRST HIS SISTER, NOW YIN APPARENTLY??? BETRAYAL CENTRAL??? I AM CONFUSED. Come to think of it what even happened with his sister anyways. God I should look this up or something ffffffffff. Seriously though what.

-Mao the badass blackcat is now Mao the adorable flying squirrel from Samurai Champloo. Man if that were a real live squirrel it'd be one of this high-paid actor pets or sth.

WHY NO I HAVE NOT GONE TO SLEEP YET. I am going to go do that now. Goal is to sleep at least 10 hours :|b
