New things to fangirl about
Happy birthday,
laurus_nobilis ^_^
Heh, how cool. One of my submissions won first place at
fma_awards! I was hoping to get placed or the mod's choice, but not first! Nice :D
By the way, I went to the comic store today. I bought XXXHOLiC #5 and Fruits Basket #6 & 7. Tsubasa #8 was sold out. I didn't have enough money to get the two CLAMP no Kiseki magazines I have pending to buy. Still, #5 didn't seem to be there, so it's going to take a while to get my Suu. #6 was there, and it pained me a bit because it's the RG Veda one.
Sobre HOLiC, me pareció extraño que tradujeran a kudakitsune (el pipe fox) como "armiño mágico". Sonaba algo bobo, aunque supongo que lo hicieron para diferenciar entre los kitsune del oden y el kudakitsune, aunque es una tontería. Sobre todo porque no se parece en nada a un armiño en su forma grande. Y algunas veces, Kimi lo llamaba "el zorro ése" XD
Otra cosa extraña es la diferencia semántica que introdujeron entre Ame Warashi y Zashiki Warashi. Ésta se tradujo en su día como "espíritu de las casas", mientras que aquella la llamaron "espectro de la lluvia". Y además, en este volumen dejaron muy claro que espíritu =/= espectro, hasta el punto de que Ame Warashi se ofende muchísimo cuando la llaman espíritu. Espectro es un ente de categoría superior a un espíritu, dice Yuuko. Entonces, ¿Zashiki Warashi es demasiado inferior a Ame Warashi, o es un error de traducción? Más aún, ella al hablar de la hortensia dice que "es un espíritu de las flores. Pertenece a la familia de los espíritus que gobiernan la lluvia". Pero Ame Warashi es una de los que gobiernan la lluvia también. ¿Eso quiere decir que la hortensia, por más pura y valiosa que sea, es de categoría menor? ¿O fue desliz de las traductoras?
You know, the volume included an omake about White Day.
"In case you didn't know, if it's said a chocolate factory imported Valentine's Day to Japan on 1958, White Day was installed less than a decade later, on 1965, when a sweets company started a publicity campaign pushing men to return the present made by their women and fellow workers... giving them, of course, products from its catalogue."
Oh crap! This totally destroys my "Yuuko forcing Clow to give her a White Day present" plotbunny! *sobs* Good thing I didn't save the Hershey's Kiss concept for this bunny...
And now, about Furuba...
[Ayame {mode: on;}]
[/Ayame]
Kiri's flist: MY EYES, THEY BURN!
OK, enough. But it needed emphasis!
There are several Furuba couples I like. I support Kyoru, like a lot of people, and this one is the volume about her discovering his real form. However, this is not the only reason this volume is the First Furuba Romanticism one.
It's because they introduce Mine and, with her, the Ayame/Mine :)
It's odd. I thought for a long time that Ayame was really gay, and I confess I like the GureAya even if the subtext is just goofy teasing from their part (ToriAya I don't fancy so much: Hatori is too straight and serious for that IMO.) But AyaMine was my crack pairing. I always had the impression, from this first appearance, that Mine was in love with her boss. I really liked it when she goes with Ayame to the school when the parents' reunion. It was sweet, it was cracktacular. I thought she deserved him.
But really, I didn't expect Takaya to make my crack pairing canon, like she did a couple of months ago! It was a pleasant surprise, I'll tell you. And if before I thought she deserved him, now the OTP scale went to the roof with the flashback fluff of doom.
So. It's odd that, even if the Kyoru scene in this volume makes me all teary-eyed, I actually squeed when I realized it included the AyaMine. I'm just a dork. Or perhaps, because the Kyoru is on every volume while AyaMine just had three spotlights. And it's my crack pairing made true. Maybe that's why I like it better than all my other couples. I know I'll also be happy if ToriMayu happens in canon, you know [coughs and glares at Takaya]
And also! The weirdest thing is, I watched the anime episode #20 last night and looked for AyaMine fic at the Pit. And today I buy the volume XD Too wacky.
I need to make Furuba icons... and have a couple on. When my account gets paid.

Oohh what raw do you need? I have the FB one. Still waiting for FMA (poor Roy and co.!) I never knew people put raws on torrents o__o I've learned something!
Oh, do you care if I friend you? e___e;; You're just too cool for school. Which, speaking of schools, I should be applying to some now, instead of making Aya/Mine icons! v__v Ah well.
no subject
and that way I don't have to see the random yaoi pron thereYou're free to friend me, if you want ^^ 90% of my posts are public, so if you don't get bored by me you can read me any time. However, I don't friend everybody back as my flist is a bit crowded now. I hope if you don't take offense if I don't add you. You seem very nice, but I'm unable to read journals that are too personal. I feel awkward.
no subject
Aww your so nice! That's just fine with me, I just like to friend people so I can see all the posts on my friends page, im too lazy to go around to different journals x___x how sad. I don't take offense, I know how it is, you wouldn't want to read my blogs, they are usually random and no one knows what im talking about x__X. Hehe.
