You live, you learn

Infinity artbook is tempting me *eye twitches*

I'm not liking the seasonal LJ look, unlike Halloween's. It's too colorful and clustered. And it looks bad in 800x600.

Last night, I was chatting with ruki_elric about the FMA fandom, and we started talking about pet shipping for some reason. We were surprised they haven't moved on to the animals yet. Like, Black Hayate/any animal or Xiao Mei/Al's kitties. I said Black Hayate would be the fandom's bicycle, whored by anyone with anyone. Some het shippers would be crossing fingers for Den and Black Hayate meeting each other in actual canon, age differences aside, while crazy yaoi fangirls would write Alexander (Nina's dog)/"Buraha" noncon sexxorz. Of course, we were kidding around because it's so scary.

But this morning, I see the manga calendar scans again (if you want to see them all, check here), and I remember that conversation again as I see Den and Hayate posing in images there. Ruki, Hayate/Den is so canon! XDD Check April! And December! But especially, see June!! XDDD

*sighs* Anyway...

Again, some mp3 sharing! This month, some old Alanis Morissette songs that remind me of XXXHOLiC. You should really check them out, even if it's for the lyrics.

Artist: Alanis Morissette
Song: You learn
Genre: Rock ballad, really cracky yet thoughtful
Notes: Okay, everything in this song can be applied to XXXHOLiC. No, actually, the song summarizes the whole series very well, especially the chorus. Dude. Just imagine Yuuko singing it (with Mokona, Maru and Moro occasionally meddling it. Mokona yelling "I certainly do!"). Of course, the generic you would be Watanuki.
I'd kill to see a music video with this song. If I knew how, I'd do it myself, with manga images because I can't wait for anime.

Artist: Alanis Morissette
Song: All I really want
Genre: Rock, more agressive than the others
Notes: A really random song, It's not as accurate as the other one, but some paragraphs are really HOLiC-centered. Most of them from Yuuko's side, but a couple of ones from Watanuki's. Some parts could be interpreted as D/W or C/Y.

And an extra one, for the_great_elk.

Artist: Alanis Morissette
Song: Head over feet
Genre: Rock ballad, romantic
Notes: Not HOLiC this time, but Touya/Yukito! It's about someone who slowly fell in love with her best friend. This one would be great for a TouYuki FST. I can just imagine them singing it as a duet. Except for the first paragraph; that would be Yue's.
The only thing that won't fit is "you treat me like I'm a princess". I have flashbacks of dragqueen!Cinderella!Touya XD
